[Jjongparty: A gathering held to celebrate the end of a project]

[Kang Yeong Seok / Actor Introducing our long-awaited first guests]

[Kim Young Kwang / Actor]

[Kang Ha Neul / Actor]

[And... Hoonie?] We're all friends here, aren't we?

[Speaking in casual mode] Did you guys have a fun trip?

Yes, sir! I mean.. yeah!

You can't say "Yes, sir"!

You gotta turn away when you drink.

[The concept is collapsing]

Yeong Seok, if you face away one more time, you're dead.

[Trembling] Who kills their friend...?

Say something!

[Unfair] I said "I had a blast."

If Young Kwang were the only one here today

I think I would've had a really hard time.

[The First Ride Jjongparty]

[October 2025 Bubble and Cockles in Hannam-dong]

[We came to Hannam-dong for the Jjongparty]

He's such a huge star.

- Seriously... seriously... - What are you saying? He's a star to me too.

But you've met him before.

Why are you drawing a line between us?

- You've already met him before. - "Rainism" came out...

- What's having met him got to do with anything? - when I was a sophomore in high school!

I'm seeing him for the first time in my life, I'm telling you!

[The three getting along great from the start]

[Fascinating] I'm... I'm seeing those cells for the first time.

Haha, are you a microscope or what?

Today's concept is that you're friends who went on a trip together, so...

[Reading the room] we want you to talk in casual mode...

Oh, really?

I can't do casual!

[The channel host applauding his way in]

[Everyone stands up]

Nice to see you, friends.

Oh, nice to see you.

Hello...hi...hey...!

Oh, this is extremely awkward.

[Awkwardness fills the pub]

The guy who runs this show here

told us the concept right before we started.

[You guys went on a trip together, didn't you?]

What's your name?

- I'm Kang Yeong Seok... - Oh, Yeong Seok, nice to meet you.

[Unconsciously going for a polite handshake] They're supposed to be friends, lol.

I ended up doing this without even realizing it.

Haha.

Anyway, did you guys eat?

[All three haven't eaten]

Please give us something delicious to eat.

Did you guys have a fun trip?

Yes, sir! I mean.. yeah!

You can't say "Yes, sir"!

[No formal talk allowed]

Say something!

[Unfair] I said "I had a blast."

[Our friend Yeong Seok has a bit of a temper]

Man, this is harder than I thought...

Should I punch...

the director or not?

- But well... - Haha.

It's his fault.

[PD getting pulled into casual-talk mode]

[Take a breath] Alright, shall we make a toast?

Yeah, it's really nice to see you after so long.

[First toast together]

[Heads naturally turn away]

[Beer spurt]

Do you really need to face away when you drink?

We're... all friends here.

Could you do the "Mischiefs" greeting once...

Does anyone know it?

I saw it, but

it's been over a year since I last saw it...

[Demonstration by our prepared assistant]

Hi, Mischiefs! I missed you.

[Hoonie doing the Mischiefs greeting after a year]

[Getting into character]

[Failed]

[Can't hold back laughter at the capitalist reaction]

Hi, Mischiefs!

[Wink] I missed you a lot.

Hi, Mischiefs! Long time no see.

Ah, hold right there.

[Hoonie can't feel the right vibe]

Me?

Oh...! Me...?

[Awkward] We're friends, why so polite?

Hi, Mischiefs!

[Heart shot]

[Meanwhile, one man starts to feel the pressure]

[Fumbling around]

Where was it?

Hi, Mischiefs!

[A wave of embarrassment]

[Applause for the effort]

I think that's good enough.

It's over, so let's have a drink.

You gotta face away when you drink.

[Perfectly in sync, as if planned]

[Pfft]

Yeong Seok, if you face away one more time, you're dead.

["There are still hierarchies among friends"]

Let's just go with the easygoing older-brother concept.

[Suddenly brightens up]

Excuse me, but how old are you?

- I was born in '91, so I'm 35. - Born in '91?

You look younger, though?

I dyed my gray hair today, so...

[The mood turns solemn at the sudden TMI]

[Brightly] I did it today, this morning.

