All language subtitles for [English] [EN] 250213 mini핑계고 _ 유재석, 한상진, 조세호, 최다니엘 @뜬뜬편집실 (OneCam) _ EP.20 [DownSub.com]

[About a week ago, at the Ddeun Ddeun office]
Wow, it's been a while since we did miniPinggyego.

Sae Ho and I just finished
You Quiz and came here today.

[Something]
He brought a little something with him.

[America's number one floss!]
Plackers, right?

[Flossing after meals? Use Plackers]

Is Sae Ho going to
demonstrate this for us today? Haha.

[The Gyewon who brought
the surprise is going to demonstrate himself]

Oh, well, here you are.

[Honorary Gyewon number one]
Hello.

[The first Gyewon to bring an ad]
Nice to meet you.

Joseph, I see today...

Oh? It's here.

[Ding-dong]

So, are you doing door-to-door sales now?

That's not true!

You know, I was a model
for this product called "Plackers."

Right.

And guess what! I'm so grateful because

they decided to renew my contract!

Such great news.

[To. The advertiser]
Wow, that must've been a tough decision.

- I'm incredibly grateful.
- Today, haha...

[The floss demonstration cracks him up]
I heard you'll be demonstrating yourself...

Well, I mean...

I was of course, willing to do it myself

but the brand also thought it was
a good idea to have the model show it, you know.

[Requesting demo right away from the brand model]

With teeth all over the place
as mine, this thing is a must.

Brushing alone doesn't
get rid of all the food bits, you know.

[Gyewon's demo]
Hold it lightly like this...

[Handle-type floss]
Hold it lightly.

[Watching from the VIP seat]
And just like this.

Hehe... sorry...

[Come on, it's PPL, you know the drill!]
Since it's a product placement

we have to use it, so just bear with us.

Hahaha.

[Not missing a corner]

[Model's flossing inspires a dental care moment]
Haha.

This floss is made with special fiber
so it's super strong and doesn't snap easily.

[Boom]
And it's got this minty freshness.

[Clap]
Feels nice and refreshing, right?

Joseph is the model for this great product

and it's compact and easy to carry!

A must-have for oral hygiene, anywhere, anytime!

Plackers, thank you.

Lately, I've been on Pinggyego pretty often

and I love it. It's so good.

Loved the last episode, too.

[Lunar New Year is just an excuse(Pinggyego)]
With Dong Wook, right.

Dong Wook's unbothered attitude...

Dong Wook's unbothered attitude

and his hands in his pockets were a highlight.

[Birth of the Pocket Series]
Yeah, right, that one.

Somehow, it became a whole series with Woo Jae.

I didn't mean to but, yeah.

Now I've got this reputation
for being picky about hands in pockets.

- You're not actually that picky about it, right?
- Exactly!

Oh, and also, thank you so much.

Thanks to your love and support...

[ChoNam Zone / Cho Sae Ho and Nam Chang Hee]
"She calls me friend"

[Finally hit 100k views]
hit 100k at last!

[Emotional moment]
That took forever.

[Feeling emotional too]
Seriously, thank you!

It's all thanks to our Gyewons!

[As happy as if it were his own achievement]
"She calls me friend" finally hit 100k.

[Released in April 2022]
It took four years.

[Almost three years to reach 100k views]

If you're a celebrity
your music video should at least hit 100k.

And today, it's been a while
but we're back with miniPinggyego.

[Nom]
And today

we have two special guests joining us.

One is someone

[Close with Sae Ho]
I'm personally really close with.

And the other is basically

[Active comedian]
a comedian these days.

He should get officially registered!

Like Kwang Soo!

[Recognized by the host as a top-tier funny guy]
This guy actively seeks out funny moments.

What...

[Sae Ho's close actor friend, Sang Jin, arrives]
Sang Jin's here!

This guy never shows up empty-handed.

[That bundle caught his eye immediately]
What did you bring this time?

I was gonna send
a Lunar New Year gift to Jae Seok.

[Bringing Lunar New Year gifts]
Why do you keep sending stuff?

It's fresh food, bro.

- Why are you bringing fresh food?
- It's abalone from Wando.

- Hahaha.
- Wando abalone!

I didn't bring yours, though.

[Being upfront to prevent disappointment]
Nope? It's fine.

Come on, we don't need to keep tabs like that.

Oh, thanks, man!

[Knock knock]

- I told you it's fine!
- Hello.

[Junior comedian Choi Daniel enters]
Choi Daniel, our junior comedian, is here.

- How've you been?
- It's been a while, hahaha.

[Still a bundle left]
What's this now?

Jung Eun!

[Sang Jin's wife is Director Park Jung Eun]
It's my wife's team uniform.

[Women's pro basketball]
Take a look.

[Signed BNK Sum team uniform from Busan]
She's a coach now.

[He might as well add Santa to his resume]
She got all the players to sign it.

[To. BNK Sum players]
Wow, I'll treasure this.

Man, this is...

- I've got nothing for you, though...
- Nothing?

It's here.

[Got Sae Ho a gift since he loves basketball]
For Sae Ho...

What's this? A wedding gift?

Oh, come on, man! Why are you like this?

There's a story behind this!

[Sang-Santa's got more stories to unpack]
Just sit down first.

[Everyone, have a seat]
Daniel, take a seat.

- Just sit down.
- Hello.

I have to talk about this wedding gift thing.

[Undressing]
Why didn't you give it at the actual wedding?

[Watching Sae Ho undressing]
I couldn't.

- Why not?
- Ugh...

Oh, there was a line that day...

[Diving straight into the wedding gift story]
Dude, I literally came from Busan

and even the night before
I was on the phone with him.

I told him I wouldn't have time to eat

[Pat pat]
and I'd just take a photo with him

drop off the gift money and leave.

He called me twice to double-check.

[Ears on Sang Jin, eyes on Daniel]
Man, your hair has way too much static.

[Wait a second]
Wait, the hair... some might say

[Born in 1986 / Born in 1982]
"Why's the younger guy patting his head?"

[Just helping with the static]
It's because of the static...

[Letting Gyewons know to avoid misunderstandings]
Just to clear any misunderstandings...

[Appreciates the effort]
Daniel suddenly just reached out and...

- Sae Ho is older!
- No, totally fine!

No worries! No worries!

Sae Ho, calm down!

- Sae Ho's very particular about this stuff.
- No, it's fine.

[Joseph setting some hierarchy]
He doesn't like it when juniors act up.

[Only for juniors he can actually control]
What nonsense...

This guy's a leader, okay?

[Joseph, leader of the Small Giants Club]
A leader?

[Chang Hee, Se Hyung, Byung Jae]
Yeah, he's the leader.

[Talking about Sae Ho's back of the head]
I was the first one to see your hair.

[Talking about Sae Ho being a leader]
Whenever they get together...

[Chaotic conversation from the start]
Your hair falls straight down.

I thought there'd be a curve.

