(Episode 1691)
Hello, everyone.
I'm Shin Hyunjun of Entertainment Weekly.
Chuseok is next week.
This Chuseok is especially long,
so many people are visiting their hometowns.
Drive safely when you head down,
and we wish you and fun and happy holidays with
family and relatives you haven't seen in a while.
Entertainment Weekly will now kick off with gusto.
Yoon Jiyeon and Kim Seunghye are up first.
We met 3 very distinctive Chungmu-ro actors.
They're Don Lee, Lee Donghwi, and Honey Lee.
There's great chemistry not only between the men,
who play brothers, but also among all three,
so it was a fun-filled interview.
Let's check it out in a bit.
Before that is this week's Hot Click.
The late Kim Kwangseok's wife Seo Haesun
issued a statement on the many suspicions.
We have that story.
And Entertainment Weekly went to the K-pop stars'
World Tour in Indonesia.
We'll click now on this week's Hot Click.
While alone, I sometimes think that
it's very torturous
(Suspicions about Kim and his daughter's deaths)
Suspicions have been cast on
the singer Kim Kwangseok's death and the belatedly
revealed death of his daughter, Seoyeon.
On Monday, the 25th,
Seo Haesun, central to this controversy, appeared.
(Late Kim's wife Seo Haesun will appear)
(Seo Haesun counters homicide allegations...)
(Source: JTBC) To explain her daughter's death
among others, she agreed to an
interview on a news program.
But her vague explanation
has been said to stoke more doubt,
and suspicions remain.
One of the lingering suspicions.
Why didn't she make her daughter's death known?
Of note is that Seo and the late Kim's family
have been in a legal battle
over music publishing rights.
The movie "Kim Kwangseok" also covers this dispute.
There is Seoyeon. (Movie "Kim Kwangseok")
Mr. Kim Kwangseok saved up the money
he mad to take care of Seoyeon and me.
Why my father-in-law?
Did he give us financial help?
In 1993, Kim signs a deal in his father's name
for 4 albums.
But when Kim died,
Seo filed a suit to verify the rights to the music.
Both parties agreed that Kim's father would get
the rights but pass them down to Seoyeon in death.
When Kim's father died in 2004, Kim's family filed
a suit detailing Seo's violations of the agreement.
In the 2008, the court sided with Kim's daughter,
unaware that she'd already passed away.
Seo addressed the allegation that she hid
her daughter's death for the lawsuit.
I knew I'd be at a disadvantage without Seoyeon.
So would I have harmed her? (Source: CBS)
Another allegation is that Seo had a lover.
There are rumors that before his death,
you were involved with someone in the US.
Is it true? (Movie "Kim Kwangseok")
We were just drinking and hanging out.
We hung out when I was there for Kwangseok's show.
It wasn't a matter for divorce or separation.
In November 1995, Kim and Seo
went to New York for his concert.
Based on Kim's diary, reporter Lee Sangho
contends that Ms. Seo had a lover.
(44 days before Kim's death)
(Lee Sangho's claim / Seo Haesun had a lover)
What exactly happened to them?
Information corroborating Lee's allegation was
revealed through one media outlet.
In records of Seo's lawsuits in the US,
a man was listed as her husband.
We met with the reporter.
(Park / Reporter) In November 1995,
the late Kim Kwangseok did a show in New York.
A man claimed to be a high school friend.
Seo co-founded a company in Hawaii with
this same lover, Mr. Lee.
Legal documents list them as married.
And their home address has been verified to match.
Seo founded a company only 2 months after
her daughter Seoyeon's death.
And there was a man listed as her husband.
We tried contacting Seo for an explanation.
We tried 2 days straight.
But Seo never responded.
The police announced that they will summon Seo
for questioning after Chuseok.
Addressing all doubts regarding Kim and
their daughter's deaths is Seo's duty as a wife
and mother so that Kim's beautiful music
is not tainted by suspicion. (Source: SBS)
We sincerely hope the truth comes to light
as quickly as possible.
