Original subtitles

[23-second preview] He's driving me nuts.

He's dressed like he's a patient

and we're all here visiting him at the hospital.

I don't feel good.

Oh, he's pushing my buttons.

He's pushing all of my buttons.

- Do you know this? - Bring it back to life.

Bring it back!

- Why are you in such a rush? - There's still time.

You were doing better earlier, what's wrong?

- Be quiet back there. - This is going to get us killed.

Come on.

[If you recognize this image that looks like your aunt's house]

[you probably know that it's our third Seollal together already]

[Let me chat with my comfort friends over some tteokguk]

[Pinggyego]

[This video includes a paid promotion by imegg]

It's Seollal today!

Happy New Year everyone.

If I get up and do a New Year's bow

it would be inconvenient

and you'd probably feel uncomfortable so I just did this.

At the end, I'll do one with all of today's guests.

If I start with a full-blown bow

it'll startle people.

We have a sponsor today.

[imegg liquid eggs] imegg.

They sell eggs like this these days. How convenient.

Since people use a lot of beaten eggs during the holidays...

Oh, this is great for that!

[We'll use these for something delicious later] Since it's the Seollal holidays

imegg sent this to us.

imegg, thank you.

[His comfort friends will be joining him] My comfort friends are coming.

Hasn't it been a while since we last got together like this?

We haven't had this particular group in a year and a half.

Wow.

[We were lucky to be able to get them here today] It took a year and a half to make this happen.

It's the first time since the coupon book episode where you made bingsu.

That's right.

[Dong Wook and Sae Ho / Just Dong Wook] Dong Wook was here

[Chang Hee and Dong Wook] then Chang Hee and Dong Wook were here together

[But it's been a while since all three were here] but not with Sae Ho, right?

- It's been a while. - It really has.

Sae Ho: Hello, long time no see.

[Sae Ho is early as always] Hello.

Why do you have a stuffed frog?

[In episode 65, Like Attracts] I brought the stuffed frog because

I promised to bring it last time.

When you sleep, its feet...

[He uses the stuffed frog like a sleep mask] Yes.

This little guy is worn out.

[It explored the washing machine twice] Its been in the washing machine twice.

[Proven to be in service by how worn out it is] It's my comfort plushie.

- It's your comfort plushie. - Yeah.

Not just mine, but also...

You know, the person that I live with.

[And the froggy makes three] We're all living happily together.

Hold it like this.

[Holds it close]

It's a bit hard to hold this guy like this

so I have to do this.

[Bouncing the baby on his way to sit down] Okay, have a seat.

Yes, thank you.

How have you been all this time?

I mean, we'll see each other tomorrow on set.

Oh, right, tomorrow.

I also saw you just last week and you're asking me that?

By the way, Dong Wook and Chang Hee are joining us today.

[Dong Wook is very busy these days] Dong Wook is shooting a drama...

He's very busy.

He's also busy with the film Harbin. He has all those meet-and-greets and events.

Oh, I hear footsteps.

[Is that Dong Wook?] That's the sound of a big pair of shoes.

[Tip-tap]

Hey.

- Hello! - Wow, what a relief.

Why? What's up?

I was going to wear that today.

Thank you.

- Sae Ho gifted this to you, didn't he? - That's right.

[Telepathy] I thought about wearing the same thing.

It's from my brand.

This is actually the best-seller.

- Listen. - Thank you so much.

- I was going to wear this. - It's nice.

[He couldn't wear it because of the fold lines] But there were fold lines this morning.

[Narrowly escaped being twinsies] It was destined to happen.

Yeah, if I'd worn it

[Jinx] we would've been wearing the same thing.

Chang Hee, I read that

you're almost engaged.

That's the narrative they're pushing.

["Nam Chang Hee envies Cho Sae Ho and he wants to get married this year too"]

Well, I would love to.

If I were you, Chang Hee, I would speed things up

[People are talking about it, might as well] as long as the word is out.

I mean, you two have to discuss it, of course

but you should do it!

Jae Seok has been saying this for three years now.

If I'm being honest I've been saying this for the last three years.

Hold on to your girlfriend.

And get married soon.

When I first told him

that I started seeing someone

he said, "Get married."

[That spoke to Sae Ho] But that actually had a big impact on me.

I see now that Jae Seok

doesn't care what kind of people we're dating. He just wants us to get married.

[Marry her first] He doesn't want to know anything about the person.

Just get married.

You can adjust as you go.

[Hear me out] I could tell you two were deeply in love.

- Yes, I am. - I am too.

But what you said gave me the courage to do it.

I know that Dong Wook is coming later

but the three of us are here already.

Who are you all waiting for?

[Staff busted]

Our conversation feels empty.

You feel this too, right?

- We're distracted. - We can't seem to focus.

Not just us, but the staff too.

They probably felt busted when I brought this up.

[The person we've all been waiting for] Why are you dressed so nice?

[Nonchalant Dong Wook in pajamas] Why is he in pajamas?

It looks good on you.

Why are you in pajamas? What is this?

Hello, I'm Lee Dong Wook.

[Devoted to the Seollal homewear idea for 3 years] What is this?

They're pajamas.

[Nonchalant] Yes, I'm in my pajamas.

Are they actually yours?

[Nope] They're not.

Oh, wow.

[Shaking hands] Happy New Year.

Right, to you too.

[Waiting for his handshake] You guys too.

[Turns a blind eye]

- Take my hand. - Shake my hand already.

[Just kidding] His hands are warm.

[His character in Harbin] Lee Chang Seop, you have warm hands.

Wow.

You haven't seen it yet.

I'm going to go see it this week!

- Okay, okay. - I'm going to go see it today.

[Talking about Harbin while getting seated] I haven't seen it yet.

I mean, but I know what it's about.

[They go to the same gym] My gym mate, Hyun Bin

and Dong Wook are in it, so I know.

Hey, but why are you in your pajamas?

Aren't you in yours?

[Plays him like a fiddle as always]

Isn't this what you literally wear at home?

A cardigan over your pajamas.

Hey!

- These are not my pajamas! - It's just a cardigan over your pajamas.

[Bickering as soon as they've sat down] You're just wearing a cardigan over your pajamas.

Because I wear these sweatpants all the time

people started calling me Sweaty Bear.

[A great nickname] Sweaty Bear.

- Get it? - It is a clever name, though.

- Sure. - Chang Hee and Sae Ho are dressed so nice today.

What does "Safe and sound" mean?

It means being secure.

[An English expression that means being free from harm and danger]

I like the word "secure."

That's why I used the word "secure."

Because of your outfit

it looks like we're visiting you at the hospital.

Right.

I'm actually not feeling my best right now.

- What's wrong? - Are you not feeling well?

I've been working a lot and I have a lot on my mind.

I've been feeling kind of down.

So when I was thinking about coming here to see you guys...

Recharge your energy while you're here.

No, I thought "My energy is going to be lower after this."

[He got flipped] "How low can it get?"

[like some jeon on Seollal] He drives me crazy.

You need an IV or something.

The last text he sent me yesterday

was, "Don't talk too much tomorrow."

That's true.

[Didn't even bat an eye] So I told him I'm going to

and he was like, "Okay."

You're working on the drama Divorce Insurance right now.

I heard that Chang Hee kept messing up the takes.

Well

he did a few times

but it was way less than I expected.

- Oh, interesting. - Is that so?

I thought it would be like 10 times

[Proud of him] but it was only around three.

It's not like I'm the only one who messes up.

Everyone does.

Anyway, that was my first day shooting with him.

That's right.

And after we were done, I was so proud of him.

Were you?

Yeah, he was well-prepared.

You must've been even more nervous doing a scene with him.

I was, because he's the reason I got cast.

People are going to think that's true.

He went through meetings auditions, the whole thing.

- He did, right? - I did.

What's your character?

- Just Nam Chang Hee. - For real?

Seriously?

- They gave my name to the character. - Your character's name is Nam Chang Hee?

Like in old sitcoms.

The show is about an insurance company

and I'm an insurance salesman.

[Plays an insurance salesman from another company] But from a different company.

And Dong Wook's been promoting Harbin

- for around two years. - That's true.

[He was promoting every time he was here] He talked about it every time he was on this show.

And it's finally out. It's been seen by over five million people, right?

[On the day this video was edited: 4.55 million] No, we're not there yet.

- Has it reached four million? - It's about 4.2 million.

We're not even close yet. A long way to go.

This will give it the last push.

It'll keep going up after Seollal.

I'm a little disappointed in your viewers.

I've been promoting this for the last two years.

Why are you coming to not see it?

I mean, why aren't you coming to see it?

[Like an immature uncle on Seollal] You're here on Seollal and you're complaining?

"Why are you coming to not see it?" That doesn't make sense.

[Whining] Why aren't you coming to see it?

That's funny. By the way that's a great character you came up with.

The nonchalant character, it's a good one.

It takes a little getting used to.

It takes time to get used to and it's easy to misunderstand him

but once people get used to it this is a solid character.

- That's actually a misunderstanding too. - What do you mean?

I'm not doing a character.

- Is this for real? - Yes.

You can think of it as the real me.

At first, I thought that he didn't like me.

But no!

He's a warm person.

He was kind of right.

[The truth of the multi-layered man] I heard that.

You're even funnier now.

I was right and he doesn't like me?

[Teasing] He kind of hates you.

[Teasing] Just kind of.

[Triggered] He's just...

[Gets mad] Why were you eavesdropping?

It was loud, I could hear it.

Well, you should've pretended like you couldn't.

[Pinggyego]

We were talking for a while before you arrived

but there was a strange vibe.

It felt like the staff wasn't really paying attention to what we were saying.

- Oh. - It turns out

that they were waiting for you. They kept looking for you.

It felt like 15 minutes before a musical.

[Felt like an intermission at a theater] That unsettled atmosphere.

They kept peeking like a bunch of meerkats.

[Coy] Why act like this is a special occasion?

