(In front of Radio Star, that is seeking entertainment,)
(the entertainment racers have dashed in at full speed.)
(The original variety idol boasts his sense of humor!)
(An ambitious man who even wants to be the host, Jun Jin)
(His greed for variety shows have been hidden behind his rap skills.)
(A man who calls himself Gu Ra's successor, Hangzoo)
(Through "Miss Trot", she's become a superstar.)
(A woman with too much ambition and passion, Kim Na Hee)
(He's off the track of a rapper?)
(He never stops eating.)
(A big eater and rapper, Choi Za)
(The race becomes a catastrophe.)
(There's no speed limit!)
(There's no censorship!)
(The reckless talk drives Radio Star to the edge of a cliff.)
(The hosts end up giving up?)
("No Going Backwards" starts now!)
When I love someone,
there's no backing,
there's no brake,
and there's no blinker.
I just go straight. What?
He's going to get into a car accident.
Oh, no. I have passed by my place.
- I'm coming late today. - That's so reckless.
There's no backing in my "Nomad Project".
You already told everyone about it, so you can't back up now.
I need to leave. I have to.
You can't say you can't leave now.
If the cold-hearted man, Gu Ra, cries,
I will reconsider it though.
Gu Ra, I want to see your tears.
On the day Jong Shin leaves,
I am going to laugh my butt off.
(I'm going to be mean.)
There's no backing in my ostentation.
Recently, in front of a seven-month-old child,
I talked about Oliver Cromwell.
What are you saying?
Economy, politics, celebrities, and gossips.
I will be talking about it before I knew.
So don't let your guard down.
There's no backing in my R-rated talk.
I will collect all the footages that were edited out...
and disclose all of them when they remove the censorship.
Until then, please live a long and healthy life.
I will put them...
in your coffin.
Why are you worrying about a coffin?
Do you think you can do that?
You could die before me.
You're right.
- Goodness. - I was horrified to hear that.
I will pour water on your coffin.
Seriously.
That's right.
Every week, we go on a shaky ride...
like an eight-ton truck with a broken wheel,
but we carry on.
You're watching a high-end, fast, and furious show,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
What's with that line?
- That's a part of the lyrics. - That's Choi Za's song.
Today, we have four men and women who always go straight.
No Going Backwards Special.
He used to be a competitive and over-passionate man,
but he's turned into a sentimental man who cries on variety shows.
He's one of the 1st macho idols and the 1st entertainment idols.
A fossil idol, Jun Jin of SHINHWA.
Jun Jin always goes straight.
- He never goes backwards. - Look at his burning eyes.
He looks much more ambitious than before.
His eyes are showing his ambition.
- Aren't his eyes more slanted now? - No.
- Just a bit. - He's still got the burning eyes.
- Just a bit. - Of course, he does.
No one can beat him when it comes to eating.
A 40-year-old glutton rapper.
"A 40-year-old glutton"?
Aren't you 40 yet?
- He just has turned 40. - He's 40.
- He just has turned 40. - "Just"?
He flexes only in front of food.
- Choi Za of Dynamic Duo! - Choi Za.
Choi Za.
He's the winner of "Show Me the Money 6"...
and the first rapper to make it
to Round Three on "King of Mask Singer".
But to old people, he's less famous than a dish towel.
Rhythm Power, Hangzoo.
We were talking about going to Haengju Fortress just before.
- Now we have Hangzoo here. - Right.
In KBS and TVN,
she's been always the one who makes others stand out.
But as soon as she moved to the trot business,
she's become 1 of the top 5 singers on "Miss Trot",
making a dramatic reversal.
A comedienne trot singer, Kim Na Hee!
Welcome.
- She was from KBS? - Yes.
- Really? - She's my junior.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Come on in.
- Have a seat. - He's polite.
- He's really into golf these days. - Are you doing well?
The moment he entered the room, I could see his passion.
(The passionate man can't hide his passion.)
Jun Jin, I heard that during the pre-interview,
you said you monitored Radio Star thoroughly...
and gave a lot of advice to the writers.
What did you tell them?
Before I came here, I talked to Jong Shin...
and I heard he is quitting.
He is quitting soon.
He's always been the filter in the middle,
which is the most important role,
so I wonder who will replace...
Filters need to be changed.
Filters need to be changed once in a while.
I've been filtering for 12 years. Imagine how filthy I've become.
- I think he can never be replaced. - No.
- Nothing lasts forever. - As a fan of his, I'm worried.
Even if Jong Shin is gone,
- everything will be fine. - It's good to have...
It's good to have Young Mi here.
There have been many hosts sitting there.
When a man is sitting there, Gu Ra turns his back on him.
But he takes cares of Young Mi.
I have seen him on many TV shows,
and he's very nice to women.
(All the guest hosts had to be looking at Gu Ra's back.)
(Jun Jin was no exception.)
- That was being nice? - Yes, I like seeing that.
- He thinks of you as a woman. - Really?
You're engaged.
What are you talking about?
We're just colleagues. You're engaged.
- It's not too late. - What are you saying?
His face is all red now.
As a fan of Radio Star,
I'm just a bit worried.
He's been here for so long, and if he leaves...
The old model should leave now.
He means it. I can feel it.
He kept saying that when we were there.
- He was worried if he leaves... - There's no need to worry.
We'll be even more successful. Don't worry.
- Don't worry. We'll be fine. - I'll be okay.
Radio Star crews are the best production team.
I'm sure they will think it through.
They'll have their plan.
- Right. - Are you...
Excuse me?
Are you...
Somehow I feel...
very good sitting here.
Jin is really clever.
- He's got plans. - He really meant it.
I can do well when I get compliments.
But when I was there, I was a bit...
- You did well then. - You did a good job.
- I felt a bit left out. - No, you were good.
I think I can do much better on Jong Shin's seat.
You did great.
Why don't you put on black horn-rimmed glasses.
I have bad eyesight too.
This feels like an interview.
Seriously.
- He seems very motivated. - Right.
Choi Za, it took you six months...
to show up on our show.
- Really? - Really?
You seem busy posting food pictures on your Instagram all the time.
I have two professions now.
Eating was my hobby,
and somehow it's become my profession too.
I'm hosting a food show too.
- It was called "Choiza Road". - "Choiza Road".
He was good at filming that show.
Since Radio Star is a show that has high ratings,
I wanted to look nice on the show.
So I told them I would like to lose weight before I appear on the show.
You gained weight through "Choiza Road"?
But you didn't seem to have lost weight.
(Straightforward)
- He's gotten more weight. - Well...
Even when he gains weight, he doesn't look like it.
I didn't know Choi Za was so fat.
Well, I just gave up.
Since I have two professions now, it's hard to go back.
- Right. - So...
- I know. - By the way,
you have a good tip on looking skinny on TV?
I drink alcohol almost every day.
After drinking soju or beer,
my face always gets swollen.
- Right. - That happens.
Then my face looks much bigger than usual.
- The best drink is whiskey. - Whiskey.
I had a lot yesterday too.
Whiskey makes you pee a lot,
so my face looks smaller the next morning.
Beer makes you pee a lot too.
Beer does that too,
- but it has sugar in it. - Beer is different.
- It makes you swollen? - It makes my face swollen.
Those who have interviews the next day...
- should drink whiskey... - An interview?
if they have to drink.
Isn't it better to just not drink at all?
(He can't understand.)
- Well... - I don't get it.
- Should they drink whiskey? - In case you can't sleep...
- because you're nervous. - They can't easily fall asleep.
If you drink a couple of glasses of whiskey, you can sleep well.
It doesn't make your face swollen either.
Cognac helps you sleep better.
- Cognac is good too. - Isn't it really strong?
- It's almost as strong as whiskey. - Just a bit is enough.
Kyung Hwan started drinking cognac to avoid insomnia...
and now he's addicted to it.
That's why he talks about cognac all the time.
What?
You just say anything that comes to your mind, don't you?
This is why we need to change the filter.
The filter is too old.
- I liked it. - You said he likes cognac.
You're just being unreasonable to withdraw affection.
(He made a ridiculous joke to withdraw affection.)
Hangzoo,
you recently made it to Round Three in "King of Mask Singer"...
and you're the first rapper to made that far.
- Right. - He is good at singing.
(Hangzoo surprised everyone with his hidden singing skills.)
And yet you said all you were thinking about there...
was Radio Star?
I heard this rumor...
that if you give a good impression to Gu Ra on "King of Mask Singer"...
That's not true.
That's just the rumor I heard.
I heard singing doesn't matter, but if I impress him...
with my specialties, I will be more likely...
- to be invited to the show... - I see.
whenever there's a chance.
I heard about the rumor too.
So "King of Mask Singer" is like a rookies' competition?
("King of Mask Singer" is like a rookies' competition?)
Since when have you become so influential?
- Are you a broker or what? - I'm not.
- So? - I'm nothing.
So I worked harder on my specialties.
What did you do?
I imitated Park Sang Min singing others' songs,
for example, "Yanghwa BRDG".
Can we hear "Yanghwa BRDG"?
- Could you let us hear a bit? - Just a bit.
(Original version)
(I was alone at home every day)
(They cover their mouths.)
(He shows an ambiguous smile.)
(Aren't I good, Gu Ra?)
- This is awkward. - What was that?
- He seems to like it. - He's smiling in satisfaction.
Well...
His specialties were all right in the Round One, but in Round Two,
he imitated Director Bong Joon Ho and Park Chan Wook,
which was ridiculous.
