(A Seoul hillbilly, noun)

(A person who has only lived in Seoul and is ignorant...)

(of common sense that's known to everyone in the countryside.)

(Hello, Seoul hillbilly.)

I got up so early this morning.

It's probably the earliest I woke up this year.

And it feels different on the first day of shooting.

I was a little nervous.

I only heard about the title from the news.

All I heard was the names of the producer and you.

- Really? - Yes.

Am I that significant?

(Their existence...)

(will be verified on Hometown Flex.)

Where were you officially born?

Officially?

My mother was... You mean the location of the hospital, right?

No?

- Do you mean the town? - I meant regions.

My house was in Suyu-ri when I was born.

My family was registered in Dangjin,

but I changed it to Seoul.

So were you born in Dangjin?

No. That was my father's hometown.

Did you two go to schools in Seoul?

I did.

I spent the first year of elementary school in Bukgajwa-dong,

then I lived in Irwon-dong.

I went to Sinhak Elementary School in Banghak-dong.

Then I went to Nogok Middle School and Sanggye High School.

- You went to schools in the area. - Yes, they're all in the same area.

The two of you must take pride in growing up in Seoul.

- Yes. - Yes.

There's a saying.

Seoul is a combination of Busan, Gwangju, Incheon,

Sokcho, and Jeju Island,

which are all good cities.

That's why satisfying a Seoul hillbilly...

is really difficult.

We ate all types of food.

- You can find them all in Seoul. - Right.

The restaurants even have the same names.

Or the owner of the original restaurant came to Seoul.

Or his son is running it.

(At Busan Station at the same time)

Have we begun?

Come on. This isn't your first day of being on a show.

- Be natural. - It's been so long...

since I've come to Busan Station.

Busan Station.

The visitors...

(Today's guest)

They're coming, right?

- Probably. - Even if they don't...

- If they don't, we'll hang out. - We'll go to a good restaurant.

We'll spend time by ourselves.

(Somewhere in Seoul a week ago)

(The first representative of Busan enters.)

This is how celebrities wear their masks these days.

(As soon as he sat down...)

(Lee Si Eon, born in Jwacheon-dong, Dong-gu, Busan)

(Hilarious)

I haven't been on that many variety shows.

Haven't you? Isn't your regular show doing very well?

That's my only one. I haven't been on anything else.

- He's here. - Hello.

Hello.

We're here to eat. You can take off the mask.

(Jang Hyuk, born in Yeonsan-dong, Yeonje-gu, Busan)

We're just having a meal together.

- And some beer. - We will have some beer as well.

- Are you a heavy drinker? - Me?

- Do you like to drink? - Why are you using honorifics?

- Did I talk casually to you? - Yes, you did.

I did? Okay.

I met you just a few times.

You forgot that.

- Oh, hello. - Hello.

- Simon Dominic. - Hello.

- You're late. - I'm sorry I'm late.

- You should've come tomorrow. - What?

We were talking about kicking you out of the show.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Simon Dominic, born in Guseo-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Nice to see you.

So where are we going?

- It's not chosen yet, is it? - We have to eat pork gukbap first.

There's a good milmyeon restaurant in front of my house.

- A milmyeon restaurant? - You know what?

Milmyeon and pork gukbap?

Don't you think they are too famous?

- Well... - I'm not doing this then.

No. That's not what I meant. Hear me out.

Why is he being like this from the beginning?

Listen. Busan is...

famous for milmyeon and pork gukbap.

Do you want them to eat pizza then?

We can do that.

There can be a famous pizza restaurant in Busan.

What's the most famous chicken restaurant in Busan?

Let's bring them to a convenience store and buy them cup noodles.

There's a famous doughnut place in Gwangalli.

Or we can try raw eel there.

They are from Seoul. They've tried all the good dishes.

So we should let them try something bad.

- Going the other way around? - That's the plan.

(What's their plan?)

We will soon be arriving at the last stop,

Busan Station.

- Please get ready. - It's Busan.

We got here sooner than I thought.

KTX is really fast.

Did it take 2 hours and 40 minutes?

We should eat first.

- I'm hungry. - Right.

- I bet it's all set there. - I know.

(Excited)

- We're here. - Let's get off.

(Let's go have fun.)

It's Busan.

It feels like Busan Station...

- has become bigger and fancier. - I know. Something's different.

This wasn't here before.

- It wasn't here before. - Right. Busan Station...

- didn't have this. - This is new.

(There are a lot of things to see.)

- The place has become a lot better. - I know. It says platform here.

Tae Hyun.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. There's Simon Dominic. - They're wearing matching clothes.

I thought they were the station employees.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. Nice to meet you. - Hello.

- Hello. - It's been a long time.

- I know. - Oh, hello.

- How have you been? - I've been doing well.

(Sitting down)

I heard it would rain, but the weather is nice.

Did they say it would rain?

It's cool in Busan, isn't it?

In winter, it's warm...

in Busan.

- No. - They don't wear heavy clothes.

- Isn't that it? - That's not true.

- No? - It's cold in Busan.

It rarely snows in Busan.

It rarely snows, but it's still cold.

It didn't snow a lot in Seoul last year, but it was cold.

That's because...

people from a tropical region...

feel cold...

- A tropical region? - Korea isn't a big country.

Did you say a tropical region?

- It's just a figure of speech. - It's not like...

Busan is four hours away by plane.

What are you talking about?

- Do you drink hot coffee here? - Did you plan to wear...

matching outfits today?

No, we didn't.

We didn't plan it.

People from Seoul like to wear achromatic-colored clothes.

- Seoul? - Yes.

This is what we wear in Busan.

I see. It looks bright.

We think the city is like LA.

It's LA of Korea.

LA.

(You're now watching...)

(the episode in LA of Korea of Hometown Flex.)

Let me tell you briefly about our show.

Our show is where Local Representatives...

introduce their hometown to the Seoul hillbillies.

You can take them to good places...

and show them regional specialties.

- I see. - That's a lot of pressure.

- I know. - Those who live in the region...

might see the tourist attractions differently.

- I agree. - That's what I'm curious about.

Actually, Busan is nice everywhere.

I like coming to Busan Station.

- Why? - I feel good when I get off...

- at Busan Station. - I see.

It's always the same,

but I take pictures of the station every time.

The sign that says Busan Station.

But the places I used to go frequently...

- Are they gone? - They are all gone.

When was the last time you came to Busan?

I bet it was before when we last came.

When was the last time you came to Busan?

I still come to Busan once or twice a year.

- Does your family... - My friends and relatives are...

- still here. - I see.

So I come to Busan.

And I ask them where to go.

- About where to go? - I believe you have a lot to say.

Let me tell you about the rule we have.

The locals are supposed to speak in dialect.

Gosh, it's hard for me.

It's not easy for Hyuk.

- It's a big mission. - Really?

We can't force you to talk in dialect when you can't.

You should force yourself.

Just try to add an accent at the end of sentences.

- Like old people. - I know how to talk in dialect.

- Give it a try. - Say it with an accent.

But it feels really awkward.

- Say it with an accent. - Just with a little accent.

He should get a penalty or something.

You met your friends yesterday.

- I did. - They wouldn't like this.

"Hey, it's good to see you."

"Have you been doing well?" I was like this.

"Hey, it's good to see you. Have you been doing well?"

"You're here."

"Oh, I see."

You feel awkward.

I used to talk to them in dialect.

But I've lived in Seoul...

- for 26 years. - I understand.

- 26 years. - So I've changed a lot.

- I understand. - Lastly,

please tell us how you call each other in Busan.

Is there any special term?

We're on a first-name basis.

- We call each other by our names. - We're like friends.

- We call Tae Hyun by his name. - We do.

For those who are younger than us, we say hey.

But we can't do that to Seung Gi.

I can't do that to him because we just met.

- Just call me Seung Gi. - Si Eon.

That sounds like Seoul dialect.

- For example... - "Seung Gi."

I mean, it sounds so gentle.

- Is it strange? - It feels a little embarrassing.

- I feel shy. - It's embarrassing.

- Then how would you call him? - Seung Gi.

(Seung Gi)

Are we in the States or what?

- What's that? - "Seung Gi."

- What was that? - It sounds like LA.

- "Seung Gi." - "Hello, Seung Gi?"

- "Seung Gi." - His real name is Ki Seok.

"Ki Seok." We don't call him like that.

"Hey, Ki Seok. Come over here."

- That's how we do. - I see.

- "Ki Seok." - "Ki Seok."

- Exactly. - "Seung Gi, Ki Seok."

"Tae Hyun." We'd call your name like this.

- "Tae Hyun." - "Tae Hyun."

- "Si Eon." - "Si Eon."

If it's Hyuk,

it's really hard to call his name.

- How would we call his name? - For Hyuk,

"Hey, Jang Hyuk. Come here."

(Hey, Jang Hyuk!)

- But it's... - I must say...

he has a name that's specialized for Busan.

- Jang Hyuk. - For Seung Gi.

"Hey, Lee Seung Gi!" We can do this.

- "Seung Gi." - So it's like...

how Ho Dong talks.

- It sounds similar. - It's a little different.

Masan and Busan are quite close.

I know. Masan and Busan use the same dialect.

But North and South Gyeongsang Provinces sound different.

- They are different. - And it also varies with age.

Busan dialect has changed with time.

- It varies with age. - Exactly.

But he can't speak in dialect.

He knows the theory well,

but he can't speak with it.

It sounds like you're from Busan City Hall.

A city official of Busan.

And we don't say "Hey there."

- What? - Let me give you an example.

Let's say we're not that close.

"Look. Come over here."

(Look. Come over here.)

Hey, it sounds very offensive.

- He sounded a little scary. - I know.

"Look."

We mostly do this. "Yes?"

- "Yes?" - What's that?

- We say that. - What?

Did someone call you?

- Or are you calling someone? - I just answer beforehand.

- "Yes?" - "Yes?"

- I'm serious. Right? - That's true.

What's that?

"Yes?"

You should make some gestures as well.

You can't just say yes. "Yes?"

- I don't know how to do that. - I just don't get it.

It's not like I'm being rude.

You should give a glance first.

"Yes?"

You should give a glance first.

"Yes?"

What was that?

- See? - What was that?

It sounds like honorifics.

That's how it sounds.

- This is difficult. - We will learn that over time.

- You'll soon get the hang of it. - This is quite ambiguous.

It's about the sentiment.

You should learn the sentiment of the region first.

We have a lot of exclamations here.

(Giggling)

Look at Simon Dominic.

This amazing. How could he explain about dialect like that?

- It's part of our lifestyle. - Right.

(He's a professor of Busanology.)

What do we do now? I'm really hungry now.

