Original subtitles

(Today's spare time, Mok-dong)

We have a friend who will drain us today.

- I feel at ease. - Really?

It's my body that'll feel uncomfortable.

But I feel emotionally at ease with them coming.

Actually,

the bigger guy is rather easier to control.

But the other friend is very tiresome.

I actually find him more comfortable.

He handles you when I stay still.

It'll get exhausting with him here.

To think it's the final episode of the season.

- Gosh, time really flies. - Goodness.

- For real. It's already... - Time really flies.

By the way, why have we gathered so early in the morning?

It's because of the Whenever Guest, right?

Our time adjusts according to theirs.

You talked behind my back, didn't you?

I didn't.

You would've talked behind my back for the early shoot, right?

- "Because of Jae Suk..." - Well...

- No. - Really, you...

That's not true. Our Whenever Friends today...

- They're morning people. - are morning people.

Aren't they?

What you want to truly say...

is that the Whenever Friends are quite old, right?

(Setting the shoot schedule to the old friends?)

Their eyes would open automatically at 6am.

Yes.

- Didn't we find the nicer word, - Yes.

"slow focusing?"

- "Slow get up." - Yes, slow...

(While recalling the ending season...)

Let's do this!

This is...

- Is this the place? - Is it?

(Singing)

It's a coffee shop.

(The two old guys enter with a folksy reaction.)

- About two days. - They're here.

Goodness.

- Hey. - Hi, Kim Thug.

Here you are.

Okay!

- Hey. - Okay!

Hi.

(Today's Whenever Friends, Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Jong Kook)

- Come over here. - This way.

Yes.

(Coming out to greet him)

The number you have dialed does not exist.

(The experienced Whenever Friend is relaxed.)

- Okay. Coffee. - Jong Kook.

- Good. - Nice.

- Gosh. - Okay.

Why have you dressed up, unlike in "Running Man?"

I'm on this show as a guest.

- Jong Kook. - It's different.

- You even got your hair done. - I'll do it.

Of course.

Where do we sit?

Where do we sit?

We're guests. Where do we sit?

- Where do I sit? - Over there.

(Complaint resolved)

(Happy)

- Jong Kook. You got your hair done. - I...

I'm on a different show.

I couldn't come here like a mess.

- You've got manners. - Of course.

- "Running Man" is different. - These pants...

Goodness.

The energy is different from the very beginning.

Exactly.

- Bread! - Goodness.

- We even got bread. - Thank you.

We're going to have sugar spikes first thing in the morning.

- With bread, you know? - Come on.

Must you spoil the mood? I was about to take a bite.

Okay.

- Jong Kook. This is yours. - Did you have breakfast?

- I did. - It's egg mayonnaise.

I'm happy with eggs. It's eggs on salt bread.

- Aren't you fine with this one? - Yes.

- He doesn't eat salt. - No, I do.

A moderate amount of salt helps pump up the body.

The body needs salt.

It's for your morning pump.

- Yes. - Goodness.

- Salt is a must. - How tiring.

- It's good. - Sodium isn't bad for you.

- In your daily life... - Just eat it!

- If... - Put it in your mouth!

- If you rarely work out... - Just put it in your mouth!

- If you rarely work out daily, - Dig in.

You need to cut down.

- For those who work out regularly, - Gosh.

A moderate amount of salt helps pump up the body.

- It's good. - Goodness.

But why did I come with him?

- What? - Why together?

The episode with you...

- as a guest was a hit. - Yes.

But inviting you alone again would be awkward.

Bingo.

That's why I was invited too.

- I had... - Goodness.

I had another suspicion.

- I'm worn out. - The shoot is early in the morning.

So I thought a Whenever Friend canceled last minute.

(A no-show by the Whenever Friend)

The guest didn't want to come here...

- We had this conversation. - this morning.

Jae Suk and I had the same conversation.

Why are we gathering so early in the morning?

If you use one of your members carelessly, in the future...

That's not it.

Don't use your members so carelessly.

- Today's Whenever Guest... - Yes?

- has time early in the day. - Is that so?

That's none of my business.

That's none of my business, is it?

The Whenever Guest had an early spare time,

but there weren't celebrities who could come early.

- That's none of my business. - You...

How could they wake up this early in the morning?

That little...

(The infuriating duo)

How annoying.

I went to bed not long ago after playing soccer.

I woke up after a few hours and came here.

It's like I never slept.

Yesterday was Thursday,

- so you played soccer. - I did.

