[30-second preview of today]
Se Chan came by once, too.

Through SsookSsook, right.

So when I heard he was coming that time.

Everyone, attention please.

Yang Se Chan

is coming to Vietnam.

Byung Hun, Jung Min, get ready.

Kwang Soo's coming.

He's filming something now.

What's he filming now?

He's filming that tooth thing.

What do you mean that tooth thing?

Since I don't know the movie title.

You keep saying teeth, so to say it's not...

- I have to say it.
- You should've gotten rid of the tooth.

Birthdays are best...

With people you know.

- You should celebrate with people you know.
- Are you looking at me or the camera?

[Do you know what August 14th is?]

[The annual festival]

[of the Talk Kingdom]

[is just an excuse(Pinggyego)
We're just here to have fun talking]

[Pinggyego!]

[This video includes paid promotion from Melon]

But my birthday's still a month...

over a month away!

[The actual birthday party was held in July]
I mean...

[August birthday]

[Had no other choice because of the schedules]

It's more than a month away.

Still have to do it.

What do you mean "still have to"?

Can TV people really

just pull a personal event

forward like this?

[Sympathetic nods]

[Changing topic to a DIY fruit cake]
We actually made this cake, with fruit.

[NO flour / NO butter]
With fruit?

To keep it healthy.

Does this have no sugar?

[Gyeju only deals in facts]

[Joking stops]
Well, thank you.

[Spots something else]
Hey.

Isn't that from Mechanism?

[Correct]
Didn't you use that during Mechanism?

You guys... unbelievable!

I do like this kind of thing though.

[Early celebration, recycled backdrop]
But doing a birthday

[Full of things that don't make sense]
this early?

And in front...

there's a melon, right?

Yeah, what's this?

Today's PPL.

[When it comes to PPL, full understanding]
So Melon... that's why a melon's here.

[Precious]
This is more important than my birthday.

Thank you, Melon.

You know me, right? I'm a paid subscriber, yeah.

[Gift from Melon delivered]
So today, Melon sent this as a gift.

Nice.

To. Jae Seok. Hello, Jae Seok?

I'm Malrang, your personal DJ living in Melon.

What kind of music are you feeling today?

I'll recommend songs that perfectly match
your taste, just the way you like them.

So it analyzes my listening history

and recommends tracks tailored to me?

Ahhh, I'm already doing this.

[Melon knows my taste just by listening!]
On the second tab, DJ Malrang shows up here.

[Play without a second thought]
Tag me on your phone.

Then the song changes, right?

It does!

Sorry, I can't play the audio

because of copyright, hope you understand.

Sorry.

Oh, it's Shim Sin!

[Shim Sin: Solo singer, debuted in 1990]

I've been listening to this kind of music lately.

Oh, ALLDAY PROJECT.

[All Day Project: Co-ed group, debuted in 2025]

[Crossing generations]
The range of genres is seriously...

[Wide musical spectrum]
Yeah, well.

This is the kind of stuff I've been into lately.

It's nice that Melon just picks songs I'll like

without me having to choose.

But can you get these anywhere?

[NFC DJ Malrang keyring is event-only]
This is just for today.

Thanks, Melon!

I'm an MVIP member.

[MVIP pride]

And this PPL is just in time.

Feels good since it's from somewhere
I'm closely connected to.

I'm proud.

[Current attendance rate: 1/4]
We're waiting for Seok Sam and SsaebSsaeb

[Excitement level 100%]
and Kwang Soo, we have a lot to talk about.

Didn't Kwang Soo win an award yesterday?

[The day before filming]
He won Best Supporting Actor yesterday.

[2025 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards
Best Supporting Actor - "Karma" Lee Kwang Soo]

Yeah, for "Karma."

That's a huge award for a comedian

It's not easy to win something
that big for acting.

[Calm]

[Comedian Kwang Soo almost went unnoticed...]
That was so natural

[Main job: Actor]
I didn't even notice.

[Why?]
What?

Kwang Soo's a comedian.

[Jae Seok - Aug 14th / Kwang Soo - Jul 14th]
Kwang Soo's birthday was 5 days ago too.

[So many things to celebrate]
July 14th.

Right.

I didn't say happy birthday to him
on his birthday.

I'll just skip it for my birthday too then.

[Perfect timing]
Hello.

Kwang Soo.

[Se Chan frozen]
[Confetti fluttering weakly]

[Congrats first, thanks first]

[Two keyring birds arriving early]

Winning an award and now you're...!

- Ah, stop it.
- You're already acting like...!

Hahaha!

[Keyring bird Number 1 already looks tired]

Thanks...

How'd you win it?

- What do you mean how?
- Go over there haha.

There's no "how" to it.

They gave it to me, so I accepted it.

[Knows it but still teases]
Yeah, they gave it to you, but still.

How'd you get it?

Oh, it was your birthday.

That passed already, right?

[July birthday]
Yeah, it did.

[Reminder: This party was held in July]
Kwang Soo's is July 14th.

Is that for his birthday? Or is it yours?

[Sharp]
It's my birthday, it's just...

Oh? This is your party?

What?

[As of upload date, it's Gyeju's birthday party]

So the upload...

Oh, yeah?

Then why'd you throw this at me?

[Upset]

Because you won an award...

Oh, the confetti was for the award? Thank you.

[Finally sits and gets a mic]
Kwang Soo, yesterday...

Thanks, bro.

- you were sitting there like an actor, huh?
- Haha!

[Celebration 1. Kwang Soo's Best Supporting Actor]
A comedian winning a big award.

- It's a huge award.
- Thank you.

I thought he rode a motorcycle there.
With the hair slicked all the way back.

[The sound of keyring birds chirping]
What are you even talking about.

[Another day full of laughter]
I was so surprised.

What's with your teeth?

[Shiny teeth of Kwang Soo]
Are you getting orthodontic treatment?

- No.
- Got a gold tooth?

No, it's for filming.

[Tooth gem for a new project]

[Can't hold back laughter]

I saw it downstairs and was so shocked.

It doesn't come off...

In the car earlier, I was like

ugh... what do I do?

[Big dilemma]

I couldn't just not say anything.
What should I do...?

So yesterday, when he won the award

he was obviously so conscious of it
and he was like this.

[Desperately hiding teeth]

He was trying to hide it during the speech.

That's why you did that.

[Finally understood]
That's why you smiled like that.

[Can't explain everything]
I couldn't explain

[So he chose to hide it]
"Because of filming..." like that.

- Right.
- I didn't want people to misunderstand.

I heard you got a hair transplant too.

It's not a hair transplant...!

[Clenching gold tooth to explain]
Kyung Soo dreamed that...

[The acceptance speech that became a hot topic]
on a plane

["This morning, Do Kyung Soo said"]
I was getting a hair transplant.

["he dreamed that I died from an infection
while getting a hair transplant"]

["I cursed a lot and hung up
but it turns out it's a lucky dream"]

He dreamed that I died from an infection.

["Getting a hair transplant"]
Oh, I just heard hair transplant so...

[Gyeju's focus]
Why would I talk about that in a speech?

- Is that considered a good dream?
- Apparently yes.

Dreaming of crying over a friend's death

[Means that friend will have good news]
means something good happens.

[Often interpreted as a lucky dream]
Something good happens?

Yeah, it's a sign of good news.

Well, I saw it!

[Since we're talking, adding drama talk]
I saw that Kwang Soo really did well.

"Karma"?

- It was fun, you did great.
- You even called me...

Yeah.

So for about a month

Jae Seok)
When did you open the oriental clinic?

[Role in drama: Oriental medicine doctor]
I kept calling.

Why didn't you tell me you opened a clinic?

I talked about that for a month.

Ugh, hey.

[Seok Jeon arrives right on cue]
Hello.

Blue Dragon.

- Congratulotions.
- Thank you, brother.

[Blue Dragon means the awards]
Oh, you saw the Blue Dragon.

- Wait, but...
- I was getting emotional when you won it.

Didn't you just say congratulotions?

...Did I?

You said congratulotions.

Did you get a gold tooth?

[Can't help but mention it]
It's for filming.

Wait. You know what's funny?

[Got a gold tooth?]
Does that look like a gold tooth to you?

[Quick conclusions are fascinating...]
Or did you not think it looked weird?

Back in the day, there were older folks
who got gold teeth like that.

What would a celebrity even... hehe.

Get it like that?

It's for filming.

[Whatever, it's just hilarious]
He has to work.

[Explaining for the n-th time]
Because of filming...

It's for a character.

He's just showing off that he's filming something.

[Letting him sit so his legs don't hurt]

Acting like he's all trendy.

[Boom]
Like he's all the rage.

[Clap]
Like winning an award makes him special.

[Keeping the Blue Dragon talk going]
Honestly, when he got it...

Of course, it felt good that Kwang Soo got it.

When someone you know wins, it feels amazing.

- Thank you.
- It felt nice.

I told you before, didn't I?
I probably called you.

[Reaction right after watching the drama]
I told you that you were impressive in "Karma."

Everyone said that about "Karma."

[Along with an image change]
"Karma" was seriously...

[A work that proved his acting skills]
A lot of people.

Because it's not easy
to break away from your image.

- Right.
- But Kwang Soo just, wow.

He was such an annoying guy.

[The better you do, the more you're hated]
The character?

But in "Karma," the one

[In the drama]
dating Kwang Soo's character is Seung Yeon.

[Character Yu Jeong played by Gong Seung Yeon]
Right, Gong Seung Yeon.

[Trying hard to place the face...]
Do you know who that is?

I know.

That's her, right?

[Actress Gong Seung Yeon, TWICE's Jeongyeon]
Right, the sister.

[Real sisters]
Gong Jeongyeon's older sister.

[Homecation is just an excuse / from EP.82]
Right, you asked me if I knew her sister.

[Seok Jin said he didn't know Jeongyeon's sister]
Jeongyeon's sister.

She even came on "Running Man" once.

What?

[Standard repertoire
Gyewon: They were on "Running Man"]

[Seok Jin: What? / Doesn't remember]
Hey, if you go that far...

This reaction again, haha.

[Not giving up hope]
I have so many people I don't remember.

Still...

It's fine, I'm sure she's been on sometime.

Right.

Kwang Soo's birthday was July 14th.

- That's right.
- Wasn't it July 4th?

It's July 14th...

If I tell you it's the 14th

and you didn't know, just say okay!

[Frustration of a July birthday]
Why would you ask "Isn't it the 4th"?

[Isn't that US Independence Day?]
I thought yours was July 4th...

[Wrong number entered last year]
I thought it was 4th.

I knew it was the 14th
but I couldn't text Kwang Soo.

Let's stop doing that now.

How long are we gonna keep it up?

If we celebrate for everyone we know
we'll be sending messages every day.

But still...

His birthday just passed, and he's right here.

Instead of congratulating, what's this?

[Recent birthday boy keeps getting heartbroken]
Why are you getting all annoyed?

I mean, this is

[Reminder for Seok Sam]
going to be uploaded on August 14th.

[Concept for an 8/14 upload]
But Kwang Soo's birthday

wasn't that long ago.

