(Are you the most handsome member of NCT?)
(Of course.)
(They all have superior genes.)
("Stars with Superior Genes Special")
(Im Changjung, the all-around entertainer)
(Do you know anything about Changjung?)
(Yes.)
(I know the bar.)
(That summarizes his 30 years of career.)
(When did you come to Korea?)
(Do you live alone? What about your family?)
(Is Park Eunhye here as his fan?)
(Thanks to the seating arrangement,)
(I feel like I'm their guardian.)
(An agency executive who dresses like a celebrity)
(Guys, let's say hello.)
(Hello.)
(From any angle,)
(Bona looks pretty!)
(Stay tuned.)
Happy to be together on Happy Together!
- Hello. / - It's good to see you.
It's good to see you all.
- The hot weather has ended. / - It's autumn.
The heat is gone and autumn is here.
Cool breeze blows in the morning and evening.
- That's right. / - Yes. Autumn is coming.
Time flies. It was only yesterday that we heard Jaeseok
- is expecting another baby. / - Right.
The baby is coming next month.
- That's right. / - Congratulations.
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
I wish for a safe delivery.
- May I ask a question? / - You may not.
What aspect do you wish your baby gets from you?
I don't know. I haven't thought about that yet.
But there are things I hope my baby won't take from me.
For example, my mouth.
- Your jawline too. / - Yes. My jawline.
Things like that.
I've thought about things like this,
but I can't think of what I want to pass on.
Do you guys have any superior genes that
you want to boast about?
Myungsoo, what about you?
- Me? / - Yes.
- Is there anything? / - Patience.
- I'm very patient. / - I got...
- I got so surprised. / - I'm serious.
- You're not patient. / - Seeing that I sit here
to the end, I think I'm very patient.
- What about you? / - Hyunmoo?
I can tease others without offending them.
I want to pass it on to my child.
You're wrong. I think you'll get beat up soon.
- I can sense it. / - You can?
I can see when they're upset. Then I shut my mouth.
- I know when to stop. / - You're quick-witted.
- I'm quick-witted. / - Has anyone scared you?
- If you don't mind me asking. / - Many times.
- Is that so? / - It happened a lot.
When he's scared, his eyes open bigger than usual.
And my mustache grows a little.
- It grows suddenly? / - That's right.
Today's guests
can be considered as having superior genes.
It's "Stars with Superior Genes Special".
Let's bring them out.
- Please come out. / - Welcome. Come on!
(Open the door.)
- Oh, my. Im Changjung. / - And Seo Yoojung.
- Park Eunhye. / - Hello.
- Bona and Lucas. / - Hello.
I love his songs.
- ♪ You're the last ♪ / - Hello.
He's a great singer and actor, and amazingly versatile.
The amazing singer and actor, Im Changjung!
Hello.
She was the cute and bubbly mambo girl.
She's back as the activist from "Mr. Sunshine".
- Seo Yoojung! / - Hello.
(Seo Yoojung with an extraordinary vibe)
She's still as lovely and cheerful as ever.
Her pretty face seems ageless. The lovely Park Eunhye!
Park Eunhye!
This idol singer made her debut as an actress.
Once you see her,
you fall in love with this charming fairy.
Bona of WJSN!
Bona!
- What was that? / - Be careful.
- "Charming fatty"? / - It's "fairy".
- Gosh. Seriously. / - That wasn't good.
- My goodness. / - She's a charming fairy.
"A charming fairy".
He looks like a character in a comic book.
He's also peculiar, innocent and funny.
He's a valuable asset in variety shows now.
- Lucas of NCT! / - Lucas!
(He really is very handsome.)
- He's handsome. / - Indeed.
- He's handsome, right? / - Yes.
- He's so handsome. / - He also has big hands.
Look at his hands.
- His hands are so big. / - My goodness.
Hyeongyeong, compare your hand to his.
He has such big hands.
(Let's compare his hand to Hyeongyeong's.)
(His hand is much larger than hers.)
- Look at his hands. / - His fingers are so long.
- I envy you. / - They're the biggest
finger guns I've seen lately.
- He has big hands after all. / - No wonder
his fingers looked so long.
- He's also very handsome. / - I'm jealous.
His hands look like a cartoon character's front feet.
That's right.
- The animation character. / - That's an old animation.
- That's right. / - I haven't heard that in so long.
- You know the character. / - You're from Hong Kong.
Do you know Changjung by any chance?
Yes, I do. I know
the bar.
I know the bar.
(His 30 years of career feels meaningless.)
There's a bar that Changjung runs.
That's right. There is.
It's located near your practice studio.
- He's hilarious. / - Oh, right.
It's located in Cheongdam-dong.
We all know his bar.
Most people talk about his third or fourth albums,
but Lucas thought of his bar.
You should thank him.
He runs the bar after all.
Some people think I'm a baseball player.
That's right.
Because of "Invincible Baseball Team",
young people think I'm a baseball player.
They grew up watching it.
Have you ever heard my song?
Yes. Well... I've heard a bit.
♪ The fact that I met you ♪
- Have you heard of it? / - He hasn't.
(I haven't.)
- He hasn't. / - Changjung...
(He shouldn't have sung the song.)
Even if Changjung sings his songs,
Lucas is more familiar with his bar.
(He sings his song that was released in 2016.)
- Yes, I know that song. / - This is
- my song. / - I see.
- Okay? / - Since I sit here,
I feel like I'm their guardian.
(I feel like I'm their guardian.)
Don't be ridiculous.
- You don't look that old. / - Their guardian came
in a hurry in the middle of getting dressed.
To me, she looks like
- an agency executive. / - She looks gorgeous.
The executive who dresses like a celebrity.
(Executive Seo Yoojung)
"These are the artists under my agency."
The celebrities dressed simply,
- but she... / - Say hello. One, two, three.
- Hello. / - Hello.
(We're WJSN-NCT. It's nice to meet you.)
Just as I said earlier, today's theme
is "Stars with Superior Genes Special".
Changjung is like the first all-around entertainer.
- He created the concept. / - He practically did it.
Next year, he'll celebrate his 30th anniversary.
- Has it been 30 years? / - Is that so?
Oh, my. It's been so long.
(Let us tell you something about Changjung.)
(He sings well.)
(He's a good actor.)
(He even took over variety shows.)
(He's still loved by so many people.)
(Congratulations in advance on your 30th anniversary.)
Oh, my. It's been so long.
He said he had filmed a drama in this studio.
Back then,
this studio wasn't used for a variety show.
- That's right. / - I filmed a daily drama.
- Right. / - That's right.
- I filmed the drama 29 years from now. / - 29 years?
(The 20-year-old Lucas is surprised.)
It's been 29 years.
- They hadn't been born. / - I filmed the drama here.
- He doesn't hide his age. / - That's good.
- Changjung hasn't come / - That was funny.
on Happy Together in a long time.
- We wore spa robes then. / - That's right.
- I haven't been here / - It's been a long time.
- after the show changed. / - That's right.
I heard you live in Jeju Island now.
- Yes, I do. / - Did you fly in today?
- I came yesterday. / - I see.
Is that your house in Jeju Island?
- It's pretty. / - It's pretty.
- It looks nice. / - Did you build the house?
No. I bought one of the houses that were built there.
- There's a swimming pool. / - He has a swimming pool.
- That's for common use. / - I see.
It's for 12 houses to share,
and it's in my front yard.
- I know that place. / - It's pretty.
- It's a fancy house. / - No. It's cheap.
- Really? / - It's very cheap.
"It's very cheap."
He spoke English with a Korean accent.
Your English has improved.
- I thought it was a new potato chip. / - Me, too.
So it's very cheap.
- You live in Jeju Island. / - Yes.
- I didn't know that. / - It's been over a year.
- Really? / - I took my entire family.
When I have to record my songs
or appear on TV shows, I do it all at once.
- All at once? / - I finish everything
so I can go home in the evening.
It may sound inconvenient,
- but it's actually not. / - Really?
When you think about it,
- he's going home to Jeju Island. / - Do you fly there?
I feel happier than before.
- It doesn't take long. / - Exactly.
There are many celebrities who live in Jeju Island.
- That's right. / - Lee Jeong lives there.
- Lee Jehoon of Cool. / - Tak Jaehoon too.
A lot of stars live in Jeju Island.
But most people only know about Lee Hyori living there.
(People only know about Lee Hyori living there.)
My kids also want to see Hyori
- since she lives there too. / - Haven't you seen her?
They complained why they couldn't see her.
You could've run into her in Jeju Island.
Exactly. Since she went around the island,
I could've run into her somewhere.
- But I haven't seen her. / - Not once?
I didn't know you lived in Jeju Island.
- I had no idea. / - Is it disappointing?
When people see me...
I've lived on the island for over a year now,
but when they see me, "Oh, my. Are you traveling?"
