All language subtitles for How Do You Play.E72.201212.720p-NEXT

(On a day when
the cold wind blows...)

(and winter is all around,)

(one man steps in cautiously.)

(It's Jae Seok dressed warmly.)

(What brings him here today?)

(Filmed according to
COVID-19 prevention rules.)

So today...

What's this about?

(Looking around)

(The producer
passes something to Jae Seok.)

(Giggling)

Come on.

My winter song...

What's this?

"Top 100 Ghost Yu Jae Seok's
Winter Song Playlist"?

First of all, Mr. Yu Jae Seok's...

That's startling.
I'm "Mr. Yu Jae Seok" now?

I was surprised when you called me
"Mr. Yu Jae Seok".

These days, winter songs
are rarely played in the streets.

That's true.

They even canceled
the bell-tolling ceremony.

It's as if we lost winter.

You want me to write down
some winter songs?

You can ask the public as well.

How am I to ask people online?

At 12:00 p.m., we'll go live.

(Through the 12:10 p.m.
live broadcast!)

Shouldn't you tell me
if we're going to broadcast live?

You don't tell me about that
as if it's nothing.

(How Do You Play?
will be live on YouTube!)

What do you want me to do
on the live broadcast?

Discuss what songs to fill...

your special Christmas present with.

Oh, winter songs?

- Five minutes to the live show.
- Songs I really like...

We're five minutes away?

This is insane.

Okay, fine. Where
do you want me to do this?

Where you're sitting.

Right here?

Then wait. My winter jacket...

- Shall we do this?
- Yes.

Gosh, a live broadcast...

We're ready. And cue.

Okay. Hello, everyone!

It's been a while since we met.

I'm Yu Jae Seok.
It's good to see you.

- We haven't started yet.
- What are you doing?

(Flustered)

(Whine)

What... You said "cue".

Didn't you say "cue"?

That was for us.

I said hello.

I put a lot of energy
into that greeting.

Give me a five-second count.

(Preparations for
the live show are complete.)

(The viewers are ready.)

- Five seconds.
- Okay.

Two seconds.

Hello, everyone! It's Yu Jae Seok.

I believe it's been a while since
I got to greet you online.

You've joined me
for a live broadcast.

I don't know
where you are right now,

but thanks for joining me.

If you're at work right now,

this must be lunchtime
or your break time.

At this time of day,
about 20,000 of you have joined me.

Thank you so much.

The comments are going by
so fast I can't read them.

Some... You said... So...

I can't see anything.
I really can't.

Can you tell me where you are, then?

Let's do a roll call.
Report where you are, please.

A lot of you are at home.
You're working from home.

Some of you are in America.

Vancouver. Gosh, so many...

You're lying on a stone bed?

On a hot water mattress?

(Hapjeong Station exit 5!)

On a cold day like today,

it's best to be somewhere warm
like on a hot water mat.

Someone said that
you're in my heart.

(I'm in your heart.)

(Sarang-dong in Jaeseok City!)

(Gosh!)

This is the fun of
communicating with people online.

So let me explain
what this live broadcast is about.

Winter is here,

but it feels as if
someone took it from us.

Each winter,

there are certain songs
that remind us of the season.

I thought it would
be nice to reminisce,

and I think we asked you about that
on our social media account.

If a certain winter song
touches you in a way,

I'd like you to tell us about it.

What things are there
that remind you it's winter?

Something that makes you
think of winter, like food.

(Eating tangerines in the cold.)

"Eating tangerines in the cold."
That's very specific.

I thought of my childhood.

I ate so many tangerines that
the tip of my nails turned yellow.

That's a good one.

"Street stalls' fishcake
and egg bread." That's right.

Roasted sweet potatoes too.

I like bungeoppang a lot.
I love them.

Reading what you said...

is making my mouth water.

You remind me of all the foods.

"Home Alone".

My family, whenever it's Christmas,

always watches "Home Alone".

My son Ji Ho loves the movie,
so we watch it often.

We can't forget "Home Alone".

You think of
"Infinite Challenge" calendars?

That's right.

Around this time of year, we did
a special where we deliver them.

I went to Busan where I said
"you still have it".

I delivered calendars with Buk Gon.

This isn't product placement.
I'm just telling you what I have.

There's a How Do You Play? calendar.

It's fascinating. Look.
The hologram changes between photos.

I'll show you a few inside pages.

Looking at this reminds me of
what I did in the past year.

It brings back memories.

There's also a larger calendar
to hang on the wall.

The large calendar.
A large calendar.

This came out very nicely.

If you look inside,
oh, it's the same photo.

- Why is it blank?
- It's a new product sample.

A sample?

This is a sample.
We don't yet have...

The large calendar
is blank on the inside.

This isn't a school exercise book.

It's not Yu Jae Seok's sketchbook.

There's nothing inside,

so you think it's a sketchbook,

but don't be mistaken.

It's a sample calendar
with blank pages.

Did I buy it with my own money?

No.

This isn't mine,
and I didn't purchase it.

It belongs to the crew, not me.

I won't take it home.

It's someone else's
bought with their money.

It's theirs bought with their money.

Let me say that in advance.

Gosh, there's a huge response.

This is from Original Entertainment,
and it looks luxurious.

Here we have Cheon Ok,
Man Ok, Eun Bee, and Sil Bee.

With all your support,
we printed some calendars,

and I'd like to thank you all.

Thank you all very much.

Now, what?

Okay.

(Everyone's talking about Buk Gon?)

What's this?

"Hello, it's Buk Gon."

"Everything moves so fast."

Buk Gon joined the live chatroom.

I noticed that he doesn't have
much work these days.

Lots of people are greeting him.

"Hello, Gon."

"Hello, Buk."

(Hello, Buk Gon!)

I really can't read
because it's scrolling by so fast.

So many people are saying hi.

Buk Gon said he's excitedly waiting
in Mapo-gu for a possible job.

(Come and play, Buk Gon!)

Someone asked if this is
Buk Gon's commercial.

We're not advertising his services.

We have over 30,000 viewers now.

Thank you very much.

It's time to get to
the real reason we're doing this.

We want to create a stage...

that looks and feels like winter.

Here's what I'll call it.

"Operation: Saving Winter Songs".

A show that no one does,
that's rarely thought of.

How Do You Play? would like to
create a special something with you.

(How Do You Play?)

There were so many songs
like this back in the day.

(Operation: Saving Winter Songs)

That's a pity.

What are some songs you remember
when you think of winter?

(What are some songs you remember
when you think of winter?)

I have a list of songs that
remind me of winter.

I came up with the list in advance.

So I wonder what kind of
winter songs you want to listen to.

Of course, we listen to carols
in winter.

But you can spread your net wide.

Let's see if your preferences
and my preference match.

I'd like to share some songs
as we communicate today.

"White Winter" by Mr. 2.

I wrote down "White Winter" by Mr. 2
on my list.

Why don't we listen to it?
It's been a while.

("White Winter" by Mr. 2)

(This debut song of Mr. 2
was released on October 16, 1993.)

(It was very popular
that you could hear...)

(the song playing
on the street all day long.)

(- It's my first time hearing it.
- It totally sounds like winter.)

(- It brings back memories.
- I love the bell in the intro.)

(After seeing you with another man)

(Engrossed in the song)

My gosh, what do you think?

(- He didn't read the answers.
- He's totally into the song.)

(Stop singing,
so we can communicate.)

(Bursting into laughter)

Someone wrote, "Chief Yu?"

(On one snowy, wintery night,)

(Chief Yu loved singing.)

That's right.

I came here alone today.

My colleagues didn't join me.
It's just me today.

(- He looks just like my chief.
- Stop it, Chief Yu.)

(Mr. 2's copycat, Mr. Yu)

Actually, I think
of "White Winter" by Mr. 2...

in winter.

But I'm not sure
if people know this song.

Some of you are saying,
"Yes, this is it."

But there are some people
who don't know the song.

I'm sure this song is new
to some of you.

How old is our youngest writer?

