(Episode 1675)
This is Entertainment Weekly, and I'm Shin Hyunjoon.
Hello, I'm Jung Jiwon.
It is the second week of June.
Where are your plans for today?
I think I can answer that question.
Since the show went through changes last week,
everyone has been saying it's gotten even better.
So everyone is in front of their TV now.
People all over the world are talking about our show.
This show is broadcast globally through KBS World,
and I heard it's so popular.
What exactly do you mean by "all over the world"?
First off, I heard that people in Saudi Arabia...
All right, sure.
Saudi Arabia? Who told you that?
I heard it from my close friend, Abdullah Hassan.
- So did he call you? / - Yes, he did.
What did he say?
- Sorry? Did you ask me what he said? / - Yes.
- Do you want to hear it? / - Yes.
Gosh! Seriously.
Then he said, "I love you, Entertainment Weekly."
All right, thanks for telling us.
- My apologies. / - Our show is global indeed.
As always, we have a lot of news prepared for today.
First up is Yoon Jiyeon and Kim Sungeun.
Yes, I'm ready.
We're digging up behind-the-scene stories
of hot news items
through the second Recollections Through Issues.
We'll also talk about the marijuana scandal
that happened earlier this week.
Please stay tuned.
Before that, it's This Week's Hot Click. This week,
we kept hearing about news related to marijuana.
Gain confessed that she was offered marijuana,
and T.O.P was discharged from hospital after four days.
This is This Week's Hot Click. Let's begin.
I was fuming. I was so angry.
The police have launched an investigation
due to Brown Eyed Girls' Gain's confession.
The photo she posted on June 4
on her social media page is what started everything.
Claiming that her boyfriend Ju Jihoon's friend A
offered her marijuana, she disclosed his name
along with the text messages.
Her boyfriend, Ju Jihoon,
was sentenced to probation for drug use in 2009.
Her acquaintance is said to have recommended marijuana,
saying it'd help her cope with her anxiety disorder.
Can he be punished for simply recommending it?
Verbal recommendation
can't be subject to punishment by the law.
However, if it included detailed information
on where to purchase it or how to consume it,
he could be charged as an accomplice.
The police will summon those mentioned in the post.
Let's wait and see what will come out of this.
T.O.P, who was hospitalized for a drug overdose
after being indicted for smoking marijuana,
was discharged from intensive care today.
(T.O.P hospitalized for drug overdose.)
T.O.P was finally discharged
after four days and revealed himself before reporters.
(T.O.P leaving the intensive care unit)
How do you feel now?
I'm sorry.
Do you admit to smoking marijuana?
- Please say a few words. / - How do you feel?
Sitting in a wheelchair, he seemed to have lost weight.
He apologized when he was asked how he feels.
(He was in a wheelchair looking thin.)
He was moved to an ambulance just outside the hospital.
(He apologized and said nothing else.)
The hospital's spokesperson stated that his guardian
wanted to move him to a hospital with private wards.
He'll be hospitalized again for psychiatric treatment.
T.O.P fell apart in just a matter of nine days.
What happened to him?
On June 1, he admitted that he smoked marijuana
four times at home with a trainee last October.
He must reflect on what he did,
and he deeply regrets his actions.
(He deeply regrets his actions.)
He's just been saying that he regrets what he did.
On June 4, T.O.P uploaded a handwritten apology,
stating that he deserves all punishment.
On June 5, he was indicted without detention
by the Prosecutors' Office for violating drug laws.
(He was dismissed from the conscripted police force.)
- Please say a few words. / - Please comment.
He hadn't been assigned to any position
since being transferred from the police band
to Task Group Four at Seoul City Hall.
The incident then broke out the next day.
- I was nervous. / - But that wasn't it?
- It's not a big deal. / - I took some tranquilizers.
- Really? / - Yes.
He took prescription tranquilizers before
going to sleep and didn't wake up the next day.
News of the incident broke out when he was
sent to a hospital nearby around noon.
He brought the prescription medication here.
I saw him taking the medication yesterday even.
Those in his division are saying they saw him
taking his medication and he didn't overdose.
However, the hospital confirmed
it was due to an overdose.
We have a positive result for Benzodiazepine toxicity.
Hence, we have concluded it was respiratory failure
caused by a sleep inducer overdose.
A suspicion on lax drug regulations has been raised.
The drug T.O.P overdosed on was Benzodiazepine.
We reached out to an expert for more information on it.
One tablet usually contains five mg or ten mg of it.
In severe cases,
patients are prescribed the ten mg tablets.
One must consume at least 20 tablets
for such side effects to occur.
T.O.P regained consciousness yesterday evening,
three days after he was hospitalized, and was
- discharged this afternoon. / - Do you admit to it?
