(They have been employers and employees until now.)
(Now, a battle over the employer's position breaks.)
(He's got amazing charisma, but is his singing skill...)
(also amazing?)
(Today doesn't seem to be his day. Producer Im Chang Jung)
(Producer Im Chang Jung's new musician, Seung Guk Lee)
(He's got the most impressive work experience as a comedian.)
(His pride is gone only 5 minutes after appearance?)
(A somewhat sad CEO, Kim Dae Hee)
(She's a gossiping comedian.)

(Episode 635)
What overpowers me is golf.
The field, the wind,
and the golf ball may wield power over me sometimes,
but I always aim for the hole cup.
Good shot.
- He said, "good shot". - Good shot.
- Good shot. - All right.
What overpowers me is my wife, Maybee.
That's so true.
Honey.
I'll work hard today here at Radio Star...
and make money for Na Gyeom, Na On, and Hee Seong's diapers.
I'll make sure to go home early.
(It was an awkward video letter.)
Okay.
There's nothing that overpowers me...
for now.
Whoever is funny has the most power in variety shows.
That means I'm have power.
What are you saying?
Just let me talk.
What are you saying?
He says himself that he has power.
What overpowers me is Song Eun I.
Currently, the leader of our group is Song Eun I.
But in terms of visual,
I'm the leader.
What is that?
You don't know. Just watch.
- Come on. - Why Celeb Five all of a sudden?
And what overpowers Radio Star is our viewers.
We're always open for your power trip regarding entertainment.
You're watching a high-end doormat program,
- Radio Star. - Star.
(Radio Star)
Today, we have our first special host to fill in for Jong Shin,
Yoon Sang Hyun.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Welcome.
- It won't be an easy position. - Right.
Right.
Speaking of which,
I prepared a present for today's special host.
- I... - Really?
I got something.
When I checked what it was,
it was something that is totally irrelevant to me.
I got these.
- What is that? - What is that?
- Baby products? - I got baby products.
- Why... - Exactly.
- Gu Ra. - Yes.
- You might need them. - No.
No. Hey.
- You might need them later. - That's ridiculous.
- No way. - What's wrong, King of Sperm?
Stop talking nonsense.
That's a long time ago.
Gu Ra, just keep them.
- You never know. - I mean...
Someone sent these to me,
but I don't need them, so I'll give it to Sang Hyun.
He can use them for his babies.
- I'll give them to Hee Seong. - Okay.
- Good. - You took them right away.
- Thank you. - I asked him...
why he accepted this position when it could be much pressure...
to fill in for Jong Shin.
Then he said his wife told him to do it definitely.
That's right. I also heard Maybee said he must do it.
She said I must do it,
but since I'm not a good talker,
I thought this might be harder...
than playing a major role in a drama.
Why are you shivering so much?
Just read what's on the script.
We don't require much.
Just read what's on the script.
Just read what's written next to your name.
That's it.
- He's right. - So...
today I told myself, "Radio Star is not a big deal."
- That's the spirit. - Exactly.
But when I was about to hold the doorknob of the studio,
my stomach started to ache.
So I went to the bathroom and...
Whoever sits here seem to love to go to the bathroom.
Right. How strange.
Right.
- So I went to the bathroom. - I see. Okay.
All right.
Today, we have invited those who want to end...
the complicated power game.
Power Dynamic Battle.
He's a singer, an actor, an entertainer, and a businessman.
He's an all-rounder.
At home, he takes care of his four sons and pregnant wife.
On Radio Star, he takes care of his junior singers.
Will he manage to multitask today as well?
Singer Im Chang Jung.
(Singer Im Chang Jung)
He's going to have his fifth baby.
- Goodness. - That's amazing.
- Chang Jung. - He's truly amazing.
Although he's a new singer who has debuted only four months ago,
he is guesting Radio Star with Chang Jung's help.
His debut song is "Mr. Popularity",
but what happened to his popularity now?
He's happy...
that Chang Jung has power over him.
Trot Singer Seung Guk Lee.
Seung Guk Lee.
You have such a unique accent.
- "Seung Guk Lee". - "Seung Guk Lee".
I like it.
- I practiced. - I want to try too.
Chang Jung!
(He wants the old-fashioned accent.)
He's the only...
not funny comedian.
He ditched his best friend, Kim Joon Ho...
and came with his junior, Kim Ji Min.
On variety shows, he's always accompanying someone,
but he's the CEO of a professional comedy agency.
Comedian Kim Dae Hee.
(Comedian Kim Dae Hee)
"I know the feeling."
made her popular,
but since "This is the best compliment",
her catchphrases are off-season.
We thought Dae Hee would support her,
but she's rather the one supporting him.
An actually beautiful comedian,
Kim Ji Min!
Ji Min.
Ji Min!
- She's my junior. - I see.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Welcome.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Welcome. - Nice to meet you.
- Nice to see you. - Hey.
(Smooching)
Can comedians please ditch this over-the-top behavior?
- Seriously... - I wanted to start funny.
That's too much.
Welcome, all four of you.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
Chang Jung is here.
It feels like I'm coming here often. And at the same time,
- it's been a while. - You came four years ago.
- I did? - Yes. I remember it,
because that's when I divorced my wife.
I'm reminded of that time.
(That's a sad reason to remember.)
- So you remember it correctly. - Yes, I do.
He was here in 2015.
Didn't I come since then?
- No. - No, you didn't.
I'm also here after four years.
Right.
You talked about the monetary gift for the wedding.
- Right. - And you got so much criticism.
(He has an excellent memory for others' disgrace.)
Dae Hee, I feel like your eyebrows are going higher.
He's becoming like the Angry Bird. Maybe it's his ideal type.
- He wasn't like this before. - You look like the Angry Bird.
- He's like the Angry Bird. - He wasn't like this before.
- No. - What has happened?
I don't know. There's nothing I should be angry about,
but somehow my eyebrows keep going up.
Your eyebrows look angry.
You look more ferocious now.
And he lost weight too.
- You look great though. - Seriously.
His eyes look sharper now.
Gu Ra, why don't you lift your eyebrows too?
What are you talking about?
This and lifted eyebrows?
That will be the worst.
Hey, just because Jong Shin is not here,
it doesn't mean you have to butt in every time.
Just act as you used to do.
Just because we don't have Jong Shin here,
doesn't mean you must say more things.
I'm just saying you should just leave your eyebrows.
- That looks rather bad. - All right.
Chang Jung, I heard you released your 15th album.
- 15th? - Impressive.
Could you sing one verse of the song?
(A sentimental song...)
(plays right away.)
(A little girl, Young Mi loves it.)
(His voice makes us crave a shot of soju.)
(The audience is fascinated.)
(He smoothly hits the high notes too.)
It's too high here. I can't sing.
(The soju glass is broken.)
Your eyes keep rolling upward when you sing.
(He hits the high notes with his eyes.)
This is the part that I can't sing because it's too high.
- His throat isn't warmed up yet. - It's morning now.
- That's right. - It's early in the morning, so...
It's because it's too early in the morning.
Most singers release single songs these days.
Did you actually release a whole album?
- Yes, it's a full-length album. - That's impressive.
- How many songs are there? - 13.
(He released a full-length album that has 13 songs in it.)
- It must have been not easy. - What I just sang is...
the title track, "Never Ending".
After naming the song, "Never Ending",
I figured I had 12 songs left...
that had to be named.
So I named each song the name of the months.
From January to December.
Then are your song titles "January", "February", "March"...
- Yes, they are. - Really?
That's what's unique about this album, and there's more.
"What a beautiful day in May."
"May is a family month."
"The next song is 'May' by Im Chang Jung."
I expect that each song will be played like this each month.
- That's what I was going for. - It'll be convenient for concerts.
You can sing the songs that correspond to each season.
As far as I know, you have your agency in Paju...
and you live in Jeju Island.
How does that work? How do you commute?
Do you stay in Paju during the week...
- and go home for the weekend? - No.
Let's say I have a schedule on Wednesday.
Then I cram all my other schedules into the day before and after.
- I see. - So I work here for three days...
and stay home for four days.
So that's how you do it.
I'm not sure if it's okay that I ask this,
but you seem to own many businesses including the trotter restaurant.
When do you do that?
Where is the trotter restaurant?
Didn't you own a lot of restaurants like cod stew restaurants?
Each restaurants is run by the experts.
What I do is to introduce good restaurants...
I randomly discovered to people.
- I see. - That's my role.
- So you're a broker? - Broker?
- Broker. - Exactly.
- Exactly. - Right?
I'm a broker.
- But actually... - Brokers are important.
I don't ask the restaurant owners for the recipe.
They cook...
- and I deliver. - I see.
- That's a good business item. - That's what I do.
Dae Hee seems interested.
He's a businessman too, after all. He seems interested.
I'm listening carefully.
All I can see is his eyebrows.
