(Episode 1699)
Hello, everyone.
I am Shin Hyunjoon of Entertainment Weekly.
There were many tragic news this week.
Kim Saengmin and Yun Jiyeon prepared the news.
(Kim Saengmin) It saddened
our hearts early this week.
SHINee's member Jonghyun passed away.
Jonghyun always shined so bright on the stage.
We will go over the times we spent together.
That will come up a little later.
(Yun Jiyeon) But first,
here's this week's HOT CLICK.
This week, the long-term couple, singer Taeyang
and actress Min Hyorin announced their wedding.
Also, an older singer
Na Aesim passed away this week.
This week's HOT CLICK begins now.
Who will catch the bouquet?
Hyorin should.
(Yes. I'm getting married)
Hyorin, if you caught the bouquet,
it's time for you to wear the wedding dress.
They're the official couple in the industry.
Taeyang and Min Hyorin just announced
their wedding. Here are the details.
They announced their wedding on December 18.
Taeyang made a posting with a picture of him and
Hyorin on his SNS and announced the news himself.
The couple whose ages are 2 years apart
met 4 years ago. (Source: Dispatch)
They met when she starred in his music video
in 2014. Then in June, 2015 they admitted
to being together and were seen by the public
many times enjoying their dates.
Taeyang often refers to Hyorin as
his musical muse and sang about his love for her.
He's one of the top romanticists, right?
They're planning to hold the ceremony
in February, 2018 before he joins the army.
On the day, Bigbang's first member gets married
Entertainment Weekly will be there, too.
Older singer Na Aesim passed away on
December 20 at the age of 87.
Na, also known as singer Kim Hyelim's mother,
passed away due to an illness.
Na Aesim debuted in 1953 with a name
that means "I love my heart."
She was loved by the public for her exotic looks
and husky voice, and left many hit songs such as
"When years pass by" and "Don't ask about my past"
and became one of the top singers in her time.
She also starred in several movies
and became the singing star of the silver screen.
She left her stardom in 1980s
and many of her fans missed her.
Na Aesim went down in history of
Korean pop culture. May she rest in peace.
SHINee's member Jonghyun was found dead.
Unbelievable shocking news were reported.
SHINee's member Jonghyun passed away
at a young age of 28.
He bid farewell to the world.
On December 18, many fans were deep in sorrow.
The unexpected news of his death were reported.
According to the police, around 4:42 p.m.
his sister got a text from him that hinted
a suicide and reported it to the police.
Around 6:10 p.m. he was found unconscious.
He was taken to the hospital immediately
but did not survive.
The police concluded the cause of
his death is suicide and closed the case.
(Kim Heesu / Emergency medial technician)
The place was filled with smoke
when we got there. After we ventilated
the area we found him unconscious next to the bed.
By the time we got there, he wasn't breathing.
Meanwhile, Jonghyun's best friend
Nine, a member of group Dear Cloud
posted Jonghyun's will on her SNS
on the following day of his death.
In the will, Jonghyun talked of the pain of going
through depression and comforting words for him.
(Waves of mourning spread through SNS)
People who couldn't let him go easily
wrote about their feelings through their SNS.
Many of his colleagues and (KangTa)
fellow singers went to his wake (Yu Heeyul)
for two days to mourn for his death
and pay their respects.
His fans also came and paid their respects.
(Morning of December 21)
And on December 21,
Jonghyun's body was carried out for burial
with hundreds of his fans watching.
(He was carefully carried out by his colleagues)
At the Christian funeral ceremony,
the rest of the SHINee members stayed by
Jonghyun's side as the chief mourners and carried
the coffin with the members of Super Junior.
Many of his colleagues were present
to bid their farewells to him.
They expressed their sorrow and
mourned for his death with tears and
bid their farewells.
He became a star that will shine forever
in the midst of many people's tears.
He has left us now.
I'm sure you are sad and in tears now,
but we'll meet again. (Source: MBC)
Meanwhile, the afternoon after the burial
Key revealed his handwritten letter to
Jonghyun that he couldn't deliver
and made people sadder.
May he rest in peace without pain.
We will remember for many years to come.
(I look forward to seeing myself at age 28)
(I made a promise to myself)
(I promised myself that I would become an artist)
(who does what he loves in 10 years)
Just 12 days before year 2018
a farewell came unexpectedly.
He was only 28 years old.
Jonghyun who died so young was a talented artist.