- I thought it was for me.
- When he came in, they popped the confetti.

[Recipient: disappointed / Listener: entertained]
It felt a bit too much.

Like, "They're welcoming so much."

But it wasn't for you.

I was really touched for a moment.

But we have a lot to celebrate today.

Kwang Soo won an award.

[Today's celebration 2]
And Kwang Soo's movie.

[Kwang Soo's "Love Barista" releasing in October]
It's coming out in October.

- The Vietnam one?
- Yeah, Vietnam.

Finally, the X-ray results is coming out.

[Today's default expression, hehe]

[Three-cut summary from about a year ago]
We talked about this here, remember?

[Planned departure to Vietnam for filming]
We talked about it here.

[X-ray? / The movie...]
That one?

[Who goes to Vietnam just to shoot an X-ray?]
Yeah.

[Finally nearing release]
Right.

So are you gonna show the teeth like this in it?

No, no haha.

- With a gold tooth?
- This... this isn't it.

- No, it has nothing to do with this.
- You're taking it off?

Then what's this tooth for?

[Shoo]

This is for a thug, right?

Well, yeah...

Then for the upcoming Chuseok...

Ugh, I'm getting dizzy.

Huh?

- With this tooth, haha.
- Going, haha.

- What?
- Haha.

- What!
- This Chuseok.

[Chose violence]
What!

With family this Chuseok, haha...

What about family?

You gotta meet them like this?

Of course.

Yeah, no choice.

Hey, can I eat this?

The setup is so perfect.

- Go ahead.
- Right.

Isn't this melon?

- It is melon.
- This one's like mango.

- It's melon.
- Haha.

- Mmm.
- Get rid of the toothpick.

Hey, it's mango.

I've never seen anyone eat something like this.

Why, haha.

Usually

you just leave it looking nice
from start to finish.

Are you just gonna eat this part?

Why aren't you eating it?

Then are you throwing it away?

- No, not throwing it away.
- Eat it after or something.

Why wait until after?

If you eat just the back, no one will know.

[Not understanding each other]
How would they know? There's no camera here.

Go ahead.

The staff made this.

[Startled]
You carved it?

Who?

[All eyes on the sculptor]
That's dedication.

She's getting married in September.

[Family who even knows about the wedding]
Yeah, wedding's in September.

So skilled.

Mmm!

[Everyone tasting the skilled hands' cake]
It's good.

It's great.

Mmm!

[Right on cue, Writer Woo Sung adds talking fuel]

Writer Woo Sung.

- Thanks.
- Would you like the misutgaru?

Yeah.

[Sudden admiration for the writer from Seok Jin]
Wow, seriously.

Why?

You were the best at teasing Haha.

[Source: SsookSsook]
[Writer Woo Sung) Wow, goosebumps...]

[Haha) It's so dry though]
Haha the Great.

[Writer Woo Sung) A magician with words...!]

[Haha / He keeps saying useless stuff]
Seriously, all of you.

You should go on there once too.

Kwang Soo's a great man now.

[Has the full qualifications]
He is.

- Now that he's got the Blue Dragon.
- You're a great man.

Kwang Soo's a great man.

[Kwang Soo the Great is focusing on watermelon]

- That segment's pretty good.
- Please come on it sometime.

SsaebSsaeb's got a show in August too.

[Ongoing celebration 3: Yang Se Bro Show sold out]
Right.

- Tickets are almost sold out.
- Yeah.

- They're all gone.
- Exactly.

Wow, that's great.

- In times like these, that's a big deal.
- Yeah, in times like these.

What, about 30 seats?

30?

[At a loss for words over a pointless joke]
Said it's sold out.

Bro.

- It's more than 100 seats, right?
- Of course.

I know it's 800 seats. I remember.

I'm just saying it.

Why would you say that?

[All four want to speak]
I'm worried.

What are you mad at suddenly?

I'm not mad.

Why make such an unpleasant joke?

[Suddenly aiming for extraordinary talk]
I just don't feel like talking normally.

I don't know. I just want to joke around.

Who jokes like that?

[Zero out of four on the same page]
I'm worried.

[Changing the subject]
How many complimentary tickets do you have?

I offered complimentary tickets to friends
but everyone said they'd just buy them.

- Jae Seok bought them all.
- Yeah, all of them.

Kwang Soo, are you going?

[Kwang Soo also plans to attend]
Yes.

- You're coming?
- Yeah.

- Sounds like you just decided.
- With Yeong Seok, and then...

[Endlessly teasing Kwang Soo]
Do Kyung Soo.

[Burning glare]
What are you on, I'm sitting next to you.

Why would PD Na Yeong Seok
come see our show, haha.

Yeong Seok? You're going with Yeong Seok?

[Calmly spreading fake news]
Aren't you coming with "Green Bean, Rd Bean" crew?

- I'm next to you.
- No?

Then Park Hae Soo.

[Mixing up the group]
And then...

- I said I'm next to you, just like this.
- Park Hae Soo, Gong Seung Yeon.

[Finalizing the seating plan]
Just like this right now.

That's how you're going?

- Oh, you're coming with us?
- Yeah.

Ah... we might not have tickets for him.

- Do we have one?
- I'll get one myself.

Why does he keep talking like this!

HA.HA.HA.HA.HA!

- But, hey.
- Not even looking at me.

HA.HA.HA.HA.HA!

[Our bro who gets weird at Pinggyego]

- You're not looking at Kwang Soo's eyes.
- What's wrong with you?

I've been making eye contact.

No, I mean...

Wait, did you get your mole removed?

Where was the mole?

That mole from last time?

That dung fly-looking thing, haha?

[Third pupil we stared at the whole talk]

Where? The one inside here?

Yeah, I got it removed!

He really did!

[Today's new celebration 4]
Kwang Soo!

[Seok Jin's mole right under the eye removed]
I took it out because you mentioned it.

That dung fly here!

How'd you even notice that?

Feels much better now, right?

Haha, yeah?

Were you staring at it the whole time?

You've got a sharp eye.

Not many people noticed that dung fly is gone.

I didn't know.

[Keyring brothers' bond restored]
Kwang Soo, your eye for detail...

It's not a mole, it's a dung fly?

[Question raised after a long time: dung fly]
Chased it off.

Chased off the dung fly.

Oh, you sprayed bug killer?

[Bond cracks again in 8 seconds]
Bug killer, you punk.

You really have a sharp eye.

[A thoughtful and caring younger brother]
But seriously, Kwang Soo, wow.

That's kind of touching.

I think I got it removed right after that.

It was pretty big, wasn't it?

It was this big!

[Kwang Soo felt that it was gigantic]
Just how I felt.

Because it felt like an extra eye
was staring right at me.

- Does that make sense?
- With the pupil, it can look that big.

Ah, I love my birthday.

[My way]
I couldn't tell if it was an eyeball or a mole...

- Birthdays are...
- Roasting each other, haha.

- Right now, I...
- Best with close friends.

- Not sure if you're looking at me or the camera.
- You should celebrate with people you know.

It's so nice having my favorite people here.

[Celebration is just an excuse, busy roasting]
We don't bother with happy stories.

I love it.

- Is that misutgaru too?
- Yeah, it's good.

Can I swap mine for an Americano?

Then I'll take it. I'll have another.

[Misutgaru transferred]
This is really good.

- Why? Why switch to Americano?
- Too sweet.

He's really health-conscious.

- Doesn't eat much sugar.
- Him?

But he eats mango and all that.

I don't drink anything sweet.

You don't drink milk either.

What? I drink milk.

[Keyring bird once avoided milk]
I didn't for a while.

- Do you drink it again now?
- I got caught up in some theory.

It's killing me, lattes taste so good.

I drink three cups a day now. Milk is...

I saw some research paper.

Not a paper. Was it a documentary?

Not a documentary, a YouTube video.

[Cheek twitch]

A documentary on YouTube.

That's YouTube.

So it's a documentary!

So it's YouTube.

YouDube. What are you talking about?

[Unexpected loss]
He talks weird.

Do something about him.

[Complaining to the younger keyring bird]
You're closest to him, smack him.

Haven't seen this since elementary school.

No, here's the thing.

- Where you saw it?
- YouTube is just a platform.

You were on YouTube
and a documentary popped up, so you watched it.

You didn't open YouTube to look for a documentary.

You just say you watched a documentary.

You wouldn't say "I watched TVING," would you?

Wow...

It's like "You're not the only one with a mom.
I have a mom too."

So Kwang Soo's movie comes out in October.

- What's it about?
- Yes, right.

Now you're talking like it's work.

[Gyeju switches to social mode for Kwang Soo]
Yeah, for Kwang Soo.

We've gotta let him talk about it.

But if it's October

this airs in August, haha.

Two months early, haha.

[Pretty early for promotion...]
I understand, I get it.

The viewers will understand!

Of course.

- Of course.
- Does early promo help?

- You have to start early.
- Yeah, you do.

These days, you start two months out.

[Everyone coaxing and hyping up Kwang Soo]
SsaebSsaeb started two months ahead too.

- Ah...
- Just building it up.

- Exactly.
- Keep building up.

Yeah.

- He'll do it again when the time comes.
- Right.

[Wrap-up done, back to movie explanation]

Asia's... star...

Who? In it?

- Huh?
- I mean, who is it?

Who plays the Asia's star? There must be someone.

- You should mention that person.
- Well... uh... I...

Asia's star...

[Asia Prince]
So you're the Asia Prince?

- Really?
- So you're the AP.

Oh...

In Vietnam, I'm left with no money
no phone, no cards, nothing

completely on my own, haha...

Ahhh! I give up.

[Overwhelmed, gives up on explaining]
No, no, don't.

That plot sounds a lot like Seok Jin's thing.

- What, what is it?
- It's exactly mine.

- Your music video thing?
- Yeah.

You copied mine, didn't you?

[Flustered, attacks right away]
Right?

In Hong Kong!

What was it?

There's a music video
I really don't want to reveal to the world...

It's really funny.

Seok Jin released an album in Hong Kong.

That's going to be funny for days.

[With Hong Kong singer Hu Lin]
I did a duet with a female Hong Kong singer.

[After release, appeared in the MV together]
She's very famous.

The story is, I'm an Asian star, like you.

[Highlighting the similarity]
You play an Asian star too, right?

- Uh... yeah.
- And where do you go?

- Vietnam, right?
- Uh... yeah.

But hey...

That's pretty similar, haha.

[No]
I go to Hong Kong.

- It is similar, but...
- It's identical!

Please don't connect them. It's similar though.

[Listen to this]
It's identical.

Were you pickpocketed or what?

- What happened?
- I just left it all!

- Left it!
- Got left alone.

Ah... I was burned out!

[Scene 1: One day...]
Too many schedules.

[An Asian star angry at the constant schedule]
I got angry at my agency.

No way.

You've never actually
had a schedule like that, so why...?

[Unable to immerse in the unrealistic setup]
It's just the MV's setup.

There's no way you'd burn out from that schedule.

[Already one with the Ji Star's role]
I was so annoyed, as an Asian star.

[Scene 2: So, Ji Star leaves for Hong Kong]
So I go there.

