Original subtitles

[22-second preview] Balenciaga, Saint Laurent.

- Hey, this is Balenciaga. - Yeah.

But where do you wear something like this to?

I'm not great at pulling it off either.

When I smile, the glasses move up too.

He seems really good at investing, right?

It's really bad.

It's a total mess.

So, when he profits, he takes like 10 percent.

- Just this much. - Pretty humble.

That's really humble.

He takes this much and...

[Congrats! Escaped the tiny room Today, we're out on a chat trip]

[At Dong Hwi's sunny home]

[Let's wrap up the year with a warm year-end talk]

[Pinggyego!]

[This video includes paid promotion for Olhgok]

All our dear Gyewon, right now.

[Somewhere inside an elevator Greeting you from an unfamiliar space]

We got invited.

- Pinggyego on a business trip! - Dong Hwi!

We're on Pinggyego's business trip...

Is that a new thing? Pinggyego's business trip?

- No, it's not new. - Since when has it been around?

[First business trip to Chang Hee's place] If they...

So if someone calls you, you go?

Yes, if they call me, I go. Pinggyego's business trip.

Can I call you too when I'm cleaning my house?

That's not how it works!

Oh, it's not?

[Sassy] I don't clean or anything like that.

- Then what do you do? - I just talk. Only talk.

[Only chatting's possible]

Still, if you're coming all the way...

[Not letting it go] Maybe cook a meal or something...

[He just looks like free labor] Quiet.

[Arriving at Dong Hwi's place while joking around]

Oh, wait, he already left his door open.

[Rushing inside] Oh my.

[Glad to see you] Oh, Dong Hwi!

Bro!

[Welcome]

[Polite]

Hey Dong Hwi, thanks so much!

- Not at all. - They're already here.

[Spotted the staff who arrived early]

Thanks for what? Hey, Dong Hwi.

Of course we should thank him. Dong Hwi invited us to his home.

[Outfit scan] Why are you so dressed up?

Wow, perfectly styled.

Brother.

[See Visiting Silbizip EP.2] When Chang Hee came over

[Natural morning vibe] I literally just washed my face and filmed.

- Since you guys were coming, I went to a salon... - Really?

- You even went to a salon? - Of course.

[Endless praise for dressed-up Dong Hwi] You look great.

Did you even lose weight because we were coming?

Wow, look at this view. The view.

[Such a beautiful view] Take a look around first.

[An amazing view that steals attention] This is incredible.

- [Jae Seok] Your single life...! - Did you turn on the air conditioner?

Is it normally this cool?

Yeah, if you open the windows the breeze comes in really well.

[A prime spot full of Namsan energy] You basically absorbed Namsan...

All of Namsan's energy.

This is incredible.

You're from Class Namsan, right?

[Gyeju, Seoul Institute of the Arts, Class Namsan] I was in Class Namsan.

- Even though I didn't graduate. - Arts school.

[Dong Hwi gets sensitive about graduation Union is an excuse, EP.25]

Seoul Institute of the Arts located in Yejang-dong

[Sneaking in]

You're not one of us.

You're not from Seoul Institute of the Arts.

What! I can still do it.

What are you saying?

Division commander, hahaha.

I'm Korean too.

I talked with Dong Hwi on the phone yesterday.

- He said he cleaned for almost a whole week. - That's right.

[Deep cleaning for the commander] Like welcoming a division commander at a base.

He even left a message in the group chat.

Like preparing for the visit of a commander!

- Division Commander Jee Seok Jin. - All right. Are you well prepared?

[Ping] Yes, sir!

[Pong] Very well!

Hey, the fall colors are at their peak right now.

- Right. - Namsan.

Can you see it?

- You can't see it? - You just see the colors, right?

- Over there, the yellow... - Huh? You can't see it?

- Hey...! - Bro...

- I... - Your eyes...

Hahaha.

[Trying hard to stay calm] I can see it!

[Teasing] You totally didn't see it.

Come on, of course he can see it. Hahaha.

Hey.

[Crying] Isn't it weird to even think

- that I can't see that? - But hey.

- You're so ridiculous. How can I not see that? - Why can't you see it?

Am I an idiot?

[Seok Sam is not an idiot]

- What a way to start the morning. - No, listen.

- I mean! - Why can't you see that?

[Listen] I just don't vibe with that kind of aesthetic.

[Crying / Everyone saying what they want] I almost burst into tears just now.

I can see it!

[Sobbing] How can anyone not see that?

I went to Chuncheon recently

and took the cable car. Right next to it, the fall colors were exploding.

[At peak foliage] It was literally bursting...

And?

I realized I don't feel anything.

- Why? - Looking at fall colors.

It's just a forest. Just a forest.

Fall colors don't automatically make it more beautiful or anything.

You're just talking nonsense

- because you can't see it. - Hey!

[Frustrated] How can you not see it?

This isn't about filming right now.

[Appealing to the staff] How can you not see that?

- Go to the hospital as soon as we're done. - Sorry.

- I wasn't talking down to you guys... - His eyes in the morning...

[Pinggyego!]

- Dong Hwi, did you eat breakfast? - Yeah.

But I'm kind of hungry again.

And actually, we got some help today.

[Olhgok 100% Korean Granola, Peanut Butter] Olhgok Peanut Crunch Granola.

- I love granola. - I eat granola all the time.

- Oh, this is smooth peanut butter. - You dip it?

It's amazing when you eat them together.

[A generous amount of smooth peanut butter] I really love stuff like this.

Same here.

[Big bite] I eat granola a lot.

It kind of feels like a croissant crisp.

- Mmm. - You spread it on?

Wow, this is really good!

Since the granola pieces are big it's so easy to eat. Perfect for spreading.

- Wow. - Break it up.

But these days...

You don't have to worry about sugar here, right?

[Low sugar] No worries at all.

And since it's 100% Korean peanuts it's even richer and tastier.

I like that it's not sweet.

Wow, this is really good.

These days, I actually

prefer this over regular peanut butter.

[Gyeju goes for unsweetened peanut butter] I go for no sugar.

- Right, low sugar. - I eat it for real.

- And it tastes better. - Exactly.

It's been ages for me.

Of course, you've been around for ages. You were born in 1966.

[Certified teasing master]

What?

What?

You wanna die?

[Choking from laughter] What?

You've been around longer than me.

- That's not what I meant. - I was born in 1972, you in 1966.

No, I meant I've been eating sugar-free peanut butter for ages.

Really?

Yeah, since you support a different Party anyway.

[Chaotic Party]

[Happy]

Sorry, but at my place we try not to talk about politics.

[Oops] Ah, sorry.

- We don't talk politics at home. - He just likes it a lot.

- He loves politics. - That's not it.

[Signing up is just an excuse, EP. 54] In Pinggyego clips

[Promo is just an excuse, EP. 79] politics comes up a lot for some reason.

Anyway.

[Perfect as a light snack] This is really great as a simple snack.

So good, seriously.

- Especially when you're on a diet. - Right.

Eat something healthy like this.

It's pretty filling too.

[Reading the ingredients closely] So filling.

Oh, it's oats.

Oats are oatmeal, right?

[Quick info / Oatmeal is a processed form of oats]

- It's oatmeal. - Right, right.

You didn't know?

[Staff] I never really thought of it as oatmeal.

Oatmeal is oats.

Hey!

Eun Jin went to Korea University.

I mean, she didn't know, right?

[She still graduated from Korea University] She went to Korea University.

Can't a Korea University student learn from an Ajou University student?

No, that's not what I mean.

I went to Ajou University!

Why are you taking it like that?

"I went to Ajou University." Hahaha.

Ajou.

- He majored in Business Administration at Ajou. - Business Administration.

You graduated, right?

Yeah, I graduated after one extra semester.

Dong Hwi is kind of sensitive about that.

[Dong Hwi is strict about graduation for a reason] Well, actually...

Did you graduate from the arts school?

I did graduate.

Well, he didn't...

- Oh, dear. - Sadly...

Sadly.

[Gets it right away]

- That's the one thing - Sadly.

he looks down on me for.

No, no. I don't look down on you.

[Yum] Not at all.

Seeing you eat this well is honestly rare.

I really like stuff like this. I just don't get to eat it often.

I'll keep it stocked. Every time we meet...

- Oh, really? - Yeah.

No, it's fine. We can eat other stuff too.

Don't give me this at a restaurant while you guys have stew.

[Shutting down the jokes]

Take a look at this.

Huh?

[Best Award from last year's Pinggyego Awards] This is last year's Best Award.

- Best Award. - Pinggyego.

Ohhh.

This is the only trophy I proudly display outside.

[Proud host] Really, you keep it out?

Of course.

- Wow, that was already last December. - Exactly.

[Almost a year ago] It's almost been a year already.

We are doing the awards again this year.

[How is this real] This is already the third one.

[Third Pinggyego Awards already] It's December 13th, right?

Yeah, December 13th.

Already the third time?

[As of the filming date] Actually, right now

[Preparing for the awards] we are hosting the awards again.

[a.k.a. the tiny room] Since we do it at the Antenna Plus office

[Too cramped for honored guests] it has gotten pretty cramped.

[A rather small venue] Even though we broke that wall.

So are we moving to another place?

- No, we're doing it there again this year. - I'm against moving.

[Relieved] Yeah.

I like it that way.

If you move it, it doesn't feel like the Pinggyego Awards anymore.

But still

when the office lease ends

- we'll have to move eventually. - No other way, then.

[Shocked] It's leased?

[Quick info] It's leased, of course.

[The Antenna Plus office is a monthly rental]

Just buy it yourself.

The building owner lives there.

- Really? - The owner lives upstairs.

[Crying all day today] The owner lives there.

Oh, it's a home.

Renew it then, will they raise the rent?

[Confused landlord] I don't know.

Step in and help sort it out.

If you talk to me, I can kind of... do something.

[Do what, exactly...?] What can you do...

- Just meet up and... hehe. - And do what?

If it works, it works. Whatever.

[Overconfident Discount Jee] Try negotiating a bit.

[By artist Takashi Murakami] But this right here.

