[30-second preview]
How old are you?

Between 29 and 31.

That's a great approach.

She was like "Kyung Pyo! That's Ko Kyung Pyo!"

"Mom, he's not!"

As if it were preposterous.

Should I tell them that I am?

Jae Seok likes sports socks.

Sports socks.

- Sports socks.
- Long ones.

- Sports socks.
- I don't like when this happens.

Is it because you're too pale?

I don't like this.

You really are pale!

[Looking for hot spots to eat at
is a must when you're on a trip]

[Pinggyego is the hot spot for talking]

[Andong Station]

[Once again, let's have a tasty chat today]

[Pinggyego]

[This video contains
a paid advertisement for Bokkeumdang]

What's this?

- When did you get my autograph?
- It's fake.

[We wanted it to look like a hot spot]
It's a fake autograph.

Who did this fake autograph?

Ko Kyung Pyo. "I'm going to be a regular here?"

[Not the same as the real autographs]
You put the autographs up.

It's so early for this spread.

What is this tasty-looking feast?

It's dakbokkeumtang from Bokkeumdang.

[With the spiciness of Yupdduk]
Look at that.

[Spicy but good, Bokkeumdang dakbokkeumtang!]
It looks good.

[A bite of the chicken breast first]

Mm!

This is sweet and spicy.

Mm.

[Dakbokkeumtang ASMR]

This was cooked in a pressure cooker

so the chicken is juicy
and it absorbed all of the sauce.

[Going nuts on the chicken thigh]

How can you resist?

[Cheat code, pouring the sauce on the rice]

[Nom]

This is delicious. The sauce is so addictive.

This would be great for a team dinner

or even lunch, right?

Bokkeumdang dakbokkeumtang, thank you!

- La la la!
- There they are.

[MIMI and Kyung Pyo making a loud entrance]

[The Sixth Sense siblings have arrived
ten minutes before the agreed-upon time]

Wait.

[High-energy]
MIMI.

[Shakes hands first]

[The day before]
Isn't this the same outfit

[they shot tvN's Sixth Sense: City Tour]
you were wearing yesterday?

[Starting with a lighthearted morning joke]
It's not.

- Are you sure?
- I'm sure.

[Friendly]
Hello, sorry for not greeting properly earlier.

[Also friendly]
Nice to see you.

Gyewons, here we have Kyung Pyo and MIMI.

- Mi mi mi mi!
- Hi, everyone.

Mi mi mi mi!

[Such high energy from early in the morning]
It's early in the morning.

- How are you so full of energy?
- This is great.

Kyung Pyo, you're not a morning person, right?

That's right.

I'm usually sleeping
at this hour but today I'm here.

- He's an afternoon person.
- It's nice to be here.

See that? He says it's nice to be here.
You need to live life like Ko Kyung Pyo.

Live like Ko Kyung Pyo!

[Humble]
That's terrible advice.

- That would be a disaster.
- He doesn't take care of himself.

We were eating all day
while filming Sixth Sense yesterday.

[Never-ending eating schedule]
And he told me he's going to go eat crab after.

- Did you?
- I did. It was great.

[Amazed]

Maybe it's because you eat so well
but your face looks great.

It's glowing.

Well, I have makeup on.

Look at him.

[The face of the youngest son of a wealthy family]
He looks like he's from a wealthy family.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- Can we start eating?
- Yes, you can.

[They must be hungry]
Let me get into the drumstick.

Wow, fried chicken feet is a great idea.

It's good.

[Nom]
You couldn't even tell that it's chicken feet.

Mm!

MIMI, did you eat breakfast?

I didn't.

[Obsessed with the chicken feet]
I did have a cup of hot chocolate.

- You did?
- Yes, in the morning.

[Looking at something]
You had hot chocolate in the morning?

We prepared hot chocolate for you too.

Double hot chocolate.

[Here's your hot chocolate]
Amazing.

[but with ice]
I love it.

[Takes a sip]
She's so full of energy even indoors.

- It's good, isn't it?
- It is. This is great.

MIMI, you definitely have
more energy indoors than outdoors.

It was freezing yesterday
but it's nice and warm here.

This is the first time MIMI and Kyung Pyo

[Their first time on Pinggyego!]
are here on Pinggyego.

That's right.

I've always wanted to come on here.

- You have?
- Yes.

[Toss]
It's an honor.

[Catch]
It really is.

- People are jealous of me.
- Come on, it's not that big of a deal.

I want to be here for the award show.

[Ambitions of an award show stage maniac]

It's the beginning of the year
and you're already thinking about the award show.

[Proving she's a Gyewon]
The recent award show video

hit eight million views.

- That's amazing.
- They're very conscious

of the number of views they get.

If we're in it
it has to hit at least a few million.

[Determined]
Of course, it's our livelihood.

We're counting on your views!

We're counting on you.

[Cheers]
What a sly old fox.

But you know, Kyung Pyo's lifestyle

is very free.

[Kyung Pyo is known for his laid-back fashion]
He went viral for his slides

and his shorts.

Those are his actual daily outfits.
None of them were staged.

I don't like to dress up.

I know.

It makes you wonder

[Unbothered bite]
"Why is he dressed like that?"

but after you've talked to him

you realize that's just who he is.

You didn't put any thought
into those outfits, did you?

I actually did.

You did?

[Since it came up]
Those were taken when I was in France.

[let him explain the pictures]
You can only pack so many clothes, right?

- You want to pack light.
- That's true.

And I bought a nice mint green cardigan

but it was hot.

So I wanted to wear it
with nothing under but a necklace.

And I also wanted to wear shorts.

You have your own fashion philosophy.

- Your own philosophy.
- Of course. Also, I have nice legs.

- I see.
- You know?

- He's proud of his legs.
- And those were...

I am proud. And those were
the only pair of shorts I had.

[He admits]
The color combination wasn't the best.

But French people loved it.

It was giving haute couture.

- Haute couture?
- It's the fashion capital of the world.

- Haute couture?
- And people liked it.

- Was it giving haute couture?
- It was. Haute couture.

Kyung Pyo says he's confident about his legs.

- So he owns a lot of shorts.
- He's very confident.

He can't wait for the summertime.

He's very proud of his legs.

- Stay tuned.
- For your legs?

- Stay tuned for what?
- For your legs?

Yes, my legs.

He's hungry for attention.

[He admitted it]
He admits that he loves attention.

- I admit.
- There's nothing wrong with that.

He already admitted it.

[Another bite]
These are delicious.

- They are, aren't they?
- They're good, right?

It's amazing.

[They love it]
It's so addictive.

[Next target]
Are these potato pancakes?

[Haha]

Didn't you

eat a lot yesterday?

He ate till the very end.

[Amazed]

The thing is

Kyung Pyo will keep eating until he says

"I can't eat anymore. I'm so full."

Then he'll move on to the next restaurant and say

"Wow, I didn't think I could eat more but I can."

[Busted]

"This is delicious."

[Amazed by his appetite]
You eat so well.

- I live to eat.
- I get it.

I do need to work out, though.

- You don't work out, do you?
- No, I don't.

Your arms are big so I thought you did.

[Flexing]
But you...

You swim, though.

[Pressing / Flexing]
I used to.

It's hard.

Come on, at least try to sound sincere.

[Insincerity exposed]
Come on.

- I mean, it looks hard.
- Okay.

[Pinggyego]

- Look who it is.
- Welcome!

Welcome.

[Eun yi enters]
Ms. Song is here.

[Pleasantries]
Hello.

It's nice to see you two days in a row.

Are you sure it's nice?

[Everyone from the tour is here]
It's nice that I get to see you so often.

Speaking of which

some of the Gyewons might've
already noticed what today is about

[On tvN's Sixth Sense: City Tour]
but Sixth Sense

[Yu Jae Seok, Song Eun yi, Ko Kyung Pyo, and MIMI]
was joined by Eun yi, Kyung Pyo

[tour the city to find the fake]
and MIMI.

[It's a city tour]
Yesterday was very cold

[so they shot outdoors in freezing weather]
but everyone did a great job.

- Great job yesterday.
- You too.

It's been so cold lately.

You didn't use to get that cold but now you do.

- Do you think so?
- You didn't use to.

But wasn't it super cold yesterday?

He kept saying "It's cold. It's so cold."

- He was so whiny.
- He's like a rapper.

- He was whiny the whole day.
- Ms. Song!

[Drops a truth bomb right after sitting down]
Ms. Song, that's rather harsh.

[When did I do that?]
When was I like that?

- Was I like that?
- Speak up, guys.

- Was I really?
- You need to speak up.

[Sucked into an argument that's not theirs]
Kyung Pyo, was I like that?

I know that you're on his team

- but you need to say what you have to say.
- Was I constantly saying that I was cold?

[Remains neutral by eating chicken feet]

[Remains neutral by drinking chocolate milk]

At least we were all bundled up in thick clothes

but MIMI, wow.

