happy to be together on happy together! - hello. / - hello. - good to have you. / - hello. i heard that hyunmoo is going to be an actor. - what? / - really? are you going to be in a skit? yes. it's a cameo role. - i couldn't be a real actor. / - i see, it's a cameo. we have an actual actress who really needs a role.
have you not been offered a role lately? - no. / - you look like a bride with all that makeup. why don't you appeal yourself to the tv people? please use me. please. i can do really well. - please. / - yes, please. her acting gets worse every day. this is now the trend of show business. you have to say it bluntly.
you really have to put yourself out there. so today, we've come up with the title. - "frozen in time". / - yes. - "frozen in time". / - i see. a lot of people became frozen in their past. - they did? / - we have to defrost them. all right, let's introduce today's guests. - please, come out. / - welcome. he was active at times, but he never made a comeback.
it's kim sanghyuk. (he froze in 2005 after a controversial statement.) it's gu bonseung, from generation x. he used to be so popular. he's from generation x. the awkward comedian became an orchestra conductor. it's kim hyunchul. he used to be a member of moonchild. it's heo jungmin. it's been so long.
(he was frozen in 2001 after leaving moonchild.) kara's final member has returned as an actress. it's heo youngji. (the time she was frozen is unknown.) (the 2016 project to defrost the frozen men) ("frozen in time") it's strange to see youngji here at "frozen in time". - i think so, too. / - everyone else's qualified. i would have never thought of those two together.
i know, right? it's an unusual sight. do you know who bonseung is, youngji? i saw that he made a debut in 1994. i was born in 1994. they have something in common. yes, we do have something in common. i also made a debut in 1994. - it was a special year. / - why is that?
it's the year of my debut and also the year i completed my military service. also, north korea announced that they will set seoul on fire. why did you bring that up all of a sudden? - do you remember that? / - i do. but why are you talking about that now? you know hyunchul, right? he had me burst out laughing when we met.
- why? / - i see. he said that he's not a comedian any more - and that he's a musician now. / - i have changed. there's comedian blood running through your veins. what are you talking about? i told you about this. i'm in the music industry myself, you know. - i'm not going to be funny any more. / - you are. you're funny.
you don't know anything. i'm sorry to interrupt you, but that was such a typical out-of-date skit. you think you're a better conductor than a comedian? - stop it, myungsoo. / - it's an old-school skit. stop it. (he swings his arms.) (it's so out-of-date.) - what was it for? / - i haven't seen that for long.
- he was exactly like shim hyungrae. / - he takes a good four seconds to react. shim hyungrae taught us that technique. (he gets slapped by myungsoo.) (it took him four seconds to react.) - shim hyungrae taught us that. / - it's old-school. hyunchul came to me today and said he's really sorry, - but he has no intentions of being funny. / - i see.
- he said he's here to talk about music. / - did he? - i see. / - i heard that he doesn't read the music - when he's conducting. / - i see. i never said that. you must have heard it wrong. no. you guys heard him, right? i mean i don't carry it around. how do you do it then? - it's all in my head. / - oh, really? i don't know how to read it. it's no use.
(he doesn't know how to read the music?) (it sounds similar somehow.) it's like saying you drank, but you didn't drive drunk. - why did you bring it up? / - we forgot it until now. - i'm sorry, that's not what i meant. / - why did you? no, no. - it was a mistake. / - it was funny, though. i didn't mean it that way.
i'm sorry, sanghyuk. don't worry about it. it's the first time i'm seeing sanghyuk after that incident. is it the first time since "star survival"? yes. it is. it was back in 2001. your controversial statement - became quite a popular phrase. / - i know.
you said that it's sad to see people forgetting it? to be honest, i blamed myself for years for saying that. but at a certain point, it grew on me. a lot of people... - they remembered you by it. / - yes. they made a satire out of me. but people stopped talking about it. did it feel like people are forgetting you as well?
yes. it made me feel thankful for those who still remember me even as a joke. sanghyuk was a rising star at that time. yes. one might say that he is eun jiwon - that's right. / - and kim jongmin combined. - the three idiots. / - they were the ingenuous three. - yes. / - he was among the top three. he was probably the most or the second most ingenuous. he appears a lot on tv.
yes. he does. i'm only on one show. - oh, really? / - they do a lot of reruns. i thought you were really active. no. i only do one show. some people think that because of the reruns. - i thought you did a lot of shows. / - no, i didn't. - me too. / - that one show? - yes. / - i thought you did at least three.
- no. it's just one. / - you watched the reruns. - just one? / - sorry, but what's wrong with that? why do you keep asking him? - i thought he did a lot. / - it feels hot in here. youngji, do you know jungmin from moonchild? yes. we were in "oh haeyoung, again" together. - they were a couple in the drama. / - we were. they played a couple in "oh haeyoung, again." - yes. / - i thought jungmin was a rookie
when i saw him in the drama. did you know that he's from moonchild? no. i didn't, but i don't think he wanted me to remember. - is that so? / - why not? no. i only said that because she didn't know. i didn't know that person was from kara, either. - why are you calling "that person"? / - "that person". - that was timid of you. / - it was.
- it was childish. / - hear me out. i know goo hara, nicole, gyuri and... - kang jiyoung. / - yes. kang jiyoung. who is this? that's harsh. she joined later. - yes. she did. / - it's been quite a while. haven't you been acting for a long time? i made a debut in 1995.
- really? / - he was a kid. you were a child actor? - you're like my ancestor. / - when was "sandglass"? "sandglass" aired when i was in 4th grade. - you were in "sandglass"? / - in what role? i played the character of park sangwon as a child. yes. it was in 1994. what's this? - is that him? / - no.
no. it's clearly not him. it was very dark. there he is. your dad is a thief. he was chubby then. that's a lie. (the acting of the child is perfect.) - he looks like a bright kid. / - he does. he was good looking even back then.
- he does. / - how's your father these days? he's well, your majesty. (where did the cute little kid go?) he looks different. eat up. you have to eat if you want to get better. i understand. the crown prince is dead and now the youngest one is sick.
myungsoo is good at that kind of acting. you went straight from early childhood to your senescence. there was no adolescence. did you play the husband of hyeongyeong as well? - really? / - yes. we're in "it will be okay" together. (they played a couple in "it will be okay".) youngji was your ex-girlfriend from the show. - yes, in the drama. / - that's right.
whom can you rely on more? - who do you prefer? / - youngji or me? (youngji is his ex-girlfriend.) it's a battle between the ex-girlfriend and ex-wife. that's funny. (is it the ex-wife?) i don't know this person very well. - you're unbelievable. / - why? he's always the first one to make it to an appointment.
he's never late and calls me asking where i am. why are you the first one there, jungmin? it's only reasonable to be on time to meetings for the show. but you're always half an hour early. - you're excited to see me. / - is that a bad thing? why did you say you don't know me very well? - he was excited. / - you were excited to see me. i don't understand how someone can say such things.
i'm sorry, but are you in love with her? no. not at all. why were you so early, then? - he wanted to see me. / - it seems like it. is it true that hyeongyeong has changed recently? i don't know where to begin. - what is it now? / - he said so in an interview. - he said the fame changed her. / - is it true? we were in "capital scandal" together.
she was a rookie back then. she couldn't even say hello to me. she used to sneak a peek at me acting. (i'm watching you, jungmin.) i see. he's always like that. - then what happened? / - we met again later in "it will be okay". she came off as arrogant to me.
