Original subtitles

[27-second preview] What's 91 times?

- The ones I kept appearing in. Me! Me! - He's in all of them.

Who appears in 91 times?

It's his own show.

I'm in it!

- Jae Seok should be in all 91 episodes. - You can skip one.

I…

Kwang Soo likes those

- emotional, heartbreaking rock ballads. - He does.

Kind of like this, that…

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, this expression…

You don't know…

Hey, why are you laughing?

No, it's not that.

Saying "Why are you laughing?" to the PD?

- It could happen. - Sorry, sorry.

[All Gyewon, attention!]

[Laughter guaranteed / Talk guaranteed We guarantee it today!]

[You'll regret missing this talk!]

[We'll chat hard so you won't unsubscribe]

[Pinggyego]

[Gyeju enters in a bee-like costume] I'm here

today

because my beloved younger friends

are doing a project again

after a while.

Huh, what's this?

[Pinggyego appearance record update] How many times has Dong Wook been on?

[Se Chan: 12 times, Dong Wook: 8 times] This is his eighth appearance.

[Kwang Soo: 3 times] Eighth already.

Kwang Soo's a bit underwhelming!

[Noticeably fewer grape bunches] Even Dong Wook is showing up this much now.

[Rule: Appearance fee from 3rd time onward] Does Kwang Soo get paid starting today?

Yes.

Let's hold off on Kwang Soo!

We need to talk about this.

[First-ever Pinggyego payment delay] Honestly, Kwang Soo's appearances

[Lack of appearances despite close friendship] are too few compared to our friendship

so paying him from the third time seems off.

I mean, it is our rule

but when he comes, I'll talk to him.

I've been doing some things for Kwang Soo anyway.

[Due to the issue, Kwang Soo hearing planned] We have an issue today.

- Then I'll hand this over in advance. - Sure.

[Coupon book and sticker handed over] He said he'd bring it with him.

Bring what?

[Came for the 3rd appearance sticker] The coupon book.

[Kwang Soo promised to bring his coupon book] I need to casually bring that up

to Kwang Soo.

So today, we upgraded the coupon book

[Coupon book upgrade complete] as a commemorative gift.

Really?

The award ceremony seat upgrade coupon?

[From 3-person to 2-person seats] Upgrade from a 3-person to a 2-person seat.

[Now you get a spacious and comfy seat] Really?

Talk location selection coupon.

[e.g. you can now request a different place!] If they want to choose a talk location

[Sensitive Introverts Are Just an Excuse. Ep.61] they can now change it to something else.

What's the birthday party coupon?

We'll host a birthday party.

Host it?

[Hosted by DdeunDdeun, MC: Gyeju] Jae Seok, please be the host.

[Relaxed] Oh, if they're invited, I'll take care of it.

I can handle

most MC duties.

[After checking out the new coupon book time for some refreshments]

- We have coffee and misutgaru ready. - I'll have some misutgaru.

Oh, thank you.

Mmm.

[Satisfied with the talk fuel choice] Nice.

Wow, this tastes amazing after so long.

This snack is really old-school.

I think

it came out in the early '80s maybe even the '70s.

[Butter Coconut Biscuit released in 1979]

Right?

[Old-school chat begins] Back then, 10,000 won felt like a huge deal.

Snacks were 100 won Jjajangmyeon were 500 won.

[Arrived early] Jae Seok, hello!

Oh wow, Se Chan!

Why are you bringing up the old days again?

[Interrupting to stop old stories] I wouldn't say it's the old days, just chatting.

You're wearing

something short today.

[Checking out Se Chan's outfit] Yeah, I went for a cute look today.

- Sit down, sit down. - Because people I like are on today.

I haven't told Kwang Soo yet

but I just noticed this is his third time appearing.

[Shares Kwang Soo's appearance record] This is only his third time.

So he was on last year?

Before going to Vietnam?

Right! Before that X-ray scan!

[Ongoing X-ray mystery] X-ray.

[Reference: Signing Up Is Just an Excuse. Ep.54] Didn't he go

- to Vietnam for an X-ray scan? - X-ray.

That's what I heard.

I'm shocked he's only been

- on three times. - Exactly

I saw that and was totally shocked!

Only three appearances from Kwang Soo till now? That makes no sense.

Right!

- This means… - That means

just once a year.

- Pinggyego's been running for three years? - Yeah, three years now!

[Pinggyego started on November 15, 2022] It's in its third year.

[Kwang Soo's third appearance: Today, in 2025!] That's right.

[Speechless] Compared to our friendship, he's barely shown up.

- Even Gong Yoo! - It's a bit disappointing.

- Even Gong Yoo's been on a few times! - Oh, Gong Yoo.

Even top stars have been on three times!

[MC of the top stars] I've seen Gong Yoo twice myself!

[More they talk, more it stings] That's right.

- Even Gong Yoo… - These top stars…

- Anyway, today, seriously! - This middle…

[Do they sound too excited about this?] This mid-star…

- This… - A mid-star…

A mid-star acting like this?

Just let him show up today!

[Excited to tease him] Even Dong Wook will be upset when he hears this.

Of course he will.

Dong Wook will be mad.

[One] I mean, someone like Kwang Soo

should at least show up for a quick hello.

[Two] Obviously.

If he comes today, I'm not letting it slide!

Gyewon! Don't stop me today!

[Serious warning] Well…

Don't stop me today.

- Where's the stick? - I won't hold back today.

- He's getting the stick today! - He's getting

a proper scolding.

I even gave Kwang Soo New Year's money!

New Year's money?

Let's bring that up when he gets here!

[Feeling great] We've got so much to say.

[Stacking up talking points] Way too much right now.

- Suddenly, I have so much to say! - I didn't know.

That line's funny.

That he showed up less despite the friendship.

- Kwang Soo is guilty! - This is…

- Oh, this… - This could go to court!

Yeah! This one!

[Upcoming hearing] How could he only show up three times with that?

[He even got New Year's money from me] We need a hearing on this.

[Despite the friendship] Definitely.

[3 appearances on Pinggyego. Isn't that too few?] Let's hold a hearing today.

[Bursts out laughing]

[Chomp] Kwang Soo must be on his way

- excited to promote something! - Oh my.

[Came to promote] Just thinking about

[Going to get scolded instead] scolding Kwang Soo today

makes me so happy.

Today, it's "Promotion Gone Wrong"

[Pure joy]

he came to promote but he'll leave with

[Perfectly in sync in teasing] Promotion Gone Wrong, Promotion Gone Wrong

I'm going to completely roast him today.

[Gyeju is fully ready to tease him] Yesterday, Jae Seok must've thought

[Obviously] Seriously…

- I slept so well last night! - it'd be a blast since Kwang Soo's coming.

Dong Wook, Se Chan, Kwang Soo.

[Excited to see his favorite younger bros] I thought, today's going to be

- full of laughs. - Came to laugh

- but saw three grapes! - But after seeing that chart, I got so mad!

Kwang Soo shows up every season

on PD Na Young Suk's shows.

Feels like he's on them daily.

These days he's practically D.O.'s butler.

[tvN Green Bean, Red Bean spin-off with D.O.] Right?

[Company cafeteria operated by PD Na Young Suk]

[Overflowing with hot topics] So many issues now.

I've got so many questions.

It's because Kwang Soo

- hasn't been here in so long. - It's been too long.

- We wouldn't ask this much if he came more often. - Exactly.

[Screech]

That's not Dong Wook's tone.

[Eagerly waiting] First of all, the tone lacks confidence.

We need the stick today.

- Look at this! - Oh, Kwang Soo!

[Hello] Kwang Soo.

[Charges in] You punk, perfect timing today.

[The hearing target gets picked up in person] What, what?

- Kwang Soo! - Look at this.

- Sit down, sit down. - Why, why?

Just sit for now.

[Still doesn't know why] You really got caught today!

- Put on your mic. - You're caught today!

[Straight to the point] After your X-ray scan in Vietnam

it's been a year since your last appearance.

And look at that!

We're tracking appearance count with grapes

- and you've got three, just three! - Just three, Kwang Soo.

Even Dong Wook's been on eight times.

- Considering friendship, you've barely been on! - Way too little!

Ah, is this my fault?

[Ridiculous]

I mean…

- It's once a year. - Once a year!

[Quickly agrees] I see that.

[Disappointed] That's honestly too much.

It really has been a while since I came here.

Yeah.

You were wearing that earth melon smoothie outfit and

- went to Vietnam for that X-ray… - I told you it wasn't X-ray!

- It wasn't? - Hey!

You keep pretending you didn't hear me. How many times do I have to explain?

[Back to the topic] You were supposed to…

Starting from the third time…

- We usually… - I brought it.

Wait, hold on!

Only with Kwang Soo do we suddenly hear "wait."

He just said "wait."

[Freeze!] Wait.

Normally, appearance fees start from the third time.

- Exactly. - But in your case

we have to think about it.

Isn't it the rule

to start from the third time?

But you might be the first exception.

[You're right] Normally, yes, that's the rule!

[Reason: Too few appearances despite friendship] But for someone as close as you

[Considering an exception to the rule] showing up only three times? Does that make sense?

[Additional reason] And I did give you

New Year's money this past holiday at the gym, right?

You gave me 1,000 won and you talk big!

He gave you 1,000 won?

He gave me 1,000 won! In front of everyone.

[Explaining the New Year's money issue] I bowed to Jae Seok and said

"Happy New Year," and

[1,000 won] he put something in my pocket and left.

[Jae Seok disappears, focus shifts to the money] And then Jae Seok left

[All eyes on Kwang Soo] and everyone looked at me.

"How much did you get?"

[Drops the bait and leaves]

No one asked me directly, "How much did you get?"

- Of course. - So

[New Year's money from Jae Seok]

I pulled it out of my pocket and it was 1,000 won!

[Is this for real?]

At least you got something.

[Pouting] Anyway, we'll talk about this later.

And you know once you appear three times

[Coupon book given for third appearance] you get a coupon book, right?

I brought it!

- To get it stamped? - What did you bring?

First, stick the sticker.

[Takes out the coupon he brought]

Oh, you brought it.

Does that mean I start getting paid now?

[Nods]

Thanks.

Two thousand won should do, right?

[Still negotiating the fee] Hey.

With inflation, it should go up 1,000 won?

- No, 2,000 won is a bit… - Okay, okay.

Got it.

[Calms down] Take a look at this coupon book!

- It's all here. - That's cute!

They're really good at making stuff like this.

Birthday party coupon!

[Browsing] I'll host it for you on your birthday.

So invite me when you throw your party!

Free promotion coupon! If you have anything to promote, let me know.

[His favorite one] Oh, that free promotion one is so good.

Oh my.

- Dong Wook, welcome! - Welcome, Dong Wook.

What are you carrying?

It's for the staff.

[Impressed / Frozen] That's what I'm talking about.

[Full of betrayal] Oh, Dong Wook.

Why'd you bring something this early in the morning?

We left together, and you didn't say anything. Now suddenly you show up with this?

I don't usually mention that stuff.

[Very disappointed / Calm]

[Relaxed like the star he is] Kwang Soo came empty-handed.

[Greets Se Chan warmly] Have a seat.

- Se Chan. - Dong Wook.

Please sit.

You haven't seen Dong Wook in a while, right?

- Yeah, it's been four days. - Four days!

[Four days feels like a year] Just four days?

- We met recently. - When?

With Sae Ho?

- With Se Hyung. - Really?

[Disappointed] I don't see Sae Ho much.

- Only when we're shooting Pinggyego. - It's been a while then.