[And fall in love there...]
I see a woman and fall in love.

The funny thing is, I walk into a café alone.

Then I fall for her at first sight.

I think, "I should talk to her!"

I lower my head, and...

- Hey!
- Yeah?

If you could stop there...

Because it's creepily similar in some parts...

Hahaha, similar, huh?

- Of course, I'm not saying...
- Really?

I'm not saying...

[No misunderstanding]
It's nothing like that.

[Overseas, Asian star, romance]
There are definitely similar elements. Overseas.

[Keywords do overlap]
Celebrity.

Anyway, I don't meet her and we part ways.

Then in the morning, I'm out jogging.

Come on, that's a lie.

- You never jog.
- It's all fake.

[Unwavering]
While jogging, I get tired

and stop to catch my breath. I look to the side.

A taxi pulls up and she's inside.

- Oh...
- Ah...

I see her by chance. So I run after her.

[Again unable to immerse]
No way.

Then we start kind of dating.

But the really funny part is...

How did you shoot yours?
Because my schedule at the time was...

[The story's a bit long]
Mind if I tell it real quick?

Ugh, it's too long.

- It's a bit long, are you okay with that?
- What is this?

[Collective protest as the story drags on]
What are you doing right now?

The music video's under 3 minutes
but you've been talking for several minutes.

I haven't even started talking about my movie yet.

You started, but

[Embarrassed]
my story just got too long, haha.

This guy was acting all shy
and now look how excited he is.

- Then let's save this for next time.
- Yeah.

We need to talk about yours.

[Back to talking about Kwang Soo's movie]
So what's the movie called?

It's called "Love Barista."

["Love Barista" releases in Vietnam, October 3rd]
Do you play a barista?

[Domestic release planned for later this year]
No, I'm not the barista.

[With no manager, pass port, or money]
So she's the barista.

[Left alone in Vietnam]
The woman is the barista.

[Asia Prince "Kang Jun Woo" / Lee Kwang Soo]
A barista, making coffee.

[In a foreign land]
Yes.

[Survival romantic comedy]
And then a love story unfolds.

Yes.

So you filmed in both Korea and Vietnam.

Sounds similar.

We'll have to go see it.

You'll have a premiere, right?

[Still quite a while to go]
Not sure yet, it's October so...

[Can't miss the Asia Prince's love story]
But since Kwang Soo is the lead

- we have to go.
- Of course.

[Already happy thanks to his enthusiastic bros]
We have to go.

We've gotta support you.

- I'd be so thankful if you came.
- Of course.

Actually, he's built
a pretty good position in the film world.

[Brothers proud of Kwang Soo]
So proud.

[Knows everything]
He's filming something else right now.

He's really busy.

What is he filming now?

He's filming that tooth thing.

What do you mean that tooth thing?

Since I don't know the title, haha.

- What do you mean that tooth thing?
- Gold tooth.

Gold tooth!

- What kind of introduction...
- Now

[Speechless]
we can't reveal the project, but gold tooth, haha.

[He's never said he can't reveal the project]
Who said we can't reveal the project?

Lee Kwang Soo's gold tooth.

[Title reveal: "Gold Land"]
It's "Gold Land."

Oh, so like a gold mine. The schemes!

So it's kind of symbolic.

Yes, gold.

[Pinggyego!]

Hey, you should get a girlfriend already.

You're wasting your time.

- Don't just say it, introduce someone.
- Such a waste.

But SsaebSsaeb meets a lot of stars!

No, I don't!

- Is it out in the open now?
- That's a misunderstanding!

- Everyone knows he dated an idol.
- No, no.

[Haha exposes...]
Haha said something ridiculous.

["Yang Se Chan has dated an idol"]
Like I...

But people talk like you really dated idols.

Because it's true.

[Met Cho A on "Jeeseokjin World"]
Cho A was on my channel a while back.

I asked her, and she said

"I know who that is."

Cho A and Kwon Eun Bi as well!

[Dummy is the Best / EP.8]
She also said it's her friend.

- Because I...
- It's driving me crazy.

I asked Cho A what she thought of Se Chan.

Cho A) "Ugh, that guy!"

Cho A) "Ugh, he dates a lot of idols."

[Frustrated]
Really?

I've become an idol killer.

Yang Se Chan the I.K?

[Team kill with the acronym]
Don't shorten it like that.

So I said no, not me.

Wow, this really doesn't suit you, Yang Se Chan.

[Full gums showing]
Idol killer?

Does that even make sense?

[Spotted the gums]
Why do you look so smug right now?

You're not even denying it strongly.

I'm not a killer, haha.

["Dated before" is the fact]
You're not a killer?

- That's a silly rumor, right?
- Totally.

How's she doing?

She's probably fine...

You don't look her up?
Like go on Instagram and look?

Do you?

[Flustered]
No, what...

- Do I have someone to check on?
- I don't look, haha.

[Shouldn't have asked]

[New teasing target spotted]
Why are you holding your hands so politely?

Why so nervous?

His head was like

no!

[Instinctive danger detection]

- Way too unnatural.
- Does that make sense?

It's way too unnatural!

It doesn't make sense, "Do you?"

You asked if I look.

How can you be that awkward?

It's too funny, haha.

Do I have anything to check?

It wasn't even that funny.

With Kwang Soo, though
I played a big role as his dating coach.

All his coaching failed, right?

Worst of my life...

No, seriously, I...

Kwang Soo's relationship!
He's doing well with Sun Bin now but

[Shameless / I made it happen]
it's not an exaggeration to say I made it happen.

Oh, up to that point?

Yeah, I set it all up to there.

Anyway, he's now in a great relationship.

[In a great relationship with actress Lee Sun Bin]
Our Kwang Soo.

- There's a process to these things.
- Exactly.

And Sun Bin's movie did well too!

[Sun Bin starring role]
It did great this time.

[Film "Noise" surpasses 1.7M viewers]
Yeah, the movie really did well.

- I played a part in that.
- "Noise."

[Sun Bin was on "Jeeseokjin World" to promote]
I really did play a part.

Yes, thank you.

I worked hard back then.

Come on, don't be so tacky.
Saying you "played a part"...

[Unfazed]
Hey, I worked hard!

That's true!

[Squabbling with Kwang Soo in the middle]
Promoting naturally.

Like giving quizzes, right?

I am grateful but who just says that outright...

[That's me]

Anyway, the movie did well!

The energy's great right now!

Your channel really promoted it the most...

[Shyly showing gratitude]
Yeah.

Alright, I'll take that and stay proud!

[Lee Kwang Soo's movie "Love Barista" too]
Anyway, I hope Kwang Soo's upcoming movie

[does well with all this good energy...]
really succeeds.

It will!

[Tomato nom]
You'll promote like crazy, right?

You should go on "Jeeseokjin World" too.

Of course, you have to come then!

[There's a story here]
No, it's just that...

[Knows the ending]
He called me to come on "Jeeseokjin World."

"When are you free? Can you come on?"

Kwang Soo)
Sure, give me a date!

Seok Jin)
"When are you available?" So I told him.

[He sent the available dates]
But after I sent the dates

he never got back to me
even after the dates passed.

Kwang Soo)
Bro, am I not going on "Jeeseokjin World"?

Seok Jin) "Hey, Kwang Soo!"

Seok Jin)
"It's not a show you can casually drop by."

[Sudden memory loss]

But you told me to come on...

What's wrong with you?

[Speechless]

Seok Jin)
"It's really full right now!"

- Hehehe.
- So you should wait?

[Invite first, then turn down]
But hey

[Strange Seok Sam-style casting]
you invited him first.

And now you're inviting me again
so what am I supposed to do?

That's hilarious.

- The fact that it's true is hilarious.
- You're two-faced. Which is the real you?

[How it started]
I thought it'd be good to have Kwang Soo on.

[While working out the concept]
I was figuring out the structure

and it got delayed it a bit.

- Because there was too much planned already.
- Yeah, there's a schedule.

When I asked the staff
this one had to go out by this time

and that one had a commitment.

[Upload schedule packed in the meantime]
There were contracts and everything.

Then he called

asking when he'd be on

so I said that.

This show isn't one

you can just drop by because you want to.

Because, for us too
everything's scheduled in advance.

[Production schedule set in advance]
It's all scheduled

and I didn't know. I mixed it up.

Then you should've told him.

[Frustrated]
Then just say that you got confused.

[Extra salty at the audacity]
Instead, you tell me

I can't just go on because I want to.

Still, I'm thankful you said you'd come anytime.

- But right now, the schedule's full.
- Yeah, it's hard right now.

So basically, Kwang Soo got rejected?

[Zero confession, one rejection]
Oh, come on.

You got rejected.

No!

[Waiting for the perfect synergy moment]
I'm just waiting for the perfect time.

- To give him a push?
- Yeah.

When we can give it a big push
we'll bring Kwang Soo on.

[Speaking of YouTube]
I don't know if I should bring this up

but sometimes our combo
gets used over there repeatedly.

Who? Me?

You've been watching everything, huh!

[Same combo, different channel]
What are you talking about, where?

[SsookSsook channel / Jeeseokjin World]
SsaebSsaeb, Ye Eun, and Ji Hyo.

[SsookSsook pajama party members]
You just took them like that.

[Filmed Jeeseokjin World with the same members]
Because...

What happened was...

[From a SsookSsook meeting]
Ji Hyo called me.

[Ji Hyo called to invite him to her pajama party]
She's doing pajama thing, asking me to come.

Seok Jin)
Why wouldn't I be able to?

But one of Seok Jin's conditions for appearing was

Seok Jin)
"I'll do the pajama party."

Seok Jin)
"But you have to come on my YouTube too!"

[Agreed to a guest appearance swap]
There was a clause like that.

So now, with that 4-person combo
we've got like 8 videos out there.

[Algorithm domination]
It's everywhere.

I thought the four of you were a group.

So later... we were the last to get them, right?

Our views are noticeably lower!

[Interest drops after same combo repeats]
People are saying, "Enough, we're tired of it."

Honestly, SsookSsook was first.

[Since they first planned that combo]
He was first, so I...

Oh, so you cut in line?

[Even the former icon of betrayal is shocked]
That's petty, so petty.

- That's not it!
- This guy, seriously.

[There's a reason]
Listen to me.

That's cheating!

We filmed ours first
and we had a set release date.

[He was scheduled for much later]
His thing was supposed to release much later

and that's what we'd agreed on.

But then suddenly, I got a call from Seok Jin.

Seok Jin) Hey, Se Chan, where are you?
Se Chan) I'm heading home.

Seok Jin)
So, about what we filmed...

Se Chan) Yeah!
Seok Jin) Hmm... Hey... could I...

Seok Jin)
put it out this week?

[Stunned]
This week?

Seok Jin)
I've got something scheduled this week

but it fell through.

[The pajama party 4-person combo]
So he needed to

[Pulled in to fill the gap]
use this to fill the slot.

We were supposed to release ours
about two weeks later.

So I said okay and told our production team.

They were fine with it.

I did feel a bit bad.

But since they were first

[Called to ask for understanding]
I figured I'd ask for their understanding.

Well, at least you asked.

