The magical Thursday night with top stars.
- Happy Together! - Happy Together!
(Happy Together)
I hope you all have been well for the past week.
Today, Yoon Hee is back after a week.
I couldn't be here last week.
Dong Gun came on the show in place of you last week.
- Yes, he did. - He did.
- However, Dong Gun said... - Yes?
- you bought him new clothes, - Yes.
and said he should be on the show since he received your gift.
Is it true?
First of all, it would've been wrong of him to not be on the show...
since he received the gift.
However, I knew that he was busy.
So I threw the bait without much expectation,
and he took the bait right away.
So he had no choice but to come on the show.
I think he wants to join the show as a host.
- Actually... - He did a great job here.
- Exactly. - He did well.
- When he came home, he said, - What did he say?
"King Yu Jae Seok said I'm good at hosting a variety show."
- In fact, he had experience. - He also said...
So I knew he would do well, but I was impressed.
- He also said... - He did great.
that he thinks Jae Seok will ask him to be his co-host...
on a variety show that will air next year.
He's been readjusting his schedule for next year.
- Is that true? - Yes, it's true.
- It's true. - Next year?
I don't even know what might happen next week.
Could he go around with Jae Seok hosting the quiz show?
- He's been preparing emotionally. - The quiz show?
- Yes. - He said, "He'll hire me."
- "I'll readjust my schedule." - You and Dong Gun could co-host...
- "You Quiz on the Block 3". - My goodness.
- In fact... - Are you interested in hiring him?
We all were surprised by Dong Gun...
- as he has a good sense of humor. - Indeed.
- He made timely jokes. - He was pretty funny.
His jokes were hilarious and timely. He was amazing.
He said Sae Ho was the worst.
He repeatedly said to me, "You're the worst."
- He kept saying it. - Why would you keep saying that?
- Anyway, I'd like to see him again. - Me too.
He didn't lose his touch. He's funny as ever.
- I love you, Dong Gun. - Great.
Today, we'll meet special guests as always.
Let's bring them out. Please come out.
- Come on out! - Come on!
(Please come out!)
This TV program.
- Oh, my. Hello. - Oh, my.
- Oh, my. - Chairwoman Jang, you're here.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hi, Jun Ho.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi, Danny. - Hello.
- Hello. - Today,
I don't even know what to expect...
- from our guests. - Exactly.
- The masters of music are here. - That's right.
Our guests today have...
- unexpected personal connections. - Is that so?
It's Yun Jung and Her Friends special.
Just as it says, Yun Jung came here with her friends.
Yun Jung is called Chairwoman Jang.
- Chairwoman Jang. - I'm just a singer.
You practically play the role of a chairwoman.
You might become the chairwoman of the singers' association.
Don't be ridiculous.
I hope she'll become one.
You can see why she's called Chairwoman Jang because they...
- gathered during Chuseok holidays. - Exactly.
- I'm sorry. - It was possible because of her.
However, some of them were glad to work during the holidays.
I'm one of them.
(She's free from holiday stress!)
- She said it by herself. - We'll introduce our guests now.
"Class is permanent." She's the indisputable queen of trot.
- That's hilarious. - She's an unrivaled singer...
who makes the whole country excited and cheerful.
- Jang Yun Jung! - Jang Yun Jung!
- All right! - She's here!
- Great. - Go, Chairwoman Jang!
He's known as a musical actor who specializes in...
- playing a role as a nobleman. - "Nobleman".
He's tall, handsome, and has a deep voice. The handsome actor,
- Son Jun Ho! - Son Jun Ho!
It's nice to meet you all.
She taught a lot of singers as their vocal trainer.
The charming singer with a raspy voice and amazing singing skills,
- Youngji! - Hello, everyone.
She's the first celebrity with the name Youngji.
- She's the first Youngji. - That's true.
He's an extraordinary rhythm and blues singer...
- with a soulful, sentimental voice. - Nice.
The textbook of rhythm and blues, Moon Myung Jin!
Moon Myung Jin!
- Moon Myung Jin! - Come on!
He has the vibe of a rapper, though.
- A rapper? - He looks like a rapper.
- That's right. - Indeed.
He's the genius who graduated from Berklee College of Music.
He's a globally famous jazz artist who is called a saxophone genius.
- Danny Jung! - Danny Jung!
Danny Jung!
As you can see, each of them...
- is in a different field of music. - Yes.
- Jun Ho is not even a singer. - Exactly.
To put it simply, it's hard to tell why they gathered here.
Exactly. Just as I said earlier,
- we can never gather them all. - It's impossible.
Yun Jung is the one who gathered all of them.
- That's an important point. - Right?
- It's an important point. - We can't do it.
Of course, you can't. They wouldn't be on the show.
- They would never be here. - That's true.
It's interesting.
We barely managed to have Yun Jung here today.
It took five months for her...
- to finally come on the show. - Oh, goodness.
Yun Jung has been as busy as she were 10 years ago...
- at the peak of her career. - Exactly.
My activities after I gave birth to my second child...
were all successful and received good reviews.
Now, I jokingly say...
that I feel like I'm as busy as I was 10 years ago.
You must be very busy performing gigs and holding concerts...
every weekend.
When I held a concert on Saturday,
I used to take a day off before or after the concert.
But now,
- I have no time to rest. - I can see that.
- What did you say? - Goodness, Do Kyung Wan.
What do you mean by that?
(Goodness, Do Kyung Wan.)
Excuse me. Are you saying that you're jealous?
No. It's just... Goodness, Kyung Wan.
What does that mean? Finish the sentence.
- What are you trying to say? - I bet everyone knows what I mean.
- What else could we have to say? - Goodness, Kyung Wan.
- He's your friend. - Hey, Kyung Wan.
- I think that was enough. - Right. That was enough.
- Only the married men are laughing. - That's right.
I heard that you didn't bring him here intentionally.
- Is that so? - That's what I've been told.
I got a chance to work on a national holiday.
Of course, I don't want to be with my husband.
(It's a good day today.)
- You see your husband... - Stop it.
- all the time. - Actually...
On the other hand...
Actually, I co-host a TV show...
- with my husband. - You two co-host a show.
There are times when I'm not so comfortable working with him.
Of course.
Have you ever had a fight with him before a shoot...
- That has never happened. - I see.
It's a rule between us. We should never fight...
- Never fight. - the day before a shoot.
So I avoid him the day before a shoot.
- You don't even see him? - You avoid him?
- That's wise of you. - We might fight if we meet.
That sounds quite extreme.
You don't even see him?
I try to be careful.
Yun Jung, is it true...
that there are three Do Kyung Wans at home?
- Is it true? - They all look alike.
- You must know as you have a child. - Yes.
- The power of genes... - It's incredible.
surprises me so much.
- Your daughter too? - It sure is surprising.
They all look alike.
Two of the Do Kyung Wans can walk.
And the last one can only crawl.
The three of them look so much alike...
- that someone said, - What did they say?
"Could Jang Yun Jung be the collector of Do Kyung Wan?"
- There are so many funny comments. - Exactly.
Watching the three of them playing together,
- I find them to be so cute. - I can see that.
The three of them are so lucky.
Anyway, when you go home...
I mean, their mother is Jang Yun Jung.
- Right? - My gosh.
- Are you even jealous of her kids? - It's not like that.
She refused to come on the show...
- with Do Kyung Wan, - Yes, I did.
but she strongly recommended our other guests.
She invited them onto the show by herself as well.
Could you please tell us about it, Yun Jung?
Well, I'm so worried.
The four of them are just looking at you...
as if they're asking, "Why did you make me come here?"
- They're like chicks. - Exactly.
Thankfully, whenever I go on a TV show,
the staff members of the show suggest...
I should bring some celebrities I'm close to.
It happens all the time.
Since I have such a chance, I hope the other guests...
could be more famous...
- through the show they appear on. - You want the best for them.
I wish them all success.
So I chose those who are like hidden masters,
rather than the stars who are working very busily right now.
But aren't they all busy?
They're not busy at all.
(You're wrong.)
They're not busy at all.
Really?
When I asked each of them...
if they had plans for today...
- Normally, people ask, "Why?" - Yes.
Or would ask, "What's up?"
- But every one of them said, - "Me, me, me."
"All right. I'm in."
- I said yes without any questions. - Everyone else said yes.
Myung Jin, weren't you busy either?
She didn't tell me about the show.
- What did she say? - I asked if he had plans.
- You didn't know you'd be here? - She invited me for tea,
but then I got a call from the writer.
(She fooled him.)
I asked Danny,
"Do you have any plans for that day?"
He said, "I'm excited."
- About what? - He meant he wanted to come here.
Danny, did you know she was inviting you onto this show?
- She sent me a text message. - I see.
I was so happy to receive a message from her.
So without thinking, I said,
- You said yes? - "I'll be there if you need me."
I was sitting next to Danny while getting the makeup done.
He said he was too nervous and too excited to fall asleep...
- last night. - It's the same for all of them.
He looks like he's going to fall off the chair.
Youngji, did you have difficulty sleeping too?
I said I couldn't be on the show.
- Why? - Because I was too nervous.
She asked me to cancel her appearance.
- She asked me to take care of it. - My goodness.
Myung Jin even said he had difficulty breathing.
- Really? - Yes.
Danny couldn't sleep at all.
They're all feeling sick right now. We're in trouble.
Jun Ho lost so much weight.
