(This program is a documentary that captures the journey of...)
(two renowned show hosts, who were once beloved by the entire nation, )
(looking for someone to feed them dinner.)
(Steaming)
(It looks clean and plentiful.)
(JYP Entertainment's cafeteria is known for serving organic foods.)
This seat is nice.
- This is unbelievable. - Enjoy your food.
(Savoring)
(The broth is amazing.)
It's good.
Can you tell this is organic?
(Who are these men who are enjoying their food?)
Gyeong Gyu.
- K-pop is globally in trend. - Right.
This is JYP Entertainment, the center of the trend.
This is huge.
They're known for their organic foods.
Their cafeteria serves organic foods.
They cultivate the ingredients themselves.
Artists should consume things that are harmful to their bodies.
What do you mean?
Well...
A pig satisfied...
(He forgets.)
- Anyway... - A pig satisfied?
Right, I'm talking about Socrates.
You'll fail to be creative if you're full from eating organic foods.
All the world-popular artists couldn't eat well.
- Right. - They were famished.
They wouldn't have succeeded by eating organic foods.
Are you saying ideas sprout from deficiency?
Exactly.
Healthy foods aren't good for artists then.
You're right. Organic foods are their worst enemy.
That's why we've invited...
artists who are far from...
eating organic foods.
Why didn't we have this during our time?
(They must be old.)
When things finally started looking up,
that's when we ended.
That's why he apologized to me recently.
This is the famous cafeteria at JYP Entertainment.
All of their ingredients are organic.
Are they organic too?
(They're organic.)
What has become of their bodies?
They look so large.
(He feels guilty.)
- Hey. - Do they raise wrestlers here?
Do they?
I think I've seen many of them in Gumi.
Look at him.
- Hello. - Son Ho Young.
Hello.
- Hey, Tae Woo. - Hello.
- Hey, Ho Young. - Hello.
(You're the best, god.)
At the beginning of the new millennium,
their song became a hit, and they became very influential.
They're god, the original idol group.
Kim Tae Woo is known for being the youngest of the group.
Son Ho Young is known to have an angelic smile.
20 years after their debut, the two formed a unit.
Their unit is called HoooW.
- Sit down. - You have such a nice view.
- Look behind you. - I know.
Look behind you.
When artists are often exposed to such nice scenery,
their creative side suffers.
- It suffers? - Ho Young.
He said organic foods are an artist's...
- worst enemy. - Right.
- Why? - Why?
You need to be ill...
in order to be inspired.
- You should eat rotten food. - Right.
It does make sense.
- Right, doesn't it? - It sounds plausible.
Our members were all starving back then.
- That's how we pulled through. - Right.
You need to be hungry.
After this cafeteria was built,
Jin Young invited me over to eat.
Jin Young, Rain, and I ate together.
He felt sorry for feeding me this.
- Why? - When I asked why...
he said we never ate such good foods before.
- Right. - He couldn't take care of us.
We never dreamt of having organic foods.
We always had stale gimbap.
Right. If you were to express the hardships you went through...
by singing, what song would you sing?
(Singing)
(That's how we lived)
(That's how we regretted things and cried)
- He's so good. - Gyeong Gyu has made a decision.
He's decided to listen to Tae Woo's singing than talking.
That's why he suddenly asked him...
- to sing. - Wait.
If someone were to tell me to pick the top five best singers,
- I'd pick him. - In the top five?
- Yes. - All right.
What about the other four?
For the other four,
I don't have good relationships with other singers.
(He knows how to win Tae Woo's heart.)
I heard you two have started something together.
We formed a unit for the 1st time in 20 years.
- For the 1st time? - It's god's very 1st unit.
Since I'm Ho Young, and he's Tae Woo.
Our unit is called HoooW.
What kind of name is that?
Hey, don't you know people don't like Ronaldo these days?
But...
It reminds me of heavy-rain watch.
- Right. - Right.
- Just call it Ronaldo-Messi. - Really?
Our concert's title is Heavy-rain Watch.
- Since... - It'll rain every day.
Since several years ago, we've been holding concerts.
And we called them Heavy-rain Watch.
We've already created HoooW since 2017.
- Gyeong Gyu. - Fine, be HoooW then.
People will definitely criticize you.
(If that's the case...)
- What's wrong? - It's irrelevant.
Why? It sounds like Ronaldo.
But...
- People already hate the name. - They do.
- At first... - They didn't like it?
- No. - The name, Heavy-rain Watch,
was used since several years ago.
Once we released our own album,
we named ourselves HoooW.
- People were talking about Ronaldo. - Right.
I don't watch soccer, so I didn't know.
- You didn't? - No.
When singing, you say stuff like this.
"Say..."
- Hip-hop artists do that. - You're right.
That's right.
Do you do this too?
- Come on. - Don't do this.
If you do this, you'll be ruined.
(Shaking)
"Oh, my gosh!"
You know what this is, right?
- We'll never do that. - Right, don't do that.
Let's go.
- To eat? - Let's go and eat.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Today's neighborhood is Songpa-dong, Songpa-go, Seoul.
Famous landmarks such as Lake Seokchon, "I" Tower,
and "I" World are here.
Among the 25 regions in Seoul,
this area boasts the highest population.
Around Lake Seokchon, a new street called...
Songnidan-gil was created.
Many young people come here...
to visit cafes and tasty restaurants.
Will they be able to have a meal...
in this up-and-coming neighborhood?
Let's Eat Dinner Together, episode 144,
"The Road to a Meal".
(Episode 144: "The Road to a Meal")
Songpa Dock used to be here...
in Songpa-dong.
That's why it became Songpa-dong.
Was it the name of the dock then?
- I mean Songpa? - Yes, Songpa Dock.
I always ask him about the origin of the name of the town,
but I didn't this time,
- so he explained himself. - I did it on my own.
- If we go that way, - He usually waits for the time.
- You'll see Seokchon Lake. - Right.
It was originally a branch of the Han River,
but the lake was made after reclaiming.
It was made after reclaiming.
Oh, was the branch of the Han River reclaimed?
- It was. - It's because...
Do you know Jamsil was an island?
- What? - An island.
- You didn't know, did you? - No way, Ho Dong.
I don't buy it.
How could Jamsil have been an island?
We heard that Jamsil used to be an island, right?
Sure.
His reaction makes me confused now.
I don't want to get involved with your story.
(Jamsil was really an island.)
Yeouido is an island for sure.
Right. Yeouido is an island, and I know that.
Look at the cafes.
- It looks nice. - There are many pretty cafes here.
- I know. - It's called Songnidan-gil.
There are so many popular restaurants in every alley.
People were lining up over there.
- You're right. - Hello.
(Waiting for a popular restaurant to open)
- Do they serve good food? - They are not open yet.
- People say I look like you. - Oh, you really do.
(I admit that.)
(The lookalikes hug each other.)
Is there a song about Songnidan-gil?
- There is a song called "Road". - Good. That'll do.
- There is. - As we're walking on the road now.
("Road" by god)
(Oh, this song is...)
(He smoothly changes his part.)
(The sudden live performance draws everyone's attention.)
(For what)
(Should I live?)
(The harmony of the singers with 20 years of their career)
(You're the best, god.)
Say, "Ho".
Hello.
(At the end of the "Road", there is a real estate office.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Gosh. Nice to meet you. - This is Let's Eat Dinner Together.
My goodness.
- Welcome to our office. - Thanks.
I can't believe Let's Eat Dinner Together is in our office.
Ma'am, could you explain where we are now?
- Where you are? - Where is the office located?
- It's right over there. - I see.
(They are here now.)
We've followed Songnidan-gil.
- Songnidan-gil. - Exactly where is Songnidan-gil?
- Oh, that road? - There it is.
- This is Songnidan-gil. - It's the road we were on.
How long has it been...
since it was named Songnidan-gil and started to change?
- Two years? - It's a little over a year.
- It's been just a year or two? - It hasn't been long.
- It has just started. - It has just started.
- It's just recently formed. - It is.
How much is this area per 3.3m²?
Per 3.3m²?
Commercial buildings here are 60,000 dollars per 3.3m².
It's really expensive.
No wonder it is expensive because there is Seokchon Lake near that.
This is Seokchon Lake.
There is "I" World next it too, so it's a good area to hang out in.
Since when did the apartments start to be built?
The apartments started to be built in the 1980s.
When we were to hold the 1986 Asian Games...
- And the 1988... - and the 1988 Summer Olympics,
- It was then. - this area started to be...
- developed a lot. - Right.
The apartments for athletes for the Asian Games...
- and the 1988 Olympic Games... - The Olympic Games.
Were built in the 1980s.
They were used by the athletes during the Olympics...
and they were sold to ordinary people.
- The apartments for the athletes? - Right.
- How long have you lived here? - I bet it's been long.
I've been a realtor here for almost 20 years.