- Please say a few words. / - Please don't push.
- Do you admit to it? / - Please say a few words.
He's been dismissed from the conscripted police force,
and he'll stand trial on June 29 without detention.
The court's verdict will not only decide
whether he can return to the force,
but will also profoundly affect his career.
(He is scheduled to stand trial on June 29.)
(Recollections Through Issues)
The marijuana issue
has been around in the industry before.
We analyzed the reasons celebrities are exposed to it.
Recollections Through Issues begins now.
(Recollections Through Issues)
Some claimed to have tried it for artistic inspiration.
Seocho Police Station
arrested several composers for smoking...
Last year, musicians including singers and composers
were caught by the police while smoking marijuana.
They confessed that they had been gathering to work
on music together and smoking marijuana habitually.
The list included hip-hop artist Iron. He said that
he smoked marijuana because
he heard it boosts hearing and concentration.
Kim Taewon also admitted making
Boohwal's second album under its influence.
Now that I look back, it didn't help at all.
Only you get pleasure out of it.
It ruins everything around you, but you don't know it.
Because marijuana smokers experience extreme emotions,
they think they produce good work under its influence.
However, scientists have concluded that is groundless.
(Recollections Through Issues)
It could also be due to psychological reasons.
They're often sentimental people.
Performing on stage or having to create something
can cause psychological stress or anxiety.
Such stress can lead to various psychological issues.
Sometimes, I'd just pinch myself randomly.
- To check if you're alive. / - Yes, exactly.
Recognizable celebrities can't visit doctors freely.
Recently, fans were shocked to hear Gain confess
about having been offered marijuana
by her acquaintance to overcome her anxiety disorder.
The recently indicted T.O.P of Big Bang confessed
on a TV show about suffering from depression.
It was when I suffered from depression.
- He cries more. / - Yes, more than he used to.
- He cries even at the smallest things. / - I see.
Celebrities rise to fame and are then ignored.
They're in the spotlight and then they're not.
The love from their fans or interest
brings them great joy.
When that doesn't happen anymore, they are left
to feel empty and anxious of their situation.
Hip-hop artist E Sens admitted to smoking marijuana
to overcome his fears
of not being relevant anymore in the industry.
Actor Kim Sungmin also resorted to
smoking marijuana to overcome
the stress of investment failure and insomnia.
Smoking drugs never solved any of his problems though.
The public turned on him after news of it broke out,
and that led to social phobia and depression.
In the end, he took his own life.
Marijuana shouldn't be an escape route for celebrities.
Since they're loved by their fans,
they should be more prudent and strict with themselves.
I'm Kim Sungeun with Recollections Through Issues.
A lot of dark news made the headlines this week.
I hope that won't be the case anymore.
Let's move on then and lighten up the mood.
Next up is Oh Inyoung, Kim Taejin, and Kim Saengmin.
Coming up soon is Veteran.
This week, I met with the trending Mr. Positive,
- Bae Jungnam. / - This should be fun.
Please stay tuned for his interview.
On today's Guerrilla Date, I met with Yoon Siyoon
and Kim Minjae of "The Best Hit".
They came very prepared for this interview.
They danced, they rapped, and they
brought the house down while walking down Hongdae.
You'll meet them in just a bit.
I was at the set of "Father is Strange",
the weekend TV series
that has been soaring in the ratings.
From how the actors are off-screen
to the stories behind some of the famous scenes,
you'll hear all about them right now.
("Father is Strange")
The mesmerizing TV series
"Father is Strange" is the talk of the town thanks to
its fun and realistic stories of a normal family.
Entertainment Weekly met the cast on set.
Laughter was frequently heard on the set of the show,
so please join me to meet the cast.
(The most popular series, "Father is Strange")
Rehearsal, cue!
(Ryu Suyoung seeks their blessing in marriage.)
We will never use separate rooms.
Ryu Suyoung seeks their blessing in marriage.
Being so nervous, he was drowning in sweat.
Congratulations on hitting 30 percent in the ratings
Thank you.
What's the secret to its success?
Me.
I'm sorry about that. It's really the cast.
The chemistry between us makes everything believable.
Also, how can I not mention Byun Hyeyoung?
- Byun Hyeyoung, you're up. / - I'm here.
My intelligence.
My gosh.
My personality.
I'm also sexy. All those combined
makes me the classy Byun Hyeyoung.
- And here is Lee Yuri in person. / - The ratings
are now over 30 percent.
What a relief.
I hope it's just the start though.
If Entertainment Weekly covers our show
for about ten minutes, we'll hit the 40 percent mark.
Please do so every week for us.
Now let's take a closer look into the scary but
adorable couple, Suyoung and Yuri.
