Writing about the stories of
the presidential candidates that lost in the election
through Lee Gyeonggyu's eyes.
He's been trying since 2015.
I see.
Please vote for me.
While writing the article I thought this was too harsh.
He changed his voice and said, "Who is it?"
(He prepared thoroughly for the interview)
(And he finally meets one of the candidates)
(Slide)
(White pants are the most fashionable item)
(He's really dressed up compared to his usual dress)
I just came relaxed. (Stiff)
(Who is the first candidate that he'll meet?)
(19th presidential election candidate, Yoo Seongmin)
(He got the 4th highest number of votes)
(Gyeonggyu finally meets him in person)
What I'm most curious about?
(Contemplating)
Will he run for the election again next time?
(He really does ask the question!)
(Author Lee's piercing question)
The next election is 5 years later.
Who knows what will happen then?
The next question is...
Did he really think he'd win? (His second question?)
When you ran for the presidential election,
did you run thinking that you'd win?
(Lee Gyeonggyu's questions are so blunt)
(They even perplex Yoo Seongmin)
What changed after the election?
How did people around you react?
(Gyeonggyu meets Candidate Yoo Seongmin)
(He's like a Santorini gentleman waiting for his lover)
(A nice car shyly drives in)
(He watches in hiding)
His car drove in.
He said he'd be here at 2 p.m. and he's right on time.
He got off the car.
(Presidential election candidate, Yoo Seongmin)
I'm nervous.
I'm sure he's nervous, too.
Because this is different from a political debate.
Are you nervous?
No, why would I be?
Have you ever met Lee Gyeonggyu before?
No.
I've only seen him on television.
I've always liked him.
I'm his fan.
I've read his book. (They know of each other)
As a result of reading his book...
I think he and I think alike.
I think he'll be a nice person.
What do you think about him?
Lee Gyeonggyu?
I think he'd be difficult.
Do you think I'm difficult?
A little.
(Obviously)
You should think differently!
Don't you have a temper?
(Can't dispute the facts)
He's quick on his feet.
We're around the same age.
How do you know his age?
I looked it up on the internet.
He was born in 1960
so he's 2 years younger than I am.
He's older than I am.
We will meet and have a wonderful talk.
Is there something you wish he wouldn't ask you?
Not really.
(Do you mean that?)
Why did you do that?
Well, I...
(Author Gyeonggyu's piercing questions)
(I'm thirsty...)
(The encounter of two men who like each other)
You'll meet him soon. Are you nervous?
Yes.
I've never met a celebrity like him
and I've always wanted to meet him.
(He's walking up the stairs)
(He's on his way to meet Lee Gyeonggyu)
(Once he turns around the corner...)
Hello. Hello.
Nice to meet you.
It's good to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. / - Nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you in person like this.
The same goes for me.
I think I watched you on television my whole life.
- Really? / - I'm your fan.
Thank you.
It's an honor to meet someone so famous.
I'm embarrassed.
I saw that you are 2 years older than I am.
- You're my older brother's age. / - Oh, really?
- Should we sit over there? / - Yes.
- So I'm your brother's age... / - Yes.
I thought you meant you'd treat me like your brother.
(Yoo Seongmin attacks first)
I will, after the shoot.
(Chapter 1. Why did you come here?)
This is your first time on an entertainment program?
This is an entertainment program?
(Perplexed)
It's a high-quality entertainment program.
(King Gyeonggyu is quick with the recovery)
I heard that you've been asked to be on
other entertainment programs, too.
Yes I was, but
I've never met such a famous celebrity
and I've never been on a television program like this.
What am I like now that you've met me in person?
You're ordinary.
(Yoo Seongmin attacks again)
I thought you would be someone special.
(He is soft-spoken but says everything he wants)
Alright. Even if I yell during the interview,
please be understanding.
I've been attacked by people much scarier than you.
(Angry Gyeonggyu)
So no matter how scary you act...
Can I be like, "You're so frustrating"?
Why did you decide to be on We Like Zines?
I'll be honest with you.
At first, I heard that this is an entertainment program
and since I don't have the talent to be on one,
I declined the offer once.
- You did? / - Yes.
Then some close friends of mine found out
and told me that I should appear on the show
and let myself be known to people.
Since I lost in the presidential election
they said I should appear on the show.
They pushed me to do so and here I am.
Then I will comfortably ask you questions.
If there is a question that you cannot answer...
I've been in politics for many years.
If I can't answer it, I won't.
(Worrying about a politician is quite useless)
If I don't answer interestingly, it will be edited out.
Let's talk about the presidential election.
You were ranked no. 4.
You got 6.76% of the votes.
You remember the exact number.
I memorized it all night.
What do you think about the result?
What percentage did you honestly expect?
And how did you feel when you saw the result?
I was quite disappointed.
The public opinion poll was never on my side.
Then after the TV debate, it started to change.
Towards the end, about 10 days before
the election, the percentage started to go up.
So people on my campaign said
if we only had 10 more days...
If I receive less than 10% of the votes,
I don't get paid back for the election campaign.
10 to 15% gets half back and
above 15% gets 100% back.
So I felt bad regarding that issue.
But 2.2 million people voted for me.
That means each of those votes didn't go to
Moon Jaein or Hong Joonpyo. They voted for me.
In a way, these people
made a hard decision to vote for me, right?
They knew there was a high possibility that I won't
win so in a way I was disappointed but grateful.
What did they expect from me when they voted for me?
When I think of that, I feel greatly responsible.
Many people from their 20s to 40s voted for me.
You said you can tell by shaking people's hands?
Most of the time, I can tell.
But if they are nice to everyone, I can't.
Then let me shake hands with you.
It's not just from the shake.
I look into the person's eyes when I shake hands.
(Eyes are the windows to one's soul)
I can tell by looking at people's eyes.
Do you think I voted for you?
(Did Gyeonggyu vote for Yoo Seongmin?)
(Who did Gyeonggyu vote for?)
