I'm a comedian with 29 years of experience.
I used to say, "Oh, boy", "Oh, my gosh",
and "Hello" often.
Seeing Young Mi's breast dance getting popular these days...
makes me say, "Oh, my god."
I'm a singer with 30 years of experience.
- Already? - I debuted in 1990.
You...
- You... - What?
I was working when you were a baby.
You don't call a 21-year-old a baby.
(Cute)
I'm a singer with 30 years of experience.
I used to sing...
classy ballad songs only, but these days...
I will cut you off
After the Wi-Fi method,
I'm trying the AI method these days.
Please listen...
to the July and August issue of "Monthly Project Yoon Jong Shin"
You're one hard-working man.
I have now 27 years of experience.
When I was a newbie, I was just sitting in the corner.
But now, there's even a song named "Gu Ra".
(Y Goon)
Hey.
(He even appeared on "Show! Music Core".)
Hey, people might think...
I made you do this.
(He left after bombarding him with unpleasant comments.)
I'm providing Y Goon...
and Kim Geu Ra...
with my name.
I'm a comedienne with 16 years of experience.
I used to say, "You should be honored, you witches."
and "This is annoying like an interview."
I had to say my catchphrases...
to entertain people,
but now, I don't have to say anything.
(I'm Ahn Young Mi.)
- Enough. - Korea's breasts.
I'm Korea's breasts.
- "Korea's breasts". - That's right.
Please laugh out loud.
That's right. With all the jokes and self-praise,
we may look just childish on television,
but together, we have over 100 years experience.
You're watching an experienced and high-end music program,
- Radio Star. - Radio Star.
Today, we have four veterans as our guests...
to whom a couple decades of experience is laughable.
"Special Treatment to the Experienced".
This man has led Korean film industry in the 90s.
Every movie he stars in is guaranteed a success.
He's a great actor with 34 years of experience,
but since he debuted as a director,
he's smelling like Lee Gyeong Gyu.
Still, he's the big name of Korean film industry.
Park Joong Hoon.
He has...
almost 40 years of experience.
- He's amazing. - He debuted through "Ggambo".
- "Ggambo", the movie. - "Ggambo".
- It's from 1986. - "Ggambo".
He has finally come.
You can't fail to mention him when you talk about Korean basketball.
He's Michael Jordan of Korea.
But now, he's a soccer novice in a variety show...
and make us laugh.
I had no idea he'd be so bad at soccer.
(His soccer skills are beyond imagination.)
I thought athletes were good at all sports.
He's only good with hands.
The President of basketball, Hur Jae!
(The President of basketball, Hur Jae)
Welcome.
Starring in "School"...
and "Whispering Corridors" series, she was on a roll...
until she suddenly disappeared.
Then she came back as an actress who can dance better than dancers.
Although she has a baby face,
she actually has debuted 22 years ago.
Kim Gyu Ri.
(A veteran actress, Kim Gyu Ri)
He used to yell, "You fell for me"...
and play with us like crazy.
- The pioneer of punk in Joseon. - "The pioneer of punk in Joseon?"
It's been 23 years since he debuted,
but what he hears the most is...
"You're Crying Nut, right?"
(No Brain)
- He's Lee Sung Woo of No Brain! - Lee Sung Woo.
Welcome.
- Hello. - Welcome.
They all have over 20 or 30 years of experience.
Hello.
Young Mi is the least experienced here.
I have 16 years of experience and I'm the least experienced here.
They all have more than 20 years of experience.
All right. Welcome, everyone.
Joong Hoon, you announced you would stop drinking?
- This year... - You quit drinking?
I announced I would not drink this year,
but I gave up after five months.
Still, I managed to keep my word for five months.
Why did you fail?
I went on a trip...
with my family.
I had to drink there.
That's a simple reason.
By the way,
I really liked the story you have told earlier.
Could you tell us the story...
about Park Sang Min?
It's a fun story. Please tell us again.
- Well... - That's a really fun story.
- It's really funny. - What is it?
It's about Park Sang Min,
- the actor. - This one is really funny.
I guarantee it.
- Sang Min... - He's the worst show host.
It's really funny.
He loves to drink. He seems to drink less these days though.
Park Sang Min from "General's Son".
We used to shoot a movie called "Gangster Lessons"...
and we went to drink after every shoot.
After drinking with him every day for three months,
I realized I was getting addicted to it.
It's about 20 and something years ago.
I felt like I was going crazy when I wasn't drinking.
I had to struggle so much to fight back my urge to drink.
I remember that happened.
Are you sure this is a funny story?
- He missed out something. - What is this?
There's something in the middle...
that he didn't say.
- What is this? - This is disappointing.
Are you trying to put me in trouble or what?
After all I said about how funny it is?
- Why are you doing this to me? - Hey.
- What story is it? - Why are you doing this to me?
Actually, when you asked me to talk about it,
I wondered why you would ask because it's not funny at all.
- He... - I wondered why.
He's been a host for such a long time,
but he doesn't know how much pressure he gives by doing that.
- "This story is really funny." - Let me explain.
It's a funny story because...
He just wants to entertain himself.
He used to drink with Sang Min.
- But then... - My first baby was born.
- Right. So... - During the movie shoot.
he couldn't meet Sang Min for a while...
and one day, he found himself shivering in cold.
He realized...
it's because he didn't drink.
What's so funny about it?
Why did you make it sound so not funny?
- Seriously. - What is that?
- Gu Ra. - It cracked me up back then.
- Gu Ra. - Yes.
I was very serious when I said that to you.
How could you laugh about my problem?
- He finds others' trouble fun. - I didn't know he'd find it so fun.
He loves it when others have panic disorders.
(He love is when others have panic disorders.)
Anyway, you announced that you would quit drinking,
but you told us on the phone you'd show up on our show while drunk?
Hur Jae is my friend. We went...
to the same high school and the same college.
- Yongsan High School. - Yongsan High School.
- Yongsan High School. - He drinks a lot too.
While drinking with him,
he told me he was invited to the show with me.
So I told him I would...
and he told me to call the writer right away.
So I made a call.
And I slurred, "I will do it."
When you were drunk.
- When I was having dinner with him, - Yes.
the writer called me.
I told Joong Hoon...
that we have never appeared on a TV show together.
- You haven't before. - Right. Since we haven't,
I asked him if he'd like to.
Then Joong Hoon said...
he'd like to.
- He accepted it. - He said he'd like to.
As you said, his voice was changed already.
That's how he ended up slurring, "I will do it."
The president of Joong Hoon's agency...
called me right away.
"Joong Hoon will be on Radio Star. Would you like to grab a drink?"
So we made an appointment.
We're going to have a drink after this today.
Right. I heard that you have a gathering later.
We're very worried.
A week before the shoot, I got a phone call from the crews.
I asked if there would be a change of the schedule,
but they said we're having a gathering next week.
They usually don't give us notice about having a gathering.
Radio Star crews don't have gatherings often.
They said we're having a gathering with Joong Hoon and Jae.
So I asked, "What kind of guest requests for a gathering?"
- Today... - It's really strange.
It's on me.
(It's on me!)
It's to celebrate my friend's time in a variety show.
(It was a fierce get-together.)
One time, I drank with Jae.
He drank all night long.
About 25 years ago, Jae and I drank...
until morning.
I crawled home afterward...
and barely managed...
to turn on TV. He was on "Basketball Festival".
He scored 40 points.
- You don't know the story. - Jeong Sang Hun.
- You don't know the famous story. - Jeong Sang Hun and Sun Dong Yol.
Dong Yol and Jae met in Gwangju.
Both of them had a game the next day,
but they drank until the morning.
He scored 40 points...
and Dong Yol had a shutout victory.
(Lively)
Jae, when "Gather and Kick" aired,
a lot of people around you...
became worried.
When I joined the show,
I didn't tell people about it.
The first episode aired...
and my name got on the trending searches.
Everyone called me in the morning and asked me...
if I was in trouble.
- That's usually the case. - That's right.
He was in trouble quite often in the past.
- You know, - Basketball players...
he was the best basketball player in his era.
How are you so bad at soccer?
- How is that possible? - You know...
- How is that possible? - Seriously.
- I was really surprised. - Let him explain.
After I retired about 15 years ago,
I didn't exercise a single day.
- You didn't exercise for 15 years. - So...
when Jung Hwan told me to warm up,
I moved like an utter fool.
My body was unbalanced.
Since I didn't have enough muscles,
- I sustained many injuries. - That's right.
Here is what I am saying.
I get that you lost your muscles,
but you are born with athletic skills.
It looked as if you have no athletic skills whatsoever.
- But I... - I have athletic skills!
- Listen. - My body isn't ready!
But...
Jae, you almost cried after "Gather and Kick" aired.
- You know, - That's cute.
it was...
(Is he becoming emotional?)
I couldn't believe my lack of athletic skills.
Seriously.
It was your first time to see yourself play soccer on TV.
- That's right. - It was your first time.
(Jae tries out being a goalkeeper.)
- Give it to me! - He passed the ball.
(Grabbing)
(He shouldn't grab the ball.)
(He doesn't understand soccer.)
(Flailing)
(Dazed)
I grabbed the ball...
and did all sorts of strange things.
When I woke up in the morning, no one was home.
I felt like everyone was watching me...
even though I was in my room.
(Jae was embarrassed.)
I was so embarrassed that I broke out in a cold sweat.
I couldn't believe myself.
I was so embarrassed.
What did your sons and wife say?
My two sons...
(His sons are Hur Ung and Hur Hun.)
- They think it's good for me. - It's a nice opportunity.
I drink less.
- You drink less. - Yes.
My sons said, "Dad, your pallor improved."
"You should go..."
"and be comfortable on the show."
They think it would be good...
- for him. - "Be comfortable after retirement."
I am sure you drink after the shoot.
- Every member likes to drink. - I am sure you drink.
Everyone is busy.
- I see. - That's not true.
They probably ran away since Jae drinks for a long time.
- I see. - It's not like that.