She didn't even button her jacket.

[A fashionista doesn't mind the season]
I like to be stylish.

- I want to be stylish.
- I know.

[Minus 11 degrees Celsius]
Still, on a day like yesterday, it's impressive.

[They ate a lot yesterday as well]
We ate so much yesterday.

- Let me have some.
- This is good.

[That doesn't mean]
This

[she's not going to eat today]
dakbokkeumtang

[She goes straight for the rice]
sauce goes great with the rice.

You said you were going to go on the treadmell...

[My bad]
I mean the treadmill.

Did you go on the treadmill?

[Making rice balls]
I didn't. I had to go see MATA HARI.

- Oh, MATA HARI the musical?
- MATA HARI the musical.

- Oh, the musical?
- The one with Ok Joo Hyun in it.

You went to see a musical after shooting?

[24 hours are too short for her]
After we were done shooting

[After shooting Sixth Sense]
I went back to the office

[she had a meeting at the office]
because I had a meeting.

[and then saw MATA HARI]
Then I went to see MATA HARI in the evening.

[Still mixing]
They were amazing.

Look at you.

Telling your story while making rice balls
makes you seem hearty.

It's the way she tells it too.

The mayonnaise is what makes it hearty.

[Ping]
Big auntie is here to feed us.

[Pong]
I'm about that age.

- We're like food waiting for birds.
- About that age.

[Oh, right]
I mean birds waiting for food.

[She caught that]
She said "food waiting for birds."

[Another entry to MIMI's book of misquotations]
Food waiting for birds, haha.

Hang on, I'll make them for you.

[I'll feed the birds]
I'll make them into balls for you.

Thank you for that.

- It's like a family gathering.
- It is.

[Big auntie's wishes]
Don't just stare at my hand. Keep talking.

Do you notice anything different about me?

[Stares]

You look a bit puffy.

No, not that.

[An innocent truth bomb]
That's every day, though.

- Not that.
- What's different about Kyung Pyo?

- Is it something about your appearance?
- Yes.

I got a little trim off the back.

- Oh.
- Oh.

When I looked into the mirror after the haircut

[A familiar haircut]
I saw both you and Eun yi.

- You have the same haircut as us.
- Yes.

[Nods]

He kind of looks like Jeong Hyung Don

[LOL]
when he had that bob cut.

Hyung Don?

When he was doing "Wait a minute"?

[That's right]
Kyung Pyo

is giving off Hyung Don vibes.

- Hyung Don is adorable.
- From the side.

- It's a compliment.
- What a lovable guy.

I was surprised by Kyung Pyo.

You know how actors look different
in their busy season and off season.

Before and after getting paid for the role.

But...

I look like I'm always in my off season.

He's so free.

When I saw his belly after he ate yesterday...

[Protecting the actor's public image]
I was so shocked.

[My belly?]
When he was sticking it out and patting it.

Stop it.

You shouldn't do that, Kyung Pyo.

You're an actor.

I lose weight fast, though.

You do?

I like to surprise people with my different sides.

So I show them my free side like this

and when I'm working...

- There's a big difference.
- I even speak differently.

- How do you speak?
- How?

Hello, I'm Ko Kyung Pyo. Nice to see you.

Like that.

It's like the real-life version
of 200 Pounds Beauty.

- That's right.
- A real-life 200 Pounds Beauty.

Kyung Pyo is the real-life version
of 200 Pounds Beauty.

[Oh right!]
200 Pounds Handsome.

[The rice balls are ready]
Looks good.

Are you not having any of this, Eun yi?

- I have mine right here.
- Oh, do you?

[Taking care of each other in the driest way]
I saved them up, don't worry.

Go ahead, guys.

They're so round.

You did a good job.

[Second round with the rice balls]
Thank you.

MIMI is great at taking advantage of her time off.

- You were just in the Philippines, right?
- I was.

[Took a quick three-day trip to Clark]
I was in Clark.

She was there for just three days.

I just started to learn swimming.

There was a pool
where I was staying in the Philippines

[Practiced alone]
so I was just practicing like this.

I'd never learned how to swim.

Do you swim, Kyung Pyo?

I love to swim.

I go to Jamwon Hangang Swimming Pool
every year. I buy a season pass.

- They have a season pass?
- They do have a season pass.

How much is the season pass?

- It's pretty cheap.
- It must be cheap.

[Jamwon Hangang Swimming Pool]
I think it was 50,000 won.

[Open from June to August]
After paying 50,000 won

[A one-day pass costs 5,000 won for adults]
you can get in

[The season pass costs 50,000 won]
throughout the entire season.

The entire season?

A one-day pass is 5,000 won.

So if you're going to go more than ten times
it's better to get the season pass for 50,000 won.

Right.

The funny thing is that
I see the same people every year.

- So...
- The same people.

They say hi to me.

But I go looking like this.

Some people are still shocked
but a lot of them are used to it now.

You're usually topless at the pool, right?

Of course.

You know how I'm not shy.

[Hahaha]
He really isn't shy at all.

He's not embarrassed. He's so free.

[Not shy, so free]
That's why I say you should live like him.

Do you wear your favorite colorful shorts?

I do wear my colorful shorts.

[Even when he goes swimming]
My short swim trunks.

[he's a wild fashionista]
When I'm swimming.

The funny thing is that they don't have lanes.

- I know.
- That's right.

So there's an unspoken rule among the regulars.

[Intriguing]
What is it?

The thing is...

[The rule among the regulars]
The width of the pool is 60 meters.

That's really wide.

And the length is 30 meters.

[Indoor pools are usually 25 meters long]
Most pools are 25 meters long.

- So the length is already longer than most.
- It is.

[The rule among the regulars]
So the regulars there

[at the pool without lanes]
including me

only swim length-wise. Thirty meters.

- And not the 60 meters.
- That's right.

[To minimize bumping]
So that we don't bump into each other.

[they only swim length-wise]
Thirty meters is already pretty far.

[That keeps the width of the pool to 60 meters]
So that makes the pool

[thus securing more virtual lanes]
wider for everyone.

But not all people know that.
People who haven't been there before

and...

Sometimes two people walk on two feet.

What does that mean? How is that possible?

Couples.

[Let me grab you]
"Let's go."

[My floating baby]
They're holding each other.

"Babe, hold me!"

[Reenacting]
That's why they walk on two feet.

They're holding each other.

Learning a new thing every day.

[Two people, two feet]
Two people walking on two feet.

[They're holding each other]
They're walking together

[so only one set of feet is touching the floor]
or holding each other.

[The lover boy is excited for some reason]
That's why there are only two feet.

That makes

[Thanks to them]
the swimming more interesting.

Because you can't just go straight.

You have to avoid them on the way.

[The swimmer is not complaining
about the romantic obstacles]

That makes it more fun.

A lot of people go to that pool in the summertime

but people who are practicing or learning...

I had no idea.

- They usually go to the indoor pools.
- Most people at that pool

- float around in inflatable tubes.
- That's right.

And they enjoy poolside snacks

- or are sunbathing.
- That's right.

I thought that pool was only for those people.

I never thought that someone
would go there to actually swim like you do.

I was told that I have

a lot of evil spirits in my stars.

They said that I have to
show my bare skin to a lot of people

to get rid of those spirits.

[Exorcism at the pool?]
You're performing exorcism?

- I heard that's one way.
- Okay.

- It's supposed to help me avoid embarrassment.
- Okay.

[LOL]
But doesn't that process make you embarrassed?

[Believe it or not]
I'm destined to a lot of embarrassment in life

and exposing my bare skin
to a lot of people apparently helps.

[Believe it or not]
That's how you get rid of

the embarrassment.

[Believe it or not]
And they told me to be close to water too.

That's why you bought
a season pass to Hangang Swimming Pool.

- It checks all the boxes.
- To expose your bare skin.

[Gets rid of bad energy and keeps the water close]
You can show skin

[on top of getting some exercise]
and be close to water.

[One more bonus]
And another thing.

[he can enjoy the scenery]
The scenery is fantastic.

That's right.

- It's a big outdoor pool.
- In the nature.

- It's so much fun.
- It does look great.

What about you, Eun yi?

I have a phobia of water.

I almost drowned
at a public bath when I was four or five.

- Oh.
- At a public bath.

- When you were little.
- What happened was

[Little Eun yi was in the tub]
I was in the tub

when I slipped.

I was underwater
and I could see the adults up there.

[Focusing on her serious story]
I could see all of them

but they didn't know I was drowning.

So I was stuck underwater

when a lady saw me

- and pulled me up.
- She saved you.

[Thankfully, she was rescued]
But I was terrified.

Since then, I can't go in the water
unless my feet touch the ground.

My feet have to touch the ground.

I can teach someone how to swim, though.

How?

I did actually teach someone how to swim once.

You know Kwon Jin Young.