What's so charming about you two?
We're unpredictable.
We seem to be in love, but we argue a lot.
We're close to getting married then we call it off.
That's how some real-life couples are.
- Let's get married. / - I don't intend to marry.
Hyeyoung,
let's break up.
They break up and make up time and time again.
It doesn't get any more realistic than this.
- They know how to play games. / - Are you good
- at this in real life too? / - To be honest,
I'm too old for it now.
My brain doesn't have a room for it anymore.
It's full as it is.
I'll only do that on screen.
- What does Suyoung think though? / - How do you
deal with the push and pull game?
Being in love lowers your intelligence.
Keeping a relationship in that state is impossible,
so you need to try and be smarter and smarter.
I'm sharing with you my wisdom as a married man.
Let's get married.
Just for a year.
After a complicated dating period,
they decide to tie the knot.
(Seeking their parents' approval)
- I want to marry her. / - I want to marry him.
- Please approve. / - Please approve.
But then a bigger obstacle showed up.
(However!)
Their mothers were the worst of enemies.
Now it became their mission to seek their approval.
Yuri stays calm and collected as she makes her case.
Just how will you make her happy?
Meanwhile, Suyoung...
(I'll cook and do the dishes.)
(We won't go to bed angry.)
(We won't ever involve our parents.)
(We won't ever sleep in separate rooms.)
I'll love her and be grateful forever.
When did he learn how to rap?
(That wasn't the worst of it.)
He even kicked his leg above the dinner table.
That's funny.
Yuri's family ended up bursting into laughter.
You can tell just how hard it was for him.
He had to deal with the spasms.
I just felt so bad for you while watching that.
- Yes, I was at war today. / - Right.
I was a rabbit dropped into a tiger's den.
You put on a very believable performance today.
Thank you. It's not easy seeking the parents' approval.
Were you acting from experience then?
Yes, I did think of how I was like too.
It's hard meeting your girlfriend's parents.
(They were able to get their blessing.)
Thank you, Father. Thank you, Mother.
(Suyoung's ad-lib that was cut during editing.)
Finally, Yuri's parents approved of their marriage.
It must have brought back memories
because he did a victory cheer.
(The director wouldn't end the scene.)
The real battle was yet to come.
(The mothers had a battle to fight.)
(A fur coat in early summer?)
Can you feel the tension between them?
You look like a gangster of some sort.
- Doesn't she look familiar? / - I saw her before.
I saw this look in a movie about thieves.
She once played a gangster in a movie
and paid homage to that when meeting the other mother.
Let's go.
The moment of complete utter tension.
Are you kidding me?
How dare you talk like that?
(Opinions collided making the dinner a mess.)
In the end, the dinner was ruined by their argument.
Your mother-in-law is
someone who has to have her way with things.
Well, I'm no stranger to them though.
How can we forget
the strict mothers-in-law who made her stronger?
You can never mask where you come from.
She was not only verbally abused, but she was
also a victim of physical abuse as well.
Someone should give her an award for her troubles.
I now have a new mother-in-law,
- and she's just as intimidating. / - That's right.
Mother.
Have a seat.
- Thank you. / - How dare you sit!
Anyone can tell that she's a piece of work too.
However, I do think that the show will prove that
my character can go up against someone so intimidating.
It's my personal take on the show.
There's another daughter-in-law
who has her work cut out for her too.
(Her husband's sisters are intimidating.)
Welcome to the world of in-laws!
What will come of your relationship with the sisters?
People used to be annoyed by the harassment,
but the viewers seem to be find it
more refreshing now.
- Really? / - They hope that I'm harassed more.
You should know that I have nowhere to go now though.
As your character from the series, can you ask
your sisters-in-law to go easy on you?
To my sisters-in-law. Hi, it's me, Yoojoo.
I know I annoy you.
It's not working.
- Maybe I still have a long way to go. / - I see.
Guys, I hope we get along.
They glare at each other every time they meet.
Sisters-in-law are uncomfortable,
but how are they in reality?
The two of you enjoying a meal together is unusual.
When we're shooting, we'll be like, "What's this?"
After that, we go back to being friends.
At first... What was the line again?
- "I'm Byun Hyeyoung." / - Right, that.
I was a bit intimidated by her acting.
- You were nervous. / - Yes.
Shall we steal the thunder at her wedding?
No one is able to handle them
when the three sisters put their minds to it.
Congratulations.
Wait.
My gosh.
Nice. Your poses are perfect.
- That's funny. / - I'm aware of her childhood mistake,
- but I try to / - He plays the eldest son.
cover for her since she's my wife.
- I pity her and... / - Be honest.
There's the scene where I get flustered by
your sisters' behavior during our wedding.
