(The members of Literature Club go on an orientation trip...)
(to Chuncheon.)
(Chuncheon?)
Did they say this place is called Literature Town earlier?
Is it Chuncheon Hyanggyo?
(Surprised)
(I am here.)
(I was wondering when you'd be coming.)
(There's an empty seat.)
(The intern player, Henry is here.)
(There's Eun Gyo at this place?)
(Peekaboo.)
(They suddenly play a game about proverbs.)
("Fools are great.")
(They have a class outside with the king.)
(They also experience what it is to be a magpie.)
(What kind of a show is this?)
(Mr. Jang's demonstration)
(What one earth is that?)
(Did you see that?)
(Laughing)
(Sacrificing himself)
(Ringing)
(Surprise guests join them for dinner.)
(Hello.)
(Dance major students have come to the restaurant.)
(They get more excited.)
(Randomly choosing menu for their dinner...)
(with Chef Lee Won Il)
(Do they want us to have dinner or not?)
(Having a bite)
(We're having a real meal!)
(Hold on! Let's take a close shot.)
(What's going on?)
(The object that's nearing them...)
(is a helicopter camera.)
(Screaming)
(The behind stories of Literature Club begins now!)
(The day for Literature Club is nearing its end.)
(A late night where bugs are singing)
(Literature Night)
(World famous writer Jang Dong Pil...)
(is enjoying the sentiments of a summer night.)
(Buzzing)
(An unwelcome guest of the middle of the night is here.)
(Swinging)
(What a peaceful night.)
(Buzzing)
Darn it!
(Who is Mr. Jang waiting for as the night deepens?)
(Here they are.)
- Hello, Mr. Jang. - My goodness.
This is so...
Look how neat this place is.
- Hello, sir. - Mr. Jang.
- My gosh. - Hello, sir.
Your beret...
(Appropriate attire for the sophisticated class)
This is so sophisticated.
Welcome to Literature Night.
It's Literature Night?
Your beret makes you look intelligent.
(Intelligent)
What's with Dong Hyun?
(Look at Dong Hyun.)
(Another intelligent man)
- It's started, right? - Yes.
We can't laugh.
(Putting on a straight face)
All right. Welcome, everyone.
- Right. - It's nice to see you.
Title.
"I Ask You".
"Don't kick the used briquettes with your feet."
"Have you ever been warm to anyone at least once?"
All right, everyone.
Welcome to Literature Night.
My, this is nice.
I'm your senior poet...
and a world famous writer, Jang Dong Pil.
- I've heard about you. - Sir, aren't you...
the one who was picked as favorite by the king?
I don't think so.
Your nose isn't back to its original shape yet.
I heard there's someone who looks like me.
All right, now,
our trip to Chuncheon is nearing its end.
Everyone, have you heard of "poem and drawing"?
"Poem and drawing"? Is it referring to a poem that's like a drawing?
It literally means a poem and a drawing.
So their Chinese characters mean poem and drawing also.
Now, you will write a poem...
and draw something next to the poem.
Feel free to express your feelings.
(Literature Night, 1st Period: Making poem and drawing)
(Theme: My friend)
All right, let's see.
You are...
finally getting an idea for your poem.
(Focused)
You're drawing without any hesitation.
(Here's another one who's not hesitant at all.)
Yes, this is nice.
(Observing closely)
Mr. Arrowroot...
(Someone must be standing behind me.)
You've never written anything in your life, have you?
(No.)
(Innocent and pure)
- How did you know that? - Well...
(He doesn't have any literary attainment whatsoever.)
I want to learn the literature...
of your pureness. I highly praise it.
All right, you're all wrapping up.
There's no such thing as wrapping up...
when it comes to poems.
What I mean is that, you need to hurry and finish it.
(He loves Dong Min's jokes.)
All right. I'd like to ask a favor...
to the members of Literature Club.
There's this troublemaker who only causes trouble...
and doesn't study at all.
That's why he failed the subject,
and he needs to come to the class during summer vacation.
That's the only way to save him from failing.
Let me invite my student in.
All right. Stop causing trouble and come on out already!
(A guest is here at this hour?)
(Who is the student coming in through the door?)
(The troublemaker is here.)
- Sir. - My gosh.
My gosh, that troublemaker.
(Innocent)
- Come here. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hi, it's nice to meet you.
- I can't believe he's here. - Hello, sir.
Since he's with us...
Please introduce yourself to the members here...
who are enjoying Literature Night.
Are they the juniors of Literature Club?
They're your seniors.
I'm their junior?
- Of course. - Is he the youngest here?
- Joong Gwon is the youngest? - Of course.
He became a freshman this year.
Hello, I'm a freshman. It's nice to meet you.
Hey, Joong Gwon.
I took wrong medications when I was young.
He might not look like it, but he's 20 years old.
He's 20?
- Right. - Which year were you born in?
I was born in 1999.
(He's a funny guy.)
All right. Joong Gwon will look at your poems and drawings...
and evaluate them.
Sweet Like Henry.
- Should I go first? - Yes.
(The first poem and drawing will be revealed.)
My theme is friendship.
It reminded me of a tree.
- A tree? - Someone you can rely on?
(Friendship slowly deepens like trees.)
"Friendship..."
"slowly deepens like trees."
"And friendship also brings happiness little by little."
"And friendship also grows up little by little."
"But..."
You're listening to the rhymes, right?
Yes.
"Little by little."
"But..."
"let's still be friends."
(Impressed)
- All right. Henry did his best. - That was great.
What did you feel?
To be honest, I didn't feel anything.
- You didn't feel anything? - No.
You did your best though.
- He's a genius, isn't he? - The moment Joong Gwon walked in,
I was reminded of him, so I wrote a poem about him.
My goodness. This is amazing.
- Title. - He's a genius.
"Jin Joong Gwon".
Hold on.
(Sweet Like Henry raises his hand all of a sudden.)
Can I help you?
That came out of nowhere.
Don't you think he's trying to get his revenge?
- Great, great. - My gosh, bring it.
- That was random. - When you read the poem...
- It's going to feel different then. - Completely.
(Feeling excited)
Here's what I want. Something that sounds fierce...
like something is charging forward. That's... Goodness.
- I'll start now. - Hold on.
(I know what he means.)
- I'll go with something heroic. - That sounds great.
- Here I go. - I'll just play it.
- Okay. - War.
Poem, "Jin Joong Gwon".
This sounds so good!
"There are hidden meanings in his words."
- This sounds really good. - "His words shoot daggers."
"They are sharp."
"They are observant."
"No master can be his match."
I'm looking forward to the twist at the end.
"He uses a scary tactic called logic to settle the world."
"The best hand technique..."
"in the world no one else can master."
"Jin Joong Gwon."
- That was different. - The last part...
The best hand technique in the world?
- "Jin Joong Gwon". That was it. - "Jin Joong Gwon".
- The music was really good. - Thank you, sir.
We need someone like him on the show.
His music sounded classy.
Seriously. It did make him look classy.
It's a great poem.
It's a poem that will remain in the history of literature.
Thank you.
- But there was no punchline. - Well, should I have added one?
Is that so?
Right. That's my opinion.
Yong Jin will go next.
It's a poem about a friend.
- Friend. - Friend.
I'll dedicate this poem to my friend.
Okay.
Start.
(Getting his emotions ready)
"Lee Su Geun".
(Title: "Lee Su Geun")
(Me?)
"Written by..."
"Lee Yong Jin".
(Written by Lee Yong Jin)
- He has a nice voice. - "Do you know Lee Su Geun..."
