Original subtitles

(Look at that cute sunshine.)

(It's leaking the leaves like a cute puppy.)

Mountain air is surely fresh, isn't it?

- Why would you do that? - Walk naturally. What?

Just walk naturally. Why would you do that?

I don't know. It means something to me.

- The first appearance. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. Good morning. - Hello.

- Lately... Wait. - Hello.

- What are you doing? - Hello.

I should say hello before we start.

- So that we can cheer up today. - I see.

(He's being playful from the beginning.)

Suddenly...

Do you know the number of master we're meeting today?

What's the number today? Ninth?

It's the 10th master.

It's the 10th already?

(Master in the House reached double digit.)

- It's really fast. - Before we meet today's master,

who's your real master...

for life?

The real master for life?

(Thinking)

(Who's my master for life...)

(who changed a question mark of my life to an exclamation mark?)

Lately, when I have a worry,

or when I'm not sure where to go,

Cheon Ho Jin gives me advice.

We met from work...

and got close.

We don't meet often, but when we do,

he gives me a lot of energy.

He looks very cold.

That's the impression I get from movies or drama.

That's not true. Once he accepts you,

he's very generous.

He says yes to any favor.

(He's a yes man to Sang Min.)

I used to be Yang Se Hyeong...

who made kids in the neighborhood laugh.

Park Seung Dae taught me...

how to make the audience laugh.

Also, Jeon Yu Seong is...

the comedians' comedian.

My life master would be...

Lee Sun Hee who led me this way...

when I was just a mere high school boy...

- with no dreams. - I knew you'd say that.

She asked me if I want to learn how to sing,

and that's how I started singing.

(Seung Gi's master as well as a savior who made Singer Lee Seung Gi)

I wonder how she stays young.

- Her voice as well. - She's...

someone I can never take after.

Everything she thinks about is whether something could be...

controlled and managed as a singer.

We don't really get along.

(We don't really get along in that sense.)

My life master is always...

- Kim Dong Ryul. - He knows...

- who you are. - I'm his fan.

- I see. - He's someone I'd like to meet.

Rather than a celebrity,

I think my father is my biggest master.

We talked a lot since I was young.

- With your dad? - Yes.

I have a few mottoes...

that are from my dad.

He told me many realistic...

- mottoes. - Like what?

You're only embarrassed for a moment,

but the gain will last forever.

(What?)

- It means... - Does your dad...

own a business?

- Let me explain. - Okay.

We used to try samplings a lot.

There were about four dumplings left.

After I tried one, I wanted to eat the rest.

I wanted it to bad that I didn't know what to do,

then my dad said,

"You're only embarrassed for a moment,"

"but you'll be full forever."

So I didn't hesitate to eat the rest.

Your motto is pretty shameless.

That's such a shameless motto.

(Seong Jae's secret of childhood is finally revealed.)

Today's master is...

one of the life masters...

you just mentioned.

(Candidate 1, Jeon Yu Seong)

(Candidate 2, Cheon Ho Jin)

Since it's the 10th master,

it must be someone big.

- Here's the first hint. - When we see the schedule,

- We'd know. - we'd know because...

- we know their daily routine. - But...

- Right. - if we don't recognize it,

- then it's not our master. - What?

What are you talking about?

Where are you from? From what clique?

- Are you from Chungcheong Province? - Goodness.

(When are you going to check the schedule?)

- It's been a while. - Let's take a look.

(Master's day)

Conserve.

- Saving? - Saving?

Now...

(Sleep, saving, first meal, conserve, last meal, invest)

The first meal is at 10am?

- That's too late. - Someone binge eating?

This person only eats two meals a day, brunch,

- and dinner. - Dinner.

I think it's someone who is on a binge.

(On a binge?)

- Binge? - Binge?

Who's on a binge?

Lee Sun Hee doesn't.

She's like another version of Venerable Pomnyun.

Lee Sun Hee is another version of Venerable Pomnyun.

I see.

Yes. Your stomach will become green.

(Green down to your stomach)

Conserve from 11am to 6pm?

- I have no idea. - Conserve?

Is it my dad?

Your dad conserves.

- It sounds like my dad. - He conserves.

He conserves in a store.

Does he eat only two meals?

- I think so. - Have one meal...

with samplings here,

and another one.

- I'm calling. - It's a phone chance.

(Followed by a phone chance)

Phone chance on the show is always fun.

- It's someone old. - Yes. It's the basic music.

Hello.

(He sounds familiar.)

Hello. We're Master in the House.

- Oh, yes. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Can we ask who this is if you don't mind?

- Me? - Yes.

I'm...

Jeon In Kwon.

Master!

(Their first master)

(It's Master Jeon In Kwon.)

- The way he speaks. - Master!

"I'm eccentric, so I'm real."

What are you doing in there, Master?

Did you have honey powder?

(1st shooting, 1st encounter, 1st master)

(It was so awkward.)

(It was so awkward that they couldn't breathe.)

(To youth who found everything awkward,)

(the first master was generous...)

(like sweet rice crust,)

(and honey powder.)

(Eccentric master, Jeon In Kwon...)

(who was there for the first time with the questioning youth)

(He answered the phone!)

(They're excited by Master Jeon In Kwon.)

- Master. - Master.

(I'm eccentric, so I'm real.)

(What are you doing in there, Master?)

(Did you have honey powder?)

My goodness.

Master. You know that we miss you so much, right?

- Yes, I know. - He knows.

- "I know." - I really missed you too.

Master, when we visit you next time,

do we have to eat honey powder again?

Of course.

I heard honey powder isn't exactly healthy.

Actually...

(What?)

(The voice is...)

(from outside the phone.)

(Is he...)

My goodness.

(Master Jeon In Kwon's surprise visit)

My goodness.

(The deity with honey powder, Goblin Jeon)

(I brought a bag because it was good and sweet.)

- Surprise. - My goodness.

- Unbelievable. - Awesome.

(They greet him.)

- Hello, Master. - How have you been?

(Long time no see.)

- Hi. - Look at that.

What's this on his hand?

- Let me see. - Where?

(This is for you.)

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

I suddenly heard his voice like a surround effect.

I thought the system really advanced these days.

It's honey powder.

Actually...

I think you can hang up now, Master.

- Oh, right. - The end button.

Have a seat. This is amazing.

This is amazing. I missed you.

- Yes. This is... - I...

I watched your show often.

Actually...

We...

(I can't believe this.)

When you were our master, you told us this.

"I'm eccentric, so I'm real."

I'm keeping it as my life motto.

I still live by it.

One day, he sent me a text message.

And just receiving a message from him made me feel good.

There's another thing we cannot miss. This yellow pouch.

It's honey powder.

He could've brought a new one.

- No. - He had to bring an opened one.

- No. - Right?