- I see. - Where are we going?

We should eat pork gukbap for breakfast.

- Pork gukbap? - You should try it.

Pork gukbap for breakfast is really good.

(The other two members seem to disagree.)

Okay. I get it. You recommend pork gukbap.

What were you going to eat for breakfast?

I usually eat McMorning.

(It's LA of Korea indeed.)

What?

- McMorning. - McDonald's in Busan.

(McDonald's in Busan)

Hang on.

McDonald's in Busan?

It's not like there's only one McDonald's in Busan.

(There are a lot of McDonald's chains in Busan.)

I'm sorry.

We have the subway here.

We have three subway lines.

I didn't think of McMorning.

People like us eat McMorning for breakfast.

- "McDonald's in Busan?" - Anyway,

you came here from Seoul.

And Hyuk wants to treat you with Busan's delicacy.

We can start with something popular.

Yes, we have to eat the most famous dish.

Do you know a pork gukbap place?

- Are you a regular there? - I went there...

- A new place may have replaced it. - when I was filming here before.

Not at all.

It'd be funny if the owner doesn't recognize him at all.

"Hyuk! I'm a fan."

"I'm a huge fan. What brought you here?"

I had it...

when I was filming here,

and it was so good that for a month and a half,

- I ate there almost every day. - The place you're taking us to?

- Let's go, then. - Let's go.

- Let's get going. - All right.

Don't you think you're going to need some sunglasses?

People won't recognize me with sunglasses on.

People recognize me just by looking at how I walk.

Why do you walk like that?

This is how Busan people walk.

Busan people walk like this.

Don't make fun of me. My father walks the same way!

- Who walks that way? - People did back in the days.

No way.

- Hey. - I'm not lying.

It was downhill this way back in the days.

- We know. - You know, right?

(Let's dive into LA of Korea!)

I came here yesterday,

and I got lost.

- I get lost quite easily... - Right.

when I'm not with my friends.

I need my friends to take me around.

This is...

a pork gukbap town.

We could have McMorning here.

- What a hassle. - I didn't expect a McDonald's here.

Where is it?

It's over there.

- Yes, I see it. - It's that one.

Wait, why does the building look so new?

Are you taking us to your building?

Do they have your photo on the wall?

- This building looks so new. - Exactly.

It feels like we're in Seoul.

It looks like a restaurant chain we'd see in Seoul.

I think I've seen this at a market in Seoul.

- Welcome. - Hello.

- Hello. - It feels like we're in Seoul.

Welcome.

(Sanitizing your hands is a must.)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Thank you. - Hello.

- Did you relocate? - Yes, we did.

Did you move here a while ago?

We heard that this is Hyuk's favorite spot.

- Is he a regular? - Yes.

I had the pork gukbap here every day...

when I was filming in Busan for a month and a half.

- He was telling us the truth. - I wasn't lying.

(Hyuk the Minister of Gukbap's soul food)

(Pork gukbap)

I love pork gukbap.

I ate it for a month and a half and I didn't get sick of it.

(Busan is known for gukbap.)

(It's a filling, hearty dish...)

(that everyone loves.)

(Let's go and have some hearty bowl of gukbap!)

It's going to be delicious.

It's really good.

I love adding lots of chives to my gukbap.

- You have to add lots of chives. - Chives are spicy.

Top that with some salted shrimp and spicy paste and you're good.

It's sometimes nice...

- to eat with ssamjang. - Yes, ssamjang is good, too.

(What did you just say?)

You add ssamjang to your gukbap?

- Just a little bit. - Just add a little spoon.

It's here because people add it to their gukbap.

Isn't it weird to add ssamjang into your gukbap?

It sounds like it'd be salty.

Ssamjang in gukbap is good.

- Ssamjang? - Yes.

- These days? - Yes, people do it these days.

(Here comes the gukbap!)

- This is a lot of side dishes. - Can we get hot peppers?

Yes.

(Would you like a hearty bowl of gukbap?)

(It looks delicious.)

- I'm going to get sleepy after. - Exactly.

- I'm going to be so full. - Yes.

I don't know why,

but I get so sleepy in the afternoon in Busan.

That's especially the case in Busan.

- Busan especially? - Because it's warmer here.

You become more sleepy in Busan?

You're exaggerating.

- I mean it. - I can't stay quiet.

What are you even saying?

How would you get extra sleepy in Busan?

Excuse me!

(He was trying to call for help.)

Our first meal in Busan is...

the pork gukbap that Hyuk ate...

- Right. - every day for a month and a half.

I'm pretty sure I've had it at least 40 times.

Then you should be able to tell...

which gukbap is from this place just based on the soup.

(You should be able to tell the gukbap is from this place.)

Then you should be able to tell...

which gukbap is from this place just based on the soup.

No way.

(No way.)

- Is this really happening? - No way!

- Look! - The colors are different!

- These all look different. - Oh my.

- How do I do that? - Look at that.

Do we not get to eat if he can't find the one?

This is too old-fashioned.

We're really going to play this game right now?

(This is to help you...)

(to appreciate the local culture even more.)

(If you're desperate,)

(you have to win!)

Team Seoul and Team Busan will...

- play games. - Do we compete with each other?

Only the winning team will get to eat.

- Every time? - You invited us as guests.

(Let's get started right away so that you won't have to wait.)

(There are 5 bowls of pork gukbap here.)

(They're all in the same bowls with the same toppings.)

(The only thing different is the soup.)

(Hyuk the Minister of Gukbap is off to a challenge.)

(If you're a regular, you should be able to find the one.)

(His brain stopped functioning.)

- Find the right one. - We should hope that he gets wrong.

Really?

- Then... - We're definitely going to win.

There's no way he can get this right.

Either way, I'll be the bad guy.

- What's this? - You've had 45 bowls of this.

- But... - This is going to be difficult.

I told you that we should just get McMorning!

Then we would've had to identify different McMornings.

(They're setting the table to get ready for the game.)

I wouldn't have agreed to be on this show if we were doing this.

This isn't a heartwarming show.

We're all the way here.

But I need to add everything to know.

- The salted shrimp and everything. - Add them.

- That'll help me better. - Go ahead.

But the flavor of the soup will change.

But I always eat it with the toppings.

Then it's the spicy paste from here that you like, not the soup.

- You've never had it plain? - No, I haven't.

- This is bad. - We're doomed.

He has never had it plain.

- You've never had it plain? - Never?

He always had it with all the toppings.

He never had it plain.

(Will Hyuk be able to identify his favorite gukbap?)

Try some to start.

- Start with the first one. - Try them all.

I've had a lot of pork gukbap in my life,

but never like this.

What are we doing?

When would you ever play a game like this?

What's so special about this place?

- The soup is very rich. - Very rich?

Then you'd know.

But that could just be the spicy paste.

It might've been the spicy paste.

Just try it.

I even add ssamjang into my gukbap.

(Let's stop talking about ssamjang...)

(and start the taste test for his favorite gukbap.)

Try them first.

What are you starting with?

You're starting from the fourth one?

(He's trying number 4 to start with.)

(Sipping on the soup)

It looks the clearest.

(He's tasting the soup.)

- That's not it? - Should we eliminate it?

This one is good as well.

- Is it this one? - This is your first one.

- This one... - What do you mean, "as well"?

- This is your first one. - You've had one so far.

I didn't think...

that this would be the one,

- but this one could be it. - It looks so clear.

(The Minister of Gukbap's Review)

(Number 4 is clear but rich in flavor.)

(He's now trying number 5.)

(He's shaking his head.)

- That one isn't it, right? - It's not.

(This isn't it.)

- He knows. - How do you know?

This one isn't it.

(Number 5 is definitely not the one.)

- The fifth one looked richer. - Yes.

(The gukbap-lier is continuing on with his taste test.)

You have to try it to know.

(He's trying number 1.)

I think he'll be able to get it right.

(Come alive, my taste buds!)

They all taste slightly different.

I think he might be able to succeed.

(Number 1 is slightly different from what he's used to.)

(He's trying number 2.)

(Tasting the soup)

These two are very similar.

- Is this one rich, too? - Yes.

- But the colors are different. - Completely different.

It's slightly different to make it harder for him to identify.

(Number 2 is also very rich.)

We don't add any artificial seasoning.

- I know, but it's hard. - Don't give him hints!

- Why did you tell him? - Why did you?

- Can't I give him a hint? - Absolutely not.

- Not at all. - You can't.

- No, that defeats the purpose. - That's not fair.

Here goes the third one.

(He's a regular, he should know.)

(He's tasting number 3.)

That's not it?

(The gukbap-lier is very serious.)

Is it the one?

Are you still not sure?

This one is different.

Is it new to you, or is it familiar?

Does it just feel different?

I think it's either 2 or 4,

but the third one hits different.

(It hits different?)

Maybe that's because it's good.

(He's obviously the Minister of Gukbap.)

- It means the third tastes better. - Right.

- He just wants more of it. - It's his new favorite.

(He's weirdly attracted to number three.)

(They're eliminating the ones that are definitely not the one.)

This one is certainly not the one.

The fifth one isn't it.

- Are you sure? - This one.

I thought it'd be richer,

but it's not as rich as the fourth one.

(He sounds very confident.)

Let's eliminate number 5.

Let's eliminate it.

- The answer is at the bottom, yes? - Yes.

- This isn't the one. - Are you sure?

- Yes. - Here we go.

(They're playing the game of elimination.)

(Round 1 of Find the Gukbap)

1, 2, 3.

What? Seriously?

(Number 5 was the one.)

(Game over)

(He's jumping out of his seat.)

(Even the spectators are baffled.)

The fifth one was the one.

What was that?

The fifth one is the right one.

(Mr. Jang Hyuk.)

(He failed.)

No way.

The fifth one was the one.

(He did find it at the first try. He just eliminated it instead.)

I told you that I don't use any artificial seasoning!

Nice!

- He tried them all. - I told you.

He eliminated it right away.

He said this wouldn't be the one.

(No breakfast for Team Busan)

Can we check the answer right away?

- Are they beef-bone soup? - These soups are all similar.

Let's check the ones Jang Hyuk said were closest to the original.

- That would be these two. - These two.

(Trying gukbap number 4)

(He had a feeling as soon as he ate it.)

(The Minister of Gukbap seems a little intimidated.)

It's hard to tell without the spicy paste.

- It's number 4. - Number 4.

(Gukbap number 4 impressed Jang Hyuk's taste buds...)

(with its richness.)

1, 2, 3!

Instant Sarigomtang Noodles!

I told you!

(Runs away)

I told you.

Of course that would taste good.

No wonder it tasted so familiar!

This seasoning tasted perfect to my taste buds.