You have been seeing his face the whole time. What's wrong?
You have been seeing it the whole time.
- Until now, I haven't noticed. - You haven't?
They look like visual effects today.
I don't feel any pressure today.
Good.
(He doesn't need to worry about visual effects either.)
Chang Jung, what's your relationship with Seung Guk?
Could you introduce Seung Guk to us?
Recently, I produced two songs...
- of young singers. - I see.
One is "Begin Again" by Kim Jae Hwan.
- Of Wanna One? - Yes.
I produced that song.
I produced the trot singer, Seung Guk's songs as well.
So this is what happened.
His close friend is a regular customer of my restaurant.
- The trotter restaurant. - He comes every day.
- To the trotter restaurant. - He comes literally every day.
One day, when I was drinking in the trotter restaurant,
I got excited and asked them to go to a karaoke with me.
That's how you figured he was a singer?
It turned out he was such a great singer.
And that's after you gave up on your singing career.
I quit being a trainee and was doing something else then.
What was it?
I was running a sashimi restaurant together with my older brother.
- Were you the cook? - I deboned,
sliced,
and peeled the fish.
- So you were running a restaurant. - And...
And you frequented to the trotter place for a drink...
and ended up meeting him?
Yes, exactly.
He's such a hard-working boy,
and I felt bad wasting his singing skills.
I thought to myself, "Should he be a ballad singer again?"
"Then he will be my rival."
That's why I decided to make him a trot singer.
- I told him to be a trot singer. - So you're safe.
I asked him to sing trot song,
and it turned out he didn't know how to sing trot at all.
Whatever he sings sounded like a rhythm and blues.
What trot song do you know?
"Oh, My" by Jang Yun Jung.
- Could you sing that? - Please sing "Oh, My".
(Oh, my)
(He's got a very breathy voice.)
- Woman's hearts - Oh, my goodness.
- Like the reeds - He's good.
- Jung Yup? - He sounds like Jung Yup.
Could you sing Naul's song too?
His voice is similar to Naul's too.
- I can sing "Bit by Bit" by Naul. - Please let us hear it.
(I'm drifting away from you)
(He's got the voice.)
(He fumes Naul's voice through his nose.)
(His voice suits rhythm and blues music perfectly.)
- He's so good. - He's really good.
But why...
So you turned the singer who was specialized in rhythm and blues...
into a trot singer?
Yes, I kept training him,
and he can sing trot now.
This is what I am the most curious about.
How is your name "Seung Guk Lee" supposed to be called?
- My real name is Lee Seung Guk. - Really?
- So it's reversed. - "Lee Seung Guk"?
- My name is Lee Seung Guk. - "Lee Seung Guk".
He will have to perform overseas too, so...
"Seung Guk Lee" sounds better than "Lee Seung Guk".
- "Seung Guk Lee". - "Seung Guk Lee".
You were thinking about going abroad already when you named it.
But we can't address him, "Mr. Seung Guk Lee".
- I know. "Mr. Seung Guk Lee". - Just call him Seung Guk.
You can call me simply Seung Guk...
or Mr. Seung Guk.
You can't call him, "Hey, Seung Guk".
- Not, "Hey, Seung Guk". - "Mr. Seung Guk Lee".
(He prepares the next question.)
- Seung Guk... - Don't be so nervous.
He's just listening quietly.
I thought you were dead. Please make some sound.
I want to talk,
but I don't know when to butt in.
- Just butt in anytime. - Yes.
When I was entering the studio,
all I could see was Dae Hee from a distance.
- Because he looks angry. - His angry face stands out.
There you go.
Just relax. It's okay.
He said he was so quiet that he thought he was dead.
It's okay.
- He says you should breathe. - We should keep checking on him.
He's got the sense for variety shows.
He does. I know.
- I mean... - He's good.
Before I came here,
I heard Seung Guk was coming,
and Maybee said she used to be in the same agency he was in.
- He was a trainee there. - Yes.
She said he's a great singer...
and a very nice and hard-working man.
She told me to be nice to him.
But it looks like I have got my own problem here.
- You are being nice to him. - Yes, you are.
- You're doing great. - You are.
- He keeps calling his name. - Exactly.
You're being nice to him.
Dae Hee, the word you said the most...
during the pre-interview is "No, I don't have any"?
I had a pre-interview with the writers...
- You don't have stories to tell. - and it turns out...
I had no interesting story to tell.
I was here four years ago, and nothing interesting happened since.
What have you done during the past four years?
Look, Dae Hee. Stories...
don't have to be something interesting...
that happened between you and other comedians.
It can be something small that happened in your life.
For example, something that happened while babysitting.
- You can tell us those things too. - Small things will be cut out.
- Not necessarily. - That's right.
He doesn't even react to small things.
And yet he always say he wants small anecdotes.
If he does, you'll say, "I thought you were dead."
No, I won't.
Exactly four years ago, I told you a story here,
and you were glaring at me like you would kill me.
I'm not like that anymore. I've changed a lot.
You said he should rather be on a documentary show.
Could you tell us something small now?
- To see how he reacts. - There's a long queue...
for the documentary show now.
Just tell us something small.
I have nothing interesting to tell,
- so I asked myself, "Why?" - Could you tell us...
what happened with your eyebrows?
He doesn't know that he looks funny.
Wouldn't that be interesting? Who did it?
Was it your wife's suggestion?
"Wife's suggestion"?
My stylist said...
my eyebrows were too droopy...
and it made me look dumb.
She said I would look better if I trim them a bit.
So she groomed my eyebrows.
And I liked it.
He's so angry now.
- He looks so angry. - Really?
Since I had no stories to tell,
I asked myself why and looked back on myself.
And I realized I'm a comedian version of Yoon Sang Hyun.
(I'm a comedian version of Yoon Sang Hyun.)
- So... - I mean...
- He's saying he's a family man. - I have been focusing on my kids.
- You have three kids, right? - He's a family man.
Yes, I have three daughters. And I love staying at home.
And your wife is quite tight, right?
(Your wife is quite tight, right?)
That's what I heard.
What do you mean by "tight"?
- What does that mean? - I mean...
- What do you mean by that? - I mean...
When I said, "tight",
I meant she is strict to her husband.
- You mean she nags me? - Yes, that's what I meant.
- No, she's not. - She's not?
No, she's not. She's loose.
- She is? - She rather tells him softly,
like "Honey, you should go."
Although it sounds very commanding.
- "You should go." - "You should go."
- That's her tone. - Yes.
- At the end... - She talks like, "You should go."
She's like that.
When I ask her, "Is it okay to hang out with my friends late?"
Then she says, "Well, no."
- It's a no after all. - She just has a loose tone.
- Well... - I see.
So Dae Hee, you're satisfied with such a life, right?
I am totally.
That's good then.
I did lose...
the character I had before marriage...
because of my wife though.
- What is it? - I had a frugal character.
- Right, you did. - Right.
- You earned a lot of money from it. - I used that a lot.
I tried to look like a frugal man...
Why do you call it your character? It was just you.
- He tried to exaggerate it. - I don't know...
why he glamorizes himself.
I deliberately tried to look frugal.
So I have more stories to tell.
But after I got married,
- she told me I shouldn't do that. - Not to live like that.
She told me to buy things for my juniors.
- She told you to be generous. - He does buy many things for us.
She said that one thing,
and I lost my only character, a frugal man.
And now I have nothing interesting to talk about.
I had the interview with the writers for two hours.
And the writers were looking at me like...
they should not have invited me to the show.
I'm like a dud.
- It sounded like that. - I...
You're catching on fast these days, at least.
You're catching on fast.
- I learned how after I got married. - Now that you're a businessman...
That's why your eyebrows went up.
You're too mean. Stop it.
All right.
(He's getting by with his raised eyebrows today.)
Ji Min, recently,
you received a big welcome from Donghae, Gangwon Province?
Didn't you grow up in Gangwon Province?
- I grew up in Donghae. - I see.
I've had some offers to speak at an event,
and I've accepted to speak.
It's hard to give a speech to middle and high school students.
As for middle school students, they focus for like 10 minutes.
- Afterward, they're on their phone. - Right.
- They have short attention spans. - Yes.
So I was going to turn it down.
Since I grew up there,
I went. When I went,
everyone gave me their full attention for the first time.
When I asked,
I'm the only celebrity who grew up in Donghae, Gangwon Province.
- You're the only celebrity. - Yes.
In their eyes,
- I was their role model. - And they would feel closer to you.
- Right. - Those students in Donghae.
When I got that note, I teared up.
By the way, that's the first story of our show today.
It was boring.
The story was like Pyeongyang naengmyeon.
- She's living a boring life. - Yes.
- Story like Pyeongyang naengmyeon. - Well done.
- I have a bad feeling about it. - It was great.
- All right. - You should...
- The CEO was satisfied. - exaggerate it a bit.
It was moving. I liked it.