I'd like to hear that.
- I'd love to hear that. - Director Bong Joon Ho.
I recommend you hear it with your eyes closed.
Hello, I'm Bong Joon Ho.
What's that?
Park Chan Wook?
Hello, I'm Park Chan Wook.
- They sound the same. - But if you close your eyes...
- You all opened your eyes. - What just happened?
There used to be a thing called nonsense specialty.
One says they will imitate Lee Hyo Lee...
and just says, "Hello, I'm Lee Hyo Lee."
- Exactly. - A long time ago.
"Hello, I'm Song Hye Kyo."
- She's good. - They used to do that.
This is the funny thing about this.
If no other people are around us like here,
we can just laugh about it,
but with 100 of audience in the front,
- Some of them could be his fans. - I couldn't criticize him.
- It drove me crazy. - It must have been hard.
(It drove me crazy!)
Na Hee, you used to be a comedienne,
and now you've become famous through "Miss Trot".
Really?
I heard your income has skyrocketed.
I got paid,
- and it was 20 times more. - 20 times?
How much would that be? 20 times.
20 times? So she's earning 100 dollars now?
- No, I'm not. - I don't know.
- I think... - I got you.
Goodness.
Actually,
as I used to be a comedian myself, I know comedians make...
3,000 to 4,000 dollars per month.
- As far as I know. - Right.
- That's what I know. - And 20 times that is...
Then...
You're very good at estimating numbers.
(Confident)
That's great.
How many gigs do you have a month?
Dozens?
- It must be more than that. - How many gigs...
do you have a month?
All I can say that my calendar is full of schedules.
(Her calendar is full of schedules.)
Your agency told you not to do something today?
Since I used to be a comedienne,
when I'm on the stage, some people expect me...
to be a serious singer...
and a funny person at the same time.
Then I get excited.
Comedians are like that, you know.
But my agency says I should try not to be too funny...
as I'll be singing serious songs in the future too.
They want me to restrain myself.
Could you entertain us for one last time?
- What have you got? - She's actually really funny.
How about she shows...
her specialties from when she was a comedienne?
Something fine.
"Something fine".
Many of you might not know this,
- but I have a catchphrase. - What is it?
I came to Radio Star...
by plane and by boat.
(That's fine.)
Nice. That was fine.
Is that what you did on "Gag Concert"?
Is there something else?
- I can imitate Lena Park. - Lena Park.
- Show us everything. - That's fascinating.
I know this is a dream
(She imitates her pronunciation, gestures, and facial expressions.)
(Singing hard)
(I wish I don't wake up)
(Awkward)
Who was that woman who can imitate Lena Park well?
- Park Seul Gi. - She sounded like Park Seul Gi.
(She sounded just like her.)
- I could have done better. - I'm glad she's a singer now.
(It's a relief that she found her way now.)
I'll show you one last simple thing.
- But this is... - Show us everything.
- what I did a long time ago. - She's trying to make up...
the failure with another specialty,
but she's only putting herself in bigger trouble.
- She should do what she wants. - She should just stop now.
She should do whatever she wanted to show.
All right.
Do you know the scorning look on Son Dam Bi's face...
at the end of her performance?
Until you decide
(She does her best until the end.)
- You look just like her. - She's good.
Young Mi really takes care of her since she's her junior.
You looked just like her. Show us more. Show us everything.
(She shows her love toward her junior.)
If I see her as a trot singer, not a comedienne, it's funny.
- You're right. - Really?
This proves how good of a comedienne Young Mi is.
(Young Mi is the best comedienne.)
She found her way after all.
(She found her way after all.)
Na Hee, you said your ideal type is here today?
That's what she said.
Ideal type...
(Chuckling)
Choi Za is my type.
- Choi Za. - I like men like him.
Do you two know each other?
I think we met at Kim Ki Ri's birthday party.
- Ki Ri. - I met him there.
He said he likes to discover good restaurants...
and would share his list with me.
He told me about some restaurants.
- Did he? - I secretly thought...
he might be interested in me.
I remember thinking that then.
I have never seen anyone who liked Choi Za...
because of the restaurants he knows.
He told me about all the nice restaurants.
So I almost misunderstood him.
It turned out he's just a person who loves good restaurants.
He's just a person who loves good restaurants.
That's before "Choiza Road", right?
- That's a long time before that. - Right.
I was the same then.
But as I remember,
I thought she was so pretty she could even be an actress.
- She is. - I see.
But she wasn't so funny. She didn't seem so talented.
(He suddenly criticizes her.)
(Humiliated)
- I mean... - She was just a pretty comedienne?
Some people just look funny.
Right. Those who are off the wall.
I think I thought she might not be that funny.
(They have different memories on the same day.)
But you turned out funnier than I thought.
I have never seen Choi Za rapping...
in his Instagram lately.
- It's always the food. - He posted a photo of bibimbap.
I saw deodeok too.
I wish he's more dedicated to music.
Actually, I'm eating well...
so I can be a good musician.
We're going to release a new album within this year.
Is the title of the song, "Good Restaurant"?
Oddly enough, a big part of the lyrics are about food.
So Gaeko is warning me often.
(He writes appetizing lyrics by instinct.)
For the past 20 years,
Jong Shin has been unconsciously hurting...
- a lot of people. - Right.
He used to humiliate others.
- Is this the segment? "NY"? - Yes.
"Nitpick Yoon Jong Shin".
That's right. Hangzoo said he'd like to nitpick Jong Shin.
I haven't even known him for long.
- What is there to nitpick at? - No one would stop you, Hangzoo.
He's been so privileged so far.
- I know. - "Privileged".
- Don't you think? - That's not it.
He's been hurting a lot of people.
That's not what this is about.
He's a musician I greatly respect.
When I heard I was going to see him on a TV show,
as he's a musician I look up to,
- I wanted to go say hi to him. - You wanted to say hello.
So I said hi to him about 5 to 6 times.
- Really? - But he just walked past me,
- as if he hates me. - That's not true.
But he would never do that.
You should have taken the hint.
Jong Shin was making himself clear.
There must be a reason why he ignored you multiple times.
- It was my first time meeting him. - That's true.
I didn't know he was saying hi to me.
- So... - How did you say hi to him?
I thought...
he might not have noticed me because I was with a bunch of people,
so I waited.
I waited for him in front of the restroom.
When he came out, I said hello to him.
It was just the two of us there.
But he just walked past me with his eyes fixed to his phone.
- Really? - That must have hurt you.
- I had no idea. - I thought I might have done...
- something wrong. - Let me tell you what.
I have been friends with Jong Shin for a long time.
We've been hosting the show for 12 years now.
But I still have to say hi to him many times.
That's just how he is.
Even when I'm alone with him in a room,
I have to say hi to him multiple times...
to get his answer.
So don't mind much about it.
Will you come make a bow to me in the New Year again?
Just bear with it.
If there's something you don't like about me,
- No, no. - we can clear it up here.
- I wanted to tell you at least. - It was my first time seeing you.
I wouldn't ignore someone's greeting like that. I probably didn't...
Even if it was your first time seeing him,
- you could've said hello to him. - I didn't know he said hi to me.
It's not that. I can explain why this happens.
- When they focus on their work, - Right.
they might not see you.
I thought it was something worse than that. It wasn't that bad.
- That wasn't so bad. - Really?
("Nitpick Yoon Jong Shin" ended with a small story.)
Hangzoo, you have a bad memory with SHINHWA's fans?
It was when SHINHWA was...
really popular just like how popular Wanna One is now.
SHINHWA came to perform at City Hall in Incheon.
They came to perform, and I was their fan.
I wanted to see them in person.
I went into the crowd, but all of a sudden, someone...
slapped my face from the back.
- Who? - Why?
I didn't know who it was.
- I got slapped. I was surprised, - Jun Jin slapped you?
- so I turned back. - Me?
- Why would I do that? - No, no.
I'm sure one of the security guards did it.
- No, it wasn't the security guard. - Then who was it?
- It was the fans. - My goodness.
That was my first and last time to get slapped in my face.
- SHINHWA's fans did that? - Was it a guy or a girl?
- I think it was Jun Jin's fan. - Was it a guy?
Was it a guy or a girl?
- Why though? - I couldn't find who it was.
The fan thought I was cutting in line, but I wasn't.
- There was no line. - That could happen.
I think it was because I was the only guy...
and they had to see SHINHWA,
but I was going into the crowd when I wasn't one of them.
- I got slapped from the back. - You got slapped in the face.
So I have a bad memory about them.
- SHINHWA's fans... - About his fans.
are very strong,
so I can understand him. Our fans are pretty strong.
By the way, I'm on another show with him.
A lot of my fellow singers...
People rank celebrities to see which one is the strongest fighter.
- People said Hangzoo isn't on it. - Really?
- And he's good at sports too. - It's not just sports.
- He's actually good at fights. - No, no.
He majored in Judo.
- We don't do judo like this. - That's why the senior singer...
he likes is Jun Jin.
- I heard he's a good fighter. - He's athletic.
Actually, I've heard so much about Jun Jin.
This kind... What's he talking about?
- I've heard a lot about you. - We'll talk about Jun Jin?
- Let him finish. - I didn't want to sit next to him.
- I thought they'd make me fight. - We, real men,
don't try to be on the list.
"Real men"? What do you mean?
But I really didn't want to be on the list.
Aren't you disappointed that you're not on the list?
Well, it's just their opinion.
Your eyes are burning.
(A real man like me doesn't care about the rankings.)
