Oh, no. What should I do?
You left this behind. Don't go.
- That's so sudden. - I mean...
- He started acting all of a sudden. - I'm not acting. Someone left this.
Someone left this behind and just left.
- What is it? - You should have left it there.
Otherwise, you've stolen someone else's package.
That is how it appears.
What could it be?
There's something attached here.
- What is it? - I think the sender attached it.
- It says, "I love you so much." - If you look at that,
you can tell if it was meant for us or a different classroom.
- It starts "Dear Men on a Mission," - It must be from a child.
"Hello. We are Ji Min and Ji Yoon."
- Ji Min and Ji Yoon. - "We watch Men on a Mission..."
"every single day."
"My sister made dolls out of toilet paper rolls."
The toilet paper roll? The cardboard on the inside?
"We love you, Men on a Mission."
"Please stay healthy." That's what they wrote.
We're so grateful.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
- Look at this. What is it? - No matter what, that's Jang Hoon.
Yes, the biggest one is definitely Jang Hoon.
- It's the biggest one. - They made that from a toilet roll?
- It's definitely Jang Hoon. - The names are on the back.
They're made so well.
This is me, but they cut it in half.
(The Soo Geun doll is half the size of the Jang Hoon doll.)
They cut it in half.
They cut me in half. And here's the best fighter in the class.
Look at the colors.
(The doll shows the unique features of Ho Dong's uniform.)
This one must be Yeong Cheol.
That is Yeong Cheol.
- It says Mr. Kim Yeong Cheol. - And this one is Sang Min.
- The two of them have glasses. - And this one,
I think is Hee Chul.
This is from when I was blonde.
- The detail is amazing. - That's Hee Chul.
It says Uncle Kim Hee Chul.
And Kyung Hoon.
- Gosh. - It's good.
The most recognizable ones here...
are Jang Hoon, Ho Dong, and Soo Geun.
In gratitude for the lovely gifts they've sent us,
our former class study director, Soo Geun,
will take the names Ji Min and Ji Yoon...
and create a four-line acrostic poem out of them.
(4-line acrostic poem with their names)
- They would like that. - Can he do it though?
Here we go, with J.
Just now,
you've asked me to make an acrostic poem.
Is it your genetic heritage to make people do things suddenly?
- Next is Y. - Y!
- He started already? - Yes.
(That was so natural.)
Yoon and Min, this is for you.
- Next is J. - J.
Just for you, we will now prepare...
a great, entertaining present for you.
- Finally, we have M. - M.
Min Kyung Hoon,
it's dance time.
- That was great. - It's time for Kyung Hoon to dance.
- 1, 2, - 1, 2, 3, 4!
(Kyung Hoon displays his flashy ankle work again.)
Thanks, kids.
We're grateful for your present.
Kyung Hoon's footwork is great.
Now, all together, let's say,
- Ji Min, Ji Yoon, thank you. - We love you.
Who's being so loud right now?
Are you sure you've come to the right school?
Hello, friends.
- Are you sure? - Hello.
You're surprised that we look so young for our age, right?
We're all friends though, so feel free to relax.
(Gosh, they're so cute.)
Hello, we've come as transfer students from..
Children's Day High.
(Bending)
(Suddenly, a song comes on.)
- What is this? - What's happening?
(Thank you.)
She was embarrassed about it.
Oh, my gosh, Soo Geun, what's happening right now?
(We love this.)
(The air is perfumed with the scent of flowers.)
Lady, since you are setting out on a long journey,
please take this beverage with you, at least.
My name is Kim Tae Yeon.
- Welcome. - It's Tae Yeon.
- Nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
Tae Yeon, why did you only give a flower to Hee Chul?
I like Hee Chul and Yeong Cheol the best.
Then why didn't you give me a flower?
You like Hee Chul a little bit more, don't you?
(I can't admit that out loud.)
- You like me that much more? - She's so nice not to say.
I wanted to give one to Yeong Cheol as well,
but I only had one for Hee Chul.
- We see how it is. - She only had one.
- Thank you. - That's all right.
That's all right. Thank you for saying you like me.
As for me, I'm the dancing queen,
Na Haeun.
- Welcome. - It's Na Haeun.
Kyung Hoon, I'll show you what a real dancing queen looks like.
(I'll show you the real dance.)
She's going to dance to music.
She's challenging Kyung Hoon.
Give me the music, please.
("ON" by BTS)
(Her moves are efficient...)
(and have a unique groove.)
(She displays her swag.)
Let's go!
(Let's go, Haeun.)
(She replicates the BTS choreography exactly.)
It's the dancing queen, Haeun.
She looks exactly like the original dancers.
(She is the dancing queen.)
Dancing queen, Haeun!
(Applauding loudly)
- Na Haeun. - This was Haeun.
- Haeun was great. - Na Haeun.
- Haeun's got it. - She dances so well.
- Haeun. - Yes.
I'll introduce myself with a song.
- That was so sudden. - He's a very popular star.
Production crew, give me the music.
Cue!
Production crew, you've gotten your cue.
Let's go.
("This is Me, Hong Jam Eon" by Hong Jam Eon)
- What should we do with him? - Let's go.
I love this.
Oh, my gosh.
(He's getting emotionally prepared.)
I love you.
(Don't block my way)
(I've grasped it tight in both my fists)
(I'm a real man)
(I'm a man after all)
Even if life is tough.
(I am, I am,)
(a man with a dream)
(I am, after all,)
(Hong Jam Eon)
(This is me, Hong Jam Eon)
It's because he's Hong Jam Eon.
This is me.
(He has an outstanding stage presence and emotion.)
Go Jam Eon, go Jam Eon.
Who am I?
- You're Hong Jam Eon. - Hong Jam Eon.
You are Hong Jam Eon.
This is me,
the prodigy of trot music,
- Hong Jam Eon. - Hong Jam Eon.
I am Hong Jam Eon
(He's the trot prodigy, Hong Jam Eon, aged 10 years old.)
That was great, Jam Eon.
- Is that an original song of yours? - Yes.
Did you make it yourself?
The bandmaster of the KBS "National Singing Contest",
Mr. Shin Jae Dong, composed and wrote the song for me.
The title of the song is "This is me, Hong Jam Eon"?
Yes. "This is me, Hong Jam Eon".
In order to celebrate Children's Day,
today's episode is focused on child prodigies.
- Who is the final prodigy? - Yes, who is it?
Unlike the other kids,
I'm not a dance or song prodigy.
- Then what? - As for me,
I'm just...
Hong Hwa Cheol.
I'm not here because I can dance or sing.
I'm just here because of this.
- What's that? - This?
This? My mouth.
Your mouth?
My strength is that I'm a sixth-grader who can talk well.
Do you guys know...
- Lee Gyeong Gyu? - We do.
Of course, he was a transfer student here.
I left an impression on him earlier.
Gyeong Gyu, of all the TV hosts, what rank do you think you are?
(Hong Sung Heon's son Hwa Cheol asks an unexpected question.)
- That was totally unexpected. - That was new.
- How do you think I rank? - Me?
- Yes, in your opinion. - I think you're number one.
That's right.
This guy is so simple sometimes.
(This comedic prodigy can toy with Gyeong Gyu.)
Gyeong Gyu didn't even recognize Ho Dong as a peer.
Really? He never recognized Ho Dong?
He never has.
Did he say he recognizes you as a talent in entertainment?
- Yes. - Wow, he's the real thing.
So I'm better than Ho Dong.
Your seat will be mine soon.
(An unfounded statement that Ho Dong's seat will be his soon)
But who's in that photograph?
This is my father,
the former pro baseball player, Hong Sung Heon.
Wow.
He's a former pro baseball player, and that's my dream too.
- Because your father was a pro. - Yes.
I've played baseball since I was five years old.
Show us your form.
- Come out in front, there. - You're left-handed?
But your father is right-handed.
My father is right-handed,
but I learned from watching him on TV, which showed him in reverse.
- I see. - That's impressive.
His form looks legitimate.
- His form looks good. - Hwa Cheol.
He aims right down the middle.
He's the real thing.
(His swing looks exactly like his father's.)
But how old are you guys?
- Hwa Cheol? - I'm 13 years old.
What about you, Jam Eon?
- I'm 10. - 10 years old.
- Haeun? - I'm 12.
- 12 years old. - What about you, Tae Yeon?
I'm nine.
- She's 9. - 9 years old.
So Tae Yeon is the youngest, and Hwa Cheol the oldest.
Jam Eon looks like he's about to pose for his one-year-old photo.
Jam Eon looks so young.