I say, "I live here."
(I live here too.)
I heard that
since you spend more time with your children now,
they're very happy about it.
I have a lot of work to do when I'm in Seoul.
But I have nothing to do in Jeju Island.
So I can spend all my time having fun.
(I can have fun alone.)
(I have a gig tomorrow.)
(I'm in trouble.)
My kids started learning golf recently.
They're in sixth, fourth and second grades.
The two older sons started playing golf.
- It's been 8 or 9 months. / - It's been a while.
Since I love playing golf, I go with them,
and we practice together.
Don't your children worry about you just playing
all the time instead of working?
Don't they ask you about the financial status?
Aren't they worried?
Why would his children ask about that?
I would be.
My children feel very proud
because their friends know my name.
- That's nice. / - I think they do,
but when they're asked
if it's nice to have a celebrity dad, they say no.
- They put on an act. / - They actually like it.
I'm sure they brag about you to their friends.
Yoojung got married last year.
- Congratulations. / - Thank you.
The last time she was here,
she said she and Hyunmoo had something going on.
- She talked about a trip. / - That's right.
- Didn't she? / - You talked about a trip.
- The resort. / - Hyunmoo asked her to
- go on a trip with him. / - Right.
(The Man I Almost Dated)
He said he was going on a trip in a few days.
He asked me to join him.
(He asked her to go on a trip with him.)
However...
(Shaking)
(Is it wrong to go on a trip with friends?)
(He showed his sincerity while sweating a lot.)
(So she lost touch with him.)
Where did he ask you to go to with him?
(The end of "The Man I Almost Dated")
- "Let's go on a trip." / - I heard
Hyunmoo hosted her wedding.
Hyunmoo was a man from her past
- at the time, right? / - That's how I looked.
He's like an American celebrity.
- He's so cool about it. / - It's not like that.
- "American celebrity"? / - You asked her out.
I asked her to join a group trip,
and she made the story more interesting.
We're actually close same-age friends.
That's why I hosted her wedding.
I thought it'd be nice if my friend did it.
I asked him, and he accepted it right away.
I thought I should host her wedding
so I could shrug off my image as a flirt.
I got this image because of Happy Together.
I heard that it was hard to host
- her wedding. / - It wasn't difficult.
- It was unusual. / - How so?
The bride and groom are usually shy.
So their friends have to lighten the atmosphere.
But Yoojung was so excited.
I still remember how happy and excited she looked.
- She danced too. / - I heard
the staff at the venue were surprised too.
- It's because she's very cheerful. / - It's because...
It was hard to prepare for the ceremony
because there were a lot of things to hide.
- There were surprises. / - There was a lot of it.
I wanted to prepare something special for him.
My husband likes Kim Dongryul's songs.
But I couldn't hire him for my wedding.
- He's hard to see lately. / - Exactly.
I saw Muzie on a TV show doing an imitation
- of Dongryul. / - Right. He's good at it.
♪ After I got a call from you ♪
(He sounds just like Dongryul.)
It's as if he's drawing water from a deep well.
(You can't tell them apart with your eyes closed.)
Since I know Muzie personally,
I arranged the event secretly.
Only the staff at the venue and I knew.
Nobody else knew that.
When Muzie started singing,
people couldn't see his face.
They could only hear his voice.
They thought he was Dongryul.
- He hid his face. / - Yes.
Then the door opened,
and Muzie entered in sunglasses with his head lowered.
People were whispering, "That's Kim Dongryul."
- "Kim Dongryul is here." / - Yes.
But as he walked toward the stage,
he took off his sunglasses to reveal himself.
And it was quite fun.
You planned all the events like this
and executed your plans all by yourself.
Yes. It took me two months to prepare for it.
- Two months? / - That's how she is.
- I see. / - She remembers it wrong, though.
The guests didn't whisper, "That's Kim Dongryul."
- What did they say? / - "What? That's Muzie."
(What? That's Muzie.)
- She was mistaken. / - Well...
- It seems to me / - Really?
she remembers it the way she wanted it to be.
- Did he... / - It was too bright.
- Did he at least imitate Dongryul well? / - Of course.
Cho Yongpil performed too.
- Cho Yongpil? / - Cho Yongpil.
- Who was it? / - Muzie imitated him.
I see.
(Muzie did everything.)
- Muzie did everything. / - He imitated Yongpil.
- He imitated him too. / - Changjung came
all the way from Jeju Island.
Yoojung was very excited when she heard he'd be here.
The feeling is mutual too.
I know Changjung personally.
We both acted in "Fortune Salon".
The reason why I like him...
Actors usually focus on the emotions before filming,
- but Changjung jokes around. / - He does it instantly?
But as soon as the camera rolls,
he immerses himself into emotions right away.
I think that's amazing.
There are three actors whom I particularly
wanted to perform with someday.
- Who are they? / - Changjung,
Hwang Jungmin and Lee Byunghun.
I wanted to work with these three actors.
And I've worked with Changjung.
When I heard he'd be here, I was very excited.
You also performed with Byunghun.
- In "Mr. Sunshine". / - That's right.
What about Jungmin?
I've never worked with him before.
I've never met him either. I'd like to meet him.
You said you wanted to
- work with Byunghun. / - Yes.
- How was it? / - You worked with him.
I was very surprised.
Normally, it's hard for actors
to look other actors in the eyes,
so we look away while saying our lines.
But if you see Hollywood actors,
they look at each other in the eyes.
Byunghun doesn't get distracted.
He looks straight at you
with his deep eyes when he says the lines.
He's such a great actor.
(He's a great actor.)
Was it a lot different from my acting?
It must be different.
You said a while ago that I am good too.
- No, it's... / - Is he different?
He has a different feel from Byunghun.
I'm just funny.
No. You are both great actors.
(Their specialties differ, but they are both great.)
I'm sorry, but we're on the same level, right?
You're at a higher level.
She didn't specify who "you" is.
- She said it ambiguously. / - You are quite annoying.
Being on a variety show changed her.
You changed. You weren't like this before.
You are annoying now.
What happened to Joey Wong of Incheon?
She wasn't like this before.
She's been on too many variety shows.
Actually,
I saw her again today after a long time,
- and I'm surprised. / - Right?
She's not the Eunhye we used to know.
She's changed.
You're on the show with Kim Taeri.
How is Taeri?
(How is Taeri up close?)
You probably think of her as someone calm and quiet.
But in reality, she's fun.
- Is she fun? / - Yes. She's bubbly.
She mingles well with the crew and other actors.
She's really lovely and cute.
(She's a cute lady.)
She comes and starts a conversation with me first.
Can you feel how popular your drama is?
How is it?
I can really tell how popular it is
especially with foreigners.
Before this, only Koreans recognized me.
Foreigners didn't know me.
However, this drama became so popular
that Japanese and Chinese fans
recognize me well.
What do they say?
They don't say anything.
But I can tell from at their faces
- that they know me. / - You look at their faces.
You can tell by reading their faces.
Eunhye was really popular for her role in
"Steel Rain". How was that?
Put him down. Hurry!
(Her character established the story.)
I knew the movie was going to be a hit.
I had no doubt about it.
I had to think hard about my character.
There were only three female characters.
I was afraid we would get overpowered by the men.
But the film was edited very nicely.
- Your acting was good. / - If you are good,
they don't edit you out.
So it means that she acted well.
- They don't waste them. / - So that's why
all my parts in "Zzang" got edited out.
I haven't heard that name in such a long time.
It's been so long.
I was the lead actress, but I got edited out.
I was in only one or two scenes.
I ended up not being the lead actress.
(She ended up looking like a supporting actress.)
You acted with Jung Woosung.
- Yes. / - How was that?
(Laughing)
He was so handsome.
It was my first time not being able to
look at my acting partner in the eyes.
- I was / - Why not?
acting while looking at him in the eyes.
But I couldn't remember the lines.
He was too handsome. I was shocked.
I never experienced something like that.
Why are you looking straight into my eyes?
I was really shocked.
Her gaze even went through me.
Do you remember the lines well when you see me?
I remember them very well.
Eunhye, you're very involved in your child's education.
My boys just entered elementary school.
- They are twins. / - Right.
The government kept saying young children
shouldn't study school lessons in advance.
So I only enrolled them in playing classes.
When they entered school,
they couldn't calculate two plus three.
- Who? / - My twins.
- Really? / - Yes.
How can they not know what two plus three equals to?
I was so upset that
I sat them down and started teaching them.
I had to teach them.
"You have two candies."
"And someone gives you three more candies."
"How many candies would you have now?"
"Who gave me the candies?"
(That's what her sons said.)
That's very creative.
- They are very creative. / - They are creative.
- That's advanced. / - Yes.
They are more curious about who gave it to them.
That shows that they are going to be successful.
You say that because they are not yours.
- If they are yours, you'll think differently. / - Hey.