[Spotted a famous artwork] You hung a famous artist's piece right there.

[Management Company ON] Our agency CEO

Lee Je Hoon gave it to me

- For real? - as a gift.

Je Hoon is the agency CEO.

[Whispering] Is it authentic?

- Of course it is, but it's kind of... - Like a print? A print?

Yeah, it's like a print.

Wait, the signature? Oh, it's here.

What were you trying to check? Haha.

[Authentic Masterpieces vibe suddenly] Were you about to say, "There's no signature"?

[Admiring after checking]

It feels good. It's smiling.

You're seriously getting younger and younger.

Come on, don't say that. Everyone knows it already.

Everyone knows? Hahaha.

But listen.

[A sudden suggestion] I think you should actually go the opposite way

a more mature vibe.

[Strong agreement] Yeah, that's exactly it. Go reverse.

[Move away from the youthful vibe] Why are you so stuck on looking young?

Exactly.

[CEO of NVIDIA] Like Jensen Huang, you know.

Jensen Huang, hahaha.

Like Jensen Huang?

[Seok Sam Jee with a bold gray transformation?] Seok Sam Jee.

Seok Sam Jee.

[Recommending full white hair] Going fully white

would look really cool.

White... Hey, so I'd have to dye it then?

He's so easily influenced.

If a few people around him say "Just stop dyeing it black"

- he might actually listen. - Totally.

No.

Try bleaching it white once.

Yeah, that's worth considering.

If you bleach it, your hair will all fall out.

[Tearing up] Why would it fall out?

Because your hair is weak right now. Haha.

Hey, why would my hair fall out?

[Hit right where it hurts] If the hair's weak, it can fall out.

[Teasing] You gotta be careful.

After growing my hair out I realized I don't actually have little hair.

Not little, but not a lot either.

Hahahaha.

[Anger explodes] Hey! I've got more hair than you!

- Hey! - What?

[I'm so happy when you get mad] Seriously...

[Happy too]

- I filmed with him yesterday too. - Look at us being silly at Dong Hwi's place.

There was a guest there.

He suddenly asked them to guess his age.

[Seok Jin] How old do I look?

And the guest said

[Guest] Maybe you were born around 1966?

[Seok Jin] What?

- They got it exactly right. - I felt terrible.

[Scratch on youthful pride] He asked them to guess his age.

- They really didn't know? - They just guessed it right.

No way. I think they looked it up beforehand.

Come on.

[Denial of reality] There's no way I look like I was born in 1966.

So how old is someone born in 1966 now?

- 59. - [Exaggerating] 61.

[Angry early '66 liner]

What?

[Trying to shave off a year VS] 61 makes no sense.

[Trying to count every single drop of age] If you were born in 1966, you're 61.

59.

- International age? - How is it 59?

59...

[Harmless cotton-ball punches]

Bro.

My same-age friends are gonna come at you.

Why would they?

[Hmph] We '72 liners won't stay quiet either.

Then you're a young sixty...

I said fifty.

[446 hours 49 minutes 56 seconds] I've still got time left, punk.

[How long since moving into this place?] How long has it been since you moved here?

About three years now.

- Wow, three years already? - Already?

About three years.

Doesn't feel that long.

Time flies like that.

[What they're seeing] Was the window always like that?

Or did you change it?

- It was always like this. - It was?

I live with cats now

so I wanted to get lots of sunlight.

I left this side open like this.

Then you didn't put curtains here?

Only in the bedroom.

I love lying in the living room

watching OTT and stuff.

[But if there are no curtains?] Without curtains, you wouldn't be able to do that.

I watch in the bedroom.

- In the bedroom? - There's a TV there too.

But I noticed, when it's too bright you don't really go over there either.

[Bingo!]

I barely use that area.

[The cats take over the sunny living room] The cats

- basically own it. - Yeah, it's too bright.

[The butler Dong Hwi avoids the sun] I move around to avoid the sun.

Well, just like you said.

- You can see Namsan right in front of you. - That's nice.

This neighborhood is really pretty.

And the moment redevelopment starts here

- this apartment will hit its absolute peak. - Hold on.

What?

Just wait a little.

- No way this area doesn't get redeveloped. - No, no.

Whenever you talk about land or real estate it never turns out to be good news.

[Do the opposite of what he says on real estate] It goes the opposite of what you say.

[Signing up is just an excuse, EP. 54] No, it has to be redeveloped.

But the thing is, a lot of places he talks about actually do end up like that.

- I know everything. - The problem is

he's never actually invested in any of those places.

[Sad] I've never invested.

That's the problem.

[Sad but funny] You can feel it.

[It smells like redevelopment] If you invest around here now

when everything over there gets redeveloped

- it all goes up together. - Thank you.

- What does it matter though... - What's the point of knowing?

[Any Gyewon who invests can relate] Everyone knows.

- What's the point of knowing... - You don't actually do it.

Do you cook at home at all?

[Cooking nope] I mostly order delivery.

[Spotted something new in the kitchen] That's a weird machine. What's that?

[Dong Hwi] That's a cat feeder.

- The cats jump up there to eat? - [Dong Hwi] Yeah, they jump.

[Concern] Isn't that

making things too hard for them?

[Placed up high] They have to jump all the way up just to eat.

Well, hehe.

- They might hate you for that. - Bro.

[Zero prejudice] Like, our owner is too much.

- But bro. - Think about it.

You and the cats aren't the same.

You jumping up there and a cat jumping up there...

- Look at this. - It's hard for you, not for the cat.

[Do they climb step by step?] Do they go chair, then here

then here, then there? Or...

No, they just jump straight up.

[AI-generated footage] They fly up from down there?

[Probably like this...] They jump straight up.

They're cats.

Cats like that kind of thing.

[Putting it high is actually better] That's why you should set it up like this.

[Cat-friendly setup] So where are the cats now?

- In case you guys have allergies. - It's fine.

[They're resting in the room] I just put them in there.

- Maybe say hi when you're leaving... - Yeah, we should see them.

- How many people are there right now? - Two.

- Two? - "How many people"...

[Oops]

[LOL] You're personifying them?

I think of them as people too.

[Cats are basically people] Pretty much like people.

At this point, they're basically people.

If you give them pocket money, do they take it?

Who?

- Them? - Then Dong Hwi will take it.

"Thank you."

"Please give me a little more." "Just 50,000 won more, please."

Usually, the owners take it.

Yeah, that's right.

What do you usually do around this time, Dong Hwi?

[Morning person] Around this time, I'm usually up already.

Whoa, you're awake?

I wake up at six, take a bath...

[Same routine as ever] Do my morning chores, then...

[2.5 hours of housework cat hair cleanup, laundry and drying]

What time is it now?

It's 9:25.

By 9:25, I'm dozing off.

[Morning chores drained the battery] You're done with everything?

So you fall back asleep.

When you wake up in the morning

and take a bath, you sweat a lot first

then your body gets all relaxed, right?

[Come to think of it, Dong Hwi looks slimmer] But your face really...

- He got slimmer. - Totally.

While I was doing the play "Another's Life" I lost quite a bit of weight back then.

That's when I started the taking baths.

- Baths are really good. - Oh, yeah?

Because the puffiness goes way down.

A lot of people do baths in the morning.

[Highly recommended] I found it really helpful.

And starting in a couple of days I begin rehearsals for another play.

- You're doing another one? - Again?

- I need to slim down a bit for that one too. - What's the play this time?

This one's called "The Turing Machine."

[Play "The Turing Machine" 26.01.08 - 26.03.01] It's about Alan Turing

[A play about Alan Turing's life] a famous British scientist

[A British computer scientist] who decrypted codes.

[who cracked the German secret code Enigma] I'm playing that

[and shortened the WWII] person.

- As a stage play. - Tooring...?

Tooring?

- Tooring? - Turing.

- He's the one who cracked Enigma, right? - Right, the Enigma.

[Yurmione the know-it-all] He decoded Germany's cipher in WWII.

- Wow, you're incredible. - This is so annoying.

It's annoying how he knows everything.

[Respect] That's honestly impressive.

I've heard he has a private tutor.

For theater, current affairs, stocks, history.

That he's got a private teacher for everything.

- That's seriously impressive. - How do you know about Enigma?

Inigma...

[Correction] Enigma.

There's a place called Enigmaville Penthouse.

A villa?

[Raw stream-of-consciousness] I was looking at villas for a while.

- What is this guy. - There's an Enigmaville.

Seriously, this guy.

I still can't believe he graduated from Ajou University's business school.

[Confident] I did.

[Skeptical] No, seriously...

I took the exam properly and got in.

My dad back then

[Ajou University foundation, Daewoo] since it was tied to Daewoo

said it'd be good for getting a job so he recommended it.

I first applied to Hanyang University's Theater and Film department.

I failed.

You're not good at acting.

Hey!

You're supposed to see the potential.

Why would someone already fully formed even apply there?

[Not backing down] Still, if you're aiming for acting...

- Have you seen my acting, huh? - I have!

- When? - You're my senior. I've seen it plenty.

[KBS Special Hire Comedian Class 10 KBS Open Recruitment Comedian Class 7]

Your acting was seriously awful.

Like, really awful.

What was that thing you did with Kwang Soo?

"Entourage."

[tvN "Entourage"] When I did a cameo on "Entourage"

[Seok Sam appeared as a cameo] the director

praised me a lot!

Because they wanted to finish fast.

- Cameos usually get praised. - He asked me why I don't act more.

Yeah.

[Please agree with me] He kept asking me why I don't act.

I was so natural. I even improvised a lot.

Hey, sorry, but stop hitting me.

[Overwhelming affectionate touch] Seriously, even back on "Sixth Sense."

That's his habit.

[One more time] His habit.

[Touching while asking for agreement] He keeps hitting and poking like this.

- He's asking you to listen. - He keeps hitting me.

[Back to the Hanyang University story] Anyway, after failing

Hanyang's Theater and Film.

- To Ajou...! - So you went to Ajou?

No, no. I retook the exam.

Oh, I didn't know you did a retake.