They disperse after the shoot...
because they are very busy.
You should look into that.
(Embarrassed)
Gyu Ri, you began to get the Monday blues.
Yes. I host a radio program in the morning these days.
I am not the type to talk a lot.
During the weekend, I don't say a single word at home.
- That's right. - Then I wake up on Monday...
and host a radio program from 9am to 10am.
Being forced to talk that way...
made me get the Monday blues.
- It's harder in the morning. - Sometimes,
when people who don't talk much open their mouths,
you hear the pop sound.
- You hear the pop sound? - I knew you would be absurd.
(Why would you hear the pop sound?)
People don't keep their mouths closed for that long.
The only problem Jong Shin has is that...
he lies.
He doesn't care because he will leave.
- When you hear the pop sound, - He doesn't care.
you know that person hasn't spoken in a long time.
I can't believe you reached this level of ridiculousness.
- It's understandable. - Their lips get glued together.
As for me,
I forgot how to express myself...
because I haven't talked in a long time.
But I have no choice but to talk.
- Your radio program airs live. - That's why...
I pushed myself to talk.
I feel like I am still learning how to talk.
Which broadcasting station is it?
- TBS. - TBS.
It airs...
- after "Kim Eo Jun's News Factory". - You are very talkative.
(She becomes talkative.)
It's good to be on TV after a long hiatus!
She is like that because it's the afternoon.
- Is that it? - Yes.
- Had it been the morning... - I warmed up in the morning.
- I see. - She didn't talk much in the past.
She just sat quietly.
- That's right. - Sung Woo, you said...
starring in Radio Star was a monumental event for No Brain.
You visited the show before with your bandmates.
- To celebrate... - That's right.
- No Brain's 20th anniversary, - You visited the show before.
my bandmates and I picked...
some monumental events the band had.
Starring in Radio Star was one of them.
- It was years ago. - Yes.
(In 2010, No Brain visited the show.)
(What is up with your eyebrows?)
(Lee Sung Woo, Vocalist of No Brain)
Your eyebrows look funny.
(Gu Ra suddenly criticized Sung Woo's eyebrows.)
My goodness.
I remember that. It was a funny episode.
I guess starring in "Radio Star", the movie,
wasn't a monumental event for you.
I am going to talk about that later.
(Joong Hoon almost became upset.)
He is going to talk about it later.
He starred in the two "Radio Star".
- He starred in the movie, too. - Yes.
Sung Woo, you said Joong Hoon betrayed you...
one time.
When Joong Hoon is drunk,
this is how his facial expression becomes.
"Sung Woo."
"You and I are brothers from now on."
He said that.
"Sung Woo, 'Rain and You' is..."
"a song of the brothers."
"From now on, I will only sing that song..."
"with No Brain."
Then I saw him on "Open Concert".
(Now)
He sang passionately...
- in various shows. - I heard him sing that show.
Let me tell you how I starred in "Open Concert".
- Did you perform alone? - Yes, I did.
- Why did you do that? - Listen.
When I was in "Radio Star", the radio program,
I visited a small chicken restaurant...
near the broadcasting station after the show.
That song came on and I sang along because I was drunk.
When I did that, the person who was next to me said,
"Please visit 'Open Concert'."
The producer and writer of "Open Concert" were next to me.
They recruited you when you were drunk.
I was like, "All right, all right."
That's how I performed on the show.
He once stabbed you in the back in a drunken state.
Yes. My bandmates and I were drinking wine.
Since we were by ourselves,
we were drinking 20 to 30-dollar wine.
He called me and went, "Sung Woo, where are you?"
"I am drinking with my bandmates."
"I am coming over." He came...
and set up the mood.
He did this to strangers.
He did that.
That's because he lived in Hollywood.
Seriously. He is used to doing that at a bar.
He talked about that.
Once he came,
he ordered 50 to 60-dollar wine.
He ordered expensive wine.
He set up the mood and went,
"Sung Woo, I will pick up the tab today."
Then he began to sway and went home.
You didn't plan on ordering 50 to 60-dollar wine.
- That's right. - My goodness.
- You shouldn't do that to them. - Why did you do that?
- Seriously. - Why did you do that to Sung Woo?
He got into a taxi and left.
I got stabbed in the back.
- I... - Seriously.
- I... - He didn't even remember.
- That's the worst. - To be honest...
We shouldn't have a get-together today.
Seriously.
- Seriously. - I don't think it's a good idea.
I won't go to the get-together today.
- You won't go. - No.
(He doesn't want to get backstabbed twice.)
I was in the wrong, but I would like to add something.
When No Brain has a concert, I sing for free.
I saw that.
- I saw that. - I don't get paid.
I do it for free.
Because of that, he thought...
it would be okay to backstab Sung Woo.
He thought that.
(Be careful not to get backstabbed.)
Jae, you said you have never seen...
Joong Hoon pick up the tab.
(Joong Hoon becomes speechless.)
My goodness.
- It must be a habit. - Sung Woo said...
- Joong Hoon does this... - Let's listen.
(This is one drunken habit.)
when he is drunk. There is another one.
He sniffles.
You are right. I know that.
- So... - He sniffles.
I know that.
Back in the days,
I was more well-off than he was.
I picked up the tab a few times,
so he now thinks, "I am sure Jae will pay."
I see.
I want to die.
Joong Hoon is pretty well-off.
Seriously.
- We were in our 20s, right? - That's right.
When we were in our 20s, our financial situations were...
entirely different.
- Jae made more money. - You made...
a lot of money.
I didn't get to save up money...
because I paid for your drinks.
That money disappeared.
- Jae... - That money disappeared.
can't keep money in his pocket because it's too heavy.
He used a lot of money when he was young.
Joong Hoon, you and Jae went...
to the same high school and university.
I didn't get into the university right away.
We aren't in the same class.
Why would you brag about that?
You said Jae was the number two...
back in high school.
People from our generation would know that...
Jae was a star from high school.
- That's right. - Even among the students,
he was more of a star than a friend.
- That's right. - I said he was the number two.
If I may exaggerate a bit,
he came second to the principal.
(The number two smiles.)
- I thought you were the number one. - Me too.
- Seriously. - Joong Hoon wouldn't say that.
I was nothing.
I thought he would say Jae came second to him.
Joong Hoon wouldn't say that.
How could you not know that?
He's spoiling the mood.
(He's spoiling the mood.)
Gu Ra, I haven't been here for a while, and this is how feel.
- You ruin the mood a lot. - He's the worst.
- I'm doing the heavy lifting. - Your teamwork...
- I'm doing all the hard work. - He's the worst.
- I think you've lost your touch. - I'm doing this all alone.
- He was after the principal? - Next in line after the principal.
Let me explain this.
We almost deified him at school.
Since we're on the subject, as for Yongsan High School,
all the graduates love the school.
The alumni...
are proud to have graduated from Yongsan High School.
- I have a lot of friends... - We're very proud of our school.
who graduated from that high school.
The CEO of my company graduated from there.
- There are a lot of people. - But...
Aren't they all proud of their school?
Yes, everyone talks about their high school.
They were all very proud of their school.
- Can't you look more excited? - It's not that.
- How? I know nothing about it. - I mean, you could...
- He graduated from Jemulpo. - I went to Jemulpo High School.
Wasn't there Sudo High School near your school?
- It was right next to ours. - Right next to his.
Until when will we talk about his school?
- I had a group date with them. - Is the special about schools?
- Come on. - This is hilarious.
Which school did you graduate from?
Uijeongbu Technical High School.
Okay. Let's not discuss this matter further.
Why are we talking about schools here?
We talked about this for too long.
No one in this entertainment industry graduated from my school.
Then, what did you major in?
I majored in Physical Education at college.
You didn't go to law school or anything, right?
- Most athletes choose Physical Ed. - I could've chosen law school.
Even if I did go to law school, it would've been pointless.
I thought that I should at least major in Physical Education...
and have a certificate to teach as a physical education teacher.
If you chose to major in Theater, you would've been his senior.
- Right. - Right.
Actually, I thought about majoring in Theater.
- Really? - That must've been fun.
- He would've been your senior. - Listen.
- This is my first time sharing it. - Okay.
When I graduated from high school,
my teacher asked me I wanted to major in.
I asked if I could major in Theater.
- I told that to Mr. Jung Bong Seop. - Okay.
- He said we should talk. - Mr. Jung Bong Seop...
(You, come see me.)
After the talk, I'd become a totally different person.
- He said you were clueless. - Right.
But Hur Jae said...
he couldn't stop sighing whenever he saw Joong Hoon at school.
- That's not true. - He sighed.
When I was a high school senior,
universities tried to scout me for their schools.
For me, I already knew which college I was going to go.
- But he had to take the test. - Right.
But he kept playing the guitar.
(Instead of studying)
He'd be just chatting away with his friends.
(He was chatty even then.)
There's a saying that old people often recite.
"You punk, how will you have a job later?"
(An appropriate line all of a sudden)
- Old people say that. - Right, they do say that.
How could you call me punk, you punk?
- I didn't call him punk though. - You guys are friends.
- We're on TV. - They are real friends.
- I'd say that... - They're friends.
- to Joong Hoon. - Right. I can understand it.
Afterward, I entered Chung-Ang University first.
The year after that, Joong Hoon entered Chung-Ang University.
Shortly after that, he debuted in "Ggambo".
- "Ggambo", the movie. - That was a fun movie.
- Kim Hye Soo was in the movie too. - That's right.
After that, his career took off.
"Springtime Of Mimi and Cheol Su", too.
- In high school... - He was popular for 10 years.
In high school, I set a goal for myself.
So I decided not to study.
- It all worked out as planned. - It was just as I planned.
But do you know how hard it is to accomplish that?
I wanted to study, but I didn't. I played the guitar instead.
- It was all about my mentality. - You sure worked hard.
(It was hard to pretend to be a procrastinating student.)
I've said this a few times on TV.
- Right. - I spent about...
- five days with Joong Hoon. - That's right.