I don't think so.
(Only Gyeonggyu knows the truth...)
So you can tell?
We call it eye contact.
The moment our eyes meet is very brief.
- Your eyes shook a little. / - They did?
(Checking the fact)
(His eyeballs are shaking)
(You didn't vote for me, right?)
Out of the reporters, they're called mark men.
They were always with each candidate.
I had a meal with them.
He really liked you.
I think he voted for you.
Any reporters who know me
probably voted for me.
(Idol of the reporters)
You're the most popular one among young reporters.
I witnessed it myself so I'm telling it to you.
(He heard untold stories about the candidates)
(When he met with the mark men last week)
Hello, everyone. I'm Lee Gyeonggyu.
I am here today to meet
the people who have many sources
on the people I'm going to write about.
Don't I remind you of someone?
President Moon Jaein... (This fashion!)
President Moon Jaein hiked up
Bukaksan with the reporters
who exclusively covered him during the election.
I wore a similar outfit to what he wore then.
I wore a similar outfit to what he wore then.
Let me tell you who I will meet today.
They are the reporters who exclusively covered
the candidates during the election.
They're called mark men.
Here are the reporters.
(Five mark men who will tell us untold stories!)
Hello. Nice to meet you.
You all look very familiar.
(Mark men and Gyeonggyu's first encounter!)
Did you cover President Moon Jaein?
- No? / - No.
President Moon?
No.
You only seem to be interested in President Moon.
(No, no)
(I was just curious about the Blue House...)
You are wearing a similar outfit, too.
(Ha ha ha ha ha)
Don't try to place me on any side.
I'm on the side of the current government.
(Here are the mark men of the candidates)
I'm from CBS.
(Park Geunhye and Moon Jaein are totally different)
(Reporter Kim Suyeong of CBS No Cut News)
I'm from Yeonhap News.
(Hong Joonpyo on his final campaign...)
(Reporter Hong Jeonggyu from Yeonhap News)
I'm Choi Munjong from the KBS Politics Office.
(Ahn says Korea has been ignorant of human rights)
(Reporter Choi Munjong)
Pressian.
(Crybaby Yoo Seongmin moved the youth)
(Reporter Choi Hayan)
I'm with KBS Politics.
(Sim Sangjung "The country with proud laborers")
(Reporter Choi Geonil)
(The mark men of the 19th presidential election)
Then...
President Moon hiked Bukaksan.
I heard that he hiked for 2 hours.
We're not hiking for 2 hours, are we?
20 minutes.
(Get Gyeonggyu to the National Assembly!)
Let's go.
You're all covering me today?
Shouldn't you choose who will be right beside you?
(Then it should be...)
(President Moon's mark man)
Candidate Yoo Seongmin's glasses.
No, these are mine.
- Candidate Yoo's glasses. / - They are similar.
It took months to get him to change the glasses.
You did that?
He had silver-framed glasses before.
But he looked too cold?
So he changed to black-framed glasses.
It took several months to change his glasses.
We change it right away when we get sponsored.
(They finally arrive at the entrance!)
Here we are.
Let's take a picture.
Why is this funny?
Let's take a picture.
Look friendly. 1, 2, 3.
(What is this feeling? Achasan?)
Since they lost the election.
Let's go down now.
(Get Gyeonggyu to the National Assembly!)
Let's go have some rice wine.
(Is this how President Moon felt?)
(When he hiked with the reporters?)
(While they are talking about the election)
Wait. Nice to meet you.
(Seems to be very clear about his intentions)
Please vote for me.
(People have gathered around, cheese!)
(Zines Party, Candidate Lee campaigns at Achasan)
I will make a great country.
(Here's another vote!)
Let's go.
(He voluntarily ends the campaign)
That was fun.
The candidates knew which region was on their side?
Sure. When they're there...
The mood is different.
The candidates may not know themselves.
Because people around them are cheering.
During the campaign period,
the candidates have such a tough schedule,
that it's normal for them to be sick.
They were actually not feeling too well.
If news got out that they are sick...
- That's trouble. / - Right.
People would worry that they may get sick often.
Ahn Cheolsoo said he would pour all his energy out
and collapse after the election.
But I saw him walking around after a few days.
So I asked him why he's walking around.
He didn't spend all his energy.
He said he left a little aside.
I asked him why.
He said he'd have to work immediately if he won.
(Just in case... Just in case...)
That's understandable. (He was quite prepared)
Aren't you tired?
I am very tired.
(He's quite kind today)
How did you get interested in politics?
You're writing a book on politics.
I just wanted to know what the candidates thought.
And how they faced the election.
Did they really think they'd win?
Those untold stories are interesting.
Reporter Kim Suyeong, do you get a bonus
because President Moon won the election?
If the candidate you root for wins,
it's nice in a way, but...
Other reporters are taking a break right now,
but I'm busier than I was during the election.
Because you have to continue covering him.
She got more work as a bonus.
I have more work to do.
If the candidate you're marking isn't who you
voted for, you're grateful that he lost.
Because you can rest.
(So honest)
Are you relaxed?
Very much.
Marking the person doesn't mean you vote for him.
We do it because we were ordered to do so.
(I just did what I was told to do...)
(After a short break...)
Why did he go hiking after winning the election?
A president normally has to work every day
for 5 years without a break,
so his advisors told him to rest then.
But he's been to the Himalayas several times
so he climbed up Bukaksan to take a break.
The purpose was nice, but
reporters in politics only get to rest on Saturdays.
Since the newspapers come out on Sunday
we only get to rest on Saturdays.
On Friday he suggested going hiking
and asked the mark men to join them, too.
There was a large sigh when he suggested it.
When the reporters complained that they were tired
he asked, "Doesn't it hurt your back
to lie down and sleep all day?"
It doesn't hurt at all.
We only get to sleep in for one day.
So the reporters called him "the manager."
(I just wanted to communicate...)