Why did you lose so much weight?
- He lost weight to look better. - Was it because of Happy Together?
I think I lost weight because of Happy Together.
(Aspiring Entertainer 3)
You look very sick today.
- They all look unwell. - He looks the most nervous.
Although Yun Jung hand-picked today's guests,
- but she was very worried. - What worried you?
- They rarely go on a variety show. - That's right.
- Jun Ho has some experience, - Yes, he does.
but all of them are used to performing music on stage,
- not talking on a talk show. - You're right.
- This is their first time. - I've never been on a variety show.
So, Yun Jung, did you have any particular reasons...
for bringing them here?
I hope they'll become busier through this show.
To the point that they say,
"I'm sorry, Yun Jung. I can't see you today because of work."
- I want them to make much money. - Money?
(To put it simply, I want them to make a lot of money.)
That's quite explicit.
- Help them make a lot of money. - Everyone.
Please help Danny make a lot of money.
- Money. - I'm serious.
- "Let's work hard." - Danny just said, "Money."
- Money, come on. - "Let's work hard."
- That was funny. - All right.
- Frankly, we were worried too, - That's right.
- but we trusted Yun Jung. - I see.
When Jun Ho came to my waiting room to say hi to me,
I had a feeling...
that he'll be the funniest guest.
There's a rumor...
that Jun Ho is banned from talking at home.
After talking all day long... My wife and I...
do a lot of things together.
We performed together in many plays,
appeared on TV shows together, and go to the same hair shop.
Since we spend a lot of time together,
and even when we're home,
I try to talk to her a lot,
she told me to keep my mouth shut at home.
- Keep his mouth shut? - She tells me that a lot.
- She tells me to rest at home. - I see.
But Jun Ho doesn't look like a chatty person.
- Exactly. - He is so chatty.
- I'm so chatty. - Are you?
- Yes, I am. - Shall we do some warm-ups?
- Okay. - Jun Ho...
- prepared a never-ending act. - You did?
- I'll show you... - This kind of act can be dangerous.
- Let's get it started. - Let's watch it.
All right. We'll see.
You don't need to worry...
because I can get all the air time only by doing this.
- No. That's not necessary. - I can do it for two hours.
That's not how it works. Don't do that.
Jun Ho, could you tell us...
- how you developed this talent? - Explain to us.
Why is it a never-ending act?
I'm going to sing.
- You'll see. - What is he going to do?
- I'm curious. - I'll begin.
(I'll show you how good I am as a rising star of variety shows.)
(His funny act will be revealed shortly.)
(Never-Ending Song, rearranged by Son Jun Ho)
He sings so well.
("Love and Memory" by god)
("Love Never Dies" by Seomoon Tak)
- What's the point? - It goes on and on.
(The infinite loop of Seomoon Tak and god's songs)
(It drives everyone nuts.)
(Here. I'll help you out.)
(Is this the smell of failure?)
Let's see how long he can go on. Let him keep singing.
- I think that's enough. - No. Let him keep singing.
(What an unusual scene to watch.)
Let him keep singing until he gets tired of it.
Chairwoman Jang's face...
turned a little red.
- I should use another foundation. - I saw...
Myung Jin looking at him as if he was saying, "What's that?"
You got caught.
I can see why you're banned from talking at home.
(He wasn't as funny as expected after all.)
I'm getting so thirsty.
Drink some water. That's good.
- Youngji is here with us as well. - You're moving on just like that?
- Thank you. Hello, everyone. - Right.
Please say hello to the viewers.
Hello. I'm Singer Youngji.
I've been a singer for 17 years.
Not as in lingzhi mushroom,
not Hur Young Ji of KARA,
and not Rapper Lee Young Ji.
I'm Singer Youngji. Thank you.
Just as I said earlier,
no celebrities had the same name as her when she made her debut.
- Some of her junior singers do. - She's the original Youngji.
She's the original Youngji.
I heard you were happy to record the show on a holiday. Why?
Since I've been a singer for 17 years,
I feel a little uncomfortable...
to meet my relatives.
- So... - I understand that.
- I try to avoid meeting them. - I know how it feels.
"Why didn't Youngji come this year?"
I usually tell my mom to say that I went overseas to film a music video.
Then the next year, my relatives would say,
"What happened to that music video you filmed last year?"
- Then I say, - Why would they ask that?
- "The company failed." - Just say it's on YouTube.
"The company failed."
"The company is gone. I had no choice."
Despite my efforts, I end up...
- hearing my uncles and aunts say, - They ask you questions.
"Hey, when will you appear on..."
- "that kind of TV show?" - Exactly.
However, when Yun Jung told me...
that the shoot would be during the holidays,
I was so happy.
I called all my relatives a week ago.
I told them that I wouldn't be able to see them on Chuseok...
because I would be on Happy Together.
"I need to lose some weight before the shoot,"
"so I can't be there."
- So... - "I need to lose some weight."
Now, all of my relatives know...
that I'm here for the show.
That's amazing.
I am so excited to be here today.
- Today is a happy day... - It's truly a holiday.
for many reasons.
It's nice to meet your family and relatives on holidays,
- but you need time alone sometimes. - Absolutely.
By the way, did you really meet Jae Seok a long time ago?
Did we meet?
- You met me before? - She said he feels like a cousin.
I used to live in the same neighborhood as Jae Seok.
- Is that right? - You lived in "S" Condo, right?
- Yes, I did. - Well...
You lived upstairs from my friend.
Was my downstairs neighbor your friend?
That's right.
One day, my friend...
told me that a comedian lived in the same building.
- You dressed up as a grasshopper. - That's right, I did.
One day, I came over to my friend's house,
- and saw you washing your car... - It was an Elantra.
That's right. You were washing your small car carefully.
- My friend said, "That's him." - Actually, it was a midsize car.
It was a midsize car.
- That day... - Hold on a second.
- I'd like to correct it. - It wasn't a small car.
It wasn't a small car. It was a midsize car.
- It wasn't a small car. - It was a bit smaller than midsize.
- It was my first car. - It was the first time...
I saw a celebrity in my neighborhood.
But I wasn't that famous back then.
It was still exciting...
- to see a celebrity. - Of course.
We told each other to go get his autograph.
But none of us would go.
In the end, I asked him for his autograph.
He was blushing so much.
Not many people asked for my autograph at the time.
You were practicing to sign nicely.
- You signed differently each time. - Exactly.
The autograph I gave her must be very different from my recent ones.
Exactly.
Do you still have it, by any chance?
- No, I lost it. - Oh, no.
I'm so upset.
I would've bought it back if she still has it.
Exactly. I would've earned at least 1,000 dollars.
1,000 dollars?
That's too expensive.
- It's a rare autograph. - Didn't he write any comments?
- He wrote, "Be happy." - That's right.
He was very cheerful. But his face was so red...
that I felt embarrassed. So I went back home quickly.
Judging by the way you speak,
you won't lose to Hur Young Ji anymore.
That's right. Great.
Today, Youngji's stories...
They were great.
- They were like the KTX. - That's right.
- You can take a break now. - They were fast.
- Very speedy. - You can take a break now.
There is another guest we are happy to see. It's Moon Myung Jin.
(Moon Myung Jin has come to Happy Together.)
- Is this your first variety show? - Yes.
- Right. - It's his first appearance.
Please introduce yourself.
I run a small Chinese restaurant in Itaewon.
(He runs a small Chinese restaurant in Itaewon.)
- That's right. - That's now what we want to hear.
Are You Lee Yeon Bok?
- Why would you talk about that? - Why would you suddenly...
talk about your restaurant?
- You should talk about... - We're...
- why you are here. - That's right.
This isn't "Baek Jong Won's Alley Restaurants".
I have been a singer for 19 years.
I haven't worked as a singer for such a long time...
that it would be more fitting to say I am a restaurant owner.
- Would it be more fitting? - Yes. I rarely sing.
- He is more used to that title. - I am out of work.
Why? Didn't your life change after "Immortal Songs"?
That's right.
- My life changed. - It did, right?
Back when I often performed on "Immortal Songs",
I was treated like G-DRAGON...
at the free sample section of a department store.
You were more popular than G-DRAGON.
How exactly were you treated like G-DRAGON?
I was G-DRAGON of the free sample section.
"G-DRAGON of the free sample section".
What does that mean?
- What does that mean? - Middle-aged women...
- continued to give me food. - I see.
(He got a free sample at every step.)
- "Try this." - You were that popular.
- Yes. - That's what you're called?
Myung Jin, it should be noted that...
you were acknowledged by the legendary pop singer,
- Michael Bolton. - That's right.
- I remember that. - He visited "Immortal Songs".
He took a liking to my performance.
- What did you sing? - "How Am I Supposed to Live..."
- "Without You". - You sang splendidly.
I was so grateful...
when he told the production crew that...
he wanted to talk just with me.
What did he say?
"If you want to remake..."
"this song,"
"I will direct you."
(He was willing to direct Myung Jin.)
He came to Korea...
a few days before the concert...
and directed me when I recorded the song.
He said that...
he has directed world-class singers...
- such as Usher and Rihanna. - I see.
"You have a talent..."
"and strong points..."
"they don't have."
"They aren't yours,"
"but gifts from above."
"You have the responsibility to show them..."
"to many people."
- That's the highest praise. - Seriously.
- That's the highest praise. - That's so cool.