He looks so young, it's like everyone around him is older.
Jam Eon looks like a young Ho Dong.
Jam Eon, from your perspective,
do you think you look like me?
A lot of people around me do say that...
What do they say, exactly?
They say, "You look like Ho Dong."
"You look like Ho Dong."
It's like a Ho Dong with double eyelids.
When people say you look like me,
does it make you feel good or bad?
I feel good about it,
resembling someone who's so funny as well as funny-looking.
(I look like a funny-looking guy.)
- The kids think he's funny-looking. - Ho Dong.
You are 9, 10, 12, and 13 years old.
Then, do you know how old we are?
- Yes. - I know your exact ages.
- How? - You know how old I am?
I know how old Ho Dong, Jang Hoon, and Soo Geun are.
- How? - How do you know that?
How old is Ho Dong?
- Ho Dong is... - Okay.
pork belly!
(Ho Dong is pork belly!)
(This is the word play of a 10-year-old boy.)
- He's flustered. - He's pork belly.
- I haven't heard that for a while. - No.
I'm pork neck!
- Jang Hoon and Soo Geun are... - Okay.
on "Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller".
- Good for you. - It's that show.
It's the first time having real kids for the Children's Day special.
Right. Does it mean we must invite parents on Parents' Day?
- Right. It's Children's Day. - By the way,
you all should be in school.
But the school is closed now. What do you do these days?
Since I can't go to school, I help with my parents' farm.
What do they farm? How do you help them?
We farm Siberian onions and omija.
- That's what they farm? - Omija?
- Siberian onions? - Jam Eon.
Where do you live?
I live in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province.
- You live in Gangwon Province? - You made a long trip.
There's an impressive singer from Pyeongchang.
What about you, Tae Yeon? What do you do?
I take the online classes until noon.
I go to an academy in the afternoon and have fun.
What kind of academy?
I go to a belly dance academy.
- Belly dance? - Belly dance?
- That's great. - Belly dance.
Pansori and belly dance go well together.
What are some concerns elementary school kids have these days?
I'm in sixth grade now,
I asked this to previous sixth graders.
They told me that we have to study a lot.
(The burden of a 6th-grader)
So...
- That's a sixth-grader's concern. - By the way, Hwa Cheol,
you said your dream is becoming a baseball player.
Yes, I have already decided that I'll become a baseball player.
- But... - But?
I'm determined to become a baseball player,
but after being on "Convenience Store Restaurant"...
with Lee Gyeong Gyu,
I'm thinking of becoming a celebrity too.
My mom told me to become a successful athlete first...
and then, become a successful celebrity next.
I want to be like Ho Dong and Jang Hoon.
- I want to be both. - But...
You want to be an athlete too?
- It will work out for you. - Why did you get up, Sang Min?
Haeun has 4.5 million subscribers on YouTube.
(She's a mega-hit YouTuber with a lot of subscribers.)
- My gosh. - I have 4.3 million subscribers.
- It's almost 4.5 million. - That's a standard error.
- The number fluctuates. - You'll get more subscribers.
- You'll reach that number today. - Okay.
Haeun, how did you start dancing?
When my mom was pregnant with my younger sibling...
and was feeling sad, she listened to many upbeat songs.
That's when I started dancing for my mom while watching TV.
- That's how I started. - For your mom?
(She was a talented dancer even when she was young.)
(Meowing)
How old were you then?
I was either 3 or 4.
- My gosh. That's when she started? - Or I was 4 or 5.
- She's born to be a dancer. - Yes.
Yes, she is. She can watch the dance and copy it.
Did you take dance classes?
To learn dancing more professionally,
I learned dancing from my teacher when I was 6 or 7.
Before that, you didn't learn it from other teachers?
I just danced by myself at home.
- Did you just watch the TV... - She danced alone.
and copy the dance? Did you dance to make your mom happy?
- That's amazing. - There's...
a talented dancer among us too.
Did you see Kyung Hoon dance?
I saw it on my way here.
I'm sorry, but you dance like a paper doll.
A paper doll.
So people like Kyung Hoon have to try hard to dance so that...
people like Haeun shine more.
- My gosh. - "People like Kyung Hoon".
When he dances, he thinks it through.
- He works hard, you know. - "People like Kyung Hoon".
Hwa Cheol, you're mistaken. It's a different genre of dance.
I do a street dance.
The movements are free.
- But Haeun learned dancing. - It's pop dance.
I found out for the first time about street dance today.
His dance is very artistic.
- I express what I feel. - As for his street dance,
there's a certain street only Kyung Hoon knows.
Haeun danced when she was little.
Tae Yeon, when did you start singing Korean traditional music?
My mom listened to pansori when she was pregnant with me.
After I was born, I went to a pansori academy with my mom.
When I listened to pansori, it was fun.
I thought this would be fun and that I could do it.
So that's how I started to sing pansori at the age of six.
She sounded like she was storytelling.
- Right. - "I can do it."
- Prenatal education is effective. - She drew my attention.
So your mother isn't a Korean traditional musician?
- No. - Here's a thing about her voice.
When distinguished Korean traditional musicians...
have interviews,
- they all sound like Tae Yeon. - Right. There's something.
People tell me that I have a husky voice.
But I don't think I have a husky voice.
- She's from Jeolla Province. - Your voice sounds a bit husky.
Your voice can move people's hearts.
It's resonating.
You're a Korean traditional music prodigy.
What's the charm of Korean traditional music?
It's lilting the notes.
- Lilting. - Yes.
Jam Eon and I were on "Immortal Songs".
- Really? - And he sang "Ja Ok" on the show.
- This is how he sings. - Park Sang Cheol's song.
(Impressed)
But I lilt my notes.
This is how I sing. Ja Ok
- Can you sing it too, Jam Eon? - I'm sorry.
But is Jam Eon older than you, Tae Yeon?
Yes.
(Looking like a manly older guy)
Jam Eon, if you're older than Tae Yeon,
shouldn't you take care of her? Like buy her drinks and meals?
- He doesn't do that. - Shouldn't you buy her bread?
I don't have time for that.
- He's not the type... - Not in this day and age.
to do that for me.
- Here's a thing about him. - Okay.
So on the show, we were competing against each other.
I wished him good luck.
He was indifferent.
He was indifferent. "Okay."
- This is what he did. - A cold city boy.
- "All right." - I almost cried.
You were upset.
Now, I'm going to be indifferent toward him too.
- A cold boy from Pyeongchang. - A cold boy from Pyeongchang.
- Here's what I think. - A cold boy from Pyeongchang.
I think he did that because he wanted to make a good impression.
- A cold boy from Pyeongchang. - That must be it.
(Come on!)
- Hey. - What's wrong?
- What's wrong? - I'm sorry.
Jam Eon, why did you do that?
Did he expose your feelings?
No, it's not that. It's a lie. He's lying.
- Okay. We didn't say anything. - I never did that.
- Okay. Don't get mad. - It's all right.
So how do you sing "Ja Ok"?
Can you sing the chorus?
Ja Ok
- What about you, Tae Yeon? - Traditional music version.
Ja Ok
Tae Yeon starts lilting the notes starting at "Ok".
And Jam Eon sings with vibrato at the end.
Hwa Cheol, how would you sing the song?
- Start. - Ja Ok
- He's just a normal 6th-grader. - It's special for 6th-graders.
- He's just a normal sixth-grader. - I'm a normal kid.
He's a sixth-grader. He's normal.
He came here on behalf of all the sixth-graders in Korea.
Did he come here to represent them?
- Representative of 6th-graders. - He's a 6th-grader.
- Representative of 6th-graders. - You're pretty good.
He's making me cry.
- He's making you cry? - Really?
Jam Eon, Tae Yeon said she almost cried.
You should send her some Siberian onions.
- What? - Send her some omija.
Jam Eon, if you send Tae Yeon Siberian onions and omija,
- her singing will improve. - That's right.
Then, will you send them to her or not?
What if it will improve her singing?
I should send them to her then.
I knew it.
(Nice.)
A warmhearted boy from Pyeongchang.
Earlier, you said I was cold.
Tae Yeon, can you sing one more?
- Yes, sing one more song. - Sure.
I'll sing a Korean traditional music version of "Fire" by BTS.
But you can't laugh, okay?
- We won't laugh. - We won't. Why would we?
Wait, will it be funny?
- Yes, it's funny. Okay? - Okay.
Shouldn't we laugh on variety shows if something is funny?
No, but still. I'm embarrassed though.
- I'm shy. - Okay.
- Okay. We won't laugh. - Okay?