"a striker ghost..."
"who never misses a ball and a pitcher of laughter?"
"He flies like a butterfly and stings like a bee."
"The main pitcher of laughter in the Joseon Dynasty."
"Do you know Lee Su Geun?"
"He disguises as a snow leopard..."
"in search of original ways to make people laugh."
"Do you know Lee Su Geun?"
(Feeling anxious)
"Can you hear..."
"his footsteps, heading out to find more laughs?"
"Rumble, rumble, rumble."
"Gamble, gamble."
(Gamble, gamble.)
(Laughing)
(Feeling delighted)
We have it.
That was a great poem.
(Even Joong Gwon gives him a standing ovation.)
This is a real poem.
(This is a real poem.)
- Seriously. This one... - I didn't see it coming.
- It was great. - My gosh.
- I waited this long for that poem. - The spring literary contest...
He's impressive.
Fellow student, you've got my respect.
- You won't look at my drawing? - You've got my respect.
I drew the card symbols.
(Call 1336 for a gambling addiction consult.)
(He will be a great poet.)
For your information, I didn't play cards.
I'm sorry. I dedicated the poem to him.
His poem really gave me goosebumps.
Even the music was perfect.
We should submit that poem.
I could also feel the twist in the music.
Thank you for the music.
- This is the power of literature... - Right.
- and poems. - I could feel its power.
- Joong Gwon. - In the end,
I was deeply moved.
I couldn't control it.
(The Grand Award Winner of Dong Pil Literary Award, Lee Yong Jin)
(Upcoming Preview)
(The Literature Night deepens more.)
All right. Everyone,
logic is the most important factor in literature.
No one can beat him when it comes to logic.
It's Joong Gwon.
And there are eight members of Literature Club.
And you will hold a battle of logic.
(Literature Night, 2nd Period: Ultimate Debate Battle)
(Joong Gwon versus Players)
We have 10 judges.
I hope you like our debate. Nice to meet you.
The team that wins over the hearts of the judges...
will win the debate.
And if you fail to beat Joong Gwon,
the eight members of Literature Club...
will continue to hold the debate to the end.
Well, that won't be hard.
(However, their match is...)
(Sometimes, he's gentle.)
(Sometimes, he's level-headed.)
(He's fully geared up with expert knowledge.)
(The king of logic)
(Jin Joong Gwon)
(On the other hand, the level of our logic...)
(is extremely below average.)
(We'll be able to get off work today, right?)
We must find out what the first topic of our debate is.
Let's take a look.
"Can AI replace celebrities or not?"
(Tilting his head)
All right. Joong Gwon, since you don't have a team,
you can go first.
- And you will rebut his argument. - Right.
That's how we'll hold our debate.
All right. Let's listen to...
Joong Gwon's argument regarding this topic first.
Please begin.
(Which side will Joong Gwon take?)
(Nervous)
(Their career is at stake on this debate question.)
To make this fun,
I think I should say that your career can be replaced.
(That won't be easy.)
I will argue that AI can replace celebrities.
- No, they can't. - We don't agree.
There's no way. This isn't impossible.
They can't replace us at all.
We'll survive to the end even during the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Are you aware that AI is replacing fund managers?
The rate of return is higher.
A while ago, you drew pictures, right?
Do you think people would buy them?
(These?)
(They are speechless.)
But the painting AI worked on...
was auctioned off at 400,000 dollars.
We don't buy paintings like that. We don't.
- Some people buy such paintings. - But it's only a minority.
- I go with the majority. - Take the chair and talk.
- Please come sit down. - Go and show him.
Go and show him.
This is Lee Jin Ho, Mr. Arrowroot.
(Lee Jin Ho)
They can't replace us.
- Based on what grounds? - This isn't right.
There are lines only we can say...
from our quick thinking.
A lot of people assume that celebrities are quick on their feet.
But actually, the machine is much faster at thinking than you guys.
When you're trying to come up with something,
the machine thinks 100 or 1,000 times faster than you.
But a developer makes the machines.
- Right. - Those developers...
don't have our skills.
For example, the one who created AlphaGo...
doesn't know how to play go.
Despite that, the creator...
was able to make a program that beat a human.
Someone who doesn't know popular culture is more than capable of...
creating a program that can be funnier than you.
(He nods his head in agreement.)
- Did he convince you? - No, no.
- No. I'll come back later. - You can't do that.
- Sure. - Tag out. Get your nameplate.
He's quite popular.
- Hello. Nice to meet you. - Great.
I was listening to your opinion a while ago.
Singers.
I believe that singers can be replaced with AI.
However, I don't believe it's possible with comedians.
That's right.
To become a comedian, you'd need an innate talent.
Being able to improvise in situations...
can't be realized through machines.
AI might be able to copy us to a certain point...
such as our voice, gestures,
and catchphrases.
However, improvised lines which we spit out right away...
to respond to the lines from another comedian...
can only be executed by a certain group of people.
- Right. We're irreplaceable. - No matter how capable AI is,
these improvised lines stem from our momentary creativity.
- It's not calculated. - Nice.
- We're born with this. - AI isn't creative.
- That's right. - Those things can't be calculated.
Imagine doing an outdoor variety show...
without a script with AOI.
Well, this is unimaginable.
- "AOI"? - What?
Why did you say "AOI"?
- That was so random. - I meant "AI".
(A random laughter attack while cheering him on)
"AOI".
"AI".
Here's a problem for you.
These days, there's this thing called deep-learning.
They use a nerve-network to learn new things.
The machine will do more than what it's programmed to do.
Through learning new things,
the machine can give us something that no one has thought of before.
- They experimented with a computer. - Okay.
They made the computer write a detective novel.
Here's what they programed into it. They were testing its creativity.
"Write a detective novel that has never been written..."
"before considering all the published detective novels."
So what happened?
There has been all kinds of detective novels.
But there hasn't been a novel where the reader was the culprit.
This already happened in the 1960s.
(Is that true?)
There are many examples like that.
There are things machines can do in our place.
There can be all sorts of things.
I'm sure the machine can play go and janggi.
But it can't make people laugh!
- Never. - This is...
- That's not possible. - a skill and a talent...
that's been bestowed upon a certain number of people!
Isn't this true?
(It turns into a speech contest all of a sudden.)
- All right. - Please come here.
Please help us out here.
(Yong Jin, Smart Comedian, joins to add his opinions.)
Nice to meet you, Joong Gwon.
All right. Shall we continue our talk?
Okay. Let me continue.
I also believe AI cannot replace us.
Do you think AI has emotions?
- Yes. - Say it's singing "Snow Flower".
- Do you think it can be emotional? - Yes.
These days, they run tests with emotions.
All right then.
I'd like to say something very logical at this point.
- Please allow me to say this. - Go on.
(Something very logical?)
If what you say is true...
(Acting pretentious)
As humans who are listening to AI's singing,
when we're aware that AI is singing with its emotions,
do you think we can accept such emotions?
- I don't think so. - That's an important point. Right.
If humans were to judge that the machine has emotions,
it means...
that the machine and humans have already communicated.
Since our emotions have been exchanged, we know it has emotions.
That's how we can judge that a machine has emotions.
Recognizing emotions in the machine means we have already felt them.
If we can't agree that it has emotions,
we wouldn't say that the machine has emotions to begin with.
- It can replace UFC fighters. - Right.
- Yes, it can. - Of course.
But it won't be fun.
It's fun when people feel pain.
- You should tell him that. - Okay.