- how so? / - so called "star syndrome". did she say hello to your face? no. (long time no see, jungmin.) she wasn't hiding any more? i'd be thankful if she even said hello. - she doesn't even come and say hi. / - i... she's just like this. - i'm a senior, you know. / - he's making it up.
she sits like this and says, "oh, hey." my goodness. i've never seen anyone so disrespectful. - you're driving me crazy. / - i warned her many times. i thought only the old-timers could do that. even they don't do such things. - hyeongyeong, is this true? / - you know it's true. maybe she was busy doing something.
no, it's not that. we're very close. i couldn't help but notice that jungmin has a lot of interest in hyeongyeong. - do you think about her a lot? / - sounds like it. why would you arrive early in meetings and wait for 30 minutes? i'm always on time for everything. half an hour is too much, don't you think? - he was late for our meeting. / - really?
(the situation has taken a drastic turn.) you were late for youngji? (i knew he was into me.) (why were you late for me?) you didn't want to be on time for youngji? when did we have a meeting for "oh haeyoung, again"? - we had a lot of it. / - who were there? - didn't they invite you? / - who were you with? (he won't admit it.)
(his lips are trembling.) why are your lips trembling? you don't remember things either. hyeongyeong, did you ever feel he liked you? tell us if you ever noticed it. he married han boreum in the drama. - he also married me, the ex-wife. / - good for him. why do they get married so many times? (jungmin is the ladies' man.)
he said that he preferred me. - did he say that? / - was he - drunk dialling? / - yes. he drank and proposed to you. he told that to the director. i heard that you call hyeongyeong when you're drunk. - he does that. / - when did i do that? - he calls me. / - he did that to me, too. - really? / - he was drunk at a gathering.
- he called you? / - no. he said he liked me to my face. (was he cheating?) yes, in front of everyone else. - what? / - he told me that he's saved up a lot money. he kept telling me things like that. - jungmin, don't you remember? / - he doesn't remember. his face became frozen.
he didn't see this coming. i said that? yes, you said you saved up about 30,000 dollars. a wedding costs way more than that. (i'll buy your love with 30,000 dollars.) his lips keep twitching. he didn't say that to me. 30,000 dollars? nobody remembers anything today.
- jungmin, tell us the full story. / - yes. - people were cheering for us. / - oh, really? i said no and he said he'd forget it the next morning. - you were serious. / - it's even scary. - oh, my goodness. / - were you serious? you don't usually tell people your account balance. - he wanted to share everything. / - yes. why were you so specific? were you in a hurry?
jungmin. i apologize. (i'm sorry about everything.) he's finally apologizing. - why did you refuse him? / - because of the money? he told me the account balance. he wants a low-budget wedding. you refused him because of the money? i didn't know you were so shallow.
what if he said three million dollars? he doesn't look that rich. (the truth hurts.) (youngji threw a fast ball at him.) (i'm going to stop drinking.) he's never like that around us. he says he doesn't have any money. this is what he said. he was finally able to save up some money.
- and then? / - after the incident, he disappeared. - without a word. / - because he was rejected. he was embarrassed. he was serious. even when he was drunk, he was embarrassed. when people drunk dial, they always remember what they did. - did it happen to you, too? / - yes. what happened to the savings since then?
it's the same. it's still 30,000 dollars? no, it's hard to explain. how much is in there? why do you want to know my account balance? (even his hands are shaking now.) how much is saved? (why won't you do the same to me?) how much do you have, jungmin?
- how much do you have? / - he's looking exhausted. it's been like that since "tears of the dragon". - he's still acting? / - he's still in that character. (please stay healthy.) - your eyes are red. / - even his hands are shaking. people just tuning in will think you were crying. - i remember something else. / - what is it? there's more? - are you trying to kill me? / - there was
a reason why he was so enthusiastic. the director said he will use him in the future if he dates with me. (he was eager to succeed in his career.) and then he said... that's the worst thing i've heard this year. and then jungmin said he'll get an extra 20,000 when that happens. (looks like this is the end of my career.)
isn't that soju? could i actually have some? that was quite a story. did the director really say that? yes, he did. (even without alcohol, his words are slurry.) we'll help you with the 20,000 dollars, don't worry. we'll collect 100 dollars from each person. jaeseok will take care of the rest.
this is what the director said. "a man should get a loan of 30,000 dollars first." "after that the husband and wife save money together." - are you proposing to her again? / - no. he was very serious. if you look at it that way, he has 60,000 dollars. - adding 30,000 dollars of loan. / - that's a lot. - it is a total of 60,000. / - he has lots of money. - you are a genius. / - 30,000 plus 30,000 is 60,000.
i can't stay stupid forever. he's changed a lot. to be honest, it's really not that hard to point out. (next time i'll try multiplying.) some people don't know who gu bonseung is, - but he was quite the star in his days. / - right. who could he be compared to? he was the star in every different field back then. - lee seunggi? / - that would be correct.
kind of. i thought he was like lee minho. - he looks like a model, too. / - yes. he's done almost everything. he sang a duet song with jang donggun. - that's right. / - yes, i remember. i remember now. (album by donggun and bonseung) (even choi jiwoo is in the music video.)
(he was with the top stars.) people remember you the most - from your role in "general hospital". / - yes. - the show was a big hit. / - it was sensational. - i remember shin eunkyung being in the show. / - yes. - and also jeon doyeon, / - that's right. kim jisoo, jun kwangryul and lee jaeryong. the show produced so many stars. you also did a show while you were serving in the army.
it was much earlier than "descendants of the sun". - it was very original at that time. / - yes. the viewer ratings point was about 44.3 percent. - gosh. / - wow. you filmed the show while serving the military, right? i remember cha inpyo along with all others. cha inpyo and lee hwijae were the stars of the show. that's right. there was also gam woosung.
there were rumors surrounding you saying you came from an extremely rich background. the rumor that you were one of the orange tribe. i did a lot of work even when i was just a rookie. people thought there must be a reason with my surname is gu and all. yes, the same surname as the lg family. oh, lg. i was in the same generation of them.
we even had similar names. nowadays, there are a lot people with that name. ku bonchan from archery, - gu bongil from fencing. / - yes. and the footballer koo jacheol. we are in the same family tree, but not related. what about the girl group, gugudan? (ku bonchan, gu bongil, koo jacheol and gugudan) oh, okay.
(it feels freezing here.) i'm sorry. (they got frozen.) - and... / - that was the worst thing i heard today. - it was shocking. / - that was it. that was the worst of the day. why did you bring that up? when was the last time you were in kbs? (how long has it been since he last appeared?)
i think about 15 years. it's your first time after 15 years? - yes. / - what was your last appearance? - i don't quite remember. / - was it "top 10 songs"? now that i'm here i realize that this was the set - i was in for the daily drama. / - that's right. - i think it was about eight months. / - right here? - yes. / - what was the name of the show? i don't quite remember.
"i don't quite remember." i'm sorry, but we're not conducting a hearing here. you keep saying you don't remember. he sounds like he was on a long business trip abroad. i really don't remember. i saw there have been a lot of changes made. there are coffee and snacks. - they didn't give you back then? / - no. i think i saw something like this on tv,
where everyone is helping someone with amnesia. - you don't remember the past, right? / - right. i was 19 years old when i was on "star survival". - we were on team handsome together. / - i remember. i don't think he recalls that. i was so happy to see him and said hello. he just went like this and walked away. you were in "star survival" together. he didn't seem to remember me one bit.
do you not remember him? - no, i don't. / - how could he not remember it? (second season of "star survival") is that really me? you look the same. (you can tell right away it's him.) wow, everyone's there. i see you, sanghyuk. (sanghyuk and bonseung were in the same team.) that person kneeling is me. don't you remember me?
- oh, my. / - he looks so young. i can't live without you. he was so energetic. - a single mistake. / - we're talking about it again. (they keep going back to it.) you keep going back to the story. (they keep bringing it up.) - by the way... / - bonseung, i heard you met jungmin before.