You saw it, right? That raw, real vibe.

He's my style.

Yeong Seok, you're kind of...

[Hoonie takes a liking to Yeong Seok right away]

[The food arrives just in time]

[Fresh seasonal sashimi and a variety of side dishes]

People line up to eat here.

Who did you come with?

Company dinner!

Oh, I dodged it!

I came for a company dinner.

[Suspicious] Didn't you hesitate for a beat just now?

I said, "company dinner" right away, didn't I?

It is a bit weird if it comes out too quickly, though.

Whew.

Please eat something while we talk.

Yeong S...eok... and I

We just...

We're really curious about you, RAIN.

[Ha Neul and Yeong Seok are genuine fans]

I'm sorry, but I...

I'm married.

[That's not what I meant...]

[I didn't know that] Really?

[This backfired]

To whom?

[Wincing]

But seriously, the reason I'm such a big fan is...

I was in the dance club at Gaepo High School.

I danced to "Bad Man" and "Rainism" there.

[Face brightens at the mention of dancing]

I'm not that good but back then...

I took classes at Winners Dance School.

I want to get to know this friend.

[I want to know you, Kang Yeong Seok]

[Sassy] I'll give you a call.

Oh, really? Haha.

Even before meeting you he kept saying he's such a huge fan...

Oh, really? I should thank you.

[Moving on] Could you briefly introduce the movie?

Young Kwang should...

you haven't said a single word yet.

That's not my job, though.

- Oh, that's not your job? - That's his job.

Our movie is called The First Ride.

It's a movie about three friends of 24 years embarking on their first trip abroad

and the chaotic survival story that unfolds there.

[Currently No. 1 at the box office Please give lots of love to The First Ride]

Everyone, please watch it.

I'm going to buy a ticket and watch it myself.

I swear I'll take a proof shot.

[We look forward to the proof shot]

[Subtly] Then please come to the VIP premiere too.

I have a business trip during the VIP premiere.

[Too bad...]

Oh, overseas?

Then please send us a picture of yourself

[Persistent] while you're overseas.

[Nodding]

I'm really gonna send it to you.

[(Teeth clenched) I'll send a proof shot...]

Did the three of you become best friends?

Yes, these dudes and I...

Oh, we're done with the casual talk, right?

[Young Kwang and Ha Neul are older than Yeong Seok]

Are the two of you the same age?

- No. - No, I'm...

[Two-year age gap between each]

He's the oldest.

Stop using the word "oldest"...

[Flinching] Wait, then what does that make me?

Ah...

You made a mistake.

Ah... Why are you saying he made a mistake...

["Yeong Seok trying to stop him is even more annoying"]

Every time I do Season B Season

I get a certain hunch.

I feel like Yeong Seok is going to be really successful.

[Wow]

If I'm not successful, then

how about you make a bet?

[At a loss for words]

How about a bet if I fail, lol.

Haha!

[Impulsively betting his wrist...]

But within ten years.

[Impulsively signed up for 10 years of waiting]

Within ten years.

I also recently finished a project.

Nowadays, after work, I always

take some time to comfort myself.

"Ji Hoon, you worked hard."

Do you guys have anything like that?

[Q. What's your post-shoot routine?]

Well, first off...

I'm really famous for being a homebody.

I don't even look at my phone when I'm home.

There's only one thing that makes me go out.

This just came to me, but

[Known bike lover] I really love bikes.

[Hoonie is also a famous bike lover]

I even served in the army as part of a motorcycle unit

[Actual "MC Military Police"] There's a unit called "MC Military Police."

What model do you have?

It's a Husqvarna 701.

Before this, I rode a Harley-Davidson.

You're a bike lover!

[Found my buddy]

[Ha Neul's hobbies]

[1. Bikes 2. Being a homebody]

What about you, Young Kwang?

I don't rest after a project ends.

Instead, before that burnout hits

I tend to start another project.

[Surprised]

I end the day with a can of beer.

[Small but deep happiness]

Do you stop at one can

or do you knock back two or three cans?