Oh, so now it's a business relationship.

- Exactly. - It's over now.

[Please stream ChoNam Zone's "DON'T SAY GOODBYE"] Sae Ho and Chang Hee's album

[Released March 15] is coming out tomorrow.

[Tap tap] Album?

Don't mention that.

Yeah.

Talk about your own stuff! Your own stuff!

- Just talk about The Divorce Insurance! - Come on.

[Rustle] That's way too obvious.

[A dignified greeting from the award recipient] Hello.

- Hello! - Yeah, yeah, look at this!

[Learning by watching] Hello, I'm YouTuber and actor Lee Dong Wook.

- He's got that class. - Hello, I'm Lee Kwang Soo.

Somehow we ended up matching outfits

- in blue and red, like the classic thread colors. - You're right.

Haven't heard that in a while.

- We're dressed like the blue and red corner. - Blue corner…

- Like magnets! - That's true.

[North pole / South pole] North and South pole.

[KINGKONG brothers' perfect chemistry expected] They click.

They really do.

How long has it been since you joined the same agency?

[Over 10 years under KINGKONG by Starship Ent.] It's been a long time. Over ten years.

That's a really long time.

You joined first, right?

[Kwang Soo joined first] Kwang Soo was there first.

[Joined in 2009 / Joined in 2010] I think we're about a year apart.

[2009~2010] I joined during High Kick Through the Roof.

That's a long time ago.

[Munch munch] Yeah, that's a long time.

It's not easy to stay with the same agency

- for so long. - It's not easy.

- You even go to the same salon! - Yeah.

- Kwang Soo recently moved - Right, right, right.

- to the salon I go to. - It was recent.

Why did you do that?

[Twitch] You're following him around, huh?

I don't like that look on your face.

[Ready to tease no matter the answer]

It's…

It's not that I followed him.

You keep following Dong Wook.

- It's not following… - Say it politely, politely.

[With class] It's not following…

- Politely. - I said it politely like this.

[Respectfully] I did it like this.

[Explaining again] It's not that I followed him.

I just went because I liked the place.

[Not following] So that's why you switched salons?

[just liked it better] Yes.

I see.

[A good person appears] It was also the first time

I worked on a project with Kwang Soo.

[In The Divorce Insurance] That's true.

[First time acting together] We've

known each other well for a long time.

[2021 film] It's the first time since A YEAR-END MEDLEY.

[Well acquainted] But we didn't have any scenes together

[No shared scenes in that project] A YEAR-END MEDLEY.

This was our first time actually acting together

and I was curious how it'd go but Kwang Soo made it really easy.

It's comfortable when Kwang Soo's around.

Kwang Soo keeps

the younger actors in line.

[Please note fake news may appear] In line…

[Viewer discretion advised] Instead of saying it like that…

I just sit there smiling.

[Dong Wook on set] "Ha ha."

Dong Wook always

[Typical Dong Wook] starts promoting

[Starts promo six months early] his projects six months in advance.

- From when they start filming! - From filming.

[December 2024] We've actually been subtly promoting

[Mentioned during Pinggyego awards] since the Pinggyego awards.

- We have. - Yeah.

[When does it air?] When does The Divorce Insurance start?

[tvN The Divorce Insurance premieres March 31] March 31.

[Mon, Tue, 8:50 p.m.] It's coming up soon.

[Guaranteed wholesome office rom-com] It airs Monday and Tuesday.

- Monday and Tuesday. - 8:50 p.m.

- Finally, March 31. - That's right.

Where does it air?

On tvN.

tvN?

Oh wow, Kwang Soo, tvN…

[2025 tvN Green Bean, Red Bean] Why?

[2023 tvN Green Bean, Red Bean spin-off] He's practically tvN's son.

What about tvN?

- You're on there a lot. - A lot.

[Ready to tease]

Kwang Soo's been in Green Bean, Red Bean

- Stop talking about that. - Of course.

[Even his outfit matches the tvN logo color] GBRB spin-off, The Divorce Insurance…

So that's why you've only been

- on here three times? - No, no.

[Grape sticker controversy reignites] Look at that grape sticker.

No, no, please call me.

I'm really upset because of that grape.

Dong Wook! You've been on eight times.

But to be fair, Dong Wook might have been on a bit too much.

[Dong Wook spots something] Three times…

[Even more shocking] What's 91 times?

I mean…

- The ones I kept appearing in. Me! Me! - He's in all of them.

[Taking the chance] But why are you marking your own stuff like that?

Exactly.

[Please answer] Who appears in 91 times?

[Stunned "Who"] It's his own show.

- Because it's his. - I'm in it!

- Jae Seok should be in all 91 episodes. - You can skip one.

I…

[Losing it] What are you talking about?

It's Jae Seok's show.

He's flipping my insides again.

[Flipping his insides] If I'm not on Pinggyego

[Checking out the rest of the grapes] does that make sense?

Wow… I've been on eight times. Why so many?

Yeah.

- But look at Kwang Soo's. - Look at his.

[Empty] Only three grapes.

You've shown up way too little

for your social position.

[Former ally becomes enemy] What do you mean by position?

[Right on cue] Compared to your friendships and position!

I get the friendship part

but what do you mean social position?

- Way too little. - Yeah.

- Apologize, apologize. - Kwang Soo.

Yeah, you should apologize.

- I'm sorry, I really am. - Good, good.

I mean

- call me. - Your agency is

right next door

but you go to PD Na Young Suk's office

- and even cook for him. - Yeah.

Hahaha.

- I only go there when I'm working. - A pickaxe.

[Got a pickaxe] Hitting thighs like a pickaxe.

I only go when I'm working too.

When did I ever cook there?

[Slide] Be polite, polite.

[Pretends to stop him after it's all said] I was being polite like this.

He already did it all.

[LOL] After you saw everything.

Look at him

[Annoyed / Has something to say] sticking out his front teeth again while laughing.

On set, when Kwang Soo's saying stuff I just sit next to him and laugh.

[Warm smile]

[For example, on set] When I tease

[When joking with colleagues] Lee Da Hee a lot

once it's all done, Dong Wook goes

"Kwang Soo, stop it."

[Enjoys it all, then scolds after] He laughs and enjoys it all first.

[Both born in 1985] Lee Da Hee's your friend, right?

[Actress Lee Da Hee] Yes.

- That's right. - Yeah, yeah.

- They bicker a lot. - I see.

They're friends, same age and all.

I always tell them

not to fight and get along nicely as friends.

- He really says that often… - Like an adult.

[The adult, four years older]

I just sit there like a dad at a school play.

But at KINGKONG by Starship Ent.

you don't cook, yet you cook at someone else's agency?

[Back to food again] I'm

[Rolling up tissue] not a chef, you know.

No, I mean…

He cooks really hard, though.

The nose!

- Why are you talking with something in your nose? - What…

Maybe Dong Wook feels

really comfortable here now.

[Visits every Seollal, 1st Gyewon to use coupons] He's been here eight times.

[Won grand prize, best drama and popularity award in 2023 awards]

[Won best drama and presented grand prize in 2024 awards]

- He practically owns a piece of this place. - It's just

- the temperature swing. - That

tissue's way too big for your nose!

- Did he roll it too big? - That tissue's huge!

My nose is big.

- It's the temperature swing. - That happens.

[Explanation: When temperatures change rapidly] It's a big temperature swing.

[To adapt to the change] He's got class

[the nasal membrane produces mucus] this guy.

- Everyone - It's not because of the mucus.

with the fine dust and yellow dust

- make sure you wear masks. - Right, wear your masks.

[Missed during the teasing] So we got cut off earlier.

[The Divorce Insurance plot] In The Divorce Insurance, do you play an employee?

It's not about insurance salespeople.

It's about the people who create the insurance plans.

So they're making this divorce insurance.

Insurance companies

- really do make products like that. - Like policy terms?

[Dong Wook, Joo Been, Kwang Soo, Da Hee] It's about the Product Innovation Development Team

[Story of the Product Innovation Development Team] members who develop insurance products.

Sounds fun.

I heard Kwang Soo plays

- the brainy character? - Yes!

[The smartest of the smart] Kwang Soo plays the smartest role.

I'm making it together.

- Really? - I'm a risk surveyor

someone who minimizes risk.

- Oh… - Oh…

[Risk Surveyor] So for something like that

[Analyzes and predicts risk factors] being a risk surveyor

[Suggests preventative measures for accidents] you'd need to calculate probabilities and

- be good at math, right? - Right, right.

- Oh… - Yeah, yeah.

- Oh, mathematical skills. - That's right, that's right.

[Emotional] Why?

Why are you looking at me?

Why?

No, I mean…

Be polite, polite.

You both had the same mouth shape!

[Pressure]

It's that mouth shape I really hate

twitching from both sides at once!

It did feel like that.

Like when you're having sleep paralysis and you see those eyes and lips.

Your mouths looked just like that.

That's true.

[They do have similar mouths] The oral structure.

- Our mouths kinda stick out. - A bit, yeah

- can't help it. - It's the lips, don't get the wrong idea.

So we play people who create insurance.

Kwang Soo is the risk surveyor

and I'm an actuary.

[Calculates and creates insurance products] As the actuary, I'm the one

who first comes up with the idea for the divorce insurance.

[Seems uninterested but explains clearly]

- So you're the planner - Yes.

the one who writes up the proposal.

And Lee Joo Been plays

the underwriter who writes the policy terms.

[All falling into place] That sounds tough.

Lee Da Hee plays a quant

someone who helps with the mathematical side by calculating probabilities.

So are there love lines in the story too?

Oh, for sure.

- There are? - Of course.

[Glance to Kwang Soo]

It's basically a romantic comedy.

It's a romantic comedy? Sounds fun.

What does Chang Hee play? Chang Hee?

Chang Hee's a sales rep, the insurance king!

[Nam Chang Hee appears as the top-selling insurance agent]

- Chang Hee? - The top seller.

Then does he sit in the same office as you guys?

Ah, not exactly.

Chang Hee works outside.

- He has to be in the office to keep appearing. - Right.

[Too bad] So he's a field sales rep.

We also have Kim Won Hae in our team.

[Reliable actor Kim Won Hae] Won Hae.

[Plays the team leader, a former insurance king] He's our team leader. And

actress EXY from WJSN is in it too.

[Six members form the team] Together.

- So that's the team. - Yes, that's our team.

- Nice. - Yeah.

So…

Should we go now?

[Mission complete]

- Why are you leaving? - Time to wrap it up.

- We're done here. - That's so obvious.

- We said everything we needed to say! - Oh…

Man, that promo was perfect.

[Flawless promotion] Got it all out.

That was the full promo.

- Wow… but still. - Should we go?

You're so good at organizing your points and delivering them.

[Impressed with the clear structure] He nailed it and

wrapped it all up with "Should we go?"

Kwang Soo, say a few words of determination.

Determination?

Like… today?

[Anything works] Whether it's today or life in general.

[Help] Isn't Kwang Soo

turning 40 this year?

[39~41] 41.

[38~40] I turned 40 already.

Oh wow… How are you 40 already…

I'm 40.

[Little brothers we met in their twenties] I was 26

[Now they're over 40…] when I first met you.

- That was when Se Chan… - When I first saw Kwang Soo

[MBC] on Come to Play

- he was 26… - That's right.

[Can't believe how fast time flew]

- And now you're 41. - Exactly.

[2010] So you first met on Come to Play?

We met in the bathroom.

- At the MBC bathroom. - When Kwang Soo was filming a sitcom

[Mosquito dance] it was the same day as my shoot.

