(Episode 1665)
Hello, I'm Shin Hyunjoon of Entertainment Weekly.
Hello, I'm Jung Jiwon.
Today is the first Saturday of April.
This week has been another eventful week.
Today's Entertainment Weekly will be extra fun.
Jiwon, I heard that you have an announcement to make.
I'm very nervous right now.
- What is it? / - I never thought this day would come.
You guys are the very first ones to find out.
- I'm getting married. / - It's April Fools' Day!
You're not getting married.
We know that you don't even have a boyfriend.
- Was it that obvious? / - Very much so.
But I hope it does become true soon.
- I hope you meet a nice guy soon. / - Wish me luck.
Best of luck.
By the way, Jiwon , why do you look
- Do I look pretty? / - so much like me today?
- Is that a good thing? / - Of course.
Why are you laughing? It's a compliment.
I'm okay with it.
My apologies. Today's April Fools' Day.
You look nothing like me.
I'll try to look like you.
Not my nose though. All right.
Let's kick-start today's show.
Jiyeon and Sungeun prepared the first
- news report for today. / - Why is Sungeun crying?
- Why are you crying? / - Are you sad?
There's nothing to look forward to anymore.
(Kim Sungeun)
- The drama that spoke for all of us, / - Don't. Stop.
- "Good Manager", finally ended. / - Stop it already.
Don't go, Good Manager!
(After-show party of the drama "Good Manager")
I visited the drama's after-show party
where many were sad like me.
From many stories behind the making of the drama
to the actors' favorite scenes, we have a lot prepared.
- Wait just a bit! / - Goodness. Please stop it.
- Jiyeon, what about you? / - Before that,
let's watch This Week's Hot Click first.
This week, Seo Inguk has been discharged from the army
four days after his enlistment due to medical issues.
And actor-singer Kim Hyunjoong
was caught drunk driving this week as well.
Let's get started now with This Week's Hot Click.
Actor-singer Seo Inguk
was discharged from the army four days after enlisting.
(Seo Inguk left the military after only four days.)
Last Tuesday, he entered an army training center
in Gyeonggi Province to fulfill his military service.
(He entered an army training center in Yeoncheon.)
Thank you. Thank you.
He looked strong and confident.
Before enlistment, he released a song he wrote
to thank his fans as well as to say goodbye to them.
However, he was discharged from the army last Friday,
four days after enlistment, due to medical issues
found during a physical examination.
He was discharged from the army last Friday evening.
It's due to an osteochondral lesion in his left ankle.
According to his agency,
the cause of his medical issue is unknown.
Details will become available after he gets tests done.
He wanted to complete his military service faithfully,
but unfortunately,
he was sent home according to the Military Service Act.
He plans to get another physical examination
at the Military Manpower Administration.
The results will decide whether he can return or not.
Inguk, we hope you will recover very soon.
I'll take care of you.
Gosh, how manly.
There's a new lovely celebrity couple.
Yoon Hyunmin and Baek Jinhee met in a drama.
Every viewer noticed the chemistry between them.
Do not shake it off.
This is more comfortable.
Is it because their teamwork was so perfect?
Being spotted together at a shop last February was
the beginning of the rumor that they're dating.
But they both denied it, saying they're just friends.
Then a suspicion that they went to the US together
in April seemed to back up the rumor,
but both of them insisted that they're just friends.
On Monday, a media outlet revealed
the two of them being all lovey-dovey.
(They were caught on a date.)
After that, both of them officially admitted that they
have been in a relationship for the last 11 months.
It is true that Jinhee and Hyunmin are dating.
It started after "My Daughter, Geum Sawol" ended.
They started seeing each other last April.
Please support their love.
Thanks for letting me love you.
I'll only love you for the rest of my life.
Let's love each other
and be happy just like we are today.
We hope your love lasts forever.
Congratulations.
Two other couples who met in dramas
announced that they're getting married.
Lee Sangwoo and Kim Soyeon who appeared in a drama
together as a couple last year
started dating in September, which was
- after the drama ended. / - I promise my bride
that my love for her will grow day by day.
On Tuesday, they announced that they are
getting married this June.
They both posted a message on their official websites.
Another actor couple, Joo Sangwook and Cha Yeryun,
have happy news for us as well.
(They started dating in 2015.)
They started dating after working together
in a drama back in 2015.
Last week, Yeryun received
the singer Bada's bouquet at her wedding
- which made people curious. / - Let's get married.
Then on Wednesday, they officially announced
that they're getting married.
They decided to get married
after dating each other for a year.
Their wedding is scheduled for May 25.
Please congratulate them and give them your blessing.
Congratulations to both couples.
Congratulations.
Next, Korean wave star Kim Hyunjoong
was recently arrested for drunk driving.
The incident took place around 2 a.m. last Sunday
in Songpa-gu, Seoul.
Police received a call about an immobile vehicle
and found Kim Hyunjoong asleep inside the car.
The police stated that his blood alcohol content was at
0.075 percent which is subject to a license suspension.
He voluntarily reported to a police station
and said that he drank about two cans of beer.
The police will not re-summon him
as he admitted to the offence.
The case will soon be forwarded to
the Prosecutors' Office.
However, a statement made by his agency
was proven to be untrue,
and it created some controversy and criticism.
On the day of the incident, his agency stated that
a parking agent requested him to move his car
and that he drove a distance of less than one km.
But he was actually found about three km away
from where he had been drinking.
And it has been confirmed that he was on his way home.
The agency spokesperson then stated that
they don't want to give any more excuses,
and that Hyunjoong regrets his actions.
Hyunjoong is in the midst of the controversy
at the moment,
and we'll have to wait and see what happens with him.
(Entertainment Weekly)
("Good Manager" After-show Party)
From its first to final episode,
"Good Manager" was the most watched mid-week drama.
Yesterday evening, they had a party
after finishing all 20 episodes.
We joined them at the after-show party.
(After-show party of the drama "Good Manager")
Hello.
Sangmi, which scene was the most memorable to you?
When Mr. Kim returns after being abducted...
- You're Number 21. / - Yes.
