(My Star awaits at an apartment on Mapo-gu.)
From here,
I can see what's happening in Korea.
I always read an English newspaper...
and drink a cup of espresso here.
These clothes aren't very pretty, are they?
(My Star of the day, Kim Won Hun)
I'm a Gen Zer,
but today...
I don't have the Gen Z vibe at all.
What should I do?
(Torn)
I need to show those old men...
what kind of a person I am.
(I need to show them what kind of a person I am.)
(He debuted as a KBS comedian through open recruitment in 2015.)
(He's runs "Shortbox," a channel with 3.7 million subscribers.)
(Every content he films becomes trendy.)
(The crown prince of YouTube)
(Hitting)
(His success rate is 100 percent when it comes to laughter.)
Just film YouTube videos in Japan.
Don't ruin the atmosphere here.
(He is a popular all-around player...)
(who does well on every platform.)
(The comedian of the year, Kim Won Hun)
The flowers add to the atmosphere.
They're pretty even when they're dried up.
They're dried flowers.
Well,
I just scatter things...
around the house,
and the interior design becomes perfect like this.
(Meanwhile, at the parking lot)
You're wearing a pretty jacket.
(He came to work wearing a warm padded jacket.)
You should buy one.
(You should buy one.)
It suits you well.
It's perfect for the current weather.
All of you should buy one.
(He highly recommends it.)
Are you looking forward to today's shoot?
Not at all.
Today's shoot...
will be your big mistake.
(This secretary cares a lot about My Star's gender.)
Today's celebrity...
is the worst.
(Today's celebrity is the worst.)
Can you say those words in front of Won Hun?
What makes you think that I can't?
What makes you think that I can't?
Don't do that.
(I need to protect My Star.)
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm Kim Won Hun's manager who will help...
with the transfer of duties, Jo Tae Kwon.
- Hello. - I'm in your care.
Today is...
an important day where he'll film for "Shortbox."
(2pm, Short-form drama shoot at a middle school)
(He'll film for "Shortbox" today.)
So that his energy will remain high,
please refrain from making a cliched comment...
or a boring joke.
- The two of us? - That's right.
We don't do that.
Don't worry.
Secondly,
being a comedian...
makes him tell mischievous jokes to his managers.
Please don't become sullen or angry.
I'll be grateful if you respond in a witty way.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Also, - Anything else?
This is the company card.
- Please don't forget the receipts. - Okay.
Don't forget the receipts!
Why are you making a fuss in front of Won Hun's manager?
Do it once he's gone.
- Don't forget them. - Okay.
- All right. - Anything else?
I think I've gone over everything.
- Really? - Please remember those three.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Yes.
Please hold my bag.
(Please hold my bag.)
(Won Hun begins playing around 1 second after meeting them.)
I have a hot pack right here. It's cold, right?
Thank you.
(He holds out a hot pack and takes it back.)
(He feels attacked.)
(Acting natural)
This is a wig...
- he wears for "Yijin." - Okay.
He always carries it around.
(A wig?)
- It's... - What is it for?
On my YouTube series,
I play a high schooler.
This is a wig I wear for that series.
I always carry it around...
because I don't know when I'll need it.
Isn't it...
- It's... - too dishevelled?
It looks fine when you brush it.
Really?
You wouldn't know.
You haven't brushed hair before.
(Joking)
(Laughing)
I get it.
I get what you mean.
(As forewarned, My Star is mischievous.)
The thing is,
- I joke around a lot. - Okay.
Please don't be offended.
I'll be grateful if you keep the energy level high.
- Okay. - Yes.
Don't bring down the atmosphere.
- Okay. - Okay.
The atmosphere is down.
(The atmosphere is down already.)
- Is your nose better now? - Yes.
What about your nose?
- I read an article about it. - What happened?
- Extraction. - Yes. Your skin treatment...
went wrong.
My skin treat didn't go wrong.
Because of extraction,
- my nose turned red. - What's extraction?
- Extraction. - I don't know what it is.
Pimple extraction.
- You had a pimple. - Yes.
I read an article about your nose.
- Your nose is very big. - You're right.
- And it's still red. - You're right.
His nose...
My nose is pretty big.
I think...
- it's swollen. - Yes.
- It has become bigger. - Yes.
Bigger? This is our first meeting.
- It looks fake. - No.
I'm not wearing glasses with a fake nose.
That's what it looks like.
A little bit.
Is your birthday January 30?
Yes, it is. How did you know?
I looked it up earlier.
It's January 30.
What has gotten into you?
I looked it up upon arrival.
We have the same birthday.
- Is your birthday January 30? - Yes, it's January 30.
That's very fascinating.
(He found something he has in common with My Star.)
Which broadcasting station's open recruitment did you pass?
- KBS. - KBS. Which term?
I'm from the 30th term.
(Comedian from the 30th term of KBS' open recruitment)
KBS comedians are the best.
KBS is like...
- the Seoul National University. - That's right.
- SBS and MBC are... - Were you on "Gag Concert?"
Yes. I was on "Gag Concert."
I love "Gag Concert."
"Omok Gosiwon."
"Omok Gosiwon?" I don't know what it is.
"Must-Stop Visits."
"Hello."
Back then...
You were on "Gag Concert" when it was going downhill, right?
- That must be it. - Right?
"Gag Concert" was going downhill.
- A little bit. - That's why I don't know the skits.
It wasn't going completely downhill.
- It was a bit of a slope. - Then the show got cancelled.
- Yes. - Then "Gag Concert" got cancelled.
I didn't cancel it.
You were on it when it was going downhill.
You began a YouTube channel when the show got cancelled...
and turned your life around.
I watched "Intimate Strangers..."
about 20 times.
- Really? - I love the movie so much.
I especially loved the car scene.
"Honey, I really want to do it."
(Making a mischievous joke)
"Honey, I really want to do it."
That scene made me think,
"Does he really want to do it?"
Your performance was so great.
It almost caused an accident.
(Annoyed)
It was so realistic.
I should watch "Intimate Strangers" again.
It's my first time meeting...
the two of you.
I know. How did we not meet before?
I'm a part of the YouTube channel titled "Shortbox."
I contacted you about two times to invite you to the channel.
- Really? - Yes.
I didn't get a call from my office.
But you said that you wanted 10,000 dollars.
We couldn't do that for a YouTube video.
(Flustered)
Kwang Kyu, you asked for a lot.
I thought, "He gets paid more than I expected."
- This is news to me. - What?
This is news to me.
You couldn't fit it into your schedule,
- so you turned down the offer. - I'm sure of it.
I'd take the job for gas money.
Please pay a visit when you have a chance.
Of course.
What's "Shortbox?"
- "Shortbox?" - What is it?
- Well... - Is it similar to short-forms?
(An innocent and brutal question for My Star)
It's a YouTube channel that's run...
by three comedians.
- Is that the name of the channel? - Yes, it's "Shortbox."
(3.7 million subscribers)
(1.3 billion accumulated views)
(The YouTube channel is loved for its relatable contents.)
Who are the two other comedians?
- There are Cho Jin Se... - Cho Jin Se?
And Eom Ji Yoon.
Will you film for that channel today?
A "Shortbox" shoot is scheduled for today.
Where are we going now?
Our office.
To prepare for the shoot,
we get props...
- and camera equipment. - The "Shortbox" office?
Yes.
Let's go then.
(They hit the road for the "Shortbox" office.)
Get in.
- Shall I ride in the back? - Of course. You're the star.
(You're My Star.)
Thank you.
(Even a male star gets escorted perfectly.)
We prepared a special vehicle for a special My Star.
You know this vehicle, right? There are no side-view mirrors.
- Do you look at the screen? - You look at the screen.
That's incredible.
(How is the backseat for My Star?)
(There's a massage function for My Star.)
I'm in your care today.
(Wary)
We're in your care.
Of course. You're a popular celebrity.
Kwang Kyu.
(The atmosphere is down already.)
- Did you fasten your seatbelt? - Yes, I did.
Here we go.
Please be understanding if I play around.
Of course.
(Wary)
The seat is comfortable.
(He attempts to start a conversation.)
- There's a massage function. - Where?
- I want to get a massage. - Look for it in the back.
- Look for it. Is it working? - It's working.
It's working, right?
(Exclaiming)
It only works in the backseat.
This is insane.
(This is insane.)
- I'm receiving a massage. - Really?
Yes.
(Unenthusiastic reactions)
Take a nap.
(Didn't we just begin shooting?)
I really enjoy watching My Grumpy Secretary.
When I was a viewer, the secretaries seemed so cheerful.
Everyone looked so happy. Now that I'm My Star,
I feel like I'm floating alone...
in the vast universe.
Was Su Ji's episode fun?
- Su Ji? - It was the most fun, right?
It wasn't fun for us.
It was fun for the viewers.
We don't know much.
My sexy body is rare in Korea
My body is my weapon.
(The unusual concept left him feeling confused.)
Your body is your weapon?
It was fun for the viewers.
(I see.)
I'll become absorbed in a concept from now on.
- You don't need to do that. - Still,
viewers like that.
For goodness' sake.
- Do whatever you want. - That's right.
Do whatever you want, but...
Look ahead when you're driving.
(He takes on a new persona.)
When you're driving.
I see. Is that his concept?
- Look ahead. - Is that it?
When you're in the passenger seat,
you should help the driver.
You should give him the next destination...
and tell him how many meters he should go before turning right.
You shouldn't just sit still.
I can't explain every small thing to you, can I?
(They don't know how to react.)
You've filmed multiple episodes of My Grumpy Secretary.
You know,
he won't be able to drive if I keep interfering.
(Giving a boring reaction)
(The reactions are neither fun nor touching.)
- We're in Hongdae again. - You're right.
We came here to eat with Su Ji.
You're right.
- Su Ji lives in Hapjeong too. - Yes.
Is Su Ji your senior?
Yes. She's a senior by three years.
Of course, she is. She's much older than him.