[Their schedules overlapped by chance] It was the same recording day.

Jae Seok came to film Infinite Challenge at the MBC set

[Jae Seok and Kwang Soo's first real encounter] and I was filming

[vividly remembered] High Kick Through the Roof.

- When you had the beard? - Yeah, with the beard.

I went to the bathroom and

Jae Seok walked in with others.

[(Gasp) Yu Jae Seok!] I was shocked.

My heart was racing, and he went

[He greeted him first by name] "Hey, Kwang Soo!"

- By name? - Yeah!

- Yeah. - I already knew his name.

[Heart, stay calm] Jae Seok is always so kind like that.

- He calls everyone by name, all of them. - He knows them all.

Back then, people didn't really know me.

Jae Seok watches 16 hours of TV a day so he knows every name.

- He even reads the newspaper! - They say he has 20 TVs at home.

Hey!

[Fake news with a mix of truth (newspaper)] He's got 20 TVs.

[and fiction (the rest)] He actually reads printed newspapers.

- That's true. - Yeah.

Kwang Soo was really famous for that back then, from that commercial!

[Kwang Soo's 2008 TV debut] The telecom ad.

[Star of the telecom CF A girl from Engineering] But anyway

since he called me by name

- and even used casual speech - That's right.

- in a friendly way - That's right.

- wow… From that moment - Like a neighborhood.

my self-esteem shot up.

[An unforgettable moment for Kwang Soo] That's when I truly felt like a celebrity.

Oh, right.

Since we're on the topic this is always something I think about.

[To a junior and younger colleague he just met] When it's someone younger and junior

[He speaks casually with warmth] but I've just met them, should I say friendly

[Or politely with respect] like "Kwang Soo" like you did

- or use polite speech at first? - Polite form?

- It's such a gray area for me. - That really depends on the case.

Some people…

- Like… - What kind?

What kind?

[Maybe] Weaklings?

- No need to decide that firmly… - Did you say weaklings?

[Flutter] Hey.

- Weaklings? - No need, no need.

- Just now. - Be polite.

- What is wrong with him today? - Wait.

Didn't you hear me say I'm 41 earlier?

- I'm 40 too. - Haha.

Let's not try to define people like that.

But people with that kind of vibe seem like

they'd be okay with it if you approach them

- casually. - Like patting them on the back.

[Soothing this type of person] That kind of person.

But sometimes

[Sometimes it's hard to use casual speech] it feels a bit risky.

You never know how they'll take it, so in those cases

[Depending on the situation] I usually just go with "Nice to meet you"

[Polite form is often the safer option] and use polite speech.

But when someone kind of gives off the same vibe as us…

[Gulp] Just a brother.

That kind of vibe!

Like someone with a strong variety personality.

First of all, they should look like they can't fight, right?

- They should look like they can't. - They absolutely

[Loses ability to speak] shouldn't be punching

[Teasing that type of person] or touching me.

As long as they feel like someone I can connect with briefly, that's good enough.

Who throws punches just because you spoke casually?

[Soft pat and wraps up the topic] I mean, Kwang Soo is friendly.

- I always get confused about that. - It is confusing.

- Of course it is. - I don't know

how the other person will take it.

[When using polite speech] I worry that

maybe they'll feel

- a sense of distance. - Right, right.

[When using casual speech] If I use casual speech, I worry they'll think

[They might feel] Too impolite?

[disrespected] "Why are you speaking casually?"

- or feel it's rude. - That can happen.

As I become more senior

- it becomes a real concern. - It's tough.

- And there's this too. - What?

Even for the person hearing it

[Some casual speech feels friendly] there's casual speech that feels warm and nice.

It's not the kind that feels rude.

Exactly, exactly, exactly.

- Like the nuance of the words. - There's a warmth in the way it's said.

If the tone feels warm, casual speech can actually feel really comforting

but if it comes off as rude it just feels unpleasant.

[Se Chan's dilemma continues] What about this? Let's say

we've been talking, both using polite speech.

But since I'm older

[To a younger junior you've gotten to know] should I be the one to say, "I'll speak casually"

[The older one initiates casual speech] or should the younger one

[Or the younger one invites it first] be the first to say

"Feel free to speak casually"?

[The younger one first] Isn't it better?

- First? - But even this!

- This depends on the situation too. - Ugh, yeah

this is tricky too.

[The next issue causes audio chaos] These kinds of situations keep increasing.

- It's so complicated. - It keeps happening

- and I get confused too. - It's hard these days.

[Younger one] Even if one person says, "Speak casually"

[Older one] the other reply, "I'm more comfortable like this"

[Fully immersed] and then that's it.

[It gets awkward from there] Once that happens, I end up not talking much.

- Right, it just ends there. - Exactly.

[Mutual politeness can sometimes create distance] I really have to read the room.

Yeah, you need to get a feel for it.

[Best to switch naturally] If you see each other a lot, it naturally becomes

[after seeing each other often] okay to say, "Can I speak casually?"

Se Chan, you've got more juniors now too, right?

[As time goes on, juniors increase] I've got a lot now.

I've got more juniors

if they're fellow comedians and

I know they're younger than me I just speak casually.

But if they're not comedians even if they're younger

[Respectful] I usually just say "Hello"

and keep it polite.

[There's no one right answer] That's just how it ends up.

It's tough.

- Really tough. - Not easy.

It's hard even when you're young

but as you get older, it gets even more

- complicated. - That's right.

Dong Wook, what's been the hardest thing for you lately?

[Things you feel more as you age] For me, it's really like

what you mentioned earlier.

I debuted when I was 19, so back then

I was always the youngest on set.

Everyone was just hyung, noona, seniors

who looked after me, loved me

and all I had to do was follow their lead.

But now, wherever I go, I'm usually the senior

and I have to lead from the front

so there's a lot more to take care of.

And like we talked about earlier

[Going through many subtle changes] I really think about how to handle titles and

- So you're unsure what to do. - forms of address.

Honestly

it's easier for me to just call Director Lee Won Seok

"hyung" or "director"

and keep it simple.

[Younger ones are harder to approach] It's harder dealing with juniors, right?

Yes, it is.

[Agreed] That's something I feel.

What's been hard for you, Kwang Soo?

Honestly

I don't think much has changed for me.

- Mm. - Well…

I still like

- hyungs anyway. - Mm, mm, mm.

I usually get along well with them.

Uh… I don't think you understood the question.

[What are you even talking about?]

[Munching snacks] Dong Wook

[Grabs him]

answered that really well.

Just let it go.

- Why are you picking at it? - I mean…

You could've just moved on naturally!

- But he gave such a weird answer… - Honestly

yeah, I didn't really get the question.

- It was a weird answer. - Why point it out?

I just remembered something! I just remembered now. Can I try again?

[Earned another chance the hard way] Go ahead, go ahead.

I think what's hard for me is this.

Like, let's say I've met someone before.

Someone who was a guest on Running Man, for example.

Then I run into them again after a long time.

Should I use polite speech

- Speak casually again? - or go back to casual?

- Back then I definitely used casual speech. - Right, right.

- Enough time has passed - Right.

- and I remember back then - Right.

so I say, "Hey, how've you been?"

[Side glance] like that…

This answer's correct, right?

[Trying to win over the staff] This is right, isn't it?

Isn't that the gist of the question?

- That kind of thing is tricky. - It's close enough, close enough.

[Quick grab] That's not it.

Or was it "what gets harder as you age"?

[Happy tapping] Let's just move on this time!

Let's just move on from this one.

[We're moving on from Kwang Soo] Should we skip this topic?

We need to move past this one.

Se Chan, what's something that gets harder with age?

What gets harder with age

[I'm watching] is my position.

[Wants to tease] My position…

Look at those two.

[Predator faces eyeing prey] The moment

I say anything, they've got that

"Say one word

and you're done" look.

- Go ahead, go ahead! - Why are you glaring?

[Grr!] How can I talk when you're staring like that?

- Why are you staring? - So what about your position?

[Late mediator] Hear him out, hear him out.

[Always late to mediate] Coming in after everything again.

- Go ahead, go ahead. - It's like

I used to do certain things and people let it slide

but now that I'm older, some of those actions

make others uncomfortable.

[Understood] You wonder if you should still act like that.

[Following the flow] It used to be normal for you.

I still feel like

I haven't aged.

[Age changes] I feel like I'm in my twenties living the same.

[and so must I] Yeah, I get that.

but others

[Still following the flow…] around me

change.

But I think

everyone feels like that, honestly…

In your heart, you still feel like you're in your twenties.

Right.

That's why

- I think like this. - Yeah.

[Lee Dong Wook] We never actually grow up.

We just pretend we have.

Think about it. You can't live your whole life as if you're in your early twenties.

True.

Society expects certain things from you at certain ages.

So acting accordingly is just pretending to be mature, isn't it?

Pretending, huh.

- I haven't really matured. - Right.

When you're alone at home

[You can do whatever when you're alone] it doesn't matter.

But still

acting according to what society expects of your age group

feels like a social responsibility.

These are

those familiar phrases you hear.

Like, "Age is just a number," or

- "We're forever young!" - Right.

- "Let's live with that mindset!" - Right.

But in reality

people will still say you should act your age.

They'll say you're being immature.

- "Act your age." - "Act your age."

- That you should act more mature. - They'll say you're immature.

When you hear that stuff, it stings a bit.

- Like, "Dress more properly." - Yeah.

Right! I've got one.

[On board the aging talk train] When it comes to clothes.

Right?

- Because I really like flashy stuff - That's true.

- animal prints and that kind of thing. - Kwang Soo likes flashy stuff.

[Before heading out, when he looks in the mirror] I get dressed and check the mirror

and I start wondering

[He starts to worry about those things] "Will people think this looks okay?"

- That happens. - Right.

Kwang Soo really likes

- flashy sneakers too. - Yeah, yeah.

- Last time you wore those shark shoes. - Yeah, yeah.

He showed up in Hulk feet recently.

[Another witness of the Hulk] Right, that one!

[Photo provided by Lee Kwang Soo himself] Hulk feet?

He wore shoes that looked like Hulk's feet.

I really like that stuff.

I walked into the gym and saw these Hulk feet.

[Gyeju had a feeling it was Kwang Soo's] So I just had a feeling it was Kwang Soo.

I was like

"Should I wear these home?"

[Held back] Why would you wear Hulk feet home?

He always thinks like that first.

[Planning to tease] He always thinks like that first.

[Anyway, Kwang Soo] So Kwang Soo has always

- had his own fashion style - Fashion, yeah.

and preferences.

He used to

not care at all, but now he's starting to

- worry a bit. - That's right.

It does bother him.

It's hard.

You can't completely ignore how people look at you.

- We live in a society. - That's true.

But at the same time

- you can't let the gap between - Inside, that's not how you feel.

what you want and how others perceive you get too wide.

- That's right. - Yeah.

That part is definitely hard.

Kwang Soo and I talk on the phone a lot

now that we're in our 40s the conversations have changed.

- How have they changed? - Yeah…

Aging.

[New topic: Physical signs of aging] You know what I mean?

[Dong Wook wants more details] I called Kwang Soo and he said

"Hey, Se Chan," and I go

"How are you doing these days, physically?"

and "Doesn't feel like it used to, right?" and then I go

[Cautiously] "I've been finding white hairs

in strange places lately."

[Eyes getting teary…] And Kwang Soo says

"Me too, it's driving me crazy."

[Two aging men finding common ground] I'm getting white hairs in weird places now.

- That's a longevity hair, longevity hair. - I'm like, "What is this?"