Jam Eon, you can't laugh, okay?
Okay.
A warmhearted boy from Pyeongchang.
(Holding in his laughter)
(It's burning up, fire)
(Holding in his laughter)
(Fire, let's burn everything up)
(Laughing silently)
(Burn it up)
Hold on. When there's a fire, call 911.
(That's cute!)
- That was great. - I held my nose because...
I had to hold in my laughter.
You did? Jam Eon.
You said that you can change songs into trot songs.
Yes. I'll sing a children's song as a trot song.
- That's great. - Okay.
- It's "Airplane". - Okay.
(The airplane is flying)
(Fly, fly)
(A true reaction)
(My airplane)
- My goodness. You're a prodigy! - Encore.
- Encore. Yes. - Do you want me to sing one more?
This time, it's "Baby Car".
"Baby Car".
I changed "Baby Shark" into "Baby Car".
- My gosh. Why? - Okay. How?
(Baby car, vroom)
(Baby car, vroom, honk, honk)
(Deepening his voice)
(Daddy Car, vroom, honk honk)
(Granny Car, vroom, honk honk)
(My goodness)
(Granny Car, vroom, honk honk)
Why is he changing his voice?
Pastor Car, vroom
- A pastor? - Vroom
(Pastor Car shows up.)
(Vroom)
- Honk - All of a sudden, there's a pastor.
- A pastor? - Monk Car, vroom
(Bringing together all the religions in one song)
(Jam Eom is the best!)
That was hilarious. Seriously.
- Jam Eon, are you hot? - Aren't you sweating?
- Aren't you hot? - Yes.
- Can you wipe my sweat too? - No way.
- Why? - His face is too big up-close.
(His face is too big up-close.)
(Trembling with fear)
Is it that big?
(Shooting her a heart)
(You scare me.)
She's scared. She's actually scared, isn't she?
- I'm scared. - She's scared.
Is his face too big?
- Did you not expect it? - She's actually terrified.
It's because it's Tae Yeon's first time to see me.
Haeun has seen me before.
On "Star King".
(Four-year-old Haeun...)
(met Ho Dong on "Star King".)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(You are four,)
(and I am 44.)
(Can you believe how big his head is compared to hers?)
No.
(Ho Dong's cute actions and huge face didn't affect her.)
(Looking adorable,)
(Haeun dominated the stage.)
I wanted to meet Ho Dong on "Star King".
But I...
- Was I born then? - Take it off.
- Tae Yeon had to be... - 2012. I was born...
Look at Jam Eon.
Jam Eon.
(He looks more charismatic now.)
What year did "Star King" first air?
In 2007?
- 2006 or 2007. - That's why I didn't get to go.
- Why? - I was born in 20... What was it?
- 2012. - Right. I was born in 2012.
I see.
You don't even know what year you were born.
- I had to tell you. - No. I said I was born in 20...
2012. 12.
- All right. - 2012.
He looks like Ho Dong when he does that.
When he yells.
He's YPM.
Yelling Pyeongchang Man.
(Yelling Pyeongchang Man)
- Jam Eon is amazing. - Jam Eon.
Can you not stand it when you hear something illogical?
- What? - He doesn't know "illogical".
- He doesn't know. - Wrong story.
I guess it's like that.
It makes me want to correct the person.
Nice.
Jam Eon, your eyes exude charisma. Were you born with it?
- Or did you practice it? - Yelling Pyeongchang Man.
I'm born like this.
(He was born like this.)
Don't people tell you that you have unusually strong eyes?
Even when I am wearing a mask and a hat,
some people say, "Those are Jam Eon's eyes."
They recognize me.
- Just by looking at your eyes. - Yes.
Jam Eon, can you show us how you walk?
Put your jacket over your shoulder.
- Put it over your shoulder. - Please walk to this point.
- Up to here, Jam Eon. - Hey.
(Putting the jacket over his shoulder)
(I am Hong Jam Eon.)
- Hello, sir. - Hello, sir.
I prepared Yakult for you, sir.
Hello.
- You... - He's the boss.
You sweat a lot, sir.
Do you feel hot?
- I'm all right. - "I'm all right."
"I'm all right."
- "I'm all right." - You're here, sir.
I'll take your jacket.
He's Boss Baby.
Tae Yeon, I heard you don't just sing well. You have another talent.
I can play gayageum.
- You can play gayageum. - You're a real prodigy.
- Do you want to see it? - Yes. Let's give it up for her.
- Is it real gayageum? - Tell us about the song first.
It's called "Spring in My Hometown".
- "Spring in My Hometown". - I'll play it.
(The beautiful gayageum sound gently spreads across the room.)
(The apricot tree in the back hill)
(Every branch is filled with spring energy)
(Flower blooms and cuckoo cries)
(It will be a good year for the barley field)
(She's amazing.)
Sang-sa-di-yo
(Eol-rol-rol-rol-rol)
(Sang-sa-di-yo)
Eol-rol-rol-rol-rol sang-sa-di-yo
(Bravo!)
(Pretending to speak Chinese)
(He shoots the gayageum blast.)
(Flying)
(Take this, Prodigies.)
(That was hilarious.)
(Laughing)
- Is that from "Kung Fu Hustle"? - Yes. It's from "Kung Fu Hustle".
You watched "Kung Fu Hustle"?
- I watched it. - He's amazing.
Jam Eon?
How did you get into trot, Jam Eon?
When I was four... My grandparents always...
watched "National Singing Contest".
A lot of people there sing trot songs, you know.
So I ended up liking trot.
(He went on his favorite show at the age of 7.)
(I'll Save You in My Heart. Super Rookie Hong Jam Eon)
(The way he sang and performed made it hard to believe he's 7.)
(He won the grand prize on "National Singing Contest".)
(He's incredible.)
Karaoke
(He sings better than Park Sang Cheol.)
What do you think makes you charming when you sing?
- First of all, I sing loudly. - The tone of your voice.
And I'm good at singing with "phlegm-spitting" voice.
(He's good at singing with "phlegm-spitting" voice.)
- What is phlegm-spitting voice? - Show us.
(To the man of harbor)
(Sea is)
(The hometown)
Is that what you call "the phlegm" voice?
(The trot prodigy's phlegm-spitting voice is very addicting.)
- You have to scratch your voice. - Did someone teach you to do that?
Or did you practice it alone by watching TV?
I watched the original singer's video over and over.
Jam Eon, don't call it "phlegm-spitting" voice.
Call it the "scratching" voice.
"Phlegm-spitting" voice sounds strange.
What's wrong with that?
(What's wrong with that?)
I think it's all right.
- What's wrong with it? - It's perfect.
What's wrong with it?
It is actually called the phlegm-spitting voice.
What's wrong with the phlegm-spitting voice?
By the way, Jam Eon, Yeong Cheol released a trot album too.
- Have you seen it? - I've seen it.
What do you think of Yeong Cheol as a trot singer?
Be honest.
I think he's qualified to sing trot.
- He's qualified? - I thought he'd say I wasn't.
Singing with a nasal voice...
is one of the trot singing methods.
- Do you think I sing quite well? - Yes.
I want to watch you sing "Ring Ring" in person.
- You want to see it? - I want to see it too.
- Can you sing "Ring Ring", Jam Eon? - Yes.
Then why don't you sing it with Yeong Cheol?
(He should sing "Ring Ring" with Yeong Cheol.)
They love it.
Come on.
(She's excited.)
(The trot prodigy and the trot dance machine will collaborate.)
Look at their height difference.
I think he will be cute.
1, 2, 3, 4.
(Ring ring)
(I'm your honey)
- It's very high-pitched. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
(Ring ring)
(I'm your honey)
His voice is high-pitched.
(I'm your honey)
What are you doing?
(Are they competing who can sing higher?)
(Singing loudly)
- Suddenly... - I'm your honey
(I can't lose to him.)
(He sings as high as he can.)
(I'm your honey)
Jam Eon wins.
- Suddenly... - Suddenly...
- Suddenly... - What happened?
It all started after you said he's got a high-pitched voice.
That's why he sang even higher.
- Jam Eon. - Isn't he amazing?
- He's... - He's competitive.
By the way, Haeun, the other ones...
showcased their talents.
We know you can dance to the latest songs.
Is there any old dance you can do?
I once danced to Kim Wan Sun's song.
Which of Wan Sun's songs can you dance to?
- "Dancing to Rhythm". - "Dancing to Rhythm".
(Dancing to rhythm)
Wan Sun taught me herself.
Show us the rabbit dance.
Can you dance to the part you know?