And then he agreed.

[Understood and gave permission]
Special circumstances.

Between us, you know.

Yeah, right.

It's family!

But Ji Hyo...

[SsookSsook made him curious]
I asked her.

[Ji Hyo showcased a new product / nom]
You were wearing a new release, right?

[SsookSsook Pajama Party / EP.1]
That's right.

So if you're wearing a new release

when viewers think that's nice and click on it

that product should be there.

- But it's not, right?
- No.

The one Ye Eun wore isn't there.

[Pajamas not yet released]
It won't be out for a while, right?

Even my wife, while watching "SsookSsook," said

"Can we buy that?"

But it's not on the site.

[Pajamas you can't buy even if you want to]
I asked Ji Hyo, she said it'll be a little while.

Because of the factory and all that.

Isn't this just like my movie promotion?

- Mine's coming out in October too...
- If you see this now

[Ji Hyo's pajamas and Kwang Soo's movie]
and think "I should go see Kwang Soo's!"

[Promoted but can't watch]
You have to wait two months.

It's still far off.

Just a little! Please wait.

[Endless Kwang Soo and Ji Hyo stories]
Kwang Soo has a ton of stories with Ji Hyo.

Oh man, with Ji Hyo, we could stay up all night.

Sometimes she'll get mad out of nowhere.

Ji Hyo)
Hey, I saw Kwang Soo yesterday.

"Why didn't he say hi to me?"

[Ridiculous]

- You would've said hi.
- So I said

no way.

If Kwang Soo saw you
there's no way he wouldn't say hi.

Ji Hyo)
No.

- Hehe.
- Ji Hyo) I definitely saw him

and he looked at me and didn't say hi.

Ji Hyo)
What do I do about this?

[Gyeju sets out to fact-check]
Hold on, let me call Kwang Soo.

- Kwang Soo.
- Kwang Soo) Yes, bro.

Did you see Ji Hyo yesterday there?

Kwang Soo) Ji Hyo was there?

Yeah, she said she saw you there.

[Fact-check result: Kwang Soo didn't see her]
I didn't see her.

Ji Hyo, I called Kwang Soo
and he said he didn't see you.

Ji Hyo)
Really? For real?

Then right after, she's like

Ji Hyo)
yeah, my little brother.

[Ji Hyo's feelings, impossible to read]
So I don't...

I can't figure out what kind of person she is.

I've known her for over 10 years.

- I don't know her either.
- That's just her.

One day she'll suddenly say

Ji Hyo)
you shouldn't act like that.

[Unpredictable Ashura Ji Hyo]
And then suddenly "My brother."

She's always ready to be mad at Kwang Soo.

[Another ridiculous story with Kwang Soo]
One of the most absurd things with Kwang Soo...

Was around 11:30 p.m.?

No, I think it was past 1 a.m.

[Drunken video call from Kwang Soo]
I got a video call.

He'd had a drink.

Kwang Soo)
I miss you. Come out right now.

Where are you?

[Missing his brother a lot]
I'm in Hannam-dong. I miss you.

I really didn't feel like going out.

There are those days.

[Was just going to let it slide but]
So I said, "Alright, I'll think about it."

Then he called again!

Kwang Soo)
When are you coming?

[Younger brother's push finally gets him moving]
I got dressed.

- I have to know where I'm going.
- Right.

I called

but he stopped answering.

I got fully dressed, ready to leave, and...

[Demanding an explanation]
What happened? Did you change your mind?

I didn't think he'd actually come.

I just wanted to say I missed him.

But he was so eager to come, haha.

He was more enthusiastic than I expected.

[Unfair]
If it'd been just once, I wouldn't have gone

but you called twice.

So you didn't answer on purpose?

Not on purpose.

[Drunken mishap]
Must have been drunk.

It was hilarious.

It happens.

[Meaning of the call]
It was just to say

I was thinking of you, to express love.

[Showing up when the night's winding down...]
But when you say you'll come when it's wrapping up

[Wrong timing can be awkward]
then...

I didn't mean it that seriously.

Kwang Soo, didn't you quit drinking?

It's been about 4 years since I drank.

- He quit.
- Really?

- No wonder your face...
- Your skin looks good.

Your skin's improved.

[Better complexion after quitting alcohol]
Yeah, you've lost that "alcohol tone."

No more alcohol tone.

Your teeth are really shiny too.

- That's from quitting hehe.
- No, it's unrelated.

Why'd you quit drinking?

- For my health.
- Taking care of it?

Yeah.

I think it's better not drinking.

Really?

Then you won't get calls to go drinking now.

I don't get any calls anymore.

[If you quit drinking, invites naturally drop]

- If you don't go to drinking gatherings...
- That's it.

"He won't come." Like this.

Your relationships get trimmed down a lot.

Yeah, they do.

[Actor Zo In Sung]
So you drifted from In Sung too?

No, not In Sung.

- That has nothing to do with drinking.
- No?

[15-year friendship won't break over alcohol]

What's that got to do with alcohol?

Drinking's got nothing to do with In Sung?

Of course not.

[Still suspicious]
You hang out whether you drink or not?

- I still go to gatherings.
- Butl...

As a butler?

[Another playful bro]
As In Sung's butler.

What butler? We just hang out together.

Right, just hang out.

If you're not drinking, what do you do there?
Just stay there?

Just hang out and talk...

Do you dance?

Why would I dance?

[Flipping Kwang Soo inside out today]
How many shows does he have to do?

Why would I perform at a drinking party?

[Younger brother turns it up a notch]
So you do shows there.

[Drinking party act 1: Mask dance]
Go and dance like this.

[Drinking party act 2: Gold tooth show]
Show off your teeth like this.

[Absurd]
Why would I dance at a drinking party?

- So you're the only one drinking.
- Yeah.

[The only drinker among the four: Se Chan]
But even I

drink a lot less now.

These days, maybe once every two weeks?

If you drink a lot
it definitely changes your appearance.

[Complexion, redness, etc.]
Alcohol builds up.

[Changes visible in the face]
You can tell on someone's face

- if they've been drinking for years.
- They say you can see the alcohol on your face.

It's true.

You really have to stay away
from alcohol and cigarettes.

Jung Min said he quit drinking too.

[After quitting, Jung Min shed his "alcohol tone"]
His face looks much better now.

And I think you can tell a difference
between people who work out and people who don't.

From what I felt.

Your triceps and biceps, wow.

Not bad.

[Attack on Kwang Soo's biceps and triceps]

What is this?

Like buying meat at a butcher shop.

I thought you were stamping.

You too, wow.

You were born with it.

[Listen]
No, but hey.

I saw this guy recently

ugh...

Yesterday, he uploaded again.

Waterbomb, right? I saw it.

[Revealed on YouTube "Jeeseokjin World"]
He went to Waterbomb with Ye Eun.

[Behind the scenes of Waterbomb with Mr. Ji]
With Ye Eun backstage

he could've just lifted his arm normall

but I'd never seen a pose like that.

[Armpit open show]
Armpit...

[Mutual embarrassment / head down]
Armpit...

[Overreaching in the urge to show off]
He was trying to show his bicep.

Like this.

I was so embarrassed
that I seriously didn't want to upload it.

What's wrong with you lately?

Trying to show off your body more?

- I'm not showing off.
- Do you work out these days?

Of course, I work out a lot.

Feel it.

[Reluctant]
Well, it's firm...

[It's firm, but...]
It's only firm here.

Everywhere else is soft.

[Can't stop touching the softness]
Only here.

Stop it!

What?

He's got something cute and bouncy here.

[Pouting]
Don't!

How are just your arms firm?

[Limits of "fashion muscles"]

It's like you put the wrong Lego piece
in just the arms.

I only do arm workouts.

His nickname's Dancing Bear.

- Dancing Bear?
- Yeah, from when he was in the Navy PR unit.

His nickname was Dancing Bear!

- Really?
- Yeah, for real.

- Were you good at dancing?
- I hated it.

It wasn't about dancing well.

[Nickname thanks to a senior]
His senior...

When I was tidying up, try calling me.

[Organizing the locker]
While I'm organizing like this.

[Playing the senior]
Okay, I'm the senior.

[Senior]
Hey, Dancing Bear.

Yes, Private First Class Dancing Bear.

[Jump and grooving]

[Funny but sad]
Do that, then go back to tidying.

[Senior]
Dancing Bear?

Yes, Private First Class Dancing Bear.

[Doing it again like it's the first time]
What is this...

What is this, haha.

If he called 20 times, I had to do it 20 times.

That senior used to do that.

[It was like that in those days - old-school army]
That's how he got the nickname Dancing Bear.

In the 80s, that kind of thing was prevalent.

That's right.

Back then, honestly, we got hit.

Back then well...

How long did you serve? Was it 4 years?

[Ridiculous]
I didn't do 4 years...

12 years.

How long was it?

Wasn't it about that long in the 80s?

[2 years, 9 months]
33 and a half months!

[1980s service length: 30 to 35 months]
You served 33 months?

[Current service length: 18 to 21 months]
Thinking back, that's really long.

[Pinggyego!]

[Kwang Soo debuted in commercials]
Kwang Soo debuted through a commercial.

That's right.

Do you remember your first paycheck?

I know what Jae Seok's first paycheck was.

- How much?
- 5 million!

The commercial.

- Wasn't it 5 million?
- What year?

- Lager, lager.
- As the main model?

[His first CF as a rookie was a beer ad]
When he was totally unknown, he shot a lager ad.

Oh, how do you know that?

Of course I know you got 5 million.
I think you told me yourself.

Did I say that?

Your memory's amazing.

[Seok Jin's sharp memory for numbers]
I'm good with numbers.

Jae Seok) Why are you so good with numbers?
Seok Jin) I just remember them.

So among our peers and comedians

[Murmuring]
"Hey, Jae Seok shot a lager ad...!"

I thought that ad would make me a star.

[Reality was...]
Nope.

- Me too.
- No reaction at all?

- He can't even drink a drop of beer.
- Exactly.

[An alcohol-free guy flew to Australia for the ad]
We went to Australia for the shoot.

Since I can't drink beer
there are scenes where you have to drink, right?

I told the director right away
"Director, I can't drink alcohol."

He said it was fine.

But after two glasses

my face turned bright red.

[The Australian bartender who noticed]
There was an Australian bartender watching

and I guess he felt bad for me.

He handed me something.

[It was non-alcoholic beer]
It was a non-alcoholic beer.

- They had that back then too?
- Yeah, so I drank that.

I drank that.

If not, my face would've been beet red.

- You could've passed out.
- Seriously.

Wow, 5 million back then.

How big was that back then?

[5 million was good money!]
That was huge.

Back then, appearance fees
were maybe 150,000 to 200,000 won.

110,000 won!

[The youngest realizing the generation gap]
Appearance fee was like 110,000 won.

My first appearance fee was
about 200,000 something.

Oh, really?

[From commercials]
I got around 3 million.

- Since you were a rookie?
- Yeah, that was basically my debut.

Kwang Soo, what did you do
with your 3 million won?

At the time...

I had a bad contract...

- With the agency?
- Yeah...

So?

Back then, most of it...