[No misunderstandings!]
I've actually hung out with Daniel before.

We even had hangover soup together.

Yes! We had hangover soup!

[The forgotten wedding gift story]
Anyway, we never finished the wedding gift story.

So, about the wedding gift...

[Wedding gift story so far]
Since I was coming from Busan...

[Sang Jin lives in Busan
so he had to catch a train]

[He couldn't attend the ceremony
and was only stopping by to say hi]

I got there, and you know
what happened at the entrance?

- There was a line!
- A whole line!

It was like... waiting
for the crown prince to appear.

Seriously?

[A bizarre first-time experience]
It felt like...

"Wait, do I really have to line up

[Uneasy]
just to hand this guy a wedding gift?"

[Please, let me explain]
Let me just explain this real quick.

So, are you the type
that likes making people line up?

No, no, no!

Right, he likes it.

[Fact check]
I do like lining up

when I'm buying clothes from a certain brand.

[Desperately clarifying]
But here's what really happened that day.

At a wedding, you've got family and friends
coming to say hi to the bride and groom, right?

So, they lined up to greet us.

But then, people who arrived later
saw the line and just... started lining up too.

[One line created another line]
"Guess we're supposed to line up."

Usually, the groom

doesn't just stand in one spot
taking pictures with everyone like that.

[Often, guests greet the family at the entrance]
Usually the groom just greets everyone

[Then head inside for the ceremony]
with his family and go in.

[Once he started to take photos]
But since this whole photo area got set up...

[The unintended creation of a "photo line"]
The line just naturally formed.

- It got way too long.
- And it took forever.

I was like "What line is this for?"

The moment people got
to the top of the stairs, there was quite a line.

So, all the guests were...

- Yep, all lined up.
- Everyone!

Even the huge seniors in the industry!

Even Lim Ha Ryong was standing in line...

[Even industry legends had to queue up]
I asked why he was waiting in line...

He was like, "Hey, Jae Seok, do I really
have to stand in line just to see Sae Ho?"

I was shocked too...

I ended up greeting some seniors

but never actually got to see Sae Ho.

And, you know, handing someone
an envelope like that is kind of awkward.

[The wedding gift made all the way back to Busan]
So... you never gave it to him?

Look, this envelope is old.

Wait, you stood in line but never got to meet him?

[Had to leave to catch the train]
Nope.

- After all that waiting in line?
- He's so busy.

- Oh, we forgot to say hi properly.
- Right.

[Too many stories, forgot to say hi]
Wow, there's just too much to talk about!

Let's greet our Gyewons properly.

Oh! Hello!

Uh...

Gye... Gyegukji?

-No, it's Gyewons!
- Gyewon!

[A top-tier funny guy from the start]

[The creator of "Gyegukji"]
It became Gyegukji because of Hwang Jung Min...

[Take two]
Yes! Hello! Our Gyewon Arts High!

Wait, what?

[Gyewon Arts High?]

- That's a good one...
- Sorry!

[Impressed]
Wow, hey!

He saved it!

[Comedy degree holder, slightly dizzy]
You planned this, didn't you!

- Don't do stuff like this!
- First Gyegukji, now Gyewon Arts High?

[A variety show prodigy]
This guy's a natural!

This guy's a natural!

This is dangerous! He's fully converted now!

[Variety industry wants him ASAP]
Variety shows are gonna snatch him up...

Wow, Gyewon Arts High!

Never thought we'd get to Gyewon Arts High.

[Take three]
Hello! Our Gyewonies!

Gyewon... what now?

Gyewons!

[Accepted]

Gyewonies, haha.

Whew...

Gyewons are gonna love that!

It makes them sound young.

[Take four]
Yes, hello!

[Concerned / Finally got it right]
Our Gyewons!

I'm Choi Daniel.

[Thinking of what to say]
Really happy to be here!

[Feeling the pressure after the prodigy's shine]
I'm so nervous to do it after this.

Just keep it light.

Hello! Pinggyego Gyewons.

I'm actor Han Sang Jin. Nice to meet you.

[A simple and clean introduction]

It's been a long time since I last saw Sang Jin.

Right? Been a while.

[Filmed Running Man Ep.736 together]
I actually met Daniel at Running Man recently.

These days, you're on variety shows a lot.

Yeah, somehow people
started liking this side of me.

To be honest... like I said at the awards...

[2024 Entertainment Awards
Best Entertainer Award Winner]

I have never once thought
of myself as a funny person.

I'm really just normal! I'm super standard.

[Observing / Self-proclaimed "normal" person]
I think in a super standard way...

Is he really normal, though?

- Not at all.
- Right?

[Firm response from a close friend]
No way.

He's a total

- lunatic.
- What are you saying?

[Two completely opposite views]

- People are gonna misunderstand.
- That's the truth.

[Testimonies about his "lunatic" tendencies begin]
We even lived in the same apartment once.

He actually moved there because of me.

Yeah, that's true.

He said he wanted a south-facing place.

And he found the most
perfectly south-facing apartment.

But! It was too south-facing.

He couldn't even open the curtains!

Because the sunlight was too strong?

Even with the curtains closed, it was boiling.

Wait, it wasn't actually south-facing.

It was southeast-facing!

The sun rose from the east
set in the west, and hit the place all day long.

[A house where you can't escape the sun]
Seriously.

Sunlight all the time

just roasting me alive. It was like...

I couldn't tell if I was living
in a house or a microwave.

People always say
a south-facing home is best, right?

Oh, I suffered through that!

He ended up moving.

[First visit to the new place, away from the sun]
So, I went to check out his new home...

And there was no bedroom in the bedroom.

What do you mean?

[Normally, the master bedroom is south-facing]
Yeah, usually, the master bedroom...

Usually the bedroom is facing south, right?

There was just one lonely computer in there.

He must've really hated south-facing rooms.

He just turned
the north-facing room into the bedroom.

You got fed up, huh?

[Traumatized by south-facing rooms]
Fed up with south-facing rooms.

Wow, that's extreme.

Hating south-facing so much that you went north?

I mean, I had a bit of a bad experience

so I figured since I live alone

I didn't need a huge bedroom.

[Used the master bedroom as a second living room]
So, I turned it into a semi-living room

put a TV and a couch in there

and just slept
in the tiniest room with only a bed.

But now... I moved back.

[No in-between, all or nothing]
Back to the south-facing room?

Yeah, I moved back into the master bedroom.

Wow, you two must be really close.

It's been over ten years now.

[Aired in 2014]
There was a KBS drama called Big Man.

We first met back then.

Some people might be wondering
"Why are these two on the show today?"

Actually, they're starring in a movie together!

- Yep!
- Right, we filmed the movie!

[Time for the movie introduction]
Tell us about it.

- Go on, tell them.
- Go ahead, please.

- Huh?
- You do it!

- Me?
- Yeah, you're good at this.

You do it.

[Sang Jin, you're up]
So it's called Sunny Day.