- Please play the chorus. - The chorus.
("Dancing to Rhythm" by Kim Wan Sun)
She dances just like her.
Here we go. Here we go.
The chorus.
(Her moves are detailed, and her wave is restrained.)
Dancing to rhythm
(She's amazing.)
(She dances just like Wan Sun.)
(Dancing to rhythm)
(That was a perfect cover.)
Haeun.
You are really amazing. Can you do that too?
The hip hop dance.
- The one that goes like this. - What MINO does.
- Oh, my gosh. - Like this.
- I can do it. - Show us.
- What about Zico's "Any Song"? - "Any Song".
- I will give it a try. - It's the latest dance.
(Any song)
("Any Song" by ZICO)
(Dance prodigy's "Any Song" challenge)
(She didn't prepare for it, but she's still good.)
Look at her moves.
- She's good. - She's good.
(They're excited.)
(Play any song)
(I can dance to any song.)
That's the perfect example.
(This is how you dance.)
(The dance prodigy can do the old and the new dances.)
(She's incredible.)
It looks amazing even when she just stretches her arm.
Every move she does is incredible.
Thank you.
You were supposed to advance to the next grade level,
but you didn't get to because your school didn't start.
- Right. - You didn't get to enroll.
You might not be able to enroll here either.
Oh, my gosh.
You might end up going home in the middle of the shoot.
You have to work hard. You've come a long way.
- That's not true. - Of course.
(He's very quick.)
Men on a Mission enrollment form.
Name. Hong Hwa Cheol.
- All right. - All right.
Na Haeun.
Hong Jam Eon.
- Kim Tae Yeon. - Kim Tae Yeon.
It's Tae Yeon.
All right. Haeun's nickname is...
It's so cute. It's Napunzel.
- It's because her hair's long. - Napunzel.
I always have the longest hair in my class.
It's not Rapunzel. It's Napunzel.
- Napunzel. - Napunzel.
Sometimes kids call me NHE.
- Na Haeun. - NHE.
- NH. - NHE. NH.
NH. This is Nonghyup.
NH is Nonghyup.
Savings Bank.
You know your banks, don't you?
Jam Eon's nickname is...
Grapefruit.
- Grapefruit? - Grapefruit.
- I heard about this. - Jam Eon's nickname is Grapefruit.
It's because my name is Jam Eon.
- Jam Eon. - It sounds like grapefruit.
- Jam Eon. - He's like a cartoon character.
He looks like he's straight out of a cartoon.
- He's Boss Baby. - Right.
It's time to check who they want to sit with.
Time to choose a seatmate.
(They are very excited.)
Look at Tae Yeon.
Scream!
What was that?
Everybody scream!
- Once is enough. - They didn't understand it.
- Scream. - Once is enough, Ho Dong.
Once is enough.
Hwa Cheol wants to sit next to me.
(Hwa Cheol wants Soo Geun to be his seatmate.)
Haeun wants to sit next to...
Ho Dong.
(Ho Dong)
She put a star.
- Here's what she wrote. - What did she write?
"He's not a comedian, but he's funny. That's why I like him."
- Isn't he a comedian? - I made her laugh a lot.
- Comedian... - If he's not a comedian,
then what is he?
At first, I thought he was a comedian.
- But I learned it recently. - What did you learn?
That I used to be a ssireum wrestler.
I've always known it.
Jam Eon wants to sit next to...
Ho Dong.
(Kang Ho Dong)
Ho Dong got two votes.
- Why him? - Why me?
Because he looks like me.
(It's because they look alike.)
Tae Yeon wants to sit next to...
- Hee Chul and Yeong Cheol. - Yeong Cheol.
I was really surprised when I read her reason.
- What's the reason? - She chose Hee Chul...
because he's loud.
She chose Yeong Cheol because he's handsome.
- No. - Wait.
It's clear that she got us mixed up.
Hee Chul is loud, so I thought...
we would get along well.
If you had to choose one person, who would you choose?
I can't say.
Is it that serious?
I am sorry, but you should sit with Hee Chul.
She got hurt.
Why would you hurt her feeling?
It's just that it's my first time to experience this.
Is there someone you don't want to sit next to?
I hate someone who's quiet.
Who's quiet?
- Min... - Min Kyung Hoon.
- You are... - Hey,
I don't like loud people.
(He's just joking.)
Let's go over their strengths. The four prodigies' strengths.
Hwa Cheol wrote his weakness.
His weakness is being too honest.
- Isn't that a strength? - Is that a weakness?
Being honest is a strength.
I am too honest...
that I sometimes upset my mom.
- Really? - Why?
Show us.
(Hwa Cheol's questionnaire is revealed.)
What? When he's at home, he's on a computer.
He checked everything except for "I study".
You checked everything except for "I study".
Isn't that a lie?
Why did you check, "I read"?
I always read before going to bed. It puts me to sleep.
- It induces sleep. - It's the best sleep inducer.
"Check all the meals you eat these days."
Breakfast checked. Lunch, dinner,
snack, and night snack all checked.
This is like Ho Dong's questionnaire.
Ho Dong eats "other" too.
But you get fat if you eat like that.
It will just make you get tall.
(Don't worry.)
He's right. He's right.
It will make you tall.
Is that why you're trying to gain weight?
- Yes. - Are you trying to gain weight?
- I lost a bit of weight recently. - You shouldn't lose weight.
But that's not enough to make your mom upset.
You will see now.
(There's more.)
(I'm sorry, but I don't have a tutor. I don't study at all.)
"I don't study at all."
(15. Do you have a tutor? How many hours a week do you study?)
- He's so honest. - "I'm sorry".
He wrote "I'm sorry" too.
"What do you want from your homeroom teacher?"
"Please don't contact my parents. I beg you."
Who would beg his teacher like that?
Your mom would've gotten upset by this point.
You mean you used to be like that in the past, right?
Yes. Of course.
Next is Haeun's strength.
"Moving up and down".
(He's impressed.)
What is "moving up and down"?
It's... I'll show you.
She's going to move the school up and down.
The classroom I mean.
("Psycho" by Red Velvet)
(Dancing)
She's too good.
Psycho
("Shake It" by SISTAR)
Yes!
(Na-na-na)
(Na-na-na hey)
(Na-na-na)
(This thrilling feeling)
(Makes me dance)
(This moment shake it)
I can do this dance too.
Like this.
I want to do this too.
(Dance with me all night shake it baby)
(This is the class of a YouTuber with 4.5 million followers.)
- She's amazing. - Dance, dance!
Continuing this excitement is...
Jam Eon. His strength is "Delilah".
- Yes. - Delilah?
There's an old song.
- Yes. - "Delilah".
- You're going to sing that song? - Yes.
Let's hear it.
Bring in Jam Eon right away.
(He pretends he didn't hear it.)
Is it "Delilah"?
Good luck, Jam Eon.
(He gets ready turned back.)
It's an old song.
- It's an English song. - Right.
(He's surprised.)
(Turning 90 degrees)
(Turning 90 degrees again)
How does he know this song?
(She was)
(My woman)
(As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind)
(My my my Delilah)
(Why why why Delilah)
(So before they come)
(To break down the door)
(Forgive me Delilah)
(I just couldn't take any more)
(He's too cute.)
(My my my Delilah)
(He's listening reverently.)
(So before they come)
(To break down the door)
(Swinging his fist)
Delilah!
- Hey, Delilah! - Delilah!
Come on!
- Delilah! - Jam Eon!
He knows how to keep people on their toes.
Why did you scream in the middle? Is that a part of the performance?
- No. - Did you just do that on a whim?
- Yes. - He knows the lyrics.
Jam Eon, how do you know this song?
Whenever I have time, I practice...
new songs.
One day, I just heard...
"Delilah" by Jo Young Nam,
and he sounded so good that he became my role model.
You did a really nice job at the end there.
(Trying to imitate but failing miserably)
Do it for us one more time.
(This is the real version.)
Good job. Thank you.
Last, we have...
- Tae Yeon. - Tae Yeon.
Tae Yeon's strength is monkey bar pansori.
- Monkey bar pansori? - Monkey bar pansori?
- Monkey pansori in short. - Monkey pansori.
You can do monkey pansori?
I go to the park every day,
and there's a monkey bar there.
To strengthen my abdomen, my teacher had me...
sing pansori while hanging on the monkey bar.
I want to show it to you all today.
- Let's see. - That's a good way to learn.
She's using a monkey bar to learn.
Attention! Here comes Tae Yeon's strength.
- You can relax. - Now, we will have...