Entertainment Weekly in Jakarta.
I'm overseas correspondent Kim Seunghye.
Entertainment Weekly is in Jakarta, Indonesia,
a major Korean Wave hub.
Music Bank, which has helped promote K-pop
around the globe with the World Tour series.
has returned to Jakarta for the 11th World Tour.
Park Bogum, Park Bogum.
Welcome to Jakarta.
The fans' excitement is already running high here.
Entertainment Weekly joins Music Bank's World Tour.
Let's check it out right now.
(Local venue brimming with fans)
I'm backstage at the World Tour right now.
Do you know who's behind me?
It's GFRIEND!
Hello, GFRIEND.
Seunghye looks like a baseball player.
How do you feel?
So excited. We received such a warm welcome on
this first visit to Jakarta, so we'll do our best.
Thank you for your love in Jakarta and Singapore.
We have to go.
Thank you.
I also met with EXO getting ready for their show.
So nervous. So nervous. I'm so nervous.
Many supporters of K-pop and Korea are here.
We love you.
See you soon on stage.
They can sing. They can dance.
K-pop stars that can do it all.
From NCT 127, Astro, and GFRIEND
to BAP's powerful performance
and EXO.
5 idol groups were here to impress.
Their fiery performances wowed the 30,000 fans.
The fans really enjoyed it.
And another person who enjoyed it
was yours truly.
Watching the show got me excited too.
I love you, Entertainment Weekly.
They're really enjoying it. They really are.
I love you, EXO.
I cheered the artists on the floor with the fans.
To express their gratitude to the fans,
the K-pop stars learned Bahasa Indonesia.
(Indonesian greeting)
But there's a hidden secret.
1, 2, 3.
What does it say?
It mean "holler."
Say it with feeling.
Manna Suwallaya.
What was that?
It means, "Are you having a good time?"
Jakarta was truly fired up
to the K-pop stars' surprise.
The audience was so enthusiastic
that we got excited as well.
I was a bit taken aback that
so many fans showed up.
Music Bank World Tour with Entertainment Weekly
airs tomorrow night, September 30.
Please tune in.
They'll make you laugh this fall.
I'm with the stars of "Brother." Hello.
My interview with the distinctive stars starts now.
I'm Don Lee, who plays Seokbong,
the older brother than sells the family heirloom.
I'm Honey Lee, who plays Aurora. Nice to see you.
I'm Lee Donghwi, who plays Jubong,
the younger brother that sells the family.
Presenting a film is the hardest,
but I'll try my best.
It's a comedy about a 100-year-old family secret
two nasty, wayward brothers discover upon
meeting a mysterious woman named Aurora.
I was actually cast a bit earlier on,
but when Donghwi joined,
I knew right away we were brothers.
What was the feeling you got?
What's going on here?
I told my mother I would be acting alongside
Don Lee in the next film.
And that we play brothers.
My mother got a good laugh out of it.
So I knew I had to do this film.
I'm curious who was the life of the party on set.
That was unquestionably our Mayomi.
His presence alone. He didn't have to do anything
but just wear a blue hoodie with a duck
or even just a mourning robe
and he would look adorable.
He seems like a big bear
but with a lot of cuteness inside.
Ma-i-con.
Mamoticon.
Thank you for the kind words.
Mr. Lee, you're the type that
unconditionally attends all premieres.
I can't wait to see who comes to "Brother"'s.
Who do you think will come?
A memorable premiere I recently went to
was that of the second "Kingsman."
Mr. Colin Firth,
I'll arrange your flight if you'll attend ours.
Really?
Just yours. I can't afford the other cast members'.
To get to know you guys better,
we put together an adjective talk segment.
Don Lee is a/an what star?
You can't sneak a peek.
(I saw it)
He's practically an emcee now, so he looks.
It took me aback.
Don Lee is a visual star.
Visual star.
Don Lee is...