I was the 21st to arrive.
- He cries in front of Mr. Choo. / - The crying scene.
Yes. I really liked that scene.
(Mr. Kim's life is in danger.)
Mr. Kim gets on the wrong side of Chairman Park.
He manages to survive when he was about to be killed.
He then returns home and opens up to his roommate.
Sangmi picked this scene
as the most memorable scene to her.
Do you know how frightened I was?
(Mr. Choo quietly gives him a hug and consoles him.)
Also, I talk too much, right?
There was a scene where I grab a drink with Mr. Choo
and tell him that I want a job that's meaningful.
Hang in there, okay? Just a little more.
I really want a job that's meaningful.
Wonhae suddenly improvised the dialogue and said...
Hey.
When I leave for work every morning,
I leave my soul and pride at home.
When he said that, tears welled up in my eyes.
Shall I say it felt so wrong? I felt very frustrated,
so that's another scene I can't forget.
You've returned after a long hiatus with this drama.
I'm just wondering if you were sad about
your character not having any romantic relationship.
At our very first meeting with the director,
we suggested they not include any romance in the drama.
We thought the drama would be great enough without it.
That was our goal, and the director loved the idea.
What do you mean there's no romance in "Good Manager"?
It's right here. It's the bromance everyone knows.
(Namgoong Min and Junho)
He expresses his affection with a peck on the cheek.
There's rice taffy.
(They start off as enemies.)
- Mr. Seo, have a taffy. / - Kim Seongryong!
They start off as enemies but gradually become close.
(The affection only grows.)
They even ended up sleeping beside each other.
(The bromance between Mr. Kim and Director Seo Yul)
Come here.
Why are you being like this?
Under that too.
- Aren't they so cute together? / - Good.
I don't expect to win the Best Couple Award.
Stop kissing me!
We hope you guys win the Best Couple Award this year.
Let's meet Mr. Choo who got promoted to chief director.
You got promoted in the final episode.
I used to wonder if he'd open a fried chicken place.
I'd like to thank the writer for the promotion.
Has "Good Manager" changed your life in any way?
I finally met my best role at the age of 50.
To all the viewers who love the drama so much,
my mother sincerely thanks every one of you.
What's the most memorable scene to you?
Mr. Kim and I talked about this once.
"How would you define a good boss?"
At work,
allowing others to breathe
is the best thing you can do.
It sounds persuasive in a strange way.
The more I ponder on that line,
the more I realize how much it applies to our lives.
I hope all of us can allow each other to breathe.
The defendant, Park Hyundo,
is sentenced to 22 years in prison.
(I'm doomed.)
What would you like to say to those
who are expected to serve jail time?
They shouldn't go there to begin with.
Why would you do such a thing?
- We shouldn't commit bad deeds. / - That's right.
We must know our place and live within our means.
Everyone also talked about the scenes
that parodied the current political situation.
Curse you.
Curse you.
(It literally means "to catch typhoid".)
Younghee's best line was "Curse you."
These characters also played a huge role
in making "Good Manager" the most viewed drama.
The two rival teams that showed us how to fight.
I was able to meet everyone from the accounting
and business operations departments as well.
Isn't it amazing?
(Are you together because of the party?)
We're actually close friends.
Tell him to follow you upstairs.
No!
I can't do it anymore because I changed my hairstyle.
(She lost her power because of her new hairstyle.)
I'm all dressed up because of this after-show party.
She's a good actress.
A party isn't a party without food.
- And a barbecue / - It looks so good.
makes it more fun.
When it comes to food, we can't forget about this guy.
The drama looked like an eating show at times
because this glutton, Director Seo, gobbled down
- every dish. / - I had never seen myself eating on TV.
After watching the drama, I realized I inhale food.
You've finally made a name for yourself as an actor.
I can't say I'm satisfied with my performance,
but I do feel more confident now.
Was the "TT" dance the writer's idea?
That's right. I was going to sing their newest song,
but we thought "TT" would be easier for Min.
They disguised themselves as waiters to sneak in.
They ended up singing and dancing to the song.
(There's nothing these two guys can't do.)
Please say a few words to Min.
Min, I love you!
Have you duped anyone
and fooled around with their money?
(It was Namgoong Min's best performance to date.)
Then why are you saying you've lived your life wrong?
You lived a good life!
It was such a meaningful drama for me.
The teamwork amongst all the actors was excellent.
I really don't think I'll ever forget
- about the drama. / - They're busy eating.
I can't believe that
we're off tomorrow for the first time in four months.
Will you drink a lot today, then?
I will get wasted.
I even caught him taking a pre-drinking supplement.
Min, I caught you red-handed!
I can't be the first one to get drunk.
I have to celebrate with everyone here.
Hence I'm now working out a plan.
When the writer first told me about the scene,
I thought to myself, "How am I supposed to do this?"
I wondered if it'd be possible to make it funny.
- Who is it? / - The lines and direction flustered him.
- It's me. / - But he turned it into a memorable scene.
(It became one of the best scenes.)
What was that about?
(It became one of the best scenes.)
I'm carrying out an internal inspection!
("Good Manager" has successfully ended.)
You got an offer for an undercover position at the end.
- Yes. / - Season two.
("Good Manager Season Two"?)
If it gets the green light, would you...
Of course I would play the character again.
My rate won't stay the same though.
I was just kidding.
Park Youngkyu suggested an idea for season two.
After I complete my prison sentence,
I want to rejoin my son's company as an intern.
I'll do a great job. Thank you.
Thank you for giving me so many happy memories!
We thank you all too.
I sincerely thank you all for giving us so much love.
I'll see you again through another great role.
Since the drama reflected reality a great deal,
it might have made many people uneasy.
Just like how our drama was so realistic,
I hope your lives are as fantastic as dramas,
and that they're filled with hopes and dreams.
I'll be passionately rooting for you.
Thank you for loving "Good Manager".
- Thank you! / - Thank you!
Thank you for loving "Good Manager".
Thank you.
Thank you so much for the heartfelt drama about life!
(Good luck in your future endeavors.)
(Entertainment Weekly)
I've been having an affair for a year now.