You should treat Michael Bolton to a meal...
at your Chinese restaurant.
I would love to do that if he comes to Korea again.
What do you want to serve?
My restaurant is famous for its hot and sour fried chicken.
Hot and sour fried chicken?
It's not easy to make tasty hot and sour fried chicken.
- That sounds good. - It's a good restaurant.
Michael Bolton will eat hot and sour fried chicken.
Since he is so talented that Michael Bolton directed him,
- we have to listen to his song. - That's right.
I would like to sing with Danny.
Would you do that?
That's a good idea.
Which song will you sing with Danny?
When Danny and I met for the first time,
we performed "You Are So Beautiful".
Let's give them a round of applause.
All right.
(They are excited.)
("You Are So Beautiful" by Moon Myung Jin and Danny Jung)
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E50 Happy Together S4 "Yun Jung & Her Friends" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(The beautiful sound enters everyone's ears.)
(The performance reaches the climax.)
(Awed)
(The master of rhythm and blues makes an entrance.)
(The two of them present a lovely harmony.)
(It was a treat to our ears.)
The last part was amazing.
Yoon Hee was ecstatic.
- It was so nice. - Seriously.
- It was so nice. - It was our first time.
Let's give them a round of applause.
We have him on a variety show thanks to Yun Jung.
He is the Korean Kenny G, Danny Jung!
Danny Jung!
He is a saxophonist.
Hello, I am the soul maestro, Danny Jung.
This is the 20th year since my debut.
So I am grateful to be invited to this show...
- for the 20th year anniversary. - I had no idea.
That wasn't why we invited him to the show.
This is my first time on a variety show.
I want to use this opportunity...
to add to my amazing music journey and my life.
I want to be a better person through this show.
You talked better in the waiting room.
You are very nervous, right?
I am still very nervous.
He is too nervous.
Danny, you are a world-class artist...
we normally see at Seoul Arts Center.
I heard it was hard for you to get here.
That's not true. I am eternally grateful.
When there is a special holiday...
like Christmas,
I always have a tight schedule.
- Of course. - Thus, I can't make plans ahead.
I can't attend...
an event with my friends.
Today, I was lucky to have...
a day off.
I think it was meant to be.
(His visit to Happy Together was meant to be.)
The artist who performs at Seoul Arts Center...
is sitting at the end.
He has his hands together.
Seoul Arts Center has amazing waiting rooms.
Of course. It doesn't compare to this place.
- He practiced inside the studio. - That's right.
(The practice went well.)
Is your nickname Amazing Boy?
I heard you practiced a lot back in Berklee College of Music.
- Really? - I haven't heard that before.
- Really? - He hasn't heard that before.
You should have done your research!
I haven't said that before.
- You mispronounced "Amazing". - That's right.
- He couldn't even pronounce it. - "Amazing Boy".
Thank you for thinking so highly of me.
Was your nickname Amazing Boy?
Compared to other people,
I practiced...
You practiced a lot.
The word got out that I practiced hard...
even when the others weren't.
- That's amazing. - That must be why you have...
such incredible skills.
I only did it because I love music.
I had no other choice...
because I felt a sense of duty.
You even collaborated with Seo Taiji.
What?
Back then, I had just come back to Korea.
I knew nothing about Korean music...
because I grew up in the US.
However, I knew about Seo Taiji.
Most Americans know about Seo Taiji.
- Really? - Yes.
He frequently made an appearance on Asian channels.
His team contacted me.
They wanted me to collaborate with Seo Taiji...
for his comeback performance...
after five years.
There was a song that required a saxophone accompaniment,
so I got to take the stage.
Throughout preparations,
Seo Taiji treated me very warmly.
He said, "That sounds incredible."
I was so happy.
Compared to how he was in the waiting room,
he looked so different on the stage.
He is so charismatic.
For the comeback, he had...
- How do you call it? - Dreadlocks.
- Dreadlocks. He had red dreadlocks. - That's right.
It was "Ultramania".
It was "Ultramania". It was released in 2000.
He made a comeback that year.
The audience was...
incredibly big.
It was my first big performance.
I see.
I could see why people liked him so much.
Danny has incredible saxophone skills...
as well as showmanship.
- His performance is amazing. - That makes it more entertaining.
(He is the perfect artist.)
While music is mostly about hearing...
That's right.
It needs to be visually stimulating...
to keep the audience engaged.
That's why I play cheerfully...
with various poses.
Which poses did you practice?
This is what I do during a performance.
Let's say...
I have to stretch out a high note.
I turn around.
(He plays in a standard pose.)
(He is about to hit a high note.)
(He swings the saxophone as if he is hitting a home run.)
(Open up your ears for the high note.)
Yes!
(Bravo!)
It rose to the sky.
He moved the saxophone...
as he hit the high note.
You do it even though it's unnecessary.
- It's quite funny. - It was cool.
The pose adds another zero to my paycheck.
Does it add another zero to your paycheck?
- He is a good performer. - "Another zero".
You can speak Korean well. "The pose adds another zero."
- It's a well-used term. - I know.
(I will continue to use different poses.)
- It was cool. - It was cool.
We greeted the guests.
Yun Jung, I can't help but wonder how you recruited everyone.
What did you say to Youngji?
Youngji was in a slump...
for a while.
Singers work...
- by taking the stage. - That's right.
She had no stages to perform on.
I think that's the case for singers around our age.
Once you hit the age of 40,
it's hard...
to work actively as a singer.
- That's right. - Right.
In the past, I simply hoped for an opportunity...
- to take the stage. - I see.
Now, I go wherever and do what I can do.
Being on Happy Together allows me...
to talk about my comeback as a singer.
Yun Jung, I knew that you and Youngji were friends.
- But how do you know Myung Jin? - How do you know Myung Jin?
I jokingly talked about the need to make money earlier.
Without a stage, your financial situation can suffer.
Youngji had a hard time because of that.
She asked me, "What should I do to make money?"
I told her,
"Why don't you open an academy?"
"You are a good teacher."
"You could run an academy."
Then the topic of Myung Jin came up.
Myung Jin teaches a lot of lessons.
When I told her that she should do it,
- she said, "People won't know me." - Why not?
"Then use my name."
- Jang Yun Jung Academy. - Yes.
The three of us met...
to talk about this. Myung Jin,
Youngji, and I met. I was pregnant at the time.
- With her second child. - We met.
When I met Yun Jung for the first time,
I had read that she was pregnant with her second child.
I bought flowers for a woman for the first time in my life.
- He gave me flowers. - I did that when we met...
in order to congratulate her.
- She is younger than me. - Yes, I am.
But her energy...
doesn't suit mine.
(But her energy doesn't suit mine.)
Her energy doesn't suit yours.
- It's strange to see you with her. - Myung Jin isn't the energetic one.
They don't get along.
We sat at a table. I am sure she didn't know,
but I held my hands like this...
as I talked to her.
I was pregnant at the time.
Most maternity clothes are dresses, right?
I was wearing a dress that suited my long hair.
I looked incredibly feminine.
But he said I was like a tiger.
- After Yun Jung left, he said, - She has power.
"I feel like I talked to a tiger."
What about her reminded you of a tiger?
Why did you say that?
I felt that vibe. Even when I see her on TV,
I feel like I am losing my energy.
- Then... - Then you change the channel.
Yes.
Is there anyone like that among us?
(Yun Jung's aura is unrivaled.)
- Really? - Yun Jung is like that.
Had Yun Jung and I been close friends,
I would have turned down the offer...
- to come here. - Why?
(What?)
You came because you aren't that close to her.
Did I force you to come here?
- You know, - He has to run his restaurant.
had they been close, he would have said,
- "I don't want to visit the show." - "Yun Jung, I don't want to do it."
- Since they aren't close... - That would have been better...
for both the show and me.
(Is this the way of cohabitation?)
(The new kind of talk leaves everyone flustered.)
Why would you say that?
Myung Jin.
Whose energy is weaker than yours?
Who is it?
- He glanced over at Jun Ho. - Jun Ho.
(Myung Jin thinks Jun Ho is the weakest one.)
He glanced over at Jun Ho.
(Myung Jin thinks Jun Ho is the weakest one.)
- It's him. - Even his smile is weak.
We always support each other.
I briefly thought about why...
- Myung Jin is so funny. - Okay.
You don't have any ambitions to be on other shows, right?
That's right. This should be my last one.
That's why his stories are so funny.
- This is his last day. - He has no expectations.
To be honest, you don't even need to be on Happy Together.
No, I don't.
- You don't care about screen time. - It's not like...
- I have an album coming out. - There is nothing to promote.
- There is nothing to promote. - He has no ambition at all.
- Seriously. - Don't you have anything...
- to promote? - Besides your Chinese restaurant.
- My Chinese restaurant. - Anything but that.
- Anything but that. - Anything but the chicken dish.
Perhaps, a personal show.
Like I said before,
Myung Jin thinks this is the last time he will be on TV.
I feel bad recruiting him.
- Things might become awkward. - It seems like...
- he has no ambition. - Seriously.
If people think you are funny and send you invitations,
would you star in other shows?
It's up to my agency.
But the agency worries a lot about what I will say.
- They nearly gave up. - He doesn't want to star in shows.
- He doesn't want to star in shows. - No, he doesn't.
You should see...
if variety shows suit you.
It was hard to invite him to the show.