- This is salty! - It tastes quite salty.

Just a whiff of the soup, and you would be able to tell.

- Of course this wouldn't be right. - Hyuk!

(We were looking for a soup that had a similar color to gukbap.)

(And we ended up with Sarigomtang Noodles!)

(So we received help from the powder of the instant noodle soup.)

(Thank you, Sarigomtang Noodles!)

At the time, I had a good feeling.

- The seasoning is outstanding. - Anyone would know this is wrong.

I was really surprised earlier.

I knew I've tasted this before.

This soup...

even without the spicy paste, it's seasoned perfectly.

Hyuk, did you drink a lot last night?

I think I was attracted to the taste of its richness.

The soup isn't rich!

I think Hyuk did that so that the Seoul people could eat.

That's not true.

He should've been able to tell this wasn't the right soup.

Strangely, I'm attracted to this one.

He says he's attracted to this one today.

Let's try this one out.

I don't know why, but I'm attracted to it.

This also tastes familiar.

(This tastes familiar as well.)

Hyuk, this tastes more like seolleongtang.

Yeah, doesn't it taste like seolleongtang?

This...

(What about this, Seung Gi?)

I'm 100 percent certain I've tasted this before.

- This is... - What is it?

This is very well-known in Seoul.

- What's that? - It's very well-known and...

It's from Seoul?

Isn't this...

from Sinseon Seolleongtang chain?

I know this for a fact because...

back in 2009, I was in a drama...

- based on this restaurant chain. - That's right!

- Is that right? - This is their standard soup.

Are you talking about "Brilliant Legacy"?

- I've watched that show. - "Brilliant Legacy".

Because of "Brilliant Legacy",

my drama debut was a bust!

- What was the drama? - Drama "Friend, Our Legend".

(Si Eon shares TMI.)

- It tastes similar. - If that's right, you're amazing.

I'll go film their TV commercial right away then.

1, 2, 3.

Sinseon Seolleongtang!

(That chain...)

This is awesome!

Awesome! How did you know?

- Let's do the commercial together. - Let's do it together.

- Awesome. - I told you I was attracted to it.

(Let's get cast together on the TV commercial.)

Hyuk is only drawn to the soup developed by large companies.

- Large companies! - Sarigomtang Noodles.

The noodles are from a large company, too.

You like that large company style.

Hyuk, are you sure you've eaten the gukbap 40 times?

Let me taste this. What is this?

Now, I'll try...

- I'll add some spicy paste. - Do you want spicy paste in?

- Maybe that's why I was wrong. - That's the reason.

The soup was really good. It had a rich flavor.

Spicy paste, and what else?

- Spicy paste and ssamjang. - Ssamjang.

- You added ssamjang, too? - Yes.

Hyuk, you should add as much paste as you would like.

Hyuk, the gukbap would taste very different after adding those in.

A huge difference.

That's why you added paste a lot.

(He already mixed the paste in it.)

Hyuk has the taste buds of a little kid.

At the time, the pork gukbap was...

(A professional gukbap hacker)

You don't like the natural taste of the gukbap, do you?

- Plain version. - You don't like the plain one.

Doesn't look too different so far.

Hyuk, try it out and see if it tastes the same.

This is it!

(This is it!)

Yes, this is it.

We should have done this from the very beginning.

I would've gotten it right if I could eat it with the paste.

(Having a sip)

(Shocked)

- The ssamjang is... - This is too spicy.

This has too much paste.

Hyuk, this is a completely...

- different type of gukbap. - This is just ssamjang soup.

Doesn't it taste like malatang?

- It's spicy. - It's a little like malatang.

The original soup is actually very good.

- He put a lot. - So you don't need to add much.

I like spicy soup.

That's why I ate the soup like this.

Hyuk is a hot guy.

What an embarrassment in my hometown.

The owner's face turned dark all of a sudden.

- Well... - When we walked in,

he was in a great mood.

(Warm versus cold)

Introduce this place...

- to the viewers. - I'm sorry for the wrong answer.

- But this place is really good. - If that's the case,

you should pay upfront some money under your name.

We could do this.

We could pay upfront for 10 bowls of gukbap now...

and select a lucky winner through Instagram.

- By a lucky draw. - On the channel's account...

- Let's have a lucky draw. - "Try the gukbap that..."

"Jang Hyuk couldn't guess."

- We could do that. - People could come then.

The restaurant Jang Hyuk frequently visits.

(Okay. Idea noted!)

Would it be okay to have the losing team...

pay for the gukbap on your way out?

- Ours? - Use their card?

Do you want us to pay?

You are Team Busan.

Paying for 10 bowls!

- Hyuk's not paying? - He can't even talk in dialect.

You can blame him for that.

Hyuk can't even talk in dialect.

- He's also the richest among us. - Okay, right.

The three of you can figure it out.

Please give us our gukbaps now.

It's okay. I'll pay for the gukbap.

(The first meal of Hometown Flex is the pork gukbap.)

(Enjoy the boiled pork and the pork sausages, too.)

Thank you for the meal.

You have to add some chives into the soup.

- Here we go. - Enjoy gukbap the way you like.

(Pork gukbap eating show begins.)

This is really good.

This is so tasty.

(Seung Gi takes a bite with kimchi.)

(So yummy!)

- Isn't it good? - Yes!

I told you it was good.

If you think pork gukbap is too heavy for breakfast,

then you are wrong.

I really want to have some pork sausages.

(I'll eat some for you.)

(Wow, the boiled pork is so good.)

The boiled pork is so good.

(In pain)

- This gukbap is blowing my mind. - One bowl of gukbap...

will make you feel full for the whole day.

(Gaze 1, Gaze 2, Gaze 3)

You guys will feel sleepy during the afternoon.

At least we won't feel sleepy later.

Like Hyuk said, you get drowsy after meals in Busan.

- You'll feel sleepy around 2pm. - You were fiercely looking at us.

- But we won't feel sleepy, though. - We will feel fine.

Thank you.

This show is a lot of fun.

We can't even eat.

You should each take a piece of boiled pork. It's so good.

The boiled pork...

Funnily enough, there are only two pieces left.

Should we play a game?

Should we give these to only two of them?

- How about a timing game? - No, no.

- No, it's okay. - Two.

- 1. - 2.

Good.

You two can have it.

(Takes a quick bite)

He would repent.

- We played the game already. - These two can have the sausages.

Have some kimchi, too.

(Bitter)

I'm full just watching them eat.

(I'm full just watching them eat.)

- This is really good. - Add some paste.

Isn't it really good?

Come try this place. It's really good.

- Really. - Gukbaps will be under Hyuk's name.

(Your gukbap...)

(will already be paid for.)

Pick the one that stands out.

I hope it's not me.

Excuse me, sir.

- This should be too obvious. - The names are hidden anyway.

- Right. - Yes, that's right.

Let's hide the names.

(I hope it's not my card!)

(I'd rather pay for it.)

(The card has been selected!)

- Did you do it? - Yes.

Did you choose one?

Whose is it?

It's mine.

(Winner is Lee Si Eon.)

(Clap)

He couldn't even eat any.

Since we're in Busan, I'll pay for 10 bowls.

- Awesome. - Impressive.

This is Busan.

Thank you.

- I'd rather... - Thank you for the meal!

(Smiles but feels sorry)

I told you how much I like you.

But Hyuk,

what were you trying to say?

I feel so bad.

(The one who recommended gukbap, the one who paid for the gukbap)

(Hometown Flex will pay for 10 bowls of gukbap!)

We were so excited...

that we messaged each other all night.

- Really? - Simon Dominic and I.

- We couldn't go to sleep. - We talked about outfits today.

- Really? - He asked if I'd dress up.

- "Why would I?" - "Will you dress up?"

- "No, no." - That's interesting.

Is it because you two were visiting your hometown?

- There is that excitement. - Really?

Does it feel different from other shoots?

- The place. - It felt different for me.

- It's the place. - I've filmed movies...

and dramas here.

But it feels completely different.

We work in Seoul.

So we naturally miss Busan.

I didn't know this when I was actually living in Busan.

I didn't really like it here at the time.

I didn't like going to Haeundae.

It was too far. I would never go.

I wouldn't go to Gwangalli, either.

We go to Haeundae as soon as we come to Busan.

But now, because I live in Seoul, I miss Haeundae.

- That's right. - I miss the waves.

- For no particular reason? - Exactly.

It doesn't feel that special when you actually go there.

(Hometown Flex)

Come on up.

- Shall we go? - Let's go.

Is that a foreign car?

Are we riding a foreign car?

It's a foreign car!

These are the cars we picked out for you.

- Should we just get on? - What is this?

Are these cars for you?

I've prepared you these cars.

- I got you some BMWs. - Flex!

Stop looking! Hurry up and get in the car.

This is awesome.

I haven't been on this kind of car in Busan.

(Where is our next destination?)

Taejongdae.

- Place to walk around? - A good place would be...

Taejongdae.

There's a cliff.

You climb this cliff. There are a lot of stairs.

I used to go there a lot.

(Busan's attraction recommended by Jang Hyuk)

(Taejongdae)

(A long-time vacation spot for Busan citizens)

(A famous field trip destination, Taejongdae)

When we get to Taejongdae,

you will feel like you're in Busan.

With this weather, we'd be able to see a lot of things.

- It'll be good. - The weather is perfect.

(Driving off to Taejongdae, Jang Hyuk's destination...)

(with the Seoul Hillbillies.)

The car is driving smoothly.

- Is this car on gasoline? - It's a smooth ride.

Must be gasoline.

Feels like some high-quality gas.

High-quality gas.

(They're driving along the beach and getting some fresh air.)

Look at the ocean on the left side.

People get on boats here.

It feels so exotic here. It feels like I'm in Singapore.

- Right? - Singapore.

(There's a waterway for ships across the city.)

(They're crossing the Busan Bridge and heading to Yeongdo.)

(Now that I think about it...)

The Busan Bridge is actually pretty new.

- Is it? - Yes.

(It was finished in 1980, so it's 40 years old.)

The Gwangan Bridge is also quite new.

- You're right. - Even we know...

that the Gwangan Bridge is new.

(Even the Seoul hillbillies know that the Gwangan Bridge is new.)

Yes, we know when that was built.

My last memory of Busan is...

when the Hyundai Department Store opened.

- The Hyundai Department Store? - Yes.

It's in Beomil-dong.

Really?

- That's my last memory here. - You're basically...

a Seoul hillbilly.

You didn't have to research online...

to join us today, did you?

Next time we pass by there...

- Before you come to Busan. - That was so long ago.

(Keep driving along Yeongdo,)

(and you'll reach Taejongdae.)

There were so many jjamppong places around here.