But Won Hun looks old too.
You too.
(Laughing)
It was nice.
Won Hun has good comments.
"You too."
(My Star keeps the secretaries on their toes.)
My goodness.
Have you never watched "Shortbox?"
- "Shortbox?" - Yes.
It's our YouTube channel.
- It's... - How long are the videos?
- Each video is about... - About 8 to 10 minutes.
- About 8 to 10 minutes. - I've watched it many times.
Between 7 and 10 minutes.
(He looks it up belatedly.)
"Pre-Grading Mock Exam?"
- That video was uploaded yesterday. - Is it the most recent one?
- You saw a wig earlier, right? - Yes.
- I wear it to play that character. - Is this the series?
Will you do it or not?
Will you do it or not?
Seo Jin. Will you do it or not?
- What's that? - Will you do it or not?
- "Will you do it or not?" - Will you do it or not?
- "Will you do it or not?" - Will you do it or not?
(Do what?)
It'll be awkward not to do it.
(My Star's catchphrase)
That's a catchphrase young people copy these days.
(You don't know it, do you?)
They don't know the YouTube channel I'm running.
They don't know who I am.
Grabbing someone...
on the street to be my manager would be much more...
(He can't even finish his sentence.)
Haven't you watched "Long-term Relationship?"
Is that on "Shortbox?"
It's what made "Shortbox" big.
- "Long-term Relationship?" - Yes.
The first video we uploaded...
got 18 million views.
(The first episode of "Long-term Relationship")
The following 3 to 4 videos of "Long-term Relationship..."
got over ten million views.
We got one million subscribers in a month.
(They got 1 million subscribers in a month.)
If you enjoyed the videos, please like and subscribe.
Okay.
I'll press subscribe.
(1 more subscriber)
I need to boost my energy...
before filming for "Shortbox."
Gen Zers like our contents.
Do you know the terms Gen Zers use?
No. Teach us.
One example is...
GMG.
GMG? It sounds familiar.
- GMG? - G.
GMG.
Do you think it's DMZ, Demilitarized Zone?
- I know what DMZ is. - DMZ?
- DMZ. - I know what DMZ is.
GMG and HMH.
HMH?
- HMH. - Those are...
the two terms young people use often these days.
GMG.
(They don't have a clue.)
HMH.
I'll give you a hint.
"Hey, do you want to go on a day trip today?"
"GMG!"
GMG?
(Generation X members don't have a single clue.)
For goodness' sake.
GMG means, "We can go."
- "We can go." - "We can go."
Does HMH means, "We can do it."
That's right.
You're fast.
(Jealous)
Do you know what TMS means?
- TMS? - Yes.
Let's say...
I go shopping.
I see a product and go, "TMS!"
(This is TMS!)
Totally my style.
Correct.
You learn fast.
(Despite being from Generation X, he gets used to the Gen Z terms.)
I was focused on driving.
Would you have gotten them right...
- if you weren't driving? - Of course.
I can't multitask.
Kwang Kyu, is your idea of a new term...
something like "MFR?"
What? MFR?
Was it "Meju that fell from the rooftop?"
Correct.
It's an old term.
It's a term...
- from the 80s. - That's right.
Weren't there a few other terms?
There were many.
One of the short forms from the past is CBS.
CBS?
It's very old.
- CBS. - What was it?
CBS.
- C... - CBS?
Charging a bus card.
That's right.
(Frustrated)
(I can't communicate with them.)
We aren't from the generation that used bus cards.
We used tokens and tickets.
- You used tokens. - Yes.
We used tokens and tickets.
- We didn't use bus cards. - People smoked...
on the bus back then,
- right? - That's right.
They sold separate cigarettes and matches...
at a bus stop back then.
Were there bus attendants?
There were at first.
- That's right. - They sold a combo...
of a cigarette and a match.
Kwang Kyu, how were things...
during the time of enlightenment?
- The time of enlightenment? - Yes.
Things were tough...
because of Japanese people.
Did you see the March 1 Movement...
that was led by Yu Gwan Sun?
I was asleep when it happened.
- You were asleep. - So I couldn't see it.
That's right. I was asleep.
(They started with GMG and reached the time of enlightenment.)
Won Hun, you were born in a nice period.
(My Star and the secretaries are worlds apart.)
(They're near the "Shortbox" office.)
To go to the office,
you need to park on the left side.
- Here? - The left side.
Okay.
They get nervous.
- Is this an electric car? - It's an electric car.
It's no wonder it's so quiet.
Get closer to the wall.
Shall I go in further?
Kwang Kyu, you need to leave some space for me.
Of course.
We're here.
Even if you need to get out from the sunroof,
(The sunroof?)
give me more space.
- On this side? Okay. - Yes.
If there's no space, get out through the passenger seat.
Isn't there enough space?
- What? There's enough space. - Take a look.
- It's too tight. - Is it too tight?
It's too tight.
(Tight?)
- Is it too tight? - It's too tight.
- Shall I park again? - It's too tight.
- Get out. - Shall I do it again?
- It's too tight. I can't get out. - You can.
(Flustered)
- Hurry up and get out. - How am I supposed to do that?
I barely got out.
(He still can't get used to the concept.)
- For goodness' sake. - Gosh.
I'll ride a taxi instead.
(Method acting)
What's the use of having a nice car? The driver is no good.
Kwang Kyu.
Kwang Kyu, this is a parking space...
for three cars.
If you park at the front, do you expect people to park...
by dropping the car from the sky?
I parked the car like this to give you more space.
You need to back the car more...
to give room for other cars.
What will you do if people in the office complain?
All right.
Why are they so slow?
Time is money and life.
You can pass.
Okay.
(Polite)
Kwang Kyu!
What are you doing?
How do I turn off the engine?
Kwang Kyu, give me some mouthwash.
- Kwang Kyu, is it in the car? - What?
- My mouth feels dirty. - Mouthwash.
I have it.
(He's all over the place.)
Put it in my hand.
Kwang Kyu, I want some mouthwash.
You're so impatient.
- We don't have much time. - Okay.
It's almost time for the shoot.
(Rinsing his mouth)
(Satisfied)
(Chuckling)
Kwang Kyu, take bigger steps so that we can hurry up.
Seo Jin, hurry up.
(They have no choice but to follow him.)
Shake dirt off of your feet.
(Shaking off)
- Seo Jin, I'm sorry. - What? It's okay.
- Do what you want. - That's right.
- Do what you want. - I'm staying quiet...
because I don't know how to react, okay?
That's right.
- You should show reactions. - Okay.
- I don't know what to do. - Okay.
What kind of reactions am I supposed to show?
I'm flustered too.
- We just don't know how to react. - That's right.
Press the button for the third floor.
(He changes his tone.)
(His gets into the concept once more.)
(He becomes wary again.)
Then...
This is our office.
- Here? - Yes.
We use the 3rd and 4th floors.
(This is the office of the YouTuber with 3.7 million subscribers.)
This is our office.
Gosh, what's this?
This is where we edit the videos.
That's...
where we have meetings.
How nice.
Gosh, what's this? Silver and Gold Play Buttons.
You received both of them.
- We... - I've only heard of it.
- Gold Play Button. - Gold Play Button.
For one million subscribers.
(Gold Play Button is the symbol of 1 million subscribers.)
(For passing 1,000,000 subscribers)
We run "Shortbox" as well as...
- What's "Ukimpyo?" - "Ukimpyo."
- We run two YouTube channels. - Two?
This channel has about 280,000 subscribers.
This channel has about three million subscribers.
Now, we run two channels.
Take a look at the plaques as well.
Here.
(They're forced to look at the plaques as well.)
These are the awards...
we've received at the Busan International Comedy Festival.
This is from the Brand Awards.
(He sweeps various comedy festivals.)
(With his popularity, Kim Won Hun is a brand in and of himself.)
You haven't received the Grand Prize from the Brand Awards, right?
- No, I haven't. - Do you want to touch it?
I think I've seen him on "Gag Concert."
You're right. I run the channel with him.
- He was on "Gag Concert." - Yes.
You can see the members in the photo behind you.
The three of us work together.
(The "Shortbox" family is coming soon.)
What are you going to do now?
I need to get ready for the shoot.
- Props are on the fourth floor. - Okay.
Here.
- Props are in here. - Here?
What are these?
Do you make them yourself? Why are there so many props?
(Props are piled up.)
We film and edit the videos ourselves.
- Really? Who films the videos? - Yes.
We direct the videos...
- at the location. Yes. - Do you do it yourself?
Do you film the videos I've watched earlier yourself?
That's right.
- Do you act and film? - We act and film.
There are three directors.
Jin Se and I take care of the angles.
For the full shots, 1-person shots, and 2-person shots,
we give directions.
(Script meeting for "Shortbox")
We write our own scripts.
- Jin Se plays a timid character. - You're right.
- Okay. He'll read the room then. - Yes.
Shall we zoom out instead using a tight shot?
We give directions during the shoot.
After the full shot,
we need a shot of the flustered facial expression.
For this, I need to...
All right. Go.
We act ourselves.
Cut.
- Okay. Cut. - We have meetings for editing...
- and watch the videos together. - Cut.
Hold on.
There are no other directors.
(Surprised by the production environment)
- That's right. - I see.
You guys do all the work.
It takes multiple meetings to get such ideas.
Turning ideas into scripts...
require planning...
and writing.
They also need to think about continuity...
before filming.
It takes so much work.
He's successful because he works so hard.
We need to wait for the car to get here...
to move the equipment.
There are so many items in here that we don't use.
- In here? - Yes.
I thought hard about what to do with them...
and decided to sell them on Daangn.
(Daangn, a marketplace for used goods)
These items?
There are a few items here.
- Will you sell them? - These are the items...
I want to sell on Daangn.
Carrier, camera...
- What's this? PlayStation? - Yes.
Kwang Kyu, do you know how to do it?
Do you use Bunjang or Daangn?