I said this as a joke.
When I was filming the show with him, my panic disorder...
started.
- Here's why. - When you were talking to him?
It's not that. We filmed the show...
from 8pm in the morning to 11pm.
After we finish at 11pm,
I'd go out to drink with him, Jang Hoon, and Min Jong.
Get this. Jang Hoon talks a lot. He talks a lot.
He'd play the guitar and sing.
I had to sleep, but I couldn't.
I couldn't sleep until 4am every day we filmed the show together.
- We stayed together for five days. - That's when it started.
- I was so sleep-deprived. - You had to shovel out the dung.
I was about to lose it. I'm serious.
I had no idea that you were quiet until we met for that show.
Gu Ra doesn't talk off camera.
- Right. I figured that out. - He doesn't talk unless he's paid.
(Too much talking is harmful to Gu Ra.)
This is called the "NYJS" segment.
- We have a report today too? - Right.
- Yes, we do. - We have it every week.
A lot of people were so close to grabbing him by his collar.
- Right. - So...
Gyu Ri said this...
after seeing Jong Shin. "How is he a host?"
You questioned his talent...
- as a host. - We never worked together.
When was this?
- It was at a restaurant. - Restaurant?
Yes. I went there with Jeong Jae Seung.
- Right. - I went to the soft opening.
- Right. You were there too. - Yes, I was.
He eats a lot at soft openings.
- He bought us a lot of food. - It was my restaurant.
Is that so?
He bought us a lot of food.
Since he hosts a lot of shows,
I must have assumed that he'd listen to other people.
That's the image I thought of.
- But he only talked about himself. - About himself?
- He talks a lot. He's so chatty. - He doesn't listen to others.
- I couldn't get a word in. - That's why he has no friends.
There were so many people around our table at first.
- But we couldn't say anything. - Exactly.
- He was the only one talking there. - He showed off his talking skill.
I wanted them to listen to me. They all had a doctorate.
They were doctors, but I wanted them to listen to my story.
- So... - "Listen to my story."
So this is what I thought.
"Jong Shin must be lonely these days."
- Right. - I did talk a lot that day.
(But his mouth has so much to say.)
Sung Woo, throughout the preliminary interview,
you said that Gu Ra was...
- a warmhearted person. - It's time to talk about me.
- You said that you shared... - Time to talk about my kind sides.
kind words from Gu Ra with the staff. Is this true?
- Of course. - Gu Ra...
might seem standoffish from the outside.
At first, I do think he keeps his distance from people.
But when I call him up, he wants to get together.
- That's right. - He wants to meet up.
Actually, he did buy us meals.
- It was in Hongdae. - Right.
But I think Gu Ra was able to open up to us because...
Back then, Gu Ra was going through a rough patch.
- It was hard times for him. - Yes.
We were on "Immortal Songs".
- That's right. Yes! - Right.
- It was toward the end. - Yes.
There's a song named "My Dear Friend".
(When he called out his friend, it gave courage to his friend.)
As we sang the song, we named all of the singers...
and people on the show.
When we were on the stage, we couldn't name Gu Ra.
So I said, "The friend I miss!"
(Gu Ra)
(Don't lose courage, my friends.)
- I see. - After I finished singing the song,
Gu Ra sent me a message.
He wrote, "Hey, this was the best performance of the year."
Because you sang about him.
That was why.
- There's a song. "Gu Ra Brother". - He sure does love himself.
There's a song called "Gu Ra Brother", so listen to it.
- He loves talking about himself. - Right.
- There's a song. "Gu Ra Brother". - He won't interrupt you.
By the way, you bought me a meal too.
I don't talk about stuff like that.
I didn't bring that up. He did.
- Goodness. I didn't bring it up. - I...
(The story wraps up on a good note.)
- Joong Hoon. - Yes.
During the preliminary interview,
you had a big smile on whenever you heard Young Mi's name.
Young Mi, haven't we talked on the phone before?
It wasn't a call. I sent you a text message...
- before. - Right.
I was in "Saturday Night Live Korea".
You told me the chief producer that you were a fan of me.
So I got your number and sent you a text message to thank you.
Did I send you a reply?
- It wasn't a call. It was a text? - No.
But you didn't respond to my message.
- No, I... - That's why I asked.
- No, no. - Did you send to a wrong number?
I checked the number so many times with the chief producer.
- Seriously. Think about this. - I sent you a text message.
I told him to tell you that...
- I was your fan. - It's weird not to respond.
If I got a long message from you, why wouldn't I send you a reply?
That's why I saw you differently.
Whenever I saw you on TV, I said, "Joong Hoon is not nice man."
Clear up the misunderstanding.
I thought that he was two-faced.
- Clear it up with him. - I'm good now.
Gosh, I can enjoy the after-work get-together now.
(The misunderstanding clears up.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with four experts who made a mark as an actor,
an actress, a basketball player, and a musician.
We'll start "Special Treatment to the Experienced" now.
It's been 34 years...
- since Joong Hoon debuted. - It's been 34 years.
You're a veteran actor who's done the post-sync...
- That's right. - and real-time recording.
My first filming was on November 11, in 1985.
- "Ggambo". - November 11.
The first three movies I was in...
did the post-sync recording.
The first project I was ever on with the real-time recording was...
"Chil Su and Man Su".
- "Chil Su and Man Su". - "Chil Su and Man Su".
Back in the days, they didn't let new actors and actresses...
- do the post-sync recording. - I see.
because things were done manually then.
They'd run the film...
and they had to record everything without a mistake at once.
- No one could make mistakes. - I see.
New actors would get the lines wrong when their acting was good.
And when they had the lines right, their acting wouldn't be good.
The voice actors used to record...
- for actors. That was the system. - Right.
Back then...
Well, it was like that.
- Gosh. Yes, that's true. - Right.
- He told the story very calmly. - The thing is...
You told the story just the way it happened like a veteran actor.
- Right. - That's quite meaningful.
- When they started recording... - He didn't add any extra parts.
- real time, many actors were gone. - Right.
It was because they couldn't act with their voice.
They couldn't act anymore.
But when the real-time recording was implemented,
there was a problem...
- with the devices and techniques. - It wasn't established yet.
If I whispered, they couldn't record it.
- So you had to be loud? - Everyone had to talk loudly.
You had to exaggerate your performance a bit.
Normally, I would say, "Hello, Gu Ra."
"Hello, Gu Ra." I had to talk like this for them to record me.
- Like for plays in theaters. - Yes.
So when you look at my movies in my 90s,
- my acting seems a bit exaggerated. - I see.
It's because of the recording.
(Talking loudly)
In the 2000s,
my acting had to be very natural.
- So the scenes looked natural. - The variety shows are the same.
There are a lot of cameras here.
- That's true. - Back in the days,
Jong Shin's lines wouldn't be recorded. They didn't do it...
- because his lines were useless. - Right.
They would just film him with a supporting camera.
- There would be only a shot of him. - His dialogue won't be in the shot.
Hey, I was on TV when you were a toddler.
- I started when you were teething. - What?
But you try not to talk about this on the set these das.
- Right. - How the recording system worked.
So this is something I talk about with Ahn Sung Ki, sometimes.
"Things have gotten easier for the junior actors now."
When I say that,
this is what he tells me. "Hey, don't talk about that."
"Don't even bring it up." They'll do their job in their own way.
- Mr. Ahn catches on fast. - Yes.
"If we bring that up,"
"the junior actors will feel uncomfortable."
- "So don't bring that up." - Seriously.
When I hear...
a story like this on the set, it really makes me happy.
Like old stories. Stories about how things used to run.
- And how things have changed. - It's because you're old.
Is that so?
It's because you're old too.
Anyway,
he started playing basketball in 1975.
- You started in 1975? - Yes.
That means you must've started when you were 10 or 11.
I was in fourth grade back then.
Has it been 44 years?
After you started playing basketball,
you have set a lot of records.
Which makes you the happiest?
First of all, tell us some records you were the first one to set.
- The player with the most points. - The most points.
Well, I started...
playing basketball when I was in fourth grade.
I almost always won.
Just like Joong Hoon said earlier,
- I almost always won the games. - Your team did.
I have a lot of memorable games I played.
Back then, my team advanced all the way to the seventh ground.
It was a close game, but we lost. We were in second place.
I was chosen as the MVP although my team lost the finals.
I see. You were the first.
- That is the most memorable. - When your team has lost?
- The first MVP from a losing team. - Right. From the losing team.
- He was the first MVP for that. - That's right.
Actually,
a lot of people think that basketball fan clubs started...
with Lee Sang Min's club.
- But in 1984, - Right.
I was the first player to have a fan club.
- You wanted to tell us about that. - Hur Jae's club was first.
- Yours was the 1st. - Hur Jae's club was the 1st.
- It wasn't Lee Sang Min's. - You had the fangirls first.
- You had the fangirls first. - I see.
- The fangirls, I see. - I set it up, so I could say this.
- You were the first to have them. - You came a long way for that.
My fan club was the 1st one to form in 1984.
- You had a fan club first. - He's adorable.
I think people are misinformed.
- "Misinformed"? He said it bluntly. - Everyone assumes it started...
with Sang Min or Woo Ji Won because they were handsome.
People assume that their fan clubs started first.
But I was the first one to have a fan club.
- It started in 1984. - The 1st one to have a fan club.
By the way, you said when you met with Ji Won and Sang Min,
you met Kang Dong Hee and Seo Jang Hoon separately.
Please elaborate.
I bet it's about their looks. Isn't it about the looks?
He's spot on.
- It's obvious. It's so clear. - Right.
- You'd meet them separately? - Since you don't fit with them,
- you would meet them separately. - Let me explain.
Back then, Ji Won and Sang Min...
- were handsome athletes. - They were handsome.
- They were stylish. - Yes, they were good-looking.
And the latter group was all about their athletic skills.
- Given their looks. - Right.
Everyone would just know they were athletes just by looking at them.
Then, where do you think you're placed among them?