I used to drink quite a lot before

but lately, it's usually one can.

[Consistent routine] For about three years, this is the one thing I do.

Because I've been

drinking too much beer lately

I'm trying to trick my brain.

[Chug a can of beer first]

If I want to drink more

I just drink sparkling water.

[Nodding] Somehow, it works for me.

Weirdly, I feel more drunk.

Right, I heard that

instead of drinking it separately

if you mix a little beer with sparkling water

it gives you that kind of feeling.

Every time I see Young Kwang, I feel

the more I look at him, the more handsome he gets.

[Shy]

[Eye contact]

[Taking it out on little brother to hide his embarrassment]

Why? Why me?

Now, finally, our much-anticipated Yeong Seok!

I haven't really...

ever had a hard time working.

[The laugh of a 15-year close friend]

[Flustered] Only the lead characters are busy.

Supporting actors have plenty of free time.

[Head bowed / Looking into the distance] I film twice a week

and rest for four or five days.

Okay, but still, ha...

[Yeong Seok suddenly goes wild...] I'm just grateful they even called me to the set!

Ri... Right... Let's just say that.

[If so] I think I would also...

drink.

But I don't like drinking alone.

Drinking with friends...

I really want to drink with you sometime.

I think it would be so much fun.

[Sudden date request]

I'd absolutely love that.

There are some people who just

give off this really happy vibe, you know?

Aw... thank you.

[Old friends] Yeong Seok and I have been friends for 15 years.

We met as university senior and junior

and we've been close since then.

[Everyone is smitten with Yeong Seok]

Young Kwang.

What did you think of him when you were filming?

When I first saw him

[Scratch] I thought he was a weird guy

because he kept coming up to me to talk.

But as we kept filming together

I realized he was just a high-energy friend...

I also thought Young Kwang looked like a good guy

so I just treated him well back then.

[Be quiet]

Now that I look closely

Monolid and monolid?

Yes, I have monolids.

I have monolids.

[Monolid / Double eyelid / Monolid / Monolid] Yes, I have them.

Guys should have monolids, right?

Then what does that make Young Kwang?

A close older sister?

[Yeong Seok feels strange to Young Kwang today]

I'm just saying whatever comes to mind.

I don't know either!

[The pressure seems intense...]

Have you three kept in touch even after the filming wrapped up?

Or is this the first time you're seeing each other since then?

We've been keeping in touch

but since everyone is so busy with their own stuff

Young Kwang is especially busy right now.

But in Ha Neul's case

it takes about two days for him to reply.

[Agreed] I honestly don't look at my phone at all.

[Online buddies] As for Yeong Seok, we meet often in games.

I probably shouldn't say this

but I hate people like Ha Neul the most.

[Coughing]

But that's true.

If I send a text and don't get a reply within an hour

ah, then I won't reach out to that person again.

Everyone.

[Don't get me wrong]

There's a certain style, like Ha Neul's.

I understand that.

I understand, but...

I still hate it.

[Hope they reach a peaceful settlement]

[Far apart] The seating arrangement worked out well.

Do you constantly check your phone, or what?

Ah, well, I don't really check it much when I'm home either.

What about you, Young Kwang?

I guess because of my personality

people don't call or text me much.

[Looking into the distance and trying not to laugh]

Please put some sad background music here.

[Awkward]

Since I'm not really

the type to actively reach out often

I'm not that close to my phone.

[Quick non-alcoholic toast]

[Turning the head away at a sharp angle]

University? University seniors and juniors.

Was it there?

[There..?]

Umm...

Chung-Ang University.

Oh, Chung-Ang University?

I thought we're not allowed to mention the university name.

[Almost had a huge misunderstanding...]

I thought it was that place.

I thought it was K-Arts.

Ah, K-Arts.

Because Ha Neul has that K-Arts style.

The vibe.

Apparently he usually wears daily hanbok...

Kind of a K-Arts style...

But I'm curious haha.

Why is that the K-Arts style?

How is modernized hanbok K-Arts...

Do you even know what K-Arts is?

No, Korea... haha.