[At first, chasing the dream] I applied to Theater and Film.

[He applied to Theater and Film] Because that was my dream.

[After retaking] My dad said, "Get a job."

[Seok Jin's dad] Since Daewoo has a solid affiliated school

and the employment is basically guaranteed.

- The foundation was Daewoo. - Ajou's foundation

- was Daewoo Foundation. - Daewoo.

So my friends they all got jobs at major companies.

Like... S... Or H... those big ones.

Samsung and Hyundai?

[Why did you turn into Hong Gil Dong?]

Why would you say S and H...

You mentioned Hanyang and Ajou University.

You mentioned all that.

[Awkward] I'm still soaked in legacy media habits.

[Running Man uncle glitching] Yeah.

I haven't fully adapted to this new media world yet.

[Got ya] Why avoid saying Samsung, our flagship company?

And why Hyundai?

Either be consistent.

Why talk about universities openly but...

- Oh, right. - Exactly.

[Still weak with new media] Still struggling with new media.

[Channel Jeeseokjin World] I'm a 660k YouTuber, but still not used to it.

- How many k? 660k? - 660k.

That rhymes perfectly with being born in '66.

Hahaha.

But seriously, in my life...

Born in '66 and 660k?

[Jae Seok, listen to me] Jae Seok, honestly, in my life

- the number 6 keeps showing up. - Yeah.

I was born in '66.

And my phone number ends in 66.

- Oh, right. - That's true.

- And my YouTube is at 660k subscribers. - Yeah.

Now, if you all subscribe, it could become 670k.

Then to keep it there...

[Bold declaration] Please don't subscribe.

Don't subscribe.

[Channel owner loves 660k] 660k is just right.

- I like 66. - He needs to maintain it.

[JeeseokjinWorld] Is it still 660k right now?

[Subscribers: 667k] Probably.

[There really is something with the number 6] This is kind of insane.

And on top of that...

- The last digits of your number... - Yeah.

It's xx66, so for real.

It really is.

- Hey, why would you say that! - They're gonna edit it out.

[Gyeju even memorized his number] Why would you say that?

[010-****-**66] Please bleep that.

- You know what's even crazier? - It really is 66.

- What is it? - I...

[Recently bought a car] I bought a Carnival not long ago.

They gave me ten number options to choose from.

And then?

Out of those ten there wasn't a single one without a 6.

- Every single one had a 6! - Really?

[Evidence] Look, there's a 6 in all of them.

- Whoa, you're right. They all have it! - See?

- Every one has a 6! - Wait a second.

This one's 5234, though.

There's 164 in the front.

Oh...

But isn't that kind of forcing it a bit?

No, look.

[Take a look] They all have a 6.

But you're seeing the numbers really big.

[Presbyopia issue resurfaces] I zoomed it in for you to see.

[Dying] I zoomed it in for you.

You said you didn't have presbyopia.

[Teasing] But you're reading it huge.

Why would I not admit it if I really have that?

I don't have it. Look at this. I'm made it huge for you.

[Bickering all day long] I'm fine. I can see it even like this.

Why would you make it that small?

You gotta make use of your smartphone like this.

Actually, I also really like the number 6.

- Oh, you like 6? - Yeah, I do.

Why?

There are four numbers I really like.

[Hesitating] But this...

- Maybe I shouldn't say the numbers. - You can't say them?

[Too personal?] It's too personal...?

[Whispering] They show up too much in my passwords.

Oh, your password could get exposed.

[Precious] Yeah, passwords.

Oh, right.

[Protect Dong Hwi's password at all costs] You could combine them and guess it.

If you try randomly, you might get it.

There's definitely a 6 in Seok Jin's password.

[Unexpected news] This is some juicy info.

Seok Jin definitely has a 6 in his passwords.

- No! - No.

- Is it 6666? - No, there isn't.

No, no.

- You look pretty flustered. - It's 6666, right?

[Only Seok Sam knows the truth]

There's no way it's 6666.

[Pinggyego!]

Sorry, but

may I clean up what you spilled on the floor a bit?

You can't stand stuff like this, huh?

That's not mine. Angle-wise, it's not. Did I spill it...?

It's definitely yours.

[Picking up crumbs himself] It's done.

- No, still... - It's all stuck here, look.

[Gyeju refills coffee] I should have a bit more decaf.

It got kind of bland...

No, no, it's fine.

- He's coming out! - It's fine.

[Hi] Wait, this guy...

[Jae Seok] Is it your first time seeing this?

You raise this too, huh?

I've got three of them here.

[Seok Jin] Why three?

[The fate of a two-cat household] There's so much cat hair.

The three of them basically compete with each other.

Hey, what are you doing.

I'm trying to drink it lighter.

You use the same one we have at home.

And that coffee machine next to it...

[From Pinggyego Morning Colathèque] You got that from us.

[Coffee machine] I'm using it really well.

- So you are using it. - Yeah.

Did I win it from rock-paper-scissors or something? I think.

Yeah, yeah.

[Checking out the glasses collection] Dong Hwi.

- You can wear them. - You've lived alone for quite a while now, right?

Yeah.

How many years has it been?

Three years!

I've lived alone since moving here.

- So before that, you lived with your parents? - Yeah, with my parents.

[Only three years into independence] So you lived together.

But you've never lived alone either.

Right.

Both of us have never lived alone.

- I kind of want to try it someday. - We're both former mama's boys.

[First-generation mama's boys]

Hahahahaha.

Mama Gen 1.

Even after thirty I was like, "Mom, can I get 10,000 won?"

- Sorry, but seriously - For real. I didn't have work.

I've never seen a mama's boy born in '66.

Mama Gen 1.

There are tons of them around.

You'd think we'd say "Mother," right?

It's Mom!

[Mom still feels more comfortable at this age]

I do video calls a lot. I'm always like, "Mom!"

- You say "Mom" too, right? - Yeah.

I say "Mom."

- You say "Mom" too, right? - Yeah, I do.

[Same word for everyone]

But I say "Father" for my dad.

Saying "Dad" feels a bit weird.

- Saying "Dad" at this age... - Dad!

Dad!

[Somehow awkward]

It's a bit weird, Dad!

Dong Hwi, do you call him Dad?

- I say "Pops." - Pops.

[Feels a bit warmer] "Father" sounds too distant.

I actually changed it not long ago.

Starting this year.

I decided to be a more affectionate son.

Because I'm an only son.

With no daughters?

Yeah. So...

[Sudden thought] I said I'm an only son, so of course...

You can have sisters and still be an only son.

[Quick apology] Sorry, sorry.

- It's fine. - You're really

- thoughtful. - Sure.

You've got no room to breathe while talking.

[The calm of a 60 year-old, 34 years since debut]

[Anyway] Anyway.

[First family group chat this year] I made a family group chat this year.

I've been sending more photos.

Really?

- Because my parents... - You've grown.

They love the cats so much.

- You send cat photos. - Yeah.

When I'm busy or overseas they come over and look after them

like they're grandkids.

Don't they tell you to get married?

[Never-ending marriage nagging] Of course they do.

Back in our day, at his age...

How old are you this year?

[Dong Hwi, born in 1985] I'm 41.

I'm 39 by your math.

- You're 39. - If I don't do your math, I'm 41.

You're making it sound like I'm the only one who counts like that.

The whole world does!

[Ready to tease]

The whole world where?

The whole world counts age like that.

- How do they count it? - In Europe or the US,

they even say years and months.

- Oh... - They really do.

Then how many years and months are you?

How would I know.

[Pure Korean, no clue about months]

And if I say months

- it's kind of embarrassing. - Even then, it'd just be 12 months.

I'm not a puppy, talking about months is weird.

You said they do that overseas though.

"I'm 33 years and 14 months" is this it?

What do you mean, 14 months?

After 12 months, you turn a year older.

So the year never changes and you just keep going in months?

[New age-counting paradigm] "I'm 59 years and 26 months."

Is this how it works?

[Statement from a 59-year-10-month man] So I officially

declared it.

[On Running Man / aging 1 year every 3 years] I'll age 1 year every 3 years.

- Right, right. - I said that, right?

But I'm saying this clearly.

If you stop aging and I keep getting older

I'm going to curse you out.

[Declaration of war]

Be ready for that.

I'll age one year right before I get cursed at.

[Extremely childish] You don't get it.

- One year right before the cursing starts. - I'll be smacking you on the back of your head.

Don't be surprised if I do that.

[By Jee Seok Sam] Age is just a social construct.

- Still, rules are rules. - Am I wrong?

If it's a social construct, then

[Breaking conventions] like this...

What? Haha.

You punk.

- What do you mean, punk? - Look.

- You said it's a social construct. - Right.

That applies to the age hierarchy too.

Of course.

- Doesn't it? - I mean, yeah, but...

[Defender of conventions]

- Well, then... - Don't mess with it.

Then I'll have to hope you live longer.

- Because - Of course.

you'll stay frozen, and I can catch up too.

You could catch up too, of course.

[1 year every 3 years, still moving] I'm not stopping.

[Just slower] I'm aging 1 year every 3 years.

You can do all this.

What are you going to do about this construct?

[Time to choose] Break everything?

What?

- Break it all? Or not? - I won't break everything.

[Gradual dismantling] I'll break it step by step.

Yeah.

- Why live trapped - In a frame?

- in a frame made by society? - That's what I'm saying.

Don't do that.

It applies to all of you.

Eun Jin, you too.

"You must get married by a certain age." That's just what older people say.

It's a social construct.

- Hold on. - It's my life.

You just told me

"Shouldn't you get married?"

That was me

speaking from a social-construct perspective.

I'm taking this guy to the hospital soon.

[Wiping emotional tears] Soon.

He needs therapy.

Without realizing it

I said I'd age 1 year every 3 years.

That day

[Impressed himself] I was blown away by my own line.

I might open a new era.

[Anyone aging 1 year every 3 years, gather here] That I'm gonna age 1 year every 3 years.

I said it first in the world.

"Anyone aging 1 year every 3 years, come gather!" In front of the National Assembly Building.