- They've never been too happy to see me. - Where did he get this attitude?

You're never that happy to see me.

- Of course we are! - What are you talking about?

- We definitely are. - To everyone who's watching this

check out the last Seollal episode and you'll see

[When he came in after Gong Yoo] the difference in reaction when Gong Yoo entered

[He was disappointed by their reactions] and when I entered afterwards.

[Sassy] When did you ever care about me?

You know, on holidays

people are more happy to see relatives that they haven't seen in a while.

[Not convinced] Haven't seen in a while?

I was just here for the award show.

- I meant Gong Yoo. - Oh, Gong Yoo.

Look at this, we expanded the space

[The aftereffects of the award show] so now there's a partition there.

You know what this reminded me of?

An outlet mall after hours.

[A closed store behind that thing] There's a store behind that.

You're right.

An outlet mall after hours.

[Detailed analogy] It's not a department store, but an outlet mall.

You're extra witty today. What's going on?

No, I don't feel so good.

That's the weird thing when you're not feeling well

[You're more quick-witted] that happens sometimes.

It's because you're more relaxed.

- It could be that. - Is that why?

When you're in good shape, you're too eager.

- That's true. - I have to be careful because I feel...

- Great? - Do you feel great?

I went to bed at 10:30 last night.

And I woke up at 7:30 in the morning.

My eyes opened before the alarm.

[A nine-and-a-half-hour deep sleep] You slept for nine and a half hours?

Right, I slept for about nine hours.

- You got plenty of sleep. - Yes, finally.

- I envy you. - I envy you.

How much sleep did you get last night?

I got like six and a half hours.

That's not too bad.

I got about six.

- That's not bad, either. - I do get some sleep these days.

I started taking plant-based melatonin.

- Plant-based melatonin? - Yes.

It's a supplement that helps you sleep better

and it really works.

Oh, give me the details later.

I used to never get more than seven hours of sleep

but now I easily do.

I slept a little less last night just because I had to get up early today.

Send me a link.

No need, I'll just get you some myself.

[Anyway, it helps him sleep] It really helps me sleep.

But I get nightmares.

Do you?

Wait, the quality of sleep seems to be poor.

You're stressed out about acting at the moment.

That's true, I'm a little stressed.

Oh, by the way

since Dong Wook, Kwang Soo and Chang Hee are all starring in that show

[He tried to send a food truck] I wanted to send a food truck

[to the set of Divorce Insurance] to the set or something

- so I asked the manager - We'd love that.

when you're all on set together.

But it seems like you never are.

No, we aren't.

There was only one time.

There was only that one time and that's in the past.

- Now what? When can I do that? - We barely ever shoot together.

- It'll happen again sometime. - I'll send you a truck when it does.

What kind of character does Kwang Soo play?

He's a risk surveyor.

His job is to evaluate possible risks for the insurance company.

It's a very smart character.

And Kwang Soo in real life is also...

- Smart. - He's a smart guy.

Kwang Soo?

[Hahaha]

[Everyone unites when they tease Kwang Soo] That's news to me.

We're talking about Kwang Soo when he's not here.

I'm sorry, Kwang Soo.

[Emphasizing their compliments] Kwang Soo, I told them you were smart.

[as team Divorce Insurance] I agreed with him.

Kwang Soo is

[Smart?] nice.

What's your character then?

Kwang Soo and I develop insurance plans.

You're not here to promote Divorce Insurance.

No, I'm not.

But you're promoting it right now.

You brought it up.

- Did I? - Yes.

I didn't say anything about Divorce Insurance.

- That's true, actually. - You didn't?

I only answered because you asked. What am I going to do, not answer?

[A summary of their conversation: Sleep] He just answered you.

[Chang Hee's acting-related nightmares] What kind of conversation would that be?

[Sending a food truck, their characters] Did I bring it up?

You did.

It's a bit early to be talking about this

but ChoNam Zone is making a comeback soon

[Sae Ho wrote lyrics for ChoNam Zone's new songs] and I wrote some of the lyrics.

- And they're actually about dreams. - That's right.

Speaking of ChoNam Zone

the music video you promoted on Pinggyego

hasn't even hit 100 thousand views yet.

That's impressive in its own way.

I relate to Dong Wook being disappointed in your viewers.

We promoted it on your show so I hope you show your support.

[Copying Dong Wook] Show us a little bit of support.

[Current view number is 94 thousand] Just a little bit.

A lot of the comments were saying they were there from Pinggyego.

[Actual comments] Everyone is there from Pinggyego.

[Here after watching the Pinggyego Awards] It's an internet tourist spot.

I know.

I don't think you can compare that to Harbin.

[It's been bothering him] Hey, come on.

- They're totally different. - What's up with his attitude?

How can you put ChoNam Zone and Harbin together

- in the same category? - He just pushes my buttons every time he's here.

About Harbin

[Harbin is now in theaters] I saw the teaser and read about it

[It's about the urgent journey of] and it's amazing.

[independence activists including Ahn Jung Geun] Is Lee Chang Seop a fictional character?

[on their way to Harbin] He's fictional.

[to assassinate Itō Hirobumi] I know I've said this before

but it's not a very big character.

But people have been saying that your character was so powerful

and made a strong impression.

Seok Jin saw the film.

Oh, Seok Jin saw it already?

And he mentioned how amazing Dong Wook was in it.

He cares about his fellow high school graduate.

- Thank you, Seok Jin. - Yeah, he saw the movie.

Well, I gave him a watch already.

[The watch Dong Wook gave him] Are you not wearing it?

I forgot today.

I was out of it because I had a nightmare.

[That was a good one]

You had to rush out.

I had another nightmare.

I understand.

[In awe] His wit is showing promise this new year.

What wit? I'm serious.

[Admiring] He's quick-witted.

I actually had a nightmare and I couldn't think straight.

[Spooked]

[Yu Jae Seok, the king of wit] It's always funnier when you're telling the truth.

[Grabs] He's been training on Mr. Radio.

- Don't worry too much. - Thank you, it'll be okay.

[Useful item for keeping warm in winter: A scarf] Scarves help more than you'd think.

- Do they? - They keep you warm.

I feel like you're copying GD.

I'm not.

[A reasonable suspicion] He does talk about him.

[Admits to copying him] I do admire GD.

[Notices his socks while talking about GD] GD is...

Your socks are cute.

- They're my merch. - I want to buy a pair of these.

But he told me not to buy them because he's going to give me a pair.

But he never did.

[Stern] I didn't.

I told him I want to purchase them

but he was like "No, you don't have to."

He admits to it.

Why should I?

It's such an inconvenience.

Let me buy them then!

[Frustrated Sae Ho] It's already sold out.

Let me have a pair! Leave those today so I can take them.

[Sae Ho's brand] Yours is AMOUPRE, you should trade.

[King Solomon Chang Hee suggests a trade] Just like soccer players.

By the way, the four of us

haven't met up like this in a year and a half.

We have a lot to do together with Dong Wook.

We have to head outdoors too.

We need to go on that rural getaway.

But he's working on his drama at the moment.

- When are you done? - It's too cold right now anyway.

When does shooting wrap?

I think we wrap in March. In the beginning or middle of March.

[Knows all about his schedule] You have a thing after that.

You're going abroad.

I'm doing a meet-and-greet in Japan.

Let's go there.

[Proposes off the cuff] Let's follow him to his Japan meet-and-greet.

- That's not a rural getaway. - That's true.

That's just you wanting to go to Japan because you like it there.

[Busted]

You're spitting cold facts today.

[Nods]

[Strict investigator Dong Wook] Are you an investigator or something?

We actually tagged along to his Japan meet-and-greet before.

They did.

And I still remember, the day after the event

the three of us had some unforgettable soba.

I loved that place.

My favorite soba place.

- The 100-year-old restaurant. - Right, the 100-year-old one.

- That sounds good. - It's really good.

They have deep-fried eel too.

- Deep-fried eel? - Yeah.

- They deep-fry eel. - Who paid?

I think I did.

Sometimes, he'd tell me to pay

and I would.

- Wow, that's an edited version of what happened. - He never told me to pay.

What do you mean?

"Sae Ho, you should pay."

"Why should I?"

You left that part out.

Why should I?

He's the one who ordered the eel.

[Pinggyego]

By the way, what are you doing for Seollal?

I'm not doing anything.

This year, I think

I'll just visit my parents and have a meal with them

and do a meet-and-greet for the film.

Oh, for Harbin?

Chang Hee, are you visiting your hometown in Incheon?

Yeah, I'm visiting there and then doing my radio show.

[The new groom's first big holiday with his wife] I'm visiting my parents with my wife.

Right, you have to visit her family too.

He has a few places to visit.

You have to bow to your in-laws and get a New Year's cash gift.

I'll graciously accept if they offer.

[A question] Do you bow to your in-laws

and get a cash gift on Seollal?

I bet he definitely bows at least.

- Of course I do. - Do they give you a cash gift?

[Thinking] Do they? I don't remember.

His father-in-law is like

[A dramatic reenactment] "Sir, I know this is not much..."

Hey, come on.

[His build-up to tease Jae Seok] He really is pushing all my buttons today.

[Joins in] "It's Seollal after all."

"Please take our humble gift."

- What are you saying? - "I know it's not much."

[Just kidding] I just wanted to know if you get a cash gift too.

- Wait, do I? - Probably not.

- I don't think so. - Right?

But it would make you feel good, wouldn't it?

Of course, it would.

A while ago, Dong Wook

gave me an envelope with cash on Seollal

and said "Get yourself something nice this year."

[Dong Wook gave Chang Hee a cash gift] Really?

Yes, he did.

- You got a cash gift from him? - Yeah.

- Wait a minute. - What about me?

Why are you only nice to Chang Hee?

Because I never get to see him.

He's too busy.

[Sulky] I have to see him to give him something.

Oh, you saw each other on Seollal.

[Generously gave him a Seollal gift] Yeah, that's why he gave me the gift.