- Did everyone attend yesterday? - Jonathan didn't come again.

- Why do you keep bullying Jonathan? - Don't...

- be mean. - He...

promised to come but didn't show up.

As the one running a soccer club, such things...

- Yes. The numbers have been set. - Exactly.

- Thinking you can be absent... - How many came yesterday?

Many came yesterday.

What's the problem then?

One member not showing up isn't a big deal.

Isn't it cold to play right now?

It was cold yesterday.

- So... - But you get hot as you run.

Yeon Seok. He doesn't have much time left.

- Do you mean his cartilage? - He'll have to quit soon.

- He won't be able to run one day. - "Do you mean his cartilage?"

It won't be my cartilage.

I won't be able to play soccer once I'm married. Isn't that the usual?

Right? I can't work out at that hour, can I?

- Can I? - Why would you bring up marriage?

I'm already old enough to get married.

Do you still intend to get married?

- Bring it up when you start dating. - Of course, I intend to.

Didn't you say you had a girlfriend in LA?

- No. - He has a kid in LA.

- He has a kid? - Yes.

(Not responding to rumors anymore)

I heard he was about to become a grandpa.

(I heard he was about to become a grandpa.)

(Choking)

He's becoming a grandpa?

(Laughing)

He's insane.

- He already has kids? - Because of you,

- Are you married? - elderly people...

really believe it.

And many at that.

(The source of the rumors)

Jong Kook is fine with everyone else...

- but finds him a handful. - He's a handful.

Tae Hyun doesn't know what to say and what not to.

(Laughing)

The rumors...

They've had this chemistry for almost 30 years.

A chemistry of 30 years.

- He's like my first-ever friend. - Exactly.

After my debut in 1995.

- The first celebrity friend, right? - Yes.

He'll become a grandpa at the end of the year.

That's enough.

(Wiping)

How sweet of you.

Do you not take care of your eyes, Jong Kook?

I don't, but I've become farsighted.

- We don't call it farsighted. - What do you call it?

- Slow focusing. - Slow focusing.

- "Slow focusing?" - Yes.

- Not bad, right? - I like it. Slow focusing.

- Not bad, right? - Is it different?

- It is. - Has this been brought up before?

Slow focusing.

- The nuance. - It feels different.

I heard there was a procedure for presbyopia.

- There is one. - I went to an eye doctor...

- for a checkup. - What was the result?

The doctor told me the following.

Presbyopia is like a flying arrow.

The procedure can be done when the arrow hits the target.

The doctor put it in difficult words.

- So... - How is this difficult?

- When it hits the target... - Presbyopia gets worse, right?

Rather than doing it while it's getting worse,

- it should be done at the endpoint. - In short...

When the farsightedness can't get any worse...

Get my permission before drinking mine.

- We can order another coffee. - I mixed yours in mine.

- I didn't drink yours. - Everyone, they're not fighting.

- It's just... - We're not.

- It can cause a misunderstanding. - Exactly.

- They're showing affection. - Showing affection.

You still looked into it.

- Of course, I would. - Yes.

Jong Kook...

has changed a lot after suffering from gout.

- Yes. - Did you have gout?

I'm fine now. I've gotten a lot better.

Does it get better?

- If you look after yourself. - By taking care of yourself.

It does.

Jong Kook shouldn't drink beer.

Beer is...

I didn't get gout despite drinking so much.

- Come on. - But you quit drinking, didn't you?

I had no plans to quit drinking. But suddenly,

I stopped craving it and stopped drinking it.

- That can happen? - Is that how you quit?

I just naturally stopped drinking. There was no resolution.

Did you suddenly stop craving it after decades of drinking?

- Right? - Is that possible?

- It turned out to be possible. - Jung Min...

I carry around alcohol-free beverages.

- Why? - You drink alcohol-free beverages?

I should still attend gatherings.

Or should I always stay at home?

Should I? When I'm already at home...

- because I have no work? - But...

he drinks about 5 to 6 cans...

of the alcohol-free beverage.

Drinking that makes me feel like I'm drinking alcoholic beverages.

- Is that so? - I have fun for about 3 to 4 hours.

- He looks drunk. Seriously. - Right?

It's a blessing that Jong Kook came today.

Because Jong Kook is here...

Had it only been him, we would've been anxious.

Tae Hyun is very...

Being with Tae Hyun puts me at ease.

- Right? - Tae Hyun's the one...

who helped people discover Yeon Seok.

- Yeon Seok? - Yes.