(Source: Movie "I AM")
Hello. I'm Kim Jonghyun.
I just signed the contract so here I am today.
I'm very nervous.
I will work hard to achieve my dream.
I didn't have any close friends before I debuted.
After school, I just came and went into no. 2 room
in the basement, turned off the lights,
locked the door and practiced singing for 6 hours.
Then I went home and skipped meals often.
(He had to give up so much for his dream...)
He gave up on many things for his dream to
become a singer and worked very hard.
As the result, he finally debuted.
He was loved by many under
the group named SHINee.
But he didn't stop there.
He started out by writing the lyrics of "Juliet"
and became a true musician.
I tried to work on my own for my first solo album.
I produced most of the songs on my solo album
so they're mostly about me.
It was inevitable since i wrote them.
He became a solo artist with his own songs.
Most of the songs in his albums were his own
and to his last moments
he was always concerned about his music.
He sparkled more than anyone
when he was up on stage.
This song was written for everyone to enjoy
their loneliness together so I hope you
think about that as you listen to it.
We won't be able to see him anymore,
but the songs that he left behind
will comfort us. (Source: YouTube)
The lyrics that he wrote
contained words of comfort
and the lyrics that seem to speak for his feelings
saddened the listeners even more.
This has been Blue Night Jonghyun.
I will come by to rest. (Source: MBC)
I hope you have a good night.
Come by tomorrow again to rest.
He was also a heartwarming radio DJ
who gave words of comfort at night.
(Entertainment Weekly interview)
(21 March 2015) I think even 8 or
10 years later the five of us will be working
together even more than we can imagine now.
He was the singer who led K-POP so
even his fans overseas mourned for him.
People are mourning for him
in front of the embassies.
While people are piled with sorrow,
we try to remember you this way.
"The person who comforted many."
May you rest in peace.
(Jonghyun, we will remember you)
Na Aesim and Jonghyun.
May you rest without pain and loneliness.
May you rest in peace.
Taejin and Saengmin prepared the next news.
I'm here with "Kim Saengmin's Veterans."
I interviewed actor Lee Heejun
whom we can meet in movies and dramas.
A profound talk with Lee Heejun will be told soon.
As we are wrapping up 2017,
I have heartwarming news.
It's called "It's on Kim Saengmin!"
Kim Saengmin who has been loved by the public
all year long gave his love back to the people.
The details will be told a little later.
But first, I met with actor Lee Byunghun and
monster newcomer Park Jungmin.
Let's take a look right now.
Movie "My World Only" is about
two different brothers who meet for a first time.
It's a highly-anticipated movie of 2018.
I watched you two doing an interview earlier.
You two looked like true brothers.
You speak in a similar tone.
I lowered my tone on purpose.
You two suit each other well.
So you're the older brother, right?
Sure. Do I look younger than he is?
(You want me to be older?)
Is that what you want?
This is your first time working together, right?
I saw him many time at award ceremonies last year.
They first met at an award ceremony as a Rookie
of the Year and the Most Outstanding Actor.
So when we first met
it felt like we already worked together before.
How did you feel when you first heard
that Park Jungmin would play your brother?
If you look at our characters in the movie
the older brother is a former boxer and
the younger one has savant syndrome.
I wondered how it would look when
these completely two characters meet.
I was surprised the whole time during the shoot.
What did you work on the most for this film?
In order to play the over-the-hill boxer...
- Regarding my looks? / - Yes.
Funny thing is, that the director and I discussed
which hairstyle would be best for the role.
Then I happened to get my bangs cut first.
Just after cutting my bangs, I looked like Joha.
So I took a picture of myself and sent it to him.
He liked it very much.
People must've reacted differently with you.
- They recognized you at once, right? / - No.
- Not at all. / - Not at all?
Even with my hair this bright.
Do they just stare at you?
I think they just think I'm a neighborhood bum.
(I will work harder)
People didn't recognize you either, Byunghun?
There were many scenes where I had to
pass out flyers on crowded streets on Daehakro.
It'd be hard to do a shoot without any troubles.
So we hid the cameras and
I went out there and passed out flyers to people.
That's how we filmed the scenes.
People just took the flyers from me and walked by.
Many times, people just left
without recognizing me.
You were not disappointed, were you?
(This isn't a paused scene)
You must've been disappointed.
This is getting sad.
Yes.
I couldn't look them in the eyes
and pass out the flyers.