Managers tell the employees to
come and spend time together on weekends
and employees get yelled at by their wives.
(They walked on for another 10 minutes or so)
Let's turn around and take a picture.
We must take a picture with this background.
We climbed up a lot.
We came up too much.
Line up in the order of the polling scores.
- In the order of polling scores. / - Where am I?
Wait for me.
Let's go! We Like Zines!
(A fun walk up Achasan with the reporters)
(After they finish their hike...)
Last time, President Moon...
After the hike, President Moon ate
chicken soup for lunch at the cafeteria...
(President Moon ate chicken soup after the hike)
(Since President Moon did it, let's do it as well)
That's why we've come to a chicken soup place.
Let's eat up.
(Now it's time for the reporters...)
(To tell us the real stories about the candidates)
(As it was a tight election schedule)
(It was a tough journey for the reporters)
(We would like to hear the true stories)
(About the candidates from those who were closest)
(Let's hear those stories now)
I need to write about each candidate.
What was your first impression of Hong Joonpyo?
His nickname is Angry Hong.
His first impression is quite strong.
He's a little bit like you.
Angry Gyeonggyu.
- We're quite similar. / - Right?
Even things like this, "How frustrating."
No matter how many times I say it...
You're quite frustrating.
How frustrating.
I heard that I resemble Sohn Sukhee a lot.
- What? / - Where did you hear that?
That's false news.
(Awkward)
His first impression was quite strong.
I thought he's a strong person.
(Hong Joonpyo during the campaign)
I guess I'll make it this time.
(Freedom for the rich, opportunity for commoners)
When it comes to Hong Joonpyo...
He's most famous for his blunt comments.
He's a thief.
If Moon Jaein becomes the president,
I'll burn to death.
As I wrote articles, I thought some were too harsh.
Give us an example.
When you meet him in person,
he doesn't exaggerate himself.
He just says what's on his mind.
And then he regrets it.
He calls the next day to apologize.
(Ha ha ha)
He's human.
People usually think he's broad-minded and fierce.
Isn't he quite distant with strangers?
Yes, he is in a way.
It seems surprising coming from him.
He says it because he was traumatized in life.
I heard his life story.
He came from a poor family and
as a prosecutor, he went through some hard times.
That's why he isn't
friendly with people easily.
What did you think of Candidate Yoo Seongmin?
Candidate Yoo Seongmin was...
I thought he is quite sophisticated.
- Right? / - Yes.
I only talked to him a few times,
but he has this charm to get you to like him.
Really?
He's also a professional.
That's what I got from him.
He's a fool for his daughter, right?
He's a complete fool for his daughter.
He can't help but be a fool for her.
Even the background picture on his phone is...
- His daughter?/ - His daughter's picture.
If we collect all your votes, I will become president.
(His daughter cheered for her dad by his side)
(Yoo Seongmin's daughter sways people to vote)
(Yoo Dam continues to help her dad)
(His reliable, beautiful daughter)
He'd say, "Let's not talk about my daughter" or
"Let's not bring my family into this."
But whenever his daughter came up, his eyes...
He'd be like, "My Dam."
Does he usually yell when he's upset?
Or does he hold it in?
Candidate Yoo seems cold
on the outside.
But he gave me lots of feedback...
(He communicated with so many people)
Young reporters mostly liked
Candidate Yoo Seongmin the most.
That was most visible when...
There's an award the reporters vote once a year for.
It's called the Baekbong Gentleman's Award.
We choose the most gentlemanly politician.
Candidate Yoo Seongmin won this award.
That shows which politician is the most popular.
It's sort of like a popularity award.
What about Candidate Sim Sangjung?
Her first impression...
The country with proud laborers!
I will make that country.
(She was concerned about the reality of laborers)
(And hoped for a brighter future for the youth)
She wasn't excessive when she met people.
She followed her principles.
She's a bit comical.
She is full of joy.
(Right! Joy!)
(Can't stop the joy inside me)
(The dancing machine on her campaigns)
(Bounce, bounce)
She did look like it.
In terms of her personality,
she's shy and she gets perplexed at times.
I remember the first KBS Debate.
(2017 KBS Presidential Debate )
(On the day of the debate)
The country with proud laborers.
I'm Candidate No. 5, Sim Samjung.
Respected people of Korea...
She was quite worried about being on television.
She had a lot to be mindful of and she was nervous.
She was told to say the slogan and introduce herself.
She turns to me and asks, "What's my slogan again?"
Because she was nervous.
The country with proud laborers.
(The slogan she repeated so many times...)
Her mind was blank.
The slogan she said hundreds of times...
She couldn't remember it at that moment.
She was nervous.
Do you think I remembered it at the time?
We couldn't find the answer...
You nearly made one up.
Fortunately, the campaign manager came
and she remembered the slogan and proceeded.
I told the campaign manager about what happened
and he told me to keep it a secret until the election.
(I can reveal it now)
I can reveal it now.
It's fatal.
It's the party's slogan.
(Fortunately...)
The country with proud laborers.
I'm Candidate No. 5, Sim Samjung.
There was one thing that I felt bad for her.
She didn't have anything to wear.
She was on her way from her campaign in Ulsan.
That's why she was late.
She was still dressed from the campaign.
Congresswoman Chu Hyeseon
bought her some clothes from the mart.
- Two suits. / - Not a department store?
So someone bought her outfits,
but they didn't suit her taste.
She should've gone together to buy them.
So she didn't wear those outfits.
(She ended up borrowing the outfit from KBS)
That's what happened.
That's unfortunate.
This time, the debate was quite important
so every candidate had to be nervous.
Even Ahn Cheolsoo faced unexpected situations
and when he wasn't feeling in top shape,
his hands woud tremble.
And his lips.
(SBS TV Debate)
(Nervous hand tremor)
(His eyes are wandering, twitching lips)
(Jingle jingle jingle jingle up and down, up and down)
I think every candidate had that.
President Moon rolled his eyes.