I saw a lot of positive articles about the Pinggyego Entertainment Awards.

It's just Pinggyego Awards. Not Entertainment Awards.

[My bad] Oh, right, the Pinggyego Awards.

[Especially obsessed with facts today] You don't even know what it's called.

Can't you just let it slide? Do you have to pick on everything?

We can't just let it slide. Did you not take language classes?

[Happy / Indifferent / Serious / Lonely] It changes the whole nature of it.

[I have a bachelor's in comedy] You really think I didn't take language classes?

Do you really believe that? A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P.

[Can't stop him] Q R S T U V W X Y and Z.

You calling it the Pinggyego Entertainment Awards

is the same thing

as me calling you Cho Sae Hotel California.

What's wrong with that? I like it.

- They're not the same thing! - What is Cho Sae Hotel California?

Well, I can't call him Cho Sae Hotel Transylvania.

All right, it's the Pinggyego Awards not the Pinggyego Entertainment Awards.

It sounds too grandiose if you add the "Entertainment."

Okay, the Pinggyego Awards.

Yeah, the Pinggyego Awards.

[Dong Wook announced the Grand Prize winner] As you know, I announced the Grand Prize winner.

When I opened it and saw the name Hwang Jung Min

I debated if I should pull a prank or not.

[Can't help but be mischievous]

I wanted to say "Lee Dong Wook."

Who knows if I'll ever get that award?

But I knew he was going to be mad at me.

[Hosted the thing by himself for three hours] He must've been exhausted that day.

So I was like "Nah, I won't."

- You should've done it. - It would've been fun.

I know.

[When multiple media outlets interview the cast] At the Harbin press junket

the interviewers all asked me about Pinggyego.

It's a part of your filmography now.

One of them asked me

"Didn't you want to win the Grand Prize?"

so I told them

that honestly

- I do want to win it again someday. - All right.

Although I didn't get to win consecutively

I do want to win it back.

All right.

Go on two rural getaways then.

[Way too strategic] When the flowers bloom and again when they fall.

- That's too strategic. - I shouldn't try too hard.

You can't plan a rural getaway that strategically.

And even if you did you should discuss it privately.

[Caught on camera] Not plan it in front of the cameras.

[Turns out he wants the Best Work Award] If we do that

then I can get an award too, for Best Work.

Naturally.

Best Content.

[Last year's Best Work winners] We got the Best Work prize

and it ignited some kind of passion in me.

[Regrets] I was sad that I wasn't able to join you.

Do you guys have any New Year's resolutions?

I decided to study English, and I started.

- Did you start already? - Yes, I did.

My teacher's name is Steven.

What new words did you memorize recently?

- He told me not to memorize words. - Seriously?

His curriculum doesn't include memorizing words.

It's all about having images in your mind.

How does that work?

Then why didn't you know what "Safe and sound" means?

[Stumped] Wait a second.

What did you say this was? Safety?

[He already forgot] Being secure.

I can't put the exact meaning into words.

- It's just a feeling. - Right, I go by feeling it.

I draw an image in my head.

[Instead of memorizing] Instead of obsessing over the definition

[the goal is to understand the feeling of it] you try to feel what it means.

I understand that it means being secure

I can feel what the meaning is. That's how I learn.

But your Korean is noticeably worse.

[The result: He speaks zero languages] You're not articulate at all.

Why did you want to study English?

I just felt like I was lacking something.

[He felt a sense of lacking in his education] You know, lacking.

[He tries to offer him comfort] Chang Hee.

We all went to school and studied for years

but not a lot of us can speak English very well.

I always felt like I was lacking in that sense.

And I decided that I want to fill it up.

Studying English is a common New Year's resolution.

What's yours, Sae Ho?

[Yawn] I always pick a key word.

I'm sorry, are you yawning right now?

[My New Year's resolution is ruined]

Dong Wook, that was unacceptable.

That really wasn't because he bored me.

[Involuntary action] It was just bad timing.

- It's hormonal. - You didn't mean to, right?

My New Year's resolution is to get closer to Dong Wook.

[Dong Wook and Sae Ho, we know you're close but we hope you get closer this year]

You are close already.

We are.

- Dong Wook, what's your New Year's... - Aren't you going to hear mine?

[Full of joy] You already said that you want us to be closer.

You told us already.

Do you know how much I like him?

I hung the speech he did at my wedding on my wall.

- Because I was so grateful. - That's hilarious.

I'm sorry.

I used to carry it with me in my bag.

Because I wanted to have it close to me. One time, I told him this over the phone

and he told me to stop lying.

He told me to prove it so I took it out and read it to him.

That actually happened. He read it to me.

So what's your New Year's resolution?

Once Divorce Insurance is done shooting I'll be working on a new project.

I want to stay healthy and safe in the process.

At the Harbin meet-and-greets

I always tell the audience to always stay healthy.

[Health is what matters the most] I just want to stay healthy this year.

It takes a lot of effort to look after your health.

Do you have a goal for this year?

Me? I don't have one.

[End of conversation]

That wasn't a very good question.

How else am I supposed to ask him? You try.

What other way is there?

How should I have put it? Tell me.

- Don't say "goal." - That sounds too grand.

Say "plans" instead.

When you said "goal," I closed my heart to you.

I was about to open it.

Chang Hee is right.

[Understood] A goal is something you have to achieve.

May I please knock on your heart again?

Okay, you may.

Do you have any plans for the new year?

Enter the passcode first.

[Politely enters the passcode this time]

Excuse me.

Do you have any plans for this year?

Huh? Who are you?

[His heart is closed again] I'm sorry.

How did you know the passcode?

My goal for this year is to get closer to these guys.

- I thought we were close. - You have to tell him who you are first.

[A stranger just entered the passcode] You just came in

[and it startled him] entering the passcode

so that startled me.

- Ding-dong. - Oh, I have plans for this year.

[Refused entry] I thought of what my plans are.

- I should just wait. - What are they?

[Tries to calm down for a second] I want to be invited to Jae Seok's housewarming.

Right.

I promise I'll invite you soon.

[It was hectic with his move last year] I moved last year and it was chaotic.

Right, you need some time to get things in order.

That's not for content, right? It's just your life, right?

Right.

I have a dream for this year.

It's to be the MC for Chang Hee's wedding.

Are you really planning on getting married?

- The two of us have talked about it. - That's a yes.

But we haven't discussed it with either side of our families yet.

[The wedding is not in motion yet] There are still steps to take.

Do you want to get married in a wedding hall?

Where else would I get married?

[Failed to understand the question]

I mean, it could be a small wedding.

I just want to have it in a wedding hall.

[The number of people to invite, the scale, etc.] If I do a small wedding, I wouldn't know

[A small wedding gives you a lot to think about] how many people to invite and all that.

I would prefer it to do it the way everyone else does.

- That would be easier. - Exactly, it would.

Would you have a small wedding, Dong Wook?

[Thinking] I...

don't want to have a wedding at all.

[He would have to discuss it] Of course, I would have to...

[with his future fiancé, of course] Right, discuss it with your future bride.

Yes, I would listen to what that person wants

[If possible] but I would rather use that money

to go on a vacation with my bride and all of our friends.

And you'd turn that into content?

[Crazy about content] You're a slave to content.

Go on a group rural getaway.

We have to do a vlog.

That would make about five episodes.

[The YouTuber adds to the idea]

DdeunDdeun can join them.

- That would be great. - Amazing.

If I'm going on a plane, I'm bringing a camera.

- I'm sorry to interrupt. - You need to bring one.

[Anxious] In that group of you and your bride's friends

am I included?

[Of course, Sae Ho is a part of that group] Of course you are.

Definitely.

So is Jae Seok.

- I have to come with. - The four of us are all coming.

Of course, I'll be the MC and everything.

Why do you always have to be the MC?

What else am I going to do?

- Just have fun! - Relax and take a day off.

I have to MC.

Do you prefer to MC than to just sit still?

Of course.

- He's addicted to it. - I have to keep the conversation going

[He wants to hype everybody up] and hype everybody up.

During interviews

[SBS's Wook Talk] because I did that talk show, they asked me

"Who would you have on as a guest if you host a talk show again?"

I told them it would be Jae Seok.

But there's a condition.

He only gets to answer.

I ask the questions and he answers.

[Gets to be on the show as long as he doesn't MC] You can't try to take over.

- Just answer my questions. - I only get to answer?

That would be difficult for him.

He takes over.

We can discuss details when the time comes.

You're not planning on getting married yet.

I'm not, and it feels so far away at the moment.

But you never know.

Right, you never know.

Was the first Seollal episode two years ago?

[1. Seollal holidays are just an excuse] This is the third one.

[2. Second Seollal holidays are just an excuse] It is, right?

[The third Seollal we're spending together] This is the third time.

- Every Seollal. - I know, right?

It's an honor.

- He's a Seollal icon. - Of course, he is.

[Suddenly notices Sae Ho's outift] Is your jacket Ch*nel?

It's AMOUPRE.

It's nice.

[Sulky] Why don't you give us the good stuff?

[Also sulky] He keeps the good stuff to himself.

- You mean this? - Yeah.

I mean, I can give them to you.

The problem is that it's my brand so I wear it often because I love it

but some people don't like it

because they say that I'm just trying to increase sales.

[And if he wears a different brand] So I'll wear something from Ch*nel

and they're like "He's wearing designer clothes instead of his own brand."

What am I supposed to do? Be naked?

[Listening carefully] It's hurtful, you know?

[Hahaha] By the way

when you talk about something that hurts or frustrates you

you always look at Chang Hee.

[When he's venting] Because he listens.

[he naturally turns to his best friend] Nobody listens but me.

It would be weird to address the viewers directly.

Sae Ho, I feel you.

[Jae Seok tries to comfort him as well] I forgive your sins.

You may do whatever you want.

He didn't wash his hair.

I did.

I'm 44 years old.

[Smells to confirm] Of course, I washed my hair.