You boxed for a drama 20 years ago, right?
It was for drama "Beautiful My Lady."
He already played a boxer in a drama before.
It must've felt different to play it again.
I had to practice boxing for my role.
I wasn't just a little has-been.
I took my pose and I was covered in sweat.
I was like, "I'm totally over the hill."
All right.
I built my dream by watching all his works.
- An Lee Byunghun's admirer. / - Right.
It's like the dream has come true after
Korea entered the top 4 in the 2002 World Cup.
I studied his acting.
I watched him change just little things and
change the entire nuance and was amazed by it.
What's this though?
In an interview in March of 2016 you said,
"I have no such thing as a role model."
I didn't say such a thing.
There are so many actors whom I respect.
In another interview you said,
"I'd like to follow the footsteps of actors like
Song Gangho, Hwang Jungmin and Bae Sungwoo."
That...
- Someone else for footsteps. / - No, no.
Someone else as role models.
So different actors for different reasons.
I listed many actors, but
they only wrote those names.
So you respect them all
and want to follow their footsteps, but...
Lee Byunghun is my role model.
- We've come to a conclusion now? / - Yes.
I've never seen him sweat like this.
I'm drenched in this area.
You'll realize how beautiful, fun and touching
it is to meet someone...
I think by watching this movie, you'll be able to
relate to all those feelings that you feel in life.
Go, "My World Only"!
I look forward to watching the movie.
Good luck to both of you.
They put a lot of work into this.
This is more special than "Guerilla Date"!
Is this a true story?
For the first time on Entertainment Weekly
"It's on Kim Saengmin!"
Here's today's star.
He's the top star of 2017. Kim Saengmin.
(The star of the star Kim Saengmin)
- Hello. / - It's the archaeopteryx!
Despite the cold weather
the bank account fairy has come to Gangnam.
Pay attention to this historic moment.
We begin "It's on Kim Saengmin!"
"It's on Kim Saengmin." Is this true?
I've thought of many ideas and
I'm not young or anything.
So I thought I'd share food with people.
You're going to make it yourself?
Sure.
- And the menu is? / - Spicy rice cakei.
That was something I totally expected.
He will go up against "Yoon's Restaurant."
He'll have the best cost-to-benefit ratio.
This is "Kim Saengmin's Stingy Restaurant."
It'll open soon.
Don't miss it.
You're one of the top stars this year.
How does it feel?
You're on "Guerilla Date."
I don't think I'm popular enough for this
but around the holidays, it's hard to recruit
top stars so I think I was their substitute.
You think you're being used as a substitute?
That's what I think.
No matter how good of a reporter I am
it won't be good enough for a veteran like you.
So why don't you hold the mic yourself
and do the interview?
Ask them why they like you.
Go.
- Hello. / - This is the stuff.
- Where are you from? / - Gangnam.
Where are you off to?
I came to see you.
Really! Why do you like me?
I guess she doesn't.
That looks warm.
- Was it cheap? / - No!
- It was expensive? / - Yes!
Next time, buy things that are on sale.
Unbelievable.
Let us go try the food
that you made yourself with everyone.
You two look great.
This is something very rare to see.
"It's on Kim Saengmin!" Let's go.
You two look great together.
At Kim Saengmin's Stingy Restaurant we have
the national menu that we love in the winter.
Spicy rice cake, fried food and sausages.
It was so popular that people stopped
and waited in line to taste the food.
The restaurant is open now.
You can see that many people are here today.
Many people are here to join us in
this historical moment that won't happen again.
Is the food ready?
Yes!
Please shout it out! "It's on Kim Saengmin!"
"It's on Kim Saengmin!"
Here's the first guest.
Welcome. Hello.
What does Kim Saengmin mean to you?
A person who gives me food.
Oh my. (He's just a spicy rice cake man)
Let's talk about his charms.
- He's cute. / - She said the word 'cute.'
Please show us a cute face. One, two, three.
Oh no.
We can't close the restaurant now.
Let's try a bite.
Try a bite. He made it himself. How does it taste?
Is it stupid or great? One, two, three.
- Great. / - Great. Very good.
Thank you.
I personally think you two have spent
a lot of money today for the holidays.
What did you buy today?
- Coffee. / - How much did you spend?
$4?
$8 in total?
What do you think about that?
- Stupid. / - Stupid.
Is it wrong to drink coffee in this cold weather?
One cup of coffee is enough for the two of you.
Very good.