- jungmin? / - yes. i met him when he was a member of moonchild. i went to new zealand to film moonchild's music video. this is the first thing bonseung has remembered. he only remembered when we told him. - jungmin, did you come to new zealand? / - yes. (even his first memory isn't clear.) - he doesn't remember anything. / - right. hearing him, it feels like
when he thinks it's been only a year, it could be like seven years or so. - exactly. / - like in a movie? - like a movie. / - were you really frozen? - exactly. / - i feel sorry for him. - i didn't remember that. / - we ate together. - do you remember / - they had a meal together. - what you talked about? / - can i say it here? - sure. / - you can say it.
there was a rumor about him and an actress. - bonseung was enraged. / - i see. i don't think he'd remember saying that. he said he wasn't angry because of the rumor. he was angry because his age was miswritten. - he was furious. / - do you remember that? - yes, i do. / - i thought he was peculiar. - my age was written two years older. / - that's right. if i were bonseung,
- i think i would be sad. / - why? because he can't remember happy memories. - he must have some. / - he'll remember something. it's not as if he has amnesia. - it's not like he just woke up / - that was funny. - from a coma. / - he's not a critical patient. rumor has it that bonseung had - plastic surgery, / - i heard he was overseas. or he got married. some even said
- he was chased by creditors. / - because of his movie. during public holidays, you can watch a rerun of his movie on tv. sanghyuk said many of his old shows are aired. - they rerun my movie after my show. / - exactly. (you can watch a rerun whenever you turn on the tv.) they air his movie after his show. - that's right. / - that's funny. people still tell me that they enjoyed my movie.
(he hasn't been in a movie for 15 years.) you were really popular. you must have had your reasons, but i don't understand why you suddenly retired. - please tell us the truth. / - please be honest. - the most ridiculous rumor was / - what is it? that i became a possessed shaman. - a possessed shaman? / - my goodness. - a shaman? / - i wanted to take a break for a year.
you took a break - for a prolonged time. / - it had been ten years. - ten years? / - as time passed by, i didn't get any offers. two years ago, i wanted to work as an entertainer again. why? during my long break, i started to think i might never be able
to return to this industry. how did you make a living? - i ran a golf business. / - i see. - you ran a golf course? / - yes, and a driving range. it's a huge business. - pardon? / - it's a large business. - why did you say that? / - i'm sorry, but are you here to discuss business? - just like him, / - you should go to a bar.
- i took a long break. / - i see. sanghyuk, didn't you run a business, too? - i heard it was successful. / - i ran an online shop. the annual sales were three million dollars. really? - wow. / - please continue. but then, something went wrong. my mother is quite bold in terms of investment. - oh, no. / - her business failed
- and she lost a lot of money. / - you paid her debts. after that, i couldn't start a large business. - i ran a snack bar. / - you ran a snack bar, too? - yes. / - was it not successful? - my elder brother ran it. / - i see. i went to busan on weekends and waited tables. were many people glad to see you? - many people seemed glad. / - what did they tell you? - they asked me if i quit drinking. / - i see.
- they talked about it, too? / - you drink coffee now. i think he's very thrifty. - he spends only 600 dollars a month. / - really? when my younger friends call me - during the day, i don't answer. / - why? - i have to buy them a meal. / - oh, i see. but i call my older friends in the daytime. - i say "i'm hungry." / - you ask them for a meal. yes. i ask them to buy me a meal.
bonseung, didn't you have any financial difficulties? i can see your business was successful. still, i earned less than when i was an entertainer. - he looks like he's very rich. / - that's right. it doesn't look like he has any difficulties. you talk like a poor man. people think i got a tan because i played golf. exactly. i thought so, too. - i went fishing. / - is his bracelet made of gold?
(is his bracelet made of gold?) is the bracelet made of gold? it's called rose gold. i knew it. - oh, my. / - he really is well off. - that's right. / - he's different. sanghyuk, do you think he doesn't - look pitiful? / - i'm jealous. hyunchul, what do you think?
- i think... / - he looks really pitiful. why did you say that? compared to bonseung, you are. - we haven't met for a while. / - hyunchul is dressed most neatly among the guests. - but his face is swollen. / - i'm sorry. - actually, / - yes. - "frozen in time", / - yes. today's theme
- isn't what i expected. / - really? i thought you invited - the celebrities who have a side job. / - a sideline? - a side job? / - he prepared a lot for today. myungsoo always gets nervous when hyunchul appears on his show. look how he's sitting straight. he's ready to stop hyunchul from talking. - he's afraid i might be funny. / - this is how
- he sits usually. / - i won't be funny. don't worry. not long ago, hyunchul appeared on "infinite challenge". he said all myungsoo's funny acts were done by him before. - you had the original. / - it was proven on the show. "the yangtze river valley", - "the okhotsk sea". / - right. that's actually my joke.
- myungsoo's signature dance. / - he did it right. - you know this act, right? / - yes. (myungsoo stole my funny acts.) - he has proof of it. / - you did it. it's true. - please show us a bit. / - show the viewers. you should know that hyunchul - debuted three years later than me. / - i see. when you meet your senior comedian for the first time, - you bow deeply. / - that's right.
when he bowed to me, i did this. - he learned it from you? / - he learned it from me. i'm the one who did it first. why would you think that my life as a comedian began when i debuted? i've been a comedian since i was in elementary school. back in elementary school, i did this to a kid who was good at fighting. (he practiced this pose since he was a child.)
i walked all the way to the teachers' room doing this. "move. move." - what are you talking about? stop lying. / - but... there was a segment in "infinite challenge" called "here comes park myungsoo" - where the cast members visited restaurants. / - yes. it was myungsoo's idea. it was called "here comes general park". i changed some details of the program.
- he hosted a similar program with my group. / - i see. since my group was comprised of many members, - we went to... / - myungsoo's ideas weren't original. didn't you say it was the producer and the writers' idea? i never said it was my idea. - i told the directors. / - did you? "don't spread the words. it's not my idea." wait. how did myungsoo host the show?
- i was good. / - when we went to a ramyeon restaurant, - we ate ramyeon. that was all. / - that's right. my group members and young judo players ate ramyeon without saying a word. while we were eating, myungsoo came in to the restaurant only when he had some jokes to say, and then he rested in his car. - while you were eating ramyeon? / - yes.
we just arrived at the ramyeon restaurant. the judo players and click-b members will go in and eat all the food in the restaurant. - do you like it? / - yes. - sanghyuk, do you like it? / - yes, i can eat more. taste the soup first. sanghyuk, strike an eating pose. try to look cool. now, make a happy face.
look at the camera. (he smiles at the camera.) say something to the camera. say something. i said, say something. he made us do all the hard work since we were younger. he took us all sorts of places. when he ran out of ideas, we went to soyang river. we went to soyang river dam.
what did you do there? we crossed the river in a paddle boat - in pairs. / - goodness. look at myungsoo. but i think... - i crossed the river twice. / - it seems like because of sanghyuk and hyunchul, - myungsoo is having a hard time. / - he looks tired. i was the host for the click-b's fan event.
- were you? / - he hosted the event. how was it? it was usual. - did you do a good job? / - you don't remember, right? - that's right. / - why? we paid you a lot. (sanghyuk has his revenge.) - excuse me. / - i can't believe you. - my goodness. / - how could you? - sanghyuk. / - you were paid for that.
how can you not remember? it was more than ten years ago. it seems like - to tell the truth, / - you know the exact amount. back then, myungsoo wasn't famous enough to get paid that much. i still remember that because my group's agents wanted to pay him better because we were working with him.
i was too young to negotiate the fee with myungsoo. i just heard our agent saying he paid myungsoo more than he usually gets because they were close friends. - because they were close? / - i happened to hear that. if they were friends, he should've been paid less. i didn't get paid much. i guess he stole some of it. - no way. / - it's true.