I taught her how to swim.

How can you teach someone how to swim
when you don't know how to swim?

I... just did.

[Everyone is confused by this swim instructor]
I'm interested in swimming.

She's an unlicensed instructor.

[Confused / Finds it hilarious]
I'm interested in swimming.

[She's scared of going in the water]
I'm interested

[but still interested in swimming]
so I kept thinking about how to swim

and simulating it in my head theoretically.

Because I can't actually go in the water.

So when I went on a trip
to the Philippines with Sook and Jin Young

[Watching them in the pool, by the pool]
I was watching them.

They were playing in the water.

I told her to try swimming

and she told me that she doesn't know how.

[Frustrated]
So I was like "Look."

"Put your head underwater
and hold on to the edge."

"Hold on, keep your body straight, and relax."

"See? You're floating."

[The next step]
"Don't bend your knees."

[Surprised]
"Press down your thighs."

- "Like this."
- Theoretically, that's accurate.

- It's theoretically correct.
- "Like this."

"Keep your head underwater and don't come up."

- Wow!
- "Hold your breath."

[All the doubt is gone]
"Here, take this."

[and now they're absorbed in her swimming lesson]
"Swim forward."

And she did.

And then I told her how to breathe.

To breathe in like this
and then let it out like this.

[Breathe in, breathe out, repeat]

I told her to do that.

So she did.

So can she swim now?

[Either Eun yi or Jin Young is a genius]
She was like "Wow, this works!"

So she swam that day.

[Amazed]
And then

[Excited genius swimmer]
she was like "Come on in!"

[Unfortunate genius instructor]
I told her "I can't swim."

She thought that was weird.

I'm amazed by how detailed that was.

- I've taught a lot of people how to swim.
- Right.

- How do you know to keep the head down?
- Right?

You have to keep the head down.

If you put your head up
the bottom of your body sinks.

If you keep your head down
the bottom of your body floats.

That's what I always tell people.

You also have to press your thighs down.
People try to move their legs like this.

[The correct way]
But you have to move them like this.

If you keep doing this, you sink.

[Easier to understand when simulated with arms]
I see.

- You have to do this to float.
- Those are the most important key points.

She mentioned the two most important points.

By the way, Kyung Pyo told me a secret.

Kyung Pyo is pretty tall

but our shoulders align.

[Secret reveal: He has a long neck]
He has a long neck.

My neck is very long.

I didn't even know that he was tall.

It doesn't help that my posture is bad.

What surprised me earlier is
when I was in the elevator with MIMI

the elevator was small.

[He had to straighten his posture]
Because there wasn't enough space

I had to straighten my back

and I was like "Was MIMI always this short?"

- I felt it too. He's very tall.
- Right?

Kyung Pyo is about 180 centimeters.

[Kyung Pyo is 185cm tall]
Yes, I'm 185 centimeters.

- Right?
- Right?

[His shoulders align with 178cm-tall Jae Seok's?]
But his shoulders align with mine.

My neck is super long.

It's insane when you look at it from the side.

Can I show them?

[Neck-sliding]
From the side.

[Reveals the extra neck he's been hiding]

- It's like a circus!
- I hope people will still hire me as an actor.

- He has a lot of weird talents.
- A circus freak.

I hope this helps the views.

[Joins in the prayer]
Why? What's up?

I'm letting everything go.

I'm having so much fun to the point
where I'm worried about my acting career.

[Nonsense]

So I have to get views, at least. Please!

You see

- Kyung Pyo is serious about variety shows.
- He is.

[Serious]
It was my childhood dream.

Right?

Oh, and I also found out

[Next secret reveal]
about MIMI's secret.

- You know how her ears are pricking up?
- Oh.

- Like this.
- Like elf ears.

- Gen Z is obsessed with this.
- They're called elf ears.

It's slightly protruding.

But I found out that MIMI
has some sort of tape behind her ears.

[Tape behind her ears]
Ear tape.

See? Ear tape.

If you tape your ears like this
your ears stand up

making you look younger.

Your age goes down a little.

[Hahaha]

I have people breathing down my neck.

I asked her if it hurts

- and she said it does.
- It does hurt.

- It hurts a lot.
- It hurts if you keep it taped too long.

They give me a headache sometimes.

[Enduring headaches]

Sometimes.

- It's hard being an idol.
- It is!

- It is.
- I have to look young.

Who's breathing down your neck?

Young fellas. Younger idols.

- Idols in their twenties.
- Did they say something to you?

- Or are you just self-conscious?
- It's just me.

Twenty-something-year-olds
are breathing down her neck.

[MIMI was born in 1995]
My age is changing digits, so...

I'm getting desperate.

Don't worry. They could never catch up on you.

Because you'll always be older than them.

That's just the nail in the coffin.

[After "You look puffy"
they're exchanging truth bombs]

I'm trying

- and you're not helping.
- Also

[Speaking of age]
the international age has become the standard.

- We were talking about this earlier.
- It's confusing.

- It is, isn't it?
- It is.

So MIMI came up with a great new approach.

That's right.

How old are you?

Between 29 and 31.

[Summarizes international age
annual age, and Korean age]

- That's a great approach.
- Around that age.

I was like "That's it!"

About that many years old.

[You don't have to ask "in which age?"]
You don't have to ask if it's international age.

It's not necessary.

- Not at all.
- I know.

[I'm between 29 and 31]
Between 29 and 31.

[so you can take that however you'd like]
If you want to think of me as 31, you can.

- I'll think of myself as 29.
- That's exactly it.

I don't want people to ask me.

- I want them to make their own decisions.
- That's perfect.

- She's so smart.
- What did you say earlier?

[Applied MIMI-age]
Late twenties to early thirties.

I came up with that.

If you're in between
your late twenties and your early thirties

- you can say "late twenties to early thirties."
- Late twenties to early thirties.

That's what you say from now on.

After a few years
you can just say "early thirties."

As for us, we can say

[People born in 1972 and 1973 saying their age]
"I'm in my early fifties to mid-fifties."

Or we could just say

[Refer to EP.64]
"middle-aged old people."

[Or simply middle-aged old people]
Simply put, we're middle-aged old people.

Administrative officials would hate that.

It would be confusing for them.

- "So how old are you?"
- "Just tell me how old you are!"

[Please don't use this at a public office]
You can put whatever you want.

I'm in my late twenties to early thirties.

In a social situation, it's more than okay.

[In an administrative situation]
In an administrative situation...

[use your international age to be clear]
Be clear in an administrative situation.

When you're in a public office

- and it says to put your international age...
- You can't put late twenties to early thirties.

[Pinggyego]

- You have two older sisters.
- Yes, I'm the youngest.

[Seven and four years' difference]
Ever since I was a kid

[The youngest of three sisters]
they were in middle school and high school.

- The difference feels bigger when you're a kid.
- That's right.

Even just a one year difference feels big.

When you're a kid, yes.

Your sisters

should be proud that you're a famous idol.

Oh, I don't think they like to talk about it.

They just won't say it to you.

- They probably tell it to other people.
- That's right.

I'm not super close with my family

and they're not very expressive, so I didn't know

but turns out, they talk about me a lot.

Do they?

A lot!

[How she found out]
My brother

has been in a small company for years
and he's now an executive.

Whenever I go somewhere

people mention my brother.

So I asked them how they know who my brother is

and they told me that he talks about me a lot.

They said
"Mr. Song talks about you constantly!"

[Shy to say it to his sister]
He won't say it to me but...

[but shows his love for her to other people]
He does, of course.

They don't want you to know
but your sisters probably talk about you too.

[Real-life sisters]
If they do, I don't want to hear about it.

Is that so?

- Are you embarrassed?
- I would be, yes.

[Wondering]
Have you ever rapped in front of your family?

[MIMI: OH MY GIRL's main rapper]

That would be so humiliating.

- What did she say?
- She said it would be humiliating.

[Even the thought of it gives her goosebumps]

In front of your family

[Absolutely not]
haven't you ever been like "Yo, yo, yo"?

[Imagining]
I'd be eating with my family

and I'd be like "Yo! This is good, yo."

[Doubling]
Oh woo, sis. How are you doing, yo?

You've never done that?

- No, I haven't.
- You haven't.

MIMI hates to see herself perform.

[Disgusted]

- I just can't.
- We were together one time

when I was watching
a compilation video of her rapping.

[Disgusted]

- Oh, I just can't watch it.
- She can't.

Idols usually monitor themselves.
Is it different from that?

It is. And I especially can't see
videos of me when we first started.

Why not?

It's so embarrassing.

Is it because you feel like

- you weren't as good back then?
- Yes, it makes me more embarrassed.

I wasn't as good back then

and I can't watch myself act all cutesy like that.

- Right, MIMI!
- That's right.

- Right!
- That's right.

[Their debut song "CUPID"]
Your group's style was cute.