Did you feel pity or were you excited
when you saw it on TV?
It was satisfying.
- Whose side is he on? / - Who is on my side then?
Of course I pitied you.
Please say a few words as the eldest brother.
I hope you guys try to get along with her
since she's your only sister-in-law.
- Thank you. / - My husband.
- Thank you! / - We don't get along.
Thank you for your support.
- Thank you! / - Thank you.
We need your support.
Is there a couple the viewers should look forward to?
It's expected that Joon and Somin
will be in love soon.
They were once manager and celebrity,
but now they are siblings.
Feelings started to develop between them recently.
Joon went wild out of jealousy
when she talked with another man.
Don't make me irritated, okay?
- Let's eat together. / - He expresses it openly.
No, thanks. I'll eat with Joonghee later.
Enjoy.
- It's obvious they like each other. / - Good girl.
Joon is so good at acting.
- What? / - You should make it unexpected like this.
- Don't hesitate. / - You shouldn't miss this couple.
It's the good-looking youngest couple.
It's Hwayoung and Hyoseop.
- You learn fast. / - Look forward to them as well.
Many viewers are empathizing greatly with
the drama, "Father is Strange"
- because of its realistic stories. / - I have to go.
It showcases a retired father's sorrow
which his children can't know of.
(The sorrow of a retired father)
(A pregnant employee who is pressured to quit)
It's driving me crazy.
It showcases a pregnant employee's fears.
Will I take over this seat soon?
She might not come back after giving birth to her baby.
She speaks for all female employees who are pregnant.
I portray the sorrow of people in their 20s and 30s who
are unemployed, and therefore unable to get married.
I hope it brings comfort to a lot of the viewers
as things work out for the characters in the drama.
That's our goal.
You can do it!
My daughter once said this to me.
(Daddy, you have us, so cheer up)
All fathers in the world, you can do it.
Look to your side and you'll see your wife.
Look to the other side and you'll see your kids.
- So cheer up. / - Cheer up!
Dear viewers,
please look forward to watching our drama.
It'll be more exciting.
Please support our drama and Entertainment Weekly.
Thank you.
We'll definitely tune in to "Father is Strange".
(Entertainment Weekly)
We have two celebrities for today's Guerrilla Date!
They're young actors Yoon Siyoon and Kim Minjae!
Handsome actors who make the hearts of girls flutter.
They're really here.
They're back with a new drama, "The Best Hit".
It's the young and famous actors,
Yoon Siyoon and Kim Minjae.
They didn't hesitate in greeting their fans.
Their sincere behavior made more people fall for them.
Let's watch how their Guerrilla Date went!
- Siyoon did this before. / - Right.
But this is the first time for Minjae.
- Right. / - Did Siyoon give you any advice?
I gave him some.
I told him not to interfere whenever I talk.
I also told him to laugh whenever I make a comment.
That's the advice I gave. "I went through the same."
Since it's late at night,
you might want a closer interaction with your fans.
Or they might ask you for something intense.
- Is that okay? / - Not a problem.
- How about you? / - Sure.
What if a female fan wants you to hug her from behind?
- Can you do that? / - Sure.
I will do a backdrop after I hug her.
(Goosebumps)
- That's not good. / - He's so cool.
A backdrop will be the finishing touch.
I'm sure everyone knows about the drama,
but please explain a little bit about it.
Yoo Hyunjae is a famous singer in the 90s.
He accidentally travels to the year 2017.
The problem is, he's known as Hyunjae's son.
So you're the father and the son in the drama?
- That's right. / - He's my father.
And they happen to live in the same house.
Your character in the drama is...
I play an idol trainee who is searching for his dream.
I see.
Will viewers get to watch you dance and sing?
You'll get to watch us dancing, singing, and more.
I know he's good at singing and dancing, but you...
- Me? / - Yes.
I can do it.
I do half of it,
and the camera does the other half.
(The camera makes up for Siyoon's poor dancing.)
- The camera... / - Like this?
Good.
We've been walking for ten minutes so far.
So many female fans have joined us by now.
(Screaming)
Thank you. They're not staff members, right?
- No. / - They're not hired extras?
No, they're not.
No way.
Please come here.
This way.
Link arms with them.
She's a student.
Which celebrity
is the most popular in school right now?
- I can't tell you. / - Be honest.
Are you close to BTS?
(BTS is the most popular.)
She's way too honest.
- My mom is a fan of yours. / - Really?
(Flustered)
Siyoon isn't that old.
Don't say it like that.
- Do you know which drama they're in? / - I do.
- What's the title? / - You're promoting this drama.
So what's the title?
It's the best!
(Nonplussed)
She's so confident.
- It's the best. / - It is.
Raise your hand if you want to talk to them.
