(He heard untold stories about the candidates)
(When he met with the mark men last week)
Hello, everyone. I'm Lee Gyeonggyu.
I am here today to meet
the people who have many sources
on the people I'm going to write about.
Don't I remind you of someone?
President Moon Jaein... (This fashion!)
President Moon Jaein hiked up
Bukaksan with the reporters
who exclusively covered him during the election.
I wore a similar outfit to what he wore then.
I wore a similar outfit to what he wore then.
Let me tell you who I will meet today.
They are the reporters who exclusively covered
the candidates during the election.
They're called mark men.
Here are the reporters.
(Five mark men who will tell us untold stories!)
Hello. Nice to meet you.
You all look very familiar.
(Mark men and Gyeonggyu's first encounter!)
Did you cover President Moon Jaein?
- No? / - No.
President Moon?
No.
You only seem to be interested in President Moon.
(No, no)
(I was just curious about the Blue House...)
You are wearing a similar outfit, too.
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Don't try to place me on any side.
I'm on the side of the current government.
(Here are the mark men of the candidates)
I'm from CBS.
(Park Geunhye and Moon Jaein are totally different)
(Reporter Kim Suyeong of CBS No Cut News)
I'm from Yeonhap News.
(Hong Joonpyo on his final campaign...)
(Reporter Hong Jeonggyu from Yeonhap News)
I'm Choi Munjong from the KBS Politics Office.
(Ahn says Korea has been ignorant of human rights)
(Reporter Choi Munjong)
Pressian.
(Crybaby Yoo Seongmin moved the youth)
(Reporter Choi Hayan)
I'm with KBS Politics.
(Sim Sangjung "The country with proud laborers")
(Reporter Choi Geonil)
(The mark men of the 19th presidential election)
Then...
President Moon hiked Bukaksan.
I heard that he hiked for 2 hours.
We're not hiking for 2 hours, are we?
20 minutes.
(Get Gyeonggyu to the National Assembly!)
Let's go.
You're all covering me today?
Shouldn't you choose who will be right beside you?
(Then it should be...)
(President Moon's mark man)
Candidate Yoo Seongmin's glasses.
No, these are mine.
- Candidate Yoo's glasses. / - They are similar.
It took months to get him to change the glasses.
You did that?
He had silver-framed glasses before.
But he looked too cold?
So he changed to black-framed glasses.
It took several months to change his glasses.
We change it right away when we get sponsored.
(They finally arrive at the entrance!)
Here we are.
Let's take a picture.
Why is this funny?
Let's take a picture.
Look friendly. 1, 2, 3.
(What is this feeling? Achasan?)
Since they lost the election.
Let's go down now.
(Get Gyeonggyu to the National Assembly!)
Let's go have some rice wine.
(Is this how President Moon felt?)
(When he hiked with the reporters?)
(While they are talking about the election)
Wait. Nice to meet you.
(Seems to be very clear about his intentions)
Please vote for me.
(People have gathered around, cheese!)
(Zines Party, Candidate Lee campaigns at Achasan)
I will make a great country.
(Here's another vote!)
Let's go.
(He voluntarily ends the campaign)
That was fun.
The candidates knew which region was on their side?
Sure. When they're there...
The mood is different.
The candidates may not know themselves.
Because people around them are cheering.
During the campaign period,
the candidates have such a tough schedule,
that it's normal for them to be sick.
They were actually not feeling too well.
If news got out that they are sick...
- That's trouble. / - Right.
People would worry that they may get sick often.
Ahn Cheolsoo said he would pour all his energy out
and collapse after the election.
But I saw him walking around after a few days.
So I asked him why he's walking around.
He didn't spend all his energy.
He said he left a little aside.
I asked him why.
He said he'd have to work immediately if he won.
(Just in case... Just in case...)
That's understandable. (He was quite prepared)
Aren't you tired?
I am very tired.
(He's quite kind today)
How did you get interested in politics?
You're writing a book on politics.
I just wanted to know what the candidates thought.
And how they faced the election.
Did they really think they'd win?
Those untold stories are interesting.
Reporter Kim Suyeong, do you get a bonus
because President Moon won the election?
If the candidate you root for wins,
it's nice in a way, but...
Other reporters are taking a break right now,
but I'm busier than I was during the election.
Because you have to continue covering him.
She got more work as a bonus.
I have more work to do.
