Taeseong, you were a successful baseball player.
You played for Korea. Why go into acting?
I had a lot of injuries since I was young.
I kept getting hurt and I wouldn't heal.
So I didn't feel like playing anymore.
I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision to retire.
Right. My parents supported me the entire time.
I've only played baseball since I was young.
I was worried about what I should do after I quit.
My dad told me to get a job
or take the SAT and get into college.
But that was impossible.
All I'd done was play baseball.
So it was really simple.
I lived right near Seoul Institute of the Arts.
I decided to go there since it was close to home.
I looked into how to get into that school.
The theater department didn't have a written exam.
So I started going to an acting academy.
And they had auditions for "Superstar Mr. Gam."
- I had experience in baseball. / - Great timing.
- How peculiar. / - It all worked out for you.
Everything fell into place.
A baseball movie.
So I applied. I was a player just 2 months back.
- 2 months ago... / - That's a sure bet.
So they asked me to coach the actors on baseball
and do the baseball stunts.
I doubled for the actors during some scenes.
Later on the director gave me a role.
I played Gu Cheonseo. That was my debut.
You debuted in that movie?
I played Gu Cheonseo of the OB Bears.
Everything worked out for you.
None of us meant to but we became actors.
The wrong path lead me to the right path.
"The wrong path lead me to the right path."
You kept working hard without giving up.
You played your first big role in "Blossom Again"
where you beat out 2,000 other applicants.
Your costar was Kim Jungeun.
- That movie was a hit too. / - He was amazing.
He was amazing then.
When he first came out in "Blossom Again"
he seemed like such a fresh new actor.
He had pretty features yet still looked strong.
I had a great feeling about him.
You wore a really flashy outfit for your audition?
Back then I was like Seungwoo.
No experience or any connections.
I had nobody to ask. So I searched online.
On audition information sites.
- Right. / - Sites that share information.
There's a lot of good info on those sites.
It said you have to stand out for auditions.
They ask you more questions that way.
- It makes sense. / - Or they won't question you.
They probably go through dozens of applicants a day.
I wore a New York Yankees jersey.
You wore a jersey?
Yes, a Yankees jersey and hat.
With baggy pants.
That was the trendy look back then.
I put a ton of wax in my hair then.
It looked like I got struck by lightning.
You put all your hair up?
You're not usually like that
but that's what the site told you to do.
- It said to stand out. / - So then what?
So they called me in for my audition
and then they told me to go wash my hair.
They said to come back after washing it?
Yes, right.
They wanted to see your face properly.
He got into their heads.
So I came back after washing my hair.
Why are you here? Why style your hair like that?
Why are you wearing a baseball jersey?"
- You got a bunch of questions. / - You really did.
I told them I wore the jersey because I used to
play baseball and I did "Superstar Mr. Gam."
And I told them I styled my hair
because the site told me to stand out.
- You told them all that? / - Yes.
They'd like that.
After telling them everything...
I bet that's when they started liking you.
- You sounded so innocent. / - And honest.
So that internet site wasn't wrong.
- You're right. / - The site was right.
What did the director say?
He told me I'd have to meet Kim Jungeun.
I was like, "Why would I meet her?"
That's when her drama got over 50% viewer ratings.
Right. It was very popular.
All of Korea loved that drama.
So you went to meet Jungeun.
It turns out I was auditioning for the lead role.
Weren't you shocked to meet Jungeun?
I thought a TV was walking toward me.
A TV...
It's like a TV just walked towards me.
Taeseong has that old school vibe we have.
Such a dated term for TV...
I used to do the show "Oh! My School."
- You were the host. / - I was the host.
Taeseong was on the show and he was hilarious.
He really stood out. He was like Kim Boseong.
He was funny. Didn't you have fun then?
I tried my best to stand out then.
Did you do research online again?
Not from that site. I went from my own experiences.
I was determined to stand out.
As if I just got off a motorbike...
(Motorbike)
TV and motorbike. Those are terms from our era.
Like I just got off a motorbike...
I wore a leather jacket.
And I got a lot of parcels delivered that day,
so I had to be available to take calls.