In this office?
No, I used to be in another office too.
I haven't been in this office all along.
- He's the living proof. - He is.
Sir, you know the group, god, right?
- Of course. I recognized them. - Thanks.
- Do you know any of our songs? - Any song by god.
I don't know about pop songs at all.
What about you, ma'am? Is there any song...
Because I work every day, I don't listen to songs a lot.
- Do you like jjajangmyeon? - Yes, I do.
("Dear Mother" by god)
(I don't actually hate it.)
(Singing)
(We lived like that)
Oh, right.
(We regretted like that)
- It's so nice. - He has a great voice.
(We shed tears too)
- His voice is amazing. - Well...
("One Candle" by god)
(Everyone claps.)
(So that you don't feel that you're alone)
(Awesome. This melody sounds familiar.)
(Citizens gathered to listen to the relay of their great songs.)
A concert in a real estate office in Songpa-dong.
(A concert in Songpa-dong)
- We'll get going. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Good luck with your business.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Goodness.
Hello.
- Gosh, Gyeong Gyu. - What?
- Look at that. - What?
It's higher than the clouds.
I didn't expect that.
("I" Tower that is higher than the clouds)
- It goes over the clouds. - Goodness.
It's the first time for us to see that up close, right?
- We went up to the observatory too. - Oh, right.
He just said it's the first time to see it up close.
(Feeling dizzy)
- This is Songnidan-gil, - This way.
- And this is the residential area. - Right.
I can see the houses now.
(Past Songnidan-gil, a residential area unfolds.)
Gyeong Gyu, this used to be... Actually, it is still...
a very luxurious house.
I notice that it's true...
- You do, right? - just by looking at it.
It's obvious. Look at the trimmed trees in the garden.
They look so old.
This is a typical type of an old luxurious two-story house.
If this is sold, a multiplex house like that is built there.
- A multiplex house like that? - Right.
(Old houses turn into multiplex houses.)
- The roses of Sharon. - The roses of Sharon.
- It's been a long time to see them. - It's been such a long time.
Bow, guys.
(Everyone bows.)
The roses of Sharon, the symbol of our country.
- What flowers are they? - Trumpet creepers.
- Are they? - Trumpet creepers.
- Trumpet creepers. Yes. - Trumpet creepers?
How do you know such a thing?
- You look different. - I like flowers.
- Really? - Yes.
It doesn't suit you at all.
(He becomes speechless.)
Here are peaches.
- They really are peaches. - Peaches.
- They are... - Aren't they Japanese plums?
- Are they peaches? - They're peaches.
These are...
They are wild peaches.
(Wild peaches that grow in the wild)
These... These taste good.
They're called wild peaches.
These days, I could understand...
why Ho Dong stutters like that.
When I try to say something, I get to stutter like this.
- Why? - I don't know. I do that too.
- Why do you do that? - The thing is...
- These... - It doesn't come out right away.
It's because our thoughts are faster than our words.
I think you're right.
It's swirling in my mind...
But I can't say the word.
I heard Einstein was like that too.
Then does it mean you're on his level?
I'm not like Einstein, but his thought was...
much faster than his words.
In my opinion, you speak slowly because you didn't remember it all.
(Attacking with a fact)
"These... These are..."
He couldn't remember the word "wild peaches".
- "These are..." - "W..."
- "I think it starts with a 'W'." - "Oh, wild peaches."
He can't remember it right away.
- Don't you think so? - You're right.
- What was the song earlier? "Lies". - Yes.
What Ho Dong says are all lies.
(He just laughs.)
Lies.
- What is? - Well...
Please sing "Lies". "Lies".
("Lies" by god)
(Dancing)
(Immersed)
(Staring at the sky)
(Songpa-dong is immersed...)
(in HoooW's sentimental melodies.)
(Please forget me)
(Forget me and move on)
(Don't forget me)
(It hurts.)
(Don't worry about me)
(And leave me)
- "You're the best, god." - "You're the best, god."
(He became their huge fan.)
(As Gyeong Gyu's heart got mellow, the town gets soaked in the rain.)
- It's raining. - We have to hurry.
- It's pouring. - Let's shoot the closing scene.
Here you are.
- All of a sudden. - This is the fun part of this show.
- Isn't it? - I want to drink right now.
Oh, the sound of the rain.
- In fact... - Look at that.
Maybe I'm too sentimental, but I prefer...
- the sound to the rain itself. - Sure.
The sound of the rain is better than the rain itself. Right.
(It's time to enjoy the sound of the rain that Ho Dong likes.)
This is nice.
It's even better as it's raining.
But how can it pour suddenly like this?
It's fun to experience changing weather on Let's Eat Dinner Together.
Seokchon Lake looks...
That looks romantic.
When it's soaked in the rain...
It's so beautiful.
While walking along Seokchon Lake,
I said Lee Sang Hwa and Kang Nam will get married.
- He predicted that. - I did.
Aren't you supposed to walk like this?
(Kang Nam and Sang Hwa were the talk of the town then.)
(Pondering)
(Let me talk about you.)
What do you think?
(I'm 100 percent sure that you'll marry Sang Hwa.)
(Kang Nam and Sang Hwa will really get married as he said.)
What about Ho Young?
- Ho Young will get married too. - When?
(Prophet Gyeong Gyu tries to feel his intuition.)
Within two years.
- "Within two years"? - Yes.
I'm 100 percent sure.
Gosh, the sound of the rain is awesome.
(He's still immersed in the sound of the rain.)
Having rain like this on a variety show...
- is a blessing. - Why?
- Pardon? - Why is it?
Because it's beautiful.
Hey, what is beautiful about it?
It's tormenting to get rained.
- Gyeong Gyu. - I want to go home early.
What is so beautiful when it's raining?
Then don't use an umbrella.
Listen to the raindrops.
- "Don't use an umbrella." - Don't use this umbrella...
if the rain is that beautiful.
Gyeong Gyu, this is music.
Then listen to it instead of music.
What?
You are so frustrating.
Why don't you push your hand out?
I don't want to.
- Gyeong Gyu. - Let's team up.
Seriously...
Has it rained this much...
recently during the shoot?
- No, it hasn't. - No, right?
- A heavy-rain watch is issued. - I know.
(Coincidentally, it is issued when HoooW is here.)
You're right. Goodness.
They ruined it.
(HoooW that sounds like a heavy-rain watch.)
- Then... - How should we split up?
- Ho Young, what do you think? - Yes?
- Your name is Son Ho Young, - Yes.
- So we can make Team Son Kang Ho. - Son Kang Ho?
- Son Kang Ho? - Son Kang Ho.
Son Kang Ho.
- Son Kang Ho. - I like it.
(They managed to find the reason to team up somehow.)
- What should we be called? - Son Kang Ho.
We're Lee Gyeong Gyu and Kim Tae Woo. What should we do?
- His last name is Lee. - Lee.
- What about Kim Tae Lee? - Kim Tae Lee.
Kim Tae Lee.
(Kim Tae Lee sounds like Kim Tae Ri.)
- That's a little... - Kim Tae Ri...
This is a movie actors special.
Song Kang Ho and Kim Tae Ri.
Okay.
What do you think? It sounds okay.
- We have an edge when it rains. - Is there?
Because we look pitiful, people invite us easily.
Here is a drama without scripts.
- Let's Eat Dinner Together. - Let's Eat Dinner Together.
HoooW, let's get it.
It's time for HoooW to knock on the doors of Songpa-dong...
for dinner in the heavy rain.
(It's time to knock in the heavy rain.)
(They start ringing doorbells at 6pm.)
I think I'm lucky to choose Tae Woo.
I can be under this parasol.
- That's right. - A parasol.
Ho Dong, we have to be in the shade of a huge tree.
- A parasol. - Yes.
I'll always be your umbrella.
That's it. I like that.
(I am...)
(your umbrella that keeps you safe.)
(We click together.)
- It's a multiplex house with shops. - It is.
On the upper floors,
there are residents.
- We have to go in. - There are doorbells in there.
- We should get in. - Really?
- Keep an eye on our parasol. - Okay.
Umbrella.
(The precious parasol)
Let's start with the fifth floor.
- We'll start with the fifth floor. - Are we going together?
- Together. - We're going together.
Yes, we're doing together.
Haven't you...
watched it?
Wait. One person...
(Exceeding capacity)
- You get off, Tae Woo. - Walk up the stairs.
- Okay. - It'll help you lose weight.
- Please get on, Director. - Director.
We should have at least one camera.
- Yes. - We can't just go with the mics.
If we stand on the edges, it won't...
- Move over here, Gyeong Gyu. - On the edges...
- Stand on the edges. - On the edges.
- Gosh, only three people... - Wait.
We just have mics. Will only the sound be aired?
(Unintentionally, Tae Woo has the camera to himself.)
We can't open the doors here.
(There also seems to be shops upstairs.)