(It was moving. I liked it.)
You're doing well.
(Not moving)
I got it.
- Don't be so nervous. - What?
Don't put your hands there. Put your hands on the table.
- Why do you look so nervous? - Drink the water.
- You're so nervous. - You don't usually sit like that.
- Why are you so nervous? - Why today...
- By the way, he looks so young. - Yes.
- Actually... - You're about the same age.
- Yes, I know that we are. - Sang Hyun.
- When were you born? - I was born in 1973.
I was also born in 1973.
I saw you sitting here when I was over there.
- He looked boyish. We all saw him. - Right.
- He looks young. His hairstyle... - I mean...
- looks young too. - he looks like a psychopath today.
- Psychopath? - You know, there's a psychopath...
who looks like him in dramas.
Why are you being so mean all of a sudden?
What's wrong with you? You won't let me talk!
- Just do it right. - Come on.
If you're going to do it, do it right.
- Or don't do it. - Unbelievable.
(Thinking about reality)
If you're going to do it, do it right. Seriously.
Gosh, I'm so sick of you.
(I'm so sick of you.)
So you're quite closer to Gook Jin than we think.
- That's me. - It's Dae Hee.
- I meant to say "Dae Hee". - I know.
- I'm sorry to say this, - Yes?
but I feel like I'm being interrogated.
- Try to understand him. - I was going to make this funny.
- It's my first time here. - Cut him some slack.
- Cut him some slack. - It's all right.
- Can I talk about this? - Yes.
So this is a bit complicated.
Listen carefully.
He's my sister-in-law's...
- husband's... - Okay.
cousin. It turns out they are cousins.
- I didn't know about that either. - You're basically strangers.
I found out long after getting married.
- "Strangers"? - They are just strangers.
- You two are strangers. - They are no better than strangers.
- You two are strangers. - You're totally strangers.
After listening to them, I think we're just strangers.
Are we?
- You guys are the in-laws. - In that logic, we're all related.
- You are like in-laws. - Then we're all related.
Is there a famous celebrity...
in your immediate family other than Gook Jin?
Is there?
My mother's...
older brother...
- That's your uncle. - Yes.
He's a singer.
- Who? - Who is it?
His name is Jung Won.
- I see. Jung Won. - Do you know him?
- He's a singer from the old days. - Yes.
- That's right. - "Vain Heart".
- He was on "Golden Oldies" too. - Yes.
Why didn't you tell us that you were close with him?
He passed away.
Is that so?
Goodness. Gosh.
- Things aren't working out today. - How futile.
- We're doomed today. - He was a famous singer.
- He passed away? - Right.
- Is that so? - Gosh.
- By the way, - I see.
- you must've bragged about him... - He's taking care of his nephew...
- when you were young. - even when he's gone.
Here's a story about him. My mom told me...
to say that my uncle was Jung Won, the singer,
if I meet Tae Jin Ah on a TV show.
She told me to just say that.
- And I met him on a TV show. - So what happened?
I was hesitant, but I approached him.
I said hello, and he accepted my greeting.
Ad he was about to pass by me.
When I told him that my uncle was Jung Won,
he turned around and said,
"What? You're Jung Won's nephew?"
When I said that I was, he took out his wallet right away.
He took out the 100-dollar check and gave it to me.
- Your uncle was his senior singer. - Yes.
- Of course, he was. - Yes.
- Why didn't you tell them about it? - Exactly. Why was that a secret?
That was the most entertaining story today.
Seriously. He can't see which stories are good.
(I found a story!)
I...
I have two questions.
- Two? - Yes.
I'd like to know which brand you're wearing now, Ji Min.
Oh, this? Do you like this?
My wife doesn't go shopping for clothes.
She doesn't shop at all, so I buy most of her clothes.
- I buy clothes for her. - That's right.
- You buy clothes for her. - I want an elegant shirt like that.
He likes elegant, yet unique clothes.
- Yes. - You want to buy it for her?
- I've been looking at it. - I'll tell you later.
I liked the lace detail on it.
- I'll tell you later. - Tell him later. And what else?
You said that you've witnessed my nasty ambitious side.
- What is it? Did I curse? - Yes.
- What is this about? - He and I...
- Don't you remember? - 50 cents?
- "If you're curious, pay 50 cents." - "A Beggar's Dignity".
- Were you a guest to the segment? - Yes.
- Yes, I was. - That's right.
(Sang Hyun was on "Gag Concert" for "A Beggar's Dignity".)
I was so into the drama, "Secret Garden"...
when I met him.
I had a big fantasy about him.
When Heo Kyeong Hwan dressed up as a beggar,
he would paint his face to look dirty.
After looking at Kyeong Hwan's face,
he started to paint more stuff on his face.
- You'd get ambitious. - Yes.
When I was filming "Secret Garden",
I always made sure to watch "A Beggar's Dignity".
- Do you like such segments? - Even when I was filming.
- You like segments like that? - Yes.
- Is that so? - They didn't ask me to be in it.
- I told them I wanted to do it. - Really?
- That's true. - Really?
I thought if I was going to do it, I wanted to do it right.
- He's great. - But Kyeong Hwan...
didn't put much paint on his face.
- Really? - He wants to look good.
He wants to look handsome with the paint on.
- He wants to look less ugly. - Right.
He puts paint on places that would look nice.
He must've learned a lesson from Sang Hyun.
He spared nothing for the segment.
Although Ji Min is a comedian,
she took great care of me.
She asked me if I needed water or wanted coffee.
- She kept taking care of me. - Yes.
He was single then.
(Chuckling)
I did my best.
- You did your best? - Right.
I didn't practice. I just took care of him.
(Snacks)
She said she did her best.
You couldn't even look him in the eyes.
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star...
with guests that help each other when they are in a power dynamic.
We'll start today's discussion, "Power Dynamic Battle".
- All right. - Great.
We're starting now?
You did a great job starting the discussion.
- The thing is... - We're starting now?
that I need some distance. I'm wearing reading glasses now.
- He has presbyopia. - I have presbyopia.
- I can't read it up close. - Really?
His looks don't go well with presbyopia.
All right, Seung Guk.
After experiencing the worst of auditions,
you were able to make your debut.
I used to go to Chang Jung's restaurant often.
And one day, we were both in the mood...
- and went to karaoke. - I see.
After listening to my singing,
he said, "Sing one more."
- He told you to keep singing. - He said,
"I sing 18 songs at concerts."
"Sing until I stop you."
He made me sing about 15 songs that day.
- My gosh. - And?
Afterward, he called me often.
- Wherever I went, I called him. - Afterward...
One day, he made me sing in front of the dancers.
And one day, I sang in front of his friends.
- He wanted to show you off. - And in front of agents too.
After going through several tours like that...
That's when it crossed my mind.
"Gosh, it would be awesome..."
"if he can sing trot songs with that voice."
I told him to keep singing.
But you're a ballad singer.
- Right. - But how...
I just get excited like trot singers.
I don't have the singing techniques like the trot singers.
I can't pull that off.
But I know if someone will be a good fit when I hear him.
I know if someone can sing or not.
Let's say that the intro is playing.
I would know just by that.
- Come on. That's a lie. - I'm serious.
- Listen. - How would you know that?
- I'm sure Dae Hee and Ji Min know. - I know what you mean.
It's not just about singing.
- They know if someone is funny... - Right.
- or not when they try to be funny. - That's right.
- I can tell by the way he stands. - Really?
When someone tries to impersonate Maeng Gu...
- The moment he does this... - No, it's before that.
- No, it's before that. - Is it?
"I'll impersonate Maeng Gu."
(Only the experts have these sharp eyes.)
- Then we'd know. - Even before that.
(That's fascinating.)
Dae Hee and Ji Min are in the same agency.
And yet, you're not comfortable to star in a show together.
Ji Min's role on variety shows is...
to attack people.
She exposes people.
- I do? - She exposes people?
So whoever stars with Ji Min...
will be completely stripped.
- My stories are based on facts. - All right.
- The problem is... - She exposes people?
Let's say that she exposes people, and they are completely exposed.
It'd be okay as long as she ends the stories...
on a nice note to save the person, but she doesn't do that.
- She leaves them totally exposed. - She exposes them. And she's done.
Do you know a secret about Dae Hee?
Dae Hee?
I have one.
- He's very close with Hong In Gyu. - Yes.
His homing instinct is crazy good.
When he gets drunk,
he goes home on time.
My wife is a bit strict.
Yes, she gets that way when he drinks.
Anyway, In Gyu brought a car that day.
And he didn't bring his car.
Since he was drunk, he asked In Gyu for a favor.
"I'll call the chauffeur service."
"Let me borrow your car. And you can go home."
In Gyu lives in Incheon.
And Dae Hee lives in Namyangju.
- They are on opposite sides. - That's far.
That's all I knew at the time. And the next day,
In Gyu woke up. He opened his eyes.