Do you think you're better-looking than Jang Hoon?
I'm sure I'm better-looking than Jang Hoon.
He might be a better talker than me,
- but I'm better-looking. - Of course.
(Jang Hoon's looks are blooming nowadays.)
Gyu Ri, you're a veteran actress who debuted 22 years ago.
You said that you had too much passion...
- when you first started out. - That's right.
I only had one thing in mind.
I wanted to be a great actress.
Usually, new actors and actresses...
are in charge of the first day and the last day of the filming.
But if my filming ends around 3am or 4am,
I'd start the next day...
- at 6am or 7am. - You'd sleep for 2 hours.
I would get to sleep...
only for 1 hour and a half... or 2 hours at max.
And on top of that, in the morning,
- my face gets puffy. - I see. Right.
So...
I would be torn on my way home.
"I'm the first one to film tomorrow. Should I sleep or not?"
"But my face would get puffy."
- I didn't sleep before going back. - You didn't sleep.
When I tried my best while not getting much sleep for two years,
that lifestyle destroyed my health a lot,
so I don't do that anymore.
But you look much healthier now.
- Now, I'm at ease. - Right.
This is about Gyu Ri's acting.
You said that the more you act, the more you avoid ice.
That's about acting in cold weather.
When we say our lines,
- viewers can see our breath. - We can see your breath.
Right. To avoid that,
- we put ice cubes in our mouth. - That's true.
Here's what you do. You'd have the ice cubes in your mouth.
When the director tells you to get ready, you spit it out.
- And you do your scene. - Then, you deliver your lines.
- And this would happen. - I can't pronounce the lines well.
Is there another way?
- This is the 21st century. - Nowadays,
- we have CG. - Right. We have CG.
- Is that the only way? - No.
Without the CG? I'll look into it.
(I'll look into it.)
You know the white-out? The thing you use to erase pen marks with?
There was a band named The Monkees.
One of the band members invented the white-out.
- The Monkees? Why? - That was the band.
Why did he invent that?
Why do you think? Probably, he needed it.
- I misunderstood. I didn't know. - It was The Monkees.
It would've been great if you knew why he invented it.
- I just know he invented it. - You don't know that far.
I hope the movie industry can solve that problem.
(Stop asking me questions.)
No Brain is the first-generation independent band too.
- It's already been 23 years. - He's been here for long too.
You said that there's something...
that you would never give up on when you perform on stage.
As for hip hop artists,
- they have their own swag. - Swag.
They wear gold necklaces and such.
As for me,
- I wear this even if it's hot. - The leather jacket.
- The leather jacket. - Yes, it's this.
Even if I'm drenched in sweat, I wear this.
Even if I have to take it off after two songs, I wear it.
- The rings... - Hey, your hair...
I think you're losing a lot of your hair in the front.
No, that's not true. Gu Ra, I still have a lot of hair.
- I have a lot even when I dye it. - Really?
- Will you lose your hair later? - Like the vocalist in Judas Priest.
The empty spot in your forehead seems to have gotten bigger.
- No, I'm okay for now. - Not yet?
(He can't give up on his leather jacket and his hair.)
And you've tortured your band members with your passion on stage.
I jump on stage when I'm singing. And when I perform,
there's an active bowel movement.
- Sometimes, I fart on stage. - A lot of singers do that.
Actually, this happens often.
- That happens a lot on stage. - Really?
- I'd be screaming. - Right.
And when I'm performing on stage, all of a sudden,
the guitarist would scowl at me while playing like this.
You would fart really quietly.
- Right. It'd be a quiet one. - And you'd be so relaxed.
Young Mi, you love stories about farts.
- This is crazy. - I didn't expect that from you.
Goodness.
- A lot of people far on stage. - "Boom, boom, boom."
(Hold tight, sphincter muscles.)
Joong Hoon, over the 34 years of your acting career,
you've only been in two dramas?
It was "The Faraway Ssongba River" which came up earlier.
- And "Bad Guys" was another. - It was on OCN.
- I see. You were in that drama. - I only worked on two dramas.
But when I was acting in the dramas, I noticed that...
- there were a lot of lines. - There were a lot.
- And you film a lot on one day. - Right.
As for movies, we film a 2-hour long movie over 3 months.
- Right. - As for dramas,
we have to film two hours' worth of videos in a week.
- So there were a lot of lines. - Right.
But later on,
I started to develop some kind of a disorder.
When I told the cast about my problem,
- Joo Jin Mo... - Okay.
treated my problem as nothing.
- "Hey, that's the baseline." - That's right.
"Do you just want to make easy money or what?"
"Joong Hoon, you must memorize lines for dramas."
(A brutal enlightenment in 34 years)
I was shocked.
- That's true. - We call that "running".
We keep waiting for the script while not knowing when we'll get it.
And we'd get a script.
And one of the cast would end up with the most lines.
- There are a lot of lines. - There are a lot of lines.
We would be memorizing the lines on the spot.
And the staff would be setting up the lights.
Once they are done,
whoever memorized 1st would film 1st.
And I would be trying to memorize lines.
I would be memorizing it while running lines with them.
You must have thought Joong Hoon's problem...
was nothing when he brought it up.
No, no.
- No, I didn't. - Everyone had to do the same.
- He only worked on movies. - Right.
Joong Hoon, you think you've reached a limit with action scenes.
It was when I was on "Bad Guys".
I couldn't say it because I was embarrassed.
There's a scene where I had to run at full speed at Incheon Harbor.
I ran for about 100m.
And I came back home.
Afterward, I couldn't walk because my knees hurt.
When I went to the hospital, I found out my cartilages were torn.
- Really? - In both knees.
You're not the same guy from "Nowhere to Hide".
It had been 20 years since I filmed that movie.
- I was like a bird in that movie. - Exactly.
I get why you were awful at soccer in "Gather and Kick".
- I told you about that earlier. - Exactly.
- Right. - You ran quite a lot.
I can't even run for 50m.
(The oldies should have a field and track match.)
Jae, when you were going through intense training,
you said you practiced a special dribbling skill.
If I were to give an example,
- I was training my skill. - Okay.
It was a technique to handle the ball.
The tool looked like glasses.
The glasses were facing down like this.
So I couldn't see below my legs.
- So you were covering the bottom? - He covered the bottom part?
Just like how race horses wear glasses.
- Like this? - That's right.
I was able to learn such techniques...
way faster than the other players.
- So anyway... - I would do it with that tool.
- Show us your special dribble. - Right, right.
I'm sure he's better at this than at soccer.
(His history of basketball career is the history of Korean basketball.)
(He won the championships 7 times.)
(He's the only MVP from a second-placed team in KBL.)
(A lot of years might have passed, but his body remembers...)
(the intense training when he was the President of Basketball.)
In hindsight, his posture was different.
Back in the days,
I wouldn't say that I covered my eyes.
I practiced my skills without looking at the ball like this.
(I see. Well... What?)
- So... - What is that?
So right now...
What are you doing?
I don't think he can hold the ball.
- He went like this. What was that? - Listen. No.
- What was that? - Hear me out.
With this exercise, I can strength my grip.
You're working on your grip.
(It might look sloppy, but it's advanced training.)
- It's not what I had expected. - It doesn't look that hard.
You try it, then.
- But that's... - Why don't you try it?
- You should try it. - That looks pretty easy.
I saw that a lot in "Slam Dunk".
(Out of breath)
- So this is one of them. - Do it properly, please.
- This is how you do it. - Please do it right, Jae.
- My goodness. - He's even awful at basketball.
- You can watch the screen. - Right.
Back and forth.
(The way he moves his hands makes him look pitiful.)
- He's even awful at basketball. - My gosh. I can't believe this.
Back then,
other players...
You're sneaking back to your seat.
- What's your deal with me? - I mean...
- That's all he can show us. - I mean...
This is all you did.
So what?
What did you just do?
That's all you just did.
- No, look at it again. - Do it again.
- One. - Okay.
2, 3, 4.
- 1, 2, 3, 4. - That's hard.
(Messing up)
I would've practiced it if I knew you'd make me do this.
- He's struggling with it. - Regular people can't copy it.
- He's struggling a lot. - By the way, do you...
sweat that much when you play this sport?
(Drenched in sweat)
Basketball is one of the sports that players run the most for.
- They keep running back and forth. - And they do a lot of body checks.
But every sport is hard.
After playing soccer, I realized it was hard too.
I don't think you're good at sports that involve playing with the balls.
I think I became bad at it.
I am bad at playing basketball and soccer.
Sung Woo, your life was threatened...
because of the performance you did on the stage.
- We once went to Japan... - That's right.
and did a performance of ripping the Rising Sun flag.
I remember that.
- You were in Japan. - Yes.
- I had red hair. - You had red hair.
(He had red hair.)
(To criticize the biased views on the Japanese history textbooks,)
(he ripped the Rising Sun flag...)
(and sang the Korean national anthem.)
(That's incredible.)
- He ripped the Rising Sun flag. - No Brain was incredible.
That's right.
Afterward, we went back to Japan to perform.
Before we arrived at the venue,
the Japanese far-right groups gathered around.
They talked about finishing us off...
- in front of the venue... - Really?
when a friend of mine heard them.
- He heard it and said, - I see.
"Kill me first..."
"if you are going to kill them."
That's intense.
"They are my friends."
Then another big festival in Japan...
invited us to perform.
We had decided to keep things clean,
but the production crew said...
it might be dangerous to have us perform.
We told them that we have a different vocalist.
(We have a different vocalist.)
- "It's a different person." - That's right.
They were like, "He looks like the same person."
In the end, we couldn't go.
- I remember that. - I know.
Sung Woo, there was a time you couldn't call your fans.
The name of the fan club was a bit strange.
- Why? - It was a bit strange.
I was at one venue when the fans came over and said,
"We came up with the fan club name."
When I asked them what it is, they said, "It's No Bra."
They must have thought I would like it.
"What? Are you serious?"
Someone like her must have been in that fan club.