Ms. Kim Tae Yeon, the master of monkey bars,
perform monkey bar pansori.
- I'll just show you a little bit. - Okay.
Master Kim Tae Yeon has never come down...
from the monkey bar for nine years. Here she goes.
(Two hands together!)
(You can hear her belting from her stomach.)
(Amazed)
(I'm begging)
I'm begging you, Brother
This is all.
Jam Eon also would like to try but sing a trot song.
I present to you, Mr. Hong Jam Eon,
who falls asleep while singing on the monkey bar.
Let's now hear him sing a trot song.
Can you sing the first verse of "I am Hong Jam Eon"?
- Sing the first verse. - Ready? Go.
(Huffing)
- Give me a moment. - Mr. Hong is...
just checking the height of the monkey bar first.
He didn't fall off.
- He's checking the height. - He's just checking.
He's now checking for its safety.
Of course, that's a must.
- He's checking for its durability. - Last time,
he was on a monkey bar 7m off the ground.
But since it's Children's Day,
he's going to perform on a kid-sized monkey bar.
- Trot on a monkey bar. - "I am Hong Jam Eon."
Please begin.
(Don't laugh at me Because I'm young)
(A man is...)
A man is...
(Springing up right away)
(Mr. Hong is destined to make people laugh.)
Welcome to the school, all four of you!
(Welcome to the school, all four of you!)
- Okay. - Let's go!
- Let's go, Mr. Grade six! - Let's begin asking questions.
- Let's go! - I'll ask my question now.
When I was nine years old, I went to a junior baseball camp.
There, this man was nagging at me so much.
So, I said something to him.
Guess who that was...
and what I said to him.
- It's difficult, isn't it? - You were at a baseball camp?
Where did this camp take place?
I can't say.
- I know! - Because that'd reveal everything.
- Lee Seung Yuop... - No.
Park Chan Ho...
started telling you all about his life in LA.
You got the person right.
- I know! - You know?
You told Chan Ho...
that he's ugly.
(This is what 10-year-olds are into.)
- Wrong. - I know. Okay.
Chan Ho, I talk a lot,
but you talk even more.
- No. - I think it may have been...
that he didn't know who Chan Ho is.
He was only nine, after all.
Chan Ho was going on and on...
about what baseball is.
But to Hwa Cheol, it must've sounded like someone...
who didn't know anything about baseball was nagging.
So, you told him...
that you know better because you're Sung Heon's son.
That's somewhat close.
- I know! - I got it.
I know.
- I'm going in the right direction. - So...
Hwa Cheol didn't know who Chan Ho is because he was nine.
Chan Ho came up to him...
and started giving coaching tips,
and Hwa Cheol asked Chan Ho who he is.
- That must be it. - Wrong.
- I know! - I know!
- Jam Eon, you can go first. - You can go.
No, you can go first.
You were practicing your pitching,
and Chan Ho came up...
- and never mind. - Wrong. I'll do it.
He's giving up.
- He's giving up halfway through. - Tae Yeon, give it a go.
Chan Ho came up to you...
and kept criticizing your pitches.
So what did I say to him?
Old man, I know. Why do you keep nagging me?
- No. - You think you're a Major Leaguer?
No!
- Haeun. - Are you good?
(Are you good?)
Those were all similar answers. That's incorrect.
Hey, mind your own business.
- That's correct. - Correct.
No way! Are you happy?
(She's happy for her partner as if she got it right herself.)
When I went to the US for a junior baseball camp,
Chan Ho was there.
He watched us train and to me,
he was just some uncle who always came to my house.
(He was just some uncle that put me to sleep.)
I had no idea that he's a baseball player back then.
- Right. - And...
he kept critiquing my posture,
my pitch, and everything.
So I didn't say anything at first,
but he was talking so much.
I had been playing baseball since I was five,
so I had been playing for four years by then.
Right, that'd hurt your pride.
So I was wondering why he was giving me corrections...
when he knows nothing about baseball.
So I ended up telling him to mind his own business.
Mind your own business.
- What did he say? - I think he was surprised.
You just thought he was just some random uncle?
- Yes. - Did he come over often?
- Yes. - You thought he just tagged along.
I thought he was just there as a guardian.
- As your guardian? - Good job, Hwa Cheol.
- You did great! - Good.
Chan Ho is like a hero in Korea.
- Right. - After you found out who he was,
did you apologize to him?
I was so embarrassed that I said...
such a thing to someone like that.
You told him to mind his own business.
Yes, I felt incredibly ashamed of myself.
It wasn't your fault.
You weren't born in the generation that'd know.
Apologize to him over there.
Uncle Chan Ho, I'm sorry that I didn't know who you were.
From now on, I'll listen to you better.
Uncle, you should stop talking so much too.
You should consider your audience when you talk to them.
- Haeun. - Haeun.
- I'll ask my question now. - Okay.
When I was five,
I was on "Star King."
I said something to Ho Dong back then.
What did I say?
When you were five?
Ho Dong, please take off your costume!
I should take off this.
Here!
You remember things from when you were five?
I don't remember anything, but I remember this.
I know! You asked him how old he is.
- No. - I know!
You told him that he looks better in real life.
- No. - When she was five?
- Give a hint. - During the interview,
he asked how it feels to see him in real life.
Think of when you were five.
How does it feel to see me in real life?
What would you have said?
When you just looked at him.
You said, "You're all right."
I mentioned food and animal to describe how I felt.
- "You look like pork cutlet!" - Wrong.
- "You look like an elephant!" - "You look like an elephant!"
(Surprised)
- That's somewhat close. - Elephant?
A pig elephant!
- A pig elephant! - No.
It's food and animal.
Pig elephant. That's something I never thought of.
I compared his face to food and his legs to those of an animal.
You said, "Your face looks like a pancake,"
"and your legs look like those of an elephant's!"
- "Your face is like a dumpling!" - I know!
- I know! - A dumpling elephant!
- A steamed bun elephant. - No.
We might make Ho Dong cry if this goes on for any longer.
- Getting it right is best for him. - Kids are innocent.
- Jam Eon has a guess. - I know.
"Your face is like a watermelon,"
"and your legs are like those of an elephant's!"
No. The food that I compared him to is a popular menu for kids.
I know!
"Your face is like a hotteok,"
"and your legs are..."
- "like an elephant's!" - No.
Food that children love?
I asked Jam Eon what he likes to eat because I have to know...
what kids love,
and he said, "Pork blood hangover soup."
(What do you like?)
(Thinking)
(Pork blood hangover soup!)
(Crying of laughter)
- Goodness. Do you enjoy that? - Yes.
This food is made with pork.
"Your face looks like sausages and legs like an elephant's!"
That's correct!
(Hee Chul is correct!)
I was so young, so I really spoke...
whatever was on my mind.
How does it feel to see me in real life?
(Your face looks like sausages,)
(and your legs look like elephant's.)
(For the first time in her life,)
(she met a sausage elephant on that show.)
Because he has...
a lot of fat on his face.
She was trying to say that he's chubby.
Did I get bigger or smaller?
I think just your face got bigger.
- It did? - You're precisely right.
I think my face is actually growing.
Yes, that happens.
You've also been on a show with Jang Hoon before.
What was your first impression of him?
When I first saw him,
I was surprised by how high I have to look up to see his face.
You know those clowns that are really tall?
They usually have to wear really tall shoes to be like that,
but I felt like I was seeing a real-life version of that.
- He's really tall. - You were surprised?
- Yes. - She was so young, too.
- I've seen Yeong Cheol, - She met so many of you.
but only I saw him. I was at an awards show,
and he was getting his makeup done.
Really?
- What did you think of him? - Yeong Cheol often appears...
- at makeup studios. - Those and at cafes.
Haeun wanted a photo with him, but he refused.
I hear you asked him to take a picture with you.
That's right.
Are you going to say no to Tae Yeon today as well?
We promised to follow each other on Instagram.
I can't believe that you're using a little kid to gain followers.
Using a little kid!
- How can you only think of that? - No, I...
How can you only think about your followers?
I really appreciate that she wanted to be my partner,
so I thanked her and suggested that we follow each other.
Kids like it more...
when you tell them that you'll treat them sometime.
- No! - I'll treat you too.
- Do you have Instagram too? - No.
- Why not? - What?
I don't like exposing my personal life.
He doesn't like exposing his life?
- That's impressive. - Who's next?
I'll ask my question now.
Of all things that have happened to me at school,
what's the most memorable one?
- I know! - This is going to be difficult.
- Is it a happy one or a sad one? - Can you get it right in one try?