I do use them.
How do you do it?
- What? - So...
if you guys upload these items,
I'll give you five percent of sales.
- Five percent? - Yes.
This is new.
There are clothes too.
These are clothes we don't wear.
If there's anything you want...
This is new.
Kwang Kyu, I'll style your outfit today.
- What? It's okay. - Kwang Kyu.
Why don't you wear warm pants?
- It's okay. - Kwang Kyu.
(Rummaging)
Kwang Kyu, you'll look cool in these pants.
(White jeans with blue paint for My Star)
Kwang Kyu, you'll look cool in these pants.
Seriously.
I don't think it'll fit my waist.
The size fits a 32 to 33-inch waist.
- It's too small. - It suits you.
- Here. - It's too small.
I think this one suits you.
Recently, I...
(He tries it on.)
You totally look like Shin Chang Won.
You look so cool.
Seriously.
You look so cool right now.
The colours are great.
It has all of your personal colours.
- Really? - Yes.
I'll wear it if that's what My Star wants.
If you wear this, you won't get hit by a car.
- But... - Why not?
- You'll stand out too much. - I see.
- Kwang Kyu, aren't your pants cold? - You look so cool.
They're a bit cold.
A boxy fit is in vogue these days.
- Okay. But these are... - The blue stripes stand out.
But... These?
- I'll try them on. - If you wear these,
I think the sales of them will soar.
- These pants... - A photo of you wearing them...
We should take a photo of them while you're wearing them.
(He changes into the pants right away.)
- I feel like I'm giving them away. - Exactly.
Unexpectedly, they fit me.
Unexpectedly, they fit me.
- Oh, my. - Unexpectedly...
- They fit me perfectly well. - Kwang Kyu, you look great.
I admit it. These are made for me.
- You look amazing. I mean it. - I'll buy these pants.
The colour...
hurts my eyes so much right now.
If you need a blue screen,
you can pose in front of these pants.
(The human blue screen)
You really look good in them.
- But... - Kwang Kyu, I think...
you can wear them all day long.
- I'll wear them. - Okay.
Then Kwang Kyu, I'll sell your pants.
But these pants...
They look nice.
These pants...
- Seo Jin, you gave these to me. - Yes.
- Put them in this bag and carry it. - Right. Okay.
I must say, these pants...
- I really... - They're nice, right?
I really like them.
(I like these pants so much.)
I tried them on just in case.
I mean, I intended to look funny.
- I wanted to make My Star laugh. - I see.
So I tried them on.
But I was really impressed...
They made my legs look so long.
I thought,
"Were my legs always this pretty?"
(Were my legs always this pretty?)
I thought these were made for me.
You could attend Fashion Week right now.
- I mean... - When you walked out,
I saw a shiny light behind you.
- Really? - The light is even brighter now.
(The light is even bright now.)
All right. By the way,
- did you paint these blue stripes? - Yes?
- Or were they designed this way? - One of the contractors...
wore these pants when he worked in here.
- Oh, really? - He got some paint on the pants.
Really?
He accidentally painted on them with a roller.
I think this cardigan comes as part of a set with the other one.
- Yes, it comes with this one. - I mean, these two cardigans.
- Sorry? - Take it off and put this on.
Oh, really? Shall I?
Kwang Kyu has a well-proportioned body.
It's not as bad as people think it is.
Kwang Kyu, I'll give you this one too.
- You don't have to. - Kwang Kyu, you should...
- Take it while the star offers. - All right.
- I should take My Star's gift. - You look flashier in this.
- Oh, my. You look insanely good. - Right.
This one makes you look flashier.
- Because it has blue on it. - It goes better with the pants.
Kwang Kyu, you look dashing right now.
Don't look into the mirror.
- You look incredibly stylish. - Do I?
- Really? Okay. - Yes.
I've never seen Kwang Kyu like this before.
All right.
(He transformed into a fashion leader with My Star's clothes.)
(Grumpy Secretary's first task: Selling second-hand items)
These are the items we're going to sell today.
- We should upload their photos. - We should take photos of them.
How you take photos of items is very important.
First,
please take a few photos of this film camera...
in a way that makes it look nice and make people feel nostalgic.
"It has not been used at all."
"I'd like to sell it at a reasonable price..."
"to someone who wants to take sentimental photos."
(Tilting his head)
Will you take photos of it while holding it like that?
- Should I not? - Photos are very important.
You'll take photos of it while holding it?
- Photos are really important. - You do it.
- I don't know how to do it. - Or I should rather...
Can I take it with your face in it?
(Or I should rather... Can I take it with your face in it?)
"It is with Mr. Lee Seo Jin."
I'll try to take a sentimental photo.
- I'll put it on the sofa. - Show us how to do it.
How should we take it?
- Okay. This would work. - Really?
Now you have to write something about this item.
What should be the title?
A film camera with good vibes...
GV.
- "GV?" - A film camera with GV for sale.
- Oh, you use Cheonjiin? - Sorry?
"Cheonjiin?"
- Yes. - What is that?
This keyboard layout is called "Cheonjiin."
- My grandpa uses it. - Oh, I see.
I don't use Cheonjiin.
(Kwang Kyu lies to his face.)
Now you have to write a description.
Yes.
I'll just do all the work.
Go and rest.
I'll just...
(They're not helpful when it comes to second-hand transactions.)
"A film camera in like-new condition..."
"is for sale."
Above all, the fact that he used Cheonjiin dumbfounded me.
They typed so slowly on top of that.
I mean, it took them one minute...
to type "hello."
That could make it hard to communicate with buyers.
So I did all the work.
I had to play a leading role.
Then five dollars...
How much would be reasonable?
Did you say it was worth 30 dollars?
Yes, I think I paid 30 or 40 dollars.
In that case...
- Sell it for at least ten dollars. - Ten dollars.
Wait.
Should we raise the price?
- How about 20 dollars? - No.
Even if we sell it for ten dollars...
Many people try to negotiate the price...
when they meet the seller in person.
- Then list it up for 15 dollars. - So...
But if you list an item worth 30 dollars up for 15 dollars...
- on Daangn, - It's a bit expensive, right?
- no one will be willing to buy it. - Then how about 12 dollars?
He doesn't know how it works since he's never used it before.
- Daangn is... Yes. - Twelve dollars, it is.
Twelve dollars would be reasonable.
I listed one item up.
Shall we list PlayStation this time?
- What is PlayStation? - This one.
- "PlayStation?" - Yes.
Do you live in a mountain or something?
It's getting harder to speak with you.
I'll put this here... Can you move it aside?
(Seo Jin quickly places the game console on the table.)
But the thing is... The HDMI cable...
and the controller cable are missing.
Can you get them separately?
Yes, you can buy them separately.
- Then there will be no problem. - Right.
In a full shot?
Someone commented, "I'd like to inquire about it."
Oh, my. That's awesome.
Someone commented, "I'd like to inquire about it."
(Someone contacted him only 1 minute after he listed the camera up.)
- It's about the camera. - That's awesome.
- The camera. Hold on a second. - Oh, my.
Hold on.
Should we have listed it up for 15 dollars?
Oh, this person is interested...
(Thinking hard)
"The camera is pretty."
(- I'd like to inquire about it. - Hello. The camera is pretty.)
That may make the person feel uncomfortable.
Right. It could make the person feel uncomfortable.
Why did you say the camera was pretty?
It's like when you go on a blind date and say,
"Hello. You are very pretty."
- It's about the same situation. - Right.
But it's a compliment. Why is it bad?
It sounds like I'm showing off my item.
It's like saying, "I'm handsome."
- Exactly. - It's like that.
It's like saying, "I'm handsome, right?"
- Oh, I get it now. - For now...
If you reply too quickly...
You should reply quickly in a relationship, right?
- You've got a message. - The buyer replied right away.
The buyer said, "Yes."
"Hello."
To my message, "The camera is pretty,"
- the buyer replied, "Yes." - "Yes."
The buyer bit the bait.
- But wait. - What?
(Will he succeed in selling it at the first attempt?)
The buyer definitely bit the bait.
- The buyer bit the bait? - "It's available..."
"Will you buy it?"
- I'll ask directly. - Good.
Is it like asking, "Will you date me?"
(Chuckling)
"Will you buy it?"
(It's funny.)
"When can you meet me?"
(Everything seems fascinating to the Daangn beginner.)
"I'd like to meet you now."
(Staring)
But don't I look...
- so desperate? - What?
- I look desperate, right? - Exactly.
- The buyer will probably say, - The buyer read my message.
"Can you give me a discount?" Or something like that.
- But... For us... - That's possible.
Selling the camera is what matters to us.
The buyer is busy now and will be available in the evening.
That won't work.
The buyer asked to contact him or her...
if it's still available in the evening.
"Yes, I'll do that."
It's good. We're starting off well.
Yes, it's good.
Now then... Did you take a photo of the game console?
The price... Yes, I took it.
How much?
I'll list it up for 150 dollars for now.
A hundred and fifty dollars.
I'm done writing the description.
(Item 2, the game console, has been listed up.)
I listed one up.
- Next up is this one. - Okay.
- G-DRAGON's photo should be seen. - Okay.
(They displayed it thoughtfully to attract many buyers.)
Oh, this is G-DRAGON's.
PlayStation! This is amazing.
The buyer asked if it was available. "Can you meet me now?"
Say you have to go out of Seoul now right after selling it.
- "I'll buy it right now." - "Right now?"
I listed it for a very low price.
- Isn't it too cheap? - I'm impressed.
How do people know that as soon as you list items?
It's because it's much cheaper than what it's worth.
I'll list G-DRAGON's cheering stick too.
- Are you giving it away? - Yes.
- I'll give it away. - Okay.
(This item is free of charge.)
You can find a buyer easily when it's free.
(The probability of successful transaction is 100 percent.)
I listed it up.
The PlayStation console is incredibly popular.
- Why? - It's really...
I'm getting so many messages like Seo Jin did...
in the prime of his life.