I know. I think it's nice.
- Is it nice? - Of course.
"No Bra, I love you!"
(It's the fan club name.)
"No Bra, forever!"
(It really is the fan club name.)
- She loves it. - It's nice.
She is having the time of her life.
Joong Hoon, there is something you are focused on more than acting.
I have worked on it for many years.
- Directing. - He works on screenplays.
Six years ago, I released my first movie...
as a director.
- It didn't go well. - Busan International Film Festival.
In the industry, the first film is hard.
- That's right. - What harder is...
the second film that comes after the flop.
- It's very hard. - After the first film,
about three films failed to be.
I see.
You must have been upset at your junior actors.
When you called them,
they might have gone, "Joong Hoon."
You know what I mean. You know what I mean.
I have been turned down...
by 25 to 30 actors.
At first,
it was very shocking.
I used to be the one who turned down offers.
Which rejection was...
the most memorable?
The most memorable rejection was...
Who was it?
- Back then... - Tell us the story.
It will be interesting.
Gong Yoo...
received the script through his manager.
Then we met up and talked about the script...
for hours in a serious manner.
He told me why he wasn't drawn to it.
We parted ways on good terms.
It made me see him in a new light.
I could tell that he was sincere,
so the emotional scar...
was minimal. There were some actors...
who fell out of touch...
despite being close to me.
That started when you began to recruit actors.
That's right. It's not like they look down on me.
- They simply avoid you. - They feel bad and awkward.
I understand. I will need a very good screenplay...
to direct my second movie.
You are prepared to be the U.P. at the shoot.
That's right.
But what's U.P.?
An unpopular person.
Oh, as in popular person and unpopular person.
You should use the slang our guests know.
- Hold on. - The most popular person.
Why did you say "That's right"?
I thought it meant "Upbeat" or something.
- An unpopular person. - An unpopular person.
Did I ruin the mood by not understanding the slang?
I have worked as an actor for years before I debuted as a director.
When the shoot for a scene ends,
some directors keep it refreshing.
"Okay!" It gives you energy.
"Hold on."
Some directors are like that.
Then the wait is...
- very painful. - Yes.
When I directed the first movie,
- I had that mind... - "Let's keep it refreshing."
even when the take wasn't satisfactory.
I just said, "Okay!"
If I get to direct my second movie,
I will be more serious without tormenting the actors.
Even if it takes time...
You think you were too easy.
- "I should have pushed them more." - A bit more.
- "Hey." - You said "Okay" too easily.
"My life depends on this!"
"I can't believe you!"
"Do you know how hard it was to receive investment?"
(He will be more thorough.)
Jae, you were the coach of the professional teams...
and national team. It's stressful to be a coach,
so you developed a condition.
Being a coach,
I become absorbed in games.
Whether we win or lose, I get facial tremors.
Let's say I drink soju after the game.
If I am exhausted,
- my hands shake. - Really?
Your hands shake.
When you enter the locker room...
after your team loses the game,
- anger rushes up. - Yes.
It's understandable.
- That's right. - It's like that after a loss.
At first, I cursed a lot at the basketball players.
I would criticize them...
for their poor performance.
"You can't go out tonight."
I would say that even though they were planning to go out.
Since the bus ride is long,
I would think to myself.
- It would make you less angry. - I would feel like...
You would feel bad.
I would feel like I took out my anger on them.
Once we arrive,
I would tell them that they can go out.
Then they smile from ear to ear.
They look like they are going on a picnic.
I didn't know players were like that.
They forget about what I said and go,
"Hur Jae is the best."
(He is the master of playing hot and cold.)
When you were a coach, you knew their conditions well.
I knew because I was a basketball player.
- For example, - "He wouldn't do well today."
if someone drank the night before,
I caught him without fail.
I could easily catch 1 out of 100.
(It's you.)
Something is different, right?
Firstly,
they avoid my eyes.
I see.
When I go towards them, they run away.
They continue to run away.
When you check the players into a hotel...
in Ilsan or something,
their wives and girlfriends might stay on different floors.
Then they could sneak out to meet them.
- They could go on a date. - They could go on a date.
- Well... - It would be too tempting.
These days, the basketball players...
are different when it comes to...
- Self-management. - That's right.
I said earlier that their willpower is weaker...
because their desire to win is weaker.
When it comes to taking care of their bodies,
- they are thorough. - They are thorough.
If there is a game coming up, they don't drink any beer.
That's how well they take care of their bodies.
Didn't you escape a lot when you were a basketball player?
I slept in a different hotel.
(Jae was one step ahead of his coach.)
Sung Woo, you think your sense of presence diminished...
in the past 2 or 3 years.
What do you mean?
There is a certain trend or flow...
to music.
Hip-hop has taken over the industry.
- At festivals? - Yes.
We need to bring our musical instruments...
and that incurs expenses.
At events, they don't set up the stage for bands.
- Right. - No, they don't.
That's why we became less competitive.
In the past, we performed at five events a day.
These days, we perform at 4 or 5 events a month.
I think bands are less popular...
- these days. - Is Crying Nut the same?
Would you visit my radio program?
I will do that.
- Yes! - Do we get an appearance fee?
- Did you just recruit him? - Why did she do that...
when he was talking about his struggles?
You will get an appearance fee.
People are forgetting about No Brain...
and the trend is changing.
Do you have any countermeasures?
No, I don't. I will just focus on my music.
- You need to go on. - Yes.
Don't worry about the trend.
Trends come and go.
Why don't you wear shocking makeup...
like NORAZO?
- It might help. - No! They need to do their thing.
- There has to be a way. - They can't beat NORAZO.
- They can't beat NORAZO. - Listen.
On their way to a music program,
they actually took a shower.
There is no way they can beat NORAZO.
- That's not what I am saying. - Their hands are full.
- That's not what I am saying. - Their song is titled "Shower",
so they actually took a shower.
That's NORAZO's identity.
Sung Woo is the coolest on the stage.
- He is the coolest. - That's right.
- He is incredible. - His voice is on another level.
You fell for me
Please visit my radio program.
Performing for a radio program won't make him much money.
- Stop already. - Seriously.
(She keeps inviting him to her radio program.)
Joong Hoon should visit the radio program with us.
You should sing "Rain and You"...
- while we play the instrumental. - That would be nice.
Okay. I will do that.
He isn't even drunk.
He agreed even though he isn't even drunk.
(Gyu Ri succeeded to rope them into her radio program.)
Gyu Ri, you thought about...
- giving up on acting last year. - Really?
Yes.
You know,
when you have been in one profession for many years,
- crises of life come to you. - You are right.
As everyone knows,
- I had a big crisis. - It was eventful.
The past 10 years were very painful.
Last year, I didn't get much work.
- You didn't get much work. - No.
- I see. - And It was...
not like what I imagined.
I thought I would be able to work a bit,
but actually I didn't get many opportunities to work.
I even thought...
I might as well...
- just leave like that. - Where did you want to go?
- You wanted to quit. - So what else did you want to do?
In the movie, "Portrait of a Beauty",
- I played Shin Yun Bok. - Right.
I learned Korean painting for the character.
I put a lot of efforts into learning it then.
Since I've been drawing as a hobby,
- I thought I could... - You wanted to become a painter.
focus on it and create a better work.
I thought...
it could be a good idea to have a second job.
Lee Hae Young draws a lot too.
She gave me a fan earlier.
Ha Jung Woo also likes to draw.
Jung Ryeo Won likes to draw too.
- I think it's a good idea. - Yes.
- Sol Bi is also... - Right.
Sol Bi is working hard too.
I went to her exhibition once.
She asked me to buy her painting, but...
(She asked me to buy her painting, but...)
Sol Bi's paintings are nice.
I told her...
to please wait until I can understand art.
(You don't understand my artistic talent.)
Luckily, I got casted for a drama called...
"Designated Survivor: 60 Days", which is running now.
And I'm so happy that I'm a radio host.
- A radio show. - Please come to our show.
(Oh... Okay.)
She will at least never have to starve herself. She's so passionate.
She's so...
You shouldn't announce anything beforehand.
Just go with the flow.
- I think you're right. - You might regret otherwise.
He also announced...
that he'll leave the show.
- Right. - That's different.
You're leaving for sure, right?
I don't know. If it gets cold, I'll come back.
You're swayed, aren't you?
- I heard it's cold outside. - He might come back...
and say, "I'm not Yoon Jong Shin."
"You're talking to the wrong person."
(As he made an announcement, he has to leave.)
After "Dancing with the Stars", Gyu Ri starred...
in a dance musical. You are the first actress to have done that.
Right. It's called "Contact".
("Contact" is a musical that has no lines but only dance.)
(Gyu Ri take the leading role of the musical.)
(She can even pull off advanced choreography.)
I wanted to dance so badly.
Somehow, when I dance,
I'm not myself that I know.
- I'm someone else I want to be. - That's amazing.
She looked like a different person indeed.
- She did. - I have always...
wanted to be a cool woman.
She dances well,
is confident,
is very feminine, and sexy.
When I dance, I can be that.
That's why I love dancing.
I have been waiting for an opportunity...
and I came to learn about a musical called "Contact".
- I even auditioned for it. - You even auditioned for it.
I heard you cuddled your fridge every day for the show.
Right. I couldn't make a full turn...
back then.
But I was determined...
to make it happen.
So I practiced every night.
I had to do some stretching at home...
and the fridge looked like a perfect equipment to use.
I put my one leg on the fridge and...
You put it like this?
Then I pull myself to the fridge.
I kept pulling like this.
When...
the television is turned off, you see a small light on it...
and the fridge also has a light.
I used those lights to practice turns.
- In the darkness? - Yes.
- Could you show us the turn? - Please show us.
I'd rather see it than hear about it.
Please show us.
(She'll show the turn she accomplished with passion.)
That we talk about dance means we want to see them dance.
I'll take off my shoes.
I thought she'd be wearing her shoes.
- Well... - Why are you doing this?
What? Why am I doing this?
What do you mean?