If the candidate you're marking isn't who you
voted for, you're grateful that he lost.
Because you can rest.
(So honest)
Are you relaxed?
Very much.
Marking the person doesn't mean you vote for him.
We do it because we were ordered to do so.
(I just did what I was told to do...)
(After a short break...)
Why did he go hiking after winning the election?
A president normally has to work every day
for 5 years without a break,
so his advisors told him to rest then.
But he's been to the Himalayas several times
so he climbed up Bukaksan to take a break.
The purpose was nice, but
reporters in politics only get to rest on Saturdays.
Since the newspapers come out on Sunday
we only get to rest on Saturdays.
On Friday he suggested going hiking
and asked the mark men to join them, too.
There was a large sigh when he suggested it.
When the reporters complained that they were tired
he asked, "Doesn't it hurt your back
to lie down and sleep all day?"
It doesn't hurt at all.
We only get to sleep in for one day.
So the reporters called him "the manager."
(I just wanted to communicate...)
Managers tell the employees to
come and spend time together on weekends
and employees get yelled at by their wives.
(They walked on for another 10 minutes or so)
Let's turn around and take a picture.
We must take a picture with this background.
We climbed up a lot.
We came up too much.
Line up in the order of the polling scores.
- In the order of polling scores. / - Where am I?
Wait for me.
Let's go! We Like Zines!
(A fun walk up Achasan with the reporters)
(After they finish their hike...)
Last time, President Moon...
After the hike, President Moon ate
chicken soup for lunch at the cafeteria...
(President Moon ate chicken soup after the hike)
(Since President Moon did it, let's do it as well)
That's why we've come to a chicken soup place.
Let's eat up.
(Now it's time for the reporters...)
(To tell us the real stories about the candidates)
(As it was a tight election schedule)
(It was a tough journey for the reporters)
(We would like to hear the true stories)
(About the candidates from those who were closest)
(Let's hear those stories now)
I need to write about each candidate.
What was your first impression of Hong Joonpyo?
His nickname is Angry Hong.
His first impression is quite strong.
He's a little bit like you.
Angry Gyeonggyu.
- We're quite similar. / - Right?
Even things like this, "How frustrating."
No matter how many times I say it...
You're quite frustrating.
How frustrating.
I heard that I resemble Sohn Sukhee a lot.
- What? / - Where did you hear that?
That's false news.
(Awkward)
His first impression was quite strong.
I thought he's a strong person.
(Hong Joonpyo during the campaign)
I guess I'll make it this time.
(Freedom for the rich, opportunity for commoners)
When it comes to Hong Joonpyo...
He's most famous for his blunt comments.
He's a thief.
If Moon Jaein becomes the president,
I'll burn to death.
As I wrote articles, I thought some were too harsh.
Give us an example.
When you meet him in person,
he doesn't exaggerate himself.
He just says what's on his mind.
And then he regrets it.
He calls the next day to apologize.
(Ha ha ha)
He's human.
People usually think he's broad-minded and fierce.
Isn't he quite distant with strangers?
Yes, he is in a way.
It seems surprising coming from him.
He says it because he was traumatized in life.
I heard his life story.
He came from a poor family and
as a prosecutor, he went through some hard times.
That's why he isn't
friendly with people easily.
What did you think of Candidate Yoo Seongmin?
Candidate Yoo Seongmin was...
I thought he is quite sophisticated.
- Right? / - Yes.
I only talked to him a few times,
but he has this charm to get you to like him.
Really?
He's also a professional.
That's what I got from him.
He's a fool for his daughter, right?
He's a complete fool for his daughter.
He can't help but be a fool for her.
Even the background picture on his phone is...
- His daughter?/ - His daughter's picture.
If we collect all your votes, I will become president.
(His daughter cheered for her dad by his side)
(Yoo Seongmin's daughter sways people to vote)
(Yoo Dam continues to help her dad)
(His reliable, beautiful daughter)
He'd say, "Let's not talk about my daughter" or
"Let's not bring my family into this."
But whenever his daughter came up, his eyes...
He'd be like, "My Dam."
Does he usually yell when he's upset?
Or does he hold it in?
Candidate Yoo seems cold
on the outside.
But he gave me lots of feedback...
(He communicated with so many people)
Young reporters mostly liked
Candidate Yoo Seongmin the most.
That was most visible when...