- I wasn't that popular even then. - It's because...
this person knows that it's cheap.
This buyer said,
"Is it still available? Can I buy it?"
"If it's already sold, have a good weekend."
The buyer thought it could've been sold already.
The buyer asked, "Can we meet up 30 minutes later?"
I'll say, "Sounds good."
- Did the buyer reply? - "Sounds good."
Okay.
- The game console has been sold. - Has it been sold?
Has it been sold?
The buyer will come in 30 minutes.
- Then I'll close the deal. - Right. Yes.
"I'll be on my way right now."
This buyer sounds so excited.
"Can you please hold it for me?"
(Won Hun is excited as he's bombarded with inquiries.)
I'm getting so many messages. What should I do?
- We're rich now! - Hey.
Hey, this must be...
This must be worth a lot.
What do I do?
I got a message from another person.
"Yes, that's right."
"Are you giving it away?"
"Yes, that's right."
This... Oh, my.
"Gosh. Are you giving it away?" This person is surprised.
"Yes, that's right."
(Yes, that's right.)
I'll put this aside.
What do I do?
(The notification keeps going off.)
Hold on a second. I have a headache.
(I have a headache.)
There are eight of them. It's hard to communicate with them.
That's the fun...
- of making deals on Daangn. - I get it now.
Office workers run out of the office...
when they feel overloaded with work.
I want to give up right now.
(Overloaded)
Which item do most of them ask about?
- They're going wild. - Are they inquiring...
- about this one? - With this momentum,
even this cardigan...
would be sold.
- With this momentum. - List it up.
(List it up.)
- While you're at it. - Shall I list it up just in case?
Then sell it with the other one as a set.
- With the other cardigan? - Yes, as a set.
- Right. That's a good idea. - Right?
- I'll exclude your face. - Okay.
- I'll put the other one on. - Right.
- Take a photo of us together. - Okay.
Can someone reply to these messages?
I really need your help. I'm too busy to talk to them.
I just got 11 messages.
(I just got 11 messages!)
- The buyer's nibling loves it. - Which one?
Stop sending me messages!
We're ready.
Shouldn't we cover the mic?
- We can hide it. - Right?
- Let's hide it like this. - Okay.
This is driving me nuts. I can't do that.
It's already been sold.
- Hurry up and take a photo of us. - Take a photo of us.
- I'm busy right now! - What?
- You should list these up now. - Give me just a minute.
- Hurry up. - Just a second.
(Feeling rushed)
Hold on. Which item does this buyer want to buy?
- PlayStation? - Hurry up and come.
The game console has already been sold.
(Focused)
(Hurry up)
(Seo Jin's dimples are getting deeper.)
- What's going on? - Just a second.
(He moves his fingers more quickly as time passes.)
(Everyone is serious about the second-hand transaction.)
Make sure our faces aren't in the frame, okay?
- I'll take a photo of you first. - Okay.
(Finally, he takes a photo of them together.)
Then I'll just include the two cardigans in the frame.
(Smiling)
- Is it done? - Both of you look good in them.
All right. Now I should list them up...
How much should I sell each of them for?
- This cardigan? - Yes.
How about 30 dollars for the 2 of them?
- That's too expensive. - No one will buy them.
- Ten dollars for both. - That sounds reasonable.
- Ten dollars for both? - "Ten dollars for both."
If you were going to sell them for only ten dollars,
I wouldn't have needed to pose in the cardigan.
- That's how Daangn works. - Right.
You see, on Daangn,
people even give away the pickled radish...
that comes with tteokbokki.
- They sell all sorts of things. - Even pickled radish?
Yes.
List up new items instead of replying to the messages.
Open the box and show the shoes.
Put one on top of the other.
Take a photo of this.
- That's good. Yes. - Oh, the size? Okay.
Won Hun, what is this?
- This is a phone charger. - Is it a charger?
These two are for different models of phones.
You can use both at the same time. It's worth about 150 dollars.
- It's worth 150 dollars? - Let's list this too.
This is a very good product.
This is a regular lamp, right?
- You should sell this too. - Yes.
(Everything he sees increases his urge to sell more items.)
(He might sell everything he sees.)
Do you want to sell this chair?
- That's a very expensive chair. - Oh, is it very expensive?
This chair looks nice.
(He's addicted to selling.)
I'm quite good at selling things on Daangn.
I have so many unread messages.
- Let's just keep selling things. - You have to meet a buyer...
(Let's forget about your work schedule and keep doing this!)
This is fun.
(He got hooked on Daangn deeply.)
That was fun. Selling things on Daangn was fun.
- Do you want to sell anything? - Do you have anything to sell?
- I have a lot at home. - Like what?
Almost everything I have at home.
I'm not so interested in material possessions.
(He'll sell his stuff on Daangn soon.)
- I'll tell you the current status. - Okay.
The console, the cheering stick, and the film camera have been sold.
- The buyers are coming. We're busy. - Oh, okay.
I have to go to meet the buyers...
- Did you bring all of these? - Yes. I'll be waiting here...
and give the buyers the items when they arrive.
The three buyers are on their way.
Are you here for the Daangn deal?
- No. - No.
When you wait for a buyer or a seller,
you can tell who is coming for a Daangn deal.
Ask if he or she is here for a Daangn deal.
Will they be here shortly?
They'll send me a message. I haven't gotten any...
You can wait inside.
- Then let's go back inside... - Okay.
- and come back when they arrive. - Okay.
- Let's go. - It's cold outside.
It's cold.
(A person who seems to be a buyer appears.)
(Glancing)
- I think she's one of the buyers. - Sorry?
- Really? - She's standing there.
- She keeps checking her phone. - Sorry?
(He's got a hunch!)
- What? - She's checking her phone. Look.
- The one that's walking toward us? - Yes.
Where did Won Hun go?
You can tell...
(You can tell who's coming for a Daangn deal!)
You can tell who's coming for a Daangn deal.
- Are you here for the Daangn deal? - Yes, I am.
Oh, really? Hello.
- Are you here for the Daangn deal? - Yes, I am.
(Yes, I am!)
Please wait for a while.
What are you here to pick up?
What are you...
- Me? - What are you here to pick up?
- I was so surprised. - Are you here for that thing?
- For the cheering stick. - Are you here for the camera?
Oh, the cheering stick? All right.
- Seo Jin. - Yes.
- Is it there? - Yes, it is.
(She's here to pick up G-DRAGON's cheering stick.)
- Which one? Is she here for a deal? - Yes.
- Hello. - She's here for the cheering stick.
Hello. Are you a fan of G-DRAGON's?
She's a fan of G-DRAGON's.
(Taken aback)
(Waiting from afar)
We should ask her...
- if she's here for the Daangn deal. - We already asked.
- We already asked. - Okay.
- Daangn... - We already asked her that.
I used this cheering stick...
at G-DRAGON's concert and have never used it since then.
- I have his photo too. - Right.
- In the box, - Can I hold it vertically?
There are the battery and the connector.
Also, I'm giving you the "Shortbox" key ring and socks.
I put them in the box.
- Do you know what "Shortbox" is? - Yes. I watch it often.
- Everybody knows. - All right.
Only you don't know.
Can you sing a song by G-DRAGON?
(She has to prove that she's G-DRAGON's fan.)
(Bang, bang, bang)
(Kwang Kyu also proves that he's G-DRAGON's fan.)
- Thank you for the deal. - Thank you.
- Have a happy day. - Goodbye.
- Thank you. - Go home safely.
- This is how Daangn works. - I see.
- My, Daangn is no joke. - I just got another message.
You got another message?
This buyer is calling me.
The one who's buying the game console.
Hello?
Yes. Right now,
I'm in front of the guest house.
Oh, hello.
Hello, sir.
(The buyer of the game console arrives.)
Your ID is this, right? You're here for PlayStation, right?
I can't believe I'm making a deal with such a popular celebrity.
- Please come here. It's here. - Please come.
- When I bought this, - Yes.
I paid between 500 and 600 dollars for it.
I'm selling it at a low price...
- because I have to sell it. - I...
- Here you go. - Here you go.
Sir, you should know that the HDMI cable is missing.
That doesn't matter. I have one.
There's no controller cable either.
- Is this for you? - No, it's for my child.
- I see. Thank you. - You two are so famous.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Can I shake your hand? - Sure. Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you, sir. Have a good day. - Goodbye.
- Thank you. - Thank you for the business.
Please leave a good review. Goodbye.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(He earned 150 dollars in a blink of an eye.)
- This is for you. - You don't have to give any money.
- Enjoy a meal with it. - You don't have to do this.
- Thank you for your help. - Oh, come on.
- Seo Jin, thank you for your help. - This is... Okay.
- Thank you. - Let's eat something delicious.
- We earned 150 dollars. - Let's eat something delicious.
Which one is left now?
We just sold the game console. We have the camera left.
Do you have anything expensive to sell?
- You want to sell more, right? - Yes.
(You want to sell more, right?)
(He chuckles as he says yes.)
That was fun. Selling things on Daangn was fun.
What was fun about it?
You can get cash right then and there.
(Smiling with deep dimples)
This isn't bad at all. It's fun.
- I want to keep listing items. - It's not fun when it's not sold.
(Addicted)
Shall we list your jacket?
If we list this jacket, it will be sold right away.
- I guess so. - We have to wait...
until it's completely sold out and then list it.
That's right. You did major in business administration.
(Addict 1, Addict 2)
- Shall I go up and list more stuff? - Yes, you should.
This is the most fun thing.
- Hello? - Hello?
Yes, hello.
- Hello. - I'm calling regarding the camera.
When will you arrive?
I'm heading from Hapjeong to Hongdae right now.
- I'll be there in 15 minutes. - Yes. I see.
I understand. Please call me when you get here.
- I'll do that. - Yes. Thank you.
Bye.
I'm Kim Won Hun from Shortbox.
- Pardon? - I'm Kim Won Hun from Shortbox.