Long ones!

- Yes! - Yeah, yeah!

These long hairs just start popping up.

Kwang Soo and I talk about that stuff now.

- Kwang Soo always - We talk about aging.

[On Running Man, Kwang Soo] said to Seok Jin

[used to tease Seok Jin with this] on Running Man

- Exactly. - "Oh! Oh… What's this?"

[Watching closely]

- Exactly! - "Oh! Longevity hair!"

"Don't pull it out!"

- Why, do you die if you pull it? - "If you pull this, you die!"

"Don't even go near it!"

[But now…] That's what he used to say.

And now Kwang Soo and I are having those conversations.

Right.

Once you pass your mid-thirties that kind of stuff starts happening.

[Suddenly facing strange things in your body] It really catches you off guard.

- Bruises don't fade as quickly either. - Yeah.

[Another example] You take a shower and dry off

[After drying off with a towel post-shower] and there's this white hair on you.

Right.

[In denial] "Is it from the towel?"

- Right! - Right.

[It's funny but kind of sad] Right.

Towel.

[Dong Wook starts checking himself too] Towel hair, look, even he's checking now.

- You have them too. 100 percent you do. - He's checking himself right now.

[Another example: While getting makeup done] I'm getting my makeup done and they say

[Hair&Makeup artist] "Oh? There's something here."

[It's not dirt, it grew]

And they pull something off, yeah.

It's something they pluck.

- Not dust, but hair? - A longevity hair, a longevity hair…

[Can't believe this is real] A longevity hair.

I can't really relate, honestly.

You don't get that stuff?

Not yet… Yes.

Want to go to the other room and check?

Hahaha.

- Should we help check your back real quick? - Hahaha.

I mean, there's no way to prove it anyway, so I'm just saying.

Longevity hair isn't a bad thing, right?

[Now curious] Longevity hair?

[What it means and where it comes from] It's not bad.

- Why does it grow though? - Yeah, why does it grow?

[Simple] Isn't it just called that?

Like the ones that grow near the ears?

[It's due to aging, hormonal changes] I guess there's something like that going on.

[Thought to be caused by genetic factors, too] Seems like it's just one of the natural signs

- of aging. - Right.

And the fact that it's called "longevity hair"

probably means it's definitely age-related.

[Obvious statement] Of course.

You have to live long enough for those to show up.

[Closest to the correct answer] That's why they call them longevity hairs.

Back in

the Joseon Dynasty, the average life expectancy was really short, right? Around the forties.

That's why they used to celebrate 60th birthdays in such a big way.

Because living that long was a huge deal.

[Ask Yu Jae Seok anything] The average age of

kings in the Joseon Dynasty was mid-forties.

[Joseon-era kings' average life expectancy] The average life expectancy.

[46 years old] That's really young.

So life expectancy

- really has gone up a lot now. - Yeah, a lot.

[Thinking it over…] That means, if it were back then

we'd be on our way out soon.

You guys wouldn't even be around.

[That's true…] Right? If it were back then.

- You'd already be gone. - That's true.

- We'd be long gone. - Well, I mean, I still…

Yeah, yeah.

[He's a low battery…] We'd be barely hanging on.

Probably counting our last days.

- You and me… - Counting our last days.

- You and I would've been getting ready to go. - I'd probably be…

- Long gone. - Not even here.

[Power Off] You wouldn't be around.

- Gone. - Wouldn't exist.

Dong Wook would have a towel on his forehead.

If it were back then.

Lying there with eyes closed going

"Oh… is that you, Se Chan…"

Then I'd be like, "Brother! Se Chan is here!"

So how are you these days, Kwang Soo?

- I'm filming The Divorce Insurance these days. - And?

[Knows Kwang Soo well] Aren't you doing another project too?

Oh! Is something else starting soon?

- No, he's filming two at the same time right now. - He's doing two.

Kwang Soo's busy.

- He's busy. - What happened

- Kwang Soo? - Why are you so surprised?

We were filming The Divorce Insurance together until midnight last night

and then came here this morning

and tonight Kwang Soo has to go film a different drama.

That's because the Divorce Insurance team is adjusting the schedule

- a lot for him. - They're working around it.

[Thankfully, they're helping with the schedule] They said to come right after

- wrapping Divorce Insurance. - You're busy.

[Praising Kwang Soo] He's top pick right now.

[Top pick for casting] Kwang Soo's really

[Kwang Soo's growing popularity as an actor] solidifying his position.

Of course.

Who's in that other project with you?

[Flinches]

People might get the wrong idea but…

Um…

[D…]

[D…]

I'm working with D.O.

[Immediate suspicion / Gotcha!]

[Caught something big, happiness through the roof] No, no, seriously, it's not like that.

- Come on! Are you kidding me! - Gotcha, gotcha!

- Gotcha! - That

- makes no sense! - Kwang Soo is the number one pick for casting.

[Okay] D.O. comes before number one.

No, no, that doesn't make any sense!

[When it gets tough, appeal to the staff] That has nothing to do with it, absolutely.

[No one's listening] Enough!

- It has nothing to do with it! - That's it.

- All the pieces… - The pieces are falling into place!

No, no.

[Upset] Why'd you even bring up D.O.?

You could've said someone else.

[Too late] Ji Chang Wook! Ji Chang Wook!

Right

[Getting hit from both sides] you should've said that.

- Fine, fine. - You brought up D.O. and now…

- Okay, let's just stop there! - It's totally unrelated.

No, no.

Hey, why are you laughing?

[Staff targeted] No, it's not that.

Don't get the wrong idea.

[Protecting the DdeunDdeun family] Saying "Why are you laughing?" to the PD?

[Protecting the SsookSsook family] It could happen.

[Joking] Sorry, sorry, sorry.

- No. - Be polite, be polite!

- Why are you like this today… - Be polite.

[Policing Kwang Soo's mood today] Be polite.

- What's up with you today. - That's the PD, the PD.

For D.O.!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

[Just going with it] Why are we saying "Cheers to D.O."?

No, really, it's not like that.

This is hilarious.

But still, that's great.

[Joking ends, proud of busy Kwang Soo] It's just nice seeing Kwang Soo working so much

same with Dong Wook. Makes me happy

- to see the younger guys doing well. - It's great.

Kwang Soo and Sae Ho

having someone they can trust and rely on like that is a really good thing.

Totally.

- Kwang Soo relies on D.O. - Right.

- Who does Sae Ho have? - Sae Ho leans on GD.

Right, right.

- What's that got to do with anything… - It's just nice, that's all.

I mean it!

[Calmly driving people nuts] It's good to have someone you trust and lean on.

- You're seriously - Why are we talking about Sae Ho and GD…

the best at driving people nuts.

[Congrats / Grand Prize] It's good, right? Being close is nice.

- I mean… - Just leave everything to the younger ones.

- It is nice being close. - Get along well.

Let's move on…

[Yeah, okay…]

Sae Ho has been super busy lately.

- He really is… - Yeah.

[Still uploads everything] Even though he's so busy

[Constant SNS updates despite the busy schedule] he keeps updating his SNS.

- He's really busy. - He posts a lot.

Don't you do SNS, Kwang Soo?

I do.

But he's not the type to upload often or anything.

You're not really into that stuff, right?

[Nods] You're not exactly active about it.

What's the most recent thing you posted?

I posted about

Green Bean, Red Bean spin-off…

[As of the shoot, most recent upload]

[Bringing that up again]

- I'll post soon… - Post today's stuff.

Yeah, post today's stuff.

- Hey, but… - Post those three grape stickers.

But didn't they release a bunch of posters for The Divorce Insurance

and you didn't post even one?

I was going to post when it airs.

[Current Dong Wook SNS feed] I was waiting until it gets closer to the date.

On the 31st?

It already got here.

- You should've posted the poster earlier… - Planning to post on the 31st?

[Kwang Soo finally starting to update] Time to start now.

Yeah, do that at least.

Post the three grape bunches and we can talk about it.

[Ends with grapes, all logic lost] Haha.

[I'm serious] I'll send you

[Sniff]

some grapes this grape season.

If you were to use SNS…

[Gyeju doesn't use SNS at all] You don't now, right?

I don't.

If you had to

which one would you use?

- If I absolutely had to? - If you did?

- Instagram. - Insta?

More people use Instagram, don't they?

[Episode 4 of Sixth Sense: City Tour] Recently, on Sixth Sense: City Tour, they made me

[Extra story from not having SNS] do penalty. I had to send something to Kwang Soo.

[Penalty Jae Seok got stuck with] A text?

Yeah, a text.

Usually

the penalty is to post a sentimental message on SNS

but since I don't use SNS

[Instead of posting something emotional] they told me to send it

[Penalty: Send an emotional message via text] to friends by text.

So I was thinking whether I should send it to Dong Wook

- or Seok Jin or Se Chan. - You should've sent it to me.

[Why he didn't] Because I figured Dong Wook would

- Sentimentally. - reply in a sentimental way.

- He's that type, for real. - He replies very sentimentally.

And he replies super fast!

[Soft little brother, missed opportunity] That's how he is.

So

[Eventually picked Kwang Soo] I sent it to Kwang Soo, after thinking it over.

[Kwang Soo received the emotional text] Kwang Soo said it came up on the show briefly

but he thought it was voice phishing.

- It was just so weird… - It came out of nowhere.

- Yeah, that's totally suspicious. - Totally suspicious.

- Totally suspicious. - It was a first.

[Exactly!] Like

"Kwang Soo, it's already been so many years since we met…"

"I really miss you…"

- That makes no sense! - Yeah, that's suspicious.

[Kwang Soo was really startled by the message] You probably thought he got hacked.

And he replied with "LOL" then

said he got really scared.

I was so confused.

- People get freaked out by stuff like that. - Right.

I heard they even fake voices now.

So he didn't call me back.

So I called him and explained.

[Explained after 24 hours of penalty] Told him it was a penalty.

Just in case calling back might

- leak some personal info? - Yeah, or they'd charge money.

[Why he didn't call back, now revealed] You were afraid it'd cost money?

It gets charged

right away?

- Just from hitting call? - The world's scary.

I never know, my money might

just vanish.

That's why you didn't call back?

[Just in case] You never know.

[Too suspicious not to question it] It was way too weird.

Had to be cautious.

Yeah, you have to be cautious.

- They steal all your info! - Exactly.

[A world where even what you see and hear] It's a really scary world now.

[can't be trusted] AI can do everything.

- Everything, really. - Seriously.

Dong Wook, are you doing anything besides working out these days?

Just filming.

[Busy with filming] The shoot's in its final stages

[like Kwang Soo] so my schedule's packed.

[Workaholic worried for another workaholic] He's really… Seriously…

- You too… - Well.

[Sudden reminder] Oh right. Not long ago, Jae Seok sent

[Gyeju kept his snack truck promise] a snack truck to our set.

- That's right. - It was…

[Bragging about the snack truck] From the beginning.

[They didn't shoot on the same day] The three of you

[No scene with Chang Hee] didn't really have

[Gyeju's slight regret] scenes together.

[Sent pictures to Chang Hee] We took pics and sent them to Chang Hee.

Right.

[Showed Kwang Soo again too]

That must've felt good!

[Allergic to compliments] Why would that feel good?

[And to Gyewon] Of course it did.

- The staff went nuts, seriously. - I should've sent one

- to Dong Wook and Kwang Soo. - I'll send that over later.

[Pinggyego]

[Kwang Soo's resume rundown] Kwang Soo started out as a fashion model

and then moved into commercials.