- It smells nice, doesn't it? - It does.

I'm coming out with a line of hair products this year.

[He doesn't know where to stop]

- I mean, I have to promote somehow! - Stop it, will you?

[About to quit as best friend] That was terrible timing.

We already have a sponsor.

- I think those products are amazing. - They're the best.

[Reaches] You know about them, right?

Egg yolks. This is just the yolks.

Stop it.

Whole eggs. Both the whites and the yolks.

I feel like I have a long way to go when it comes to this.

When you have PPL on your show

- that's a wonderful thing. - It's something to be grateful for.

But you have to dissolve it into the show so that it's still enjoyable.

That's definitely true.

In my case, on Channel Cho Sae Ho

I tried to dissolve it

but I wasn't very good at it.

[A witness] It didn't dissolve at all.

There were just chunks of it floating.

I screwed everything up!

[Desperate] I really wanted to talk about this.

[He's so desperate that we had to listen] Please let me talk about this.

You should talk about it on your channel. Why bring it up here?

Nobody watches!

- Everyone left after that incident. - Nobody watches my videos.

[LOL] Fine, talk about it.

People won't watch my videos!

Go ahead.

I had no choice but to appeal to the many people who visit this channel.

It might be that nobody watching this even knows what you're talking about

[Most searched keyword by Gyewons right now] and you're just creating bigger problems.

[Channel Cho Sae Ho ad / Cho Sae Ho PPL] I apologize that we're doing this on Seollal.

[What happened to Channel Cho Sae Ho] It's fine.

I have to humbly admit my mistakes.

Yeah, it's better if we purge the bad things at the beginning of the year.

[He was grateful for the sponsor] We tried our best

[so he tried his best] to dissolve the products into our show.

We tried

but it turned out to be too much.

This incident was your fault

so you have to humbly accept that

[Best friend's realistic advice] and try to do better from now on.

That's why I took the courage to bring it up. I want to do better.

I hope everything will be all right this year.

So we ended up

talking about things that happened last year.

- Let's talk about something good. - Yes.

Something positive.

What...

Do you have any good news, Dong Wook?

- I do. - What is it?

A Shop for Killers was released last January.

That's right.

And last year...

I don't think you should have your hands in your pocket.

I don't have them in my pocket.

Dong Wook.

[Disappointed]

It was my mistake.

[In Hangout With Yoo] He did that to Joo Woo Jae too.

He was like "Take your hands out of your pockets" and Joo Woo Jae was like, "They're not in there."

What...

[Embarrassed, sorry, but finds it funny] Jae Seok doesn't like it

[A mix of emotions] when your hands are in your pockets.

[The truth] They were not in his pockets.

I apologize.

Dong Wook.

[Preventing any further misunderstandings] I'm sorry.

A Shop for Killers was released...

This is what you need to do when you're with Jae Seok.

- It was your shirt. - He was touching his shirt.

He was just holding on to his shirt.

I thought your hands were in your pockets.

- I know you wouldn't do that. - I see why you'd think that.

Guess if I have my hands in my pockets or not.

- You do. - That's funny.

I don't, see?

[The correct answer] I don't have them in there.

Stop it.

[Smirks]

My goodness.

Are my hands in or out?

[Mad / Out / In]

[Answer reveal] They're in this time.

They're in my pockets this time.

He just

drives me crazy every time he's here.

[Back to professional mode after teasing Jae Seok] Anyway, at the end of the year

articles about the TV shows of that year come out.

And many international media outlets along with Korean ones

listed A Shop for Killers as the best drama of the year.

Wow, congratulations.

International media outlets keep an eye on Pinggyego.

Of course.

So that affected Dong Wook's popularity.

Sure.

[Pinggyego]

[Dong Wook doesn't know about the frog] Did you bring the frog from home?

- I brought this because - It's his comfort plushie.

last time I was here with Lee Jun Hyuk and Han Ji Min

I told them that I use this fella instead of a sleep mask.

[The staff asked him to bring it today] It's cute.

- It's great to cuddle with. - Right?

It has all the elements of a good comfort plushie.

It makes me feel safe when I go to bed.

[An eye-catchingly adorable stuffed animal] It looks like it would.

[Seated]

It's very docile.

[What a gentle baby, it doesn't even cry] I put it here.

- It's just sitting there. - It's so gentle.

It's calm and comforting.

It's just sitting on that pointy knee.

Pick it up by its butt.

It's very nice.

[Sitting still]

[Sae Ho's comfort plushie is getting praised] It's very stable.

It feels stable.

[Dong Wook tries to make eye contact] What a nice, gentle fella.

Its name is Cho Rong.

- It has a name? - Yeah, it's Cho Rong.

- So - It's cute.

you have it on like this

and it's super comforting.

[He can sense the doubt] Trust me and give it a shot.

Like this.

[Lies down like this is his bedroom] Hey, come on.

I sleep just like this.

I mean it, try it just once.

I can't sleep with something on my eyes.

- I can't even wear a sleep mask. - I can't either.

[The walls are too high] I can't sleep with a sleep mask on.

[His sleep demonstration is a failure] I'm telling you, it's very comforting.

I can't even sleep on my back.

- You can't sleep on your back? - No.

- Why not? - Then how do you sleep?

I get sleep paralysis

[Double-shocked by Chang Hee's revelation] if I sleep straight on my back.

So I have to sleep on my side.

- You get sleep paralysis? - It's not good to sleep on your side.

[Listen] So I actually

[Tried to see if there were other people too] looked it up to see if I was the only one.

- And I'm not. A lot of people are like that. - It's not good to sleep on your side.

I can't fall asleep if I'm lying on my back.

[Tossing and turning leads to sleep paralysis] A lot of people get sleep paralysis like that.

[Deeper into the topic of sleep] Do you guys often have dreams?

I have them pretty often.

Do you usually remember what they were about?

I do when I first wake up

but then forget it soon. That's what dreams are like.

Right, you forget them right away.

In my dreams

I've written song lyrics

and other things.

And I'd think that they were pretty good.

[Goes away if he doesn't write it down right away] So I think to myself that I should remember them

but I don't if I don't write them down.

I know that some people...

- They record themselves. - They record themselves, or

they keep something to write with on their bedside table.

I once had a dream in English.

- In English? - Yeah.

Everyone in my dream was speaking English.

- And you were too? - I was.

But the thing is

there's no way to tell if it's proper English.

But anyway, I did speak it.

[The mysterious world of dreams is limitless] But when I wake up, I still can't.

I rarely have dreams.

That's good. It's good to sleep with no distractions.

I don't have dreams that often either.

I do sometimes.

But I don't have them often. I don't think so.

Do you want me to have them?

[What is this reaction?] I'm telling you I don't have dreams.

Was I making a face? Were we all?

- How do you put it on your eyes? - You take this

[Thanks to Cho Rong] and cuddle it until you're falling asleep

[they were able to change the subject] then put it like this.

[Showing off his baby] Right, I see.

I see how that could be comforting.

And ever since I got this little guy

[Cho Rong is all ready for bed]

what's so adorable is...

You get some sleep.

[Pat] What's adorable is

[His wife likes stuffed animals] because my wife likes stuffed animals more than me

she brings that with us on our trips.

[Enjoying a trip together] It's actually quite nice.

[Source: Cho Sae Ho himself] At first, I didn't know why we'd take it.

You know what's cute? When we leave it in the hotel room

and then come back later

housekeeping tucks it into bed.

[Like this] On the pillow?

And it just brings me back to my childhood.

[Of all the fake Chang Hee news he's created] I once went around telling people as a prank

that Nam Chang Hee has a comfort plushie and he gets business class tickets for it.

[Ha] Now I understand what that feels like.

[Ha]

Why would you make up something like that?

It's funny.

[Encore] Nam Chang Hee loves his comfort plushie

- so he gets business class tickets for it - It is pretty funny.

and tells the flight attendant "This fella will have beef."

That story is so funny to me.

It's funny!

- Oh, for the in-flight meal? - Yes.

And then Chang Hee ate its meal while no one was watching.

[That was the fake news] But now I understand why people carry them around.

[All of the best ones] I have a lot of them now.

[Sae Ho starts bragging about his plushies] I have a capybara and a panda bear.

- And they all have names. - Okay.

My wife likes to name them.

- Right. - They're named Black-white

- Riri - Hmm.

Kiki, Woofy, Cho Rong, and so on.

- Ah. - It's fun.

Oh.

Looks like it's only fun for me.

I apologize.

It's okay, I'm having a great time.

Woofy and Kiki was a bit...

- What, they're cute! - I apologize to all the Gyewons.

At Woofy and Kiki

[Failed to react properly] I didn't know what to do anymore.

It's great for you that you're having fun.

[Great "for you"?] If you're not having fun

[A backhanded comment] things would've been very awkward.

I want to ask them. Don't you have comfort plushies?

[Reaches out to the staff] No? Lee Jin?

[Fail] No, okay.

[Comfort clothes] I have comfort pajamas.

And sweatpants.

Isn't this your comfort outfit?

[His signature look] You can say that.

[Are his hands in his pockets or not] This is what I wear

to feel comfortable.

[They're not] And you also have that baseball cap.

- That national team cap. - Right, I do.

[Tries to expose him] I know for a fact

that you have a lot of cutesy stuff at home.

- I do have a lot of plushies. - He has a ton of them.

Why do you have so many?

[Filled with fans' love] My fans give them to me all the time.

I have a question. Can I ask Sae Ho?

You can.

Do they have ages?

They don't have ages.

We just give them nicknames for fun.

[Ex. Wook Dong] Right, nicknames.

We don't treat them like they're alive or anything.

- They're just there. - Or do you

seat them at the table...

Huh?

And eat with them?

[That's me] I do that.

What?

[A real-life example out of nowhere] I have six chairs at my table

and there are two stuffed animals sitting on the chairs across from me.

I always eat by myself so it's nice to have some company.

It's weirdly comforting.