Oh, you... Pardon me?
(Chuckling)
Say, "I'm Kim Kwang Kyu from My Grumpy Secretary."
- Hello? - Yes.
(Chuckling)
- Hello? - Yes. Call me when you arrive.
(The call ended.)
- The call ended. - Hello?
This is Won Hun's manager.
- The call ended. - Okay.
You should've introduced yourself as a cast member of this show.
- I was going to, but he hung up. - Really?
Oh, gosh. This is...
(Chuckling softly)
My temperature rose by 2ยฐC.
What is it now?
- You measure a temperature there? - Yes.
It's called "manner temperature."
The higher your temperature is,
the better you are as a person to make a deal with.
My temperature isn't low either.
- Let me check your temperature. - So it's like a credit rating.
Your body temperature is over 38ยฐC.
You should go home now.
(Won Hun pranks him.)
My manner temperature is 36.7ยฐC.
- That's a standard temperature. - Is it?
- I haven't... - Your temperature is normal.
I haven't used it in a while.
My manner temperature decreased a lot.
You got another message.
The person is asking if I could also sell the white sneakers.
- Yes. That's possible. - Who?
The person buying the camera...
asked if the sneakers could be bought as well.
Yes. That's possible.
Two birds with one stone.
The person who called earlier.
That's right.
The person who will get here after ten minutes.
This person is very excited.
- Why? - Excited to buy things.
Really?
The person was going to buy a film camera,
but after seeing the sneakers,
they were added to the list.
If I also give these 2 for 1 dollar,
that person might like it.
I'll sort it out on-site.
Right.
Just make the suggestion.
"I'm in front of the building."
(The buyer has arrived.)
"I'm in front of the building."
"I'm in front of the building."
(Taking off his jacket)
"I'm in front of the building."
(The capitalist seal is extra enthusiastic today.)
It's today's last trade.
Just in case,
could you say,
"The clothes are really pretty..."
from behind?
- What? - The texture is really nice...
- and the material is good. - Okay.
You can go down first. We'll follow.
While you're talking...
- You'll come after? - Yes.
"Would you like to check out the clothes?"
"I also have sweaters. Couple sweaters."
(The prospective buyer is waiting at the meeting spot.)
(I'm coming to meet you now.)
- Daangn? - Yes.
Hello.
Here.
Goodness.
That's right. It was me.
- Would you like to see the camera? - Yes.
I never used it.
Right.
Film cameras have that nostalgic feeling.
- It's got the film as well. - Right.
I checked the wrong size...
for the shoes.
That's how I got size 230.
Right. My shoe size is 230.
Will you buy the shoes as well?
Yes. I wanted them as well.
- Right. - But...
Are you not interested in clothes?
Are you not interested in clothes?
Have you seen the cardigans?
- I have. - What do you think about those?
Would you like to check how they look?
Would you like to check how they look?
- What do you think? - They look like this.
- Hold on. - It's...
(Grumpy Secretary walks out.)
It's actually...
It may not look so because they're wearing them,
but they're oversized.
So they'd probably fall...
right on your thighs.
You can wear pants like the ones you're wearing now...
and wear the cardigan on top.
You'd become a Hongdae person. Gen Z.
Could you take one off?
Wear it for just a bit.
- Try it on. - I'll just put it on you.
- Okay. - Just on top.
- If you don't like it... - Hold on.
Give it to me.
It looks great the moment you wear it.
Seriously.
It's perfect.
- No... - It looks nice.
- It suits you. - Seriously.
It's perfect.
- No... - It looks nice.
- It suits you. - Seriously.
These two...
cost one dollar.
- One costs 50 cents. - Right.
If you add one dollar...
(Thinking)
Hold on.
- What should I do? - Just give it to her.
It suits her.
- We'll just give it to you. - No. Don't do that.
- I'll give you one dollar. - Please don't.
- This... - This...
- Just give this to her.. - is how you trade.
It suited her well.
The same outfit looks different on a young person...
and an older person.
It looked nice. She looked like a fashionist.
- This... - Just give this to her.
Let her wear it. It's cold.
Then I'll give you the shoes for 35 dollars,
together with the two cardigans.
No. Don't give her this.
The price is different than the one you wrote.
Yes. I'm suggesting a counter-bargain.
Goodness. You're a punk.
Can I take it for the original price and pay one dollar for those?
Is that what you want?
I do.
Let's do this.
- You can wear this. - Okay.
I'll just give you this cardigan for free.
I'll give you the rest for the original price.
- Will you pay by Daangn Pay? - No.
- Then? Account? - Bank transfer.
- Bank transfer. - Yes.
KB Bank.
- KB Bank. - It's 816902...
(If someone asks for a bank transfer in a secondhand transaction, )
(it's often a scam, )
(so extra caution is required.)
- I'll just check if it came. - Okay.
It was transferred.
The total balance is 8,200 dollars.
- I see. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Take care.
Thank you.
(After the storm-like transaction)
- Kwang Kyu. - Yes?
There's dim sum in the freezer.
Yes.
Let's eat that.
We don't have time.
There's dim sum in the freezer.
(The Grumpy Secretary get along so well at such times.)
My hands are freezing because it's cold.
(They don't have time to eat in today's schedule.)
(Korea No.1 Dim Sum)
Pour them.
Isn't this too much?
(We have to quickly eat now.)
- How many minutes? - Six minutes.
(Singing)
(His energy goes up just thinking about eating dim sum.)
Nice.
Try it.
You can eat it quickly and easily...
when you don't have time like right now.
(Eating)
It looks nice.
The juice.
It's falling.
The juice. Goodness.
(He's eating with his face.)
Even the flavour.
(Eating)
It's good.
It doesn't feel like it was frozen.
It's like the ones they sell at the dim sum restaurants.
It's hot.
(They're having a good-quality meal for the first time in a while.)
Now, with Daangn...
I can really smell them dumplings.
It wasn't dumplings. Dim sum.
We have to get ready to shoot. There's no time to eat.
We're done.
(He's very unapologetic.)
I went to the fourth floor...
with a citizen...
- who was passing by. - Did you sell something?
I sold four pieces of clothing.
- Clothes? Really? - Four outfits and a charger.
I earned 238 dollars today.
That's nice.
(Grumpy Secretary has fallen into the charms of Daangn.)
- I have to go to the shooting. - Yes.
There's an outfit over there.
Do we have to take all those?
Two black outfits.
Not the jacket?
Not the jacket.
It's black.
One jacket...
- The pants. - The pants and the shirt.
- The shirt? - Yes.
- Please take these. - Okay.
- This... - This.
Should I give it to you as a gift?
- This? - Yes.
No.
Well... Give it to Seo Jin.
Should I give this to you as a gift?
What is that?
It's me.
What is that?
I wrote the mindset I should have...
when I'm doing comedy.
I wanted to do one crazy thing per day.
That's how I made the shirt.
(1 crazy thing per day. Sometimes, it shouldn't make sense.)
I was mad to be excited when I saw it from a distance.
- Let's take this too. - Shall we go?
- Yes. - Let's go.
(The lady who excited Seo Jin)
(Should I take everything?)
- Please bring it to the 1st floor. - The 1st floor?
(They're moving the YouTube filming equipment.)
Why is this so heavy?
(They all help carry them.)
Thank you.
The space is tight,
so you have to fit them in well.
There's a lot of equipment.
The filming set is quite large.
We're filming at a school.
(They finish loading the filming equipment for Shortbox.)
- Turn left from here. - You have to go left.
The school has an underground parking lot.
Please gather around. Hurry up.
Are you going to go with that voice?
(People are serious before the filming.)
Please focus!
(With the fiery performance of My Star, the short-form idol, )
(Grumpy Secretary, with a combined 52 years of acting experience, )
(will make a cameo appearance.)
(My Star and Grumpy Secretary arrive at the filming set.)
Hello.
- Ji Yoon. - Hello.
- You're here. - Hello.
This is Ji Yoon. She works with me...
- at Shortbox. - That's right.
I think I've seen her on "Gag Concert."
- We were on "Gag Concert" together. - Right.
- Right. - All our members.
(He's seen her on TV.)
- Is he your managers today? - Yes.
- Is he a secretary? - Yes. My secretary.
He's my secretary and a butler.
- Even a butler? - Yes.
He also has to clean my room later.
(Will he be Grumpy Butler after Grumpy Secretary?)
He works a lot.
Kwang Kyu!
Why is he so slow?
(Right. There was one more person.)
The space is so tight.
(The colourful parking man)
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- He's very colourful. - I...
This is in the Shortbox office...
- as inventory. - That's right.
- I gave them to him as a gift. - She knew about it.
The cardigan and the pants.
He was looking...
for someone to take those...
- for a year. - These...
Honestly speaking,
- twelve people have tried those. - Really?
But we couldn't find the owner.
- We finally met the owner today. - Really?
There was someone to take it.
No. I...
- Hello. - Hello.
This is Jin Se who works with us.
- Hello. - I've seen him a lot.
Right.
I've seen him a lot on "Gag Concert."
Thank you.
- Thank you. - He's watched everything.
- "Gag Concert?" - I really liked...
"Gag Concert" for a long time.
- Really? - Yes.
I've seen you.
They both have great skin.
(All the Shortbox members are here.)
(1.3 billion total views)
(It's so detailed. She's so annoyed but she even says bye.)
(How can it be so realistic?)
(Shortbox, Korea's top creator of short-form dramas)
(Today's content: Entrance exam of film school)
(A senior from the Acting Department played by Kim Won Hun)
(A senior from the Acting Department played by Eom Ji Yoon)
(An applicant for the Acting Department played by Cho Jin Se)
Let's start right away.
- Let's start right away. - Let's start right away.
Shall we start?
- Let's start right away. - Yes.
- Let's try it. - Let's start.
- You can be resting. - You can rest.
- Okay. - I'll call you if I need help.
Okay.
Like this?
