The magical Thursday night with top stars.
- Happy Together! - Happy Together!
(Happy Together)
The viewers must be wondering where we are.
We came out of the studio after a long time.
(A hot midsummer night)
(A small place to escape the heat in the city)
(The place with old music...)
(and romance)
(Happy Vinyl Bar)
I wondered why we rented a vinyl bar today.
I applaud our staff's thoughtfulness.
And their ability to invite such great stars.
They invited such great stars.
You see, it's hard...
to see our guests today on a variety show.
- We can't waste any second. - No, we can't.
Today, a single shot of them...
will be much more effective...
than 10 funny jokes Sae Ho would make.
- Their reactions matter more. - That's right.
- Let's bring them out. Come on out. - Please come out.
(Please come out.)
- Kim Go Eun. - Welcome.
- Kim Go Eun. - Jung Hae In.
- Kim Guk Hui and Jung Eugene. - Welcome.
- Hi, Go Eun. - Hello.
- How has it been? - It's been a long time.
Oh, my. Hello.
I've never met Hae In in person before.
- Hello. - Hi, Eugene.
Is this lineup real?
- Oh, my. - It's hard to believe.
Today, we invited the masters...
of romantic dramas.
It's "Happy Together Music Album".
We'll introduce our guests one by one.
She has irresistible charms that even a goblin fell for.
She's beautiful on sunny days and lovely on cloudy days,
and we miss her on perfect days. The great actress, Kim Go Eun!
- Kim Go Eun! - Come on!
(Kim Go Eun)
There's a long line of women waiting to treat him to a meal.
- Still? - He has a sweet face and voice.
The master of romantic dramas with unlimited charms, Jung Hae In!
- Jung Hae In! - Jung Hae In!
(Jung Hae In)
My goodness. Such amazing stars are here with us.
She's a veteran actress with 14 years of experience.
She's aiming to be a scene-stealer with her realistic acting.
Actress Kim Guk Hui!
Kim Guk Hui! This is so exciting.
We rarely get to see...
- Guk Hui and Eugene as well. - Exactly.
- Today's lineup is incredible. - Indeed.
- We could make three episodes. - This episode will be a legend.
- It's amazing. - She has perfect body proportions.
She has an innocent face, but her body is voluptuous.
The rising star with unexpected charms, Jung Eugene!
- Jung Eugene! - Come on!
(Jung Eugene)
Right. We're always grateful towards all the celebrities...
who come on Happy Together.
However, when stars who rarely appear on a variety show come here,
we get even more excited than we usually do.
It must be the first time to be on a talk show for some of them.
- Of course. - It must be.
- Go Eun has come here once. - That's right.
- But Hae In... - This is his first time here.
Isn't this your first time on this show?
Yes, it is.
Isn't it your first time on a variety show?
- It's my first time on a talk show. - Right?
- Hae In seems... - Right.
quite excited and nervous at the same time.
Are you nervous?
- I'm very nervous. - You are?
Go Eun seems much more comfortable than last time.
- She seems relaxed. - She seems relaxed, indeed.
- This is my second time here. - You've been here before.
The TV shows that Go Eun has appeared on so far are...
"Connect! Movie World"... We did some research.
- "News Room" and Happy Together. - Yes.
(She hasn't been on any other variety shows.)
- It's her second time on this show. - This is the only variety show.
Did you appear on only three shows as a guest?
- Well... Yes, that's right. - Right?
- I bet you got invited a lot. - Exactly.
Actually, I... How should I put it?
I tend to become nervous and shy so easily.
So I was afraid I might not be able to say anything on the shows.
- That's why. - Yes.
(Unlike what she said...)
(She flusters Sae Ho in a sketch.)
That was funny.
(And she tells a lot of interesting stories she prepared for today.)
(She's funny enough to win "Talk Box".)
(Coming soon)
(Variety Show Fairy)
- The door is always open for you. - He's right.
- Are you comfortable here? - Yes.
You watch Happy Together often, don't you?
- Yes, I do. - All right.
Did you watch last week's episode?
No, I didn't.
She didn't lie.
I was just wondering if she did.
- Why would make her uncomfortable? - Hey, don't ask such questions.
- I'm sorry. - It makes us all uncomfortable.
- Understood. - It doesn't even matter...
- since she's here with us. - Even if she did, it'd be awkward.
Since she said she had watched our show, so I just wondered.
- When Sul Woon Do was here... - We'd be uncomfortable anyway.
Don't say anything that would make us and our guests uncomfortable.
- You could've just moved on. - Let's move on.
I heard you met Sae Ho during a private occasion not long ago.
We hear that Sae Ho met our guests every week.
- What's wrong with you? - Why won't you go home?
- It's not like that. - How?
How did you meet Sae Ho?
Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook...
called me after a long time,
and asked me to have a drink with them.
They were drinking near my house.
But I was on my way to meet my friend,
- so I just stopped by. - I see.
And Sae Ho was there too.
- That's right. - Since Dong Wook was there,
I see why Sae Ho was there too.
He said that Go Eun will come,
and asked me to make her feel comfortable.
What was Go Eun like when you met her?
Unlike her image from her dramas,
she was very easygoing and pleasant.
I was worried she might be uncomfortable around me,
but she made me feel comfortable.
"Goblin" aired three years ago.
It became a big hit, but it seems you're still quite close to them.
- It seems so. - Yes, I am.
We're still quite close.
I guess they still keep in touch with each other.
They eat and drink together from time to time.
I visit Yoo In Na's house very often.
- Is that right? - Yoo In Na's house?
- Yes. - They adore her very much.
Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook...
adore her as if she's their own little sister.
And she treats them like her own big brothers.
It's hard to open up her heart, but once she does, it goes a long way.
- I open up my heart easily. - Really?
(I open up my heart easily.)
(Don't get me wrong.)
Then why didn't you open up to me?
(Then why didn't you open up to me?)
(Why would she?)
- To you? - Why would she open up to you?
She locked her heart.
- She won't open it. - I felt it before.
She said, "See you around."
She said she'd go home, and left.
- After that, we went to a karaoke. - Okay.
And she was in the next room at the karaoke.
(She was in the next room.)
- Go Eun. - She left saying she'd go home.
- Were you uncomfortable? - I just...
- It wasn't like that. - I was so surprised.
- I thought she was a ghost. - Why didn't you go somewhere else?
- Let me explain. - Okay.
I had made the plan with my friends before I met Sae Ho.
- We planned to go to a karaoke. - I see.
It's the karaoke I usually go to.
When I was leaving the bar,
they said they were going to a karaoke.
I had a feeling that they would go to the same karaoke.
So I took a taxi, ran to the karaoke,
- You went to another room. - and went into a room quickly.
But I clearly remember what she said.
When I asked where she was going, she said she'd go home.
But I saw her singing in the next room at the karaoke.
"What's going on?"
- "Did she hate me that much?" - She was afraid you might come.
She was afraid you might come.
Sae Ho, she didn't want you to come.
She tried to sing quietly too.
I knocked and opened the door.
Why did you open the door?
(He shouldn't have opened that door.)
(How will the story end?)
"What brings you here?"
(What brings you here?)
I said, "Gong Yoo is here too." Then she...
(A very unfortunate encounter)
(Go away.)
Sae Ho, you get this signal...
- quite often. - I really do.
- Ahn Young Mi did the same thing. - That's right. Not long ago,
I saw her eating in a restaurant at Itaewon with a man.
When I called her, she saw me and did this.
(Desperate hand gesture)
She asked me to leave...
to prevent anything bad from happening.
- My goodness. - My stomach hurts.
All right.
- She sang... - Was it funny?
- It was hilarious. - Was it okay?
(He can't stop laughing.)
- This is so much fun. - Is it?
- Please tell everyone around you. - This is Happy Together.
Go Eun, "Goblin" is...
one of the best dramas you played in. I enjoyed it so much.
There's a rumor that the cast members of "Goblin"...
pretend to be close to each other when they were on camera.
Is it true?
The older cast members of "Goblin"...
- are playful. - I see.
For example, when they saw me eating,
they said, "Are you eating again?" And they left.
- They can be very playful. - I see.
When they came up to me while I was eating and said,
"Is it good? Eat a lot."
Then I knew there was a camera filming us.
A camera?
- Filming a behind-the-scenes video? - Yes.