I'm just trying to watch her dance. You hate to see that even?
- No, I mean... - You don't like this sight?
You can just watch it.
- You don't have to do this. - I'm just trying to watch her.
(Bickering)
- Can I do it here? - Yes. Good.
The choreography goes...
1, 2, 3.
(Jumping)
It goes like this.
(Nervous)
- But... - Is that it?
Yes, but...
Actually, there's another move I have prepared.
- I knew it. - Because...
You should've told it earlier.
You should have told us earlier.
(You should have told us earlier.)
Since...
- Young Mi joined the host squad, - Right.
I want to celebrate it.
(A special performance to celebrate Yeong Mi joining the show.)
You prepared something for real.
- You really did? - I thought...
you might ask me to dance.
- So I prepared it. - I see.
But...
I'm not that good a dancer.
- Come on. - Oh, come on.
She's so defensive. Let's just show us.
(She shyly steps up in a sparkly jacket.)
I hope I can do this.
- Don't worry. - Turn the volume up.
(Let's focus.)
Oh, my goodness.
(It's Celeb Five's choreography.)
That's Young Mi's.
(She dances barefooted.)
- Goodness. - She's good.
Seriously.
(There's a surprise behind her shyness.)
(Actress Kim Gyu Ri is gone.)
(I will show you a whole new me.)
(Her passion for dance gushes.)
(No one has ever seen Gyu Ri like this.)
(Even her poker face looks charming.)
(Gyu Ri is the best.)
That was nice.
(Young Mi is very satisfied.)
- Gosh, that was amazing. - Congratulations.
- Thank you so much. - Beside that...
By the way,
I didn't know this choreography could look so graceful.
I had no idea this choreography was so graceful.
She danced just like how Celeb Five danced.
- That was just like how we do. - Are you sure?
- Yes, it was exactly the same. - But why did it feel different?
It felt the same too.
(Find the difference.)
I don't understand what you mean by, "different".
It felt...
totally different from Jae's basketball dribble earlier.
Of course. It's completely different from that.
- That was amazing. - Gyu Ri is amazing.
That was completely different indeed.
- Gyu Ri has passion. - She's passionate indeed.
How long did you practice? This choreography is really hard.
- For 4 days. - 4 days.
Really? We practiced eight hours...
- every day for 2 months. - You should practice more.
Oh, come on. Stop it.
How dare you butt in when two dancers are talking?
Seriously.
Joong Hoon, you're known for being close friends with Ahn Sung Ki,
Jang Dong Gun, Jung Woo Sung, and Lee Jung Jae.
Do you have any close friends that are...
- in their 20s or 30s? - Sure. These days...
I'm close friends with Song Joong Ki since a few years ago.
I'm good friends with him.
- And Minho of SHINee... - Minho.
called me a day before he went to the army.
- He calls me in the army too. - The soldiers can have phones now.
We even make video calls. We're pretty close.
- So... - What does he call you?
- He just calls me by my first name. - He does?
He should call you, "Mr. Park".
Come on.
- But... - You're over 20 years older.
We just...
Mr. Park Joong Hoon.
- Mr. Park. - Most of my juniors...
just call me by my first name.
Is there anyone whom you want to be closer?
- Someone I want to be closer? - Yes.
I really love my male juniors.
- He really does. - These days,
- I like Choi Woo Shik. - Choi Woo Shik.
- From "Parasite". - "Parasite", yes.
And I'm interested in Woo Do Hwan too.
- Woo Do Hwan. - Woo Do Hwan.
- He's such a charming man too. - He is.
I have become close with those guys recently.
I wouldn't say "close". I'm getting to know them.
(Thank you, Joong Hoon.)
Sung Woo, you're well-known as a fan of Lovelyz.
Oh, right. "Ah-Choo".
(Sung Woo has become a big fan of Lovelyz.)
I heard you talked about Lovelyz all the time.
I'm a huge fan of theirs.
- Do you like Mi Joo? - Who's your favorite?
- I like all of them. - I see.
- We usually have our favorite. - I like all of them.
He doesn't mention just one person. He's a definitely a fan of theirs.
He's definitely a huge fan.
Do they know that you're such a huge fan?
- Yes, they do. - Of course.
I even sang together.
Even during the concert this time,
they handed me the microphone and wanted me to sing.
So I sang there.
In my ears
Make me hear
The twinkle
(They're loving it.)
But you didn't even talk to them...
when you were practicing for the joint performance.
If I tried to talk to them...
They're already tired.
Were you shy?
I was shy too.
- But... - You were worried they were tired.
I was worried they were tired.
- That's a true fan. - He's a true fan.
Why do you like Lovelyz?
Because I do.
(There's no reason.)
It's in the name, "Lovelyz".
When you listen to their songs,
aren't they a little different?
I do like songs produced by Yoon Sang.
Their other songs are also good.
The overall quality of their albums is good.
Are you thinking of doing a remake or a cover of their songs?
I performed with them once.
It was a year-end performance in 2017.
So we were the most searched keyword.
Lovelyz was the second most searched,
then they went up and we went down one.
So I felt proud and happy for them.
Speaking of which,
he said a lot of wise sayings during the pre-interview.
"There are many idol girl groups,"
"but there's only one Lovelyz."
"I like them because it's Lovelyz,"
"I don't need any reason."
But your ideal type is not one of the members of Lovelyz?
Young Mi, do you have a religion?
- A religion? - Tell him.
- Just like that? - Answer him.
I don't really have a religion.
She's not the type of person who has a religion.
You're right. I only believe in me.
I believe in Buddhism.
I never thought of going out with a Buddhist saint.
It's kind of like that.
(I never thought of going out with a Buddhist saint.)
So they're like saints in your mind,
- and you won't date them. - So you could say...
- it's blasphemous. - He's really into them.
- What's your ideal type? - My ideal type?
I like a woman who has a pretty smile.
A woman with a pretty smile.
And...
Are you smiling right now?
I'll come to your radio show.
- Look at her. - I'll come, all right?
She even promotes her show.
(Look at me.)
Are you smiling like that because you don't like Sung Woo?
- She's just throwing it out there. - It's because you don't like him.
She's making fun of me.
- I don't think she likes you. - She's making fun of me.
You also prepared a dance for Lovelyz.
- That's actually... - Is No Brain dancing now?
Hold on a moment.
During the year-end performance in the past,
they taught me just one move.
But I have a lot to do here,
so I'm just going to pretend.
- All right. - Fine, let's see it.
- It's a dance for Lovelyz. - Just watch me.
It's a rocker dancing for an idol girl group.
(He feels awkward.)
(He dedicates this dance to Lovelyz.)
(Here comes his version of "Ah-Choo".)
Give me!
(He's very cute.)
(Let's go, Sung Woo!)
(He's full of love for Lovelyz thanks to the support.)
(Who's a fan of Lovelyz in here? I am!)
(He's embarrassed.)
(But the Lovelyz lover manages to finish everything.)
(He memorized the lyrics.)
(He doesn't forget about the details of the choreography.)
(It's perfect.)
(He adds a bit of his rocker's soul.)
(He's passionate.)
(He gathers all his love and passion for them,)
(and finishes it with affection.)
The way I see it,
that's going to be a legendary meme in the Korean rock music history.
- It was No Brain's... - But...
Your fan club, No Bra, will be disappointed.
- It's fine. - "My Sung Woo is..."
"a real rocker, what is he doing?"
I think the world's changing.
You only live once.
You have to love everything you love in your life.
Right.
(He puts everything in Lovelyz in this life.)
Joong Hoon, do you try to be popular?
I have two daughters.
And one of them is a teenager, the younger one.
He said it like she's someone else's daughter.
"One of them is a teenager."
- Yes. - I was trying to get closer to her,
so I listened to all the songs in the music chart.
I said the name of her favorite group.
I said it wrong.
- She likes BOL4. - Yes.
I said to her,
"I like EAR4."
EAR4?
To me, it doesn't matter...
if it's an ear or not.
(It was a cute mistake from who wanted to be popular.)
Gyu Ri,
you're learning neologisms in your radio show.
I usually read the stories of the listeners...
or play the songs if they have a song request.
- And the terms were unfamiliar. - I couldn't understand the words.
"I. A."?
What's "I. A."?
- "I. A.". - Do you know what it is?
- It's iced americano. - Right.
The way you raised your hand was...
Everyone knows the neologism.
- He just... - He was so excited to get it right.
It was like, "I know what it is!"
Then how do I do it?
You know iced americano.
That's a neologism from the past.
- It was new for me. - You didn't know this one,
did you, Hur Jae?
- I didn't. - You didn't, right?
Was it completely new to you?
- I couldn't tell. - Really?
Even I didn't know.
- Seriously? - You didn't know what "I. A." was?
- "I. A."? - "I. A.".
And I sat here thinking he's great.
"How does he know this one?"
"He's great."
- You're great. - You're great.
I thought he was trendy.
The abbreviations we had was...
the NCSR.
The National College Students Representatives?
I was "VS", very surprised.
I was "VS" too.
- They said, "VS". - That's all we had.
Now they're going to say, "Let's go somewhere dark and kiss."
- You're so classy. - She's classy?
"The soybean lump dropped from the rooftop."
Please stop.
I'm sick of it.
Sung Woo,
you only know the terms used among the fans.
Since I'm a fan,
I know a lot of them.
- What terms are there? - Why don't we...
do it together?
Since he raised his hand.
- I won't now. - Can we have...
a neologism test...
- altogether? - I know all of them.
- "Ma Sang". - "Ma Sang"?
That means, "wounded heart".
He knows a lot.
Let's not be too surprised about that.
That was...
too easy.
- Just... - What do I do?
don't be too surprised by that.
It feels like I passed the exam first.
(He passed first among the old men.)
That was "Ma Sang".
What about "Deok Gye Mot"?
- The fans can't hit the jackpot. - What is this?
- The fans can't hit the jackpot. - He knows a lot.
That was a bit difficult.
- This means... - Even I didn't know.