(A manly guy)
Hangzoo, you think you are to follow in Gu Ra's footsteps.
- Really? - Yes.
- I know that you're from Incheon. - He's from Incheon?
Surprisingly, a lot of celebrities are from Incheon.
How about following in after Yeom Kyung Hwan's footsteps.
(His small eyes are shaking.)
Yeom Kyung Hwan lives a diligent life.
- He was looking for a successor. - We're talking about him again.
(Exclusive Discount! Order it now!)
- What do you think about him? - He's on a home-shopping network.
- Come on. - Why? It could work.
You have a point.
There are more celebrities from Incheon than you know.
- Yes, there are. - He tells people he's from Incheon.
- "I'm from Incheon," - He's proud of Incheon.
"but I'm in Seoul now and I'm representing Incheon."
I'm the next celebrity who does that after him and Ji Sang Yeol.
I always say I'm from Incheon, but it gets edited out.
- Really? - That happens.
- Did you do that here too? - I do that a lot, but it gets cut.
On "Show Me the Money", about 6 of top 12...
- were from Incheon. - Exactly.
I guess there's something in Incheon.
- Well, as for Incheon, - I guess so.
we absorb the culture from Seoul.
- We are hungrier than Seoulites. - That's right.
- That's why... - Is it because of Disco Pang Pang?
Everyone from there is energetic.
- What? - That's right.
- Right. Represent Incheon. - It's...
I respect celebrities who have been representing Incheon from the start.
That's why I say that I'll follow in Gu Ra's footsteps.
I'm pushing for Incheon, Gimpo, and Ilsan.
(He ruins the heartwarming mood.)
Gimpo and Ilsan?
- He's disappointed. - It's not that.
Incheon... Well, we must love our city.
("Radio Star Daily: Incheon Expert, Gu Ra, Moves to Gimpo and Ilsan")
Choi Za, you said you saw...
a very serious side of Young Mi in a private gathering.
- We've had drinks once together. - Right.
She told sexy adult stories very seriously.
If she was serious, it would've been scary.
She had a blank face on...
- and talked about sexy stories. - Really?
How did she sound?
I don't remember that.
Choi Za, how did she tell the stories?
When adults get together and talk,
they might talk about sexy stuff and they make it sound fun.
She didn't whisper like this.
(He depicts the situation instead of the stories.)
She looked like this.
- You can't tell us the stories? - I did that?
They are too shocking to be on TV.
My goodness.
- They are that shocking? - But those stories are fun.
I had no idea.
I was already her fan before, but after that,
- I became a bigger fan. - Really?
I realized that she wasn't doing these acts for the sake of the show.
- She's just born with that. - She's a natural.
- She's natural to be sexy. - She has that energy.
I tried to take Young Mi as my role model.
- I tried it. - Really?
- Yes. But... - That's not easy.
I even tried to copy the dance she does.
- Everyone has their own path. - I think it'll look different.
People didn't like it.
- You tried to copy her dance? - Yes.
Why don't we take a look? Let's watch it.
- All right. - I was performing at events.
I was the MC who introduced the singers. "Hello, everyone."
"I took the plane and the ferry to get here."
"Play the music!"
(The music is playing.)
(She tries, but she's shy.)
I tried.
(It gets quiet.)
- I tried. - Here's what I think.
- It's better that you don't do it. - Since she's pretty...
This is how I felt afterward.
Young Mi does it because it's fun for her.
But I felt a sense of shame after I did that on stage.
- You shouldn't do that. - Right.
- You shouldn't do it. - You have to be shameless.
- Exactly. Yes. - You must be shameless...
for people to enjoy the dance.
You can't look...
- embarrassed. - Right.
- It gets weird from that point. - You must be confident.
Can you show it again?
- Yes, you must be confident. - She's going to do it.
(Gosh, the censorship is too tight.)
This is the pose, you scumbags!
You have to do this.
Do it as if this is your last time seeing them.
You must do it as if you won't see them ever again. That way,
- you won't feel embarrassed. - Right, right.
I think what we see on TV is only a tip of the iceberg.
- Let's have an orientation. - Yes.
- Let's have an orientation. - Let's hear your stories.
Yes. "Omniscient Interfering View" had one too.
- We should have one too. - Okay, okay.
Choi Za, but you saw the iceberg.
- It was the elephant's leg. - Right.
(What on earth did he see?)
(The iceberg will be revealed at the orientation.)
You are watching a high-end music program,
Radio Star with four guests who charge forward like racing horses...
once they are hooked on something without turning back.
We'll start today's discussion, "No Going Backwards".
Jun Jin, you said that there is some kind of button...
that unleashes the competitive side of you.
It was like that even when I was a kid.
The members and my acquaintances would say,
"Other people can do this,"
"but I bet Jun Jin can't do it."
- I see. - When they say that,
then I would do it.
No matter what?
When I was a kid, I got competitive with that.
My competitive side became stronger.
But you didn't feel competitive about your education?
No, it worked briefly when I was a kid.
- I got into math. - Okay.
I won about 50 awards at match contests.
- Really? - At match contests?
- I won prized in math competitions. - Are you exaggerating?
- I was young. I was a kid. - Is that really true?
- It's really true. - I guess he got good grades.
- Really? - It wasn't...
- real math. It was arithmetic. - Was it arithmetic?
- Arithmetic? - Goodness.
For example, on "Let's Go! Dream Team",
- if someone set a record, - Right.
- That's right. - he'd try to break it...
and his face would change.
- Back then, - He has those eyes.
I was new to this industry.
- I did my best for my team. - Right.
And it was the best TV show to be on.
That's why I exercised harder.
When Lee Sang In was always in the first place,
- I beat everyone. - Lee Sang In?
(Park Se Ri, Park Chan Ho, and Lee Sang In were the best athletes.)
(A young wild horse challenged him.)
All three of them are about the same.
(He won all the matches against Lee Sang In.)
(Feeling bitter)
Later,
I felt so bad for him.
He filmed a lot of commercials thanks to that show.
- That's right. - I only worked hard...
for the sake of my group.
Sang In lived only for that show.
- No, he had acting jobs too. - Right.
Why did you describe him like that?
Back then, the TV ratings...
- of the show were 46 to 50 percent. - That's true.
- Anyway, I feel really bad. - By the way,
- What about... - Did he call you?
"Idol Star Athletics Championships"?
"Idol Star Athletics Championships".
At my age?
- Celeb Five was on it too. - What's wrong? It'd be so nice.
- Have a race against Kim Dong Jun. - Right. Try it out.
I've been on the show before.
- I'm talking about now. - I read the oath...
- and supervised them. - "Supervise"?
No, that's not what I'm talking about.
- Do you want to participate in it? - I mean...
I'm not joking.
I'll participate if you do.
Are you serious?
Why would I be on that show?
- Am I an idol star? - Both of them...
- You could be on it. - Am I an idol star?
Why not? I'll be going up against a guy, 12 years younger than me.
But you're an idol star when I'm not an idol star.
- Exactly. - That's not fair.
(Should we look forward to their participation this fall?)
Choi Za, you get so excited when it comes to food.
I have to eat it even if I have to plan it. For example,
- there's a restaurant in Mokpo. - Mokpo.
- Our club is called Tasty Hill. - Tasty Hill.
I would try to talk them into going together.
I'd adjust their schedules so that we could eat the food I want.
Your Engel’s coefficient must be pretty high.
Well,
Gaeko's income and mine are about the same.
Gaeko is the breadwinner for a family of six.
- He lives with his parents-in-law. - Is that so?
But we spent about the same amount of money.
- Is that so? When you're alone? - Really?
- You eat a lot. You must eat a lot. - No way.
- I don't like eating by myself. - You take people with you.
When I eat alone, I can only order up to two dishes.
If I order a third dish, it'd be a waste.
You said that you had four rounds of meals yesterday.
- Do you know Kim Eui Sung? - Yes.
It was him and my foodie friends.
Some of my friends are crazy about food.
We decided to go to Incheon.
- Incheon. - We went to Incheon at night.
The restaurant was inside a commercial building.
I suggested going there.
I thought we ought to eat more as we'd be going all the way there.
- We had gukbap in Sorae Port. - Gukbap.
- We ate pollack soup nearby. - Pollack soup.
And we had Chinese food.
We couldn't end our meals there. After coming back to Seoul,
we had fishcake at a fishcake bar.
That's impressive.
Do you take antidiarrheal medicines during your meals?
(It prevents diarrhea.)
- Why would they take that? - Or...
- It stops diarrhea. - Or they could do the enema.
- It stops their bowel functions. - Enema.
- They should do the enema. - Oh, right. I'm sorry.
That will block your bowels even more.
- It blocks your bowel. - That was my mistake.
It will come through their mouth.
- I got it. - It's the interchange.
- I got it. I got it. - They must repeat...
I see.
Do you take constipation medicine during your meals?
We're smart about the order of our food.
If we have a proper meal first,
we don't need to have a meal. We order side dishes for drinks.
We spend time while we have some drinks.
People who like to eat are good at cooking too.
- Right. - He's good at cooking.
This is what I think.
- People with good palates... - Right.
are able to cook delicious food with any ingredients...
even when they haven't studied culinary arts.
- You can tailor to your taste. - You'd know how a dish tastes.
Say that you have a girlfriend.
Is there a dish you'd like to cook for your girlfriend?
- Are you an MC here? - Why...
- Are you an MC? - All of a sudden...
Just say that you want my position.