[Model debut, telecom commercial] He started doing commercials.

[Sitcom Here He Comes] And he did a sitcom too.

[Children's theater] Before that, I did a stint in children's theater.

Was that sitcom

[First TV acting debut] basically your acting debut on TV?

[Aired in 2008] There was a sitcom called Here He Comes.

It aired on MBC.

[Next was High Kick Through The Roof] So Kwang Soo did a lot of sitcoms.

You did children's theater?

- Yes, I did children's theater. - What did you do?

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Wait, were you the scarecrow?

- The giant? - The can?

[Correct] The scarecrow…

[Played the scarecrow with no brain] The scarecrow.

Scarecrow for the giant scarecrow.

Ah, that really suits Kwang Soo!

What are you talking about, giant and can?

No idea haha.

- Are you talking about the tin man? - Yeah, yeah.

- You mean the wizard? - Yeah.

[Tin man without a heart] You should say the wizard and the tin man.

[Big floating head Wizard of Oz] What's with the giant and the can?

There's no giant in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

[Avoids eye contact] It's basically the same.

[Correction] It's not a giant, it's just a big head thing.

Close enough. Same vibe.

Tin robot.

- The scarecrow fits Kwang Soo perfectly. - Tin man, tin man…

[Chaos to shock the Wicked Witch of the West] You seem like you'd play the giant in a play.

Yeah.

So how long did you do it? How long were you doing children's theater?

- I think for about a year. - Oh? That's pretty long.

- Oh, you really did it for a while. - Yeah. I traveled around doing it.

[Scarecrow touring nationwide for about a year] You traveled nationwide?

Yeah, yeah.

- Only The Wonderful Wizard of Oz for a year? - Yes.

So did you audition for the scarecrow role?

[Around age 20] Yeah, I was preparing for college auditions.

I thought I knew everything about Kwang Soo

but I never knew this children's theater story.

I told you… I told you this a lot.

You did?

I told you this a lot.

[Runs off]

[Feigns distraction] What do you mean it's the first time?

I told you this like four times.

Jae Seok meets a lot of people.

[Knock knock] Yeah! He can't remember everything.

You only care about your three grape stickers.

If you

- had four - Why are you bringing up grape stickers now?

- I would've remembered! - Right.

Huh?

- Wow, this misutgaru is good. - What's that got to do with grape stickers?

[Look at the grape stickers!] Why didn't you talk about the children's play!

[You never talked about this on Pinggyego!] I told you

four or five times elsewhere.

Probably while I was doing something else, huh?

[Tap tap tap tap!]

What do you mean doing something else? We were sitting just like this talking!

Who dips snacks into misutgaru like that?

[Dipping cookies in misutgaru] Is that misutgaru?

Or is it grain latte?

[Tease mode ON] You're

acting like it's hot coffee. You're embarrassed, aren't you?

[Se Chan mode ON] I thought it was coffee.

- I must've been really flustered! - Exactly.

You were embarrassed.

- Who dips White Heim in misutgaru… - Come on! Why are you digging into that?

[Tease mode engaged] Why would you bring that up?

I thought it was coffee.

Look over there, doesn't that look like a closed outlet store?

[Closed]

What are you

gonna do with that? You just live like this?

[Outlet dark after awards ceremony] They're just leaving it

[Sudden concern for the space] like that.

[Thinking about how to use it] It's a waste. That space costs money.

Can't you turn it into a studio or something?

- Here? - Yeah, just here.

It's too small for that.

[Responsible Gyewon] Can't you just set up a backdrop

[with owner-like mindset] and stuff?

Actually

I think Pinggyego is great because of this.

- It feels familiar. - Right, that vibe.

- If it turned into a studio, it might feel weird. - Yeah.

Now that I think about it

I think I come here to Antenna Plus more than

- my KINGKONG office. - You probably do.

- You probably do. - Yeah.

- You have eight grape stickers! - Eight.

- Including today's, that's eight? - Then it's nine.

[Seriously counting the grape stickers] It's eight including today.

We're not counting the awards show so technically it's ten.

- So ten! Dong Wook's been on ten times. - That's ten!

- I've been on ten times! - Then Kwang Soo

has three including today? No, right?

[Serious reflection on sticker count] With the awards show, it's four

but we're not counting that.

[Strict with himself] We're not counting the awards show.

But you…

- this might - Just come back next week!

stir some controversy.

That's a bit much.

[Upset]

I mean…

- Just show up while we're filming next week. - I'll come if you call…

[Carefully watching] I'll call you. We have to check our schedule too.

But you know Jae Seok's just gonna call me randomly.

[Rising foresight] He really will.

- "Yeah, come now." - "Kwang Soo, what are you doing?"

"Okay, see you later."

[No denial] Now's exactly the time for that.

Kwang Soo was on Pinggyego for episode 2, right? Or was it episode 3?

Episode 1!

- No, no. Episode 1 was Seok Jin. - Episode 4? Episode 4?

Oh right, Kwang Soo was on episode 4. The one you filmed outside.

[Park name] Montmartre Park!

[Early Pinggyego episode] So Seok Jin was on episode 1.

[Episode 1 Jee Seok Jin] Yeah.

[Episode 2 Song Eun Yi] Then was Eun Yi episode 2?

- That's right. - Yeah, yeah.

Kwang Soo picked up and ate a chocolate bar at the park.

[A Picnic Was Just an Excuse. Ep.4-1] Someone else's, just lying there on the ground.

[Reference at 27:25] Not exactly lying on the ground

it was someone else's.

[Clarifying again] I thought someone dropped it

as we were changing locations.

[Conclusion] So it was still on the ground.

No, it wasn't really the ground

- it was the grass in the park! - That's

basically the same thing.

Anyway, you picked it up and ate it.

Rather than picked up, I mean…

[Corrected to standard] You picked it up and ate it, you did.

- Picked it up? - I thought it was ours.

[Cracking up] I thought it was ours

and I ate it by accident, by accident.

[Emphasizing it wasn't intentional] By accident.

When I saw Kwang Soo do that I was laughing to myself.

Then a day or two later Jae Seok called me and said

"Dong Wook, come out."

[You're next!]

That's how I got here!

[Ep.6 Lee Dong Wook, Ep.9 Lee Dong Wook] If you hadn't laughed…

That's right.

- "Did you see it?" - "Did you see it?"

"It was funny."

[That's how he eventually ended up here] "Then come on."

[And won the grand prize] "Dong Wook, it's your turn now."

Right.

So we're almost at episode 100?

[Pinggyego 73 + mini Pinggyego 21] We're getting close to episode 100.

[Currently 94 episodes uploaded] What are you doing for the 100th episode?

- Any plans for the 100th? - Haven't thought about it yet.

- The number 100… - When it hits 100…

100 feels different!

- That number 100 hits different. - It does.

It's not like the year-end award show. A 100th episode show is different.

Wait, is it turning into a show?

Oh! Is it a show now? Hold on…

- That just came to mind! - A show…

[Production team in shock] You two looked surprised just now.

A 100th episode show?

- "The 100th show" is what you said. - Things are escalating.

- But 100 episodes… - Gotta create a buzz!

- You need to do a show. - Of course!

[Grand prize winner Gyewon shows interest] So are you going all in for this?

Gotta do something for the 100th show.

You guys should each sing a song too.

- Wait, it's a singing show? - You want us to sing?

[Turning chatter into] You mean a real show?

[concrete plans again today] A real show?

Like Yu Jae Seok's Rainbow?

[Previous case: Suran, Award show] Just do it, Yu Jae Seok's Show…

[Gently pushing from the side, as always] Rainbow.

[Nice] How about Yu Jae Seok's Misutgari?

- That fits, that fits. - Misutgaru.

[Or with a bit more flair] Grain latte.

[Yu Jae Seok's Grain Latte] That sounds classy, grain latte.

[Instead of americano that day] Yu Jae Seok's Grain Latte.

[Everyone sipping grain lattes] Sounds good.

Everyone sings a song.

- Because Kwang Soo sings - Grain latte's good too.

a lot of ballads.

- He's good, he's good. - You like rock ballads, right?

Kwang Soo likes

[Kwang Soo's favorite genre] those emotional, heartbreaking

- rock ballads. - He does.

And when he sings those emotional ballads

he has this thing with his jaw and posture.

- He does, he does. - He does.

He has a comfortable pose when he sings.

That's right.

- That's how I get my voice out! - Exactly.

[Boom] That's a habit!

[If you want to sound cool, call it "voice"] That's what it is, the habit.

[If you want it simple, it's just "habit"] That's what they call it.

You sounded like

a vocal coach just now.

[Cool] "That's how I get my sound out!"

[So happy]

If I don't make that face the sound won't come out.

- It's different! - You have to lift your chin.

What's the angle, where is it?

[Right here] Kind of like this, that…

[Striking the pose] Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, this expression…

You don't know…

[Also has a fixed karaoke seat] So at karaoke

when there's a long C-shaped bench I always sit at the end.

- That side? - You have a fixed spot?

Because only this side should be visible.

Ah, because that's your confident side?

You're the first person to ever see my other side when I sing.

[A rare treat for Gyeju] Normally everyone sits on this side.

So that's the screen.

- Then there's lighting only on this side - Right, right.

- and it's dark on the other. - Right, look.

[Live karaoke seat simulation] When I sit on the C-shaped bench

- I watch them like this. - Sitting like this.

[Only shows his left profile] People here can only see this side.

Kwang Soo's confident side is his left face.

Left side.

This side's a bit weaker but that's the side I saw!

Instead of…

Instead of saying weak

I prefer this side.

Do you prefer your left side too?

[Everyone has their preferred side] I think I do prefer

- Isn't that the case for most people? - my left side.

- Or not? - I prefer my left too.

What about you, Dong Wook?

I don't really have a preference.

I'm shrinking, and honestly

[Haha] we've got

- nothing to say to that. - Seriously, I'm so annoyed.

[Production crew quietly nodding] No words.

- What are you doing, Eun Sol? - Is my left side better?

- Why are you nodding at me? - Look at the camera, look at my camera.

- I… - Look over here.

[Calmly showing both sides] Did I ask your opinion?

I mean, Eun Sol…

- This side. - Dong Wook looks the same on both.

- Must be nice… - Dong Wook just…

- So… - You've lost a lot of weight, Eun Sol.

[From side profiles] You lost a lot of weight.

[to production staff check-ins] Eun Sol?

[Proud on her behalf] Eun Sol owns her place!

- That's right, that's right. - She owns her place.

- She has her own place. - Yeah, yeah.

- Really? - She owns it.

- How? - She saved up diligently.

- Huh? "How" what? - No, I mean, she's young.

How did you do it? Housing subscription?

[Curious about the young homeowner]

Eun Sol's probably the most

relaxed out of everyone here.

[SsookSsook's PD Eun Sol] Even the way she walks is slow and chill.

Very relaxed.

That's why she dyed her hair red!

[Connecting homeownership and hair color] She gets her nails done often too.

[Still buzzing] Her face looks brighter.

She gets her nails done often.

Because you know, when you dye your hair like that, it costs a lot to maintain.

- You know, root touch-ups. - Yeah.

You have to keep dyeing it.

And do a lot of

- treatments. - Gotta keep it up.

[Currently from PD Eun Sol's perspective] The color's different too.

The two-tone faded lightly.

What's up with you guys?

I mean, two-tone is originally…

No, we're just impressed. Like, how could someone that young own a home?

She earned it and spent wisely.

Let's give her a round of applause.

[Perfect gif for celebrations] Seriously, that's amazing.