- You gave it to the company?
- Yeah...

It was like a 50-50 split.

I made nothing.

So it was like 80-20, but your share was 20.

Yeah, and then...

You were a rookie.

[Didn't know since it was his first time]
I didn't know any better.

[Signed an unfair contract without knowing]
The contract was bad.

- They deducted everything.
- Yeah, I had no profit at all.

[Too bad]
That's ridiculous.

He's such a softie.

You didn't know anything about contracts.

Right, I didn't.

I had no idea.

You just signed it because they told you to.

I wanted to look good
afraid I'd look bad if I hesitated.

[Unfortunately]
That happens a lot.

Yeah.

[Especially with little access to info]
It's not like now with YouTube and such.

[There was no way to know]
You had nowhere to get information.

You'd only know if you talked to a lawyer.

Right. You wouldn't have known.

If YouTube had existed then

I could've at least looked up
some basic info on contracts.

Like how to sign a contract.

So they'd say

"You got 3 million from this ad

but remember that time you ate that

and those other costs? Now there's nothing left."

[After vague explanations, payout was 0 won]
Nothing left.

- It just happens like that.
- If you take home 200,000, that's a lot.

But maybe the company was right.

Maybe you really had nothing left.

- What's with you!
- How could that be possible?

Why is he making me feel bad all day?

- Think about it.
- What are you doing?

I'm sharing

a painful memory here!

[Upset]
Instead of empathizing...

What do you mean he had nothing to take home?

[Holding his ground]
You must've eaten, right?

You had to travel, right?

- But would he have eaten 3 million won's worth?
- No, I didn't.

From the company's view
if you deduct everything...

- Wow, you sound like a producer.
- That wasn't the case.

[It really was an unfair settlement]

- So you did have money to take home?
- Of course.

And then until High Kick...

Oh, so you were under that contract until then.

When High Kick ended
I moved to my current company.

Oh.

So you didn't make much through High Kick either?

Right, barely anything.

How much did you get for High Kick?

Can you share your appearance fee per episode?

I don't really remember...

- He might not know.
- Yeah, he might not know.

If the company handled it all.

All he'd know is what hit his account.

When companies do settlements
the expenses are handled afterward.

Afterward as in after you die...?

So after Kwang Soo dies, right?

- What's wrong with you guys?
- Are you sending him off?

Here, "after" doesn't mean after death

[Not "after death"]
it's after the event.

[But "after the event"]

Did the company at least give you housing?

No.

- Pay your rent?
- At least a car, right?

Did you get an allowance?

Nope.

Nothing at all?

Then how did you get to the station?

Back then...

"Mom, can I get 10,000 won?"

- Stuff like that.
- "Mom, can I get 50,000 won?"

So for clothes...

You wore your own clothes?

No, I mean I had none

so I'd go to shops...

- You got sponsorships?
- No stylist?

I didn't know how any of that worked!

[Secured clothing sponsorships himself]
"I'm going on a show, could you

- lend me some clothes?"
- You really hustled.

Then I'd take those clothes, ride the bus

and if no bus came, I'd wait there

[Waiting at the stop until first bus]
until the first bus and go home alone.

- You really went through a lot.
- I'd ride the bus home.

That's how it was back then.

But honestly

if it's an agency
they should've handled that for you.

What was that company even doing?

[No manager either]
I didn't have a manger, just riding the bus alone.

Why did you even stay with that agency?

I didn't know any better then...

Hey, so back then

did you go to auditions yourself?

There weren't even auditions.

The only one I did was High Kick.

So you passed that audition

got your own clothes, rode the bus.

- And your fee went straight to them?
- Yeah, that's how it was.

What the heck...

- You just got ripped off.
- That's insane.

Shouldn't you have been on "PD Note"?

Well, it's all in the past now.

[Thankfully now]
Shouldn't you be on "PD Note"?

[Has been with a good agency for 16 years now]
That's how it was back then.

Man, that's ridiculous.

If you guys had known

you would've sorted it out.
"Hey, what's going on here?"

[The brothers would've rushed right in]
We'd have gone straight to complain.

Kwang Soo, why are you taking the bus?
Why are you carrying your own clothes?

Some people around me
did try to say stuff back then

but I thought it was just
a situation I couldn't change.

He's just too nice.

- That must've been tough.
- Kwang Soo worked hard.

And now after all that

he won the Best Supporting Actor.

Yeah.

Now you just need to win Best Actor.

[Aiming for Best Actor with "Love Barista"]
With Love Barista

he's going for Best Actor this time.

Byung Hun, Jung Min, get ready!

Kwang Soo's coming!

[Uneasy]

That's enough.

You're stirring things up.

No, seriously, take it slow.

- No, Kwang Soo!
- I get what you mean.

- But you won Supporting Actor
- I really appreciate it, but...

- so now go for Best Actor!
- No, I mean...

Step by step...

- Dream big!
- It's time to get nervous.

No, I mean, give it some time.

[Finally calmed down]
Okay, fine.

Kwang Soo's got long strides! He's moving fast!

He's really found his place now.

I knew you'd win an award after watching "Karma."

Me too! You were great in that.

When friends say it's good
that means it's really good.

[At Jong Min's wedding with Kwang Soo]
We went to Jong Min's wedding together

and everyone there

[Everyone mentioning "Karma"]
every single person talked about it.

Every single person.

Even strangers were like, "Karma was insane."

Everyone!

Yeah...

Bro.

We were sitting together. Why are you acting
like it's the first time hearing this?

You heard it too.

You were at my table?

He was right next to you.

[In disbelief]

I remember, I remember!

[Now recalling]
There was a chef in front of us.

Chef Jung Ho Young, right?

Yeah, yeah.

I remember him clearly.

But not remembering Kwang Soo is...

[Trying to remember again]
You were next to me, right?

On my left, right?

I was on your right.

- Then who was on my left, was it you?
- Me.

[Same seating arrangement as today]
We were sitting like this?

You usually look at the person in front of you.

How often do you keep looking to the side?

We talked for ages.

About what?

You were talking about health stuff.

Health?

Prostate talk.

The funny thing was

Seok Jin)
Hey, your prostate okay?

"Do you get up to pee at night?"

[Heartfelt advice from the elder]
"You should take medications."

He was talking about that for ages.

"I'll hit the bathroom."

Like a little kid.

He went in and didn't come out for ages.

I swear, like a preschooler going potty.

It's true!

- Oh man...
- People will believe this.

"I can't hold it anymore!"

and ran off

and didn't come back for ages.

People will think it's real.

You're gonna end up in a commercial.

[Time to defend]
On the way

I ran into Yeong Seok, so I said hi
and Won Ho too.

Woo Jung and everyone. We chatted for a while.

But this...

After all this talk, you don't remember, haha.

But hey! Do you remember everything?

[Only about three months ago]
It wasn't long after Jong Min's wedding

so you should remember this much...

Live easy, man.

It's not a big deal if you remember or you don't.

Why are you mad right now?

[Can't understand this]
Back then...

[Wiping away tears again today]
I'm just saying

[Upset]
we talked about those stuff back then.

You be the one to understand.

You understand!

Why make things complicated?

Why are you hitting me now?

He's getting physical now, haha.

- Why are you hitting me?
- Stop overcomplicating things!

I might not remember, so what!

It's not complicated.

"Love Barista"! Coming on October 2nd.

October 3rd... haha.

Isn't that National Foundation Day?

[Love Barista Vietnam release - October 3rd]
That's the Vietnam release.

[Domestic release - second half of the year]
The domestic release is in the second half.

So the Korea release... That's ages away.

As of this show.

Yeah, pretty much.

[Coming to Korea soon]
If you wait a little longer...

- You'll be able to see it all.
- Yeah.

The Asia Prince is heading out again.

There's a reason they cast Kwang Soo.

[Running Man]
When we filmed in Vietnam

I'm so thankful to the people there.

They welcomed us so warmly.

And you know Coach Park Hang Seo's
massive popularity in Vietnam.

[Almost as popular]
Kwang Soo was...

- An absolute hit.
- It was incredible.

What I'm most grateful for

is all the cheering.

Going into that mall.

Remember? So many people came.

It's one of the most memorable countries...

Wait, but if you're gonna tell a specific story...

I mean...

You keep saying the same thing over and over.

He just said "wow."

Argh, wow.

You should tell what happend in Vietnam.

If you're gonna say "Remember the mall?"
you need to follow it with a story.

There is no story.

I was just adding to what he said.

So it's like

in pansori, you know?

[Like a pansori interjection...]
It was just an "Eolssu!"

- An interjection?
- Sure.

[Sharing a real story instead]
Since it's about overseas trips

when I first joined Running Man
Seok Jin would always say

"Once you go abroad
people are gonna recognize you a lot."

[Hyping up the world star]
He'd hype me up.

Then for another show, just the two of us

["Sales King TV" on Channel A]
we went overseas together

[First overseas shoot with Seok Jin]
for the first time after I joined Running Man.

Seok Jin

[Hyping started on the plane]
even before we left, on the plane

"Just wait till you get there!"

"Banners everywhere."

"People shouting your name
you need to experience it!"

[Shaking]
Even the crew was like...

Why are you shaking your legs so much?

Even the staff

[The hype sparks an urgent meeting]
had a meeting.

[Seok Jin calls in the crew]
He calls them over: "Hey, come here a sec."

Seok Jin)
When we come in, we should get a shot.

"What kind of shot?"

One with crowds, security guards, the works.

[So they go to get that insert]
Total chaos.

[The crew rushes off the plane first]
They get off first.

[You can already see where this is going]
Then Seok Jin and I get off

and I swear, in my whole life...

No one! Not a single person!

[Secondhand embarrassment]
It was dead silent. So he turns to me

Seok Jin)
Hey, Se Chan. Just keep our heads down and walk.

[Quietly escaping the airport]
We just walked out quietly.

It was way too early.

We landed at 5 a.m.

Not a soul there!

On this recent shoot, it was huge again, right?

[Asia Prince still going strong]
Yeah, lots of support.

- Se Chan came once back then too.
- I did.

[in SsookSsook]
At SsookSsook.

[Visiting Vietnam to cook for Kwang Soo]
I went to cook for him.

And then the director

["Love Barista" cast and staff assembly]
gathered everyone.

Director)
Everyone, attention please.

Director)
You all like "Running Man," right?

Yes.

Yang Se Chan...

is visiting Vietnam.

[Like a mega-star appearance]

He might even visit the set.

But don't make it too big of a deal.

If he comes, don't overwhelm him.

Oh...

Just act natural.

Oh...

So there was a buzz? Yang Se Chan is coming!

Idol killer! Idol killer.

Why are idols in this story?

Yang Se Kill!

[Jeestate]
Jee Lip Sun!

[Jee Lip Sun]
Hey, no!

They'll think it's real.

It's not.

Lip Sun.

[Pinggyego!]

Why are we gathered today? Your birthday party?

No, love!

[Today's reason - "Love Barista" promotion]
And celebrating Kwang Soo's

[Blue Dragon Series Awards Best Supporting Actor]
Blue Dragon win.