- Hey. / - Yes.
After one semester, they brought their textbooks.
There was a question that goes,
"You received an award."
"When your friend congratulates you,"
"what would you say to him?"
The answer should be, "Thank you."
In the blank, my boy wrote,
"Don't mention it."
- He's creative. / - He really is.
- He's creative. / - That's another level.
Isn't he a genius?
- I know. / - He's Edison.
- He's a genius. / - Isn't he a genius?
Right.
- Yes. / - I think it's wrong
to tell them what the right answer is.
We should let them give different answers.
And the parents should know why they said that
- Right. / - and talk about it.
Perhaps I should've done that
- when they were six or seven. / - Actually,
I used to not understand this.
Elders use to say
that you can never control your children,
and that you should let them do what they like.
Until recently,
I couldn't understand it.
Why can't you control your children?
I thought as long as you support
your children to live happily,
you will live happily with your children.
- But? / - I won't say any more.
What makes them happy is very different
from what we think would make them happy.
It's different.
He's a rookie who debuted seven months ago.
He is Lucas of NCT.
When you got invited to come to this show,
how did you react?
- You were blown away. / - Were you surprised?
- Were you fascinated? / - Yes.
My Korean is still not very good.
So I am really amazed that I was invited here.
I heard Lucas said this.
He said he would've made us laugh to death
if he could speak better Korean.
- Really? / - Did you really say that?
- Yes. / - What did you say?
If I spoke Korean as well as you,
- If you're good... / - I would've
made everyone in Korea laugh to death.
(He warns everyone.)
- He'd make us die. / - I really would.
- He's like Joon Park. / - Right.
You mean you can make us laugh our head off, right?
That's what you mean, right?
Joon was the same as him.
His Korean wasn't good but after two to three years,
- it improved so much. / - Very much.
I can understand 70 to 80 percent of what you say.
You are the first member of NCT to come on our show.
- Yes. / - What did the others say?
They just said,
"You did it."
- "You did it." / - "You did it."
"You're successful now."
"You're successful now."
(He's cute.)
He's cute.
When did you come to Korea?
I came to Korea in 2016.
- It hasn't been long. / - Just two years ago.
- Two years ago. / - I am from Hong Kong.
Right.
My mom is Thai.
- That's why... / - He looks like...
- He looks so much like Nichkhun. / - Go Soo, too.
Among all the guests,
he's the prettiest.
- Bona's here too. / - Where does that leave her?
- I... / - What are you doing?
Don't people tell you that you resemble someone?
- Yes. / - Who do they mention?
- Takeshi Kaneshiro. / - Takeshi Kaneshiro.
He's got his features.
There's Takeshi Kaneshiro. There's Minho of SHINee.
There's Im Changjung too.
- Come on. / - There's Go Soo.
What's wrong?
He does resemble Takeshi Kaneshiro.
- He does. / - He's handsome.
You speak English, Chinese...
- Thai. / - Yes. I speak a little bit of everything.
- Amazing. / - That's amazing.
You must speak Cantonese.
Cantonese is my mother tongue.
- You speak Mandarin too. / - I do.
(What?)
- Hello. / - Hello.
Stop it, Eunhye.
He's too handsome. I can only see him.
- Come on. / - I can't help it.
Why do you keep asking questions to Lucas?
- My goodness. / - Stop it.
She hasn't been out in a long time.
- Right. / - I can only see him.
She's only asking questions to Lucas alone.
- I am sorry, but... / - I have many questions.
I feel...
Please tell us the news about North Korea.
- Changjung is offended. / - I think the viewers
would be curious about what I am curious about.
(She was just representing the viewers.)
Will you stop it now?
- Are all your family members in Hong Kong? / - Yes.
- Eunhye is... / - What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Eunhye, tell us about North Korea.
What is going on at the Gaema Plateau?
Today is "Stars with Superior Genes Special".
When we told Lucas that,
he strongly agreed that he fits the theme.
- "It's me." / - "It's me."
- It's me. / - How so?
(Look at me.)
(I won't say more.)
- I am confident. / - You're confident.
- He's confident. / - I am confident.
I'm confident about my face and my body.
- Right. / - Your face and body.
Are you the most handsome member of NCT?
Of course.
"Of course."
(He has reason to be confident.)
"Of course."
Did you see him? Who was he talking to?
(Are you watching this, NCT?)
It's you.
In SM Entertainment, who is the most handsome?
Hyunmoo is there too.
Lucas.
(It's me.)
I love this.
- It's much better than denying it. / - Right.
- He's fearless. / - You need confidence.
- You need confidence. / - Yes.
- Lucas. Is it true? / - He's good.
Are you really absorbed in your beauty?
- Yes. / - Really?
Yes. Whenever I run into a mirror or a glass...
If a car passes by, I look at my face.
Do you know that you are handsome?
Yes. When I am getting makeup,
I am surprised that someone
as beautiful as me exists in this world.
- You're too beautiful. / - He's amazing.
- He's right, though. / - He's a new character.
- We have to agree with him. / - Actually...
- He's funny. / - He's handsome,
but there aren't many who would say it out loud.
- As a fellow idol... / - You can't deny it.
We haven't seen someone like him.
- You must be flustered. / - I think he's amazing.
Even if you think that, how can you
- say it out loud? / - I know.
It's quite novel.
- Yes. / - It's original.
When you are confident, you can go even higher.
When you look at yourself in the mirror
- after a shower... / - Every day, I do this.
You fall in love with your muscles.
I do this.
He is handsome.
(Guard your heart.)
All right.
- His legs are... / - By the way...
- They're very long. / - Yes. His legs are so long.
You usually don't give yourself a thumb up.
I heard Lucas has been wanting to see Jaeseok.
- Really? / - Right.
I am his huge fan.
You're on "Running Man".
It's very famous in Hong Kong.
You are still very young.
Were you more popular when you were younger?
You must've been handsome since you were young.
Do you want to see his photos?
(He was already handsome as a young boy.)
Look at the photo on the right.
- He's handsome. / - He's really cute.
Look at the photo in the middle.
He looks like a lead actor of a Taiwanese film.
Were you a child actor?
- Or a Hong Kong film. / - Were you?
Were you? In Hong Kong?
I knew it.
I'm sorry, but why do you keep hosting the show?
She only asks questions to one person.
- She has an ulterior motive. / - Lucas.
Were you once a basketball player?
- I was / - Track and field?
- A javelin thrower? / - a javelin thrower.
- He must've been very popular. / - By the way,
he's like a lead character of a film or a drama.
- "The Last Match". / - Right.
- People like him exist in real life. / - Right.
When I was young, I wasn't popular.
- Why? / - Why?
- Girls didn't like me. / - Why not?
(Lucas wasn't popular?)
(Why?)
I was too handsome.
I made them feel insecure.
(That's enough!)
No, it's not like that.
- Get up! / - How can you say that?
- Jaeseok would understand me, right? / - Know what?
Be quiet.
- I know it. / - What would you know?
- I know it. / - I know it too.
- I know how you feel, Lucas. / - I know it too.
You were too handsome.
- It's like this. / - They felt insecure.
The girls around him
- felt insecure. / - They were nervous.
- Right. / - Jaeseok must've
made them feel nervous for a different reason.
Is that right?
They say popularity shapes people.
In the past, we acted as a couple.
- Really? / - In a sitcom.
Yes. At the time,
- Jaeseok wasn't considered handsome. / - That's right.
- The society made him handsome. / - Right.
- The country made him handsome. / - Right.
Anyway, I was really happy when Lucas said,
"You know how it is."
(It's like he's been validated.)
- He's a funny man. / - I didn't pause to receive it.
"I know how it is."
"I know. I know."
What are you particularly confident about?
Your face and body?
I am confident
about my chest.
Your chest muscles?
- We can't see it. / - I can make it move.
- Make it move. / - It moves.
- Like this? / - Move. Move.
- Let's see. / - Don't be surprised.
- Come on. / - Move. Move.
(His chest muscles move.)
(He managed to do that.)
Can't all men do that?
- Try it. / - Mine doesn't move.
(He shouldn't have said anything.)
(He already did it twice.)
(He's ashamed of Changjung.)
Try taking a break.
My goodness.
This is what happens when you take a break.
Give me time,
- and I'll get it back. / - I know you will.
I'm confident I can adjust quickly.
He's got the sense.
Lucas, is there
nothing you want to change about your face?
- No. / - What's there to change?
- I wouldn't if I were him. / - Everything is lovely.
My head is too small.
I want it to be a little bigger.
(What is he saying?)
- Look at Saeho. / - What about me?
Look at him.
- What about me? / - I pointed at him.
I pointed at Saeho without realizing it.
My head suits someone who is 187cm tall.
- It's too big. / - It should be 190cm.
- 190cm. / - Yes.
(The man with a small head won't understand.)