What if people come beat you up?

They wouldn't beat people like that.

- Why would they come beat you up? - Yeah, it's kind of like that.

[Breaking social stereotypes] Like Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump.

Dong Hwi really knows how to say it nicely.

[Warm ending] You've kind of got that Tom Hanks vibe.

- Really? - Yeah.

Since it's the end of the year

everyone ages another year

but for people about to change the first digit

especially going from their 20s to 30s.

For me, going from the 30s to 40s was actually fine.

I was already married and all that.

[But turning 30 really hits hard] But going from 29 to 30?

- That was kind of shocking. - Yeah, now that I think about it.

For me, actually, 29 to 30 was...

- Okay? - I didn't feel much.

Then was it 39 to 40 for you?

When I hit 40, I was just like, "Wow, here it is."

- I'm officially 40 now. - The sweet 40, you know.

[Entering the 50s] And going from 49 to 50

wow, that's...

When you think back

those seniors used to feel so far away.

[Back then] Like real elders.

[Ages that once felt untouchable] Actual grown-ups.

These days, though

so many people really take care of themselves.

Right, right.

So even in their 40s and 50s

people really keep their own style

and carry it attractively.

Back in the day, when you said 40s...

It felt so uniform.

[Social age feels very different now] There used to be

- a very typical image of the 40s. - There was, for sure.

[Style matters as much as age] Style matters.

It really changes how you look.

Seriously.

This is really pretty. Is it expensive?

So Dong Hwi...

how much do you spend on clothes a month?

I honestly buy a lot of clothes. And I still really love them.

You love it still?

It's a little embarrassing to show here

but I'll show you my closet sometime.

Why not show us now?

[Since we're talking, to the closet] Want to see it now?

Let's take a quick look. I'm curious.

Don't you run a market here or something?

I took these out for you to try...

[Prepped clothes] Seriously?

These are ones I took out earlier.

[Trench coat] This looks amazing if you wear it right.

[Leather jacket] What is this, wow, it's leather.

Saint Laurent, Balenciaga.

[Gets excited at luxury brands] Seriously?

Balenciaga, Saint Laurent.

- Hey, this is Balenciaga. - Yeah, this one.

[Starting first] Hold on.

Can I try that on?

- This one really emphasizes the shoulders. - Balenciaga.

Wow, that looks so good!

[Broad shoulders] You look like your shoulders got huge.

- Why do your shoulders look so huge? - Let me see.

[Trying it on next / Mirror check]

Balenciaga kind of has this vibe.

[Mirror check for Seok Sam too] Right. Whoa.

- You could go straight to a club like that. - Turn around.

You look like my aunt from back in the day.

Whoa.

My old aunt.

[Seok Jin fully enjoying new clothes]

Is this Saint Laurent music? No, I mean...

[Sudden slip of the tongue] Clothes?

That aunt comment totally got him.

- No. - He's acting cool.

[Pretending not to hear] He's acting like it didn't hurt.

- That totally got him. - Wow, Saint Laurent.

- That's why he's wobbling a bit now. - This is insane.

- Wow, Saint Laurent. - He's pretending not to hear anything.

[One-way conversation]

- No, no, this is very European... - Totally pretending not to hear.

But this really is nice.

Man, your shoulders though.

Your shoulders are full Pacific Ocean now.

Power shoulders.

[Power walk to match power shoulders]

Hey, but...

I haven't heard that snorting laugh in a while.

- This kind of stuff fits me well. - You try this on.

[Outfit change] This really fits me well.

Balenciaga.

- This is Saint Laurent. - It's one of my favorites.

I've never owned a Saint Laurent piece.

Wow.

- Whoa. - Those shoulders.

- It's giving A Better Tomorrow vibes. - The shoulders...

[Confident with the huge shoulders]

I've never worn stuff like this.

But Jae Seok

since you're slim, it really suits you.

But where do you even wear something like this to?

So honestly

I can't really pull it off either.

[Closet piece worn only twice] It's basically new.

I've worn it maybe once or twice.

For movies or dramas

[Fits strong-character roles] this would be perfect for a character role.

[Mirror check again] Right, right.

That's why I keep buying stuff too

since I actually wear my clothes out.

Yeah, those shoulders really pop.

You're not that cool, though.

[One-way talk resumes] That got him again.

That totally got him.

- Sorry, but honestly... - Can't you take out these bricks?

That's not it...

Can't we remove the bricks?

It looks like you walked out wearing the hanger too.

So with this, you're supposed to wear it like...

just like this.

[Only on the shoulders] Drape it on like this.

Oh, don't put it on fully?

You look like a ghost right now.

[Going for the mirror again] Really?

Like this, it's a bit... whoa.

[The owner of the clothes is crying]

Does this jacket come with a hanger attached?

It feels like the hanger's still there.

Feels like you should pin rank insignia on it.

- You're a commander anyways. - Wow, that's insane.

It's nice having a successful younger friend.

- Saint Laurent, wow. - There's way more inside.

- Let's go see. - Seriously?

[Full-on closet tour begins] Yeah, seriously, go ahead.

- Can we really look? - For real? This is it?

[Instant reactions upon entering the closet]

- You've got so many nice caps too. - Miu Miu and stuff.

I've actually got a lot of caps hidden away right now.

- True fashionista. - And if you go further in...

[Even more clothes deeper inside] There's more?

There's another whole section.

[Seok Jin] Whoa, there's more in here.

[Following Seok Sam further inside]

This room is...

- [Jae Seok] Dong Hwi, the clothes. - [Seok Jin] Wow, there's even more in here.

[Pinggyego!]

You really do have a lot of clothes.

Looking at that, I had this thought.

If you converted all of this into money...

how much would it be?

- You didn't collect this in just 1 or 2 years. - Right.

[Clothes accumulated over more than 10 years] There are a lot of clothes

- Yeah, exactly. - I've been wearing for over 10 years.

That's a serious asset.

I've loved clothes since I was young.

And it's not like

it's all luxury brands either.

I went to one of his music video shoots

saw this nice jacket and asked, "What's that?"

Turns out he bought it in UK.

At some vintage shop!

Yeah, for like 20,000 won.

[Wide fashion spectrum] Yeah, I've got a lot like that too.

Once you really get into fashion that's where the fun is.

You can't force yourself to get interested in fashion.

- Hmm... - You can't. You've got zero interest.

[Scanning...] Looking at you, yeah, none.

You really don't seem interested.

Still better than you though.

Hey! I'm better than him!

[Knock knock] What are you talking about.

Hey, man.

- Man? - If I get into fashion, it's game over.

Game over how, hehe.

I just can't focus on that right now

but look, I've already got a vibe!

If Jae Seok gets into fashion, it's over.

[Confidence through the roof at the back-up] Game over. If I get interested, it's chaos.

Don't get interested. It really is gonna be chaos.

- Hahahahaha. - Hahahahaha.

Anyway, people say

having an interest in fashion looks cool

so I tried getting into it for like two days.

[Failed] Nope. Not for me.

- It didn't work. - Then what are you into?

Travel.

- What kind of travel? - I just wake up and go

wherever I feel like if I don't have work.

I went to Chuncheon the other day too.

But at that wedding

- you confessed something. - What did I say?

You said you didn't want to go on overseas trips

so you try to steer things toward domestic travel with your wife.

Hey, you can't say it like that.

Is this your hearing today or what?

The way you talk, seriously. You can't say it like that.

I've got my stance too.

I'm saying I'm a smart husband.

When there are lots of people around

domestic trips are actually better than overseas.

And these days, especially in fall

[Domestic spots rivaling overseas destinations] Korea's scenery is honestly amazing.

Even just Namsan nearby.

- It's so nice here. - It's really beautiful.

The road up to Namsan Library.

[As of November filming] It's incredible.

[Namsan trail covered in fall colors] This time of year, it's all like that.

Honestly, all around Seoul these days

- there are so many new places we didn't know. - True.

- So many fun spots popping up. - There's just so much to go see.

For example

in shows or movies now I get why people go to those places.

Because they've been around so much

when you get even a small hint

[Finding a nice spot through content] like "This place is nice" in a movie or drama

that's why people go there.

I end up wanting to go too.

- Where did you go then? - So I went to Chuncheon recently.

How many times are you going to mention Chuncheon?

[Because I went there recently...]

- Recently. - The most recent place was

- Chuncheon, so Chuncheon it is. - It was great.

- Seriously, go to Chuncheon. Just go. - Chuncheon is nice.

Just up and go?

Just get up and go, with two dogs.

- Sorry, cats. - Cats, cats.

Hey.

Cats don't really go out.

- You don't take them out? - And I've never had dogs.

[Changing the subject quickly] He really loves his cats.

[Dong Hwi's SNS is basically cat heaven] He posts them a lot.

I've changed a lot.

[After raising cats] Even my life itself

[Dong Hwi has changed a lot too] I get angry way less.

- Really? - Were you pretty hot-tempered before?

Yeah, a lot.

But after raising cats I started understanding things more.

[When he first adopted strays] When they came in from the streets

they were aggressive at first

and I got startled a lot.

[Scratches and bleeding at the beginning] I'd hold them wrong, get scratched, bleed

but then I realized they weren't doing it on purpose.

- Right. - And I was the one who brought them in.

Exactly, it's self-defense.

Things I used to be sensitive about

I started thinking "I shouldn't have been like that."

- I've realized a lot thanks to cats. - A lot of realizations.

Doing everything with love.

That's why people say animals are better than humans.

That's right.

True. Animals are pure.

They give back the love you give them.

- People aren't always like that. - Some people aren't like that.

That's why people say "worse than animals."

- Right, right. - Why are you saying that to me?

[Misunderstanding]

Why are you hitting me while saying that?

No, no, hehe.

- You're asking for agreement, right? - Ye... yeah, haha.

[No misunderstanding] I'm asking for agreement.

- I'm asking for agreement here. - Agreement, right.

[Perfect rhyme clears the air] That's why that saying exists.

That you're worse than animals.

You know when you get scammed

- it's usually by people close to you. - Totally.