- Jjamppong restaurants? - Yes.

What a scenic drive.

(They've arrived at Taejongdae after driving in the sun.)

Real men park front.

(Real men park front.)

- What's that? - Real men park front.

(He's braking suddenly.)

(Thump!)

Real men park front.

Busan people drive so rough.

That was a rough stop.

Isn't "The weather is a killer!" a Busan phrase?

- The weather is a killer. - The weather is a killer.

- Killer... - You have to put the emphasis...

on "The".

You have to say it like this. The weather is a killer.

- That's how we say it. - The...

- Not like that. - He doesn't seem to agree.

You have to say "the"...

like this.

- The weather is hot. - The weather is hot.

- Back in my day, - It's so hot.

- Right on. - we...

Here comes another old story.

Should we go get some coffee?

Coffee?

Who wants iced Americano?

- Me. - The three of us.

I'll take a hot latte.

A hot latte?

There's a heat warning today!

- What's wrong with you? - Even the barista is laughing.

(She couldn't hold her laugh.)

- You're really serious? - Has there been...

any other customers today who ordered hot latte?

He's the first one, isn't he?

Make it real hot.

- Make it piping hot. - Make it piping hot, please.

I like my latte hot.

- Hello. - Five adults, please.

- Five adults? - Yes.

- They're roundtrip tickets. - Okay.

It's so nice here.

We've been trapped inside for so long.

- Isn't it so refreshing? - Yes.

It's so nice here.

(You can walk right up to the ocean.)

(Amazed)

What's that island over there called?

(What's that lonely little island?)

What's that lonely little island?

I didn't know such a place existed.

What's that lonely little island?

He wouldn't know.

Back in my days, that island didn't exist.

- You're lying. It's an island! - How is that possible?

Maybe the tide is low right now.

Are you saying that it's an artificial island?

It's so nice here.

Let's start walking.

- Sure. - Let's go.

Let's get on our way.

- The weather is perfect. - It's spot-on.

(It feels like they're on vacation.)

I feel like I'm on vacation.

It's a vacation.

It's wonderful here.

(Walking around Taejongdae just makes you hum in happiness.)

And it's a relief to know that I'm with locals.

But we need a map.

And it's a relief to know that I'm with locals.

- Look here. - He has a map.

- He's holding a map. - He's looking at it.

- He's definitely from Seoul. - He's a Seoul hillbilly.

What kind of a local needs a map?

I'm a half-Busan person and a half-Seoul person.

(Hyuk the half-Busan person is leading the Taejongdae tour.)

We're going down from here.

- Is it downhill? - Yes, it is.

Do we have to walk back up later on?

- Yes. - That's precisely right.

- Or we can take a boat. - You want to go somewhere else?

Can't we take a boat to Haeundae?

- This is going to be rough. - It's a punishment.

The stairs are so far apart.

- Climbing down is harder. - You have to be extra careful.

You keep going down this way,

and the path will lead us to the ocean.

And we're eating lunch down?

- We're eating lunch there? - Yes.

We're eating lunch already?

We have to eat to get the energy to climb back up.

Right.

- Look at the ocean. - It's emerald.

- The color is different here. - Let's go now that we've seen it.

Shall we?

(Let's go now that we've seen the ocean.)

I think we're only halfway down.

- Look at the color. - It'll be fine.

The ocean looks infinite.

It's infinite.

We've come down quite a bit.

(The gem of Taejongdae is finally being revealed.)

(The Yeongdo Lighthouse)

This is incredible.

We have to keep going down.

- We'll keep going and... - We're going further down?

There's a path?

I hate that there's a path down.

I wish that there wasn't.

I should've just taken you all to Gwangalli.

Millak Fish Market is the best for raw fish.

(That's a local spot.)

- My goodness. - Oh my.

(Their legs are shaking.)

- This is bad. - Our legs are already shaking.

It better be amazing down.

We're almost there.

There's a spot!

There's a spot here!

- Is it there? - Yes.

What's there?

Come here.

(When you walk through the tiny tunnel...)

- I see it! - What's that?

- What's that? - We're eating lunch there.

- It's where we're eating raw fish. - Really?

No way!

This is amazing.

(There's a tiny female diver village hidden behind the lighthouse.)

(It's a local favorite, where you can eat fish and watch the waves.)

Raw fish tastes so good...

when you're sitting down there.

- It's going to be amazing! - This is where we eat raw fish.

I'm already drooling because of the scenery.

The stairs are no joke.

I remember coming here two years ago...

and vowing to myself that I'll never come back here again.

It's Seong Gi.

- Really? - It's him.

It's Seong Gi and Tae Hyun.

- Look there. - It's Seong Gi.

- No way. - Seong Gi.

The guy in the front is the guy from "The Slave Hunters".

- Isn't that Tae Hyun? - He's from "The Slave Hunters".

- It's the handsome one. - Welcome!

- It's Jang Hyuk. - Yes, it's Jang Hyuk.

- Lee Si Eon! - Hello!

- Hello! - It's Cha Tae Hyun.

- The second guy is from Busan. - That's right.

- I've seen him before. - It's Lee Si Young.

- Hello! - Yes, I've come here before.

- It's Lee Si Young, right? - It's him.

- Hello. - You've come a long way.

Good work.

- Thank you. - The view is amazing.

It's quite something, isn't it?

It's absolutely incredible.

There's halibut here.

Yes, that's halibut.

That's sea squirt.

- And that's conch. - That's right.

There's also octopus and some sea cucumbers.

The view is incredible.

You're all so handsome.

The view is...

- A killer. - a killer.

How long has this place been running for?

It has been a while. It has been over 50 years.

Our mothers passed the business down to us.

We're all daughters and daughters-in-law.

- Over 50 years? - Yes.

How do we order?

Get seated first,

- and then order. - Let's sit.

Where should we sit?

Anywhere over there.

We're sitting out there?

Yes, over there.

Don't get me wrong, I love it here,

but just the thought of eating right here is...

I don't think I can eat.

I feel like I'll become a fried fish in the sun.

(Awkward)

I've heated the seats up for you all.

Hyuk, it's nice and toasty, just as you like it.

It's the warmest room in the house.

(The dazzling sun is blazing down on this seat.)

We don't want your handsome faces to get burned.

(Parasol)

[VIU Ver] E01 'Hometown Flex'
"Let's Go to Busan, the City of Summer & Foodies"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Synced with Subcake Android

- Thank you. - Let's get seated.

Thank you.

Nice.

See? There's a reason for everything I do.

It's really nice.

(Their table is set, so it's time to order.)

(Looking around)

Yes?

Yes?

- "Yes". - Here!

(They joked about how this is how you call other people.)

(He's not being rude.)

- Yes? - Yes.

- Yes. - I'm on my way.

- I'm coming. - That's hilarious.

This is so funny.

What would you like?

We'll get some sea cucumbers,

sea squirts,

- Conches! - and some conches.

- We'll take them all. - Okay.

(Busan flex)

People in Bush and Seoul both do that.

(They're giving a thumbs-up,)

(but that doesn't mean that they'll get to eat.)

We're only going to give chopsticks...

to the winning team.

The losing team has to bring their own.

Bring our own? From where?

From the convenience store.

From the convenience store.

(Frowning)

- You want us to go back up? - It's not that far.

(You have to climb all these stairs under the sun.)

We have to bring chopsticks from the convenience store?

You can eat after that. It's optional, though.

Hyuk said that he came here when he was a student,

and a lot of Busan locals also say that they came here as students.

So, think of a game that you played like students.

What games are there?

I don't know. I haven't been on variety shows like this.

Seung Gi, come up with something.

Hold on. I'm thinking. She's chopping the food now.

- She's preparing the food. - You've played a lot of games.

Should we play the odd-or-even game with conch?

- Just with the conch. - Only the conch.

Just with the conch.

Would we be odd or even?

- You can pick first. - We would choose the leftover.

Since there are three of us, we'll choose odd.

- Okay, then we're even. - We're even.

I have a feeling that it'll be even.

(Lunch Round 1)

(Guess odd or even with conch)

(The winners will receive 3 types of seafood.)

Wow, that looks so good.

Taking another look at them now,

and they look even yummier.

- This side is the conch, right? - Right.

Chopsticks, please.

(Conch, sea cucumber, sea squirt)

(Will conch pieces be odd or even?)

Team Seoul bet on an even number.

Team Busan bet on an odd number.

Let's see. This is the conch, right?

Yes, the conch.

Odd.

Even.

- I can't watch this. - Odd.

Even.

Wait a minute. There are two pieces.

No, no.

That's even.

- I don't think we can eat again. - I feel nervous.

Odd. Even.

Odd. Even.

Odd.

(They are so serious.)

Even.

- Odd. - I don't like seafood...

- but I want some. - Even.

Odd.

- No way. - Even.

What is that?

- Is that conch or what? - Odd.

- That's conch. - Okay.

Odd.

It's an even number!

(Seoul Hillbillies win 3 types of seafood.)

I don't know what's going on.

- Wait a minute. - There isn't any left.

- That's all. - Try to look for more conch.

There isn't any left.

What should we do?

Isn't this a piece?

No, that's not conch.

There's none left. That's it.

- There's none left! - That's all.

(The youngest is already on his way to get some chopsticks.)

Let's go. Let's go.

(Unintentionally wins another round of local delicacies)

(Along with the hike comes physical fatigue)

- Si Eon, I'm so tired. - Oh, man.

If we want to make them angry...

we should finish all the food before they come back.

Should we do that?

What's going on today?

- Hello. - Excuse me.

Do you happen to sell any chopsticks?

Is there another game?

- Should we grab more just in case? - No, no.

There shouldn't be another game.

(A bad feeling falls upon them)

I think we'd have to come up here again.

(A bad feeling falls upon them)

(They are enjoying a feast.)

The conch is so tasty.

My legs are shaky now.

This isn't a talk show.

This is a show where you suffer.

I don't even like seafood.

Hurry up, you guys.

What if they finished everything when we get there?

Hurry. There's a lot left over.

- My legs are shaking. - Was it that far?

When I was halfway there, I was about to give up.

It's a tiring climb.

Let's have some food now.

What happened to all the conch?

There's no conch left?

That's the only seafood I eat.

(A Busan local who cannot eat sea cucumber or sea squirt)

- I can't eat these things. - Oh my.

Did you do this on purpose or was it that good?

(Did you do this on purpose or was it that good?)

The conch is so good.

It's so chewy.

This is great.

Should we eat all the conch?

We should eat quickly.

(It was so good. We couldn't help it.)

(How about some sea cucumber or sea squirt?)

That just tastes like sea water!

The conch has okay texture.

Have some of this while you can.