(Dong Hyun participates.)
- A sports representative. - Dong Hyun will give it a try.
- Representative from the UFC. - Representative from the UFC.
- Let's give it a go. - Okay.
Hello.
I'm here on behalf of the athletes.
(Tilting his head)
Say that AI is fighting in the arena.
It's sports.
People won't go.
(What kind of logic is that?)
What do you mean?
(He makes an illogical comment.)
- What do you mean? - You said...
- What do you mean? - When there are fights,
people go to see how the fighters try not to get hurt.
- That's right. - When AI gets punched,
it'd be fine. Even if it pretends to be hurt,
- people see it just as a robot. - "Isn't that just a robot?"
Even if the arm comes off, it can be reattached easily.
(What kind of nonsense is he talking about?)
People won't watch fights like this.
- Can I say something now? - Yes.
Robot tournaments already exist.
- I saw it. - I saw it.
- Robots fight. - I saw it.
And people go wild there.
They cheer for their robot to win.
It's the same thing. How is that any different?
And you said that robots can't feel pain.
Here's an example. There's a company called Boston Dynamics.
They created this four-legged robot.
- You saw that, right? - People kicked at the robot.
- People kicked at the robot. - Yes.
That went viral.
When someone kicked the robot, the robot got its balance back.
The whole world criticized that it was an animal abuse.
People can already sympathize.
Is that so?
It's not that. Dong Hyun.
AI can't be sitting in that chair.
- All right. - Sit there.
Okay. The debate is getting heated now.
I'm glad everyone is participating.
- You may go back to your seat. - Okay.
- I'll talk to you next time. - All right.
The first debate is about AI.
Do you think AI can replace celebrities or not?
After hearing from both sides, let's find out...
these 10 judges' opinions regarding this topic.
Well, they all work for celebrities.
These judges are either stylists or managers of celebrities.
Will AI be paying for their salaries?
Or will the humans, celebrities, pay for their salaries?
If you are convinced...
by Joong Gwon's argument that it is possible for AI...
to replace celebrities, raise the red sign.
If you don't agree with him...
and believe that celebrities must continue to exist,
you can raise the blue sign.
(Guys, let's get off work now.)
(I'm watching you.)
Raise the sign of your choice on the count of three.
In 1, 2, 3.
Hold on.
(Joong Gwon gets 7 votes, and the players get 3.)
Hold on. Red? You must've gone mad.
(Shocked)
All right.
It's 7 to 3.
The judges were convinced that AI can replace celebrities.
If your managers chose red, you should treat them better.
They must've been so annoyed to have chosen red.
Hey, am I no better than the Google Translator?
You're no better than the machine.
Let's talk through Papago now.
Left turn.
All right. Here's the second topic.
We'll move onto the next topic.
What? What is that?
People are bound to choose in life.
That will be fun.
(Flustered)
Will you choose to live as Su Geun who isn't funny?
Or will you choose to live as Dong Hyun who can't fight?
That will be fun.
(It's getting interesting.)
Must I make a choice?
You must choose one.
Let me explain the topic in detail.
Su Geun won't be able to make even a single joke.
- For the rest of his life? - For the rest of his life. Never.
- That means he's not funny at all. - He'll never be funny.
(Not funny at all)
- He will live as a boring guy. - That's the worst.
That's the worst. Think about all of his physical traits too.
I'm cute, you know.
(Feeling embarrassed)
And as for Dong Hyun, he'd be like a scarecrow.
- A scarecrow? - A scarecrow.
He's a guy who just stutters?
- He's never been in a fight before. - Then...
As soon as he goes onto the ring, he'd pee his pants right away.
(Peeing)
(Dripping)
(Laughing)
- He'd pee his pants. - How will I make a living?
He'll just pass out.
- How will I make a living? - He'll just pass out.
You must choose 1 of these 2. Do you understand?
- Joong Gwon. - I'll let them choose first.
- Do you want to? - I'm not ready to face this yet.
You can discuss freely among yourselves...
and choose one.
Su Geun and Dong Hyun should decide.
- I... - We'll go along with that.
I'll tell you about my opinion first.
- Actually, it's about the same. - Personally,
I'd live as myself who can't be funny.
I don't think I could live my life as a coward when I'm a man.
I can be a man of few words if I can't be funny.
People might say, "That guy isn't funny."
But I'm a man after all. I can't pee in my pants.
I don't think I could live like that.
The two of them can have a debate.
Given the circumstance... Even Joong Gwon suggested it.
(Dong Hyun who can't fight versus Su Geun who can't be funny)
- Dong Hyun, - Yes.
think about this.
A lot of men in this world aren't funny.
Of course.
A lot of men are considered boring.
The managers and chiefs at work aren't funny.
They don't know when to butt out. So they're considered clueless.
- Right. - Despite that,
those people get married, have children, and live a nice life.
But if men are cowards...
(But if men are cowards...)
(He's the biggest coward in this debate.)
That's so awful.
Please answer it.
- Goodness. Unbelievable. - Wait.
You can live your life peacefully without having to fight someone.
Just because I can't fight...
But how bad am I?
I can live without fighting people.
No. Say that you are walking on the street...
and see two men.
(Feeling warm)
- Isn't that too much? - He'd pee in his pants?
(That is an extreme setting.)
I didn't know I'd be that bad at fighting.
(Laughing)
(Isn't that too much?)
Listen.
I could be a normal guy.
(The problem isn't his fighting skills. It's his health.)
I didn't think I'd be that bad.
He's terrible. He's a terrible fighter.
In that case, I can't defend myself.
I will live as Su Geun then.
(Boring Su Geun wins.)
I'm curious to see if Joong Gwon can pull this off.
I think we can win this debate.
- Is that so? - We can win.
- I think we can win this one. - So Literature Club...
- concluded it's better... - Yes, Su Geun who can't be funny.
- to be as Su Geun who's not funny. - Su Geun. Yes.
You must go with the opposing argument.
You will argue that it's better to live as Dong Hyun who can't fight.
You must explain to us logically why your argument is better.
- Do you understand? - Yes.
Henry, why don't you give this a try?
- Try it, Henry. - Henry, go.
(Shaking his head)
Give it a try.
- Imagine peeing in your pants. - I don't know what to say.
Henry.
You think it's better to live as Su Geun who can't be funny.
You must debate against him based on that.
Well...
(Sighing)
This is hard.
Did you even understand what this is about?
It might be better if he comes back to his seat.
(Laughing)
(He gets splashed.)
I have a question. I have a question for him.
I'll ask from here.
As for the happiness you get by making people laugh,
how much satisfaction percentage do you think it takes up in life?
That's very important.
So what's the percentage?
Lately, this has become quite important.
Back in the days, it was about who's good or bad.
Back then, people who lied were considered bad.
I used to eat a lot of Real Crackers.
Nowadays, we cannot forgive these types of people.
Do you know who they are? Boring people.
(Boring people can't be forgiven.)
These days, the standards are super funny and super boring.
Our society is heading toward that direction more and more.
But he's not entertaining? He's not funny?
It can be a huge flaw.
All right. Yong Jin?
Do you know a novelist named Murakami Haruki?
Yes. I read his books.
But I stopped reading it.
His book "The Era of Loss"...
is subtitled "Norwegian Wood". You know that, right?
- Really? - Yes. You just learned something.
All right.
(Well done, Yong Jin.)
There's this saying.
If someone has a choice...
about the way he lives his life,
he'd choose not to cause harm to others.
It says that's the most important thing.