I was born in 1994.

What? In 2007?

- 1994.
- 1994.

She was born in 1994.
Then, where did 2007 come from?

I was shocked.
"Was she born in 2007?"

"Rumor has it that the youngest
writer is 14." No, that's not true.

There was a misunderstanding
between us.

The youngest writer
was born in 1994.

Someone wrote,

"I was born in 2007,
but I don't know this song."

Someone said, "I wish
I could say I didn't know the song."

But you know this song, right?
The intro with the bells.

Mariah Carey's song.

(- This is a must-listen-to song.
- I bet everyone knows this song.)

(- It's the epitome of Christmas.
- Even my dog knows this song.)

(Among Christmas albums,
her album sold the most copies.)

(It's a representative
Christmas carol song,)

(beloved by the whole world.)

(All I want for)

(Christmas)

(Is you)

Baby

(Vocalizing)

"Snow" by Zion.T.

"Let It Go",
the soundtrack from "Frozen".

"White War" by Young Turks Club.
"December" by Turbo.

That's right.

(Can't you see)

(That you're behind me)

Someone said that I knew
how to have fun with songs.

You know, my spectrum of music...

is very thin but wide.

I listened to all the songs
from old to recent songs. Yes.

This is it.
"Bit by Bit" by Brown Eyes.

Gosh, this is a great song too.

(It was released
in the winter of 2020.)

(The bitterness of a breakup
suits the season well.)

(- Brown Eyes' songs are emotional.
- There's "Don't Go, Don't Go".)

("Bit by Bit".)

(- Chief Yu is back.
- He pours energy into lip-syncing.)

(From time to time)

(I think about you again)

(- Singing with his nasal voice.
- Your mouthing is totally off.)

(Sing it with your voice.
Be confident.)

Hold on. "Variety shows always play
it when there's a watermelon seed."

(Snorting)

(- Get a grip, Mr. Yu.
- Who said that? That was real.)

(He's snorting a lot today.)

Some songs are used
for certain scenes, you know?

There are some songs that
get played a lot on variety shows.

All right. It's finally mentioned.

"Happy Christmas"
by Country Kko Kko.

"Happy Christmas" is...

one of the songs
I cannot forget in the wintertime.

(- Tak Sama!
- It's my favorite song.)

("Happy Christmas"
by Country Kko Kko)

It's "Happy Christmas"
by Country Kko Kko.

(It's from Country Kko Kko's
carol album.)

(This cheerful song was beloved
for its funny choreography.)

(As soon as it begins,
he's getting excited.)

Gosh, this song.

Do you know this song?
Aren't you already excited?

(- Why do I know this song?
- It's Christmas already.)

(- That's some cute footwork.
- Of course, I know.)

This is the dance.

(- He's having a blast.
- I'm done sleeping for the night.)

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas)

(The song makes every cell
in our body dance.)

(- He's not lip-syncing anymore.
- He likes this for real.)

(- He can't stop dancing.
- It sounds like Elvis' song.)

(Buk Gon TV: Jae Seok,
you're a dancing machine.)

"I got up from my bed."
"I want to dance like crazy."

"I'm dancing too." "This is it.
Jae Hoon is the best singer."

I was a huge fan
of Country Kko Kko's songs.

That's why one of
my favorite winter songs...

is "Happy Christmas".

My gosh, this song... Goodness.

It looks like a lot of you
remember this song.

Someone wrote, "It'd be nice
to listen to Mr. Tak sing again."

"Tak Jae Hoon sang this song
when he was handsome."

(Laughing)

Back then, he was really hot.

"Isn't Tak Jae Hoon a comedian?"
He's not.

It's just that he was
on a lot of variety shows.

He's a singer
who can be really witty.

Someone who was born in 2007
knows this very song.

We finally became one.

"I want to dance like crazy."
Yes, that's how I feel too.

I'm not talking about dancing
at a concert or anything.

I just want to dance with you guys.

I really want to sing and dance
with everyone.

(- COVID-19, take a hint.
- I feel the same way.)

I knew someone would name this song.

"Merry Christmas in Advance" by IU.

This is a great song.

(Operation: Saving Winter Songs,
"Merry Christmas in Advance" by IU)

(It was released
in the winter of 2010.)

(It's a steady winter song
that always makes a comeback.)

"The best song." I agree.

"I become the heroine of a drama
when I listen to it with hot cocoa."

(The expression sticks perfectly.)

Someone wrote that she becomes
the heroine of a drama...

when she listens to it
with hot cocoa. That's right.

That's true. Yes.

Everyone, shout it with me!

"Yes! It's winter!"

(- Yes!
- Yes!)

(It's like this year is
already over.)

(- He is getting excited again.
- Do a joint performance with IU.)

(- It transports me back in time.
- I can't wait for his singing.)

(When the whole world becomes white)

(IU would be busy.)

"IU would be busy."

(- That was brutally honest.
- You spoiled the mood.)

(- She's busy during this season.
- But Buk Gon isn't busy.)

All of my excitement
just went away. I'm serious.

Right.

Yes. It's hard to get her
to join me on this show.

Someone wrote, "It'll be harder to
cast Country Kko Kko than IU."

(Snorting)

My gosh.

Those words actually hurt.

Gosh, it hurts.

That went right into my ribs.
Who wrote that?

My gosh. A lot of people here
are brutally honest.

Here's what Buk Gon wrote.

"I'll resent myself
for not making a winter song."

(- Buk Gon is still here.
- He'll join Jae Seok soon.)

(Hey, Buk Gon.)

This song is finally mentioned.

I also wrote down
"Snow Flower" by Park Hyo Shin.

(Operation: Saving Winter Songs,
"Snow Flower" by Park Hyo Shin)

(- Gosh, captain.
- This is the legend.)

(It was the soundtrack
of a winter drama in 2004,)

("I'm Sorry, I Love You".)

(- It's winter now.
- I miss my first love.)

(Am I crying?)

(Faint memories)

My gosh.

(- He's sentimental all of a sudden.
- What's happening?)

Gosh, I should have coffee
with this song.

(All of a sudden?)

(Sighing)

(- I agree that you need coffee now.
- Yes, that was smooth.)

(I want some coffee too.)

I'm reminded of So Ji Sub
and Lim Soo Jung.

I miss you guys. I really do.

Someone wrote,
"I just took out my UGG boots."

(- Same here.
- I'm wearing a bandana.)

(Where's my rainbow knitted dress?)

I love you guys.

My gosh. How can you guys so funny?

(- He's getting into it again.
- His nostrils are flaring.)

"Do you want to die with me
or go out with me?"

Do you want to eat with me?

Or die with me?

"Do you want to go out with me
or die with me?"

"Do you want to eat with me
or drink coffee with me?"

(- He got into the role.
- Stop it.)

I got into the role too much.

How about this song?

It's one of the songs I recommended.

It follows Mariah Carey's song.

It's "Bring Me Love" by John Legend.

Do you want to listen to this song?
What about this song?

I'm so into this song these days.

"Bring Me Love".

(It was a Christmas carol
released in the winter of 2018.)

(It's loved for its cheerful rhythm
and his unique, heartwarming voice.)

(- He knows a lot of good songs.
- This is such a great song!)

(- My gosh, I love it.
- It's a legendary song.)

(He starts dancing right away.)

(- Seeing him dance makes me happy.
- Santa Claus is going to come.)

(Rudolph, get ready.)

(Dancing)

(- The Dooly Dance is the best.
- You've got some groove.)

Someone wrote, "I'm home,
but I think I can see my breath."

Everyone, it's winter.

(It's winter,
but we can't enjoy this.)

It's the year-end vibe. This is it.

This is what I want to do
for this special.

I want to invite some singers
with great winter songs,

so we can give you
a small present in some way.

"Will you invite John Legend
to your show?" Yes, I'll try.

I'll try it.

"Make sure to quarantine
yourself for two weeks."

"Then, Christmas will be over."

(- If he comes, it'll be legendary.
- I'm looking forward to this.)