What would you do if people find out it's a lie?
(Unstable eyes, they roll counterclockwise)
(After blinking twice, his eyes roll left and right)
(Roll)
- Roll. / - Right.
He does that thing with his eyes.
He rolls his eyes like this.
The brain sends the signal.
How was Candidate Ahn Cheolsoo?
His first impression
was nice.
(Candidate Ahn Cheolsoo's campaign)
(No politics can win people, no party can win people)
(In the end, people win)
(The candidate who dreamed of opening the future)
He is just like a typical engineering student.
Very similar.
Like a country boy who got good grades.
He is very smart.
You can tell just by looking at him.
Whenever he talked about new policies,
he would say top 3, top 5, top 7...
He would always number them.
Like students who get good grades.
He also has a great memory.
He was smart and got good grades,
but I'm not sure if he remembers me.
(Disappointed)
(He reported the news every day)
(And was present during the campaigns)
(And in fact...)
(He was always around the candidate...)
I greeted him and
he seemed to recognize me, but...
Even when you're shaking hands
saying, "Nice to see you, Reporter Choi" and,
"Hello" are quite different.
He never called me by my name.
There are many scriptwriters when I do a program.
A lot of the times, I don't know their names.
I just call out "Scriptwriter Kim."
Why? Because most of them are Kims?
Some congressmen do that.
If I'm facing them like this, they go... Oh!
There are some congressmen who are good at that.
If you go one better than that...
"When did I last see you?"
Some of us do this with our phones.
"I'm Reporter Choi from KBS." Some reporters get a
service to have their names pop up when they call.
I called for the first time and some answer this way.
"Oh, Reporter Choi. It's been a long time."
They thought they entered the name themselves.
They got confused.
I was calling them for the first time.
What did you first think of President Moon?
The bereaved families of the Seweol Ferry or
those people in need. He can't pass them by.
When there was a crane accident in Geojae,
he was comforting the victims and his eyes were red.
He can't pass by without comforting them.
His hands were bruised during the election
because he can't pass by without consoling them.
He's a warm-hearted person, but
being a warm and kind person
is very different from being an affectionate person.
He's not an affectionate person.
He's a typical man from Gyeongsang-do.
He's very curt.
When I talk to his advisors,
the president just trusts them to do the work.
"Must I spell it out?"
He has that type of Gyeongsang-do mentality.
There was controversy about good-looks
in his campaign.
What did that come from?
It wasn't from anything official.
Just some netizens mentioned President Moon,
Chief Secretary Im Jongseok,
and Secretary of Civil Affairs Jo Guk
as examples.
(Blue House Over Flowers)
They are all very handsome.
They argued this was politics focused on looks.
That's where the controversy came from.
What was my first impression like?
You have very smooth skin.
You look at his skin.
You have a small face.
That's what we talked about among ourselves.
You're indeed an entertainer.
Thank you.
I should run for office.
Then we will be your mark men.
- That's not bad. / - That's a good idea.
You must answer our calls.
(He gets excited just thinking about it)
As I was preparing for this book I thought,
"Is there any corruption around me?"
Then before running for the president,
let us verify it.
The biggest problem is the conscription issue.
- You served in the army? / - I was a sergeant.
Even your children could become an issue.
I have a daughter so she doesn't have to serve.
- Property issues? / - No, no problems there.
- Plagiarizing your thesis. / - Tax evasion.
(Doesn't apply)
I didn't evade any tax.
Then we will interview your manager and chauffeur.
(Let's just say we never brought this up)
When I thought about running for office,
there were a few issues that could be a problem.
Don't write about them in a book like Hong Joonpyo.
(Brought on his own loss)
You must be nice to your manager, chauffeur
and even those you broke up with in the past.
You must treat them well.
Because I never know what they're going to say?
Make sure you treat the staff members well.
(It will be hard to run for president...)
(Their stories continued)
He struggled to complete the election.
There were many issues along the way.
He should overcome the old man image.
He has a sense of duty and responsibility.
He has a mind of sacrificing for others.
He said he would become the president of all people
so I'm sure he will do well.
During the election campaigns
vendors at traditional markets give out food.
(The traditional market is where votes are won)
(Candidates all visit traditional markets)
(They eat)
(And eat)
(Spicy rice cakes, fried foods, blood sausage...)
(Fish cakes and small octopus, sea cucumber...)
(They eat until they're full and some more)
(They must eat well to win people's votes)
Weren't some candidates hesitant to do that?
Candidate Ahn Cheolsoo didn't do that at first
but this time he really tried hard like he always does.
Like he studied.
He was told he has to eat street food well.
He was a different man in May.
- He was improving. / - With eating?
- Want me to tear a leg off for you? / - No...
(Candidate Ahn hurriedly but politely left the vendor)
(But he went back to the market at night...)
Thank you.
- Where do I eat this? / - Just standing there.
(He was perplexed at first but...)
(He mustered up courage and took a bite)
(He tried hard and continued to eat)
His speech and eating all improved.
He even changed his voice.
"Who am I?"
(Ahn Cheolsoo's 3-levels of change: "Standard")
("Evolving")
("Complete")
He really doesn't have any ulterior motives.
He looks nice that
he wanted to work hard to change the country
with a sense of duty and responsibility.
You need to study how to eat on television, right?
Candidate Yoo Seongmin once held up an octopus.
(Candidate Yoo also visited a traditional market)
The reporters with cameras wanted to take a picture
so he had no choice to hold it up.
What am I supposed to do with this?
(He had no choice but to hold it...)
But once you touch it, you have to buy it.
You're selling it at a cheap price.
Thank you.
Since there are so many cameras.
The advisors must do a good job.
They must figure out the candidates' tastes.
If they can't eat live octopus, don't make them eat it.
That's not good.
They must stop it at the right time.
Since they are busy, they can't be considerate.
Were you ever disappointed by the candidates?
What about Candidate Hong Joonpyo?