[Sunny Day to be released on February 19th]
It's a happy movie about fresh starts.

He plays Cho Dong Pil, an elite
who graduated from law school.

And I play a guy protecting Wando.
We were actually old classmates.

Then, one day, my first love shows up

and because of that...

- Things happen?
- Yep, things start happening.

But it's all about the little moments!

You know, those small
everyday things that bring joy.

I only had to go back and forth for shooting twice

but Daniel stayed on the island for a whole month.

- Oh, really?
- For real?

- Yeah!
- In Cheongsando!

The whole thing was filmed
on location in Wando and Cheongsando.

Like, 98% of the movie was shot there.

I even told my manager not to come.

- He didn't come down at all.
- Why?

Since we were in Wando for about a month

spanning the end of the year into the new year...

And my manager has a family and kids

so I told him, "Go spend time with them!"

[Being thoughtful toward his manager]
I figured I could manage by myself.

[Decided to live solo on the island]
So, I just did everything on my own.

But since it was an island

just getting food meant a 15-minute drive.

[Infrastructure makes it tough without a car]
Everything was so far apart...

- I had to hitch rides in everyone's cars.
- Everywhere.

And from Hye In, too.

[The female lead Jung Hye In]
Right, the female lead.

The three of us spent
the longest time on the island.

Even laundry...
The guesthouse owner did it for us.

Seriously?

Even my underwear and stuff...

- So, the owner...
- That's what I'm saying!

And this is why I call him a lunatic!

At the guesthouse, the owner was like

"Since you're staying for a long time
if you leave out your laundry, I'll do it."

[Normally...]
You give them your outerwear

like pants or shirts.

- But we just wash our underwear on our own.
- That's on you.

[Has something to say]
Even if you're stuck on an island for a month.

[Shaking his head]
The way he proudly went

"I gave them my underwear too!"

That's not it, though!

I just... I usually shower completely naked.

- And who doesn't?
- Do we shower with clothes on?

[Trying to explain his laundry
situation leads to a second controversy]

[To those who shower clothed, please reach out]
Who showers with clothes on?

Are you the only one who showers naked?

[Helping out a friend]
No, no, I get what he means.

So you take off everything at once.

Right!

Yeah, I just wasn't thinking.

[Thought he only threw in pants]
So you weren't aware, right?

[The underwear snuck into the laundry]
Exactly.

And by the time you realized
it was already in the washing machine...

"I'm so sorry, but my underwear got in there."

But saying, "Can I have my underwear back?"

That's weird, right?

So I was just like...

It's not like the guesthouse owner
hand-washed it. It's the machine.

[That's technically true...]

I mean, machine-washed
underwear or pants, it's all the same, right?

The machine doesn't know, right?

But after hearing that, Hye In and I

got so grossed out in the morning.

The thought of our clothes
getting washed with his underwear was just...

You know what I mean, right?

That's a bit...

Spending all day filming
but my mind was stuck on the laundry.

- In Wando.
- Hey! It's fine, really.

- I mean with the detergent and all, it's fine.
- Still, though...

[Sang Jin finished filming first]
So, since I wrapped up filming early

I went back to the guesthouse.

I told the owner
"I think something went wrong with the laundry."

But he told me he separated everything already.

[Made sure everyone's laundry stayed separate]
He ran three separate cycles.

[Super considerate guesthouse owner]
One for Hye In, one for Daniel, one for me.

Really considerate.

So grateful.

That's why I still keep in touch with him.

I send him pictures and tell him I'll visit again.

- That's how we keep in touch.
- He was especially fond of Daniel.

[Curious why]
Why though?

He's just super polite to elders.

For some reason, older people really like me.

Ah, yeah. I get it. I like him too.

[Never shows up empty-handed]
"Come by my place."

[Sang Jin, the generous giver]
One time, he called me for a coffee

so I went with a friend.
And then he had a shopping bag.

What was it?

Turns out, he got my friend
a padded jacket and gave me some clothes, too.

Sae Ho's friend once said my jacket was nice.

I was like, "Yeah? Got it."

So next time we met, I got him the same jacket.

[Another case]
Someone was carrying his golf clubs

saying, "Oh, this is nice, dude."
And he gave him one as a gift.

Wait, why are you like that?
Are you just loaded or something?

[Shocked]
No, no! It's not like that!

That's not...

[Hehe]
Seriously, Sang Jin, why are you like this?

- I never got anything, though.
- Oh, really?

- Wait! You never got anything?
- What did I get?

A sofa.

Yeah! Right!

Right, right.

But he put it back on the market.

[After the underwear, the naked shower...]
He's crazy.

[Third controversy
Reselling a high-end gifted sofa]

Dude, come here.

Hey! This is not okay!

[If true, can't defend this one]

[Urgent signals for a quick explanation]
Time out! Time out!

How could you put that on Kar**t market?

[The giver is outraged]
No, no, wait. Time out!

- Let's hear him out.
- Please.

Let's hear it.

Everyone has their own perspective.

[Difference in perspectives]
Now...

The underwear laundry issue was barely settled.

What is this now? I'm not letting this slide.

This conversation is getting heated.

[Requesting a cooldown before the explanation]
Are we overheating?

Yes. Overheated.

- Time to wrap it up?
- Yep.

I'll tell the truth.

[Truth No.1: Did he receive the gift?]
First, you did get the gift, right?

[YES]
Yeah, I got it.

That sofa's expensive. Over a million won.

He gave it to me as a housewarming gift.

[Additional info]
Back when I lived in Yongsan.

And second...

[Truth No.2: Did he put it on the market?]
The market...

[Vague... / NOT YET]
Technically, I haven't listed it yet.

But he did keep asking me
for permission to sell it.

How long has it been?

[More info needed to judge]
How long before you decided to put it up?

- Two years.
- It's not been long but...

I moved, you know...

And when you move, you end up
receiving and buying new things, right?

[Lived in the Yongsan apartment for two years]
My place just got way too crowded.

[More stuff than expected]
So much stuff.

Especially that sofa. It's massive.

Super comfy, but huge.

[Oh yeah]
It's comfortable, but it really is huge.

[That's it]
Like, ridiculously big.

Even though it's a one-seater
it takes up a ton of space.

So, I kept thinking
"What should I do with this?"

And eventually, I thought
"Maybe I should just sell it?"

Heh...

"But if I do, I'll buy him
something nice with the money!"

Does that sound like a valid excuse to you?

Right? Does that even make sense?

- So you were planning to sell it?
- I bought that for you with so much thought.

Nothing about this changes the situation.

Wait! I'm not done yet!

In the end, I didn't sell it. I didn't list it.

I actually thought about
giving it to a younger friend instead.

[Round Two begins]

But I literally had no place for it.

Look, from a listener's perspective

sometimes, when people give you a gift

over time

there might not be enough space for that

or you might feel like you need to let it go.

[Understanding]
Grateful but...