(Will he really come?)

I knew this song would be mentioned.

It's Moon Sae's song.

Many of his songs...

are perfect for winter.

(Operation: Saving Winter Songs,
"An Old Love" by Lee Moon Sae)

("An Old Love" by Lee Moon Sae)

(A melodious song released in 1991,)

(the character of the lyrics is
singing this song in winter.)

(He's the same even after 30 years.
A legendary singer after another.)

(The man with many great songs.
His voice touches my heart.)

(Under the empty sky)

(When lights are turned on)

(About to cry)

(He's crying.
I'm making that face too.)

I seriously love Moon Sae's songs.

Someone just said,

"I feel like I'm breaking up
with my nonexistent boyfriend."

Some other people said
they at least want to go skiing.

Another person suddenly said,

"What should I do? I feel like
I should get enlisted again."

(I hope he comes out
with a guitar.)

You're all so funny.

Oh, songs like this one.

You all know "The Wind Blows"
by Lee So Ra, right?

So Ra is just amazing.

(Operation: Saving Winter Songs,
"The Wind Blows" by Lee So Ra)

("The Wind Blows" by Lee So Ra)

(Released in winter of 2004,)

(a song about farewell with
heartbreaking and delicate lyrics)

(Only So Ra can pull this off.)

(This song is insane.)

(Her emotions are unbelievable.)

I want to feel this song with you.

(I want to feel this song with you.)

Gosh, this is really great.

(The wind blows in my heart. It's my
healing song. I want to see her.)

This song itself is already great,

and it touches us even more
because of the times we're in.

Recently, whenever
I listen to songs like these,

it touches somewhere
very deep inside my heart.

The song comes through my ears,
goes through my brain,

and stabs into my heart,

filling it up entirely.

(It's touching. This winter, I can't
go see a concert. I totally get it.)

I wrote this song down too,
and someone else just said it.

Yoon Jong Shin has
great songs such as "Like It."

This is an awesome song.
It was released in summer,

but began to climb up the chart
in winter?

I listened to this a lot
at the end of the year.

(The master of expressing
the characteristics of a loser)

(This song always makes me cry.)

(I'm opening a bottle of soju.)

(Are you asleep?)

And songs like this one.

We have to listen to this in winter.
"I Miss You" by Kim Bum Soo.

You have to listen to this
in winter.

("I Miss You" by Kim Bum Soo)

(Released in 2003 as the soundtrack
of "Stairway to Heaven")

(It's an ardent winter song
that went perfectly with the drama.)

(Love always returns.)

(Jung Seo! Han Jung Seo!)

(I remember this.)

(The handsome singer's
beautiful voice.)

Can we get...
How many people could we invite?

That's what I'm worried about.

(Let's save Bum Soo
for the Ugly Festival.)

Someone just said
we should save Bum Soo...

for the Ugly Festival.

(The sweet armed guerilla.)

(You'll lose him if you save him.)

My gosh, I remember
the Ugly Festival.

(The Ugly Festival
remains in our memories...)

I miss everyone who was there.

I remember Go Chang Suk too. Right?

(Everyone was so precious.)

(I'm hot. I'm very hot.)

(Let's do the Ugly Festival again.)

(Winter songs
for the Ugly Festival?)

I remember Kwon Sang Woo too.

It makes me want to put on a beanie
and become a hermit crab.

Yes. "Love always returns."

Someone said,

"I've never dated anyone before,
but it reminds me of my ex."

And there are many more,
including the ones I picked out.

We can't leave this out.
Winter is all about "Goblin".

"I Will Go to You Like the First
Snow" by Ailee, from "Goblin".

("I Will Go to You
Like the First Snow" by Ailee)

(Released in 2016,
from the soundtrack of "Goblin")

(Her amazing performance
and the popularity of the drama...)

(turned this song into
one of the winter songs.)

(She's insanely good.)

(I automatically summoned
my red muffler.)

(All of my days were great
as I listened to Ailee sing.)

(This is what's called music.)

(Amazed)

As we listen to this,

everyone is saying they love this
streaming today, the real winter.

Everyone, I'll do my best...

to prepare a little something
for our winter.

Everyone, thank you
for joining me today...

in the midst of your busy day.

Operation: Saving Winter Songs
begins now.

Goodbye, everyone.

(See you! Bye-bye!
I just got here. Great work!)

(Live streaming top chats)

(The live streaming is over.)

I wonder how many people
we could invite.

It's great to listen to
all these winter songs together.

It's better than
listening to these alone.

That's exactly why... Hey.

(If Jae Seok isn't in this world)

(What's the fun in living life)

- Goodness, Buk Gon.
- When the sun shines, Jae Seok

- When the moon comes up, Jae Seok
- Sit down.

Jae Seok is the best

Jae Seok, I'm a subscriber
of the How Do You Play? channel.

I saw the alarm
and watched the show.

- Wait, hey. You live nearby, right?
- I do.

- Right?
- Yes.

What's your take on
Operation: Saving Winter Songs?

- Sounds great.
- There aren't many seasonal songs.

You're right.
And all these singers are legendary.

- Exactly.
- It won't be easy to get them.

Can you really get Country Kko Kko?
They'll be tougher than IU.

I said this before,

but one of my favorite winter songs
is "Happy Christmas."

In Rodeo Street in Apgujeong-dong,

that song was played
in every corner.

Do you remember back then?

Country Kko Kko, especially
Jae Hoon, was amazingly popular.

- I remember.
- He was so popular.

He sounded kind of like
Elvis Presley too.

- Right.
- The way he sings.

- And his eloquence.
- I remember.

That's how he got his break.

Should we call...
I haven't seen him for a long time.

You should see him. I heard
he's in Jeju half of the time.

Really?
Then let's do this with Jae Hoon.

Then should we put on an outfit
that reminds us of that time?

- There's the trend back then.
- There is.

Let's bring back that vibe.

Then let's go back to the 2000s.

Back then, Bae Yong Joon
and "Winter Sonata" were huge.

Wait, I once tried dressing up
like him from "Winter Sonata,"

and people asked
if I was Coach Stielike.

(I dressed up like him,
and people asked if I was Stielike.)

People kept saying
I looked like Coach Stielike.

I wonder where he is now.
My gosh, seriously.

From the late 90s to the mid-2000s,
we have Cyworld.

- Cyworld?
- The Cyworld vibe.

Let's find someone
who'd be a good fit.

Sounds great.

(They'll go around
in a red-nosed Rudolph car.)

Do you have an away game today?

- Right, everyone.
- Coach.

I look like someone from that time.

(Do you remember those days?)

I totally remember this.

Back then, jersey jackets...

- and cargo pants were huge.
- Yes.

- And the hairstyle is important.
- Right.

(Back then, we all got
the shaggy cut.)

Let's hop in, then.

I'm on my way to see
some soccer players.

I have to catch up so much
when I see Jae Hoon.

(The mini homepage
for Operation: Saving Winter Songs)

Gosh, the khaki cargo pants.
All men had these.

- We don't wear these now.
- We don't.

- But I can't throw these out.
- Me neither.

- These khaki cargo pants.
- Yes.

Can Jae Hoon sing
as well as he used to?

- We have to audition.
- We do.

We have to make him sing.

- Coach, we have to do this.
- No matter what. We have to.

I get a lot of legendary scenes
whenever I'm with you.

Thanks for taking me in again.

- Gosh, time flies. You came...
- Right.

because you're good.
I didn't take you in.

You came to help us out.

But I'm always grateful...

because your fans are
very warm on your website...

Why... Why in the world...

are you a part of my fan website?

Jae Seok, I'm that grateful.

Anyway, how do you work out
in the midst of your schedule?

I need to make time for it.

I thought you worked out at home
since you're that busy.

It'll get really chaotic
if I left anything at home.

- My kids might get hurt.
- I see.

You're right.

There's not even enough space
for me at home.

I'd step on toys and fall down
going to the bathroom at night.

"Hello, my friends."

(Hello, my friend Jae Seok.)