I knew you'd stab me in the back one day.
Today is April Fools' Day.
I heard today is April Fools' Day.
You little...
Everyone around the globe gets excited on April first.
(Farting)
Gosh, I really hate this!
(What's going on? What should I do?)
Wasn't my lie pretty convincing?
♪ What I said was a lie ♪
Celebrities are also enjoying April Fools' Day.
From surprising yet touching hidden camera pranks
Snowboards now dominate snow covered slopes.
To unexpected situations that make us laugh.
(Unexpected situations like this make us laugh.)
And embarrassing bloopers that make our jaws drop.
My gosh, how embarrassing.
We prepared this so you can laugh as much as you want.
- We'll start the clip now. / - This sounds fun.
April Fools' Day happens only once a year,
and it's the only day that lies and pranks
- are forgiven. / - I'm sorry.
It's okay.
- I'm sorry! / - He's surprised by the cold water.
(I also want to visit YG Entertainment.)
Some celebrities became netizens.
They make witty jokes on their social media pages.
(I confess. I'm in a relationship.)
Yoon Jongshin, the CEO of an entertainment agency
and a multi-talented entertainer,
turned his artists into models for toasted seaweed
- and made an announcement. / - It was a hard decision.
I, Yoon Jongshin,
have decided to jump into politics.
Does it mean he'll quit his career as a singer?
(Jo Jungchi)
My goodness.
Your name means "politics".
We'll just pretend we didn't see it.
Some of them sacrificed themselves to make us laugh.
Lee Teuk revealed his phone number for his fans.
Yang Yosub of Highlight
received many compliments for his thoughtful post.
Is this a hidden camera prank?
Hidden cameras are everywhere.
Isn't this really a hidden camera prank, Taehyun?
Fooled you! Next, let's find out
how celebrities respond to hidden camera pranks.
The inextinguishable candles.
- How will Rhee Minjung react? / - Blow them out.
Minjung, we hope your film becomes a hit.
- All in one go. / - I hope it becomes a big hit.
- Thank you. / - But the candles lit up again.
They lit up again.
Minjung does her best to blow them out.
- She must be feeling dizzy. / - I really hope
- it becomes a hit. / - They lit up again!
The fact that they're invincible made her scream.
- What is this? / - These two guys gave it a shot too.
This is weird.
They didn't suspect anything either.
Jung Junho retaliates.
He's a genius.
This time, we'll see how stars react to
the sound of a fart.
I hope you have a plentiful Chuseok
and make happy memories...
Jo Sungmo burst into laughter and became flustered.
I'm sorry.
(Anchor Oh Unjong gave a good performance.)
He couldn't stop laughing.
I hope the viewers will enjoy it.
- You didn't fart, did you? / - No, I didn't.
Please repeat what you said.
I'm afraid the audio equipment will pick up the sound.
Perhaps they should step back.
How will the queen of trot, Jang Yoonjeong react?
You must have an upset stomach.
I do.
- My goodness! / - You can use the restroom.
Try sitting down.
You were fooled, right?
Irene, I have something to tell you...
Irene suddenly collapsed
and really surprised Park Bogum.
It's obvious that he's shocked.
Oh My Girl...
It was a prank.
Did she have to go that far?
- It's April Fool's Day. / - Of course he's surprised.
I'm sorry.
His reaction was so cute.
(A collection of broadcast accidents)
We also prepared some funny situations caught on tape.
You have a fan among the MCs of Entertainment Weekly.
- It's Shin Hyunjoon. / - I see.
I'm familiar with his roles
- as Nose Bong, / - "Nose Bong"?
and as an Entertainment Weekly MC.
I enjoy watching his works.
I think you meant to say "Gi Bong".
(Laughing)
("Barefoot Nose Bong")
Shin Hyunjoon is MC Nose Bong
- of Entertainment Weekly. / - They edited the poster!
Even members of Miss A
had an embarrassing moment in the past.
Please make a four-line poem about Miss A.
Do you know what it is?
- You come up with four lines. / - Four lines.
For an instance, the first line could be "Beautiful".
- Second line. / - Trash.
Fei, that's not how you do it.
("Beautiful trash"?)
She doesn't know why everyone is laughing.
Lee Hyori is the queen of sexiness.
No one can resist her.
(She made a shocking suggestion.)
How can I help you?
Please give me a pair of scissors.
The dress is too long for the next performance.
You want me to cut it?
Only if you want to.
If you're too embarrassed...
Lee Hyori is the best.
He couldn't hide his happiness.
- I'm doing this for the show. / - I know.
I'm really afraid I'm going to look like a pervert.
It's okay. You always had that image.
He shortens her dress with enthusiasm.
You're not going to take that with you, are you?
I'll put it around my neck.
It should be a family heirloom.
She is a woman who captivated Yu Huiyeol.
(Lee Hyori has an irresistible charm.)
Who will it be in this clip?
The next performance is...
Baby V.O.X fell because of a spinning stage.
It's "What Should I Do".
(I wish it will end this way)
Unfortunately, unexpected things always happen.
♪ A child who looks like me ♪
I'll do it!
Park Hyoshin is getting into the mood.
(Screaming)
(How will Park Hyoshin react?)
He sings with all seriousness,
but the cry of a seagull lingers in his ears.
SHINee is dazzling.
The intense dance
caused Tae Min's pants to rip.
(Tae Min's pants ripped.)
But he finished the performance as a professional.
Pants rip easily.
Kim Bumsoo's voice is like a gift to the world.
He must have been flustered by people calling his name.
(Expectant)
(Singing off-key)
What was that?
(Another performance by another Bumsoo)
(Singing off-key)
His ability to stay serious is cool.
He is an actor.
Even in the case of a natural disaster,
celebrities must do their best without complaint.
Are those tears or the rain?
It's raining heavily.
(Why can't I stop the tears?)
What happened on an episode of "Hometown Report"
that the entire nation enjoys so much?
Can you see the male MC becoming shorter?
It looked like computer graphics.
The chair continues to go down.
- It goes down and down. / - Why are you down there?
(Why are you down there?)