There's an award the reporters vote once a year for.
It's called the Baekbong Gentleman's Award.
We choose the most gentlemanly politician.
Candidate Yoo Seongmin won this award.
That shows which politician is the most popular.
It's sort of like a popularity award.
What about Candidate Sim Sangjung?
Her first impression...
The country with proud laborers!
I will make that country.
(She was concerned about the reality of laborers)
(And hoped for a brighter future for the youth)
She wasn't excessive when she met people.
She followed her principles.
She's a bit comical.
She is full of joy.
(Right! Joy!)
(Can't stop the joy inside me)
(The dancing machine on her campaigns)
(Bounce, bounce)
She did look like it.
In terms of her personality,
she's shy and she gets perplexed at times.
I remember the first KBS Debate.
(2017 KBS Presidential Debate )
(On the day of the debate)
The country with proud laborers.
I'm Candidate No. 5, Sim Samjung.
Respected people of Korea...
She was quite worried about being on television.
She had a lot to be mindful of and she was nervous.
She was told to say the slogan and introduce herself.
She turns to me and asks, "What's my slogan again?"
Because she was nervous.
The country with proud laborers.
(The slogan she repeated so many times...)
Her mind was blank.
The slogan she said hundreds of times...
She couldn't remember it at that moment.
She was nervous.
Do you think I remembered it at the time?
We couldn't find the answer...
You nearly made one up.
Fortunately, the campaign manager came
and she remembered the slogan and proceeded.
I told the campaign manager about what happened
and he told me to keep it a secret until the election.
(I can reveal it now)
I can reveal it now.
It's fatal.
It's the party's slogan.
(Fortunately...)
The country with proud laborers.
I'm Candidate No. 5, Sim Samjung.
There was one thing that I felt bad for her.
She didn't have anything to wear.
She was on her way from her campaign in Ulsan.
That's why she was late.
She was still dressed from the campaign.
Congresswoman Chu Hyeseon
bought her some clothes from the mart.
- Two suits. / - Not a department store?
So someone bought her outfits,
but they didn't suit her taste.
She should've gone together to buy them.
So she didn't wear those outfits.
(She ended up borrowing the outfit from KBS)
That's what happened.
That's unfortunate.
This time, the debate was quite important
so every candidate had to be nervous.
Even Ahn Cheolsoo faced unexpected situations
and when he wasn't feeling in top shape,
his hands woud tremble.
And his lips.
(SBS TV Debate)
(Nervous hand tremor)
(His eyes are wandering, twitching lips)
(Jingle jingle jingle jingle up and down, up and down)
I think every candidate had that.
President Moon rolled his eyes.
What would you do if people find out it's a lie?
(Unstable eyes, they roll counterclockwise)
(After blinking twice, his eyes roll left and right)
(Roll)
- Roll. / - Right.
He does that thing with his eyes.
He rolls his eyes like this.
The brain sends the signal.
How was Candidate Ahn Cheolsoo?
His first impression
was nice.
(Candidate Ahn Cheolsoo's campaign)
(No politics can win people, no party can win people)
(In the end, people win)
(The candidate who dreamed of opening the future)
He is just like a typical engineering student.
Very similar.
Like a country boy who got good grades.
He is very smart.
You can tell just by looking at him.
Whenever he talked about new policies,
he would say top 3, top 5, top 7...
He would always number them.
Like students who get good grades.
He also has a great memory.
He was smart and got good grades,
but I'm not sure if he remembers me.
(Disappointed)
(He reported the news every day)
(And was present during the campaigns)
(And in fact...)
(He was always around the candidate...)
I greeted him and
he seemed to recognize me, but...
Even when you're shaking hands
saying, "Nice to see you, Reporter Choi" and,
"Hello" are quite different.
He never called me by my name.
There are many scriptwriters when I do a program.
A lot of the times, I don't know their names.
I just call out "Scriptwriter Kim."
Why? Because most of them are Kims?
Some congressmen do that.
If I'm facing them like this, they go... Oh!
There are some congressmen who are good at that.
If you go one better than that...
"When did I last see you?"
Some of us do this with our phones.
"I'm Reporter Choi from KBS." Some reporters get a
service to have their names pop up when they call.
I called for the first time and some answer this way.
"Oh, Reporter Choi. It's been a long time."
They thought they entered the name themselves.
They got confused.
I was calling them for the first time.