I'm his close friend, so...
He's gunning for that spot.
- Go ahead. - What if you get a girlfriend?
Is there a dish you'd like to cook for her?
- Since I love fishing, - Yes, sashimi.
filleting the fish I caught myself feels the best.
So sashimi?
- Really? Sashimi? - I'll slice it and braise the rest.
- I can do that for her. - Jung Chang Wook always joins you.
- He hangs out with a chef too. - Right.
When Hangzoo was on "Show Me the Money 4",
- he failed to pass the first round. - Right.
- You almost lost your eyesight... - Really?
- due to stress. - Yes, I've heard about that.
It's because I just felt like...
every rapper thought of me as a loser.
And the hip hop fans as well.
I was the first rapper that people knew about and who failed to pass.
Nowadays, that's understandable.
And in the first round, Tablo didn't pass me. And we're friends.
My name is Hangzoo
(The 1st gate to the national exam of hip hop)
(Anticipating)
(I'm sorry. Thank you for your effort.)
- So... - Oh, no.
My agent tried to comfort me.
"It's okay. You did well."
"Let go of me. I don't want to talk now."
"Don't talk to me. I'll go home by myself."
I walked quite far.
I think I walked about 1km or 2km.
And the street was empty,
so I got into a cab and left.
All of a sudden, people offered double the price to the driver.
The driver made us ride together. We were sharing the cab.
People asked me if I failed to advance and asked for a photo.
Because of that, I was so stressed out.
Because of...
what I felt that time, my eyes...
- You couldn't see? - I was under extreme stress,
so my vision got blurry overnight.
- That does happen. - Compared to before,
did your eyes get smaller?
- Come on. - That's not right.
Hey, stress won't shrink your eyes.
- He'd lose weight. Seriously? - My goodness.
- My eyes got bigger than before. - Really?
- It actually got bigger? - Your eyes...
- look like they shrank. - No.
So your vision got blurry due to stress.
- What did the doctor say? - My doctor...
diagnosed me with uveitis. It was due to stress.
- The cause was unknown. - Right, right.
- You had uveitis. - Did you take photos with them?
No, I told them I didn't want to, but they took photos anyway.
- They think like hip hop artists. - Right.
- I said no, but they still took it. - And they posted on Instagram.
"I'm on the same level with Hangzoo."
- But... - "With first-round dropouts".
- People might not have known, - Right.
but this was big news among rappers.
I wanted to overcome my trauma,
so I tried out for the sixth season and let go of my ambition.
After that,
my eyes got so much better.
- Because you won. - I...
I was there as a mentor.
When I heard that Hangzoo was getting evaluated...
Another artist evaluated him.
I was more nervous for him.
I thought that if he failed again,
he really might go blind.
That crossed my mind.
(His second challenge scared his friends more.)
Na Hee, when you were on "Miss Trot",
to beat Song Ga In,
you lied to the staff.
Yes, it was when we were choosing the mission songs.
There was a song I really wanted to sing.
It was "Bench" by Seo Ju Kyung.
But when I told them that I'd be singing that song,
- Ga In wanted to sing the song too. - Ga In.
- Oh, no. - At that moment,
- I thought to get this song, - You thought you had to get it.
I had to do the jive with a male dancer.
That popped into my head.
But I didn't have a plan then.
When I told the writer that I wanted to sing the song,
she said, "How are you going to do the jive with the song?"
"Show us here."
"If you prove it to us, we'll let you sing the song."
I told her to play the music.
How did you do it?
I've never learned the jive steps.
Why? Why are you laughing?
She's good at using her body to perform.
- Right. - All right. You didn't learn it.
When people think of jive, they think of this shaking move.
- Right. - Yes.
(Quiet)
(She's doing her best.)
Come sit on my lap
Whenever she performs,
it gets quiet here.
- Isn't that a good thing? - Why...
- I'm getting the attention. - Why are you guys so quiet...
- Sure. - when you watch her?
- By the way... - It's funny.
Go on.
After watching this, the writer said,
"Look at her face. Look how passionate she is."
"I can tell from her face that she can pull this off."
- They helped me out. - Really?
In order for Na Hee to become a trot singer from a comedienne,
she had a trainer to help her.
- This trainer is quite special. - Yes.
At first, I started to sing trot songs at home by myself.
I didn't have a teacher.
So I was practicing alone.
My dad came into my room all of a sudden.
"That's wrong. Sing it again."
He taught me every day.
"If you can't do that, try this."
(Her dad gave her an intense singing lesson.)
This is so interesting though.
(Interestingly enough, her singing improved right away.)
- It helps. - It does.
My dad taught me some singing methods and techniques.
My mom said...
my attitude was all wrong.
She told me to go to a mountain...
- and practice until I improved. - Really?
- Her family was so supportive. - Exactly.
- Her parents were helpful. - Go on.
Your parents gave you a hard training to be singers,
but they didn't train you when you were a comedienne?
I'm just curious.
- At first... - Comedy is different.
- Her parents are supportive. - Exactly.
(Her parents want her to be funny.)
I didn't know it's been this long for Jun Jin.
- It's already been 21 years. - It's been quite long.
- I debuted in 1998. - In 1998.
I bet the members of SHINHWA are like family to you now.
Now, you take care of their parents on their behalf.
I didn't get to do it this year. Was it last year or two years ago?
All of our mothers live in different parts of Korea.
Some of them don't live in Seoul.
I just had that urge.
I sent them a message...
- on Parents' Day. - On Parents' Day.
I sent them carnations too.
- You got them delivered? - Yes.
I didn't do it for the sake of the compliment.
But they were so happy to get them.
I thought I should do it more often.
But I couldn't do it this year, so I feel bad.
- That's it. - I see.
Well, it was...
Can you show some reactions?
- Well... - I mean...
- there must be a reaction. - It was...
- He's a great guy. - This story...
- should have impressed you. - No, no.
- You're indeed impressive. - It's because of the virus.
- No, you did a nice thing. - By the way,
I bet guys like him would be so good at his parents-in-law.
I should. I ought to.
- But your reaction... - It was nice.
- Gu Ra doesn't seem interested. - No, no.
- He's tired now. - No.
- Give me candies instead. - No.
By the way, he's very nice to them.
That's not easy. It's not an easy thing to do.
- Since Jun Jin was nice to them, - He keeps...
- Gu Ra can't criticize him. - He...
- He's got no choice. - No. That's a hard thing to do.
He just wants to move onto the next story.
Hangzoo, you made the CEOs of your label, Dynamic Duo,
give you a good signing benefit.
It was when I was on "Show Me the Money 6".
Unexpectedly, I kept advancing to the next rounds smoothly.
That's when I had to renew my contract.
I have a friend named Hash Swan.
- Hash Swan. - Yes.
- Isn't he from Gimpo? - Really?
- Yes. - I live there too.
He's a friend of my son.
I live in Gimpo too now.
- Really? - Yes. I live in Gimpo.
Anyway...
- Is this such big news? - I know, right?
- This isn't that special. - Earlier,
when Jun Jin was talking,
- he went like this. - He wasn't interested.
I understand how he does things now.
Do you know Sanggye-dong?
No, I don't.
- It's above Nowon-gu. - I don't know.
I'm from there.
This is what he does.
- He likes talking about hometowns. - They don't have common grounds.
- What about Gildong Intersection? - I get your point.
- After that, there's my town. - Okay, okay.
And then? Continue.
- Dok2 is the CEO of his label. - Right.
When he signed my friend...
Do you know the gold watch?
The one we always talk about.
He gives his artists the watch and the signing bonus together.
I could never imagine getting a watch like that.
"Is that how they do things now?"
I was so envious of him.
When I met more hip hop artists from that label,
they teased me while talking about it.
And it was time for me to renew my contract.
I kept giving them hints.
I just uploaded that video on my social media.
You got this when you signed the contract?
I got this with the signing bonus.
They gave you the watch...
- and the signing bonus, right? - Yes.
That fell on Dynamic Duo's ears.
Since they couldn't buy one just for me,
- That's so cool of you. - they gave one to everyone.
(An unexpected gain)
So did you buy it in Shanghai? Where did you buy it?
(Are those real?)
- It came out of our pocket. - Really?
After seeing how happy they were,
we thought we should have done it...
if we had known they'd be that happy.
You didn't criticize Hangza in your head?
- Hangza? - Hangza?
- I meant, Hangzoo. - I understood you though.
- What? - Hangza?
- Are we at a temple? - A temple?
- Mr. Kim Hangza. - He did that alone.
- "Hello, I'm Kim Hangza." - That's not a bad name.
- What was that? - Hangzoo.
- Before he got famous, - Hangzoo.
people said, "You know that guy, Rag?"
Rag would be better. What was Hangza?
- Hangza. - That's a nice name.
- I thought we were at a temple. - What was that?
(My name is Hangzoo, not Hangza or Rag.)
Na Hee, whenever you go out to drink, you get too excited.
- You go up onto the table first. - Really?
Since I used to be a comedienne,
people would ask me to sing a song.
- I'd sing a song on the table. - Okay.
We'll listen to Na Hee's song she sings when she's excited.
This is Na Hee at the karaoke.
(Dancing)
(What?)
(She's doing her best again, but why are they so quiet?)
(Na Hee is feeling the song now.)
(I guess we're not feeling it yet.)
(Covering his mouth)
(The atmosphere is heating up now.)
(Preoccupied with her performance)
(They have no words for this passionate performance.)
(He concentrates with his mouth open.)