Simon Dominic is really angry.

He's eating onions.

Onions!

You guys are so good at variety shows.

We couldn't help it.

We did it out of habit.

No one forced us to do it.

We were trained to do this.

- Wow. - Doesn't it taste good?

Why do you eat this stuff?

- Is it bad? - Is it good?

- What did you eat? - How does this taste good?

(Doesn't understand)

Forget it.

(Forget it. I'm eating onions.)

- I'll just eat some vegetables. - Just wait until dinner.

You can have McMorning then.

They don't sell McMorning in the evening.

They won't have McMorning.

Then you can have McEvening.

McMorning!

Are you feeling uncomfortable, Hyuk?

No, no. I'm okay.

On the way up, Hyuk didn't say a single word.

I thought it would be a relaxing travel show.

- Did you? - He's angry, too!

- He's... - Hyuk isn't saying much.

Hyuk is sitting in a typical angry pose.

His pose tells you that he doesn't want to be on TV.

It's the angry pose you do during the holidays.

- Like when you're with your family. - I'm comfortable.

He's totally given up.

(Lunch Round 2)

What do you want to order?

- Conch. - Conch, please.

Oh, conch?

Conch, conch!

Conch, please.

(Nods silently)

There was a pile of bottle caps next to the ladies.

Did you see them? Soda bottle caps.

Let's use them to play just for the conch.

- Should we play for conch? - Bottle caps?

Since Seung Gi had both breakfast and lunch,

he is full of energy!

His voice is so energetic.

Yes?

Over here, please!

- I'm on my way. - Conch, please.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Next to the chopping board,

there was a pile of bottle caps.

- Do you want them? - Could you bring them for us?

- Yes. - Okay.

(Okay!)

Seung Gi is full of vitality.

- Wow. - Auntie, a lot of conches, please!

This is the secret.

Eating conch will make you feel like me.

I didn't have any conch.

After you eat the conch.

I had a piece of pork sausage in the morning...

and had a bite of this, just now.

Seung Gi, I only had one bite.

(Typical angry pose)

She's here.

(A plateful of conch enters.)

Ma'am, please hand me the bottle caps.

Let's do it.

(Odd-or-even game for a plateful of conch)

Let's just stick to the odds.

- Odds! - We'll go with the odds!

- Then we'll be the evens. - Okay.

(Seoul Hillbillies are the evens.)

One. Odd. Even.

Odd. Even.

Wait a minute. Tae Hyun, open up your hand.

(Caught redhanded)

You took one?

You took one so you could mess with the game!

What are you doing in the first round?

Odd. Even.

Odd. Even.

- Odd. - Let us eat this time.

(Wants to eat)

- Odd. - Okay, I won't do it.

Cover them up.

(Not many bottle caps are left now.)

He just felt it. He felt them with his hands. He knows now.

Even.

Odd, right? We win.

- Let's just eat. - Yeah, you guys should eat.

- Odd. - Yeah, it's us.

It's time for us to eat.

(There are still bottle caps left over?)

(Sigh)

(Is there any left?)

Even!

Even!

(Throws the chopstick)

Why are you throwing the chopstick, you fool?

- Let's go. Let's just go home. - This isn't our fault.

Come on, you guys. Let's go home.

- The sea squirt is tasty. - Let's just go.

Let's have some sea squirt before we go.

- It's hilarious. - This...

- I have to eat this again? - I'm so full.

My stomach is about to burst.

Eat some onions with it.

Simon Dominic, do you want some?

No, no. I don't want to anymore.

- Do you want some, Hyuk? - No, no.

Do you want some, Si Eon?

- I want some. - Hey!

What's wrong with him?

Where's your pride, Si Eon?

Busan people are full of pride.

Hold on. Let's play another game.

We'll give you this whole plate.

We'll give this whole plate to just one person.

Name 5 famous beaches in Busan.

Songjeong Beach, Haeundae,

Gwangalli, Dadaepo Beach...

- Time's over. - Time's over.

- The last one is missing. - Simon Dominic.

Songjeong Beach, Dadaepo Beach,

Haeundae, Gwangalli...

- Time's over. - What other beaches are there?

What beaches are there, Si Eon?

What's left?

- It's Hyuk's turn now. - Hyuk!

You don't have to say "beach" every time.

Why are you saying that when it's Hyuk's turn?

Because you both said "beach"

Songdo, Haeundae, Gwangalli,

Songjeong, and Gijang.

Time's up!

- What happened? - Is that right?

- There's no beach in Gijang. - Does Gijang Beach exist?

- No, no. - No, it doesn't.

What?

Dadaepo, Gwangalli, Haeundae,

- Songjeong... - Time's up!

- Time's up! - You were so close!

Simon Dominic! Dadaepo, Gwanganlli, Haeundae,

Songjeong, Songdo.

- Is there a beach in Songdo? - Songdo Beach exists, right?

- There is one in Songdo. - Is there one in Songdo?

- There should be one. - There's one in Songdo.

That's correct!

(He won, but this victory doesn't feel good.)

(Bitter)

(Has no energy to talk)

I can't eat this all by myself.

- That's the Busan loyalty. - Busan loyalty.

- Busan loyalty. - People of Busan are loyal.

We all suffered together.

(Agrees)

- You have some. - Have a taste.

- You're loyal. - Have a taste first.

If you get too full, then we'll eat.

Wow, this is really good.

(Lightens up)

- Doesn't it taste good? - Isn't it good?

- It's really tasty. - That's delicious.

I understand why you guys finished all the conch.

- It's really good. - Exactly.

- It melts in your mouth. - It melts quickly in your mouth.

- But loyalty... - Loyalty!

(After having a taste, he can't help but think about his colleagues.)

People of Busan are loyal!

Are you ready to let go of your pride?

Hyuk is very adamant.

A promise is a promise.

- Let's see! - Will Hyuk eat?

We know they're loyal.

Hyuk, I think I've seen this from "The Slave Hunters".

I've seen you eat while you cried.

- Yeah, I did do that. - Have some.

How can I not eat when Simon Dominic is offering?

That's right.

- He chose loyalty over his pride. - That's good.

- Isn't it? - Hyuk, you were...

my idol when I was young.

I wanted to be like you, Hyuk.

I heard that you lived in my area.

You were a legend in my area.

We heard that Hyuk used to live there,

but no one had seen him.

He was like a unicorn.

That's because he didn't live there too long.

I did online chatting using your photo.

His high school graduation photo.

Jang Hyuk's graduation photo was found on the internet.

Online chatting was very popular when I was in high school.

There was an academy for mock tests in downtown Seomyeon...

where I attended with three of my friends.

We were there one day.

None of us had studied,

so we decided to use fake names.

So I used "Jang Hyuk".

My friends used "Jung Woo Sung" and "Bae Yong Joon".

After the first period was over, the teacher came in.

He said, "Jang Hyuk!"

"Jung Woo Sung!"

"You two, get out."

(Meanwhile, Bae Yong Joon survived.)

What is that?

(This is haenyeo village,)

(where you can enjoy quality time with your friends and family.)

Eat up!

- Thank you! - Sure.

(A joyful lunch at haenyeo village)

Let's take a break at a really nice cafe.

It's about time we visited a cafe.

- Yes, let's do that. - This cafe used to be a factory.

They rebuilt a factory into a cafe.

- A factory? - Yes.

- That's interesting. - They do that in Seongsu-dong.

- You're right. - This place is kind of similar.

- It is kind of like that. - How do you know this?

(Si Eon's Yeongdo Attraction)

(A cafe in Yeongdo)

(Yeongdo-gu, Busan)

(Once called "Kangkangee Village" for its ship repair industry)

(Yeongdo has changed.)

(Building retains their industrious appearance.)

(A modern attraction...)

(with an array of foods and styles)

(Shall we take a break at a trendy cafe?)

- 5th floor? - All the way to the 5th floor?

What's happening?

Looks like Busan has a lot of hills.

- Gosh. - Why is this happening to us?

First, we had to come up the hill and now we have to climb the stairs.

- Oh my gosh. - Goodness!

(Their attitude completely changed.)

He's really enjoying it.

Gosh, it seems like...

it is quite amazing up there.

- This is Busan. - Nice view!

Wow, this is great!

Amazing!

(No matter how tiring it is, there is a reason to climb up high.)

(The IMAX rooftop view)

- Look at how open the view is. - Gosh.

I can't believe this is a view from a cafe.

(This is crazy.)

If you look this way...

(The Yeongdo ocean view is breathtaking.)

This place was obviously developed quite recently.

What made you decide to bring us here?

I think he brought us here to make new memories with us.

I have fond memories of social media...

Look over here. What is that?

(A complete view of the Busan Harbor Bridge...)

(can be seen from this rooftop.)

This is really amazing.

How can the water be like this?

This is picture-perfect.

Let's take a picture.

Simon Dominic, come here.

1, 2...

(A photo against the Yeongdo shoreline)

(Making new memories at Yeongdo, Busan)

(They move indoors to hide from the sun.)

(Beautifully designed interior)

(Fully air-conditioned rooms)

(They can pleasantly enjoy the view.)

- It's here. - Your drinks are ready.

For the two of you.

One rooibos tea, one flat white.

- We should celebrate. - Let's toast.

- You guys did well. - Thanks.

Only 30 minutes ago, we had raw fish at Taejongdae.

And now we are suddenly at a cafe in Yeongdo...

It feels like we're making the best of our time here.

What is this? It's delicious.

(Hot drinks even in hot weather)

It's not very common for a group of guys...

to spend time at a cafe.

Guys also rarely order a cake.

I feel energized eating this.

This is actually pretty addictive.

- The ice cream? - It's delicious.

- This tastes perfect. - Yes.

I never knew Yeongdo was this nice.

It's really nice.

But to me, it looks a bit rough. It's a little...

There are wharves, industrial zones...

- Wasn't there an old drama... - I think it was "Piano"...

- That's right. - "Piano" was filmed here.

- Even the lyrics... - The song lyrics went like this.

(The fishy smell from the waterfront)

- Yes. - It's exactly that.

But even from how I remember it,

Yeongdo was a bit dark.

There weren't many lights around the city.

- It's so good. - I couldn't imagine it.

- I wonder how it looks at night. - I want to see the night view.

(This is Yeongdo's night view.)

This place became so hip.

(A moment later)

(I can't talk right now.)

(The street that made who you are today)

(How much of it do you remember?)

I have to go to Busan National University Station, right?

Yes, Busan National University Station.

Simon Dominic of Busan!

Really...

(Simon Dominic's birth)

(Busan National University Station)

It is a really meaningful place to me.

So is that the place where you started rap?

Well, I started it around 1998.