You know Yeon Seok's "When the Phone Rings?"

It's hot among the old ladies.

Oh, that?

Bring Yeon Seok up, and the old ladies go wild.

- But why? - Is it that kind of a story?

It wouldn't work with just anyone.

People like you and I never make it on their online community board.

What about us among the old ladies?

The old ladies...

- They have a league of their own. - Seriously.

But Jong Kook has a different path, you know?

He's popular among fitness enthusiasts.

(A weighty path Jong Kook is taking)

- When Jong Kook hits the streets, - Right.

People who look like exercise buffs...

- That's true. - only have eyes on Jong Kook.

The fitness enthusiasts...

(A sincere bicipital cheer)

- You can easily tell... - Fitness enthusiasts...

- a fitness enthusiast. - Totally.

- They're easy to notice. - Yes.

- They cheer each other on. - Exactly. Cheer...

- and touch each other. - And touch.

- And the reaction. - Right.

"Do you do lower body exercises?"

"It seems like you do." Something like this.

The other party loves it when Jong Kook does this.

- Totally. - Goodness.

- Gosh. - Goodness.

(The fitness enthusiasts' link)

Fitness enthusiasts commune and chat.

It's time to check the spare time.

- Okay. - Let's check it.

- We chatted away. - Chatting...

We almost missed the spare time because of you two.

I'm not too sure if we had a chat or a fight.

- What? Where are we going today? - We...

- Now... - What's that?

We must check out our Whenever Guest.

Our business cards have...

We have to get there by 9:20am.

Let's hurry.

- By 9:20am? - "Kim Ye Rin."

- Ye Rin. - We only have 15 minutes left.

"Kim Ye Rin."

- Ye Rin. - Ye Rin. It's a lady.

"From Monday to Friday, I take the first train to work."

(The first train?)

"We feel relieved after cheering up..."

"the workers going to work..."

"and the housewives' mornings..."

"with our incredibly cheerful morning call."

What does she do?

"Please recharge my team's dopamine."

She must do something in the morning...

- with office workers, - What is her job?

- like working out. - Like...

- a morning exercise? - Aerobics?

- Aerobics? - Something like that.

- It must be aerobics. - Really?

We don't have time. Roll it, Jong Kook.

People who exercise before work must be admired.

- Seriously. - You're right.

Here I go. In 1, 2, 3.

As long as it's not a zero.

What's the number?

- No. - Gosh.

You can't use your foot.

- No. - Hey.

- No. - Again.

- For real? - I'm rolling it again.

- I'm sorry. - It was one before.

- It's become a habit. - Again.

Do it again since he kicked it.

- We have to throw it together. - Together.

- In 1, 2, 3. - In 1, 2, 3.

I've fallen into that habit.

Okay!

- What is it? - You can't change it.

Okay!

- I knew it. I told you. - See that?

(Laughing)

- See that? - It needed teamwork.

- As expected, they're different. - You two are amazing.

- You are different. - Okay.

- They are indeed incredible. - The coupons.

- You've got to act like the boss. - Gosh.

We got three coupons.

Let's go. We're running out of time.

A car has been prepared for us today.

- Really? - Yes.

What a nice car.

It's pretty.

White is indeed the best.

It's a nice car.

Where do we sit?

- Take the backseat. - Come here.

Get in the backseat.

- I'll take the passenger's seat. - Gosh.

(Today's driver)

- Seat belts. - This is...

I haven't ridden one in a while.

(Closing)

- This right here. - What?

Only luxurious cars have this function.

This is great.

Even the front doors do that.

- All doors have that function. - Yes, all doors.

- Luxurious cars sure are different. - Goodness.

The door closes smoothly.

"Mokdongseo-ro..."

- Is it 161? - Yes, 161.

- It's nearby. - We're close.

Okay, let's go.

Yes.

We're taking two new babies.

Good.

Do you play golf?

- No. - I did in the past.

You did?

When Coach Pak Se Ri was on this show, she mentioned Jong Kook and...

Did she talk badly about me again?

No, she didn't.

I'm sure she did.

You were on a show with Jong Kook, right?

He's terrible.

From what I see,

Jong Kook's athletic skills aren't as good as his strength.

Something like that.

Only a few in Korea can dare to say that...

Jong Kook's athletic skills...

aren't that good.

(The golf legend's general review)

Here's what Coach Pak told us.

"Unlike other sports,"

"golf is one where you hit a dead ball."

- That's right. - Those words were so cool.

- Hitting a dead ball. - In weightlifting,

- we have the deadlift. - Right.