(The serious look in her eyes takes your breath away.)
(He doesn't know what to say.)
(When will this end?)
(They watch her performance with bated breath.)
My goodness.
That was great.
- That was great. - Na Hee...
makes us quiet.
- You know, - I watched her in a daze.
- she danced diligently. - Why was everyone so quiet?
I glanced over at Gu Ra.
He sat like a Buddha statue.
(Frozen)
(He sat like the stone Buddha.)
He was enchanted.
I must correct Young Mi.
I wasn't enchanted.
When I was on "Three Wheels",
Kahi's dance enchanted me.
- It was incredible. - She did Beyonce's dance.
This dance filled me with thoughts. "She dances diligently, but..."
It wasn't so bad that I could go, "What kind of dance is that?"
- I didn't know what to say. - It was in-between.
You should have gone, "What kind of dance is that?"
- I personally thought... - It wasn't that bad.
- No, it wasn't. - I personally thought...
upon watching her dance,
"I will live as diligently as her."
(Serious)
Seriously.
- She has a different mindset. - You know,
you are right. I have to practice to dance this well.
That's right.
- You did a good job. - Young Mi half-heartedly said,
"That was great."
It wasn't great.
It was all right.
- I thought everyone was enchanted. - No.
- Listen. - I thought that was why...
Why would anyone be enchanted by that dance?
(We were just flustered.)
Choi Za, when you perform as Dynamic Duo these days,
you can't help but groan.
- Is it too exhausting? - From our debut days to now,
our concerts have remained the same. We sing many songs.
A concert lasts about 50 minutes.
We always say, "Even if we are dry when we take the stage,"
"we should perform hard..."
"so that our clothes are soaked at the end."
"Otherwise, our performances won't be special."
That's the mindset we have.
In the car on our way back to Seoul,
Gaeko continues to touch his knees because he is in pain.
- It's the dance. - We dance the same way.
It would be nice if we can switch out body parts.
- My Achilles' heel hurts. - That's right.
Still, we have to perform the same way.
Our solo concerts last about four hours.
- That must be so hard. - My goodness.
You should lower the ticket price...
and cut the time in half.
That's a solution.
(That might cut his passion in half.)
When you perform at clubs, you get attacked by fans.
When we perform at clubs, the stage isn't very high.
- The audience is very close. - I know what you mean.
- That's right. - They can touch us like this.
That must be hard.
Since there are many videos of me eating,
people touch my belly.
It's really frustrating.
It's really embarrassing. I want to look cool when I rap,
but they pinch my belly.
(Soft)
I have to rap like this.
(The hands reach for his belly.)
I guess they find it fun.
I have performed at an event with hip-hop musicians.
Ballad singers like me have a stylist come over...
and wear a suit or something.
Hip-hop musicians take the stage in the outfit they showed up in.
That's right.
Then they perform and come down the stage.
- They just need microphones. - We take the stage...
in the outfit we showed up in.
Leessang...
would take the stage in the outfit they showed up in...
and change afterward to a party.
(They dress up to a party.)
That's nice.
They wear an ironed outfit for a night out.
Let's say you perform at an event with hip-hop musicians...
and everything gets wrapped up at 7pm.
Going to a river afterward...
is really fun.
What do you want us to say?
- I am just saying. - Do you want to go to the river?
Let's go to the river before he leaves for the US.
- What do you want us to say? - It will be a retreat.
- Let's go to the river. - For goodness' sake.
(Let's have fun splashing each other.)
Hangzoo, like we said earlier,
there is a rumor that you are a fighter among the rappers.
When you were in "Show..." "Show Me the Money"...
Incorrect! You are out.
- "Show..." - "Show..."
You benefited from it when you were in "Show Me the Money".
Even though it's only a rumor,
it helped me from time to time.
When I had to participate...
in a 1-on-1 rap battle,
I went up...
to my opponent's face.
I stared him down before I rapped.
My opponent couldn't read me because I have small eyes.
I stared him down...
and he averted his eyes.
- He shouldn't have done that. - "I won."
- It was a staring contest. - That's right.
It's a war of nerves.
Did you fight a lot when you were younger?
No. I just fought as much as the others do.
- I see. - He played judo.
People who play sports don't fight much.
In which year were you born?
- 1986. - You are the same age as Swings.
- That's right. - Swings is a fighter too.
I don't know. I am sure he is better than me.
(Relaxed)
My goodness.
(I don't need to fight him to know that I am better.)
I sounded like you know that you are better.
He knows how to brag.
I am sure Swings is better than me.
I am not the best fighter.
- He reminds me of Swings. - I know.
- Swings also... - Only people who can fight well...
say something like that.
It's only a rumor.
A lot of people watch Radio Star,
so I wanted to reveal that it's only a rumor.
Swings sat in that seat.
(After 6 months of training,)
(he set out to conquer all schools in Eunpyeong-gu.)
(Conquering schools)
(Grinning)
I watched the episode with Swings and thought,
"I won't talk that way."
(I won't talk that way.)
(I don't fight anymore.)
Hangzoo, you can beat anyone in a staring contest.
- You have an advantage. - I do.
The size of my eyes is about the same...
- whether they are open or closed. - That's right.
Close your eyes. Let's see the difference.
- That's right. - Open your eyes.
When he closes his eyes, his eyebrows come down.
- Can you squint? - You know...
You know, it's better to squint...
for a staring contest.
- I am opening them comfortably. - That's right.
Then less air will touch your eyes.
That's right. He was born to be good at it.
- Na Hee has big eyes. - They are very big.
Have you had a staring contest against a woman?
Yes, I have.
- Do it against Na Hee. - Na Hee.
- I am good at a staring contest. - Really?
She's aggressive. You can't do it there.
Come on out. Come on out.
- Close your eyes. - Watch them closely.
- Close your eyes. - Are his eyes open?
You need to open your eyes, okay?
I don't lie.
- All right. Let's go. - "I don't lie."
1, 2, 3. Start.
(What is that?)
(She can't believe her eyes.)
(What? My eyes are open.)
This is a fierce match.
Their eyes must hurt a lot.
(It's fiercer than they expected.)
Are his eyes open?
(This is hilarious.)
My eyes are open in a comfortable way.
- Come on. - Hold on. Hold on.
- It's over. - Why did you do that?
- Na Hee. - Come on.
- It's over. - No, no.
- It's over. - Don't act up.
It's over.
Why did you make me talk?
Don't tell anyone that you learned judo.
(Don't tell anyone that you learned judo.)
You should admit that you lost.
Thus, the top one of the staring contest is Na Hee.
(He admits defeat.)
Was it your strategy to laugh?
No. I couldn't help but laugh since he opened his eyes narrowly.
My eyes were wide open.
- Okay. - Were they wide open?
I opened them comfortably.
(I opened them comfortably.)
Na Hee, you are confident that...
you have the best tongue skills. Is that a specialty?
I have a song that goes...
(Carbonara)
- "Carbonara". - Apparently,
- some people can't do it. - That's right.
- Car... - Car...
(Car...)
Everyone can do it.
You are particularly good at it.
- I can make it long. - Go ahead.
Will you stretch out the sound?
- Yes. - Ready. Set, go.
(Jong Shin and Na Hee have an impromptu match.)
(Their tongues dribble the R sound.)
(The match stretches on.)
It's about the lung capacity.
My goodness.
(They are very serious.)
(The vibration of their tongues shake up the studio.)
(Na Hee is at her limit.)
(Jong Shin is still going strong.)
I won.
(Jong Shin won the match of the R sound.)
- This is... - Listen.
You found a talent before departure.
- You know... - You could use it in the US.
You should busk this way when you are abroad.
- You know. - "Carbonara".
You know, there is the RR sound...
when you learn Spanish.
That's why I was good at it.
You will do well abroad.
We could pronounce "Radio Star" that way.
I do that every day.
Radio Star. Radio Star in Spanish.
You should go to Spain.
Young Mi is good at it.
- I do it all the time. - Go ahead.
(She shows the Chest Dance as she makes the RR sound.)
- I do it all the time. - She is good.
You can do it.
- Let's go to Spain. - Let's go.
(The two of them can sing and dance.)
Jun Jin, there is something you started...
to calm down your fiery temper.
I often close my eyes at home...
since I have dry eyes.
Listening to music that way...
made me meditate. It's really nice to do it...
sometimes.
Maybe you want to have a match of meditation.
We have Kim Do Hyang for a match of meditation.
(He has already begun.)
Did you learn how to meditate? Do you simply keep your eyes closed?
I looked up YouTube...
on ways to be in control of my heart.
I think it helps a little.
Does it eliminate idle thoughts?
I personally think it does.
What was one idle thought you recently had?
(What was one idle thought you recently had?)
One idle thought you recently had.
I think about the past a lot.
The things I didn't do well.
Do you feel bad about what you did to Jae Seok?
(He averts his eyes.)
You might think that.
- What did he do to Jae Seok? - It's not like that.
- He didn't do anything. - For "Infinite Challenge"...
What did he do to Jae Seok?
For "Infinite Challenge", he should have tried harder.
Who do you feel bad for, Yu Jae Seok or Kim Tae Ho?
Kim Tae Ho.
(Producer Kim Tae Ho)
I think to myself,
- "I should have done better." - That's right.
Having those regrets...
makes me work harder...
and more determined.
He doesn't meditate, but recollect the past.
- He regrets the past. - He regrets the past.
I close my eyes and regret the past.
You regret the past.
I play some music, close my eyes, and regret the past.
