[34-second preview] Looking at that, I was so...
Wow, really...
You must be so happy, Dong Hwi.
Your CEO is the best!
I first got a named role when I was 28 or 29.
What did you do before that?
I graduated.
Why are you talking about graduating right now?
Huh? Why now?
I went to school.
Rather than crying like this,
sniff...
It's like this...
[Because it's so nice out, and so bright out...]
[Nice breeze too]
[Escaped from the office Came to grab some coffee]
[Getting introduced to new friends today (Just an excuse)]
[We will get chatty and have a blast!]
[Pinggyego!]
Should I get
[Gyeju is here first] coffee or something else?
[Scanning the menu] I want to order something else..
[Thinking about the menu right away]
Ah! Milkshake?
[*Not a paid promotion Craving something sweet today]
Can I get 5 Roasted Grain Shake?
Sure.
It's been a while since we were here!
As you can tell, we are usually here
with drama or movie actors!
Since this cafe suits the vibe,
we decided to come here today.
[Been only shooting in the office] It's nice to be out here
[First outdoor shooting of the year] after shooting inside all the time.
Hello!
[Relaxed Dong Hwi has arrived]
Hello!
You dressed up like a gentleman today.
I dressed up a bit...
Since I came too comfortably lately,
[Wanting to tease] I put extra care today.
[Coincidentally both are wearing cardigans] Cardigan...
- Décalcomanie... - Oh, yeah.
I like cardigans too.
I do too.
[Feeling like a blind date for some reason] You can order there.
[Dong Hwi ordered iced Americano] One iced Americano...
We have Dong Hwi and Je Hoon today.
[EP.40 The new start is just an excuse] The one Seok-Jin called
[Which Je Hoon? One with a sharp nose?] the one with a sharp nose.
I have another thing I have to mention.
Finally!
I heard Hoyeon is preparing
[Preparing Hoyeon's visit to Pinggyego!] to show off her wit!
[Not actually comedians Big comedy battle coming soon]
- I heard. - You heard?
She seems... Very excited about it.
[Happy just thinking about it...] In my perspective...
[Watching point with Hoyeon] I am very looking forward to seeing
if she would be doomed
[Eyeing on his rival] or actually show off how funny she is.
That's so funny.
I have never actually talked
with both of them elsewhere before.
The difficult part is that
you are actually close with Hoyeon.
[Since the Gyeju is close with both of them] She actually sees you
[They keep talking about her] more often than I do...
I see Hoyeon often.
[Hoyeon also goes to the same gym] You guys go to the same gym.
She sees you more often
than I do.
[Shocked] Really?
Yeah.
Well Hoyeon has been more busy lately shooting a movie and stuff.
The opposite...
She sees you more...
Oh, yes she does.
That's not possible...
[Bit of a misunderstanding] That sounded a bit weird.
I don't see Hoyeon more than you...
- No. - Exactly.
I see Hoyeon more often how much I see Dong Hwi.
Exactly.
Let me get it straight.
Something sounded wrong...
[Was also shocked] I was also thrown off...
[Clarifying one more time] Dong Hwi and Hoyeon, not Hoeyon and I.
That's not it!
It feels so different to see you here again.
[Union is an excuse] When I was here with Haneul last summer...
[That was last August...] That was summer already?
Yeah.
Last summer?
It feels like that was yesterday.
It feels more like yesterday to me
because I watch that video every 3 days.
- ... Which one? - The one with Haneul and I.
- I think it's still so funny. - It was so funny.
[Unexpected chemistry of the three] That episode of you with Haneul was good.
Really...
Actually, Haneul and Dong Hwi were here for different promotions
[Oh yeah!] at the same time.
They didn't shoot anything together.
- I was so flustered. - Exactly.
[Interesting promotion]
Usually, people from the same work come to promote together.
Yeah, but unexpectedly,
- (Boom) It's funny! - (Clap) it's funny!
K.WILL and BYUL came to miniPinggyego together
[Fun Fact) They did not release a duet] without any promotions
[K.WILL's album is not out yet] together.
[=Just a reunion of the two] It was still fun in its own way.
When I come to Pinggyego,
I think I raise the view count by 300K myself.
[Casually confesses his self-love] I watch my own videos nonstop.
I don't know why I find it so funny.
I find episodes with myself hilarious!
That's good!
[We support such self-love] That's necessary!
You need to love yourself!
To analyze a bit,
you are a legend...!
Your ability to make a character at the right moment!
I can't disagree with that!
[Practicing self-love right away]
[Cheers!]
I can't disagree!
I watch it like VAR
and determine
[Actor who is so serious about being funny] this is how this character formed!
You always created big laughs every time you came.
Today, Dong Hwi is actually here...
[Bluntly starting to promote] Some of you may already know.
[Chief Detective 1958] It's an MBC drama.
[Fooled you?] We will talk about it
once the man with a sharp nose arrives.
Rather than being here to promote,
I am here to share Je Hoon's...
Is Je Hoon older than you?
1 year older.
[Meanwhile, Je Hoon has arrived] I wanted to treat Je Hoon like a guest
- while I am here like a sub-MC. - That's your goal.
[Hiding to surprise them...] Really...
[Caught] He must be here.
[Peekaboo]
[Even nicer to see him in a while]
[Tight] How have you been?
So refreshing.
One with a sharp nose!
[Hehe]
[Formal greeting] Seok-Jin called him the guy with a sharp nose.
One with a sharp nose.
[Putting the mic on first]
You should go order something to drink!
Oh, of course!
[Can't help but be proud for him] He is so good-looking.
Today's Gyewons!
[Here]
[There] Along with Dong Hwi,
[Serious about making eye contact with the camera] we have Je Hoon here with us today!
What have you been up to?
Today...
- I was at another YouTube channel for promotion. - Another one?
You are so busy! Promotions nowadays
require a lot of shoothing for YouTube channels.
I don't think we need to shoot more.
We're here!
[Caught the signal] We we talking about
how we should mostly focus on Pinggyego.
Do you like chatting like this
or no?
I don't think I have ever... Done a shooting
- where I just sit and talk like this. - No?
I was so worried last night too.
Pfft...
Every time I come here, I want to be funny.
[Promoting is just an excuse... Anxiety of being funny ON]
Are you being chased?
[Crying...] Are you being chased by laughs?
I am being chased a lot!
I want to set a new view count record every time I come,
[Anxiety of laughs, entertainment, view counts] and make people laugh.
If I go on PInggyego with Je Hoon...
Would it be funny?
[Calls himself boring] I was a bit worried
- Why? - because
[Actually...!] some of you may already know,
but he is the CEO of my entertainment company.
[Technically his boss] Really?!
I am under his company.
CEO!
I didn't know Je Hoon was a CEO!
What's your company?
It's called Company On...
I am operating a company right now.
[CEO Mode] We were able to have
actor Lee Dong Hwi join us earlier this year.
How did I not know that?
So you made his way in for Chief Detective?
[Making rumors while promoting]
- No? - Not at all!