I can't stand myself trying to be cute like that.

- It's not her.
- It's not MIMI's style.

- To be honest.
- It's not like her at all.

- But that was the group's direction.
- That's right.

The truth is, I had a shaved side
when I was a trainee.

I shaved the side of my head.

You shaved your head.

Just the side. It was usually covered up

- but it was shaved underneath.
- That's so cool.

[She didn't know she would debut]
When I first started at WM

[with a different style from her own]
I had no idea I'd do a cute, girly thing.

I found out about this later on

but our CEO

thought that I looked
like JEONG EUNJI when I smiled

so they thought

- I fit the cute style.
- You'd fit.

I had no idea when I first got there.

That's why you had a shaved side.

I did.

So back then I was trying to smile

and be cute all the time.

- It was completely different from your style.
- It was different.

There was a gap between
you and your team's styles.

Well, it helped me debut, though.

- That's right.
- I'm grateful.

That must be a difficult part of being in a group.

- Everyone has their own style.
- That's right.

For example

I don't like wearing anything sleeveless.

Wearing sleeveless tops
makes me feel embarrassed.

- Does it?
- I'm embarrassed when I'm in one.

Why?

- My pits.
- Your pits?

- I don't want to show them.
- Your pits.

Why...

- Why are you blushing like you just did?
- Your face is red.

I'm embarrassed even thinking about it.

You're embarrassed.

Even your neck is turning red.

[Pinggyego]

MIMI, why did you want to become an idol?

I loved to dance ever since I was a kid.

I was always dancing

and one day my friend suggested
that I submit an audition video.

[A friend lit fire to the dream]
That was what started it all.

[of being an idol]
I started training at an academy

and then one thing led to another.

Kyung Pyo, did you always want to be an actor?

No, I actually wanted to go to college.

But I wasn't doing great at school

so I was looking for something
with a performance test instead.

And the thing I found

was acting, which I only needed my body for.

[A strange expression]
You only needed your body for it.

It's true, though. All you need
is your body in order to act.

The crazy thing is

back then, the practical test
accounted for 100 percent of my admission

[Konkuk University, Film Major, Class of 2009]
when I got into college.

When I was in college

everyone there was so passionate about acting

and that was so cool.

That inspired me

to devote myself to it more.

So I started taking it more seriously

and tried harder, which led me to where I am now.

Kyung Pyo has a lot of things going on.

[Kyung Pyo's activities in 2024]
He writes songs, sings...

[Founded film production company "FILMER"]
And you even founded a production company.

- That's right.
- I did. It's a film production company.

[Released a reimagined version]
Also, the LYn

[of "we were in love"]
cover song.

That's right.

Please don't do this

[Vibing]
I'm still in love with you

[Brings him a mic]
He's a great singer.

He is.

You already know

I call you every night crying

I'll stop there.

He did some busking as well.

I was going to stop you anyway.

[Great timing to stop the song]

- You're a good singer.
- He busked on the street.

And he has fun with friends.

He has a lot of fun with his friends.

I want to do everything I want to do before I die.

I think

I felt

a bit trapped for a while.

- Trapped how?
- Trapped how?

I was working all the time.
As I started getting big roles

my life was trapped in a routine.

So what I did was

play minor roles

and make cameos.

No matter how big or small the role was

I accepted even the supporting roles.

And as I got used to that

I wanted to try variety shows.

So I did Backpacker 2 and then I started singing.

Even though not all of those things

were a huge success in the end

what matters is that I tried and I felt things.

[He tried and that's what matters]
And those experiences nourished me

to move on and do other things, and I love that.

That's youth.

- Youth is good.
- That's your takeaway?

[Her summary of that story]
That's youth.

You're like Mrs. Pepper Pot from that old cartoon.

- Like a warm old lady.
- Youth!

Thinking of failure as nourishment

is something you can only do at this age.

There was a turning point
that led me to live this way.

What's that?

- Well...
- I want to hear

- what you have to say.
- The conversation's getting deep.

It's getting deep.

This might be too dark

but I served in the military a bit late.

When I had just left to serve
I heard about my mom's illness.

And then

she passed away after I finished.

And it got me thinking...

How do I put this?

Nothing matters.

Life is too short

and everything you've accomplished
is going to disappear when you die.

But I didn't want to

do nothing just because of that.

Rather than "do nothing because it won't matter"
I wanted to "just try because it won't matter."

I wanted to make up
for my mom's share of life too.

That was a turning point in my life.

Wow, Kyung Pyo.

That was too depressing.

Not at all.

I had no idea.

- Me neither.
- I really had no idea.

After hearing that

now I know why Kyung Pyo thinks the way he thinks

and lives the way he lives.

It's easy to become pessimistic
in that kind of situation.

That's true.

I would say that

after going through something

that you'd never wish to go through in life

what you make of it is important.

It's important

- to look at the positive side of life.
- That's right.

That's very admirable of him.

I told you, because we were shooting

I spent time with Kyung Pyo every week

- and I think you should live like Ko Kyung Pyo.
- I know.

I'm not just saying that.

Live like Ko Kyung Pyo!

That's right.

The other day

[On Sixth Sense: City Tour]
we had a guest on the show.

[Actor Ha Yoon Kyung came on as a guest]
Yoon Kyung.

She said her role model is Ko Kyung Pyo.

A few years ago

- she was in Itaewon with her friend
- Itaewon.

And her friend was like

"Isn't that Ko Kyung Pyo?"

and she said "No way. Ko Kyung Pyo wouldn't
just walk around in slides like that."

That's what Yoon Kyung said.

As if her friend was being ridiculous.

[You never see a star be that free]
"You're being ridiculous."

"What kind of actor
would go around dressed like that?"

You know what?

That's happened to me way too many times.

One time I was in Japan

and they have

these metal benches next to gardens

where you can sit.

[Kyung Pyo was sitting and resting]
I was sitting there and resting.

I'd been walking a lot.

And a mother and daughter were walking by.

[The mother recognized Kyung Pyo]
The mother said "Kyung Pyo! That's Ko Kyung Pyo!"

And I guess the daughter was in a rush.

She took a look at me and was like

"Mom, he's not!"

- I'm serious.
- Maybe she was exhausted from the heat.

As if it were preposterous.

So I was

sitting there with my friend, wondering

"Should I tell them that I am?"

I didn't want the mother to feel bad.

I would've went up and said that it is me
but my friend was like...

[Don't say anything]

My friend stopped me.

That friend was right.

And another time...

[There are still more stories left]
There's another one.

This one's even crazier.

You know how I'm free and I've also gained weight.

One morning after I had drunk
a lot the night before

I was on my way to get breakfast

and I didn't get to take a shower
so I had a dry patch on my face.

I was crossing the street
when some people were like

"Isn't that Ko Kyung Pyo?"

"No way."

"That's not him." And they passed me by.

My friend looked at me

and said "Dude, do something about
that dry patch. People recognize you."

And he gave me some lip balm to moisturize it.

So I got rid of it and arrived on the other side
of the road when someone was like

"Kyung Pyo!"

- Right away.
- They recognized me right away.

[Removing the dry patch had a powerful effect]
It was the dry patch!

People started recognizing me
right after I got rid of that dry patch.

My friends told me

- that I need to take better care of myself.
- That's true.

But when Kyung Pyo starts shooting something

- he changes drastically.
- That's right.

This June, it'll be a different me.

- Are you shooting something?
- Are you?

- Yes, I am.
- That's great.

My trip tomorrow is the beginning of the process.

Where are you going?

- I'm going to Japan for a while.
- He keeps leaving.

I'm going on a detox trip.

I'll be staying away
from people and from drinking.

Why do you need to detox on a trip?

[MBTI]
I'm actually an "I" type

so I'm kind of exhausted right now.

- You used up all your energy.
- I spent all of my energy.

I always need some alone time.

Are you going by yourself tomorrow?

- Yes, just me.
- Just you.

And I bought a one-way ticket.
I don't know when I'll be coming back.

Is that so?

Oh.

We're scheduled to shoot next week.

Yes, I'll be back before then.

- Right? I was wondering.
- I thought he was

- leaving for months.
- He wouldn't do something like that.

Don't worry.

We're shooting next week.

- I need to do my job.
- Don't worry

about him not coming back.

[Don't worry]
He's coming back.

I'm nothing if not responsible.

You know what was funny the other day?

Yoon Kyung was on the show
and was like "Wow, he's amazing."

When he fell asleep in the car
after we ate, she was like

"Wow, he's amazing."

[Everything her role model does is amazing]
"He's sleeping when the camera's still rolling?"

"That's amazing."

While he was asleep, he heard that. He was like

"I'm awake."

"I'm pretending to be asleep."

I didn't know that I'd fallen asleep.

- At one point I woke up and realized.
- It was when

we were driving for a long time.

- It was pretty long.
- That's when that happened.

And it was a cold day.