- I see. - Okay?
And secondly, he'd choose a life where he can protect his family.
But if you think about the two options we have here,
Kim Dong Hyun who can't fight won't be able to protect his family.
That's a very good point.
The first thing you said is a life that doesn't cause harm to others.
If you ruin the mood with lame jokes, wherever you go,
you'll cause harm to others.
The second thing is a life where you can't protect your family.
It's not about being a good fighter.
Most of parents in this country aren't good fighters.
They aren't martial artists like Dong Hyun.
But they still can protect their own families.
That's why they are heroes. All your parents are.
But think about Lee Su Geun who's not funny.
If he knows that he's not funny,
he wouldn't even try to make people laugh.
- I wouldn't even go out. - He wouldn't go around.
- I think he'd keep trying. - I wouldn't go out to meet people.
- I'd keep trying? - Yes.
- Keep trying? - All right.
Please go back to your seat.
That was a heated debate.
I wonder how the judges think.
They will give judgment again.
Please think about it.
If you think it'd be better...
to be boring Lee Su Geun, please pick the blue sign.
Or if you think it'd be better...
to be Kim Dong Hyun who can't fight, please hold up the red sign.
Wait. Let me say one last word.
Even if Su Geun is not funny,
he still has a lot of strengths. He can still get married.
But Kim Dong Hyun who can't fight...
like a coward? Then he can't get married.
- Really? - Yes.
What kind of logic is that?
- What are you talking about? - Just think about it.
I mean, Su Geun still can date women.
But that's not the case...
- for a coward. - It's actually true.
When you fall for someone, it lasts only for a moment.
But living with a boring person lasts a lifetime.
You will feel bored until you die.
All right. I hope the judges will...
make a wise judgement.
I'll count to three.
What you are looking at is blue.
- It makes you feel comfortable. - As I count to three,
please hold up a sign.
In 1, 2, 3.
(The score is 5 to 5.)
- It's a tie. - It's a tie.
It's 5 to 5.
- Oh, no. - It's a tie.
It's neck and neck.
It's a tie.
Even though he's our junior,
he was perfectly logical to get down...
to the real discussion today.
- Please give him a big hand. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - Thank you.

(Variety Show Museum Special)
(Today, they will dress up as legendary variety show characters.)
Everyone's in.
(Who's the first character?)
(Lee Yeong Ja of "Yeong Ja's Best Days")
I'm looking for fun.
(Park Myung Soo, the Young Boy Myung Soo)
All right.
Those who are younger than me, stay quiet!
(Yoo Se Yoon, the returning student)
- My gosh. - He's coming.
My gosh, Father.
(Ro Hong Chul, the pansori singing bachelor)
The pictures are still going viral.
He looks so funny.
You have retired, right?
(He seems a bit slow.)
He doesn't have a match, right?
I don't have an UFC match.
(Yeonggu)
That's a good collaboration.
- That was so funny. - That was nice.
I don't have a match.
(He shows it again.)
Don't look for me.
(He regrets it now.)
He's coming. Look at him.
That's how he's dressed.
Gosh, I'm so daunted.
(Kim Mi Hwa, the spiteful lady)
Gosh, I'm so uplifted.
(Lee Su Geun, the singer who can't hit the high notes)
I asked you guys to dress up...
as your favorite variety show characters.
Can you tell what characters these are?
- I'm Yeong Ja. - I see.
You know this show. It was very famous.
Now...
(He's possessed by Yeong Ja's spirit.)
- You know this, right? - Of course I do.
Everyone's in. All right.
- This is it. - Jung Hyuk looks cool though.
No, I'm the student returning to school.
- You look like... - You guys know the character.
Once I say it...
We all went to school, so we know how returning students look like.
Right.
- But... - Hey!
(He does an impression of the character.)
Those who are younger than me, stay quiet!
(Flashy reactions)
He needs some reactions.
- He needs reactions. - Right.
- My gosh! - Colorful power.
That's nice.
(Showing reactions)
- This is the reaction he needs. - You must be flattered.
- Yes. - It looks funnier this way.
It's funnier with the reactions.
Jung Hyuk is good.
- This is what I wanted. - I know.
Jokes become funnier with reactions.
- It's more fun with reactions. - I agree.
- What about you? - Hey!
Hey!
(Angry)
It's too late when you think it's late.
- It's too late. - That's funny.
Je Seong, start an acrostic poem.
- This is so... - What was that?
- He just looks silly. - Je Seong, an acrostic poem.
My name is a three-letter word. How can I do that?
- Cue. - What are you doing?
I'm just trying to make people laugh.
He sounds the same.
- Are you Go Eun Ae? - Guess who I am.
Guess who I am. No.
I'm the legendary lady with a monobrow.
I dressed myself up as Kim Mi Hwa with respect.
Cool. The spiteful lady.
Gosh, I'm so daunted.
- Gosh, I'm so uplifted. - Gosh, I'm so daunted.
Gosh, I'm so uplifted.
Han Kook! See you tomorrow.
- You know that, right? - It's so detailed.
What are you?
I'm a character from "Infinite Challenge". I'm Ro Hong Chul.
The pansori singing bald bachelor.
(He kindly explains the character.)
(Changing abruptly)
(Singing...)
(back and forth)
He doesn't understand. He only knows old characters.
Those who didn't watch the episode wouldn't know the character.
Just say, "Okay. Just go for it."
Good.
Okay. Just go for it!
(Okay. Just go for it!)
(Satisfied)
- He seems very nervous. - Hong Chul...
would've been better.
(Sneezing)
You don't have to know that.
- Hang on. - Are we starting already?
You should come out opening the door. We'll call you.
We should say, "Yeonggu, let's play."
Say, "Yeonggu isn't here."
You should say, "Dong Hyun, let's fight."
- That's good. - Let's fight.
- Here you go. - Say Dong Gu.
Where's Dong Gu?
He has a match today. Why is he coming late?
Let's call him all together.
(Dong Gu, let's fight.)
Dong Gu, let's fight.
I don't have a match.
(I don't have a match.)
(He's cute.)
He's very unique.
- He's the best. - He's really funny.
It's the best character in the history of Korean comedy.
- Who's next? - You wouldn't know who I am.
- We know. - Of course we do.
- It's from a legendary comedy show. - Right.
You'll be with us forever
Then you say, "Korea".
- I get it. - Okay.
(You'll be with us forever)
(Korea)
(He's good.)
Champion
That's good.
(He's on a roll.)
- That's funny. - He's really good.
- Show us the original character. - Please show us.
- Just once. - That's the most important one.
- Put on the wig. - Sing a ballad song.
(Let's watch the original character.)
Korea
(Leaping)
(Happy)
Champion
(He's relaxed as he's experienced.)
- This is how you do it. - He's different.
- Thank you. - That was nice.
Today, I will take you on a tour...
to the Variety Show Museum,
which is a collection of all the popular variety shows.
We have many comedians in Player. You must be excited.
- Yes. - All of us are comedians.
- Who is not a comedian? - Who's not a comedian here?
- No one. - There's none.
We used to have some, but not anymore.
This week, with your performance fee,
we improved your working conditions.
I got the performance fee. They did deduct it from my money.
People don't believe it. They kept asking me.
- You could've been flexible. - Please bring it in.
A horse is coming again? What is it?
- If it's a horse, I'll kill you. - What's that?
- What is that? - What is that?
(A mysterious mannequin)
(Do you remember?)
(Yong Jin's T-shirt from Episode 2)
(We prepared...)