Like lending money and not getting it back.

That happens a lot.

[All three have experienced it] You have that experience, right?

I have too.

- You have, right? - I have, of course.

- It's awkward to even ask for it back. - Exactly.

They borrow an awkward amount too.

They say they'll definitely pay it back.

But then they disappear.

And asking for the money later...

[Awkward to contact first] Calling after a long time and saying

- "Can you pay me?" feels weird. - Yeah.

Money's tricky.

It's been a long time since you borrowed money, right?

- Money? - Yeah.

[No assumptions]

It's been a while, hasn't it?

It's been a long time for me.

It's been a long time since you borrowed money, right?

The last time I borrowed it was probably from Jae Seok.

No, that wasn't really borrowing.

It was more like when you didn't have cash for a wedding gift.

- No, not that. - Then what?

- You might not remember. - Huh?

Did you ever borrow money from me and not pay it back?

[Panicking] I paid it back. I did.

[Innocent / Suspicious] I paid it back.

Then is the person you keep talking about...?

Viewers might think...

one or two out of a thousand might go

"Oh, it was him." It's not that.

- You don't remember? - What was it?

A long time ago.

[Going back about 22 years] Around 2003 or 2004, I borrowed some.

I borrowed it and paid it back.

[Creditor doesn't remember] Tell me what it was. If you paid it back.

- I honestly don't remember right now. - You don't remember?

- What was it? - It wasn't a small amount either.

[As requested] Please bleep this.

- You borrowed from me? - I did.

Did you pay it back?

Wow, maybe I don't have to pay it back now.

Depending on the vibe.

[Joke over] Of course, I paid it back.

I remember!

- I couldn't pay on the exact date. - Right.

I couldn't, so I called that day.

[Asking for understanding before the due date] "Jae Seok, this is what's going on."

"I was going to pull money from stocks but I'm stuck."

"I'm stuck. Please wait a bit."

He paid it back quickly.

- I did, because... - That's why I lent it to you!

That's just who I am.

If I don't pay back

I'd go insane.

Of course that's how it should be.

But some people are way too comfortable.

- I've watched him for a long time. - That's not okay.

I trust him of course. But I also know where he lives

his parents...

[Forced trust system]

Even if he runs away, I know where he is.

You know his workplace too.

[Workplace, home, parents, spouse...] Workplace too.

[Knows everything] You know my wife too.

I know everything. I know where he lives.

You're all friends with his bosses too.

[No escape, fully surrounded] You can totally surround him.

- He paid it back within two days. - Right.

I remember calling because I felt bad about missing the date.

But there are people who don't even contact you.

That's really not okay.

Those people, you shouldn't keep close.

Absolutely.

- They're not around anymore anyway. - Right.

And there are people like this too.

They don't remember lending money and they don't remember borrowing it either.

[Forgets everything equally] Those people exist.

[Generally bad with numbers] Just fuzzy with numbers.

Some people are just fuzzy with numbers overall.

So I once lent someone about

7,000 dollars, give or take.

And even now, they don't really remember.

[Still hasn't brought it up] I still haven't said anything.

- Must be someone close. - It's been a while. Yeah, someone I know well.

- That's why it's hard to bring up. - Someone I really liked.

- Yong Man? - No, haha.

[Blurted out a real name] It's not Yong Man.

- Soo Yong? - Not Soo Yong either.

Then you don't have many close people left.

I can't say who it is.

Oh, I think I know.

[Gyeju catches on too] I get it now.

And since I know that person too

[Not intentional at all] they're just bad with numbers.

- They don't even remember lending bigger amounts. - They really don't.

If you bring it up, they'd probably pay you back.

But since you lent it in dollars

are you planning to apply the exchange rate?

[Lent dollars from the start] I lent dollars.

And the exchange rate is good right now.

It's too good, so honestly it's not bad.

- It's probably doubled since then. - Back then it was around 1,100 won.

[As of editing USD-KRW: 1,473]

- Around 1,450. - Over 1,400 as of today, right?

Gold's like that too. Gold.

I've actually got a confession.

- What, what? - Did you buy gold?

No, not that.

When Jae Seok and I were on that show together

[MSG Wannabe won Best Teamwork Award] "Hangout with Yoo."

[on 2021 MBC Entertainment Awards] When we won the Teamwork Award

[Prize: one don of gold] that one don of gold

I sold it and bought clothes.

[Sold gold to buy clothes] I mean, that was...

Sometimes they give you gold like that as a prize.

[Sometimes gold is given as a prize] Not always

[Not always] but sometimes.

Some people keep it as a keepsake.

I think Ji Hye did that recently.

[YouTube "Gwanjong Un-ni"] She filmed content about it.

[Selling piled gold] "How much will all this gold be worth?"

"How much will all this gold be worth?"

I've got some at home too.

You two must have a lot.

I've never sold a single one.

Me neither.

Back in the day on Running Man when you won, they gave gold and all that.

But I didn't win that many times.

[Unfortunate detail] So I don't have much gold.

But that stuff isn't just a prize.

[Reported as income] Later they send you tax bills and everything.

I've talked about that on shows before.

At the end of the year

you gather receipts and income records for taxes.

[Spotted strange income] You don't recognize some income, right?

"What is this? When did this come in?"

It's not a huge amount.

But the numbers have to add up.

Turns out it was the gold I got as a Running Man prize.

Oh, so that's how it works.

You probably had the same thing

from Hangout with Yoo.

I didn't have many

but there was some clothes I really wanted.

I searched the whole house and found two don.

- Ohhh. - Ohhh.

How much was gold back then?

I sold it recently.

[Congrats on the gold investment] Recently?

- Nice timing. - Sold at a good price.

The Hangout with Yoo teamwork award we got that together, didn't we?

[MSG Wannabe members received it together] You should have one too.

- It's attached to the medal, right? - Yeah.

[As of filming date] Gold is around 700,000 won per don, right?

[Search time] One don price.

[As of filming date] 710,000 won.

[One don, 3.75g is about 710,000 won]

It dropped a bit. It went over 800,000 at one point.

I sold mine about two or three weeks ago.

If my mom finds out, she'll be furious.

It's still a medal, you know.

Where did you sell it? At a gold shop?

I went to Jongno 3-ga.

[Interested] So they...

They put it on the scale.

- Right? - Right?

- Take off the clip. - Take it off.

- Weigh just the gold. - Just the gold.

And it's engraved, right? With MBC and all that.

Yeah, the owner said

[Gold shop guy] "Are you sure you're okay selling it like this?"

[No regrets later?]

Because I went to the same guy twice.

If you're okay selling it like that, haha.

I said "I've only got two of these. It's fine."

Wow, you really used it well.

I should check what I've got at home.

[There were gold spoons as prizes] Back then on Running Man

[The good old days] they even gave gold spoons sometimes.

They used to attach gold to everything.

Gold prices weren't like this back then.

It was under 200,000 per don.

- Wow, it really went up. - It went up like crazy.

First birthday rings too. I've said this before

but back then, they were like 100,000 won.

At first birthdays people would just give a full don.

- 120,000 won? Like 150,000 won? - One don rings.

[Gold ring for the first birthday was the rule] Literally.

- Then one day people started giving half don. - Now you can't do that.

When it hit 250,000

I thought, "This is the peak."

[Probably a regret we all share] "Gold at 250,000? No way."

If I'd invested back then... Even just a gold ETF.

Who knew it'd go like this.

[His major suddenly comes to mind] Hold on. Business major...

I had no idea.

A business major who can't manage his own assets at all.

Look.

I mean, I remember when gold was 55,000 won per don.

[Nostalgic...] That's when I was going to first birthdays.

Anyway, Dong Hwi.

Thanks so much for inviting us over.

I really don't invite people over often.

[We probably won't visit each other's homes] Right, right.

[That comment can be verified on] Really means a lot.

[Union is an excuse, EP. 25]

It's not easy to open up your home for filming.

If Jae Seok comes over I could even move out and live somewhere else.

I could go out with the cats.

[Self-eviction] I could tell them to move out for a bit.

- Hey, no, that's not okay. - Well, then

- bring your family here for summer vacation. - No way.

[Still, this place really is nice] The house really gets great light.

When our manager walked in, he immediately said "It's so nice here."

And he said

"If I lived in a place like this I don't think I'd ever go outside."

He must've liked it that much.

[Nice fridge]

[Manager's honest feelings slipping out] "This place is really nice."

That manager goes in and out of your place all the time too, right?

He never said that back then.

Not once.

Hehe.

Wow, that's true. Now that I think about it.

So without meaning to...

His true feelings slipped out.

[But fair enough] It really is different.

It's different. This place is new.

It's new, and ours is decades old.

I really love how the sunlight comes in like this.

I guess because I didn't grow up in a place like this

[A childhood dream, a sun-filled home] having sunlight pour in feels amazing.

But I thought you grew up in a pretty wealthy family.

- Not at all. - Really?

You really give off wealthy vibe though.

That's because my parents worked really hard.

We weren't wealthy

but they worked extremely hard so I wouldn't have a tough time. I'm so grateful.

I told you before.

[10 years ago] I first met Dong Hwi when I was doing commercials.

[Dong Hwi even wrote him a fan letter] I gave you a letter.

- Right, right. - And brought something too.

Because I...

Both of you were people I admired and respected since I was young.

No, you don't have to do that.

- I don't? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Then I'll just leave you out.

[I'll listen to you]

- No, don't leave me out on purpose. - That'd make him upset.

[Pinggyego!]

[An episode from a variety shoot in Japan] Something really funny happened.

I went to Japan to film with Sang Yi.

We went to shoot a singing program.

And seriously, thank you again.

[Thanks to MSG Wannabe] What are you talking about.

[Dong Hwi's singing skills became well known] Thanks to you, I ended up singing

- with Sang Yi a lot after that. - I love it. You're a good singer.

- You're really good. - Anyway, so?

[ENA "Change Street"] So we went to Japan and did busking.

Ohhh.

But I'd never done busking before in my life.

And that day, of all days

there was crazy wind.