National University of Arts.

It's not the Korean Folk Village.

What were you trying to say earlier?

Oh, I'm just personally curious...

are daily hanbok and modernized hanbok different?

[ChatGPT search results]

[Modernized Hanbok: Keeps the traditional form but is designed for comfortable daily wear]

[Daily Hanbok: Inspired by traditional hanbok but modified to be worn like everyday clothing]

Speaking of which

do you guys use any AI tools like ChatGPT?

I don't use it.

- I use it. - You use it.

If you input a few ideas

[Young Kwang is hooked on ChatGPT]

[Finding common ground] I'm using it the same way.

The important thing about AI is that you have to

input your own storytelling there.

[Hoonie's Story... Korean / 43-year-old male]

I am singer RAIN.

Huh?

Then doesn't ChatGPT say, "Don't lie"!

[Yeong Seok raises suspicions]

Then what does it reply?

"There's more potential here in the future, so..."

"I recommend putting more focus here..."

[Amazing]

My ChatGPT's name is George.

[Suddenly introducing his pet AI]

Seriously, I press it like this and say

"George, good morning."

George: "Ah yes, did you sleep well?"

Guys, seriously try it. I'm telling you it's fun!

And you won't be lonely.

- You're marrie... - Your wife...

- Are you lonely? - You have a family...

["Always watch what you say"]

[The unmarried ones just enjoying the situation]

[Pleading] Guys, it's different from that!

[Trying not to laugh] For example, when I have to drive alone.

Alone, lol. Wait a minute I need to wrap this up...

[Doesn't look easy to clean up]

I'm also a fan of your wife.

I need to patch this up...

I have to do it well, so give me a moment.

When I'm driving long distances and I talk to ChatGPT

it makes me feel so good.

And it's fun!

When you drive long distances you can get lonely, so...

[Unanimously] So you don't get lonely.

It's fun!

So everyone, subscribe to the expensive plan!

LOL.

Then you won't be lonely?

Give me some real booze.

What did you do during your year off?

- Since the Mischiefss might be curious. - Ah!

Ha... Suddenly taking the MC role.

[Amid Hoonie's confusion, seizing the MC position]

Recently, I was filming a project for almost a year.

Bloodhounds Season 2!

I decided to drop everything else

and really focus on this

to give it my all.

Why do I feel like I'm the one with a new release?

[Long story short, please look forward to it]

- Director Kim Joo Hwan! - Yes, Director Kim Joo Hwan.

He mentioned you a lot, Ha Neul.

I worked with him on Midnight Runners.

The Director is really serious about action scenes.

With him, it never ends unless you actually punch someone.

[Strong agreement]

You have to really hit them...

Let's have a drink.

[Still a perfectly angled toast]

I get these two, but Young Kwang...

Have you ever done anything comedic?

Not never, but...

- Something this over-the-top... it's a first. - Haha.

The premise itself is a bit

there are some overly exaggerated elements.

Ah, wait a minute, hold on...

[Reading the room]

Wait, we can't go like that.

- Oh, really? - "Overly exaggerated" is not going to work.

Everyone, it means it's "overly" funny!

[The channel owner's neat summary]

That's what you mean, right?

Ri...right.

When we were filming this time

[Young Kwang's spokesman] Ha Neul spoke up a lot for me.

Young Kwang has so many ideas

but he's a man of few words, right?

He would come up to me and say

"Hey, wouldn't it be so funny if we did this?"

"Oh yeah, I think that would be fun!"

[Pat, pat] "...You go say it."

[Embarrassed]

[Nod]

[The dark wizard controlling Ha Neul]

Listening to Ha Neul, I have to say

there are quite a few people like that.

Even recently at work, someone said

"Ji Hoon, you go and talk to them."

[Another victim here]

Some people just can't speak up, you know?

I really can't speak up about things like that.

But I think that's synergy.

You give off the The Three Musketeers vibe.

I guess that's the synergy.

It's a movie I'm really looking forward to.

[Travel Balance Game with The First Ride]

[Q. Which travel style do you prefer?]