- That was the best. / - Celebrities work hard
in all kinds of situations.
We look forward to their future endeavors.
(Look forward to fun and touching moments.)
- We enjoyed the report. / - It was very entertaining.
I do wish there will be a season two
of "Good Manager".
- We'll stay hopeful. / - That's right.
Kim Taejin and Kim Seunghye
have their reports next.
I met some men from Gyeongsang Province
who returned to Seoul after a movie shoot,
They are Lee Sungmin, Cho Jinwoong, and Kim Sungkyun.
Because they wore tights throughout the shoot, they
felt awkward to wear suits again after a long while.
The three of them were still absorbed in the movie.
Please wait a bit longer
for that cheerful interview. Let's go!
What a strange voice!
It's charming.
These five handsome men reunited with their fans
after changing their name from Beast to Highlight.
I met up with Highlight
for School Attack.
The segment took place at a co-ed school.
Look forward to seeing the male students' enthusiasm.
It starts now.
Introducing today's guests of School Attack!
A newly debuted group with nine years of experience.
It's Highlight!
Hello.
It's been a while.
(My goodness.)
- Hello, we're Highlight. / - Hello, we're Highlight.
They have a unique introduction.
We decided to make ourselves more approachable.
That's right.
These five men are experiencing
a new highlight of their lives.
(They shook the nation.)
They returned to us
with a most cheerful dance song.
With hopes for their bright future,
I visited a university campus with them.
What events will unfold today?
Look forward to them.
Do you consider yourself a newly debuted group?
Under a new group name,
- we released a cheerful dance song. / - Right.
Please consider us a newly debuted group
and give us your love and support.
We will be very grateful for it.
- Your song topped music charts. / - That's right.
Nice!
In eight or nine years of our musical career,
this is the first time we topped weekly music charts.
- It's a bit... / - It's unbelievable.
I see.
I never thought I would see this day.
Dujun always says it's a miracle.
It's a miracle.
You laugh a lot now.
(They look more cheerful than they did before.)
Our new song
has an optimistic message.
- It makes us... / - It excites us.
- The situation is good, too. / - Yes.
That's why we're so cheerful.
They've become more cheerful, right?
To pay back their fans' support,
they had a mini fan meeting at the assembly hall.
Many university students gathered at the hall
to take advantage of this precious opportunity.
(Please don't be sad)
This took place
only a few days after their new song was released.
Despite that, many people cheered and sang along.
The members were moved.
(The song has an easy dance and cheerful rhythm.)
♪ Show me a smile ♪
(They give off positive energy.)
(This is fun.)
How was the performance?
It was good!
What is up with this side?
Look at that side.
(They showed a frenzied reaction.)
My goodness.
Department of broadcasting is the best.
(They are the best.)
They are the best.
Now,
we will have a short but fun fan meeting.
All right.
Who are Highlight's ideal type?
Who thinks Highlight can't live without them?
I will pick five people.
All right.
Please come closer.
You can stand next to Yosub.
That's good.
She was surprised.
Are you okay? You were surprised.
What is Highlight to you?
- Love. / - That's good.
(- I love you, too. / - That's right.)
What is Highlight to you?
Food at a convenience store.
- Food at a convenience store. / - What does that mean?
That means we're instant food.
We are instant food.
- What does that mean? / - I agree.
What does that mean?
They're all mine.
She's witty.
All right.
A dance party with Highlight members starts.
(Wait a minute, Yosub.)
To become their ideal type,
they show off their charms.
(A couple's dance)
She dances without hesitation.
She doesn't hold back.
She's enthusiastic and daring.
The members are startled.
(It's Gikwang's turn.)
It looks like she can't dance.
It doesn't matter.
In the moment she shares with Gikwang,
she isn't even envious of Beyonce.
But she then becomes embarrassed.
She must deal with that embarrassment.
Men, make some noise
if you like Highlight.
- Yes! / - Yes!
It's a shout of friendship.
How does Highlight feel?
They're scary.
Have you had a fun fan meeting with men?
- No. / - We haven't yet.
That's why we prepared this.
It's a close-contact fan meeting with men.
My goodness.
Please come this way.
All right.
Now,
let's have a conversation.
What do you want to be in the future?
I want to be a comedian.
A comedian.
He's an eccentric man.
He shows us a dance.
What kind of dance is that?
(The dance makes everyone laugh.)
He moves in an uncoordinated way.
Everyone is shocked.
- They were intrigued though. / - What do you think?
So who's willing to learn this dance?
- Tell me. / - I saw him dance,
and I couldn't help
but be intrigued.
Just let your body sway to the rhythm.
First, step to the side.
He started to teach them his dance.
Once more.
Give it up for Highlight and their fan.
(It'll bring you joy to dance with your family.)
Go!
Highlight meets a prospective comedian.
Isn't this a great scene?
What on earth are they doing?
That was great, everybody.
Who is Yoon Dujun to you?
He's like steamed rice.
Steamed rice?
What kind of steamed rice?
Watery steamed rice.
- What? / - He gets a pass since he's a guy.
Ladies, is what he said all right?
- Yes! / - Good.
He says that Dujun is his role model.
(Dujun dances with his male fan.)
(Should I make the first move?)
He just told me if he should make the first move.
- Come on. / - The fan shows Dujun his love.
(This isn't appropriate.)
He does a dirty dance with his fan.
The ladies cry in shock.
(It left them in chaos.)
That was too dirty.
(The reinvented Highlight met with students.)
We thank the students for joining us.
I'll now have a more in-depth talk with Highlight.
- Here they are. / - How was it?
We were their age when we debuted,
but now we're much older.
The youthful energy definitely was uplifting.
- I'd like to say this. / - Sure.
I want our group's name to be
the top searched meaning of the word "highlight".
- What... / - When people search "highlight",
I don't want "induction" to pop up with it.
When we type our name in a search engine,
- it first suggests "induction". / - Right.
- Next, it suggests "sports highlights". / - Yes.
Those things are suggested first.
How are you doing in terms of stamina
in comparison to what you were like back in 2009.
- That's so long ago. / - We were never out of breath.