Maybe he can fix it someday, but
when he writes
he has many grammatical errors.
So many times.
I told him many times.
It's not "eupnida," it's "seupnida."
You told him?
When you see them making that mistake...
Governor Kim Moonsoo gets that wrong often, too.
Older people have written it that way for so long.
They can't easily fix that.
If he continues to make that mistake,
it means he is an old person.
He can't run for the next election without fixing that.
(But... He broke his long habit...)
(Candidate Hong overcame it)
Candidates travel to other cities to campaign.
During the election, we were on tight schedules
so our train times were already set.
(When Candidate Moon showed up)
(People rushed to meet him)
He couldn't pass people without shaking their hands
or taking selfies,
so it took a long time just to make an entrance.
So the reporters were always antsy.
The candidates can travel in their own cars,
but we have to get on the bus and travel...
So you could miss your bus.
So whenever he shook hands,
I hoped he would skip some people.
(If only he'd speed it up like this...)
But he shook hands with everyone.
We had to sprint with a lunch box in our hands
but some of us spilled our lunch.
It's quite tough for the mark men.
The bus is much slower than cars.
So we always arrived late.
We couldn't eat well and wrote articles on the bus.
At least you got to ride on buses.
(No bus is a sad reality of minor political parties)
It's hard even when you get to ride the bus,
but I either ride on advisors' cars or the candidate's.
Even the candidate's car?
When we go to a nearby place.
How nice.
Having many mark men means it's competitive.
We're afraid we might miss something.
Don't you get to listen in on the meetings?
Other parties...
How funny.
(Security is important, sharing strategy meetings)
They don't tell us to leave during meetings.
You just sit there?
Other parties tend to hold meetings and
tell the reporters to leave.
But not our party.
So I have to censor stuff on my own.
I will meet Candidate Sim soon.
I will make sure to mention that.
Candidate Moon is now the president.
What do you want him to change?
He's the president now so I can't...
You can enter the Blue House, right?
I'm sure it's overwhelming.
It is.
One thing that I'm disappointed by is that
since he is older, he has white hair.
Reporters suggested that he dye his hair
since he's popular among younger people, too.
We told him many times,
but he doesn't like to do anything
that's not natural, so instead of dying his hair
he's been using a shampoo that naturally
colors hair over time.
I don't know if it's working or not,
but sometimes his hair looks yellow
and sometimes it looks purple.
- It looks spotted. / - Yes, so we also...
Talked to his wife about it.
She said, "I talked to Jaein about it,
but he's too stubborn and won't listen.
He got his hair done by himself somewhere
and he looks spotted like a Dalmatian."
She calls him Jaein?
Yes, I was surprised by that.
(The president and the first lady are affectionate)
She would say, "Jaein is quite curt, but please
be understanding. He's not normally like that."
She calls him by his name and it sounds nice.
What does he call her?
I don't think I ever heard him call her.
I don't think he would.
Since he's a Gyeongsang-do man.
He doesn't call his wife by a pet name?
What about you?
I don't either.
(Before meeting the candidates)
I have to interview the candidates.
What are things that I should watch out for?
Something that may upset them
or they don't like.
If you could give me advice on those things.
I will go first.
In case of congressmen or candidates,
they have a lot of knowledge.
So when a reporter asks some questions,
they know exactly how much knowledge
that reporter has.
So when you interview them,
if you don't know something, just tell them.
Don't try to pretend you know about policies
in front of them. If you do,
they may get mad at you.
Alright. (Gyeonggyu promised to be humble)
You spent many hours to hike with me
and have chicken soup with me.
Next time when I'm running for president...
(Prior investigation on the candidates, the end)
("My Life's Last Romance" by Lee Yongdae)
(Yongdae and his wife are shooting themselves)
We have to do this. 1, 2, 3.
(But they didn't actually record anything)
There.
Again. 1, 2, 3. Ta-da.
(Wife Byeon Sumi, husband Lee Yongdae)
Pull down your bangs.
(He wants to fight? He points out her looks)
This is our book.
The most important thing is the cover.
What kind of cover do you want?
It should be warm because it's about love.
Too cliche?
It's too cliche. (Don't want to read it...)
Take a look.
What color do you think Yebin will like?
Pink?
(Your taste is too textbook...)
I don't know why the program asked you to be on it.
Why?
Isn't it great?
We heard that you suggested him to write a book.
What is the reason?
Many daughters aren't friends with their dads.
But I'm very close with my father.
In life, I think it's important
to know that there's someone behind you
to support you.
Not something materialistic, but psychologically.
Someone she can turn to when life gets tough.
I loved that I can always turn to my father in life.
I want my husband and my daughter
to have that bond.
A tight bond. (Like my dad and me)
(Memories of Sumi's childhood left by her father)
(She didn't know then)
(But now she realizes how much he loved her)
Did father really videotape you?
That's unbelievable. How did he do that?
That's what's left in my memories the most.
There are so many video clips.
Once I had a fight with my brother
and I was in my room upset.
I was crying with my head down by myself
and he filmed it.
Byeon Sumi.
Byeon Sumi. (My father's young voice)
Don't.
My dad was by my side
making sure that I was breathing.
(Dad listened to his daughter breathing)
I was that valuable to him.
Yebin, you're sleeping so well.
(He can't help but stare at his girl sleeping)
(Babies are valuable to all parents)
(He writes letters to his beloved daughter)
(And records them as a book)
Yebin's profile.
Let's write them down.
First. Height.
Height?
Up to here?
I'll stretch her legs.
- 58.5cm. / - 58.5cm.
- Okay. / - 58.5cm.
- Head circumference. / - Head circumference.
How do I do this?
What does it say?
38cm.
Then what should we measure? Weight?
I'll bring the scale.
Should I take off my socks?
Why?
(Clumsy)
76.2kg?
Here.
How much do you weigh?
81.6kg. (Dad + Yebin = 81.6kg)
Let's take off 200g for clothes. 5.2kg.