We'd just eaten and it was warm in the car.

I was exhausted when I got home last night.

- Of course you were.
- Of course.

For the first time...

First, I need to tell you that I never take naps.

- But I took a two-hour nap yesterday.
- You did?

When I got home it was about five.

I got home and I felt so tired.

I was home with Naeun.

[It was just him and Naeun at home]
It was me and Naeun.

And she kept saying "Dad, I'm bored."

I was like "Naeun."

[Out of energy]

- Dad! Dad!
- Why are kids always so bored?

"Naeun, today I'm...

too tired."

"Come on, let's take a nap."

[Naeun was forced to take a nap]
I'm serious.

She was whining that she was bored
but then eventually fell asleep with me.

We fell asleep together.

Then I was woken

by the sound of the door lock keypad.

"What's happening?"

And I heard "Naeun! Honey!"

Kyung Eun was like

"Honey!"

"Why weren't you picking up the phone?"

"Why? I took a nap."

"Why would you take a nap, all of the sudden?"

- She was surprised because you never do.
- I never take naps.

She called me and I didn't pick up

- She was worried.
- when it was just me and Naeun

- so she was worried.
- This had never happened before.

I looked at my phone

[Nine missed calls]
and there were nine missed calls.

She called you so many times.

I would've worried too.

That's why you should take naps.

So I took a two-hour nap from six to eight.

And then I went to bed at ten.

[Ten o'clock bedtime with no exceptions]
You have your routine.

- I need to keep my routine.
- You have to keep your routine.

Do you like to nap?

I take a lot of naps when I'm overseas.

I have a routine when I'm in another country.

The place that I'm staying

becomes like

the equivalent of my home there.

[Thinks of her hotel as home]
I'm territorial.

Like a cat.

It's like a temple stay.

Not a temple stay. What's it called?

A homestay.

[Correct]
A homestay.

It's okay, we understood.

It's like a homestay.

If I'm going out to eat
I don't stay out the whole day.

[After visiting one destination]
You don't leave in the morning

[she comes back to the hotel]
and come back at night.

I don't do that.

Your hotel should be where traffic is convenient.

I'm kind of the same way as MIMI.

I come back

- and rest before I leave again.
- You need a break.

[Team constant breaks at the hotel]
I need that.

- I'm the complete opposite.
- Really?

When I'm traveling

even if I have my suitcase with me

I have to do everything I set out to do that day.

[Does everything once he steps foot outside]
When you leave the hotel?

- Once I leave.
- You don't come back once you leave.

[Team out all day with no breaks]
I'm similar to Kyung Pyo.

For example, if check-in is at three

and I arrive at nine to ten in the morning

I need to do what I planned
even if that means I have to carry my bags.

I need to put my stuff down first.

Same!

I need to do that too.

Whether I get an early check in

- or leave my bags somewhere.
- That would be ideal.

When my feet hurt after walking all day

I check how many steps I got in and it's 30,000.

That makes me feel great.

[30,000 steps is around 21 kilometers]
Thirty thousand steps?

My feet hurt.

I thought you had heel pain.

Yes, inflamed Achilles' heels.

[Traded foot health for happiness]
My Achilles' heels were inflamed

so they gave me a huge cast.

I told them that I don't need it.

[Cast OUT]

I didn't know that was even a thing.

- She had an inflammation in her Achilles' heels.
- I had an inflammation.

They call it Achilles tendinitis.

[Saw something]
This is the first time I heard of it.

What's up with your socks?

Aren't they cute?

Are those Pilates socks?

- Those are Pilates socks.
- Yes, they are.

- For when you exercise.
- You're wearing toe socks.

Let me show you.

[Hi]
I thought

- that was your hand.
- I thought you had gloves on.

- I thought you were wearing a glove.
- Your toes are really long.

I have very long toes.

- Look at her pinky toe.
- Those could function as fingers.

I can't wear toe socks.

- Why? Do you feel uncomfortable?
- It feels uncomfortable.

Oh, I can't wear flip-flops either.

[Can't wear flip-flops for a similar reason]
The ones that separate my big toe.

They're uncomfortable.

They hurt.

They do hurt.

They hurt so much.

[He prefers regular slides]
So I prefer this kind.

[Flip-flops hurt]

Jae Seok...

[Keeping his hands like this for some reason]
you know?

Likes sports socks.

[Correct!]
Sports socks.

- Sports socks.
- Long ones.

- Not the short ones or middle ones.
- No, never.

- Long sports socks.
- The long ones.

- Long sports socks.
- Sports socks.

I don't like when this happens.

[He hates the gap]
This right here.

- That's right.
- I hate that.

And you can't wear flip-flops.

[Doesn't prefer them]
No flip-flops.

[Prefers them]
They need to cover the top of my feet.

[Keeps using his hands to help them understand]
They have to or else it hurts.

- You like to wear flip-flops, though.
- I do.

- I know.
- Flip-flops are comfortable.

- Flip-flops go well with shorts.
- I like them.

I noticed that Jae Seok
fundamentally doesn't like to expose his skin

below his neck.

Right?

He even wears long socks to cover his ankles.

- Hold on.
- He can't even stand that gap.

Is it because you're too pale?

I don't like this.

You really are pale!

[Two skin tones in one body]
You can see the veins.

- It's fair, isn't it?
- It is fair.

- My skin is fair.
- Like a baby's.

- It's like you're a newborn.
- That's right.

[Newborn]
So pale.

Like you were just born.

It's because he won't let it see the sunlight.

[Jae Seok's ankles
finally got to see the light today]

- I don't like to be tan.
- He doesn't like to be tan.

I just randomly remembered

when Jae Seok used to
go to the skin clinic regularly

- my cousin was working there.
- I know! What a small world.

My skincare specialist was Eun yi's cousin.

My younger cousin.

[Ready to do an impression of her cousin]
He's from Jeolla-do

and he said "He's so funny." So I asked why.

[The reason why]
When the specialists are doing the procedure

he's lying there like this.

[Sniff sniff]

And says "Nivea?"

[Randomly guesses the brand from sniffing]

Hey, come on.

[What was that reenactment for?]
You're making me sound like I'm some pervert.

[Doesn't care, keeps going]
"Your hand cream is from Nivea."

He says that.

[Crying]
So

when they ask "How did you know?"
he says "I can smell that it's Nivea."

I have a very sensitive nose.

[Please listen to me]
I do.

Let me explain. I'm sensitive to smells.

[Sure, he could smell it]
Sure, you could smell it

[but the point is that he guessed the brand]
but it's a funny situation.

[Dizzy]
It's just that

the skincare specialists

[They take constant care of their hands]
take good care of their hands.

- So I asked.
- When you were more comfortable with each other.

Her cousin didn't mention it to me at first.

[He found out after Eun yi told him]
Eun yi told me

"At the skincare clinic you go to."

"You know the specialist there?"

"Yes."

"He's my cousin."

"He is?"

[Shocked]

It's like an inversion of privacy.

[That was way too natural]
I know, right?

- You mean "invasion of privacy."
- I could tell

[The inversion of privacy story continues]
that he wasn't from Seoul.

[You can never suppress a sneeze or an accent]
He tries to hide his accent

but it shows.

I asked him later on
if it's true that he's Eun yi's cousin

and he started using his accent.

[Rubbing]
"Oh, did she mention it?"

[Gets comfortable, lets the accent loose]
"Did she?"

[Rubbing]
"I didn't say anything so it wouldn't be awkward."

[He was respecting his privacy]

Anyway, what a small world.

So small.

Who knew Eun yi's cousin would be there?

Have you ever experienced
something like that, MIMI?

Not really.

- What was your real name, MIMI?
- What was it?

[Real name: KIM MIHYUN, stage name: MIMI]
It's KIM MIHYUN.

- Right, MIHYUN.
- It's MIHYUN.

Did you choose the name MIMI?

[How she became MIMI]
No, my company chose it for me.

It's really simple.

"Your name is MIHYUN.
That starts with Mi. What about MIMI?"

That's how I got the name MIMI.

Before my debut

- the name was associated with that doll.
- Mimi!

[The popular girl doll]
That's right.

That was what came to mind first.

I'm supposed to be a rapper

so why would they name me MIMI?

[But now]
That's what I thought back then.

[The name MIMI is most associated with her]
But now I'm used to it.

- People are used to it.
- It's better than "rapper Kongsuni."

[Eun yi's strange attempt to offer comfort]

Wait.

Ms. Song, what's "rapper Kongsuni"?

[It's funny]
Come on.

[Rapper MIMI can't stop laughing]
Rapper Kongsuni?

[Positive MIMI]
Mine is way better than that.

But it's unique. I'd listen to Kongsuni rap.

[Rapper MIMI is intrigued]
It doesn't sound bad.

I want to hear what that would sound like.

Kids would go crazy for that.

I know, it's great.