I never thought about it before but it's nice to have them around.

[Also lives in an impressive plushie kingdom] There are a lot at my house too.

Because of the kids.

We had someone on You Quiz on the Block

who fixes your worn out comfort plushie

- There's a stuffed animal hospital. - at a hospital for stuffed animals.

[About 50 to 100 cases a month] They perform surgery on them

[A lot of people are using this service] so they look as good as new.

A lot of people have blankets

- or stuffed animals - Right.

[Scents or textures are some of the reasons] that carry certain scents

[they become people's comfort items] that make them feel safe.

I had a blanket like that.

I had it since I was six until I was in middle school.

My mom wanted to get rid of it because it was too worn out

so she threw it out while I was at school.

When I found out that it was gone I cried and screamed.

Just because of a blanket.

[Discussion on comfort items sparked by Cho Rong] That's understandable.

- That happens. - It's like that.

With stuffed animals.

[Thought of a story about toys] I went to shoot in Australia once

and we went to a stuffed animal museum

but there weren't a lot of them there.

We were scheduled to shoot for two days but we finished in two hours.

- What did you do? - Hmm.

So they wanted me to somehow make it longer.

Did you pretend to be a stuffed animal?

[A clever idea]

They wanted me to do bits while we ate

to eat like a stuffed animal or something.

How could anyone do that?

[True story] They told me to make it entertaining

so they have enough footage.

It was just me so I couldn't make jokes with someone else.

There was nothing I could do.

- It's not an easy thing to do by yourself. - I know.

But I managed

[It all worked out fine] and they covered it with a lot of voice-overs.

That's good to hear.

Talking about this reminded me of that.

[Haha] There used to be a lot of reporting style shows.

It was about 25 years ago.

[Requests his favorite episode] There was that time when you two did one of those

[of Sae Ho and Chang Hee's reporting show] and the director told you

to do whatever you wanted.

[Request accepted] Okay, so

we were on a traveling show

[Haha] and we went to Tongyeong, Gyeongnam.

Tongyeong is nice.

[A natural friends' trip] It was supposed to be a best friends' trip.

We got there and the director seemed to be very experienced.

He was older.

[Relaxed] He looked like he knew what he was doing.

[After exchanging pleasantries] He said "Chang Hee, Sae Ho, have we met before?"

And then "No pressure, I'm just going to film you guys having fun on your trip.

Let's just do a fun opening first

and the rest is up to you guys.

I'll just start by panning up from your feet."

[Already laughing] So, we did the opening.

[Ending with a jump shot] He asked us to give him a jump.

- Okay! - Okay.

"From now on, it's up to you.

You can go eat wherever.

I'll get you walking over from there."

[Started walking and discussing lunch] So we were like "What should we get? Bulgogi?"

And he was like...

"Sorry?"

[Q. What was he trying to say?]

"You can tell us."

[Cut for a second] "I'm sorry

[Director in a bind] but for lunch

we can't just go and film anywhere so we asked a place in advance."

- He already had a place in mind. - "Where is that?"

[Director in a bind] "Naturally go get sea pineapple bibimbap."

"Sea pineapple bibimbap?"

Apparently, Tongyeong is known for its sea pineapple bibimbap.

- It's good. - So we

[Resuming the shoot] acted natural, saying "What should we eat?"

[Naturally?] "Sea pineapple bibimbap?"

[Successfully dribbled the bibimbap] "Sounds good, let's go."

So we had the bibimbap and then we were like

[The next instruction] "What should we do next?"

[Look around the city naturally] He wanted us to look around the city.

Naturally.

[Arrived at the city center] "We're here. Cue!"

[Q. What does he want this time?]

"Sorry?"

[The answer: Cable cars] "Go on the cable cars."

[The person who requested the story is happy] Remember?

The best part was

there's a really famous bridge

where the view is amazing at night.

[Talking about their future, naturally] So Chang Hee and I

were being positive about the future and stuff when he was like

[Starts a game of Whisper Challenge]

"What was that?"

[The answer] He wanted us to shout "I can do it."

So we did.

We stood on that bridge and yelled "I can do it! Bring it, world!"

[Crying]

He told them to do whatever they wanted

but they ended up doing whatever he told them to.

[An unforgettable friends' trip to Tongyeong] It's a true story, right?

[Proud of him] He's good at this type of storytelling.

These situations just suit him.

[Personal color: suppressed and puzzled] Puzzling situations where he's wronged.

By the way, we haven't eaten yet.

[They got too carried away chatting] I'm hungry.

Should we eat?

[Today's menu] What are we making today?

Dumpling tteokguk.

[With the egg garnish made with imegg] You can make the garnish with imegg.

Dong Wook, you should make the garnish.

I don't feel like it.

[Loses his will to fight]

You do it, you're good at it.

Yeah.

[Sparks a conversation] Dong Wook, you don't cook much, do you?

I don't.

I end up throwing away two thirds of the ingredients I buy.

- That's the problem. - It's a waste.

[Throws bait] Is there a dish you're good at making?

I can cook whatever, I just don't.

[Silbizip owner approved] He can cook.

I've made soy sauce gejang before.

- How? - Seriously?

Yeah, I was watching TV

and they were telling me how to make it

but the way they did it

[Saw an enticing recipe and decided to make it] was enticing.

So the next day I went to the market with my manager

and bought eight live crabs

[His first soy sauce gejang] washed and cut them, and made it.

That's crazy.

The recipe I got from the TV was this.

You usually boil the soy sauce for gejang, right?

But they made a veggie broth first.

[You make and cool the veggie broth first] Veggie broth?

You make a veggie broth and then cool it.

And you put the unboiled soy sauce in the broth

until you get the saltiness you like.

[The advantage of this method in his opinion] So you get the umami

[Easy to adjust the saltiness and enhances umami] and the light and clean taste from the broth.

It was very delicious.

That's great! We can make that on our rural getaway.

That's exactly what I thought.

Let's make soy sauce gejang there.

No, I forgot it all.

Let's go to a fishing village.

Do we catch the crab ourselves?

[Kind of against it] That's a lot of work.

[Agrees] Yeah, that would

- make things too complicated. - We need to buy the crab.

- We buy the crab? - We have to.

We don't know where we're going yet.

[Continues to fish] What else can you make?

- I make a pretty good samgyetang. - You can make samgyetang?

[The fisherman gently fishing for a recipe] It's hard to get the flavors right.

[Bites] No, that's not true.

Samgyetang is the easiest thing to make.

[Gotcha!] How do you make samgyetang?

You don't need anything else.

You just need about three bags of peeled garlic.

A bunch of it.

If there are spring onions you just break them in half and put them in too.

[In his opinion, there's nothing more to it] You don't need anything else.

- Nothing else? - You don't need any of the fancy aromatics.

[The fish is swimming to him on its own] You take the chicken out and eat it with the soup.

- And now you have the leftover soup. - Right.

Don't take out all of the whole garlic. Leave about one thirds

or one fourths in there

and smash them.

And just put thin dried noodles in there.

[Noodle-lover reacting] You don't cook the noodles separately.

Just put the dried noodles in there

and it becomes thick from the starch.

- It thickens. - That's really good.

[They haven't eaten and that sounds good] That sounds good.

I don't remember how to make it, though.

It sounds easy, what do you mean?

- I don't remember. - You just told us everything.

You just told us the recipe. You didn't forget.

I'll tell you the recipe. I just memorized it all.

[Entered into his brain] You just explained everything.

[Doesn't give up] Give me one more.

But wait.

- We have Chang Hee, he's a chef. - No, not at all.

[Just tell us your recipe] We want to know your recipes.

I make curry.

[Excited recipe audience] Curry, tell us.

Curry is the easiest thing to make in the world.

[Wow] So all three of them are easy.

[Happy] How do you make curry?

But it takes a long time for me to make curry

because I only put in onions and potatoes. I don't like carrots.

[Fellow carrot-hater already convinced] Right.

But carrots are what make it sweet.

So instead, to maximize the sweetness of the onions, I caramelize them.

[Has more cooking knowledge than expected] How do you do that?

You just keep stirring the onions in an oiled pan.

If you want to do it quicker

you can add a little bit of brown sugar.

Anyway, you have to cook it until the color looks like that coffee or this.

But I don't do it to that point.

I just cook it until the color is a light brown.

And then

I like it with lots of meat so I put in beef tenderloin.

[Good for texture] I cut it up into big chunks and pan-fry it

until the Maillard reaction occurs giving it a brown color.

- The Maillard reaction? - Wow, the Maillard reaction.

Then you pour water and put the curry cube in, that's it.

And you can add a bit of heavy cream at the end to taste.

[Never heard of that] Oh, heavy cream?

[Tries to reel it in] On our rural getaway, you should be the cook.

No, I forgot everything.

I don't remember a thing.

[The audience is baffled] You brought up caramelizing and everything.

[What was all that you just said, then?] Curry for lunch and samgyetang for dinner.

You just told us everything. What do you mean you forgot everything?

- He explained everything very clearly. - No, no.

[Keeps asking] I didn't know you were this good a cook.

- No, that was really all of it. - Tell us one more.

It seems like you know how to make just about anything.

Remember when you did Happy Together?

[He said no but here comes a fourth recipe] I went on there and made something called Casuni.

[The Night Snack segment from Happy Together] I put sundae in carbonara sauce.

[He developed the recipe for Casuni himself] I actually came up with that recipe.

[The story behind Casuni] What I was thinking was

that sundae can be noodles too. There are glass noodles inside.

So I just tried it out and it was good.

[He's reminded of Casuni] I remember Casuni, yeah.

But the key is to add lots of black pepper.

[Wait a second] That sounds good.

[Second attempt at reeling it in] That's four meals now.

But I don't remember anything.

He's driving me nuts.

[Dong Wook famously drives Jae Seok crazy] It's Seollal

and he's driving me crazy.

I don't remember.

You gave us detailed recipes. What do you mean you don't remember?