(Jin Se will act in the first scene.)
Loosening the hips.
(Won Hun will direct the first scene.)
Okay. Let's do it like that.
They're going to start without even rehearsing?
They're amazing.
(It's a new system for the actors with 26 years of experience.)
Let's start.
(The newest work of Shortbox with a total view of 1.3 billion)
Ready!
Action!
(They start...)
(without rehearsing.)
I can't believe I'm an illegitimate child.
I can't believe I'm an illegitimate child!
(A fiery...)
(freestyle...)
(performance)
I can't believe I'm an illegitimate child.
(He's in spectator mode.)
I can't believe I'm an illegitimate child.
Cut!
(The scene ended just 10 seconds after they got up.)
Cut, cut.
Cut. Hold on.
(The scene ended just 10 seconds after they got up.)
Let's start.
Everyone on camera should act.
- Let's start. - Okay.
Go.
(Self-acting and directing?)
(Doing his signature frustrated expression)
Okay. Cut.
(He gives himself an okay.)
He acted and he confirmed it.
(This was just the beginning.)
Please focus.
- Cut. - Cut.
(This isn't tag.)
Until this point for now.
Go.
It's tenfold, no, a hundredfold more precious.
Cut.
Nice.
They film it so quickly.
(They film it so quickly.)
They film it so quickly.
(Grumpy Secretary with a combined 52 years of experience...)
(is unfamiliar with the new media.)
Cut.
- Cut. - Cut.
Cut.
Cut.
Cut!
(The dramatic actor with a confused expression)
People still like it...
even when it's made so casually.
That's interesting.
Isn't it interesting?
Isn't the filming set interesting?
How do you film it so quickly?
He's very flustered.
What are you doing?
(The reason why Seo Genie is flustered...)
(On a drama set, the roles of a director...)
(and the actors are divided.)
(The actors act according to the script and the movement plan.)
(The director watches the actors act and directs them.)
(But it's different in Shortbox.)
Go.
Does anyone have any questions...
or anything they didn't understand?
Yes.
How many professors are there?
(Exclaiming)
You'll know when you get there.
Let's say, "That, you'll know..."
(Shortbox's unique feature: 1. Immediate feedback...)
(during the acting)
That, you'll know when you get there.
Okay. We'll keep that for now.
Okay. Let's do it again from here.
(2. Even if the scene gets an OK, they volunteer to redo it.)
Nice.
- I think some should come forward. - Yes. The bathroom.
(3. The movement plan changes on the spot.)
(The 26-year veteran is completely amazed by the sight.)
I was reminded of the time...
when I shot a short movie when I first entered university.
That's why I smiled.
The amount they filmed today...
would normally take a day or two to film.
They shot that in five hours. I think that's amazing.
It's so fascinating that the end result...
comes out really funny.
We can just leave this.
(How would the final version look like?)
Does anyone have any questions...
or anything they didn't understand?
- Yes. - How many professors are there?
That, you'll know when you get there.
Couldn't you tell us?
What is the registration number of the person who just asked that?
We will move in two lines.
(Watch the full clip on Shortbox.)
- Please focus! - Focus!
(Shortbox keeps working for the fans.)
Don't get nervous.
(The Grumpy Secretary stays close to the three...)
(in shadow mode, ready to assist whenever needed.)
(Time goes by, )
(and 2 hours have passed.)
(Getting his camera)
Look at him.
(Seo Jin is fighting with his sleep.)
(But his eyelids give up and drop.)
(The dimples move.)
Seo Jin always said...
he doesn't take naps.
(He doesn't take naps.)
- He slept miserably. - Miserably...
(He slept miserably.)
He slept like this.
(He slept like this.)
(The miserable world of napping uncomfortably)
I can't even wake him up.
(He's flustered.)
(He looks like he's taken many short naps.)
I might also fall asleep.
(Cameraman)
I slept about three times...
while watching "Intimate Strangers."
(He was offended.)
Where did Kwang Kyu go?
(By the way...)
Seo Jin is really sleeping.
(Kwang Kyu, who was taking pictures of Seo Jin sleep, )
Where is Kwang Kyu?
(is gone.)
Where is Kwang Kyu?
(He's flustered.)
Kwang Kyu!
(Eating)
Since I lack stamina,
(He's enjoying a meal at a nearby street food restaurant.)
I can't go by with only one meal a day.
Even if I eat a little,
I should eat three times a day.
(There's no Seo Jin to nag him.)
(His chopsticks move energetically.)
(It seems Kwang Kyu's fall appetite...)
(will last through the winter.)
(At the same time, Seo Jin woke up from his short nap.)
He went to have a meal alone.
He went out alone?
To eat again?
(To eat again?)
Why is he eating so much these days?
(He's flustered.)
Let's try this, Jin Se.
Jin Se?
Let's try this.
The cheongsimhwan.
The cheongsimhwan...
It's not a pill.
- No way. - I know. So...
This is the extract. It's not the pill.
This doesn't bring out the feeling.
Is this cheongsimhwan?
- It's the pure extract. - It's cheongsimhwan.
- Are we going to open this now? - As soon as we can...
(Seo Jin with keen hearing gets up.)
Should I get you cheongsimhwan?
- Hold on. - No.
(Seo Genie volunteers to do errands.)
- Hold on. - No.
Should I get you cheongsimhwan?
Our prop...
- Right. It's... - Yes.
- It's supposed to be a pill. - You want the pill.
I'll get it quickly.
(I'll get it quickly.)
Is this really...
(They're dazed.)
Is this...
Props are very important...
in dramas too.
The details.
If the props team fails to prepare them,
things go crazy. That's how it normally is.
But they...
were just discussing what to do with each other.
There were no staff members.
(It looks like he felt concerned because they were short on hands.)
(Seo Jin came out to get cheongsimhwan.)
Is Kwang Kyu back?
(The older bestie isn't coming.)
I'll wait for him downstairs and go with him.
Is it basement level one?
(It looks like he's going to scold him as well.)
(Meanwhile, Kwan Kyu is back from his secret meal.)
(The energetic parking man is turning the steering wheel.)
Why is he here?
Why?
He's here.
(One man appears in front of him as soon as he gets back.)
Kwang Kyu.
(Glancing)
- Kwang Kyu. - Why are you here?
He was coming to me,
and I thought it was the Grim Reaper.
"Is he here to get me?"
(He still rambles from the shock.)
While coming back,
I hoped Seo Jin would be sleeping...
until I got there.
I thought he would be sleeping...
like this.
But he suddenly ran toward me at the parking lot.
There's an old movie called "Jaws."
I thought it was "Jaws."
(Grim Reaper plus man-eating shark: Lee Seo Jin?)
- Kwang Kyu. - Why are you here?
Let's go to a pharmacy.
Is someone sick?
To get a prop.
- A prop? - Yes.
(He got scared.)
Kwang Kyu.
Yes?
What?
I went to get some air.
You had udon, tteokbokki...
- How could you eat so much? - I mean...
Let's get going now.
My goodness.
It's because you don't give me a moment to breathe.
We can just do it like this.
- It's over there. - It's over there.
(They found a pharmacy.)
I'll U-turn and come back here.
Hi, do you have cheongsimhwan?
- Cheongsimhwan? - Yes. The pill version.
- How many do you need? - Three, please.
(He got more than enough.)
How much is it?
It's 15 dollars each, so it's 45 dollars in total.
(The shoot was put on hold while they waited for the cheongsimhwan.)
- Is it okay to drink this? - Here it comes!
(The shoot was put on hold while they waited for the cheongsimhwan.)
Cheongsimhwan is here!
(Cheongsimhwan is here.)
(Here it comes!)
(He came back like he's the main character.)
Okay.
(With great confidence)
Thank you. You got as many as three.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You came back earlier than I had thought.
- I did? - Yes.
Is three enough?
Yes. It's more than enough.
Actually, one would've been fine.
You might have to take a tight shot, so...
(He has a different vibe that comes from experience.)
- This is exactly what we needed. - Yes.
He got three.
One for the tight shot.
One for the other actor.
He considered all that and got three.
He's more attentive than I thought.
I was moved by it.
(He was touched by how well he took care of them.)
- Let's go. - Let's do it.
(The shoot has resumed with cheongsimhwan.)
Sir.
"Sir."
Would it be okay for me to take this cheongsimhwan?
(The cheongsimhwan I bought)
- Give it to me. - Here it is.
(The shoot is going smoothly thanks to the cheongsimhwan.)
(They've finished shooting the gym scene at 4:30pm.)
- Is this all for this scene? - Yes. We're done.
People take exams...
- in a place like this. - They take the exam here.
People take tests in a place like this.
- This is where they take the exam. - So we're going to film here.
The thing is...
this is where we take the exam.
The judges will be sitting here.
Since you came,
I wonder if you would be able to make a cameo.
(My Star asked for a cameo appearance.)
- Can we just... - Yes.
Sit here as judges?
- Without doing anything? - Without any lines.
- Without doing anything. - Okay.
Kwang Kyu would be fine then. You can sit still.
We'll give you one shot in the scene.
- Can you express your emotion? - Yes.
Let's say you found an amazing talent.
(A situation where he found someone really talented)
- You can just grin. - Yes.
You found a great talent.
(How will the veteran actor show his emotion?)
(Grinning)
It feels a bit shallow.
Could you try adding more emotional depth to your acting?
- Emotional depth? - Yes. Just a bit more.
Let's say you saw a student you don't like.
(A new situation)
(Adding depth)
(Anticipating)
(Sighing)
- You can't curse. - "Darn it?"
- You can't curse in our videos. - No, I didn't curse.
- You didn't curse? - You didn't curse?
No.
I'll just brighten up the set.
Just as expected.
- He's a true actor. - It's already bright.
My eyes are hurting.
(He's a shining judge.)
Actually, in the last scene...
It'd be nice if Seo Jin appeared in the last scene.
(My Star asked Seo Jin to appear at the end.)