[Exactly]
I loved the sofa. Used it all the time.

But my new place is a little
smaller than the Yongsan one.

My current house.

So I kept thinking, "Where should I put this?"

And in the end, I moved it
to the balcony. And my dog...

Wait, you put it on the balcony?

Yeah! My dogs hang out there now.

[Plot twist never ends]
I went to his new place.

That sofa has only been two years.

So it's basically new.

[When the sofa donor visited the current house]
I went to his new house

and the sofa was gone.

It's on the balcony.

Yeah.

The puppies that are more important than my life!

- I have two dogs.
- And here are even more details.

[Temporary break]
The dogs rest on it. And sometimes, so do I.

[Can't hold it in any longer]
They chewed it all up!

[NOPE!]
No, they didn't! But, they did leave some stains.

So I just wipe it down and sit on it, too.

[That's my statement]

And you know what else I got him?

Luxury shoes.

Those I don't even wear myself.

[Fact check]
Oh, yeah, I remember that!

- You remember, right?
- I do.

But why do you keep giving gifts?

There's actually a reason for that!

But seriously, how do you even live like this?

Look at me, man... this is how I go around.

[Sad]
Look at me! This is what I wear!

[The reason I bought him luxury shoes...]
So, he finished his military service.

This was a long time ago, like ten years ago.

He was about to start his comeback drama

and there's this saying that
wearing new shoes brings good luck.

Before he enlisted
he was really worried about everything.

Would he be able to return to the industry?

- That's always a big concern.
- Right.

[A gift to support his first post-army project]
Since he was starting a new drama

I wanted to wish him a big hit.

I was like, "Go fly high with those shoes."

Six months later...

I saw him dragging them around like slippers.

That's not true. There's also a story behind this.

Just hear me out.

[One explanation per episode]
I got the shoes.

- Great, right?
- Super high-end.

- Super high-end!
- Designer brand.

Really expensive.

But fancy shoes are kind of heavy, you know?

So... they were basically just sneakers.

And since they were sneakers
I just wore them like sneakers.

But he was like
"You're not supposed to wear those casually."

So I thought
"Okay, I'll save them for special occasions."

[And then they stopped getting worn altogether]
And that's how I ended up not wearing them much.

[Listening to this, Sang Jin...]
Wait, Sang Jin

once you give a gift, it's not yours anymore.

You're keeping track way too...

- "Don't crease them."
- "Wear them only for important occasions."

- "Not for daily wear."
- I check up on these things.

If that's how it is

should I report back
on every piece of abalone I eat?

Be careful, you know.

Hang that thing on the wall. Only dry clean it.

He's got rules for everything!

[Shaking]
If it's like this, just take it back!

I'm scared to receive this, man.

What, do I need to get an endoscopy
to prove I ate the abalone properly?

Yeah!

[Excited]
"You can't wear it in the summer."

"It'll get sweat stains."
You'll hear all about it.

[Angel Cho]

- He's really pure-hearted.
- He is.

For example, I tell him
"What you gave to me last time, it was so good."

[Can't hide his joy]
"Oh? You liked it?"

He just loves hearing stuff like that.

Tell them that. I paid for it that time...

Byung Jae and you know...

[Remembered something]

Why are you like that?

[Demanding]
Why are you asking him to bring it up?

A good story!

[Reluctantly spilling the good deed]
So... Byung Jae and I

went out for food...

And we randomly ran into him...

And then, when I went to pay at the end

"Han Sang Jin has already covered everything."

[Smug]

You cut it really short, huh? Haha.

That's all you're gonna say?

[Disappointed at the Shorts version]
Here's what really happened.

[Self-proclaimed master of storytelling]
I'll give you the full version.

What full version?

[Annoying]
You can't fake a long story.

It has to come from the heart!

He forgot about it until now!

[Memory unlocked]
We had a year-end dinner there first.

Right, we did.

Yeah, with Chang Hee.

[With Sang Jin and Chang Hee]
Then, the next week

[Sae Ho called after the year-end dinner]
he called me.

"I wanna go back to that restaurant.
Do you think I could make a reservation?"

So, I booked it under Sae Ho's name.

I asked who would be going.

And it turned out they were all
people I know, like Chang Hee, Byung Jae...

So I called the restaurant again...

"No matter how much it costs, it's on me.
Just take good care of them, please."

That was the full story!
And you were gonna leave it at that?

After all that backstory?

[Too many meals together, got mixed up]
Now that I think about it

we've had so many meals together.

That time, we were just
having our own little gathering.

- He gives you that subtle pressure, right?
- We were just out for dinner together.

But this is the third time I've heard this story.

One, two, three times.

- Enough. Let's stop here.
- Yeah, let's move on.

It's been one, two, three times.

Since I was young, I tend to...

My name has four syllables, right?

So, on the school attendance list

mine always stood out on its own.

And the teacher would be like

[Instantly spotted]
"Who's Choi Daniel?"

"Come read this out here."

[Getting picked to answer]
"Who's Choi Daniel?"

[was a daily occurrence]
"Come solve this problem on the board."

I hated getting singled out
like that. It was so embarrassing.

But if you were that shy

how did you end up in the entertainment industry?

That's the irony.

If you look at my graduation photos

you know how parents
take pictures on graduation day?

I hated taking pictures.
I'd argue with my dad about it

until I ended up crying in every photo.

That's the kind of person I was.

And yet, somehow, I ended up in this field.

[Curious]
So, how did you debut?

Back in high school

my family wasn't particularly well-off.

I worked part-time jobs from a young age.

And at the time
if you made extra appearances in dramas or movies

you'd get paid.

- Right, background actors get paid.
- Yeah, even as an extra.

[A simple part-time gig]
That's how it started.

And at some point
I thought, "Maybe I should actually try acting?"

But my thought process
was super basic. I just wanted to try acting.

I didn't think that
I would get attention for this.

I just wanted to make money.

- Since you were making a profit from this...
- Right.

[Started acting purely to make money]
So, it was like a part-time job at first.

Right, and then, shows like
"Kim Kyung Sik's Ridiculous Theatre"

"School Story" or something, you know? Back then.

I had minor roles in those.

And doing auditions. That's how it all started.

As I got more involved
I realized, "Oh, I need to study acting properly."

[Majored in Broadcast Acting]
So I went to college for it.

[Acting naturally became part of his life]
It just... kind of

- happened naturally, huh?
- Right.

You've been in the industry for quite a while now.

[Debuted in 2003]
How do you feel about being a celebrity?

Honestly, there are difficult parts about it.

Like what?

Getting attention still feels a bit unfamiliar...

Oh, but... you literally...

[In Omniscient Interfering View]
put on a face mask in the car...

[Embarrassed]

[Eating kimbap, doing focus training
drinking lemon juice all while doing a face mask]

[For his quirky, unique persona
he even won MBC's Best Entertainer Award]

Wasn't that all for attention?

He's a total attention seeker!