(underpants that'd go well with the T-shirt.)
(On the back of them,)
(there are Je Seong's faces to cover your buttocks.)
How much of my money did you spend on this?
It's almost 1,000 dollars.
I was told...
you laughed so hard that you got soaked to the skin.
So we made Hwang Je Seong's underpants with Je Seong's fee.
Hwang Je Seong's underpants?
You should check the back of them.
Why did you put my picture on there?
Will you give these to us?
I want this one.
- My goodness. - Director.
- This is nice. - Seriously?
Five pairs per person.
- Here. - They're folded.
Jung Hyuk. Put them on and show us.
- I wonder how they would look. - You should try them on.
- This is crazy. - Say "Your poop's colorful power."
- Let's go. - Colorful power!
Yes!
(Bumping his head)
Try again.
- I almost had a heart attack. - Wait.
Straighten your back.
- My goodness. - Oh no.
(Satisfied)
What did you do with the money left? I don't think these cost a lot.
Please bring in the next item.
- There's more? - That's not it?
I knew it. They must've spent more money.
I guess it's a new gear.
- It's gotten smaller in size. - It became a little different.
- Look at that sticker. - We had a nano lab to develop...
a highly precise water backpack.
It's ultralight...
and customized for each member.
- I should try wearing it. - It's gotten light.
- Really? - It's light.
Thank you.
- I want one too. - This is crazy.
- Really? - I was so burdened about this.
- Our angel. - Why is this so light?
- It's gotten light? - Awesome.
It became extremely light.
- It's really light. - It took two weeks.
I love this.
Right, you should buy these kinds of stuff.
We should've gone to Chungcheong Province with this.
I love it.
Let's get started.
Like always, the member who laughs the least...
will be given 100 percent worth of his performance fee.
- All right, follow us. - Let's go.
Follow us, dear viewers.
- Let's go. - Come.
- Let's go. - Come in.
- Goodness. - It's going to be so fun.
(All the players have entered.)
They've prepared a lot.
Is this person joining us today?
(The players will now start holding back laughter.)
(Chronicle of Korean Variety Shows)
- Excuse me. - What's that?
See you tomorrow.
- Give pupa, buy pupa - Is it here?
Buy pupa
- What is this? - It's a real museum.
(Welcome to Variety Show Museum.)
- "1981". - 1981?
"'Sunday Night'".
"'Top 10 Songs'".
- Gosh, I'm so daunted. - Gosh, I'm so uplifted.
(The chronicle of variety shows with masters in the entertainment field)
- "'Joo Byung Jin Talkshow'". - "'Today Is a Good Day'".
"'Our Happy Saturday'".
"Gag Concert" started in 1990.
In December.
(Soo Geun is proud to have been a member of "Gag Concert".)
- In December. - What we know start from here.
- There they are. - "'Living Together'".
There's Ho Dong's "Match Made in Paradise".
That's a long time ago.
(There are many more legendary variety shows in the 21st century.)
- "'Great Escape'". - That's Dong Hyun.
Goodness, Dong Hyun is on a roll these days.
- "Great Escape". - Right.
Variety shows are...
all about Kim Dong Hyun after all.
Don't you have any matches anymore?
I don't have a match.
- Don't ask about it. - "Don't ask about it."
- Hello. - What's going on?
- Hello. - Who is she?
A place with joy. Closer to televisions.
Welcome to Variety Show Museum.
- It's good to see you. - Hello.
Yes, hello. I'm Curator Lee Eun Ji.
- Hello. - Ms. Lee.
There are a lot of shows you can experience.
The first show you'll be experiencing...
- is... - What is it?
the famous variety show which brought...
an avatar fad in Korea.
- It's "Hot Brothers". - "Hot Brothers"?
It's "Hot Brothers".
This is fun.
("Hot Brothers" was aired from March, 2010 to February, 2011.)
(It was part of "Sunday Night" in MBC...)
(and reached 12.3 percent for its highest ratings.)
(Its indispensable signature segment)
(Avatar Blind Date)
Shellfish soup is delicious.
Wasn't Tak Jae Hoon on this show?
Right, and Park Hwi Soon.
- Let's sit down. - This seat is for the host.
I guess someone is joining us today.
Will it be Myung Soo? Or Jae Hoon?
There are eight chairs.
- What? - It's the song by 1TYM.
I guess it's Jae Hoon.
They played "Hot" because the show title is "Hot Brothers".
(That's right.)
(Hot, it's hot)
- What? - Goodness!
- Hot, it's hot - Goodness!
- Hey, brothers. - Hey!
- Were you on this show? - Yes.
- Thank you. - He did blind dates.
I was once on it.
(Special host, Ji Sang Yeol, Once on "Hot Brothers")
(Evidence)
1, 2.
- "Oh, Hot Brothers". - "Oh, Hot Brothers".
It's good to see you.
I'm Ji Sang Yeol, the host for today.
I must say...
"Hot Brothers"...
was a popular show in the entertainment field.
- That's right. - The number one social show.
I'm glad to see you brothers...
for the Avatar Blind Date today.
(It's good to see you, new brothers.)
It's good to see you too.
By the day, who are these non-celebrities?
Who are they?
- They're very famous. - Oh, really?
I was bothered by them since a while ago.
- He's popular these days. - I'm a newbie comedian.
- What's your name? - Jung Hyuk.
- What was that again? Jung Hyuk? - Jung Hyuk.
I'm not sure if I'm a comedian or an actor.
It's been eight years since my debut.
- You're an actor. - I'm Lee Yi Kyung.
So his identity is like a stray dog.
- He has no home yet. - Well...
No one found his way back home yet.
(Sang Yeol's wording is like a madhouse.)
- Shouldn't you put on makeup too? - Why?
- You're on Player. - I have my makeup on.
I mean different kind of makeup. Let me apply this on your chin.
- Let me draw a beard at least. - But...
It's needed to go well with us.
Sang Yeol, aren't you the one...
- who needs a blind date the most? - I do.
But you guys are witty,
and some are married.
You might know well...
about how to capture women's hearts.
Don't you guys have an ultimate skill or something?
- Suddenly? - All of a sudden?
Don't you have any ultimate skills?
Because if I go on a blind date,
- That's enough. - I need to...
I need to make a good impression on the lady.
Hey. Hey.
Why don't you just spit on my face?
- Hey. - All of a sudden...
I'm 50. Don't treat me like I'm a chalkboard.
Why would you doodle on my face?
To be honest...
Aren't you on this broadcasting channel in a while?
- It's my 1st time. - It's his 1st time.
I buy so much of their instant rice.
- Yes, I'm aware. - My gosh.
- You've grown a lot. - Sang Yeol.
You're having conversations with me on TV now.
Sang Yeol, there's something I'm upset about.
(It's hilarious just to see him again.)
What is it? Where are you going?
He likes it.
- He likes it. - It's nice.
- Hey, hey. - Goodness.
It's like bride's makeup. I like it.
You've got to put on such makeup to be on this show.
But before I was asked to join you for Avatar Blind Date,
I had watched this show.
- This is... - Isn't it nice?
It's not just fun.
It's better than "Parasite".
I mean it. This has to be nominated in the Cannes Film Festival.
- I'm telling you. - Right.
- He rarely says such a thing. - It's really fun.
Join us next week also.
Well, I like the show,
but why are the ratings no bigger than the numbers for vision?
- What's important is... - It went up a lot.
- It's gotten three times higher. - Oh, right.
Then it'll become successful for certain.
We first need to decide on who should be an avatar.