It's not how it works nowadays! Let me make it clear!
- While shooting for Chief Datective... - Chief Datective?
[Fact 1) Started shooting for the drama before he joined the company]
[Fact 2) They're here to promote the drama] While shooting for the drama,
[Will promote later] I got the chance to join his company.
That's what happened...
How long has it been since you established the company?
Almost 3 years.
When I talk to Je Hoon,
I'm the one usually talking
and he is a super good listener.
[Nods]
The reason why I joined his company
because he just looks...
Trustworthy!
Trustworthy nose!
Trustworthy academic history!
[Curious] What school did he...?
[Korea National University of Arts] K-ARTS!
But I've only attended for 1 year.
[Wait!] Wait, Dong Hwi...
You teased me...
For not graduating Seoul Institute of the Arts
[Looks odd] but he only attended 1 year!
Well... To be honest...
I just learned about that part!
You didn't know?
[Did you know?] He is sensitive about graduating!
- (Understood) He graduated. - He did.
I debated if I should keep distant from him for a second
but I decided I couldn't because
- Yeah, he is your CEO. - he is my CEO.
[CEO is excluded from his straight face] If I made a straight face at my CEO...
[Asking the CEO] Well even though
he is your coworker, he is also an actor in your company, right?
Yes.
How is he as a CEO?
Is it easy to control Dong Hwi?
When signing the contract,
it was not a very easy process.
[About how he is introducing his CEO rather than his friend...]
He is quite sensitive about those.
Yeah. Just for your information,
I am also an actor in my company,
and actor Lee Dong Hwi signed a contract with better conditions than I did.
Hahaha
[Reiterating] Although you established a company
and is also an actor under the company,
[Wanted to treat Dong Hwi better] Dong Hwi's conditions are better?
That's right.
The CEO has a great mindset!
Of course.
He puts his actors ahead of him.
There are so many new things I learned just now
- so I don't know how to react... - Your drink is ready!
[Good news at the right timing] Perfect timing.
Wow, this...
[And a full meal] What's with the strawberries?
- Did you order strawberries? - No, I didn't!
We are so thankful, but...
A bit disappointing...
Is he Je Hoon's fan?
Thank you so much for the food.
It's for everyone.
Is this okay? We can pay for this!
It's okay! Enjoy!
Thank you so much.
I ordered Yuja Chamomile and it's so good!
Oh, really?
[Definite Gratitude]
It matches your outfit!
[Wait...] These people here
are so hyped about him saying how he ordered Yuja Chamomile and it's good...
I have to work so hard!
[Hardworking person who needs to say 100 things a minute to make them laugh]
- And they might not even laugh. - Dong Hwi, look.
It seems like
being funny is good too,
but it can't beat what people prefer to see.
[Cruel reality] Nothing can beat what people want to see.
That's true.
Isn't it?!
[Not something anyone] Isn't it, Dong Hwi?
[can firmly say no to] I am learning it to my bones.
If you look at the statistics, it shows.
It's the same with any other program.
Being funny... Funny is good!
But that's a default. Variety shows
need to trigger people's curiosity! Whether it's about the person or the content.
I think it's worse now because there are too many contents.
So I will also refrain from coming her often.
[Suddenly going for a mystical concept] I am a bit anxious that people
- would no longer be curious about me. - Not at all!
You are already almost part of us entertainers
[Next generation YouTuber/Actor] so you should come more often.
[Pinggyego!]
If I don't have anything,
I always go to the movie theater.
I love watching movies at the theater.
- Really? - Yes.
Doesn't matter if there is a viral movie or not?
[Report] He watches several movies back to back.
How many movies have you watched the most in a day
At most,
I've watched 4 movies in a day.
I love watching movies in the movie theater the most.
[It's healing itself] It's so healing.
Also, since I act,
if I watch a good movie when I'm down,
I suddenly get energetic!
'I want to act like that' or 'I want to be in movies like that'.
[Full or motivation] It grows inside me.
Although we choose to watch certain movies ourselves,
some are fun,
- but some are boring - That's right.
You still watch till the end?
Yeah! So when I watch a boring movie,
I think, 'I shouldn't choose movies like that.'
[Insightful hobby] That's the mindset of a CEO.
He is quite cruel.
I try to think
- Why it's boring? - what makes it boring.
Same with me too!
Since you guys are both actors,
people might think that it's obvious for you guys to go watch movies at the theater,
but it's actually not that easy.
Nowadays, you can
[You can easily watch movies] easily watch movies
[without going to the movie theater] on TV or OTT,
but I believe what's more important is the experience
That's true.
of facing different impressions and emotions in the movie theater.
- So true. - Mmm...
[Focusing...] I've always wanted to share that.
You really seemed like a CEO just now!
The way you talk...
I'm sorry, but...
It's okay to worry about the Korean movie industry,
- but out 'Chief Detective 1958'... - Oh, right!
[From CEO] 'Chief Detective 1958' was already... Yeah!
[To the main actor] 'Chief Detective 1958' is much more important.
That's right.
Yeah.
[Starring Choi Bool-am, Kim Sang-sun, and more] It's like a legacy
[National drama in the 70-80s, Chief Inspector] of MBC drama.
It's quite nervous
[Chief Detective 1958] and makes us think a lot
[April 19th Friday 9:50PM on MBC] to carry on such a legacy
[Prequel of Chief Inspector] as a prequel.
[1958 Era of Barbarism] We've been working hard
[3 colleagues going against corrupt powers] to produce a great drama
[and becoming detectives for the people] that could make the viewers
[Let's go!] entertained and happy.
Alright.
[The more we talk, the more I think] Don't you hear
that you look like
the typical student president a lot?
[Definitely a leader] He looks like a student leader.
Definition of trust.
[Somehow shy]
That's why IBK...
Pfft!
Hey! YA!
I mean!
The face that represents the bank...
Did it get extended?
Yes, it did...
[3rd year Trustworthy model for the financial industry]
Financial industry is highly competitive.
Of course.
Dang, you extended it!
How do you like my outfit for today?
... Why?
It's from a brand I've been modeling for over 3 years.
You've extended it over 3 years too?
It's a brand called Olzen.
I love it a lot.
You are quite
[Heh] materialistic!
I must stay focused today]
You are so materialistic.
Dong Hwi, your CEO is amazing.
That's also one of the reasons why...
- You joined his company? - Yes, it is.
CEOs should be like that so some point.
After establishing a company,
I work harder than ever
because there are people that work for the company.
It's different.
I have to pay them...
And pay the company's rent...
[Caught in Gyeju's eyes] And the car lease...
[His actor only quietly nodding] There are some regular payments
I need to pay including utilities.
But you also have Dong Hwi...
Hahaha
It was a huge support to have Dong Hwi join us.
- He is helping? - A lot!
- I'm very thankful. - Haha...
What a relief.
- So I want to fully support him. - If you were taking a break,
it would have been so uncomfortable.
Other than that...