They don't seem to be where people live.
It's quite roomy, but only three people got on it.
Gosh, that made Tae Woo tired already.
(Breathing heavily)
- Tae Woo hasn't come up yet. - This is bad.
You should not lose your energy, Tae Woo.
You said you'd come to the fifth floor.
I'll give you a chance first, Ho Young.
- Okay. - Shall we try first?
- The 1st place. The 1st attempt. - The 1st place...
- There are houses on this floor. - It's very rare,
but there is 1 shot 1 kill about once a year.
1 shot 1 kill. Go.
You can take your time and explain them.
In one go.
(Ringing the first bell)
Isn't it hot?
Hello. Do you recognize me?
Wait a moment. Let me get out.
- Do you want to come out? - Yes.
Okay.
- What's going on? - But she doesn't know you.
If you ask them if they've eaten right away...
- Hello. - Hi.
- Oh, excuse me. - What is the matter?
May I ask what you were doing?
- I was just staying at home. - You were?
Do you recognize me?
I recognize your face, but I don't remember who you are.
Do you know...
(My mother said she hated jjajangmyeon)
My mother said she hated jjajangmyeon
Do you know god?
I know god. I've seen them on TV.
Do you know my name by any chance?
- I don't. - You don't?
I took care of a baby on a TV show in the past.
We were taking care of the baby. I guess...
you didn't watch the show.
I didn't.
Don't you know Son Ho Young?
Oh, Son Ho Young. I've seen you a lot on TV.
I know. Nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
Ma'am, while having a meal,
we are supposed to chitchat on this program.
It's a variety show.
Have you had dinner?
Not yet. I'm waiting for my daughter-in-law. She's coming soon.
- Really? - Then...
- would you like to discuss it... - Then...
with your family and make good memories...
with Ho Dong and Ho Young today?
- It's not hard to eat with you. - Gosh.
Then do you want to talk to your daughter-in-law on the phone?
- Okay, I'll call her. - We'll be waiting.
- What's going on? - On the first attempt.
- Then... - I can't believe it.
We'll try downstairs.
- To save your time. - We can't wait here long.
- Right. - If you're invited in, let us know.
- And? - Is she the owner of the building?
- Ma'am. - Did she say no, ma'am?
Yes, it's me.
(She's on the phone.)
Yes.
- Are you not done yet? - Oh, no.
We can do it on our own.
Well, Kang Ho Dong... You know the TV show,
- Dining something. - Let's Eat Dinner Together.
A lot of people came here for that.
- Please talk to her on the phone. - Okay.
- Gosh. - Ma'am,
- do you know god? - Yes.
Guess which member of god this is.
Hello.
Son Ho Young.
You're right. You passed all the stages.
Did you really come to my place?
- Yes. - Yes.
This is unbelievable.
Make some noise alone, ma'am.
(Screaming)
- We're in Songpa-dong today. - Hey.
Your place is the first one.
- Is it? - Yes.
Why did you come when I'm not at home? I said it's Kang Ho Dong.
(She is very excited.)
When can you come home, ma'am?
We run a butcher shop at Garak Market.
I see.
So because we have to make gift sets,
we're so busy today? Why today of all days?
She's too busy.
So we'd like to...
chitchat with your mother-in-law.
- Then... - Okay.
If you wait for about 30 minutes,
I'll bring delicious meat so we can grill it and eat it together.
- We'll be waiting. - Gosh.
- Why did you give him the chance? - We'll be waiting.
For goodness' sake.
I was sweating buckets while walking up the stairs.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
Please drive safely.
Okay, I got it.
Drive safely as it's raining.
- Okay. - Thank you.
- Sure. - Gosh.
- They're going to... - See you.
Eat grilled meat she prepared herself.
1 shot 1 kill.
We run a business at Garak Market.
Because it's right before the holiday,
- they're very busy now. - Because Chuseok is coming.
How come they're so lucky?
Why did you let them try first?
Goodness. They're so kind.
From organic food to beef...
I'm so jealous of you. I am.
You gave them the chance because you thought it wouldn't work, right?
Yes. For goodness' sake.
Ho Dong and I should've come to this place.
- Say, "HoooW." - HoooW.
HoooW.
You guys also... Oh, you both have "Ho" in your names.
Only we will go in.
Tell them to come in too.
They will go into somewhere too.
- Tell them to come in too. - Okay.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Thank you, ma'am.
The daughter-in-law who welcomed them enthusiastically...
and the mother-in-law who invited them in a cool way...
live together in this cozy home.
They enter the dinner scene that has extraordinary energy.
Come on in.
- They're all going to come in. - Come on in.
- Come in, please. - She's so kind.
- Ma'am. - Gosh.
We can have grilled meat,
and I'll order in for you too.
(Come on in.)
- Come in. - Grilled meat is enough.
She thinks...
that it's not just us who are eating together,
but that all the crew members should eat together too.
I know. She invited all of them in.
- But... - Come over here.
- Ma'am. - How could some eat...
while others don't?
The crew members already had dinner.
So you don't have to feel pressure about them.
But still... Sit down, please.
There is nothing to drink. What should I do?
- Ma'am. - Yes?
Please focus on us.
These people are...
All of you visited my place, so how can I focus on only you two?
- Well... - I have to consider them too.
- Don't you think so? - If we're focused,
they're going to film the scene beautifully as camera directors.
It doesn't have to be beautiful.
I'm an old lady who is almost 80.
Are you saying you're in your 70?
I'm over 70. I'm 77.
- Pardon? - Sorry?
- What is it? - You look much younger than that.
- I thought you're in your late 50s. - Goodness.
You don't mean it.
- I mean it. - Ma'am.
- Because of your heart... - Sit down although it's shabby.
Ma'am, please focus only on us.
Ma'am.
- Ma'am... - It's okay.
It's okay.
Please put a mic on her.
Would you help her with it?
Where are you from, ma'am?
Namwon, North Jeolla Province.
Namwon.
Wait. Let me go down and buy something to drink.
What do you want to drink?
Something to drink? I beg you not to, ma'am.
- Well... - Please sit down for a moment.
What do you want to drink? If you tell me, I'll go buy them.
We won't drink anything at all. Please come here.
- I beg you. - The store is right down there.
- Let's go together then. - We'll buy them then.
No. Let's go together.
Ma'am, please sit down. I beg you.
You can sit down here comfortably indeed.
Please.
Give us some water, please.
- Right. - No, you don't have to.
I'll show you that we brought our own water.
She'll feel comfortable only when she sees us drink water.
I guess...
you've lived in Songpa-dong for a long time.
Yes, I have.
Did you live in a detached house in the past?
Yes, I did.
You had your old house torn down...
- and built this building, right? - Yes, that's right.
So you leased the shops on the first floor.
Yes.
I leased the units on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th floor too,
and we live on the sixth floor.
I knew it.
Then who lives here with you?
Well, people who live here are my son, my daughter-in-law,
and my granddaughter.
I have two granddaughters, but one of them is in the US.
- She went to do that. - Study abroad?
- Yes, to study abroad. - Where in the US?
No idea. Somewhere. I have no idea.
Anyway, there's...
Yes?
I should...
Goodness, Soo Jin.
Soo Jin.
- Goodness. - I was about to call you.
- My gosh. - Hello.
Hello. It's an honor.
My goodness.
- Goodness. - We were just about to call you.
Yes, my mom told me over the phone.
- You did, didn't you? - Really?
- And... - My granddaughter is so pretty.
- Isn't she? - Please come this way.
This way, please.
- Let's put the microphone on her. - Yes.
- It looks like... - Yes, the picture.
Did you take that picture during your husband's 70th birthday?
My husband.
- I see. - Yes.
- What's your age difference? - What?
The age difference.
We're about seven years apart.
But he suddenly passed away.
When?
It has been two years.
That's why.
- Come here. - Goodness, Soo Jin.
- My gosh. - You're the eldest granddaughter?
- Yes. - The eldest granddaughter.
They suddenly came, so I got really nervous,
and I have no idea what's going on.
Mom said her hands are shaking too.
She said she's nervous.
She said she'll bring some meat.
And... I should probably make some rice.
- Ma'am. - Where's the rice? We can do that.
- Yes. - Just the rice.
- Do you need help? - I'll do it.
I'll just wash the rice and put it in the cooker.
Leave it. Just sit down.
- We can... - Let's do it together.
- Just leave it. - Grandma, I'll do it.
- Let's do it together. - Forget it.
The rice... ma'am.
I'm good at making rice too.
- I'm good at making rice. - Soo Jin, do you know...
who our guest today is?
- The thief? - No, the guest.
He's Son Ho Young.
You're right. Yes, god.
Yes.
How did you come to our house? How did you end up...
- coming here? - You were the first house we rang.
As soon as we began.
Are we the first house?
Today is the 1st time in the year 2019...
that we succeeded with the first try.