- This is an interesting group. - It really is interesting.
- Yun Jung, you recruited them. - Yes.
- You recruited Danny as well. - Yes.
But you had to look up Danny since you forgot his face.
- Really? - Yun Jung.
- What is that about? - Seriously.
- What is that about? - Danny Jung.
"Oh, I know him!"
- Think about it. - Only Youngji and Jun Ho are...
- your close friends. - Why did you call him over...
from Seoul Arts Center?
Like I said before, Danny sends me...
a greeting every holiday.
One time, he sent me photos of his children.
Sometimes, he says he wants to perform...
- with me. - That would be nice.
- That would be nice. - Had I been close to him,
I would have exchanged texts more freely.
However, we never became close friends.
We only exchanged texts. We didn't see each other in person.
- Didn't he have a profile photo? - That's why I forgot his face.
Wasn't there his face in his profile photo?
No, no.
I looked up his face on the internet whenever I forgot.
You feel grateful when someone sends you...
a greeting every holiday.
- That's right. - He kept the relationship going.
- That's right. - It means he thinks about me.
Danny seems to be very affectionate.
Saxophone and trot would create a lovely harmony.
- It would be cool. - I am curious.
Why don't you collaborate?
- It would be great. - I know.
It would be cool.
Yun Jung and Jun Ho became close through married couples' events.
- Yes. - I guess the couples get along.
Jun Ho, I bet you get along with Kyung Wan.
We are like best friends.
- Why do you get along? - They are talkative.
The thing is,
- Jun Ho and I are similar. - Yes.
Kyung Wan and So Hyun are similar.
- In what ways? - When Kyung Wan and So Hyun...
go shopping, they become excited.
They run around the place.
I only go shopping when I need something.
- I buy that item and come home. - That's how it should be.
The two of us sit on the chairs.
- Really? - The two of them run around.
- Really? - Yes.
- It's exhausting. - It's really exhausting.
The two of you seem like a married couple.
- The two of you are similar. - No, no.
- People who are different marry. - It's fascinating.
We drink by ourselves.
- Kyung Wan doesn't drink. - He likes to talk.
He likes to talk. What do you do when you meet up?
- Do you talk and eat together? - Yes.
Since our children are about the same age,
we talk a lot about them.
I don't know much about education.
- So Hyun gives me information. - She knows a lot.
Kyung Wan writes it down.
Kyung Wan listens intently.
We also talk about housekeeping. We share...
many things together.
Jun Ho, how did you become close to Kyung Wan?
There is a story.
A lot of people are under a certain misunderstanding.
Since we have older wives...
who debuted before we did,
they started their career before we did.
People think...
they make more money than us.
Why would you say people think that?
- What? - You are the one who said...
your wife makes three times more money than you do.
My goodness.
Three times more?
You are the one who said so on TV.
I guess he was embarrassed.
- Go ahead. - She makes more than I do.
Okay. It's possible.
That's right.
Yun Jung makes much more than Kyung Wan too.
Kyung Wan said she makes 100 times more money than he does.
- 100 times. - He downplayed it.
Don't say that.
Our wives make more money.
If we eat nice food,
wear nice clothes, and ride nice cars,
we did so with the money we diligently saved up.
- You bought those things. - We bought those things.
This happened at a campground.
Some camping equipment...
- are very expensive. - That's right.
Depending on the brand, the price could go...
- from 20 dollars... - There is a big difference.
- to 30 dollars... - That's right.
even if the functions are the same.
"Kyung Wan, it must have been hard to buy these."
"That's right. I worked hard to buy these."
"When I go camping, people think Yun Jung bought these."
- "It really upset me." - That's right.
His words touched me greatly.
"That's right, Kyung Wan. We worked hard to buy these."
"People think our wives pay for everything."
"I worked hard to buy these sneakers,"
"but people go, 'Did your older wife pay for them?'"
"Did your older wife pay for them?"
It drives me crazy.
"Did your older wife pay for them?"
That's one problem we have.
Even when we work hard, people think...
our wives pay for everything.
Talking about those matters brought us close.
People often say such things...
without knowing anything.
Kyung Wan recently lessened his workload.
As his friend, I know...
he did so for his children.
But some people say he lives easily because of Yun Jung.
- That's wrong. - I also heard that...
at first. When Joo An was born,
I wasn't on musicals for 2 or 3 years.
A lot of comments read,
"What does he do? He only spends So Hyun's money."
- Reading those comments... - My goodness.
It took a lot of courage to take some time off.
I sacrificed my career...
for my wife...
- and child. - That's right.
In a sense, it was a big sacrifice.
Also, it's incredibly difficult to do household chores...
- and take care of a child. - That's right.
That's right.
A lot of moms know that.
They know how hard it is...
- to sacrifice their career... - That's right.
to look after a child.
Talking about those problems...
brought us to be close.
How do you manage the income?
We manage separately.
So your wife keeps what she earns.
Yes. She does. I spend everything I earn.
You spend everything you earn.
- You spend as much as you want. - I spend as much as I want.
In May, I pay taxes.
After that, I give my wife the rest.
- You give her what's left. - I give her what's left.
So...
he saved up to buy the shoes he wants...
- and the outdoor camping pot. - Right.
He saved his own money to buy those.
But people blamed him for it, and it made him feel bad.
Right. Did you know about what your husband was going through?
He would tell me these things.
- He tells you these things? - Right.
Whenever...
Whenever he buys something for himself, he gets conscious.
"I saved up to buy this."
- He would say that. - Did he spend his own money?
- You didn't ask him. - I didn't even ask him.
- And he still says that. - But she encourages him.
- "Buy it. Buy the good one." - But...
now, my husband...
has gotten used to it.
"Whether I pay for it or not,"
"people think you pay for it. So please buy it for me."
(He asks her to buy it for him.)
- Really? - Yes.
- Great. - He changed the way of thinking.
- And it makes him happy. - I agree.
- He asks you to pay for it now. - Yes.
People think you pay for everything anyway,
so he wants you to pay for it.
- The thing... - Why would he...
- It's a new approach. - What did you buy him?
The thing he says most often these days is, "Buy me this."
- He likes to say that. - That's nice.
- Why would he spend and get blamed? - Right.
- "Just buy me this." - He's right.
Why does it matter whose money it is? We're married.
- Of course. - My goodness.
I should change my strategy too.
- Ask her to buy things for you. - What did you buy him recently?
It might make me look strange,
- so I am hesitant. - It's fine.
The camping gears are very expensive.
- So I... - You paid for all of those.
I told him to just buy a camper van.
- He bought a camper van? - No.
- I heard about it. - I told him to.
He was buying too many camping gears,
so I told him he should just buy a camper van.
- But he couldn't buy it. - He couldn't buy it.
- That's not it. - When I encouraged him,
- he couldn't do it. - Why?
- Is he looking into it? - A camper van is...
He and I were messaging each other.
He said, "Yun Jung sent me a photo of a camper van."
And it was a huge one.
- It was a huge one. - It's for a big family.
He said, "I can't buy this."
I told him to either buy that one or not get one at all.
I told him to buy a big one if he's going to buy one.
You're at a different level.
- My goodness. - It had to be the big one.
In technical terms, it's called the daunting method.
She daunted him with the biggest one,
and he thought, "I can't buy that."
- There was... - You aimed for that, didn't you?
- I did. - Right.
- She aimed for it. - I picked the biggest one.
"Don't buy it if you won't buy one of this size."
So Kyung Wan asks you to buy him things.
Do you manage the money then?
And does he have an allowance?
- No. We manage separately. - Right.
There are times when he needs cash.
He needs cash for hiring a driver and for valet parking.
- And for special occasions. - Right.
I always keep a good amount of cash for...
those occasions.
Then he uses them.
- You leave money in the house? - You leave money in the house?
Yes. There's a place only we know.
I keep enough for... I don't keep a huge amount of cash.
We use it whenever we need to.
We use cards too.
Was there not a time...
when too much of it was gone?
- "What?" - He doesn't spend it like that.
- Right. Right. - He doesn't do that.
He tells me before he spends the money.
What do you mean you blocked the credit card notification?
When he swipes a card,
- I get notified. - Right.
I don't like that.
So I got rid of it.
- He... - You still get the bill.
- What? - Once a month.
- I don't think she'd check it. - I rarely check it.
When I start knowing what he's up to,
I would be too stressed out.
A big star is different.
- She's great. - She's at a different level.
- You are different. - Honestly,
- Yun Jung, - A big star is different.
I can't sympathize.
That's not it. It's not that I'm not interested in money.
- Hey. - If I check the bill, he would...
- He'd get stressed out. - be conscious about swiping it.
- He's my husband after all. - Usually, the husband wants to...
stop the notification.
And the wife wants to be notified.
I gave him a card,
and one time he spent a big amount at a cafe.
I was really surprised, and I wondered...
how he could spend that much at a cafe.
So I called him.
- It turned out he treated... - He treated people.
all of his colleagues to coffee.
I don't like being alarmed by something that's nothing.
I thought it would be stressful for him to explain it to me.
I thought it wasn't right.
Nevertheless... You are close to Kyung Wan, Jun Ho.
Does he ever complain about her?
I think she's too nice to him.
She's too nice.
- What is there to complain about? - There's nothing to complain about.
He complains about me?
Are there things he wants from her?
- Does he feel bad about anything? - The only time he complained...
was when we were on a show.