He's always got 3 to 4 new packs stocked up.

- It's great to see him. - I really cherish you all.

(That's why I brought an opened one.)

Since you brought it, why don't we taste it?

- Of course. - I remember the taste.

We need to recharge our blood sugar level.

If you take too much of it...

You are even using the same spoon.

No. It's not.

It's like Deja vu.

This looks too familiar.

It tastes great.

(5 months ago, the taste of the honey powder mesmerized him.)

(He tries to bring back the feeling.)

How can it be so familiar?

(This is the taste.)

I will give you just enough.

Doesn't it say that it's good for you?

(It's got a strange taste.)

If there is a debate on whether or not it's good,

just listen to the people that say it's good. If you take too much...

(He gets to experience it once again.)

(Am I already seeing the bottom of it?)

Thank you, sir.

It's different from honey.

(Seung Gi gets a mouthful too.)

It's so sweet.

(I still can't get used to the taste.)

I love it. It's nice and sweet.

He's not changed at all.

Wait. Wait.

We...

used the phone chance and called him.

Is he going to give us the hints and leave?

Right. I should go home.

I have to go.

(He's going to give them hints and leave.)

He lives just here.

- He lives here. - Aren't you busy?

I am a very busy man.

- He's busy. - He's busy.

He's busy.

I had to come and see you.

My gosh.

(He missed them, so he had to come.)

(They are happy to see him again after 5 months.)

(They are thankful for the master's love.)

(They have big smiles on their face.)

We were so happy to see him...

that we forgot about the hints he's going to give us.

(He was happier to see him than the hints.)

I was very happy...

to introduce you to her.

She's an amazing person who can have...

a great influence on our country.

(She's someone with a great influence.)

She...

used to be unbelievably popular.

How do you know her?

She helped me a lot.

- I see. - Really?

She helped me a lot.

Do you still talk to her?

- I don't. - Is that right?

You will find out.

That's understandable.

Do you know the person named Young Sung?

(Young Sung?)

(Who is he?)

- Young... - Young Sung.

It sounds familiar.

Do you know Yuk Young Sung?

(Do you know Yuk Young Sung?)

(It's Sung Jae's father.)

You are the only person I know whose last name is Yuk.

It's my father.

It's funny that he thought it sounded familiar.

"Do you know Young Sung?"

"It sounds familiar."

He's cracking up.

(It must've been another Young Sung.)

When we meet the master,

what should we watch out for?

You lost the weight you gained in the army, and you look good.

- Me? - Do I look less like a soldier now?

- A lot less. - I see.

Finally, I became a civilian.

Ask me the question again.

I will ask you the question again.

All right, now.

(He's the master variety show star too.)

When we meet the master, what should we watch out for?

Before we meet her?

She...

She's different when she's not singing.

(Singing?)

(What?)

She's a singer.

She's different when she's not singing.

(The two candidates are eliminated.)

Forget what I said.

(He soon finds out what he's done wrong.)

He wants us to forget what he said.

How can I forget it when we already heard it?

We already heard it.

(He's very flustered.)

We already heard it.

I didn't make him say that.

I asked a simple question.

(He was just asking what to watch out for.)

When she's carrying out...

her daily routine,

she's different.

Her voice is...

She speaks very quietly.

So...

if you talk loudly as you do with me,

she might be startled.

Wait.

(I can't say "she", can I?)

But we already heard it.

I can't say "she", can I?

(The master is a woman.)

But we already heard it.

- Wait. - We heard it.

Don't we have all the clues now?

- I think I know who she is. - Didn't you know...

- Isn't it obvious? - this was going to happen?

Didn't you know this was going to happen?

- They don't know. - As soon as he came...

- He said we don't know. - I knew...

He said we don't know. Only he knows.

(How can we not know?)

He told us everything.

They really don't know.

- Anyway, talk quietly. - Talk quietly.

That would be better.

Yes.

(Laughing)

Talk quietly.

I think I know.

- I think I know too. - You know it too, don't you?

(I know too.)

Since we seem to have an idea of who it might be,

give us a clue that will really confuse us.

She...

She has...

a big build.

Sir, I am not saying you should lie.

(They weren't asking him to lie.)

I'm not saying you should lie.

- That's not it. - Base it on a fact,

- No... - but give it to us...

in a different way.

- I... - I have no idea who it is.

She feels big to me.

- She feels big to you. - She feels big to you.

(Did he get away?)

That means she's small.

(It means she's small in real life.)

- No. - Wait.

(No.)

(He strongly denies it.)

When I said that, he looked at me like this.

(He was dumbfounded.)

"No."

Why were you dumbfounded?

I was so surprised. I mean...

He was too surprised.

She's really... She's really big.

- Is she big? - Yes.

You will look at her in awe.

(She's big enough to shock you.)

Does she look like she'd be good at ssireum?

That's...

Even if you are big, you could be bad at...

You should've just said yes.

- Right. Right. - Right?

If we do this a little longer, he will blurt out her name.

He will blurt out her name and then cover his mouth.

"Consider it unsaid."

All right.

Using those confusing hints, we will try to guess who she is.

We will be very surprised when we see her today.

You really will be.

Right. I have no idea who it might be.

(You will never know.)

- It's... - My goodness.

Just trust me and follow me. Follow me.

You don't have to be so confident.

No. No.

I will lead the way today.

- Should we put in the address? - Just...

That's not necessary.

(We don't need an address.)

- We don't need it? - We don't need it.

That's how confident you are?

Yes. To go there... Let's take this path.

I will be more precise than a GPS.

- Right. - That's how sure you are?

(You are sure, right?)

If there's no traffic, it will take about 17 minutes and 50 seconds.

Turn here.

You can head towards Yongsan.

(Seung Gi the GPS is on.)

Go towards the market.

(They drive towards her heart.)

We need to go around this.

Turn left here.

(If he's this confident...)

You're sure, right?

I will listen to you. I think you are right.

- Seung Gi. - Today...

No matter how annoying I get, just trust me.

- Is that how confident you are? - I am very confident.

- I trained at her place. - At her place?

That was before I debuted.

There are things to remember.

- I see. - What are those?

The way she lives life is...

(How would he describe her life?)

It's very different.

I think there's nobody in Korea who disciplines herself better.

She's got her own special survival method.

(She's disciplined, and she has her special survival method.)

(Survival method?)

I think we are going to be very hungry today.

Those will really fluster us.

(That's her style?)

It's been a long time since I stayed with her.

(He lived with her a long time ago.)

I am curious to know who it is.

(So is that how she is?)

You must know what to watch out for.

(He is 120 percent sure about who it is.)

Just be ready to give up many things.

(He confidently walks towards a place.)

- Is this really the place? - Yes.

(He hesitates.)