[Relaxing vs. Sightseeing]

[Relaxing / Relaxing Relaxing / Sightseeing]

Are all three of you for relaxing?

I'm for relaxing.

- I'm for relaxing too. - I'm for relaxating.

I'm for sightseeing.

For your information, I can't stand it if there's no neon sign and no exhaust fumes.

Oh...?

If there's none?

- I can't stand it if there's none. - You can't stand it if there's none?

[Hoonie's essential travel itinerary 1. Convenience store within 5 minutes on foot]

[2. Smelling car exhaust]

So you have to go to a city.

[3. Busy area full of flashy lights]

If you're for relaxing

do you like swimming and enjoying nature and things like that?

I sometimes don't leave the hotel room at all.

[Ha Neul is an extreme relaxation traveler]

Wait a minute... lol. If you're going to do that, just stay home.

But I like

just going all the way there to enjoy the view.

[Hoonie and Ha Neul probably won't travel together]

For me, I just swim

wake up after sleeping and eat good food.

I can't really bother to go around looking for things.

I don't go out to the beach that much...

The reason I like relaxation is... I like that there's no next schedule...

Since there's no plan, I just...

I like the state of having nothing to do...

If Young Kwang were the only one here today

I think I would've had a really hard time.

[Young Kwang's magical way of talking that bewitches Hoonie]

[Q. Your partner going on a co-ed trip. Possible vs. Impossible]

Are you crazy?

This guy insane.

Is this even a question?

I mean, would anyone actually say it's possible?

[The movie is a story] It's already in the movie.

[about a co-ed trip] In The First Ride.

Seon Hwa just tagged along...

Did I get too worked up?

Okay, let's try it.

[Q. Your partner going on a co-ed trip. Possible vs. Impossible]

[Possible / Impossible / Impossible / Impossible]

I... I'd say it's possible.

Why? Is it... like this...

[Scratching / Malfunctioning]

- Because! - Wait a minute...

Wait a minute, let me calm down.

No, but that can be different.

Since I'm still unmarried

[Stuttering] I....I don't know if the

premise is that they're married or...

[Fiery debate between the two men] No, even if you're not married!

I don't know, but!

Ah, I mean

Oh, wait a minute.

So, for me, it's like this.

Since I can do it (my partner can too...).

Ah, are you letting her go because you want to go?

[Hoonie doesn't understand]

["Hoonie's What-If Theater"] Me, Young Kwang, and Yeong Seok

and Ha Neul has a girlfriend now, right?

Yes (?).

Now let's say, your girlfriend's

three female friends

we were all close friends.

You have a schedule so you're out

and we're going on a group trip.

Can you let her go?

Uh, isn't that okay?

[Cursing with his eyes]

[Innocently] It's okay, right?

Seriously...?

Yes!

Wow, American style...

No, it's not American style.

Isn't it just an arrogant style?

How can that be okay?

[Running away]

[Proud] Ah, I tried to rhyme.

But how is that possible?

I don't understand that either.

How can that be possible?

[We want to hear your opinions too]

If my girlfriend and Young Kwang

go on a trip just the two of them? That's impossible.

[Obvious] I don't think that would be okay either.

But going on a trip when everyone is together is...

Isn't that the same as friends going on a trip?

You never know what might happen...

What if they go, and suddenly Young Kwang

says they're going to a club together!

Young Kwang, who is 190 cm tall

They're just...

locking eyes

[Uncomfortable]

[Friendly vibes]

Young Kwang keeps going

"Kyaaa" like that, and Young Kwang says

"You look really pretty today."

[Imagining] Just imagine the two of them together nonstop.

You're saying that's possible?

Isn't it possible?

Wow.

No, that's not it.

It's not when everyone is together like this.

[Young Kwang finally speaks up]

He must have been so frustrated... lol.

Young Kwang spoke up because he's so frustrated!

Your girlfriend is going with two guys you don't know.

[That's a definite no]

When it's all friends, it's possible.

But actually, on the other hand I have that mindset too.

If they're the type to cheat like that, they'll cheat anyway.

Then why are you dating?