I had no idea what it was like
before I had my own kids.

- Exactly.
- I'm serious.

Many members of
the moms' forum...

- can connect with you.
- They can.

We're preparing winter songs
for those members.

- Yes, all for those members.
- Sounds great.

This is great. It's great.

Hey, that's it. It says,
"The Association of Evil Gift".

I see Jae Hoon's name there.

Gosh, look at this guy.

(The evil yet gifted man is
playing the harmonica.)

It must be downstairs.

This place?
The PR and consulting office?

It's in the basement?

(His performance
reaches the climax.)

What is this? "Master of PR"?
I doubt we got this office.

There are disinfectants out here.

What's going on?

(Opening the door)

What's going on?

(Laughing)

Jae Hoon.

S. Papa?

- Who is it?
- Jae Hoon, it's me.

- S. Papa?
- Jae Hoon.

(Laughing)

What is this?

What... What is it?
What brings you all the way here?

- Jimi Yu.
- He's Uli Stielike.

- Gosh, Defconn is here too.
- Jae Hoon.

Is this really your office?

I opened up a little office.

- Take a seat.
- Is this really yours?

Yes, of course.

Did you borrow this
for the shooting?

No way, who would
borrow a fake office?

Does your father use this place?

See? There's my name and everything.

- Hey, what is this?
- Take a name card.

Are you starting a new TV show?

No way, what show?
I'm not doing anything.

Wait, I... You two should
sit on the money cushion.

It's okay.

I'm not doing well,
so I'll sit here.

I haven't been doing well.

What do you mean,
you haven't been doing well?

I'm not that great these days.
I'll sit on the money cushion.

I'll take the 50,000-won bills.

Jae Hoon, why do you mumble...

So what's going on?
Do you live in Jeju or here?

- Half and half.
- I stay in Jeju,

then I stay here when I work.
I go back and forth.

- What do you do in Jeju?
- I go there to heal.

- Pardon?
- To heal?

- Healing your mind?
- I just relax.

Anyway, are you preparing
to start a business?

Oh, this? I just opened up
my own PR agency...

called "PR King".

So did you start
your own online broadcast?

Well, I think I'm overqualified
just to do an online broadcast.

But I can't host my own TV show.

(Embarrassed)

I don't think I'm not good enough
to host a TV show yet.

- It's hard to tell.
- I'm trying to figure out...

something that would suit me,
but it's not easy.

- By the way, Jae Hoon,
- Yes?

it seems you decorated your office
just like Original Entertainment's.

That's not true.
I've never been to your office.

Don't lie to me. The office layout
is the same as my office.

I'm pretty sure you benchmarked
Jimi Yu's office.

You must've watched the episodes.

- I said that's not true.
- You have Solomon's seal tea here.

I didn't know I had
Solomon's seal tea here.

(His office is decorated
similarly to Jimi Yu's office,)

(and he has the same kind of tea
in his office.)

- I think he improvised this place.
- Really?

I told you, I didn't watch it.
I didn't have time for that either.

I didn't even have a chance
to see Jimi Yu's office.

Seeing that you call me Jimi Yu,
you must've watched the show.

No, but I heard that name.

I heard it because it's
all over the Internet.

Really?

I was going to come alone,

- but Dae Buk Gon was nearby, so...
- I've been tagging along with him.

- Where is the other one?
- Who?

- You mean, Jongbell?
- Yes.

So you watched our show.

- What's wrong with that?
- Gosh, seriously.

Am I not allowed to watch it?
Is it illegal or what?

No, that's not what I mean.

- Why didn't you just say so?
- Fine. I watched it.

- Exactly.
- He watched every episode.

I watch "My Little Old Boy" too.

Why did you pretend
you never watched it?

- Why would you watch that?
- Why wouldn't I?

Why would you watch it?
It's embarrassing for me.

Why are you embarrassed?
I want to see Kim Jong Kook too.

I don't want anyone I know
to watch it...

Jong Kook asks me once
every two weeks if I watched it.

- I don't want anyone to watch it.
- Don't be ridiculous.

I agreed to be on the show because
I thought no one would see me.

That's enough. Stop saying that.

You two haven't seen each other
in a while.

- It's been a long time.
- Exactly. He said it earlier too.

I haven't met him on a TV show
like this in almost 10 years.

That's right. We haven't been
on the same show in a long time.

- The last time was...
- It's been so long.

in the 10th anniversary special
episode of "Happy Together"...

- in 2012.
- It's been a very long time.

That was the last time
we appeared on the same show.

(Jae Hoon appeared on
"Happy Together" 8 years ago.)

(You've been the main MC
of many shows.)

(Then why are you becoming
less and less popular?)

(You could've asked that
in a nicer way.)

(I never intended to lose
my popularity.)

(Laughing)

(I bet someone caused me
to lose my popularity.)

(Or maybe I was set up.)

- We met on personal occasions...
- Yes.

or talked on the phone.

When you won the award
last year, I congratulated you...

with a hug.
Have you forgotten about it?

Oh, you... You gave me a hug too?
I see.

I was sitting far away from you,
but I went to hug you anyway.

(At "2019 SBS
Entertainment Awards"...)

(Jae Seok won the Grand Award.)

(While his fellow entertainers were
congratulating him with a hug,)

(someone was coming up to him
from far away.)

(He came a long way...)

(to give Jae Seok a hug
for 1 second.)

(Jae Seok walked away shortly.)

- I gave him a hug.
- Thank you for that.

Didn't I give you a hug
when you won the Grand Award?

I congratulated you
from the bottom of my heart.

When was that?

(It was 2007.)

(When Jae Hoon won the Grand Award
at "2007 KBS Entertainment Awards",)

(among a lot of people
who came to congratulate him,)

(Jae Seok was there too.)

Of course, I remember that.

When I was beginning to establish
myself as an entertainer,

- he treated me to nice meals.
- That's so thoughtful of him.

He helped me a lot.

- He helped his junior entertainers.
- I went to his house-warming party.

He rarely drinks,

but he got so excited
and got drunk that day.

He got drunk with only two glasses.

- My gosh. That's not true.
- With only two glasses?

Everyone else just started drinking,
but he was already drunk...

- after drinking two glasses.
- He was already drunk.

Jae Hoon and I hung out
together very often.

He treated his junior entertainers
very nicely.

He seemed so relaxed whenever
he met his junior entertainers.

He used to say things like this
so often.

"Hey, do you want to
go to the movies?"

- Yes, I did that a lot.
- Yes.

"Hey, do you want to go to
the movies? What are you doing now?"

- I did that a lot.
- Yes, you did.

"What are you doing?
What are your plans for today?"

"Do you want to eat with me
later today?"

Why are you repeating it
so many times?

(Stop it. I'm embarrassed.)

Jae Hoon, you said in an interview
that you wish to be born...

- like Jae Seok in your next life.
- Did you say that?

Why would you say such a thing
when he's right here?

Should I have said it
when he was gone?

- Why would you say it here?
- That could hurt his pride.

Hey, listen. Coach Stielike.

Are you here
just to say things like that?

Since it's been a while...

- Can you make some tea for us?
- Sure.

Don't do it yourself.
Let Jae Hoon do it.

Jae Hoon, you do it.

Please give us
some Solomon's seal tea?

What I was trying to say...

- Aren't these too big...
- I want Solomon's seal tea.

- This is for me.
- I see.

- He's going to drink coffee.
- Gosh, seriously.

- I told you that too, Dae Buk Gon.
- About what?

Even when he had no money,

Jae Hoon never seemed poor.

He looked rich always.

You have this vibe of a rich man,
you know?

That's pointless
because my life is a mess.

There's no point in
looking like a rich man.

Jae Hoon, you didn't throw away
that Country Kko Kko ornament.

Oh, that?

- Yes.
- Exactly.

There were 2, but I got rid of 1.

Because we're not a duo anymore.

Right. That's a shame.

(Pouring)

- Is it safe to use a plastic cup?
- Why?

- It can release harmful chemicals.
- Endocrine disruptors.