They suddenly came to me and said, "Are you hot? Isn't it too hot?"
I would've shaken off their hands like this.
But since I knew there was a camera,
I said, "It's okay. I'm fine."
You acted just like they did.
- "What about you?" - That's funny.
Like this.
What would you have said...
if there was no camera?
(She laughs first.)
"Of course, it's hot. Would it be cold in summer?"
(Of course, it's hot. Would it be cold in summer?)
(So realistic)
(They're like actual siblings.)
- Good. - Indeed.
Great. "Would it be cold?"
"It's hot in summer".
At last, he came on our show.
He's the standard of innocent looks. He's the icon of a beautiful man.
Hae In was really worried about being on a variety show.
- Was he? - Yes.
- Why? - I'm not good with words.
And I tend to become nervous very easily.
I'm saying this to make you relaxed,
but a single scene where you sigh...
will drew more attention than Sae Ho's jokes.
(His existence alone is enough.)
It will have more impact.
- I think we won't get any airtime. - Exactly.
Were you worried after getting invited to our show?
Yes, I was. This is something that I've never experienced before,
and I have never met you guys before.
- This is strange... - It's strange to you.
So I was a little worried.
It feels so different from filming a drama or a movie.
I heard that he's usually quiet,
- but he talked a lot to our writer. - Really?
- Really? - He talks when it's 1-on-1.
Our writer was also surprised.
- She didn't expect... - Because he was chatty?
Yes, because he talked a lot.
- Really? - She asked questions skillfully,
so I could give her long answers.
- I owe it to her. - What a comment. Gosh.
(He even has a good personality too.)
- I see. - Have you not seen any of us?
- We work at the same agency. - Exactly.
But I haven't seen him until now.
We've never met in person before.
Before he became popular through his drama,
he held a fan event.
- I made a video for the event. - You did?
I was so grateful.
- You don't have to say that. - When Jae Seok's video was played,
and he appeared on the screen, the fans cheered loudly.
(The fans cheered excitedly as Jae Seok appeared.)
I've been making a lot of videos,
but it was one of the best things I've done in my life.
(My past self, good job!)
Hae In became very successful after that.
- If you look back... - I'm happy that I did it.
I have met Hae In at a movie premiere event.
- Do you remember that? - Yes, at my movie premiere.
- I remember. - I was surprised by him.
Why?
It was after he became popular through "Something in the Rain".
He was already a top star as he is now.
He could've just said hi to me casually.
But he greeted me politely 10 times.
I wondered if there was someone else behind me.
He bowed so politely 10 times...
saying hello to me.
- Why did you bow so many times? - Why did you?
When Hyun Moo was on another TV show,
he talked about me a lot.
- "I Live Alone"? - Yes.
- I see. - I watched the episode too.
- Thank you for that. - He was grateful.
Oh, that's why.
I thought he was a very polite young man.
We haven't heard a heart-warming story about Hyun Moo for a while.
It's been one and a half years, right?
I think it's been that long. Right?
You must have been invited to many other variety shows.
But you had your own reason to choose Happy Together.
First of all, the four of us were going to be here together,
- so I felt relieved. - Of course.
Also, I'm a big fan of Jae Seok.
- You like Jae Seok. - Yes.
(He turned out to be Jae Seok's fan.)
And I believe that Jae Seok will make me feel comfortable here.
- Don't worry about it. - I trust him.
I'm going to make you relaxed...
- until you feel so relaxed... - You can trust him.
that you sit like this.
- You might feel sleepy though. - I'll help you relax.
(A while later, it actually happens.)
(The Way Jae Seok Helps Hae In Relax)
(1. Pouring compliments)
(He's on pins and needles.)
(That's mine.)
(2. Nitpicking at him)
(The newbie entertainer's funny moments will be revealed.)
She's a veteran actress...
who is famous in the theater industry. Kim Guk Hui is here too.
(This is her first appearance on a variety show.)
Please say hello to our viewers.
Hello.
I play in theater plays, dramas, and movies.
I'm Kim Guk Hui. It's nice to see you all.
- Why did you laugh, Go Eun? - Me?
She was so cute.
Go Eun must like her very much.
Guk Hui won the Best Supporting Actress award...
for two years in a row...
- at the musical awards. - Oh, my.
She's already been acknowledged for her acting skills.
- But people don't recognize her. - Is that so?
It's true. Many staff members didn't recognize me earlier today.
We didn't recognize her either.
- She was standing at the back. - Yes, I was.
This is your first appearance on a variety show.
I heard that she made our staff laugh so much...
- in the pre-interview. - Really?
They're hoping many people will know about her through this show.
- I see. - That's what we were told.
- Many people will know you. - Our writers never lie.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Last but not least, she played in "Heard It Through the Grapevine",
"Something in the Rain", and "Romance Is a Bonus Book",
building up her acting career.
Eugene, please say hello to our viewers.
Viewers of Happy Together, hello.
I'm Actress Jung Eugene. Thank you.
(I'm Actress Jung Eugene.)
Did you ask someone for advice on being on Happy Together?
I've been filming a drama.
Moon Geun Young plays in the drama too.
- You're working with her. - Yes, we're working together.
I was too worried.
What did Geun Young say to you?
She said I could just relax.
She found it difficult at first,
but she had a good time on the show.
(Happy Together doesn't bite.)
Geun Young texted me last night.
- Really? - Since Eugene would be here,
- Really? - she asked me to help her.
Oh, my. Did she?
She said Eugene is down-to-earth.
She told me to make sure...
to hear Eugene sing.
She said Eugene sings amazingly.
- Really? - Yes.
She said Eugene is a great singer,
- Many of our guests are. - so we should hear her sing.
(The other guests are encouraging her to sing.)
What? My goodness.
By the way, Geun Young told her to be comfortable...
and created an uncomfortable situation.
(She created a very uncomfortable situation.)
- She gave me many tips. - That's right.
- "Make her sing a pop song." - These tips are...
quite precious to us.
- That's right. - It's a nice tip.
Eugene, we will look forward...
- to your performance. - Please prepare yourself.
I will do my best.
- Yes! - That's great.
All right.
Will we hear Hae In sing as well?
We should hear it.
(What will be Hae In's answer?)
I will do my best.
(I will do my best.)
- My goodness. - He is cool.
(It's like a festival.)
- My goodness. - We rented the perfect place.
(That miraculous moment is coming soon.)
(Hae In captivates women's hearts.)
(Go Eun has been to the karaoke quite often.)
(Eugene has the singing skills Geun Young swore upon.)
(Stay with us with "Happy Together Music Album".)
The guests who aren't used to variety shows...
decided to visit Happy Together. It seems like...
Happy Together is well-known among actors...
as the best program for promotion.
All movies and dramas that were promoted on the show...
- became successful. - They became a hit.
- Yes. - "Miss Baek", "Intimate Strangers",
"Doctor Prisoner", "What's Wrong, Poongsang?",
and "My Prettiest Daughter in the World" became a hit.
All of those movies and dramas became successful.
It would be great if we become more successful.
We only make others become successful.
The four of you are in a movie,
"Tune in for Love".
I am really curious about the plot.
Hae In, why don't you tell us as the representative?
The movie, "Tune in for Love",
captures the moments from the mid-1990s...
to the early-2000s.
(Life was beautiful and warm back then.)
Through the radio, a man and a woman...
adjust their frequency...
throughout their lives.
What's the genre?
It's a melodrama.
- Melodrama. - Yes.
Are you a producer?
Go Eun said it so firmly. "It's a melodrama."
(The AI robot, Kim Go Eun)
A robot would be friendlier.
I haven't seen you in a while, but you are still quite firm. Okay.
Go Eun, is there a reason why you decided to join the cast?
Director Jung Ji Woo said...
- one thing. - What did he say?
"I am confident in my ability..."
- "I will do that." - "to make you shine in this movie."
"I will capture your moment of life."
(I am confident in my ability to make you shine in this movie.)
That's why I said, "Okay."
What he said is very cool.
- "I can make you shine." - "I am confident."
You heard later on that Hae In joined the cast.
- Yes. - You joined the cast first.
Yes. When I heard the news about Hae In joining the cast,
I was very happy.
Hae In,
you knew that you would act alongside Go Eun.
Is that why you decided to star in the movie?
- Yes. - You didn't read the script.
To be honest, I knew that...
Go Eun would star in the movie.