- That deserves celebration! - It's not easy!

- Self-owned home, Eun Sol. - Of course, of course.

- Right? - Yeah.

Even Kwang Soo doesn't own a home.

- Kwang Soo's house… - I do own.

Do you have a house?

[Quite the roundabout] I live in Jamsil…

[Setting up to tease Kwang Soo] "Does he have a house" was the question.

- A place to live? - Hey.

What kind of question is "does he have a place to live"?

[Pinggyego]

Jae Seok really loves ramyeon.

- He loves all noodles. - And he eats noodles so deliciously!

It's kind of fascinating.

Maybe it's because you usually don't eat much?

- No, he eats ramyeon at home too. - I boil and eat ramyeon at home all the time.

[True noodle lover] I really love ramyeon.

What about you, Kwang Soo? What do you like?

I like sweet stuff, sweets.

[When chatting with close friends] That's true for Kwang Soo.

[You remember things] He likes sweet things, desserts too.

- Chocolate, desserts, that kind of stuff. - Yeah, yeah.

Kwang Soo eats a lot when filming.

And he

always eats his meals properly and well!

He does eat well.

- Eats a lot and eats well. - Right, true.

I love eating.

What about you, Dong Wook?

I'm not picky at all.

[Testimony from a close one] Dong Wook really loves

- eating too. - Really?

Back in the day, watching him eat was intense.

- He holds back. - That's true.

- If you leave him alone - That's true.

it's dangerous! He could balloon up to like 150kg!

- He eats that much? - Yes.

- Dong Wook goes wild for food. - When I was

in the army, I let loose and ate a lot

[He saw it while serving in the military together] and Se Chan said to me

seriously, not joking

"Dong Wook

when you get discharged let's write a comedy sketch together."

I really said that.

"You're not acting anymore, right?"

[That's how much Dong Wook was eating back then] He wasn't managing at all, not like an actor.

But when he eats, he eats so well

and when he doesn't, he can stop?

- You're good at that, controlling it. - Yeah, I can stop if I need to.

[That's actually really hard] Being able to control it is the best.

Se Chan, you also like eating and eat well, right?

Me? Oh, I'm obsessed.

But these days you really can't eat like that.

Yeah, I can't.

If I eat too late

- I feel bloated the next day. - Of course.

[It's not just about discipline anymore it's a condition issue]

- I have to finish eating by around 7 p.m. - Right, right.

- to feel okay in the morning. - Yeah, yeah.

[Can still enjoy breakfast well] That way, when I wake up

I'm hungry and looking forward to breakfast.

Like a kid.

[Time is cruel] Yeah, that's what it's become.

True.

What time do you usually finish

- eating? - Meals?

Around 7 p.m. for me.

- Oh? That's similar. - 7 p.m., that's similar.

I also try to finish eating between 6 and 7.

But I don't go to sleep right after that.

[And that's when the real struggle begins] You can't.

Usually, I stay up until around midnight or 1 a.m.

so I get hungry again.

- That's the hardest time. - Yeah, it's the hardest.

- I end up opening the fridge for no reason. - True.

It's tempting! It really is.

I like hallabong and Redhyang

so I always keep them at home.

- You debate whether to eat one or not. - I go back and forth, should I eat it

then end up just

- Yeah. - chugging water and leaving it.

Right.

[Opening the delivery app right away] I open up the delivery app and

- just browse for no reason. - Same. I do that too.

I add stuff to the cart, then remove it again.

[While browsing restaurants like that] Sometimes I'll think

"Oh? This place is open this late…"

[Another place that delivers late added to the temptation list]

- "They're still delivering at this hour." - We're all the same.

Then I save it to my favorites

- and plan to order from there sometime. - Right, I think, "okay, I'll get this later."

- Ah, seriously… - But then I don't end up ordering.

- And looking at that stuff is kind of fun too. - Then I forget.

[Browsing past order history] You know how they show your most

frequently ordered places.

- Looking at that - Yeah, they do.

I think, "Oh yeah, I used to order from here."

[Missing the taste from those days] "That place was so good."

- "Haven't seen it in a while." - Yeah

- I'll get this next time. - That's nostalgic.

[Added to wishlist] I'll get this next time.

[As always, everyone lives the same life] We're all the same, really.

[Next topic] So

I don't always fall asleep feeling full.

Right.

I go to sleep hungry, and sometimes

I dream about eating.

I dream that I'm eating something

and then I wake up actually feeling full.

[Here comes the skepticism] For real, seriously.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Seriously. - Didn't you just wake up in shock?

- No, no. - You just wake up?

I wake up like, "Whoa, I'm full…"

and then go, "Oh wow, it was a dream!" That's how it happens.

Is that like when you pee in a dream and end up

- actually peeing for real? - No.

- Hahaha. - Just an example, an example!

- When you're a kid. - Is this from your own experience?

- This happened when you were an adult, didn't it? - No, no.

[Not wanting to be part of this convo] Kids make that mistake a lot

when they're young.

[Still suspicious it's a true story] I mean, not as an adult.

- So it is from experience. - You're mixing in

- Kids… - your own story now.

Kids do that a lot when they're young.

Yeah, they do pee in their sleep when they're little.

Dreaming about it…

Now that I hear this I just remembered I had something kind of similar.

[Jae Seok's recent dream story] Recently.

In my dream, I was filming and went to the bathroom.

- No way… - In your dream?

And I was

- trying to pee - Yeah.

but it felt really frustrating!

Oh… because you couldn't pee?

[That unsatisfying, stuck feeling] I couldn't. I was peeing but

it just wasn't relieving.

[Fully intrigued] I kept wondering what was going on

what do I do now…

- Sorry, but - That's a nightmare.

this is a real story.

[The nightmare is real] That's a nightmare.

It's a nightmare.

[Gyeju!] But why are you even talking about this?

I mean, come on…

- It was just a dream! - Yeah, it's a dream.

- It was a dream… - In the dream.

[Continuing the explanation]

- Not real, just a dream! - Please make sure

[Protect Gyeju] the caption says "dream" the whole time!

[Continuing the dream explanation] So I thought. Do I need to go to the hospital?

- What is this, what do I do? - Because it wasn't satisfying?

[In the dream] What's going on.

I'm about to start filming

and I felt like crying!

[Woke up] Then I woke up.

- It turned out - So, did you?

my body was just signaling that I needed to go

[Thankfully, it was just a sign] to the bathroom.

So it was just a signal.

Wow, if it had felt satisfying that would've been really bad.

So I ended up having…

- The moment you felt relief - a very

- you might've really gone. - One more push and it would've been too late.

[A very happy ending!] healthy trip to the bathroom.

That feeling where it keeps itching

- no matter how much you scratch. - Yeah, that kind of feeling!

Yeah, and in dreams, when you run away, you're always so slow.

- Like this. - Yeah, really slow.

[You're always super slow in dreams] I don't know why it's like that.

Oh! And remember people used to say that

if you dream of falling from a high place, it means you'll grow taller.

- A dream that means you'll grow. - Yeah, yeah.

I used to have those dreams until my first or second year of high school

and then at some point

I'd grab onto something while falling

and I didn't grow anymore!

- You stopped? - Yeah, really.

- That's when I reached my current height. - Really?

I'd be falling and then suddenly grab something and survive

- and climb up! - You kept surviving?

Maybe if you let go, you could've gotten taller.

[Believe it or not, a curious dream story] I think I might have.

That's when I stopped growing.

So I started to wonder if that's really how it works.

- That leg twitch you get while sleeping. - Or maybe it just feels that way to me…

[Hypnic jerk before falling asleep] Yeah, yeah.

[That sudden jolt like your body flinching] That's when you really grow a lot.

[Sometimes feels like a dream] I had a lot of those dreams

[Often happens more during growth spurts] during my growth spurt too.

You know, when you sleep at your desk in school

[Got caught sleeping] and it tips over and

- There were lots of kids like that. - the teacher goes, "You, come out."

And there were also kids who farted in their sleep.

[Why is it always going this direction again?] Are you talking about yourself?

- No, no. - Really.

[I relate] But you don't know if you farted while sleeping.

That can't be right.

- But why do your stories always - That happens, it does!

follow mine and turn into pee or fart topics?

No, no.

- I'm not saying it was you. - I can relate.

- I'm saying I remember stuff - Yeah, yeah.

- I'm not saying I did it - from when I was a kid.

why do you keep contaminating my stories?

[Unbearable story contamination] It's not contamination.

[Target Gyewon can't take it anymore] It's just development.

Well…

Did you have a lot of dreams when you were growing too?

You know that feeling when you think

- "This might be a dream"? - Yeah, yeah.

- Do you enjoy it? Do you fly? - Then if I start flapping my arms, I can fly!

So you think, is this a dream?

[Serious] Yeah! Then I realize, "wow, this is a dream!"

and I start flying around.

[An expert lucid dream flyer] Maybe that's why you grew taller.

You didn't fall.

[Just imagining flying Kwang Soo brings joy] You stayed in the air.

- I try flapping like this. - Stayed floating.

I've actually tried that in real life too not just in dreams.

When something totally unrealistic happens, I do it.

Like Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell.

- Like that! - He's Tinker Bell.

[Whenever he suspects he's dreaming] If I start thinking this feels like a dream

[Tinker Bell flaps his wings]

- I try flapping my arms and I start flying. - You fly.

Then I think "Ah, it is a dream," and I fly around.

- This is a first. - I should try that.

- I guess you need to be aware of it. - When I'm not sure

if it's a dream or real

[All you need is willpower and two arms] just try that

[No Inception totem needed] and I'll fly.

Wow, that's impressive. Having that kind of awareness in a dream…

I think it's partly personality too.

Kwang Soo isn't the type to be all impatient and rushed.

- Yeah, he's not like that. - Right.

[Relaxed in real life] Kwang Soo doesn't have that kind of personality.

[It feels like that carries into his dreams too] That's why I think he's more relaxed.

What's Kwang Soo's MBTI?

ISFP.

[ISFP trio] Same as us?

- You're ISFP? - Yeah.

Really?

Why the doubt?

- I said I am. - Why do you hate it?

[Everyone felt a weird tension] Does it have to be something different?

- Why? What is it? - You don't like it?

I mean…

He looked him up and down!

- Why'd you give him that cold stare? - Change it.

[The solution] Change your MBTI.

- What? - Change it.

- What's yours? - I've never done it.

[Never done it and never will] You're not gonna do it?

Why not?

- You said this before. - Yeah.

He just

doesn't like defining personality types with that.

[Gives up explaining] Something like that.

- I can't stand MBTI. - I know your personality.

What's your blood type?

- B. - B?

Right! You seem like a B.

- I knew you were a B! - That makes sense.

[Avoiding 16 types] I knew it.

[trapped in 4] No wonder, no wonder.

This is so B.

I'm B too!

And you really seem like a B.

[Blood-compatible duo connecting] You seem like a B too.

- You're type O, right? - Type A.

- Ah, no wonder. - You seem like an O though.

Being an A between two Bs must've been tough!

No, it wasn't tough.

- You seem more like an O. - I really like it.

He's an A that's close to an O.

- You're a B too. - AO!

I'm B.

[Another beloved younger brother] HAHA's blood type is also B.

- What about Seok Jin? - Is Seok Jin type A?

- AB? - Seok Jin is AB?

How would the production team know that?

Why would you ask the staff? How would they know?

They seem like they'd know everything!

What's Seok Jin's blood type?

Shouldn't you say Jee Seok Jin?

- What is this, PPL? - Kim Seok Jin's blood type is type O.