No. Don't worry. I reuse those cups.

- What are you talking about?
- I think he's telling us the truth.

There are 2 for visitors, 1 for
an employee, and 1 for himself.

Jae Hoon, why do you think
we came to see you?

Why did you come to see me?

These days, singers don't make
winter songs, you know.

That was a long time ago.

Just as I said, it became hard...

to hear winter songs
at some point.

That's true.

So... The title is...

- Operation: Saving Winter Songs.
- Operation: Saving Winter Songs.

I see. Does it mean that you guys
will save the old winter songs...

that we used to listen to?

Especially the songs
that I want to listen to.

You know how much I loved
Country Kko Kko's songs.

- He's been a big fan of our songs.
- Give me

(Give me)

(A kiss)

(Tonight)

(Kiss me on the lips)

(With your soft lips)

(Give me the love potion)

(Singing)

- Goodness, you.
- My gosh.

It reminded me of the old days.

Hey, go and bring me
a bottle of soju.

That's why I came here first
with Dae Buk Gon.

We're here to invite you
to our show.

But I'm not sure
if people know my old song.

- Listen. I'll tell you something.
- Yes?

During the live broadcast,

someone who was born in 2007
knew your song.

- Indeed.
- Someone who was born in 2007?

That person is only 14 years old.

That means young people
actually search for old songs.

- They still like "Happy Christmas".
- Of course.

Some were surprised
when Jae Seok played the song.

- Really?
- "Is this Tak Jae Hoon's song?"

Tak Jae Hoon is not a comedian...

- who's good at singing.
- Exactly.

- We should let people know that.
- Tak Jae Hoon is a singer.

That's so good to hear.

You're the first singer for
Operation: Saving Winter Songs...

who is my favorite singer.

I'll give you
a brief introduction...

of Tak Jae Hoon, Country Kko Kko,
and S. Papa.

I'll see how much you know about me.

You made your debut
with your first solo album.

Jae Hoon...

(He debuted as
a solo folk singer in 1995...)

(with "The Way I Chose".)

- I liked this song too.
- It's a great song.

(Reminiscing the old memories)

(The flashy guitar strap)

(He showed up on stage
with eye-catching looks.)

- He was 27 back then.
- That's right.

- If he was 27...
- He was in the prime of his life.

- I was 27.
- Indeed.

But at the time, you were not
enchanting enough...

to fall in love with.
There was something missing.

And the way you pretend to play
the guitar didn't seem natural.

I was pretending.

(He's pretending
to play the guitar.)

(Overly awkward gestures)

What was the concept at the time?

I wanted to look like
a lonely rocker.

After that, you formed a duo
and became a funny singer.

"Oh! Happy" was such a great song.

(Oh, happy, boom-boom-boom)

("Oh! Happy" by Country Kko Kko)

He's holding his mic horizontally.

(Country Kko Kko's unique
and comical song and dance)

This is when you came to have
your unique style.

You wore colored glasses.

It was a good song.

When Jae Hoon sings,

he holds out his hand like this.

He does this.

Jae Hoon's mouth becomes twisted
when he sings.

- Right.
- Come on.

(They took note of his habit.)

(Twisted)

Your mouth becomes twisted
when you sing.

- Twisted?
- Yes.

In any case, I listened
to a lot of songs back then.

But I sing
Country Kko Kko's songs...

when I want to lift up my mood.

(My honey dreams of the moon world)

(Their good cheer is
at its max already.)

- "Conga".
- You guys know so much.

Of course.

Then Country Kko Kko released
"Gimme! Gimme!"

I am not lying when I say
that I could hear...

"Gimme! Gimme!" on every street.

("Gimme! Gimme!" by Country Kko Kko)

They wore bell-bottoms.

(This is fun.)

(Clapping)

Are you the dad?

- My goodness.
- I can't believe him.

(I remember how it was back then.)

(He is embarrassed.)

(The climax approaches.)

Let's go.

(He dances shyly.)

For goodness' sake.

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

(He stays seated and dances shyly.)

My goodness.

Seriously.

Jae Hoon, you are like a dad
who is watching TV on his day off.

It's just that I am nervous.

When you became a superstar
with "Gimme! Gimme!",

I was just starting to find
my footing...

in variety shows.

- You were a newbie.
- Yes.

When you were a newbie,
you were very shy.

I am still like that.

You seemed like someone
who has never been on a date.

Someone who has never met a woman.

- That was how shy he was.
- Yes.

I wasn't like that.

- You were totally like that.
- He was really naive.

You were hopeless back then.

It's a miracle that he became...

this big.

In any case,
you released an album of carols...

titled "Happy Christmas".

Listening to the album...

made me think, "Christmas is here."

("Happy Christmas"
by Country Kko Kko)

(Dancing)

(It will forever be)

(The night we celebrate)

Gosh.

I don't know if I should sing along.

(If you run away)

(I will chase after you)

(I will make a heart with snow)

My goodness.

(And give it to you)

He is like a singer now.

(The trumpet sound)

(Don't say a word)

(Singing)

Everybody!

(Let's sing together!)

Gosh, it's an old song.

(He gets up.)

(He can't stay seated.)

The place is too cramped.

The place is too cramped.

(He is the happiest.)

(They feel like
Christmas is here already.)

Hey, lock the door.

(This winter song was saved
in the semi-basement room.)

- Seriously.
- It's my favorite song.

It's on the list
of my favorite songs.

I am listening to this song again
thanks to you guys.

When was the last time
you sang the song?

It has been a while since I sang it.

- Really?
- Yes.

I must have sung it
after drinking beer two years ago.

Alone?

- Did you do it on Jeju Island?
- That's right.

- Did you sing alone?
- Yes.

It wasn't so fun to sing it alone.

I cried.

I see that it's fun to be
with just two more people.

But I am always alone.

The atmosphere is different
when I am with two more people.

In any case,

you released a hit after a hit
after that.

There is the song
I sang earlier, "Kiss".

"Kiss".

("Kiss" by Country Kko Kko)

(It's a fun dance song
that suits Jae Seok's taste.)

Please tell us about the song.

When was your first kiss?

(When was your first kiss?)

Why would you ask me that?

- The song made me wonder.
- The winter of the 12th grade.

Don't lie!

I am telling you the truth.
It was the winter of the 12th grade.

There is no way
you kissed a woman then.

I am... I am married!

You got married
without a chance to kiss someone!

You tried really hard
to keep that a secret.

I didn't get married
without a chance to kiss someone!

Don't be ridiculous.

Everyone knows that about you.

You are someone who got married
without the first kiss.

What are you talking about?

You kept quiet
because you didn't want...

to hear people say stupid things
about it.

I hushed up a few people.

I can't believe you.

I did it to protect you.

Thank you. Thank you.

You always went around
with chapped lips.

(Mischievous)

The next song is "Oh, My Julia".

- "Oh, My Julia".
- The original song is...

- by the band, The Checkers.
- That's right.

I listened to this song a lot
when I was in high school.

("Oh, My Julia" by Country Kko Kko)

How cool!

(Her big and black eyes)

(Singing passionately)

Jae Hoon was the coolest back then.

Look at his hairstyle.

There is a celebrity
you were compared to back then.

- Who?
- Kimura Takuya.

Gosh.

I was very popular back then.

- You were insanely popular.
- Yes.

What use is that?
In the end, I am living alone.

You got married
before you had your first kiss,

but you are living well.

Tell us how you got married
before you had your first kiss.

That's absolutely ridiculous.

I had my first kiss
before I got married.

(He is cute.)

In 2004, you debuted as S. Papa.

It was shocking.

- I see.
- I didn't recognize you.

You debuted as S. Papa,
not Tak Jae Hoon.

I wanted to release music
without revealing my face.

You are the first one
who used the alter ego.

There was no concept
of an alter ego back then.

- I aimed for the air of mystery.
- S. Papa.

People found out that it's me...

- in two days.
- In the beginning,

you released music
without revealing your face.