- that's not cool. / - just admit it. just admit it. i received only 1,000 dollars. - only 1,000 dollars. / - i guess you weren't popular. i received only 1,000 dollars for such a big event. i guess you weren't that famous to receive such amount. - back then... / - i usually got paid 3,000 dollars. i heard hyunchul has his principles since his debut. what is it?
i think that because i've kept these principles i'm still working in this industry. when i make a joke, i never backbite or tell off others. - i see. / - i see. i've never made a joke like that before. i've never backbitten others, either. you did it a lot. what does "backbite" mean?
two words are combined. one of them means "evil". - what about the other one? / - the other one? i don't know. (it means "evil".) not every word has a meaning. - excuse me. / - there are exclamation words. i didn't make jokes slandering others. when i was called by my stage name "cabbage",
you made a joke like "i'll tear all your leaves." you'd say "i'll tear all your leaves, cabbage." - my goodness. / - hyunchul. you made a harsh joke to me. don't frown. - "what kind of name is cabbage?" / - that's hilarious. - you backbit someone after all. / - that's harsh. - no one remembers their past. / - as she said, none of you can remember what you did in the past.
the theme should be "lost memories". - we keep changing the theme. / - the truth is the joke i made about saeho was the only harsh joke i've ever made in 20 years. - it's true. / - i've never backbitten anyone before. - i didn't mean to tell you this. / - it's true. - go ahead. / - i'll tell you a story. i'm just saying i don't usually backbite others. when i was working as a dj at a club,
even seo kyungseok from an elite university came to the club and took notes from my lines. hyunchul... learned a lot from me, too. he once fought with a customer while hosting an event. - he threw his microphone. / - he said something rude? the customer teased him about his stutter. that's not true. it wasn't because i stuttered. it'd be considered inappropriate these days.
back then, many clubs held a sexy dance contest to attract more customers. the contestants did something like this while doing a sexy dance. it became an issue, - i see. / - i was on the news. i didn't mean to tell this story. it became a serious social issue. unlike the original purpose of the contest, - exactly. / - it caused a controversial competition.
- the prizes were very expensive. / - that's right. - they even won a car. / - it became too raunchy. it's not that the hosts made the contestants do that. the contestants tried to be too sexy. there's something unfair about the incident. i hosted events in this club, and my senior entertainer hosted events in another one. both of us were on the news. but his face was blotted out,
and his voice was disguised, so no one recognized him. my face was blotted out, and my voice was disguised. but they wrote how i stuttered in the subtitle. "i, i, i will not do, do, do it from now on..." everyone knew it was me because of the subtitle. i was so embarrassed. who writes a subtitle like that? there must have been repeated words. - "i, i, i..." / - that's why...
i was criticized a lot. - i don't do that any more. / - you were criticized. - yes. / - you were criticized a lot. - you must've regretted it. / - i did. why don't you go to an institute for stuttering? you know i did. - you went to a stuttering institute? / - yes, i did. there were many stuttering institutes when i was a kid. stuttering institute?
many children stuttered back then. was "stuttering institute" the name of the institute? it was "institute for speech and stuttering". - there were many speech institutes. / - that's right. public speaking lessons help you stop stuttering. i still remember the script that i practiced when i was in elementary school. it was 4 a.m. on sunday in 1950. the north korean communists invaded south korea.
- back then... / - tanks fired shots. - what could we have done? / - he's not stuttering. - this is a speech script. / - in 1942, in the ruins of the war around the rhine river, - he's good. / - the germans lit a match - when more than three people gathered. / - he's good. when they craved a sandwich, they ate sand instead. let's not throw away short pencils. let's use them until they wear off. thrift and saving!
i didn't stutter at all, right? - right? / - that was great. - it was smooth, right? / - yes. but the words for speech aren't used often in everyday life. public speaking helps you improve your speech ability, - vocabulary, reasoning skills, / - that's right. - confidence. / - and memory. - i still remember the script. / - that's right.
you memorized proclamation of korean independence, too. - really? / - that's right. you memorized proclamation of korean independence? we proclaim the independence of korea and the liberty of the korean people. we proclaim the cause of human equality to the world. we proclaim the perpetual national independence - to our descendants. / - wow. do you know much about this declaration?
of course, i do. - in 1919, in tapgol park, / - right. - the 33 representatives of korea / - you know well. gathered to let the world know about the invasion. - on the independence movement day. / - that's right. did you memorize hunminjeongeum, as well? - i recited it many times before. / - please show us. our language is different from that of china. therefore, the illiterate peasants
are not properly understood. - his pronunciation is poor. / - saddened by this, i have made 28 new characters. it is my wish that all my people may use them daily. you might think my pronunciation is poor because i spoke in the style of that period. there were some vowels that we don't use any more. - he's so cool. / - you think he's cool? - he's intelligent. / - i'm not. solar terms are
start of spring, rain water, awakening of insects, start of summer, grain full, grain in ear, minor heat, - what is he doing? / - start of autumn, limit of heat, - start of winter. / - learning by rote is not good. - she said i'm cool. / - he has vast knowledge, but he doesn't know how to use it timely. - he can't use it in practice. / - that's the problem. - i haven't had a chance to show it. / - it's sad. as the student representative,
i won many speech contests. i won pencils, notebooks and a pencil sharpener. - you know what it is, right? / - yes. kids who stutter kept entering the institute. as we talked with each other... (they started stuttering again.) my mom saw that and told me to stop studying there. "you can't seem to stop stuttering." i quit when i started stuttering again.
he came back to the starting point. - it's a painful memory. / - i understand. you quit when you started stuttering again? i had stopped stuttering before that. - you had to quit. / - that's right. last winter, hyeongyeong took pictures of jungmin. i took pictures of him when we were filming a drama. he was called "scary red jacket".
we thought the jumper was attached to his skin. (jungmin bought a red jacket.) (since then, he wore it at work,) (or when he ate meals.) (he became obsessed with the red jacket.) (people say it's due to the curse of the red jacket.) he never wore any other jacket other than that. how many days did he wear that? - the pictures were taken on different days. / - i see.
- he wore that jacket only. / - he must be thrifty. i think he's not interested in fashion. - i bought it three years ago. / - i see. i bought it for 35 dollars on the internet. isn't it from the north face? no. it's not from a famous brand. - it's not a brand name product? / - no. you must be very thrifty. - it's a good deal. / - when i first saw it,
i thought it was 350 dollars. i gave up on it, but it turned out to be 35 dollars. i thought the seller posted a wrong price. so i bought the jacket. - it's so light and warm. / - wow. that's why i loved that jacket and wore it often. that way, you were able to save 30,000 dollars. - there was a reason. / - that's right. - do you have a girlfriend? / - no, i don't.
you answered... if he'd had one, he wouldn't have asked her out. i wouldn't have said it if i had a girlfriend. - he proposed and got rejected. / - that makes sense. - is there anyone you're interested in? / - no. all you have is 30,000 dollars? your ideal type of woman is unusual. what's your ideal type of woman? youngji's ideal type of man is unusual, too.
(youngji is embarrassed.) - that's right. / - what did you mean by that? - you like a girl with a stable job. / - really? there's nothing unusual about it. did you say "a professional soldier"? - she didn't say "soldier". / - she didn't say that. whenever youngji and hyeongyeong start talking, - jungmin's lower lip starts trembling. / - exactly. do you mean a girl who has a specialized job?
i like a woman who has a specialized job. - why? / - because i'm a freelancer. you meant a permanent job, not a specialized job. - a job with work benefits. / - a permanent job. - a nine-to-six job. / - that's right. - he needs to save more money. / - superannuation, too? - so he values stability in life. / - that's right. bonseung, what's your ideal type of woman? - what is it? / - your business is going well,
- and you're so tall. / - he's so good-looking. - he is 187cm. / - i'm too shy to look at him. i kept hitting saeho instead. - really? / - yes. he's so handsome. to me, health is the most important thing. your ideal type is a healthy woman? it'd be sad if you lose someone when you just met her. - that was funny. / - i have my reasons for this.
a healthy body helps you keep your mind strong, - and maintain positive energy. / - it's important. the positive energy attracts people and makes your life more exciting. is health the only thing you require? - i don't smoke or drink, so... / - i see. how do you think of hyeongyeong? you know who she is, right? i've watched her since she joined happy together.