[Testimony from a close friend]
Come on, admit it.

He's an attention seeker.

- Sang Jin, he's an attention seeker, right?
- A massive one.

- Is he both a lunatic and an attention seeker?
- True.

He won't even mix powder drinks with water
he just pours the powder straight into his mouth.

[More testimonies flood in]
That's 100% attention-seeking behavior.

The thing about observational reality shows is...

[Observational shows capture the daily life]
it's like just a couple of cameras

coming into my real daily life, right?

I can't do that.

From the very beginning
of my career, I've always felt like

- I need to make eye contact with the camera.
- Right, right.

So even when they set up those hidden
cameras, I'd still end up locking eyes with them.

"Sae Ho, please be a bit more natural..."

And eventually... I was like
"I'm so sorry. I can't do this."

Oh, by the way, I used to be
a huge fan when you were Yang Bae Chu.

Used to be... haha.

[Explaining his past fandom]
Covering your face and making funny expressions.

- What about now?
- You're not a fan anymore?

Now, well...

Can you, like... be my fan again?

- I still love you.
- Be my fan... please...

Hey, you have that brand, right?

[Quick subject change]
Clothing.

That's so good.

Chang Hee was wearing that "safe" something.

[Lunar New Year was just an excuse(Pinggyego)]
I thought that was really pretty.

So I bought one... but it didn't fit.

I need to, uh... widen it a bit...

[Real-time customer service]
We wear XL. I bought two, but...

- Are you doing door-to-door sales now?
- What was the brand called? Josephina or what?

- Josephina?
- What was it again? It was something like that.

Am**pre.

Wait.

[Made things worse]

There was a princess
called Josephina or something.

Napoleon's wife was Josephine.

Wow, he's smart.

[Total chaos]
It's because he studied history.

[Doubt]
Wait... so the brand is Am**pre?

We apologize.

[Still doubting]
It was definitely Jose something.

Look, starting from "Gyewon Arts High"
please don't have any misunderstandings.

I had something called
Joseph's Sm**e or something.

[Previous brand]
Oh, maybe I remembered that.

Anyway, thanks
to Sang Jin, the conclusion is clear.

[Current conclusion]
He's both an attention seeker and a lunatic.

Listen, he randomly calls at night.

[New testimony: Late-night call from Daniel]

"Where are you?"
"I'm at home."

Because he was living in the next building then.

"Come out for a while."
I was like, "Why?"

He said he made okonomiyaki.

At home?

He made too much.

So he started calling everyone

gathering people in the middle
of the night just to give it away.

That's just the kind of person he is.

If we don't contact him for a while

he'll do something
to make sure he gets our attention.

[N-th rebuttal]
That's definitely a misunderstanding.

I simply cooked too much food

so I thought, "I should share this."

I gave it to tons of people, my manager as well.

What time was that?

Around... midnight? 1 a.m.?

[No]
It was more like 11 p.m.

You called me at 11
asking if I could come out at midnight.

But... why were you making
okonomiyaki at 11 or 12 at night?

Right? Isn't that weird?

There are moments like that

when you live alone.

Oh, just out of nowhere.

You're just watching a show and
suddenly think, "Oh! I should try making that!"

Okay... that's actually kind of convincing.

And honestly, he's more...

He's way more free than you'd expect.

- His life!
- Yeah, his whole lifestyle is just...

Meeting at night is not a problem.

- Oh...
- Of course.

Because my wife is away for training, so...

Hey! Director Park is busy
planning plays right now!

And you're like...

You can't do that!

And he randomly shows up
at my place in the middle of the night, too.

Even Nam Chang Hee stays until like 3 a.m.

At my place.

My place is like a stopover point for everyone.

- That's wild.
- He's really friendly.

Having a guy like him around is nice, though.

[A solid guy to have in your circle]
Totally.

Sang Jin, you live in Busan now, right?

[Moved to Busan with his wife]
Yeah, since my wife is the coach for BNK.

I'm big on economic fairness.

Since my wife earns her salary in Busan

I believe we should spend that money in Busan.

[Meanwhile, he earns from all over the country]
I make money nationwide, right?

Yeah.

[Locations are not an issue here]
So I spend it everywhere.

But her paycheck comes from a bank
in Busan, so our taxes should go to that city.

That's next-level thinking...

If your legal address is in Seoul
then you pay taxes in Seoul, right?

[So he moved to Busan to match]
Yeah, we changed our residency to Busan.

- And that's where you pay?
- Right.

The team is backed by a bank called BNK in Busan.

BNK is essentially a bank
built on Busan citizens' deposits.

So, I figured if she gets her salary
from that city, we should use it in Busan.

- That's why we moved.
- Wow, that's impressive!

But I'm curious about Sang Jin, too.

How did you get into the entertainment industry?

Back in high school
I never imagined I'd be a celebrity.

Because in my family, the standards were too high.

We have lots of entertainers in our family.

[Aunt: Hyun Mi, Cousin: Noh Sa Yeon
Cousin's husband: Lee Moo Song]

As a kid, if they asked me to sing

I'd barely get one note out
before they'd say I'm off-key.

[Naturally, his standards got higher]
"You're flat."

"Sing again."

So I just thought
"People on TV are built differently."

But then one day...

I was really involved in church in high school.

And for Christmas, they asked me to join a play.

[A religious play based on the Bible]

They told me to do something. Anything.

[First-ever acting experience]
I had never been on stage before.

I actually had stage fright.

But I went up there anyway...
And when I finished, everyone applauded.

That was the first time in my life.

In that moment, I thought

"I want to be a celebrity."

But my family wasn't exactly supportive.

So I just... went to
the SBS building in Yeouido by myself.

I literally just walked
into the lobby and introduced myself.

- Wait, really?
- Yeah.

So, I debuted as
a minor role in Our Happy Saturday.

So you were just like
"Hello" to everyone in the lobby?

There was a guy, Director Lee Sang Hoon.

[Mentions a real name, increasing credibility]
Right, I know.

I had no idea who he was.

But people kept handing him their photos.

[Clearly, a big deal]
And he just sat there like this.

I had no clue who he was
but I thought, "That guy must be important."

I knew no one around there.

So I just went up to him and introduced myself.

"Hello, I'm..."

"I'm Han Sang Jin, in my senior year
in high school, and I want to be a celebrity."

Then, about a month later, I ran into him again.

Turns out, there was a last-minute casting hole.

[A sudden opening in a project]
For Our Happy Saturday.

So, I ended up getting the role
of a waiter in a scene with Rok Gi and Young Ja.

- As a minor role?
- Yeah.

[Landed a role purely on guts]
I had never been on TV before.

Never even stepped inside a waiting room before.

I just sat there... and I still remember this.

Lee Young Ja walked in and went, "Who are you?"

So I was like

[Fearless self-introduction]
"I'm playing the waiter today."

I said it proudly
because I had no clue how things worked.