(That's how Jun Jin meditates.)
Let's talk about Jun Jin.
Jun Jin, you also have panic disorder.
I have had it for many years.
- Really? For how long? - It was when I was in my 20s.
- I began to suffer before you did. - I see.
I think it started in my mid-20s.
Really? You have had it for a while.
- I used to take many medicines. - I see.
When I took too many medicines,
- my mind wasn't in the right state. - They make you vacant.
Then...
I moved on to alcohol.
- It's worse. - You moved on to something worse.
- It's worse. - Meeting up with friends...
- made me feel comfortable. - That's right.
- Going home alone made me afraid. - That's right.
Being alone made me afraid.
- That happens. - My close friends...
- nearly lived in my apartment. - I see.
I still can't ride in a car someone else is driving.
- It's really hard. - You become anxious.
I didn't mind flying when I was younger,
but it changed after panic disorder.
"Why must I let someone else fly this airplane?"
"I would rather fly it myself."
"I can't die like this."
- I would have those bad thoughts. - That happens.
I felt like I was becoming...
- more strange. - Did you overcome it?
I think I did.
I still suffer from time to time,
but it has been over 10 years since I didn't take any medicines.
How did you overcome it?
You said you came up with your own treatment.
It's...
When Lee Tae Sung was here...
- Would you let me speak? - I am sorry.
You need to suppress your anger.
What do you do on August 19?
August 19? I am not doing much.
It's my birthday.
I...
- That's how Gu Ra talks. - It's your birthday.
All right. I still think we should start...
- with Lee Tae Sung's story. - Let me tell my story.
I wouldn't call this a treatment.
I imagine good things...
and have good thoughts.
You could call them recollections,
but I try to have a positive perspective...
on what happened in the past.
It improves my condition little by little.
I also think about people who made...
a happy family.
Do you watch "The Return of Superman"?
I think about those people.
(He ignores Gu Ra.)
- Then... - You haven't changed at all.
Then I think,
"I will marry and have a child." Imaging such things...
improves my condition.
- You imagine good things. - It must have been hard.
I am fine now.
(They make up with a handshake.)
Choi Za, you gave something up after you turned 40 this year.
When I was in my late 30s, I thought, "I need to get married."
I was under a lot of pressure.
Now, I think, "I want to be someone..."
"who stays single even if he can get married."
I gave up on getting married. I will stay single.
I will consider getting married only if I meet the right one.
- You know... - People who give up...
- get married the fastest. - That's right.
I think there is a phenomenon.
When you give up on marriage, you become relaxed with women.
- It makes you look cool. - You should let it go.
If you obsess over meeting women,
you don't look cool.
- Are you a doctor? - I mean...
It's simply what I think.
If you put your mind at ease,
you find the right one.
- Are you a doctor? - I am a doctor.
For goodness' sake.
I am preparing for my dissertation.
Gosh, you are spouting so much nonsense...
- before leaving the show. - It's simply what I think.
You should put your mind at ease.
My mind is at ease.
Don't be so obsessed.
My mind couldn't be more at ease.
I gave up on everything.
You share your hobby with Gaeko's son.
A big factor that made me gave up on marriage...
is the presence of children in my life.
- Gaeko has a son and a daughter. - Yes.
Gaeko's son really likes fishing,
so we go fishing together.
I want to raise him to be a true fisherman.
Gaeko is obsessed with classic cars.
He's really into them right now.
He is crazy about them.
That's Gaeko's hobby.
Gaeko is a well-known figure in the club.
Bae Han Sung is the godfather in that field.
They are in the same club.
- Are they in the same club? - They go to nice restaurants.
Ask those questions when you invite Gaeko and Bae Han Sung to the show.
- Okay. - You should listen to Choi Za now.
- Okay. - I was listening to him carefully.
This is my friend, Choi Za.
My goodness.
Jun Jin, your life is quite eventful.
When you recently had gastroscopy,
all doctors and nurses in the hospital gathered around.
It happened last year.
Jun Jin, your life is quite eventful.
When you recently had gastroscopy,
all doctors and nurses in the hospital gathered around.
Since I drank and smoked for a long time,
I was worried about my health.
However, my stomach was clean.
I see.
My doctor...
and doctors from other departments came...
and talked about how this could be at my age.
When I talked about my diet,
they murmured among themselves, "That could be the reason."
I thought you made a ruckus...
- in a sedated state. - Your organs were too clean.
- "But you drink a lot." - "How is this possible?"
- How is your stomach so clean? - When I got gastroscopy...
What are your dietary habits?
- I have multiple small meals. - I see.
I rarely eat red soup.
You don't eat mala hot pot.
(You don't eat mala hot pot.)
(Jun Jin stops talking.)
What?
Did I ask a wrong question?
I eat white soup.
I drank with Jun Jin...
since the early 2000s.
You used to drink soju...
- and eat jjamppong. - Jjamppong.
I guess his dietary habits changed.
- Did they change? - I don't eat jjamppong much.
You don't eat side dish much these days.
- I eat it maybe once a month. - Our dietary habits are similar.
- You don't add salt to food. - No, I don't.
I am the same. Have you had...
ramyeon in plain water?
- You mean without the seasoning? - Yes.
- Why would you eat that? - Why would you eat that?
That's just weird.
It's not like an ox bone soup.
Seriously.
You might as well eat flour.
- You might as well eat bread. - You should eat flour.
- Why would you eat that? - I didn't expect this reaction.
All right.
(Jun Jin's counterattack makes him back off.)
Choi Za, you said...
you are worried about your sentimentality. Why is that?
I think I feel emotions pretty well.
I feel happiness and sadness...
and express my emotions without any problems.
However, I can't cry.
- You are the same as me. - Really?
- I can't cry. - Gu Ra doesn't feel sadness.
I can't remember the last time I cried.
It has been years since the last time I cried.
- I feel sadness. - You feel sadness,
- but you can't shed tears. - You feel sadness.
My heart reaches out for other people...
- in a heartrending situation, - You can feel sadness.
but I can't shed tears.
To be honest,
- I am still like that. - You are still like that.
Sometimes, I want to cry.
- I want to bawl my eyes out. - You want to bawl your eyes out.
When you feel that way, cry by making the appropriate sound.
- What are you doing? - That would be really strange.
Listen.
- It gives you satisfaction. - That's...
That's how an old comedian, Lee Gi Dong cried...
in "A Smile Brings Good Fortune" a long time ago.
It gives you satisfaction.
- Do you remember that old skit? - Don't get stressed out.
You think I should pretend to cry.
Don't get stressed out.
You are a terrible actor.
(Crying)
It's your first time to see to see such a terrible actor, right?
It's like when a child pretends to cry.
(Crying)
Look at him.
It was a good attempt.
(I am the one who wants to cry.)
Don't worry about it.
- All right. - I was worried.
You feel cathartic after you cry.
You can go to a sauna for that.
Isn't being unable to cry despite feeling sad...
- a medical problem? - Could that be dry eye syndrome?
It's like being unable to poop despite feeling the urge.
He would have died if that's the case.
Should we call it constipation of the eyes?
"Constipation of the eyes"?
He is the exact opposite of Jun Jin.
- Jun Jin cries very easily. - I cry a lot.
- Are you going to ask me to cry? - No, no.
Don't worry in advance.
- I mean... - Do we have a timer ready?
(He is a passionate man who is ready to cry.)
Hangzoo, I hear there is a genre in which you want to produce a song.
I have always wanted to produce...
- a trot song... - I see.
- for a singer. - Really?
I am glad you met her today.
- I'm glad you met together. - I was really surprised.
When you two were having a staring contest,
- I think he lost on purpose. - No, I didn't do it on purpose.
The trot singers have...
typical melodies that they sing.
- They do. - Right.
- I'm preserving the melody, - Yes.
- and changing the lyrics fresher. - To more shocking lyrics.
I realized they didn't have lyrics that are like modern hiphop.
- What kind of topics could they be? - For instance,
the chorus should be easy for the adults to sing along.
If I were to make it about "Flying up,"
Before doing the chorus, I feel like flying...
when I'm shopping.
Then you're flexing.
People talk a lot about flexing.
- You're going to use "Flex". - Yes.
The first verse could be about buying gold watches...
or something like that.
I think this could be fun.
If you're wearing Jordan sneakers,
and the lyrics could be, "I'm flying up."
- "Michael Jordan," like this. - Right.
- I wanted to try that. - It sounds fun.
What do you think, Na Hee?
Can you make a song for me?
- Seriously? - Yes.
I hope it goes well.
It could be like one of DEAN's songs.
"Instagram," it goes like this.
Not all trot songs sound like that.
They go by this melody.
Not all trot songs go, "Instagram."
A lot of trot songs are fast in tempo.
- But I think... - Yes.
trot songs and hiphop could go really well together.
Because hiphop is very straightforward,
and trot songs also don't beat around the bush,
- Yes. They get along together. - they just say...
- what they want. - You're right.
- So... - So I wanted to make...
a trot song with the lyrics like hiphop.
That sounds good.
So it's a trot song with hiphop words.
Yes.
Na Hee is very aggressive during events.
You have a killer move for the elders?
When I go to events these days,
the elders like...
cute charms.
So I say, "Hi, everyone!"
"Na Hee is here!"
- "Na Hee is here!" - And they like me for just that.
Here's when they love me.
For instance,
I don't look pretty when I'm singing,
I tell them, "If you're thinking of posting pictures...