We have another person to introduce.
She was in the drama "Your House Helper",
which aired right before our show.
She's the charming helper who heals our hearts.
It's Bona of WJSN.
(Bona of WJSN)
Welcome.
She's like the next Suzy.
You've established yourself as an actress.
When I just debuted,
Suzy was my role model.
I wanted to do both acting and singing.
She's successful as an actress,
and she's released albums as a soloist.
She communicates with her fans well too.
I thought that was amazing.
And I wanted to do both just as well.
It's as if you prepared that answer.
- She's like a lawyer. / - Really...
You led her well.
Your mother is very happy about your career.
Even after I debuted,
my mom never used my photo
as her profile photo.
However, after I attended Drama Awards last year,
she put my photo at the awards on her profile.
Finally, she is proud of me.
When I'm on a music show,
as there are 13 of us,
we get about five seconds of airtime each.
So my mom's friends and elders don't recognize me.
But her friends saw me in the drama and called her.
Moms love dramas.
She could see you longer.
You made your brother's army life better too.
- I heard that. / - I'm sure she did.
- He must be popular there. / - His sister is an idol.
My brother joined the army right before
- my debut. / - He joined the army.
- That's crazy. / - When I was a trainee,
I sent him photos of us,
and all the members wrote him a letter.
Did they write him letters?
He must have loved it.
I also sent him a signed album of SISTAR.
I even talked to each of his superiors on the phone.
He must have started his army life comfortably.
I don't know if it made his life better,
but I tried my best to help him.
- Bona is really lovely. / - She's really lovely.
I heard you are most confident about your nose.
- Her nose is lovely. / - Yes. I chose my nose.
Her nose is very high and pretty.
All my family members have the same nose.
- I look good in profile. / - I'm sure.
On music shows, I turn my face to the side.
It's good that your family members look the same.
People misunderstand if they don't look alike.
Since I was young, many people asked me
if I got my nose done.
Why would you steal our lines?
Come on, Eunhye.
- She told it. / - Eunhye.
The more you do this,
the weaker my position gets.
- I'll be scolded. / - Eunhye.
My goodness.
Did you come here looking for a job?
Don't you have any business etiquette?
- Changjung... / - Eunhye.
I wanted to say it too, but I didn't.
(I'm stopping myself.)
Changjung used to be a host too.
I used to be a host too.
- I can't help myself. / - He was big.
It seems that Bona has been preparing
to become a celebrity from an early age.
When I was younger, the mothers in town
used to tell Mom that
I should be a celebrity or that I could be Miss Korea.
Hearing those things as a young girl,
I thought I could become a celebrity.
(Am I meant to be a celebrity?)
That naturally made me become interested.
You tried to control your surroundings in preparation
so you wouldn't have an ugly past.
I had nothing going on. I wasn't even a trainee then.
I just told myself that I shouldn't leave any ugly past
since I am going to be a singer and a celebrity.
I didn't join school dance competitions...
(She didn't want to stand out.)
You didn't want to leave any records.
I just did that for no reason.
She was afraid that those things might
- Haunt her. / - haunt her later.
- How diligent. / - You probably didn't date either.
I didn't date anyone when I was in school.
You were going to be a celebrity.
In middle school, she was on a dance team.
- Right? / - Yes.
I loved dancing since I was young.
She prepared a dance for Happy Together.
- Please show us. / - Let's see the dance.
("Save Me, Save You" by WJSN)
She's lovely.
(It's both powerful and innocent.)
(She dances hard and she looks beautiful.)
(She looks beautiful any way you look at her.)
(Her dance makes)
(the men's hearts flutter.)
(Her charms are as infinite as space.)
(She is fatally charming.)
(Everyone claps for her.)
- I love the song. / - Lucas raised his hand.
- I have one too. / - What?
- What is it? / - I can dance too.
I...
- That's very random. / - Are you dancing?
When you dance, the most important thing is
- your feeling / - Your feeling.
- and your facial expression. / - Your expression.
- I will show you. / - Okay.
- Let's go! / - Okay.
(I've been waiting for this moment.)
(He's very tall.)
- Lucas is funny. / - Goodness.
(Bravo!)
You are good.
- One, two. / - Three, four.
(He's got the facial expression.)
(We need to multiply him.)
(He makes people drop their jaws.)
I can tell...
(I'm in charge of my own airtime.)
(He finishes it with his handsome face.)
- He's good. / - Bravo.
(Thumbs up)
Since he's so tall,
he filled up the stage easily.
Lucas and Bona, thank you for that performance.
Changjung, you claim to be quite athletic.
It's not that I'm good at sports.
I'm just very sharp when it comes to things.
Whenever I do something,
even when I played sports as a kid,
I had a keen eye for the rules.
- You're a fast learner. / - I pick it up quickly,
but my interest dwindles quickly as well.
You're known for being good at sports.
Among them are golf and baseball.
- He's very nimble. / - I am. When I dance,
you can barely see my moves.
I have short limbs, so I'm done in a flash.
You know how it is.
Most of your dance moves go like this.
- You're a great dancer. / - My moves are nimble.
Do your children take after you?
Are they also athletic?
Yes, they are observant as well.
They're quick studies.
In about five months after learning how to golf,
one of them competed in a tournament.
- In five months? / - That's amazing.
Changjung may be athletic,
but he's known more for his vocals.
- Of course. / - He's a great singer.
Being known as a good singer
depends on how others view my singing.
But when it comes to the volume of my vocals...
There's a video that went viral online.
He was singing, when the song suddenly stopped playing.
- Right. / - So without any music,
he finished singing the song live.
(During an outdoor event...)
♪ I truly ♪
(The song starts to drag along.)
(The music gets turned off.)
Don't turn it back on.
♪ Seeing you leave ♪
(He continued the song without any music.)
♪ I tried to empty my heart ♪
♪ But before I knew it ♪
(He overcame the obstacle with his singing ability,)
(and the audience cheered in gratitude.)
- I couldn't believe it. / - I saw that too.
Normally, when that happens,
most would quit singing and can't continue.
However, Changjung didn't give up.
He sang the rest of it without background music.
If I didn't, my fee would've been canceled.
I see.
- He's a professional. / - So that's why.
- I had to work. / - He couldn't bail.
It is said that
his microphone goes down to his belly button.
- What does that mean? / - He voice is that powerful.
When you see other singers with powerful vocals sing,
they lower the microphone away from their faces.
I found that charismatic.
- There's a photo. / - I think it's cool,
which is why I also do it.
Everyone can do that, though.
- No, we can't. / - Yes, you can.
When I lower the microphone,
the audio team increases the volume.
- Really? / - The audio team?
- I didn't expect that. / - What?
He always lowers his microphone when singing,
but he sounds just as loud!
The audio team keeps changing the settings.
What? My gosh.
- That's great. / - I see.
The audio team must be on their toes.
Before I knew that,
I really believed I had powerful vocals.
At first, I was amazed at myself.
Then I saw the audio team turn up the volume.
(They were adjusting the volume.)
They changed the microphone's settings.
- Nevertheless, he's an amazing singer. / - Of course.
Many people enjoy and wait for new songs by Changjung.
Can you tell us about your new single?
Most of my songs are like
"The Love I Committed" or "A Shot of Soju".
This time, my songs will be more aggressive
and have a strong beat to them.
- Really? / - They're different.
So they're different to what we're used to.
The lead single has a very long title.
"There Has Never Been A Day I Haven't Loved You".
It's long, indeed.
In short, I call it "TDL".
- "TDL"? / - "TDL".
Could we hear a snippet of it?
- Please sing it for us. / - Right.
("There Has Never Been A Day I Haven't Loved You")
(by Im Changjung)
♪ Because we don't know at the time ♪
(The music suddenly goes off.)
♪ Because we don't know at the time ♪
(They're all flustered.)
♪ The days we remember ♪
(His voice shines through even without any music.)
♪ What kind of love was ours? ♪
(Blaring)
(In my heart)
(Respect!)
That was amazing.
- Goodness. / - You still have it.
Why was the music turned off?
I don't know what happened.
The track must've bounced in a weird way.
(It wasn't on purpose.)
It wasn't on purpose, but it happened.
That was great, though.
I couldn't tell that he had a sore throat.
Me neither.
My favorite song of yours is "A Shot of Soju".
- Isn't it because you like soju? / - I do like soju.
Did you write the song while inebriated?
- No, of course not. / - It's a masterpiece.
There are some famous rumors regarding the song.
Many say that the lyrics are something
you'd say during a drunk phone call.
I've heard that a lot.
I was on my way to the recording studio,
but I couldn't reach the lyricist.
I still had no lyrics for the song.
So I wrote how I'd like the song to be,
and kept revising it as I recorded.
- While humming the song? / - Yes, that's right.
Did you write the lyrics yourself?