That's why we'll only give you one serving.
- Share it. / - All right.
They're a couple.
Kim Saengmin.
from the "star" cafe.
A cup of coffee costs over $6.
What do you think about that?
I say "double stupid."
As you watched Kim Saengmin on television,
was theresomething you wanted
your boyfriend to take after?
- His handsome looks? / - Oh, handsome looks.
Give us extra fried rolls for that.
This is a trick stupid.
- I'll give it to you. / - Great.
Let's meet the next guest.
- You're here alone? / - Yes.
You came here alone to meet him?
If he were your boyfriend
what would you like to do?
- I want to spend lots of money. / - Spend money.
I don't want to date her.
You can go all out with spicy rice cake instead.
Thank you. Enjoy.
These guests look extraordinary.
What do you do?
- I'm at a hospital. / - Are you a patient?
I'm sorry. Are you a nurse?
- I work at a plastic surgeon's office. / - I see.
If Kim Saenming were to get plastic surgery
what would you recommend?
Surgeries for his jaws and wrinkles.
I see. You said that right away.
You have a chance to get a hug from him
or get spicy rice cake from him.
She chose a hug.
She's waiting for his hug.
Here we go.
Kim Saengmin is giving a hug for the first time.
It looks quite disgusting.
It looks awkward and nice.
He didn't serve expensive food, but
he poured his heart to repay the love
so it was a valuable moment.
We'll continue with an indoor interview.
I'm here with Kim Saengmin, the star of 2017.
Hello.
You were so shocked by the interview last time
so this is the real interview for you.
It's an honor. I don't think this is right though.
You seemed to enjoy it.
Really? I was too nervous to remember what I did.
I've never seen you wear that outfit.
You've had a very meaningful year, Saengmin.
This is your receipt for 2017.
You were the top star for entertainment programs.
You're the promising emcee of Korea.
Do you agree?
I want to be the promising emcee.
I admit that I want to become the next best emcee,
but everything else is just an exaggeration.
The must to become a star is a catch phrase.
You've nailed that. Stupid and great.
How many ads were you in with that?
I know.
How many? (Persistent)
More than five.
I heard there were more than 10.
I've never seen you wear that sweater.
I borrowed it for this interview.
Just let it go. Oh gee.
Can I borrow $50,000 from you?
No.
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha)
Why are you doing this?
You and I are very different.
What's unfortunate is that
the Entertainment Awards Ceremony won't be held.
Aren't you disappointed by that?
I haven't wished for that for too long.
When I was asked to be on today's "Guerilla Date"
I refused at first.
I didin't think I was good enough
to be interviewed you, my favorite reporter.
So even if there was one,
I wouldn't have been so happy.
- No. / - I want us to succeed together.
He's such a kind man.
I know it wouldn't excite you much,
but the production crew prepared this.
What is it?
This is the trophy you should be receiving from
Entertainment Awards. So we prepared this for you.
The star who shined 2017. Kim Saengmin.
Please applaud to congratulate him.
Congratulations.
Wherever I go in the future,
I couldn't help but mention Entertainment Weekly.
No matter which interview I am part of.
(Taking back the trophy?)
Are you taking it back?
I have to rename it and give it to someone else.
Here you go. Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Let's look at the third item.
Kim Saengmin and Entertainment Weekly.
It says "The first time Saengmin is paying,"
and left blank. How much are you willing to pay?
I think we should know beforehand.
- Our shoot ends so late. / - It's today.
It's close to 11 p.m.
Right. 50 minutes would be enough.
Then everyone should go home.
- What would people drink? / - Beer.
Those who can't drink will have... Water.
So the total would come out to be $500?
I'll pay about $320
and I'm Shin Hyunjun will pay the rest.
Why would I?
- That's ridiculous. / - Why would I?
- He's son of the general. / - Hey!
I'd be rude.
I look forward to it.
Here's the last corner.
It's a lie detector.
You're always diligent and honest.
Would you be that way in front of a machine?
Other entertainment news shows.
If they offered to pay you 5 times more
would you go to them?
You have complaints.
What do you mean?
I get paid way more than I deserve.
(Kim Taejin doesn't get a raise for a while)
- Are you contemplating? / - Absolutely not.
It's already been 20 years.
I believe in you!
I do!
Why is it taking so long?
(A lie)
Which program would you prefer?
Entertainment Weekly.
I've been on this program every week.
Thank you so much for loving me.