And she was like
"Uh... you're not supposed to be in here."

Turns out, I was in her waiting room.

Her name was right there on the door.

It's your fault then.

Attention seeker.

No, I didn't know!

- Major attention seeker.
- No, look.

I was like, "I'm the waiter today."

[A situation anyone would panic in]
"You're not supposed to be here."

Then, an assistant director
came in and literally dragged me out.

[Forcefully escorted out]
So I...

So basically, Sang Jin just
walked into the industry with zero background.

Yep...

In simpler terms

[Completely unqualified trespassing]
he just barged in with nothing.

But I guess I did well

because I ended up
staying on the show for a month.

Wait, really?

There was a piece Dong Yeob
and Young Ja did, called Wedding March.

I became a fixed character there!

So technically, you didn't debut with a drama?

[His roots are in variety shows]
He's originally from variety shows.

- You debuted with variety shows, huh?
- Yup, variety was my foundation.

They're all comedians.

- We're practically one big family.
- Excuse me...

I started with dramas and movies.

Okay, but these days you're basically a comedian.

Kids walking by think you're a comedian.

Sang Jin is now an actor

[Comedian to Actor]
but started as a comedian.

- And Daniel...
- Was an actor.

[Actor to Comedian]
But now a full-time comedian.

They're all comedians.

What was your nickname in school, Sang Jin?

Han-Sal-Jin.

- Oh, back then, he was a little...
- I was huge.

- I was 110kg.
- Really?

He went through a massive weight loss.

- Whoa, I had no idea.
- I lost 47kg.

Daniel, what was yours?

In elementary school... It was Yogi Daniel.

Hehe.

[The classic nickname method: Name pun]

Some people know the reference

but for those who don't...

Back in the 80s and 90s...

[Yogi Daniel was Korea's first-ever
yoga master and TV personality]

Super famous for yoga.

He could fold himself into tiny boxes.

Like, the Korean equivalent would be Mr. Barrel.

He even appeared on Come to Play.

Like Bizarre People Chronicles with Jung Dong Nam.

- With Mr. Barrel.
- Right.

Jung Dong Nam once did a stunt
where he lifted Na Young by his teeth with a rope.

[Teeth lifting]

He started bleeding a little.

Jae Seok asked if he was okay.

[I'm OK]

You remember that, right?

- Joseph, stop.
- I still watch that clip at home.

[Losing control]
Why bring up something that never aired?

Matchstick! Matchstick!

[Blowing out candles with his nose]

[Asking again]
You remember this, right?

[Encore]

He even has a way to eat apples.

Chop, chop, chop, chop!

There was blood on the apple...

[Second bleeding incident]
Uh, looks like he...

hit something...

[Not over yet]
And then

there was a "grenade shot."

He tears the beer can open with his teeth.

Oh, yeah, I remember that one!

[DO NOT try this at home]
So he just went...

"Grenade!" and he'd drink like this.

- We miss you, sir.
- Hope you're doing well, sir.

[Since we brought it up, New Year's greetings]
Happy New Year!

Now that we're talking about the New Year...

Daniel, any resolutions
or anything you want to do?

I just want to do my best
with whatever comes my way.

Give it my all.

A while ago, I went to SBS Jungle BOB 2.

- Oh yeah.
- Yeah, I filmed that.

I finished filming in Peru.

[First episode airs February 27th]
So that's coming soon.

And the movie seems like
the perfect feel-good film for the New Year.

When's the release date again?

[Reminder: Sunny Day to be released on February 19th]
February 19th.

Not long now.

It's a great family movie

really warm and heartwarming.
I just wanted to share that.

Daniel, don't you sing a little?

- Oh, I'm not really good at it.
- Really?

I just like listening to music.

What kind of music do you like?

I like pretty much everything.

Hip-hop, R&B, dance music...

[Big on dance tracks]
Do you know any recent dance songs?

Hmm... you know, the really upbeat ones, like...

something that goes chwak chwak!

What's chwak?

Power power?

Oh, power!

Did you just turn power into chwak...

Power hip-hop man, right?

That's not the same as "power power."

What are you singing?

It's G-DRAGON's "Power," isn't it?

Since he likes singing.

He was even on King of Mask Singer.

He likes singing.

Right, you were on King of Mask Singer.

Even though I'm completely tone-deaf.

Now that I'm in my forties

I have this list.

"Things I've never done
before that I want to try."

I was always scolded for my bad singing.

[Forties goal: Improve singing]
So I decided I'd try singing in my forties.

So... in the middle of our movie shoot

I took a day off

to shoot for King of Mask Singer
and went back to Wando at night.

So...

He gives his all on things he wants to do.

He just ditched the movie shoot and all...

He just wanted to go sing.

So he put off all the schedules and went.

So... he's bad at his main job?

Alright, so don't get him wrong, please.

- He's really dedicated.
- It's just joking around.

Come on, I've been doing this for 30 years.

You think I'd last this long

if I wasn't doing my job properly?

[Genuinely upset]
I've worked on over 70 projects.

And he has never been late to a shoot.

That's the one thing I hate.

- Same for him.
- Right.

He always shows up early.

- I just have to get there early.
- Right, he arrives like an hour ahead.

And stays in Young Ja's waiting room.

It's a little demanding since he arrives so early.

I have a routine.

Whenever we have an overnight shoot

I find a local bathhouse in the morning.

I chat with the old guys there.

- Then?
- Then I go for a run.

- Oh...
- I have way too much time before filming.

That's why you always look exhausted on set.

That's why he's exhausted
during the shoot, and catches a cold.

Sang Jin, you need to manage your energy better.

I actually showed up here an hour early today.

Sang Jin, take better care of yourself.

Am I too much?

And also, your beard is already growing out!

You shaved before coming here

but since you came in so early

your beard is already growing out.

[Attack]
His beard grows crazy fast as well.

[Unannounced beard inspection]

Right now, it's covered well.

It's covered and...

I time it based on the shoot schedule.

Right!

Sang Jin, it's been hours since you shaved, right?

- Right, a few hours.
- See? That's why it's already growing back!

Bro, my house is 440km from here.

Yours is 200 meters away.

- My house is 440km away, man!
- Right.

- Sorry about that.
- That's true, though.

- Sang Jin, my bad.
- Oh, right.

- Your house is literally right next door!
- You're right.

[Everyone forgot where he actually lives]
Your place is right there.

I totally overlooked that.

I officially apologize.

[Sincere apology]
I'm sorry.

My wife's gonna flip.

- Jae Seok, just because I live far...
- Coach, I'm sorry.

[Calm down, please]
I'm sorry.

Seriously. Sorry.

It's a 900km round trip just today!

[Oh... yeah...]
That's actually true.

[Fist Defense]
Commuting from Busan to Seoul

is really tough.

[Second Defense]
After you get to Busan, it's another ride home.

Right, about 40 minutes.

[Third Defense]
And it's exhausting to travel.

By car or by whatever.