You're representing Siyoon's fans.
And you're representing Minjae's fans.
- Brag about your celebrity! / - It's a battle.
His face is so small in real life.
His face is small. How about you?
I think he's good at acting.
You're guessing?
She doesn't sound too sure of it.
- You're his fan. / - She's a soon-to-be fan.
Make an acrostic poem with their names.
Siyoon, help them out by saying each word.
"Yoon".
Watching "Youn's Kitchen".
- "Si". / - While eating spinach.
- "Yoon". / - Watch Siyoon's "The Best Hit".
I don't know what she was saying, but anyway,
- she managed to finish her poem. / - Exactly.
- "Kim". / - Kim Minjae.
- "Min". / - Minjae.
- "Jae". / - Please look at me.
He looks at her and holds her in return.
We have cute students now.
Show your amazing dance moves for them.
If they like it, they'll give you something in return.
Give them a round of applause!
They begin dancing.
Siyoon is impressed by their dance.
They're middle school students.
(Their dance doesn't go with their age.)
You're watching their unique dance right now.
I expected it to be cute.
Still, they're cute.
That's how men in their 40s dance.
But nothing is set when it comes to dancing.
- You liked it. / - Yes, they were so cute.
- Okay. Do you know Deux? / - Yes, I do.
♪ Look back at me ♪
I do.
- He's been practicing the dance recently. / - Really?
Siyoon is a member of J2 in the drama.
This group was inspired by Deux, a group from the 90s.
Let's check out how good he is.
(How will his dancing skills be like?)
Show them what you can do!
(I'm Yoo Hyunjae, a member of J2.)
He's really trying hard to promote the drama.
- He's cool. / - He is.
That's incredible.
- By the way, / - Yes?
we know you're good at rapping.
We are in Hongdae.
Sorry, but it's not rapping.
- Then what is it? / - "Rapping".
I see.
- It's different. / - You have to pronounce it right.
(Real.be, drop the beat.)
(His rap is the highlight of today's street concerts.)
(I'm the Eminem of Seogyo-dong at the moment.)
♪ I'm a wholesome guy with likable looks ♪
He's really good.
(Proud)
He can even do a head spin on the ground.
I'm serious.
These two men are so passionate.
(Siyoon wants to brag about his son.)
It was an exciting and refreshing date.
We thank the people for joining us.
Let's now watch their private interview.
(Siyoon and Minjae's Guerrilla Date in May 2017)
Thank you for your very active participation.
Will you join another Guerrilla Date
if you have the chance?
(He freezes when he hears it.)
What do you think, Minjae?
I'd love to. I'm serious.
Thank goodness you're still a rookie.
(Nonplussed)
I was just kidding.
I'm recharge every time I do a Guerrilla Date.
It was like that for me too.
I'm thankful that they cheered for us.
And we got to promote your new drama today.
Thanks again for your hard work.
We discussed their charms through social media.
- Ta-da. / - What's that?
- I got these from social media. / - Gosh.
I even named it.
"The textbook example of boyfriend pictures".
His pictures online made people go crazy.
His pictures are full of sweetness.
No wonder they're called "your boyfriend's pictures".
- Social media is where I keep my memories. / - I see.
His voice makes it sound even cooler.
- "Social media is where I keep my..." / - I mean...
Well...
You can always look at pictures taken years ago.
- I think of how I was in the past. / - I see.
We also got one from Siyoon's social media account.
- Here. / - I don't have an account.
One, two, three.
You can feel his manly charm
in this photo. It's so cool.
I'll hold it this way.
Don't touch it like that.
Hiding it will only make it look more weird.
When did you take this? Is this a model photo?
I think I took this only two months after
completing my military service.
You must have really felt free.
My hair was short.
They gave me a soccer ball and made me go naked.
- Is it why you're giving the finger? / - No.
That's not true.
- "Stop making me do things like this." / - It's this.
- It's my forefinger. / - I see.
We looked for things you have in common.
One thing is that you look like someone.
- Can you think of someone? / - My father?
Your father?
It's Jung Ilwoo.
There was this nickname I got for the first time
after becoming an actor.
- What was it? / - "Fake Ilwoo".
(Laughing)
That was the first comment I got. "Fake Ilwoo".
- How did you feel? / - What?
How would you feel if you were me?
(Boiling inside)
People also said you looked like Lee Joongi.
Don't get me started.
When the Fake Ilwoo incident happened
- "Fake Ilwoo". / - It was the same day.
- He must be a hard-working reporter. / - Tell me.
"Wait for Me, Lee Joongi".
(Wait for Me, Lee Joongi)
I was unknown back then, and he wrote that article.
- "Stop right there, Lee Joongi." / - Yes, like that.