Her name is Lee Yebin.
Her height is 58.5cm.
Weight is 5.2kg. Head circumference 37cm.
She has grown a lot.
(Mom and dad are still in the process of maturing)
(But Yebin is growing up very fast)
(Our family's hands!)
She has big hands. Maybe she'll be an athlete.
(Fart)
- Why are you farting? / - It wasn't me.
It sounds just like your fart.
She keeps farting. (Sounds like an adult's)
(Fart, fart)
She's doing beatbox with her farts.
What's she doing? She's pushing.
- She's pooping. / - Oh, she is?
(Ugh)
(Push, Yebin)
(Blush)
She's so beautiful.
Right?
You're beautiful, too.
Thanks. You, too.
That sounded so insincere.
You worked so hard.
(Stuff)
Second letter.
To my daughter who's starting to resemble me.
She's starting to resemble you, right?
She sweats and farts a lot.
I don't fart. (In denial)
(What is it that I hear every day?)
I think she resembles me, too.
Over here, we will put a picture of
you as a baby and Yebin.
To my daughter who's starting to resemble me.
Behaviors that she does just like me.
That's when it really feels like your daughter.
She's indeed my child.
Children tend to behave just the way parents do.
I tend to touch my face a lot.
She does, too.
Are you acting cute already?
She sleeps the way you do.
She has her mouth open.
She does take a lot after me.
Do I just write this?
Her behaviors and facial expressions.
What I'm amazed by is
I have thin hands and feet.
She has thick hands and feet.
You had thick hands and feet as a child, too.
(Father and daughter with big hands)
It's like looking at myself as a baby.
She looks just like I do in my baby pictures.
She has eyelashes now.
She does now.
(Beautiful eyelashes)
Yebin, I love you. I love you.
She wants to eat.
- I love you. / - "I love you" isn't food, Yebin.
I love you.
Who is this?
(Who are you? You look just like me)
Who is this? Who is this?
Who is this? Who is this?
You have such strong legs.
I don't want you to have thick thighs.
1, 2.
You came all the way up here.
Once more? (This basin is too small)
Kick. Wow, you kick so well.
(They move to a bathtub)
(Who's playing with who here?)
You're sleepy.
Let's continue tomorrow.
(This badminton player is now friends with water)
(Just as mom wished)
(Dad is becoming Yebin's friend and support)
(If you read this book in the future)
(Remember how important you are to us)
(Look forward to Yongdae's next love letter)
("Toast in My Heart" by Ahn Jaewook)
(Festival at Dongguk University)
(The place that's full of youth and alcohol!)
(This man has been looking forward to this day)
(I've been waiting to propose a toast!)
I want to communicate with many students
and listen to interesting toasts so
I came to a university festival.
What's the concept of your outfit today?
Since I'm visiting a college campus,
I thought I would dress to suit...
(We're watching you)
(I can't lie)
Even I think I look like a professor.
I look more like a professor than a student.
(Bars are classrooms, textbooks are alcohol)
(Let's go learn about toasts)
(Prepared MC studies hard in advance)
The reason you look young in jeans.
"Youth is..."
"Exactly..."
"Starting now."
(Wow)
It's good to smile on New Year.
"Smile even if you pass each other by."
"Smile if your eyes meet."
"Smile on purpose."
I did some research to see
if there are books on toasts
and it's this thick.
This is why I'm writing this book.
I would like to compress this encyclopedia
written on toast speeches
so that people can carry it around.
There are so many designs out there.
I thought it should be in a shape of a drink.
A glass of beer.
Like this.
Make it in the shape of a drink
so anyone can take a peek anywhere.
It could be in the size of a shot glass.
I looked up on the internet and
there are so many interesting stories about toasts.
The no. 1 toast that was used the most was "Azalea."
The no. 1 toast that was used the most was "Azalea."
In 2nd place was "Obama."
Azalea stands for...
"For a rich and sweet tomorrow."
Obama stands for...
"Let your wish come true."
In this sense
there are so many types of toasts.
(He was thoroughly prepared)
May We Like Zines! not be underneath
all the other KBS programs...
But rather be on top.
(On top like the lid of a pot)
(Chief producer is very pleased)
Let's cheer.
Drink up, ppara-ppiri-ppo.
That was awesome.
(To study other toast speeches)
(He visits a college festival)
(He travels to find great toasts)
Students have written their wishes here.
"Family's health and good grades."
"Let us eat together."
Everyone has written their wishes here.
I would like to talk about their concerns and values
in life and hear their toasts.
With that in mind, I'm in the middle of the campus.
So many people gather at a festival,
so I will join in some groups
that seem interesting and talk to them.
that seem interesting and talk to them.
There are so many types of food for the festival.
Students look excited.
(Looking for a group to join)
(Oh! It's Ahn Jaewook)
(Look over here)
(Embarrassed)
(Then they welcome him even louder!)
(Put your hands up for Jaewook)
Ahn Jaewook! Ahn Jaewook!
I am married and have a child.
I couldn't walk around like this before.
But I can comfortably do so.
(Students continue to cheer for him)
(It's like Ahn Jaewook's fan meeting)
(Thank you, I'm glad I came to a college campus)
(We love you, Ahn Jaewook)
(Welcome dance)
(This is the original Korean Wave star)
I look forward to meeting the students.
I normally often have drinks with younger people.
(The star tonight is me!)
(So which bar are you going to join?)
(Where should I go?)
There are so many interesting slogans.
"We must sell drinks fast so we can go home early."
(Bars with interesting slogans draw attention)
(He sees something)
What does it say there?
- Pour more party. / - "Pour more party"?
(I like that)
What does it mean?
Pour more and have more drinks.
- Continue to drink? / - Yes.
(Heaven for this thirsty soul!)
(Is it okay to join them?)
Are you...
(We welcome thirsty souls)
- Ahn Jaewook. Ahn Jaewook. / - Please don't.
Are you done drinking?