The important thing is...
that we'll be giving you instructions in the control room.
Then the avatar has to follow them no matter what.
- No matter what. - Your ruined life...
will be deleted,
and you'll be born again as an avatar.
- Is that a rule? - Yes, you must follow the commands.
- No matter what? - Yes.
If I tell you to take a bath in a pit of fire, you must do it.
You know what I mean?
I need to choose the first avatars now,
- but I'm torn. - The start is important, right?
- That's right. - Who starts it off.
Wouldn't it be better to have young men start off?
Handsome young men.
Then let's go with these two non-celebrities.
- Non-celebrities? - Non-celebrities.
- Right. - It'll be like a real blind date.
I think it's a nice idea.
- Non-celebrities. - Non-celebrities.
Here's what I think. How you look is important,
but the thyroid batting average is important too.
- So it'd be better... - What is...
- thyroid batting average? - Jin Ho and I take the control.
- Fine. - It'd be better that way.
I really enjoyed watching this show.
I'll do whatever instructions you make.
- Are you sure? - I'll be your real avatar.
- Just as is. - As it is.
- Really? - Yes, really.
- It won't be easy. - Anyway,
let's move to the blind date location.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- Go for it. - Let's go.
- You can do it. - Go for it.
- Good luck. - See you.
(Connecting avatars)
I guess we'll meet them at a cafe.
- All right. - I'll be serious about this.
I'll be real serious.
- I'll put my heart to this. - Let's be serious.
- Do you hear me, Yi Kyung? - Yes, I do.
(Master: Sang Yeol, Avatar: Yi Kyung)
Hyuk, show me the whites of our eyes.
- Where should I sit? - The whites of your eyes.
Good.
Is this right?
Master, do I sit on the right chair or the left?
- On the floor. - Lie down.
Lie down on the floor.
Okay.
(He follows the instruction right away.)
- That's cool. - Looking comfortable.
So comfortable.
- Yi Kyung. - Yes?
Your blind date will soon arrive, right?
If you like her clothes,
tell her, "Your clothes are poop-colored."
(Laughing)
It's childish, but funny.
Gosh.
If I like her clothes, I tell her, "Your clothes are poop-colored"?
Since they're actors, they can do it in a serious way.
Yi Kyung, sit down first.
(All right.)
I got an order.
- What did he say? - He told me to sit down.
So who is going to be our blind date?
How many people are coming? Will it be 2 or 1?
Maybe it's two women.
Instead of 1 chair in the middle, there are 2 chairs.
- I'm sure it's two women. - You're right.
I'm getting excited because it's still a blind date.
(Of course,)
(it's exciting.)
I'm getting nervous.
Their blind dates will enter now.
- It's exciting. - Both of them are handsome.
- They're handsome. - They're good-looking.
They won't be criticized at least.
They're here.
- Right. - Gosh, what?
Have you never been on any blind dates?
Well, I think...
(The blind dates are here.)
(Amazed)
Are they not actresses?
(The men can sense their beauty in 0.1 seconds.)
(He strives to put on a poker face.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Your clothes are poop-colored. - What?
(It means they're pretty.)
It's nice to meet you.
"Your clothes are poop-colored."
"Did you attend a funeral?"
Did you attend a funeral?
(Je Seong loses 10 dollars...)
(while Su Geun saves 10 dollars.)
I dolled up for today. Does it look like that?
We attended a costume play.
(Flustered)
Hyuk, only say what I tell you to.
Hold on.
When do we sit down?
Tell them that you guys should eat standing.
(He tries to hold back his laughter.)
(What is he saying?)
Tell them that you guys should eat standing.
Since we greeted each other while standing...
(Feeling anxious)
Let's eat while standing.
(Laughing)
He has terrible manners.
Why is he laughing?
(Hesitating)
Blind dates are supposed to be this way, right?
(I'm sorry I have terrible manners.)
Yi Kyung, they seem to be very flustered right now.
Tell them to sit down.
- Let's sit down for now. - Okay.
- Let's sit comfortably. - Are we really sitting down?
Yes, let's sit.
Thank you.
Are we not allowed to say anything?
(They don't know how this works.)
I guess we can talk a bit.
Try this. "What should we order? Should we order you?"
(Got it.)
Hyuk, say, "What should we order?"
"Should we order you?"
What should we order?
What should we order? Should we order you?
(She feels lightheaded.)
Will you run some errands?
(He's good.)
Oh, no. This is bad.
Oh, my. I'm in trouble.
I've already lost 200 dollars. I'm in trouble.
(Yong Jin has donated quite a bit.)
- He's really good. - He truly is.
How's our first impression?
It's flustering yet intriguing.
- Really? - Me too.
They should ask for their names.
- Ask for their names. - Yi Kyung.
Ask for their names.
Oh, right. I think we should know each other's names.
Right.
It's Hwang for "yellow", Hyo for "filial duty",
and Jin for "treasure".
My name is Hwang Hyo Jin.
- Hwang Hyo Jin? - Yes.
"Are you Han Seok Bong's daughter?"
- Her surname is Hwang. - Hey, hey.
- She's a Hwang. - Go wash your face.
Are you Han Seok Bong's daughter?
Why can't they filter the things they hear?
(These avatars will say whatever they're ordered to.)
What's your name?
Hello, my name is Hwang Yoo Jin, and I live in Mapo-gu.
Mapo-gu?
How old are you?
I was born in 1991.
(Startled)
Hi, we're the same age.
(They were both born in 1991.)
- We're friends. - And you?
- And you? - I was born in 1995.
(Startled)
I was born in 1988.
(He was born in 1988.)
(They're very friendly with each other.)
He's supposed to be the youngest.
Look at these punks.
- Look at them. - Come to your senses.
They need to work.
- Yi Kyung. - Look at these punks.
Reach out toward the lady who was born in 1995.
Pretend to touch her cheek with your hand.
She might be startled.
If she is, say, "There's beauty on your face."
Try this.
(Shocked)
Isn't that the ancient way of flirting?
No, we'll see.
It's the worst.
(The no-filter man sets out to complete his mission.)
(He will spread the ancient way of flirting.)
Sorry.
There's beauty on your face.
(Everyone expected this reaction.)
She hates it.
(He's the only one who's content.)
Give us orders quickly. Are you enjoying this or what?
What would you like?
- We should drink something. - We should.
Yes, we should.
- Where is the menu? - Excuse me.
Yes, how may I help you?
He looks like a pasta restaurant employee.
We'll have one caramel macchiato.
What about you?
I'm sorry, but we don't serve caramel macchiato.
Then what do you have?
What would you like?
I'd like a bowl of sundae soup with a lot of head meat.
A lot of head meat? Got it.
I'd like a large-sized sundae soup,
- some cow's heart and lungs. - Heart?
- Could you add a lot? - Sure.
Do you have seasoned red pepper paste?
- I'll add a lot. - Thank you.
Hyuk, call the waiter back.
- Excuse me. Sir? - Yes?
- Patbingsu and clotted blood. - "Since it's the summertime..."
Since it's the summertime...
"I'd like a cool patbingsu..."
"with a lot of clotted blood on top."
I'd like a cool patbingsu...
with a lot of clotted blood on top.
I'm sorry, but we don't have that on the menu.
Is he a parrot? Why does he keep repeating?
- Hyuk. Hyuk. - Is he a machine or what?
Get up and laugh. Then say, "Isn't it funny?"
Hold on.
(Laughing)
Isn't it funny?
(No, it's funny for them as well.)