It's time for Minjae. Who does he look like?
Here it comes.
Aren't they the same person?
- It's Yeo Jingoo. / - Right.
How should people differentiate you from him?
Differentiate us?
First off, in Jingoo's case... My voice is low too,
but his voice is like it's in the 20th basement level.
"Hey, did you eat?"
Like this.
- So his voice is low. / - You can't even imitate him.
- It's hilarious that he imitated Jingoo. / - I know.
Jingoo, are you watching this?
What do you think of each other's looks?
We know you two are famous for your handsome look.
When I look at him,
he shows everything which he has prepared
for four years, but he stays humble.
I even think he's the type I should aim to be.
I learn a lot from him.
- He was already a star when I was young. / - Right.
So when I heard I'd be working with him,
I felt strange to be honest.
There are so many things to learn from him.
- Well... / - Can I lean on you for a second?
They get along so well.
Who will you save first? Cha Taehyun or Minjae?
You can save only one of them.
- That's... / - Minjae.
- That was quick. / - Because he's here next to me.
(That's simple.)
He's my son in the drama.
- I should save him. / - I see.
How much money can you lend? You like him so much.
(That's a bit...)
First of all...
I don't have any money.
I have no money.
- I could lend him digital money. / - That would work.
- I could lend him my transportation money. / - I see.
(Money and friendship should be handled separately.)
It was twice as pleasant with the two of them here.
I hope they succeed in their careers.
We're rooting for "The Best Hit"!
Me too.
Thank you.
They're so cool.

- Today's profiler is Yein of Melody Day. / - Yein!
Who is today's target?
He has sharp eyes with defiant facial expressions.
He is muscular and has a great sense of fashion.
Both men and women can't help but fall for his charm.
He's very dangerous.
She's good.
Let's meet with today's veteran.
Hi there, my brother Saengmin.
Don't say that here! We need to keep it professional.
This is a scary place.
Is that right?
My goodness.
What's your name?
It's Bae Jungnam.
What's your job?
Let's say I'm an actor who was once a model.
We prepared a lot of tricky questions. What do you say?
I'm prepared.
- Have you been in a police station? / - Yes.
I only asked that as a joke but he answered it.
I was given an award for catching a robber.
- Weren't you scared? / - At that time,
the old taxi driver was asking for help so desperately.
He shouted out for help and I just reacted to it.
I turned my car around and went to catch the robber.
I ended up doing a good deed.
Let's move on.
You were born in Busan in 1983.
Your age can be considered both young and old.
I think it's the perfect age for me.
There are a lot of questions about your dialect.
They wonder if you've thought of changing it, and
- if you can speak in the Seoul dialect too. / - Sure.
Sure.
I can.
I can change about 80 percent of it.
But I have to think about it
before talking in the Seoul dialect.
But because I have to think about it,
it doesn't sound real.
I just hate to think before talking.
Of course, I can change it
if it's necessary for my acting.
You played a character in the movie, "Berlin".
You were a bodyguard.
Yes, I played a North Korean bodyguard.
You got to impress the movie industry.
They didn't recognize me.
I'm serious.
We'll show you. Let's watch the footage.
(Let's watch the footage.)
Watch what?
Hey.
Don't act like you don't know.
- I really don't know. / - Sorry.
This is really the clip.
He played a North Korean bodyguard in the movie.
His was very charismatic in it.
It wasn't too bad for me.
You were into the role.
I did my best.
- "The Sheriff in Town" must mean a lot. / - Yes.
He played the youngest member of a gang
who ruins the mood whenever he speaks.
I see here that Gang Dongwon was involved in you
being cast for the role.
- Yes. / - Tell us about it.
We enjoy going on picnics to the Han River
when the weather is good.
He invited the CEO and the staff
of the production company.
We had a drink and were having a meal together.
Then the CEO suddenly suggested the role.
I was dumbfounded.
The way he suggested the role was so familiar
that I almost thought he was a con artist.
I got a call the next day.
He said, "I'll send you the script first."
"Come for the audition two days later."
I read the script,
and I knew it was mine.
Dongwon must have been nervous for my audition.
He helped me with my practice before the audition.
- He's such a loyal friend. / - Right.
So you went to the director?
- I went. / - Okay.
- What happened? / - He saw my acting
- and cast me right away. / - Right away?
- After seeing my acting. / - I see.
I hear there's another reason why you were picked.
That's
because of this.
What is that?
You tried to act as a gangster, right?
You're such a cool model in modeling photos.
Weren't you worried about your image?
I acted in a short film called "Masquerade" in 2012.
To save my grandmother,
I dressed up as a woman and sold my body.
After managing to play that role,
I was okay with any role. I enjoyed every role.