What does that mean?
- It means the fans are unlucky. - He's right.
- It's like the Murphy's law. - Right.
What's next?
- What's "Yi Saeng Mang"? - "Yi Saeng Mang".
"We Saeng Mang"?
- "Yi Saeng Mang". - "Yi Saeng Mang".
I really don't know.
- I think I know. - Give them a hint.
- He knows. - What is it?
"This life is a fail."
(They're surprised.)
That was great.
Did you read the script?
No, I didn't.
He didn't.
I'm a honest man.
Why would he cheat on something like this?
(Laughing)
- Here's the next one. - He can't see well.
It's "Home Ma".
- "Home Ma"? - I don't know.
- It's "Home Ma". - With an "M"?
Yes, with an "M".
Does that mean your mom's at home?
(Does that mean your mom's at home?)
Quit this.
Quit all this. Let's not do this.
- Is it wrong? - Let's not do this.
- So what does it mean? - That was logical, though.
- What about Sung Woo? - That was logical.
It's "Homepage Master".
- It's "Homepage Master". - "Homepage Master"?
- It's "Homepage Master". - It's "Homepage Master".
It's the person who takes a lot of pictures of the celebrity.
This is very difficult.
These are the easy ones.
They're shortening everything!
I just can't seem to understand.
That was the easy one.
- It was. - Do people know all these?
- They don't. - Many of them don't.
Lately,
I heard "Me Bul Me".
- "Charming"... - "You get more charming..."
- "every day"? - "Me Bul Me"?
Doesn't it mean, "Asking for whipping"?
(Doesn't it mean, "Asking for whipping"?)
So you ask for whipping, and...
- You ask for whipping. - You ask for whipping.
When you do something wrong...
in the old days, the teachers would say, "You ask for your whipping."
- I see. - So what does it mean?
- "You ask for whipping". - "Me Bul Me" is...
Since Ronaldo has...
disappointed the Korean fans lately...
- The "Rob-naldo". - Yes, "Rob-naldo".
"Rob-naldo" became his nickname.
They decided not to use...
the letter "Ro" in any words.
So they changed...
"Ro" in "Ro Bul Ro" with "Me" in "Messi".
So we have "Me Bul Me".
- Let me ask Young Mi. - Yes.
Do you know what a hen house is?
- You don't know, do you? - It's a house for hens, isn't it?
It's a night club.
This is going to be...
- a battle between generations. - That's for older men.
So we had terms like that in my days.
Let's not do this.
Do you know what "Yari" is?
That's enough.
Of course I do.
- Do you know it? - Do you know it?
- How would I not know "Yari time"? - Wait.
- How about this, "Ttagari? - "Ttagari"?
Of course I know what it is.
She's not that young.
- Of course I know it. - She's not that young.
Young Mi, remember where you are!
Don't use slangs.
(No more slangs. Let's use regular words.)
Joong Hoon,
was this what you wanted to promote...
in Radio Star?
He...
- He talks... - Is that what you wanted?
- What's going on? - He talks...
He talks a lot today.
Was this what you wanted to promote?
- Do you want a battle, or what? - Then...
Then you have completely succeeded.
What was that?
- What was that? - I actually...
do Instagram.
And...
I was uncomfortable with taking a picture of me,
so I didn't do it at first.
But you post a lot of pictures.
So I made an account later,
since everyone does it.
I have a few 100K followers on Twitter.
But I have less than 10K on Instagram.
- I see. - I posted a lot of them.
You'll have more followers when this goes on air.
- Yes. - But...
I'm not talking about following my account.
What?
I want to be...
among the popular kids.
I'm becoming an outcast.
(I'm new to Instagram.)
(He made mistake on the hashtag.)
Hur Jae,
you have a place you always realize your age...
- when you go there. - Where is it?
It's...
We used to go to nightclubs, not clubs.
I used to like going there...
to dance and have a drink.
I used to go there often.
Since I became a coach,
when I have a gathering for the team,
When I went to another place to drink with everybody,
I used to drink until the place closed.
(Giggling)
But now I can't even stay for 30 minutes.
It's hard.
I can't go there anymore.
(He realized that he'd aged at a night club.)
You reached that point quite late.
I reached the point a while ago.
People would think Joong Hoon is there to take over the business.
(People would think he's there to take over the business.)
- To take over the club. - That's right.
I realized something. I thought I was living young,
and my junior actors felt comfortable around me.
But what I heard was different from what I thought.
- I was... - What is it?
- What did people say? - What did you hear?
They just tried to avoid me while were working together.
I wondered if I did anything wrong to them.
But it turned out they just felt uncomfortable around me.
- Of course. - They must've felt that way.
- However, - They need some private space.
relationships between senior and junior actors are tricky.
When a newcomer actor talks a lot,
his senior actors find him funny.
And if he's quiet, his senior actors find him charming.
But when I'm talk a lot, my junior actors think I'm too chatty.
And when I stay quiet, they feel uncomfortable.
(Being quiet makes them uncomfortable.)
There's nothing I can do.
You can get out of their sight.
- Right. So I... - You just say hi, and then leave.
- Just say hi, and then leave. - As if you were not around them.
But that's not me.
They don't want you around them.
Whatever we do would make us look terrible.
- Exactly. - "He's terrible."
They would call you terrible and boring.
It sounds like you're...
complaining to your junior actors.
"Please pay attention to me."
- "When I'm quiet..." - How about you?
- Doesn't the same go for you? - My goodness.
- Me? - People hate it when you...
- talk a lot too? - Of course.
I don't usually talk much.
That's why they feel uncomfortable around you.
(They're showing off their old friends chemistry.)
Gyu Ri said that she had clenched her teeth...
to look beautiful in a dress.
There are some dresses you can't wear underwear under it.
When wearing such a dress, I use packaging tape...
to pull all my flesh from the back...
- to the front. - That's right.
- To push your breasts up. - Exactly. To push my breasts up.
Doesn't it hurt badly?
- It doesn't hurt when I put it on. - She has no choice.
- But... - It hurts when you take it off.
When I take the tape off after the event ends,
I scream in pain like this.
(She can't help but scream.)
You know, I've seen actors closely for a long time.
- Yes. - That's right.
At an film awards ceremony held in winter,
the red carpet event is held before the ceremony.
Sometimes, the ceremony is scheduled on an unusually cold day.
- That's right. - The temperature is minus 20℃.
Or when it feels that cold.
Since actors wear tuxedos,
That's right. They feel a little warmer.
it's bearable for us.
But actresses wear dresses.
When I see them closely, I can see them shaking.
- They have goosebumps too. - It's interesting...
that I get cold so easily,
but when I stand on the red carpet in a dress,
- You don't feel cold? - She endures it with her willpower.
I don't feel cold at all for the moment.
- You're a natural born actress. - That's amazing.
- I feel warm. - You were born an actress.
I think it's psychological reaction.
- She's incredible. - Or maybe I just...
- concentrate too hard to feel cold. - That's right.
Joong Hoon, I heard that you spend more time on practicing...
impersonating other celebrities than on finding a nice suit.
No, that's not true.
- That's ridiculous. - Well...
It's not like that.
Why do you practice impersonating celebrities for an awards ceremony?
I know that there's a meme of me all over the internet.
But I did it more than 10 years ago.
From what I heard from Jae,
- you imitate Jae well. - I'm curious.
"Hey, Joong Hoon. Come over here."
- That's good. - Exactly. Show us.
- He said you're good at it. - I just did.
Was that what he talked about?
- Jae is hot-tempered, - I see.
so he can't speak clearly because he's impatient.
"Hey, just hurry up and come here."
While I'm at it, I'll imitate Ahn Sung Ki too.
Sung Ki laughs easily.
He laughs even when he's angry.
He laughs first however he feels.
When someone says hello to him and says something, he's like...
(Smiling)
- Exactly. - I saw Sung Ki for a moment.
- He tilts his head to 45 degrees. - Exactly.
I can tell if he's angry so easily.
- How does he look? - No one else can.
- How does he look when he's angry? - When he's happy,
- he smiles widely. - Okay.
But when he's upset, he smiles less widely.
- Can you show us? - He usually smiles like this.
But he smiles like this when he's upset.
I can feel the difference.
- Only you can tell the difference. - I can tell the difference.
I'm sure I know him better than anyone except for his family.
He doesn't show his emotions.
He doesn't show it at all.
When I met Sung Ki for the first time,
I thought he had such good personality...
and great self discipline.
But I was wrong.
He has a hot temper, but he doesn't let it show.
However, if you think about it,
all people are the same.
So the fact that he doesn't let it show means he has self discipline,
- and he's upright. - You're right.
While we were filming the movie, "Radio Star",
he got upset once.
- When? - What was the reason?
Because someone flipped meat twice while grilling it.
He was very sensitive about the way of grilling meat.
- I didn't know that. - The way of grilling meat?
He shows his weaknesses at unexpected moments.
He said angrily, "Why would you grill meat like that?"
- That's not how he speaks. - You sound like Lee Dae Geun.
- He doesn't sound angry. - He's not good at impersonating.
- But he went for it anyway. - He sounds like he's crying.
What was that?
He sounded like Lee Dae Geun.
- Not even like Lee Dae Geun. - "I told you not to do it."
What was that?
"Why would you flip the meat twice?"
He's good at it.
(Joong Hoon is an expert at impersonation.)
Gyu Ri, you said you took a lesson for funny acts...
before appearing on "King of Mask Singer".
That's right.
What I want to be good at the most...
is to entertain other people.
- It's not an easy thing to do. - I really want to be good at it,
but I don't think I have talent for it.
However, on "King of Mask Singer",
the contestants wear a mask,
so people don't know who they are.
Since people wouldn't recognize me because of the mask,
I wanted to do something funny to make them laugh.
But I didn't know what to do to make them laugh.
- Choi Ki Seop of ONGALS... - Yes.
- I know who he is. - Yes.
He's a friend of mine.
- I took a private lesson. - From Ki Seop? I see.