It says Kim Seok Jin.

[They weren't asking about BTS JIN, Kim Seok Jin] You can't just say Seok Jin like that

[Not PPL] when there are so many people named Seok Jin.

That's BTS's Seok Jin.

[Re-entering the question] What's Jee Seok Jin's blood type?

Jee Seok Jin's blood type is type A.

So he's A.

- Seok Jin is A. - Seok Jin is A.

[Turns out he said it right earlier] See, he's type A.

Seok Jin is A.

Seok Jin…

Let's ask Kwang Soo too! It won't feel complete until we confirm Kwang Soo's!

[Crunch] Hmm.

What's comedian Lee Kwang Soo's blood type?

- It won't show up like that. - It will!

Lee Kwang Soo's blood type is type A.

[Confirmed, Kwang Soo is type A!] Even if you say "comedian," it comes up.

[So he's also a comedian then] But Kwang Soo is an actor.

- It is true that I'm type A… - Comedian.

That's true.

Can't you just ask

- "What is Lee Kwang Soo's job?" - Should I?

What is Lee Kwang Soo's job from Running Man?

[Prediction] Comedian, actor, model.

Lee Kwang Soo is a South Korean actor, entertainer, and model.

- So not a comedian! - Is Lee Kwang Soo

from Running Man also a comedian?

- Lee Kwang Soo is not a comedian. - What is this?

He is continuing his career as an actor.

[AI certified, Kwang Soo is not a comedian!] What is this? What is this thing?

AI, AI.

What is this that's answering us?

[Late curiosity about the voice] There's AI installed in there.

It's built-in.

It's built-in.

This is so good that Seok Jin talks to this AI for over 30 minutes.

[Pocket Brothers Are Just an Excuse. Ep.71] Seok Jin talks with it for more than 30 minutes.

So give him a call!

- We should call him… - Yeah, let's call him.

- He chats with this thing for 30 minutes. - I can totally picture that.

Hey, seriously, call Seok Jin.

[Reflecting younger brothers] We should call him. You too.

Seok Jin…

- I'll call him, I'll call him… - Seok Jin spends time with this AI lately…

He chats and laughs with it for 30 minutes!

- It's practically a companion AI now! - Seriously.

[A.k.a. IT guy] Actually, he's just quickly adapting to trends

and using it well, but why does it

seem kind of sad?

- It does feel a bit sad… - Yeah.

- It's a bit different, right? - A different vibe.

[Promise to call] I'll call him, I'll call him.

We really should.

I should get him a plant or something…

Why a plant?

So he can spend time wiping it?

- Orchids are good for gifts. - Isn't that

[A gift fit for Seok Jin] what retired chairmen do?

[Probable reaction] "Hey Kwang Soo, what's this?"

"Huh? Why'd you send me a plant?"

Older folks really do wipe orchids like that.

They wipe the leaves and water them.

- They wipe the dust off the leaves, right? - Right.

Time passes easily

- and it clears their minds - Right.

and when they take care of the plant well

and it shines bright and healthy it makes them happy.

Yeah, that's right.

And they say it feels kind of like raising a child.

An orchid?

Do your parents grow anything?

There are some plants at home

- yeah. - They do?

Well, now that the kids are all grown up.

- Since they're out of the house? - Yeah, so

they water and wipe the plants.

- They probably see them like their own children. - They say they start to feel that way.

Parents often feel lonely

- you know. - That's true.

Do you grow anything at home, Kwang Soo?

I have some pots at home too.

[Turns out Kwang Soo is a plant person] You grow potted plants?

- What kind of pots? - What kind?

I have a cactus, and a fiddle-leaf fig too.

Kwang Soo grows plants? I didn't see that many before.

I started with one, and now they've added up.

So how is it? Now that you have more plants

does the air feel different?

- Does it feel more alive? - Does the vibe change?

I like watering them and stuff.

[Also likes the green freshness] I like having green around.

- It's really good emotionally too. - Yes, it is.

Do you grow anything, Dong Wook?

No.

- Nothing at all? - Nothing at all.

Not even one pot.

- Just… - I'll give you a cactus.

[Quick rejection] No, I'm good.

You only need to water a cactus once a month.

[Though it's known as an easy plant to care for] But they say you only need to water it

[It's still a cactus] once a month

[Once a month] and that's fine if someone

sticks to that and takes care of it properly

[Others end up watering again] but some people

- forget and water it again. - They water it again.

[Switching the topic to cactus care] Then the cactus gets sick and dies quickly.

Right, you can't give a cactus too much water.

- You can't. - You really can't.

And you have to be

- Right. - mindful of sunlight too.

Don't you also need to repot it sometimes?

You do, and you need to ventilate too.

So I write it all down on a calendar.

Because each plant has a different

- watering schedule. - You're really diligent.

[The planner plant dad] You don't seem like an ISFP.

[MBTI overanalyzers back again] That's just too, too…

- Then your MBTI must be a "J," a "J"! - No, it's just for the plants.

Are you the type to plan everything when you travel?

- I don't plan. - Not at all.

Just when it comes to plants, you're a "J."

You don't plan, you just follow wherever D.O. wants to go.

- Why are you bringing up D.O. again? - D.O.

No, we're not like that.

[Loving it] There's no need to explain.

When Sae Ho said he was going to Japan with GD Chang Hee asked if he was going to carry his bag.

[ChoNam Zone of friendship]

- So it's not that kind of relationship, right? - Not with me.

- Chang Hee and Sae Ho had a fight, remember? - Yeah.

[Yang Sae Ho] "Why do you talk like that?"

[Lee Sae Ho] "Why would I be carrying his bag?"

Ah, Sae Ho and Chang Hee have known each other long.

They really have.

But it's not like we're going to go on and on about those guys now.

- But didn't you bring them up? - It just passed through my mind.

- Right. - You brought it up.

- Just to shift the mood. - That's enough now.

You brought it up and we just ran with it for a bit.

Come on, don't do that.

They'll get spoiled.

[Careful not to spoil these 42~44-year-old boys] If we talk about them

like this when they're not here, they'll go

"See? They can't do it without us."

Ah, it's been so long since I saw Sae Ho.

I had dinner with him the week before last

and he was sitting on this side. He kept talking and talking

[Acting as Sae Ho] "Seriously…"

so I told him, "Sae Ho, hang on… Switch sides."

- My left ear was hurting too much. - You were trying to balance it out.

So I thought I had to balance it.

And Sae Ho is so sweet he just went over and kept talking over there.

- He talked over there. - He's sweet.

He just said, "Okay" and went over there and kept talking.

[Peace for the ear and heart] That was better.

But honestly, Jae Seok is the scariest when he does that stuff.

- He's the master of that. The master. - Master.

Of what?

- Of personalized teasing. - Totally.

- Totally. - He's that kind of master.

[For example, Kwang Soo's is…] I have jokes that

- are tailored just for Kwang Soo. - So they're just for Kwang Soo.

I text Kwang Soo sometimes.

Around April, I sent him "Kwang Soo, today's my birthday."

That was so weird!

[Gyeju was born in summer] Even though he knows your birthday is in August?

And

even if it was

[Unusual message] saying "It's my birthday!" like that is weird.

- Right, that's weird. - Of course I know it's in August.

So I texted back, "It's not your birthday it's in August."

and he replied, "No! Send a gift now."

And one time, Jae Seok sent me a coffee truck, a snack truck.

So I texted, "Everyone really loved it thank you so much." and he replied

- Right. - "Send money."

Dong Wook is fine, but you have to pay.

[Never-ending personalized teasing] So you have jokes made just for him?

They're Kwang Soo-only jokes.

When I go home, there's a rule book.

[Prank rule book] There's a rule book?

[Indexed by person] I look at it.

- Yeah, in March do this - A manual?

April do that, May do this.

He sends so many of these that of course there's a rule book.

Right.

It's all written out.

[Pinggyego]

Kwang Soo, so what makes you happiest these days?

I've never asked you that, Kwang Soo.

- We're always just joking around. - What makes me happy lately?

You're right, I've never had this kind of talk with Kwang Soo either.

[Answer: When working out] When I'm working out.

- Working out. - Working out.

- I feel good after I work out. - Of course.

You know, it's for your physical health

- but it really helps your mental health too. - Yes.

- Working out. - Working out is good.

But you've been too busy to work out lately.

But Kwang Soo comes in between shoots to work out, right?

[Works out whenever there's time] During drama shoots.

While still in makeup?

If I have some time, I come in work out for like an hour, then go back.

That's impressive.

[Then it even feels good going to bed!] Then I feel really good when I go to bed.

[Worked out and] It just feels like

[lived the day to the fullest] I really lived today to the fullest.

Do you ever look in the mirror after working out and do this kind of thing?

Kwang Soo wears sleeveless shirts… The kind that go down real low.

[Extra detail] The kind that's really cut down the side.

Right.

And he wears a weightlifting belt too. Like the ones pros use.

[Caught off guard] Why?

Are you hurt or something?

Why are you calling it something pros wear?

Pros wear it.

[Continuing Kwang Soo's gym look breakdown] He wears the cut-off tank

and the lifting belt when he works out.

- And then works out? - That's my look.

He wears baggy pants too.

Like Roman soldiers.

- So that's what he works out in. - Yeah, something like that.

It's cool. So when he's at

Smith machine and lifts, if there's a breeze

[Fluttering] the hair in his armpits flutters like this.

[Smack]

Why would there be wind at the gym?

[Chased out by a Roman soldier]

- Why would there be wind at the gym! - Maybe the air conditioning was on.

His hair flutters?

Why is it fluttering?

[Motion evolving into gills] Then the person next to you

- What are you talking about? - probably has a hard time focusing.

My hair's not that long! What are you saying?

[Like poetic license] I'm just saying that's how it felt.

- That's how it felt to me. - Ah, cause it's sleeveless and visible?

[Talk Off] That was shocking.

I just do it without worrying about it.

- It just flutters. - It flutters?

- Is that a fish fin or something… - Underwater, the sea…

[Evolved into seaweed] Like seaweed underwater.

What…

[Chased out again]

Why would you

say something so off-putting.

[Pretending not to be with him] Why are you just sitting there laughing?

[Predicting the next line again] He's waiting until we're done talking to chime in.

Yeah, I get it.

Don't push Jae Seok so hard like that.

- He's saying good stuff. - Come on.

- Don't push him like that. - What part of this is good stuff?

That really got me heated.

That's why I always wear long sleeves to work out.

Why do you wear long sleeves and not a t-shirt?

I wear long sleeves and even zip-ups when I work out.

- Why? - Because I like sweating.

You wear it to sweat more.

And I feel awkward if too much skin

- is showing. - Yeah.

[Agrees] Lately I feel the same way.

- Showing skin feels a little weird. - It feels weird showing skin.

Around other people at the gym?

Yeah, I wear short sleeves, at most.

[Now introducing Gyeju's gym look] Jae Seok also has a gym look

- right? - He has a look.

- T-shirt and track pants? - Tight-fitting t-shirt and leggings.

- Leggings? Tight ones? - Yeah.

I mean, they're track pants but from a distance

they look like leggings!

[Tight track pants or leggings] Is he checking to see

[It's not about the clothes] if his butt is lifted or what?

I don't know.

[Depends on who's wearing it] Leggings?

[Depends on the subject] Isn't that an eyesore?

If you look closely, it's got a drawstring in front so it's more like track pants

but from afar, it looks like leggings!

So he's working out in full body tights.

Then

Kwang Soo's sleeveless is actually better.