How many breaks do you need now?
We need one every two songs.
- Two to three songs. / - No, one or two.
- Right? / - Right.
After three songs, a break is mandatory.
- We still do all right though. / - Of course.
- But you're in your 20s. / - Don't lie.
I mean it.
- You're the worst. / - Every morning
he complains that he's sore everywhere.
I asked them what they could do
to ensure the best for Highlight.
- Here we go. / - "For Highlight,"
"I could even do a military haircut."
That's actually quite funny.
I could do a half military cut.
- Did you hear that? / - Gosh.
- He said he'd do it halfway. / - Right.
Are you saying you could do a non-flattering haircut?
I could,
but we're already doing quite well in the industry,
so it wouldn't be necessary.
- A military cut? / - Yes, I wouldn't
have to go as far as to doing that.
Look carefully at the question and you'll see
I wouldn't have to go as far as that.
Junhyung, what's your favorite sport?
I like sport done halfway.
He's saying that like an old man.
Basketball?
We'd love to have you again on our show next time.
- We'd love that too. / - Good.
- If... / - With military haircuts.
If our next album isn't as good and
- doesn't reach the top / - Are you making a promise?
(No, hold on!)
If our next album
doesn't turn out to be that big of a hit...
Will he say it?
I'll cut my hair short.
- Would you really? / - Yes, I'll try
a short military haircut.
That's if your next album doesn't do well.
We will all wish Highlight the best
for their future in the music industry.
Of course.
I had a blast.
(Entertainment Weekly)
(Hot Star-gram)
We follow only the hottest celebrities.
This is Hot Star-gram.
- Let's go. / - Hello, everyone.
I'm Han Seokkyu.
Today, we follow Han Seokkyu,
one of Korea's most prominent actor.
He is 54 years old
and has starred in 23 movies and 13 TV series.
Thanks to his gentle persona
and talents on screen,
he took Korea by storm ever since the 90s.
The thing I like most is
the fact that I'm able to play different characters
across various genres.
We call him the legendary actor Han Seokkyu.
His role in "Swiri" made Korean movie history,
and he's always been a popular star in romance movies.
He even played a gigolo running around
- in his underwear at night. / - I'm not second.
I'm his top lieutenant.
He even played a mobster very realistically,
and he reinvented himself as
a ruthless villain in his upcoming movie "The Prison".
Seokkyu had and still has
a mesmerizing voice. Ladies would fall at his feet.
He used to be a voice actor.
We also love him
- for his sweet voice. / - When entering another world,
you can turn it off for a while.
Viewers loved hearing his calm
and gentle voice in commercials.
It both captivated the hearts
- of men and women. / - Her bike
settled in my heart.
I was picked up by KBS in 1989 as a voice actor.
Many still don't know that he was
originally hired as a voice actor of KBS.
(Anyone can tell it's Han Seokkyu.)
(His deep voice)
His unique deep voice,
many celebrities are known to be jealous of it.
Will you let me?
(Yoo Jitae doing an impression)
Will you let me?
There's even a man who became a master at it.
(His expressions mimic that of Han Seokkyu.)
Hello.
(He sounds just like Han Seokkyu.)
- He's amazing. / - Some even try his expressions.
I'm Han Seokkyu.
(The five-second Han Seokkyu)
Here's another fun fact about him.
My original dream was to become a singer.
He was fourth place in "Gangbyeon Singing Contest".
Let's go ahead and hear him sing.
(He wanted to be a singer.)
(A sweet tender voice, Perfect harmony)
(Singing the soundtrack perfectly)
He sang the original soundtrack.
♪ I try to remember ♪
Gosh, I forgot the lyrics.
(An embarrassing moment)
The seemingly perfect guy is not always collected.
Here are some more examples.
Did you know that he had a cute side to him?
- How? / - I yell when that happens.
You know, I yell too.
My gosh. This is a side I haven't seen before.
Here you go.
Let me tell you a funny story.
- Kangho was once in a car accident. / - I see.
Seokkyu tells the audience a very funny story.
- How does it end? / - People were frantic,
but do you know what the first thing he said was?
"Don't touch me."
(Who knew that he was good at voice impressions?)
Everyone stayed clear of him,
and that's when he asked for an ambulance.
(Choi Minsik took over telling the story.)
And there are more things that adds to his charm.
(He swore at her.)
You swore at me quite a lot.
Darn.
- He's not rude though. / - He makes
the same foul words sound different.
(They stick to your ears. He has a wide vocabulary.)
You really know how to curse in the best way possible.
One also can't forget his views on acting which
he gathered over 28 years. / - Playing a character
is like giving birth to a child.
As long as I'm acting,
I'd always want to be successful.
I'm never satisfied.
I haven't once been satisfied with my acting.
Really?
Maybe I should quit then.
(Thoughtful but ludicrous remarks)
He always studies the craft of acting,
and moves our hearts through his performances.
(He's known to always be invested in his characters.)
That's one of his best scenes.
Acting is deceiving. It's all pretend.
You're right.
But it's our job to make it look real.
He invites us into his beautiful world of make-believe,
and we'd love nothing more than to stay in it forever.
They promise us more than just a funny movie.
Please meet the cast of "The Sheriff in Town".
- Hello. / - It's nice to meet you.
"The Sheriff in Town" is about a former detective
who investigates drug deals in his neighborhood.
It's a comedy cop drama.
That's right.
I've been dying to meet the three of you.
I heard that this isn't your first time
acting together though.
I've worked numerous times
with both of these actors before.
That's why we had a blast.
I went over the entire cast only to find
that most of them were middle-aged men.
Nearly all of you are middle-aged.
Are you thinking it was glum on set
- just because we're old? / - Was it not?
I'm thinking of someone who's relatively younger.
There's our mascot, Bae Jungnam.
He plays Chunmo in the movie.
He sounds like a middle-aged man though.
He only looks cool when he doesn't talk.
Which of you is the vitamin of the crew?
We're more like the proteins of the cast,
so I'll say Kim Jongsoo and Bae Jungnam.
It's been a while since we've been in Seoul,
so they seem quite different today.