Oh, and also ragu pasta.

[He hands them the recipes now] We don't even need to ask anymore.

It does take some time

but if you make the sauce in bulk it's easy to just whip up the pasta.

That actually requires a lot of time and care.

- You have to simmer it for a long time. - You need to simmer it.

It does take a while.

We can start making it in the morning and have it for dinner.

- That would make it really good. - It would be great to make the sauce in bulk.

We can make lasagna.

[More than five meals now] Couldn't we also have it on bread?

If we have ragu sauce, it's easy to make lasagna.

You just get

an oven safe deep tray

and put the ragu, the lasagna, the ragu

and then cheese, more sauce, lasagna.

[Easy, right?] All you have to do is layer them.

That sounds delicious.

And between the layers

you can put zucchini and eggplant like a ratatouille.

- See? He knows everything. - That sounds really good.

This is the most enthusiastic you’ve been in all our conversations today.

But I really don't remember anything.

[Real-time flipping performance] We should definitely go in March or April.

He's driving me nuts.

He's dressed like he's a patient

and we're all here visiting him at the hospital.

I don't feel good.

[Cho Rong and the Last Leaf]

Oh, he's pushing my buttons.

- I don't feel good. - He's pushing all of my buttons.

Cho Rong.

[About to go crazy] He pushes my buttons, but he's good at this.

[Chooses not to hear] Cho Rong, I don't feel so good.

Look, when it was like this

it covered the mic so I moved it.

[Natural-born YouTuber]

- If I do this way, it covers Wook Dong. - He's born to be in front of cameras.

[Dying] So I put it this way.

[Soy sauce gejang, samgyetang, curry Casuni, ragu sauce]

[Asleep after reciting five recipes] He drives me crazy.

[He made everyone's blood sugar drop] Let's make some tteokguk.

Give me something to do.

- We'll all do it together. - What do I do?

Go wash your hands.

[The two went off to wash their hands] He tells a grown, married man to wash his hands.

I've been telling him for 14 years to wash his hands.

[Taking a look at the kitchen in the meantime] Wait a second.

[The kitchen area] Let's see.

[feat. groaning Dong Wook gets up too]

Didn't you use this same picture last time?

[Correct! The Seollal episode backdrop has been the same for the last three years]

[The sheets are the same too] We've been using it for three years.

This?

Yeah, but it shrunk.

[Slightly shrinking every year] Oh, it shrunk a little.

Why? Because you washed it?

[Squirming] Yeah, and we put in the dryer.

I know, I really like these sweatpants

[Sad] but I put them in the dryer.

[The pants shrunk] Did they shrink?

They did.

Oh, they shrunk.

I thought you just liked that fit.

- It looks good, they show off your socks. - I know.

[Unintentional fashion moment] But I've been wearing high socks

[Fashion is about going your own way] so it doesn't look bad.

[Jae Seok and Dong Wook also washed their hands] It's nice to cook together on Seollal.

[Feels like the holidays] It really feels like Seollal now.

[Starting with the egg garnish for the Tteokguk] It does.

We get together and make food.

This is imegg's

[Liquid eggs you pour from the carton] carton of whole eggs.

[No egg shells! / imegg!] With both the whites and the yolks.

[Pours it straight into the pan] This is very convenient.

[Curious]

Wow, that's really it.

You could make scrambled eggs with this.

You could make steamed eggs too.

[Silbizip owner is interested] That's crazy.

It's actually really convenient.

[Almost done already] Look at this!

- It's done, it's cooked through already. - You should still...

- It's done. - Flip it over.

[Conflict] Shouldn't we flip it?

[Lands on flipping it] You don't have to.

It's still liquid on top.

[A fairly successful flip] That was good.

Wasn't it?

Applause!

[Good friends who go along with it] Absolutely perfect.

- This is good stuff. - It really is.

The eggs seem fresh too.

We can't help but all stare.

[Can't take their eyes off]

[First, the poached eggs and now this] You're all like...

Isn't it satisfying?

[He's happy about Dong Wook blending in] If Dong Wook is happy, so am I.

I keep staring at it.

[First sheet tossed onto a cutting board] I'll pass it on to you.

I'll cut it.

It would be better to cool it first.

- It's very hot. - It's fine.

[Checks the temperature]

Could you make a few more sheets so that we can eat them?

I'll cut it this big.

- Let's try one first. - Let's give this one a taste test.

[Can't take their eyes off]

[Egg factory is running]

That's a nice sound.

That's good to hear on Seollal.

[A taste-test sheet]

Give it a try.

I cut it for us to try.

Mm.

The texture is so soft.

- It's great. - It's beaten well.

[One more piece] This big?

It's a nice breakfast.

Mm, it's so good.

It's great.

Stop cutting and give me that piece.

- You're having more? - Yeah, one more piece.

- He's making a new one, it's okay. - Wait a second.

It's good on its own.

[Anxious] Stop cutting it.

That's enough.

[Chang Hee wanted a big piece] You're eating all of this?

Just roll it up.

- Do you want this? - You can eat it.

- Roll it up and eat it. - Give it to Jae Seok.

[Obedient]

Captain, are you filleting fish?

How the garnish looks matters.

- It's like he's filleting fish on a boat. - A matroos.

[A juicy fillet of egg] It's like you're filleting fish on a fishing boat.

That's great.

[Staring at him eat]

Mm, that's so good.

[They kept making and eating]

Oh, hot.

Ow! That's hot.

[But matroos Cho doesn't stop] Captain.

We're on your boat

[Serious] and you've just caught some fresh egg.

[The crew is well-fed thanks to him] Thank you, captain.

This is great.

[Nodding] Egg tastes better on a boat, wow.

It's better when you've just woken up on a boat.

That's right.

[Dressed for breakfast] This is great.

Like I'm on a cruise.

Chang Hee, start making the tteokguk over there.

Please give us some ketchup.

[Nom] Oh, right, should I start it?

Don't you have ketchup?

[Dong Wook has ketchup now]

Give this to Jae Seok.

[That gentleman over there sent you this] Have some.

It's fish with sweet and sour gochujang.

Mm, that's good.

We're going to end up finishing that carton.

[It's actually possible] We really are.

[Starts making tteokguk] Making tteokguk with Dong Wook.

Let's get into it.

[Survey] Do you like your rice cakes on the chewier side

or the softer side?

Uh, make them just right.

[The hardest instruction] That's a lot to ask.

[Next survey] Should I cut it like this or cut it in half first?

Whatever you prefer. We don't mind.

[Matroos Cho is free and now the spring onion is being filleted]

- Going in with all of it. - Go ahead.

[The eggs keep stacking up]

[Haha] It's like an egg party.

Do you want to try the egg whites?

[Everyone says yes] A thin sheet of egg whites, please.

Can I get a carton of egg whites?

[Passing the liquid egg whites]

Give this to the staff too.

[Everyone agrees again] Yeah, on a plate.

It's really good.

- It's good, try. - Give it to them.

[The crew is generous] You should try some.

It's like you're passing out rice cakes.

[Freshly made egg sheets instead of rice cakes] Have a taste.

Pass it around like you're passing out rice cakes on moving day.

[Done giving out rice cakes] It's fine, we're okay now.

[Nom]

Do we still have some left for the tteokguk?

This is for the tteokguk.

I made so many sheets and that's all we have?

[These gentlemen ate them all up] They ate them all. We still have the egg whites.

I'm curious about

just the yolks too.

- Should we try that too? - Yeah, let's try it.

[Are we doing this right?]

- Let's try it all. - Let's try it.

Instead of jeon on Seollal

it's not a bad idea to straight up eat eggs like this.

[The egg white sheet is done] It's not bad to just have eggs.

It's harder to do it with white eggs because they're softer.

[Chang Hee's cooking information] Is there a way to do it better?

[It's better if you go thinner and smaller] Make it thin

[on a low heat with egg whites] and small instead of making it big.

I'm learning something.

Don't worry too much. We're cutting it up anyway.

- It doesn't have to be perfect. - I'll cut it up.

He can bring it back to life.

[Shape doesn't matter when you eat it] I'm getting better and better.

Could we get the egg yolks?

[The egg yolks are up next] Yeah, we want to try.

Egg yolks are easier.

[Chang Hee's cooking information Yolks are denser, making them easier to manage]

[You can see the difference already] Ah, I see.

[Nam Chang Hee / Cooking expert, making Tteokguk] You're not letting us down as our cooking expert.

[Using the ladle so they don't make a splash] He's not the owner of Silbizip for nothing.

You know the steamed eggs you get at Japanese restaurants?

- Yes, they're called chawanmushi. - Right, chawanmushi.

[About to move] Do you know how to make that too?

- Of course I do. - It's Nam Chang Hee, he can make anything.

[Moves over] Chang Hee.

[All that's left to do is let it boil] Finish it off.

[Leaves it to the cooking expert]

[The egg yolk sheet is done] Captain, the yolk sheet is done.

[Interested]

I'll show you a real egg party today.

Can you cut them into little diamonds?

[A new mission for the captain] You know, like in the cookbooks.

[Cut the eggs into diamond shapes] Diamonds? Okay.

[How does that work? / Diamonds?] [All eyes on him]

[The captain is pretty good at it] Oh, like that.

Like this.

[Halts]

- Is the size okay? - Sure, that's fine.

[Haha]

[He's so proud of them] Like that.

- Were you talking about something like this? - I was, yes.

[The captain is cutting diamond shapes as if this were an exam]

Captain, what are you doing?

He told me to cut diamond shapes.

[Another sheet of eggs] It's almost done.

I've never cut so many sheets of egg in my life.

[A unique experience]

That's enough, we can eat now.

[Sizzle]

Last one.

[Dong Wook starts looking around] I love eggs.

People on a diet would love this product.

Absolutely.

[Lies down]

We finished this carton.

What is he doing?

[Lying down] Sure, lie down for a bit.

That's actually an accurate depiction of Seollal.