No!
(Come and join us)
Since I'm new here
we should introduce each other, right?
(You've never drunk before?)
Entrance shot. Entrance shot.
What?
You must drink up when you join.
Because we were drinking first.
To catch up to us.
To keep up with our pace.
Like a penalty shot if you're late?
Like the star.
Ahn Jaewook will drink!
Ahn! Jae! Wook! Ppara-ppabam.
(I'm definitely the star tonight)
(He indeed loves alcohol)
Is that gone now?
Until when...
Until when are you going to make me dance?
Look at my shoulder. It has been dislocated.
(Dislocated)
Dislocated. Is this right?
When you're told to sing and you can't...
Great singer of Dongguk University.
Here is Ahn Jaewook.
Your face... But he's great at singing...
Rest a beat. Rest two beats.
Rest three beats. 1, 2, 3, 4.
This round is out.
Look forward to the next round.
If the next round is out, too...
You must drink up a bottle of soju.
♪ When the world goes down, I take a drink ♪
(Characteristics of alcohol lovers)
(They react well to everything)
In my days, the penalty was this.
Hurry up and drink. If you don't...
If you don't drink, I'll barge in.
(We really don't know what this is...)
15 coins.
He even spoke of coins.
You don't know it?
You don't do this at all.
- Are you in the same major? / - Yes.
Political Diplomacy.
Political Diplomacy.
I coincidentally ended up joining the group
which has been the hottest issue these days.
(1. Jaein's success set)
(2. Joonpyo's left-party set)
(3. Cheolsoo's MB Avatar set)
(4. Hang in there, Seongmin set)
(5. Sangjung's one-digit set)
(6. Mr. President's shame set)
He's the class president of our major.
Let me explain why I came here.
I'm publishing a book.
The theme of the book is toast speeches.
The theme of the book is toast speeches.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Cheer slogans. (Toast speeches...)
What do you think as political majors?
(You answer)
(Perplexed)
- Are you a professor? / - No.
Are you a returning student?
- I'm taking a break. / - I see.
I was explaining and you were going like this.
People usually say, "Cheers,"
or some other slogans to cheer.
What do you have in your major?
(Everyone's eyes are on him)
There's a slogan that he's been doing for 2 years.
It's your own? You made it up?
What is it?
It's not something creative.
(He gets ready to jot it down)
I have to write it down.
I'm not an actor right now. I'm an author.
My toast...
You know what a tsundere is, right?
I'm glad to see you but I pretend I'm not.
It's like a surprise.
For example, I'll say this first...
"I don't really like Ahn Jaewook."
That's not a nice toast, right?
But then I follow that up with...
"I don't really like Ahn Jaewook not being my star."
Then you toast.
You don't have to film this.
A star in my heart.
Unbelievable.
You've been listening to this for 2 years?
Are you the oldest student here?
Yes.
(You guys go through an ordeal...)
It's been tough.
It's not your fault.
Another one.
I said this when I went backpacking.
People liked it.
It's not something big.
When I say, "Remember," you say, "Each member."
(Remember each member)
- Remember each member? / - Yes...
Kim Junho did that on "2 Days and 1 Night."
Remember each member! We are one!
She plagiarized it.
This is really good. Remember each member.
Let's try it.
(A toast that cherishes relationships)
It was fate that we met today.
Remember each member!
(They humbly take a shot)
Let's add one more.
Since I'm here with you today...
Remember. Each member.
Forever! Please add that.
(Author Ahn's addition)
Remember each member!
(Remember each member forever!)
(Today's drinks will be remembered forever)
(Concerns, hopes and dreams are in their drinks)
If you're a political diplomacy major,
what are you going to become?
I'm studying to become a civil servant.
A civil servant?
What's your reason?
My father is a civil servant, too
and looking back on his life,
I think being a civil servant would
let me live a stable life.
I'm currently dreaming of
traveling around and writing about my journey.
- Writing? / - Yes.
But you majored in political diplomacy.
I don't have to pursue my career in my major.
(Right)
No one wants to pursue your career in your major?
Many students with big dreams usually
join the political diplomacy major.
"I want to change the world."
"I want to leave a trace in the world."
"I want to be helpful to this society."
But once they enter their 3rd or 4th year
they all talk about becoming civil servants.
There's a saying
"Sorry, liberal arts."
What does that mean?
"I'm sorry I majored in liberal arts."
Wherever you apply
especially if you're majoring in something
like political diplomacy which is not practical
nor academic, it becomes hard to look for a job.
nor academic, it becomes hard to look for a job.
When I first entered this school,
whenever I heard older students talk of
studying to become civil servants
I hated it.
How could students with big dreams
who decided to major in political diplomacy
become so timid and give up on their dreams?
That's what I thought then, but
once I became a 3rd-year student
my parents were urging me to get a job
and earn money as soon as possible.
My father will be 60 soon
so I can't continue to dream alone.
I had to think about it
so I'm currently taking a break and studying TOIEC.
I think you could find something that's realistic, but
also continue the existence of political diplomacy.
I don't want you to give up so early because of
your major. Don't think that it's hard to find a job.
There will be unexpected opportunities in life.
I was a natural science major until high school.
I studied natural science and
here I am in the entertainment industry.
I ended up starring in dramas.
My family and I didn't get along at first.
Until I became the main star.
Either way, don't give up too early.
I want you to try your best to the end.
Class president, you should try harder
and help out younger students.
You don't have much food compared to drinks.
You're right.
I will...
(Oh my!)
(Cheer)
It's my treat.
You're on a break. That's no good.
He might take $20 for himself.
You take it as the leader. (Thank you!)
I had so much fun today. Thank you.
Thank you.
If this book really gets published,
I will include our picture, too.
- Thank you. / - I'm really going to publish it.
Let's take a picture of us proposing a toast.
1, 2, 3.
(A picture while proposing a toast)
Enjoy your time.