My friends told me...

about an academy that taught breakdancing.

So after school, I went there.

But when I went there, I realized it was a live club.

The club was called "2pac".

- You know Tupac, right? - Yes, Tupac.

- American rapper? - Yes, the American rapper.

I was loitering in the front, and the owner came to me.

He said, "What are you doing here?"

I said, "I heard this is where I can learn how to breakdance."

- How old were you then? - I was in grade eight.

- Grade eight? - Yes.

So the owner told me to come in.

He said we could talk about it.

So I went in and saw a bunch of hip-hop CDs.

The TV screens were all playing different hip-hop music videos.

It was a whole new world for me.

So at that point, I asked him...

if I could regularly come to hang out.

He said I could if I come before opening hours.

He said we could come and practice breakdancing and rapping.

- And one day... - He was really generous, wasn't he?

Yes, exactly.

So while I practiced breakdancing,

I also did some rap.

Every weekend, they held a hip-hop concert.

And the people who performed were...

Ryang Hyun and Ryang Ha.

(Ryang Hyun and Ryang Ha)

There was also O Bo Wang.

- It was a famous b-boy team. - I know O Bo Wang.

It stood for "Come and see we are the king".

- "Come and see we are the king"? - They were famous.

- They were quite famous. - O Bo Wang.

The owner one day told me to prepare a performance.

So I went over there to practice,

but a few customers were there, maybe 5 or 6 of them.

I asked them, "Would you like to listen?"

- Your rap? Hip-hop? - Yes.

- The song that I had prepared. - I see.

So I performed in front of them,

but their reaction wasn't great. I mean, it was only a few people.

But that moment... I don't remember what happened.

I was so immersed at the moment that I don't remember much of it.

I was so nervous I don't remember how I did.

("Simon Dominic" by Simon Dominic)

(1998, my hometown at that time was a hip-hop barren state)

(Ra.D and Keep Roots You two are my origin)

("J2B" by DAMOIM)

(This live king's start was Club 2pac in 1998)

(His early days still make his music today.)

In a way, that owner...

is responsible for guiding your musical instincts...

as a musician.

Yes, because he allowed me to make my first performance there.

(He was a key figure in Simon Dominic's life.)

But anyway,

I was utilizing that given space to its fullest.

One day, I went there after school,

and suddenly, outside...

I heard a sound like this.

I thought, "Why do I hear fast beats..."

- "instead of hip-hop?" - Yes.

So I went through the door,

and the place had changed into a disco club.

That must have been the old rock cafe.

- Back then, discos were popular. - That's right.

So after it changed into a disco club,

I stopped going there. I was also very young.

- I was going through puberty. - You were feeling rebellious.

I thought the owner was a good guy.

But after it changed into a disco club, I never thought of going back.

(Live club, around the time when it changed to a disco club)

I didn't have a place to go,

so I went to the bridge that we are going to now.

- That's where I practiced. - Oh, this is the place?

(Live club, around the time when it changed to a disco club)

(Lost stage My rhymes are countless)

(I can't find it now My demo tape from those days)

(Purer than that I can't serve it anymore)

- Busan National University Bridge. - Busan National University Bridge.

(When I rapped in freestyle)

(At Busan National University Bridge and Busan Station Plaza)

(It was my first prime time)

(When Garion came to Busan, I took my knock-off sneakers out)

(I ran anywhere)

(Looking at Master Plan, I wanted to be in Seoul)

(My dream was four hours away by train)

(Without my parents' faith, I had no power)

(Anyway, music made me take the first step of my life)

- That's how it goes. - Gosh.

The first verse tells how it was doing hip-hop at a young age.

I can tell that this has stuck with you for a very long time.

That's right, it was the most important moment.

- It was my prime time. - Your prime time.

It was a high point in my life. Something like that.

It is a kind of history.

It is my history. A history I cannot leave it out.

It gives you your color.

Musicians have their own color and style.

(There is another Busan-born musician.)

We need to listen to this too.

Which song?

(Music playing)

- Let's raise the volume. - This is...

Loud music is dangerous.

- This beat... - What is it?

The lyrics are difficult.

- Gosh! - This is Jang Hyuk's song!

- I was so surprised. - T.J!

You need to get the lyrics right.

People nowadays don't recognize T.J.

(T.J, Jang Hyuk's stage name)

(Jun Ji Hyun, age 20)

(Jang Hyuk, age 25)

It was in 2000.

(When you turn to look at me I feel dizzy in your eyes)

Sounds like this could be Korea's very first ASMR rap.

- This is ASMR. - Right.

(Singing)

(That was the problem.)

(I know.)

(I'm a fool.)

This song goes really well with Gwangan Bridge.

It's really good.

(Laughing)

This neighborhood is so beautiful.

(So good)

This neighborhood is so good!

I feel good!

(I can listen to "Hey Girl" every day.)

I feel so good.

Driving in Busan is not easy.

It feels good to be in Busan.

The weather is so hot today.

Wait. This is my song. Why are you playing my song?

This is a great song.

We should all sing along.

I used to like this song a lot.

I regret my love for you. I foolishly trusted you.

I remember the expression Tae Hyun used to have.

When I was singing,

the fans would chant my name yelling, "Cha Tae Hyun"!

- It was just so funny. - Isn't it funny?

When you hear that...

Seung Gi, it must've been hard for you to sing.

For me as well,

once you hear that, it's over.

When you hear the chant, it's too funny.

- You can't concentrate. - I lose my concentration.

It was so embarrassing for me.

(Rising star of 2001, Cha Tae Hyun)

(The time when bright lights were all over him)

(Powerful moves)

(Cha Tae Hyun, Cha Tae Hyun.)

(We will always be by your side.)

(Your innocent smile...)

(will always be in our hearts.)

(We thank you, Cha Tae Hyun.)

(We remember you, Cha Tae Hyun.)

(We love you, Cha Tae Hyun.)

(We remember you, Cha Tae Hyun.)

("Please" by Lee Seung Gi.)

Everyone wants to sing this song.

("Forbidden Love" by Kim Kyung Ho)

(He goes back to his original job.)

(Way too engrossed)

(The full version will be available online.)

You have to turn this song off immediately after the first verse.

I'm excited that we're going to BNU area, Simon Dominic.

Why is that?

I used to go to the BNU area a lot.

The BNU area! I used to hang out there.

There are a lot of good places there.

It's been so long since I've been to Jangjeon-dong.

Jangjeon-dong. We just need to go a little bit to get into the area.

I used to come out here.

Si Eon, you also have fond memories of the BNU area, huh?

I used to go to the BNU area a lot.

There were some famous colatecs, including Jijix.

Exactly. Jijix and 2pac.

When 2pac turned into a colatec,

I was so heartbroken.

- Oh, my goodness. - Si Eon, it's BNU.

This is unbelievable.

That's the subway station.

Wow, we're here.

(The place that excited the hearts of the youth of Busan)

Let's go this way.

People are already excited to see Simon Dominic.

This is Simon Dominic's power.

Simon Dominic! Simon Dominic!

They're welcoming me with open arms.

Thank you, everyone. Thank you!

(Ddongdari, BNU)

We ran 10km.

It's Simon Dominic, the pride of Busan.

- You're so handsome! - Thank you!

Simon Dominic!

This area would've looked quite rough before development.

- It was rough. - The atmosphere must've been crazy.

I didn't know a place like this even existed.

I've never been down here before.

I've been to the BNU area so often.

There are some hip-hop graffiti still left over from the past.

- Was this here before? - It was, but there was even more.

But this is...

(It feels strange to be back.)

- Wow, what is that? - What is that?

(Everyone is surprised.)

Who is it?

Who is that, Simon Dominic?

(What is this mural?)

In the past, murals like these could be seen here.

- This used to be here. - I see.

That's right.

This space used to be filled with graffiti like this one.

I see. We saw some on our way here.

(This space was once filled with graffiti.)

As for me, this is the first place I go to...

as soon as I come to Busan.

I come here and walk around.

This would be the perfect spot to walk around.

When I was still here,

this was the place where I would hang out with my friends.

I would turn on a cassette...

and go along with the beat.

(Start by following the beat.)

(Yo! I'm 051 Busan.)

- 051 Busan? - It's the area code.

Yes, like that.

(You are 02 Seoul.)

- Exactly. That's it. - 02 Seoul?

051 is Busan?

053 is Daegu.

Each rapper would use the area code to represent their hometown.

(I represent 051 Busan.)

(I live in Seoul, but I still use Busan dialect.)

Like this.

We would be doing freestyle rap, rapping whatever we could think of.

Simon Dominic is impressive...

because he did hip-hop during our time.

In Busan, there was a negative image.

Back in 1998, like in my lyrics,

Busan was a hip-hop wasteland.

People thought hip-hop artists were no different from gangsters.

Older people said we were too loud.

They would swear at us.

Because the subway trains pass over the bridge,

it was already very loud. And it was underground.

- Right. - Right.

Even though we were loud, no one cared about us here.

People would come here. B-boys would come and dance.

Graffiti artists would use this space as their canvas.

I practiced my rapping here.

Now, I'm in the major music scene.

But my roots are right here, in the underground.

I still keep it underground.

I want to protect the underground scene.

That's what I would like to do, at least.

Simon Dominic, Simon Dominic.

Do you want to hear a song here?

- A song? - We will play a song for you.

What song is it?

What are you guys doing?

(The last mural that the staff prepared)

Is it a music video?

(At a space where Simon Dominic's memories are...)

A glorious return home.

(Simon Dominic's "Simon Dominic")

So this is where you...

This feels different.

I got goosebumps.

Oh, what is this?

(In 1998, my hometown was a hip-hop wasteland.)

Did you guys make this?

(Instead of being a bad boy, I wore my uniform and flip-flops.)

This isn't your music video, is it?

This isn't it.

They made this for you.

(When 2pac turned into a colatec,)

(my countless rhymes lost their stage.)

They didn't do this for Hyuk.

(Deeply engrossed)

(I can't make music that is purer than then.)

Ddongdari and Busan Station square.

(Ddongdari and Busan Station square)

(Travels back to those days)

(Swag)

Taking a video would be meaningful.

Simon Dominic, turn around.

(Si Eon's camera)

(Music made me take my first steps.)

(Awesome.)

(All the guys raise your hands.)

You look so cool!

(Say my name louder)

Everybody!

(Simon, Simon Dominic)

(On an emotional rollercoaster, getting excited and emotional)

This feels different.

This feels so... I got goosebumps.

(We all get a glimpse of Simon Dominic from 22 years ago.)

(Jeong Ki Seok from 22 years ago)

Wow, this is just...

Why are you doing this to me?

On our way here, he told us.

We talked about this.