[VIU Ver] tvN E06 'Player' "A Debate with Jin Joong Gwon" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
We're sorry for acting this way.
- I know. - It's a blind date after all.
What did you have in mind when coming out today?
Did you have butterflies?
Yes, this is my very first blind date.
And you ordered sundae soup?
I love it.
- And you ordered lungs. - Right.
- You know how to enjoy it. - Of course.
- You need kkakdugi soup too. - Right.
Ask what their professions are.
What is your profession?
I'm a model.
- Really? - Yes.
- I'm a model too. - Really?
"I'm the before-photo model for cosmetic surgeries."
I don't know if you know this,
but I'm the T4-photo model for cosmetic surgeries.
"Before".
Before-photo model.
You can see my face at Exit 10 in Gangnam Station.
Really?
- Yes. - You're famous.
"The after-photo model hasn't woken up yet."
(Smirking)
I'm the before-photo model.
The after-photo model is still unconscious.
- Really? - He's still anesthetized.
No wonder.
Do you like animals?
- Do I like... - Animals.
Yes, I have a cat at home.
Tell him to ask, "Where is your home?"
"Where is your home?"
Say, "That's great."
(Responding)
- The breed is... - "That's great."
That's great.
"I'm leaving the country for a few days."
"Could you take care of mine?"
I'm leaving the country for a few days.
Could you take care of mine?
- "It's a stag beetle." - What is it?
- What? - What?
"You just need to give him sugar water at 4am."
It's a stag beetle.
You just need to give him a spoonful of sugar water at 4am.
(She doesn't know what to say.)
"It'll growl if it meets a beetle,"
"so please separate them."
If anyone asks you to take care of their beetles, please refuse.
My stag beetle could...
(They'll fight.)
They'll fight?
Hyuk is really good.
- He has great reactions. - He does.
Yi Kyung, what are you doing?
Once they finish talking,
make everyone concentrate on you.
I've done this before.
You might like it, so I'll do it again.
Do you know the difference between a pet dog and a rural dog?
Who shows off their talents at a blind date?
I know. It's hilarious.
He's talking about dogs out of the blue.
Pet dogs bark like this.
(Barking)
- Like this. - I think so.
This is how they express themselves.
But rural dogs bark like this.
(Laughing)
Do you get it?
Yes, I do.
I get it.
That was good. They liked it.
Yi Kyung, the date is going great.
Do you have an ideal type?
What kinds of men do you prefer?
- I like guys who are manly. - Who are manly?
Someone who has monolid...
and broad shoulders.
(Monolid, broad shoulders)
I think you're staring at me too much.
What?
It's because you asked her.
Is there anything else?
- Anything else? - Yes.
Not regarding their physical appearance,
but something that they could do.
I like men who are humorous.
I like it when they're a bit crazy.
(He's nothing but crazy.)
(He's the real deal.)
But they should read the room before doing such things.
- Right. - Show them your talent, Hyuk.
Put your fist in your mouth.
I mean, I heard women like such things.
(Having a big bite)
They didn't see him yet.
Why would he do that during a blind date?
(Look at me.)
(Shocked)
- Are you okay? - They're astonished.
Yes, it's just a part of my workout routine.
What's your ideal type?
Let's see.
- I like humorous guys as well. - I see.
I like those who are fun to talk with.
I also like guys who react well to the things I say.
(Laughing)
- Laugh a lot. - That's great. It's wonderful.
- React a lot. - That's good.
Fall back, fall back, fall back.
(He shows off his 8 years of acting experience.)
- Hyuk, don't let him win. - He's good.
It was just too funny.
(Startled)
My goodness!
(He laughs on mute.)
Goodness, Hyuk.
He's amazing.
He doesn't back down.
- Are you okay? - Are you all right?
She was startled.
That was hilarious.
Anything else about your ideal type?
- My ideal type? - Yes.
Someone who's good at dancing.
(They respond in 000.1 seconds.)
Anything else?
- Someone who's good at rapping. - Hey, check it out
Check out this style, drop the beat
(She's impressed.)
Ask them if they have anything they can show you.
So...
we tried our best...
to show you our talents...
during this blind date.
If it's all right with you two,
could you show us something too?
Could you show us something?
Here?
Yes, anything will be fine.
I can imitate a dog.
- Not howling. - Really?
So an average Jindo?
- She'll imitate a dog. - There's chemistry.
I'm sure.
(She's embarrassed.)
(Barking)
(He barks back.)
(It's a large-sized dog couple.)
- What? - That was a large-sized dog.
Why did she practice that?
Look at them.
The atmosphere is great.
- They're already a couple. - I know.
You can go home together.
(Embarrassed)
You can be a dog couple, and we'll be a model couple.
Aren't you thirsty?
Yes, I am.
Then...
- Ice cream? - Do you have ice cream?
- Ice cream? - Yes.
- All right. - Thank you.
"I'd like two Babambas."
- What? - They want you.
Me?
(Yong Jin is suddenly called out.)
What's going on?
Go there?
Yong Jin left.
What did you ride on your way here?
We rode...
My gosh.
(Yong Jin is here.)
- My gosh. - He's the ice cream shop owner.
He's a solicitor.
He's the Turkish, ice cream man.
Turkey, Turkey.
Did you want desserts?
- Are you here to have some? - Yes.
- Turkish ice cream is the best! - Turkish ice cream!
(It's the best dessert.)
Here you go.
Hold it. Come on, now.
(Giggling)
I bet you can't.
Silly, you.
(He gets a reality check.)
- Let him be. - Order him.
No, don't. Let him do it on his own.
- Let him be. - Okay.
We'd like some ice cream.
I'll give you some ice cream.
I'll ask you a question about cats.
Guess the proverb.
"A calm cat..."
- "Climbs up the stove." - "Climbs up the stove."
"A calm cat is easier to give away."
Silly, you.
- Silly, you. - Silly, you.
Silly, you.
Isn't the vibe here different?
Yes, very much so.
Yong Jin must be embarrassed. He should fight through it.
All right, Hyuk.
- Do you want some ice cream? - I do.
Then I'll ask you a question. You must answer me.
"A small chili..."
- "Is spicier." - "A small chili is what you have."
(Shocked)
This is hilarious. I'm glad he went there.
I'm really glad.
Do you remember "The Poem for the Small-sized"?
That's why he sang "The Poem for the Small-sized".
Not at all.
- Sit down. - I'm confident!
No, sit down.
He gets all worked up when we talk about this.
- Not at all. - What's wrong with you?
Yi Kyung, let's do one more.
Hey, tell them to answer your question.
I'll give you a question.
Sir.
- What is it? - What?
You shouldn't be here.
Solicitors aren't welcome here. Go away.
The vibe is indeed different.
What are you doing here? Go.
I'll give you a question.
- Try answering it. - Okay.
(His mission is over.)
Here is your ice cream.
"What does the king say when he doesn't want..."
"to go into his palace?"
What does the king say when he doesn't want...
to go into his palace?
What could it be?
What does he say?
(Curious)
The king?
Mumbling, mumbling.
That's so cute.
Hyuk. "Which neighborhood has cute breezes?"
Which neighborhood has cute breezes?
Pong-dong.
Come on.
Do you know where the obese live?
(She wants him to stop.)
- Please have some. - Gosh.
- Really? - Yes, go ahead.
- She doesn't want you to speak. - Eat up.
- I'd like to give you a question. - Sure.
Here it goes.
- Give me a chance. - Of course.
- I want to become humorous also. - Please.