Yes. The part where the lyrics go,
"Hello, it's me" is familiar to us now,
but it doesn't quite work with the original melody.
That's why the songwriter
wished for us
to release the song much later with new lyrics.
I insisted that the song was great.
I love that part the most.
So I released the song.
- Thankfully, many loved it. / - I love the song.
It wasn't common at the time to write aggressive lyrics
- to a soft ballad. / - It was very direct.
Others won't have made it sound this good.
- Exactly. / - I agree.
It's been a while since you released a song.
Will we see you a lot on music shows?
Yes, of course.
Haven't TV music shows changed a lot now?
I haven't been on hiatus that long,
so I know the drill.
I say hello to idols who come to greet me.
(Don't worry and come greet me.)
Bona, would you and the rest of WJSN
go and greet him too?
- Yes, of course. / - Of course.
Stay put, and I'll come to you.
In terms of "Music Bank",
we all watch the others rehearse.
According to what I hear,
Changjung's live performance
is worthy of a standing ovation.
- Of course. / - That's why these days,
I lip-sync during dry rehearsals to protect my vocals.
(He jokes about lip-syncing.)
Of course.
It'll be really funny
if I lip-synced during rehearsals.
- I did it once. / - Really?
You sing with music accompaniment.
I still ended up ruining the live show.
(The legendary Odongdo Island Incident)
Those who can't sing must practice beforehand.
He's right.
I wasn't able to hit the high notes.
It was a disaster.
Lucas, have you met him at a music show before?
- No, I haven't. / - No.
It hasn't been long since I debuted.
I see.
He probably learned of Changjung today.
If they'd met on "Music Bank" first,
he might have wondered why...
- "What's he doing here?" / - "What brings you by?"
- "Did you release a song?" / - He's the bar owner.
"What about your bar tonight?"
(He's a senior singer from today.)
Yoojung, you got married last year.
Next month will be our one-year anniversary.
Are you happy?
Many ask me
if I'm having fun after the wedding.
It can't be all fun, though. There are ups and downs.
That's how marriage is in reality.
It's especially because
we both got married over the age of 40.
- It wasn't easy to compromise and give in. / - Right.
When do you feel that
you made the right choice to marry him?
It's at times like this.
There are times when I feel down
and I want to relieve myself of the stress.
Before, I didn't know who to meet
and what facial expressions to carry.
Now that I have a husband,
I have someone who is always with me.
He's with me when things are happy or sad.
That's the best thing I love about marriage.
Are you going to ask what I don't like too?
- Yes. / - If that's okay with you.
We like to check both sides of the mirror.
It's not like I loathe this, but
there are times when I don't want to eat.
Sure, you don't have an appetite sometimes.
When my husband is hungry
even at two or three in the morning,
instead of asking why,
I just go to the kitchen and cook for him.
- That's amazing. / - Why doesn't he cook?
He could cook it himself.
I've never asked him
why he'd eat at a questionable hour.
Really? Won't you want to stay in bed at that time?
When you cook...
I don't think this is appropriate for me to ask.
Hyeongyeong should ask.
Do you only wear an apron on top of your underwear?
(Does she cook in her underwear?)
- My gosh. / - They're married anyway.
Exactly. It's a small event.
You don't sleep with
your clothes on.
Why not?
Why don't you sleep in clothes?
Sometimes, you don't.
It was hot this summer after all.
It's her house, so she can do whatever she wants.
- It was hot this summer. / - I wake up
before my husband does. Sometimes,
I stay by his side,
and sometimes I walk around the living room.
I forget to cover myself
and walk around in my underwear.
- So that's why... / - Yes.
I tell my husband
to wake up since I'm starting breakfast.
I tell him that I'll start cooking.
When that time comes,
I'm busy making breakfast,
so I don't have the time to put on clothes.
When it's all done, I tell him to eat,
then I head inside to dress before joining him.
I hear that you're the one
who instigates physical contact.
Women of the older generation
like it more when the man makes the first move.
They find it embarrassing to make the first move,
and they think it's humiliating in some way.
- That's how some women think, right? / - Yes.
I'm not like that, though. It doesn't matter
- who instigates it. / - You don't care.
I personally enjoy physical contact.
I do it a lot because I worry that
I won't be able to later.
I worry that things will get awkward between us.
So I instigate physical contact,
and my husband does it too when he wants to.
It's why everything feels natural between us.
- Did he really propose in two months? / - Really?
Two months after your first date?
About two months in,
we went on a trip together.
We went to the Maldives.
I hear that it's a place for honeymoons.
Did you go to the Maldives just after two months?
We didn't meet sparsely when dating.
We met nearly every day for that two months,
We enjoyed as many dates as
couples who've been together for months.
So on the trip,
he said he'd take me out to dinner.
He had borrowed a yacht for us.
I thought we were going to a restaurant on it.
But once I got off,
I saw an array of cameras taking photos of us.
I didn't doubt it at all
since we were taking some while on vacation anyway.
I didn't question the cameras pointing at us.
- You didn't find it odd. / - No.
Anyway, then my husband
turned to face me.
His eyes were suddenly brimming with tears.
- Suddenly? / - Yes,
at the sight of me.
I couldn't understand why this man
was on the verge of tears.
What came to mind
was a scene from the series I was filming.
I played the role of a single mom in it,
and I was dating a man from a wealthy family.
His mother didn't approve of us
even though we're deeply in love.
So we go on a final trip together
and promise to break up after the trip.
I set off to the Maldives right after filming that.
So seeing him cry in front of me
made me burst into tears as well.
I thought that this was it for us.
- Your last trip. / - Exactly.
I was so upset that
he'd end things like that.
The scenario seemed to align.
So we hugged each other.
For about 10 seconds, we cried in each other's embrace.
Once we were done,
he took out a ring,
got down on one knee and proposed.
I bet you cried more since you were moved.
I was so surprised that I knelt down too.
- It was unexpected. / - I had no idea.
You thought he was going to break up with you.
Yes, we were thinking two very different things.
I was so surprised that I knelt down too.
Since he proposed to me...
(Her boyfriend proposed.)
I told him that I wanted to marry him
and accepted his proposal.
During our meal afterward,
we cried for about an hour.
Really?
(A meal of tears)
Both our eyes got puffy.
I told my husband that
I probably had it tough just so I could meet him.
I told him that.
Why did your husband cry?
He said he was surprised with himself.
Why?
(What?)
He hadn't proposed to anyone before that,
so he was overwhelmed by the situation.
He also loved that he was proposing to me,
- that's why... / - He was overwhelmed.
He was overwhelmed with emotions.
I'm sure he was overwhelmed
with the love he has for you,
but he must have also thought that he looked cool.
Yes, exactly.
- He's like Lucas. / - Of course.
He thought he looked decent.
Like Lucas?
Do you have any nicknames?
He hates when I say it,
but I call him "Baby."
Not his name?
You call him "Baby"?
You've seen him before, so what you do think?
Does he seem young for his age?
It's not a word that comes to mind.
Can't you just say that it's plausible?
Men look at other men differently.
- Right. / - He's very handsome.
(Embarrassed)
My husband said this to me once.
"I can't look at flowers for long periods of time,"
"but I can look at you forever."
- That's incredible. / - What was that?
- Honeymoon phase. / - They're both sweet
and they're in their honeymoon phase.
It goes to show that
- they are deeply in love. / - Of course.
By the way, Changjung competed with
Korea's best boy bands, H.O.T. and Sechs Kies,
and won the Grand Prize.
At the time, it wasn't easy to beat both groups.
Especially as a solo artist.
It's quite the accomplishment.
Let me tell you about that time.
(Part 2 will continue soon.)
Let me tell you about that time.
- Of course. / - Please tell us.
- You should. / - Back then,
there were enough fans of H.O.T. and
Sechs Kies to fill up all the seats
in the main stadium.
That's how popular both groups were.
If one team won the Grand Prize,
the other team's fans would start a riot.
I guess that's why.
While waiting for the announcement,
fans of both groups chanted their names.
It was chaotic!
The KBS Grand Prize.
(Who will receive the Grand Prize?)
Who will receive the Grand Prize?
(The cheers swallowed the hosts' words.)
Announcer Hwang will reveal the winner.
(H.O.T. or Sechs Kies?)
The Grand Prize goes to
Im Changjung!
- My name was called. / - "Im Changjung!"
I was in the back.
Both teams were ready to receive the trophy in front.
No one could hear me asking them to move.
- Of course. / - The fans were screaming.
I pushed my way to the front.
(He had to make it out by himself.)
"It's me. Move out of the way!"
How were the fans?
They didn't realize my name was called.
That's how loud they were.
Even the artists didn't know who was called.
At that moment,
five seconds felt like a minute,
and no one knew my name had been called.
- That's how loud it was. / - I had to
tell everyone that it was me. On screen...