I haven't been here in such a long time. I'm nervous.

(He nervously presses the doorbell.)

- Is she in? - What?

Are we meeting her right away?

Master, it's me.

I am nervous, Seung Gi.

I am nervous too.

- I am nervous. - Should we stay closer?

Come here. Hurry.

(Come here and calm me down.)

I haven't been to her house in a very long time.

(At that moment)

(The master...)

(came out.)

(What?)

(Who is this?)

(Seung... Seung Gi... We must've come to a wrong place.)

(This person is...)

Your master just woke up.

She just woke up?

- She's getting prepared. - I see.

- Please wait in the living room. - Hello.

(At Seung Gi's life master...)

Here is very neat.

It's my first time to be here.

- So, here is the right place. - Yes. It's the right place.

I've been here... I'll tell you about it later.

This is a nice place.

- It's... - It must be scented candles.

This place is very clean.

(It's the first time to show Seung Gi's life master's house.)

It's really neat.

(The folk paintings painted by herself are everywhere.)

(They can glimpse the character of the master.)

It's very...

- Look at this. - This place is very neat.

(Amazing)

- Look at the Han River view. - Wait. Let me see that.

(A breathtaking view that can refresh your mind)

This is what we need.

This is what we need. This is it.

Can we see such a view even on the fourth floor?

- My goodness. - It's different...

from seeing it at higher places.

- It's great too. - I like it better.

It's really great.

It's like the river is closer here.

(While everyone is excited to look around the house)

(A person is lost in thought.)

(The familiar view out of the window...)

(and this space)

Not a lot of things are changed.

(14 years ago)

(He had a dream to be a singer.)

This must be a new thing.

(After a long time, he faced...)

(his start that has been lost in his memory.)

Can we just stay here at ease like this now?

I think we can just be here. Here.

- Shouldn't we be seated? - So, here's the right place, right?

- Seung Gi, are you sure? - I'm pretty sure.

- What about the fridge? - Why did you open the fridge?

- How come did you open that? - Come and look inside.

There are only vegetables.

- There's nothing else. - Come and see this.

- There are pears... - See? There's nothing to eat.

- The fridge is the same. - What's that?

What's that between vegetables?

There are avocados piled up.

There are too many avocados.

Look.

(Is the master eating only avocados?)

This house became much neater and prettier than before.

Is it the same as you remember?

It's the same. How it's arranged is the same too.

- It's really pretty. - Only this sofa...

Well, almost everything here is so familiar.

What's that table?

(Wait?)

(Surprised)

(Finally!)

(The master is here.)

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(The 10th master, Lee Sun Hee)

(She made her debut in 1984 Riverside Song Festival)

(The most beloved female singer in Korea)

(For 34 years, she's been the queen of concert.)

(The small giant on the stage)

(She found Seung Gi and taught him how to sing.)

(She's his singing teacher and the mentor of his life.)

Do you call a person like us a singer in North Korea too?

- Yes. - So, we're called as singers?

I hope you share your hearts together.

(She made South and North Korean audiences into one.)

(The national singer in Korea)

(Lee Sun Hee)

(Today's master, who has been in veil)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hi.

- I knew it. - Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. Hello. - Nice to meet you.

She's the one I expected.

(We all expected to be her.)

- Have a seat. - Yes.

- Please be seated. - I am...

I actually call her 'Teacher', but...

- Sit over there. - No, no.

Seung Gi, come over here.

Why are you being so shy?

- Since I'm so nervous now, - Really?

- I hope you can help me out. - Of course.

Nice to meet you.

(Soft voice, Nice to meet you.)

Hello.

(I'm honored to meet you.)

I've watched your show.

It's been a long time since I've visited here.

Actually, I used to live here together with her.

- Here? - Before I had my debut...

I used to live in the room there, practicing singing.

As I looked at the Han River view over there,

I remembered that I used to practice singing and dancing...

while looking at the night view.

Many memories from the past come to my mind.

(Can't you recall those days?)

Actually...

I think she's really nervous now.

(I can't recall anything because I'm too nervous.)

- Actually... - Yes.

(She's cute.)

- To have cameras at home... - Isn't it your first time?

I was so surprised too.

I told them before.

I heard you've never shown your house on TV before.

- I never do those things. - Not at all?

- I don't really... - I see.

enjoy those things.

For me, cameras being so close...

and filming my daily life...

You don't really like such things.

Things like cameras following you...

I still have a question mark in my mind.

Anyway...

(She's very nervous. And her voice is also low.)

I only trust you.

(I only trust you, Seung Gi.)

As I see you having a talk,

you sound like...

as if I'm turning up and down the volume constantly.

Actually, she doesn't really talk loudly.

Because she sings very loudly,

people think she might talk loudly too.

Are you speaking so low to save your voice?

That's right.

To make louder voice at once on the stage,

I have to...

save my energy.

This is incredible.

I save my voice to use it for the right time.

(The voice she used to save...)

(is emitted greatly.)

To make louder voice at once on the stage...

(That voice saved for many days...)

(is exploded at once.)

I have to save my energy.

- This is incredible. - I'm going to use it later.

(She's disciplined like Seung Gi said.)

I didn't do that at first.

As I start singing...

You kept doing this as time goes on.

Doing one job for a long time...

is like a process of practicing self-control.

That's a very hard thing to practice.

- Self-control is a hard thing. - She already taught us something.

She already made a wise saying.

If you give us too many wise words at once...

I feel hot now.

(This is embarrassing.)

I watched the show as a viewer.

When Sang Yun's side hair was being pulled out,

he tolerated that pain.

And I thought I might be very similar to Sang Yun.

It doesn't mean that Sang Yun has no sense of touch.

It's like feeling of breaking away from the body.

- Breaking away... - At that time...

- Due to the desire of winning... - I think I know what it is.

How about starting the game of pulling each other's sideburns?

Let's do that to each other.

- It won't be finished. - Pulling each other's sideburns...

- That wouldn't work, right? - It won't be finished.

We shouldn't do that, right?

(Yang Se Hyeong...)

- That's a warning. - A warning.

(A finger warning stronger than hundreds of words)

She really meant that.

She doesn't point out people.

- It was like "You". - "You"...

(Everybody is laughing.)

I think you're my ideal type.

Suddenly, you're declaring your love?

"Suddenly, you're declaring your love?"

I want to learn a lot from you.

Well...

Then, how about looking around the house first?

Look around the house? Okay.

I don't know what you would like to see.

- We're just looking around. - We're just looking.

- Okay. - But...

I'm so thrilled. It's like seeing a real celebrity.

This is so awesome.

It's said that...

you don't wear a skirt.

(My goodness)

Unless there's a special occasion,

I've never seen her wearing a skirt.

Look over there.

There are only blue jeans here.