I will do my best.
Thank you.
Let's work together for years to come.
Even next year. Kim Saengmin, great.
Your eyes look bigger.
- I've been a reporter for 21 years. / - It's him.
The fossil of reporters.
By the way, who are you?
The bell fairy who came to earth.
I'm Jin from Lovelyz.
Are you really the fairy of bells?
- Ring ring. / - Oh gee.
Who are we investigating today?
From crazy madman to a sweet guy....
He's a dangerous man who's taken over
movies and dramas.
Tell him to come in right now!
Kim Saengmin's Veteran starts now.
You're so famous.
What's your name?
You invited me here and ask my name?
Your name!
Very, very stupid.
(Shy)
You're so different from whom I thought.
Really?
It's such a great fan of yours. This is great.
Thank you.
This is what many people think.
You're a mysterious star.
You weren't exposed to the public much.
- Oh really? / - Secondly...
No, no.
(Oh my)
Not many people would do that gag.
You used to be an engineering student?
Yes. I orginally majored in chemistry.
What's this? You're the hunk of Daegu?
I don't believe it.
There are so many handsome stars
from Daegu starting with Son Yejin.
I was once picked from the street
as one of the most handsome people in Daegu
so I just wanted to brag about that.
- People went crazy? / - Not enough to be a hunk.
He's too handsome to be cooped up in a lab.
I went back to Korea National University of Arts.
I pretended to go to college
and went into an acting group.
I cleaned and put up posters.
I started out by starring in children's plays.
Children's plays were aired on TV
during the day so my dad saw me on TV.
He asked me about it so
I told me that I wanted to become an actor.
He opposed it very much.
He was afraid that I'd struggle too much.
I brought $300 with me and lived on my own.
I started out by starring in a play.
It must've been scary to move to Seoul
with just $300.
It cost $150 to live in a window-less room.
So I divided the rest by 30 and
planned to spend only $5 a day.
I looked for a part-time job the next day.
That's how I lived.
- Great. / - That's great.
- That's great. / - Exactly.
Were you always the main character in a play
for a project after that, to be honest?
No, not really.
But I always got good reviews.
I'm sure he starred in movies, too.
You investigated his past, right?
I'm a little doubtful.
Why?
In his resume, he said he was in
movie "The Yellow Sea," "The Secret Sunshine"
and "Special Investigation Unit" but
I can't find him anywhere.
This is "Secret Sunshine."
Let's find him.
This is "Secret Sunshine?"
I was in it for 2 seconds.
Have you found Lee Heejun who was
in the movie for only 2 seconds?
Let's take a look again.
Isn't he shining? Where is he?
There.
He's just standing there.
I had a specific role, but they deleted my scene
since my part was getting too big.
But the director wanted me
to come out as an extra
so I did it and he bought me drinks.
Song Gangho also bought me drinks then.
And I came back home.
Aren't you more curious about this man?
We dug into his life as an actor.
Aren't you someone's son in KBS?
I read that somewhere on the internet.
Aren't I someone's son from KBS?
People doubted your hometown.
They thought it was Yeouido.
This is what happened.
I got a call after work.
I enjoyed your performance.
How many plays do you want to be part of?
I thought it was a joke.
So I said, "Four."
So he said, "Let's do four" and hung up.
Then I really was in 4 plays.
One of the directors was
the director of "My Husband's got a family."
So I kept working.
I was able to work on KBS all year long.
With a random call he received, he was able
to see a ray of light in his acting career.
Now we must return to Daegu.
I'm curious about how your parents reacted.
They must've shed tears.
They loved it and they bragged about me.
When I went back to Daegu I had to sign
autographs in stores and at churches.
With my parents.
"The Legend of the Blue Ocean."
This also became an issue.
I chose to do it without looking at the script
because she was the writer for the other drama.
She told me "I have a perfect role for you. Wait."
I didn't know that was the role.
So you moved on to movies next?
"Helpless" in 2012.
What word comes to mind when you hear that?
Lee Sunkyun and I were drinking and
he told me, "I'm in a movie called "Helpless"
and I think I can get you an audition.
Study the story.
This is all I can do for you."
You prepared for it 99.9%
and that's why you passed the audition.
I passed the audition and got the role.
I was in the movie.
What about movie "Elder brother?"
- Just the interesting story? / - Yes.
There were about 40 kids starring in the movie.
I was the bad guy. I played the role that
made them do bad things to earn money.