Should we reveal the adjective?
Action star.
It got ripped. It's the action star in me.
I'm sorry about my powerful action streak.
You're not mad, right?
You're very buff.
I keep seeing your arms behind the sign.
Do you work out regularly?
I've mentioned this many times,
but I've sustained many injuries from accidents,
so I've gotten a number of surgeries.
I can't lift hundreds of kilos like I used to.
So I do light weight training slash rehab.
But it's very poignant watching this.
For him to get the "action star" title,
he suffered a fracture in his back
while shooting an action scene.
His shoulders are in bad shape too.
And he also hurt his knees.
He's like a general hospital.
Are you okay, Dongseok?
I should gradually move to verbal action.
Ms. Lee, the adjective there...
What kind of a star do you think it says?
I think it'll say "sexy" star.
- Will it? / - Just a hunch.
(Honey Lee is a role model star)
Role model star.
Even those older than me treat me like I'm older.
Some even say I'm like an aunt.
I guess I give off an older sister vibe.
You host a beauty program.
Between Mr. Ma and Mr. Lee,
who'd be more fun for a makeover?
Of course Mayomi.
If he were younger,
I'd love to try powder and lip tint on him.
He has that face.
I think our view ratings will shoot up.
Computer graphics, please.
You know? Pink lipstick.
Mayomi complete. Very pretty, right?
It's a very fascinating movie.
They bicker, but that in of itself is lovable.
It's even funnier than regular comedies.
"Brother" hits theaters on November 2.
Go, "Brother."
I'll go see it too. Best of luck with the movie.
Don Lee, Honey Lee, and Lee Donghwi.
I was itching for a comedy, and this one looks fun.
Break a leg.
Kim Saengmin and Kim Taejin has the next stories.
It's an Entertainment Weekly special series.
Korea's top 100 favorite 80s stars.
We'll make our way up from the 50th place winner.
Today's list is a lot of fun.
It'll take you down memory lane.
Join me in just a bit.
I'll probably be on that list.
I met with actor Kim Raewon,
who has it all, from acting chops
and box office draw to good looks.
Last time he was on Entertainment Weekly,
he promised to take us fishing
and serve us fresh sashimi.
And he stayed true to his word.
"Cook & Talk" with Kim Raewon begins now.
It was March 11, 2017.
Entertainment Weekly met with actor Kim Raewon.
We heard you can filet fish for sashmi.
Fishing is my hobby,
so when I catch fish out at sea...
We'll invite you for the "Cook & Talk" segment.
- I'll really do it. / - He'll really do it?
And to keep his promise 6 months later,
he has returned.
"Cook & Talk," featuring unprecedented ingredients.
Made with great care by a seasoned master.
Please anticipate this eating show with today's
legend, Kim Raewon at Cook & Talk.
It's a Japanese restaurant with a nice atmosphere.
This is where today's Cook & Talk begins.
With a handsome face
hot body,
natural acting skills,
Did you really have to be this perfect?
That scene really shows as much as Kim Saengmin.
You've kept your promise to Entertainment Weekly.
We really want to give our gratitude.
I must keep my promise.
So, what kind of food should we
be expecting from you today?
Couple of raw fish and...
This seems like a cooking show.
Looks like we'll be doing authentic cooking today.
So I've said before
there is a food that I'm into these days.
It's seiromusi.
We are introducing you the menu to today's
Cook & Talk with Kim Raewon.
Freshly caught rockfish, red seabream,
neatly piled salmon, and
variety of vegetables and meat steamed in
a wooden box that creates this Japanese-style
steamed meat with a fragrant wooden scent.
You've prepared this luxurious food, but
you're such a good chef. So we'll trust you
and be grateful for your cooked meal.
When we were shooting for the show last time,
you said you'lll eat the fish that we directly catch.
When I catch a dolphin in the summer,
I will bring it here myself.
Do you remember?
We tried to prepare for you to go fishing.
(Shocked)
Since you said you're so good.