This script...
- I'm not sure if it'll be funny. - It'll be 100 percent funny.
Could you do this?
(Trying to read his face)
- So he's going to sit? - Just in case...
I think Kwang Kyu should sit down.
I'll just sit still.
- There's another actor. - Yes.
Are you going to sit?
I'll be here as a staff member.
- I... - Seo Jin.
Can you just say these lines?
We'd really appreciate it...
- if you could be in our video. - Yes.
That's why we added these lines at the end.
(Let us tell you about the endings of Shortbox videos.)
(From the world-class soccer player Ronaldinho...)
("Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman Appears in Shortbox")
(Lee Sang Yeob)
(Unexpected stars closed out their videos.)
The movie is a huge hit.
- Really? It's incredible. - It's incredible.
(Heo Sung Tae)
I'll go get a razor since you need to shave your eyebrows. Please wait.
(Seo Jin has a chance to close out the video this time.)
The ending is what the main characters care about the most.
Back in the day, the main character always showed up at the end.
For our generation, the ending...
is important.
That's why we add these lines at the end.
(My Star made an appealing offer.)
- Okay. - Whatever it is...
Shall we begin then?
- Yes. - Sure. Let's do it.
(This is great.)
- Yes. - Sure. Let's do it.
(Ending Fairy Seo Jin is coming soon.)
You're going to play a judge.
- I'll just... - Yes.
(The exam hall just before filming)
We'll finish it like that.
Kwang Kyu wasn't supposed to do this,
but he agreed to make a cameo...
- today. - Oh, my.
- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
(Awkward)
Could you please put something here?
(Even the veteran Kwang Kyu is nervous about the unexpected shoot.)
Paper and stuff.
Don't put the light on Kwang Kyu's head.
(He hasn't made a joke like this for a while.)
(He was nervous, but relaxed after his joke.)
(Seo Jin is changing into the exam outfit.)
It's amazing.
This is his day job.
(My Star is looking forward to seeing him work.)
Do you need a rehearsal?
Thank you in advance.
(Laughing)
Do you need a rehearsal? Or do you want to start right away?
Let's just do it.
Oh, my. That's cool.
(Wearing a name tag)
(The older student is on standby.)
Okay. The actor who attracted 10 million viewers will act.
Should I go out and come back?
Yes. Please go out and come back.
I'll let you know when we're ready.
(He's nervous about his short-form video debut.)
(With a total of 52 years of experience, what will they show?)
You'll see the red light.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
- Okay. Go. - Action.
(He walks in with confidence, showing his dimples.)
I'm temporary number 33.
Okay. Please do a free improvisation.
(Anticipating)
"A free improvisation?"
Why do I have to improvise in front of you?
Aren't you just ordinary middle-aged people outside this hall?
Okay. Fine.
I was acting.
Yes. We know that.
Well... Is there anything else you want to see?
(Examinee number 33 was asked to leave.)
That's enough.
Is there anyone who wants to see more?
What's wrong with your nose?
(Ad-libbing his line)
What's wrong with your hair?
(Ad-libbing again)
(His ad-libs were unexpected.)
I saw Won Hun.
His face was tensing up.
Among the ad-libs I've heard in 2025...
(Exclaiming)
It was shocking.
That's what I thought.
"Oh, he's crossing the line."
(My Star was stunned...)
"But I won't say anything."
(by his shocking ad-libs.)
Let's go.
(Seo Jin's ending scene continues smoothly.)
(Number 33 gets emotional as he can foresee the result.)
(Acting with depth)
(Number 33 leaves while crying in the end.)
It's over.
Don't you think we should edit this part?
What? Where do you mean?
- "What's wrong with your hair?" - "What's wrong with your nose?"
"What's wrong with your hair?" This part.
- It'd be better without it. - Let's...
- just edit it out. - It might be better to finish...
by showing the professors' faces.
His ad-libs weren't that funny.
(Opening the door)
His ad-libs weren't that funny.
Yes. You're right.
- Let's cut it. - Seo Jin, it was good.
It was nice.
(A quick response)
Do you want to try again?
(Teasing)
- Do you want me to do it again? - No, it's good.
It's okay.
You only have one chance.
Only one chance to perform.
(Unfortunately, his short-form debut has come to an end.)
Then...
Let's do it.
Ready. Go.
(The next scene with the judges talking proceeds.)
Where did he study acting?
The dimples didn't form properly.
It looked awkward.
(He's itching to say something again.)
(Thinking hard)
Did he get it done at a hair salon?
Okay. Let's cut it.
Did he get it done at a hair salon?
(He cuts off any poor ad-libs immediately.)
(Kwang Kyu's ad-lib ended in complete failure.)
My gosh.
You can't have surgery at a hair salon.
I'm sorry.
(Apologising)
(How will their cameo turn out?)
He couldn't think of the word "quack."
Hello, I'm temporary number 31.
What does your father do?
He goes to the hospital.
I guess he's very sick.
He's a doctor.
Okay. Please do a free improvisation.
"A free improvisation?"
Why do I have to improvise in front of you?
Aren't you just ordinary middle-aged people outside this hall?
- Okay. Fine. - I was acting.
Yes. We know that.
- Anything else you want to see? - That's enough.
His dimple surgery went wrong.
- The dimples didn't form properly. - Doesn't he walk a little weird?
I didn't like him the moment he walked in.
You can tell as soon as someone opens the door and walks in.
The shoot is over.
- Can we have some makgeolli? - What kind?
- The usual? - Yes.
This place has a unique atmosphere.
(They're at My Star's favourite place with a cool vibe.)
I feel like drinking wine today.
Right.
- Let's have a drink first. - Well...
- Do you want to try this? - Or...
- What's that? - It's makgeolli.
This is the makgeolli I often have.
It's 55 dollars.
For makgeolli?
Let's drink the clear layer of the makgeolli at first.
- Would you like to try it? - Why did you pour so little?
- Just a little. - Sorry?
It's expensive.
Fill the cup.
We should start by drinking the clear layer.
- Then... - Then we're going to shake it.
- Is that how you drink it? - Yes.
- Thank you for your hard work. - You did a great job.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Turning at the same time)
(My Stars are polite in front of older people.)
(He spots it.)
Just drink comfortably. You don't have to turn your body.
It's very sweet.
- Was it always sweet like this? - It's sweet.
- Right? - It's very sweet.
What's really interesting is that we have the same birthday.
- Is it exactly the same? - Yes.
- January 30? - Yes. January 30.
What's even more interesting is that his father...
and my father share the same birthday.
- I think it's very interesting. - Oh, my.
How many years apart are they?
- The age gap is quite big. - Ten years.
- Is the age gap that big? - My father was born in 1963,
- and his father was born in 1949. - Yes.
How come your father is so old?
I'm a late-born child,
so there's about a ten-year age gap between me and my oldest sister.
(He's the youngest of three siblings.)
How did you two become friends?
They were KBS comedians.
But there are many of them.
I'm from the 30th class, and he's from the 31st.
I debuted in 2015,
and he debuted in 2016.
Comedians from the previous class...
assist those auditioning for the following year.
- Like earlier? - Yes.
Right.
When I saw him at that time,
I had a strong feeling that he'd make it.
He must've looked like a comedian.
He looked even funnier back then.
His chin...
used to be more pointed.
I looked like a North Korean soccer player.
(He looked like he could pass the audition right away.)
You kind of look like Yu Oh Seong.
I get that a lot.
People say I look like Seol Ki Hyeon too.
He's a coach now.
So did you suggest working together?
We were doing "Gag Concert" together.
Then we decided to start a YouTube channel.
At first, it wasn't Shortbox but a different channel.
Right.
We had been running that channel for more than two years,
but it wasn't very successful.
So we decided to make one last channel,
which is Shortbox.
You had different channels before.
Yes. We tried many things.
- You tried many things. - Yes.
I wondered...
how you make your videos,
and seeing today's shoot,
it seemed all over the place.
There's a lot of directing.
We started with one camera.
Using only one camera, I shot his scenes...
- while he shot mine. - I filmed when he acted.
We didn't even buy the camera.
- We rented it. - You rented it?
- Yes. - At first...
We have a boom mic now,
but we didn't have one back then.
So we just taped a wearable mic...
to a mop handle...
- and used it as a boom mic. - Right.
We were holding it like a boom mic.
We made only a little money back then.
Each of us made around 300 dollars a month.
- From YouTube? - Yes.
- But you did make some money. - We did,
- but it wasn't enough. - Right.
We wanted to give up,
but it felt like we'd make it...
if we worked just a bit harder.
- "Gag Concert" came to an end. - Right.
- You had nowhere to go. - YouTube was the only thing.
- It was the only thing we could do. - Right.
I see.
After holding on like that,
a day like this has finally come, which is amazing.
It's still amazing to me...
that we can do something like this...
- with you. - I'm glad you held out.
The thing is...
You've been acting consistently.
But we became famous overnight.
We became famous all of a sudden.
- Really? - Yes.
- At once? - Yes.
The views suddenly blew up.
And the next day,
people who had never heard of us started recognising us.
It was incredible.
- Did it make you feel proud? - Yes.
It was mind-blowing.
I didn't even have a moment to feel proud.
- I was too stunned. - How did it happen?
You said it wasn't successful at first.
Jin Se and I were doing it, but it didn't really work out.
So we decided to recruit a female member.
- That's Ji Yoon you met earlier. - Yes.
We started working with her.
She's a blessing to us.
(After she joined them, )
(they started producing long-term relationship content.)
(With realistic acting that resonates with many people, )
(their channel's popularity skyrocketed.)
Why...
- Let me do it. - did it become successful?
You've been in a long-term relationship.
Right. Both Jin Se...
and I have that experience.
So we came up with ideas easily.
What is it about?
- Is it like what we did today? - It's...
It's about...
a couple...
who've been together a long time.
They've grown so used to each other...
that their relationship...