- Look at that. - There must be about 30 of them.

(Here and there are pants.)

(Pants are all over the place.)

(A big fan of pants)

(Sun Hee's dress room is filled with comfortable clothes.)

And I can see that she has a lot of scarves.

- Here and there are scarves. - I didn't know they were scarves.

I always wear scarves to protect my throat.

- Even during the summer? - Yes.

There's one thing that matters when you wear a scarf.

It's hard to match with other clothes.

She really uses them for the purpose of protecting her throat.

- I'm not interested in styling. - Even if the colors don't match...

The fashion styles you wear are...

- what I really like. - They are conservative and plain.

I can even wear those clothes she has.

And they even look like that they might actually fit on you.

I think they might fit you perfectly.

Come on. Seriously?

I think your size is same as mine.

Let's see how they fit.

She tends to wear oversized clothes.

I think one of the jumpers might fit you well.

- I think... - That may fit you well.

I remember seeing you wearing that.

What if this is your size?

I don't think so.

(I don't think so.)

No way.

What's that?

No way. But...

What's that? It fits you well!

- It looks perfect on him. - It fits you so well.

When did I put it here?

It suits him perfectly.

- It suits me too well. - How is that possible?

That's even better than...

what he was originally wearing.

(It suits him better.)

I think you can go out like that.

- How can it fit me so well? - Buy it from her.

Can we see your bedroom?

- The bedroom... - We won't go inside.

There's nothing special.

(Sun Hee's bedroom is revealed for the first time.)

- It's pretty. - It's really lovely.

Can we see your bedroom?

- The bedroom... - We won't go inside.

There's nothing special.

- It's pretty. - It's really lovely.

(It's a sun-drenched, cozy bedroom.)

(It's very simple.)

It's really lovely.

(They are all gathered around the door.)

You love burning candles, don't you?

- Are we smelling essential oil? - It's essential oil.

- Essential oil. - Essential oil.

(While everyone is taking interest in the scent...)

Are you interested in physics?

Yes. I am obsessed with it these days.

- Really? - Yes.

How do you know? Oh, this book.

"Become an atom and go on a space trip."

(She's my type.)

I am sorry, but every room has a notepad and a pen.

Right. The notepad.

(Why does every room have them?)

I try very hard not to talk much.

- Do you usually write it down? - She writes things down.

Even when I talk to someone, I write it down and pass my note.

When I get up in the morning, I warm up my voice.

Until I am done with that, I don't talk.

After I finish that, I start talking lightly.

- Do you not have pillows? - I don't see pillows.

- I don't have pillows. - Why not?

- Do you not use pillows? - You sleep without them?

I don't use pillows when I sleep.

Is it for your vocal cords?

I tried it once, and I felt much less tired.

Since then I've been sleeping without the pillow.

I was surprised that...

she didn't have any wrinkles on her neck.

They say you get wrinkles on your neck...

when you use high pillows.

- Right. - Right.

Sometimes, I sleep like this.

(I sleep as if I am playing bobsleigh.)

Like this because my pillow is too high.

- My goodness. - Thank you.

It feels strange to show you my room.

It's so well-organized.

It looks like you can have a really good sleep there.

- Right. You will always sleep. - You will fall asleep very quickly.

- You'll fall asleep right away. - You will fall asleep so quickly.

This used to be my area of activity.

This is where I stayed.

From what I remember,

this is where Seung Gi stayed.

We used these two rooms.

I was really thankful to him.

Whenever people talk about Seung Gi to me,

I feel proud.

It makes me happy.

Is this a piano?

- Yes. - You bought one from Seung Gi.

- Right. - Seung Gi had a piano at home.

- A new one. - He...

- Is it the Yamaha one? - Yes.

Don't tell her that. She thinks I still play the piano.

What?

She thinks I still play the piano.

You recently sold it to Sang Yun.

Sang Yun wanted to play piano, so he sold it to Sang Yun.

He asked Sang Yun if he was interested...

in buying his piano.

I've never seen Seung Gi being so flustered.

You sold it to him.

- Why are you so flustered? - Why would you tell her that?

- Why would you tell her? - I didn't know.

She thinks I still play the piano.

He just sold it to Sang Yun. He's going to buy another one.

- You're going to buy another one? - No.

When Seung Gi decided to learn to play piano,

he worked so hard to learn a song.

- But... - Play it for us.

But strangely, all the teachers who taught him...

said he learned it the quickest.

I learned it quickly, but I quit quickly too.

(That's why you sold it quickly.)

He's very passionate.

(How long has it been since I last played it in front of her?)

This is my song.

- You play well. - It's "Let's Break Up".

Right.

Someone told me

(As if he's gone back in time,)

This part keeps repeating.

(he sings in front of Master Lee.)

Someone told me

(Master Lee harmonizes with him.)

Yes

(It was)

(Like that at the time)

(I don't know what's next)

(He's so funny.)

I forgot it

Sang Yun can't play it at all.

By the way, when she sang,

- it felt different. - It was nothing.

Because Seung Gi learned from her,

they seem to harmonize well. it was improvised, but...

- You are amazing. - That was great.

Play something.

- Play the guitar. - Can he play the guitar?

- I am not good at all. - It's...

I just know the codes.

(He's quite good.)

Standing in the middle of night

I can't see anything

(He's impressed.)

Where should I go Where would it be

(He starts to laugh.)

(He's shy.)

- You're great. - Why are you so shy?

- Why are you so shy? - You're good.

While I was singing,

I realized that Sun Hee was next to me.

(It's like sounding a gong in front of Venerable Pomnyun.)

- I am so embarrassed. - You surprised me.

- You are great. - When people do music,

they look amazing and serious.

I know how to play an intro.

An intro? For which song?

You play it. We will sing then.

I'm a big fan of Kim Dong Ryul.

- I tried, but it didn't work. - Really?

(How will Seong Jae perform?)

I only know how to play the intro.

(Sitting in front of the master makes him nervous.)

(Nervous, he makes a mistake.)

- I will do it again. - You play it well.

(The young artist is nervous to perform in front of his idol.)

Which song is this?

(It sounds familiar.)

- This song is called "Old Song". - What is it?

("Old Song" by Kim Dong Ryul)

I accidentally listened to a song from an old tape

He's good.

I was jealous of myself in the old tape

I will stop here.

- You are good. - That was great.

I practiced it alone.

I was going to copy him.

But this is all I had the time for. I had to leave.

He's amazing.

This is all I can do.

(He only performs shortly and goes back to his seat.)

Why don't you sing?

Why don't you sing?

(You want me to sing?)

- Which song? - This is an audition.

- Sing? - That was very unexpected.

I came in expectedly.

(She wants to listen to Seong Jae's singing.)

He's perplexed. "What am I supposed to do?"