When I heard that,
I was thinking that I should switch
[Already uncomfortable] to a more gas efficient car.
[Dong Hwi is uncomfortable enough] The CEO is right here.
Being part of a company and managing a company
is completely different.
- That's so true. - Yeah.
[So much unexpected spending] There was a lot I never thought about.
Yeah.
"This is the monthly payment?"
But that cost
never goes down.
- It just grows over time. - It does.
So on my 3rd year,
I started thinking about them.
[O...Oh...] Office rent...
Office rent only grows.
- Labor cost only grows. - Yeah.
I... Hmm...
I was going to take a break after Chief Detective...
[Never mind] But after hearing from the CEO...
It's not the time for you to take a break!
You have to keep going!
Since he mentioned professional words...
Cost... I only know Costco...
Anyways, I will work hard
- and try my best to be thankful. - Thank you.
Then
did you ever regret it?
Why did I establish a company...?
Often.
[Honest] Very often.
Before Dong Hwi joined,
[Burden of keeping up the company] I was the only actor in the company
so I had to work hard.
Since I am also a human,
I wanted to take a break too
but I get myself together that I should still work hard!
- You have those thoughts? - For the company.
[More episode] Every time I look at him
he only works like a workaholic,
other than going to the movie theater.
- He keeps working? - Yes, always.
I do management
while also producing movies.
- Movie production? - Yes.
I am preparing an OTT drama series.
[How many jobs do you have?] How much work do you have..?
[Embarrassed]
Wait, but
what made you establish a company?
I was in my first company for 12 years, including the army.
You were with them for a while.
[Contract was over] Then after separating from them,
I needed a new company, right?
But even if I join another company,
I will probably part away from that company
- Once the contract is over? - in 2-3 years
and find another company, right?
But rather than that...
Since I want to act for the rest of my life,
I thought it might be better for me to do it all myself
without moving from one company to another!
That's why I started my own company.
What was your nickname when you were younger?
[Trying not to laugh] [Hyena searching for something to bite on]
Old soul?
[Goosebumps] I asked
because I was just thinking the same!
This mindset is extraordinary!
[Dopamine flush of his own observations] He shouldn't be here! He should be an economist!
His mindset is different, right?
The moment you said old soul,
you seemed like you heard the answer you wanted to hear.
[That's it!] This is it!
It sounded like it.
The depth of your thoughts is abnormal.
That's why I was attracted to him too.
My thoughts... Are shallow.
You changing your mind easily?
[Of course] Very easily.
I had the belief that if I work with Je Hoon,
I would be able to work for a long time.
[That reminds me] Just by looking at the work
that Je Hoon chooses,
it seems like he has a firm belief.
Not sure what is it, but I can just sense it.
What I am bummed about that
is that I want to do more mellow or romantic comedies.
Why didn't you?
[Interest UP]
[Thinking back] I did a few
but compared to my filmography,
there aren't much.
[Detective, Signal, Taxi Driver]
[Chief Detective 1958, Bleak Night, Park Yol, Time to Hunt, etc.]
His work is mostly strong and rough.
Most of his work is like that.
[Proud fan] I can talk about it all because I watched it all.
[I want to find mellow]
[Lee Je Hoon Mellow...] Thankfully,
[Found it!] I have a bit of romance
[Waiting] in 'Chief Detective 1958'.
Je Hoon has the most well known romance, 'Architecture 101'.
[Talk battle from Architecture 101] I was about to mention 'Architecture 101'.
Seriously, 'Architecture 101'...
[win] Yeonseok...!
[Seungmin (Je Hoon) misunderstood Jaewook (Yeonseok)]
[and Seoyeon's (Suzy) relationship] I was so pissed
[Everyone was in rage at Ah Yeonseok] and An Yeonseok!
- Even though I knew he was acting! - I was so angry!
It seemed realistic!
I went through the same.
- You did? - Of course.
I saw someone like Yeonseok show up
[Getting into it] Yeah?
and saw them standing together in front of her house.
[Sometimes, reality is worse than the movie] I cried so much.
- It does happen! - It happened to me!
[Another college episode] I broke up once
- which would make me heartbroken, right? - Very heartbroken.
- You lose your appetite. - I really lost my appetite.
One day, I got a phone call
asking if I can come see her for a second.
'Does she want to get back?'
[Ran over super excited] I ran over like crazy,
waited, and finally met her.
"I don't know if I should tell you this"
"but I think you should hear it from me"
"rather than anyone else."
"You... Remember ○○?"
[Nervous]
[Nervous22] "I am dating him..."
[About to get cramps again] That's not okay!
[Not done yet] In front of her, I was like,
"(Acting calm) That's so good for you!"
[Gyewon's live reactions] "Congratulations!"
"You guys look so good together."
[But his mentality broke down] But reality hit so hard afterward
that I did not want to go to school.
Just in case you saw them together?
Just like Seungmin from 'Architecture 101'.
[Done getting in character] So if I sensed
that she is walking my way,
- I would turn the other way. - Exactly.
One time, I was going to turn around and walk the other way from her,
[Dead end] but it was a dead end.
So I went like...
[Isn't that Je Hoon? / Let's just walk away...] I remember
[So sad] staying like this
[But his best option at the time] until she walked away.
That's similar to 'Architecture 101'!
So when I read the scenario of 'Architecture 101',
it felt like my own story.
I knew I could show these emotions very well.
I was acting like I was Seungmin myself.
'Architecture 101' is one of my life movies.
Also, our actor Lee Dong Hwi
was in a movie
[Getting cramps because he was surprised] called 'MORA'...
Has it not been released yet?
Not yet.
- When will it open? - Is it a romance?
- No, not that. - It's a family movie.
We had not planned this at all!
He is such a CEO.
[Did not compromise beforehand] 'MORA'?
[Moving on, leaving shocked Dong Hwi behind] It's a story of 4 family
[LOLOL] while showing realistic
couples as well.
When is it released?
[Calmed down] It's an independent film,
so we don't have a release date yet.
But he put a lot of care into it.
- He ran around places for it. - I've seen it in advance
and I was so shocked when I saw it.
It's a new look of actor Lee Dong Hwi.
His acting is insane!
[What was that? Je Hoon got angry at Dong Hwi's crazy acting]
[Don't know what to do] It's a must-watch movie!
His CEO moment is so new!
[Unfamiliar with is CEO too] I've worked with Je Hoon here and there
[Quietly waiting to say something after] but I've never seen him like this!
He is like "It's insane!"
Since we are in 'Chief Detective 1958' together
I want to share a lot of his work,
but personally, I think
[Angry all the sudden again] his filmography is insane.
What are they?
'The Roundup: Punishment'
[CEO is promoting dead serious]
He really
felt like my CEO.
[CEO with broken handle] This was hilarious.
[And Gyeju finds him hilarious] 'The Roundup: Punishment'
He was at the Berlin International Film Festival and walked the red carpet.
Watching him walking the red carpet... Yes!
[Why aren't you clapping?]
- Seriously... - Dong Hwi...