Shall we test Kim Raewon's fishing skills?
How good is he?
Let's see how many you can catch.
Do you know how to use this fishing rod?
I don't think I know.
It seems you aren't really good at fishing.
(Speechless)
He has no words.
If you push, it will go straight down.
How will the rumored Kim Raewon's fishing skills
turn out to be?
Start!
I just have to do it, right?
Why aren't their mouths opening?
You caught one fish.
That is my son's toy.
A two-year old.
Even though it's just a fishing toy,
his fishing skills isn't ordinary.
You said you weren't good to me.
I got it. Yea!
Kim Raewon!
You're skills aren't ordinary.
What a great fisherman.
This is the fish Kim Raewon caught himself.
We will start making the raw fish.
We will start making the raw fish.
The first raw fish is...
It's so fresh. So fresh. It's the rockfish. Rockfish!
Rockfish, rockfish, rockfish!
A living rockfish.
- It's so fresh, right / - Yes, it's very fresh.
If you grab it by the tail, it can't really move.
Then after you lay it down...
It got so powerful!
It's alive, it's alive.
You have to knock it out.
(Hit hit hit)
Just by the sound alone,
it's like from a movie.
This isn't like Entertainment Weekly.
Entertainment Weekly is so great.
Things got so complicated
to promote this movie.
There's no promotion even in the middle
due to his focus on the cooking.
- Shall we try it once? / - Okay.
Look at my hands trembling. What do I do?
You're doing well slicing it thin.
No. I think it's worse when you slice it thinly.
Is this the perfect width?
While you do that, let's talk about the movie.
Kim Raewon's newest work.
"RV: Resurrected Victims."
It sounds really fun.
Please introduce how the movie is.
While doing this?
I was slightly nervous.
It's a mystery-thriller.
Some grandma who died in a car accident
7 years ago, suddenly comes back alive.
We have to use...
It became difficult to focus between talking
about the movie and cooking.
Anyway, please introduce the movie?
We will introduce the movie since he is busy.
Mom died.
She comes back to attack after her death
seven years ago.
A story about a struggling son who reveals
the truth about his mother's death,
the movie "RV: Resurrected Victims."
Isn't it your third time with Kim Haesuk?
You've worked with her in "Sunflower."
A Thousand Days' Promise", also. (Source: SBS)
You must think she's like your mom now.
Some staff members have teased me.
Since I actually called her mom.
It's not like the cameras are on us.
They were surprised I called her mom.
I feel like I'm comfortably talking to my mom.
Of course, I'm doing that since she's allowing it.
The next raw fish is the red seabream. Wow!
The skin of the red seabream is so tasty.
It was so hard to be patient being next to that.
- Should I give you a slice? / - Sure.
I think there needs to be time to practice.
I thought it was the size of his head
since it was so big!
How tasty it must have been!
Of course, it's delicious!
Isn't it great?
Rather than eating it with the sauce,
just the fish itself was tasty.
- Do you want some more? / - I want to eat it all.
(Groan)
Raw fish is definitely best in the fall season.
Red seabream, salmon, rockfish made together.
Doesn't it look tasty just from looking at it?
Should we show it directly at the camera?
Kim Raewon made it himself.
He prepared the freshly made assorted
raw fish with all his heart and soul.
What great skills!
This is awesome!
And also,
Let's see Raewon's 2nd dish.
A wooden box.
- A steamed dish. / - Ah, a steamed dish.
You have a lot of famous movie quotes.
The lines from "Sunflower" are receiving
a lot of love in the media.
Are you satisfied for taking it all?
Are you satisfied
for taking it all?
Are you satisfied?
I don't feel bad.
It's nice that they enjoyed the movie and
imitating me like that.
Even after all this time they haven't forgotten.
It's very nice.
Many are interested since you
are, in fact, single.
Aren't you lonely.
On a normal basis, I feel a bit lonely.
Do you eat or drink alone?
I don't drink alone.