That's the only time.
He said this on a show.
There is a beer fridge at home.
If there's no beer left.
There are different kinds in the fridge.
If one kind is gone,
he gets scolded.
That's his complaint.
- It's just to be funny on TV. - The beer fridge.
Yun Jung, do you yell at him if you run out...
- of the beer you like? - She likes stout and...
- I've seen it many times. - It's my only joy.
That's my only joy. After a performance, I go home...
and drink beer alone with pickled cucumber.
- Pickled cucumber? - And pickled shrimp.
- Right. - You need a stout.
- But it's not there. - When it's not there,
it takes a long time to make it cold.
And that makes me sad.
"How hard is it to stock it up?"
"You are bad at keeping the house."
She yells at him.
He sometimes would say that on TV just for fun.
When we go camping, put the kids to sleep,
and sit in front of a bonfire,
he never badmouths her.
He tells me why he fell for Yun Jung.
- He starts with that. - Really?
- Really? - Yes.
"I went to Yun Jung's concert."
"On the stage, she wasn't the girl who sleeps beside me every day."
"She wasn't my wife Jang Yun Jung."
"I saw her as the artist performing on stage."
(On stage, she's a top singer.)
"She was so charismatic and amazing."
"I fell for Yun Jung all over again."
- Really? - He said that.
That made me realize how much he loves her.
Honestly, I wanted to badmouth my wife a little.
You can't when he praises me.
He kept praising her.
- So you couldn't. - Hearing him,
I changed my mind.
He's a friend who gives me a good influence.
I realized that once again.
Yun Jung thinks Jun Ho turns into...
a manly man in front of his wife.
- Does he? - Yes.
- Really? On TV... - When he's with me...
You must all know. He's sweet,
- and he talks really nicely. - Right.
But when he's with his wife, he becomes the manly man.
"No, honey."
- Really? - Yes.
- He's patriarchal. - On TV, he talks about...
- being yelled at. - I know.
With his deep voice, he says,
- "Honey." - Really?
When he does that, she stops.
It's so fascinating.
"Stop it. Don't buy it."
He talks like that. Really.
- It's the tone of his voice. - His voice tone is...
- He sounds dignified. - He sounds powerful.
Does So Hyun drop the clothes?
(How does his wife react?)
"I need to buy this."
"Let's go."
- His voice changes. - His voice resonates.
- "Let's go." - When I do that,
the people at the shops usually have strong energy.
They try to sell things to you.
At first, I was gentle.
"Honey, it doesn't suit you."
When I said that, the shop clerk said,
- "Why? It suits her." - "You're missing out."
"It's really cheap right now."
"We used to sell this at a much higher price."
I always ended up losing when this happened.
I realized I had only one chance to win.
"Let's go. It's not the one." When I say that...
(Why is he so stern?)
- The clerk gets surprised. - Even the clerk gets surprised.
- Right. - It sounds powerful.
His voice is powerful.
(He protects his wallet with his musical actor voice.)
- He's definitely a musical actor. - Right.
- It puts an end. - Your voice is powerful.
I heard Kyung Wan is manly...
- when it comes to touching. - What is that about?
On TV, he's portrayed as...
a husband who loves and adores me so much.
He's afraid that everyone would only think of him that way.
When he goes outside, he says, "I'm not like that. She loves me."
He seems to want to prove it to people.
When we go shopping,
- He does that outside. - he puts his hands in the back.
(He shops with his hands in the back.)
He would put his hands in the back and walk.
I would just follow him without much interest.
Then he would keep turning back and look at me.
When I go and stand next to him,
he says this without moving his mouth.
"Hold my arm. Hold my arm."
- He asks me to hold his arm. - Really?
He could hold my arm,
but he wants me to hold his arm.
He wants people to see you holding his arm first.
He wants people to think, "Yun Jung is a girl too after all."
- "She loves her husband," - My gosh.
"so she holds his arm." He wants to show it to people.
- So he ventriloquizes. - "Hold my arm."
So I would hold his arm.
"Great." After a while,
he tells me to put my hand in his back pocket.
(He tells her to put her hand in his back pocket.)
- My goodness. - That's his personality.
- That's his personality. - He wants both of us to do that.
You've got a lot to deal with.
He's like a baby.
He asked me to put my hand in his back pocket.
So I did.
It was hard because he's too fat, but he insisted.
When I did so, he was so happy.
On the way home, he said,
"People must've seen that you like me. Right?"
- He's like a baby. - This is going on TV. Oh, dear.
- He is... - I didn't know about this.
He lives a very happy life,
- but sometimes... - He's cute.
Right.
According to Youngji,
even Son Hyun Joo becomes polite in front of you.
Really? Son Hyun Joo?
I saw this myself.
She's really close to Hyun Joo.
- Really? - They are close.
I got a karaoke machine in my studio.
It's in my studio. Whenever my friends...
drink and feel like singing, they come to my studio.
Hyun Joo, Yun Jung, and I were hanging out.
I think Kyung Wan was there too.
I had met Hyun Joo a couple of times by then.
When I said, "Hello."
he said, "Hello." When we get excited,
we feel like singing.
But we can't stop being conscious of Yun Jung.
She assigns the order, and you have to wait for your turn.
That's absurd.
- Why would you put it like that? - My goodness.
- That's not it. - How could you be so bossy?
We had to get equal chances.
When she grabs the mic, she won't let go of it.
(She was only trying to stop Youngji from holding onto the mic.)
Son Hyun Joo has to sing "Phoenix Tree Leaves".
But he just ends up only waiting for his turn.
She wouldn't stop singing. So I stop her from singing.
Then it's understandable.
It was Hyun Joo's turn, and he sang.
Nobody asked for an encore,
but he wanted to sing one more.
But he went like this.
"I will sing next time."
He's a huge fan of her.
When she holds a dinner show,
he sits with strangers...
in a round table and eats with them.
He comes alone.
- He goes alone. - He's a true fan.
He comes alone and watches the show.
He eats and chats with them.
- He's amazing. - He's a true fan.
He calls her "Ms. Yun Jung".
He could just call her "Please sing this, Yun Jung."
"Ms. Yun Jung, I cried..."
"while listening to that song. I really want to hear it in person."
He's a true fan.
- He talks very carefully. - He holds me in high regard.
And I am grateful.
Yun Jung must...
- really cherish Youngji. - Right.
I heard you always wear the clothes she gave you.
- Really? Do you? - Yes.
Which one?
10 years ago,
it was when I was a starving artist.
- She was... - I was really busy then.
living the busiest life.
I was invited to her birthday party.
I gathered everything I own, but I could only spare 30, 40 dollars.
I didn't know what gift to buy.
But I was invited.
The party was at 6pm,
but I was wandering until 8pm. I didn't know what to buy.
Other people must've been invited to it too.
At the Seoul Express Bus Terminal, there are clothing shops...
that sell T-shirts for 5, 10 dollars.
A 35-dollar piece is...
considered an expensive one there.
I bought a cardigan...
and used the rest of the money to wrap it nicely. I bought a wrapper.
I went to the party with it.
"My goodness. Thank you so much, Youngji."
We go to the same hair salon.
The hairdressers there...
told me Yun Jung was wearing that cardigan again.
I told them I was embarrassed about buying her that cardigan,
and they said she wore it to the salon just the day before.
She's got this side of her.
She would treat us for two rounds.
We would go for dinner and then drinks.
After drinking, I would...
treat her to noodles.
She could just take it for granted,
but she would do this.
"You bought this for me."
"And I am enjoying this very much."
She treats me like someone who is very precious.
Whenever I'm on the way to meet her, I feel lighthearted.
Even if I give her something small, she accepts it like it's big.
So meeting her makes me happy.
That's why I relied on her more.
Exactly 10 years passed,
- so I prepared her a gift. - What?
- Really. - It's a surprise gift.
- My goodness. - I want to express my gratitude.
- My goodness. - She's happy. What is it?
It's a branded one. Please cover the logo.
- It's true. - It's a branded one.
- It is. - It's that brand.
During the interview...
My goodness.
It's nicely wrapped too.
I spent on gift wrapping.
- Can I open it? - Yes.
- Open it. - What is it?
My goodness.
That's a designer brand.
- It is. - It's as luxury as it gets for me.
Autumn, winter outfits are out now.
That's why I am wearing a cardigan.
She never buys her own clothes.
- She always wears stage outfits. - No way.
My goodness. It's lovely.
- My goodness. - She even wrote a letter.
- It's a card. - There's a letter too?
- I love the color. - My goodness.
This is so different from the one you gave me that time.
(It's too different from the cheap cardigan Youngji once gave her.)
It's lovely.
This is cashmere.
My goodness.
It's cashmere, the jewel of fiber.
It must be very warm.
- You can wear it this winter. - It was like a cashmere ad.
Thanks to Youngji, I get to wear someone else's fur.
- Right. - I get to wear someone else's fur.
- There's a letter too. - A letter?
- There's a letter inside. - Why did you write a letter?
- She wrote a letter. - My goodness.
- It's my first time. - It's not a receipt?
My goodness.
Are you going to return it?
We never write a letter to each other.
- We aren't like girls. - I thought it was a receipt.
We are more like guys.
- That's really cute. - You stuck a foxtail on it?
Yes. It's autumn.
- My goodness. - I like those things.
It's my first time to see your handwriting, Youngji.