[Still amazed] You must be so happy.
[Cramps again]
This company CEO is the best!
So many people are going to contact him
[Donhwi's insane acting] after this.
None of my past CEOs
have does this for me.
My CEO is the best.
You are almost his baby.
[Agreed] I have never
[Broken reaction] been treated like this
so I don't know how to react.
[Bringing the breakup talk again] Do you have some hurtful love stories?
- I do too. - Really?
I was kneeling in front of her house
until she called her classmates
to carry...
Carry me from the sides, like this
so make me go home...
[Forced home] So I went home like that once.
[If Je Hoon is 'Architecture 101'] He is more like 'Architecture 101'
but I'm more like 'Ginko Bed'.
['Ginko Bed'] Not a lot of young people would know this.
[Fantasy movie released in 1996] General Hwang?
Snowy day...
- Pure love! - Kneeling too!
I couldn't feel my legs
so when they came
I was slightly thankful
because I couldn't walk out confidently by myself.
I was kneeling for a while.
Do you have any...?
[Suddenly at me?] I'm 'Ginko Bed',
[No other meaning] Je Hoon is 'Architecture 101',
[Just curious about Gyeju's genre] what movie are you?
I'm love crisis style.
Every day was a crisis when dating.
[Crying]
- Nothing goes as planned? - She is never satisfied.
No matter how hard I try, she is unsatisfied with something.
[Always seems questionable on her way back] It always feels... Unstable
so I have to hold her back all the time.
I get myself together and tell her, "This is not it!"
"Something better will happen tomorrow!"
[Let's head home for now, and see you again tomorrow]
"Today's date? This isn't it."
"We have more days ahead of us."
"(Boom) I have more to show you!"
"(Clap) So much more to show you!"
"You haven't seen enough of me! Don't make up your mind already."
I'm sorry for asking.
[Love crisis is offended] Why are you apologizing?
In 'Chief Detective 1958'
actor Seo Eunsoo is also in the drama,
and since there are a lot of cases and a lot to investigate,
[Endless crisis] I kept not showing up to our date.
That's also because this drama takes place in the 1950s.
[Hard to contact] I was always late
[Replicated the time period 100%] or not show up for the movie date.
I'm also curious about those.
[That makes him curious] You will probably deal with cases
[Looks of the 1950s] that happened back then, right?
I was so unfamiliar with it, since I've never lived in that era either.
Interestingly, crimes have repeatedly happened.
There were a lot of bad people back then too.
- Yeah. - Of course.
[Originally played Park Younghan] How Mr. Choi Bool-am always said,
"Let's go put out the fire."
What was that? "Let's go put out the fire?"
After the original 'Chief Inspector' got famous,
a lot of people came to the broadcasting station asking him to solve cases.
People came to the broadcasting station.
So naturally, senior actors
acted with huge responsibilities
and even though the criminals are all scripted,
they felt determined when going to arrest them.
And when he got the chance to talk to the victims of actual cases,
he got so sad and felt the fire of rage starting within him
that he went to grab a drink to put out that fire...
[Understood] Put out the fire inside him.
[Actors of Chief Inspectors were most sincere] That's what they said
when they wanted to go grab some drink.
What's interesting is that since we're the ones shooting it right now,
- I get swayed by it a lot. - Yeah.
It's super sad.
I feel like I am working harder than in any other work.
[Hi] Anyways,
since the cafe owner gave us strawberries, we should eat it.
[Putting out the fire with strawberries] We have to eat this.
- This is so... - Strawberries are so hard to find nowadays.
[Surprise gift of strawberries] I've been here often...
I've never seen it either.
- Mmm! - He has always been so kind, but...
Oooh! Yuja Chamomile!
[Sharing is caring]
- Thank you. - What do you do in your free time?
Free time? If I were given
a vacation for 3 days,
I just hop on the airplane and travel somewhere close.
He... This was not scripted.
He knew I liked cats, so when he traveled for 3 days
he gifted me a T-shirt with a cat on it.
[Happened to wear the t-shirt his CEO got him]
As soon as I saw it, it reminded me of Dong Hwi.
[Proud] and there was only one left.
[Got it as a gift without hesitation] So I got it right away.
- And gifted to him? - Yes.
Every time I see cats,
- I... - I think of Dong Hwi so much.
I feel so bad because I show them pictures of my cat whenever I can.
[Look]
"Isn't he cute?"
[Bragging everywhere] "Isn't he?"
So I probably tire them out.
[No!] I don't get tired! It's healing for me too.
They are so cute and lovely.
[CEO Lee is on Dong Hwi's side no matter what] Wow... They are almost his kids.
I am almost Je Hoon's cat right now.
[He embarrassed himself] So...
[Never ending Bragging off his actor more]
He also brought in all the cats from the streets!
- That's not easy at all. - That's so heartwarming.
I... Talked about it a lot the last time I came.
- Oh, really? - Yeah.
- Have you not seen it? - N...
No, I mean...
What's with his CEO?
He has unexpected charms!
He sounds like he knows all about Dong Hwi!
- I didn't watch all... - But he didn't watch the last Pinggyego episode?!
[Feeling distant] He is a workaholic...
I personally think
a nice story
[You know what I'm saying?] can be repeated twice.
[Dong Hwi, you tell us] Dong Hwi, what's your CEO like?
I think we need to step outside...
And clarify a few things first.
What did we see in each other before?
[Need to communicate]
I haven't seen all about him yet.
[EP.40 The new start is just an excuse] It hasn't been out for a while.
[Episode right before this] He hasn't watched the episode that just came out?
Jeahoon is super busy... Yeah...
If you were given a 3-day vacation,
what would you do?
All of a sudden...?
I would travel!
Who are you talking to?
Who do you keep talking to?
[Trying his best to switch the subject]
Hello!
[But in an interesting way]
Why are you doing this now?
Je Hoon is addicted to making hearts!
[Successfully changed the subject] Oh, really?
Hand heart addict!
[More curiosity] There are all sorts
of hearts nowadays.
Yeah.
What kind of hearts do you make?
[His go to heart] I usually do these.
This sometimes too.
- And? - This too.
What else?
Cheek heart.
Oh! Cheek heart, yeah.
[There's this too]
[And this!]
Even on set.
Why....
He makes a lot of hearts in front of the making camera.
Je Hoon is hilarious!
Why would you do this
all of a sudden?
[Used to it] He does it so randomly all the time!
So a lot of the times
I feel lost next to him.
- Should I join him...? - He does it while shooting?
[Inside the bazaar set] While I am all busy and stuff,
[pure hand heart appears] he is doing this.
[Scratch] "...Should I join him?"
But by looking
[Don't know how you'd feel about it] at our hearts, you can tell our age.
Those who are a bit older
don't make it perfect. It's not symmetrical.
[For example) Asymmetrical L heart] It looks like an L.
[Union is just an excuse] It's like this.
It's a heart with big love.
It's asymmetrical, right?
But Je Hoon's is symmetrical, right?