He didn't recognize where he was.
"Where am I?"
And he was in his car.
When he looked up,
he wasn't at his apartment complex.
"What is happening?"
And he realized that he was at Dae Hee's apartment complex.
So he only called the chauffeur service to his house.
And he left In Gyu there and left.
That's awful!
- That was the story. - My gosh.
- Gosh. - No way.
- This is a terrible story. - No, no.
- No. - That was so wrong.
Let me try to make this into a nice story.
This is what In Gyu told us.
After hearing that, we all criticized Dae Hee,
but In Gyu said, "I'm sure Dae Hee thought..."
"that the chauffeur was going to drop me off in Incheon..."
"when he went home." That's what In Gyu said.
In Gyu is really nice.
- Why is he so darned nice? - Right.
- He's the kindest among us. - He's the kindest.
He's a nice guy.
- All right. - You can go with this.
We should wrap up In Gyu's story.
That was a wrap.
- I wrapped it up for you. - No, wait.
- He's exposed now. - If the story ends like this...
- After getting exposed, - Actually...
- he's trying to save himself. - If it ends here, I'll be trashed.
("Shocking News about Kim Dae Hee's Chauffeur Service")
In Gyu told me about this incident.
I was really sorry,
so I gave him monetary compensation.
- You paid for it. - I see. Okay.
- I see. You did. - Okay.
Gosh, I can picture hateful comments toward me.
If this story gets published as an article,
no one will leave comments.
(No one will leave comments.)
Really?
No one is interested in both of you.
Come on.
Let me be clear. No one is interested in you or In Gyu.
- Really? - We're not interested.
This is sadder.
- This is sadder. - Here's why.
This would have made news if this happened five years ago.
But nowadays, people aren't interested...
- in you or In Gyu. - No comments.
There won't be any comments.
- Don't worry about him. - Right.
- Can I keep going then? - Don't worry about that.
- Stop it as we're not interested. - Should I?
(Stop exposing people we're not interested in.)
Ji Min,
you can't put up with Dae Hee when he gives himself credit.
He came up with a segment called "Reversed Secret Affair".
(It was a parody of a drama called "Secret Affair".)
(Old Yoo Ah In and Young Kim Hee Ae became a hit.)
I'm scolding you sternly.
To tell the truth, I was just riding on his coattail.
Back then, I didn't have my own segment.
So I was off "Gag Concert".
I thanked him and went to practice.
He gave me the script.
It was very clear that my name wasn't on the script.
It said, "Bo Ra".
I guess Shin Bo Ra was supposed to join him.
- People would usually fix that. - Shin Bo Ra.
- Right. - But...
So I was worried about it.
Luckily, the segment passed and aired on TV.
- I was grateful since it was funny. - With the segment,
- We won the award. - both of us won awards.
It's been 3 to 4 years since the segment ended.
He still talks about it.
- "I put you in instead of Bo Ra." - I see. That?
(I put you instead of Bo Ra.)
He still mentions it.
I used to say that up until a year ago.
- A year ago? - Yes, I did say that.
- Was that wrong? - No.
- I could give myself credit for it. - Right.
A long time ago, I worked with Dae Hee and Kim Joon Ho.
- We worked together on "Zoo". - "Zoo".
When we worked together,
Dae Hee made me cringe all the time.
- He was forcing to have... - He was forcing it, right?
- catchphrases. - I knew it.
The catchphrase we had was...
"Gosh,"
"that's too much."
- He told me to say that. He said... - Isn't that nice?
- I could make 500,000 dollars. - 500,000 dollars?
That was the first time...
I couldn't look the audience in their eyes.
- It came out of nowhere. - Many comedians make that mistake.
Gosh,
- that's too much. - That's too much.
- I remember that. - It's catchy, you know.
- Yes. - I got so red in the face.
- You were annoyed. - I was humiliated.
- It's annoying at first. - We don't make you do such things.
- But I keep saying it. - We don't do that kind of stuff.
It was so hard back then.
That's understandable.
- He said I couldn't make it work. - That's understandable.
- Are you trying to make it popular? - This is his current one.
I'm pushing for this catchphrase now.
- That's understandable. - I knew it.
- Gosh, - But I...
that's too much.
That's understandable.
It worked here. It did.
(Laughing)
Seung Guk, you said...
- Chang Jung isn't that strict. - Chang Jung isn't?
I met him...
before I made my debut.
And I was in another industry then.
When you ran the sashimi restaurant, you were just the owner next door.
That's why when he meets with his junior singers,
- they are so polite while drinking. - Right.
They do this and all.
But I cross my legs.
I would clink my glass like this too.
When I behaved causally,
people around me wondered how I could be so casual with him.
"How can he be so casual?"
But you can't be casual now?
Not at all.
After he made his debut, he puts on an act.
(Putting on an act)
He's all act.
Actually, you're here today thanks to Chang Jung.
You're on our show four months after your debut.
Did you prepare special talents to stand out? Did you prepare them?
- Do you not have any? - No, I have some.
To tell you the truth, to sit in that seat...
We placed you there since you are here as pairs today.
You haven't done anything so far in my opinion.
I have never crossed this line on Radio Star.
- I'm always below this line. - Right.
- This is considered an upgrade. - Hey, Radio Star.
- I always sat there. - You always sat there.
We're being really considerate for the sake of Chang Jung.
You have to stand out with your own talents now. Do you have anything?
I prepared something called ballot.
- Ballot? - Ballot?
It's a compound word of ballad and trot.
- Ballot. I see. What else? - Ballot.
- R-rot. - What's that?
It's a mix of rhythm and blues and trot.
- They sound similar. - I prepared them.
Let's hear R-rot. I've never heard that.
- Sure. - Show us.
As for R-rot...
A long time ago, Jung Yup sang this song.
There's a song named "Unrequited Love" by Ju Hyun Mi.
I'll sing that song.
(A harmony of elegant techniques and heart-touching emotions)
(When your eyes and mine meet)
(Impressed)
(I don't know what that means, I really don't know)
(Totally focused)
(His grooves are just like Jung Yup's.)
(Meanwhile, he's analyzing the talent.)
(I guess it's love)
(He finishes analyzing it.)
His voice is so good.
He's a great singer.
How could you sing so well?
Do you not have any funny talents?
(Not that. Do you not have any funny talents?)
- He tried. - Then...
I'm just asking.
- But... - You prepared the talents.
- Let's hear his ballot. - We still have ballot left.
- Sing the ballot. - "Ballot"?
I'll sing Chang Jung's song.
- It's called "Love Again". - Right.
I'll sing that one.
(The fact that I met you)
(Looking strict)
(He sings with all of his heart while thinking about his tours.)
(This will work if this is funny.)
(He's showing off his talent as if it's a test to be a comedian.)
That wasn't ballot.
- My gosh. - That was good too.
But how does this sound like ballad and trot?
What he did was...
adjust the volume of his voice here and there.
Listen.
My song would sound like this if it was a trot song.
(The fact that we met)
Shouldn't it be like this?
Perhaps
(This is how to be funny!)
- He's good. Nice. - Nice.
Shouldn't it sound like this?
(He's indeed a talented senior singer.)
Seung Guk, you said...
that you are in a tight spot with Chang Jung's advice.
Whenever I'm performing...
or starring on TV shows or radio shows,
Chang Jung just tells me to do whatever I want.
- That's good advice. - "Just be yourself."
I tell him two things.
"Don't try to be funny on variety shows."
- "Don't try to stand out." - But is he funny?
- He's funny in private. - Really?
When he's off camera, he's so witty.
But what's wrong with him now?
I mean... Hey, look.
Being witty isn't something that just happens randomly.
- It's an innate quality. - Right.
- But he doesn't seem witty today. - Today...
- He's witty? - Keep going.
- Go on. - So I tell him...
not to be funny on variety shows.
I told him that when people ask him questions,
he should answer in a classy manner.
I told him only then, he could be himself.
That's what he told me.
But the agency and my agent said,
"When you go there, your back should be always bent."
"Make sure you always say hello."
That's for skaters.
And after hearing two opposite advice,
- he's confused in the middle. - He's confused.
He's having an identity crisis.
- And... - That's not it. You can be funny...
- while being polite. - Chang Jung...
- Even if he's new... - It's all about the confidence...
- when he said to be classy. - Isn't that true?
You can be classy and funny at the same time.
This is his 1st time here. It's his 1st time.
- I know that. Right. - This is his first time.
- You're basically slapping him. - No, no.
- My gosh, that's too much. - That's too much.
(At last, it was funny.)
- Dae Hee, that was nice. - Really?
- This worked. - See? He said this was nice.
You'll get offers for commercials with this.
- My gosh. - You'll get offers now.
- From now on, - He's gunning for commercials.
only one person should say, "Gosh".
- Yes, yes. - And we'll say the rest.
- Yes, let's do that. - We'll say the rest.