[I was already nervous] It was super windy in Japan that day.

[Wind and cold made it worse] I was shaking while singing.

We finished everything safely and were about to head back.

[Local fans approach Dong Hwi] Some Japanese people came up and asked

"Ottoseyo?"

They asked like this. "Ottoseyo?"

I thought, since Korean culture is so big now

they must've studied Korean.

You figured they were asking, "How was it?"

[Q. Ottoseyo?] So I said, "I'm fine, thank you"

and tried to leave but they kept saying, "Ottoseyo?"

[The question keeps coming back] "Ottoseyo?"

- What? - What does that mean?

I started thinking "Am I misunderstanding something?"

So I took photos with them first.

[Greeted the fans and parted ways] After taking all the photos, I said goodbye.

And the next day

the interpreter was

introducing my filmography saying what kind of actor I am

and then said, "Ottoseyo."

- Oh! - What's that?

"Ottoseyo" was actually "Reply."

[tvN "Reply 1988" Dong Ryong]

- In Japanese, it was "Ottoseyo." - "Ottoseyo"

[Real pronunciation]

[Confusion resolved]

[What they were trying to say] "I watched ‘Reply.'"

So they were saying they enjoyed "Reply."

[Ping pong] They were saying that.

[Kept saying "I'm fine" three times] I said I'm fine three times.

"Reply! Reply! You were in it, right?"

"I'm fine."

[Couldn't reply at all] I'm fine. I'm fine.

Because

at the time, the wind was so strong...

- You thought they were worried about you. - Because it was cold.

So in our terms, it's like "Pinggyego..."

"I'm fine."

[Not fine at all] "I'm fine."

[Frustrated] Why do you keep saying you're fine?

I'm talking about the show you're on.

At first I really didn't realize.

I even said, "Your Korean is really good."

If I hadn't taken photos that could've been really awkward.

- They could've misunderstood badly. - That's hilarious.

I think the PDs and writers of "Reply" are incredible too.

[Starting with "Reply 1997"] They really are.

["Reply 1994," "Reply 1988," and more] Because

[Creators of "Reply" series and "Playlist" series] their eye for people is unreal.

[Writer Lee Woo Jung, PD Shin Won Ho] Writer Lee Woo Jung and PD Shin Won Ho.

Both of them actually came from variety shows.

Yeah, variety. I know them really well.

And there's exactly one person they couldn't make huge. It's Seok Jin.

[One and only]

That's not wrong.

- Hahaha, that's actually true. - It's nothing.

- Honestly! - The only one they couldn't raise.

- I won't call him Shin Won Ho PD. - It was Seok Jin.

Won Ho, Woo Jung, Yeong Seok.

The three of them couldn't raise me.

The only one they failed with is Seok Jin.

I worked with all three of them.

Oh really?

- When they were leads. - Yeah.

On what show? Which program?

[Discussing industry is just an excuse, EP. 66] "Heroine 6."

[KBS "Heroine 6"] "Heroine 6."

[PD Na and Writer Woo Jung worked together] They cast Seok Jin as MC on that show.

And that show actually blew up.

Yeah, it did.

You were the only one who didn't.

[Emotional damage] Do you really have to say it like that?

[Burst out laughing together]

It's not wrong though.

- But it's true. - It's not wrong.

Honestly, they're like magicians.

Even what they did with me feels unreal.

They saw that Dong Ryong side of you.

Isn't that the skill? That's talent.

Casting one person

isn't just a one-time thing, I heard.

I heard they go to see the performances and all.

- Right. - They'd go several times.

What surprised me on the shoot was this.

["Reply 1988" Episode 16]

[The Ssangmun-dong family at the talent show audition]

- Yeah, that clip's famous. - That day.

In the script, it just said "Dong Ryong warms up his voice."

I asked, "Director, how should I do this?"

PD Shin said, "Do whatever you want. Just do it like you're at karaoke."

So I went a little overboard, really hyped. And we filmed it just once.

That made it on air?

I thought there was no way they'd use it.

That was ridiculous.

[Nunununu My dad's a dean and my mom's the queen of insurance]

[Ad-lib full of R&B soul]

I did something ridiculous.

I thought, no way this makes the cut. Then I saw it aired exactly like that.

I thought, "Wow, these people are really special."

[That scene blew up] That blew up.

And that's how I ended up singing more.

Right, right.

Actually...

Maybe I can only say this now

honestly, the people who built tvN's foundation were

- Yeong Seok and PD Lee Myung Han. - Yeah, that team.

Wow, I worked with all of them.

[With PD Lee Myung Han] I worked with PD Lee Myung Han too.

[Did KBS "Star Golden Bell"] "Star Golden Bell."

[In my pocket bro] You were kind of like...

[Let me introduce my bro]

PDs would look at him

and think, "I want to try raising that guy."

Even that Rice House guy.

[The PD who led the golden age of public-interest variety, with MBC "Good Fridge"]

["Exclamation Mark!," "Let's Praise"] Kim Young Hee PD.

[a.k.a. "Rice Shop guy" Kim Young Hee PD] Even he said that to me.

But every PD fell along the way.

[Legendary MC who K.O.'d legendary PDs]

Hey, you...

It's right though.

That Rice House PD said this.

"There's only one guy left who didn't make it."

Everyone he had picked succeeded

[Cast the last remaining one] "He's the only one who didn't make it."

That's why he cast me on "Exclamation Mark!"

[Interested]

- On "Exclamation Mark!" - Oh, right.

But that segment didn't work.

Three months. That's why no one remembers.

[Sad] I did it for three months, and that was it.

I was on "Exclamation Mark!" but I don't remember at all.

You don't remember, right? But I was there.

If you search "Jee Seok Jin Exclamation Mark" will it even show up?

["Dad's Food"] It ran for three months.

[A segment meant to fix kids' picky eating habits] Even while doing it, I thought

[Doesn't show up if you search it] "This probably won't last."

But in another sense, even now someone might still want to raise you as talent.

I'm raising him right now.

[That's me]

All those directors got knocked out and I'm the one who raised you.

["I'm your variety father"] Pinggyego and I raised you.

[Certified by Lee Dong Hwi] Right.

- Right, Dong Hwi? - That's right.

You have to admit that.

[Admitted by not denying it] You have to admit that.

I mean, people would look at me

and think, "That guy will make it."

He was always on the shortlist.

[That's why it was possible] That's why they made that bold casting choice.

[Bold casting for "Exclamation Mark!"]

I was just doing comedy, and suddenly...

- They put me in as a weekend variety MC. - Right.

That's not easy.

So he got a ton of chances.

But I couldn't quite stick the landing.

[Cold self-assessment]

- People have their timing. - You go up...

In my case, I'd get nervous or tense

- and mess it up. - I don't get nervous though.

[Another self-assessment] That's why I failed so many times.

- But that's not him! - I don't get nervous.

He goes in and does well. He hosts well.

But then that's it.

- He doesn't really pop. - I don't spark buzz.

This is even sadder.

Some kind of charm people feel...

Why are you... Hey, that's making me angry.

[LOL]

It wasn't that bad.

[Pinggyego!]

I'm gonna run to the bathroom real quick.

[A cultured person heading to the bathroom] I'll be right back.

- Go, go. - Since we're at your house today.

- [Jae Seok] Keep talking. - Make yourself at home.

Aaaah!

[Rushes off] What?

Oh, this one. Oh dear.

[Gyeju's behavior log] What did you bump into?

[1. Spills drinks often 2. Steps on or bumps into things a lot]

[Seok Jin] What is it? Oh, the dog?

[Honorary Gyewon Seok Sam's behavior log] The dog.

[1. Good at remembering numbers] Not the dog.

[2. Bad at remembering everything else] The cat.

[Only the homeowner is losing it] Dog...

[Correction] Is that a cat step?

- No, no, that's for drying... - It's fine.

[Ouch]

This is bad.

[Recovers] It's fine.

[Bumps into something again / Chaos] Oh man, again...

[Not interested] You're really neat by nature, huh.

Should we put some music on?

Actually...

I think I should leave the mic here before I go.

Otherwise your ears might explode.

[Unexpected consideration]

It probably won't make any sound.

[LOL] It might just drip-drip-drip.

[Seok Jin] No need to worry about that at all.

[Stop worrying and go on] You really worry about everything.

[Quick interlude: trying on Dong Hwi's sunglasses]

- Whoa, bro. - Are these trendy?

- [Staff] Super trendy. - Super trendy, right?

If you wear those with the Balenciaga coat from earlier.

[Immediately tries something else] With the Balenciaga coat.

- Ohhh. - Is this the trend these days?

[Fully into it...]

[Full of himself] Is it okay?

You look great.

- Hmm... not sure... - It's not "not sure."

- You look really good. - Shouldn't I wear bigger ones?

[Pro tip] No, pull them down a bit.

[Tries again following Dong Hwi's advice] Don't stick them all the way up.

- Like this? - Rest them on the tip of your nose. Lower.

- Yeah, that's it. - Lower, like this?

[Extra mood] Is this how you wear them?

You look amazing right now.

[Now the glasses frames] These are interesting too.

[Professional complimenter] They're so pretty. Try them on.

- Pretty? Really? - They suit you so well.

I've never worn glasses like this before.

These are totally the latest. Like, the latest-latest.

[Likes them even more now] They're so sleek.

You look really young right now.

Are you putting on lipstick?

[Went looking for a toothbrush, ended up shaving] My

[Picking glasses, ended up adding color to lips] lips have no color.

[The cultured man returns] That's my concern.

So I use something with color.

[Peeking] My lips have no color.

Hey, wanna try these glasses?

[Coming back once in a while] Those don't really suit me.

[Mini segment: Gyeju makeover with glasses] Kind of a Y2K style.

- Oh? - They look good on you.

Tilda Swinton modeled these.

[Pulls off the model fit perfectly] You seriously look like Tilda Swinton right now.

You look exactly like her.

[Glowing] Seriously...

[Tilda Yoo returns to seat] It's gives off Tilda Swinton vibes.

These might suit you.