That is also a bit far from what kinds nowadays do.
- They shake it. - Oh...!
Je Hoon shakes it!
[Who cares if I'm happy?]
I'm sorry.
[Je Hoon is a heart addict] Je Hoon is hilarious.
[Loves it] Heart addict is funny.
What a relief.
I am feeling good right now!
Why are you evaluating yourself?
2 million(?) so far...
[Dong Hwi's personal thoughts] I'm sorry.
[Kidding] I'm sorry, Gyewons.
[Pinggyego's main function]
[Learns something new while talking]]
Why do you make so many hearts?
[When he meets his fans] When I meet my fans,
just saying "Thank you"
doesn't seem enough?
[Want to show more gratitude] I wanted to show my emotions more
and nothing beats this.
[Habitual heart] So I do this to the fans.
[During a photo time] And when I see reporters,
I just naturally...
[Making hearts everywhere]
[Crying]
His hearts are so automated.
When he puts his hand up, it just goes...!
[Automated smile]
- He builds heart muscles. - Exactly.
[Heart 3 set] Since he makes a lot of hearts.
It's like building muscles when you work out a lot.
He has heart muscles.
Exclusively on Pinggyego!
We have the heart addict!
[Lee Je Hoon, Heart Addict... Also has heart muscles...]
[Eureka] No one else knew that
Je Hoon was a heart addict!
- That's true. - I didn't either.
Please show a lot of love for Chief Detective 1958!
[Now he is embarrassed]
[Gyeju's laugh button of the day]
Nose...!
[Nice to hear it] You finally made that nasal sound!
- When Jae Seok makes that sound - He...!
- It slowly gets more(?) - Is saying weird things next to him!
[We did it!] Why is he doing that?
[Believe it or not] He has to make that sound
[Correlation of that sound & view count(?)] for the view count to...
What do you do when you're home?
[Relieved strawberry] I have a projector to watch OTT.
[Proud] I am a member of all OTT platforms.
Oh, yeah?
I look around to see what movies are new.
I look through all the thumbnails
and decide on what to watch.
[But strangely always get sleepy when about to watch it]
- You spend like 30-40 minutes choosing... - Exactly!
What I think is weird is that
I decide to watch something while I eat,
but end up choosing till I'm done eating.
[Relating too much] That's so true.
As someone who makes contents,
I feel pity,
- but since there are too many.. - As you said,
since there are too many contents,
it's getting harder
to stick to one
[Waiting to add on] and watch till the end.
That's why
it's nice to have Pinggyego playing.
That's true.
It lasts almost 1 hour.
Yes, it is.
I think that's amazing.
The power to keep the viewers interested
and keep watching Pinggyego!
Why didn't you watch Dong Hwi's?
[It's all a misunderstanding]
[When being into something weird.mp4]
[Meanwhile] I understand. He is so busy.
[Caught him trying to cover himself up] Our schedules are the same.
You stay quiet!
I have to help in some way...
- I need to back him up. - Heart addict is hilarious.
When I watch Pinggyego...
[Opps... When did this happen?]
[Crying] Habits are scary.
[Pinggyego!]
I think I sleep 6-7 hours.
I have to sleep at least 6-7 hours too.
If I don't sleep enough, it affects me when I'm working.
- Yeah. - So true.
So I try to sleep more
and care more
about what I eat too.
With Je Hoon and Dong Hwi,
working in this field
[Can't help but keep a diet] makes it hard for us
to eat all we want.
How do you eat usually...?
I love food so much.
In the group chat,
my friends who are married
- always send things at night! - Pictures, right?
They order late-night food
[When he sees picture of late late-night party..] with some soju or beer
- and send it to the group chat. - Exactly!
It drives me insane every time I see it!
- My mouth... - Waters...
If we eat beef intestines or octopus hot pot at night
the very next morning,
it's all added to our face, right?
[Late-night snacks all show up]
If you eat it, it shows right through.
[Boom] If you eat it, it shows right through?
[Clap] Beef intestines, octopus hotpot...
Ramen around the eyes!
It all shows right through!
[Can't run away from this fate as an actor] That's the only imbalance
- in this work. - That's right.
I can't eat all I want when I'm done for the day...
Also, I have to maintain the same look throughout the entire drama...
What do you usually eat then?
I look forward for just one meal
since the day before
and eat that!
I try not to eat after 6PM...
[Another Gyewon eating 1 meal a day] Almost 1 meal a day?
Yes
because without that happiness,
I wouldn't feel happy about my work.
My favorite food is kalguksu.
- Ohhh - Ooh! So?
But kalguksu is a lot of salt
- and carbs! - So good.
Kalguksu is the boss
because when I go on set the next day
- people freak out. - Why?
"Did you get beaten up?"
"Did you cry?"
There is a full moon...
[Poofy face making rumors] "Did you cry?" Because I get so poofy.
So I try to eat it only twice a month.
Eating your favorite food only twice a month...
[That's a bit bummer] That's the only downside.
What about you, Je Hoon?
Usually...
I've mentioned it in 'You Quiz' too.
I've been eating an apple a day for the past 30 years!
[Beats Snow White Loves apples more than anyone else]
Ever since Je Hoon has said that,
Sae-Ho always eats an apple a day now.
Apples have gotten a lot of expensive now...
- They are golden apples now. - Yeah, golden apples.
So I am starting to worry about money now.
Uhh...
I wish the citizens of Korea can easily enjoy apples...
Worrying about the citizens too...
[Hehe]
Are you... Running for election?
There is a big election in April.
Be quiet!
[Careless] You shouldn't stay home that day, right?
Go out and use your rights!
[Supporting people to vote out of nowhere]
Hmm?!
Second time making that noise...
[Nose time is back] Jae Seok made that noise for the second time.
You watch out!
You talked about the election!
Watch out for numbers! Watch out for your fingers!
[Being careful]
[Keeping that in mind]
I'm sorry.
We have to be more careful as elections are coming.
- Right. - We have to be careful.
[If Dong Hwi's interest is fashion] Dong Hwi is into fashion.
What are you interested in?
Je Hoon also has a lot of interest in fashion too!
- Oh, really? - Yes!
I like the comfy outfit
when I'm not working.
When I was shooting a Netflix movie called 'Time To Hunt',
I was into street fashion
so I wore oversized sportswear.
I liked wearing it oversized.
I think I've seen it before!
Lately...
It's not really gorp core...
Hmm... How should I describe it?
[I think he wants to say work wear] Very active...
[Work clothes style] With lots of pockets.
- Even more relaxed and comfortable. - Hmm...
He seems like he is looking for comfy clothes overall.
[Pure] That's right!
[Joking] Aren't you just looking for comfy clothes?
[Not bothered] I personally think
Dong Hwi's fashion is shocking.
[Uh oh]
He wears casual clothes, right?
But he looks too much like a model!
[Shy] They just look so much better on him
[Smoothly transitions to complimenting Dong Hwi] and he makes me want to buy them.
His words are slowly losing their trust
because he is my company's CEO...