- really? / - i thought she was unique. - i was surprised when i saw her today. / - why? she's prettier in person. i was his fan when i was in elementary school. i bought stickers with his pictures on them, and put them on my pencil case. - really? / - nag him to treat you to a meal. please treat me to a meal, bonseung. i was a huge fan. i'll treat you to a meal ten times.
(i'll treat you to a meal ten times.) he saved 30,000 dollars. how much money do you have? he saved 30,000 dollars. what about you? he has more money than me. is that so? - she seems disappointed. / - i see. (see? i'm the right guy for you.) (she goes back to jungmin.) she's disappointed by his answer.
i'm sorry. i'm not healthy. - "i'm not healthy." / - why all of a sudden? according to a report from a dating program, - "flaming youth," / - yes. he said he'd never dated anyone in ten years. - that's... / - that's a lie. after ten years of not dating, you become incapable. - that's not true. / - that doesn't make sense. it's really been ten years since i had a girlfriend.
- really? / - yes. - how about going on a date? / - once or twice a year. then why did you say you never flirted? - i meant i haven't been seeing anyone. / - but... i meant ten years since i haven't seen anyone. how do you go on dates? i either take the lady out for a meal or for a movie. - that's it? / - yes. - i never get past the first date. / - i see.
it turns out i am a really conservative person. - is that right? / - i never thought i was. - is touching each other part of dating? / - yes. when you go further, it means you're in a relationship. how can you be intimate without a relationship? - sanghyuk is getting worked up. / - yes. his voice is getting louder. - but... / - you can't handle it? how can you be physically intimate on a date?
do you do that, hyunmoo? (why are you suddenly asking me?) - i just held... / - you need to be in a relationship. sanghyuk, what do you do when you're on a date? since you're interested in each other, you're curious about each other. so you ask each other what you do. when you want to take it further, you ask her out. then the relationship starts.
(this is his idea of a relationship.) - so no intimacy before going steady? / - no. - never? / - do you have a girlfriend? - i don't have one now. / - why not? - i haven't officially asked her out yet. / - oh! - so you are courting someone. / - yes. - you haven't even held her hands yet? / - he has. - i've held her hands. / - what? - what's that? / - what is that?
(they held hands but didn't date.) - what is that? / - we're becoming steady. - so you're in a relationship. / - almost. that means you have a girlfriend. - go public. / - we're not officially dating yet. - how long have you known her? / - six months. - then she's your girlfriend. / - that's steady. - what is that? / - what's up with him? what are you doing?
that makes her your girlfriend. i've known her for a long time, but this is new. you've known her for six months, but it's new. may we ask what she does? - she's a model. / - she's a model. (it's not easy to explain.) i heard one of the reasons why you're here is to let young people know who you are. yes. people in their 20s don't know me.
i want to work harder and promote myself. you joined a reality variety show again after 15 years. i think it would've been difficult to adjust to it. i wondered how real it would get. - but they even filmed me getting off my car. / - yes. - it wasn't like that before. / - when i got off, i thought they'd greet me and show me a script. i thought it'd begin when they hit a slate. but they started filming as i was getting off the car.
i got flustered there. i realized that - doing something planned was meaningless. / - it is. they were filming me for 24 hours. if i don't show them the real me, - it looks more awkward. / - right. after the shooting, everyone just left saying bye. in the past, everyone greeted each other. but now everyone's really busy. i didn't know what i was supposed to do
when i was left alone. i stood awkwardly. when you don't leave, they ask why you don't leave. - it was like that. / - yes. in the past, shooting lasted shorter, - so we used to talk to the crew / - grab a bite. - and grab a bite together. / - yes. but nowadays, everyone is really busy. i was shocked when i first experienced it. they wanted to film my sundays. there was no theme.
i had nothing to do. i always sleep on sundays. i had no clue, and they told me to do whatever i want. so i lied down on a sofa and slept. i didn't care. i just slept like this. after about 20 minutes, i opened my eyes. and i found the cameraman doing this above me. (the camera almost touched his face.) - for 20 minutes. / - for 20 minutes. i was so surprised.
that's when i realized it was real. now we communicate with our fans through social media. in the past, fan letters were the measure of your popularity. how many you got mattered. bonseung was unbelievably popular. the most popular one at the time was cha inpyo. in 1994, he was on "love is in your embrace". he was on it with shin aera.
every day, he got about 1,000 fan letters. - in a day? / - in a day? - the most i got in a day was 800. / - wow. were there some fans who came to your house? of course. i lived on the first floor. at first, i didn't mind it much, but one event made me be more careful. one day, i took off my clothes in my bathroom. when i looked up, there was a face on the window.
(it must've been horrifying.) so it was a little uncomfortable then. there were people outside my room window, too. your mom once slept in the car? people kept calling my house, and people kept pressing the doorbell. i didn't know. i only found out about it later. i heard mom slept outside in the car. - that's crazy. / - you have something to say?
i used to live with other members. whenever we went on a tour, the house was empty. some extreme fans broke into our house. how did they go in? i have no idea. and they stole some of our things. their choices fascinated me. they could've taken pretty clothes. - but they only took our dirty clothes. / - dirty ones? yes. they also took our underwear.
perhaps they took them to wear them? - stop it. / - maybe they were cold and lonely. - they were cold. / - why would they take that? - how can you be sure? / - gosh. - have you been in their situation? / - stop it. why do you think from your perspective? - maybe they were cold. / - they were cold. they could've been if it was winter. - he's really funny. / - yes.
- right? / - he's really funny. sanghyuk, you used to act, too. at the time, many people gave me roles. - i starred in the movie "the aggressives". - the movie. / - who else was on it? kim kangwoo, chun jungmyung, lee chunhee. at the time, they were all rookies. i was active. but something happened before it came out. - you got arrested for drunk-driving. / - yes.
(he was forced to freeze.) why does it always go back to that topic? many things happened at the time. right. and then, the director of "high kick" called me to be on the sitcom "cute or crazy". he was directing the sitcom, - and he wanted me to be the lead character. / - and? on its first air date, i got arrested.
you got arrested then. it was before the release of the sitcom and the movie. - yes. / - it was all stopped because of that. that was ten years ago. i am so sorry that i caused trouble to the directors and the crew. now that you mentioned acting, let's talk about youngji and jungmin's famous kiss scene. - we... / - i heard your father saw it.
- what happened? / - my father got shocked. he left our family chat room. - was he upset? / - no. he was shocked. he was shocked to see his daughter kissing. - was it aggressive? / - it was. - he thought you were just a baby. / - yes. - did he not join it again? / - we invited him again. - you invited him. / - did he accept the invitation? yes. but he didn't talk.
after shooting that scene, he high-fived the director. - why? / - i don't know. jungmin, what were you thinking? her dad left home, you know. leaving the family chat room is just the same. - he's inconsiderate. / - he really is. leaving the family chat room is like leaving home. he just started to feel a little better, and... her dad might kill you.
when we were preparing for that scene, (he tries to explain himself.) i was really worried that she was too young. she's 12 years younger, and she's an idol. i didn't know how serious it should be. i wanted to end it - in one take. / - that's what he said. we rehearsed the move and finished it. the director liked it,
and i was glad it ended with one take. - you did it on your first try? / - yes. - this... / - this is it. - this is it. look. / - oh, dear. oh, gosh. (it's the problematic scene.) - dad leaves the chat room. / - is this allowed? - it is. / - please leave, everyone. i remember seeing a comment that
called it "self-defense kiss". they pushed each other. - they were pushing each other. / - they were determined to finish it quick, but they were shy. - we weren't too close. / - it was awkward. jungmin wanted to finish it on the first try. - he felt obligated. / - yes. he did. after shooting that, i was shocked. so i showed hyunjin the video. when i showed it to her, she said, "you didn't have to do this much."