Let's give it a try.
I won't do it.
- I won't do it. - He's stubborn.
Gosh,
- that's too much. - That's too much.
(Promise you'll do this?)
Seung Guk.
Sometimes, you get sick of Chang Jung.
From time to time, we have a gathering.
When we have a gathering in Seoul,
we always go there.
- His jokbal restaurant? - Yes.
- Come on. - Gosh.
You must be sick of jokbal.
I never get sick of it.
How could that be possible?
I would order the basic jokbal set.
And I get another dish delivered.
(He's not sick of it.)
Gosh.
- That's too much. - That's too much.
Goodness.
(The catchphrase is contagious.)
This is why catchphrases are poisonous.
What was that?
- It was nice before we did that. - He said he wouldn't do it.
- He said he wouldn't do it. - What is this?
He did it though. He did it.
You've eaten too much jokbal.
I go there almost every day.
He goes there every day.
- And I go there almost every day. - You should tell him.
"Chang Jung."
"Can we please stop eating jokbal? Can we please eat something else?"
I can't say that now.
- Why not? - I have already begun to pretend.
- You should have said that earlier. - Is that his funny side?
(Is that his funny side?)
Well, is it?
Is that his funny side? Should I wait a bit longer?
All right, all right.
Is it beginning to come out?
- He is really eccentric. - Okay, okay.
- He is really eccentric. - All right.
He sat with his legs crossed in front of a senior singer.
- Really? - He sat like this.
I didn't think of Chang Jung as a senior singer...
- back then. - He was simply an older friend.
To be honest, he was simply a celebrity.
I recently went to a barbecue restaurant.
A man who sat in a table next to mine...
must have been about 20 years old.
He said, "Sir, please be mindful of the smoke."
(He was taken aback by the man's bold remark.)
That's unbelievable.
Let me tell you...
Let me tell you why...
- I was taken aback. - Gosh, that's so refreshing.
The smoke from my table didn't reach him that much.
Also, he called me "sir".
It suits you.
He said, "Sir, please be mindful of the smoke."
I said, "Oh, okay."
I ate carefully and left the restaurant.
He seemed to recognize me,
but he still called me "sir". It was interesting.
(My goodness.)
- Dae Hee. - Yes?
You changed the company motto because of Ji Min.
- This is a sad story. - Ji Min...
- is incredibly passionate... - She is passionate about work.
about work.
When I was the CEO of the company,
she often came to me and said,
- "I am begging you." - "Get me more work."
"Please make it so that I wear makeup every day."
Really?
It's quite the metaphor.
"Please make it so that I wear makeup every day."
I felt a bit bad for her.
Then I thought, "It's a nice expression."
The company motto was,
"Personality, tenacity, and sentimentality."
I called it "Three Tys".
The three items rhyme.
- They rhyme quite nicely. - Good job.
You put a lot of thoughts into it.
- The old motto sounded too formal, - It doesn't touch your heart.
- so I decided to change it. - What about...
"Let's wear makeup every day."
It's a good one.
I almost made it the new motto,
but the employees protested,
and the plan didn't fall through.
I should make it my company motto.
(Let's wear makeup every day.)
(Chang Jung picks up a company motto.)
According to Dae Hee,
Young Mi is a scary junior comedian.
I have never been scary.
You should know how Young Mi was when she was a newbie.
She debuted at the age of 22.
Back then, Young Mi was like...
a teenage girl.
Whenever I called her name, she went...
That's right.
Whenever I called her name, she went...
(Hearing her name was enough to make Young Mi laugh.)
I thought, "What is wrong with her?"
- She got scolded a lot. - Yes.
She seemed a bit silly.
- She had the image... - That's right.
- of a naive and innocent girl. - I was 22 years old.
That's right.
She had a concert a few years ago.
- "Drip Girls". - "Drip Girls".
When she had a concert titled "Drip Girls",
I visited to congratulate her.
On my way to the makeup room to say hello to her,
I saw Young Mi walk over.
"Young Mi, congratulations on the concert."
As she walked past me, she went, "I am glad you came."
She changed in a matter of a few years.
Yes. She slapped my cheek. "I am glad you came."
Then she walked past me.
(What did I see just now?)
- I... - Did you think, "Is she insane?"
I didn't think that.
Instead of confusion,
I felt fear.
(I felt fear.)
There is a blank space between her two phases.
- She suddenly changed. - That's right.
I was defenseless.
- "I am glad you came." - There wasn't a middle stage.
Back then, I was channeling...
Kim Boo Sun.
"Hey, I am glad you came."
I see.
You should slap me harder. I didn't feel anything.
You should slap me harder.
"Hey, I am glad you came."
- There you go. - My goodness.
Take this further. Take this further.
(Young Mi and Gu Ra have the perfect chemistry.)
Chang Jung, you founded a company.
I heard that you are very mindful of the trainees.
Usually, it's the other way around.
To get to the office, I have to pass...
the practice room on the first floor.
That's where the trainees practice.
At first, it felt awkward...
to pass by without saying hello.
So I said, "Hey, kids."
(The trainees were excited to see Chang Jung.)
"What am I going to do? Hello!"
Then it happened every day.
That's right. It's burdensome.
- It's burdensome. - They are busy practicing.
- That's right. - Now,
they act like they didn't see me.
It's understandable.
- They are wise. - Really?
I can't help but become mindful...
since I feel bad.
Are you preparing an audition program?
It's airing right now.
- Are you in it? - Yes.
The concept is the star academy.
It's like a school...
and I play the principal.
- You produced the program. - Yes.
Who else is in the show?
The director is Jung Joon Ho.
(The director is Jung Joon Ho.)
He really seems like the director.
The dean of students is Lee Sang Min.
All of them are associated with the business.
I think they will make a franchise business.
It sounds like an interesting program.
The acting coach of Classroom One is Oh Ji Ho.
- Oh Ji Ho. - The acting coach...
of Classroom Two is Oh Hyeon Gyeong.
- The cast is impressive. - Also,
it's important for trainees...
to know how to dance...
- these days. - That's right.
We have the number one dance crew...
in the world on the show.
Just Jerk.
I know who they are! I love them so much.
Just Jerk is the dance teacher.
- Really? - Just Jerk?
- Just Jerk. - I want to attend this school.
- I know. - Don't be ridiculous.
- I am a huge fan of Just Jerk. - I really want to attend it.
I watch their videos every day.
It's like "Miss Trot", right?
It's a variety show.
You produced it.
It's similar to "Produce 101".
What does the principal do?
I do what any principal would do.
I manage the teachers...
and give the students singing lessons...
- and acting lessons. - You can act as well.
You can teach them everything. You are talented.
Do students get to learn...
how to open a franchise business?
No? No?
- No? - What about a jokbal restaurant?
It could be a jokbal franchise.
I thought you were teaching everything.
You are well-versed in business too.
- Gosh. - I see that I was wrong.
You know, Chang Jung...
You remember "Superstar K", right?
He was the first MC.
- That's right. - That's right.
He came before Kim Seong Ju.
Not many people remember that.
- Yes. - I just remembered it now.
I was in the show until the third episode.
I was already planning to make an audition program...
when the offer to be the MC of "Superstar K" came in.
I read the script and saw that the format was the same.
I thought to myself, "Once the program airs,"
"it will be a big hit." That was how I became the MC.
- Then why did you quit? - In three episodes,
people who invested in the show protested.
"Im Chang Jung is too lacking as an MC."
(Im Chang Jung is too lacking as an MC.)
(Laughing)
- The investors became worried. - The thing is,
I knew the story already.
But it's fun to hear it from him.
Seriously.
I knew the story already.
- So I... - That's right.
- I can't be good at everything. - That's right.
- It's understandable. - You can't be good at everything.
- It's understandable. - Yes.
You can't be good at everything.
Chang Jung, the principal won't change along the way, right?
(Gu Ra teases him until the end.)
The principal could change if the investors protest.
I can laugh about it now,
but it really hurt my feelings back then.
It's all in the past.
All right, all right.
Please put a raincloud over my head.
(It hurt my feelings.)
Dae Hee.
You said Ji Min makes a better team...
- with Kim Joon Ho. - He is like a judge.
- I am sorry. - He read it like a sentence.
- They make a better team. - I get it now.
Why does Sang Hyun read all of my questions?
(Kim Dae Hee, I only have eyes for you.)
- Are you complaining? - No, I like it.
- He is frustrated. - No.
- "Dae Hee." - Will you appeal?
It's okay. I accept.
You accept.
(Embarrassed)
Well... What was the question?
Your Honor, please read the question again.
Sang Hyun's bangs were very curly in the beginning.
Now, they are limp.
- They are limp. - He became haggard.
He should see himself when the episode airs.
- I feel bad. - It's like that at first.
(I will try harder.)
- You can do it. - Okay.
You said Ji Min makes a better team...
with Kim Joon Ho.