I thought I should be mean to them
so that they could be scared of me and
the cameras would show that.
So I tried to look scary
and I only smiled with the directors.
There was a scene where I was supposed to fight.
After the cut they said,
"Oh, that looked so real."
I turned bright red.
(I'm scary, right?)
Doesn't it look real?
Then we interviewed you for "A Special Lady."
Kim Hyesoo was in "The Queen of Office."
She's charming, right?
After the last shoot of the drama...
She hugs everyone.
She's the queen of hugging.
After the shoot, I hugged her.
I saw that the entire staff was lined up.
- She hugged everyone. / - How funny.
This time he was a reporter in movie "1987."
He has something to say about that.
What was your role?
A student of Seoul National University died
while being tortured.
I am a reporter who uncovers the story
that everyone else tried to cover up.
- I see. / - So I felt more burdened.
I had to do a good job.
You must relay that energy to the viewers.
This is what's so great about being an actor.
I'm always studying about people.
Right.
You recently directed a movie?
There was this story I wanted to tell so much.
So I ended up writing a scenario of a short film
and 17 colleagues decided to work with me
with no guarantees.
I produced the film with my own money.
It's in the editing stage right now.
His acting is full of souls
as he responds to the public's questions.
How do you want people to remember you?
I hope my acting can be of help
to people living in this time.
Whether they are interested, happy,
joyful or pleased.
It'd be great if I can add that to people's lives.
Actor Lee Heejun whom we have a lot to learn from.
Thank you so much for the interview.
The end of the investigation.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We will always cheer for you, Lee Heejun.
And Kim Saengmin.
December 22, 2017. It's a historic moment.
After the live shoot
he will buy us a meal for the first time.
We all have been...
Please stop.
Starving for the last 2 days.
I'm so dizzy.
But we will only eat $300 worth. We wish you
the best of luck in the future, Saengmin.
Yun Jiyeon has prepared the next news.
I interviewed Jang Kiyong
who has become the rising star of 2017
after he starred in drama "Go Back Couple."
I wondered how he melted so many women's hearts.
The secret was in his shy eyes.
The star who will shine in 2018.
An interview with Jang Kiyong is coming up.
It's time for the "Late-night Talks."
Today, we will talk about the eventful year
we had in 2017 in the entertainment industry.
Let's take a look.
There were so many ups and downs
in this industry in 2017.
What are the events and accidents that
made people laugh and cry over the year?
This is our last gathering of 2017.
We lasted longer than we thought. I'm impressed.
(Congratulating themselves)
It's so encouraging.
We were able to come thus far because...
You know why, right?
Let's take a look.
(Late-night Talks's main video)
("Is She Laughing or crying") What is that?
And what is this?
Why don't you each say a word?
I've been your fan for so long, Hyunjun.
I've succeeded now.
I was able to be on the same program with you
so I think 2017 was more memorable for me.
I hope they air this on television.
- They usually don't though. / - Smile.
(#Late-night Talks #Valuable relationship)
2017 was quite eventful.
There were many joyous news.
What were some of them?
The most recent one is the Song-Song couple.
When they were in "The Descendants of the Sun"
I'm sure many people wished that
the two will become an actual couple.
That's what I heard.
It actually became a reality.
That was very nice.
It was the wedding of the century.
People from China flew a drone at the wedding.
Their every move became an article.
There was a rumor that Song Joongki bought
a house that cost more than $1 billion.
Even when Song Hyegyo came out for the first time.
She was so beautiful even after getting married.
Just like you became so beautiful afterwards.
When you got married
we did an exclusive on your wedding.
Please support me and love me.
Thank you.
To be honest, we were scolded by our bosses
- for that. / - I know.
For doing an unnecessary interview.
(Laughing out loud)
- You all... / - Aren't you laughing too loud?
Even I think it's so funny.
There were also many other weddings.
Rain and Kim Taehee got married, too.
They dated for 5 years and
finally got married in January.
They even had a daughter in October.
Joo Sangwook and Cha Yeryun got marrried.
Lee Sangwoo and Kim Soyeon got married.
Lee Donggun and Jo Yoonhee got married, too.
Many have become couples after
co-starring in a drama.
While there were joyous news,
there were also news that angered the public.
The top issue in 2016 was sex scandals.
But in 2017 there were many drug-related scandals.
Bigbang's TOP became a huge issue.