When people showed no interest
in S. Papa's identity,

you revealed it yourself.

You thought
people would make a fuss about...

- the singer's identity.
- I thought they would be curious.

I thought they would be curious.

- "Who is he?"
- That's right.

Since no one was interested,

you revealed it yourself.

S. Papa means So Yul's papa, right?

That's right. So Yul's papa.

S. Papa's songs were nice.

- "What a Relief".
- Yes.

(Let's stop)

(Let's end it here)

What was up with your face
back then?

- Nothing was up with it.
- Your clothes became shabby...

back then.

I had a lot of work,
but my heart was empty.

(Empty)

Your hair was limp too.

This is news to me.

S. Papa was going to have
a solo concert.

But when only a handful of tickets
got sold,

you said you had
vocal cord nodules.

(Laughing)

Vocal cord nodules!

(S. Papa cancels
the 1st solo concert in 4 years.)

Was that the excuse?

- I can't believe it.
- My goodness.

Where did you come up
with this information?

- They know so much.
- Look at that.

Dae Buk Gon, look at that.

Can you play Omok?

(He changes the subject.)

Of course, I do.

Is the information correct?

Please tell us.

Do you guys work with a detective?

Where did you get that information?

- Is it true?
- Is it true?

- What?
- Is the information correct?

I got vocal cord nodules
when the ticket sales were bad.

The ticket sales were bad.

- The timing was perfect.
- Both reasons contributed.

- Bad things happen at once.
- That's right.

But I must ask,

why did you sing ballad songs
as S. Papa?

I wanted to change up
the atmosphere.

I wanted to change it up,

but it wasn't easy.

Stop talking about that.

- We are done anyway.
- Really?

We need to leave now.

I will feel so lonely
if you guys just leave like that.

What am I supposed to do?

- In any case, please sing.
- Please sing.

You need to wake up
the winter cells in our bodies.

- The winter cells.
- The love cells...

in our bodies.

You have no love cells in your body.

- Me?
- Yes.

- In winter...
- He found a way to tease you.

- You never dated a woman.
- My goodness.

That's so funny.

But I can't sing those songs alone.

I will help you by your side.

- Can you do that?
- Of course.

Which song should we sing first?

- "Happy Christmas"?
- It can be any song.

- Let's sing it.
- Shall we?

The happy men's Christmas party
will begin.

It's "Happy Christmas"
by Country Kko Kko.

Happy Christmas.

(They changed to suit
the vibe of the song.)

(Dancing)

Merry Christmas.

Okay.

(They show good teamwork
from the start.)

Go!

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas)

(Shaking)

(In any case)

(Christmas finally came)

(His vocal shines despite the music
from the karaoke machine.)

(Absorbed)

(The night we celebrate)

(The true fan
hasn't had a part yet.)

(I waited for 12 months)

(The day is finally here
Close your eyes)

(Don't say a word)

(Singing)

(The beat makes them dance.)

Aren't you going to sing?

(Make the white snow fall
so that we can roll together)

That was great.

(They are absorbed in the song.)

(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas)

(It's here)

(The night we celebrate)

- All right.
- Jae Hoon!

- It was great.
- It was fun.

I realized once again...

that there is nothing
Jeong Hwan does.

Seriously. You should have given him
some parts.

I once caught him sending a text.

(Mischievous)

- Let's sing "Kiss".
- Let's do that.

Let's sing "Kiss".

- "Kiss".
- It will be a good song for you.

This week on "Show! Music Core".

- The first-place candidate.
- It goes like this.

- "Kiss" by Country Kko Kko.
- He does this.

(Jae Hoon starts singing
the first line as expected.)

It was impossible not to love her
and her silky black hair

(Dancing)

(I have fallen into)

(That deep love)

(Falling)

(Her pretty two eyes came at me)

(And shed tears)

(On my heart)

Nice. Very nice.

(He can sing the song nicely
as he's a singer.)

It brings my heart to tears

I have so many memories

(Jae Hoon who was shy earlier...)

(is engrossed in his memories.)

(Don't)

(Leave me)

(Come back to me)

(Give me a kiss)

(Give me your love potion
with your moist lips)

(Vocalizing)

Before tonight is over

(Country Kko Kko's song...)

(wakes up Jae Seok's love DNA
in his heart.)

- My gosh.
- Goodness, Jae Seok.

At this rate, this year is going
to be over pretty soon.

- We'll stay up all night long.
- You have so many good songs.

- Let's sit down.
- Okay. Let's sit.

- This is nice.
- My gosh.

Why don't we get some rest?

(He's out of breath.)

Why did you come here? You're
making me walk down memory lane.

Let's do this.

- Let's make memories for people.
- Let's do this together.

But is this possible?
What if people hate me?

- Why would they hate you?
- Gosh.

How would you know
what it's like to be hated?

(Laughing)

You know nothing about being hated.

Hey, you don't know anything.

- Jae Hoon, why...
- Have you ever been criticized?

- Why are you getting mad?
- Seriously.

- You said that wouldn't happen.
- My gosh.

- Why was I hated all this time?
- My gosh.

- Okay.
- You got quiet.

- I got it.
- What was all that, then?

Hey, guess what happened to me.

- I'm saying it because I'm worried.
- I'm saying you shouldn't worry.

"Why would they hate you?"

Gosh, you won't be hated
on the show. They'll like you.

I saw them just last week too.

I saw people who were
hating me behind my back.

Anyway, join us for
Operation: Saving Winter Songs.

Are you sure I can do this?

- Of course.
- What if people hate me?

Well, that's a possibility.

- You don't know until you try it.
- You have to try it.

- You should've said that first.
- Yes.

- I'm sorry. I got caught up.
- That would make me feel better.

You might be criticized.
But as for that,

a lot of people will welcome you.
So you should do it for them.

If they criticize me, I'll go AWOL.

- Okay. I got it.
- Okay? Don't hate me for that.

Jae Hoon. Join us for this project.

Thank you.

Jae Hoon,
you can't undergo surgery...

for the vocal cord nodules
on the day of the concert.

- I won't let that slide.
- You must take care of yourself.

If you use that excuse,
I won't let you slide.

You must take good care of yourself.

You should let me know
how many tickets got sold.

- Okay.
- Take good care of yourself.

- I was traumatized because of that.
- Take good care of your voice.

Okay. Thank you for coming here.

Bye. Hoon Jae, I'll get going.

- Okay. Call me.
- Thank you. I'll call you.

Don't make me call you first.

I'll call you. Fine.

- Don't make me call you first.
- Okay. I'll call first.

When I get curious,
I'll end up calling you.

- Okay.
- Okay?

You came here and made a mess here.

Why did he come?
Gosh, this is why he came.

My gosh. Are we really doing a show?
I can't trust him.

(Mini-homepage for
Operation: Saving Winter Songs)

(Yu Jae Seok, Dae Buk Gon,
Tak Jae Hoon)

(Several days later)

(On a snowy winter day,)

(she accidentally sees him.)

(she calls out his name
in case it's him.)

(Jun Sang.)

(Jun Sang of "Winter Sonata" is back
as his first love called for him.)

(Did they make this snowman
together last winter?)

(You look just like him
from head to toe.)

(It's really you, Jun Sang, right?)

Hello. I'm Grasshopper Sama.

(Side bangs are a must.)

Ji Sub.

(A man came all the way
from Australia...)

(when someone called for him.)

(Ji Sub of "I'm Sorry, I Love You")

(This isn't Kim Ji Sub.)

(Mister.)

(He walks away
when Dum-Dum calls for him.)

(He got to Korea
in that same outfit.)

- Ji Sub.
- Yes.

- Hey.
- Gosh, it's so cold.

Ji Sub. You're late for our meetup.

Yes. I'm sorry. I'm late.

It's so cold here.

By the way, what happened to you...

in the past years?

(The past 15 years
may have been too harsh on him.)

You look very different
from when you were in the drama.

I got hurt on my way here.

(He feels bad.)

Are you the actor, Bae Yong Joon?