- "Me?" / - "Why me?"
"Why me instead of H.O.T. or Sechs Kies?"
That's how it looked like.
That's what people thought had happened.
However, I was telling everyone it was me.
So that's what happened.
"Guys, I won the Grand Prize!"
If my memory is right, Jinusean said to me, "You?"
"Yes, me!"
We thought you were dazzled back then.
How did the fans react afterward?
So what happened afterward was...
Well, I've never seen an audience empty
an auditorium so fast.
No way!
Oh, no.
There was only a tiny door,
but they were using it to leave even in the dark.
They looked like ants.
That's how quickly they headed out.
- They all left. / - Yes, they did.
The fans discussed among them
why it wasn't H.O.T or Sechs Kies.
"Who on earth is Im Changjung?"
"Why is he winning someone else's prize?"
That event brought together the fans of both groups.
They bonded over their hatred for me.
(The two group of fans united.)
Over their hatred for me!
"Im Changjung isn't even good."
I remember watching him win the prize.
Didn't you thank the fans for their support?
- Of course. / - The prize wasn't unexpected to us.
We mentioned this earlier,
but you were worthy and well deserving of that prize.
- Exactly. / - I remember hearing fans scream
whenever his song won first place on shows.
Of course.
(The cheers grew louder after the announcement.)
(While singing the encore...)
(Whenever I'm alone)
(The legendary sing-along)
My fans did a great job back then.
From what I hear, they were a match for hundreds.
Other singers had a bigger number of fans,
but my fans weren't intimidated.
- No, they weren't. / - That's right.
H.O.T. and Sechs Kies will have a concert
- on the same day. / - Really?
Why don't you have a concert on the same day?
It will be a three-way fight.
I will have
a nationwide tour from the third week of November.
If I have the time, I want to go
- to their concerts. / - It will be fun.
The girls who used to yell at me
are middle-aged women now.
I want to go
and watch the concert with the audience.
"We apologize for our past behavior."
It was the beginning of this year, right?
I got to watch a performance by H.O.T.
While the performance was good,
the fans really touched me.
Seeing the fans so happy moved me.
The fans are responsible
for the reunion of H.O.T.
- My fans are / - They are amazing.
- the same. / - Of course.
It's incredible that you won against two groups.
That's right. I wasn't intimidated.
- Yoojung was popular / - She was very popular.
- as the mambo girl. / - The mambo girl.
I'm sure these two don't know what we're talking about.
She used to take the stage.
- She was the mambo girl. / - Yes.
Let's see the video.
Gosh, what is that?
Why would you show that video?
Gosh, what is that?
(Pay attention to her face.)
- Look at her face. / - Who is in the middle?
The man in the middle is too excited.
- Seriously. / - What am I doing?
- That's Kim Booyong. / - You are right.
- "Poverty in the Midst of Plenty". / - That's right.
I was in Kim Booyong's music video for
"Poverty in the Midst of Plenty".
Since the music video became a hit,
I performed with him.
How popular were you as the mambo girl?
You were more popular than the singer.
People called me by my name
- when it became known. / - I was active back then,
so I can tell you what it was like.
Let's say you saw Kim Booyong.
"Oh, it's singer Kim Booyong!"
"Who is he?" "He sings next to the mambo girl!"
(Popular versus unpopular)
Their positions were switched.
- She was more popular. / - I bet he was angry.
We are close friends.
(Don't criticize your good friend.)
This is how popular Yoojung was back then.
She bought a 660-square meters house for her mom.
- Did it happen back then? / - Right?
- No, no. / - You saved up money.
While I made more money than most of my peers,
I didn't buy her the house in Yangpyeong right away.
I worked for many years
- and saved up money / - You saved up.
to buy her the house.
It's impressive that you bought your mom a house.
Eunhye,
you briefly talked about raising children.
Do they really hate that you act?
One day,
they said they don't want to be adults.
When I asked them why,
they said they don't want to be on TV.
- TV? / - What does it mean?
They thought all adults are on TV.
It's understandable.
They said they don't want to be adults
because they don't want to be on TV.
It means they don't like seeing me on TV.
- Why is that? / - I know why.
I don't usually watch TV,
but I had monitored my scenes briefly three times.
In one scene, I get slapped.
In one scene, the police drag me away.
In another scene, I cry at the hospital.
My children saw those scenes.
On the day they saw the police drag me away,
they tearfully told a kindergarten teacher
that I got arrested.
- My goodness. / - The teachers were lost.
Thankfully, one of them had seen the drama.
She explained it to the others
and said, "If you behave today,"
"we can go and save her."
That wrapped up the situation.
When my children hear that I am going to go act,
they hate it.
They tear up.
"Will a man hit you?" They ask me that.
- They saw those scenes. / - That's right.
When my children hear that I am going to work,
they think it's something different.
They do that
- because they love you a lot. / - They love me.
This is something they asked in passing.
They asked, "Did you struggle when you gave birth?"
I did struggle. I had premature labor.
So I told them I did. "Did it hurt a lot?"
"Yes, it hurt a lot."
"Did Grandma help you?"
"Yes, she did."
They suddenly said,
"Grandma, thank you for helping Mom."
- They love you so much. / - I was touched.
Even if they give you a headache,
- those words melt you. / - They are touching.
They don't need to know how much two plus three is.
- It doesn't matter. / - That's right.
It doesn't matter.
Have you been touched by your children, Changjung?
- I bet it happens often. / - Seriously.
Their presence alone touches me.
Their presence alone touches me.
When your son's friends visited the house,
they saw your trophy from "Music Bank".
(How did they react?)
My trophies are on display at home.
My oldest son's friends know who I am.
- They know who you are. / - Yes.
When they visited and saw the trophies,
they recognized one of it.
"Hey,"
"Im Changjung won this a few days ago."
My son said,
"Don't call my dad by his name."
It's understandable.
They didn't know you were a friend's dad.
- They knew, / - I see.
but I am simply Im Changjung to them.
They can't call me "Uncle" or "Mister".
- You are right. / - You are right.
They call me "Now on My Way to Meet You".
My goodness.
"Now on My Way to Meet You".
All right.
How are things in Pyeongyang these days?
(The President was on his way to meet them.)
(I hope for good news.)
(I am "Now on My Way to Meet You".)
Eunhye, I heard that you debuted Park Kiyoung.
What? Did you debut her yourself?
No, I didn't.
We went to the same high school.
We are close since we sat front and back.
She was popular in Incheon for her singing skills.
Back then, there was something called
the Civilian Education Charter.
I haven't heard that in a while.
I changed the wording
to introduce Kiyoung
on the radio show "Rock-Paper-Scissors".
- You sent in a story. / - Byun Jinsub hosted it.
- I sent a story. / - "Rock-Paper-Scissors".
Yes. The story got picked
and Kiyoung got to sing.
She placed first,
performed for a week, a month, and a year later,
she debuted as a singer.
Your submission changed her life.
Eunhye made it possible for us to hear her songs.
- That's right. / - That's right.
Eunhye, can't you tell who will become successful?
- I can. / - I experienced it.
- I said he will succeed. / - Did you say that?
- Yes. / - When did you say that?
- We worked together. / - He was a newbie.
- He wasn't successful. / - No.
- She said that. / - Yang Sehyung.
(Eunhye's second pick, Yang Sehyung)
I asked the scriptwriters
to invite him to my program
so many times. I said he is hilarious.
Nam Changhee will be next.
- Really? / - Really?
Jaeseok has said that for five years.
- Really? / - I continue to follow up on his endeavors.
I think he will be successful.
Changhee will make it someday.
- You keep saying that. / - It saddens me.
- It will occur in a year. / - His success?
- Yes. / - It will be hard.
(I hope that day comes.)
In a year?
He might need more time.
Life is unpredictable.
- That's right. / - I hope it happens.
She has foresight.
(We hope Changhee will succeed in a year.)
Lucas, your parents
must have been proud to see you debut.
They were worried about SM Entertainment.
- Really? / - Yes.
They were worried.
When I attended the audition,
my parents cheered me on and wished me luck.
But when I passed the audition
and received the offer...
SM Entertainment gave you an offer.
Then my parents worried a bit.
"Maybe this is a fake company."
They thought it might be a fake company.
"It can't be SM Entertainment."
It's a big company.
I told my parents,
"Don't worry because I can do well."
"I can do well."
Have you met Lee Sooman?
- Yes, I have. / - When did it happen?
When NCT was in the making,
I had to talk to him.
All the members sat in the meeting room.
I didn't know any Korean back then,
so I pretended to understand.
"Yes, yes." I just nodded.
How much did you actually understand?
Honestly, zero.
- You understood nothing. / - Yes.
You didn't know any Korean back then.
- You just said, "Yes." / - Yes.
Did Lee Sooman think you understood?
Yes.
The same thing happens at my agency.