That means we're meant to be.
We really are.
Do you like god?
He's not my generation.
- Right? - Yes.
- He's not. - Then who did you like?
I liked TVXQ.
So your mother is...
- She's running home. - From Garak Market?
I was waiting for the bus when she called me.
She suddenly told me to take the taxi.
She said, "Kang Ho Dong is at our house!"
"Kang Ho Dong is at our place! Come quickly! My hands are shaking!"
So I said, "Okay."
Have you ever thought about what you'll do if we come to your house?
I think I have.
- Like, "What would I do?" - Yes, "What should I do?"
I thought, "Could I really do that?"
Why are you so good on TV?
No, don't say that.
Ma'am.
- Soo Jin's mom! - Ho Dong!
- Ma'am! - Ho Dong!
Make some noise!
(Screaming)
Where are you going?
(She's not just an ordinary mom.)
Mom...
- This is Soo Jin's mom. - Hello.
- Goodness, hello. - That's not enough rice.
Can you come and check? We never know.
Ma'am. The daughter-in-law.
- The rice cooker. - This is the only rice cooker.
Where's the rice cooker?
Ma'am.
Are you the generation that liked god?
Of course!
Come on, give her a hug.
My gosh, this is so awesome.
I was a huge fan of god.
- Really? - Yes.
Sing a song that you know by god.
(Blue sky, sky blue balloons)
(Dancing)
Oh, gosh.
(This is exciting.)
The three generations showed that they're perfect.
The grandmother, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
(The fun family of Songpa-dong!)
This is an honor.
Man, it's really...
- Three generations... - You never see a family like this,
- three generations at one house. - Really.
You should have told your husband to come too.
Mother, we're busy at the store.
I just ran home in the midst of work.
To see whom?
You two can work tomorrow.
No way, Mother. I stopped packing the products that had to be sent.
Ma'am, you're very energetic too.
As soon as she walked in,
she made rice in two rice cookers.
(She already made rice in two rice cookers!)
While the rice gets cooked, let's have a small chat.
I'm not good at chatting.
Stop lying.
- I'm embarrassed - Are you really?
(She's so cute.)
What, Mom?
- She has great energy. - She does.
Anyway, let's calm down.
- Yes. - Goodness.
Okay. We're all here now.
Anyway, I can't believe how thrilled she is about god.
- Exactly. - You must be her bias.
- I really love god. - I see.
I don't know any other singers that debuted after god.
(Touched)
Who was your favorite?
(Silence)
Gosh.
- Who's your second favorite? - Ho Young.
The second.
(He's glad to win the silver medal.)
- She's very honest. - Yes.
- Who was your favorite? - My favorite?
Danny Ahn?
Kye Sang?
(Feeling shy)
- I have a question. - Sure.
Who's Gyeong Gyu's partner?
(Putting up an act)
Kye Sang.
I see.
No way.
Then who?
- I heard he's coming out as a unit. - Hey.
I'm sure it's his partner.
- Who is it? - Who?
Kim? Tae?
Kim Tae Woo? Tae Woo? The bear?
- Goodness. - "Love Rain".
- "Love Rain". - Yes, the bear.
- The bear. She's right. - Right?
- He's the bear, right? - Yes.
And 1, 2, 3, 4.
(She's singing the song too. Is she a fan?)
Come on!
(Speechless)
- Tell our neighbors to come. - My gosh.
Goodness, really?
(Holding hand!)
I can't believe I just heard that live.
Hey.
We should have told our neighbors to come.
Forget it. I'm busy looking at him by myself.
Your neighbors?
- Ma'am. - Yes?
Do you not mind if your daughter-in-law holds his hands?
It's fine. Who cares?
It's great. When is she going to get to hold his hands?
I usually only love my husband.
That's a given.
This is unbelievable.
(Her laughter control center seems to be broken.)
You suddenly realized that...
you're now on TV instead of watching Let's Eat Dinner Together.
I really thought it was a lie.
- A lie? - Or...
- I mean that... - And 2, 3, 4.
(Goodbye, don't go)
(Be happy, don't leave me)
- This is amazing. - It's amazing.
- Don't forget me - Don't forget me
(To think that Ho Young will leave after this moment...)
(I'm already in pain.)
(Don't go!)
Oh, gosh.
Ma'am, scream softly by yourself.
(You're the best, god.)
- What is happening? - Oh, gosh.
This is so amazing. What am I going to do?
Is this your first time hearing a member of god sing live?
- Yes. - Is this your first time?
Yes.
- You're so good. - It must be uncanny as an old fan.
This is so awesome.
I feel like I'm sitting on clouds.
Thank you.
She probably knows you ever since...
- you began to bring up Jae Min. - Yes.
- Back then... - Do you remember?
- When were you born? - In 1995.
In 1995? Jae Min was born in 1999.
You were in my textbook. In my music textbook.
He is in a textbook?
Really?
How long has it been since you lived with your daughter-in-law?
We moved in after Father passed away.
Ma'am, there are many neighborhoods in Seoul.
She used to live in Huam-dong.
- I lived in Huam-dong. - How did you end up in Songpa-dong?
I had my business here.
I lived in Huam-dong,
but had my business over here.
Because my house was too far away,
I ended up buying a house here.
Okay. Your hometown is Namwon,
- isn't it? - Yes.
Then were you arranged to marry your husband?
It was an arranged marriage thanks to someone we knew.
But we did date a few times before.
She was a player when she was younger.
(What are you saying?)
(Slapping!)
From what I heard, she was a player.
Were you popular in Namwon?
She stole rice to perm her hair.
- What's with you? - And she curled her hair too.
She tried running away with her friends in Namwon,
then she got caught at the station and was sent back home.
I can't believe you shared that.
She did that in the past.
- To go hang out in Seoul? - Yes.
Think about how great Seoul was.
Back then, I lived in a rural area.
But my grandfather was a very strict man...
who wouldn't let me go out, so I climbed over walls.
- I see. - She climbed over walls too?
When I came back home, I washed my hair.
- By the stream. - I washed my hair before coming in.
- Really? - I did that.
- Back then... - Really?
Yes, really.
Does she know this story? I think she's shocked.
I didn't know she washed her hair by the stream.
It's shocking.
She did that.
Where did you go after doing your hair?
I went downtown and to Jeonju too.
- Jeonju? - You went all the way to Jeonju?
- To Jeonju? - You went out of town?
Out of town?
Was it a lot of fun to hang out like that?
It's so much fun.
That's even more fun.
You're right. That makes things more fun.
That's why she's very lenient on my daughters...
- coming in late. - Yes, she's forgiving.
She says, "If she doesn't play now, when is she going to play?"
She tells me to go out.
You're right.
Goodness. You're open-minded.
- Let's prepare dinner. - All right.
(They're getting hungry.)
- Their energy is amazing. - Do you need my help?
You can stay here.
- Today... - I'll do it.
We'll take turns.
(Here comes the Korean beef.)
Goodness, that's all you have?
- That's enough. - What?
- That's enough. - Look at this.
(They're fixated.)
Check out the marbling.
Be careful.
What is this?
This grill is on a different level.
(The grill looks amazing too.)
- Goodness. - Look at this.
Which cut is this?
- These are short ribs. - Short ribs.
- This is sirloin. - Sirloin.
It's cut of sirloin steak.
It's the best of that cut.
- We just need rice and kimchi. - Okay.
- We only have young radish. - What should we serve?
Meat and young radish complement each other.
The young radish is tasty.
- It's refreshing. - Put it in here.
It's tasty to have with hot meat.
I think this is enough.
They prepare enough young radish...
that will counter the greasiness of the meat.
(It looks tasty.)
(He does his best to help out.)
Gosh, this looks good.
(He tries one.)
It's old, so I'm not sure if it'll taste nice.
It's really good.
Freshly-cooked rice is also ready.
Give it to me.
With her favorite idol,
she prepares a dreamlike dinner.
(With her favorite idol, she prepares a dreamlike dinner.)
(The meat looks outstanding.)
I need to take a photo,
so please place the meat on top.
We could place two pieces of sirloin here.
And now, here.
Look at this.
This is a meal prepared by an exciting family in Songpa-dong.
This meal...
was prepared by a family of three generations in Songpa-dong.
The Korean beef's marbling is just amazing.
It's a juicy meat watch.
This meal was prepared by a fan of HoooW.
Now that I've taken a photo,
let's remove the meat.
Cooking the meat all at once won't taste good.
- Let's grill them one by one. - Okay.
- I already took the photo so... - All right.
- I need to hurry. - Listen to him.
- Right. - I need to be quick.
This is...
- This is enough. - Of course.
- It looks so good. - You must finish it.
I will.
I can't believe this.
- This is good. - I think so too.
It looks good to begin with.
- Soo Jin, try this. - Mother.
- Come on here. - This is a good idea.