"of me singing, don't do it. Take pictures now."
So I hold the microphone and pose like I'm singing.
(Here's her killer move during photo time.)
"Take pictures now."
"Now."
It's chilly.
A dagger flies in and stabs my heart.
Why are you all getting so quiet!
- We don't know! - I'm going home.
We have no idea.
- I want to go home. - I couldn't even breathe.
- How should I react to that? - I couldn't even breathe.
The funny thing is...
I can't give a standing ovation, how should I react?
It's weird how she makes us concentrate.
- Come on. - Na Hee,
maybe we were expecting too much.
- We were expecting too much. - I feel sad.
I thought you were going to go ugly with it.
On purpose.
I do look ugly when I sing without care.
So...
(I feel sad.)
- It makes you concentrate. - So the elders love...
- They love me when I do it. - those things?
Yes.
They clap and burst into laughter.
It makes us concentrate.
(That's the best compliment he could give.)
It could be good if she did it in a library.
- The teachers could use that. - Or in academies.
- It was almost like MC square. - Concentration.
It makes you concentrate.
She works so hard.
Jun Jin, you went grocery shopping,
and something ridiculous happened?
- This isn't funny, though. - That's fine.
I was into bicycles, and I went to a market on one of them.
And I locked them...
around a pole that was about this thick.
I came out after I shopped groceries,
and the whole thing was gone.
The bicycle was gone?
It was very expensive,
and I rode it for a few months,
so I just went home that day.
And the next day I saw the news,
and the thief...
who steals expensive bicycles in that area...
- also stole mine. - Really?
- The one on the news? - Yes.
He was arrested.
- And? - So...
it was interesting to watch on the news.
(The story is about how interested he was.)
I was wondering if I should talk about this...
when it's not so funny.
I actually asked the staff in the pre-meeting.
No one can always tell the funniest stories.
You can't be funny every day.
- I can talk about what happened. - You're right.
- I can talk about what I ate. - You're right.
(He's taking care of Jun Jin.)
You also watch different shows now...
since you started cooking.
I cook...
about 3 or 4 times a week.
I usually like making dried pollack soup, seaweed soup,
or doenjang jjigae.
So I've been thinking a lot about cooking...
or "Altoran".
Altoran is an amazing ingredient.
You're right.
When I lost...
my bicycle was at the same time...
when I was into cooking.
So I went to the market...
Are you telling this story to save the previous one?
Did you try to connect the two stories?
Was it that obvious?
You saved it.
Also, he meant the show, "Altoran".
- Yes, the show. - Really?
He didn't mean the ingredient.
It's an old show of MBN.
Start watching Korean shows.
Come on.
(Young Mi and Gu RA are attacking Jong Shin.)
Hangzoo, now you have a friend who you can talk about everything.
- I don't drink alcohol. - Yes.
- Do you smoke? - I don't smoke either.
- He's always writing lyrics. - Really?
Men talk about what happened...
- when they're smoking or drinking. - Yes.
Since I don't do either...
Do you at least drink latte instead?
I drink Americano.
- Really? - Yes.
- There are Latte Dads. - Latte Papas.
So you drink coffee.
- I do. - He does.
But I don't usually open my heart to others.
That's why I had a disease in my eyes.
- That's what they told me. - You should relieve stress.
Since I'm always in my room,
and I have a pet dog,
I keep talking to my dog.
It was the only one to talk to.
- What's its name? - Pippen.
- Like Scottie Pippen. - Yes.
I named it because Michael Jordan could not have become the best...
if it weren't for Pippen.
When I was having a hard time,
I went home at dawn after I finish my schedule,
and I always talked to my dog.
And when my eyes got worse,
I wasn't thinking that positively.
I thought, since I'm not going to be able to see,
I should watch Pippen all day.
So I always talked to Pippen.
Except for when I'm sleeping among 24 hours.
- You wanted to watch one more time. - Yes.
So I was talking,
and it started...
doing the same thing as me.
I used to bump into doors when I opened them...
because I couldn't see well on this side.
I was throwing snacks at Pippen,
and it kept...
It used to catch well,
but it seemed difficult on one side.
So I took it to the vet and it got the same diagnosis as me.
- It can't see well either. - Same as you?
I used to talk about...
how hard it was for me,
and I realized that my dog responded to me.
- So I decided to... - Jun Jin, are you crying again?
No.
- I'm not. - Hold it.
What was the name of your eye disease?
- It's uveitis. - Does it make you go blind...
when it gets too worse?
- There's a high chance... - It's possible.
- It's possible. - I could go blind,
and it's incurable.
Is your intraocular pressure high?
It is, but they're trying to bring it down as low as possible.
I got much better now.
I was on "Show Me the Money" and came out with it,
so all the people got to know about it.
Then I was able to talk about it even on TV.
And it kind of relieved me of stress.
- It's better to tell your disease. - Yes.
So that's when I realized my dog actually responds to me.
Choi Za, your house is full of crickets?
Just like that?
- Suddenly? - Do you cook them?
Do you cook with those?
There are fried crickets.
What kind of question is that?
His house is full of crickets?
The season of crickets is in two months.
Crickets are in my house all year round.
- I used to have two cats, - Yes.
and I just brought in a coconut crab.
- There's a blowfish, - Yes.
- two chameleons and a frog. - Right.
Chameleons and frogs actually...
- feed on crickets. - Right. They feed on crickets.
So now I have to raise crickets to raise them.
- Right. - You should feed them.
So I also raise some crickets on the side.
A friend of mine came in drunk, and knocked it over.
So they all ran away.
I'm currently renting the whole building,
and you can hear them all night from the 1st to the 3rd floor.
- And I can't find them. - It must feel...
like you're in a pension.
- You can sleep better. - It got better for the crickets.
They could also work as a boiler in the winter.
(They could also work as a boiler in the winter.)
- Come on now. - Come on, Jong Shin.
I'm just throwing them in.
I was holding that in.
I wanted to say it, but I held myself back.
I also wanted to say it,
but I was afraid I might be killed.
(It's Jong Shin's comedy style of saying what he wants to say.)
Jun Jin, when you were a trainee,
you were Lee Soo Man's favorite.
He used to give me pocket money...
when the practice was over.
I thought all the other members got it...
since the big holiday is coming up.
And it turned out he gave me and another member.
I felt good that he favored me,
so I worked harder.
- And that's why... - Yes.
he said a letter to him during pre-meeting...
when there weren't even cameras around.
- Would you like to show us now? - Please show us.
Mr. Lee Soo Man, thank you for making SHINHWA.
Although I'm not under your agency now,
but I'm trying my best.
I'm working hard to live up to your name.
We can come by next time,
and you can buy us the wine that you like. Thank you.
(I see.)
Couldn't you have made it at least a little bit funny?
I'm actually...
- I thought... - That was too serious.
How are you different from Na Hee?
You could've said something like, "Buy us wine!"
At least you could've said this.
I became sincere...
as I was saying it,
and this show was not in my mind.
I was waiting for something at the end.
(He couldn't believe it ended like that.)
Buy us wine. You should've done this.
I got too serious.
I found it hilarious.
I became too sincere.
I should have said, "Buy us wine!"
Choi Za, you've been friends with Gaeko since you were little.
- Yes. - Was it in middle school?
We met when we were in the same class in grade six.
- I see. - How many years has it been?
It has been about 30 years.
Friends for 30 years?
But you two still compete with each other?
There are times when we have different opinions...
such as when we're choosing the title song.
- Then what do you do? - Then...
when one person insists strongly, we just follow that opinion.
- Just... - Then you wouldn't' fight.
We just follow the opinion, and if it doesn't go well,
the other person says, "I told you so."
If it doesn't go well after you followed an opinion.
But Hangzoo saw...
Choi Za and Gaeko get into a huge fight.
What?
- When did you see? What was it? - To be honest,
I feel like he's acting pretentiously.
Hey. Hey.
- He said he had never cried before. - Yes.
But I saw him fighting and crying on the same day.
- You saw him crying? - You did?
The whole staff and artists at the agency...
went on a trip together.
- He drank, right? - Yes, he did.
We had a drink together.
He suggested going to a karaoke after drinking.
So a few of the staff and artists went to a karaoke.
He and Gaeko sang together, and we all had a lot of fun.
But they disappeared suddenly.
I found them in the corner of the room.
"Hey, you did it. You did it first."
"You shouldn't have done it." They were arguing.
We had never seen them arguing before then.
- I guess something happened. - They were arguing,
so we stopped the song since they seemed so serious.
Then they suddenly looked at us,
and started crying holding each other in their arms.
- What's that? - We were all taken aback.
- Gu Ra wins. - I guess they were pretending.
You never cry like he did.
I'm sure he cried because he was resentful, not because he was sad.
- I think he wasn't resentful. - Right.
- The fact that they had a fight... - Exactly.
- made him a little upset. - Why did you cry, Choi Za?
I'm curious about it too.
I don't remember anything that happened that night.
- I didn't even know that I cried... - You must've been drunk.
until he told me.
I was too drunk.
I guess Gu Ra wins the cold heart competition.
(No one can beat Gu Ra as he never cries.)
Na Hee, did you make your debut on KBS?
- Yes. - When you were on "Gag Concert",
you almost dislocated your shoulder because of your senior comedians.
- You almost dislocated... - My senior comedians played...
pranks on their junior comedians a lot.
They played pranks on us all day long even during a meeting.
And the long day was over.
I was going to go home.
I picked up my bag, but I couldn't lift it up.