And in all of Simon Dominic's music,

the year 1998 was very important.

This was when he started music.

- Simon Dominic got goosebumps. - Actually...

- Actually... - He got emotional.

When the video came up,

I got very emotional. So I had to stop myself.

Looks like this is where they spent all the production budget.

(Chuckling)

We'll stop taping now. It looked great.

It was so touching.

This feels so great, reliving memories.

Totally reliving those memories.

(More emotional than Taejongdae)

I'm glad everyone had a good reaction.

I'm glad everyone's enjoying it,

even though it's our first time.

Before we go, we'll do something.

Go in and sit over there.

What is this? Another game?

They've fooled us again.

- Oh, man. Not again. - Are we playing another game?

They keep on fooling us.

This is going to be a game.

We're playing a lot of games.

- What is this? - Are we signing autographs?

We must be signing autographs.

Really?

We're going to see who gets the most fans, huh?

- Who gets the most fans? - Who runs out of the paper first?

We will have a popularity battle.

What, this is just...

(Frustrated)

This is going to be tough.

- Wait a minute. - This will be tough.

- How many sheets are there? - Around 10?

This is going to hurt my pride.

(Busan hip-hop's hot place, Ddongdari gave birth to...)

(the star, Simon Dominic.)

(And his fun friends)

(Three Busan Representatives)

(Two Seoul Hillbillies)

It's the locals against Seoul Hillbillies.

You meant for us to sit like this, right?

This is even crueler than games.

If it was up to me, I would get their autographs, too.

I would go to Lee Seung Gi.

(Being honest)

There will be a home ground advantage.

- No, there won't. - That's not the case.

Wait a minute. Then how are we going to do the autograph signing?

We will randomly select 10 Busan citizens,

who are passing by this area.

- Just 10 people. - 10 people.

This is a very cruel show.

You never told us this.

Have you already selected 10 random citizens?

The staff probably mentally trained them already.

(Laughing)

We are not cheaters.

But there are three of us.

But they have Lee Seung Gi.

That's not true.

(Lee Seung Gi is more recognizable than the other three combined.)

They're Lee Seung Gi and Cha Tae Hyun.

(Cha Tae Hyun is just like Lee Seung Gi.)

We might have an advantage over anyone middle-aged.

That's how it's going to go.

First local, please come in.

Who will it be?

(The country stars are smiling and clapping.)

Welcome!

(The Busan stars are looking very stern.)

(Wow)

Hold on!

She first looked at me.

- That's good. - She looked at me.

Please introduce yourself.

Hello, I'm Lee Ji Won...

and I live in Busan.

What brings you here today?

Hold on.

Seung Gi is talking too much.

You can interrupt me anytime.

I have nothing to say.

How long have you been a fan of this person for?

- How long? - Yes.

When did you become his fan?

I was a fan since birth.

(She was born in 1998.)

- Since birth? - Since birth?

You're lying.

No, I'm really a fan.

You sound like you were brainwashed.

No, I'm just very nervous.

What's your favorite thing about this person?

His face.

(Here are all types of handsome.)

Face?

Then Si Eon is not it.

(My face is charming.)

It's me.

- We don't know it yet. - It's me.

Sure.

You may approach your star in three.

I'm getting so nervous.

1, 2, 3.

(She's running right to Seung Gi...)

(even before he's done counting.)

(Is it going to be Seung Gi as expected?)

Three!

(Is it me?)

(No, it's not.)

(She ran up to him,)

(then turned right.)

(She chose Simon Dominic.)

I got goosebumps.

- No way. - I thought it'd be me.

I really thought it'd be me.

I'm so embarrassed.

(He's getting very talkative because he's embarrassed.)

(I'm sorry.)

Seung Gi, you sounded far too confident.

I was too confident.

I guess this is indeed Simon Dominic's hometown.

- I can't beat him. - I'm Simon Dominic.

- Your name is Ji Won? - Yes, it is.

- Ji Won. - Wait,

you were a fan of Simon Dominic since birth?

Yes, he's from my hometown...

and he's a great singer.

What's your favorite song?

"Gang Official Remix."

- "Gang Official Remix"? - "Gang Official Remix"!

- "Gang Official Remix"! - The recent one?

Yes!

You barely performed it, and she still knows.

But that's a very recent song.

That's her favorite.

I've been listening to it on repeat.

- Really? - Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

(They're doing a safe handshake.)

- Thank you. - Thank you!

We're off to a good start.

I got more goosebumps now than when they played the video.

I mean it.

Team Busan is winning.

The second local, please come in.

- Hello. - Hello.

My name is Jeong Ye Rin...

- and I'm 22 years old. - Ye Rin.

Which part of Busan are you from?

I'm from Sasang-gu.

Sasang-gu!

- Sasang? - Shinmora Intersection!

- Wait. - Don't do that.

You can't try to lure her with your local knowledge.

It'd be so sad...

if she goes to someone else after that.

Why do you want an autograph from this person?

(Why do you want an autograph from this person?)

Because he's kind.

(The guessing game begins now.)

Because he's kind?

(The keyword is kind.)

Tae Hyun is known for being kind.

Maybe it's Seung Gi.

So, Seung Gi is handsome and kind?

He's everything.

- I think we're the kinder ones. - No,

I was betrayed earlier.

I was fooled.

Doesn't Simon Dominic swear a lot on TV?

(He swears quite a bit in his lyrics.)

I do have a lot of swear words in my lyrics.

And Hyuk had some roles where he had to act scary.

He had a lot of scary roles.

(Si Eon is also eliminated.)

I'm getting hopeful now.

(She's approaching Team Seoul as expected.)

(These are the two candidates.)

All right!

(Tae Hyun is the chosen one.)

(He has maintained his kind-looking face for the past 26 years.)

- That's our team! - All right!

Nice to meet you. Your name is Ye Rin?

- Isn't it exhilarating? - Yes.

- Thank you. - Thank you!

- Thank you. - See you.

- We're even. - It's 1 to 1 right now.

- That's good. - Right on!

- Hello. - Welcome.

My name is Lee Jung Hwa...

and I'm 21 years old.

Ms. Lee Jung Hwa.

Maybe there are so many students...

because we're by Pusan National University.

Are you a student at Pusan National University?

- No. - But...

I attend Busan KyungSang College.

- Busan KyungSang College. - That's also in Busan.

Is that by Yeonsan-dong?

- It's around Yeonsan-dong, right? - Yes, it is.

I think Song Kang Ho graduated from the same school.

- I'm also from there. - Goodness.

They're from the same school!

We have alumni here.

- This gives you leverage. - Hold on.

This is unfair.

It's not like that makes them come to us.

You can go up to your star in a count of three.

1, 2, 3.

(She's passing right by the Seoul hillbillies...)

(with a shy smile.)

She's coming our way.

(She's not going to her school's alumni,)

(either.)

(She's heading straight to Si Eon, who was hurt.)

No, I can't shake your hand.

Great!

No way.

(That was so unexpected.)

Seung Gi!

(See that?)

It clearly has been far too long since I've come to Busan.

The film crew didn't make you choose me, right?

No.

- I'm your fan. - Thank you.

How can the score be so close like this?

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Have a great day!

(He's trying to act cool.)

Could I get some water?

I'm getting thirsty. Could I have some water?

I think he needs some soju.

May I have some vodka if you have some?

I need to get drunk.

Maybe I should drink the hand sanitizer.

- It has a high alcohol content. - The fourth local, please come in!

It's 70 percent ethanol.

Hello.

(Bae Gil Tae, 26)

I don't have a good feeling about this.

- He looks hip-hop already. - He looks like Simon Dominic's fan.

- You can go right away. - Of course it's Simon Dominic.

It's me again?

- My goodness. - Lucky you.

(He's very happy.)

I could tell right away...

- that he was Simon's fan. - Definitely.

Simon has actually...

- helped me before. - How?

My parents actually own...

a store upstairs. It's called Red Kiwi.

- Sorry? - Red Kiwi.

- Red Kiwi? - Yes.

I've been a regular since I was a kid.

- Red Kiwi? - Yes.

You're the son of the owners?

You came to the school festival at Pusan National University.

- Yes, I was here. - No way.

You mentioned our restaurant on stage.

- No way. - And that helped us out a lot.

Really?

Then I would've given a shoutout...

to Golden Kiwi.

Next local, please come in.

Hello, I'm Kim Hyun Jin, I'm 25 years old,

and I live by Haeundae.

Haeundae! I go there often.

I absolutely love Haeundae.

Are you just here to hang out?

What brings you here?

I'm an engineer in Yangsan.

(Amazed)

Seung Gi, you're trying too hard.

I can say whatever I want.

But he's going overboard.

Why are you all staying quiet?

- Say something. - That's not very Seung Gi of you.

You're not being yourself.

What does it mean to be me?

- You can go now. - Please come.

Simon Dominic.

(It's Simon Dominic again.)

It's him again.

Is this a Simon Dominic special?

Hyuk's neck is on fire after going to Taejongdae.

(Hyuk got zero fans so far.)

- His neck is red. - He didn't even get to eat.

This is a bad show.

- Hello. - Welcome.

- My name is Yang Si Eun... - You attend Pusan...

and I attend Pusan National University.

What's your major?

I'm a Korean Traditional Dance major.

I love Korean traditional dance.

(He doesn't run out of energy.)

I love Korean dancing.

I've always wanted to try it myself.

Go!

She's coming this way.

(Who will she choose?)

(Yes!)

(Goodness.)

(Hyuk finally got a fan!)

- Nice. - Someone finally came to me.

Thank you.

- What's your name? - Yang Si Eun.

- Si Eun? - Yes, Si Eun.

Si Eun, why are you a fan of Hyuk?

I've watched "Voice," and "Wok of Love."

I also love his voice.

- Really? - She's a true fan.

She even knows his dramas.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

Oh, no.

- Thank you! - Thank you!

(His handshake got rejected.)

Why are you running away?

I thought she was a fan.

I guess she thought you were trying to do a martial art.

You can't look like you're trying to punch her.

I thought you were trying to smack her.

I was surprised.

My goodness.

I'm not a scary person at all.

- I should've done this instead. - You're hilarious.

Is the score 5 to 2 then?

It's 5 to 2, right?

We're way too behind.

We have to get every fan from this point on to win.

Hello!

It's a couple.

They look very young.

I'm 19 years old.

- My name is Lee Na Young. - Na Young.

I live in Haeundae,

and I'm in grade 12.

What school do you go to?

I go to Buhung High School.

(We know that school.)

Buheung!

Buheung!

You know that school, right?

- Of course I do. - Right?

- We didn't get his name. - I know Buheung!