(What do I do? I am in trouble. What do I do?)

I am so nervous.

Here we go.

(He's cute.)

(He's nervous to sing the song in front of the master.)

What do I do?

(I know that feeling.)

You say it hurts because you still love me

(He calms down...)

(and concentrates on singing.)

You say you're letting me go because you love me

You give such ridiculous excuses

What do you expect me to say

I guess I didn't love you as much as you loved me

I can't let you go because I love you less

(An audition is held...)

(at where the master's songs were born.)

I can't wish you happiness like a character in a drama

I don't have

such deep love for you

Thank you, Seong Jae.

I was so nervous.

- Seong Jae... - He is usually...

very bold.

- I was so nervous. - I can see that he's nervous.

(He was too nervous to sing in front of the master.)

- My voice got hoarse. - I know.

His voice has gone hoarse because he was nervous.

I can see that...

Seong Jae is someone who has a lot of thoughts.

I am.

How did you know? He's quite serious.

- What made you say that? - What made you say it?

While singing, he was thinking too much.

I want you to think less.

- Think less. - Just...

let it out. Don't think.

Just follow your voice.

- Yes. - Don't think.

It rains

(She even demonstrates it for him.)

And yet you try to go

Just sing casually.

By the way, she...

really saw through me.

You have to be more careless. Just let it go.

Actually, I haven't learned singing much.

It's the same for acting and singing.

I didn't really learn it.

That's why I arrived at this conclusion after thinking hard.

I thought emotion was everything to a song.

That's what I always thought.

- Right. - But at some point,

I realized that my emotions weren't real.

I was singing with made-up emotions.

I felt that I lot these days.

And she pointed it out today.

Being loose is the hardest.

Unfortunately.

- Harder than being meticulous? - Of course.

Letting go of what you have is the toughest thing.

It's not easy to let things go.

I should come here.

(Her lesson makes Seong Jae envy Seung Gi.)

(Sun Hee's lesson guarantees you to improve fast in a short time.)

- What time do you open? - I want to learn from you.

What time do you open?

You have a lot of students.

(She's taught Seung Gi, and you will be taught directly by her.)

You just have to loosen up. You have a lot of talents.

(As a senior artist, she gives him a warm advice.)

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- My gosh. - Should I sing that?

- Sing it. - Okay.

- Okay. - Why is it so hot in here?

(He's already blushed.)

I am not good at singing.

Which song do you like singing?

What do you sing at a karaoke?

I don't know any songs.

I usually sing the national anthem.

The national anthem?

(Error occurs. He's recalculating.)

Then...

I will sing a song I sang...

- at my fan meeting. - That's great.

That's great.

I will look up the lyrics.

This is so nerve-racking.

This is more nerve-racking than when I was about to dance.

Can you turn off the lights?

We are in the middle of a shoot.

Should we turn off the lights?

I feel like I am getting all the attention.

I feel much more relaxed.

(When the lights got turned off, he became confident.)

[Kocowa Ver] E21 Master in the House / All the Butlers "New Master Lee Sun Hee" -= Ruo Xi =-

(He clears his throat for a while...)

(and finally starts singing.)

Usually...

when people sing low, they sing with more power.

But don't do that.

When you sing high, you have to sing more powerfully.

(I don't get it either.)

No matter how hard I try to avoid

When you sing "avoid",

exert more power.

(He tries to understand it.)

No matter how hard I try to avoid

That's it.

I still hear it

Sing "it" weaker.

Do this.

I still hear it

- Make it fade away. - I still hear it

Yes. That's right.

His face was so funny. Did you see his face?

I still hear it

(Am I right?)

When you sing certain parts,

you should breathe with your abdomen.

I am too nervous.

I will give another go.

(He musters up his courage and gives another try.)

No matter how hard I try to avoid

I still hear it

We listened to the song so much

You are not crying, are you?

- He's going to cry. - I'm so nervous now.

- I will stop here. - He might cry, so let's stop there.

(Before he cries, the lesson ends.)

Singing is tough.

- Give me a tissue. - It's not easy.

Singing in front of her isn't easy.

This is Sang Yun's charm.

You can tell that he's excited about something...

and that he's nervous about something.

It can be a minus for him.

Revealing your emotion to other people is embarrassing.

But seeing him like that warms my heart,

and it touches me.

It's nice to have that as a singer.

But your vocalization is quite bad.

- He's the worst singer among us. - Right.

(In conclusion, he can't sing.)

Will you give him a private lesson?

(Will she give him a lesson?)

Why don't you do this then?

Do you remember that exercise, Seung Gi?

We tried singing children's song with emotion.

I remember that.

- Why don't we do that? - What's that?

(They are stirred by the word "children's song".)

You will sing a children's song like "The School Bell".

I suddenly remembered it.

Sing it in a rock version.

- A rock version? - It's been a long time.

So this is how you practice.

(Seung Gi's used to it, but it's new to everyone else.)

- Is this... - A rock version?

what you did?

Yes. I've done it before.

I think I sang "Calf".

This is such a new exercise.

You sing a children's song in a different way.

- Seung Gi will show us. - I have to do a rock version.

Why do you always need props?

It's a rock version.

I need a mic. It's rock music.

Can I lift my leg a little?

(Seung Gi gets a mic and lifts his leg to do rock music.)

Do whatever you like.

(Do whatever you want, Seung Gi.)

(Screaming)

Like this...

(I am embarrassed for him.)

(We all are.)

- I can't watch this. - My goodness.

(Seong Jae can't look at him.)

(The school bell is ringing)

Let's gather around

The teacher is

(Waiting for us)

(Screaming again)

(Master Lee's beloved pupil shows a perfect example.)

(He's clapping, but he's embarrassed.)

It got rid of the stress, didn't it?

- I think this is my music style. - Right.

Rather than trying to protect my vocal cords, I need to shout.

What is this exercise good for?

Whatever song you sing,

you are able to control the emotion.

- You can control it. - Right.

This is the song I am currently listening to.

- This is the song... - Okay.

I listen to in the morning.

- It's a recent song. - It's in your current playlist.

- It must be a recent song. - Okay.

(Is it a hip new song?)

(What?)

Are you practicing singing this?

It's got the gong sound too.

Do you listen to this all day long then?

(Se Hyeong is conscious of her.)

I don't listen to it all day long.

But these days,

I am starting to feel...

the power this music gives.

I am starting to understand the emotion it conveys.

I couldn't understand it before.

But now I can understand it.

(Feel the power of our traditional music.)

(The singing continues.)

She doesn't even run out of breath.

Is she a swimmer?

(It doesn't sound like it'll ever end.)

I'm sorry, but how many minutes is this?

- It's almost over. - It'll end soon.

It's finished.

(The end)

It's very nice.