I almost don't even recognize them.
I heard that you had many action scenes.
I was on the receiving end of a lot of punches.
Really?
He once had to run past me while I was on a bicycle.
Even though I pedaled as fast as I could,
he actually managed to run past me.
- Really? / - He ran that fast.
You wouldn't believe how hard it was. My legs gave in.
(His legs gave in.)
I heard Sungkyun and Sungmin
are like Dumb and Dumber.
I'm not Dumb.
He's just Dumber.
- Really? I thought you were a duo. / - Yes.
I'm very smart.
(He says he's smart.)
- He got a new nickname. / - What is it?
He's a professional assistant.
- He assists so well. / - Really?
He was born to take care of people.
- He's very diligent. / - Yes.
How do you feel to be so highly praised?
- Well... / - Don't do that.
- Later, / - Stop scratching yourself.
- they will / - Why do you keep scratching yourself?
- perhaps / - Give him another outfit.
Maybe he's different when he's with younger actors.
- We don't know how he is in that case. / - Right.
- When I'm with younger actors, / - What do you do?
I become charismatic.
(He's charismatic.)
Jinwoong, I heard you consider who you'll work with
when you decide on which film to work on.
It takes a long time for a movie to finish.
So you have to work together for a long time.
For that reason, who I work with is very important.
Jinwoong, they say you're good value for money.
- Good value for money. / - I said that.
I am good value for money. I'm not bad.
Movie directors must love you.
- I'm cheap. / - He's good value for money.
And I'm very efficient.
I have potential.
Watch me.
Since they have such good chemistry,
they must have a lot in common too.
What do you think are your common traits?
We all have the accent. The Gyeongsang Province accent.
- You're right. / - We're all from Gyeongsang Province.
That's amazing.
You're all from Gyeongsang Province.
I'm from Bonghwa of North Gyeongsang Province.
- I'm from Busan. / - So you're from Busan.
- I'm from Daegu. / - And you're from Daegu.
People think men from Gyeongsang Province are aloof.
I think our men are sweet to their family.
He's the sweetest.
I'm not sure about Jinwoong.
We still don't have a child.
Are you still like newlyweds?
What did you just say?
- I took it too far, didn't I? / - You did.
He's been married for four years.
The second common trait is that
you're all masters of disguise.
Sungmin, you went back and forth
between serious and light characters.
When I'm acting a cheerful character,
I always do something I don't normally do.
"The Sheriff in Town" is very fun.
Jinwoong, you always play characters of different ages.
It puts me under a lot of pressure.
- Right. / - When I was working on "The Handmaiden",
(He lost 18kg to play an old man.)
I told Director Park
that I feel uncomfortable acting as an old man.
Age is not something you can really fake.
The makeup must have taken a long time too.
The makeup actually helped me a lot.
That enabled me to perfect the character.
Sungkyun, you're either a good man or a bad man.
It's like sweet and salty.
When we eat something sweet, we want something salty.
When I've had a good character,
I want a bad character next.
And after being a bad man, I become a good man again.
In my opinion, he's normally very cheerful.
But one day, he had the face of a killer.
He can change his face.
When his eyelids close halfway,
- he becomes that murderer from... / - "The Neighbor".
Yes, that murderer.
(When he's playing a villain, he gives us the chills.)
We approve Sungkyun's acting.
Let's check the next one.
All three of you have nothing to do with romance.
What do you think about this?
We need to be given the chance.
Jinwoong has a chance.
I don't think shooting a romance is every actor's goal.
It just might happen along the way.
We can do romance too.
(However, we can do romance too.)
If you're given a chance to do a romantic movie,
do you want it to be a romantic comedy or
a serious romance movie?
I'd be too worried being in a serious romantic movie.
If I get an offer to be in a serious romantic film,
- I'll have to get my wife's approval. / - Yes.
Does that mean you're willing to do one?
You're smiling.
Dear viewers, the movie "The Sheriff in Town"
will wash off all your worries this coming May.
Please come watch it.
- Go, "The Sheriff in Town"! / - "The Sheriff in Town"!
- Thank you! / - I'll definitely go watch it.

(Korea's 100 Favorite Songs for Confessing Love)
It just looks like he's about to die soon.
Here, Seunghye.
Did you wait long?
No, I didn't.
It looks so delicious.
It looks delicious.
Chapter one.
Become a fool in the face of love.
(Gi Bong is the famous fool.)
You really won't leave me alone, will you?
- Put one on top. / - He's just like Gi Bong.
And one more is good.
What are you doing?
(This time he becomes Younggu.)
Hello? Hello?
You idiot!
(She slaps him.)
- Goodness. / - A fool can love too.
In 55th place,
it's "From Fool to Fool" by Park Myungsoo.
What is that?
It's a talk show.
Get the bag! Hurry!
Myungsoo is a cranky man who always yells.
But even he becomes a fool in front of his girl.
Myungsoo is the sweetest lover.
- Is he? / - Is he?
- He is. / - Why do you say that?
I cried hard when
we decided to break up.
- Did you cry? / - I couldn't stop myself.
In the car, I thought everything was over,
but she called me and asked me where I was.
She had made up her mind not to break up with me.
- He must've really loved her. / - And you married her.
He thought that was his last chance to love.
I thought it was my last chance.
The lyrics are about his resolution
- to protect her until the end. / - Right.
And this song shows his sincere love for his wife.
(A fool can love too)
I confidently recommend this song to those of you
who have an unrequited love.
It's "From Fool to Fool".
(I love you forever, darling.)
In 54th place, it's
"We Make a Good Pair" by Sung Sikyung.
(It has an exciting Latin music base.)
Because of his lovely voice that tickles our ears,
this song makes us feel good.
It's about a man who falls in love with a girl
he runs into every morning on the way to work.
It was used in a commercial first,
and it became a big hit.
(Your scent which resembles the morning captures me)
♪ Shall we fall in love ♪
If you're looking to confess your love,
I recommend this song.
("Will you go out with me?" makes our heart pound.)
In 51st place, it's "I Love You" by Lee Jaehoon.