[Celebrating Jae Seok and Kwang Soo's birthdays]
And my birthday, and Kwang Soo's belated birthday.

What if you hadn't won?

[Forced excuse exposed]
That doesn't make sense.

Then it's a nomination celebration!

[Persuaded]
Nomination?

As fellow comedians

proudly!

A comedian winning a big acting award

- that's huge!
- The best.

- Once in a lifetime.
- And it felt so good.

Of course it did.

[Cheering from Yang Se Bro Show]
Also Se Chan's concert.

An celebrating that you chased off the dung fly.

[Celebrating Seok Sam's dung fly extermination]
There's a mountain of things to celebrate today.

[Mountain of celebrations]
So many.

- A lot.
- A lot, I see.

While we're on the subject

[Adding more to the celebration list]
anything you'd like us to celebrate for you?

Celebrate for me?

Anything at all, even tiny things.

- I've got one.
- What is it?

My stocks

are finally in the red after 3 or 4 years.

[Congrats, Yang Se Chan finally in profit]
Now that's worth celebrating.

KOSPI's been rising lately

[First red numbers in years]
so I'm finally in the profit.

What's wrong with mine, then?

- Yours still hasn't gone up?
- Still... yeah...

It's because only blue-chip stocks are rising now.

- It's a blue-chip market.
- I'm in blue chips.

I'm not, so...

Don't you have something to celebrate?

- I think I do.
- What is it?

As a singer...

My first gig.

[Congrats, Chungju Ji's event debut]
It's a big deal for me.

That really is worth celebrating.

That totally deserves celebration.

A brand new path!

I've always said this, but
what you're doing is really inspiring.

As a younger one, watching you...

[Not settling for what he's always done]
You keep challenging yourself.

[Taking on new challenges]
It could feel like a hassle.

Right.

"At my age...?"

You could feel awkward, but you never do.

True! When Ye Eun suggested it

it was a battle with my own laziness.

Yeah, it feels like a hassle.
"Do I really need to...?"

But I just did it with this one though.

If I do it, it'll be worth it!

In the end, it'll be a memory in my life.

That's priceless!

So I pushed myself, and luckily...

On Melon, it even broke
into the top 100 for a bit.

Like a fly, landed and then flew away.

So you shouldn't have removed this.

It was foreshadowing!

Should I have kept it?

It just landed and took off like a fly.

Still, I'm grateful.
Even hitting 99 is no small feat.

[A short but happy time]
It was only for a week, but it made me so happy.

So at an event, how many songs do you do?

- Just one?
- About five.

You need to fill at least 30 minutes.

And also...

That's part of my job, to plan it all out.

But honestly, "Beach Again"

[Yu Jae Seok, Lee Hyo Ri, Rain]
the song from our SSAK3 days...

No one sings it more than Seok Sam.

[Seok Jin, Ji Hyo, Se Chan]
Even at Running Man events, I do it with Se Chan.

[Singing at a Running Man event]
I sing "Beach Again" with Ji Hyo.

It's on the list too. "Beach Again."

"Naengmyeon," "Airplane," those kinds of songs.

- You sing "Naengmyeon" too?
- Yeah, I do!

Why "Naengmyeon"...?

What? Can't I sing "Naengmyeon"?

Do you own the rights?

I'm just asking why.
He could just give me the reason!

- But why are you like this to Kwang Soo?
- Why can't I sing "Naengmyeon"?

[Expected answer 1]
Because it's summer.

[Expected answer 2]
Because it's a great song.

I sang it at Waterbomb.

[Already rehearsed]
So I've got it ready.

Anyway, the gigs keep coming in.

[More event offers on the way]
We're going to keep doing events.

- You should.
- It's so cool.

It's fun! It feels good.

Yeah, this is something to be proud of!

[Kwang Soo's turn in the celebration relay]
Kwang Soo, anything to celebrate?

A little while ago, my ceiling was leaking...

- And you fixed it?
- Stopped it?

Yes! Just the other day.

[Congrats, Kwang Soo's leak problem solved]
I got it fixed the other day.

- From upstairs?
- It's all clean now.

What about a new project?
That's worth celebrating too, right?

Yeah, yeah. I'm filming it right now.

Your teeth...?

Not teeth... haha.

[Reminder: Gold Land, not gold teeth]
It's Gold Land, not gold teeth.

[Finally clear on the project name]
Gold Land.

Who's in it?

Park Bo Young.

Ah, I get it. I get it.

[Furiously grabbing Gyeju]
There you go again.

Get what?

What's there to "get"
when I haven't said anything?

- I have no idea either.
- Who set you up for this one?

Why is every project always "Oh, I get it"?

[Whenever asked who's in it]
"Who's your co-star?"

[It all comes down to "I get it"]
"Oh, I get it."

With Kyung Soo? Oh, I get it.

Is it set in the past? Like late Joseon era?

No, it's modern day...

Why Joseon era? Haha

I mean searching for gold these days is a bit...

It's not searching for gold...

[The story of a fight over gold bars]
It's about people fighting to claim gold bars.

Fighting over it.

Like Infinite Challenge's "money bag race," right?

You're tuning "Love Barista"
into your music video.

If the director hears, they'll get the wrong idea.

It's not that.

- There must be a chase scene, right?
- Desire!

Chasing human desire!

What hasn't Infinite Challenge done?

[There's nothing missing from the IC universe]
Exactly.

When's it coming out?

We only started filming recently.

Is it a movie? OTT?

Disney+ original series.

Bit early to be promoting it, no?

I'm not promoting...

You keep saying teeth.

So I had to clarify.

[Just correcting a mistake...]
Everyone keeps saying teeth.

To say it's not

- I have to talk about it.
- You should've taken it out!

It doesn't come out!

I tried at home, it doesn't come out.

Then paint it white.

And tell the director

that you're already promoting.

They'll love that.

I don't even know when it's releasing yet.

How long is this going to go on? Haha.

I don't know either. It's gotta end sometime.

I just don't want them thinking
I'm trying to be stylish.

And Bo Young is doing "Our Unknown Seoul," right?

Right.

[Four-role acting showcase
in "Our Unwritten Seoul"]

"Our Unwritten Seoul."

"Our Unwritten Seoul" is doing really well.

Bo Young's on fire right now.

She's always been on fire. Always popular.

I think she really takes great care of herself.

Why are you suddenly talking about self-care

when we were talking about her drama?

You're not even talking about her acting.

- That's all part of taking care of yourself.
- Huh?

But hey...

- That's part of it.
- Why is he so sensitive with me?

It's because of those teeth.
You feel like a different person.

Kwang Soo, today...

Maybe it's the teeth, but...

I guess you just feel unfamiliar today.

[The reason revealed]
You look like a thug.

That's the role, right?

- Yeah, that's the role.
- Yeah, it must be for the role.

A regular guy wouldn't go around like that.

Wow, but you've got so many projects going.

[Aside from "Love Barista"]
You filmed the Vietnam one.

[Currently working on multiple projects]
You're filming this one.

Filming this one.

Didn't you film something else?

"The Manipulated."

[Disney+ series with Kyung Soo]
That's the one with Kyung Soo.

"The Manipulated."

Kyung Soo put him in.

Oh, is this another "I get it" moment?

[The furious Round 2]

"I get it" hahaha.

No, it has nothing to do with him!

That's not the route it came through.

That's not possible, right?

No!

That doesn't happen anymore.

I got it through official routes.

- Right?
- Of course.

- Yeah, right.
- Through the agency and all!

Of course!

Kwang Soo's doing really well these days.

- Yeah, he's on a roll.
- It's hard to be this busy.

Ah, and Seok Sam too.

[The compliment relay continues]
Chungju Ji.

And Se Chan.

[Yang Se Bro Show is also sold out]
Pretty much sold out.

It's sold out.

Selling out tickets these days isn't easy.

Even the organizers were
worried at first, I heard.

Yeah, they were really worried at the beginning.

[Initially planned for about 1,000 seats]
When we said, "Let's go for 1,000 seats"

they said, "Okay, sounds fine"
and the vibe was good.

[But at first, ticket sales were slow]
When tickets didn't sell

- people here were like hmmm.
- Is this the right call?

Wondering if you should scale it down.

Yeah, right. But now it's all good.

Even while practicing, we're happy right now.

Right, once the seats fill up.

The energy is great.

And for the production team as well

the fuller the house, the better.

They need to make a profit too.

So there was a whole table.

[Plans matched to ticket sales]
You need Plan B, and C.

There were a lot.

[If Plan A: sold out]
If it sold out

we'd go all out, everything!

[Stage facilities and equipment]
Full LED, the works.

[If Plan B: slow sales]
If sales were bad

we'd cut stuff.

[Stage elements removed]
The stage.

No fireworks, no extras, stripped-down stage.

But now...

- You can do it all!
- Everything's in?

To the point people might say
"Wow, isn't that a bit much?"

Yeah, that's really something to celebrate.

Now, everyone coming will really enjoy it.

- And this is your first show together, right?
- Our very first!

If it goes well

this production company will start planning more.

[When a show does well]
Like more dates in other cities.

[Future extra shows planned]
Probably every weekend.

You'll tour all over.

Like a singer's tour.

Bro...

You've never done that, have you?

Do you have to try it to know?

Hey.

Huh, unbelievable.

You have to do it yourself to know?

If you've been in showbiz for over 30 years
you know how this stuff works.

But... you haven't, right? Haha.

I really thought that was out of experience.

No, never. Haha.

He hasn't, but why...

- Never.
- And who is he to...

That's bound to be!

Talking like you've walked that road.

[MSG Wannabe]
If the M.O.M. concert had gone well

we were gonna tour like that too.

Yeah.

[Cancelled due to COVID]
But COVID hit.

- Anyway, congrats.
- Yeah, it's something to be grateful for.

It really is.

But hey...

It's my birthday, why aren't you singing for me?

[Come to think of it...]

We even have candles here.

[Enough chatter, time for the joint b-day party]
Me and Kwang Soo.

- One each.
- Yeah.

Wow, we're doing this so late.
We should've done it as soon as we got here.

- It's fine to do it now.
- Yeah?

[Getting the party ready for real]
Yep.

Like this.

So what are we celebrating? Hold on.

[Reviewing the reasons to celebrate again]
Jae Seok's birthday, and you...

His birthday just passed as well.

[July 14th: Kwang Soo's birthday]
Oh the belated birthday?

[Filmed just a few days later]
It was July 14th.

[August 14: Jae Seok's birthday / upload day]
Mine's August 14th.

[Lighting the candles]
Wow, Kwang Soo and I

- have the same date.
- Right.

[Quick setup]

Let's just sit.

[Birthday boys seated]

[Awkward birthday party]
It's embarrassing doing this for someone you know.

- Why? You guys should be standing.
- Oh! We have to stand?

- We should be seated.
- Yeah, the birthday people sit.

[Pre-party squabble]
If you're the ones being celebrated, you sit.

Hey...

Are you a princess?

Do I look like one?

- Why the princess thing...
- Haha, cute!

Then what am I? A prince?

What are you, then?

[ID: Gold-Tooth Princess]
Isn't this something you put on your little girl?