In the past, I thoroughly enjoyed drinking.
Nowadays, I don't drink much.
What does this person mean to you?
The one who you are giving this to?
It's a very special person.
Someone I am protective of.
I think that's the best way to describe it.
Now it is ready to be steamed.
Good.
How does it feel to cook in front of the camera
in such a long time?
It was supposed to be a fun interview, but
since preparing the food was hectic...
I know you are busy with things, but I will bring
it over soon. It's in the middle of steaming.
I will get there soon.
Who is that coming into the studio?
The dish that Kim Raewon poured all
of his heart and love into.
The person receiving that lovely gift is...
It looks delicious!
Sit down. Sit down.
It's Kim Haesuk!
I made this just for you, mom.
I think I'm going to cry.
How tasty it must have been!
A dish filled with sincerity and love.
They look so good together.
What's the score out of 100?
110 points!
Whoa, 110!
He becomes a cute son in front of her.
It was more meaningful on Cook & Talk today
being able to share between special people.
It's going to be Chuseok soon.
Have an abundant and enjoyable holiday.
Thank you!
Mission success!
Entertainment Weekly supports your movie!
Hit it big!
We return to the comforting loving memories today.
Awesome!
I got 82% with Lee Jeongjae.
Great!
Ok then,
I'm going to do it with Wang Johyeon.

Stupid! Stupid!

She proved her acting skills in the drama
Eyes of Dawn." (Source: MBC)
It makes her the best star.

Are you really going to become a model?
I think I'm good enough.
She was discovered as a magazine cover model.
She looks like a romance comic book character.
She became wildly popular after her drama debut.
She did drama, movies

People love her for playing ladies.
But her past was very different.
In the 1980s
she was Korea's innocent beauty.
In school my friends and I

Then we laminated that photo.
It was like a fan shot.
We even photographed her car.

In her white outfit and straw hat,
she looks straight out of a romance comic.
Along with Kang Suzy she was one of the hottest
and most loved female celebrity by guys.
However she retired after her second album.
That's when rumors started to go around.
There was a rumor that she wore long skirts
to hide her freakishly hairy legs.
There was even a ridiculous rumor about her
being a man and being drafted.
She actually started working in fashion.
(She works in fashion now)
She performed again in 2010.
Ha Soobin still looks so beautiful.
Let's take a look at 30th place.
The original all-around entertainer Gu Bonseung.
(His song placed 1st as soon as he debuted)
This song hit the top of the chart last week.
It's Gu Bonseung's "Just For You."

The half-way dance.
Gu Bonseung was wildly popular upon his debut.
He even tried his hand at acting.
He debuted as a yuppie doctor and
he was as popular as the lead. (Source: MBC)
And despite his flawless looks he showed his
silly and familiar side on variety shows.
(But)
He stopped working to the dismay of his fans.
He made a comeback recently and
he still has his striking good looks.

He recommended Ha Huira be cast in his movies

What did you think of me at first?
How could I say that here?
They acted even more lovey dovey in the past.
They're a famous celebrity couple.
- We hope their love lasts forever. / - They're great.
I wasn't featured on the list today again.
Looks like I'll be ranked pretty high!
I'll be looking forward to the next episode.

Sorry about that.
I really hope I'm on the list next episode.
Next is Late Night Eatery.
This episode we'll talk about a hot issue.
We'll talk about movie journalism.
You'll see that later.
Before that, Kim Taejin... Oh, it's Kim Saengmin.
It's Kim Saengmin's Veteran.
For this episode of Veteran
our guest is much-loved actress Kim Heejeong.
She has another side to her.
She's quite the talker.
Let's hear her talk about her life.
I'll be on the list next episode.
In my 21 years of being a reporter...
The veteran reporter!
Wait... Jooe again?
Save Entertainment Weekly in my heart!
That was very cute.
Who are we investigating today?
The shark family...
She has a familiar face you feel like you've seen.