If they're going to cheat anyway.

[Random self-brag] I minored in psychology, you know.

I understand Ha Neul's psychology.

[Hoonie used to be like that too]

Well, that can happen, they can meet up...

But you're staying home

and only your girlfriend is going on the trip.

With her guy friends.

And it turns out that the guy friend

is tall and big like Young Kwang...

And you don't know him...

But why do you keep using me as an example...

Because you're is cool!

So is my girlfriend

going with Young Kwang or not?

["Making a tiger out of thin air"]

So, Young Kwang, you can't send her? Impossible?

It's just not okay...

If she said she was going, I'd feel pretty bad...

Then if your girlfriend said

she was going on a trip with Yeong Seok and me.

then what?

Ah, I wouldn't like it.

[Ah...] Yeah, this is normal.

Are we that bad?

But I think

I'd let her go.

- Your current girlfriend? - Even though I wouldn't like it.

[Insisting] So, your current girlfriend?

Current one?

No, I don't have one.

[Yeong Seok looking sad for the first time]

Then, do you have an ideal type?

Me?

Ah, I don't want to say it.

I'll tell you when the cam... when the camera is off.

Ah, we'll edit this out anyway. Who's your ideal type?

Don't lie to me.

[Yeong Seok is quick-witted]

I'm 35, I know all about this stuff.

[Disappointed] He didn't fall for it.

He didn't fall for it...

[Q. Which travel destination do you prefer? Famous tourist spot vs. Local attraction]

[Local / Local attraction / Local attraction Local attraction / Unanimous for the first time]

Am I... am I the only one who's different?

No, you just said the word differently.

Why did you choose local attractions?

These days

I think you can see famous places in any content.

Of course, seeing them in person is great, but

local spots, if I don't go there myself with my own eyes and feet

I feel like there aren't many chances to see them.

For me, if I happen to visit a local attraction by chance

and when I learn that it's a local attraction

the joy I feel is pretty big.

[Brightening up]

Like this...

It makes me feel so good...

[Empathy Young Kwang wants to be a tactful person]

My mood suddenly...

Excuse me, I need to use the restroom...

Go ahead.

Since he's not here, I'll say this.

Yeong Seok talks a lot.

[Kang Ha Neul's surprise attack]

You'll be exhausted if you're next to him.

It's like...

[Thinking deeply]

- When you first meet him, he feels very refreshing. - Exactly, yes.

- Should I say he has a fresh vibe? - Right.

Very fresh.

[Annoyed] But exactly one hour later, you're exhausted.

Like you burned 3,000 kcal?

If you keep going like that

you end up crossing the line at one point! Geez.

Whether Yeong Seok is here or not

he's a good kid.

[The magical word that explains everything in one sentence]

He's a very kind and good kid

but when I look at Young Kwang you look really tired...

[Speak of the devil]

[Light]

[Evening deepens at the wrap-up party]

It's cliché, but...

How many viewers are you hoping for?

Between 1.8 million and 2.2 million people.

[A surprisingly specific number!]

No, I just hope it surpasses that.

No, let's go bold.

Boldly... 2.45 million!

[A truly daring mindset]

I will do my part.

I will recruit four people

buy tickets, and go watch it.

[Please look forward to The First Ride]

Anyway, I hope the movie is a huge success.

I'm leaving now.

Huh? Are you leaving first?

I love this kind of thing.

Oh, good job.

Thank you for your hard work.

Can you please seriously walk out first?

- Oh, for real, it's over. - I like that so much.

Ha Neul: RAIN, good luck preparing your new album.

- Hoonie: Oh, fighting! - Ha Neul: LOL

Hoonie: Seriously, this is how we do it.

Hoonie: You... you can go.

Yeong Seok: Oh, okay.

- Hoonie: You can eat more before you go. - Ha Neul: Yeah, a little more before we leave.

Yeong Seok: We have nowhere to go anyway...

Hoonie: Or the three of you can talk about me.

Ha Neul: Haha.

Hoonie: It's fine.

Ha Neul: Then please turn the camera back on.