The eldest son on Seollal.

He is like the eldest son, isn't he?

[The eldest son is lying in the back] The tteokguk is done now.

[The tteokguk and the diamonds are nicely done] This is the shape.

- Right? - Yes, that's right.

Why do you seek his approval so much?

He's a more experienced cook than I am.

[This radio show is funny] I'm planning on maybe

[A little TMI] doing some sort of content like

"A new husband cooking for his wife."

[The rolled omelette side dish is ready too] I'm thinking about doing something like that.

[Applause!]

[The eldest son senses mealtime] Is it all done?

It's already cut up. Why put it on the cutting board?

[It's probably out of habit] It's okay.

- That can be our side dish. - We have everything covered.

[Fighting the feisty fresh omelette]

I made a rolled omelette.

Gosh, captain, isn't it hot?

With spirit, anything is possible.

[Steaming] That's great, captain.

[Time to get ready to eat] Let's get some ketchup on that.

We're having a great time thanks to imegg.

imegg in full swing.

imegg is in full swing today.

[Squeezing ketchup] [Preparing the tteokguk]

The eldest son is helping out.

[Does his best]

[The plating looks great]

Not bad, huh?

A little less spring onion on mine, please.

[You can customize tteokguk garnishes on the boat] Okay, I'll put just a little bit.

- Just that much. - Thanks.

[Haha]

Dong Wook seems happy.

You made 500 egg sheets and that's all he's using.

[This is funny to him] It's funny.

Captain, there's a lot of egg left there.

Why are you being so stingy?

I'm putting just a little bit so you can add to your taste.

Plating does matter.

You still need to put more eggs, though.

It's supposed to be just a garnish.

[Natural-born YouTuber] Make a pretty one for the insert.

[It doesn't look like much, but they put their hearts into preparing the tteokguk]

It looks delicious.

You have to put in a lot of dried seaweed.

[Adding saltiness]

- You need this much. - Get a shot of me cleaning up.

[Getting it]

Captain, join us.

Go ahead! I had a lot already.

[Haha] He had a lot.

[A kind captain that tells white lies] Captain, come join us.

[The captain's best friend giving him seaweed] Cleaning up is the most important thing.

The oldest person should eat first, captain.

I realized that cleaning is very important.

[They "go ahead" like the captain told them to]

Wow, that's delicious.

- Is it good? - It's really good.

[Unintentionally eating according to age] That's so good.

Mm.

[Slurping the soup first]

- It's good, right? - Wow, that's a vibe.

[Tteokguk is a vibe] It's good.

Adding a bunch of seaweed makes it so much better.

Food tastes better when you're eating it on a table like this.

[Everything about this meal is satisfactory] That's so good.

It's nice to have tteokguk at the beginning of the year.

I know.

[Dong Wook's first tteokguk this year] Right, this is my first tteokguk.

[A thick piece of omelette]

It's good.

Jae Seok's rolled omelette.

[Tries the omelette as well] [Continuing on his dumpling path]

[Also trying the omelette] [In one bite]

[Nice] It's so good with the ketchup.

It's good.

[Ketchup refill] Is the Japan meet-and-greet in Tokyo?

Yeah.

What do you do at meet-and-greets?

I just stand there.

[His nonchalant reply is annoying but it's funny]

Don't say that.

He prepares so much for the meet-and-greets.

I know that.

[Has been in one of his meet-and-greet videos] I've been in the video.

Right? You know.

- Tteokguk is the best on Seollal. - I know.

[They're always quiet when they eat]

[Scraping the bottom of the bowl]

It's good to see you eat well.

[Dong Wook is done eating as well]

[Applauds out of nowhere]

[Nobody cares anyway]

Well.

[Tries to wrap it up] Thank you for having me over for Seollal.

[Not affected] Now it's time for us to really get into it.

[Not affected by that either] [Finds it funny]

[Doesn't cease trying to escape] Thank you for the tteokguk.

To everyone watching

I hope you stay healthy and safe and sound this year.

Let's clean up

and then talk some more.

[Something else escapes instead of Dong Wook]

[Oops]

[Looking around]

[Never-ending conversation] It's what Dong Wook hates the most.

[Nonchalantly hands him a tissue]

[Last spurt of dumpling-eating]

It's good to see you eat well.

[Finished]

[Stretch]

Oh, these are not my chopsticks.

[Got the egg-frying chopsticks] They're too long.

I thought that was a magic trick.

[Egg mukbang with magic chopsticks] Sae Ho.

Do you know about the long chopsticks in hell?

[Proceeds to talk about the afterlife] Right, they try to eat like this.

But they can't.

They can't eat in hell because they're all trying to feed themselves.

You're supposed to feed each other.

You need to help each other.

[POV you're not interested in what bro is saying] In heaven, they have the same chopsticks

[No interest] but they feed each other.

That was funny.

[Pinggyego]

[Everyone is full] I'll pick it up.

[Reaches] It's warm in here.

[Acquires an item]

- Should we play gong-gi? - Oh, they have gong-gi stones.

[Some more fuel Strawberries and chestnuts for dessert]

Are you trying to get us to stay longer?

[Correct] So we can talk more?

You're not supposed to play gong-gi on this.

We need to get rid of the sheets

[Agrees to remove the sheets] and do it on the floor.

[Disagrees] It's fine.

- We should get rid of it. - We need less friction.

Oh.

[He is ISFP He doesn't want to move]

- For the tricks to work. - How inconvenient.

[Please move] So I have to get up?

Sae Ho.

Could you move the table as well?

[Does what he's told] We're really getting into it now.

I'm pretty good at gong-gi.

Right, Sae Ho is a good gong-gi player.

He wanted to show how good he is.

- What? No, he's the one who suggested it. - Really?

[That person has already cleared one level] You're also good.

Could we have the strawberries, please?

[Level two doesn't look good]

[Starts as the strawberries are delivered] Strawberries are expensive these days.

Those would be hard to pick up.

You have to use the sweeping technique. I used to be good at that.

Can I move?

[Keeps etiquette and asks first] Yes, you can.

I heard the rules are different everywhere.

- I'm sorry but could you move? - Here, take my seat.

[Eyes on the gong-gi stones]

[Offers a strawberry while he fails to sweep]

That was close.

- I'm out. - It was a close one.

[Finally has a bite of the strawberry] [Right to level five]

[Not a chance] Why are you doing that already?

Relax, I'm going to do it all.

[The energy of a master player]

[Revisiting memories] We used to have Baekdusan too.

[Baekdusan: Throwing the stones higher than your eyeline]

- There were a bunch of different rules. - You're good at this.

You need to say "Kong kong."

[Kong kong: When you miss a stone at first but you catch it after it bounces off your hand]

[It counts as long as you say "Kong kong" first]

[Already on level four] You're so good.

[Grab]

[Proud]

You'd live if you were in SQUID GAME.

[Next player] You would stay alive.

You would've won the 45.6 billion.

[Touch / Miss] I'm already screwed.

[The energy of a not-so-good player]

[Happy]

[Bad at it] Hold on.

[The triangle soldier rules] You're dead.

[Level two] I'll split it like this.

[Bad at it]

[Still bad at it]

[Haha]

[Failed level two but moves on to level three illegally]

That was good.

Do you lose your grip?

The stones keep falling out.

Wow, I haven't seen a spinning top in such a long time.

[Found the next thing to play with] Such a long time.

- You have to make a little loop. - Right.

[Making a knot at the end]

Like this, and then like this.

[Rolling]

[You roll it up and then hold the end of it]

[Whoosh] Is it going to work?

[The little cousins are excited] That was good.

Do you remember this?

[A trick to redeem himself after the gong-gi] Yeah.

[They forgot about talking] I forgot how to do it.

[and continue to play traditional games] Okay.

[Haha]

[Another success from the spinning top uncle]

It's spinning well.

[Look at my spinning top]

Do the trick!

Just like that.

[A different technique this time] Remember this one?

- Do you know this? - Bring it back to life.

- You need to do that. - Bring it back!

[Wanted to go home before] [On his knees]

Bringing back the dying top.

Give it a try.

[Success] Nice.

I used to...

[Attempts to make it bounce onto his hand] Yeah, put it on your hand.

[Attacks himself instead]

- You did that for comedy. - No, I didn't.

[Goes his own way] You think you're the only one who can do that?

Sae Ho, you do the jegi.

Hey, what are you doing?

[The Front Man keeps telling them to play games] What is this?

Sae Ho can do the jegi.

Four.

Five.

[The triangle soldier rules] You live.

[Now they're playing ddakji] You need to hit the center.

You're good at this.

Whoa, you're really good.

- I'll do the gong-gi. - I would've survived in Squid Game.

You can do the ddakji and Chang Hee...

- I'll do the spinning top. - And Dong Wook can do the flying stone.

[Voluntarily joins SQUID GAME] Should we try it then?

Let's see if we'll survive.

You do the jegi.

[Player 001 joins in] Do whatever you're best at.

[Squid Game Two / Five-player relay games] Time us please.

[A group of five people go around the tracks] Let's pretend we're in the game.

[and each person plays one game choosing from ddakji, flying stone, gong-gi, spinning top, jegi]

[finishing in five minutes to survive] I guess this is how we do it.

We have to finish in four minutes

because they did five games in five minutes.

[Strict on themselves, takes away one minute] They did five in five, so we get four minutes.

[Enjoy watching from the POV of the VIPs] Then it's me, Sae Ho...

And then me.

- And Dong Wook goes last. - That's a lot of pressure.

[We don't know why, but they're very serious] Fighting.

Start!

[The ddakji king defends his throne] You're really good at this.

[Gong-gi ace in the house] Fighting.

[Serious] This takes a long time.

- Take your time. - Take it slow, there's time.

[A rare sight to see where they're all being nice] We have time because we don't walk in between.

[Slips up in level three] You have to do it over.

Do it over, you can do this.

You touched the stone.

[They're very strict about the rules] We still have time.

You can take your time.