[Next makeover item: Seok Jin's glasses] I think these would work.

[Chop!] Instead of sticking to just one style.

[Looks good] Not bad.

Not bad, right?

You look totally different.

[Appearance check] They suit you.

- But these are better, look. - Yeah.

[The most comfortable is the square horn-rim] The square ones.

- This is better. - Square ones.

Try these.

I was actually gonna give these to him.

[Dong Hwi the giving tree] Really?

- Seriously? - You give so much.

- Like this? - You came all this way.

[Observing]

But when I smile, the glasses move up.

[Shrugs]

So how do I... I can't smile in these.

- Yeah, they move up when you smile. - When I smile... hehe.

[He's moving down while laughing] They move up together.

[Tilda Yoo reappears] Those look great on Jae Seok too.

- They look good on you too. - Like this...

- These kind of feel like reading glasses. - Yeah, kind of.

Then get actual reading glasses.

Nope.

I don't need reading glasses. Why do you keep telling me to get them?

I can see fine. This looks clear.

[Teasing mode on] Which part?

I can see everything clearly.

It's weird. My friends all do this to read.

- But you don't? - When I do that, I can't see.

[Found teasing material] I have to look like this.

Take a look.

What can you see?

Hahahaha.

[Teasing alert detected] Anyone could see this.

- Read this then. - What?

This part at the bottom.

The bottom?

Do I really have to read it?

- It's in English. - Read it.

Try moving it further out. Like this.

[Far back]

- No way. - You can kinda see it, right?

I'm telling you, I can't see it like that. I have to look like this to see.

But do I really need to see it?

Cup! Thanks cup!

It's some cup, haha.

This cup! This cup!

Thanks cup...

[Pinggyego!]

People who make it to the top tend to be humble.

- That's the common trait. - Right.

- Yeong Seok is still incredibly humble even now. - Yeah.

He's exactly the same as he was back then.

- Changing isn't necessarily a bad thing. - Right.

I don't think changing is bad either.

You're bound to change naturally.

[As your environment changes] The people you meet change

[And with that, change is inevitable] and as your position rises, you can change a bit.

Isn't Jae Seok still the same though?

I mean, he could easily get cocky but he doesn't at all.

If someone who saw me when I was a rookie saw me now

they might think I've changed a lot.

[Agrees] Right?

- Back when you were a total rookie. - You were so young then.

I was in my 20s, bowing like

"Hello, sir!"

And now if that same person hears

"Oh hello, nice to see you!"

- They might feel like that. - Yeah, from their perspective.

[Experience makes it inevitable] You're older now too.

Right, right.

If I still said, "Hello, sir!" now

[That would feel more awkward] that'd be weird.

They'd be like, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you mocking me?"

That's even stranger.

- That's way stranger. - Totally.

Seok Sam is pretty much the same too.

[Jae Seok] And Dong Hwi too.

This year, I want to become a better person.

But why is it always "starting this year"? Why do you keep saying that?

I didn't realize it before but I think I've reached a point where I see

how much the people I love

have been doing for me.

So for them, at least

[Wanting to give back is the biggest reason] I want to try harder.

[Life is unpredictable] Life keeps changing.

There's no right answer.

- When is there ever an answer? - There isn't one.

I've never lived my life trying to find the right answer.

- You can't really find one anyway. - You can't.

- How about you, Dong Hwi? - I'm similar.

Most of the things I expected never happened.

But the things I didn't expect

- Exactly. - Sometimes do happen.

turn into huge joys.

Things you aim for rarely land.

The movie "Extreme Job" was like that too.

- You didn't expect it to blow up, right? - That movie too?

I had no idea.

[Movie "Extreme Job"] 16 million.

[16.26 million audience] He said rehearsed endless times.

Even among ourselves

we kept saying, "Is this actually funny?"

[Not sure it would do well] Not a single person said

"This is definitely going to be a hit."

So we just stayed humble and said

- "Let's just do our best and finish strong." - And then boom, it exploded.

And suddenly

[People had to line up at theaters] people were lining up at theaters

[An unforgettable moment in life] that's something I'll never forget.

Nothing just comes to you for free.

We've said this on Pinggyego too.

When you keep trying, and you don't give up

- That's wild. - That's right.

- that's when chances come. - True.

- If you just sit around doing nothing - True.

nothing happens, as I always say.

[Chance favors the prepared...!] Only the prepared...

You have to keep doing

- the annoying, exhausting stuff. - Right.

The reason I'm doing theater right now is this.

One day it hit me

if my work starts feeling easy, that's a problem.

Yeah, exactly.

[Once you get too comfortable] I started feeling like

[you feel you'd fall behind] I'd become inadequate.

So I thought "Let's do something that feels hard."

[Jumping into a challenging environment] I wanted to put myself there.

When you get used to something

you start running on inertia.

You think, "I can still make a living without pushing myself."

And that's when you fall.

[To break inertia] If you stop responding to what the staff asks for

[If you don't try to change] or think, "This is good enough"

[That's when the slow downhill starts] You start slipping.

Without realizing.

Even if I'm not aiming for this

[Keep the current state] I want to maintain this, you know.

But you have to think like that to actually stay there.

[Dong Hwi agrees too] That's so true.

If you'd had that mindset

10 years ago, or 5 years ago

- you wouldn't be where you are now. - Exactly.

He might not look like it but he keeps pushing himself nonstop.

[People who worry about Gyeju] Since people worry about me

[Something they say a lot] they often say

"Take it easy."

I know they mean well

so I say, "Thank you! Yeah, I should take it easy."

But honestly, deep down...

- That's not really how I feel. - Right.

I'm not going to start something I absolutely can't handle

but if I really take it easy

[A tough world to survive in] this industry isn't that kind.

- Exactly. - That's just how the world is.

I always say this

it's not just me here.

- There are so many people working together. - Of course.

If there are no results...

then it's really just our memories.

[You don't get the pass necklace] We can't keep going together.

- Right. - You can't.

Take today, this granola Olhgok Peanut Crunch Granola.

Since people are watching we managed to get this deal, right?

- That's right. - Of course.

If you don't work hard yourself

then complain when things don't work out

feel bitter, resentful, and blame others

[Nothing is more foolish] there's nothing more foolish than that.

Because that's how I lived in my 20s

[Painful firsthand experience] I really feel like

I got my head straight in my 30s.

"If I get through this

something better will come next." This mindset.

- I whip myself like that too, in my own way. - Right.

Not as much as Jae Seok, but I do.

Without some level of self-discipline you can't maintain anything.

Right, right.

- You can't. - I might seem like I'm just coasting along.

- People around me... - But I'm not.

Doing things half-heartedly

- and getting great results? - That never happens.

I've never seen it even once.

[Exactly] Same here.

- This is a world where you have to stay sharp. - Stay really sharp.

And I said this recently too

[Boom] and it kind of went around as a clip.

[Clap] What did you say?

People think saving money is the only thing that matters.

I mean, you do need a certain amount saved before you can even invest, right?

But over time

money itself loses value.

[Business major Seok Sam's] There are many ways

[Personal opinion] to invest.

Leaving your money only in the bank

is something I personally think you should never do.

Saying you should never do it...

It sounds a bit extreme but...

[Trying not to laugh] It's better to think about it again.

[Quick correction] I'll rephrase that.

Saying "you should never" is too much.

- Sorry, but if you're gonna say that in my house... - Okay, say it again properly.

This became an issue because...

[Saving is something you should never do!] This is my house...

[#LeeDongHwiHouse #Pinggyego #JeeSeokJin] This is all going out on video.

Compared to people watching

I've lived a bit longer, right?

[Conversation check] But there are viewers

who are older than you too.

Sorry, really sorry...

- And older sisters too! - Anyway!

Honestly, people in their 20s and 30s what investment are they supposed to do?

[People just starting out] There's barely anything in their bank account.

[Most don't have seed money] You need seed money first.

- You have to save that. - Even if it's a small amount.

[Listen carefully] Always think about investing.

[Business major Seok Sam's] Living a life where you keep thinking

[Personal opinion] about money and value like that

from my experience is a much more meaningful life.

- The method and direction of investment - We're not saying this

- you choose for yourselves. - because

[Talking bombs] we're great at it.

- I'm saying this because I failed. - Because we messed up.

[Full of regret] I hope others realize this sooner.

More than anything, money loses value

- if you just hold onto it. - Right.

Of course, if you put money in the ban you do earn interest.

[Unlike now, with average rates of 2 to 3 percent] But honestly, we are not

[Back in high-interest periods] in a high-interest era anymore.

[like the 1960s to 70s, with 20 to 30 % rate] With inflation and everything factored in

[You could grow assets just by saving] I really didn't know that back then.

- I had no idea at all. - None at all.

[Only recently realized the need to invest] It hasn't been long since you realized, right?

Not long at all, which is so sad.

[Team Saving] I just kept saving too.

- Right! - Exactly!

It feels like the safest option.

Honestly, I didn't really understand investing and it scared me.

[Worried about losing the principal] If you invest wrong and lose your principal

- I've lost principal before. - that's money you worked so hard to save.

So of course, investing like that has to be decided very carefully.

[In today's world] Just holding onto cash

[Maybe saving isn't the only answer] might not work...

I definitely saved money, right?

But after time passed

- I did nothing wrong - Exactly.

yet that money suddenly feels like

[Without realizing it, its value dropped] "This is all it's worth now?"

That's what happens.

[An example to make it easier to understand] For example, today you might buy

[You can enjoy it] this Olhgok Peanut Crunch Granola for 10,000 won.

[for 10,000 won today] You buy one bag of this for 10,000 won

and enjoy it.

[Several years later] But a few years later

you try to buy the same thing with the same 10,000 won

[But the price of one bag] and it's now 12,000 won.

[rises to 12,000 won] That's a 20 percent increase.

[Meaning the value of 10,000 won dropped] That's how it is.

[If only I had known back then] I learned this only recently.

Very recently.

Sometimes I look at real estate listings at home

even though I'm not planning to buy anything.

And my wife says

[Seok Jin's wife] "Why are you looking if you are not buying?"