- it was too much. / - why didn't you stop? i was scared. i thought i couldn't do that. - other people were working so hard. / - right. - i couldn't... / - maybe you got lost. watching people kiss is no hard work. i mean the shooting... - why do you like it so much? / - is that your tonic? how is that hard work? there are many people out there who work hard.
that was the first kiss scene of the show. that's why the director carried around the scene's video to show eric and hyunjin. "look at how they kissed. how are you going to do it?" it became the standard for other scenes. eric had an interview and this is what he said. - "their enthusiasm pressured me." / - i bet. however, amazing kissing scenes followed.
the two of you played an important role. - you did great. / - yes. you should tell your father that both of you worked hard. you described the lifting scene as a crisis in life. i'm quite unhealthy and weak. he rests for two days in order to party for a day. the scene involved youngji running towards me - and giving me a hug. / - that's right.
- once or twice would have been fine, / - he's weak. but the scene took many takes. i'm only human. since it had over ten takes, it burdened my back. i suffered greatly. it was the number of takes that posed a problem, right? well, youngji is healthy. (my goodness!) you need to understand
- that he is incredibly weak. / - really? he goes to the same gym as dongwook. i asked him, "how does jungmin exercise?" he told me that jungmin strolls around the place and leaves. he goes to the gym to take a shower. - i see. / - he goes to the gym to take a shower. that's how he saved up 30,000 dollars. he didn't use water at home to save that money.
i lifted jungmin instead. i asked the director to change the scene. youngji is very strong. i ran towards her and hugged her. in a sense, it felt like a mother's embrace. (it's a comfortable feeling in his memories.) you were reminded of your childhood.
it was something i felt as a child. she wrapped her arms around me. - i was an inline skater. / - i see. - you must have strong legs. / - yes. - then she made two turns. / - i did. she was so dependable. it should have been the other way around. ever since "tears of the dragon", he continues to play sickly characters.
he has had similar roles for over 20 years. - it's impressive. / - he'll get hurt if he tries to lift me again. would you be able to recreate the scene today? it's only hard if the number of takes reach ten. youngji is not wearing pants. she is wearing a skirt. since sanghyuk is pretty light, why don't you recreate the scene with him instead?
he won't be able to lift me up. ("oh haeyoung, again") (viewer discretion is advised.) (we spent the past days together.) (you and i) he is stumbling already. - let's go, sanghyuk. / - hoon! (hoon) wait a minute.
(he falls to the floor.) - what was that? / - why didn't you catch me? you should come faster. - you need to run faster. / - try it again. run towards me. (second attempt to hug and lift him up) hoon! (he lifts him up.) (groaning)
i think you almost swore. he swore when he lifted me up. it's saeho's turn. (it's saeho's turn.) - how much do you weigh? / - i lost a lot of weight. i now weigh 75kg. you're a bit heavier than sanghyuk. i weigh between 75kg and 76kg. (jungmin never stops challenging himself.)
(this is the olympic spirit.) (the rio olympics in happy together) i lost a lot of weight. i now weigh 75kg. look at his legs. let's go. - okay. / - for goodness' sake. - hoon. / - it was a success. jungmin succeeded. next comes the man who weighs 77kg, hyunmoo.
this is a middleweight. - take a short break. / - he's breathing heavily. this is like the rio olympics. this is the olympics. - the crowd is cheering. / - it's the last game. (heo jungmin!) (you can do this.) - gather your energy. / - he has thin legs. let's go, hyunmoo.
for goodness' sake, you... - my goodness. / - that's good. you've succeeded. he is drenched in sweat! jungmin, are you sure you didn't swear? - no, i didn't. / - "you..." he looked angry when he hugged me. hyunchul is next. (hyunchul is next?)
- hyunchul. / - this round is for a silver medal. he is challenging himself for a silver medal. i weigh over 80kg. - hoon! / - wait a minute. you should support your back. i'll put my hand on his back. - tighten your abs. / - don't worry. for goodness' sake! (shouting)
(screaming) you're holding me in a weird way. it was a success. (he won a silver medal.) here comes the last round. he'll challenge himself for a gold medal. are you having fun? (it's fun for us.) - yes, we are. / - this is for a gold medal.
give him some water. this is for a gold medal. even i am getting nervous. i am wondering if bonseung will say, "hoon!" this is the last round. - how heavy are you? / - i weigh 83kg. - he is tall. / - it's because he is tall. aim for the gold medal. i can't bear to watch his face. - his legs are so thin. / - aim for the gold medal.
- he can do this. / - hoon! (jungmin lifted him up.) it's a success. it's a success. put him down. (heo jungmin wins a gold medal in hug-lifting.) check his armpit. i bet he is sweating. (his armpits sweat because of happiness.) good job. you are our hero.
let's throw him up in the air. let's throw jungmin up in the air. - good job! / - good job! - he is the hero. / - we threw him up in the air. lie down for a second. you should lie down for the rest of the shoot. - my goodness. / - take a break. - take a break. / - he looks like a corpse. this is a scene from "tears of the dragon".
crown prince! you must wake up. you should become healthier soon. yes. - we should have ended it with one. / - he is strong. - he is strong. / - he lifted up so many people. - he came very close to swearing. / - true. "for goodness' sake!" in my opinion,
he swore to hyunmoo. - he swore to me. / - "you..." (he swore to hyunmoo.) - the task was too hard. / - that was funny. i thought sanghyuk was appearing on many different programs. i'm surprised that he is only in one. he used to be in more than one weekend program. that was the time
when i was on mbc's "star survival" with jaeseok. on kbs, i was in "sports odyssey". i remember that show. they were rival programs aired at the same time. i appeared on both programs. - the rules must have been stricter back then. / - yes. the producer of mbc told my agent that i should work harder on their program. my agent told me
that i should work harder on "star survival". however, the director of kbs also gave me gift certificates. he asked me to work hard, too. since he gave me a substantial gift, i was more energized in the kbs program. - that's right. / - that's right. sanghyuk, you hardly had time to rest during your heyday.
- how busy were you? / - i was very busy. i used to sleep in cars. back in those days, i had to ride express delivery motorcycles with my helmet on. saeho, you were never that busy, right? i am very busy, too. (he defends himself.) what do you want me to say?
tomorrow, my schedule starts at 04:30 a.m. - what is it for? / - what is it for? i will be filming a commercial. then you should go home early and rest. you don't have time for this. it's still too early. - go home and rest. / - you don't want to be tired. we have nice guests today. you can leave early. if i go to bed now, i will be awake by 11 p.m.
- go home. / - it's okay. - you should go home. / - it's okay. - you should go home. / - saeho has changed. how has he changed? the casts of "roommate" share a chat room. i was so happy when i saw saeho on tv, that i took a photo of him and shared it with everyone. i said that i'm proud saeho is doing so well. then dongwook said,
"i don't think saeho is in this chat room." - he changed his phone number / - he wasn't there. but didn't tell me about it. i thought he would read my messages. dongwook invited him back to the chat room. he told me only then that he changed his number. most people contact their acquaintances right away. he is choosing whom to befriend. i didn't have youngji's number.
i can't contact you if i don't have your number. it's impossible. i didn't have her number. how can i call you when i don't know your number? this is like the case of an icon of absence. i need your number to send you a text. i can't send you a text without it. - this is incredible. / - wouldn't you agree? - this is the second version. / - i thought i had hers.
i had a number saved under youngji's name. however, a middle-aged man answered when i called. she didn't give you her personal number. that's why i couldn't text you. youngji, you need a number to send a text. - you can't send one without it. / - all right. - okay? / - i'm sorry. when you were not working, watching tv must have felt different.
you want to be on a program on current affairs. i am interested in a program like "non summit". - really? / - i want to talk about culture as a korean representative. - then you should be very knowledgeable. / - right. you should be informed about korean culture. what is the number one treasure of korea? - is it namdaemun? / - it's a gate. a gate?