Jaehoon is Cool's lead vocalist with a mellow voice.
Perhaps because of the lyrics
that contain a lover's honest feelings,
many couples use it as their on-hold music.
(It was a popular on-hold music.)
It's one of the most popular songs sung at weddings.
(But it's a little tough to sing.)
"This song has high notes and difficult to sing."
"Is there a way to sing it easily?"
There's a simple way of singing it well.
- What is it? / - Go to a karaoke place
and lower the key.
- That's what you should do. / - Lower...
- I can't sing it with one key. / - You can't.
In the end, Jaehoon ended up...
(He lowered the key and re-released it.)
He released a lower-key version of it.
He even included an instrumental version
so that people can use it to sing at weddings.
(I will love you even after my life ends)
In 50th place, it's "I Love You" by S.E.S.
With this shy love confession song,
S.E.S captured every young man's heart in the 90s.
S.E.S was the first generation girl group.
At the time, they were everyone's girlfriends.
Now, all three of them are married
to their own love of their life.
Watching Shoo and Eugene,
I realized having a baby is really lovely.
Where is your Spider Man hat?
(Lohee dresses up as Eugene.)
Lohee is Eugene.
Rahee is Bada.
And Rayool is Shoo.
They gave birth to the little S.E.S too.
(Wait for it!)
(The golden fairy showcases her dance skills.)
(It often gets remade even after ten years.)
Many years have passed,
but this song is still beloved.
As the first generation girl group,
they still are very lovely.
We hope they will never change.
(We hope their friendship doesn't change.)
In 49th place, it's "Flower" by Jang Yoonjeong.
I'm sorry about last time.
No. Don't mention it.
(Being loud)
By the way, isn't it too loud here?
Chapter two. Only brave men win at love.
Hey, can you be quiet?
- What did you say? / - Isn't he good?
You're being too loud.
Honey!
(Surprised)
What's going on?
Honey, did he tell you off?
I'm so scared.
What did you say to her?
I didn't say anything.
You told my girlfriend that she was being loud, right?
I was trying to whisper it,
- but I guess she heard it. / - He's good.
I'm sorry.
You coward!
In 48th place, it's "Coward" by Buzz.
I see! So that's how it's connected.
The band, Buzz, was loved by everyone
in the early 2000s.
The lyrics appeals to those who have experienced
one-sided love, and they would also be drawn
to the attractive vocals in "Coward".
It was loved by many at the time.
♪ I'm just a coward ♪
What's the impersonation that you've done the most?
(Singing)
(Impersonating Kyunghoon)
♪ Far away you're my sunshine ♪
(This is what you call a head voice.)
Many became cowards in front of women at karaoke places
while striking this pose.
However, if you sing like them,
you have no chance of winning their hearts.
Please take that into consideration.
(I want to sleep well and you'd never know how I feel)
This is difficult. I'll sing a different song.
In 47th place, it's "Baby Baby" by 4men.
(It describes the changes of a person due to love.)
(I only want to keep on watching you, really)
In 46th place, it's "Confession" by Hot Potato.
It was included in the first project album, "Seesaw",
of the first generation modern rock band, Hot Potato.
It became very popular after being used as
background music for a famous variety show.
It lead them to be awarded the Song of the Year award.
(Hot Potato received the Song of the Year award.)
(You don't know how to confess.)
Many could sympathize with the plot of the music video,
showing the realistic relationship of a couple.
(Romantic and sweet confession)
"Confession" depicts the heart flutters of love.
At 45th place is "Blissful Confession" by Yoon Sooil.
This song starts with vibrant beats
and it makes you want to dance.
There is a reason for that.
- I loved it when I was young. / - The beats
and the exciting dance made it more popular.
(The neck snapping dance)
(Everyone tried to do it at least once.)
It reminds you of the time
when you made your confession.
"Blissful Confession" is in 45th place.
("Blissful Confession" reminds people)
(of their confessions of love.)
In 44th place, it's "P. S. I Love You" by Lena Park.
Lena Park is the diva of the era
with her powerful voice coming out of her small body.
This song was included in her debut album. It's about
the unchanged feelings of a lover after a break up.
It's about love that cannot be wiped away with time.
"P. S. I Love You" is in 44th place.
(It's about unforgettable true love.)
In 43rd place, it's "Autumn Letter" by Kim Mingi.
In 42nd place,
it's "You Touched My Heart" by Sung Sikyung.
(This song made Sung Sikyung become very popular.)
It's his best hit that made him who he is today.
It's "You Touched My Heart"
(Considered as the best confession song by men)
It's considered the best confession song by men.
- Isn't it great? / - When did you write the song,
"You Touched My Heart", sung by Sung Sikyung?
I was going to sing it myself.
Aren't you glad you didn't?
When I sent it to Sikyung, he accepted it.
I really thought that he was out of touch.
(If I lose that moment, then my life means nothing)
The dimming love written in the lyrics made people cry.
Regardless of age, this great
confession song gives unforgettable feelings
(This touching song)
to many people.
(still gives unforgettable feelings to many people.)
This is the last one for the day.
"Nest" by Nam Jin is always loved by everyone.
(Straightforward man, Nam Jin)
Nam Jin sang that he would do anything for his lover.
How would he have confessed his love?
I couldn't hide my feelings well if I liked someone.
If I found one that I'm fond of, I told her.
I'd simply ask her to date me.
There's a part that you should never miss in "Nest".
(Powerful)
We'll give you tips on the moves from "Nest".
(Nam Jin personally teaches it.)
(Fast feet and bottom movement is the key.)
You've got to go like this. There you go.
- Do you get it know? / - Yes.
The song was featured in "Immortal Songs".
It's sung and loved by many of his juniors.
(It's compatible with all melodies.)
"Nest", a song that sings of honest love,
is the last song on the list for today.
(Come into my nest)
Let's go!
- That's right. / - Thank you.
Would you like to confess your love to someone?

(The interrogation room of Saengmin's Veteran)
What are you doing?
I'm sitting down.
But still...
For goodness' sake. I never took the money!
I'm not the interrogator today.
Someone special will do the interrogation.