It's just like when I began modeling,
I feel like I'm slowly going up.
I won't be greedy.
I won't lie or be fake. I will always be the same.
I want to learn and move up one step at a time.
That's how I want to live.
This investigation made me realize
why you are so popular.
You taught us the power of positivity,
- Yes. / - and we will never forget it.
- The investigation is over. Thank you. / - Thank you.
Thank you.
- He's great. / - We will always root for you.
Thank you.
We hope you'll continue to be successful!
(Entertainment Weekly)
I'm Seunghye. I specialize in interviewing cute men.
- ♪ I waited for this day ♪ / - She's wearing red.
Please welcome Seo Kangjun! Hello!
Hello.
(She's on a date with actor Seo Kangjun.)
Let's take a look at Kangjun's 24 hours.
- Let's check it out. / - Let's check it out.
- They're a good team. / - You wake up at 9 a.m.
As soon as you wake up, you make yourself handsome.
- When I wake up, / - What do you do first?
- I go to the bathroom first. / - To check your face?
No. It's to get things done.
- You get things done too? / - What?
I thought actors don't do those things.
- No, we're just the same as everyone. / - I see.
Let's check your afternoon.
- "Playing with a claw machine"? / - A claw machine.
When I see the machines,
the rest of the world fades away.
- I wouldn't call myself an expert. / - Okay.
- But I'm a semi-expert. / - A semi-expert.
- He must be quite good. / - He's a claw machine manic.
He even once got three stuffed toys in one go.
The process is what matters.
The thrill and the joy during the process
- is what you're paying for. / - I see.
You're the most passionate I've seen
- when you're talking about this. / - Am I?
- My eyes are shinning, right? / - They are shinning.
Let's check what you eat for dinner.
- Tuna kimchi fried rice. Do you know this? / - I do.
I heard you make kimchi fried rice quite well.
- It's actually tuna kimchi fried rice. / - Right.
The tuna oil is the most important ingredient.
Is there a dish you can make even better than that?
(This isn't paused.)
- I guess there isn't. / - There isn't.
(I'm busted.)
- Next is the bed time. / - Yes.
I'm sure you have a dream.
- Getting married. / - Getting married!
I want to get married and have children.
When are you planning to get married?

But I'll be too old by then.
(She's counting her chickens before they hatch.)
What is she saying?
I will continue to work hard. Thank you.
- Thank you. / - We're excited to see you again!
Kangjun is always handsome. Keep up your good work.
Seunghye met someone else this week.
Who did you meet this time?
I met Korea's three best actors,
Kim Myungmin, Byun Yohan, and You Jaemyung.
They were so close that I got jealous of their bond.
Their bond was as strong as their love for their work.
Let's check out the chemistry between them now.
"A Day" is famous for having many great actors in it.
Please welcome the cast of "A Day". Hello.
- Hello. / - Hello.
(Kim Myungmin, Byun Yohan, and You Jaemyung)
- You look amazing. / - They're all great actors.
You all have dressed very nicely to come to see me.
(Myungmin just laughs.)
- Our outfits match. / - He just laughed.
- It matches my dress. / - Yes, I'm surprised.
"A Day", which star these three great actors, is about
a man reliving the day of his daughter's death
meeting a man reliving the day of his wife's death,
with both of them
trying to change what happens that day.
I heard you took part in the casting process.
I wasn't really involved in it. Ever since
I realized the production company's interest in him,
I appealed to him to join us. We had work on
another project, and we always talked about this.
We will give Myungmin credit for his hard work.
Myungmin said that Yohan is
the first man who has even gotten him flustered.
I got goosebumps,
and I wanted to leave the place.
Why are you suddenly drinking some water?
It was the last shoot of "A Day".
Yohan didn't have anything to shoot that day.
When everyone was congratulating each other,
a man walked towards me with a bunch of flowers.
I didn't think it was for me.
But he kept walking towards me.
And he gave it to me.
- It was my first time to... / - Receive it from a man.
I've given other gifts to other people.
- Was it your first time giving flowers? / - Yes.
I've never seen two actors being so affectionate.
This movie is about a time loop.
I think it could have been really tough.
Yes, it was tough. It was the same over and over.
But it was slightly different each time.
I guess you need to eat well during the filming.
I heard you kept eating jjajangmyeon.
We were filming near a high school.
We filmed there for three weeks.
The temperature went up as high as 40°C.
Even in the army,
they make soldiers rest in that kind of heat.
- They let you sleep. / - Did we deserve it?
We filmed in the sweltering heat,
and we had to walk ten minutes to reach a restaurant.
So we just wanted to get food delivered there.
That hot asphalt road became our resting place.
People passed by on bikes when we ate.