It's a traditional poem, "Honorable Byuk Kye Soo".

Oh, it's playing again.

Stop. Please stop.

(He quickly presses the pause button.)

He was so quick.

By Kim Wol Ha.

(National Treasure, the late traditional singer, Kim Wol Ha)

When you just hear it, it can be very boring.

You may find it uninteresting,

but when you try to sing it yourself,

you'll feel something.

- Like what? - Something very...

(Her voice conveys certain sentiments...)

(through the weight it carries.)

- That's sort of... - My gosh.

I got goosebumps all over.

That totally woke me up.

- Gosh, it gave me goosebumps. - It surprised me.

I'm still learning this method of singing,

so I can't sing songs like this perfectly yet.

But when I sing it, it feels like a meditation exercise to me.

I like that, and that's why I've been listening to this a lot.

And that's why I'd like you guys to try singing it.

- Oh, this song? - Yes.

This poem?

(Pardon? This song?)

(But I'm not even a singer.)

Then what will you do for number one among us?

Will the person who sing it the best...

- Oh, really? - get something?

(Is there any prize for the winner?)

This is...

(Excited)

I'm not sure if you guys will consider this as a prize or not,

but I'm having a concert soon.

(My concert will be held in June.)

- Right. - I'll let the winner...

stand with me on stage at my upcoming concert.

- Gosh! - My goodness, that's...

(One of us will get to stand with Master Lee in front of her fans?)

(She's held some legendary concerts.)

(This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...)

(to sing with Master Lee at her concert.)

(Who will win this honorable opportunity?)

Gosh, that's... Will that really be okay?

Are you saying one of us will get to sing a duet with you?

- Yes, if you guys do well. - My, this is...

The person who wins the prize might die on stage that day...

while trying to sing with you.

Then would you like us to sing like you just did?

- Just do... - What's the starting note?

Wouldn't it be better for you guys to sing "Honorable Byuk Kye Soo"?

- "Honorable Byuk Kye Soo"? - Yes.

This is hard.

(Her pupil, Seung Gi, goes first!)

Good luck.

Honorable...

That was too high, wasn't it?

- Honorable... I should lower it. - It doesn't matter.

Honorable...

- It sounds the same. - It is the same note.

Why can't I lower it?

- Is it because I heard the song? - You can just sing it like that.

Rice cakes!

That's what I heard.

No, it was "Honorable".

Yes, but the notes were the same.

I'm sure they weren't. Shall I try again?

Dry cleaning!

It sounds the same. Try singing it differently.

Dry cleaners sure know how to sing.

I don't think it was bad, Master.

What I felt was...

Shall I say I didn't know where to go?

Just listening to it and singing it...

- are two very different things. - I know, right?

When I started singing it, I got scared...

after the first two syllables.

You don't see a path. The second you start singing,

you don't see anything. "Where should I go from here?"

I found myself asking that question.

But then, I started carving my own path step by step.

When I realized I was doing that,

it left this echo inside me.

I wanted you guys to experience that too.

I'm sure Seung Gi felt something as he was singing the song,

and I'd like you to experience it too.

You should feel it too.

- You should try it. - It's a whole different experience.

You don't see a path no matter how much you want to sing it.

You're a very emotional person, you know.

Your singing is loaded with emotions.

Try singing this song that way and see how hard it is.

(I'm more nervous than before.)

(On repeat)

(He's got some skills.)

(He suddenly drops his voice and raises it back up.)

(On repeat)

Remix!

- It sounded so hard. - I'm exhausted.

It's so hard.

But I must say, Seong Jae is still...

too young to understand this.

- He actually... - No matter what he does...

said "Honorable Hut Kae Soo".

(He said it wrong.)

I clearly heard it.

He said "Hut Kae Soo" instead of "Byuk Kye Soo".

He needs to be scolded.

Is he drunk or what?

He's definitely young.

He added an EDM-style flair to the traditional song.

(He mashed up the two genres.)

(His remix version of "Honorable Byuk Kye Soo")

(EDM party is on.)

- A mash-up between the two. - I see.

A merge between Eastern and Western music.

I felt like...

I hit my limits as I was singing.

I thought to myself, "Is this all I can do?"

I wanted to make a more diverse range of sounds, but I couldn't.

Gosh, I don't know what to say.

You're all professional singers, so I'm...

Why don't you give it a shot? Just sing it whichever way you want.

- Me? I'll be serious, then. - Se Hyeong.

- I'll be serious. - Okay.

Just let it all out.

(What will Se Hyeong, who's not a singer,)

(feel while singing the song?)

I feel like I'll regret the second I open my mouth.

I think I'll regret right away.

That's exactly how I felt too.

I felt like I'd be so embarrassed the second I open my mouth.

(Oh, no.)

I can't do it. I can't sing it anymore.

I wanted to sing the whole song, but I can't.

(I'm embarrassed for him.)

Aren't my ears red?

My ears must be all red now.

I'm such an idiot today!

I've done too many stupid things today. What a fool.

Hey, what was that at the end?

Was that intentional or what?

- I was just embarrassed? - You were embarrassed?

I was so embarrassed.

I shouldn't have done it.

I just wanted to experience it.

But I know this now that I've experienced it.

As soon as I started singing,

I was like, "Gosh, I shouldn't have gotten myself into this situation."

"I shouldn't have done this." But what's odd is that...

I couldn't just stop there.

It felt like I had to do it,

but then I came to my senses and stopped myself.

(He resorted to flaunting his cute charms.)

(He felt the change of emotions.)

Gosh, that was hilarious. It was really funny.

- But... - We should...

- Even I find it hard. - I see.

It's certainly not easy.

- It was great, guys. - Since we've all done it,

we shouldn't leave Sang Yun out.

He should try it too.

- Yes, he already sang earlier. - Exactly.

Sang Yun, it'll suit you especially with your stubble.

(His stubble just started growing.)

It's a totally new experience. You should try it.

- You need to transcend your limits. - All right.

(It's the best chance to go past your limits.)

There's something every week, isn't there?

You guys tell me to transcend my limits every week.

(Judging from his honest singing, he could be...)

Are you tone-deaf?

We know you did your best, Sang Yun. You really did your best.

It was sad at the end because your voice became so weak.

But your eyes looked like those of Kim Wol Ha.

- I know. - I don't think I like my voice.

I don't like how my voice sounds when I sing.

- I want to deny that it's my voice. - Why?

I just don't think it sounds nice.

- Your voice? - Yes.

I feel the same way about my voice.

- I don't like it. - Oh, really?

But your voice sounds nice when you sing.

- You think so? - It sounds much better...

- than when you talk. - I see.

When he was singing earlier... Was I the only one who felt it?

His voice sounds very gentle when he sings.

- It's a bit... - It sounds more sentimental.