[Fatigue that won't go away]
Even if you just sit in a car, it drains you.

That fatigue doesn't go away.

But honestly, when I moved to Busan

[First guest at the new house]
Daniel was the first person to visit.

I did go to Busan once.

I knew you two were close, but...

Right.

- I didn't realize it was this deep.
- You guys are real close.

When I was filming a short film

he didn't even have a role.

He just showed up.

[That's how close they are]
He watched me directly and hung around.

And after we wrapped, we got food together.

And he would give me advice.

And then... I ended up appearing in the movie.

[Spontaneous cameo]
I just went to visit.

And he was like, "Might as well."

Since you're really close, I want to ask...

Sang Jin, what is Daniel to you?

A little brother.

And Daniel, what is Sang Jin to you?

A small burden.

["Han Sang Jin is a small burden to me"
by A little brother, Choi Daniel]

[Small burden has something to say]
This guy...

[Shortened]
S.B for short.

I got him perfume that I don't even use.

I don't even wear perfume.

[Deeply wounded Han S.B]
I got you luxury sneakers, man!

No, no! I love him. I really do!

But, you know...

Just like... there are
different kinds of "stuff" in life...

and, like... it's all meaningful...

- You know?
- So...

What funny is, he even acts like a big brother.

I just finished directing my fourth short film

and this guy showed up again.

Worried, like, "Is he doing okay?"

But after spending time with both of you today...

Sang Jin actually feels like the younger one.

[Sang Jin taking consecutive damage]
You're really immature.

Sang Jin.

You have such a warm heart.

Such a good guy...

Yeah, he's really kind.

But you're... kind of childish.

[Can't even argue, just crying]
Now that I look at it, he's just not mature.

It's just that he wants to do so many things.

[Defending his childish but kind-hearted brother]
He's super ambitious.

Overflows with it.

[Backup defense team enters]
I'm the same way, but he also

really needs to take better care of himself.
Instead, he's always putting others first.

- Putting others first!
- Always trying to help someone.

Doesn't Coach Park say anything about that?

I barely see my wife... maybe 60 days a year?

She's out for like 300 days.

[At least he keeps up his image at the games]
For my wife, I always try to look good

stay presentable and gentle at the games.

[Example]
"Good job, that was nice." That's about it.

[The way Sae Ho remembers Sang Jin at the games]
I still can't forget it.

His wife is a literal legend
in Korean basketball, right?

A true legend.

[Park Jung Eun: Basketball player turned coach]
In WKBL history, she's unforgettable.

[Legendary forward of Korean women's basketball]
And as a national team player, too.

[Key player in 2000 Sydney Olympics semifinals]
Such a legendary player.

Then came her final game...

Normally, when a player retires

the player is the one crying, right?

But this dude...
I thought something horrible had happened.

He was straight-up bawling.

[Holding a bouquet, ugly crying]
He was bawling.

I don't even know why I cried that much.

- Meanwhile, his wife was totally calm.
- So chill.

[The actual retiree was calmly giving her thanks]
She was thanking everyone

for all the love and support.

[Feels like crying now]
Meanwhile, this guy...

- He's just really emotional.
- Yeah.

But there were... some circumstances.
I was the first member of I Live Alone.

[Unsure]
You were?

It originally started as a pilot show

called When a Man Lives Alone.

[2013 Special program When a Man Lives Alone]
It was me, Lee Sung Jae, and Hong Chul...

[Featuring Ro Hong Chul as MC, Kim Kwang Kyu
DEFCONN, Lee Sung Jae, Han Sang Jin]

[The behind story of the pilot show]
So, I was talking to PD Lee Ji Sun.

That was when I was filming The King's Doctor.

[Weekend couple back then]
She asked what I usually do since I'm alone.

I said, "I ordered two bowls of Jjajangmyeon

eat one now

and freeze the other for later."

She thought that was hilarious.

She was like, "How about filming that?"

Back then, there was
no such thing as observational cameras.

It was just a pilot, but the ratings were insane.

[Recorded 6.6% viewership in its timeslot!]
Two episodes, and the response was massive.

Apparently, my segment got the highest ratings.

So, the show got picked up as a regular program
but then my wife announced her retirement.

[No longer a weekend couple]
Which meant I wasn't living alone anymore.

[Failed to meet the show's core requirement]

So I got kicked off.

- So, that's why you cried.
- That's not why.

[Wasn't that what we were talking about?]
There's no way I'd...

- Ah, that's why you were crying your eyes out!
- Because his show got canceled.

[Embracing]
"I could've been a superstar."

"Now I'm..."

[Whatever]
"This was my spot, Jun Hyun Moo took it!"

But the funniest part about back then was

even if you were married
if you lived separately, it still counted.

The first concept of the show was like
weekend husbands, or long distance husbands.

[The show later evolved
to showcase solo life regardless of gender]

[Changed the title to I Live Alone]
So it was called When A Man Lives Alone.

The original title.

Why haven't I heard of this story before?

Man, you must've been really sad.

- I was devastated.
- Right.

Still... whenever I'm watching I Live Alone...

Do you cry?

I'm boiling inside.

The whole thing started
because PD Lee Ji Sun personally came to me

when I was all dressed up
as a king for The King's Doctor.

"What do you usually do at home?"
"I order two bowls of Jjajangmyeon."

"Eat one now and freeze the other for tomorrow."

She thought
it was hilarious and wanted to film it.

Then... she apologized to me later.

Said we'd work
on something else together in the future.

And then, she went freelance and left MBC.

PD Lee Ji Sun actually created the show

but then moved to another network.

[The behind story that never saw daylight]
I literally built that show, but look at me.

It must've been frustrating for Sang Jin
with all those good deeds stories as well...

No one knows this!

If she sees this, she should give him a call.

Honestly, I never knew about any of this.

[Finally uncovered after all these years]
Never knew about I Live Alone.

Now that I think about it
I do remember seeing Sang Jin on that show.

I was there

just sitting alone on my couch
singing into my home karaoke mic.

People thought it was staged
but that's literally what I do at home.

Yeah... no, I don't remember that part.

Because I hate dramatic stuff.

Like talking bad about someone or any drama.

Didn't you just talk bad earlier?

You totally threw me under the bus.

- Making stuff up.
- Right, making stuff up.

[Reevaluating everything they just heard]
Creating non-existent stories.

Didn't you just talk bad about basically everyone?

Dramatic stuff!

Just for the show, you know. Aggressive things.

Oh, yeah?

[He's saying: that's why you might not remember]
So I just went with this chill mood.

So, are you still willing to do
variety shows like that? If you're asked?

Nothing too aggressive, though.

Just chill... you know, just talking like this.

Weren't you attacking everyone?

Full on aggressive mode.

[What Sang Jin just did, moments ago]
Pointing fingers, ranting about the PD...

Immediately jumping into wedding line complaints.

Dude, you're literally
the most aggressive one here.