When the director talks to Cheng Xiao,
she nods and says yes with a smile
even when she doesn't understand.
"Did you understand?" "No."
- It became a habit. / - That's right.
You are receiving
attention and popularity on variety shows.
I hear you are sad about something.
- That's right. / - What is it?
I look cool when I perform.
When you perform as a member of NCT.
(His charisma commands the stage.)
(Lucas has lethal charms.)
On variety shows,
it saddens me that I look like a fool.
It's typical on variety shows.
I actually look cool on a regular basis.
I sit like this.
I think a lot.
- You look cool. / - He has long legs.
- I do this. / - Okay.
I want to show this side of me.
- You want to show it. / - Yes.
Earlier, Lucas said that
he will rule once he learns Korean.
He will rule.
Why don't you speak in your mother tongue?
- Show us how you speak. / - It will be cool.
(He becomes cool.)
(He is like Takeshi Kaneshiro.)
Can you say what you said in Korean?
Hello, I am...
He pronounces "Hello" in a cute way.
- This is... / - Seriously.
His tone changes.
Lucas can speak Korean very well.
- That's right. / - That's right.
He's learned enough Korean to express himself
on a variety show. It's quite a feat.
- He is smart. / - That's right.
- He is multilingual. / - That's right.
Isn't it hard to study Korean?
Yes. I'm really bad at studying.
How did you study Korean?
My agency offers classes.
- You took classes. / - Yes. However,
I always went in and slept.
- Really? / - Yes.
- He is still good. / - Seriously.
What was the hardest thing about Korean?
Was it the pronunciation?
In Cantonese...
Stress?
There are no honorifics.
- Honorifics. / - I see.
I still don't know how to talk to a senior singer.
- It gets confusing. / - Yes.
When you leave after a meal, you say,
"Enjoy your meal."
I used to go,
"Eat well."
"Enjoy your meal."
"I will get going now."
He went, "Eat well."
You should have said it to Lee Sooman.
- Goodness. / - "Eat up."
At least he added "Well". What if he said, "Eat"?
"Eat a big meal."
You're sad since you are different on variety shows,
- but that makes you relatable. / - It's your charm.
- That's right. / - An unexpected charm.
You are really cute.
Bona, you gained many fans
through the drama "Girls' Generation 1979".
- People became fans. / - That's right.
(I am Lee Junghee.)
Come on, Dongmoon.
(She shows her cute acts.)
(Cute)
You spoke with a dialect in the drama.
I am from Daegu.
The drama is set in Daegu.
- I see. / - It's set in the 70s.
My character's name and birth year were
the same as my mom's.
- Really? / - The character had
my mom's name and birth year.
- It was fate. / - My mom loved it.
She must have loved the drama.
The drama brought back memories for her.
Bananas used to be a precious fruit.
- It was like that for me too. / - Really?
Only rich families had turntables.
- That's right. / - It was like that.
I thought I had fixed my accent,
but it comes out from time to time
- without my knowledge. / - Give us an example.
- Monday. Tuesday. / - Monday.
Sunday. I still have an accent.
- I can't pronounce "Day". / - "Day".
There was a line that goes,
"The tiresome day..." I said it with an accent.
- That's right. / - "The tiresome day..."
- It comes out. / - Your accent comes out.
I heard that you prepared a cute act with your dialect.
A lot of people are under a misunderstanding.
A dialect is rough and unaffected.
It's manly in many ways,
but it's shown as something cute on TV.
I can't act cute.
- How cute! / - It's in the drama.
- She is so cute. / - It's in the drama. She is good.
- It's in the drama. / - She is so cute.
Changjung and popularity go hand in hand.
Among the new terms of 2018,
there's "Boss Im Changjung".
- "Boss Im Changjung". / - It's in a commercial.
The employee benefits of my company...
They became the talk of the town.
- There it is. / - There it is.
"Four insurances, severance pay,"
"four leaves a month."
"A manager gets a car."
That's right. I saw the advertisement.
It's impressive.
I didn't make those rules.
One of the owners of the restaurants
came up with those rules for the employees.
Since the franchise belongs to me,
people misunderstood.
- You must be thankful. / - I am very thankful.
I read the rules.
While I try to follow those rules,
there are some rules I simply can't follow.
On the bottom, it says,
"The owner can make less."
Those are the words I want to live by.
His philosophy is in that advertisement.
That's right.
In 2016, you were voted as the No. 1 star
people want to work with.
- You were voted. / - It's thanks
to the owner of the restaurant.
It improved the image
of the franchise.
The advertisement spread on social media.
While I didn't put up that advertisement,
I feel like I have to do it.
It puts a pressure on me.
It's a good influence on other businesses.
That's right.
I try my best to follow those rules.
You sing at your employee's wedding.
Of course I do.
- It's the least I can do. / - I see.
Do you go to the wedding?
Of course I do. I do that if I have time.
- He is loyal. / - Eunhye was
in "Dae Janggeum".
(Eunhye played Yeonsaeng.)
It's her most popular work.
The drama was a hit abroad as well.
(She played Janggeum's friend)
(who later became Royal Concubine Lee.)
It became a hit in Iran.
That's right. It became a hit in Iran.
- I went there. / - What do you mean?
- I went to Iran. / - Why did you go there?
- There was an event. / - Really?
- An event in Iran. / - It happened last year.
I thought it would be a scary country,
but people told me that's Iraq.
Iran is different.
- When I say that... / - Iraq is unrelated.
People think there would be soldiers with guns.
- They don't know. / - Everyone asked me that,
but I didn't see any guns. And when it's prayer time,
you hear music playing instead.
- No one was praying. / - Why?
I asked the guide, "Why is no one praying?"
"People don't pray these days."
- Really? / - Yes.
However, when you are on TV,
you can't show a single strand of hair.
- I wore a hijab / - Hijab.
very tightly around my head
for an interview.
Did "Dae Janggeum" get a good viewer rating?
I heard it was around 86 percent.
That's what I heard as well.
"Lee San, Wind of the Palace" is airing.
Han Sangjin told me
the viewer rating is around 90 percent.
Since Eunhye is on the show,
we should take this opportunity
to sell Happy Together to Iran.
Eunhye, you said that Lee Youngae is eccentric.
- Lee Youngae. / - You saw her play
the "Red light, Green light" game.
Does the oxygen-like woman play that game?
I saw her play it with three staff members.
- Really? / - A manager, a stylist...
We only play the game for the show.
- You imitated her. / - No, I didn't.
- You sounded similar. / - What did I do?
- You imitated her. / - Really?
She goes, "Eunhye."
"Did you get a shot?" She said that
when there was a flu going around.
She is always composed.
When it's really cold, she sits straight
with a blanket on her lap and reads the script.
- She sits still. / - She does it in the cold.
Perhaps her body froze.
- Excuse me. / - Perhaps her body froze.
- Stop it. / - Perhaps her body froze.
Stop it.
Myungsoo always tells dad jokes
- towards the end. / - When someone is
sitting still in minus 20 degrees Celsius,
that means her body froze.
Eunhye, you resemble Joey Wong.
Do people in Hong Kong say that as well?
Yes, they do.
When I filmed a movie with Leon Lai,
he told me over a meal
that my posture, facial expression
and style of speech are similar to hers.
An advertiser in Hong Kong got you insured
- for 1.6 million dollars. / - What is that about?
When I went to Hong Kong for the first time,
he got me insured because it can get dangerous
when there is a big crowd.
Back then, I went to many nice restaurants,
but I always entered through the back door.
Did you have so many fans that
you couldn't walk down the street?
I don't think so. They didn't let me walk.
They probably didn't want to disappoint me.
They were taking precautions.
They were worried.
I remember that.
Lucas.
Do you have a celebrity rival?
- Tell us what you think. / - A celebrity rival.
- I have one. / - Who is it?
Justin Bieber.
- Really? / - He is your rival.
In the US, people have Justin Bieber.
In Asia, people need an idol.
That's me, Lucas.
(That's me, Lucas.)
Justin Bieber of Asia, Lucas.
I heard that you are a fan of Justin Bieber.
- Yes. / - You can copy his face.
- I can copy his face. / - Let's see it.
Okay. Come on.
- He is the young Joon Park. / - Take a look.
Justin Bieber does this for a picture.
Face the camera.
- That's right. / - He looks similar.
He poses like this.
(He looks like a copy.)
(They become excited for the next expression.)
Face the camera.
- I can sing his song. / - Go ahead.
(In the US, there is Justin Bieber.)
He is similar.
He is like Justin Bieber. He looks the same.
(I am a pop star.)
He is like Justin Bieber.
(He shows Justin Bieber's explosive groove.)
(Applause)
Sometimes, he is like Minho.
Sometimes, he is like Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Just now, he was like Justin Bieber.
- A tall Justin Bieber. / - That's right.