- Read it. - I don't know how I wrote it.
"Dear my one and only Star Jang."
"My dear sister. I've been serving you for..."
- What do you mean "serve"? - I've been serving you.
"It's been nearly 15 years."
"I gathered all my crumbled money to buy you a cardigan."
"Thank you for cherishing and wearing it for 10 years."
"I was always grateful to you for that."
"Thank you always for being understanding about everything."
"Your love is making me more complete and stronger."
"It's a new cardigan filled with my warm heart."
"You will cherish it again, right?"
"I love you."
(From Youngji)
- Youngji. - It's touching.
- That's heart-warming. - What's gotten into you?
She really likes her.
Did you prepare something too, Myung Jin?
(He gets flustered.)
- I am sorry. - Nothing for me?
- No. - "Nothing for me?"
I will buy you a hat. A cashmere hat.
- I will buy you a cashmere hat. - He looks cold.
I am so touched by it.
- He looks really cold. - It's nice.
- I am really touched, Youngji. - It's really nice.
I will wear it well.
Myung Jin seems to be the star of the stars.
V of BTS...
- approached you first. - Did he?
- He's your fan. - Yes.
I'm really sorry to say this, but I don't watch TV.
I don't know much about idol singers.
V approached me...
and said he was my big fan.
- And we exchanged numbers. - You exchanged numbers.
After that, he's been contacting me first.
He visited my studio.
We went for fried chicken...
and went to a cafe together.
One day, I called him without thinking much...
and said we should have a meal.
He said, "I think I won't have time this year."
- He's too busy. - He's too busy.
When I heard that, I thought, "Why did he change?"
- I felt hurt. I didn't know. - You didn't know.
Then they won awards on the Billboard Music Awards.
He won't be in Korea this year.
Usually, people say, "I won't be available this week."
But he said he won't be available this year.
Usually, people say, "I can't meet tomorrow."
- Right. - That's what usually happens.
Then I posted a photo of us on Instagram.
When I posted a photo of us in the past,
I got 100 to 200 likes.
Suddenly, I was getting 10,000 likes.
- You were surprised. - Yes. So...
All the likes were annoying me too much,
so I put my phone on silent mode.
- It kept ringing. - It kept ringing.
I kept getting notifications.
Later I realized...
you can turn off the notification.
Before, you didn't feel the need to turn off the notification.
Yes. After I learned that, it was fine.
You are nice to V,
but you once hurt K.Will.
How did you hurt him?
- What did you do? - When...
we were on "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook"...
I sometimes go to a karaoke.
A karaoke? With who?
(His karaoke mates are Wheesung and K.Will.)
(Whose song is the easiest to sing?)
(Hui Yeol gave him an evil whisper.)
He kept telling me to talk comfortably.
He kept luring me.
- Actually... - Don't fall for it.
When he tells you to talk comfortably, he means...
- You... - You shouldn't have fallen for it.
You shouldn't have fallen for it.
- I just talked comfortably. - What did you say?
- It means the song suits you. - It wasn't that.
K.Will and I...
are such good friends.
(K.Will's songs are the easiest.)
I should've stopped there.
But I thoughtlessly said,
"K.Will's songs are nothing."
- You meant it. - Why would you go that far?
K.Will's songs are nothing.
(Everyone laughs.)
- You were trying to be funny. - I was only joking.
But the journalists wrote articles titled,
"Moon Myung Jin Thinks K.Will's Songs Are Nothing."
No way.
It's a nice title.
It's a great title.
They wrote provocative titles.
K.Will was actually upset about this.
Tell him then. We were just joking awhile ago.
- It wasn't what you intended. - Right.
It wasn't my intention. It was manipulated...
- and fabricated. It's fake. - You were forced into it.
- Hui Yeol should... - K.Will's fans...
- come and apologize. - Yes.
Then why don't you tell us what you actually think of his songs?
What do you think of K.Will's songs?
- Hui Yeol should... - K.Will's fans...
- come and apologize. - Yes.
Then why don't you tell us what you actually think of his songs?
What do you think of K.Will's songs?
K.Will's songs are great.
(K.Will's songs are great.)
- K.Will's songs are great. - Great.
What about Wheesung's songs?
His songs are great too.
He said the same thing.
- They both have been... - For someone who's...
on TV for the last time,
you are very careful, aren't you?
Gosh.
Did you change your mind?
- Compared to the beginning... - You should speak your mind.
- I thought you had no tomorrow. - Over drinks,
K.Will told me dead seriously...
that he wanted to rip my mouth apart.
Hold on.
- It's begun again. - Once again...
You're picking up where you left off.
- K.Will and Myung Jin... - K.Will wishes...
- to rip Myung Jin's mouth apart. - His mouth.
He's not one to harbor grudges though.
- Right. - Also,
we've known each other for a long time,
and he's the first to call when things are good...
but even when I'm not doing well.
- He's a decent guy. - Right.
- He really is. - He's a good friend.
(We received two texts from Myung Jin after the show.)
(From Moon Myung Jin)
(Hyeong Su)
(Hyeong Su is K.Will's real name.)
(I'm sorry but can I ask for a favor since Hyeong Su wished me...)
(the most luck when I told him I'd be on the show?)
(I feel terrible that I never said this.)
(K.Will, thank you for your support. I love you.)
There used to be a show...
called "Yoon Do Hyun's Love Letter",
and I once sang a duet with Kim Bum Soo there.
The song was "I Believe I Can Fly",
and we got together to rehearse before recording the show.
Once filming started though,
Bum Soo pulled out a string of ad-libs.
I had never heard him sing those sequence of notes before.
He didn't sing it during rehearsals.
I knew that I couldn't let him win,
so I pulled out a string of non-rehearsed ad-libs too.
So it turned into a battle.
- A battle of ad-libs. - This sounds like fun.
In the end, it turned into a battle.
My gosh.
Your veins are popping.
(It's getting exciting.)
We're battling it out on stage.
It's the same as grabbing each other's necks.
It's the battle of the century.
(Singing high notes)
(They end the battle with perfect harmony.)
- It gave me goosebumps. - That was great.
- That was amazing. - Truth be told,
I'm embarrassed by this.
I really want this gone.
How was it in the waiting room after this performance?
- How was the mood afterward? - Afterward,
we both pretended that we were cool with it.
So you just complimented each other.
- "Good job." - "You were great."
They probably did high-fives.
If you're being honest though, you were uncomfortable.
"You're so good that your singing alone..."
"should make you enough money to buy a fancy apartment."
We both knew we were wrong though.
But Bum Soo started it.
He's the one who sang the ad-libs first.
How?
He never sang those notes during rehearsals,
but he intimidated me right off the bat.
He didn't even sing it during the final rehearsal.
- Even at the final rehearsal... - He sang a different version.
- I never heard that ad-lib. - What a surprise.
But that's quite upsetting.
I couldn't let him beat me.
- Of course not. - I was in my 20s too.
- So you did your best. - I'm sure that Bum Soo...
is sorry about what he did though.
(Bum Soo is probably sorry about what he did too.)
- I'm sure of it. - I bet that Bum Soo...
felt challenged in a way too.
Yes, probably.
Didn't you talk about this incident?
Even though I can't speak English,
I improvised in English.
What are the words you sang?
I belted out words that I knew.
Well, for instance, the original lyrics...
were "Yes, I am" but I said "Yes, I can."
"Yes, I can"?
Yes, I can!
(Oh, yes, I can)
I was completely in the zone.
Rhythm and blues is a genre...
that can't be performed without ad-libs or scats.
When musicians go off script,
it can be viewed as a jam,
but it's actually a way to catch someone by surprise.
(The man who has no tomorrow)
- You're trying to ruin the other. - It's either a jam...
or a way to ruin things for the other person.
He must've been really upset about this.
If it weren't for Myung Jin, we wouldn't have known about this.
- Exactly. - We only knew of it...
- as a striking performance. - Right.
Danny is actually a celebrity of celebrities.
Did you know that...
he gave Lee Byung Hun saxophone lessons?
As a wedding gift,
he wanted to prepare something sweet.
"Could it be possible to play..."
- "the saxophone like you?" - Like you.
He took a few classes and he practiced a lot.
At the reception after the ceremony,
he played the saxophone to "Love Theme"...
of "Cinema Paradiso".
I'm not kidding when I say that it only took him three months.
Even though he was a complete beginner?
It all comes down to who you learn from.
- Really? - He's...
- complimenting himself. - He's a good teacher.
Youngji, you're known as a mentor for celebrities too.
Right, thanks for saying so.
I'm the first singer signed by Cube Entertainment,
and when I was putting together my first album,
about 40 trainees joined the agency.
I was their senior.
There was AJ who you know as Lee Gi Kwang.
- Right, he debuted as AJ. - He was the first.
- Then came 4Minute. - 4Minute.
Then there were Soyou...
and Da Som of SISTAR.
Then I trained Son Na Eun of Apink.
I also trained a rapper too.
It's Jung Il Hoon of BTOB.
- BTOB. - Yes, Il Hoon, of course.
I'm still in contact with Soyou and HyunA.
On national holidays, Na Eun would contact me...
to ask how I've been doing.
If it's not too much to ask,
could we... Would you like a quick lesson?
Well, he's currently a recording artist.
- Right. - He released a song.
When he sings for ChoNam Zone,
we can all easily tell that he sings with...
a terrible habit.