(they are saying) (namdaemun) - it's a gate. / - a gate? - what kind of gate? / - they said it's namdaemun. namdaemun is a national treasure. it's the number one national treasure. it's the same thing as treasure. a national treasure and a treasure are the same.
- you're wrong. / - it's like an heirloom, which is a treasure of the household. he made a good point. - this is so funny. / - my goodness. myungsoo was betrayed by his friend. a national treasure and a treasure are different. there are number one treasures and national treasures. he's right. the number one national treasure is different from the number one treasure.
he got attacked for saying the right thing. the number one national treasure is namdaemun. being attacked flustered myungsoo. - he is right. / - the number one treasure is dongdaemun. like we said, you need to be informed about korean culture - as well as current affairs. / - that's right. the upcoming presidential election in the us
- is a popular topic. / - i know about that. who are the presidential candidates? hilary clinton and donald trump. tell us more about donald trump. when sanghyuk answered, hyeongyeong nodded as if she knows about the issue. i doubt she knows anything. who is hilary clinton's husband? - i know. / - who is her husband?
hilary duff. (that would be the marriage of the century.) are you trying to be funny? she said hilary duff. she is quick-witted. she is, right? she is perfect for the program. - she is quick-witted. / - what is lincoln's name? what is his first name? lincoln? are you talking about the car?
there is a motor company named lincoln. she is the treasure of happy together. let's give sanghyuk another question. the topic is the law. this refers to improper solicitation and graft act... kim youngran act. (he answered clearly.) - who is kim youngran? / - he spoke like sohn sukhee. when i first heard about the act,
i thought jang youngran made a declaration. why would she make a declaration? i only heard snippets about it. the act tells you how much you can accept - on different occasions. / - that's right. i thought jang youngran talked about such matter - on a variety show. / - i see. you thought, "jang youngran must have" "suggested a restriction."
that's what you thought. i thought she came up with an act - celebrities should follow. / - jang youngran act. that's what i thought it was. you thought she came up with restrictions. are you here as a conductor or a comedian? we don't want you if you are here as a conductor. you should join "classic odyssey" in that case. "classic odyssey".
have you stopped being a comedian? no. don't say that. are you still a comedian? i don't have the right stage to perform as a comedian. do you have a place? - i do. / - where? - happy together. / - happy together. he is a regular member. i am curious. why did you suddenly start conducting?
people ask me that all the time. - you always conducted. / - they ask why i started, - but i have always done it. / - i see. i thought it was for comedic purposes. not many people know that i have always conducted. hyunchul debuted with a skit involving conducting. he and i graduated from the same school. i thought you conducted for comedic purposes. i didn't know that he did it seriously.
it would be illogical to call me a conductor. - what should we call you? / - i pondered on the matter and came up with a new title. the act can be called a conducting performance. then i will be a conducting performancer. it can simply be a conducting performer. that's the title i wanted. i told people that i am a conducting performancer. the title reminds me of "sikeomuns".
he is a comedian. (he takes conducting seriously.) then you go like this. boom, boom, boom. (even though he didn't get a formal training,) (he leads an orchestra with passion for music.) (he continues to challenge himself.) why did you ask the staff to film the rehearsal on their day off? i was afraid that
- the staff will think / - were they suspicious? i conduct half-heartedly. that's why i invited them - to watch. / - you wanted them to see it. i heard that the audience doesn't trust your explanation and looks up the information on the phone. - they don't trust you. / - please elaborate. i can tell you about it. after the performance,
i give an explanation about the piece. i'm good at memorizing numbers. "bach was born in 1685." "he passed in 1750." when i say that, people look it up on their phones to see if i'm right. - that's funny. / - then they nod. i ran a radio program for classical music for over five years. i studied on my own.
- you worked hard. / - i even have a notebook. i hope the audience would believe me - and not double-check the facts. / - there it is. (he studied classical music for a long time.) - those are my notes. / - he studied hard. - he's cool. / - i memorized everything. - you memorized everything. / - yes. i did. what year was giuseppe giordani born? he's not very famous. only one piece is famous.
"caro mio ben". (he quickly talks about the composer's popular work.) you don't care about unpopular composers. - what about amadeus? / - he's not taught at schools. it's mozart's middle name. his first name ends with "gang". it's wolfgang. what kind of question was that? - "his first name ends with 'gang'." / - wolfgang.
everyone knows it's wolfgang. what year was verdi born? verdi is quite well-known. i believe he was born in 1813. you wrote that he is the same age as wagner. - yes. / - he is the same age as wagner. as you and i are the same age, verdi and wagner are the same age. how much do you earn per performance?
- it must be charity work. / - is it? i'm curious. - it's charity work. / - he is popularizing symphony. he wants to popularize classical music. you have another performance at uijeongbu next week. - that's right. / - do you get travel expenses? are you doing this to become rich? do you get paid? - i can explain. / - i bet he gets money for gas.
my goodness, sanghyuk. is it necessary to talk about travel expenses? you are doing this for the public, right? i bet he gets money for gas at least. he studied hard for his career. - i... / - go ahead. donate my talent to three organizations. the official performance i give is work between a professional conductor and musicians.
there are rehearsals. it's a for-profit performance. i do earn some money from it. however, the performances i give with adolescents or amateur musicians of holt school are non-profit. it seems like you took notes in your blood. is that coffee? maybe he was wielding a weapon. he must have pricked his skin. (does this show his passion for classical music?)
it's a smudge from grapes. i thought you had a nosebleed. no. i dropped a grape skin. - you dropped it. / - i dropped a grape skin. - is it from grape? / - yes. it is. it is from grape. - hyunchul, / - give us a show. show us how you conduct. he is a maestro.
can we play a random song? do it. what is this? it's "hungarian dance no. 5". ("hungarian dance no. 5" by johannes brahms) - let's see how he does. / - nice. quieter. - did he memorize everything? / - louder. (the musicians of the orchestra are cheerful.)
i must stand up. (he conducts in earnest.) (he goes wherever there is classical music.) (it's a trip of classical music with kim hyunchul.) he is going a bit fast. (he is a skilled conductor.) (he is the master of conducting performance.) - shall we move on to a different piece? / - wow. - let's try a different piece. / - it looked cool.
how did you conduct for a skit? - you showed us a serious conducting. / - it was nice. when i was a rookie comedian, i was amazed by how novel his skit was. - please show us. / - you went to him to learn. i went to him to learn. - it was back in 1991. / - here i go. in two, three. (the crew missed the timing.)
(music makes him happy again.) (his gestures are exaggerated.) (he's satisfied.) this is fun. (he gives energy to the audience.) (this is a conducting performance.) how funny. (the timing was perfect for cymbals.) (he conducts and plays instruments at the same time.)
this is what i wanted. this is the best. (jaeseok is smiling from ear to ear.) this is great. this is incredible. (i didn't know classical music was so fun.) (he is giving his all to the performance.) (he plays a variety of musical instruments.) classical music is fun.
this is so much fun. (he brings out a violin.) (it's too loud.) (he's now playing a little violin.) - this is fun. / - isn't it? there you go. (hooray) (the finale was a blast.) - this is better. / - it's worth learning.
it is worth learning, isn't it? - can you do this for your conducting? / - i can. - i prefer this. / - i like this version better, but i have to move faster with this. - the orchestra might get confused. / - i see. he does this style in one of the musical pieces, and the audience loves it. they get to feel closer to the classical music. - that's great. / - what i want to hear the most is
that i'm leading the classical music closer to public. i want to do this job to make many people happy. if you want a traditional classical music performance, you can enjoy a lot of it conducted by professionals. i want to perform for the amateur audience. - if they become fond of classical music, / - i see. i'll be pleased. (we applaud him for his passion and endeavor.) one of hyunchul's long-time talents is...