He was sentenced with 2 years of probation
and a fine of $12.
Since he was sentenced with a probation
many people complained that they were too lenient.
TOP was forced to leave his position as the police
and will serve his duty as a public service worker.
When celebrities cause trouble
while they serve their military duties,
the public tends to become
even more enraged or disappointed.
The National Police Agency seems to
have decided they'll no longer recruit
celebrities as the police.
There were others who were
involved with marijuana too.
Yoon Cheoljong who was part of band 10cm
with Kwon Jeongyeol although he left the band.
Actor Ki Jubong was indicted for smoking it too.
Another issue was that singer Gain exposed
that she was suggested to smoke marijuana.
So several people were under investigation
including Gain herself.
In 2017, there were other stars
who offended the public, right?
For example, in case of Gil
he was involved in drunk driving several times.
Super Junior's Kangin.
People knew that he drank and drive many times.
Then he also assaulted someone while being drunk.
Even the fans of Super Junior
complained that he was a nuisance to the group.
At the time, they were about to make a comeback.
In case of Yoon Jaemun,
he was caught drunk driving
and caused some damage on his work.
Then he made a comeback later.
But he came into an interview drunk
and his bad behaviors were exposed to the public.
The public was quite disappointed by that.
What's on their mind when they do that?
They apologize to the public for drunk driving
and then they end up doing that again.
When you are drunk, your ability to
make good judgment is compromised.
So what happens is that
instead of making a rational decision
they rely on their past memories.
That's scary.
That's why they end up making the same mistake.
- Because they're drunk. / - Right.
They repeat their mistakes.
It'd be nice to be able to prevent it, but
accidents usually occur unexpectedly.
The problem is when the mistake is repeated.
Celebrities usually apologize to the public
when they are caught doing something wrong.
They should remember that it's a grave promise.
I hope they think deeply about
how they should behave in the future
and how to live their lives.
There were many stars who became
an issue for something bad, right?
I must mention Yoo Ahin.
It was called the "Zucchini Gate."
A netizen posted something on his SNS while
using a zucchini as an analogy to Yoo Ahin.
Then Yoo Ahin retorted by writing,
"Have you ever been beaten by a zucchini?"
That's how the issue got started.
Then the case took another turn.
It became a battle of the sexes.
Yoo Ahin was exempt from his military duty
because of his health and
that bothered the public as well.
Then the zucchini event happened.
It could be a problem that a celebrity made
such a remark to a non-celebrity.
But from Yoo Ahin's point of view...
Celebrities can voice their opinions, too.
SNS has become the window of communication.
But as you know, the communication
isn't always good.
The best thing to do when you are emotional
is to step back and do nothing.
Your thoughts become clearer after that break.
You can have more impact
when you're not emotional.
In 2017...
I still can't believe it.
On October 30th I was...
receiving so many calls and texts so suddenly.
Kim Juhyeok.
Actor Kim Juhyeok...
Actor Kim Juhyeok was killed
in a car accident in Gangnam.
He was such a great friend.
He was always a great actor, but
- it was his second Golden Ages. / - Right.
He was starting rise as a promising actor
and that's when the accident occurred.
That's why the news sounded even more tragic.
He was working on several productions, right?
There were "Heungbu" and "Drug War."
Fortunately he finished the shoots for them.
He was also starting movie "Rampant"
but it was still in the early stage.
After the accident, the role went to
actor Kim Taewoo.
May he rest in peace.
There were other tragic news this year.
Actress Kim Yeongae passed away.
She hid from everyone that she had
pancreatic cancer and acted passionately on
a KBS drama to the end.
She showed her passion for acting by
hanging on to her role to the end.
Yun Sojeong and Kim Jiyeong...
The godfather of folk music Jo Dongjin passed way.
There are some stars who are ill, right?
Actor Kim Woobin was diagnosed with cancer in May
and he's focusing on getting treatments now.
I've been emceeing for Entertainment Weekly for
8 years and promised myself this.
No matter how close they are to me
I would never mention personal stories on air.
But I'm going to break my promise today.
Kim Woobin texted me last Sunday.
That day, I prayed for him at church.
I always pray for him.
And that evening he texted me.
We must've had a connection.
He wrote that he's doing much better.
- What a relief. / - He's doing better.
- I hope he gets well soon. / - What a relief.
What do you wish for in 2018?
I hope this program is more successful.
(Production crew, "Whoa")
I really think it's a great program.