When I read the script,
I imagined the character as Go Eun.
The script was very touching.
When I met the director,
I got the sense that I had to be in this movie.
Before we parted ways, I asked him...
- for his number. - "I have to be in this movie."
Yes. I told him that I wanted to be in this movie.
Go Eun and Hae In met...
in "Goblin".
(The two actors met in "Goblin".)
(Hae In played Go Eun's first love.)
I almost didn't recognize you.
Hae In was very thankful for Go Eun back then.
Yes. Back then, Go Eun's schedule was packed...
because she was in many scenes.
I could leave...
after attending the shoot for a short while.
Even though she was tired...
and in no condition to look after the others,
she looked after me.
She looked after the staff members.
She told me, "If an opportunity comes up,"
"I hope to see you at a set again."
To me,
it meant a lot.
- Do you remember that? - Do you remember that?
Even if you don't remember, you should say that you do.
- I do. - It was a chicken restaurant.
She remembers.
- She looks after the others. - She is really good at it.
- Really? - Really?
She is really good at it.
My goodness.
- You want her to keep going. - No, no.
She looks after the others.
Why did you want to see him again?
Well...
It didn't necessarily mean that I wanted to see him again.
I just thought...
- our meeting was too brief. - Your meeting was too brief.
I hoped we would work together longer...
the next time we meet.
(She hoped that they would meet as the same cast.)
That was why I said those words.
But you didn't say those words to everyone.
Still...
Why are you making her uncomfortable?
Shall we ask him to leave the room?
What is your problem?
He shouldn't do that to the guests.
How could you make her uncomfortable when you have met her before?
Gosh, I will apologize to her.
You should be careful.
When Go Eun was starring in "Goblin",
she learned that Hae In joined the cast...
and said something to the director.
"My character, Eun Tak, likes handsome men."
I said that.
You said that upon learning that Hae In joined the cast.
- You learned about your character. - He is very handsome.
He looks great,
so I said, "My character, Eun Tak, likes handsome men."
I said that.
- It was a joke. - Yes.
There are people with a pure first impression.
He looked...
as if he had just washed his face.
That was the first impression I got from him.
Thank you.
You know, Hae In is wearing a white T-shirt and jeans today.
It's a simple look, but it makes him look cool.
- I understand what Go Eun means. - I know. I understand.
(His handsome face makes him look fashionable.)
(Laughing)
Why are you laughing?
Is it something we said?
No. Back then,
I filmed the scene in which I met my character's first love...
and returned to the set.
Apparently, the staff members teased...
Gong Yoo.
(Did the staff members tease Gong Yoo?)
"We saw Go Eun's brightest smile yet."
(They had never seen Go Eun smile so brightly.)
- Gong Yoo. - He must have been jealous.
Gong Yoo said,
"I heard you showed your brightest smile yet."
It was a smile that came from your heart.
- You couldn't help but smile. - That's right.
- "That's right." - "I couldn't help it."
- You admitted it. - You can't hide it.
What would you have said to the director...
if Sae Ho played the main character?
- Let's hear it. - Tell us comfortably.
(What if Sae Ho played the main character?)
(I want to confess my love on the right day.)
(I ask for your permission.)
"My character cares about the personality."
Personality!
(My character cares about the personality.)
(Sae Ho becomes the king of personality.)
- Personality. - That's what she cares about.
- Personality. - All right.
- That's nice. - She doesn't care about the looks.
Go Eun said Hae In had a pure first impression.
Hae In, what was Go Eun's first impression?
- She is expectant. - She was...
She was like a young girl.
I saw her for the first time on the set of "Goblin".
She was like a young energetic girl.
She was cute. I saw her as her character...
since I was a fan of "Goblin" myself.
That made you well-suited to play her character's first love.
Eugene, this is the second time...
- you are working with Hae In. - Really?
- Yes. - "Something in the Rain".
She met him for the first time through "Something in the Rain".
You played a character who has a crush on him.
- Yes. - I see.
- How was it? - I had not watched...
Hae In's previous shows at that time.
(She had not seen Hae In before.)
I read the script...
and saw him for the first time at the read-through.
He was so well-suited for the role...
and thought the director did an amazing job.
While it's just acting,
actors say that...
playing a character who has a crush...
fills your heart with rage at times.
- Doesn't it make your heart ache? - That could happen.
- If you are too absorbed. - Doesn't that happen with you?
I have played that character too many times.
Did you often play a character who has a crush?
I played many characters who has a crush.
You never played a character another character has a crush on.
That's right. It was always the other way around.
I am sure the characters who have a crush...
aren't all the same.
But is there a trait, facial expression, or line...
they share?
They often stare at someone's back.
I see.
They often stare at someone's back.
- I see. - Someone's back.
- That's so sad. - I know.
- The main character always leaves. - That's right.
He gets a call from his girlfriend and leaves.
Then your character gets disappointed.
It's just acting, but it sounds heartbreaking.
Since I am absorbed in my role, my heart aches.
- I see. - I heard that...
Hae In is loyal.
I heard that he made you feel deeply moved once.
Yes. After "Something in the Rain",
I was starring in another drama.
It was a hot day.
The staff members came to me and said, "Thanks for the coffee."
They said that and left.
I didn't know what was going on.
Then the director said, "The coffee from Jung Hae In..."
"tastes good."
I had no idea.
I went out and saw that...
Hae In had sent a coffee truck for me.
- He didn't tell you in advance. - No.
My goodness.
I posted a photo...
- of me bowing. - You didn't tell her in advance.
- We are in the same agency. - Right.
I asked her manager about her schedule.
- You asked. - Yes.
It was my first time...
- to receive a coffee truck. - You must have felt deeply moved.
I was like, "So this is how it feels."
I was so thankful.
- That's a great thing to do. - The truck had churros...
- as well as coffee, right? - That's right. It was really tasty.
- You are obsessed with the menu. - You know,
- I am like that. - He paid attention to the menu.
- Also, - What is it?
Go Eun sent me a coffee truck.
We are with a group of coffee truck enthusiasts.
You all send a coffee truck to each other.
They are coffee truck enthusiasts.
Like Eugene,
I had no idea. That day,
I was so busy with the shoot.
I was at the set.
I learned later that the coffee truck was outside.
- I see. - You are each other's Secret Santa.
I had no idea.
Go Eun, you said it's fun to tease Hae In.
- She's teasing him here too. - I think she teases him often.
I am disappointed...
that it isn't so apparent since there are too many cameras.
Shall we remove the cameras?
- We can use a smartphone. - How will we film the show?
We can use a smartphone.
I go, "You are so cool."
"You are so cool." I say that repeatedly.
"You are so cool."
Then he doesn't know what to do.
- I know what you mean. - His reaction.
- His reaction is funny. - Yes.
- You are so cool. - He did that earlier.
- You are so cool. - You are so handsome.
Your bracelet looks cool.
- You are the best. - You are the best.
His teeth are very straight.
- Jung Hae In! - Jung Hae In!
We are ridiculous.
You have such nice skin.
Go Eun and people around him know that...
he is like this,
so they continue to tease him.
- He is cute when he is flustered. - It's so much fun.
- Are you sweating? - It's hot.
- Is it hot? - Yes.
- You are cool. - You are cool even if you are hot.
This is good. I got the hang of it.
- Go Eun gave us an important tip. - Yes.
Okay. We now know what we need to do to bring out...
Hae In's true charms.
He really looks cute when he is flustered.
This is how you do it.
(Hae In looks for something.)
- What? - That's mine.
Oh, okay.
(Jae Seok continues to tease him.)
(Hae In is flustered.)
Are you okay?
I get it. This is how you do it.
- He won't drink your water. - I see.
He became sullen.
I was joking.
Hae In can't take a joke.
- He is serious. - So...
Right, Go Eun? He can't take a joke.
He didn't even touch my water.
His nickname is Scholar Jung.
- I see. - It suits him.
He is upright. Even when we joke around,
he remains serious.
When I watched him on TV,
I thought he would be sexy.
- He appeared that way on TV. - Yes.
"He is like science fiction."
- You said that with your friends. - Science fiction?
- "There is no way he exists." - I see.
"There is no way he exists in real life."
He is incredibly polite in person.
Because he doesn't talk much,
he is very atmospheric. He was like the man of fall...
when he entered the set with fallen leaves.
- Is he taciturn in real life? - Yes.