By the way, could we stop by the restroom?
- Sure. - Thanks.
See you later.
We'll be back.
I think I was partnered up with the wrong master.
My master isn't easygoing either.
(Being an avatar isn't easy.)
How do you feel?
You seemed to chat a lot with the lady in front of you.
I liked both of them.
- They have great personalities. - I like both of them.
But first...
The parrot man is here.
- Really? - Yes.
The ladies have left.
What?
I thought they went to the restroom.
No, they ran away.
- They ran away? - Yes.
They didn't even bother to look back and just fled.
- They paid for everything. - Did they?
They paid for the guys.
This is the worst.
It's the worst.
(He feels bitter.)
What are we supposed to do now?
This wasn't a blind date. We were like circus.
You can leave now.
Please wipe the table before you leave.
Okay.
Please return to the monitoring room.
- Good job. - Good work.
- Great work. - Good job.
- Yi Kyung. - Good job.
- It wasn't easy. - Awesome job.
- Not at all. - That must've been difficult.
Obeying the commands wasn't easy at all.
Exactly.
Who's next?
We should move onto our next avatars.
This time...
Right, just for today,
since this is Avatar Blind Date,
let's consider ourselves not married.
- That's great. - Okay.
- You shouldn't feel pressured. - It won't be easy.
- Let's go, Je Seong. - Hold on.
- Aren't you being too greedy? - Wait a minute.
- I won't pressure you. - I'm disappointed.
We're a family.
This experience will be fun.
Su Geun, how about you control Dong Hyun?
- Congratulations. - And...
- Yong Jin. - Yong Jin will control Je Seong.
- Okay. - Avatars, let's go. Move, move!
- Let's go. - Go!
- Good luck! - Let's do it!
Okay.
(Connecting avatars)
If you can hear me, say this.
I can't hear you. I can't hear your commands.
I won't talk too much.
I'll only make you say things during crucial times.
Don't wait for my commands.
- Just talk comfortably. - Okay.
- Can you hear Su Geun? - No, I can't.
- I see. You can't? - I can only hear Yong Jin.
I need to go to the restroom.
Just do it here.
Do I need to hold it in?
You should. Why are you tense?
Okay.
Don't show your teeth. You look horrendous.
Oh, right. I colored one of them.
(He looks stupid.)
There's not much difference.
This isn't a real blind date.
It's just...
- It's staged. - Right, but be serious.
- Let's give it our all. - I need to put this on.
Ladies, enter! Come on, ladies.
- They're coming in. - Get ready.
Get ready to pull out their chairs.
Here they come.
(The ladies enter.)
(Fixated)
- The vibe is a bit different. - After pulling them out...
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
(They shyly greet each other.)
Please sit here.
After pulling the chair out, sit there.
Where should we sit?
(Excuse me.)
(This is one of the perks of being the master.)
So it's like this.
That's how it goes.
- Can we sit here? - Yes, please.
- Hello. - Hello.
(They're fascinated.)
My name is Hwang Je Seong.
- My name is Kim Dong Hyun. - Hello.
- What's your name? - My name is Yang Geu Rin.
- Really? - Geu Rin? Like green?
Yes, the color.
That's interesting.
Is it Korean?
- Yes, it is. - I see. Yang Geu Rin.
What does it mean?
My parents wanted me to become a refreshing person.
It's the Chinese character "cho".
(Sorry?)
What?
- What? - "Cho".
Green is "cho"?
I think he's talking about the Korean word for green.
(He finally gets it.)
- You said it was Korean. - Yes.
It's written in Korean.
(What came out from there?)
(He bites on his tongue.)
When we laugh, water comes out. I'm sorry.
- What's your name? - My name is Lee Yu Jin.
- Yu Jin and Geu Rin. - Yes.
"Yu Jin, are you an idol singer? I've seen you somewhere."
Yu Jin, are you an idol singer?
No, I'm not.
You are so beautiful that I mistook you for someone on TV.
She looks like a celebrity.
What does that make me?
They're both so beautiful.
You are also very beautiful.
(He is happy that the conversation is going smooth.)
- It's great. - That is going so smooth.
"Excuse me, but may I ask how old you are?"
Excuse me, but may I ask how old you are?
I'm 26.
- 26? - Yes.
I'm 26 too.
- I knew it. - You two look alike.
Dong Hyun, tell them how old you are.
Then sing the song, "What's Wrong With My Age?"
Sing it right away.
(Hesitant)
I'm 38.
- I see. - I'm 39.
- He is a year older. - I see.
(What's wrong with my age?)
(Goodness.)
(We knew Dong Hyun would sing the song like that.)
- My goodness. - He's so timid.
Do you usually dress like this?
No, we do not usually dress like this.
- Then since when? - I don't usually do this.
Your water is shooting toward the front.
Why is it doing that?
- The water gets sprayed on me. - I'm sorry.
It looks good on you.
"I went to the beach recently."
I went to the beach recently.
"I fell asleep while covering my eyes with my hand."
"So only the bottom part of my face got burned."
I fell asleep while covering my eyes with my hand like this.
So only the bottom part of my face got burned.
(Unbelievable.)
(That was funny.)
That was great.
I think Geu Rin likes my jokes.
I think you and I have the same sense of humor.
I am not sure about that.
You laughed when I said...
only the bottom part of my face got burned from sleeping like this.
Right.
Dong Hyun. Tell them you popped the pimple on your head,
and it got infected.
Well, I...
(Well, I...)
Dong Hyun. Tell them you popped the pimple on your head,
and it got infected.
Well, I...
You want to know what happened on my head, don't you?
- Isn't that chewing gum? - It is not chewing gum.
I popped the pimple, and it got infected.
(I popped the pimple, and it got infected.)
It got infected.
(Shocked)
Don't you want any drinks?
- What should we have? - You need to drink something.
Just pick any drinks you like.
If you want to order...
May I take your order?
Ask for Coolpis.
- What would you like? - You should order first.
- I want Coolpis. - Coolpis?
(Giggling)
- Do you have it? - We do not have it here.
Really?
"My lips became like this..."
"after having an omija tea here."
"So please bring me the good one."
My lips became like this...
after having an omija tea here.
Really? I'm so sorry.
"Bring me some black sesame today."
- Black sesame. - Get black sesame.
- I want Lee Mi Ja. - No, black sesame.
That is 5 minus 3. I'll get you Lee Mi Ja.
I think black sesame should be okay.
- Black sesame? - Yes.
(Gosh, this is something new.)
- I'd like that. - Dong Hyun, ask for...
some ointment.
Tell him that you need to put it on every five minutes.
(Tell him you need to put it on every 5 minutes.)
- Excuse me. - May I take your order?
- You should get some tea. - I'm sorry.
Could you bring me an ointment?
- An ointment? - Yes.
You are going to drink the ointment?
No, I have to put that on...
every five minutes because of this.
- All right. - Please get me some ointment.
Je Seong, tell them this. "This is actually pus."
My goodness. Look.
Honestly,
(Giggling)
this one I have on my head is pus.
- It's huge. - Right.
"Bring me a pot-lid so I can hide my pus."
Could you please bring me a pot-lid so that I can hide my pus?
Pot-lid?
(You have a pot?)
(Dong Hyun takes out something.)
(He takes out the pot.)
(Goodness.)
Hide your pus with that pot.
- Do you carry it all the time? - Yes, I carry it all the time.
You wear that when you are nervous.

You should get it done again.

defecation. You all know it, right?
"I have the defecation as it is."