- slapstick comedy? / - that's right. - yes. / - i used to share this when i give lectures about comedy in colleges. even though the tv industry changes swiftly, if they want to be comedians, there are at least three things that they should learn. - what are those three? / - what are they? they are slapping in the face, - splashing water. / - splashing water
and falling down while trying to sit on a chair. these can make people laugh both in the past - and in the present. / - right. you mean they are funny in all ages. yes. no matter when and where you are. - please explain about slapping in the face. / - yes. i used to do that when i was a comedian but because now i'm not a comedian any more... (slapping)
myungsoo really slapped him. - that's it? / - look at his face. he got upset instead of being funny. that was wrong because we didn't discuss it. - that looks painful. / - if you copy what he did, viewers will feel bad for the person who got slapped. that isn't good comedy. then how should you slap? you should slap boldly. the one who slaps is important.
as you two said, it should be done with only one slap. - really. / - right. that will hurt less. if you slap across the face, it's more like a drama. "hey, why are you being so naughty?" "i have to slap you today." you're not supposed to move. you should stay like this. (myungsoo slaps him back.) - how do you do that? / - this usually happens when a couple is in a cafe in a drama or a movie.
"what a bad guy you are!", "what?" "what did you do last night?", then you splash water. isn't it what a human being should do? (she splashes juice on his face.) it's actually not that easy. why? because you don't have a chance to practice. you can practice crying in front of the mirror. but have you ever practiced getting splashed on? - no. / - that's the point.
that's why you should practice. - you mean practicing on splashing the water? / - yes. it's practicing both splashing and getting splashed on. also trying to stay calm after getting splashed on. (he pretends to look calm.) hyunchul, please show us how you stay calm. no. if i get splashed on and make people laugh, - my image will be ruined. / - don't try to refuse. please show us how to stay calm.
- we want to see how you stay calm. / - wait. - please show... / - there are piles of towel here. - wrap the towel over here. / - yes, there are many. - on his front. / - the director is now... - i'll splash water myself. / - because... - he'll splash it hard. / - let's splash it on. - please speak some lines first. / - yes, you should. try "you punk, how dare you manipulate my sister?" - my gosh. / - get ready.
action! you punk, how dare you manipulate my sister? - who do you think you are? / - what do you mean? (jaeseok splashes water on him.) (the maestro is in agony.) that's it? the water came into my nose. - it was calculated. / - the first try failed. - you splashed water so well. / - i did, right?
as i told you, the water should go straight. - straight. / - you did well. it was a good splash. - let sanghyuk practice this time. / - okay. think of me as your dad. you're supposed to defy your dad. when you talk back, i'll say, "you punk." - that's the signal. / - hyunchul, action! hey, why are you so late? why do you even care?
you punk! (that should hurt.) - there was no signal. / - that was great. - wait. / - it was spot-on. don't you think you should listen to the next line? i was going to keep the dialogue at first but his line made me splash water on him right away. that was realistic. the water splashed all over him. - there's water everywhere. / - it was a great acting.
- you must have been surprised. / - totally. - wait. / - his hair still looks fine. - his hair didn't get ruined anyway. / - yes. - he can go over to the next scene. / - okay. - next comes bonseung. / - he can just dry his hair. - youngji will splash on him. / - are they a couple? action. who was that girl a while ago? - wow. / - it seems so realistic.
- i said who was that girl? / - why do you care? (she splashes water on him.) that was not bad. - it wasn't bad. / - the water drew an arc. - it flew in an arc. / - it looked like a water bomb. (the water thaws the frozen man.) (he has a funny look on his face.) - well done. next is the last one. / - this is it? (was that it really?)
it's a chair scene. why did bonseung get splashed anyway? (it's okay. you got a funny screenshot.) i'd better stay quiet. - here's a chair. / - what do we do with the chair? - i taught students how to use a chair. / - a chair... the method we can use with a chair is to get up from your seat and to fall down while sitting back.
it might be quite useful. you can keep working on the programs with this skill. you'll be able to make a funny scene, - right. / - only if you can acquire this skill. that means you did a good job and might be cast again. i'll demonstrate it now. please ask me something. - is there anyone who wants to eat this? / - me. - not you, hyunchul. sit down. / - not me? (he falls down.)
do it like this. it's not easy. it's difficult to make it funny. - sorry, but please do it again. / - oh, no. you said this skill will be 100 percent successful, but nobody in the studio was laughing. please repeat. - it's difficult. / - please try again. - i like this kind of reaction, though. / - really? - i'm not a comedian any more. / - please try again. it was okay. it was not funny.
it's okay not to be funny since i'm not a comedian. this is the skill i wanted to show you. - gosh. / - what am i supposed to do? hyeongyeong, it's your turn. this is how you should do. - it's hard to make it funny. / - talk seriously. "hey you, come over here. how dare you..." "what the..." this is how you can do it. gosh. he was not funny at all.
(i did a poor job, too.) even in the water scene, you don't look natural at all. everything that goes on here isn't real at all. the whole lecture itself is not. - that's right. / - it's unnatural. hyeongyeong, you're next. which do you think is the correct answer? (it's hyeongyeong's turn.) - me, me. / - okay, hyeongyeong.
- is it number four? / - no. it's not? oh, no. i think this can't be funny. it's just embarrassing. jungmin, why don't you try? - what's the correct answer? / - it is number four. - no, it isn't. / - i failed. - gosh. / - it's getting harder. (they laugh feeling dumbfounded and sorry.)
it's as if we're being dragged into a swamp. (so nobody can make it funny?) sanghyuk is next. (what should i do? what should i do?) - the correct answer is? / - it is... kim sanghyuk. - number four. / - no, it's not. (could he make it funny by pulling the chair away?) hey.
okay. - hyunchul. / - no one can be funny with this. - the chair isn't effective. / - why did you pull it? it's a thinking chair for reflection. - please sit here for 20 minutes. / - turn around. it was the worst of today's show. - it was the worst. / - he is now reflecting. the chair and gugudan were the worst. the chair and gugudan were...
(being a conductor) (seems to be the right choice for him.) thank you all who enjoyed the show with us. - i'm reluctant to say goodbye now. / - me too. - i am, too. / - right. i think jungmin needs to sleep here. hyunchul must be tired to get splashed with water. he looks especially exhausted because of the chair. - it wasn't funny at all. / - you don't need to wash.
- you can be edited out a lot. / - you should know. i didn't want to do that, but the director insisted. - he had given up. / - he blames the director. i have to warn you that you might be edited out. (he feels dejected.) i'm no longer a comedian because i'm not someone who is supposed to be funny. i guess you won't be able to appear on kbs programs. you're clueless.
you should have tried harder. there's something i really want to say. - please make it short since time's almost up. / - yes. i'll make it short. - two minutes are left. / - okay. - well, / - i'll give you 20 seconds. i've loved classical music since i was little, - and now i'm a conductor. / - ten seconds left. however, the professional classical musicians
see me in a certain way. - five, four, / - but i really like - three, two, / - classical music. - one. / - you'll be edited out. - zero. / - thank you. thanks for tuning in. we'll be back with more fun next time. - thank you. / - thank you. thank you.