Does he talk more when you become close to him?
Hae In, are you taciturn?
Yes. I don't talk much.
Are you usually like that?
I usually don't talk much.
You talk a lot when you meet up with your close friends, right?
Men can get quite talkative.
I tend to listen.
- Really? He is like a scholar. - I see.
It's good to have a friend like him.
During the interview, you described Hae In as cheonggukjang.
Why is that?
There is a cheonggukjang restaurant that I went to since university.
It suddenly came to my mind,
so I said he is like cheonggukjang...
from that restaurant.
What about him reminded you of cheonggukjang?
I like cheonggukjang.
The more you boil it, the tastier it gets.
- He is genuine. - He is genuine.
It doesn't have to be cheonggukjang. It can be doenjang stew.
Seaweed soup and beef bone soup work too.
- Seaweed soup? - Beef bone soup?
In any case, he is a stew or soup.
Beef bone soup is the best. It's cooked for a long time.
That's how...
- heartwarming and genuine he is. - I see.
What will Hae In say?
Hae In, how would you describe Go Eun?
- What is she like? - What is she like?
She is like a lily.
- A white lily. - Yes.
It's a beautiful analogy.
I don't even know what it looks like.
How would you describe Guk Hui?
Do I need to describe everyone?
That's right.
- You have to do it. - It's a segment.
You need to start from here and go all the way to there.
You need to do it for the cameraman too.
- Get ready. - What was your first impression?
Give us a short description of what she is like.
The icon of consideration.
- The icon of consideration. - She is considerate.
On the set, she is very considerate...
of the fellow actors.
- The icon of consideration. - Yes.
How about Eugene?
Her facial expressions and energy have...
- a wide range. - I see.
So how would you put it?
A woman of many charms.
- A woman of many charms. - My goodness.
It's a good one, Eugene.
- Thank you. - A woman of many charms.
Had we come up with that title,
everyone would have said it's unoriginal.
How about Yoon Hee?
We met for the first time today.
- She is expectant. - You are beautiful.
Thank you.
(Nervous)
Stop making him nervous. What is your problem?
I am not making him nervous.
He is struggling.
- A rose. - A rose.
- Your outfit makes it fitting. - Thank you.
- I couldn't help but laugh... - A rose!
because his eyes shifted for a second.
- He looked at you. - He wanted me...
to tell him that he can stop.
But...
I let him keep going.
He glanced over at me a few times.
It was so much fun.
Since we don't see him often on a variety show,
- we must ask this question. - That's right.
Please answer honestly.
- What is Hae In like? - Right.
I should let go of my image, right?
(Variety Show Fairy)
Please go ahead.
That's how you make a successful variety show.
That's how you promote your movie.
What is Hae In like?
Would it be okay?
(The Variety Show Fairy gets started.)
- She's getting ready. - It looks like he is nervous.
Hae In is serious,
taciturn,
and shy.
So it comes as a surprise that he is a manly man.
Really?
(He is a manly man.)
It makes you go, "What?"
- He isn't only gentle. - That's right.
I think she says that because I don't act cute.
I have a younger sibling.
I am the first child.
- Here is what I think. - Yoon Hee.
- Their movie is a melodrama. - Yes.
There must be a scene that shows physical intimacy.
That must have been...
- when she felt Hae In's manliness. - That was sharp.
Maybe he gave her a strong hug.
Maybe.
- I remembered something. - Okay.
- Now we are talking. - That's good!
- So... - We are getting stories.
He looks as if he can't drink a drop of alcohol.
That's right.
But he can hold his liquor.
- It's unexpected. - So...
he is completely fine even after he drinks a lot.
How much can you drink?
I can't drink a lot. I like beer, but...
Go Eun said you can drink a lot.
I can drink a bottle and a half of soju.
- That's pretty impressive. - He can hold his liquor.
He is completely fine after a bottle and a half, right?
Are you completely fine?
It wasn't...
a comfortable get-together.
There were staff members.
It felt like a continuation of work,
so I couldn't get drunk.
- You couldn't get drunk. - No.
I can't believe a man with that face can hold his liquor.
- That's his surprise. - Do you have any drunken habits?
Does your face turn red?
- I repeat what I said. - Do you repeat what you said?
I repeat what I said and fall asleep.
That's not much of a drunken habit.
Hae In said Go Eun livened up the mood...
at the set.
Go Eun and the director are close...
because they have worked together.
She is mischievous.
- Really? - Yes, she is like that.
- Does she pull pranks? - She pulls many pranks.
She does it to me. She makes me embarrassed.
That's hilarious.
How does she make you embarrassed?
She compliments me endlessly.
- She compliments you endlessly. - Yes.
She monitors my performance and goes, "It's really nice."
"Your performance is the bomb."
I don't talk that way.
When he enters the set...
(She cheers and claps.)
"You are so cool!"
(You are so cool!)
- My goodness. - It wasn't directed at me,
but I feel annoyed.
- It was a bit... - She did exactly that.
- She did exactly that. - Really?
- How did you feel? - "You are so cool!"
I felt like going back home.
(It's fun to tease Hae In.)
"My goodness." I continue to do that.
It takes some time to become close to Go Eun,
- but she can be a good friend. - I can see that.
Apparently, she said,
"I can liven up the mood."
"I know how to be witty and engaging." -
- My goodness. - Why do you keep being this way?
Did you say that or not?
"I know how to be witty and engaging."
I think I do.
"I say the right thing at the right time."
She said, "I say the right thing at the right time."
I don't say much, but...
Your words are effective.
I wait for the right time and say something.
It makes me happy when people laugh.
- It makes you happy. - "It makes me happy."
She bursts out laughing on her own.
- It's very important. - Yes.
She knows when to enter and leave the conversation.
She enters and leaves at the right time.
You can't do that.
- I... - You only enter.
- You only enter. - You don't leave.
I see.
- I will try to change. - Okay.
I heard that Go Eun and Hae In had...
the perfect chemistry.
I heard it showed at the afterparty.
What happened?
Go Eun came up with the idea.
We had an afterparty.
Since the crew worked really hard,
she thought we should prepare gifts for them.
(They prepared the gifts together.)
- She came up with the idea. - She's sweet.
So we shopped together at a grocery store.
(They went to a grocery store and shopped together.)
So we joked to each other...
that it was like playing the rich.
We put all kinds of things into the cart.
What were the gifts?
We bought different kinds of things.
They could win those as prizes during games.
- Nice. - Like a lucky draw.
But you had to be the youngest to join the game.
(Only the youngest member of each team could join.)
Only the youngest member of each team could join the game.
That's a great idea.
There was a tablet.
- A tablet. - There was a laptop too.
That's why it felt like we were playing the rich.
People really love...
- tablet computers. - It's very expensive too.
It says here that you two play well together too.
- What does that mean? - It's...
not just us two. It applies to all four of us.
We all like socializing over drinks.
You are similar.
Yes. When a shoot ends,
we drink with the film crew...
and talk about this and that.
We all like that,
so we get along very well.
Your parties must be fun.
I heard Eugene would go to any lengths...
to make it to the party.
- You'd go to any lengths? - She'd go to any lengths.
In the film,
my role isn't that big.
I didn't have to go to many shoots.
I think I went to more parties than shoots.
One day, Go Eun was treating the crew to sashimi in Wolmido.
She was treating the whole crew because they worked hard.
- She's generous. - So I...
- ran there as soon as I finished. - You ran there.
You went all the way to Wolmido for sashimi.
- Where were you? - I had a shoot the next morning.
- I gave up sleep and went there. - I was so surprised.
She must love sashimi so much.
Actually,
I love the people I met...
through this film.
Including the director, everyone is so nice.
- The fellow actors are amazing too. - It must be so fun.
So hanging out with them energizes me.
That's why I never miss it.
- I see. - Go Eun is always fun,
but I heard...
she becomes even more fun when she drinks.
- I am sure. - Right.
- What are you like? - I become even bubblier.
I become bubblier.
I get hyper.
She loves to sing and dance.
It's not exactly a bad habit, but when she drinks,
she gets excited, and she goes to a karaoke.
- A karaoke. - She loves to sing.
You sing well too.
I always go to a karaoke for the second round.
- Karaoke. - Yes.
Do you have a karaoke repertoire?
What is the song you make sure to sing?
Let's say you went to karaoke with people here.