Bona, you bawled
when you were preparing to act
in "Girls' Generation 1979".
The thing is,
my character had a bob cut.
It couldn't be helped since my character was a student.
During the audition, the director said,
"If you get this role,"
"you will need to get a bob cut."
"Will you be able to do it?"
I didn't know I would get the job,
so I said, "I'll be glad to get a haircut"
"if you give me the role." Then I got the role.
I had really long hair then.
It came down to here.
I had to get it cut up to here.
It was my first time to get a bob cut.
I burst into tears during the haircut.
I was so sad to let it go.
I knew I would look ugly with that hair.
During the haircut, I ran into the restroom
and cried behind locked doors.
The hairdresser told me, "Bona, it's okay."
"Give me five minutes."
I finally calmed down and got the haircut.
Then I washed my hands. When women lean forward,
their hair cascade down.
I tried to hold my hair, but it was gone.
(Her hair was gone.)
- I cried again. / - You cried again.
I calmed down and went to the dormitory.
I took a nap, used the restroom and came out.
The members were startled.
They were wondering who I was.
They didn't recognize you.
- It was the haircut. / - I laugh about it now,
but I was really sad back then.
- It was pretty. / - A bob cut suited you.
It was shocking that I had gotten a bob cut.
It was the first time you tried it.
It takes a long time to grow your hair out.
I heard you were touched at a shooting one time.
I was often touched by the senior actors.
I debuted as an actress through "The Best Hit".
Cha Taehyun was the producer of the drama.
I was filming the first scene of the first shooting.
The scene involved taking off my heels
and walking on the rooftop.
Since I had no prior experiences,
I didn't know that
I should have brought a pair of slippers.
I was monitoring the scene barefoot
when Taehyun took off his shoes for me.
He told me to wear his shoes.
I told him I was okay,
but he insisted and said he's wearing socks anyway.
He gave me his sneakers.
I have always wanted to talk about it on TV,
but I hadn't the chance.
(It's an unforgettable memory.)
You also received a gift after the last shot.
I don't know if I can talk about it on TV.
After the last shot, I got in the van
and found a luxury-brand passport wallet.
Who gave it to you?
Cha Taehyun.
It was a thank-you gift to the actors.
Did he give the gift to all actors?
- Yes. / - All actors?
- Was it genuine? / - Yes.
It wouldn't be a counterfeit.
- Seriously. / - He wouldn't do that.
This is embarrassing.
- He is on another level. / - That's impressive.
I can't believe he did it for all the actors.
- It's quite a feat. / - That's right.
Yoojung, you were surprised by Jisung's kindness.
I'm friends with Jisung and Lee Boyoung.
They visit my place often.
This made me respect Jisung.
I guess Boyoung's eyes were itchy.
When she rubbed her eyes,
Jisung said this.
He didn't ask, "Should I get the eye drops?"
He said, "I'll go get the eye drops."
He didn't even ask.
He said, "I'll go get the eye drops."
It's probable Boyoung has scolded him before.
It's plausible.
"What did I tell you?"
"I told you to buy eye drops."
There may be more to the story.
We are giving you another interpretation.
We need to see it from all aspects.
Maybe he was scolded for it before.
While it's touching,
it's not as big as I thought it would be.
I thought it would be really big.
- It's really big. / - That's right.
This is the behavior that touches a woman.
Rather than a question...
It's better to say, "I will go and get them."
You should carry eye drops.
"Here you go."
You could wear a band of eye drops.
(You could wear a band of eye drops.)
The bands could form an X.
(He is a model husband.)
- Ointment, eye drops... / - Bandage.
That's right.
- Antiseptic. / - That's a good one.
You can carry everything.
Eunhye, you were touched by Lee Seojin.
Yes. I didn't hear this until later.
Since "Lee San, Wind of the Palace" was a hit,
a few episodes got added.
Seojin demanded that
the senior actors and extras
with small roles get a raise first.
(Take care of them first.)
He also bought an expensive padded jacket for everyone.
He demanded that
the others get paid first.
It was touching.
(He put the others before him.)
- It's very different / - Yes.
from variety shows.
We tend to say, "Pay me first."
"Lower Cho Saeho's appearance fee."
"He got too big of a raise."
"Why do I get paid less than Saeho?"
(Why do I get paid less than Saeho?)
He speaks in a brusque manner when he is on TV.
He is mischievous and funny,
- but it doesn't show. / - That's right.
He takes care of the actors who seem to need his help.
- He's incredible. / - Even if an actor
had a small role,
Seojin talked to the director if he was in need.
There is a reason behind his long career.
- That's right. / - Long live Lee Seojin.
Both NCT and WJSN have a lot of members.
- WJSN has 13 members. / - That's right.
Doesn't the stage seem too small?
- That's right. / - This time,
all 18 members take the stage.
- Is it okay? / - Yes, it is.
Doesn't the stage seem too small?
There are stages with all 18 members.
Then there are stages for sub-units.
They sometimes choose by rock-paper-scissors.
Some members get left out.
It's humane.
NCT has that system.
WJSN stays together,
but there is a sub-unit for events
because we can't stand in a line
- on some stages. / - That's right.
Then we get divided into two groups.
You practice for those events.
When we debuted...
Since there are 13 members,
the dance routine is very fast-paced.
- That's right. / - We can't wear heels
because we must run around.
Sometimes, the floor of the set comes up
and the set collapses.
Goodness, that's not good.
You should check the set first.
The stage is one thing,
but how does it work in the dormitory?
You must use bunk beds.
Actually, we have
three dormitories.
- They are divided up. / - Three dormitories.
The members of WJSN live in one dormitory.
We used to do that.
However, sharing the restroom
took us forever to get ready.
So we live in two dormitories now.
When you lived in one dormitory,
using the restroom must have been a hassle.
Seriously.
If we were pressed for time,
we went to a public bathhouse to wash up.
That's a solution.
It takes forever to wait for the shower,
- so we did that. / - You went to the sauna.
Lucas, do you have a similar problem?
Yes. When I brush my teeth...
What do I call this?
- Toothpaste. / - Toothpaste.
There are too many toothpastes.
When I am in a hurry in the morning,
I take any...
- Toothbrush. / - Yes, toothbrush.
I take any toothbrush.
You used a toothbrush that isn't yours.
Then I realize, "This isn't..."
- "This isn't mine." / - "This isn't mine."
(They complete his sentence together.)
This is what I realized from hearing Lucas talk.
He says he understands 70 percent of Korean,
but we do all the work for him.
Think about it.
Not many words
come out of his mouth.
We go, "This? That?"
We do all the work.
You will know once you see this episode.
We do all the work.
I told the story about NCT's dormitories.
"Toothpaste? Toothbrush?"
You were like a member of NCT.
You were like a member of NCT.
(He is like a new member.)
Thank you so much.
Don't mention it.
Both WJSN and NCT have foreign members.
There must be cultural differences.
When I arrived in Korea for the first time,
it was really hard to say hello to people.
I wasn't used
to bowing.
You weren't used to it.
I would say, "Hi" and walk on.
The senior singers didn't like it.
(What did we see just now?)
- "Hi." / - That's right.
Since I am taller,
I looked down to them as I said, "Hi."
They might have been more offended.
Since they are shorter than you,
they might have been more offended.
- I see. / - I have another story.
When I didn't know much Korean,
I called a man, "Honey".
You called a man, "Honey".
"Honey".
"Changjung honey."
"Changjung honey."
"Changjung honey."
"Changjung honey" has a nice ring to it.
(You can't help but fall for Lucas' charms.)
We bring you five guests
for our "Stars with Superior Genes Special".
Please tell us about your future plans.
I will release a new song before Chuseok,
- and appear on TV. / - I see.
I founded an entertainment company
to train young artists like Lucas and Bona.
- I began working on it. / - That's incredible.
I want to train talented artists
who will bring happiness to people.
All right.
To prepare my children for elementary school,
I had my workload lessened.
There were too many things to prepare.
Since a semester has passed, I want to start over.
I want to resume working.
I will look after my husband as a good wife.
I will work in a good drama soon.
We look forward to seeing you more often.
By the time this episode airs,
WJSN would have made a comeback.
If an opportunity arises, I will star in a drama.
Good luck, Bona.
Lucas.
No. 1 in the world!
No. 1 in the world!
(No. 1 in the world)
"No. 1 in the world".
I think he will achieve it.
Please remember Lucas of NCT.
- My goodness. / - He will achieve it.
- Justin Bieber of Asia. / - He will achieve it.
Lucas will become No. 1 in the world.
We thank everyone for joining us.
We will give Korean pork set as a gift.
- It's a gift. / - Really?
Enjoy it.
Thank you.
Happy Together, let's go!
(Happy Together, let's go!)
Thank you.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
(We thank the guests for joining us.)
("There Has Never Been a Day")