[Anyway, that's the short story]
Anyway, that's how I got the name.

[behind the name MIMI]
It was simple and fast.

The trend is leaning toward real names now.

[A lot of idols debut with their real names now]
That's the recent trend.

It's kind of inconvenient
to have your real name as your stage name.

How come?

[When making a reservation or something]
Like when I'm booking an Airbnb.

[it attracts attention]
People know right away.

Thankfully

[Most people]
they're like "Hello, Mr. Ko Kyung Pyo."

[are nice about it]
They're nice about it

most of the time.

But I have to think twice

if I did anything wrong

or if I didn't forget to clean after myself.

I have to be more careful.

[He has to be more careful than others]
I know what you mean.

- Right.
- I get it.

I should've had a stage name.

What would you have chosen?

I wanted to be Jun. Ko Jun.

- Isn't there someone by that name?
- There is.

There is.

[Actor Ko Jun's real name is Kim Jun Ho]
But that's not his real name. It's a stage name.

- Is it?
- He changed his name.

I wanted to be Jun because I was born in June.

[Ko June]
Oh, June.

- Oh, June?
- June.

That's why it's more
convenient to have a stage name.

That's right.

[Pros of having a stage name]
When they're making reservations and such

[It separates the professional and private lives]
they can use their real names.

- That's right.
- In my case

when I'm on the phone

usually

[People don't know her real name, KIM MIHYUN]
people don't recognize me by my name

but they do by my voice.

[Hahaha]
Your voice would give it away.

We're talking and they're like

"Oh, is this MIMI?"

[Her voice is like a fingerprint]
So I'm like

"Yes, hello."

[Naturally wishes them a happy new year]
"Happy new year."

You should just use that voice.

[That might fool them]
The voice you used just now.

They still recognize me.
Even though I try to speak in a lower voice.

[Mocking]
"They still recognize me."

"They recognize me."

They do recognize me. They do.

I can't hide my identity.

- People recognize my voice too.
- Right.

- You're too famous.
- They recognize yours too, right?

- They do, yes.
- Right?

And my name is also unique.

[Song Eun yi]
It has three circles in it.

[She has one in each letter, three in total]
That's a lot for one name.

It's not a common name, Song Eun yi.

Oh, right.

That's why I like to play ball.

- Who does?
- I do.

- Because you have a lot of circles in your name?
- Yes.

I love any sport involving a ball.

[Her eyes lighten up talking about playing ball]
Playing ball.

- She likes to play tennis.
- I see.

[Eun yi's favorite ball games]
I like baseball too.

[Tennis, baseball, volleyball]
Right, you play baseball.

[basketball, playing catch, racket ball etc.]
Also volleyball and basketball.

[The pros of ball games]
When you're playing ball games with someone

the game is your common interest

so you don't really have to
talk about anything else, and I love that.

[After you've played together]
All you need to say is "Do you want to play?"

[you're already close]
and "Which position do you want?"

And you're polite to each other.

It's fun.

Sportsmanship.

That's so cool.

What do you like to do for exercise?

I've recently been learning ballet.

[She's not great yet but she likes it]
But I'm not good at it yet.

I heard that ballet is great for your posture.

[That's right]
It's great for fixing bow legs.

I'm kind of bow-legged.

- Are you? I never noticed.
- I am.

I'm always wearing something floppy.

[That's how Jeolla-do people say "baggy"]
Floppy.

[She's been using her outfits to cover it up]
I've been covering them up.

There's a way to fix that.

- What is it?
- It's really quick too.

- How do you do it?
- What is it?

I used to be super bow-legged.

There are these arch pads you put in your shoes.

Walk ten days with those in.

- They're immediately fixed.
- Really?

I'm two centimeters taller because of those.

- Are you serious?
- Really?

I was 182 centimeters before college.

But now I'm 185 centimeters.

Are you sure you didn't just grow?

[ESTJ]

I got taller during my military service.

I already have those.
I've been wearing them while shooting too.

It's been about 15 days.

- Are your legs the same?
- Yes.

Be patient.

Okay.

[It can't have the same effect]
It might not have

[on everyone]
the same immediate effect on everyone.

MIMI, you already have them?

I'm good at finding out about these things.

- Like the ear tape.
- MIMI

[Such as ear tapes and arch pads]
puts in a lot of effort.

[She finds out about things]

- I have to.
- I want to know.

[Makes you want to know MIMI's lifestyle]
Regarding lifestyles

what is your lifestyle like?

I always need a routine.

[Prefers having a regular routine]
When I get up in the morning

- I have to go to the gym first.
- You have to.

[Starts the day at the gym]
After that

[Breakfast if there's time]
if I have time, I have breakfast.

[Edits for her YouTube channel MIMPD]
And then I edit videos.

[Goes to the sauna in the evening]
Then I go to the sauna in the evening.

That's the basic structure.

She loves the sauna.

[Sauna]
I like going to the sauna or public bath.

The sauna is addictive.

[Never heard that before]
Is it?

After you sweat out

[The refreshing feeling]
and sit in the hot tub

[after sweating it out]
you come out and feel so refreshed.

It's so refreshing.

And there's another routine there, isn't it?

- First, you go in the hot tub.
- Hot tub, then cold plunge?

[You warm up in the hot tub]
After you've warmed up in there

[Then enter the dry sauna]
you go into the dry sauna.

That's right.

You sweat a lot in there.

[You wrap it up in the cold plunge pool]
When you come out, you go in the cold plunge pool.

[That reminded her of a story]
When Sook used to

[Story provided by Kim Sook]
go to saunas in Apgujeong

[Playing the role of Kim Sook]

Someone went like this. So she asked "Sorry?"

[Quietly]
Because it echoes in there.

[The person wanted to say something important]
It echoes in the public bath.

[Q. What is this person trying to say?]
She kept going like this.

[The actor playing Kim Sook is desperate to know]
"Sorry?"

"Hot tub three times, then cold plunge twice."

[Answer: Recommending the best routine]
That was what she was saying? I know that.

She said she couldn't stop
thinking about that lady.

She said it as if it were something important.

[As if it would be the end of the world
if she doesn't follow it]

She kept going "Sorry?"

She asked her back three times.

[Kyung Pyo loved that story]
That's hilarious.

She's a great storyteller.

[She's an amazing storyteller]
She is. Her stories have structure.

- I'm from Talk Box.
- Talk Box.

- I know you are.
- We're both Talk Boxers.

We Boxers are the great at talking.

[Kyung Pyo is still laughing]
Isn't that really funny?

- It's so funny.
- Imagine that situation.

All naked and embarrassed, and she can't hear.

That reminds me of a story.

[Impressed Talk Boxer throws in his hat]

This was a long time ago.
I went to the public bath and someone was like

"Oh, it's Yu Jae Seok!"

"Yes, hello."

"It's so nice to meet you! I'm a big fan."

"Can you get my back?"

[Shocked by his confidence]
"I'm sorry?"

[Thinking about it]

[Wait, no!]
He was so confident.

[Jae Seok felt like he should get him]
He confidently said "Can you get my back?"

So natural.

He asked me politely.

[Thought about it after being asked politely]
"Can you?"

It wasn't "Get my back," it was "Can you?"

So I said yes and then...

- Wait, you did?
- I did.

I got his back.

Like you went there with him.

It weirdly felt natural.

It would've been weirder if you didn't.

[I know, right?]
I know, it would be weirder.

Back in the day, people used to
ask the people around them.

But no one was ever that confident.

[Carefully]
If you're here by yourself

how about we get each other's backs?

[Back in the day, solo bath goers]
Back in the day, if you were there by yourself

[used to ask each other]
you would ask people

[to get each other's backs]
to get your back.

[Would you?]
"I'll get yours."

Each other's backs.

- It used to be like that.
- That's kind of nice.

[You can't see that nowadays]
Nobody probably does that anymore.

It's not the same now.

You would get a stranger's back

and tell them
I think you need to soak in the tub longer."

Then you could tell them...

[Three times in the hot tub, twice in the cold]

[Applies what he's learned right away]
Cold plunge, hot tub.

[Encore original]

[That's why she's a Talk Boxer
It doesn't get old]

It's fun to go there.

- You can find interesting characters.
- That's right.

And there are designated seats.

They have

these...

regulars.

[She's thinking about the regulars at hers]
Don't they usually have a silent battle going on?

They do, and also...

[MIMI keeps getting up today]
There's usually a raised spot here

[What the shower area usually looks like]
and people are sitting down.

- Like this.
- That's right.

But there are people who are always

[The regulars that MIMI sees]
standing like this.

Such a confident woman.

[The regular never sits down]
Never while she's there

[during the entire time she's there]
does she sit down.

That's impressive.

One foot is always up.

[Happy about the up and coming Talk Boxer]
That's funny.

- That's hilarious.
- That is funny.

- There are a lot of interesting people.
- That's true.