But there's a reason.

Only if you keep looking now

- you can make more accurate judgments later. - That's true.

[Listen carefully] I think investing is the same.

[You need to keep studying investing] What stocks are, what funds are

[So you can build your own standard] you have to keep learning to form your standard.

You develop an eye for it.

He sounds like an expert, right?

- It's really bad. - A complete mess.

It's a total mess...

But that's why I can talk about this more comfortably.

- I'm someone who failed too. - After 4 years, haha.

[Recently returned as Ape Jee] He jumped into the stock market after 4 years.

[Bitter] It's dreadful now.

I was shocked.

[Whenever Ape Jee enters, the market freezes] Seriously...

Whenever he guys.

Only the stocks he buys turn like that.

I got completely wrecked during COVID.

- Right. - I sold back then.

Because there was no V-shaped recovery.

But then...

[V-shaped recovery: after a sharp drop] for the first time in 40 years

[the market rebounds quickly] there actually was a V-shaped recovery.

The stock he sold!

That's when I quit stocks, Dong Hwi.

[Real testimony] I quit for 4 or 5 years.

I said, "I am done."

[After being betrayed by the V-shaped recovery] "Jae Seok, from now on

[Swearing off the stock market] I'm never touching stocks again."

He cursed his heart out and quit.

And I just held onto the stocks I already had.

I didn't buy anything new for 4 years.

But I bought something recently.

[As of the filming date] The stock market

went over KOSPI 4000, right?

So then he finally

- made up his mind and jumped in. - I bought Stock A.

He bought Stock A.

[A stock that had been on the rise] It was doing really well.

A super hot stock.

- The day he bought it... - Minus 6%.

[-6 percent drop] It dropped 6 percent that day.

That very day.

[The curse of Ape Jee]

That day, on the way to the salon.

I was shocked.

It was a "Running Man" filming day.

I bought it on the way to the salon.

Is this some kind of Truman Show?

How does this even happen?

Oh? It's 6 percent again?

Wow...

Seriously!

It dropped 6 percent that day.

But why are you happy it dropped 6 percent?

[Finding joy in the number 6] The number 6 is fascinating.

Life is like this.

- You just have to enjoy it like this. - Just laugh about it.

I've lost my mind at this point.

[LOL]

I've been beaten down so much.

[Icon of positivity] Look at him being happy about a 6 percent drop.

Please, I hope at least you guys succeed.

The reason we are talking about this

is not because our returns are great.

We're saying this so you don't make the same mistakes we did.

We realized this way too late.

We're not saying, "Go invest right now."

[The key point is having interest] I keep saying you should take an interest because

Look at me.

When Tesla first came to Korea

I test-drove it and signed the contract right away.

[Testimony] He was probably the first celebrity to drive one.

I was almost the first to buy it.

I bought it as soon as it came out.

But back then, if I had been interested in stocks...

[Self-driving? An electric car that fast?] It felt like a whole new world.

If I had invested in that company

[Regret calculator clicking away] I ran the numbers, and it'd be 70 times by now.

Compared to back then.

I just never made that connection.

[Conclusion] That's why I'm saying you should take an interest.

- I hadn't changed my way of thinking yet. - I don't own a single share of Tesla.

Not even one share.

[Bittersweet] Not a single share.

- Do you not invest? - For now, I don't.

But Dong Hwi, you should start

- You really should. - I'm honestly planning to.

Not because someone tells you to

but after you actually study and understand it.

[No misunderstanding / haha] I'm not saying you should jump in right away.

But wherever Seok Jin tells you to invest you should not go there.

I should just do the opposite.

[Memo: If you are going to invest] Watch what he buys

[Ride the opposite wave of Ape Jee] and go the exact opposite way.

So does he never make money?

[XXX] That's not true.

I do make money sometimes!

He just takes a little and then...

[Cannot argue]

When he earns, it's about 10 percent.

[10% gains, munch munch] Just this much.

A light eater, a light eater!

Like this!

Hahahahahaha.

What am I, haha

some kind of bug?

[The light-eating investor, Ape Jee] Eating like that.

Like this.

There are not many people around me who succeeded in stocks.

Investing is not that easy.

[Dear Gyewon, please make it] I really hope you succeed.

Please do.

What we could not do...

[Coming soon] Jee Seok Jin's Economics Special Lecture.

[Instructor profile] Ajou University, Business Administration major.

He got in after retaking the exam.

[Honest confession] My investment situation is still bad.

[Failure is the mother of success] That's why he can say all this.

Of course.

I do make money sometimes too.

- Of course. - I sold really well recently.

I know that well.

You sold at around a 20 percent gain, right?

Over two and a half years, 20 percent.

[Losses were just a bit bigger] But the losses were like 50 percent, 70 percent.

Yes, that's true.

Anyway, he makes some fascinating investments.

[Agreed] It is fascinating.

They are all over the world.

Whenever I sell, the market flies.

[Flying wherever the stock is] You were even investing in Brazil, right?

Oh, I sold that already.

All over the world, seriously.

[Big player of global finance] He's basically George Soros.

Everywhere in the world.

[Jamwon-dong George Soros] He's an impressive guy.

I do have some stable investments too.

- I hold government bonds too. - He has government bonds too.

[For students' reference] But overall, he's still in the red.

That's true.

[Beginner lecturer's appeal] That's why I can say these things.

[Lecturer wishing students' success] I hope you win.

- Please. - Everyone.

- Win. - May you all invest successfully.

[Business Major Jee Seok Sam's Economics Lecture] So, to win, you need to take an interest.

[Chapter 1] You must take an interest.

[Interest builds judgment] To build judgment

[And then you can win in the investment market] you need to take an interest.

You really have to.

Anyway, as we kept talking

- As we kept talking... - we ended up talking a lot about economics.

It turned into a full-on economics debate.

But I still don't think I've lost yet.

But you lost a lot.

Yes, yes. I got beaten up badly.

[Someday, Ape Jee's market will come] But maybe one day, a good day will come.

One eye is basically black and blue right now.

If you ever do an economics show

- come back and do it here. - Exactly.

[Venue rental promise] Do it at my place.

This place is perfect for an economics show.

[Perfect as an economics lecture studio] Perfect, really.

[Jae Seok] Dong Hwi even looks like a full-time investor.

If the response is good

- we might do an economics special. - We'll try an economics show ourselves.

Since I'm interested in economics too

we'll try one without any experts.

We have a business major here.

- We do have a business major graduate. - What's the point of graduating?

Anyway, since we do have a business major

we will update it with recent news.

2026 Economic Outlook!

[Preview] That sounds fun.

["Non-expert Economics Special" surprise open] We'll try it ourselves.

That's gonna be hilarious.

[After all the chatting, it's time to say goodbye] We have really gone on for a long time today.

Don't forget to say hi to the kids before you leave.

- We have to. - We have to.

[Wants to show off] We should meet

[the cats, Saebyeok and Mora] the babies.

Can you show them to us now?

[Dong Hwi going to get the cats] I'll just open the door and...

- [Dong Hwi] Yong-nyong-nyong-nyong. - [Saebyeok] Meow.

[Saebyeok is greeting Dong Hwi nose to nose] Look at that. Look how she's rubbing against him.

Ohhh, Saebyeok.

[Trying to communicate with Saebyeok] Saebyeok.

[Jae Seok] She's so pretty.

- [Seok Jin] Oh, my. - [Jae Seok] Saebyeok, over here.

Ohhhh, so cute.

[Healing]

[Cool exit] Come out, come out.

Mora.

[Trying to communicate with the second cat, Mora] Mora.

[Mora: ...] Mora is a bit more...

- Shy? - She's kind of chic.

[Respecting chic Mora] Saebyeok, play, play.

[Following Saebyeok into the living room] Saebyeok, did you eat?

[Eyes locked] This is such an honor.

[Dong Hwi] Saebyeok is meeting Jae Seok now.

[Chic Mora finally appears] Mora, come out too.

Oh my, our Saebyeok.

- Oh, so pretty. - They're literally like babies.

- Such babies. - She's so gentle.

- [Saebyeok] Meow. - So gentle.

Saebyeok, roll over.

Are you... hehe

are you teaching Saebyeok tricks now?

Of course.

She understands.

Roll over, Saebyeok. Roll over.

[Proud owner] She can do it eight times in a row.

[Saebyeok living up to the owner's pride] Roll over, roll over. Good job.

It could sound like a new Party.

- Let's flip the world upside down! - Flip it upside down.

- Roll over Party. - Roll over Party.

[Leader of the Roll-Over Party: Saebyeok] Saebyeok is the party leader.

- As the icon. - The icon.

[Leader and members getting along]

- She really loves people. - She does.

- [Seok Jin] She's grooming herself. - [Jae Seok] Wow, that looks like a yoga pose.

[Just watching makes you laugh]

[Roll over] She's so neat.

[Mora also joins the Roll-Over Party]

- Mora, roll over too. - Roll over.

Roll over!

[A bit annoyed...] Roll over.

Hey, what's that...

[Eek] I was asking her to do this.

Isn't this super old?

- Like a grandpa playing with his grandkid. - Roll over.

With the cats coming out like this

- it really feels like a lazy afternoon. - It really does.

Yeah.

[Party leader scouting members] Sniffing around like this.

Hehehehe.

Does it smell like grandpa?

Hahahahaha.

[Running away before things escalate] That punk needs a beating.

- You need a smack, huh? - What?

[Happy after teasing] You want to get smashed?

[Mischief level up] What?

You want to get smashed.

[Dong Hwi's house is full of warmth] So much warmth here.

- Can I take a photo of you two with my camera? - Of course.

[Sure, why not, brother] Of course.

Take it.

- Looking at the camera feels awkward, right? - I'm going to look.

Don't look. I'm gonna look at Namsan.

You can't see Namsan though.

I can.

[Photo by Dong Hwi] Dong Hwi, thank you so much.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you, really, today was just...

- So fun. - It was fun.

We're heading out now, everyone.

Please don't fail like we did and make sure you invest successfully.