- I know it's uncomfortable. - You must feel bad about it.
We tagged along.
Yes. You are uncomfortable with us, but we tagged along.
Am I sober?
- You are drunk. - You are a little tipsy.
"Press the digits."
"Breathe".
(Lee Hi's "Breathe")
Does looking at us make you sigh?
- "Why am I here?" - "Breathe".
(Go Eun's performance of "Breathe")
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E45 Happy Together S4 "Happy Together Music Album" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(It will be revealed shortly. Stay tuned.)
Shooting "Tune in for Love",
there must've been a lot of behind-the-scene stories.
Did you lose 8kg for this film?
I lost what I gained for the last film.
And shot this film.
For the last film, you had to gain weight.
Yes. I had to be chubby.
- For "Sunset in My Hometown". - Right.
Wasn't it hard to gain weight and to lose weight again?
- Isn't it very hard? - How do you lose 8kg?
Gaining weight is just as tough.
I love eating.
I was really happy when I was gaining weight.
- It wasn't hard. - It wasn't.
- It made me really happy. - You got to eat the night snacks.
I could just wake up at night and eat ramyeon.
You eat ramyeon.
I really like ramyeon.
And...
When I was losing weight, I watched eating shows every night.
(She gained comfort by watching eating shows.)
You watched them for vicarious satisfaction.
- You didn't eat. - I cried. "I want to eat it too."
Isn't it torturing? Isn't it better to not watch it?
When you keep watching it,
it feels like you've eaten the food.
I heard Hae In loves to eat too.
You look like you would always eat chicken breast.
You give that impression.
I think you would strictly manage your diet.
I love eating.
I work out hard to enjoy food.
- You are that type. - Yes.
What kind of food do you like?
- I like meat. - Meat.
There's pork and beef. What kind of meat do you like?
- I prefer pork. - Pork.
(We should get him some pork.)
Something fatty like pork belly.
When you were younger,
you ate a whole box of chocolate pie in one sitting.
That was when I was a private in the army.
I used to crave for sweet things.
- Chocolate pie is the best. - I ate one box...
with 500ml of milk. There were about 24 pies in 1 box.
You ate all of those?
I ate everything in one sitting.
(He finished everything in one sitting.)
Didn't you gain weight?
I gained a lot of weight. I gained about 12kg.
- You were the biggest then. - Yes.
Do you enjoy eating alone?
- Yes. I love eating alone. - Is that right?
Do you eat outside? Or do you eat at home.
- I go to a barbecue restaurant. - You must really love meat.
- You go for meat barbecue alone? - Yes.
- You barbecue meat alone? - Yes.
- You put kimchi on the grill too? - Yes.
Even for people who are used to it, eating a barbecue alone...
- is considered tough. - Right.
- It's tough. - It is.
- I just go to a corner... - And you eat alone.
Yes. These days,
there are many restaurants tailored for...
- those who eat alone. - There are many restaurants.
I heard the lady at the restaurant felt bad for you...
- and grilled the meat for you. - Right.
- "You came alone again?" - They usually...
don't grill it for you.
But she came to me and cheered me up by grilling it for me.
- She cheered you up. - She grilled it for you?
Yes. She grilled it and cut it for me.
They don't usually do that.
How far have you gone with eating alone?
I haven't gone to a buffet yet.
- A buffet. - That's really not easy.
Can you manage to go to a buffet?
I want to give it a try.
(He's determined.)
The toughest by far is eating alone at a family restaurant.
That's not easy.
I wonder what the others are like.
Can you go to a restaurant alone, Go Eun?
I like doing everything alone.
But I don't like eating alone.
- You don't like eating alone. - It's better to eat together.
- Right. - She's cute.
I think she just wants to eat different things at one time.
She wants to take other people's food.
- She'd order different dishes. - I'd order several dishes.
You are starting to relax.
(He is adjusting to the variety show.)
He's starting to talk up.
You starred in "One Spring Night" with Han Ji Min recently.
Ji Min said you are proud about your barbecuing skill.
Yes. I really love meat, and I eat a lot of meat.
So I developed barbecuing skills.
- How? - I take the tongs and scissors.
I know that.
Whenever I go to a barbecue restaurant...
and there's someone like me, I compete with the person.
- We have a war of nerves. - That's me.
There are people who like to hold onto the tongs.
So I always do the barbecuing.
How do you barbecue meat well?
What is your secret?
I think it depends on the griddle and the strength of the fire.
Let's say it's a cauldron lid.
- It's slanted. - We're grilling pork belly.
It's a slanted griddle.
That's for rookies.
(Hae In is the master of barbecue.)
What kind of griddle would experienced barbecuers choose?
You have to heat up the griddle first.
Usually, on a slanted griddle,
(You have to choose the meat according to the griddle.)
- you cook pork. - Right.
Before placing the meat...
You coat it with fat.
You can't flip the meat often.
You have to wait a long time. I get very impatient.
- You can't do that. That's bad. - I flip, flip, flip, and flip.
That's the worst.
- For the first time, Go Eun... - What is it?
looked at me with contempt.
It would lose all the juice.
So I shouldn't do that? I am too impatient to wait.
- What should we do then? - What should we do then?
You only flip it once. You have to sear the outside.
if it's a thick cut, you sear all four sides.
- You lock in the juice. - Yes.
You can cut it into small pieces from the start.
You have to cut it into big chunks and then cut them smaller.
I don't know when to flip it once I place it on the griddle.
If you are not sure, check it from time to time by lifting it up.
I do that too often though. I just keep lifting it.
If the meat is a thin slice, flip it when blood comes up.
When the blood comes up.
- What about a thick cut? - You have to...
check the cooked side.
- Lift it up slightly. - It shouldn't be burnt.
Do you usually eat the meat with salt?
Or do you make a wrap?
I eat it with salt.
You eat it with salt.
You like to taste the meat.
Do you put a slice of garlic or not?
Are you interrogating him?
It's just that I am curious about everything he does.
Does he put a slice of garlic on top?
In my case, I wrap the meat with kimchi and eat it with rice.
- That's very delicious. - That's delicious.
That's really good.
Are you not happy with it, Go Eun?
No, it sounds too delicious.
(It's making me dizzy.)
You must enjoy cooking at home too.
I don't think you would always get food delivered.
I like getting food delivered. I like cooking too.
I don't cook too well.
- What do you cook? - I am slowly getting started.
What would you cook on a day like this? Saturday night.
It's being aired on Thursday night,
but we are shooting it on Saturday.
What would you order if you were at home today?
- What would I order? - Yes.
What would be nice?
(Jokbal)
- Jokbal. - Jokbal.
- Jokbal. - That sounds good.
- Jokbal. - It must be...
around midnight when this is airing.
(Spicy jokbal)
What would you eat then?
Spicy jokbal.
After midnight, you go for spicy food.
Something else?
(Is there any other answer?)
- Tteokbokki. - Tteokbokki.
(Go Eun doesn't approve it.)
- I think they like... - They like spicy food.
- meat dishes. - Stir-fried tripe.
- They like spicy food. - It seems like they prefer meat.
- Spicy food. - Stir-fried vegetables and tripe.
- That's good. - You like spicy food.
- I like spicy food. - Right?
Hae In, you did something special for the movie too.
I had to act the character in different time periods.
I wanted to feel the sentiment of each period.
So I listened to a lot of music from each time.
I listened to a lot of music of Lee Moon Sae and Kim Kwang Seok.
(He focused on his character through music.)
- Right. - I listened...
on the way to the shoot.
- It's amazing. - There are many masterpieces.
- Too many. - Which song of Lee Moon Sae?
There are so many great songs. I love "Girl".
- There are too many good songs. - Right.
Since Hae In loves...
to listen to the songs from the 90s.
Right.
Can you sing it for us?
Please sing for us.
Now?
- Just a little bit. - You can do it now.
You have to do it now.
(Kim Kwang Seok's "With a Heart that Should Forget")
(Dewdrops quietly flow)
I will stop here.
You don't need to lower the key.
Bravo!
- Bravo, Hae In! - Bravo.
Bravo, Hae In!
You made it to the next round!
Geun Young personally asked me.
- I have to ask Eugene to sing. - I can't wait to hear it.
She said Eugene sings really well.
- I don't sing well at all. - I am sorry,
but please sing an English pop song.
- An English pop song? - An English pop song.
- An English pop song. - An English pop song.