And she's great at acting like a middle-aged woman.
She can even do heart-breaking dramatic roles.
(Source: MBC) She's an amazing actor that
owns the small screen.
Any drama she's in gets amazing viewer ratings.
She's quite the mysterious one.
Tell her to come in now.
Veteran will start now.
Is this where the bank account fairy lives?
This place is very scary.
There's no such fairy here.
I already heard, Don't deny it.
Look at mine please.
I'll take a look later.
You sure are frugal.
Jooe profiler, give me her break-down.
Lady, affair, hit maker,
gold miss, multiple personalities!
Multiple personalities!
Did you understand all that?
I liked multiple personalities the best.
You two really practiced that a lot earlier.
You're answering question that hasn't been asked.
(Such perfect chemistry)
She's a regular.
So I thought about the question of what my
actual personality is like. I have multiple.
So what kind of personalities?
Bragging?
I do tend to brag a bit.
I think you need to in life.
What else?
There's a bit of everything.
I can be ditzy, tough,
innocent, pitiable or romantic.
I can be a bit crazy too.
We need to learn to be crazy.
You're crazy enough.
(Knock down)
Let's talk about how Heejeong started acting.
Jooe!
Yes!
Chung-Ang University theater major.
Debuted in 1991 as an SBS class 1 actress.
I took a theater class to do plays.
But I like to bark orders
so I worked in production.
And I was good at it.
So it became my dream to become a theater major
at Chung-Ang University.
I imagine there was a lot of competition to debut.
What did the directors back then
like so much about you?
That I was unrefined.
You got chosen for being unrefined?
A new TV station picked you for being unrefined?
Are you badmouthing my TV station?
They picked various people.
- They picked various people. / - Right.
It is important to have variety.
This is our profiler. She has various sides to her.
I do.
After debuting as an actress for a TV station
you played small roles in dramas.
But you weren't successful for a long time.
It wasn't hard playing small roles in the beginning.
I figured it was just something I had to go through.
I didn't expect to be successful in my 20s.
I had no desire to either.
I didn't think I was ready.
I doubted whether I could act as well
as some of my peers.
Were you ever afraid you'd play
small roles your entire life?
I was afraid I wouldn't even get the small roles.
I should be thankful to make a living as
an actress. Without those small roles, I couldn't
be an actress. That's what I was afraid of.
I was never afraid of playing small roles.
She wasn't hung up over the size of the roles.
She was just thankful to be acting.
That's how she built up experience.
Then you did "Marriage Clinic: Love and War"
which is hard for TV studio affiliated actors to do.
I actually wanted to do the show.
Honestly...
I thought, "Why don't I even get parts for that?"
What did that show mean to you?
It's what really launched me into popularity.
I was criticized for doing that show.
I got my feelings hurt too.
How'd you get over it?
I don't have the problem. It's those people.
And the way they see you.
It's not like I did anything wrong.
Of course.
Then why criticize me over that?
That's not my fault. It's that person's fault.
You never regretted doing that show?
Never.
I'd do the show again if I was in that situation now.
I enjoyed working on that show and I was happy.
I got to deliver long lines on that show.
I learned how to play the lead.
I started to believe in myself.
The show really helped me a lot.
Being an actress was more important to her
than what other people thought of her.
She endured a long period of being unknown
with just her passion for acting.
Famous Chil Princesses." 49.2%!
49.2%. Repeat it after me.
- "Famous Chil Princesses." 49.2%! / - 49.2%!
- "First Wives' Club." 40.2%. / - 40.2%.
Three Brothers." 36.9%!
0.9%!
Repeat it properly!
Wang's Family." 47.3%!
47.3%!
(Those are some amazing viewer ratings)
I'm sure it's hard to pick one,
but which of these dramas was your turning point?
"First Wives' Club."
I was shocked then.
I heard you were called King Kong
when filming "First Wives' Club."
What's the story behind that?
There's a scene where I pound on my chest.