(Today's special interrogator, Shin Hyunjoon)
Please stay tuned for this week's episode of
Saengmin's Veteran with Jung Junho.
Kim Saengmin's Veteran
(Saengmin's Veteran, Jung Junho Special)
starts now.
(There's a lot of tension in the interrogation room.)
Who is this man? I'm busy.
He's come here today for the interrogation.
- What's your name? / - What?
Are you deaf? What's your name?
Richard Marx.
(Pardon?)
What is your name?
It's Jung Junho.
(He backs down.)
- Unbelievable. / - Jung Junho?
- Your occupation? / - I have several.
Goodness.
Let's stop fooling around. Tell me the truth.
I've been in a few productions
like films.
Are you an actor?
- Don't you know me? / - Are you an actor?
Don't you know that I'm a movie actor?
(It's a tense situation.)
Many people think that
you and Hyunjoon are of the same age.
- Who? / - The actor, Shin Hyunjoon.
- It's someone famous. / - Who's that?
Don't you know him? He's won many awards.
I don't know, and I don't care.
Were you born in 1970? You're 47.
I was born in 1969.
People usually try to make themselves younger, but...
I don't think he's a celebrity.
How could you make yourself look older?
(No one has done this on Saengmin's Veteran before.)
- Now... / - I just wanted to
- spend less time in jail by being honest. / - Okay.
In 1995, you made your debut as an actor
on MBC through the 24th public audition.
How did you get picked?
Did you have connections?
Did you use your connections?
According to my research,
he's been defrauding people since his debut.
I knew it.
Apparently, he won a lead role by lying
to the director about his skiing skills.
That wasn't fraud.
The director just came to talk to us and asked
if any one of us knew how to ski. So I raised my hand.
He gave me the part,
and it turned out to be a lead role.
It was the role of a ski instructor.
Who was the female lead opposite you?
It was Bae Jongok.
You know,
we were on the steep slope.
We were right there.
I thought I was going to die. It felt like a cliff,
not a slope.
The assistant director was such a jerk.
He gave me such a hard time during the shoot.
He would say, "Action! Come down!"
"Come down here, you! Action!"
He had said "Action!" about 100 times already,
but we were still on top of the slope.
I went down, and
I parted with Jongok as soon as I started going down.
We drifted apart.
I don't remember what happened after that.
That was it.
Here's the scene.
The slope is so flat.
Apparently, he has this nickname.
It's Early Cancelation Jung.
I've heard that nickname too.
It's because many of his shows were canceled.
Do you remember?
- Here's the proof. / - I don't understand.
Shows often get canceled if they're not popular.
When the shows get canceled early,
the staff don't use the cast from that drama.
But they gave me a leading role in their next drama.
What was the drama?
It was "Open Your Heart".
- I've never heard of it. / - So what happened then?
That drama ended prematurely too.
While other actors star in one drama at a time,
he stars in many.
In 1996,
actor Jung Junho rose to fame at last.
(He became famous for his role in "The Boss".)
The drama depicted a world of gangsters.
It was loved by the whole nation.
"The Boss".
What was your role in that drama?
I played the character Lee Jungjae.
- You should know that. / - Know what?
- You must know Jungjae and Kim Doohan. / - I do know.
Then he starred in the biggest box office success.
It's "My Boos, My Hero".
Your boss, your teacher,
- He looks so young. / - and your father
are one.
It was a comedy film about Korean gangsters.
Junho was right in the middle of its success.
I guess adding a mustache was a trend.
Afterwards, in 2009,
he transformed his acting style with "Iris".
You starred in it with Lee Byunghun, right?
You ran shirtless in one scene.
You weren't muscular at all.
You should have worked on your body beforehand.
I was surprised by the sight of him walking towards me.
I asked the staff for a delay of ten minutes
and I did about 100 push-ups.
It was like trying to squeeze blood out of a stone.
So I did the push-ups.
When it was time to shoot, all my efforts disappeared.
Someone tipped us off on something.
When you were in "Iris", Hyunjoon wanted to be in
a cameo role, but you were against it. Is that true?
Dramas need a cameo role
when the ratings are not high.
It was when the drama had the highest ratings.
When he wanted to do that, I rejected it straight away.
You ought to know the character first.
Did you know about it?
- What was it? / - I was going to play a foreigner.
(Junho was to shoot Hyunjoon.)
Junho wants to star with him and get back at him.
There is a reason for that.
Hyunjoon ruined all my hard work.
I made "Marrying the Mafia" into a huge success.
You only starred in one of the series, right?
- You only starred in the first one. / - Excuse me.
- The first one was the biggest hit. / - Firstly,
you should have done a better job.
(He's blunt.)
I made it easy for you.
Why did you star in it if you couldn't make it popular?
You closed the door for the next guy.
- You starred in the first one, right? / - Right.
I starred in the second one.
That's when your life started to go south.
It was a success.
- That's when your life went south! / - Look.
The second one was a success.
If you had a conscience,
you should have let me have the third one.
Fans are asking if you two will star in the sixth one.
With who?
- With Hyunjoon. / - Do you think I'm crazy? Him?
(Hyunjoon and Junho are the best duo.)
We all know they're best friends and enemies.
They're always busy bickering with each other.
- They have been / - Where did you get this from?
silently taking care of each other for a long time.
What does Hyunjoon mean to Junho?
To me, Hyunjoon is like
an insurance policy.
He's the person who can speak for me
when I'm not present.
When I live my life and
am away for a moment, I need someone to talk about me.
Should I say he is my other half?
That's what he means to me.
What does Junho mean to you?
I think it's very simple.
I think he's family.
If that's so,
how could you bad-mouth me behind my back?
(They're at it again.)
- Let's stop here. / - Do you think I'm an ATM machine?
- Why don't we stop here? / - All right.
(Junho hasn't changed over the last 22 years.)
He has an everlasting passion for acting
and an everlasting friendship.
We will support both of you. Thank you.
(We hope your friendship will continue to shine.)
Junho is really funny.
It was fun watching you together.
You're hosting a new show, right?
You can catch the second episode