You went to the cafeteria and you were in a line,
but some kid pushed you from the back...
and your food spilled everywhere.
You got sad.
That'd surely be memorable since it'd go all over her clothes.
(Thinking carefully)
That's somewhat similar.
I guess kids all think the same.
Wasn't that such a good approach?
I think kids can really connect to each other.
- They connect. - I know!
You were on your way back to your desk with your lunch,
and you spilled it.
But you spilled it onto the scariest teacher at school.
What are you talking about? You deserve a smack.
(Here she goes for a smack!)
That's too far away from the answer.
I'm sorry.
You were walking,
and you tripped.
Just as your lunch was about to spill all over,
a boy caught the lunch tray...
and handed it over to you.
(She's not having it.)
That's too cheesy. Wrong!
Did you see her face?
I was on my way back to my desk with my lunch tray,
and there were boys fooling around.
One of them bumped into me.
A boy bumped into you, and you know how you're a singer?
So you screamed like this.
That's wrong.
I think one of the kids will get it right.
I know. You spilled only some of your lunch,
but those were your favorite things.
Wrong!
- You bumped into a boy. - Yes.
You were the last one to get lunch,
so there was no more food for you to get after spilling.
- What? - What are you saying?
Kids in other grades have to eat too!
You kids are hilarious.
I was making my way back to my desk with my lunch,
and boys accidentally pushed me while fooling around.
Then someone appeared.
What did this person say to me?
I know!
You almost spilled your lunch,
but your crush came...
and asked if you're okay.
That's so close!
I know!
Your crush...
gave you his lunch and told you...
- that he'll clean it up for you. - What a gentleman.
No.
This one is a funny one.
Your boyfriend ate the food off of the ground.
What are you talking about?
How can you even say that?
How can you?
It was indeed, my crush.
I fell down like this.
I know!
You fell down like that, and your crush held out his hand.
- I think he's right. - What did he say?
- What did he say? - "Are you okay?"
That's correct!
Go wave at the camera!
Go!
There you go!
Is he your boyfriend now?
He's not my boyfriend yet.
- Just a fling? - Just a boy friend.
- Just a crush? - A boy friend.
Do you guys have a thing?
We're not quite there yet.
- I like him, - Are you guys almost there?
and he likes me too.
But he's the most popular boy in my class.
He likes me the most, though.
- He does. - How do you know that?
- Maybe he told her. - He likes me now.
He's about to tell me how he feels.
You should go tell him first!
Ask him out!
And since he likes you too,
he'd say yes.
Are you always this angry?
(Asking carefully)
He's not the type to keep his feelings in himself.
How am I supposed to do that when I'm so shy?
- Right. - Then you shouldn't date.
I didn't say that we're going to date.
- Do you even know women? - I'm sorry.
(Taking a blow)
This is...
Why did you say such a thing when you don't know women?
- You don't even understand ladies. - Just sit.
They're shy!
There should be a new drama called "A World of Elementary Kids".
- It's really like a drama. - I'm sorry.
- It's "A World of Elementary Kids". - I'm sincerely sorry.
- I'm sorry. - What a gentleman.
Jam Eon...
Okay. Let's go!
I hear that you want to talk to us about a friend.
Yes, I have a best friend.
- A best friend. - A best friend.
You know how wireless earbuds are a big thing nowadays?
He gave me a pair.
I told him that they're too expensive...
and that I feel overwhelmed,
but he told me that he has a lot of those at home.
When I saw the earbuds, I was absolutely shocked.
- You know why? - Why?
They were regular earbuds, just with the wires cut.
His friend cut off the wires.
He gave you a broken pair.
And you were serious too.
This is...
He gave you a broken pair.
I'm under the same agency as Song Hae.
(What?)
- Really? - Yes!
- You're under the same company? - Yes!
Song Hae is a senior at your company?
Yes. There was this one time...
when Song Hae was astounded because of me.
Why was that?
- I know. - She knows.
You asked him for an allowance.
- No. - I know.
Kids usually say, "Hello, sir."
but you said, "Hello, senior, it's a pleasure."
(That calls for a smack, although I don't know why.)
Let's just sit and let them guess. They're good.
You said, "Sir, why don't we catch up over lunch?"
(Sir, why don't we catch up over lunch?)
No!
We performed together.
- With Song Hae? - I know.
Before performing, you asked Song Hae...
to hype the crowd up.
- You asked him to hype them up. - You're coming down to smack me?
A hype man.
You asked him to get them excited.
(Smack!)
No. Here's a hint. Adults in the audience...
often give me allowances.
Some adults gave you allowances,
and instead of singing, you began counting the money.
No!
You got 10 dollars,
and you gave half of it to Song Hae.
That's close.
I know. Song Hae...
- asked, - Let's half it.
"Jam Eon, aren't you going to split that with me?"
So you gave all of it to him.
No!
Song Hae isn't that type of guy.
(She's firm.)
(That was such an unexpected comment.)
Tae Yeon, do you know Song Hae?
- I'm close to him. - Really?
Were you also on "National Singing Contest"?
(Turns out, she also started off on "National Singing Contest"!)
(Hello, I'm Kim Tae Yeon, a lover of sound.)
(She proved her skills when she was in kindergarten.)
- I was on there 3 times. - You were on it 3 times?
- She was on it many times. - Me too.
You too?
Let me tell you what he said.
"Let's see how much you got!"
He said that, so you spread out the stack of money in your hands...
and said, "Guess how much it is!"
(Laughing)
(That's funny, but that's wrong.)
You were carrying the stack of money in your hands,
and when Song Hae asked to see how much you've got,
you hid a few bills in your pocket before showing him.
That's close!
Can you tell us how much you had?
- I had 40 dollars. - 40 dollars?
You hid 20 dollars in your pocket...
and only showed him the remaining 20 dollars.
No! But it's really close!
You showed him 30 dollars after hiding 10 dollars.
There is more story after that.
When you showed him 30 dollars after hiding 10 dollars,
Song Hae said, "I think there is more."
He checked your pocket...
and found 10 dollars.
- Correct! - Yes!
Is that the answer?
(Sang Min is correct!)
- Is that the precise answer? - Correct!
(Dancing)
Why did you hide 10 dollars?
Song Hae is a lot older than me.
If he takes 20 dollars,
I would be left with 10 dollars.
So I thought that combining it with 10 dollars in my pocket...
would leave me with 20 dollars.
You looked one step ahead.
Did you divide the money in the end?
No. Song Hae gave back the money.
- Of course he did. - He gave back the money.
He fooled around because you were cute.
- That's right. - Send Song Hae a video message.
Song Hae, I am always grateful...
since you created my singing career and led me well.
Please stay healthy and live a long life.
- Jam Eon, you are cool. - I want to do it too.
- We also wish that for him. - Tae Yeon.
- Tae Yeon wants to do it too. - Tae Yeon wants to do it too.
- Tae Yeon. - Tae Yeon, go ahead.
Song Hae. It's me, Tae Yeon.
Thank you for always looking after me...
and giving me allowances.
Please stay healthy. I love you.
All right.
- Senior Dong. - Hello, everyone.
It's Senior Dong!
(Wow)
Happy Children's Day!
Hello.
I am Senior Don.
Oh, it isn't "Don".
This is Children's Day Prodigy Quiz with Senior Dong!
(Children's Day Prodigy Quiz with Senior Dong)
Is everyone here a child?
- Yes! - Yes!
All right. This is Children's Day Prodigy Quiz.
Please take turns to tell us what kind of a prodigy you are.
Let's start with Team Mission.
Jam Eon, you can go first.
(I am)
(Hong Jam Eon)
(My goodness.)
Hello, I am a trot prodigy, Hong Jam Eon.
That was rustic.
Hello, I am a sixth-grader who wants to succeed...
in both sports and entertainment industry.
I am Hong Hwa Cheol.
(The ambitious 6th grader, Hong Hwa Cheol)
Let's move on to Team Men.
Team Men.
(How frustrating)
It would be very frustrating if you still don't know me.
Hello, I am Kim Tae Yeon, a Korean traditional music prodigy.
(Yes!)
Hello, I am a dance prodigy. I am Ha, Ha, Ha, Haeun.
She is cute.
(Drumrolls)
"The Terminator".
(Drumrolls)
I am the genes prodigy.
My father, grandfather,
and great grandfather...
have strived hard to stay under the height of 170cm.
Thus, I am around 160cm tall.
I am the genes prodigy, Lee Soo Geun.
Jang Hoon, do you like the introduction?