[I'm the CEO] Yeah, I am slowly starting
to think that he's biased.
When Je Hoon first came,
I saved 100% of what he said.
Now, most of them are just passing through.
[Showing off his actor nonstop] While listening to it, nothing stays with me.
[Has more to say]
He now models for a sportswear brand...
[Not done yet] He is so...
Did I ask?!
[CEO doesn't back out] Hey, Je Hoon!
[The actor is silently crying] Did I ask?!
[It's something congratulate...] It's nice that he's modeling for a brand...
But I never asked!
[Haha] That's true.
[Dizzy from too much love] I've never been treated like this before...
Do you live alone, Je Hoon?
No, I have never lived alone in my life.
That's the same with me!
Is there a reason why?
[Thinking]
Being with my family is comfortable.
I sometimes imagine
how much more I could do if I lived alone,
but with so much I have to do,
if I'm with my family,
I can get supported on things I am not good at.
That's true.
So I have never gotten myself to live alone.
[Curious about his parent's perspective] Not even your parents
have ever told you to move out?
They have never told me such a thing...
Interesting.
I have never lived alone
[Gyeju has a fantasy of living alone] so I have some fantasies
of living alone.
It's a pain!
[Only one experienced in living alone] If the dryer isn't done before I have to leave,
it drives me insane!
So true.
And,
[Apologies in advance] I'm sorry to keep talking about cats,
but sometimes the cats would throw up
[※Butler Dong's fun fact] 5 minutes before I have to leave.
[Since cats groom their hair with their tongue]
[they might throw up hairballs sometimes] I hear them throwing up,
[Was in a hurry] which means I have to go clean it up.
I would scream inside the house myself.
If someone else is there...
- You can ask them to clean it up for you. - Yeah...
[Staring] That gives me a headache.
Make me do it!
The CEO...? HAHAHAHAHA
What can I not do for you?
[Dizzy]
[Dizzy] Is he always like...?
Was Je Hoon always like this?
Was Je Hoon always like this, huh?
There are so many new things... I am learning about him today...
[New side of the CEO] It's almost my first time
[That he saw in Pinggyego] talking in a variety show with him like this,
[Touched] but he cares for me so much...
Does Je Hoon have a lot of aegyo?
- Aegyo? - So much aegyo!
Are you the youngest in the family?
- I have an older sister... - No wonder.
I have nephews too
[Gained aegyo watching his nephews] so by seeing my nephews do aegyo,
I think I gained aegyo too.
Are you close with your sister?
When I was little, she was the scariest person for me
but now that we're adults, we are super close.
[He was afraid of her] The fact that you thought she was scary
[because he listened to what she said!] means you listened to what she said.
She is 6 years older than me,
so when I was in 6th grade, she was a senior in high school.
Oh...
You can't dare to go against her then.
Back then... I was listening to Seo Taiji and Boys's cassette tape
and I accidentally pulled out the film.
[Young Je Hoon faced a crisis] I tried to fix it
but no matter how hard I tried turning it with a pen, it didn't work.
'This is my sister's... What should I do...?'
I was so scared that I couldn't even dare to tell her
[Got caught by his sister] but I got caught.
You know wired coat hanger?
She folded the coat hanger like this!
"Who did this?"
"I did..."
[Focusing] When I said I did it,
she was like.... Yeah...
So she smacked you?
Yes, she did.
[Hesitant to reveal the truth]
He was afraid it might ruin his sister's image!
[Caught]
I said it myself!
He went all the way to folding the coat hanger!
Everything was laid out, but...!
'Should I say it or not...?'
'Wait... What if she hears this...?'
[Hehehe = That's right] Hehehe
[Debated so hard for that split second] He was debating so hard...
He faced a huge dilemma while having a conversation today!
[Wrapped up with a lot of effort] 'How should I wrap this up...?'
[Covering up] After getting smacked once or twice,
she felt bad too...
- You still got smacked. - Yes...
[Giggling]
[Sorry, sister!]
When your sisters see this
she will come
and apologize for what she did.
Dong Hwi is an only child...
At the top.
[Only child = Top] I was ranked forever top.
When fighting my sibling,
I get so jealous of my friends who are only children.
If I had siblings,
we would have fought a lot if we fought over clothes.
If they wore my clothes,
I would have gone nuts!
Sharing things isn't a big deal, but it can get super annoying.
I really hate sharing clothes...
Also, among all the clothes,
there are certain items
that even I can't wear often because I love it too much!
[Siblings always go for those] They always take that.
- They always catch that. - Yeah, how?
Why are you like that?
Who are you asking?
I'm sorry...
I wanted to make Jae Seok make that noise for the third time...
So I tried to breakthrough but I went a bit too far.
[Top ranked went a bit too far]
Are you associated with YouTube or something?
Only in hopes of Pinggyego's prosperity]
[Pinggyego associate] I would like to apologize again
- for missing the ball - Thank you Dong Hwi.
while trying to break through myself.
What kind of a son are you at home?
I definitely try to talk more
than I did before.
When I was tired in the past,
I was busy getting ready for bed.
Now, when I get home,
I try to talk with a smile.
- About your day? - Yes, what happened today.
Then my mom would tell me to go to bed since I'd be tired,
then I tell her that I will talk to her in the morning.
Such a good son.
- Being a good son isn't something big. - Yeah.
I feel so bad for my mom.
Why?
What do you say if she tries to talk to you?
"No more questions for today."
Because...
[Biggest smile] "No more questions for today"!
I usually call them the askers...
What does asker mean?
No askers can ask more questions than my mom does.
She asks the same thing over and over again too.
- I feel too much... - She is just curious.
Like a bad son...
[Naturally taking his mom's role] "Dong Hwi, what happened with that?"
"Mom, no more questions."
[How he marks his asker mom] "I will take care of it."
"You just have to relax and not worry about it."
[Made that noise]
Huh?!
[Radar activated] I won't make a number with my hand.
He made that noise many times today.
That's it!
- "I will take care of it!" - "I got it covered."
"Don't worry!"
[Also not sharing everything] "You don't have to worry about it!"
[so they won't worry too much] "No need to worry."
[Closing comment] "You should go to bed!"
"Go watch TV."
This is why...
- Je Hoon is such a good son... - Of course.
Since I've aged a bit
I started realizing that
there isn't much time I can spend with my parents left,
so I try to talk to them as much as I can.
I want them to be always healthy.
- Of course. - Yes!
Everyone should stay healthy.
Dong Hwi and I first met when shooting for an ad.
Yeah, I was cast
[Dong Hwi was cast for a minor role back then] for an ad shooting.
He brought the script...
Dong Hwi back then) I'm sorry, but could I get an autograph?
Yeah, I got his autograph...
[Also gave him a handwritten letter] I wrote a letter to him the night before...
He gave that to me.
[Touched by his letter] So I was so thankful
and wished that he would be super successful!
And a few months later,
[Became a rising star as Dong-ryong] he was in tvN drama 'Reply 1988'.