- An English pop. - I heard you sing pop songs well.
I will give it a try.
- Of course. - Which one are you singing?
"What's Up".
- "What's Up". - It's 4 Non Blondes' song.
You need to sing well...
to handle this song.
She must've been to karaokes often.
She's good.
Join me.
I will stop here.
Please finish that part.
That was so funny.
You are really good, Eugene.
- She's got a beautiful voice. - You look like a music bar owner.
She...
- She does. - Her voice changes slightly.
(She had impressive singing techniques.)
- Her voice was... - As a musician myself,
I could tell she has great skills.
From the side, I could tell...
that Go Eun was getting excited.
- Let's go, Go Eun. - Please show us.
Let's go!
(Goblin's first love, Go Eun will perform.)
(What do I do?)
- "Breathe"? - Eugene performed too.
- Do you want to perform "Breathe"? - You can just do it relaxedly.
- Which one? - Lee Hi's "Breathe"?
She sings "Breathe" well.
(Lee Hi's "Breathe")
(Someone's breath)
(That heavy breath)
(It's okay, I will hug you)
You are amazing!
Wait.
- She's good. - They need to release an album.
- Seriously. - Seriously.
They all sing so well.
I have more faith in the film now.
Great.
Hae In doesn't just listen to the songs from the 90s.
When he gets obsessed with one song,
he listens to it all the time.
I listen to that one song...
- in the car and at home. - You just listen to one song?
Which song are you obsessed with these days?
These days, I'm into Paul Kim's songs.
- Paul Kim. - His songs are amazing.
- "Every Day, Every Moment"? - Yes.
He's got so many good songs.
Can you sing one bar of his song?
- One bar? - After I met you
(Hae In's "Me After You")
(Their hearts race.)
(After I met you small changes make me happy)
(The bright morning dazzles me)
(I start the day thinking about you)
Shouldn't he become a singer?
- His voice is incredible. - His voice is really nice.
His voice is really nice.
His voice is perfect for singing songs like that.
Guk Hui, were there moments during the shoot...
that made you realize why Hae In is so popular?
In the film,
there was a scene where I reunited with him.
I had to look at him and say, "You look great."
We haven't seen each other for a long time.
But he was actually handsome.
(She means it.)
He really was handsome.
I had to be surprised at how handsome he was...
and talk while touching his body.
I saw that scene recently.
I looked like I was genuinely happy.
(She really meant it.)
I was really happy.
I wasn't acting.
Right now, you look really happy when you look at him.
- Yes. - You are short of breath too.
- He was really handsome. - Did you feel that too?
I felt it during the shoot.
(He felt it.)
He felt it.
Guk Hui was staring at him...
with such lovely eyes.
- And Hae In felt it. - How could he not know?
(She didn't need to act.)
"Tune in for Love" is a love story of a man and a woman.
We're curious about how you are when it comes to love.
We prepared a scenario for you all.
Just like in the movie,
you run into your former ex-boyfriend or girlfriend...
when it's been quite a long time.
It was a chance encounter and you want to hold onto them.
What would you do?
"Tune in for Love" is a love story of a man and a woman.
We're curious about how you are when it comes to love.
We prepared a scenario for you all.
Just like in the movie,
you run into your former ex-boyfriend or girlfriend...
when it's been quite a long time.
It was a chance encounter and you want to hold onto them.
What would you do?
Let's start with Go Eun. What would you do...
if it were you in that situation?
Sae Ho, why don't you help her out?
- Should I? - You're quite good at acting.
("Eating Goblin")
(Ji Eun Tak played by Kim Go Eun)
(Eating Goblin played by Cho Sae Ho)
(What was with his step just now?)
Who glances at their first love like that?
It's been a while.
Right, it's been a while.
How have you been?
- Yes, I have. - Right.
It seems like you want to see him leave.
It's as if she'll run off any time now.
You don't want to let him go.
You want to hold onto him,
- Go Eun. - At least make an effort.
Well, it's late. I should get going.
He's leaving, so make him stay.
Bye, Go Eun.
Sae Ho...
(Sae Ho...)
(He's acting to the best of his ability.)
Why?
(His poor acting is hard for her to tolerate.)
(What will she say now that she has his attention?)
- It's nothing. - What?
(It's nothing.)
No, tell me. What do you mean by that?
- "It's nothing." - Money.
- She wants money. - Gosh.
That's hilarious.
- Nothing? Then I'm leaving. - "It's nothing."
- She's like, "Sure, go ahead." - Then how's this?
Would it be easier for you if Hae In acted the scene?
Hae In, go ahead.
Wait, is my turn over?
- Yes. - I see.
She told you to leave. Hae In, walk by from over there.
- That's right. - Go Eun can't get into character.
- In no way... - It's hard for even veterans.
I could tell that Go Eun tried hard to get into character.
Of course. Some things are just impossible.
(A first love full of excitement)
(They meet again as if it were a miracle.)
(She slowly gets into character.)
Hi.
(Hi.)
Right.
It's been a while.
- I know. - How have you been?
(Their delicate emotions make it look like a scene from a movie.)
- Well... - You've gotten cooler!
(The audience is entertained.)
- Gosh. - Did you see that?
It's working. Anyway, now Hae In...
will find this awkward and leave.
- You should leave now. - Right.
I'll see you around then.
Where are you off to?
(Where are you off to? Do you have plans?)
Do you have plans?
Should I stay then?
(Should I stay then?)
- Should I stay then? - Yes.
(Hearts are fluttering.)
You gave in too easily.
- Go Eun, I'm off. - He's leaving.
Bye.
(Variety Show Fairy)
(She couldn't be more nonchalant.)
Goodbye.
(Just like that, Eating Goblin goes back to nonexistence.)
- However... - You know...
- I felt it though. - Right.
- She's straightforward. - Yes, exactly.
Now that we've had fun acting out a scene,
let's go ahead and learn a little more about them.
First, we'll start with Go Eun.
You're a working actor now,
but you once dreamed of working on movie sets.
That's right. Ever since I was a kid,
my dad showed me many movies.
I grew to love movies so much...
that I wanted to become someone...
who makes those movies that I enjoyed.
I used to be quite shy as a kid...
and I was never the type to be good at what was ordered.
It's why I didn't even imagine...
of becoming an actor.
My teacher suggested that I try acting in a play,
and that's how I got started.
I hear that you're known to be meticulous and well-prepared.
Is it true that you practiced every day in high school?
What kind of practice?
I get embarrassed very easily and I'm shy most of the time.
When I first met my teacher who was going to train me...
for the college entrance exam,
everyone in the class was told...
to sing what they had prepared for that day.
I'm not one to do such activities in front of strangers.
- It's embarrassing. - Right.
After hearing my song, I was told that I had weak vocalization.
Deep inside though, I thought that it's because...
I didn't show everything I had to offer.
- How do you put it? - You have pride.
Yes, and that took over my mind.
I promised myself to show her how good my vocalization can be.
From that day on, I ran 20 laps around the school field every day.
You do what you put your mind to.
Was it before classes?
- No, after school was over. - You ran 20 laps after school?
Just to have better vocalization?
Did it help with your vocalization though?
Yes, a lot.
- That's amazing. - It's impressive.
(The shy girl's tear-jerking hard work)
(She pulls off sweet characters...)
(as well as characters who touch your heart.)
It's me.
(Her passion and hard work pushed her to the top.)
Hae In must've been born to become an actor...
because his career started by chance.
How did you first step foot in the industry?
It all started with a business card...
I received in front of an ice cream store.
- These anecdotes... - I know.
It just seems too unrealistic.
Well, just so you know,
I didn't get good grades in school back then.
It's why I needed another path...
to walk on in my life.
I persuaded my parents and went to take the test.
Reading words and expressing written words...
came to me as quite a shock.
It triggered my interest and that's when I began my training.
So that one business card led to your debut.
If it weren't for that card,
you could've majored in biotechnology.
Yes, that was my initial choice,
but I chose a completely different route.
I believe I got lucky with my college admittance...
which is why my lack of training was exposed in college.
The other students had been training for years.
- Right. - Some even started...
to study acting in middle school.
It's how I knew I got lucky with my college admittance.
I lacked in so many ways compared to my classmates...
that I knew I wouldn't make it if I didn't work twice as hard.
You have this good-boy image about you...
and that also seems evident in the way you talk.