If she sees this, she'll start sitting down.

[Oh!]

She could come up and say "You talked about me."

[100 percent realistic
Jae Seok can see the future]

While she's taking a shower

she'd say "MIMI, you talked about me?"

"I got a lot of calls."

[A fantastic dribble by the Talk Boxer]
"I got a lot calls because of you, MIMI."

[Happy]

When you go to the public bath

- you meet a lot of interesting people.
- You do.

- Some people do push-ups there.
- That's true.

They have to do it there for some reason.

- Don't they do it in the tub?
- They do, in the tub.

In the tub?

[Usually by the tub]
When you're in the tub

- you sit on the edge.
- On the edge.

[A colorful reenactment by the public bath lover]
So they would go in the water, come back up

and do push-ups while looking in the mirror.

[Exhausted from laughing]
Public baths.

I should go back there soon
to get rid of the embarrassment I'm destined for.

[Wishing for Kyung Pyo
to clear all his embarrassment in 2025]

- Embarrassment.
- I should go to a big one.

[How this conversation started: MIMI's routine]
MIMI likes to go to the sauna.

- That's her routine.
- It is.

I always do.

If I can't go, I go to the shower at the gym.

I have a year pass to the gym
and all I do is shower every day.

- Is that so?
- Yes, I don't like to shower at home.

[She doesn't want to worry about]
It gets too humid in there.

[her shower getting too humid]
It gets humid at your place.

You can get that thing
that gets rid of the moisture.

[A squeegee]
Right.

[A rubber blade used to clean windows]
A squeegee?

[or floors]
Yes, a squeegee.

- When you use that to get rid of the moisture
- Right.

everything becomes dry, which is pretty fun.

[Her eyes are sparkling again]
Once you get rid of it.

- You like to clean.
- I do enjoy cleaning.

Yesterday

[Eun yi said on a cold, windy day]
the wind was really cold.

She said "It's great to open
your windows on a day like this

- and clean the house."
- And clean!

That's right. She did say that.

[She felt the cold wind]
"It feels great to open all your windows

[and thought of a deep cleaning]
and clean the entire house on a day like this."

When I do a deep cleaning

I like to wipe things down with alcohol.

With alcohol?

[Deeper than we thought]
After you clean everything with alcohol

everything's shiny, which is fun.

Kyung Pyo, how are you with cleaning?

Not great.

- You don't clean?
- Sometimes my friends

come to my place and clean it for me.

[Great friends]
Sounds like great friends.

They clean the place

steal clothes from my closet
and drink from my cupboard.

[The routine of a friend-gathering]
That's the routine.

[They work hard, steal clothes, and drink]
We have fun afterwards.

You're not married yet

- so of course, there's a crew.
- He's free.

Because I also live alone

sometimes my employee-slash-friends
raid the place.

- Do they?
- Yes.

They come over and drink.

- Because we often shoot there.
- That's right.

They like to stay after shooting and drink.

[This is when we realize]
She says it casually

[the power of CEO Song]
but the number of people who work for her

is about 40.

[OMG]
It's about 45 now.

[On top of her other various duties]
When you think about it

[she has to take care of CEO business]
it's not an easy job.

You have to do everything.

- You need to sign the papers.
- I do.

- You need to manage the company.
- I do.

You need to pay your employees.

Stop talking about it!

[Stressed out]

- Stop talking about it!
- She's tired!

We're having fun here!
Why would you bring that up?

[Just let me yap and have fun]

[Kyung Pyo is crying again]

- It's hard.
- It is hard.

[Finally calmed down]
It's not easy.

It's difficult.

[He can't even look at her face]
CEOs have a hard time.

It's not easy at all.

- You know what my employees said?
- What did they say?

They were like "Ms. Song
when are you going on Pinggyego again?"

I told them "When they want to have me again."

"Why do you ask?"

And they said "I think it would be good
for you to go on there often."

[Wondering]
Why is that?

"It helps our YouTube channel too."

[VIVO employees are all about their own company]

- That's right.
- Also

they only ever see me mad and stressed out

but they think I'm funny when I'm here.

- I get that.
- They don't get to see this side often.

- It's not the CEO they know.
- Just chatting and having fun.

They find it entertaining.

This is the side of Eun yi that I've always known.

We're always doing this.

[Their job is to chat]
This is our job.

But now

for her employees

it can feel different.

- Because she's the CEO.
- Are you...

Are you usually

- what is it? Strict?
- Strict.

- Right, are you strict?
- That's right.

No, I don't think that I am.

- I always want them to feel comfortable around me
- But it's not easy.

but I understand
that it's not as easy as it sounds.

[Ms. Song understands her employees]
It's inevitable.

I do joke around a lot

but they're always like

"Okay."

[Gyewons that have bosses, do you relate?]

The most awkward thing
is when you're in an elevator.

[Desperate to find a small talk subject]
I need to make a small talk.

If I try to show that I care

[Small talk attempt]
and say "You changed your hair color"

They're like "Yeah."

That's how they answer.

And they just get off on their floor.

They're like "See you."

[Small talk over]

- The conversation can't get deeper.
- What can you do?

"Your changed your hair color."

What do you say after that?

["You changed your hair color" "Yeah"]
"It looks good on you."

[Try to keep it going by saying it looks good]
There's nothing to say.

- You say it looks good.
- That's right.

You can't say that it doesn't look good.

[An example of small talk]
"You got a haircut!"

"You looked better with longer hair."

That's the worst.

The worst.

They'd quit right away.

"Well, that ruined my morning."

[Small talk over, communication over]

[One more VIVO story]
I'm usually alone on the sixth floor

and when I'm working by myself

- I sometimes skip lunch.
- Right.

So I tell

the older employees
that have been around for a while.

"Come get me for lunch!"

[The sixth floor worker also wants lunch]

- That's nice.
- Why is this so sad?

I feel bad for you, Ms. Song.

But I understand

[Because of her busy schedule]
because I'm not there all the time

[they're not always aware of her whereabouts]
so they'd come up and there would be no one.

So I always have to tell them.

"I'm here today, so bring me with you for lunch!"

- "Come get me."
- "Come get me."

What an amazing boss.

- Your attitude as a boss is amazing.
- It is.

They try to get me

- but I'm not always there.
- That's right.

It's better for me to tell them when I am.

It is better.

It's better than feeling upset

- and pretending like it's okay.
- That's right.

[Upset? Pretending like it's okay?]
Saying "I'm okay eating by myself"

[Hahaha]
and then one day

getting drunk at a team dinner

and saying "You can't do that to me!"

[Exploding]

[Q. Who is pretending to laugh here?]

Listen, everyone.

[Wondering if she should say it]
She's not like that.

I'm over that phase!

[She already had that phase]

I was upset!

- I think it's perfectly fine to be upset.
- I was!

- There's a good reason to be.
- All right.

You still get upset

- when you're old, people.
- Listen to me.

Okay, everyone?

[A story about being upset]
I know that they want to leave early.

But sometimes when I'm working

I'm the only one left in the office.

But it's not like I want them
to individually say good night to me.

- That's weird.
- You can't tell them to do that.

That's not what I want.

[She knows it's natural]
They leave when they're done for the day.

[but she still feels sad to be left alone]
I was still upset because of that

but then I thought about it
and realized that's actually the right thing.

So now I leave ten minutes earlier.

[How VIVO CEO Song overcame being upset]

[Leaving ten minutes before everyone]

- Isn't that just because you want to?
- You...

like to get revenge on your employees.

- But is that revenge
- She's not very cool about it.

noticeable to the employees?

- No, it's not.
- Nobody probably knows.

[The CEO's secret revenge]
You should come on Pinggyego more often

- and talk about these things.
- They don't care.

[Hahaha]
This is how you communicate.

We're like a bridge between
the VIVO CEO and the employees.

It's a great channel.

- We're the bridge of VIVO.
- If I said these things directly...

That would be too much pressure.

[She can't always be honest to busy people]
What would that look like?

- I know.
- Everyone's busy.

They'd be like "Why is she talking about that?"

But I can come here

and mention it

half-jokingly.

Half-jokingly.

- Half-jokingly.
- That's right.

[The key to not feeling upset anymore]
Half-joking, half-serious.

"Half-serious" was a tiny bit longer, yeah?

I didn't think you'd notice.

- Come on!
- Half-joking, half-serious.

I wanted to get it off my chest since it came up.

[A drop of "joking"]
Half-joking

[in a spoonful of "serious"]
half-serious.

Your employees probably know already.

The higher your status

the bigger the responsibility

and the loneliness.

- I'm mostly grateful.
- Of course.

Especially when the senior employees are nice

- I'm grateful.
- Of course.

[Pinggyego]

[Friends talk about working all the time]
My friends and I talk about this a lot.

When you're working

and you're stressed about it

my friends and I

- have a magic phrase.
- What is it?

"You're doing your job."