- feels dull. - I'm sorry,
but Seo Jin doesn't know much about it.
- It feels dull. - I'm sorry,
but Seo Jin doesn't know much about it.
- You should just talk to me. - Why would I not know?
You've only dated for short periods.
(You've only dated for short periods.)
He's the epitome...
- of short-term dating. - Right.
- Short-term dating. - Short-term dating.
It lasts a week...
or even two hours.
What's the longest relationship you've had?
Less than two years.
It means you've never experienced real love.
A relationship has to last at least over two years...
to be considered real experience.
If it's less than two years,
you could say you don't really have dating experience yet.
Let's say he's never been in a relationship.
(They say he's never been in a relationship.)
- I've never been in a relationship? - He's never dated anyone?
Never.
(Laughing)
- Never. - We made content...
about long-term relationships.
If we were to make videos about short-term relationships...
Since you have some experience...
Yes.
Do you have any ideas for our video?
He must have a lot of ideas.
About short-term relationships.
I don't know how people date in short-term relationships.
They must have different characteristics.
(My Star wants to learn about short-term relationships.)
I think short-term relationships...
(Curious)
start off with a lot of sparks.
- They fall deeply for each other. - Yes.
They go crazy for each other at first.
Fire.
That's why the passion dies down fast.
You need to add the firewood little by little,
or the fire flares up and dies out quickly.
It's like kindling.
It's like...
they meet each other as someone they're not.
I see.
Rather than their true self,
they become the version of themselves...
- that the other person desires. - Yes.
They become different people because they like each other.
After a few months,
they go back to being themselves.
Right.
That's when they begin questioning each other.
"Why have you changed so much?"
People who fall in love quickly and intensely...
are more likely to have short-term relationships.
Once the fire dies down,
it's not easy for it to flare up again.
It's not easy.
Once it dies, it'll never come back.
- Right. - Yes.
What are the most common things people say...
in short-term relationships?
For example, "I'm sick of you."
We never say something like that.
We express our love much more...
in short-term relationships.
I see.
Do you break up for similar reasons then?
The reasons for breaking up would be obvious.
"I don't think I'm ready for a relationship yet."
- There'd be something like that. - There'd be something like that.
- "Our personalities don't match." - No. It's the woman...
who asks to break up first.
- It's usually the woman. - Is that so?
- It's usually the woman. - Is that so?
In short-term relationships?
That's how it is in short-term relationships?
Because the man has changed.
- I see. - I see.
After a few months,
the man goes back to being himself.
- He becomes a different man. - "He seems a bit different."
He's not the same as he was at the start of the relationship.
(Clear short-term relationship insights drawn from his experience)
- I can see that happening. - It's because...
they cram 2 years of dating into only 2 months.
There's nothing else to do then.
- I see. - I see.
(He's been quiet.)
I understand.
Kwang Kyu, don't you have anything to say about it?
Kwang Kyu, don't you have anything to say about it?
(Startled)
You don't talk much when we are talking about relationships.
I want to keep quiet.
He has striking features.
His old photos...
- are floating around. - Right.
You didn't get a nose job, did you?
He has amazing skin too.
- Yes. - His facial features are amazing.
- Have a drink. - Yes.
If you just look at his forehead, he looks like a one-year-old.
It feels like he's going back in time.
He's Benjamin.
So you dated for a long time...
and married smoothly?
No, we had plenty of challenges.
You had difficulties?
I was unknown for a very long time.
So...
So your wife supported you?
Not financially.
But mentally, she helped me a lot.
- She helped me a lot. - Your wife did?
She always said I was the funniest.
Even when things didn't work out,
she always supported me.
That's very important.
Even now, she always leaves comments on our videos...
without telling us.
Without telling us.
Of course, his wife would leave supportive comments.
As if he'd write rude comments.
- Aren't I right? - True.
- MBTI-wise, - Writing comments...
Seo Jin is a true thinker.
(A clear thinker)
We can't really hold a conversation right now.
- Such a feeling is new. - Right?
Little did I imagine he'd write a rude comment.
- Kind of like... - He wouldn't write one.
It's like I've been enlightened.
"That could totally happen."
(Thinker Seo Jin's interesting way of thinking)
I was thinking of a counselling section...
- A thinker's comment? - Yes.
- A thinker's consultation? - Yes, a thinker's consultation.
Giving you...
- a reality check. - Nice idea.
A counselling session sounds good.
- Tell him what worries you. - Okay.
- Talking together... - I'm not...
- all that interested in others. - True.
I only stay at home.
He's a total homebody.
As a total homebody,
whether it's my day off...
or not,
I just stay home.
I'm slowly starting to lose...
the relationships I had.
- Relationships... - And...
aren't that important.
If you succeed, relationships will end up following you.
(Succeed, and it will end up following you.)
(A golden saying)
Now that's a golden saying.
- Say it again. - As expected.
When you succeed,
people will turn to you.
But they leave when you're not doing well.
Maybe it's because you mentioned it,
but this popped up in my head.
I've lent money to several people...
after succeeding.
My colleagues...
and people around me...
ask to borrow money.
But I'm bad at turning favours down.
Did you lend them money?
Sum it up, and it's over several thousand dollars.
- You didn't get any back, right? - For real.
Eight people borrowed money...
- from me. - I see.
- I've written the names down. - Okay.
- But none paid me back. - None?
- None. - Same here.
None. What a bunch of low-lives.
To those who ask to borrow money,
tell them this from now on.
Say that they ask for 10,000 dollars.
"I'll give you 3,000 dollars,"
"so just have it."
- Gosh. - I've heard of this before.
- "And never contact me again?" - Yes.
If people get 3,000 dollars out of 10,000 dollars,
they'd thank you.
No one will say, "I don't need 3,000 dollars."
- "Give me 10,000 dollars." - Right.
They'd accept 3,000 dollars and get lost.
Only then will you feel at ease.
Have you given away money like that?
Yes, of course.
Just give it and end it there.
I'm turning favours down now.
- After all this time. - What do you tell them?
I simply don't reply.
- Really? - Yes.
This year,
in 2025, I was in many shows and worked hard.
For the first time in my life,
I was nominated for the Baeksang Arts Awards...
and the Blue Dragon Series Awards.
That alone made me happy,
but I didn't win any awards.
Thankfully, my prediction was right.
Kian84!
Congratulations.
Kim Won Hun is looking kind of...
Please hide your expression.
I'm attending the SBS Entertainment Awards...
- for the show called "My Turn." - I see.
In my head,
I have a list of what I'll say...
if I ever win an award.
Is it only in your head, or did you write it down?
I wrote it down, erased it, and cried...
There are even tear stains.
(Looking forward to his first Entertainment Awards that much)
What do you think about...
making an acceptance speech...
with teary eyes?
I hate it.
- Then just make a happy face and... - I think...
- Did you... - awards are a festival...
and a happy day. Keep it happy.
- I hate when tears get involved. - I see.
But keep it your style.
Yes, carry it out with your style. Act natural.
Have you ever won an award, Kwang Kyu?
(My Star is mean.)
I'm currently asking...
the award winner.
(I'm asking the tvN Grand Prize winner.)
What's...
the possibility of me winning an award?
You should win one this year.
- I... - Your first award.
- You can. - Don't you think he'll win one?
- You do, right? - How much...
can you bet on me winning an award?
- On you? - Yes.
If you win an award, I'll treat you to food that very day.
- Really? - Yes.
- A get-together? - Yes.
(The Grumpy Secretary will treat him to a get-together!)
- Seriously? - Yes.
I'll congratulate you.
When I win...
- an award, - Yes?
- In return... - I'll sit on your lap right away.
No, don't sit on my lap.
The get-together is with our team.
- I'm in. - What?
- You have to dump your team. - I'm...
(You have to dump your team.)
- But there's even Gyeong Gyu. - I see.
I'll go back and forth between the two.
(Thinker Seo Jin's Consultation)
- Okay. - I'll mention Kwang Kyu.
He's on a roll because of how hard he works.
People who give it their all...
reap a reward one way or another.
People like them...
make me happy.
They succeeded...
after all the ups and downs.
The two have made it this far.
That's something nice to see.
Age-wise...
I think they're in the perfect age range...
when it comes to success.
If I were to review it in one sentence,
it was like...
a day filled with the smell of poop.
It's nasty, but you want to smell it again.
Like,
it wasn't all that great of a day.
But I'll end up missing it.
It was that kind of day.
What would you like to say to the next My Star?
I hope this show...
continues because...
I'm sure some people aren't grateful...
for the team they have,
since they've become a normal part of their lives.
In every moment...
and every second...
It's just...
What's wrong with me all of a sudden?
(Getting emotional)
We must've really treated them well today.
What?
- We must've done a good job. - Today...
- For real. - I've become thankful...
- What? - for my current manager.
We've completed our mission today.
We must've done too well.
I've mentioned numerous times that she's my ideal type.
She's been my ideal type since I was young,
when I was living in Busan.
Between the two...
(Choi Hwa Jeong, the Grumpy Secretaries' ideal type)
- Baby. - "Baby?"
(A romantic day with the ideal type today?)
What do you think about me?
My baby isn't bad.
That was another soulless answer.
Adjust it so that it's comfortable for you, honey.
- "Honey?" - Yes.
(The beginning of a love triangle)
(There's only one winner.)
(Eventually, they end up at a taro place to check their compatibility!)
If things go well, it'll be a perfect score.
(Sighing)
For Kwang Kyu, even as soon as tomorrow...
(All tangled up, )
(how will the love triangle of the solos end?)
Did a menu come to mind?
(Changing according to the day's climate and humidity...)
(is My Star's menu.)
I can't handle situations...
- like that... - Yes?
Cheongdam Sundae Soup incident.
(Take care of My Star's appetite!)
(My Star is a real foodie.)
(Slurping)
Did you finish it by yourself?
(Flustered)
The green onion rice is good.
Is there anything you don't like?
(My Grumpy Secretary)