I wore a Bluetooth earpiece.
- Wow... / - You're so honest.
- Which makes him funny. / - He's a good guy.
You could've been a big variety show star by now.
But you didn't do many variety shows.
I got really nervous after my first variety show.
Because of who?
It's been around 13 to 14 years.
That's when dating shows were really big.
Like "Match Made in Heaven"?
I did the first episode of "Love Letter."
Kang Hodong was really scary then.
Why? Why was he scary?
Young people now know him as a comedian or host.
Then, it wasn't long since he retired from ssireum.
(Still like a champion)
- He was a senior athlete. / - You're right.
- So you were scared of him? / - Yes.
There was a game called Kick of Love.
Kick of Love...
That sounds like an early 2000s segment.
Female celebrities would stand and cheer for you.
Then the guys had to do
a flying kick to break a Styrofoam board.
Back then myself
and Hwanhee of Fly to the Sky got to the finals.
The board was over 7m high from what I recall.
We went at it for like an hour and a half.
You two got competitive.
Hwanhee is very competitive too.
We ran out of Styrofoam boards.
Hodong called me over.
"You shouldn't be like that. You're an athlete.
It doesn't look good if a former athlete
gets too competitive."
That makes sense.
So he told me to lose.
"Wouldn't it be better to lose?"
But you didn't want to lose.
I could've gone 2 to 3m higher.
I had only quit baseball 2 years ago.
So I could've kicked the board
but I missed it on purpose.
So after the shoot ended the writers asked me
why I missed when I could've kept going.
I told them
what Hodong told me about being too competitive.
"He said that just to end the shoot faster!"
(That was Hodong's big plan)
I found out later.
As you said, Hodong was probably hosting and...
He kept making adjustments.
You were afraid of him as a senior athlete.
It could be surprising when you first meet him.
- He's so spirited. / - And he's a big guy.
These days your weight gets you cut from auditions?
I went to many auditions after that
but I kept getting cut.
They said I was too dark and fat.
But I wasn't fat then.
I just had 26-inch thighs.
Since you had just quit baseball.
Baseball players are big with big thighs.
They said I was too big to be an actor
and that I had to lose weight.
I was over 90kg and I've lost over 20kg.
You have many methods for dieting.
I'm like a dieting expert.
- How do you diet? / - You're an expert now?
There's no diet I haven't tried.
What diets have you tried?
You have to know your own body first.
I empty myself when I start dieting.
Then I watch what I eat.
If your veins are filled with sodium
and your stomach is all stretched out
it's pointless to go on a diet like that.
So you empty yourself through medicine?
They sell medicine that cleans your intestines.
- There's a medicine for that? / - With lactobacillus.
So you flush everything out. What next?
I drink water, empty myself until my stomach shrinks,
and then I start to watch what I eat.
What's the left-handed diet?
If I eat with my right hand,
my brain tells me how much meat I should grab.
Really?
And that's how much I end up taking.
I can't grab as much as I want with my left hand.
So I kept eating with my left hand.
I've tried that before.
You end up using a fork.
I wanted to eat but I couldn't use my right hand.
Saeho, you could become a lefty.
I kept using my left hand. I got better at it.
You can grab beans later on.
I found myself picking beans up with chopsticks.
So how much did you lose doing that?
The most I lost was 10kg in 2 weeks.
I should try that.
So it's good to empty yourself first.
Yes, and some people have been misinformed.
Men exercise when they go on a diet.
That's true.
But men develop visceral fat first.
And women tend to starve themselves for diets.
But women develop subcutaneous fat first.
It should be the opposite. Men should starve
and women should exercise.
That's pretty useful.
- Very useful advice. / - Since he was an athlete.
I have to lose weight somehow...
What should Saeho do?
Clean out his intestines first.
Cabbage is really good for you.
He's recommending cabbage for Yang Baechu.
The doctor tells me to detox instead of lose weight.
They say I'm filled with toxins
like a poisonous toad.
It's good for your health to get rid of that.
- I should lose some weight. / - Not too much.
You're a veteran actor of 29 years.