They wrote articles about it.
Kim Hyeseon called me King Kong.
I guess that scene was memorable to people.
The pounding scene was popular. (Source: SBS)
She really left an impression on the viewers.
How I should deliver each line...
How I should emote...
Acting was so hard I considered quitting.
I didn't think I was good enough.
And that's the drama that made me felt that way.
Your 17 years of being unknown
was changed with "First Wives' Club."
Most likely.
Did you get a lot of calls after doing that drama?
Not a lot.
Just enough for me to stay busying and working.
Which I'm so thankful for.
Did you give yourself a gift?
For a job well done.
I got a new car.
That's the best gift.
I wanted a deeper answer.
You were so scary when you said that! I see...
You did various genres from period pieces to
modern pieces leaving an impression on viewers.
Now you're an amazing supporting actor.
You did 14 dramas and 3 movies over 3 years.
That's 17 projects total.
The movies I did were short.
I don't think I could've done
2 full-length films.
So it seems like I did a lot more work.
Is there a role you want to play?
I don't have one. I'm not sure.
That's why I'm curious.
Someone discovering a new side of me
or the type of project or role I'm working in.
That's what makes me want to work a lot.
So I just go for it
when I'm chosen by a director or screenwriter.
I always considered myself to be folksy.
But someone people say I'm like a city girl.
That's what I find to be amazing.
You are like a city girl too.
- How so? / - You're totally a city girl.
But you do seem more folksy.
Right.
You sure picked a lot of my ugly photos.
- Are you an anti-fan? / - He is a bit like that.
You should've told me. I would've brought photos.
Alright, alright.
When do you feel happy to be an actress?
I'm so happy when I'm on set.
I feel the most alive and happy then.
How do you want the people to remember you?
A familiar actress.
They could see me as someone distant
living a totally different life as them.
But I want to be seen like a neighbor.
You answered everything so truthfully.
Heejeong, thank you so much.
- Investigation finished! / - Finished!
Thank you.
Kim Heejeong is serious and sincere about acting.
- We'll be rooting for you. / - Me too.
- Thank you. / - I hope you continue to do well.
It's the era of movie journalism where
movies explore past incidents
that have been forgotten by time.
What is the true meaning of movie journalism?
Welcome to the Late Night Eatery.
You're a new face here.
What brings the goddess of Hongdae here?
Hello, I'm Lady Jane.
Lee Jihye got married recently.
So I'm here instead of her.
A substitute?
Or maybe I'll become a regular.
You're considering that?
She doesn't know how scary Jihye is.
If you want that position...
Have you seen this segment?
There's a signature clip...
There's a famous clip of you?
You need one to be in that position.
Jihye has one of her.
I'm sure there's one of me out there somewhere.
You do? Then...
- You'll accept me? / - We'll think about it.
Thank you.
Movie journalism.
Viewers probably heard the term before.
It's become a hot topic these days.
Movie journalism.
These movies are raising awareness of these
hidden incidents
and causing changes too.
By raising awareness
some of these cases are reopened again.
The movies make a difference in the world.
Which is why movie journalism is so hot these days.
Like "Criminal Conspiracy"
and "Suicide Made" about Kim Gwangseok.
It's because of the government.
They influence the press.
Things that should be reported
are kept silent and they're brought back up.
The American director Michael Moore
made a movie during the Bush regime.
And artists are talking about
Trump's regime now.
"Criminal Conspiracy"
sold around 250,000 tickets.
They say indie films
are a success if 10,000 people watch it.
The Reservoir Game" sold 110,000 tickets.
Suicide Made" sold 10,000 upon release.
And now it's gone over 60,000.
It's a hot issue these days.
We have to talk about "Criminal Conspiracy."
There are talks about the cultural blacklist.
Mun Seunggeun wasn't allowed to work for 7 years.
Kim Mihwa suddenly disappeared.
As a celebrity
your image is very important.
It's been revealed through the NIS
that they hired commenters to slander celebrities.