- We cleared the way. / - Did they ask anything?
Then we ate again. We ate like that so many times.
- Really? / - Yes.
You must have gotten really tired during the shoot.
- Yes. / - You must have your ways to de-stress.
Your nickname is Mount Bukhan's Flying Squirrel.
- What do you say about it? / - I didn't make it up.
The people who manage Mount Bukhan
gave me that nickname.
- They hike very well. / - Right.
They thought a flying squirrel passed them by,
- Is that how fast you are? / - and it was me.
They said they were surprised to find out.
Jaemyung, what would you do if he asks you to join him?
- I don't like hiking. / - I already asked him.
- He won't come. / - I don't like sweating.
I like cleaning and doing laundry.
- That's feminine. / - I like having a coffee break
after doing the dishes.
- I love his voice. / - Please wash my bed sheets.
Okay.
Jaemyung, you're beloved in "Reply 1988"
as Dongryong's father.
People might think you're already married.
People do assume I'm married,
but they assume that I'm in my 50s more than that.
(He's 44 years old.)
- Myungmin is older than I am, / - Okay.
but it seemed even he felt uncomfortable
talking to me casually.
- You have a girlfriend, right? / - Yes, I do.
She is 14 years younger than you, isn't she?
- The age gap is 12 years. / - Oh, it's 12 years?
- Do you express your love? / - I do, but we fight too.
Recently, it was my birthday, but we had a big fight.
I had gimbap and cup noodles on my birthday.
You sound disappointed.
- He's funny. / - I love you.
He's a romantic.
We talked about the best day for these actors.
This one caught my eye the most.
Yohan, you only wrote down "sleeping" on the board.
It is what it says. I want to sleep all day long.
Oh, I see.
Let's take a look at yours, Myungmin.
I'd like to enjoy my hobby which is hiking
and sleep from 12 a.m. to 9 a.m.
This is my wish.
Wouldn't you get lost coming down at night
if you were to hike until midnight?
I'd like to try hiking up a mountain at night.
- Hiking at night? / - Jaemyung,
you have a few different things. What are they?
I tend to drink a lot.
I'm suffering from insomnia.
- I need to drink. / - Hiking will solve your problem.
- It's true. / - I should go on a hike with you.
You have insomnia because you don't hike.
You're right. When our bodies are tired,
- We fall asleep right away. / - we sleep well.
We won't have insomnia.
Dear viewers of Entertainment Weekly, our movie
"A Day" will be released on June 15.
We ask for your support.
And attention for our film.
We'll see you in theaters.
- Bye. / - Bye.
I'll make sure I watch your film!
I can't wait for the film.
- Hello. / - Hello.
The loveliest association in the world has been formed.
It's the first variety show with a mission
- seven female idol singers will do. / - It says I'm
- a writer here. / - It's true.
They will write the script and act.
The show is called "Idol Drama Operation Team".
Why don't I show you their charm now?
This looks fun.
- Hello. / - It's nice to meet you.
I'm really curious.
What does this team do in the show?
On this show, we personally write the scripts
- as the writers. / - I see.
The drama is a coming-of-age story about our days
starting from when we were trainees to idol singers.
I must congratulate you.
Your show has the highest ratings online
including the news and cultural programs.
The show has garnered over one million views online.
For this particular year, having higher ratings
than the news is really an accomplishment.
Somi, why do you think your show is so popular?
- The reason why our show is popular? / - Yes.
This is quite a unique ensemble cast.
The editing was good. It made our show into a fun show.
I watched our show two or three times.
I think that's the secret behind it.
- I see. / - It's time to have
an honest time with everyone here.
Who is the prettiest member
in the cast of "Idol Drama Operation Team"?
I'll give you three seconds to think about this.
One, two, three.
I think everyone got a vote.
Is this a tie all around?
Let's settle on that all of you are pretty.
(That's correct!)
It's hard to decide who is the prettiest.
Who is the life of the party among all of you?
One, two, three.
- There's two people. / - Somi?
Somi and Moonbyul got the votes.
I just think that I talk a lot without stopping.
She talks a lot without stopping.
You and I are the same, Somi.
I then went to verify their talent as writers.
Please read yours.
"Will you watch it or not?"
"You'll watch it, right? You'll know if you watch it."
- What's the title? / - "Promotion".
- It was "Promotion". / - I'm curious. I must watch it.
We did our best for this show. I hope you like it.
I hope you'll support each and every one of us.
- Thank you. We can do it! / - We can do it!
(Good luck to the cast of "Idol Drama Operation Team".)
Good luck to all you.
This is all we have prepared for today.
We'll be back next week.
- Dear viewers, be happy! / - Be happy!
("Suddenly" by Roy Kim)