[Starting to get mad] There's still time.

- You're going to die. - You were doing better earlier, what's wrong?

- Be quiet back there. - This is going to get us killed.

Come on.

[Calm down] We still have time.

Slow down, just like you did before.

[Moving on to level five with their cheer]

[They passed, but gong-gi took up a lot of time] Okay, we got it.

- What's your game? - I have to spin the top.

Are you just starting that now?

[Hasn't seen season two yet] Yeah, I have to start now.

[Keeps calm, wraps the rope, and holds it]

[Attacks the camera]

- Hurry up. - Are you okay?

Wow, things like these happen.

They do.

- See? - I was doing good earlier.

Now imagine those soldiers are standing next to you.

[SQUID GAME 4D experience]

That would make you even more nervous.

- I was so nervous playing gong-gi. - This is really nerve-racking.

[The last player's mouth is drying] I know.

[For the player who wins this game] What if I can't kick it five times?

[there isn't a prize of 45.6 billion won] I'm not allowed to practice, either.

You're not.

[Spinning top second attempt]

Oh, I did it!

[This player is good at announcing] Pass!

[The first attempt at jegi, 90 seconds in] How much time do we have left?

[Fail] I got it.

Is it over if he drops it?

[Second attempt] One, two

three, four

five.

[They passed in approximately 100 seconds]

Pass!

We're alive.

[Once again, neither their lives or a cash prize was on the line]

We survived SQUID GAME.

Next team, go.

[Happy just by imagining it] We're alive, thank god.

You were so good at it before but when we were up there...

[Sharing stories about the game] You guys were shouting at me and I couldn't do it.

The top wouldn't spin either.

We got together on Seollal shared some food, and even played SQUID...

We played traditional games.

How about playing the SQUID GAME this Seollal?

[Would you like to join the game?] This was fun.

It would be fun to play with family.

With squirt guns.

For a little bit of prize money.

That would be a lot of fun.

[Pinggyego]

[ChoNam Zone news: Comeback in February] ChoNam Zone is making a comeback late February.

A comeback...

[The word feels too grandiose] Don't use that word.

- Why? It is a comeback. - It is, but...

You should do a mini concert and invite our viewers.

[Making plans again] That would be great.

Right? But are you able to perform live?

I was wondering that.

If you're going to do a concert you need to be able to do that.

That's a hard question for the artists themselves to answer

[Their representative] so I will.

One of them can perform live, but the other can't.

Figuring out which one can and which one can't

- is up to you guys. - They can come and find out.

But you've been practicing.

After this, I have a vocal lesson.

[There's a reason behind him asking this] I'm worried because

they once came on You Quiz on the Block

and did a live performance

[No excuses] at Seokchon Lake.

That disappointed me greatly.

But I mean, what do you expect from ChoNam Zone?

[ChoNam Zone's representative is back at it again] Look.

Were you expecting them to sound like professional singers?

- No, I wasn't. - See? You weren't.

The focus point for them should be how funny they are.

Wait, listen to me.

Chang Hee was also bad that day.

I didn't do a very good job.

He came in too strong with the harmonies.

I was startled.

His harmonies came in like a tank.

- I was like "Whoa." - "After all this time," that part?

[YuDong Zone]

[They sang a different song on You Quiz] That day, we sang "She Calls Me Friend."

[Harmony tank]

[They're secretly the biggest fans of ChoNam Zone]

After that.

You don't even remember which part it was.

[They want to pay their fans back with hard work] "So I don't regret it later," it's that part.

[Let's try it! / Let's go!] So I don't regret it

[One note] later

Why are you singing the same note as me?

- You need to go low. - It's not supposed to be like that.

[Making excuses] Wait, we'll try again.

One, two.

[Retry] So I don't regret it

later

[An unheard-of harmony] It's not working.

Wait.

Who's financing this comeback?

[Genuinely curious]

A third party is.

Hey, come on.

[The fans are fighting] Why would you ask something like that?

I'm just so grateful for the benefactor.

[An artist who loves to sing]

[An old fan who loves the artist]

[Fan service]

Ha

[Ending fairy] This isn't in the song.

This is not in the streaming version

but he keeps doing this when we sing live.

[Ha] It's what experienced singers do.

They give variations to the song. He keeps doing that.

Like when Kim Soo Hee sings "A Southbound Train."

[The ad libs of an experienced singer]

I got better.

You sound good today.

- If only we had a performance scheduled today. - You don't need vocal lessons.

[The praise keeps coming] Go record a song.

Please host us.

[Strict about the mini concert] You really do have to sing live.

We will, the two of us can come and sing here.

How many songs can you do?

[Including the soon-to-be-released new songs] Four songs including the new ones.

Hey, you guys can do a meet-and-greet.

[The planning is getting more detailed] You guys can do four songs?

And Sae Ho can do some of his bits.

Do the belly thing.

The belly thing?

[ChoNam Zone Fan Meet-and-greet (Confidential) Place: Antenna Plus office]

[Set list: 4 songs / Other bits: Under discussion] The belly thing at a concert?

- Does it not fit in? - I can do it, but...

If we're going to do this we have to strictly invite

only the people who really want to see ChoNam Zone.

We need to do that.

There's a way to prove that you're a real fan.

You can't just let them apply.

But that would be way too complicated.

- Well, no. - No one would come.

[What if no one comes because it's too complicated?]

Real fans wouldn't feel like it's too complicated.

- Wouldn't they? - What if they're not such big fans?

[The second fight between fans] What if they're not?

- There should be a screening process. - Dong Wook, what if they're not such big fans?

[An example question] For example, what was Sae Ho's

[What was Cho Sae Ho's first TV apperance] first TV appearance

[and what was his role?] and what's the story behind

[The answer: SBS's Truth or Dare, Cymbal player] the prop that he used back then?

That's how you get only the real fans.

- We don't even remember that. - Come on.

The appropriate level of difficulty would be like an acrostic poem of ChoNam Zone.

[Qualifications: Must be good at acrostic poems] That's the appropriate level.

Cho.

[Demonstrates] Chosen to come see us try our best.

Nam, numbers are limited but we give you our everything.

Zo, zodiac signs don't matter when it comes to having fun with us.

Ne.

Never regret being our fans again.

[Applauds the perfect example] That was good.

[Passes the baton] I don't need to do it.

[It's only fair] Chang Hee, try.

[Immense pressure] Cho.

Choice is not a thing for us when it comes to good music.

Nam, name everything you want to see.

Zo, zoom into our world.

[The downside of this: Embarrassment]

This is why we need a fan verification process.

Are you going to play any instruments?

- Do you play anything? - I play a little bit of the danso.

But you don't play it in your songs.

No, I can't do that.

It's just a bit he does.

[Who is this meet-and-greet for?] We'll bring an amp.

You can play the danso as a bit then.

[Other bits: Playing the danso] But it's not super exciting.

I tried it a few times, and it's not great.

[Live performance guaranteed] At least guarantee that you'll sing live.

We'll sing four songs live.

[Other bits: Playing the danso, dancing] And do one dance.

[Never discussed] A dance?

[We want a dance] You need to do at least one.

That's right, you need to.

Even Dong Wook does those in this meet-and-greets.

Yes, I do.

Did you not see him dance to Plot Twist by TWS?

What kind of dance are we going to do?

Let's do POWER by GD, that's good.

Power, Power

[Too much power]

I'm flying

Flying high

[A staff member is crying-laughing] She's excited to see us dance.

Eun Sol, are you coming?

Oh, you aren't?

- She's not coming. - She said no.

She's not coming into work that day.

[A little misunderstanding]

I'm laughing because of his POWER.

[Glad to hear that]

[power in lower case]

- He's such a big GD fan. - I am, I'm a huge fan.

[Battery dying] Okay, so we got together for Seollal...

- And... - Power, power

I like that song too.

Power, power

Flying high

[Very happy with the service he's provided] Cheer up. Pump up your energy!

Well, anyway...

Don't call me when you're doing that.

[Sad to hear that] I'll watch it on my phone.

- Jae Seok, MC our showcase please. - You should be the special guest.

[Accepts] I'll MC your showcase.

That's why you need a fan verification process.

Right, people are going to come to see Jae Seok.

[Narrated by: Yu Jae Seok] I think it'd be better if I didn't show myself.

That's true.

[For ChoNam Zone, by ChoNam Zone] So people don't do that.

[of ChoNam Zone] You need to come to see ChoNam Zone.

There's something I'm very grateful for, my fan site.

I have to go home soon.

Oh, I see.

[Awkward]

Wait, so do I. It's noon already.

- He has to go to his vocal lesson. - I need to go to my lesson.

I told him last night

to not talk too much.

- But he's just not capable. - He can't do that.

[A natural-born storyteller] He was born this way.

Let's go around the room and say a New Year's greeting to our viewers.

I'm glad to be here on Seollal again.

I'm grateful and happy.

I'll do my best on Pinggyego this year as well.

The rural getaway is soon to come.

That and other projects too.

We haven't done the desert island thing yet.

[We'll try to make them happen one by one]

We'll do our best.

Stay healthy everyone, and happy new year!

I'm more grateful than ever that I get to work together with you guys.

This year

I will try my best to put a smile on more people's faces

and I hope I'll make more fun memories with you here on Pinggyego.

The frog is asleep, wake it up.

[Morning call]

It's up now.

Gyewons, I hope you have

a great rest of the Seollal holidays.

I know I always say this

but stay healthy

and I hope you'll be safe and sound this year.

Happy New Year.

Oh, and also

[H.N.Y.] thank you, imegg.

- Bye! - Thank you.

[Bye-bye!]

- Jae Seok: Improve your vocal skills so we can - ChoNam Zone: Of course!

Jae Seok: see you guys perform live.

Dong Wook: Promise to make me a star this year.

Jae Seok: Of course, I'll make you a star.

Chang Hee: You have to tilt your head up when you sing.

Sae Ho: Tilt it up.