I'm amazed that it even exists.
I had a similar experience.
The bereaved the Sewol Fairy fasted to protest.
The members of the conservative party
once held a meeting.
I wrote some bitter remarks online about the incident.
I got chewed out a lot.
So many negative comments online.
So much more than I could've imagined.
I should be able to talk freely as a citizen
but I started to censor myself.
"Is it okay for me to say this?"
You should consider this when talking about politics.
It's your choice whether to say those things.
There's no way everyone will agree with you.
Some people might, but others won't.
It's natural for there to be opposing opinions.
Of course, they shouldn't make persona attacks
but it's natural that there
will be opposing opinions.
And if congress reacts to what you said,
then it becomes a big problem.
When we hold these debates we don't
expect these issues to disappear overnight.
But I wish this would gradually go away.
I think that's why we're here talking.
If we talked about this a year ago, we'd be gone.
Why do you keep talking in such extremes?
It's true. That's why we can talk about this now.
Kim Gwangseok has been a hot topic.
He was an amazing singer.
What did you all think of the movie?
We should think about
is that this could be a deduction.
Because the concrete facts aren't out yet.
It's not the truth.
You must keep that in mind.
If this becomes publicized
and they reopen the case and find the facts
that means the movie played a big role in that.
Because it brought up something
that was kept hidden.
The other movies we mentioned earlier
were about government corruption.
Suicide Made" is a bit different.
As it was mentioned
the movie is the film maker's opinion.
But this is what the press can do.
Reporter Lee Sangho once said this.
It leaves an impression but there's no proof.
If that happens in the press,
you could be doubtful.
You don't know if it's true or not
but it could raise suspicions.
The next is up to the investigations
and the public reaction.
This movie was also like that.
His daughter died and it wasn't reported.
And they started investigating that.
Seo Haejun came on a live news broadcast
and talked for a long time.
Did that silence some of your doubts?
It actually made things more confusing.
The more I hear about this...
We thought it was strange. What did you think?
How did you see it as a psychology expert?
What I felt was that
she seemed a bit strange.
Everyone felt that too.
If you watch her carefully
you'll see her fake laugh a lot
and use a lot of unnecessary gestures.
Whether or not she committed the crime...
She seemed very pressured.
It seemed like she was trying to stay composed.
The way she talked about her daughter...
I felt like it wasn't the typical way
a mother that loves her child would talk like.
You all thought the same thing.
She doesn't seem to realize how other
would think when she says something.
It's not like she was
trying to defend every case against her.
She came off more as
a woman trying to defend herself
against the entire world ganging up on her.
That made it a bit less suspicious.
She kept going in different directions.
We're all making deductions.
She just had to explain things
clearly about the man she knew best. But
she didn't which is why you all have doubts.
Rather than calling it a witch hunt...
- She was a bit... / - Seo Haejun was...
Haejun didn't explain things clearly
which is causing a lot of controversy.
She came out there to show she wasn't guilty.
And if she acted like that
despite really being innocent,
then that's really a shame.
She could be hated by many despite
- being innocent. / - That's true.
I really wish Seo Haejun
could come on our show to talk.
We'd just like to have a nice talk with her.
What's something to remember
about movie journalism?
Before, people that dug up the past
and tried to stir the pot
were seen as kind of a pain.
But now we've seen that's how
the truth is investigated and revealed.
It's becoming a bigger part of the culture.
Movie journalism could
also be used negatively.
Something can be singled out
and be misrepresented
causing someone to be misunderstood.
So I hope those movies aren't made like that.
A movie can actually impact real life.
Thank you for your notes
on movie journalism today.
- Great work today. Thank you. / - Thank you.
What did you all think?
Late Night Eatery will be back next episode.
Those are all the reports we have for today.
Next episode is a Chuseok special
and we'll be taking the week off.
Unfortunately, we'll see you in 2 weeks.
Be happy and have a great Chuseok!