Yes, I have a habit.
(Her client Sae Ho keeps singing like a goat.)
Let me sing the climax of "Where Are You Now".
Where... I can't look into her eyes.
I'm sorry. It's an occupational hazard.
- Then I'll... - I need to see the whole picture.
Let her hear you. This is for your second album.
Where are you now?
(He sings his heart out.)
- Is he drunk? - I miss you
(The staff murmurs.)
- The staff... - "Is Wheesung here?"
They're saying that you're singing it differently.
- It's not showing. - He's not bad.
- I mean... - I've been practicing a lot.
- Unbelievable. - Was that good?
- Sorry? - That was amazing.
- Your pitch is on point. - Really?
How do you fix the minor vibrato he does?
There's a fairy that punches his vocal cords.
- Actually, I used to... - A fairy?
- His vocal cords? - The vibrato he does...
is trending at the moment.
- It's trending? - Really?
- No way. - The minor vibrato?
You were judging me when you don't know what's trending!
Every time I sing, you criticized me.
- I mean... - I can't believe this.
Your habit is nowhere to be seen though.
This is what I used to do.
(He sings in his old way.)
Like that.
I just called you
(A goat crying)
- Was that on purpose? - Yes, but then I stopped doing it.
(He was aware of his bad habit.)
Then let's just try this.
Try and call that over there.
"Excuse me." Like this.
- Excuse me. - Good.
Now, call Danny.
- Excuse me! - See?
Now, call everyone in this studio.
Excuse me!
That's how you open up your voice.
Don't let your voice cave in.
(Open up your voice.)
- Like this. - Oh, right.
- I see. - Go ahead.
I am drunk
Yes, that's it.
(He instantly sounds better.)
That was great!
(Swimming)
Nice!
(Swimming)
That's great.
(The new butterfly method)
- That's it. - You sound amazing.
Must he do this when he sings though?
- Here's one more pointer. - What do you think?
- What just happened? - Here's what you do.
- It's a miracle. - Hold on a second.
Don't you think you're being too encouraging?
What are you trying to sell us?
- We won't buy it. - Just let him be.
Yes, like that. Open it up.
- I can see the difference. - Doesn't he sound way better?
(From questionable goat-like vocals...)
(to a swimmer doing the butterfly on a summer holiday)
That's good.
- You sound different. - Your habit's gone...
but there's nothing fun about it anymore.
I don't know what you expected,
- but I took this seriously. - It goes to show how Youngji...
can easily solve the issues.
Can you also help Hyun Moo too?
Can you solve Hyun Moo's problem too?
- It might be difficult. - I'll give it a shot.
Go ahead.
(Her client Hyun Moo sings in an annoying way.)
- In my case... - You pucker your lips.
- Like this. - I can tell the notes apart.
- Right. - I can follow the beat,
but I can't sing a variety of notes.
- Give it a try. - I have a small range.
Give it a try though. She'll help you transform.
- Sing "Some". - How about "I Miss You"?
- These days - "Some".
(Hyun Moo tried singing this song multiple times.)
("Some" is a classic sweet love song.)
You feel like mine, it seems you are
But you're not
- Exactly. - Why did you quiver?
What was that?
It helps me hit higher notes.
It's as if someone hooked him to a fishing rod.
That's what you sounded like.
- I can't hit the higher notes. - I know.
- That's not how you do it though. - Then how do you do it?
You tap into the emotions.
She feels like yours, but then again she isn't.
Try lifting the eyebrows when you say it.
(Lift the eyebrows.)
Good job. The next line too.
- It seems you are. - He looks pretentious.
No, we must carry on.
Just focus on my voice then.
I hear that he's hitting the notes though.
You feel like mine.
Okay, let's try that line again.
You feel like mine, it seems you are
- But you're not - That's good.
Her classes seem to leave them with weirder habits.
He spreads his arms while I look up and down.
- I do this while... - Let's hear him then.
- Let's hear him sing it in 1, 2. - This is weird.
- Later on... - Your singing...
hasn't improved that much, but you're left with weird habits.
- Then... - Must I keep doing this though?
Can you fix Jae Seok too?
- He can't sing either. - Do you know...
- what he thinks? - He thinks of him as a good singer.
Just so you know, I'm always baffled...
when he criticizes me...
on my singing.
He tells me things like how my body's too tensed.
(Her last client Jae Seok sings with a nasal sound.)
- He sings pretentiously. - Let me sing "Confession" then.
- "Confession"? - By Yim Jae Beom?
- "Confession". - Let me sing that.
(A classic favorite song by most men)
What should I do?
It's the worst.
(Laughing)
- Something came out of his mouth. - All right.
(He lets out spit instead of his manliness.)
- The lyrics... - Try singing the chorus.
(He sings the chorus instead.)
(He sings his heart out.)
(His excitement is evident in his hands.)
Oh, I get it. Your high notes are all right,
but your low notes are off-putting. We should work on that.
She finds your low notes off-putting.
- Well... - Must you have said that?
- His high notes... - Was that necessary to say?
You also move around your hands like I do.
Can you sing that first part again?
What's with the hand?
He can't sing if you tie his hands.
- What was that? - He can't.
We each display a weird habit when we sing.
You keep throwing jabs.
Hold onto the mic instead.
- Really? - What should I sing again?
(He sings again while holding something instead.)
What should I do?
What must I do?
(Vibrato)
Can I dare
(Appalled)
To
It's "love you."
(Nasal sounds)
Could you hold on to your nose?
- Your nose. - Can we bind his torso too?
It's like this.
There's a difference to nasal sounds.
(The correct way...)
(is to resonate sounds in the empty space of your nose.)
This doesn't result in off-putting nasal sounds.
(The wrong way is to sing while letting air out of your nose.)
(The sound changes when you hold your nose.)
So could you hold your nose for me?
- My nose? - Like this.
- Go ahead. - My nose?
- Hold on. - This is hard to watch.
From the side, he couldn't be uglier.
Then...
His features stick out more, right?
- I'd rather look away. - Your words are harsh, ma'am.
I was taken aback.
Can't you let me get on with this class?
- My gosh. I was truly startled. - Right.
(What should I do?)
That's the wrong way and he shouldn't do it.
- You shouldn't sing like this. - I shouldn't?
- Instead... - Do it the correct way.
We'll do it the correct way.
(He still sings with the wrong nasal sound.)
That's how you keep training yourself.
(Passion)
Look over there and sing towards them.
- He's worse than I am. - What should I do?
And go.
(Smacking)
Just like this, you tap yourself at certain points.
(His patience level is rising.)
- Like that... - Can I quit these lessons?
- I... - No, you should learn.
It's not like I want to be a recording artist.
- Why must I... - You should stick to it.
- I don't want to be a singer. - Just keep going.
She's smacking me!
- I'm curious though. - I don't want to be a singer.
So when we sing, Sae Ho does this, I do this,
while Jae Seok does this?
- It's all so that... - Look at the three of us.
We'll look weird if we sing this way.
We need to sing for the year-end special.
- Still... - Yes, for a good cause.
You should practice while keeping what I said in mind.
- All right. - You should.
Youngji's good at giving out singing lessons,
but she's also a matchmaker.
She actually brought Gummy and Cho Jung Seok together.
Really?
They sealed their love by themselves,
but I did introduce them.
For Gummy's 30th birthday,
she wanted to throw a big party.
We each invited people we knew,
and I called my friend Jung Seok over.
Nothing happened on that very day though...
and they dated sometime later without asking for my permission.
- They just started a relationship. - That's right.
After some time though,
when their romance finally went public,
Jung Seok called his friends...
and asked us...
if we could help Gummy through the added stress.
- That's so sweet. - Jung Seok...
didn't finish filming until late that night.
So from about 2pm...
to midnight, we kept Gummy company.
He came over after filming was over...
and thanked us all for keeping her company...
on a day that would've been too stressful.
"Thank you for protecting her."
- He showed tears. - My gosh!
That's so sweet of him.
I announced my marriage on my own though.
- What do you mean? - Kyung Wan...
was too scared to announce it.
(You do it. I'm terrified.)
He's such a baby.
I announced it alone which was quite lonely.
Anyway, Gummy shows tears often,
but I saw Jung Seok cry...
- for the first time that day. - They both cried.
Seeing how they were...
made me realize that they'd end up getting married.
- The tears were proof of love. - Of course.
How is Kyung Wan then?
Does he surprise you with events or gifts?
He pretends to have somewhere else to be...
but then shows up at my concert.
In the audience?
No, he comes by my dressing room with food and snacks.
It would be a surprise if he comes unannounced,
but he calls my manager and keeps asking...
where he should park his car.
I'm right next to my manager,
but he keeps asking, so of course I know.
So it's not a surprise.
I know beforehand that he's coming.
He should just come with her instead.
- Tell me about it! - Why come later on?
I then need to pretend like I didn't know.
So when he opens the door,
I fall off my seat and act surprised.
My gosh!
(She still knows how to look surprised.)
- My goodness! - You're so good at that.
I need to act surprised which then makes him proud.
"My goodness!"
- Her reaction... - That was great.
Tell them about his birthday party you threw.
- The one I threw. - How did you surprise him?
That was hilarious.
It was his birthday,
but I was busy all day.
I invited my friends...
and had them be in one place.
There's something he had wanted for a while,
so I bought it...
and we headed to the party venue together.