- What?
- What?

Who are you?

- I'm Grasshopper Sama.
- Grasshopper Sama.

My gosh, I feel so bad.

Seriously.
Why did you dress up like that?

- Ji Sub.
- Yes?

We need to get going on our car.
Let's get on it first.

Okay.

(The main characters of the winter
dramas are in the winter of 2020.)

(They head over to the car.)

- Hold on.
- Are you driving?

You can get in the back seat.

I'll put on the seat belt.

(It's ready
for the rescue operation.)

- Where are we going?
- You'll come anyway.

- Yes.
- Then, what's the point of asking?

(He gets in the car without
asking for their destination now.)

It's cold in winter.

Hey, don't point out the obvious.

Of course, it's cold in winter.

(Covering and revealing)

When "I'm Sorry, I Love You"
and "Winter Sonata"...

- were airing,
- "I'm Sorry, I Love You".

I wanted to copy
his hairstyle and outfits.

(Back then,
people wanted to be like them.)

But I don't look anything
like Bae Yong Joon.

- Back then...
- You look very different.

- Hey, I'm not the only one.
- Yes?

Your outfit looks fine, but
your face looks nothing like him.

(His coat, scarf,
and horn-rimmed glasses)

You look nothing like him.

Hey, you look
nothing like the actor too.

- My gosh. Come on. Let's go.
- Okay.

(They find each other's faces
funny whenever they look.)

Why are you showing
your pale shoulders? What is that?

- It's Ji Sub's signature trait.
- What?

My goodness. Who knew
I'd be looking at your shoulders.

But he was known for this.

Where are we going?

You don't know where we're going?

No. I don't know.

We're doing
the Operation: Saving Winter Songs.

- Really?
- What did you think we were doing?

I don't know.
I wanted to find out today.

(Hearing it from you would be
the most accurate.)

- You wanted to hear it from me.
- Yes.

What are some of
your favorite winter songs?

- I have a lot.
- Like what?

One of my favorites is
"White Winter".

- I mean... Yes.
- I knew it. When we were young,

we all listened to the bell intro.

I used to listen to that song
when I was waiting for...

my friend's girlfriend.
I'd be so excited.

Hold on.
Who's your friend's girlfriend?

- I mean...
- Hey, who were you waiting for?

I meant to say,

- a friend I loved.
- Why wait for your friend's girl?

- I mean...
- What happened?

That doesn't sound right.

No.

(As they remember the sounds
of the bells...)

(and one's friend's girlfriend
with this song,)

(they sing "White Winter" today.)

(Please wait for me)

(This still makes)

(My heart pound)

(Until I can love you again)

(They reminisce
about their white winter...)

(they've kept in their hearts.)

(And all the days we spent together)

(Until I shed tears
out of longing for you)

(Operation: Saving Winter Songs
sets out with their sentiment.)

My gosh.
Listening to a winter song...

(Teary eyes)

Where are we going?

What? We're almost there.

We're on our way to invite people.

- I see. To invite people?
- Yes.

- To invite singers?
- Then, who else?

What? Are we going to invite IU?

- Right. I hope she can join us.
- IU?

- Could it be...
- Who?

- We're here.
- Where are we?

- Shall we get going?
- Is this an office?

- This way?
- It looks like a house.

- It looks like a house to you?
- Yes.

(This mysterious singer of winter
is focused on his music.)

- Fifth floor? By stairs?
- What?

There's no elevator.

My gosh, why is it so cold?

(But he still doesn't
cover up his shoulder.)

(Who is waiting for them
on the 5th floor?)

(He enters through the door
with his snowman.)

- Jong Sam.
- Hey.

(Jae Seok figured out it was him
by just looking at his back.)

My goodness, Jong Sam.
Are you wearing your pajamas?

Is this your house?

It's been a while.

I came with Ji Sub.

What?

- Why did you dress up like that?
- It's so cold.

- Jong Shin.
- What are you doing?

Look at your clothes.

- It's been so long, Jong Shin.
- It's been so long.

- You were abroad.
- Yes.

So did you finish your project,
Nomad Project?

I couldn't finish it. It was
supposed to be a year-long project.

But what?

(Jong Shin left Korea
for Nomad Project.)

(He was able to face
new experiences as a foreigner.)

("Yoon Jong Shin Comes Back
after Finishing Nomad Project")

Well, there was COVID-19.
And my mom got sick.

- Right.
- So I came back in July.

I should be somewhere
in a foreign country now.

As for Jong Shin, you could say
that I basically raised him...

in the world of variety shows.

What are you talking about?

- Seriously. I was responsible...
- He was a good entertainer.

for bringing him
into the world of variety shows.

- Right.
- I basically...

- You asked me to join "Let's Go".
- Yes. It started with "Let's Go".

- "Old TV".
- "Family Outing". "Old TV".

- "Family Outing".
- Right.

- "Miracle Contestant".
- "Miracle Contestant".

- I practically spoon-fed you.
- Really?

Jae Seok was the one
who led me to real variety shows.

- I see.
- That's right.

I watched Jae Seok and realized
what variety shows were about.

Back then, I learned a lot
from watching him.

- I like him a lot, you know.
- Right.

- You should gain some weight.
- What?

- He's too skinny, isn't he?
- Right.

Your eyes and mouth
look even more protruding.

- He's funny. Wait, I remember it.
- Because you're skinny.

You're the president of NAPM, right?

(What kind of organization is NAPM?)

(The National Association
of Protruding Mouths)

(Who are the members?)

(Yu Jae Seok)

(Jung Sun Hee)

(Yoon Jong Shin)

But after I had my teeth corrected,
I left the association.

As a member of NAPM,

I was really disappointed in you.

- You said...
- I recommended braces to him too.

But your mouth is still protruding.

I know, right?

Your teeth are well aligned now,

but your mouth looks still the same.

My bone structure came out that way.

- Ji Sub, you shouldn't be so blunt.
- Yes? I'm sorry.

- You know?
- I was just glad to see him.

All right.

Jong Shin,
I've been thinking lately.

People always say
you and Seok Jin look alike, right?

But Seok Jin has...

- You and Seok Jin look more...
- an asymmetrical face.

Also, he's had work done.

- We're in different categories.
- Didn't you get a nose job?

He had his nose narrowed.
That doesn't really count.

- You can't put it like that.
- And Seok Jin is...

He still had plastic surgery,
whereas I'm all-natural.

Gosh, this is crazy.

Having chatted with you
reminds me...

that you're such a great talker.

Right, it's been a while
we had a chat together.

Back in the days,
Jong Shin and I used to meet...

at a cafe in Apgujeong-dong
only to chat away for 2 hours.

- You two still have it.
- And Jong Shin and I...

- are quite inseparable.
- You two have some connection.

- We go way back.
- That's right.

- So your debut was...
- It's been 30 years.

- 30 years?
- I debuted 1 year before Jae Seok.

- He debuted in 1990.
- Jae Seok debuted pretty early too.

- I debuted quite early.
- Right.

Since I debuted in 1990,
Roh Tae Woo was the president.

- Stop it. You went too far.
- My gosh.

- I understand.
- Russia was the Soviet Union then.

- That way, it really hits home.
- Right?

- The Soviet Union.
- Yes.

- The Soviet Union.
- Not Russia.

That's when I debuted.

Once again, I'd like to congratulate
your 30th anniversary.

Gosh, 30 years. That's amazing.

- This is not a joke.
- My gosh.

I respect you.

- Thank you.
- I mean it.

So far, he has released
a total of 21 albums.

- 21 albums?
- That's right. 21 albums.

Jong Shin has been writing
more than 500 songs.

- 500 songs?
- Nearly 600 songs.

You sang 300 songs out of them.

- Jong Shin, like your outfit,
- They are all masterpieces.

you're the ant
of the music industry.

Because he works hard.

He's been working hard like an ant.

I like it that way.

You have to keep
your inspiration going.

- You have a lot of hit songs.
- Indeed.

"Your Wedding Day",
"Friends and Lovers". Gosh.