As soon as I saw that...
[It's him!]
[Even nicer to see him on screen]
It was one of my bucket list!
- Meeting Jae Seok. - So he wrote me a letter!
Watching Jae Seok's 'Infinite Challenge',
I grew up with so much comfort and courage.
I can't believe we've come this far from that.
[Human relationships are very cool] Human relationships are so interesting.
Is he the first person you got an autograph of?
[Let me think...]
I don't think he was the first...
He is an autograph mania!
HAHAHA!
He is a heart mania, and he is an autograph mania!
[Very curious] Whose autograph did you get?
He writes letters for everyone he works with(?)!
[Autograph mania's skill = handwritten letter]
[Makes sense...?] What's with him?
I knew this because of Je Hoon.
[Autograph mania is very flustered] He is an autograph mania!
To be honest,
he wasn't the first!
But I've only gotten
5 autographs max.
Jae Seok!
Soccer player, Park Ji Sung!
Kim Min Jae!
The other two, I can't really say it out loud...
Why?
I said 5 people max, but I think there are more...
Why is a always lying here and there?!
[Pissed but funny]
[(Again) Autograph mania's autograph list] Of the five, I have
Choi Min Sik.
They had an actor special, 'I saw Choi Min Sik' in Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival
[Sneaked to Bucheon for the autograph] so I sneaked in
- And got it then? - and tried so hard to get it.
Wow!
Have you ever gotten and autograph from anyone?
I have!
Singer Cho Yong-pil!
- Your family's treasure... - And coach Cha Bum-kun.
I got Cha Bum-kun's autograph when I was in high school.
I graduated from Yongmun High School and we had a great soccer team.
Coach Hwang Sun-hong is also from Yongmun High School.
[While attending Yongmun High School] So I went to go support our school
and I saw Cha Bum-kun way over there.
I ran to him like crazy
and put my hand through the fence.
[Precious Cha Boom's autograph] You got it when you were in high school...
I got it when I was a student.
Whoa!
Did you get an autograph from anyone?
I have a few.
The first autograph I have ever gotten was...
I loved Fly To The Sky so much!
Fly To The Sky released their 5th album then
and I learned that there is a fan sign event in a building
near Gangnam station while I was walking!
I got two albums
and got in line
and there were only girls there.
Since I was the only guy there,
[Hwanhee & Brian were shocked to see Je Hoon] they were so surprised.
Hwanhee&Brian) Are you really our fan?!
Je Hoon) I am really your fan!
[Got his first autograph that like] I remember getting my first autograph like that.
You got in line to get their autograph?
[True fan] Yes, I really loved them so much.
Fly To The Sky was amazing back then!
Do you have any other autographs than Fly To The Sky's?
After joining a management company, the actor I have respected my whole life
and who was my role model
was in the same building.
Who?
Han Suk-kyu!
- Oh.. - Oh...
Yeah, Suk-kyu!
The movie I was in after that
- was 'My Paparotti'. - That's right!
[Worked together] They were in the same movie.
From 'The Contact' and 'Shiri'...
He has a galaxy of legendary work.
Yeah.
It was an honor for me to be in the same movie.
I tried to imitate him,
but that never went well.
Try!
"Haha, Je Hoon!"
It's pretty similar!
"How have you been?"
- It's pretty similar! - It is!
Oh, really?
[Gained confidence]
[Second try right away] "Je Hoon"
"Yes, you little one!"
I did that...
- He sounds like him! - He does!
Really?
That's a good one, Je Hoon!
"Hahaha"
[Once approved, wants to keep doing it]
I've never seen him imitate someone else!
[Agreed] I've never seen you imitate anyone!
I've never done it...
You must really like Suk-kyu.
He is the role model of all junior actors.
While I was shooting 'Taxi Driver 2',
what was also shooting was
[Main role played by Han Suk-kyu] 'Dr. Romantic 3'.
We used the same set.
So he came over to me and asked,
[Vocal mimicry mania] "How have you been Je Hoon?"
He's doing it again!
Now that I'm trying, it's not working anymore.
[Making up with a heart]
[Heart addiction spread]
He makes hearts all the time...
- Just? - Of course.
[As he said before] If there is a making camera, he does.
Since I was also acting with him and was acting with different emotions,
I don't know what I should do!
'Should I make a heart too...?'
[Kept a small finger heart in his pocket] I do have one in my pocket...
[Don't feel comfortable taking it out]
[While Je Hoon is shooting hearts everywhere] But only one person is doing it...
I am not good at making hearts either...
As Je Hoon mentioned, I only do it
[Perfect for showing gratitude] when I want to show gratitude.
When 'Dune: Part 2' came to Korea,
one of my favorite actor Austin Butler came.
And when he came,
he was thinking of how to make a K-heart
and showed it to us after practicing,
it was super touching for me.
There are all kinds of hearts!
We will look for new hearts too.
But I feel like there can't be more hearts now...
[Are there more coming?] Or will we have more hearts?
Now...
I can only think of dirty ones.
[Unexpected booger heart]
I can only think of those dirty ones.
[Boop]
[Heart rocket heart]
I almost lost myself
and thought of something even more dirty.
For our Gyewons, I would like to...
- Don't do it! - I will contain myself.
[Pinggyego!]
How long has it been since you debuted, Dong Hwi?
It's been about 9 years now.
Oh...
I debuted late.
That's shorter than what I expected.
I got my first named role
when I was 28 or 29.
What did you do before that?
I.. Graduated.
[Always talk about graduating here]
Why are you talking about graduating right now?
Huh? Why now?
I mean I focused on school to graduate...
That's not what I'm asking!
[Actually took him 8 years to graduate] It took a while for me a graduate.
I also had to go to the army.
When I came back, I didn't take enough classes,
so it got pushed back while I tried to meet the graduation requirements.
Were you always hoping to be an actor?
My first dream was to be a cartoonist.
['The new start is just an excuse'] That's right.
[His artistic skills have been proven] He is such a good artist.
I could feel that my drawing abilities were lacking,
and starting at some point, I found myself making those facial expressions
that I couldn't draw!
You were making faces yourself.
I decided that I should
choose a job where I get to express things myself
[Coincidentally found his path] rather than drawing it out,
and applied to major in the Department of Theater and Film.
That's what happened.
My parents hated when I drew cartoons.
With you drawing?
My textbooks back then
[Filled the book with drawings instead of notes] were covered in drawings.
Whenever they get me books,
I would just be drawing in all the empty spaces.
[Back smash]
What were you like at home?
Hmm... When I was little,
I wanted to act.
You choose your path when you're in 12th grade, right?
- Yeah. - I wanted to go to Department of Theater and Film
but I just couldn't picture myself
succeeding as an actor.
So my parents asked if I could just make it my hobby.
They wanted me to study
and act as a hobby while working in the future.
So I put that dream aside
[Got into Bio information Engineering] and went to college.
While I was taking biology class,
I was questioning how this was affecting my life.
'Is this making me feel alive?'