On the way there,
he complained about why we had to go there.
- That must've been upsetting. - Anyway,
I told him to park the car and I'd order for us first.
Normally, people catch on by then,
- but he kept on complaining. - Right.
He wanted me to go to the parking lot with him.
You should've yelled at him...
that you were planning his surprise party.
I still said that I'd go in first,
stop by the restroom, and order for us.
So I waited for him inside...
- and surprised him when he entered. - What did he say?
He loved it.
(It was a huge success.)
It was unbelievable.
- He was grinning up to hear. - Didn't he cry?
He didn't,
but he couldn't stop smiling.
He was grinning up to his forehead.
I found the birthday gift most adorable.
- Why? - Just think about it.
This is Jang Yun Jung and Do Kyung Wan, right?
She planned his surprise birthday party.
I imagined that the present...
would be an expensive watch.
- That's plausible. - Or car keys.
I also thought it could be a designer wallet.
- That's what I imagined. - Car keys?
The gift was something Kyung Wan really wanted,
and I can't forget the look on his face.
What was the gift?
It was an action camera.
- An action camera? - I still can't forget...
his expression from that day.
- He truly loved it. - It was something he wanted.
That's what gifts should be.
On my birthday,
when he buys stir-fried tripe,
- I'm... - Exactly.
- Nothing is better. - Of course not.
It sounds delicious.
- Do you love that dish? - It sounds delicious.
- Yes, I love it a lot. - Do you like it spicy?
Especially on a rainy day,
it's the perfect dish...
to enjoy after a good day's work.
I kept mentioning it from earlier in the day.
It was his day off, you see.
"Honey, I'm craving stir-fried tripe today."
He answered by saying we should eat it,
so I was happy to know we'd have it for dinner.
I contacted him right after I wrapped up my show.
"Honey, I'm done. I'll be home in an hour."
What do you think that means?
- Buy the stir-fried tripe. - Prepare the dish.
- Of course! - Right?
It was already late,
so the restaurant could close.
On my way home,
Kyung Wan sent me a posting of this restaurant.
It was one that served stir-fried tripe.
He sent me the address when I was five minutes out.
I read it carefully,
but it was the restaurant we were disappointed in...
and agreed to never revisit.
- My gosh. - That's the address he sent me.
- Why? - Did you have to pick up the order?
- No. - Were you meeting him there?
- No. - Then what was it?
I asked him if it was the restaurant I hated,
and he was shocked that I remembered.
- What? - What's going on?
It was the closest place from our house.
He wanted to go to the place...
since it was close by.
He didn't expect me to remember.
- He has changed. - I wasn't able...
to eat anything that day.
It's sad because he used to do...
practically everything for me.
He's quite naive though.
I can't believe he blurted out that you remembered the place.
"You remember the place?"
It's so adorable.
I'm not one to have good memory,
so he thought that I had forgotten about it.
- I'm not good with names. - But the food was so bad...
- that you remembered it clearly. - Right.
We both agreed...
never to eat from that place,
but he was going to buy their food.
(She's super upset.)
- It was so upsetting. - Of course, you'd be upset.
Of course.
I hear that Myung Jin is a master at surprises.
You even give gifts when breaking up.
- What's this about? - When breaking up?
Isn't that something you shouldn't do?
- She would've been shocked. - Even when breaking up?
The breakup is hard enough,
but she'll also be stunned.
- It must seal the deal. - Why must I talk about this?
That's what you do on talk shows.
It's not every day we get to see you.
The staff asked these certain questions,
so I answered them before I knew what was going on.
You should just keep going.
- That's how talk shows are like. - Well, since I'm here...
There was someone I had been on and off with...
for quite some time.
While we were dating, she constantly talked about...
getting work done on her eyes and nose.
(She didn't like her facial features.)
I told her that she looked beautiful...
and that plastic surgery wasn't necessary.
I kept telling her that.
When women experience a breakup,
they go through an emotional turmoil...
so they cut their hair and things like that.
I once introduced her to a plastic surgeon...
that I knew while we were dating,
and he called to tell me that she had booked an appointment.
I found out about three months later.
She had been wanting it even when we were dating,
but...
- I started to feel bad about it. - My goodness.
It suddenly became something I wanted to do for her.
Wait. What's going on?
Wasn't this after the breakup?
- Yes, so... - It was three months after.
I went to the clinic,
but I couldn't pay for it...
- without the patient's consent. - Oh, dear!
So I withdrew some cash.
Then I called her to see me.
I knew that she would not take my money at first,
but she would take it in the end.
- You know her well. - Right.
- I said, "I can pay this for you." - Goodness.
I felt really relieved...
after paying that for her.
- It took a load off your mind. - Right.
I asked my friends...
if I was doing too much.
I told them that I did it for her.
Everyone said, "You are crazy."
I told them, "Your life is insipid."
(Your life is insipid.)
- That's amazing. - This might sound weird...
because he paid for her plastic surgery as a gift.
But it was something she wanted...
- when she went out with him. - Right.
He paid for something she really wanted after he broke up.
You can think of it this way.
She shared her beautiful youth...
- with me, and I had to pay it back. - What?
(He just returned her pretty youth for his ex-girlfriend.)
- My goodness! - He's right.
That's who Myung Jin is.
- He is a romanticist. - He is our prince.
Those young days will never come back.
Oh, my goodness.
- Are you going to cry? - He's tearing up.
- I'm not crying. - You are not?
- You are tearing up. - Are you crazy?
(Angry)
"Are you crazy?"
I thought he wouldn't say something so harsh like that.
"Are you crazy?"
- He didn't mean it that way. - No, I certainly did not.
- But what he said was awesome. - He sounded sincere.
He thinks his ex-girlfriend shared her young and beautiful days.
I should be nice to my husband. He got married early.
(Enlightenment)
- Right. - We got married early.
He gained a lot of weight after he got married.
(He shared his young and handsome days as he got married early.)
Some of your audience made a deep bow to you?
I sing for all types of events whether it's Christian or Buddhist.
- I cover all types of religion. - It's the harmony of religions.
Once, I had to sing for this occasion at a temple.
There was the audience.
There was another building right across where I was.
People from that building kept making a bow to me.
- There were so many people. - Goodness.
They kept making a bow while I was singing.
It felt really uncomfortable.
I didn't think it was appropriate while I was singing.
So I said, "You all are making a bow."
"This makes me feel uncomfortable."
The monk said,
"It's not for you. Don't worry."
There was this statue right next to the pillar.
(Then she realized that there was this statue next to her.)
They were making a bow to the statue.
I thought it was meant for me.
- You were mistaken. - Right.
So many things happen when I sing at different events.
What is this hugging event...
that you did when you were singing?
It's not really an event.
I was singing "First Marriage".
Somebody was giving me a signal...
and was pointing at someone.
So I looked at the lady next to that person.
One lady was sobbing.
The song must have been really sad.
She was crying so hard.
I told her to come up to the stage and hugged her.
As I hugged her, I looked at the back.
Some ladies were...
waiting to hug me.
- You didn't plan to hug everybody. - It became a line.
They were all crying and waiting for me.
- So it was like a hugging event. - Right.
It was for a happy occasion.
But it all suddenly got sad.
The staff there had to clear the situation.
"First Marriage" is a sad song.
It's a very sad song.
It's a song about a lady who lost her husband.
So people who could relate would usually end up crying a lot.
I'm sure you had to sing the song many times.
- Can you sing "First Marriage"? - You have to cry while you sing.
- Please sing "First Marriage". - "First Marriage"?
- Sing "First Marriage" for us. - I'll sing the latest song.
- What is it? - "Train to Mokpo".
How about singing both songs?
(Please sing "Train to Mokpo" and "First Marriage".)
- Come on. - Sing it for us.
- Please sing "First Marriage". - I'll start with that.
- "First Marriage". - Let's get it.
- Yun Jung! - "Train to Mokpo".
- Please sing "Train to Mokpo" too. - All right.
("Train to Mokpo" by Jang Yun Jung)
My goodness.
(Jang Yun Jung's trot songs can cover an audience of all ages.)
This is her signature way of singing trot songs.
All right. That's all for...
Yun Jung and Her Friends.
How did everyone enjoy it?
I had a lot of fun.
It took me by surprise to talk about so much with these friends.
- We'll prepare more and come back. - All right.
- Call us again. - I got to be here...
with Chairwoman Jang.
I love how I got to make good memories with her here.
It's like I was hanging out here with my good friends.
I'm grateful to have such a nice time with my friends.
Thank you for the cardigan.
- Goodness, I love you. - You didn't have to get me that.
My goodness.
I saved up for it.
I was really nervous at first.
But then I got to relax after I sang the song.
I had a great time.
- Isn't he a charming guy? - He is so charming.
How about you, Danny Jung?
I am moved because I got to see...
different sides of everyone.
His saxophone performance was really great.
Let's give him another round of applause.
- You don't get to see it often. - I know.
I was really worried at first.
But everyone did so well.
You didn't even have to be worried.
I'm so proud of them.
They will get to have more jobs after this gets aired.
A lot of talk shows would want Myung Jin.
Right.
Everyone would want you, Myung Jin.
Will you take the offer or not?
I have to take it.
(I have to take it.)
(He chooses to be in variety shows.)
- We'll see you next week. - Okay.
- See you next week. - Thank you.
- Good job. - Good job.