(Laughing)
Let's get started with the first subject.
The first subject is teamwork studies.
That means we will play the Relay Delivery!
(Relay Delivery)
I will show the keyword to the first person.
Then the first person will describe it with movements.
Then the second person will write the keyword.
Then the next person will use movements again.
Alternate between movement and words.
If the last person gets it right, the team succeeds.
Senior Dong, they have five members...
while we have six members.
Ho Dong, that's an excellent point.
That's why we will have a two-way player.
It will be the member who looks like a two-way player,
- Soo Geun. - Yes!
My grandfather...
and great-grandfather were a two-way player.
I have lived my entire life as a two-way player.
Jang Hoon, do you like the introduction?
All right.
(Laughing)
All right.
Each person has five seconds to explain.
- Five seconds! - All right.
The winning team will receive a snack.
I will tell you what it is.
The winning team will receive a snack...
men and women of all ages love. It isn't regular tteokbokki.
- It's jjajang tteokbokki! - Jjajang tteokbokki
- Jjajang tteokbokki! - Tteokbokki!
Will we get pickled radish?
- Isn't jjajang tteokbokki great? - It's tasty.
If you like spicy food, you can add Cheongyang pepper.
Then it will be spicy.
Will we get chili powder?
Smell the air. Can't you smell the dish?
- No. - Jjajang tteokbokki.
I can smell it!
You can smell it?
- I can't smell it. - I can smell it.
- But I can smell it. - Tae Yeon and...
Tae Yeon and Haeun, do you like jjajang tteokbokki?
Yes.
(Well...)
- No. - I haven't had it.
- You haven't had it? - I have had it.
- You have had it. - Yes.
Do you prefer regular tteokbokki?
Yes.
I am sorry, but we have jjajang tteokbokki today.
Then we will take it.
- It's okay. - You don't know that yet.

School cafeteria to children is what buffet is to adults.
That's right.

I only thought about...

Here comes the question. This is the keyword.

Jam Eon even clapped.

Guys.
Guys. I am sorry,
- but please don't laugh so loudly. - Why not?
Tae Yeon is serious.
- Okay. - We can do a good job.
- It's okay even if we don't. - Here.
If we get this question right,
the score will be tied.
I will give you the question.
Kyung Hoon, didn't you see the keyword?
You got it, right?
Okay, okay.
- Tae Yeon saw the keyword. - Tae Yeon has an idea.
All right.
Tae Yeon. Jang Hoon, turn around.
Tae Yeon, let's go.
- Let's get it right. - Okay.
(Gayageum)
(Okay.)
He figured it out before five seconds passed.
- Okay. - He doesn't disappoint.
He doesn't disappoint. That's it.
That's it.
- That's it. Haeun. - Haeun.
- Okay. Let's go. - She got it.
There you go.
- There you go. - It's a performance.
(Trust me, Tae Yeon.)
That's good.
All right. Write it down.
There you go.
Turn around. Start.
That's it.
Hide it.
The last person is Soo Geun. Let's start.
- Five, - Is it that easy?
- four, - Fingers.
- three... - I got it.
- 1, 2, 3. - Piano.
- Incorrect! - No!
- What? - That's wrong!
What?
Haeun, why did you do this?
- You should have done this. - I saw this.
The answer is "piano".
My goodness.
- Tae Yeon. - Tae Yeon, it's his fault.
- It's Jang Hoon's fault. - It's just that...
I thought it was a piano.
- I did this. - Tae Yeon just did this.
I plucked the strings!
Thus, victory goes to Team Mission!
(Winner: Team Mission)
- I am sorry. I was in the wrong. - We should have given a hint.
You did a good job.
President Seo, Tae Yeon played the gayageum.
- I am sorry, Tae Yeon. - She played the gayageum.
- I am sorry. - It's okay. There is Round Two.
That's right. There is Round Two.
Hold on. There is an important thing to go over.
- Soo Geun was a two-way player. - Yes.
Do you think Soo Geun should eat the jjajang tteokbokki?
- Yes, I do. - He thinks so.
(My goodness.)
- He is so nice. - Thus, Team Mission...
will get jjajang tteokbokki.
He is a warmhearted man from Pyeongchang!
(He is a warmhearted man from Pyeongchang!)
Jjajang tteokbokki with pickled radish!
There is pickled radish too.
It's in a cup.
(Eating)
- Thank you for the food. - This is great.
(Eating)
(Putting a piece in his mouth)
(The two-way player who did his best on both teams eat as well!)
Jam Eon. Which one is tastier, jjajang tteokbokki...
or regular tteokbokki?
Both.
That's right. Both are tasty.
Both are tasty.
Jam Eon, describe the taste. How does it taste?
It's like a mix of jjajangmyeon and jjamppong.
It has spiciness...
- and sweetness. - Does it have spiciness?
He is a prodigy of tastes.
The taste is exactly as he described.
- Is it spicy? - Yes.
This time, the subject will be miscellaneous studies.
The Lucky Box Match!
(The Lucky Box Match)
Since there are prodigies from various fields,
I will give missions from various fields.
One person will participate from each team for every round.
The team that wins a round will receive 10 points.
But one person can't participate in consecutive rounds.
Each team will have the two-way player chance...
or Lee Soo Geun chance.
The winning team will receive a selection of your favorite things,
the Lucky Box of Fortune!
(The prize is the Lucky Box of Fortune!)
How big is the box?
I saw it earlier.
It's about this big.
Jam Eon, what could be inside?
- Our favorite things are inside. - Seriously.
I bet Jam Eon would want something to eat.
- I don't want something to eat. - Really?
I want something that lasts.
- Something that lasts. - Something that lasts.
That makes sense. If it's edible, it will disappear.
Haeun and Tae Yeon, what would you like?
What do you want to have?
I want jjajang tteokbokki.
(My goodness.)
She wants jjajang tteokbokki.
If Team Men wins,
Tae Yeon's box should contain jjajang tteokbokki.
- Let's go. - Tae Yeon, I am so sorry.
- It's okay. - I thought it was a piano too.
I will now give the first question.
The first match will be about speed.
- Speed. - Send out a member from each team.
Jam Eon and Tae Yeon, come on out.
Are you ready?
All right. I love the war of nerves.
Let's see a staring contest.
- A staring contest. 1, 2, 3. - Jam Eon is amazing.
Let's get started right away.
- Yeong Cheol. - The Speedy Pencil-Sharpening.
I am really good at sharpening pencils!
When I tell you to start, begin sharpening three pencils.
The person who sharpens three pencils first wins.
You fail if the lead breaks.
Also, the lead shouldn't be blunt. It should be very sharp.
Show them your support with a round of applause.
Kim Tae Yeon! Kim Tae Yeon!
Hong Jam Eon! Hong Jam Eon!
- Both of you, let's go! - Hong Jam Eon!
Let's go.
Get ready to sharpen the pencils. Start!
All right. The pencil-sharpening began.
Let's go,
- Kim Tae Yeon! - Slowly. There you go.
Jam Eon, hurry up and take it out!
- Kim Tae Yeon! - There you go.
- All right. - You are doing well.
- Kim Tae Yeon! - You are doing well.
They are neck-and-neck.
- You can catch up. There you go. - Let's win.
- There you go. - You can do it.
- You can do it. - Here you go.
"I am Hong Jam Eon."
Once you are done, shout out your name.
Both of them are still going.
All right.
- Let's turn the tables! - All right.
I think both of them are on their last pencil.
- That's not true. - No?
All right. Keep going a bit more.
- Let's go! - Take it out! Take it out!
- Let's go! - Jam Eon!
All right. Jam Eon won!
(Jam Eon won!)
Look at Tae Yeon.
- Look at Tae Yeon. - I will show you the pencils.
All right. Let's check Jam Eon's pencils.
(All three of Jam Eon's pencils are sharp.)
Let's check Tae Yeon's pencils.
- Jam Eon. - You did well,
but one pencil hasn't been sharpened.
- It's okay! - It's okay!
Jam Eon won 10 points for Team Mission.
It's okay.
The second match will be about languages.
The adults can enter this round.
1, 2, 3. Come on out.
Tae Yeon told me to go.
- You need to do well, okay? - Okay.
- Of course. - Lee Sang Min!
- Kim Yeong Cheol, do well! - Kim Yeong Cheol, do well!
(He teaches Sang Min's rap.)
Let's begin. Jam Eon, cheer for Sang Min.
(Rolling his tongue)
(Sang Min responds in the same way.)
This match is about languages.
This is Guess the New Terms.
Hee Chul is good at them.