I decided to do something I want
before I go to the army,
so I took time off from school
and went to Daehak-ro to act.
So you did plays...
Yeah, I started acting in plays.
While doing so,
all my friends in their early 20s
all went to the army
or applying for jobs,
and I felt like I was stuck
[Felt left behind] without going to the army.
Things didn't feel like it was working out
and I kept getting rejected in auditions.
So I think my parents were super worried then...
Did your parents say anything back then?
Uh...
One episode that came to mind
was that my dad
has never shown off his fragile side.
[Strong dad...] He was sobbing while saying,
"I'm sorry I am no help as a dad"
"even though you are working so hard."
My family wasn't very comfortable.
So I was heartbroken when he said that.
Wow... Even you dad
is so amazing...
- That's sad. - He was sorry that he couldn't help
even though you were having a hard time...
They must have been so worried... But
there was something I really wanted back then.
What was it?
A video camcorder.
That was... Like over 1,000,000KRW.
Yeah.
- It was over 1,000,000KRW. - I didn't have that much money saved
but I thought if I had one
I could take videos of myself
and study more about how I should act.
So I told them that
[His dad made a bold decision to buy him one] and they got it for me.
I made a lot of self-videos with that.
[The more we listen] Can't you slowly imagine
[The more we can tell] what Je Hoon's family is like?
They seem super close.
I feel so bad to say this,
but I want to live there.
[Only one staying calm...] IC...
If you say you want to live in his house at this point...
[Small payback for getting scolded for drawing] You are so...
Don't worry, Dong Hwi's parents! I will scold him for you guys!
[Was more focused on making things funny] Hahahaha
I would have thrown a strawberry at you if we were home.
I love you mom and dad.
[Heart sneak attack]
You have to express it when you can.
- But it's not very easy. - It's not.
His family sounds like a family from K-Drama.
It really does.
A typical family from dramas.
No shouting.
Rather than crying like this, ...
[Crying silently]
[K-Drama vibe] Like this...
(Trying hard to seem calm) "I'm okay..."
One time, I cried out loud
in my room on purpose for my parents to hear, and they said,
[Reality VER] "So tired of this house!"
"This is the last day I'm in this house!"
I'm sorry...
So Je Hoon has
that typical warmth.
As he said, you have to express it when you can!
- Yeah. - We have to express a lot more.
But it's so hard.
Do you say things like "I love you" at home too?
Do you make hearts...
To your mom?
- To your mom too? - While eating food...
[Strong opposing it]
I don't do that...
Aren't you a heart addict?
At home...
To his mom...
Then his mom goes...
Oh my!
- Not that far! - No?
[Pinggyego!]
Je Hoon is a good dancer too.
Jeahoon's dance from the beginning is so different
- Is it? - from how he dances now.
Why?
Now, he dances like...
- Kwon Youngdon, Kwon Youngdeuk! - Oh, yeah!
There are those two really good dancers from YGX.
[Learned from dancers DEUKIE and DONY] He was trained from them.
- He was taught. - Yeah.
He dances like a professional dancer now.
Last year, during my fan meeting,
I danced to TAEYANG's 'Shoong!'
He practiced so hard.
He was always a good dancer.
Yeah, but...
I danced a bit in college,
and went to dance school in my early 20s
and stopped dancing for a while.
It was my first time dancing to an entire song.
There are so many people
who are good dancers nowadays.
That's so true.
Even people who aren't celebrities
are such good dancers!
Yeah, everyone is like that nowadays.
With dancing
and also acting too.
We've talked about that before.
When we go out to shoot variety shows,
we would interview a few people, right?
In the past,
[When people were asked for an interview] like in 2000s or 2010s,
people were like, "Oh... Me...?"
[A lot of people rejected because they're too shy] "I'm too shy to be interviewed..."
There were a lot of people like that before! But now...
[So cool] "Oh, sure."
And they share their opinions
- super organized too. - Oh, yeah!
Nothing is too vague.
That's why I keep trying to look at those interviews
to see what younger people are interested in lately.
And when I get mentioned
by younger people, I get so happy!
Oh, yeah!
'They know me!'
Members of ZEROBASEONE (boy group) mentioned me before.
I met them during an awards ceremony.
[Encountered in 2023 AAA] Then we parted to be interviewed
and they said they wanted to collaborate
with me in the future.
I was so thankful by the fact that they said
- they liked me! - Super thankful.
When I bragged about it, Hoyeon was like...
What did she say?
Hoyeon) Don't trust everything they say!
[Déjà vu] Hoyeon) Don't trust everyone people say!
Why do you always fall for things people say to be polite?
Since I'll be seeing Hoyeon soon
I will ask her about these.
Do you have any concerns?
First, I just want 'Chief Detectives 1958' to go well.
The first air day is April 19th.
[Desperate] I really want
it to gain a lot of attention,
and I hope a lot of people would watch it, think back to the good old days,
and really like the drama!
That's my only concern.
That's how we really feel.
Each day of each drama
- is basically being evaluated. - That's so true.
In the past, not just us,
but in interviews...
"I don't care about viewers ratings."
There were interviews like this sometimes,
but none lately!
Oh, yeah.
Of course!
That's because not a lot of chances are given anymore.
That's so true.
[Harder to survive in this industry] It wasn't as competitive as it is now.
No one says it, even as a joke.
Never.
[Words can become a seed] Can't dare to say it out loud.
Never.
So I feel more responsible
getting into
- each work. - That's right.
And that I should do better!
How is it like for you, Dong Hwi?
My mindset is the same,
[All-nighter mate] but on days where we shoot overnight, like today,
my face is so...
Unbearable at 4AM...
[Not looking as good as his determination] I have to pick it up from the ground
- with a rope... - Does your face melt down?
I try so hard with that
[And trying to fight sleep] and to fight sleep.
But, interestingly,
- it's addicting in some way. - It is!
Regarding the result...
The fact that there are audiences who are happy
to watch the result that we worked so hard for.
Because we have viewers!
[Shooting all night] That sounds so tiring though.
But I had so much fun talking today.
Are you okay?
I gained energy!
Now, we will go shoot happily while bragging about today.
Send a lot of hearts today too.
I will be looking forward to see Je Hoon make hearts
even at 5 in the morning.
When we are taking inserts,
I pull out a heart right before the cut sign.
[Sending hearts instead of a cut sign]
Right after the cut sign, I go...
Highly addicted.
I learned it from Dong Hwi,
but Je Hoon's heart addiction
is very new.
I learned a lot about Je Hoon today.
It was even more fun
to have Dong Hwi with us today.
Please show a lot of love
[April 19th Friday 9:50PM] in MBC 'Chief Detective 1958'
where the two and many others worked so hard for!
It's Dong Hwi's third visit today...
You get paid today!
[Proud CEO]
[Finally collected all the coupons] I will treasure this at home...
I have looked at this so many times at home.
Finally!

Congratulations!
What's this?
First visit gift!
To celebrate Je Hoon's first visit today.