They are our scriptwriters.
I want to hear news of Lee Jihye giving birth.
I will watch for my ovulation day.
Thanks for being with us in 2017.
That comment was aired!
That was quite a comment.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
(Go, "Late-night Talks!")
(Recording higher than 10% viewer ratings)
(A successful year for Hyunjun and Jihye!)
"Late-night Talks" is so much fun.
The star who will shine 2018.
He will be remembered for drama "Go Back Couple."
Here is Jang Kiyong. Hello.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
He showed up like a comet
in drama "Go Back Couple."
The super rookie that we found in 2017.
The star that will shine 2018.
An exciting interview with Jang Kiyong
will be revealed right now.
You said you're very nervous.
My hands are...
I'm going crazy.
Why are you so nervous?
More than anything, I'm so amazed.
I can't believe I'm here
with Entertainment Weekly.
My heart is racing right now.
This is not just an ordinary interview.
We had Park Bogum here with us before.
We also had Sunghoon and Ryu Junyeol.
They started out as the stars who will shine
and are actually shining bright.
First of all, I am very grateful.
I am more determined than anything
to succeed as an actor.
Let's take this time to go over your resume.
Okay. My name is Jang Kiyong.
My nickname is "Jjangki."
Because you're really cute?
No?
My close friends gave me this nickname in school.
I was born in 1992.
I am 186 cm tall and weigh 65kgs.
How much asset do you have?
I have enough to buy food at a Korean snack place.
For how many people?
I was really curious.
A minimum number of people.
What I want to say...
I'm so nervous that I'm about to go crazy.
Don't be nervous. We won't harm you.
We can't talk about you
without talking about drama "Go Back Couple."
You melted women's hearts as
you played Namgil in the drama.
I think I'm right.
He was such a great actor.
I like you.
In your opinion,
how similar are you to your role Namgil?
In terms of looks I think we were quite similar.
But in terms of personalities,
I am a shy person.
You're not the type to ask out
a woman if you have feelings for her?
If it's someone I really love
I think I could bring up courage to ask her out.
I don't know what that'll be, but I'm jealous.
After you starred in "Go Back Couple"
what changed the most for you?
Older people started to recognize me.
They started to call me "Namgil" like their son.
Even an old grandmother recognized me.
I was very touched by that.
But unfortunately, it is time for you
to let go of your role, Namgil.
When it's time to say good-bye, I'm cool about it.
Should I leave?
I'm sorry. I accidentally dropped it.
(Perplexed)
I'll take that home with me later.
See you on Friday.
Isn't this the title of IU's song?
It's a meaningful song for me.
Starring in the music video gave me a chance
to let myself be known to the public.
In the end, you two kiss in an alley.
Did that noise really come out in the video?
I thought my heart would explode.
Your heart races quite often.
You said that about being on our program today.
I get nervous quite easily.
I remember being very nervous during the shoot.
I have a question.
I heard that IU wanted me to star in
her music video after seeing me
as a model. Is that true?
I'd like to ask that to IU when I have a chance.
Go ahead and ask.
I just did.
- You asked me. / - I have to ask again?
IU, I heard that you asked yourself to
get me to star in your music video. Is that true?
(Embarrassed)
IU, we believe that you'll answer his question
on Entertainment Weekly in the near future.
I was surprised to see this. This is completely
different from how you look today.
A man with swag.
I'm surprised, too.
But I really love music.
I love hip hop, ballads and pop songs.
I looked you up and that's not all.
You released an album!
I love to sing and I was young.
He's talented in many ways!
I wanted to do it.
We must hear you sing then.
♪ I met you right after ♪
His voice was amazing.
♪ I took off my school uniform ♪
♪ Do you still remember those days? ♪
♪ What were we so happy about then? ♪
♪ Just the two of us ♪
I'll stop here.
That was wonderful. I'm sure the viewers saw
another charming side to you just now.
It was really great.
"I will achieve this in 2018."
Let's end the interview with this.
I, Jang Kiyong, will repay people who cheer...
You're totally interviewing him with feelings!
And I loved it.
For me as an actor with love in 2018.
I will work harder to become
a better actor in 2018.
I wish the best for all of you.
This has been Jang Kiyong.
We look forward to seeing more of him in 2018.
Thank you.
This is all we have for this week.
Entertainment Weekly won't be aired next week.
So we will see you in 2018.
It may be a little too early, but
Happy New Year, everyone.