- Yes. - Right.
It tastes better with a bit of salt.
- It's herb salt. - Is it?
- You need to salt it a bit. - Yes, it is.
(They keep staring at it.)
If you close your eyes, you wouldn't know if this is...
the sound of rain or grilling meat.
- Doesn't it sound like rain? - My gosh.
(Close your eyes and enjoy.)
- Eat up, Ho Young. - Yes?
- Eat up. - Right now? What about Grandma?
- Grandma. - I'm not having any.
- Why are you sitting there? - Mother.
You need to eat up as well. I must've gone crazy.
I only thought of Ho Young.
This is good-quality meat, so you shouldn't overcook it.
You're right. Thank you for the meal.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - My mother is worried...
about the staff members.
They all ate.
- They've finished eating already. - Eat up.
- Ma'am, you should eat first. - You should eat first.
Mother, eat up.
(He tries the Korean beef.)
(Savoring)
Isn't it good?
- It melted in my mouth. - You should stop grilling.
All the meals that we have are tasty...
- no matter where we go. - Right.
Goodness, look at that.
You should try some before they become overcooked.
- This is... - It shouldn't be too cooked.
- It shouldn't be. - Ho Dong.
It's really good.
- I already gave Ho Young some. - Dip the chili in this.
How is it?
- I'm fine. - Gosh.
This makes me say, "Oh, my gosh."
- Oh, my gosh? - "OMG".
This is the best.
This is...
I really want to one-shot it.
- Do it. - Do it.
- Try it. - Try it.
- I want to see it. - Me too.
- You want to see it? - Yes.
Can you wrap it in rice and eat it?
He'll wrap rice with meat, not lettuce.
- Like this. - There's only rice.
I need this too.
- It's so big. - And then, this.
You do this, then...
(He wraps it with a piece of meat.)
Like this?
(It's huge.)
What if it's hot?
(He puts it into his mouth.)
You do have a big mouth.
(Munching)
Oh, no. It's hot.
Do you want some water?
(Twirling)
- Is it good? - He wants us to eat.
My gosh, it fit.
(They're amazed.)
(Ho Dong has succeeded today once again.)
My gosh.
I hear the juice squirting out.
(It's a juicy ASMR session.)
I can hear it.
- I should have some. - I've never described food...
this way before.
This is heavy-juice watch.
(He makes an amazing expression.)
(She reacts so well.)
The juice is...
(Swag)
(Let's all say swag together.)
I thought the same way as well.
They are great with reactions.
It's really heavy-juice watch.
(Songpa-dong is chaotic due to heavy juice.)
The meat oozing with juice is dancing inside his mouth.
They successfully got into the first house they rang...
and even got to have Korean beef.
Ho Young is on cloud nine.
[VIU Ver] jTBC E144 'Let's Eat Dinner Together' "The Road to a Meal" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Ho Dong, who knows how to eat meat,
stuffs his mouth with the amazing harmony...
of Korean beef, young radish, and rice.
(His mouth is full.)
This house is full of the sound of rain, grilled meat,
singing, and laughter.
It's a feast of various sounds.
(It's a feast of various sounds.)
This is Korean beef.
You've become the symbol of Korean beef...
in Jamsil and Songpa.
- Oh, my. - You just need...
to make an acrostic poem with Korean beef.
- Korean. - Korean.
I had a grudge.
(They're having fun.)
Why would you?
Beef.
I can't believe this. I met Son Ho Young!
(It was an amazing acrostic poem.)
I wonder what Tae Woo is eating.
- Me too. - Please ask him.
Tae Woo, what are you eating?
We're eating this.
(She teases him.)
(They look pitiful.)
Something felt ominous the moment the parasol was brought out.
- Back there... - What is this?
- Where's the umbrella? - You liked it before.
What do you mean? The parasol took away our luck.
Hold on. That's it.
They got in right away.
It's strange.
The people around here are generous.
- In Songpa-dong? - Yes.
That place looks interesting.
That one?
(They find a unique door.)
- Should we ring the doorbell? - That one?
(Tae Woo will finally get to ring the doorbell.)
I wonder what floor you need to ring. Ring it.
(Let's see.)
(Will he succeed like Ho Young did?)
- Who is it? - It worked.
- Hello. - Yes?
Do you recognize me?
Well... I'm sorry, but we need to head out.
- Is that so? - Thank you anyway.
- Have a safe trip. - Good luck.
- Thanks. - Thanks.
(They continue to ring doorbells.)
Gosh, the journey has begun.
Does it feel ominous?
(Yes, it does.)
(The light turns on.)
What?
- Who is it? - Hello.
- Hello. - Oh, hello.
Hello.
Goodness.
- Are you home alone? - Yes.
- Who else is home? - My grandchild.
What about your children?
They're at work.
- You're taking care of their baby. - Yes.
What time do they come home?
- Probably around 8pm or 9pm. - That's too late.
It'll be too late to eat then.
- Oh, is it that show? - Yes, it is.
- I'm sorry. - No, don't worry about it.
Hi.
- I see. We'll ring other doorbells. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Everyone here works. - Right.
Goodbye.
It was nice to meet you.
Will we stay here?
Let's try the other rooms.
(They try again.)
They're all office workers.
(They hope they'll succeed.)
Who is it?
- Hello. - Hello.
Do you recognize me?
Yes, I do.
Hello.
Who's home right now?
It's just me and my baby.
Is that so?
How old is your baby?
- 5 years old. - 5 years old.
Is it a boy or a girl?
- It's a boy. - It's a boy.
(It's a boy.)
- You probably haven't eaten yet. - No, I haven't.
Do you think it'll be possible...
for Tae Woo and me to join you...
for dinner?
Could you wait for three minutes?
Do you need to discuss this with someone?
I'm alone, so I'm nervous.
I see. You need to calm down.
- We'll give you 10 minutes. - Thank you.
- All right. - All right.
(High-five)
- Did we succeed? - Yes.
She wants us to come up after 10 minutes.
Hold on. She hasn't decided yet.
- No, she has. - Really?
She wants to clean the house first.
She'll look at the side dishes she has as well.
No way.
What if she opens the door and bails?
I've been doing this for three years.
I know the tricks of the trade.
Just trust me.
I'm not going anywhere.
Remember their number.
- Hello. - I'm a big fan of yours.
- Hello. - No way.
1, 2.
(They take photos with the passing-by god fan.)
Thank you.
(The one who suggested the photo time is proud.)
Isn't everything going too easily?
No, Songpa is...
a very generous town.
Let's come here every week.
- I know. - Let's come here every week.
We would succeed every week.
(It's 6:44pm. It's been 10 minutes.)
Has it been 10 minutes now?
(Finally, he calls the house again.)
(They look very excited.)
You should help her clean.
- I am sorry, but... - Yes?
(Ma'am.)
(Why are you apologizing?)
(His 3-year knowhow was telling him that they're going to succeed.)
I have to go to work at 9pm.
- Is that right? - Yes.
I asked if I could take the evening off,
but my boss said I couldn't, so I'm afraid I can't invite you in.
(Come to your senses.)
(Come to your senses, idiot.)
Right. Okay.
I am sorry.
- All right. - It's okay.
Thank you for trying to take the evening off work for us.
Let's go.
(What will they do about this situation?)
Why do you keep getting ahead of yourself?
(It's a perfect example of getting ahead of yourself.)
The parasol is...
A while ago, you said you like it.
We will succeed, right?
Why did you let them take the opportunity?
I thought nobody was in.
(He thought nobody was in the house.)
I thought nobody was in.
(I'm telling the truth, Tae Woo.)
When you get ahead of yourself, the 3-year knowhow becomes useless.
- Let's end it here. - Okay.
(They will try to make up for Gyeong Gyu's mistake here.)
All right.
I am starving.
- Are you starving? - I am.
(He presses the doorbell.)
(It's very quiet.)
- It's... - Is anyone in?
Nobody is in.
(They pass the empty house and move to the next one.)
(Gyeong Gyu fearlessly presses the bell.)
It feels like the workers all live alone here.
Yes?
Hello.
- He's in the middle of washing. - We will wait here.
- I am sorry. - We will wait.
(We will wait.)
He must've gotten rained on.
- He must have. - That's why he's washing.
It poured down suddenly.
He's a good young man.
I think we have to buy something using six dollars we have.
A while ago, you said we were going to get invited in, but we didn't.
I am 100 percent certain he will invite us in.
We get three dollars each.
So we can buy something at a grocery store.
We can cook ham and egg...
and eat with him.
There he is.
- Hello. - Hello.
Who's in the house?
I am in the house alone.
- Are you? - Yes.
What were you going to eat for dinner?
(He's flustered.)
I was going to...
skip dinner.
- No way. - You should eat dinner.
You work hard. You shouldn't skip dinner.
You shouldn't do that.
I watch this show, so I know how it works.