[ID: Grasshopper Prince]
Your cute little daughter.

Alright then. Let's sit in front of the cake.

- Blow it out.
- Oh, right.

[Summer-born prince and princess]
Blow.

[Moving to the spotlight]
Blow one each.

- Go.
- Wow, it's been ages.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you, dear Jae Seok and Kwang Soo

[Surprisingly nice harmony to finish]
Happy birthday to you

Thank you.

- Thanks.
- Happy birthday.

Happy birthday!

- Here.
- Make a wish.

You first! Take turns.

[Way too many "captains" for this small party]
Kwang Soo, blow.

Blow together.

[Hands clasped together for no reason]
One, two, three.

[Making their birthday wishes]

Whoo!

[May all your wishes come true!]
Thank you.

- Did you make a wish?
- Yeah, I did.

Alright! Give it to me then.

- What?
- My birthday present.

[Awkward pause]

You should've told me so I could bring one.

[Wants a birthday gift, no excuses]
Still, you've gotta give me something.

[Looking through the pocket]
I don't have anything.

[Empty-handed guest]
Give me anything.

- What can I give you?
- Even a small thing.

[Improvised gift]

[Unimpressed]
Alright, nice.

Of course, I'll give you birthday gifts.

Actually, no.

[Random pack of wet wipes, found on the way here]

[Wet wipes and a melon, unexpected gift list]

- Happy birthday.
- Melons are great.

Melon is with us today.

[Alright, got it!]
No wonder!

- Is it soft?
- On my hands, it feels...

Soft, right?

It just sticks right to my hands.

[Realizing the misunderstanding]

[The famous PPL monster]
Hey, not this melon...

[Wobbling]

...What?

This melon here is cuter.

Look at this melon! Doesn't it look delicious?

[That's not the issue here...]
For real.

So fresh.

[Stop!]

[Runaway train in the wrong direction]
This is gonna be so sweet.

We're not promoting the fruit!

It's Melon, the music site!

[Everyone steering back on course]
The Melon site?

Oh, that one?

[Okay, message received!]
My own DJ!

Wow, this one!

- I even used Melon today.
- I use it all the time.

DJ Malang.

- Malang? This one's Malang, right?
- DJ Malang.

I can't even shower without Melon, seriously.

[Nonstop PPL machine]
What, do you scrub with it?

No, not that...

But hey, haha.
Look at you all thinking this is the PPL.

[Suddenly turning into a fruit shop]
Wow, this looks so good!

[Pinggyego!]

Ohhh, so it was your birthday?

[Resident comedian malfunctioning]
What are you talking about?

Have some from the front too.
Why are you only eating from the back?

I don't wanna mess with the shape.

It's basically a hedgehog at the back..

[Back side with all the fruit gone]

[Thinking of the Gyewon]
The back doesn't look as nice.

[Grabs another shine muscat while talking]
It's basically a hedgehog now.

You made all this yourself.

Stuck it into a pineapple?

[Pops a blueberry in]
Nice idea.

You really went all out.

[Perfect match with the vibe]
The staff, right.

[Warm compliments time]
I mean, they could've outsourced it.

Not easy to do.

And they could've just bought a cake.

So was there some PPL tie-in with the fruit?

[Nope]
Nope.

Then you should've done a cake!
That tastes better, why this?

[Oh?]
He said it tastes better.

[Seok Sam interpreter]
He just wanted cake.

- He's just saying it in a roundabout way.
- You ate this much.

[Ate it since it's there]
You picked it clean.

[But needing carbs]
He's just craving carbs right now.

[Only fruit platter was not enough fuel for talk]
Do you need some carbs?

Sure, carbs in the morning.

Like bread or something.

There was always something like that.

[Druing every morning shoot with Seok Jin]
Today there's nothing

[Carbs were always provided without fail]
so he's cranky now.

Kwangsoo, he's cranky.

- Oh, so you're in a bad mood because of that?
- Yeah, that's it.

When you don't have carbs, you get edgy!

No carbs today, so he's all riled up.

If it was part of the sponsor's pitch
I'd understand.

But it's not, so why...

Why are there two fruit platters?

- Hahaha.
- If one's fruit

the other could've been cake.

- But...
- Right?

He's actually getting angrier by the second.

[Gradient rage from carb deprivation]
Is this really something to get mad about?

Am I wrong?

[This can't do]
If there's no sponsor tie-in, then...

[Attempts peace offering with watermelon]

- Have some.
- Why are you giving me like this?

[Still smiling anyway]
Looks good, have it.

[Signing up is just an excuse / EP.54]
We made fruit punch here before too.

Right! With watermelon in it.

- Did we?
- Yeah.

Oh...

- I don't have much memory with Kwang Soo.
- You still eat fruit well.

If you give it to me, I'll eat it.

Hehe.

Did you just mutter

"I don't have much memory with Kwang Soo."

Why is he saying such hurtful things?

[Calm]

He seriously means that.

If you mutter it under your breath like that

that's how you know it's real.

[Indeed]
Yeah, that was real.

[Serious]
Why don't I remember making fruit punch at all?

- Did we?
- We ate it so happily.

- You enjoyed it so much.
- When you were here?

- Yeah.
- All four of us!

[Uploaded 2024.08.10]
We made fruit punch?

[Summer memories from a year ago]
We made it.

- With milk?
- Yeah.

[Precise]
And I think we even sat

- in the same spots as now.
- Yeah.

[Adding memory]
Just there.

[Adding more memory]
We added strawberry milk and you said it was good.

[Adding more memory]
And then you hogged the cornflakes after.

Being all greedy, right?

I don't remember.

At the wedding too
are you sure we were sitting like this?

Yeah!

Jong Min's wedding?

[Kwang Soo vanished from his memory]
Wow, seriously.

When I filmed with you, I remember
the backdrop was over there. I remember that.

[Remembers only the TV wall]
Right?

Yeah.

This is the "lights-out mall."

...What?

[Unaware of the story]
What mall?

[Named earlier this year]
We put chairs here and...

[Closed outlet zone by Dong Wook]
Dong Wook named it.

- So Dong Wook said that.
- Yeah.

I wasn't there.

[During Pinggyego filming]
You've never met Dong Wook, right?

[Misunderstanding]
What do you mean I've never met him?

He's my junior from high school.

No, I mean for filming.

But why is "he's my junior"

even a reason to get mad?

[Time for reflection]
Wow, seriously...

[Explaining]
I wasn't getting mad.

[Intercept]
When you get older...

When you get older, you're just like that.

- Why would you get mad...
- You just raise your voice.

- Hey, Kwang Soo.
- The tone just gets higher.

You think I was mad?

[Intercepting again]
It's not being mad, you just get louder.

- What?
- Huh?

What's wrong with you, haha.

You really think so?

[Translation: I wasn't mad]
So...

Like those restaurants
with the "angry grandma" owners.

- Right! Exactly like that.
- Just a loud tone.

It's just louder. Not actually angry.

[And the reason the tone went up...]
I wasn't mad...

[The carb shortage issue]
If you've got snacks or something...

It's fine, it's fine.

- Have a cup ramyeon!
- Want one?

Nah. Eating that alone would be weird.

[Emergency Alert]
He's mad. Come on.

We need to bring him down with carbs.

[Emergency response team: instant ramyeon]
Perfect.

But it's weird to eat alone.

[Responder]
Want a boiled egg too?

- Yeah, boiled egg.
- Grea... great. Boiled egg.

[Turns out Seok Sam was really hungry]
You have boiled eggs?

Because, you know

he usually

I didn't have breakfast.
- has breakfast here.

But today there wasn't anything, so he...

got mad.

[Frantic hands taking out eggs]
No, that's not it.

He's pretty mad.

Ah, now I get it.

Kwang Soo! It's not aimed at you.

Yeah, I get it.

[The backstory makes total sense]
Misunderstanding cleared up.

I almost misunderstood Seok Jin.

Because he always eats here

and they suddenly didn't give him anything.

I always got bread or something here.

[Sad]
This is basically his breakfast spot.

[The mistake: giving before]
They gave him all the time.

If they'd never given it in the first place
it'd be fine.

And now Woo Sung.

You didn't make the ramyeon
because of the egg, right?

Then he'll be like "Why aren't they giving it?"

You'd better boil the water now.

"Are you saving this for special occasions?"

- You already peeled it.
- No, it's fine. I don't need it.

It's just awkward to eat alone.

- Eat up.
- Yeah, eat up.

Thanks, man...

Stuff like this is great.

Last time

[Mukbang is just an excuse / EP.78]
when Bo Gum came, he brought bread.

Right.

This guy... You didn't bring anything, right?

[Second round of reflection time]

It's his birthday, bro.
His birthday, and he even got an award.

- It's his birthday.
- Why would you say that...

He brought some streamed buns
and they were so good.

[Even TWICE brought meat and dumplings last time]
So it just happens that whenever he's here...

- Someone brings food?
- Yeah.

Next time I work with Seok Jin
I'd better bring food.

Yeah, bring something.

No, it's fine.

But you

keep glancing over there, huh?

You have some too. Eating alone feels a bit...

- Why?
- Makes me look greedy.

[Nods]
You are greedy.

What's the point now?

You're Scrooge.

["Scrooge" sharing just for show]
Don't pretend to share just to look good.

That's even weirder.

[Affectionate]
It's good, eat it.

[Reason too transparent]
He says he looks greedy.

[Anyway, let's share]
Have some.

Let's eat, Kwang Soo.

[A little mango]
Eating like this, it all becomes a memory.

You'll think back on this.

[Like the fruit punch]
What's the point if you can't remember them?

- When we had those eggs...
- What do you mean think back on this?

You know, when you're peeling eggs somewhere
you'll think of this right now.

Ah, yeah, the eggs... They were so good that time.

But... the salt. There's no salt?

[Carb shortage keeps making him edgy]

- Just wondering...
- You already finished it all.

No, I'm just curious
If you have it, I'd like to ask.

Suck a finger.

Older folks

will understand exactly why.

[Mumbling]
I'm not doing that because I'm older.

This is just how I am.

See?

He's fuming.

Can't hold it in.

Hurry up with the ramyeon!

[Emergency alert again]

Seok Jin's gonna collapse.

[Rapid emergency deployment]
Thank you.

[Writer Woo Sung's rare trembling hands
1. When handing green tea to IU]

[2. When giving ramyeon to hungry Seok Sam]
Woo Sung, that's not it.

Woo Sung's hands are shaking so much.

- Salt.
- No, no.

Never mind. The eggs are gone already.

[Egg left over / unexpected win]

- Eating alone feels so weird...
- Dip it in some salt.

- Why?
- You guys want some too?

[Usually doesn't even eat ramyeon]
I actually don't eat this anyway.

[Perks up]

Really? Then, I'll...

How about rock-paper-scissors, one bite each?

Should we?

Let's do it!

[Doesn't want to be "Scrooge"]
Okay, let's set the order.

Since it's awkward eating alone
let's play rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors.

[Rock / Rock / Scissors / Scissors]

[Rock / Scissors]

[Ramyeon lover]
I'll go first.