What was the biggest trouble you caused your parents...
in your school days?
- In my school days? - Yes.
I changed the course of my major so drastically...
that my parents weren't fond of it.
Were they against you becoming an actor?
- Is that it? - Yes.
Other than that...
Was your father completely against it?
Did he tell you not to become an actor?
But then my parents came by with flowers one day...
to a show I put on in college.
They were on the verge of tears too.
"You looked amazing, son."
"This is something you should pursue."
(He was later than most to the dream of becoming an actor.)
It's Jin Ah I wish to see.
(Slowly but steadily, he built his own acting career.)
Come to me like you did today.
(He is now an actor who always delivers.)
You debuted at 26 which we tend to forget because you look young.
Were you nervous to have debuted at an older age?
Debuting at 26 isn't on the younger side.
Many prepare for this way before college.
I signed with an agency only after graduation...
and even after I had completed my military duties.
People normally begin their careers in life...
- at about 26 or 27. - That's right.
I view acting like any other job, so I don't think it was too late.
You weren't anxious about it.
You completed your military duties...
and you served as a member in the army.
It must be a huge relief to you now.
When did you complete your duties?
I joined at 21.
- 21? - That was fast.
I enlisted right after completing my freshman year.
Many think it's a relief...
because if you still had to fulfill your duties,
- then they'd have to... - Say goodbye temporarily.
That's not the case with you though.
My classmates at the time all enlisted,
so that left me with no one to take the stage with.
- Your friends enlisted. - That was the only reason.
I didn't want to be left alone.
It was a good choice.
That was truly a pure reason.
Guk Hui, you're a veteran of 17 years now.
Are you known as the Granny of Daehangno?
I played a lot of grandmas during my time there.
That's why.
But you're quite young, aren't you?
When someone calls their grandma on the street,
I react to it at times.
- "Grandma!" - Goodness.
- Right. I would react to it. - You played that role too often.
Yes, I played it too often.
You must have tips on how to play one then.
I have a box at home.
- What box? - It's my Old Lady Box.
Even though we're on other plays and shows,
we tend to wear similar outfits in them.
We exchange tips about where to get granny socks.
- You exchange information. - Right.
I'd also wear a lot of red long johns.
I have to wear them but it gets hot on stage.
So we exchange information about where to find ones...
- that are for early winter. - You exchange information.
Yes, I'd stock up supplies beforehand.
You'd exchange information between other actors.
That's right.
Eugene, you've played a secretary, a stage designer,
a book editor, and so on and so forth.
Most of the characters you played had specialized jobs.
The directors have been telling me...
that I have good pronunciation,
and it's why they are fond of me.
You look like you'll work at a magazine publishing company.
It's what I thought right from the start.
She has such good pronunciation.
- Yes, she does. - Thank you.
She could also play a news presenter...
or a weather forecaster.
- You're right. - They'll suit her.
I agree.
- It's what I thought. - That's why...
- we prepared a teleprompter. - Great.
She does have great pronunciation.
(I can't afford to miss this.)
("KBS News 9")
Good evening. This is Jung Eugene for Happy Together News.
Breaking news.
This evening on Happy Together, the actors of "Tune in for Love"...
will change the course of variety shows as you know it.
Here are the details.
This is the weather forecast.
I'm sure...
(She suddenly sounds a lot brighter.)
I'm sure most of you have had trouble sleeping...
due to the humid nights we've been having.
Today though, we expect to be blessed...
with Hae In, the brightest son ever to shine.
The Hae In Sun will bring a smile to Yoon Hee's face...
as well as all the other ladies as well.
Don't worry about not being able to sleep though...
for Hyun Moo and Sae Ho Moon will be with us all night.
Meanwhile, along with the Hae In Sun,
we expect a fresh breeze of Go Eun Air.
You won't need to turn on your ACs today.
The Jae Seok Sun will also bring along...
the funny stories and jokes told by Guk Hui up high.
"Tune in for Love" will help you tolerate...
this summer's tropical nights.
This was Jung Eugene for the Happy Together weather.
- My gosh! - That was great.
It was amazing.
- Your pronunciation... - You were great.
When you went from news presenter to weather forecaster...
That was the highlight of it all.
(Serious)
(Bubbly)
That was the highlight of it all.
I was able to promote our new movie as well.
You did well.
(She ended it by promoting the movie.)
That was great. Hae In doesn't seem like the type,
but he's actually been turned down at a lot of auditions.
- Really? - Yes.
I didn't pass auditions when I was a trainee.
Anyway, I just thought of it as part of the job.
(Getting turned down in auditions was part of his job back then.)
Your best project to date is "Something in the Rain".
Did you pass an audition for that?
I met with the director of that series back then.
It lasted for about 3 to 4 hours.
It was our first meeting...
and we met in a coffee shop.
The conversation just kept going.
(Their conversation lasted longer than he thought.)
I realized that the director had grown fond of me.
Did something feel different?
Director Ahn cast me himself.
(Hae In was cast by Director Ahn.)
What did he say?
"I'd love to work with you on this project."
He didn't hold back, did he?
- He always speaks his mind. - I see.
- You were cast on the spot then. - Right.
Were you nervous to work with Son Ye Jin?
I was nervous...
because it was my first main role and my first romantic series.
Everything was new to me.
It's something that only I probably knew but...
Did it show?
Yes, I felt awkward in the scene,
but the scene needed my character to be awkward,
so it went by unnoticed.
It would've been a disaster had I been that tense later on.
Anyway, Ye Jin sent me a text...
which told me to relax and just be myself...
because I was the character and the character was me.
What she said helped me do better.
(Ye Jin's words were a huge encouragement.)
On the recent "One Spring Night",
you played a different character.
- That's right. - He was quite straightforward.
The two main characters were of the same age.
I didn't tell you to hug me, you know.
(He played Ji Ho who is outspoken with his feelings.)
- Which character are you more like? - Which one?
"Something in the Rain" or "One Spring Night"?
The character in "One Spring Night".
You're quite bold then.
Go Eun was right about you.
Han Ji Min, your co-star,
threw you a birthday party.
She's the best.
- How was it? - I was deeply touched.
We had to work on my birthday,
so she took me to a barbecue restaurant...
because I love meat.
She also invited my manager,
my makeup artist, and stylist...
- and treated us all to dinner. - At a barbecue restaurant?
Yes. It would've cost a lot.
(It would've cost a lot.)
Was it beef?
Beef, pork, duck... We had almost everything.
(The meat-lover got lucky that day.)
- It was a buffet for you. - It was delicious.
Go Eun, I hear that you're especially adored...
by other female actresses.
You worked with Kim Hye Soo in "Coin Locker Girl".
- Right? - Yes.
- You worked with Jeon Do Yeon too. - Right.
(She was in a variety of genres.)
I had been a huge fan of them...
and admired them even before I began my career.
It's why I was overwhelmed at times.
I thought I was lucky to be living...
in the same space and time with them.
That's how I thought of them.
Even though I was working with them,
I'd stop to think it was surreal...
and wondered if I was actually dreaming.
I hear you take Pilates with Jeon Do Yeon.
- You two must be close. - That's not the case.
When I was filming "Memories of the Sword",
I had to take part in a great number of action scenes.
Due to the excessive amount of wires I had to swing around in,
my hips became uneven and I developed back pain...
while filming the movie.
(She experienced back pain too.)
It's hard to know where to get the right treatment.
- Where to get it treated. - It's a tricky field,
and I didn't even think about going to a hospital.
Anyway, Do Yeon...
Instead of calling me, she called my manager...
and told my manager to take me someplace...
so that I could get tested and treated.
I went to the hospital not knowing why.
The hospital she referred to though was slightly expensive.
Also, I was younger back then,
and I couldn't spend this much on my treatment.
I called Do Yeon...
- and said it was too expensive. - What did she say?
After letting out a sigh,
she told me to wait.
Was she going to pay for it?
(How did Do Yeon solve the matter?)
She negotiated the fee with the doctor and...
She became a negotiator.
- Yes, she negotiated. - Right.
We were able to get a different doctor to treat me.
- At a lower price. - Yes.
She called me back...
and told me that I should take care of myself...
if I want a long career as an actress.
- So... - She's right though.
She told you to invest in yourself.
It definitely was a wake up call,
and I went to the doctor like she told me to.