I would invite you in if I have something to eat...
- Don't worry about it. - and if I was planning to eat.
- It's all right. - All right.
It's going to work.
(He rings the bell upstairs.)
I thought we were going to succeed really fast.
Are you shooting Let's Eat Dinner Together?
- We are. - We are.
- I am not ready. - What?
- Enjoy your dinner. - I am famished.
(They get in the autumn rain again.)
- Ho Young. - Tae Woo, you mean?
I mean Tae Woo.
Are you regretting not choosing him as your teammate?
(He talks nonsense whenever he opens his mouth.)
Hello.
Have you eaten?
(Where does this path lead to?)
(Where is it taking me?)
Ho Young ruined it all.
(I don't know, I don't know)
(But I still continue walking)
- Hello. - Hello, ma'am.
He's god.
Do you want to make memories with Gyeong Gyu and Tae Woo?
I am sorry.
- All right. - All right.
(Trudging)
Should we go there?
Do whatever you like.
(What really gives me joy?)
(Is it money or fame?)
(Or is it the people who feed me?)
(I want to know, I want to know)
(I still don't know the answer)
Songpa isn't for me.
You said you want to come here every week.
(Is he insane?)
Songpa-go isn't for me.
(It's 7:13pm, and Gyeong Gyu and Tae Woo are still trying.)
Because it's raining, many people are in.
I know.
(He suddenly looks thin.)
Yes?
- Hello. - There you go.
- Hello. - Do you happen to recognize me?
Mr. Kim Tae Woo.
- That's it. - That's right.
- He is in god. - Who are you with?
- I'm with my baby. - Are you just with your baby?
- Yes. - Hello. I am Lee Gyeong Gyu.
- Hello. - Hello.
I am famished.
I am sorry.
What do we do?
My baby gets very shy around strangers.
How old is your baby?
- Three years old. - Gosh.
All three-year-old kids get shy around strangers.
- He doesn't like men. - Pardon?
He doesn't like men very much.
I have three kids, you know.
He's the father of three kids.
- He likes girls. - He likes girls?
He likes girls.
He's a girl.
My child is a boy.
It's a boy?
He's a boy, so he likes girls.
- We... - Right now...
We have nowhere to go.
He's down with a cold.
- What's that? - He should rest.
We can't go there then.
- Your child has a cold? - Yes.
We will be carrying in all kinds of germs.
I am unwell in so many places.
I'm sorry.
(They fail again.)
All right, ma'am.
On a rainy day... Why does it have to rain? Lake...
(He means heavy rain, not lake.)
(The huge parasol keeps Gyeong Gyu's side.)
Do you not get a hunch...
- when you're about to succeed? - No.
I never get a hunch.
(It seems like his senses became very dull.)
(It's 7:30pm, and Gyeong Gyu and Tae Woo are still pressing bells.)
(The gate opens right away.)
The gate opened.
- Shall we go up? - Let's go up.
(They decide to go up to check.)
(Will they be able to get a meal instead of false hope?)
It smells good.
(He presses the doorbell as soon as he arrives.)
Hello.
- Hello. - You know, don't you?
I know.
Let's Eat Dinner Together.
I just woke up.
Why did you wake up now?
Yes. So...
Who are you with right now?
I live alone.
- Is that right? - Are you currently working?
- I recently quit my job. - Right.
I was resting at home.
Then...
We can talk about how young people think these days.
Do you have anything to eat?
(Thinking carefully)
We can make pasta.
- That sounds great. - That sounds lovely.
Something like that.
- Fried chicken wings. - What?
Fried chicken wings.
- That sounds nice. - I can cook those for you.
Chicken and noodles are always good.
- It's a perfect combination. - It's perfect.
I will cook you those then.
- Will you? - Will you invite us in then?
Yes. Yes.
I watch the show.
So I know how it works.
We tried for an hour.
(Finally, they get over the trauma of getting ahead of themselves.)
- He's our brother. - He is.
He's our brother.
We are brothers.
We are.
I was still asleep, and I heard someone singing.
I slept with my window open, and it rained.
(Why do you keep following me)
(This is the house.)
(Go, Tae Woo.)
(Goodbye, don't go, be happy)
(He heard "Lies" in his dream.)
I never thought it was you who was singing it.
- He heard it when I sang. - He...
- He heard it when you sang. - Yes.
- That's... - I heard it from here too.
- Right. Right. - We are meant to meet.
- Please wait a little bit. - All right.
I am over the moon.
- Hey. - Why is it making me so happy?
(It's not a big deal.)
By the way, don't you think you're faltering too much?
No. No.
I want to know what he did yesterday to sleep in until now.
I know.
Are you all right?
I am too hungry. I am too hungry.
- All right. - Let's go in.
(At 7:26pm, Gyeong Gyu and Tae Woo enter the house.)
How many servings of pasta do you have?
You eat a lot, don't you?
- No. We don't eat much. - We don't eat much.
We don't eat that much.
I can cook a generous amount.
Can you?
Is this for watching movies?
Yes. It's a beam projector.
(s it a beam projector?)
- It's nice. - His kept it neat.
I know.
He must've stayed up late and watched movies.
(It's his own cinema.)
When you have something like this, you can't sleep.
By the way,
he's such a neat boy.
- This house looks very different. - I know.
The bed used to be here.
But I didn't like it.
- So I moved the bed. - Originally,
- it was up here. - Yes. It was up there.
Where's dining table?
I just eat in front of the computer.
- Like this? - Yes.
I eat while using the computer.
(He usually eats while using the computer.)
- I use... - This seems fine.
This table when people come over.
It's our second time.
- Suitcase. - Suitcase table.
It's our second time to eat on the suitcase.
(It's actually the third suitcase table.)
It's our second time.
It's...
(Suitcase Table 1)
(Upgraded version)
(Suitcase Table 2)
(It makes him laugh.)
- This is perfect. - It's perfect.
(He loves it.)
It's perfect. It brings back memories.
Tell us what to do.
(They will prepare food now.)
We are good at cooking.
First...
- It's real pasta. - Yes. This and...
I thought you were talking about a ready-to-eat pasta.
It's nice with fried chicken.
(He's excited.)
Which sauce should we use?
- It's basil pesto. - Basil pesto.
- I like it too. - Right.
Okay.
It's done then.
I will boil the water first.
(It looks like he's done it many times.)
I can tell you've done it many times.
How many meals do you eat in a day at home?
About 1 to 1.5 meals.
What is 1.5 meal?
- What counts as half a meal? - Snacks.
- Snacks. - Yes.
I recently quit my job.
I've been staying at home.
- I need to wash my hair. - Sure.
(Let's Eat Dinner Together's Hand Washing Campaign)
(Wash your hands thoroughly with soap for 30 seconds.)
Let's see.
(While Jun Hyeok's away, )
(Tae Woo puts olive oil in the water.)
Do you know how to cook pasta?
I do, of course.
You are good at cooking.
I like cooking.
(He comes back after washing his hair.)
How do you like your noodles to be cooked?
I like it slightly hard.
- Al dente? - Yes.
Yes.
(Next is chicken.)
I will cook a generous amount.
I have a lot.
What? That's too much.
Should I take out one?
- Yes. - One?
(One)
That's enough.
- That's enough. - Right.
(Cook only what you can eat.)
By the way, you recently quit your job. What was your job?
I used to be an aquarist.
- I see. - An aquarist?
Yes. Like a zookeeper.
- You had to go inside the aquarium? - Yes.
(Aquarist keeps the marine life in aquariums.)
That's quite unique.
Do you swim well then?
Yes. I am good at scuba diving.
- You are a certified scuba diver. - You...
You play with seals.
Yes. There are seals and sea lions.
There are also otters and penguins.
(Are you here to have a meal?)
(Penguin)
- Beluga whale. - You go inside the aquarium...
and feed the animals.
(Beluga whale)
That's a very unique profession.
Which aquarium did you work at?
At Jamsil "I" Aquarium. It's very near.
- The one right here. - Yes.
- You worked at a big aquarium. - It's just across the lake.
(He used to work very near.)
How many hours did you have to stay in the water?
I had to clean the aquarium...
- before it opened. - Right. You should clean it.
I had to swear the scuba diving gear and go inside.
- I had to clean the aquarium. - That sounds really tough.
But I liked the job, so it wasn't that tough.
From what I know, the competition...
to become an aquarist is very high.
Right. There aren't many places you can work in the nation.
It's a popular profession too.
You are like the children's hero.
Yes. We are very popular among children.
I only live one life, and I want to try as many things as I can.
How old are you this year?
Female and male whales...
I was asking about your age.
Why would I ask for the age of the whales?
I...
I heard it as "whale" too.
It sounded like you were asking about the whale's age.
Tell us your age as well as the whale's age.
I am 26 years old.
He's young.
The male whale is 12,
and the female whale is 9.