[Need to decide 3rd and 4th]
First and second here.

We still need to set 3rd and 4th place.

[Tie]

[Tie]

[Paper / Scissors]

[Breaks down laughing while setting the table]

Yeah, I get why he might feel this way.

[Last place]
Why am I last?

It's not even staged, how did I end up last?

And... I already know exactly
what you guys are gonna do.

[Predictable future as soon as ramyeon opens]

One bite each!

- Wow, it's perfectly cooked.
- I really love ramyeon, so...

[Big bite]

- You can't eat it like that.
- Why not?

[Reasoning]
Because I'm fourth!

[Kind smile]

[Doesn't work]
That doesn't make sense, think about it.

[Agree]
One bite should be this much.

You learned math, right?

[Division, you know? Trying every excuse possible]

- You know what's fair.
- This is fair.

- I'm not overdoing it.
- Man, that looks so good!

Would I really take that much
just to keep you from eating?

If you eat that much, that's half...

[Just happily enjoying the taste]

Jae Seok makes noodles look so good.

[Completely immersed]

Looks amazing...

This is how you land a ramyeon commercial.

[Ends with a sip of broth]

[Next up, as planned]
I wanted more, but I held back.

Kwang Soo too.

[Hopeful]
Still plenty left, even after you ate.

[Special note about the next player]
And Kwang Soo

[Has a famous ramyeon-eating scene]
there's that ramyeon scene in "Inseparable Bros."

And lots of people cooked ramyeon watching that.

- Whew.
- Good, right?

Wow, when the steam and smell
hit your nose like this...

Need I say more?

Especially when you're sharing like this?

[The most delicious "just one bite"]
That's the best.

[Blinking]

[Second bite going in]

This is driving me crazy.

Oh man, that looks so good.
Go on, have some broth, Kwang Soo.

It's amazing.

Ugh, I want another bite.

[Slurp]

Nice.

[Then, a quiet yolk steal]
Since we already had the whites

[Hesitates]
protein's topped up.

Whose yolk is this?

[Precious]

- Why? Have your ramyeon later.
- I can have this, right?

- I'm starving.
- That's carbs.

How is this carbs?

[While everyone's focused on the yolk
extra noodles sneak into the broth]

Just a sip of broth...

[Yolk was just an excuse, cutting in line failed]
Wait your turn.

- Just one sip of broth.
- Have some watermelon.

Wow, so good.

- Se Chan...!
- But hey, this is...

[This turn's one bite is...]
Here, just this.

[Reasoning, then slurp]
We told you to just eat alone.

[Broth is a must]

Man, you really make the best slurping sound.

[Pretty sound]

[Come on!]

Is this ASMR?

[Pretty sound ASMR]

[Satisfied]

Give it to him.

So good.

[Finally, the long-awaited carbs]

[At last...!]
I'll never forget this.

Every time I see this instant noodles.

[Tada]

[Ingredient showcase]
That's kimchi.

You know that's the best part!

How did you finish the noodles this perfectly?

[Best birthday gift ever]
This is amazing.

[Aggrieved Seok Sam]
But hey.

We all took just one bite.

You said to share!

[Reminder]
Because you said you looked greedy, haha.

[Just following orders]
Do this and do that.

What are we supposed to do?

[Late option added]
You should've eaten in moderation.

[Anyway, result of rock-paper-scissors]
But you lost, remember?

If you drink the broth, the noodles will come up.

I can't even pick it up with chopsticks.

[Switching tools, big spoonful!]
That's a lot of kimchi.

Big pieces, huh?

Ha, big pieces?

Hey, you punk, "big pieces"...

Big pieces...

- I mean the kimchi...
- Do you even know Korean?

[Truly a happy birthday]
Big pieces.

When you eat that and sip the broth
you'll feel full.

Bite it with your front teeth.

[Unintentionally becoming a small-portion mukbang]
You'll taste that.

[Savoring...]
Good, right? The taste you imagined, right?

Wow.

Good, huh?

[One more bite]
Finally relieved, right?

Wow.

You even had some carrot.

[Healthy meal with balanced nutrition]
Gotta take care of your health, nice.

[Already on the fourth bite]

It's been a while
since I've seen you eat this carefully.

[Carefully lifting precious carbs from the soup]

[Cup ramyeon's charm is the broth]
It's been a while since I've seen you savor it.

- This is so good.
- Right.

[That's it!]
Good, right?

Lots of people will be making ramyeon after this.
It's so good, seriously.

You have to cook it.

Thanks to you, we all got to eat too!

Feeling full now!

[Boiling]
Ah, these punks, seriously, I...

Have some watermelon. Watermelon's great.

Too much hydration going on.

[Seok Sam's hydration log
Coffee, watermelon, assorted fruits, broth]

This, a chunk of watermelon

plus grapes, melon, kiwi.

[Adding mango]
I'll remember this.

- But hey...
- You really like fruit, huh?

It's a melon PPL, but is it okay to eat mango?

[It's not that melon...]
It's the Melon site.

Is it okay if I eat watermelon? Hahaha.

Yeah, it's fine.

It's also watermelon!

Mmm.

[Observing]

You're not holding in
when you need the bathroom, right?

- ...I'm fine.
- At this point, you probably should go.

Last time too, he was like

"I can't hold it anymore!"

- Because you've had so much liquid.
- I'm totally fine.

Holding it in can be bad for you
so you should just go.

I'm fine.

I've never seen anyone
rushing out at a wedding's highlight.

[Witnesses: Lee Kwang Soo, Yang Se Chan
Loss of patience at a key moment]

Usually, you'd stay for that.

You know this is exaggerated, right?

"Ugh! I can't hold it anymore!"

Like I'd actually...

[Strongly stressing it's just MSG talk]
"Oh no, I can't hold it anymore!"

[NO MSG]
Exactly, exactly!

You're not holding it right now, right?

I'm fine.

[And you?]
I'm still good.

I'm good.

- You?
- Why, want me to come with you?

No, no, I'm fine too.

[Bathroom check mid-chat]
No reason to fight.

[With a bit of side-eye competition]
If someone needs to go, just go. It's fine.

Now that it's come up, well...

I can't lose.

[Had coffee alone]
I had a diuretic... You didn't.

- I could drink a whole bottle of water instead.
- You didn't have coffee.

[Now prepping for a water-drinking show]
Drink some water.

I had coffee!

Want me to prove it?

[Competitive water chugging begins]
Everyone, coffee's a diuretic

scientifically proven.

Hahaha, what is this...

[From celebration to competition!]

Alright, coffee, bottoms up!

- Not even close.
- I can last six hours.

- Wow, doesn't even register!
- I could just chug water from now.

[Giraffe downing 500ml in one go]
You finished the whole thing?

Man, guys really turn
everything into a pride battle.

[Can't lose]

Hehe...

Why's your hand in your pocket?

Can't I put my hand in my pocket, punk?

Why do you keep...

- Cough.
- I can put my hand there if I want.

[Greypantsping spit water]
I can't put it in?

[Defensively explaining the suspicion]
Hey! I had my hand in there like this.

- It looks unnatural.
- Not at all.

Stop it, Princess.

[Princess snaps out of it
thanks to the Prince's call]

Princess, what's wrong?

Hey, Jae Seok, no signal yet?

Not at all.

See? Birthdays should be spent with these guys.

[Everyone knows]
Birthdays should be with them.

[The reason they're still sitting
when they could've wrapped up filming]

I could film one more
without going to the bathroom.

Relax your legs for a bit.

[Self-inflicted torture, cause of late wrap]

Why do you keep twisting your legs like that?

He's basically a pretzel!

I can't even cross my legs?

[Meanwhile, quietly finishing the water bottles]
Why are you nagging me about crossing my legs?

My nose is running now.

[Provoking again]

Can you drink more?

Me? Sure, but you try.

Because by now

I think the signal's come!

It's past the limit, Seok Jin.

He can't drink much!

- I mean, I'm not thirsty.
- Just loud!

He only drank this much!

But he made so many gulping sounds.
Like four, five times.

[The comms guy still checking for a signal]
No signal yet?

Of course not.

Then, can I press on your stomach once?

[Now the medic]

[Telling]
He's asking if he can press his belly.

[Back-and-forth bickering]

- Can't do that, haha.
- He'll have an accident.

[Endless provocation]
If you're really...

[Snaps]
Hey! Who do you think you are?

I'll let you press mine too.

[There's always friends like this...
Childish pride battle in full swing]

I can press here?

Hehe.

[Adults with a full bladder may leak
do not try this]

[Pass]

- Don't press him too hard.
- Don't...

[Things might get awkward for everyone]
I won't press hard.

I won't.

I'll be ready to spray water down here.

[Birthday event that's way too varied]

[Giraffe amusement park opens]

Aaaah, no!

[Seatbelt off]

Oh, I'm fine!

[That's incredible]

Healthy.

Wow, everyone here's healthy.

[Cheers to health]
[Celebrating good health]

With this much hydration!

You all saw that, right?

We're all healthy.

- Yep, can hold it for hours.
- Strong prostate.

See? Even after this much hydration.

[Prediction]
As soon as its over, he's running straight there.

Guaranteed! I swear!

Please, just shoot one bonus scene.

Like this, haha.

[Shaking]

Nope.

Legs bouncing now.

It's just a habit.

[Has the talent of making habits funny]
It's a habit!

Go now. Better than waiting for the bonus scene.

I'm fine.

Sheeeeeeee

No!

[Breaking out childhood skills]
Stop!

[From physical provocation to sound provocation]
Go already.

Nah, this is nothing.

I could film another whole episode of Running Man.

Ah, today's really...

all about bladder talk...!

First time ever... as a talk topic.

[Historic moment]
I'm sure it's the first in variety show history.

[Pinggyego!]

Our Kwang Soo's movie is coming out October 3rd.

- It'll premiere in Vietnam first.
- "Love Barista"!

[Korean release later this year, stay tuned]
"Love Barista"

and also Lee Kwang Soo's golden teeth!
Please give lots of support.

[Correction]
Gold Land.

[Paying for that comment with a smack]
Not golden teeth!

[But the title's stuck in everyone's head...]
"Lee Kwang Soo's Golden Teeth."

- Golden Teeth, hahaha.
- That's a good title though.

[In that case, again]
Lee Kwang Soo's Golden Teeth.

Bo Young put him in there.

[An even harsher smack]

Where did Kyung Soo put you in?

No, no.

[Off-beat smack]
And today

- Sheee
- thanks to all the Gyewon who joined us.

And above all!

Melon knows my taste just from listening!

As I said earlier, I'm an MVIP member.

We'll be back soon. Bye!

Jae Seok)
He's going, haha.

Seok Jin)
I just need to make a quick call.

Kwang Soo) Where are you going?
Se Chan) Film this bonus clip, please.

Seok Jin)
Just... just a quick call.

I'll go over there and take it.

- Seok Jin) Hello?
- Kwang Soo) Before the "bye" even ended!

Seok Jin)
Yes.

- He's going.
- You got a schedule?

Yeah, yeah.

I just finished now.

Okay, I see.

You okay?

[BGM: Dragon Pony - Radio Silence]