Then it's suddenly okay.

You're getting paid to do your job.

Take responsibility.

Wait, Kyung Pyo. Why the hand?

- I don't know. My friend does this.
- Money.

This represents money.

[Gets it now]
Like this?

Oh, this.

- You're doing your job.
- You're doing your job.

That makes sense, though.

When my friend told me that

I had a deep realization.

Right, I'm doing my job.

[The magic phrase drags you back into reality]
It makes me calm down

and reminds myself to focus on my work.

No matter what kind of field you're in
you need to do your job.

Of course, you do.

- You need to do your job first, then complain.
- That's right.

Not doing your job

- and just complaining
- Right.

- is unacceptable in any field.
- That's true.

[You're doing your job]
MIMI, are you doing your job?

I'm doing my job.

[Self-hypnotizing to do better]
You need to get it together.

MIMI did a great job today.

- MIMI did a great job today.
- MIMI had a great stand-up act today.

Talking about day-to-day stuff
like this isn't my strong suit.

- Why, it's great.
- You're great.

You're great at it!

- I'm a natural listener.
- Are you?

I'm more of a listener.

So I'm always nervous in a situation like this.

[The professional talkers approve MIMI]
Is that so?

I wouldn't have guessed

- that that's how you feel.
- I wouldn't have guessed either.

You're a born talker!

- Am I?
- Of course, you are.

- I'm a talker, okay.
- Your stand-up act was great.

[All right]
The Millennium Talk Boxer

[Then encore!]
approves of you.

She knows the drill! She's doing an encore.

If you were on Talk Box, you'd win.

[The Talk Boxers approve]
Starting with Kyung Pyo

[these young talkers]
you guys are both winners.

I always do when I'm talking with people

but I learned a lot today.

[MIMI's way of saying your age]
Like the way MIMI talks about age.

That's right.

It's hard to identify your age these days.

That was a great tip.

- I'm glad I could help.
- It was very helpful.

And Kyung Pyo's way of thinking too.

[No doubt]
That's right.

You only have one life.

- Do whatever you want.
- That's right.

That's healthy.

Do you want to live a long life?

I don't really think about that.
I'll go when it's time.

Why did you just ask him that?

Because I want to live a long life.

How long do you want to live?

As long as possible.

Because technology is getting better and better.

All the scientists are researching new medicine.

- Exactly.
- Right, it's getting better year by year.

I know.

Everyone's going to live to be 100.

[Jae Seok's current issues magazine]
People are talking about

quantum computers nowadays.

[They process data with quantum mechanics]
The computing speed

[and solves complicated problems]
and everything is way faster

[way faster than existing computers]
than regular computers.

[Having a current events lesson]
So the development of new medicine

will be way faster with quantum computers.

Because they calculate the possible outcomes

of different experiments in a much shorter time.

This is the stuff we hear about
whenever we're on Sixth Sense.

- But it's so interesting.
- It makes me smarter.

It's like he's been locked up for a while.

He just can't stop talking.

I don't need to watch the news.

- I just listen to him.
- Yesterday

[During the Sixth Sense: City Tour shooting]
when we were in the car

- we were talking as always.
- That's right.

We were talking about this and that on our way

and Eun yi said to me after hearing me talk

"Were you locked up for a while?"

[The talker doesn't stop talking]

Listen.

I felt like everyone was tired

and wasn't paying attention

but he just wouldn't stop talking.

- Starting with the Super Bowl.
- The Super Bowl.

And economics.

Swiftonomics.

It's so helpful.

- It's not the Super "Ball."
- Right.

It's "Bowl."

- It's "Bowl."
- It's "Bowl."

He knows everything.

And he told us about why there's a half-time show.

- He explained it to us.
- I did explain that.

[His students would gladly retake the class]
And it's all so interesting.

You could put on a robe
and become a storytelling old man.

You could.

You should do that.

What's cool is

- that he knows everything.
- I should do that.

[Storytelling old man / Storytelling old lady]
You could be the storytelling old lady.

[Forms a storytelling middle-aged old people duo]
Oh, I'm the old lady?

We can bounce off of each other's stories.

We can throw in "That's right!"

- And keep it going.
- That sounds great.

We'll never stop talking.

[Pinggyego]

It's better than getting together

- and just looking at our phones.
- Of course!

This is what people are supposed to do.

- You're right.
- Look into each other's eyes and talk.

We should talk to each other face-to-face.

I see that sometimes.

One time I was at a coffee shop

and there was a table with four people
and they were all staring at their phones.

I saw something on social media.

[Shoot]
Oh, I saw this on my phone too.

[What she saw on social media]
Someone was in for a parent-teacher meeting.

They were like "Is something wrong with my kid?"

And the teacher said
"They drew this when asked to draw their parents."

[A black rectangle in place of their face]
They drew the parent's face as a black rectangle.

Oh my god.

And when the parents put their phone up

[They look exactly like the drawing of them]
it looked exactly like the drawing.

Wow, that's so sad.

We get all our information

from these "smart" phones

but they're the things
that are making us not smart.

[The duality of the smartphone]
We miss a lot of

what's really important.

But people will watch this on their phones too.

- Put your phone down once you finish this!
- I know, so...

[Gyewons, don't put it down just yet!]
After you finish watching this.

You have to still watch this.

- MIHYUN.
- You have to watch Pinggyego.

Only MIHYUN can do this.

- Finish this, and then put it down.
- Put it down.

That's why recently

[Text-hip: The younger generation]
people started writing

[is starting to think]
or actually

[of text-based activities]
reading books

[as trendy and hip]
more than before.

As we get used to smartphones

- our literacy
- That's right.

[There are articles about decline in literacy]
keeps dropping.

Smartphones did improve our lives drastically

but they also made us miss

and lose a lot of important things.

It's scary.

We can't end on a scary note.

We have to end on a happy note.

- Let's end on a happy note.
- Right, we have to.

[The storytelling old lady]
You know, I say that

[does her job by changing the topic smoothly]
I shouldn't look at my phone before bed.

But I keep

looking at videos of cats and dogs before bed.

So I can fall asleep happily.

[You can't give up cute videos]
You can't let go of social media.

I keep watching them before bed.

I love cats.

[She's a cat mom]
Cats are adorable.

What do you watch right before bed?

I play games. I've been playing console games.

- Console games.
- Console games.

I put my Nintendo screen on my phone holder.

You play games.

And I play games
with the controllers until I fall asleep.

What do you do before bed, MIMI?

I put on a YouTube video
and watch it until I fall asleep.

What kind of videos do you put on?

- Am I allowed to say it?
- Sure.

Political ones.

- That's unexpected.
- Okay.

MIMI has an unexpected side to her.

Got it.

[Hahaha]

- I need to stay informed.
- That's right.

It's true, you need to
pay attention to those things.

[Being concerned with what's going on is a must]
Of course, you do.

- To current events.
- You can't be ignorant.

I watch mukbang videos before bed.

Oh, you do?

- I watch a few mukbangs before I fall asleep.
- That's so surprising!

[The dessert mukbang YouTuber gets her hopes up]
Who's your favorite mukbang YouTuber?

There are a lot of good ones

- but Tzuyang.
- Tzuyang.

Also Manli.

[A little disappointed / Intrigued]
I watch her videos

and a lot of others.

You should watch mine.

- I do them too.
- You do?

I have mukbangs.

[Usually desserts and sweets]
Go to my channel, MIMPD.

- I do mukbang ASMR videos.
- I'll check them out.

[She's a known chocoholic]
I usually eat sweets.

- I'll check them out.
- Only sweets.

When you watch mukbang videos

how can you resist your cravings?

I can't, so I don't watch them.

Same here.

When I see someone eat something, I need to know

what that tastes like

- and if it's something I know, I crave it more.
- Exactly.

[She avoids them because it gives her an appetite]
Is that so?

It makes me crave food so I avoid watching them.

But a lot of people relieve their cravings
through mukbangs when they're on a diet.

- They do.
- They get a sense of satisfaction from them.

[These two can't relate]
I can't do that.

Same, it makes me want to eat.

I do too.

- I watch a lot of ramen mukbangs.
- Noodles.

Noodles.

And I think
"I should have that tomorrow for breakfast."

That's a healthy way to think about it.

- A good thought process.
- "I'm having that in the morning" then go to bed.

I don't watch mukbang videos every day.

I watch a lot of different stuff.

[Admires / Admires too]
Current events and culture.

Current events and culture.

You know so much.

A lot of history as well.

- History.
- But you don't really brag about it.

That's what's makes it cool.

- That's right.
- If you have that knowledge, you could flaunt it.

- I don't have that much knowledge, that's why.
- I see.

- If I did, I would flaunt it.
- Because he's with us

- he thinks he can flaunt it a little.
- I don't know that much.

If I did, I'd flaunt it.

[Storytelling old man / Storytelling old lady]