(Special relationship thanks to toast speeches)
(You guys are stars in my heart)
(Lights are turned on)
(Our festival begins now!)
(Party Time)
(It looks like he'll hear some good toasts)
Hello.
I haven't even said hello yet.
(They're full of love)
- Here you go. / - A new glass.
(Accept a drink)
You're a superb actor who expresses emotions well.
(He embraces his mind as he accepts the drink)
(They haven't even asked why he is here)
(And the first drink has been poured)
Let's propose a toast to bring up the mood.
Please propose a toast for us.
There's a certain way to hold up a drink.
You have to hold it like this.
- Wait. / - Why is that?
Right. Right.
From the beginning to end of your life.
From the beginning to end of the meeting.
It contains the resolution to live a life while
being loyal to the people you're drinking with.
I didn't even mention why I'm here and you said it.
From the beginning to end of your life.
- You all know about this? / - Yes.
I should've come here from the start.
Hold up your glasses.
This is how we propose a toast.
They're all holding their glasses the same way.
(It looks foolish but awesome)
If I yell out a slogan
all you have to say is, "Hooray!"
Here we go. Ahn Jaewook.
Hooray!
Awesome. Awesome.
(A toast that makes Author Ahn smile)
- Thank you. / - This is how your end it.
(No lingering left)
If you hold your glass like this,
you can't leave any drinks left.
That's another advantage.
It's an advantage?
I personally think,
I will get along with all of you better.
You have great taste.
Are you professors?
Some are professors and some are assistants.
I'll graduate soon with a PhD.
I'm having a drink with memories of the past.
(PhD students Jang Minsu, Baek Gwanggyun)
I'm actually planning to write a book
through this TV program.
I'm planning to write about toast speeches.
You started talking about it as soon as I sat down.
- He likes to do that. / - I'm glad you came to us.
I was quite shocked.
We don't call this fate, we call this inevitability.
I'm the head of the political department
of a newspaper.
I see.
I give special lectures at times.
I make toast speeches and mixed drinks.
You came to the right place.
You teach how to make mixed drinks?
Right, right.
What if I never came here?
Do you know what you call this situation?
So awesome.
Let me propose a toast that suits this occasion.
(This place is full of toast speeches)
Hold your glasses up high.
This is a fantastic and beautiful moment.
I would like to express it like this.
If I yell out something,
just say, "It's real."
Is this a dream?
It's real!
(A fantastic, dream-like night)
For those who make toast speeches often,
do you catch other people's reaction
as you propose a toast?
I look at every detail as I do it.
I go along with the flow.
I look into their eyes and sense the energy
when I do it.
Since I was on television long enough,
I will pass it on to him now.
Do you agree?
(Company slogan, complement each other)
I was just about to say that, too.
I would like to at least hear their voices now.
What do you think about this drinking culture?
Having someone like him is nice.
Since he does everything.
He organizes everything.
Like you said, proposing a toast is a burden
but he does it all on his own. I don't have to worry.
We just need to hold up the glass and cheer.
Nice, nice, nice.
His speech never repeats.
He always says something different.
What do you think about this toast culture?
Do you think it's good? Or should it disappear?
It's good in a sense that if you do this during
business dinners, you feel like you belong.
That's a good thing.
But a disadvantage is that I heard that in some
places people take turns in
making speeches each time.
When it's my turn I would worry that it may not
be funny or nobody would relate to it.
- We drink to have fun. / - Right.
But it could become stressful.
I'm the youngest one here,
so I would like to have my turn to speak.
I want everyone to take turns.
I believe that proposing a toast is a way to express
your feelings and your wish about the relationships.
That's why whenever I take the lead in a group,
I make everyone take turns in making a speech.
(Shocked)
At first, anyone would be stressed to do it and
be burdened to make a good speech.
But the only way to overcome that is
not to avoid it but keep doing it.
That's what I think.
I also believe that democracy isn't about
a leader talking all by himself all day.
It's about giving everyone an equal chance
to voice their opinion.
That's the spirit of our modern times.
(His mouth never stops talking)
(He has a motor in his mouth)
(The MC is speechless)
(His words and actions don't match)
(Sigh)
He's the oldest member here.
Will he be at the 2017 festival or not?
Do you look forward to it or
do you get worried that he'll be here?
Have a drink.
I think I understand what you mean
by pouring a drink, instead of answering.
(I'll talk less)
This is what I think.
When we go around and say a toast each...
A few will be uncomfortable about doing it,
but you're hoping more will be thankful
about having the opportunity to speak up.
That's an excellent interpretation.
(He has assimilated)
I believe that's the true charm of proposing a toast
and in that sense, I will propose another one.
I will go with a poem this time.
The name of the poet
is Kim Sangbae, a Korean language professor.
He's real.
Title. Drinking in daylight.
"This is not right."
The end.
When I read this poem, I was touched
and made one up on my own as a parody.
Title. Drinking at night.
"Is this okay?"
Why don't I make one up, too?
You talked about drinking during the day and night.
Drinking recklessly.
"Whatever, who cares?"
Very good.
- It was nice meeting you. / - It was nice meeting you.
Here's my business card.
(Making new connections while drinking)
Please don't call if you have difficulties.
Thank you very much.
Let's take a picture together.
When the book is published,
this picture could be included.
(So nice! Heh heh)
(Next episode)
(Report on TWICE Jeongyeon's daily necessities)
(Cheap and miscellaneous objects?)
(Members try the items out themselves)
(They review the items honestly)
(Ahn Jaewook talks to reporters about their toasts)
Toast speeches of the reporters.
Let's change the world!
If we are together!
(Toasts by reporters of conservatives and liberals)
There is no philosophy.
Stop making speeches.
(It isn't easy to collect toast speeches)
(Author Heechul looks into the history of girl groups)
(He opens his eyes to history and liberal arts)
(A journey to become friends with books)
(There's a fanatic in Yeouido)
(He collects various information on girl groups)
(I will publish a series of books on girl groups)