That's true. Right.
They get along quite nicely.
But Ji Min, you said Dae Hee recently touched your heart.
It's about Dae Hee's transformation.
He lost 7kg.
When he clipped his toenails back in the days,
he had to sit like this.
He was chubbier back then.
Now that he lost weight,
he clips his toenails like this.
Seeing that pose...
made me feel sad. It was like looking at my grandpa.
- "Dad has become old." - That's right.
Do you always clip your toenails outside?
(That came out of nowhere.)
I mean...
A 1,000-year-old rat could eat them and take your shape.
- There is an old story. - An old rat might come and say,
- "I am Kim Dae Hee." - Do you clip your toenails often?
Don't your toenails just erode?
- What are you talking about? - Your toenails...
- Don't you clip your toenails? - It's like a yearly event.
- Really? - Really?
I don't clip my toenails very often.
Really?
Doesn't the inside of the shoes wear them down?
That makes no sense.
I clip my fingernails once a month.
- Once a month? - Once a month?
- Once a month? - What nonsense are you spouting?
It's no wonder your fingernails are so long.
What nonsense are you spouting?
- It's Gook Jin's period. - Your fingernails...
Gook Jin had his period today.
- It's a monthly ordeal. - I clipped my fingernails earlier.
How do you clip your fingernails once a month?
They would get too long.
Fingernails are easier to clip...
when they are long.
Don't people clip their toenails once every six months?
- Once every six months? - I clip them once a year.
- But... - I clip them once a year.
- I clip them once a year too. - Once every six months?
- There are so many weirdos. - This is hilarious.
Men are like that.
- No, I am not like that. - Do men's bodies work differently?
Listen.
Dae Hee, you clip your toenails every day, right?
I clip them every 2 or 3 months.
- 2 or 3 months? - Toenails do grow more slowly.
- Goodness. - That's right.
- I clip them every month. - 2 or 3 months?
Does that mean you clip them even before they grow?
It sounds like he is clipping his toes.
You should wait for them to grow.
- For goodness' sake. - They grow in that time.
4 out of 6 men in the studio don't clip their toenails...
very often.
- You clip them, right? - Yes, I do.
- I clip them often. - I clip them once every two weeks.
- Me too. - I think that's weird.
- My goodness. - As for my fingernails,
I only started using a nail clipper...
in high school.
- Really? - I used my teeth before then.
- I see. - I see.
- His teeth worked as a clipper. - Are you serious?
I could do that back then...
because my nails were thin and my teeth were strong.
My nails looked as if I had used a nail clipper.
- Really? - I filed them too.
So you bite on your fingernails and let your toenails erode.
- What is that nonsense? - He is like an animal.
As for toenails,
your pinky toenails wear down.
- They wear down? - You just clip the first toenails.
That's right.
- Isn't that right? - The first toenails.
- You know, - The first toenails.
the toenails...
only wear down naturally...
when dogs live on cement floor.
What makes you think we are different from dogs?
(Scratching)
What makes you think we don't do this?
They are so weird.
If you put the nail clipper...
against the ones other than the first toenails,
they go,
"What is he playing at?"
My goodness.
- "What did we do wrong?" - This is fascinating.
All right.
- If it suits them... - My goodness.
My goodness.
(They finally reach an agreement regarding toenails.)
Chang Jung, your fifth child will be born in November.
- My goodness. - He is incredible.
Chang Jung, your fifth child will be born in November.
- My goodness. - He is incredible.
- He is incredible. - I know.
I have four children right now.
- Four sons. - Yes.
How about the fifth one?
I don't know if this one is a boy or a girl.
- You don't know yet. - A boy or a girl.
(It seems like this one is a boy as well.)
Did you decide on the name?
- The nickname is Ho Rin. - Ho Rin?
The day the baby was conceived, I hit a hole-in-one.
Hence the nickname.
A hole-in-one.
If you have five children,
the maintenance fee must be very high.
Are you talking about running a restaurant?
Listen.
You know what I mean.
The living expenses must be very high.
I don't think it would be fitting to call it...
living expenses.
- It's more of a budget. - I see.
- We can only estimate. - With sons, it's different.
- That's why I do my best... - You work hard.
to perform at events.
The first son is in seventh grade.
- Yes, he is in seventh grade. - I heard that he hit puberty.
He acted like he had hit puberty.
He stopped because we found out.
Did he act like he had hit puberty?
He acted.
"Try talking back to your parents."
- It wasn't the time yet. - I bet his friends told him that.
He suddenly stopped talking...
or looking at us.
Whenever I asked him a question,
he gave a curt reply.
I see.
I made him listen to my new song and asked,
"What do you think?"
"There is no way this would be a hit."
He didn't say that.
He didn't say that, right?
He didn't say that.
"How is the song?"
(How is the song?)
"It's okay."
(His answer was cold.)
My son is 22 years old, right?
I think you need to accept it. It will continue to be that way.
I thought he had hit puberty,
but he grew tired.
He grew tired of acting.
He grew tired.
He went back to how he was.
"Dad!" He does that now.
- He is an upbeat child. - All of my children are upbeat.
I guess he heard about puberty.
It didn't suit his personality.
No, it didn't.
He is just like his dad.
When I decided to visit Radio Star, I thought about...
asking Gook Jin for a favor.
- What favor? - My son...
will realize the dream...
you weren't able to realize.
Golf?
- Yes. - He likes golf.
So it would be nice if you can sponsor him.
- Sponsor him? - You want him to be a sponsor.
The godfather.
- The godfather. - The godfather.
- The godfather. - I bet he can beat you.
He has learned golf for...
He can't beat me.
Not many people can beat me.
(The class of the godfather)
Can he beat you?
He can beat me.
He has learned golf for a year and a half.
Really?
Then he will lose to me by a close call.
(Excited)
(Chang Jung agrees.)
My goodness.
Then he will lose to me by a close call.
I know how good Gook Jin is,
so I wanted to ask him to become my son's godfather.
I tell my children to do what makes them happy.
My second son is searching for it.
Recently, he played golf...
with his brother.
He always uses this tone.
"I played golf."
"I think..."
"it makes me unhappy. I wasn't happy."
He becomes so sad.
I was like, "Okay."
"What will make you happy?"
"I want to be..."
"a musician like Zico."
Upon hearing that,
I took him to a music academy.
"I want him to learn music."
"I want him to learn the piano and such."
The instructor stared at me.
(Instructor)
"Here?"
She was incredulous.
He went to the academy diligently for three months.
"Let me see how much you improved."
He told me that he isn't ready yet.
"That's precisely when..."
"I need to check to see your true talent."
"I know you aren't ready, but do your best."
I told you earlier that intake of breath...
lets me know whether someone can sing.
The moment he breathed in, I knew he couldn't sing.
(He couldn't sing.)
I couldn't bear to listen to him.
He sang like this.
I told him, "This won't do."
"I don't think you have a musical talent."
"Let's find a different path."
But my 3rd and 4th sons have what it takes to be a celebrity.
- Really? - Yes.
Anyone who meets my third son...
tells him,
- "You should be a celebrity." - I see.
"You should be a celebrity."
He is making preparations.
He asked me to buy him a piano,
so I bought him a nice one.
He plays it every day and sends me videos.
He has talent.
Dae Hee, you raise 3 daughters...
You have three daughters?
I have talked about it for a while now.
I said it to emphasize.
(I knew, okay?)
You recently heard a shocking conversation...
between your wife and youngest daughter.
I woke up late that day.
I could hear the conversation...
between my wife...
and my youngest daughter who is in second grade.
My daughter suddenly went,
"Mom, do we have ramyeon at home?"
My wife said, "Do you want ramyeon? Shall I make it for you?"
"No, I will make it when Dad drinks and acts like a dog."
- Really? - I was so shocked.
I have never made a mistake in a drunken state in front of her.
I don't know where she heard that kind of an expression.
She must have seen something.
There is a hierarchy in the household, right?
I'm the head of my household.
And I think I'm at the 5th place among the 5 family members.
It's because daughters take their mother's side.
My youngest daughter was...
solving home-study materials with her mother.
And her mother said, "Why did you get this wrong?"
"Solve all these until I get back..."
"from the supermarket."
She said, "Okay."
As my wife walks out the door to go to the supermarket,
she says, "Dad, tell me the answer!"
"Come on!"
The students usually say that...
to their subordinates at school.
They're like, "Hurry up!"
You're really in the fifth place.
So I figured I'm not...
such a fearful figure in this house.
- But you're a good father. - He is.
- He's like a friend. - I think...
- all fathers feel that way. - She likes her father.
I don't know if it's because I'm an actor,
but my kids are good at acting.
I come to Seoul for a week when I'm busy...
like I'm on a business trip.
And then...
they stand on the porch...
in a straight line to tell me,
"Bye, Dad," or "Good luck."