- I know only know the game terms. - I will give you the question.
D.D.
- What? - D.D.
If you know the answer, say "I got it"...
or your name.
- Yeong Cheol. - Yeong Cheol. One...
Decorating everything.
- Incorrect. It was pretty good. - I got it!
Sang Min.
Duly departed.
"Duly departed" is incorrect.
- I got it. - Yeong Cheol.
Don't decorate.
"Don't decorate" is incorrect.
That was pretty close. You are getting there.
- I got it! - What's the answer?
- Duly decorated. - "Duly decorated" is incorrect.
If you put it in the long-form...
There are seven characters in total.
- I got it. - Your answer is?
Don't dress up again.
Don't dress up again? Incorrect.
Children here and those watching this all know.
- I got it! - Sang Min?
Let's dress up when we get older.
- No, no. - Incorrect.
(What's wrong with him?)
Do you know, Haeun?
I do this at home on weekends.
- She does this at home on weekends. - On weekends?
This is a hint for everybody.
I got it. Let's dress up again.
- Let's dress up again? Incorrect. - My gosh.
Why?
Look at Tae Yeon's face.
- Mister. - Look at her face.
See? The first word is four characters long.
The second word is three characters long.
The first four-character word is English.
The second three-character word is Korean.
- I got it. - One...
Let's decorate Dyson.
- I got it! - Yeong Cheol.
- Your answer is? - Decorating diaries.
Correct!
(Decorating diaries)
(They're gloomy.)
(Team Men earns 10 points!)
I've never heard somebody be this happy during this quiz.
- Diary. - Diary.
- It was "decorating diaries". - I'm sorry, Jam Eon.
- I've never heard that before. - They all use it.
Ho Dong thought it was "all kneel".
I thought it was "grill together".
Grill together.
That's not bad. Grill together.
Wasn't I good, Tae Yeon?
Let's continue with language.
The children will play now.
- With Hwa Cheol? - My gosh.
Hwa Cheol, go for it. You're a sixth grader.
This is Guess the Old Terms.
These are terms adults know, but children don't.
- What will it be? - Is it okay if I lose?
- Of course. - Can I lose?
- No way. - Can I win?
- You can. - That two-way player!
Why are you taking their side?
- I'm on neither side. - This is the question.
What does "babo" mean?
"Babo" is stupid.
"Babo" is stupid? Incorrect.
Somebody who is silly or dumb.
Right, that's what it means.
It's an acronym.
- They won't know. - I got it.
- It's an acronym. - Haeun, your answer is?
- Treasure of the sea. - Correct!
(Treasure of the sea)
Correct!
(Haeun is correct!)
No way!
- How did you know? - How did she know?
- It's treasure of the sea. - How did you know?
How did she know that?
Good job!
- Haeun wins. - Haeun.
How did you know? Did somebody tell you?
We say it at school too.
That's a good school.
We've been using acronyms for a long time.
That was so fast.
Stop going back and forth.
I have to move.
- If not, I'll rot. - When we were young,
"babo" meant treasure of the sea...
or "I miss you even when I'm looking at you."
We didn't use that. It was treasure of the sea.
- Do you know "bolmae"? - Charming by the day.
That's a recent slang.
- We used it. - Team Men has 20 points,
so they're leading!
The next question has to do with people.
- The children will play this round. - Do you want to go?
Who wants to play?
- Jam Eon! - They're facing each other again.
Will Tae Yeon win or will Jam Eon win again?
I will show you several pictures of the same person.
Arrange their pictures...
from past to present.
Who wants to go first? Play or lose, rock-paper-scissors.
Okay, Tae Yeon will go first.
I'll show you the person.
It's this person.
It's him. It's him.
Here.
Tae Yeon, do you know who it is?
- This person is wanted. - I know!
This is unbelievable.
I'm not sure either.
I have no idea.
Tae Yeon will go first.
(Staring)
It makes you think.
- Wait. Do I have time? - I'll give you time.
- I think I know. - Jam Eon thinks he knows.
This is last.
There you go.
These three. I don't get it.
You'll get more chances.
If Jam Eon gets it wrong, you'll get more chances.
This is your first time, so you might get another turn.
- Five, - Like this.
4, 3, 2, 1.
Okay, Tae Yeon.
- This is... - Number four.
- incorrect. - Let's go, Jam Eon.
It's his turn.
- Let's go, Jam Eon! - Let's go!
- Let's go! - I like the spirit.
- Jam Eon! - I knew it.
- That was bold. - Jam Eon.
As if he knows Ho Dong from the past.
- Jam Eon! - He's very good.
(He confidently switches them around.)
- That's where they get confused. - Exactly.
Was Jam Eon correct?
4, 1, 5, 2, 3. This is...
incorrect.
- This is difficult. - Again.
Tae Yeon first.
He was young in this picture.
- Right. - Nobody knows.
Let me give you a hint. This is last for sure.
- Right? - Yes, this is for sure. We know.
Arrange the four before that.
They all look like ID photos.
Wait!
Think about when you would take those photos.
5, 4, 3,
2, 1.
All right.
Incorrect.
That was close. They're getting close.
It's Jam Eon's turn.
I think he'll get it this time.
He knows Ho Dong.
There you go.
- All right. - I bet Ho Dong doesn't even know.
All right. Are you done?
- Think carefully. - Jam Eon! This is...
incorrect!
- Let's go, Tae Yeon. - Both of you should know.
Here's a hint.
Number 3 is last,
and number 2 is 1st. You were right on.
Arrange the middle three.
From 1, 4, and 5. My gosh.
Okay.
I'll give you 5 seconds. 5, 4, 3,
2, 1. Are you done?
I'll give you 5 seconds. 5, 4, 3,
- 2, 1. Are you done? - Yes.
Correct!
(Tae Yeon from Team Men Is correct!)
You're so smart.
- Ho Dong, did you know? - What?
He said this was incorrect.
4, 3...
(It's wrong.)
(Correct!)
(He was startled more than anybody.)
- 2, 4, 5, 1, 3. - 2, 4, 5, 1, 3.
Tell us how old you were. First.
I was in elementary school.
What?
- What about the second one? - Were you in middle school?
Was that in middle school?
I don't know.
They were really confused...
between number 4 and 5.
- Number 4 and 5... - You look older in number 4.
can't be in middle school or high school.
Are these elementary, middle, and high school?
Was this when you were on "Rain Shower"?
- Yes, that was "Rain Shower". - 1992.
- That was around 1993. - 1992.
When was number three?
That's recent.
Team Men takes the gift boxes,
but hold on. Haeun and Tae Yeon,
tell us if Soo Geun deserves one as well.
1, 2, 3.
(He's touched.)
He'll take the lucky box as well.
Team Men takes the lucky boxes!
What is it?
That's big.
What is it?
- I'm jealous. - Thank you.
It must be something good.
- Wait. - Can I open it?
- Let's open the gifts. - Jam Eon, was the tteokbokki good?
You may open the gifts.

- Is this the same thing? - That's so nice.

Right.
So...
My partner Hwa Cheol's.
- This is for Jam Eon. - Jam Eon.
Jam Eon.
Is this okay?
These are different.
There are different kinds.
We had a lot of fun.
Let me ask the winning team first.
Haeun, how was today?
I wanted to be on Men on Mission,
and I'm really happy I was able to come.
I'm even happier I won the game and got gifts.
I got to see handsome guys and celebrities,
so I was really happy.
I hope I can come again next time.
Come again!
Make sure to come again.
I was also really happy to be on this fun show.
I got to eat jjajang tteokbokki,
and I didn't win the game,
but I feel really touched being able to bring home gifts.
Last but not least, how about Jam Eon?
I'll express my feelings with a song.
You're going to sing a song?
What song will he sing?
(He introduced himself with a song, so he'll end with one as well.)
"She's Gone"?
- He's going to sing this song? - Really?
He knows this song?
("She's Gone" by Hong Jam Eon)
This song was...
He's coming this summer.
(Inhaling)
(His arms are completely still.)
(He's already immersed in the song.)
(Mourning)
(Lady!)
(He ripped it.)
(I'm Hong Jam Eon.)
- Perfect! - Perfect!
(He remains composed.)
Make some noise, everybody!
(Make some noise.)
(Pyeongchang guy pours his heart and emotions.)
(Drumming)
(Lady!)
(Exhaling)
Oh, dear.
- All of a sudden? - Where?
Are you leaving?
Gosh, he's leaving.
He's gone.
- He left. - She's gone.
- Jam Eon's song. - That was a lot of fun!