How do you say you hate
aggressive variety shows?

I like calm and chill shows.

So you just want to be
the only one attacking people, huh?

You don't wanna get attacked.

Do you wanna be the only one doing the attacking?

Something like "I Attack Alone."

[I'm exhausted alone]

We don't even expect
immediate replies in our chats.

Like today, I texted Daniel.

Might not hear back
until... the day after tomorrow.

[Daniel rarely checks his messages]
He doesn't really check.

[His unread messages are 999]
It's all 999, you know.

So, I literally put it on my profile.

- What did you write?
- "If you need something, call me."

[Picks up phone calls right away]
Oh, so call you?

- Yeah.
- Rather than texts?

I prefer calls over texts.

Right, he does.

I'd like to hear someone's voice.

Plus, messages don't always
capture nuances accurately.

And text can easily be misinterpreted.

Like, I might send something casually
but the other person might read it like

[There might be misunderstandings]
"Oh no, is he mad? Did that sound cold?"

That's a little...

That's why people use so many emojis.

[Emojis?]
Right.

Why do you always send
this emoji at the end of your messages?

To end the conversation.

[Jae Seok's go-to emoji: Finish it]
I had no idea that's what it meant.

[Sang Jin]
"Yep, see you next week!"

And he sends this, so I press like.

[Sang Jin]
"Got it."

[Jae Seok: Finish it]
He keeps sending this.

[Sang Jin]
"Alright, man."

I thought it meant something.

[Each one venting to their closest friend]
He keeps texting after I tell him it's over.

[To. Sae Ho / To. Daniel]
I never knew when it was actually done.

I got it! I got it! I get it!

- He never stops texting.
- It never does!

So he's got a great heart, but...

he has zero social awareness sometimes.

Most people get it the moment I send that emoji.

"Ah, conversation over!"

[The only one who didn't catch on: Sang Jin]
He's always like, "Alright, so what?"

And he sends this back.

[First time experiencing a "counter-salute"]

Saluting never ends!

[Hilarious]
What's with all the saluting...

It's kind of like...

[Jae Seok]
"Right, you're doing such a great job."

[Sang Jin]
"Thank you, sir. Well then..."

Is it a military or what!

[Same emoji, different interpretations]
Why would I be...

[Didn't think it meant goodbye]
I didn't know.

Actually, this needs a bit of clarification.

[When it comes to Sang Jin and Sae Ho's texts]
When you text...

For example...

- [Sae Ho] See you tomorrow!
- [Sang Jin] Alright, Sae Ho, see you tomorrow.

[Sae Ho] Have a good night.

[That's where the conversation usually ends]
And that's the end of it.

[Sang Jin] You too, Sae Ho! Have a good night.

By the way, wanna check this out?

[One conversation leads to another]

It's supposed to end here!

[But the texts just keep coming]
This is getting out of hand!

[Annoying Sang Jin]
Sang Jin is being annoying.

A total text spammer.

Honestly, my nickname in high school was Jin Sang.

[Trying to get to the root of the issue]

[A confession, years in the making]
He says his nickname was Jin Sang.

Well... somehow that makes sense.

[Cool with admitting it]
Yeah, I was. That was my nickname in high school.

Hey, don't go scrolling through the texts!

- No, no, it's not that many.
- Right.

When you send one message, you get three back!

[One message, three replies]

Sae Ho did that...

You know how you can press a heart
on a message to kind of end the conversation?

He did that, but the replies keep coming.

When you get a heart, it means it's over.

Oh, really?

Wait, doesn't a heart just mean you like it?

Yeah, so you like it...

- "Alright, let's wrap this up."
- "Good, good."

[Most people use it as an acknowledgment]
Like, "Okay, that was enough."

[He had no idea]
I didn't know that.

For example, if you send "Okay."

Do we need to reply?

No, you're good.

Or, if they press the heart, that's it.

[Sae Ho's ultimate sign-off: a heart]
So I usually go with a heart.

Oh, so this is it.

That means it's done.
But when I send this, Sang Jin's like...

[No more conversation after the salute, please]
"Alright, got it. Then..."

It never ends.

He sent a salute, what am I
supposed to do? Not return the salute?

[Conclusion: Communication error]
So, there was a communication error.

We've known each other for a long time but...

Salute incident!

But we only recently started texting, so...

So from now on, when I send
a salute, that's the sign to stop.

Okay, I'll remember that.

- With a heart!
- With a heart! A heart is the official stop.

That's official now.

From now on, when Yu Jae Seok sends
this emoji, everyone should respond with a heart.

Everyone, every junior, everyone who knows him!

- Wait, why are you deciding this?
- Even the staff, too.

- No, stop it.
- Let's be clear on this.

Everyone here knows already.

[Jae Seok and the team's actual text]
When I send this, everybody knows it's over.

So if he sends this, we go heart, and that's it.

If I pressed the heart, that's it.

[Confirmed]

If you send me a heart
that means I don't need to text back.

[A heart seals the deal]
Heart means done!

[Time flew by]
It was so much fun today.

I mean, it's just miniPinggyego
but I totally lost track of time.

You two have so many stories!

At first, I thought the place was a bit small

so I was worried it might feel
a bit cramped and exhausting.

But I didn't feel that at all! It was so much fun!

This is the best space for conversations.

[A heart for the miniPinggyego filming set]
It's just right! This round table.

If it's too big, the sound gets lost.
But here, it's nice and focused.

The small, cozy setup makes it even more fun.

And with just one camera.

[Perfect eye contact]
It doesn't even feel like we're being filmed.

[Which makes for even better conversations]
It's just natural to talk.

[Salute ready]
Anyway, Daniel, let's meet again soon.

This year, my goal is
to attend the Pinggyego Awards!

If I come on miniPinggyego
do I still get invited to the awards?

Of course!

And you should come back on Pinggyego, too!

- Invite us again.
- Yeah, if you invite us later...

You've got so many more stories, right?

Oh, so many!

We'll bring you back with
"Unfinished story is just an excuse(Pinggyego)."

He's got a whole story
about how he got into the army late.

I'll tell you all about it next time.

[A sneak peek]
Yeah, there was a whole fiasco

because of me.

[Salute ready again]
Alright, let's thank our Gyewon

today as well.

And also Daniel and Sang Jin!

And, of course, our dear Joseph!

And most importantly, a huge thanks to

[Thank you, Plackers!]
Plackers!

[We'll drop by again sometime!]
See you next time, everyone!

Sang Jin, thank you so much for this. Abalone.

He gave abalone to all our staff.

Really?

Man, we should've highlighted this!

I was too busy teasing him!

Next time, we'll make sure to mention it.

If you're eating it today, you can eat it fresh.

But if you want to save it
for your wife, make sure to freeze it.

He's giving the salute with his expression.

[Production: Antenna Plus]
Mixing: Youth Sound]

[miniPinggyego]
See you next time.

Great job today. Thanks so much!