And as I close the door,
they go, "Hooray!"
- They do that. - And...
as I turn around and walk to my car...
How should I explain this?
It feels bitter.
I realized they do that sometimes.
Then I thought...
about what I liked the most...
at their age.
And I also liked...
an empty house where there are no parents.
- It's the same. - I loved calling my friends...
- and hanging out in my house. - Right.
- So it's all the same. - Right.
- It's same. - Don't treat them so well.
Dae Hee, don't treat them too well.
- Why not? - Just like that?
What?
Then treat them well.
What are you saying?
That was out of context.
I advised him not to treat them too well, but he said, "Why not?"
So treat them well.
What am I supposed to say?
(I'll be good to you, kids.)
Seung Guk, you were a trainee for a very long time,
and all your colleagues are successful now.
Yes,
Sang Hyun's wife, Maybee,
- Son Dam Bi, - Yes, Son Dam Bi.
and Kahi of After School.
- Kahi. - They're all successful.
- Yes. - Right.
There's Lee Jae Yoon who's an actor.
- Lee Jae Yoon. - Yes, I know him.
There's Jung Dong Ha who used to be the vocalist of Boohwal.
- Yes. - Jung Dong Ha.
So did you not make the debut?
No, I didn't.
How long were you a trainee for?
I was a trainee since I was in high school,
so it's about ten years.
- Ten years? - Yes.
That's a very long time.
It's okay. I acted in my 1st drama when I was 34 years old.
- Right. - You're right.
You're still 31 years old.
I'm 32 years old.
- It's fine. - Yes, I'm 32 years old.
Yes.
Ji Min, how old are you?
I'm 36 years old.
I said that very quietly, but you all heard it, didn't you?
(She sounded like a mosquito.)
She's 36 years old?
(He puts her down again.)
(Ji Min is 36 years old.)
Does it make you sad every time you watch Super Junior?
It doesn't make me sad now. But when I was younger,
I used to go Myeong-dong to buy clothes with my friends,
and I was usually cast on the streets.
I got a card one day,
and it said, "SM".
I thought I could give it a try, so I went there.
And he guided me to the actual SM building.
He made me sing and explained to me,
"There's going to be a group with 13 members."
Is that Super Junior?
- That was Super Junior. - He said...
they're preparing something like that.
And they were having auditions for that group.
I auditioned and came back home to think,
and there weren't groups like that at the time.
I was just not convinced that there will be 13 members in a group.
You were suspicious.
Yes, I was suspicious,
- and I didn't think... - You were worried.
it made sense.
- So I got cold feet. - That's too bad.
- You could think that. - It's not like I declined, but...
Then you opened a sushi restaurant.
Yes, after a while,
I kept making music until I was 27, 28 years old.
Then I gave up after I failed numerous times.
I even made a digital single with a producer I know...
- and released it with a cool name. - What was the name?
It was Seo I Jun.
- How is that cool? - What?
That's not very cool.
We thought it was cool.
Well, you could think that.
- I'm sorry. - You thought it'd be better...
- then Seung Guk. - I'm sorry.
We worked hard and even filmed a music video.
I struggled a lot.
I actually...
did it when I already knew it wouldn't work.
Because I felt too bad.
(It was his last attempt before giving up his 10 years of dream.)
So you went to the army and opened a sushi restaurant after.
I went to the army,
and gave it all up to open a sushi restaurant after that.
We got to know a little bit of him.
I'm planning to write a song that goes like this.
It's about his life story.
It goes like, "My brother owns a sushi restaurant."
What was that?
(He's cold-hearted.)
- It just came to him. - Principal,
do you think that'll work?
- It just came to his mind. - Principal.
Gu Ra.
I'm sorry.
All right.
I'm trying to take care of Seung Guk.
Principal,
please take care of him well.
(Seung Guk will go all the way with the principal.)
Ji Min, you said you wanted to turn back time...
- because of Daniel Henney. - Yes.
When I had the segment, "Bboom Entertainment"...
on "Gag Concert",
We had Daniel Henney as our guest once.
- Really? - Yes.
And I was like,
"There's a kissing scene with Daniel Henney."
"I'll do it, I know the way."
Then Daniel Henney was...
supposed to turn me this way so I'm lying down,
and he's watching me from above.
There was a scene like this.
And I had to keep on acting.
So I acted and said, "Come on and kiss me."
And then he said,
"Do you really want to kiss?"
That wasn't his line.
What's wrong with you?
(What's wrong with you?)
What is this?
It's too...
Didn't you used to dance with your breasts?
I was so surprised.
- Daniel Henney said with his voice, - Seriously?
"Do you really want to kiss?"
- How exciting is that? - It wasn't even that loud.
Only I could hear it.
He said, "Do you really want to kiss?"
In spite of myself,
I should have done this,
but I turned away.
I turned away as he was getting closer.
Were you supposed to look away?
No, we were supposed to...
look into each other without kissing and then finish.
He was slowly coming down, and I looked away like an idiot.
You're such a fool.
It was...
(She sighs deeply.)
How does that make her a fool?
- You bore me. - How does that make her a fool?
Did I raise you that way?
I apologize.
- I was being stupid. - Come on.
I don't think I'm up for that much.
- Sir. - What?
Can I kiss her?
(Her heart stopped.)
Wait a minute. Stop!
Your acting isn't so good.
(Do you really want to kiss?)
That's the moment I regret the most in my whole life.
I should have stayed still.
- So why did you look away? - That's what I'm saying!
You're unbelievable.
I just feel sad for her.
(I know how it feels to feel sad.)
Chang Jung, you were in New York recently,
and a Hollywood celebrity recognized you first.
You were recognized first.
(He's proud of it.)
- Let's see it. - Yes, let's see.
He's an actor.
(They're curious.)
I think there's only one picture.
- It was Jake Gyllenhaal. - Yes.
You two look alike.
Did he recognize you first?
I met him in New York.
Really? How?
I was walking down the street, and he was there.
And then what happened?
So I asked him to take picture with me.
(What?)
(He laughs after he tells the truth.)
He was walking into a building,
and I asked for a picture.
He told his people to wait inside.
Then he came to me,
and took a picture with me while being so nice.
Does he do that to everyone? Or did he know who you are?
- So... - Yes.
- after we took the picture, - Yes.
I told him...
I was also an actor in Korea.
"I'm a very famous actor in Korea."
That's what I told him.
Then he looked me up and down.
And then he was like...
(You're hilarious.)
He thought it was a joke.
(He's laughing, but why does he seem like he's about to cry?)
(Goodness)
- That's funny. - He laughed so hard and went in.
(He still remembers it clearly.)
Dae Hee,
you have a celebrity you resemble that's surprising.
When I was on the "Gag Concert" celebrating the 1,000th episode,
I did the segment, "Bitter Life".
I play the role of the boss,
so I had to draw a beard.
And when it aired,
one of my juniors sent me a text.
He wrote,
"I saw you on TV and you look like him."
I said, "Who?"
He said, "RDJ." I said, "RDJ"?
He said it was Robert Downey Junior.
So I said, "Which one of the three?"
I mean...
- It's Robert, Downey, and Junior. - I really didn't know.
You were asking who it was among Robert, Downey, and Junior.
- There's Robert. - Which one is it?
I asked him who RDJ was,
and he thought I didn't understand.
So he wrote, "Robert", space bar,
"Downey", space bar,
- "Junior", space bar. - He thought they were three.
I'm sick of it.
So I asked, "Which one of the three?"
And he didn't answer me.
(He's dumbfounded.)
He's about to turn 50.
Do you think you're weak...
when you come to talk shows like this?
- I am weak. Yes. - Do you?
I couldn't sleep last night, to be honest.
- Really? - Radio Star is...
such a big stage for me.
- I felt burdened. - Yes.
Is there a show where you were hilarious?
It's today.
It's today?
- Yes. - I see.
- He's at his best. - You were hilarious,
and you prepared a specialty for us today.
- Yes. - Yes.
Okay.
This is...
I don't usually have...
- a specialty. - Right.
Didn't you have some in the past?
- The impression of Kim Gun Mo? - Yes.
(This time again)
So...
(He changes the subject quickly.)
I found this talent...
after I lost weight.
- Is that so? - I didn't know I could do this.
- It's what Uncle Tong does. - That's right.
- No way. - I realized I can pass through it.
- You can? - No way.
- I'll show you. - It's a tennis racket, right?
- Yes, it's a tennis racket. - Okay.
It could be boring,
so play some exciting music when you edit this part.
(Dae Hee's Too Much Circus)
(Everyone is focusing.)
(Exclaiming)
(Smooth and quick)
(Getting out of the tennis racket)
(Surprised)
(He receives cheers and applause.)
You should've struck this pose.
Pose like this.
(He looks just like Uncle Tong.)
- Any skinny men could do this. - It's not easy to do.
- But... - I think Gook Jin can do it easily.