(Her bag didn't even budge.)
I checked my bag and found 10 hammers in it.
- They put the hammers in there. - We play pranks like that a lot.
Pranks like that...
It's not easy to get 10 hammers.
- Exactly. - Or we put rocks in their bags.
But I wasn't surprised since it happened so often.
(She stayed calm since it happened often.)
- That's a great effort for a prank. - I just took the hammers out.
And when we had a meeting, we collect our phones...
and taped them all together.
And then only one that came up with an idea could get the phone back.
Everyone started focusing on the meeting.
- That's what comedians would do. - I suggested an idea,
and my senior comedian said, "Okay. You passed."
Then I took my phone out of it.
That's such a good memory.
(He spoils the mood.)
- I had no choice. - He treats her like Jun Jin.
I'm touched.
- Thank you. - It's a very good memory.
It is a good memory.
(Thank you for sharing your good memory.)
It's a good memory.
Na Hee, you used to be a big fan of Jang Yun Jung. Is it true?
- That's right. - That was so funny.
And you came to like her even more when you met her on the show?
I always liked her singing style...
and her songs. I was a big fan of hers.
And I became a bigger fan through "Miss Trot".
When you're on camera,
you try to say nice things and make yourself look good.
But it was when the camera went off.
There were 20 contestants in front of her.
She said, "Guys, you shouldn't do it like this."
- She gave us heartfelt advice. - I see.
"If you really want to win this,"
"you have to make every effort. Find the cameras while singing."
"And pay attention to what we, the mentors, say to you."
It's not interesting, is it?
That's not true.
I was getting immersed in your story. Why did you stop?
- I know the reason now. - We should at least make a noise.
- She acts when she tells a story. - Like tapping on the table.
That's how she makes people focus on her story.
Since she used to do a lot of idea meetings,
she's worried what we might think.
- You don't have to be like that. - Exactly.
I thought you were bored.
- No, we weren't. - We were immersed in your story.
Let's all make a noise.
- Go on. - Do you want to wrap it up?
- Okay. So... - Do you want to wrap it up?
If my teacher was like her, I would have gone to an elite university.
In brief, I fell in love with her because of her sincerity.
(Good job.)
That's good. You did well.
Yes!
- She made me want to dance. - Right.
- Jun Jin said... - That was funny.
that there's a celebrity he wants to meet.
- Who? - Did you meet a lot of them?
My real name is Park Choong Jae.
And for the first time, I found someone with the same name.
- Kim Choong Jae of "I Live Alone". - I see.
- Right. - I was watching TV.
Whenever the cast called his name,
it made me feel like they were calling me.
- He's Kian84's friend. - That's right.
When I was a little child,
I was teased by other kids because of my name.
I wonder if he went through the same experience.
I'd like to talk to him about things like that.
That's what I thought.
I thought of Hwang Choong Jae, the boxer.
Hwang Choong Jae is...
- He's a former boxer. - He was famous for his iron fists.
- He's very famous. - He was a welterweight boxer.
I want to see Hwang Choong Jae when I hear the name "Choong Jae".
Hwang Choong Jae and Choi Choong Il...
- were the most famous. - That's right.
- He was telling his story. - Oh, I'm sorry.
- Go on. Tell us your story. - Jun Jin...
- seems sulky. - The two of them...
are absolutely incompatible when it comes to talking.
- Can I talk now? - They don't jibe with each other.
- So... - Okay.
it was interesting.
- He has the same first name as me. - I understand.
Hwang Choong Jae is the best among all people called Choong Jae.
(Radio Star loves Park Choong Jae.)
Hangzoo's fashion style completely changed after he became popular.
- Pardon me? - That's what I heard.
- Look at his face. - Let's take a look.
These are before and after he became successful.
- He doesn't look so different. - Those were taken...
- when I was on... - I think he was cute.
"Show Me the Money 4"...
and "Show Me the Money 6".
At the time, I got hooked on a fashion style.
It was called American casual style.
It's a style of blue-collar workers from the past.
- I found it fabulous. - It sure is.
I thought no one would dress like I did.
I told myself to get a high rank by any means...
and make that fashion style popular.
But when I saw it after I got eliminated, I looked so pitiful.
It looks like she put a metal stick on her head.
I thought he was at Harajuku.
- Were you at Harajuku? - I wondered what it could be.
I think people in costumes gathered there.
(Are they all in costumes?)
- She has a horn on her head. - No.
- It's not that. Listen. - At Harajuku, Japan...
There are two people here, and this is a street light.
You all sound so stupid.
It's not a horn.
- What are you talking about? - I thought she was Chun-Li.
- Me too. - She's not.
- I thought... - This is her head.
- This is a man's head. - That's right.
And that's a street light.
- Gosh. Seriously. - We were mistaken.
Back then, I wanted to just get rid of...
that photo.
But you look cute.
You look stylish in this one.
He looks like Crush in this photo.
He has a wet hairstyle.
- Back then... - You speak without thinking.
Gosh.
Jun Jin, you're famous for your love for berets, also called "bread hat".
That's right.
(Jun Jin loves berets!)
(He used to wear a beret all the time.)
That's right. He wore a beret very often.
Where are all of your berets go?
There was a rumor that you bought berets at a bakery.
(Find what's not bread.)
- You see... - Gosh.
I wanted to say the same thing, but I was holding back.
- I shouldn't hold back from now on. - In the old days,
my fans bought berets for me as a gift.
I have naturally curly hair.
- So it gets messy so easily. - That's true.
- His old hairstyle like this. - I wore berets to cover my hair.
I received a lot of berets as gifts.
I kept only one of them,
and I donated the rest to an orphanage.
Many TV celebrities still wear berets.
- That's right. - I wore one in my poster.
I heard that it's back.
- Right. The trend is back. - It's popular again.
Back then, when I went to Dongdaemun Market,
they call it "Jun Jin's Bread Hat".
- "Jun Jin's Bread Hat". - I remember that.
There it is.
- That's the one. - Exactly.
Bring me my hat.
(This is the Jun Jin's Bread Hat.)
- Oh, that kind of hat? - Yes.
- It was popular. - That's right.
I wore it on many TV shows too. That's probably how you remember it.
(All right.)
Is that all?
- I'm sad for some reason. - Don't be.
- Don't feel that way. - Right.
- Don't be sad. - Gu Ra is right.
- It ended too quickly. - That's not true.
You talked long enough.
Of course.
- Just keep moving forward. - I am moving forward.
I bet he'll meditate tonight as well.
I'm done.
(Teasing)
(This is a completely MC-centered show.)
- That was good. - Of course.
I'm glad my joke about the bakery made you all laugh.
(This is Radio Star spirit. "If I do well, that's all that matters.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who want to move forward without worrying.
"The Song That Makes You..."
"Move Forward Fearlessly".
Shall we hear the song that Choi Za and Hangzoo chose?
("Friday Night" by Dynamic Duo, the perfect song for a party)
"Friday Night" by Dynamic Duo.
- Hangzoo will sing Gaeko's part. - Hangzoo will.
(Why did they choose Dynamic Duo's song?)
They perform at a wedding very often.
They changed the lyrics of the song and called it "Wedding Night".
I saw them performing it.
The song livened up the mood so much.
My younger sibling is getting married in October.
So I'd like to ask him to sing at the wedding.
I haven't asked him yet.
- To sing with me at the wedding. - That would be wonderful.
- Good. - That's a great idea.
- Will you sing the other version? - Yes.
- We'll sing "Wedding Night". - Okay.
Let's hear Choi Za and Hangzoo singing "Friday Night".
We'll sing "Friday Night" in the wedding song version.
The bride's mother, scream loudly...
as happy as you are for the couple!
(This is how happy I am!)
The groom's mother, scream loudly as happy as you are!
Choi Za and Hangzoo, Hang Za! Let's go.
(It feels like they're going to cause trouble.)
(The bride's mother is excited.)
(The brides' elder brother and her uncles)
(It's your wedding night)
1, 2, 3. Let's go!
(Screaming)
(Unbelievable)
(Their performance is unusual enough to surprise even Young Mi.)
(Hangzoo starts first.)
(What do you need for the wedding night? Energy!)
I'll give you energy
(Is this a wedding or a party?)
(It's "Show Me the Baby".)
(Here comes Choi Za.)
(The man of passion is satisfied too.)
(His sexy low-pitched voice...)
(is heating up the party.)
(As happy as he is for the couple,)
(he raps passionately.)
(I have a good feeling about the wedding night)
- Do it - Do it
(I have a good feeling about the wedding night)
- 1, 2, 3. Let's go! - Do it, do it tonight
(Screaming)
(The excited mother reappears.)
(This is the wedding song flex.)
(He screams like a crow.)
(Laughing)
(It's rare to see a performance like this at a wedding.)
(They performed with passion for a passionate wedding night.)
Let's get it!
Yes!
The two of you surely know...
how to perform a hip hop song.
- That was awesome. - I know.
Do the bride and groom jump and dance with you?
Some couples like it very much.
Some brides are embarrassed while their grooms are excited.
When the wedding is held...
at a cathedral or a church,
- nuns leave during our performance. - I see.
(Dynamic Duo's wedding performance is hot in many ways.)
We had No Going Backwards special today.
When you're young, you worry...
because you don't have enough time and money for things you want to do.
But when you're old, you worry that there's nothing you want to do.
While you have things you want to do,
push forward with your plans...
without worrying about what other people might think.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
(Don't Give Up Special will visit you next week.)