- Very much so. I felt it. - Yes, you're right.

On the other hand, Sang Yun's voice sounds nicer when he talks.

You can train yourself to sing like how you talk,

but you're not doing that now.

You're the first person...

- Really? - to compliment my singing voice.

I think I should've moved on to "Soo" sooner.

- "Soo"? - I dragged out "Byuk Kye" too long.

- Did you just analyze that? - I didn't know what to do.

- Sang Yun. - I wanted to finish it, but...

I bet he analyzed every second of his singing.

I didn't know when to move on. I should've elongated "Soo"...

prior to moving on to the last syllable,

but I elongated "Kye" instead, which made it sound weird.

No, you just weren't listening to your own voice.

(She's soft-spoken,)

(but she can be brutally honest.)

You're absolutely right.

As a singer, it's important to keep up...

with the latest trends in music,

and you have to apply that knowledge...

to your own songs when you release new albums.

But if you can also apply what you felt...

through this exercise to your music,

it'll help you enrich the depth of it, and that's why...

- I wanted you guys to hear it. - But the thing is,

you said that the winner will get to sing a duet with you,

but will that even be possible? Does any of us seem promising?

Do you see potential in any of us?

Yes, I do see a little bit of potential,

but I'll announce the winner tomorrow.

Then please announce the winner right before we leave tomorrow.

Okay.

(In order to win Master Lee's heart,)

(they must awaken their potential.)

Go, Yang Se Hyeong!

(This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...)

(to sing a duet with Master Lee Sun Hee.)

How charming.

(Who's the charming guy chosen by Master Lee?)

To be honest, I know your lifestyle...

because I've lived with you,

but these guys' lifestyles are very different from yours.

This is the first time we're staying indoors the whole time.

I do like to stay home,

but not to this extent.

Frankly, I want to go to the Han River now and run around.

I need to let off some energy now.

I want to sweat it off or shout at the top of my lungs.

- People are on their wakeboards. - Really?

Sang Yun seems like a homebody.

(I think Sang Yun is like me.)

Yes, this is my style.

I knew it. I could tell.

I figured you'd be a homebody.

I perform very often, you know.

I'd be putting off what I want to do while preparing for my performances,

so I make a list of them. Then as soon as I can take time off...

- You'd do them. - Right away.

(They aren't listening.)

But you strictly hold yourself back during that time.

What are you guys doing?

When you were talking...

There's an app that measures volumes of sounds.

Right now as I'm talking, you see that it recognizes it as "talking".

But when you were talking earlier,

it recognized the sound of your voice as "quiet library"...

and "sound of rustling leaves" when it got quieter.

(It recognized her voice as the sound of rustling leaves.)

- Seriously? - Right now, it says "loud noise".

What about my voice?

So I make a list of them. Then as soon as...

I can take time off...

(Quiet)

(She laughs with no sound.)

(It's like ASMR.)

Do you enjoy being that disciplined...

because you're doing it for your music?

I'm not doing it because I enjoy it.

- I find it hard. - Really?

"Should I take it easy today and have fun with my family?"

"Should I go on a trip with my daughter?"

"Should I talk more with my daughter?"

Internally, I'm torn all the time.

Choosing to live your life that way must've been...

an extremely difficult decision to make. Are you happy?

(Are you happy about your ascetic lifestyle?)

I think I've been rewarded for all of my efforts.

So I'm... And you see,

how many singers are lucky enough to be in this position?

(Singers can't exist without listeners.)

I don't know how much longer I'd be able to maintain this,

but I don't want to be one of those who put on makeup...

in the middle of a meal and go on stage to perform.

If being this disciplined helps me perform better on stage,

I think that it's something I must do as a singer.

(I believe that it's my duty as a singer.)

(Her every second exists for her music.)

I agree that it's a singer's duty, but I don't think I can do it.

I think everything you're doing is so impressive, Master.

But I was just wondering...

So we have no plans to go out today, right?

I guess you want to go out.

- I'm getting sleepy. - I know, right?

I think we need to take a nap.

Go for a run outside.

(She won't go out.)

- It's okay. - We'll just stay in.

I'm actually getting a bit hungry.

- Same here. - We're hungry too.

- We get hungry around this time. - Really?

- There's a camera in here too. - Yes.

- It startled me. - You have to smile.

- Smile when you open your fridge. - Okay.

She seemed to be taking out a lot of things, but...

- There isn't anything special. - Everything is green.

- Is that fruit? - It's all rabbit food.

(It's all veggies.)

- You think so? - But they really are all veggies.

What's this? This container.

I avoid condiments that are too spicy, salty,

or greasy. I even rinse kimchi in water before eating it.

- Pardon? - Oh, really?

Why do you eat like this? For what reason?

I have a concert coming up in a month.

I usually eat like this before my concert to take care of my...

- You've already started? - Yes. That's why...

I avoid foods that are too salty or spicy.

I'm also very careful when I use my voice.

I try to conserve my energy for my concert.

- I told you guys. - Yes, I'm so impressed.

Her life is all about singing.

I can't really hear her voice sometimes,

so I'm paying attention to every word.

So far, I've heard everything you said.

Thank you.

Seung Gi always talks about how...

he ate nothing but salad when he was living here with me,

and I've felt bad about it.

- Seung Gi is a little... - So I prepared other things today.

- It looks great. - I hope you like it.

- Master prepared this for us. - It's a feast.

A feast.

(A plateful of greens and caprese salad)

(Wow, it looks very filling.)

You said you never prepare this much food for a meal.

Yes, it's a lot of food for me.

But you guys must eat a lot, so...

- Gosh, this is perfect for us. - You should eat a lot at that age.

- This is enough food. - It's definitely enough.

(Pretty lady who feeds us rabbit food)

Pretty lady who feeds us rabbit food.

It's all rabbit food.

Do you eat things that are good for the throat?

- Just ginger. - I see, ginger.

Whenever you remember to take it?

Whenever you remember to take it?

(Cracking up)

(She thinks that's funny?)

- She liked my joke. - It was a joke, right?

- Yes. - Is this the kind of joke you like?

- I like it. - I know 4,000 jokes like that.

- I love it. - It's the basic level.

(I should tell jokes like that too.)

When Master Lee used to train me back when I was in high school,

I always sat there when we were eating at this table.

- Here? - Yes, I always sat there.

Master Lee sat here.

Her daughter sat there, and me over there.

You could've come here only when you had training sessions.

Why did you live here?

- Didn't I live here for 6 months? - Oh, my.

I think... How should I put this?

I don't think she thought singing was the only important thing.

- That is true. - Things like...

your mindset and attitude as a singer...

are more important to her.

- Please eat. - Okay.

We keep asking you questions. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

- You recently visited North Korea. - Yes.

I've been so curious. How was it?