Give it a try, Gook Jin.
- I think... - He definitely can do it.
I think Gook Jin wouldn't even need to do it like he did.
I'm sure I could just swing it down through his body.
- Exactly. - It wouldn't hurt at all.
- He can just stand there. - Like this.
(He has a perfect body for a circus show.)
Ji Min, is it true that you overcame your hang-ups...
thanks to your close friend, Park Na Rae?
You know how weird it can feel...
when you see your face and hear your voice on TV...
- when you're a newcomer, right? - Of course.
I thought I looked so ugly. My face looked asymmetrical.
My eyes looked too small.
My nose looked too flat, and my jaw looked too square.
I went to consult with a plastic surgeon.
I asked about jawline surgery first.
- I said I wanted to reshape my jaw. - I see.
The doctor said that I might not be able to eat food...
although I would look pretty because I have a narrow face.
- I see. - So I asked...
if it would be possible to make my nose sharp.
But he said, "Because your nose is too slim, and your skin is so thin,"
"if you have your nose done, you will look like..."
"you have a chalk on your nose from a distance."
Then I said I wanted to have epicanthoplasty...
to make my eyes look bigger.
He said I might look like a one-eyed person.
- Just like the one-eyed minions. - I see.
So after consulting with the doctor,
I asked Na Rae for advice as I still wanted to have plastic surgery.
I asked, "Where should I have done?"
She told me not to have facial bone contouring surgery...
saying it was so painful for her.
She advised me to just have eyelid surgery, and I did so.
- You just had eyelid surgery? - Yes.
You didn't have plastic surgery, right?
- No. Why? - I see.
- I just thought you hadn't. - Why did you ask that?
- No reason. - Why would you criticize my face?
(She's upset.)
I just asked a question.
You sounded so sure. "You didn't have plastic surgery, right?"
- You were so sure about it. - I wasn't criticizing.
- I just asked you a question. - Gosh, seriously.
That's too much.
(That's too much.)
Because of Chang Jung, there are...
old men's expressions used on the internet now.
This is an example.
It says that the old men's expressions are used by...
middle-aged men on the internet, usually on a news portal,
and Chang Jung is famous for his old men's expressions.
"Her song has finally been released. She looks great in her photo too."
"Let's support Kum Jan Di."
"Those who work hard deserve success. Haha."
- "Success". - "Whoever made the song,"
"it's really good. LOL."
What is this?
This is how middle-aged men write a post, right?
It's not about what I talk about. I used many exclamation marks...
and swung dashes, and typed a smiley face.
But kids these days don't use them.
- Oh, things like this? - Yes, things like this.
- They rarely use them these days. - Dae Hee, you do it too, right?
- Of course I do. - That's why you're called old.
- Or else, it looks too bland. - I use many swung dashes too.
- Exactly. But kids these days... - Swung dashes and everything.
just cut to the chase,
and then put a period. That's all.
- Is that so? - Really?
I thought it was the opposite.
However, when I write a text message,
I'm afraid I might sound rude...
if I don't use such symbols.
- I know what you mean. - You're a little obsessed.
- You might sound cold-hearted. - I was told not to use them.
- How do you write text messages? - Your friends must've noticed it.
I... Well... What's it called? You know, the drawings...
- Like a smiley face? - That's right. Like a smiley face.
- I usually use them. - I see.
He just called emojis "drawings".
So, he uses a lot of emojis.
I understand.
Dae Hee, how about you?
I also try to use as many symbols as I can just like Chang Jung does.
It's because I don't want the recipient to misunderstand me.
For example, someone asks me a favor.
- And I jokingly say, "No." - "No."
If I write just "No",
- the person could... - It could cause misunderstanding.
Why would you read it like that?
- Pardon? - You could've read it nicely.
- That's not the point. - Did I do something wrong?
- I didn't mean it like that. - Why would you get upset?
- Dae Hee, listen to me. - Why did you...
I'll see how you write text messages to your girlfriend in the future.
- I'll leave a voicemail. - A voicemail?
- In a situation like that... - "No."
What do you think about it, Your Honor?
Why do you keep calling him that when he's not...
ready to role play? You're making him uncomfortable.
You were uncomfortable, right?
Stop calling him "Your Honor".
It's because he's an actor.
- What does that have to do with it? - I want him to show his specialty.
How can he act on a loud show like this?
You're talking nonsense.
- I thought he'd do method acting. - Method acting, my foot.
Dae Hee, you've been on "Gag Concert" the longest.
It's been over 20 years.
- Yes, it's been over 20 years. - That's a long time.
You've been humiliated in front of your junior comedian...
because of your makeup.
That's right. It was not long ago.
On the day of the shoot,
I ran into my junior comedian in front of the makeup room.
Probably because he wanted to look funny, he put on too much makeup.
He drew snot on his face...
along the line of his cheekbone like this,
and put on fake eyebrows that were this long.
I thought it was too much. So I said,
"Come here. Don't try to be funny with your makeup."
"You're a comedian, so make them laugh with your words."
After I gave him kind of a lecture,
I went into my dressing room and checked myself in the mirror.
I was wearing makeup like a Dachshund.
(His action didn't match his words.)
- I forgot about my makeup. - This is how...
we came up with the idea for "Ms. Kang at the Makeup Room".
- Exactly. - A dog and...
- I forgot about my makeup. - A Dachshund.
- Oh, I get it. - This is it.
- This is it. - That's unbelievable.
You lectured him when you looked like that?
- I saw that too. - Papa Smurf.
What's this?
- A character from "The Lion King". - A monkey.
It's a character from "The Lion King".
That looks so realistic.
I like this one so much.
- Exactly. - Is that his own tongue?
- If that's his own tongue, - My gosh.
we should congratulate him.
(Guess if it's my tongue or not.)
You are watching a high-end music program, Radio Star.
Today's theme is for those who are tired of hierarchy.
"The Song To Eliminate..."
- "Power Dynamic Battle"! - "Power Dynamic Battle"!
Shall we hear the song that Chang Jung and Seung Guk chose?
("Beautiful Farewell" by Kim Gun Mo)
(Gun Mo's smooth, high-pitched voice stands out in the song.)
What has gotten into you? You usually sing your own song.
(It's a difficult song to sing with a lot of high notes.)
Chang Jung, why did you choose this song?
I released my 15th album,
and I've been performing my new song, "Never Ending".
But Seung Guk chose "Beautiful Farewell".
- The quick-witted Seung Guk did it? - He's so quick-witted.
He just do things without even thinking.
- Why did you choose this song? - Why?
I think Kim Gun Mo is a great singer...
- regardless of the genre. - Is he always like that?
I see that he's good at this.
(Blinking)
- I believe he's the best singer. - "The best singer"?
- He's right about that, but... - He's right.
He's right.
- But he didn't have to say it here. - Exactly.
Let's hear Chang Jung and Seung Guk sing "Beautiful Farewell".
All right!
("Beautiful Farewell" performed by Im Chang Jung and Seung Guk Lee)
(Nervous)
(Relaxed)
(He looks different as soon as he starts singing.)
(He sounds like Jung Yup.)
(He's good.)
(He no longer seems nervous.)
(He immerses himself into the song in an instant.)
(Seung Guk's sweet voice like Jung Yup...)
(and Chang Jung's voice that's full of emotions...)
(mesmerize everyone.)
(They sing each and every note with great effort and affection...)
(while making a good memory between the two of them.)
(The unexpected encounter at the jokbal restaurant...)
(made the restaurant owner and the regular customer...)
(a producer and a singer.)
(Jokbal helped them become friends.)
(Everyone is touched.)
(Seung Guk holds gratitude toward Chang Jung...)
(inside his heart.)
(But it's good enough for Chang Jung that Seung Guk has been...)
(trusting him and following his guidance.)
(However, the time for reminiscing old memories is about to end...)
(as the high note part is coming.)
(Here we go.)
(Chang Jung's powerful high note...)
(makes Seung Guk's heart sway.)
(The best singer in my heart is Chang Jung.)
(Chang Jung)
(Their friendship draws applause.)
- It feels so different. - Indeed.
- That was great. - All right.
Thank you all for being here today.
Sang Hyun was today's special MC. How do you feel about it?
Now you look a little relaxed...
since we've been here for four hours. You're relaxed now, right?
I feel comfortable, but on top of that...
I've been a fan of Radio Star since the beginning.
Since I...
came on my favorite show as a special MC...
and talked to the guests,
I realized...
that it's a hard job to be a talk show host.
And I'd like to thank you for inviting me.
- Come back as a guest next time. - I'll do that.
Even if you are in a higher position than someone else now,
you all know that your positions could be reversed anytime, right?
Nevertheless, Radio Star will always...
serve our viewers as our masters every Wednesday,
doing our very best to make you laugh.
We will say goodbye here. See you next week.
- Please. - Please.
(See you again next week!)