- My name is Kim Min Sung. - I know that school.

- Kim Min Jae? - No, Kim Min Sung.

- Kim Min Sung. - Min Sung,

you're holding onto her hand super tight.

You two are holding your hands very tightly.

That's adorable.

How long have you been dating?

This is our 210th day together.

- 210 days? - That's so cute.

It has been 210 days.

They're counting the days.

You know that you can't break up after this show, right?

(Are you kidding?)

You two will forever be remembered together.

You'll have to stay together at least until college.

It's okay. You won't break up.

210 days.

Are you ready?

Go up to the person you want an autograph from.

You're going together?

They can't let each other go.

(Holding hands, Na Young is leading her boyfriend to...)

All right!

(Seung Gi!)

All right!

(At last!)

Seung Gi finally got chosen.

I'll sign another one for your mom if you'd like.

Na Young.

- I'm fine. - I'm fine.

One is good enough.

(I haven't signed an autograph in forever.)

How are you guys holding each other's hands so tightly?

I know. They look so cute together.

210 days is a long time, isn't it?

Here you go. It was nice to meet you.

You've saved me.

I was about to be really disappointed in Busan.

- The game is over. - The game is over.

(The game was over a long time ago.)

Is he our last fan?

(This fan is from a different age group.)

Hello, I'm Yoon Jung Heon,

a 48-year-old from Busan. I do interior work.

Mr. Yoon Jung Heon.

- You work in interior? - Yes, yes.

Thank you so much for waiting...

to get our autographs.

You are older than us, as well.

- You're our older brother in Busan. - Busan!

Is there someone you want an autograph from?

- Yes, there is. - Why do you want his autograph?

There is someone I've been wanting to meet for a long time.

Someone you've wanted to meet for a long time?

Someone you've wanted to meet for a long time?

Isn't that a bad reason?

Is that a bad thing?

(Silent)

- Shall we get started now? - Yes!

As for the story...

- We'll hear him out later. - We'll hear him out later.

One...

- 2, - 2,

- 3. - 3.

Please make your move.

(Who is he here to see?)

Please make your move.

(Please make your move.)

Simon Dominic!

(He yells out Simon Dominic...)

(at Ddongdari.)

- Me? - Simon Dominic!

We won, we won!

Thank you, thank you.

(The hero of Ddongdari)

(A clear loss)

We lost.

But why have you been waiting to meet Simon Dominic?

Why have you been waiting for me?

I like hip-hop...

and you rap in the Busan dialect.

I had a song titled "Eh Hey" that I did in Busan dialect.

- Same with the song, "Cheerz". - I did it for "Cheerz" as well.

You have that Busan swag.

Yeah, I don't want to lose my Busan dialect.

I like that.

Oh, yes!

(That's awesome.)

You should rap him a verse.

(I'm not an angel or a demon.)

(I'm a man just like you.)

(In this movie of life, I'm just a supporting actor.)

(All I can do is...)

(just one thing.)

(Touched)

Yes!

Busan dialect swag!

This makes me feel so...

Brother Jung Heon.

(The friendship between Busan men...)

(transcends the age gap.)

(After a touching fan meeting...)

Thank you.

Thank you.

(The sons of Busan are alive and kicking.)

We should do this again in Cheonggyecheon Stream.

Don't you guys have to go through this every time...

whether you go to Jeolla Province or anywhere else?

- I'm getting a headache. - I have a bad feeling.

This is stacked up against us.

Before we head somewhere else,

we need to make a quick stop.

This whole area has completely changed.

Are we here?

(Where are we?)

Not everyone has to get off.

Simon Dominic will go alone.

It's a video interview.

Then we'll stay down here.

This is actually where...

Club 2pac used to be.

(Club 2pac?)

(Simon Dominic mentioned a hip-hop club named 2pac.)

(It's the place where his life in music began.)

It was on the second floor.

On the second floor?

(Excited)

Right here.

There was a sign over here saying, "No Minors".

The sign was in red.

Since I was in middle school,

I wasn't allowed to enter.

So I would stand here and...

(Simon Dominic and his friends wanted to learn how to dance.)

We would peek inside. "Is this the right place?"

Then the door suddenly opened.

"What are you kids doing here?"

The owner walked out.

Now, it's a dance academy.

Why don't we go in? You can explain the space.

Okay.

- Hello. Hello. - Come on in.

(What?)

(Excuse me!)

(What?)

Aren't you the one...

This is Brother Jung Heon.

(What is he doing here?)

(Does he run this studio?)

Wait a minute.

(Chuckling)

Are you the owner?

I gave you so many hints. How did you not recognize me?

(Loss for words)

No wonder. You looked familiar.

(Simon Dominic's first producer...)

(has appeared before his eyes.)

Good to see you, kid.

(Former owner of Club 2pac, Yoon Jung Heon)

My goodness.

(An unbelievable rendezvous)

I ran all the way here.

Look at me sweat.

Have you...

have you been here the whole time?

No, I came here for the show.

I thought it would be meaningful...

for you to come back here. So I asked for permission.

(The most appropriate place for the first meeting in 20 years)

(Chuckling)

Wow, sir.

(The two of them met for the first time in 20 years.)

Wow, this is so...

When you made your debut...

I was wondering if this Ki Seok was the Ki Seok I knew.

I didn't know you would try to look for me like this.

All of a sudden,

Club 2pac turned into a colatec.

And I didn't really come here again.

(Simon Dominic was angry at the club owner.)

Even the colatec disappeared all of a sudden.

Because I was young...

I was really disappointed.

For some reason, I...

Yes, yes.

It was 1998 back then.

That's when the IMF crisis hit.

I couldn't help but think about realistic issues.

Exactly. Back then it was...

I created a space for aspiring hip-hop artists.

It was a space for them to perform.

We were doing well.

Then I lost sight of my goal.

And then it was all gone.

(His dream disappeared because of the challenges of reality.)

(The story this little kid never heard)

(The story of an adult)

But the fact that you still thought of the club...

and you kept this place in your heart...

It was really...

(If this place had meaning to someone...)

unimaginable.

I was always curious about this place.

But I had no means of contacting you.

But somehow I got contacted...

through a friend of a friend.

It's really good to see you again like this.

(In 1998, Mr. Yoon was 26 years old.)

It's good to see you.

How have you been, Mr. Yoon?

I work in construction.

Oh, right. Interior work.

- I do interior and construction. - Did you do the interior for 2pac?

I did that, too.

(What's going on?)

He was the owner of Club 2pac?

This is Jung Heon. He got my autograph.

The one who got the last autograph.

It's nice to meet you, Si Eon.

(Dumbfounded)

He's the owner of Club 2pac.

Yes, I...

- Wow, goosebumps. - Seriously?

So, Simon Dominic, you didn't recognize him?

He had been wearing a mask.

And...

You can't be like that.

(You've got to be kidding me.)

I couldn't remember...

the name of the club owner.

It's good that you two got to meet.

The memory you have of Mr. Yoon 20 years ago...

Did he look the same then as he does now?

He stayed exactly the same.

That's when you were 14?

When I was 15.

When I was in middle school.

Did Simon Dominic catch your eyes even during those times?

He was always full of it.

(He was always confident.)

He pretended to be a good fighter.

But there is another person...

who would like to see Simon Dominic.

- That person's waiting. - What?

There's one more person. Could she come here?

Who could it be?

(It's a new customer.)

How would he recognize her?

(How would he recognize her?)

(Simon Dominic is speechless.)

Hey!

Do you remember me?

Are you A Ryeong?

No.

(Who's that?)

You know too many ladies.

It was all so nice until now.

You should've stopped here.

Hold on.

She's related to 2pac?

Yes, she's relevant.

I met him here at 2pac.

- How? - What do you mean?

Are you...

- I gave you a cola. - Cola?

Whenever you came here.

Cola?

- Cola? - He doesn't remember.

This is bad.

- This is terrible. - It was so good until now.

I don't remember drinking cola.

I used to work here part-time.

You were a part-timer here.

You would come here after school at around 3 to 4pm...

with your friends.

And you were all broke, so there were 4 to 5 of you,

but you only ordered two colas.

And you'd go into the corner...

to practice with your friends,

and ask me for refills.

You were like that.

He was just a middle school kid to you,

but he made a strong impression.

I was here at the bar,

so I watched you kids.

It's not a very big space.

It felt very big when I was a kid.

Simon was such a little kid back then.

He was tiny.

I'm still tiny.

Right.

- And your team name was Black Area. - Yes, Black Area.

We called ourselves Black Area.

I can't believe that you remember.

Of course I do.

You remember it all.

(Simon was different from the other kids in her eyes.)

It makes sense that he can't remember you.

To Simon,

this place was all about hip-hop and music.

That's all he came here for.

But in your eyes,

it was certainly memorable to see such a talented kid...

working so hard.

Did you recognize him when he debuted?

Yes, I knew right away.

I also lent him a CD...

back in the days.

I don't have any photos,

but this is 2pac's CD.

(It's 2pac's CD, which Simon still loves.)

I used to love hip-hop,

so I had a few imported hip-hop CDs.

(She was a cool lady who taught him hip-hop.)

(I see.)

That's so cool.

I was on the train to Busan with Simon,

and he told me all about 2pac,

how he lived and died.

He went on and on about 2pac.

(His taste and talent were found here in his hometown,)

(but boys who leave their hometowns easily forget...)

(where they come from.)

How does it feel?

You're seeing her for the first time in 20 years.

- It has been 22 years. - 22 years!

She knew that you were special from the start.

Well,

I'm speechless.

I don't know what to say.

(Simon is suddenly choked.)

This is...

(He's suddenly so grateful and feeling bad at the same time.)

Don't be like that.

(Gyeongsang Province men don't cry.)

I still can almost see him...

walking in here with his friends.

There were always 3 or 4 of them,

and he was the smallest but he was the leader of the pack.

He brought them here,

and he was the one who asked me...

- if they could hang out here. - He was a special kid.

(I've been watching you...)

(grow into the person that you are.)

(In a person's journey to becoming an adult,)

(they grow and learn from so many people.)

(It's okay if you've forgotten.)

(As long as you're beautiful and healthy,)

(your hometown will forever be happy for you.)

(The preview of next week's episode will be revealed soon.)

(First hometown, Busan)

(The second story)

(After visiting for a day,)

(did the Seoul hillbillies become Busan locals?)

You're a Busan local now!

(You got it going.)

(Right?)

(What are they saying?)

(You still have a long way to go.)

- What's that? - Be careful.

(Not only the Seoul hillbillies,)

(What's that?)

(but also the Busan locals were surprised...)

(by the true charms of Busan.)

Hey!

(Don't you think you got Busan wrong?)