(He ended up revealing their age.)
Don't you have photos of you working?
I will show you an online video.
I forgot the search word.
- Beluga whale? - Watermelon.
- There is Watermelon. - That's not me.
Is it not you?
She's not your girlfriend, is she?
She's not. She's...
She's my colleague.
My girlfriend works somewhere else.
I...
(Where are you then?)
It's this part.
(They are impressed.)
That's Jun Hyeok.
Yes.
- She's your colleague. - Yes. She's my colleague.
(This isn't it, is it?)
- What is that? - Is it shrimp?
- That's a mealworm. - "Cho Jun Hyeok".
That's a good source of protein.
(He talks like an expert.)
You are handsome. You look great on camera.
Look at the otters.
How cute.
(You have to feed them equally.)
(Eating)
How cute.
(We can't handle their cuteness.)
(However...)
There they come.
It looks like...
you are going back soon.
As you watch the video,
your eyes got teary.
(His eyes got teary.)
- He misses the otters. - He must miss the otters.
- That's it. - It's a fun job.
(They go back to fixing the meal.)
Are they cooked?
They had been cooked once before.
- So they are cooked. - Are they done?
We can put the sauce now.
Chicken lover Gyeong Gyu is in charge of the chicken.
(Wait.)
Where's pickled radish?
I will get it out.
Here's the pickled radish.
The radishes make the dish more complete.
(Next is pasta.)
Should I pour everything?
Yes. You can just pour everything.
Tae Woo isn't cooking jjajangmyeon this time.
He's cooking pasta.
(The noodles and pasta become one.)
(Pressing)
He dexterously minces the garlic.
(He looks like professional.)
He throws minced garlic on top of the noodles.
It becomes the delicious basil pesto pasta.
I am really glad I chose to come with you.
You are... Gosh...
Right?
I have truffle oil too if you need it. You can use it.
Let's add truffle oil at the end.
It's a lot.
(It's a generous amount.)
- Should we take it to the table? - It looks nice.
We are having a meal at Songpa-dong...
with a nice young man.
Chicken and pasta.
(He didn't swear.)
This is the dinner...
prepared by an aquarist from Songpa-dong.
Tae Woo's al dente pasta creates a perfect harmony...
with fried chicken which is a must for people living alone.
This is the delicious meal of a man living alone in Songpa-dong.
Let's eat.
Did you buy this?
Yes. I like seasonings.
Can you splash it how you always do it?
The truffle smell will be really strong.
- Try it. - Let's go with the white one.
Should we use white truffle oil?
This one has a more subtle flavor.
He's got class.
(Truffle is 1 of the world's 3 greatest ingredients.)
- He looks classy. - He does.
- When he pours it, - Just a little bit.
There should be a caption,
- "Aquarist". - This would do.
(Laughing)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you for this.
Have you always liked seasonings?
I like them.
I got black peppers in Vietnam.
I like seasonings.
We thought it wouldn't be enough,
but when you cook it, it expands.
(He loves it.)
- Is it good? - Yes.
(He's happy.)
Truffle oil basil pesto pasta.
Didn't I cook the pasta too well?
- You cooked it well. - It's cooked to perfection.
It's perfect.
(He's not eating ramyeon.)
(This is it.)
Tae Woo is in love with basil pesto and truffle oil.
He devours the noodles...
as if he's going to swim in the pot.
(Swimming)
Gyeong Gyu is already swimming in the bowl.
(Slurping)
It's as if he's shooting an ASMR video.
The three men came together...
and cooked a delicious meal.
When you worked in the aquarium,
what was your closest animal?
Otters are the friendliest of all.
- Otters? - Yes. Otters.
Are they smart?
Yes. They recognize people.
They can be potty-trained too.
- Really? - Yes.
Tell us more about otters.
Otters can swim in the sea,
and they can also move fast on the land.
They have a long tail. Using that tail,
they can swim fast and freely.
They usually feed on candlefish and shrimp.
Or... They are omnivorous, so they like fruits and vegetables too.
Their favorites are tomato and cucumber.
Did anything special happen while you were working as an aquarist?
Perhaps you got bitten by a turtle.
Something special?
I was sleeping at midnight,
and Beluga broke the aquarium.
- What is Beluga? - It's a whale.
- A whale? - Yes.
What kind is that?
- What do you mean? - That whale.
It's called Beluga whale.
- It's white. - "Beluga" is the species' name.
- Yes. - It's a kind of whale.
It's called Beluga whale.
(It's a whale species called Beluga whale.)
(Cheer up, Gyeong Gyu.)
(He's speechless.)
Like humpback whale.
- This one is called Beluga whale. - Right. It's called Beluga whale.
- It broke the aquarium. - How many are they?
Did it bump into the glass wall?
The glass wall was destroyed.
I had to go there in the middle of the night and get it out of there.
You got the Beluga whale out of there?
No, I got the shards in the aquarium out.
- They are very sharp. - Right. Right.
- They can get hurt. - They can get hurt.
I had to clean the aquarium.
- In the middle of the night. - Yes.
It must've been really tough.
(Animals come before himself.)
What's your next dream?
I am thinking about many things.
I wanted to be a sweeper.
I also wanted to be a tour guide.
- A sweeper? - Yes.
Yes.
I don't think what they do isn't necessarily bad.
Right.
You wake up early in the morning and clean the streets.
- You get to help other people. - Right.
You have unique dreams.
- You were cleaning aquariums. - Yes.
Is there a reason why you want to do such things?
Why do you want to become a sweeper?
In elementary school,
I wanted to become one because I liked being tidy.
I also liked animals too.
While looking for what to do,
I found a job where I could do both things.
(An aquarist does both things.)
I majored in animal resources.
- You majored in it? - Yes.
- This was my dream all along. - He's always had the same dream.
- You achieved it quickly. - Right.
Yes, I did.
How long have you been an aquarist for?
It's been a year and a half.
Before that, I worked at "S" Park.
- You worked there? - Yes.
Before graduating, I worked as an intern there.
I learned some stuff while interning.
Through that, I was able to become an experienced aquarist.
Despite his young age, he knows exactly what he wants to do.
I know.
- Did you serve in the military? - Coincidently, I was in the navy.
(They're all related to his dream.)
You joined the navy on purpose, didn't you?
(He planned everything.)
- You like to plan ahead. - He does.
What do you think you'll be doing in two years?
He has everything planned out.
I don't know if I'll succeed right away or not,
but I know I'll be happy...
- about my job. - Right.
That's the best.
Meanwhile, at the house where they're feasting on Korean beef...
Do you want more rice?
It's okay.
It looks like he needs more.
I'm sorry, but I think I need a bit more.
(I knew it.)
Ho Young, you don't need more, do you?
I do.
- I actually wanted more. - Their legs must hurt from sitting.
Goodness.
He's really handsome.
I know. He's the best. I'm totally a fan.
(They talk about him.)
- Thank you. - That's a lot.
That's fine.
(Even the rice is tasty.)
Having meat, rice, and kimchi makes me eat a lot.
- Right? - Yes.
(They also have more young radish.)
(Adding young radish)
- Goodness. - It's good. She's a good cook.
- I think I'll miss it. - It's good.
If I run out, she makes them.
- She's good. - Mother.
Everything she makes is good.
She's all done.
- You're done eating. - Yes.
(Feeling nervous)
I feel bad that only we're eating.
It would've been nice if they could have a piece.
She feels bad for the staff.
After today's filming, they'll all have lobster.
They'll have lobster. They're so delicious.
They'll be having that.
Let's have some lobster too.
(That was unexpected.)
My son buys me whatever I want.
He always does.
If his mother craves something,
- he'll get it no matter what. - Right.
My daughter-in-law is also wonderful.
She is.
How did you meet your husband?
- My husband? - Yes.
We were working together.
- What kind of job? - We worked at a department store.
Did you work together?
I had a sales job.
The floors were divided into two, but we worked at the same company.
It wasn't anything special. There was a company dinner,
and we met. We're the same age.
So we called each other comfortably and became friends.
First, he was a friend. Then, he was a lover.
- And now, he's my husband. - I bet she liked him first.
I bet she liked him first. My son is handsome.
(She fails to keep a straight face.)
(She takes her revenge.)
Did your husband make the first move?
No, I did.
Seriously?
That's right.
(She's ashamed.)
She's saying it's true.
We went to a night club for our company dinner.
- That's enough. - It's okay.
It's nothing much.
We were going in the same direction, so I asked him to tag along.
(Let's go together since we're going the same way.)
- She can't even drink. - I can't drink at all.
That's when we became friends.
After some time had passed,
we both fell in love with each other before we knew it.
When you asked him to tag along,
did you already have feelings for him?
Among the guys, he was the best-looking.
- He was? - Yes.
Among all those boys, he was the best one.
Looks do matter, you see.
Me too.
This is such a coincidence.