[Stares into distance…] It's like he's wearing it as punishment.

Like a penalty.

[Wrecked] Are you saying I work out in full body tights?

[And wireless earbuds in ears!] Yeah, the earbuds.

He wears earbuds.

- So the two of us are an eyesore to each other. - Wearing leggings.

[Next eyesore] Checking himself out in the mirror.

- Then… - What's that?

- Checking his own butt? - Looking at himself.

Oh, looking at his own body.

[#WorkoutComplete #BodyCheckByEye] If it's tight, you can see everything.

[#TouringSeoul] The two of you,

when you work out together, I wonder what the other gym members must think…

Maybe they're cracking up.

Or just really sick of us.

[Quick self-awareness from the person in question] Probably sick of us, really sick of us.

[Reenacting the annoyance without rest] What is that?

[Flailing] Just checking himself out.

- Hey! - There's a mirror right here.

You always stand at the mirror spot?

When did I ever say I look like that?

[Got it] He's just looking overall.

Then he taps his earbud twice like this.

Why twice?

[Tap tap! Music change] He wears his earbuds.

Oh, music.

[Wipe tears] I use earbuds when I work out.

When I talk to Kwang Soo, I tap once

[One tap pauses the music] to pause.

There's a routine.

- We have a routine. - He really does.

When Kwang Soo wears a sleeveless shirt and lifts heavy weights

he goes, "Heh… heh, heh…"

[Starting!] What is that?

- What are you talking about? - Why are you saying it like that?

- Because he's out of breath. - Out of breath.

[Comes back after holding in laughter] A breathing technique.

Kwang Soo actually sticks his tongue out when he works out.

He goes, "Heh, heh

heh-heh!"

That's an exaggeration. You're exaggerating.

Right.

What about you? How do you work out?

Jae Seok does PT, and he works out alone a lot too.

But when he works out alone it's usually really short.

[Gyeju's workout style: Short, fast, a lot!] Short.

- Short and intense? - Fast. A lot.

And he does core workouts and stuff too.

[That's short, fast, and a lot]

But he

- Why do you do your mouth like that - doesn't go for long.

- pressing your front teeth together? - I don't know. But that's how he does it.

Just like this

in the core workout zone.

Really short! Short and fast!

[Putting it all together] So you stick your tongue out, and he does that.

[Gym scene complete]

When we go there, that's just how it is.

[Worried about other gym members] The other people must hate it.

- They'd be laughing too hard to work out. - And we're just like…

[Tap tap! Change workout BGM]

[Body check!]

Just checking, just checking.

I wish we had a video of Kwang Soo working out.

So you're more of a heavy lifter.

Oh yeah, he's strong!

[Power man] He's strong.

Kwang Soo's known for

- being strong at the gym. - I mean, you might think

he's lanky because he's tall, but he's really not.

He's strong.

When

we're moving or lifting heavy stuff we call Kwang Soo. He's really good at lifting.

Oh, is he a moving service?

And he doesn't need a ladder for second floors.

[No ladder needed] He just lifts it up himself to the second floor.

[Fast and safe delivery]

- For second floor, that's… - No ladder.

- This is the first floor. How is that possible? - No ladder.

[Expression says "Why not?"] This is the first floor.

I can't even touch the ceiling here how would I reach the second floor?

He probably passes it up from the bottom.

You touched the ceiling just now.

How does that reach?

You reached it.

[Even had room to spare] You reached it.

How does that reach? You could probably reach it too.

- Try it. - Try it.

I can't reach it.

[Touch possible with effort!] You could if you try, right?

You're almost there.

[Everyone trying to touch the ceiling mid-convo]

- You can't reach at all, right? - We can't.

[No reach] We can't reach at all.

No way.

We have to jump to touch it. Kwang Soo, you're amazing.

[More shocked than anyone else] Honestly, I didn't think I could reach.

That gym sounds fun.

- It's fun, it's fun! - The gym is really fun.

- Sae Ho goes there too. - Yeah, yeah.

How does Sae Ho work out?

[The name alone is funny]

He's the type who makes a lot of noise too.

He's the noisy type?

He does one rep and checks himself out in the mirror.

[Habitual body check] Just one rep and then this?

- Keeps doing this with his arms. - Right!

- That hand! - Why does he do that with his arms?

But he does chest workouts and then checks his arms. I don't get it.

It's not even a joke.

- He's serious about it! - He's serious!

When Cho Sae Ho was really into working out and lost a lot of weight

[Constant shirtless photo sharing] he used to send me

shirtless pics all the time…

- I guess he was proud of it! - Probably.

What about Se Chan? Don't you work out?

I don't really.

- But I do some stuff at home. - You walk a lot too.

I jog up Namsan

and do push-ups at home.

He's got natural strength.

Oh yeah, Se Chan's got a strong build.

His frame too.

I need to start working out too. That's what Jong Kook told me.

- You should, you should. - Right.

Even if you can't do it like Jong Kook

you still gotta work out.

You're short when you're sitting down.

That's because Kwang Soo slouches.

You shouldn't slouch.

You need to sit up straight.

Come on…

What?

It's true!

You said tall people tend to slouch to look shorter.

- Did you have that a bit when you were younger? - So he said he's always

- a little hunched over. - That started

- to happen more after I started working. - Why, why, why?

Just, when I'm walking

around upright

- I make eye contact with everyone! - Right, right.

And since I'm tall, people always stare.

So you started slouching a bit on purpose.

It just naturally happens.

[A kind of occupational hazard] So that's a thing.

And Kwang Soo's

- actually introverted too. - Right.

[When people recognize him] When people recognize him and say hi

he could just say, "Nice to meet you" but he's introverted, so that's hard for him.

[Usually quiet and reserved] Kwang Soo doesn't

- talk much normally. - He doesn't.

People often ask if he's upset.

But here, you have to talk, it's a broadcast.

I've been talking this whole time.

[Unfair] You know, if you look closely

the two of you look alike. Do you know that?

[Jae Seok, Se Chan] These two look like exact copies

[Jae Seok, Dong Wook] and these two look like

one side of a watercolor bled into the other.

[Q. Which one is the smudged watercolor?]

Like this.

[Undeniable comparison] You can tell.

So have you ever had uncomfortable experiences while out?

I'm friendly-looking, so people sometimes just grab me

[Some people touch without hesitation] all of a sudden, which can be a bit surprising.

- Yeah, that can be surprising. - That happens a lot.

It startles me too.

And it happens often where

someone suddenly goes, "Hey, Kwang Soo!"

But I don't really remember who they are

- and it'd be rude not to recognize them - Right, right.

[Pretend to know them]

so I just say, "Hi, how have you been?"

I shake their hand and stuff.

- But while we're talking… - "Kwang Soo!"

- Something feels off… - That tone…

We're in the middle of a conversation

and suddenly I'm like

- "Oh… I don't know this person." - Right, right.

It happens.

You get that moment of realization.

When they say stuff like

"I've been enjoying watching you lately."

[Because of his friendly image] It's because I seem approachable and friendly.

[These things happen] "Kwang Soo, where are you headed?"

That kind of closeness will actually be

a big help and asset and in your life going forward.

[Was that a compliment?] What?

A big asset?

Dong Wook really looks out for Kwang Soo.

- Of course. Kwang Soo. - More than I expected.

We always think

"What fun stuff will we talk about on Pinggyego today?"

but yesterday, I was telling Se Chan earlier I was just so happy even in my sleep.

[Excited] He said he slept like a baby.

You were at ease?

[Like the night before a field trip] Just thinking about meeting us.

[Excited to see his favorites] I was looking forward to

how much fun we'd have talking.

And we've laughed a lot today too.

I laughed because of Dong Wook, because of Se Chan, because of Kwang Soo.

Kwang Soo! Kwang Soo!

[Auto play]

Seriously, how many decades have they been doing this? Decades!

[Never-changing repertoire] Really.

- Since our twenties. - Yeah.

- It's like a reflex now. - Yeah.

It's just a reflex.

Don't look off into the distance when you're talking.

[Pinggyego]

Last time you were on

what happened to that earth melon smoothie outfit?

[Earth melon smoothie outfit] I returned it.

- Oh, it was a sponsorship? - Yeah!

- Is today's outfit sponsored too? - Yeah…

Really? Not your personal clothes?

- Are those yours? - Yeah, mine.

- Mine too. - Uh, well…

It's not sponsored, but I have to return it.

That's a sponsorship.

[We agreed to call that] That's what a sponsorship is.

[a sponsorship] To whom?

Then it's a sponsorship.

No, there are places where I give it back after getting it.

Isn't that a sponsorship?

- That's a gift. - A gift.

- Kwang Soo has so many clothes. - He does!

His clothes are really something.

He doesn't even

have plain pants.

[Prefers bold fashion] All his pants have patterns or something.

I like that kind of stuff.

But what's the point of dressing so flashy

when your whole face is covered up?

[Strong fashion preferences] You wear a mask

a bucket hat, and glasses.

What's that about? What kind of mindset is that?

I'm not saying I want

to be recognized

- It's like… - I think I get it.

but I also don't want to give that up.

[Can't give up fashion] Clothes.

It's about your personal expression through fashion?

- If people don't recognize you, you feel hurt? - Yeah.

- And that fashion is part of your taste. - Exactly.

The Divorce Insurance

[Reminder, March 31] premieres

[Premieres at 8:50 p.m.] on March 31

so we hope you'll all tune in.

Oh, and the ones who couldn't be here today

Lee Joo Been, Lee Da Hee

Kim Won Hae, and EXY…

- They're all really sharp. - Oh, definitely.

- Comedy is - Of course.

all about timing.

Same goes for ad-libs.

And they all have great instincts

[A project filmed with joy] so it's always a fun set.

How's Lee Da Hee doing?

- She's always fighting with Kwang Soo. - Same as always, same as always.

Da Hee is fun to tease, isn't she?

- And Lee Da Hee reacts so well. - Her reactions are the best.

- Yeah, they really are. - Her reactions are great.

Some people are just really good at reacting.

We should've brought Lee Da Hee today.

- Yeah, why didn't you come together? - Yeah.

He told us to leave her out.

Why did you do that?

You think you can control that? Huh?

What are you talking about?

- I cried so much today from laughing. - Yeah.

Oh, and it was great to see

Kwang Soo here again after a while

and he really brought a lot of energy today.

- Right, you're basically family here now. - Saying he "brought a lot of energy"

- You really stand out too. - sounds weird.

You're definitely stirring the pot

just as much as anyone here today.

I'm sure people noticed.

I've really calmed down compared to before.

And today, I made up my mind.

I thought, "I hope Kwang Soo shines today"

- So you're giving him a push, playing support. - so I came planning to stay low-key.

Big thanks to Dong Wook

Kwang Soo, and

Se Chan for being with us today.

And to all our Gyewon, thank you.

- Bye. - Bye, thank you.

- Good job. - Thank you.

- Kwang Soo! Kwang Soo! - Yes, yes, yes, hyung!

Dong Wook is tall too, but when Kwang Soo's around…

He looks short.

What is that?

Today, these two said they'll film Shortlevator.

- See, I told you. - Really?

[Channel SsookSsook Shortlevator Ep.04] Told you, told you.

[Releases April 3 at 5 p.m.] Thanks.

It's on the way anyway.

There's a lot of content today.

It's on the way anyway.

Don't take off your mic.

- Keep your mic on, your mic. - No, it's okay, we don't need the mic.

[Pinggyego] There's a lot of content today.

I like it.

Let's head to the next schedule.

So the next one is Shortlevator.