(Any behind-the-scenes stories from Pyongyang?)

- The ones from Mexico are the best. - Yes, they're the sweetest.

- When I was in North Korea, - Is it different?

I wanted to bring back something for you guys,

but I wasn't sure what kind of souvenir I should get.

(What did she bring?)

Oh, what is it?

"Sweet Ginseng Extract"?

- Is it an herbal tonic? - You brought this from North Korea?

- Yes. - Is it from North Korea?

"Kaesong Goryeo Sweet Ginseng Extract".

Kaesong Sweet Ginseng Extract.

(Kaesong Sweet Ginseng Extract)

This is my first time touching something from North Korea.

- This is so cool. - North Korea...

Can we really drink this, Master?

I just want to keep the bottle.

- Let's share one. - Okay, let's just open one.

- We'll share. - My gosh. I'll open this, Master.

Thank you.

- Se Hyeong. - Pay attention to the sound.

- It might sound different. - Don't spill.

I won't, of course.

It sounds different.

(It sounds different.)

(How exactly is it different?)

This is the same as what we have.

(This is the same as what we have.)

- It says, "One more bottle." - Does it really say that?

Of course not.

Ginseng drinks don't have that. You drive me crazy.

How are we going to get that free bottle?

"One more bottle on us."

(Come and get your free bottle.)

Imagine if it was actually written on the lid?

Guys, let's try it. You go first.

- Is it 100 percent ginseng? - I'll just taste it.

(Tasting)

(One more sip)

Don't drink too much. There's only 100ml.

It's good.

Gosh, hey. Why are you drinking so much?

25ml per person, okay?

Chill out. There's still a lot left.

I thought it'd taste like those healthy drinks, but it's very tasty.

It's very tasty.

Hey, you drank at least 35ml.

(This baby doesn't like the taste.)

What's this taste? This sour taste.

(Seung Gi is very curious.)

What the... Guys, it's empty.

It's not empty. Don't lie.

I'm not lying.

(From a few drops, he could tell...)

You know what this tastes like? I'll tell you.

It's like a mixture of ginseng and that vitamin drink.

- Oh, yes. You're right. - Aren't I right?

- You nailed it. - Did I? Okay, great.

- You really nailed it. - I should keep this bottle.

I watched the joint concert in North Korea.

I thought that North Koreans in the audience...

reacted differently when you were performing.

- Yes, I agree. - They couldn't be too excited,

but I could tell that they were familiar with your song...

and that they were loosening up a bit.

They definitely seemed enthusiastic from what I noticed.

(She's the best!)

- I really noticed it. - The response was all different.

Yes, totally.

I must say, they were very...

After the concert,

all performers and crew members had a party.

I guess you can call it an after-party.

Some of the North Korean staff there told me something.

They said I should take good care of myself...

(Please take good care of yourself.)

So that they can continue to watch my performances.

They told me that I should take great care of my voice,

and I said that I'm trying to.

They said they want to hear my singing for a long time,

so I thanked them.

(They hope to hear it again.)

I heard that South Koreans...

aren't allowed to have personal conversations...

with North Koreans when they visit.

All of us had conversations with them.

What? Really?

Did any of them say that you talk too quietly?

(My goodness.)

(I beg your pardon?)

Seong Jae, keep those thoughts to yourself.

Why do you think I'm leaning toward her like this?

Why do you think I do this when she talks?

(You must stay very focused.)

I have a story to share.

I recently had to participate in a reserve drill.

(Here he goes again.)

Most of the drill instructors...

are North Korean defectors who used to work...

in the Reconnaissance General Bureau or in the State Security.

(The instructor was a North Korean defector.)

The instructor told me something that really scared me.

He said that he initially came to Korea to kidnap me...

but ended up settling down here.

(I came here to kidnap you.)

(Come again?)

- Seriously. - He must've been joking.

It sounds like a joke, right? I asked him if he was joking.

(Seung Gi didn't believe him at first.)

But he said, "Why would I tell such a joke?"

Gosh, that's impossible.

- I'm serious. - No way.

He said that he came down to the South with that mission.

But that mission failed, and he ended up...

- becoming a drill instructor? - I'm serious. Hey, listen.

He used to be a soldier in Pyongyang. He came down here...

with a mission to kidnap me.

That was his mission? Even though many things would happen here,

he was given a mission to kidnap a South Korean singer,

- Lee Seung Gi. - Yes.

That's what you're saying, right?

If that's the case,

many high-ranking officials in the military must've had a meeting...

- to decide... - They gave the go-ahead.

Someone must've had to give a presentation...

- with your photos and information. - Of course.

They must've planned like that.

Yes, of course. He even knew about our show.

- They know everything? - They sure do.

- It can't be true. - You want a bodyguard?

(Even you don't believe me?)

Let me explain. These days...

That was your first reserve drill, right?

Drill instructors tell funny stories here and there...

to make the training fun.

He didn't say anything funny. I swear.

This is a funny story.

- This was his joke... - That he was going to kidnap me?

Other people laughed, right?

Because of how you reacted...

Others must've been like, "Gosh, does he actually believe that?"

- "What's with him?" - "He believes it."

"Why doesn't he get the joke?" I'm sure others thought that.

I'm dead serious. You all think I'm kidding now, don't you?

Post about it on your social media.

Tell your followers, and if anyone was there that day,

- ask them to message you. - Gosh, come on.

That was exactly my reaction when I first heard about it.

I was like, "Gosh, no way. Why me?"

"Why would they kidnap me?"

"What on earth can I do there?"

But...

I asked him again. I was like, "Were you really told to kidnap me?"

And he said yes.

(He got the mission!)

I asked him again the next day.

Spare me a second, Seung Gi.

- Come here. - You guys are driving me crazy.

- Come, just for a second. - Gosh.

I should've asked him for his business card.

(He needs a reality check.)

I'm not making it up.

Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are? Hey, look at my eyes.

- Why on earth would they do that? - I don't know!

To them, you're a nobody!

I need to get kidnapped to prove that I'm not making it up.

(Right at that moment)

(Someone rings the doorbell.)

I think we should do that.

My friend was supposed to come by today.

- Your friend? - Yes.

(Who's this special guest?)

(Is this surprise guest here to turn the tables?)

(Partying it up)

(Why didn't you come sooner?)

(Who's the surprise guest...)

(that made their fun energy explode?)

(Fun times are over.)

(The war to become her duet partner begins now.)

(The fierce battle...)

(to stand by Master Lee's side)

(Will she pick her beloved pupil, Seung Gi, as her duet partner?)

(Her talented new pupils...)

(launch an attack against Seung Gi.)

Do you know what it feels like to lose after doing your very best?

(And)

(Master Lee's mini concert...)

(where she filled the entire forest with her voice alone)