Our new song has a similar story.
"Game Over".
I got goosebumps.
From coworkers to friends,
and from friends to lovers.
These two individuals have now become a couple.
Now, they're each other's life partners...
who are headed in the same direction.
It's amazing...
- how similar they are. - I know.
Is there a lot to pack?
She misses her son.
Yes, there's a lot.
How did you first start the Korean beef business...
with your husband at Garak Market?
They didn't start with Korean beef but with by-products.
- For example, the trending tripe. - Right.
They sold those first.
(They started off by selling by-products.)
They stopped selling them...
once they got too old.
We told our son to take over.
But he refused to.
He was busy partying back then,
so he refused to take over.
We just let him be and hired another worker.
We told him to party as much as he wanted.
And he did for some time.
- Then he came back. - Yes, he did.
- He probably felt guilty. - Right.
That's when we chose our wedding date.
After that, I told him to work there.
(That's how they started selling Korean beef.)
That's what happened.
He must've been in this business for some time now.
It's around the same age as her.
Right.
It's been 25 years.
He did everything he wanted to do.
Since we only had one son,
he was free to do whatever he wanted.
He only returned after doing everything else.
Since she liked to party as well, her son took after her.
Don't you think...
it's best to party as much as you want first?
- Isn't that how he took over? - Yes, I'm all for that.
- It's all gone. - We finished it.
Where did it go?
Where did all the meat go?
- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.
It's been ages since I've eaten meat at home.
He's lived abroad for some time...
and became a singer at such a young age.
He lived away from home.
- Imagine how much he missed this. - Right.
- He's still living alone. - Right.
- He doesn't cook at home. - You should get married.
It's not that I don't want to.
It just turned out like this.
You should hurry.
Gyeong Gyu said he'd get married in two years.
We'll have to see.
I'll come back in two years.
(Believe it or not.)
Did you get this house...
with the money you earned...
as an aquarist?
- I leased this house. - I see.
The government aids young individuals...
in buying their homes.
- I see. - That's how I came here.
- With no interest? - No, there is.
- Is it low? - Yes, it's very low.
But you've quit.
For now, I have my severance pay.
How long has it been?
It's been two months.
How does it feel to rest?
I'm not completely laidback...
- since it was something... - Right.
I had dreamt of doing since I was young.
I didn't struggle because it didn't suit me but for some other reason.
So it's a bit sad.
But then again, there are many things I want to do.
- Right. - I have a variety.
And I'm still young.
I'm trying to stay calm and look at the big picture.
(He's looking for another job while resting.)
You must have mixed feelings when you see "I" Tower from here.
- He can see it easily. - I see it no matter where I go.
I feel like I'm being watched.
What? You feel like you're being watched?
Imagine someone on the top saying,
"I wonder what that former aquarist is doing."
- You sound so confident. - He does.
And he doesn't seem nervous at all.
You're right.
- That's the biggest strength. - You're not worried.
- You're laidback. - I'm trying to stay positive.
That's how life is.
I have my own family of three kids.
These days, I have a lot on my mind.
- But you're different. - Right.
You think of the big picture.
You're positive and simpleminded.
- I'm jealous. - He's laidback.
- It's really nice. - I can feel his energy.
How did you meet your girlfriend?
- Well... - Did she visit the aquarium?
Did you do this?
Or this?
A coworker of mine...
had a girlfriend who worked at a hospital.
And my girlfriend is her coworker.
She looks like Park Bo Young.
Outer appearance...
- It matters. - Park Bo Gum.
Park Bo Young.
Did you really think his girlfriend looked like Park Bo Gum?
I thought it was Park Bo Gum.
- He's pretty-looking. - Right.
It was Park Bo Young? I'm sorry.
Who confessed first?
I got some flowers.
That's amazing.
Will you marry her?
Of course.
What about your parents?
(Did their parents approve of their marriage?)
Her parents are very strict,
so they don't know she has a boyfriend.
What?
(What's that?)
So...
- You promised to marry her. - They promised to get married.
- That's right. - You two promised...
to get married someday.
- Right. - Do you have a ring or something?
Aquarists don't wear a ring...
in case the animals swallow it.
That's why I don't have a ring.
My gosh.
He's scary.
He's so meticulous.
(It seems like he planned the whole thing.)
It sounds rather scientific.
- He sounds calculating. - It's like a thriller.
My girlfriend is calling me now.
- Go ahead and get it. - Answer the phone.
It's important.
- Hello? - Yes.
- Do you know "Let's Eat Dinner Together"? - Who?
"Let's Eat Dinner Together".
- The variety show? - The show. Yes.
Hello?
- Hello? - Hello.
I'm Kim Tae Woo. I'm a singer.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
(She's cute.)
(He sings "Love Rain" to make her believe him.)
(Do you recognize my voice?)
(Laughing)
What? What was that?
What? I'm Kim Tae Woo.
You still don't believe me?
- No. - Then can we try a video call?
Yes, sure.
I'll call you back.
(He calls her immediately.)
Hello?
My gosh. Hello.
Hello. This is real.
(Shouting)
There's Park Bo Young.
(Flattered)
I look like Park Bo Young, right?
You look just like Park Bo Young.
- I look the same, right? - Yes, you do.
Tell us three good things about your boyfriend.
He's a good cook.
- He cooks well. - I see.
And he's very nice.
(My boyfriend is very nice.)
He's a little stubborn,
- I see. - but it can be his strength.
Like how stubborn?
(When is he stubborn?)
Sometimes, I tell him things...
hoping he'd take my side.
That's right.
But he contradicts every word I say.
He says he understands why such a thing happened.
(She sounds very disappointed.)
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
(I'll be better.)
She was upset with it.
Women don't want you to distinguish between right and wrong.
- She wants you to be on her side. - You should tell him that.
We will completely change him.
Please do that.
"Please do that"?
All right. We will.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Say bye to her.
- Bye. - She's pretty.
So here's the thing.
Let's say your girlfriend is speaking ill of someone.
That's when you should chime in.
- "You're right. He's so mean." - Exactly.
"I should just go kill him."
"Where is he now?"
"I'll just go break his legs."
"You should never see him again."
"Who did that to you?"
(Acting passionately)
(He feels shy after showing his passionate acting.)
You should do that.
You may compliment yourself.
(They let him compliment himself.)
What are the good things about yourself?
- You should talk to yourself. - Right.
- It will cheer you up. - At the camera.
- "I'm..." - He's been in a lot of TV shows.
What a cliche.
(What a cliche.)
Look at the camera.
(He starts to compliment himself calmly.)
You've lived alone since you were 20.
Since you're an only child,
you've lived without any help...
from your siblings.
I admire that you always have...
a positive view of life.
Secondly, I'm proud...
that you've achieved...
one of your dreams so fast.
Give him a big hand.
This is a happy day.
My mom is...
like a friend.
When I have a fight with my boyfriend,
Mom gives me advice. Even when I looked for a new job,
I asked mom for her advice.
What's second?
I like that she keeps giving me an allowance even I have a job.
(She gets an allowance from her mom when she has a job.)
(It deserves a big compliment.)
- It's really nice. - It's the best.
- That's the best. - It's your turn.
(It's the daughter-in-law's turn to compliment her mother-in-law.)
Mother has a nice personality.
- Gosh. - And...
she's very self-devoting.
(She devotes herself for her family.)
I believe all mothers are like that.
- Right. They are generous. - And most importantly,
she's given us a lot of things.
(She's given us a lot of things.)
Does she give you a lot of pocket money?
I guess it's more than pocket money.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Clapping their hands)
- Thank you, Mother. - I love you.
I don't even have to compliment my daughter-in-law.
She's so good.
She's nice to me, and she's good at housekeeping.
And she works well. Everything about her...
is so good.
(She's the best in every respect.)
Do you want her to be your daughter-in-law in your next life?
Of course.
I want to meet someone like her.
Gosh, that's the best compliment.
She's really nice.
- I'm really grateful. - You should stand up now.
You can promote your new song for 30 seconds.
Or you can sing for 30 seconds.
We've released a new unit album...
on the 20th anniversary of god.
- What's the title? - It's "Game Over".
What? "Game is Over"?
"Game Over".
(Laughing)
So it's "Game is Over".
It's "Game Over".
"Game Over".
(I lost.)
Please sing it for us.
(Ready to be entertained)
(Right now)
(I want you)
(It might sound ridiculous, but listen)
(This is good.)
(They got back together as a unit group in 20 years.)
(The nation's beloved idol group promotes their new song.)
(She listens to the song while putting her hands together.)
(Ho Young...)
(and Tae Woo managed to promote their new song.)
Thank you.
I still can't believe this. It feels like a dream.
(Her wish is to do the dishes with Ho Young?)
Isn't it taking too long?
What are you talking about? Don't interrupt us.
(He's kicked out due to her love for Ho Young.)