You're adored by a lot of your senior actors now,
but you made a lot of mistakes as a rookie.
- Is that so? - I spent my childhood...
- in China. - Yes, you mentioned that.
Yes, anyway...
I think it was due to the different culture.
Let's say I'm seated when a senior actor walks in.
I didn't know that I should get up to greet them.
Instead, I bowed to them in my seat.
But it's Korea.
Someone told me nicely that...
it could give people the wrong impression.
"In Korea, we stand up to bow."
That's when I felt a chill go down my spine.
All the times I bowed in my seat came rushing back to me.
You weren't trying to be rude.
Those memories gave me the chills,
so I've been trying to be even more polite ever since.
She was still quite young back then.
- They don't use honorifics. - No, not in China.
Hae In, you also have someone you're grateful to.
Yes, it's Kim Hae Sook.
Why?
It's back when I was on "Yeah, That's How It Is".
The lines were long and tricky to pull off in one take.
I played her youngest son, and she helped me...
by giving me lessons.
She even invited me home and treated me to dinner.
You truly are adored, aren't you?
There's a reason for everything.
Have you ever been scolded by senior actors before?
"You call this proper acting?"
Yes, I was told off by Hae Sook.
- Really? - Yes, she told me off harshly.
It was terrifying because she's always been so nice.
I came to her unprepared once,
and she told me she'd quit mentoring me if it continued.
(I won't mentor you anymore.)
She told me to leave.
How could I though?
I kept standing there not knowing what to do.
I promised that I'd do better.
She also always told me to see the forest...
and focus more on the future.
She said a long career is more important to actors.
Is it true that Lee Yeong Ja was especially nice to you too?
Oh, this...
She shared her favorite restaurants with you.
Not even Hyun Moo has received the list.
I've been working with her for about a year and a half,
and she hasn't shared a single restaurant with me.
She said she'd give up her money...
but not her favorite restaurants.
Since I love meat so much,
she gave me a list of restaurants with great meat dishes.
It was in her own handwriting.
- She wrote it herself? - That's right.
Yes, and she handed it over to me.
I wanted to tell her how much I enjoyed the dishes,
but I never got the chance to.
- So... - I'm truly grateful.
It's tucked away safely in my safe.
(He keeps the list in his safe.)
- Really? - She never shares her list.
I was really grateful.
Yeong Ja visits those nice places over and over again.
If their food is different,
she removes the restaurant from her list right away.
She's very strict with that.
It's a great list because she continually checks it herself.
- So you can rely on that list. - Totally.
This is Happy Together's signature segment.
We'll get rid of their dark past.
You want to remove the photo of you dressed up as a woman.
(Hae In wants to remove his photo of him dressed up as a woman.)
Did you dress up as a woman?
- Shall we take a look? - Let's take a look.
- My goodness. - But he looks pretty.
- What's that? - He's pretty.
- My goodness. - He's pretty.
(Why does he want to get rid of this photo?)
He looks flawless.
Why would you want to get rid of this?
Don't you think you look pretty?
What do you think?
I hated the twin tails.
- I had smokey makeup on too. - Really?
But it looks like you enjoyed taking a selfie with that look.
I don't know why I did that.
I took that photo because I was surprised.
Now that I look at it, I don't know why I took that photo.
I can't get rid of it for you.
I know that you want to get rid of it.
- But there is no need to erase it. - Right.
- How about this one? - Which one?
- Hae In is known for his nice body. - Right.
He had to take off his shirt when he was not ready.
- Really? - I'm sure he had six-pack abs.
(Taking off)
(Muscular back)
- It's nice. - It is.
- It looks nice. - What's wrong with that?
Look at his back muscles.
It looks nice.
No way.
(Which part of it is his dark past?)
Look at his back muscles.
(Hae In can't stand this.)
I am giving you a warning. It seems like you are just bragging.
- What's wrong with that? - I had that scene without notice.
I rushed myself to a nearby sauna...
and had to work out.
- That's how I got this scene. - So it took you three days.
You got in shape in just three days.
It was all fabricated just for the scene.
All right. But there is another video of Hae In...
taking off his shirt.
- There is? - Yes. Let's take a look.
- Shall we? - Sure.
(This is the perfect body Hae In worked for.)
(They can't deny it.)
(Frustrated)
You are only happy when your body is in shape like that.
Right. I worked out for quite a long time for this.
(We can tell from his face that he is happy with this photo.)
- Great. - Should we get rid of this photo?
Well...
- I wish I can erase this. - Erase which photo?
He looks good in every photo that there is nothing to get rid of.
- Go Eun, you have a dark past too? - Do you want to erase something?
It's when I took the entrance exam for Kaywon High School of Arts.
They asked me to prepare for a song from a musical,
but I didn't know anything about musicals.
I was a big fan of "Jumong" at the time.
Insooni sang the soundtrack of this drama.
It's called "Dear Heaven, Please".
My father and I tried to practice the song in my room.
(Go Eun and her father went through intensive training.)
I practiced singing with my dad.
My dad trained me.
Your dad must have improved with his acting too.
After going through the training with my dad,
I dressed up in my favorite clothes...
to take the entrance exam.
I wore a white beanie,
a fluorescent blue jacket,
and some baggy pants with skateboarding shoes.
You wore skateboarding shoes?
They were in trend back then.
All my friends thought...
that I was going to breakdance.
But you dressed up like a dancer.
- She went too far with her clothes. - Her clothes weren't right.
Everyone thought that I was going to dance.
- People thought I'd dance. - They thought you would dance.
Then I got inside the room.
I answered their questions,
but I couldn't control my feelings...
- and ended up crying. - Goodness.
I was so nervous.
I was so nervous and just cried.
Then they told me to stop crying...
and start singing.
- They turned on the music. - So you sang.
(There was no way she would pass the exam.)
I sang as my body was shaking all over.
I was reaching the highlight.
I had to hit the high note during that part.
Then what happened?
As I was about to sing the highlight,
I thought I'd pass the exam if I get this done.
So what happened?
As I was about to sing,
they stopped me from singing.
But you were about to sing.
So my mind just went blank.
- I thought I failed the exam. - You gave up.
That's what I thought.
But then I remembered what my dad told me to say...
if they asked me...
to say my last words.
He told me to say this.
"I'm confident that I can make..."
"Kaywon High School of Arts famous all over the world."
My dad told me to say this.
But I was shaking so much.
So I said, "I'm confident that..."
"I can send away Kaywon High School of Arts to the world."
To the world.
- "Send away to the world?" - "Send away to the world?"
- Send away to the world. - She'll send them away.
- Goodness. - "She's out of here."
The teachers were like,
"Why would you send us away to the world?"
"We are hard-working people."
(The teachers didn't know what to say either.)
She said she would send away the school to somewhere else.
- You still passed the exam, though. - I passed the exam.
Your story was great.
- It wasn't bad? - It wasn't bad.
It was great.
- I enjoyed it. - It was great.
Your story could have been the funniest story...
- if you shared it in the past. - For "Talk Box".
(2nd place: Hae In's body story 1st place: Go Eun's exam story)
- I was worried because it was long. - It was really great.
Thank you.
That's all for "Happy Together Music Album".
Shall we hear their last words?
Thank you for giving me a warm welcome.
I know I'm a boring person,
but I thank you for making me a funny person.
- Not at all. - Gosh, your story was great.
(Jae Seok pressures him until the end.)
You can tell people that you're a good storyteller.
- You are a good talker. - Right.
You'll get the Grand Prize at the Entertainment Awards this year.
I hope I can be here again soon.
You can promote your movies or dramas here.
There's no talk show as comfortable as this.
It would be better if you have a separate segment...
for movie or drama promotions.
(All right. I see.)
Hae In's sharing his ideas now.
- He can join our meetings. - Thank you.
I took relaxing pills...
when I was here for the first time.
But you did a good job today.
- You did a great job. - You all were very nice to me.
I hope you can invite me again soon.
Goodness.
You did great.
It was so nice to see them again after a long time.
Please support our new movie, "Tune in for Love".
Please support Daehangno musicals as well.
I was worried at first.
But I relieved my stress here.
Thank you for giving us a warm welcome.
Goodness.
I loved Eugene's old singing style.
- We'll see you next week. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(We give thanks to all the guests for coming.)
Thank you.
(An actor who won't settle for the present and work harder)
(An actress who may seem slow but is diligently hard working)