- "On the Street".
- Right, "On the Street".

- When was it?
- Calling your name

(Calling your name and missing you)

(All day long)

- You sounded like Si Kyung.
- I'm not too bad, right?

- The nasal sound.
- This is my favorite song.

It was released in 2006,
so it's already been 14 years.

("On the Street"
by Sung Si Kyung in 2006)

- My favorite is "The Day Long Ago".
- That was really...

- That was really popular.
- I really loved that song.

("The Day Long Ago"
by Yoon Jong Shin)

- It brings back my old memories.
- That's me.`

It brings back my old memories.

What is this?

- "What is this?"
- I'm human!

You can't talk to a human
in that manner.

- I mean...
- I momentarily mistook you...

as a fish with a human face.

You gave me a scare.

You deserved
to be the president of NAPM.

Although I'm in no place
to say that.

- You look so young.
- I was only 25.

(His silvery voice was
at its best in his 20s.)

Your voice sounds young too.

- I had a thin voice.
- That's right.

- We can't leave out this song.
- Right.

"Departure" by Hareem.

("Departure" by Hareem)

- I used a stage name back then.
- What was it?

I was worried people might
be prejudiced against my name.

So what was your stage name?

- It was M.S.
- "M.S"?

- What does it stand for?
- Murky Soul.

That's what we did back then.

- "M.S"?
- Right.

That would make you more mysterious.

- Names like "Incurable Disease".
- I didn't know you had that name.

All right. One of the reasons
I came here with Ji Sub is...

that we've been in contact
with a few musicians.

- Really?
- Yes.

- Is there someone older than me?
- Well, I don't...

- We can't tell you everything.
- I see.

- Is that a secret?
- Yes, it is.

You're the first one I've met today.

- Right here.
- The thing is,

he only comes to work
once in two weeks.

- He doesn't know about last week.
- Is that so?

He knows where he's going
only when he gets dropped off.

I didn't even know you'd be here.

Anyway, I'm not sure if we can
label this as a winter song.

But for some reason,
winter reminds me of this song.

I see.

- "Like It" is definitely the best.
- Right.

- That's a masterpiece.
- It's the original late bloomer.

When it was released in June 2017,

- it was ranked 90th place first.
- Right.

And it moved up the chart
two months later.

("Like It" Tops the Chart
After Two Months.)

- Jong Shin, this song won you...
- Right.

1st place for the 1st time
in 27 years after your debut.

People thought I had already
been in the first place before.

- I thought so too.
- What about "The Day Long Ago"?

That made about 2nd to 3rd place...

- on "KBS Top 10 Songs".
- Really?

- That's news to me.
- His songs surprisingly...

You might think you can pull it off
since Jong Shin can.

- It's unthinkable.
- But his songs are really high.

- It's not easy.
- It's not just high but also hard.

("Like It" by Yu Jae Seok)

(Hearing you sing
is too overwhelming.)

- Then Ji Sub, you should...
- Yes.

- sing "Like It" before him.
- Which one, "Like It"?

Yes. Would you like to try it?

Sure, why not?

(Jong Min is going to sing
"Like It".)

It feels like
you belong to this studio.

When did you get a studio in Mapo?

Am I allowed to ruin
this masterpiece?

- You should try it seriously.
- No, this song is for everyone.

- Are you okay now?
- Really?

Absolutely fine.

(He suddenly gets up.)

Are you going to dance too?

As a former dancer,
this is how I warm up.

Okay, keep going.

("Like It" by Yoon Jong Shin)

(Are you okay now?
It was brutally tough)

(At our last moment)

It sounds pretty good.

(It was just a mere breakup)

(He's offbeat)

(Laughing)

(It wasn't easy for us)

("I'm Sorry, That Was a Mistake.")

(You did the right thing
You aren't strong enough)

(He's nearing the high notes
at the chorus part.)

(To endure such loneliness)

(Are you happy with your love?)

(When you start falling in love)

He's good.

(I hope you find it hard)

(Just a little bit,
at least a tenth of my pain)

(Just for a while)

(Impressed)

(Before you're happy again)

Hey, it's almost impeccable.

It's impeccable for sure.

- But it's not so brilliant either.
- Right.

Well, time somehow went well.

It wasn't like torture or anything.

- It means you were okay.
- My gosh.

- If it's bad, it's like torture.
- Right.

- You're right. It wasn't like that.
- Yes.

- It wasn't like that.
- It wasn't, Ji Sub.

I was so nervous
since you're here.

Anyway, do us a favor
and sing us "Like It".

I'm begging you.

My gosh. You want "Like It"?

I really want to hear you
sing this song.

It's not a winter song though.

Listen. If I feel it that way,
it could be a winter song.

- Okay?
- Since it was released in summer,

- I feel hot when I sing this song.
- It doesn't matter.

- This is winter, you know.
- Gosh.

And this season reminds me
of this song.

Which singer comes to your mind
when you think about winter?

(My hands are freezing)

Was it called "Icicles"?

- Icicles the singer?
- My hands are

(Icicles the singer?)

- "Icicles the singer"?
- "The singer"?

It's because
he works every other week.

There's a song
that reminds me of winter.

- What is it?
- Is it your song?

- There's a song called "Age".
- "Age"?

Winter is usually
from December to January, right?

- So you get older in winter.
- Right.

This song is
about reflecting on myself...

before I become one year older.

(It's about pondering
on life and age.)

- "Age"?
- "Age".

Let's have a listen.

("Age" by Yoon Jong Shin)

(Knowing what you can
and what you can't)

(Knowing why you went
through that breakup)

(Learning from the past years)

(Realizing this was meant to be)

(Two digits define me)

(Two digits scold me)

(Asking me what I am doing
and what my problem is)

(Saying you need to grow up)

(Just forget about it)

(A careless advice
of a carefree friend)

(My worries harden)

(As they are laid out
in layers and next to each other)

(And together,
they push me down)

(I love myself)

(I deserve to me loved)

(I think now I finally
know a little about myself)

He's such a good singer.

(After being pushed)

(One day when my age stops,)

(Maybe I'll say my last words
as I mix up a lot of things)

(I love you, forgive me)

(It's all my fault)

(Just a little bit more)

(I love you, forgive me)

(From now on)

(It's a sincere
confession to himself.)

But the song is too sad.

What?

There are people out there
who sing happy songs.

It's too sad.

- Why is it sad?
- Sorry.

- Act your age, Jae Seok!
- The song...

You're almost 50 years old!

I don't think the song will do.

This song...

I'm sorry. Right?

- Ji Sub.
- I was surprised.

- Why?
- It made me really sad this winter.

- It's too sad.
- Come on.

Everyone cries.

We can't cry now.

But we should.

We shouldn't.

- We need to do this.
- No, we don't.

No.

Don't decide now, just consider it.

Fine. We'll pick "Like It",

then you can choose
other potential songs.

- "Like It"...
- We must do "Like It".

- Okay.
- We'll get ready.

All you need to do is sing well.

Are you acting like this
because you've got what you want?

- You aren't treating me nicely.
- That's not true.

I'll see you on the day
of the performance.

You'll be surprised
once you get there.

The stage is...

Is BTS coming out?

(Why sudden BTS?)

I want their autographs.

(BTS' autographs are more
important than his own show.)

BTS...

Once they join, we all
just can take a break.

That's not true.

We must sing with them.

What do you mean?

I want to sing "Age" with them.

"Age"?

I'll first ask them for their age
then sing this together.

I know it was a surprise invitation,

so thank you for accepting it.

Thanks for accepting "Like It".

- That'll do.
- We'll get going.

Are you just notifying me
and leaving?

It's not a notice.

- We're asking you for a favor.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Good-bye.

- We'll go.
- Are you going to Nami Island?

- Where?
- You're Bae Yong Joon.

You'll sit there like a statue
at Nami Island, right?

Just be quiet. I'll get going now.

- Okay.
- Thank you!

- Bye.
- Bye.

It's nice to talk to Jong Shin.