- What did you learn? - Show us.
I learned how to imitate a snail...
- A snail? - and acorn jelly.
- Acorn jelly. - So...
- Is that even funny? - Acorn jelly is funny.
- Is it a funny act? - Yes.
Show us. It's impersonation.
- Please show us. - Show us.
You can just show people instead of explaining.
It gets boring the moment you start explaining.
- I have to stand up. - Acorn jelly?
- Yes, acorn jelly. - Acorn jelly.
- Acorn jelly. - Show us.
I turn at an 45 degree angle.
(Acorn jelly)
- That's funny. - Right? I told you so.
It's funny.
(Embarrassed)
It was funny.
- Was it okay? - That's an advanced level.
- Just like acorn jelly moves? - That's right.
- Since Ahn Il Kwon's calf... - Exactly.
- This is Gyu Ri's own funny act. - It's Gyu Ri's funny act.
I'm not good with words, but I'm not so bad at using my body.
By the way, since she's an actress, she's different from us.
After she was done, she sat down behind her chair like this.
(Like this)
I realized that we can get more airtime that way.
Young Mi, what do you usually do after you do a funny act?
- She would move around. - I'd do some more funny acts.
- Right in front of the camera. - But she was behind her chair.
And that way, she got more airtime.
- My gosh. - You can't do that.
I see my head out of the frame all the time.
- Exactly. - I always stand up suddenly.
(How sad it is that her head is out of the frame.)
Am I right? Have you ever seen...
- any one of us doing it? - Never.
- My head is out of the frame. - You should stay here.
- I always stand here. - You should sit down like this.
- It was so nice to see. - I'm always somewhere else.
- Or I turn around. - Exactly. Don't do it from now on.
Both of you stood up, but none of you made a useful scene.
(We'll do it like her next time.)
Anyway, both of...
Jae's sons became basketball players.
They are growing up well as basketball players.
As their senior basketball player and as their father,
you gave them two pieces of advice.
"Never do this, my sons."
Young people these days like to mix drinks with alcohol.
People mix all sorts of drinks with alcohol.
Like calamansi extract?
I always tell them not to mix anything with liquor,
- and drink it as it is. - I see.
- Like tequila shots. - As it is.
Instead of drinking until the sun comes up,
- Not drink until too late. - they should drink strong liquor.
- Because they're athletes. - Strong liquor for a short time.
- Exactly. - That's good advice.
- And the other one is... - What is it?
I used to smoke, and I realized that it's bad for health.
- Smoking? - So...
- I tell them not to smoke. - Not to smoke.
- Since they're athletes, - Lung capacity is important.
I tell them not to smoke.
So did you quit smoking?
I changed the type.
- Do you smoke e-cigarettes now? - Electronic cigarettes.
- Yes, I do. - Electronic cigarettes.
- He understands "e-cigarettes". - He couldn't quit smoking.
- I smoke e-cigarettes. - But he changed the type.
- Right. - Your wife...
doesn't nag you not to drink much, does she?
She doesn't tell me that often.
As for our sons, she hates it when they drink...
because they're athletes.
When it passes midnight,
she starts nagging them to come home, so the kids...
- ask her not to call them. - Right.
Then I tell her to stop calling them since they're having fun...
- after a long time. - I see.
But she won't stop texting whatever I say.
(He goes on explaining as he was asked about his wife.)
You don't usually win an argument with your wife, do you?
- No, I don't. - I thought so.
It seems so.
(Jae is well-behaved when he's with his wife.)
Jae is in an awkward position because of the actor...
- who looks like him. - Who could that be?
Who could that be?
- Jung Hae In. - Pardon me?
- No way. - Jung Hae In?
(The Tall Man Who Is Good at Basketball)
He ruined his good public image at the end of the show.
He has friends...
- who are not... - This is why...
- It was an official comment. - I didn't want to talk about it.
Hae In's fans will beat me to death.
So you actually heard that you look like Hae In?
- His eyes look a little... - I heard it...
- on "Gather and Kick". - I think Hae In...
will be excited to hear it.
I mean, Jae is a legendary basketball star.
That's just Gook Jin's opinion.
- Gook Jin always... - I think...
Gook Jin said that Gu Ra looks like Park Tae Hwan.
(Unbelievable)
- You have a weird sense of beauty. - Exactly.
- It's weird. - Stop it.
- I just can't understand. - Just do this.
- Have you asked Hae In how he felt? - Park Tae Hwan?
- My goodness. That's... - Doesn't he look like Tae Hwan?
- My jawline... - That's nonsense.
- is a bit similar to his. - If I were Hae In,
- I would be glad to hear it. - Jae's facial features... Right.
Of course.
I'm happy that people say I look like him.
- Also... - He's really handsome, you know.
You look like Hae In...
and Han Moo as well.
That's what Gook Jin was trying to say.
- That's what he was trying to say. - Then I agree.
- Hey, what are you talking about? - Then I agree with him.
You have me in the palm of your hand.
- I just thought... - Han Moo, fart for us.
You look like both Jung Hae In and Han Moo.
(Jae looks like both Hae In and Moo.)
Sung Woo, is it true that you took lessons until a few years ago?
Yes, it's true. I took a yoga class...
and a kettlebell class, which is a workout class.
- Like this? - Yes.
And you cried a lot in the class.
Yes. My yoga instructor...
made us do a lot of yoga poses for 50 minutes. And then...
"Now, all the unnecessary energy..."
"will go out of your body,"
"and you will reach your unconscious mind."
I kept my eyes closed.
Then suddenly, smiling faces popped in my head.
Back then, I wasn't very happy with my life.
I saw my family and friends'...
smiling faces one by one.
Then tears started to fall down my face even before I knew.
People say that yoga is more about philosophy than exercise.
- It's related to meditation too. - Meditation too.
(Looking around anxiously)
I see.
The atmosphere became somber suddenly.
You should've asked the next question right away.
- You should've jumped in. - Where were we?
- Isn't it your turn? - It's my turn.
Gosh, seriously.
- Good grief. - Go ahead.
- I can't believe you. - In fact,
- I meant to skip this question. - Seriously.
- I meant to skip the question. - "I meant to skip the question."
- Gosh. - But...
- But this is a good question. - Well...
- I've never heard it before. - Actually,
- Never. - since Gyu Ri is versatile,
she almost joined a girl group. It's true, right?
- Me? - Yes.
- Really? A girl group? - Which major entertainment agency?
- Wasn't it SM Entertainment? - SM Entertainment?
- Was it JYP Entertainment? - SM Entertainment...
and DSP Media.
- Oh, DSP Media? - I see.
Which girl groups were active back then?
- Fin.K.L and S.E.S. - S.E.S?
- S.E.S? - Also,
- Uptown was active back then too. - Uptown?
But I don't want to cause those singers any trouble,
so I'm carefully choosing my words right now.
That's why I was going to skip the question.
My gosh.
I made my debut as a model.
- A commercial model, right? - Yes, a commercial model.
And then I got an opportunity...
to become a magazine model too.
- That's how the agencies saw me. - I see.
So if I had a meeting with them...
when they contacted me, I might have become a girl group.
- You didn't even have a meeting? - No.
- I didn't meet them. - This is why I meant to skip it.
Gosh. Come on.
- She didn't even meet them. - If she hadn't explained to us,
there would've been a misunderstanding.
We had to give her a chance to make it clear. Gosh.
It was nice to see her grab him by the collar.
(Young Mi and Gu Ra are good friends.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who work hard in their own fields...
to build up their careers.
"The Song To Reminisce the Old Times".
Shall we hear the song that Joong Hoon and Jae chose?
("Friend" by Ahn Jae Wook)
(A song that makes you want to call your friend)
I haven't listened to this song for a while.
Ahn Jae Wook's "Friend".
- I like this song. - It's Jae's favorite song to sing.
- I see. - Is that so?
I only sing when I'm drunk.
Shall we hear Joong Hoon and Jae sing "Friend"?
- "Friend". - All right.
(Come here.)
(While discussing, they get surprised.)
("Friend" performed by Park Joong Hoon and Hur Jae)
(Awkward)
Why do they look so awkward?
(Laughing)
They're definitely close friends.
(I call you out of the blue when I had a bad day)
(Anxious)
(He's singing faster than the accompaniment.)
(He seems like he'll sing.)
(But he doesn't sing.)
(Giggling)
(To his good friend whom he's known for a long time,)
(he tries to toss the mic, but failed.)
(Jae is taken aback while Joong Hoon is gazing blankly.)
(Is it Jae's turn again?)
Why isn't he singing?
(Moving his lips)
(The song is about close friends, but they look like they just met.)
(Friendship)
(What's that?)
(He lip-syncs to the end.)
(Awkward)
- Wait. - What?
- Joong Hoon. - Why didn't you sing?
- Why didn't you sing? - I sang.
You didn't sing at all.
I did sing a little. I don't know the song very well.
- He was the one who chose the song. - Gosh. What was that?
I've never seen any guests this awkward with each other.
- You should've sung "Rain and You". - It's okay.
- It would've been better. - They didn't look like friends.
I think their performance will go viral.
That was funny.
I think this is how actual friends would act, though.
Should we have looked each other in the eye while singing?
I thought Joong Hoon was a CG image.
- His image from another TV show. - No, no.
I sent him a signal, but he didn't sing.
But I couldn't just stop singing.
- Joong Hoon was like this. - He held out so long.
(He only moved his lips.)
(Laughing)
- I think it'll go viral. - You saw him, right?
- I thought his image was edited. - Let me explain.
He didn't even sing.
It's Jae's favorite song,
- and I was... - Did you...
went up on the stage just for him.
That was enough, wasn't it?
- Why didn't you refuse to sing? - I mean...
- Then... - He was gazing blankly.
- We didn't force him to sing. - Exactly.
They made me do it.
I expected you to smile,
but you looked confused.
(Laughing)
See how weird it was when the show airs.
(Jae and his holographic friend)
That's hilarious.