- It has a similar meaning. - How so?

- Dead means it's not alive. - No, so...

You lift what's dead.

Isn't it called that as you feel dead after a lower body exercise?

You feel dead, but no. "Dead" means...

"dead weight." You're lifting the dead weight.

The exercise was named like so.

Yes, deadlift.

How can you take Coach Pak's comment about...

being bad at golf to deadlifting?

This is how a conversation flows...

- when it comes to sports. - You lift what's dead.

The final goal is to get home, isn't it?

The older you get, the more weightlifting you must do.

That's what I tell others.

I do that too. The stairs one.

- Stairs? - The stepmill?

- Hold on. Isn't this the place? - After that...

- It's SBS. - Is it SBS?

- It's just SBS. - Cycling...

- What? - What's going on?

- It's SBS. - This is SBS.

We're shooting at SBS.

- Are we in Mok-dong? - What's...

- Mok-dong... - Or is it a restaurant?

The gym here has closed.

Hi.

The gym here has closed.

Is this not the place? Wait.

- He's Yoo Jae Suk. - Hi.

If you don't recognize Yoo Jae Suk,

we have Kim Jong Kook here.

- Yeon Seok. - Yes?

He's not...

- opening it after seeing you. - I know.

He was going to open it but stopped to ask who I was.

- All right. - Okay.

- Let's get off. - Okay.

Is this "Running Man?" You guys are so loud.

This is how Jong Kook and I work.

- Okay! - Liven up the mood.

(Starting with Jong Kook's signature cheer)

- Nice. - Jong Kook.

Nice.

- It's been a while. - Hold on.

What are we doing at SBS?

- The gym here is still open, right? - Yes.

- There's a gym here? - Yes, there is.

Right. But they closed down the gym in the Sangam building.

- Really? They did? - Yes, they closed it down.

- Really? - The personal trainer...

who worked in the Sangam branch used to be in my fan club.

- Really? - Yes. I met him a long time ago.

- So you've used the gym in here? - You know...

- I did once for a show. - We...

- We... - I've used the gym once.

- We can't use the gym, though. - Right.

Hey, a Shake Shack is here.

- My gosh. - There's a Shake Shack here?

- Right. And Starbucks too. - Yes.

- Hey, they revamped this place. - My goodness.

(They are busy checking out the revamped building.)

- So both of them are new. - I've never seen this.

- There's a Starbucks branch too. - Hold on.

- Let me check where we're going. - This is crazy.

- I think it was on the 11th floor. - What does she do?

Hold on. Let me check where we're going.

- I think it was on the 11th floor. - What does she do?

- Room 5 on the 11th floor. - The 11th floor?

- The 11th floor? - What's on the 11th floor?

- The gym is in the basement. - The 11th floor. This way.

Then it can't be the gym. Right?

- So... - No.

- Is it an editing room? - The vibe... Wait.

Maybe, she works on a radio show early in the morning.

She energizes people in the morning.

- He has a point. - What do you think?

- A radio show in the morning. - Those morning shows?

- You're right. - Or the traffic segments?

Right. Something like that.

- Who's the morning DJ for SBS? - A long time ago,

- we listened to the radio a lot. - Well...

- You know? - "Kim Young Chul's Power FM."

- Hello. - My gosh, is it Young Chul then?

- No, probably not. - It can't be him.

- Wasn't it a woman? - It could be his director.

- A director. Yes, that's possible. - Or a writer.

Young Chul can't join us when we're already chatty.

- My gosh, back in the day... - Shall we go?

- The 11th floor. - My goodness.

- Yes! Right. - When you were 20.

- Hold on. This place... - So...

- Hey. - Right.

- It is a radio show. - What?

- We were right. - See?

- Room Five. - The morning radio.

- Gosh, a morning radio show. - I used to be on many radio shows.

- You know? - That's why...

- Yes. - she told us to come now.

- Yes, after the show. - I was on many radio shows.

(Current time, 9:19am)

- Gosh, it's Lee Sook Young. - I used to be on many radio shows.

That's So Yu Jin.

(Familiar voices of SBS)

- Wait. Her name was "Sook Young?" - Hwa Jung...

- You didn't know? - All this time,

I thought it was Soo Kyung.

- And actually, Sook Young... - Yes?

- was an announcer at KBS. - Right.

- Really? - Yes.

- So... - But she worked here for 20 years?

- She did the show for 20 years. - That's amazing.

Goodness, 20 years.

- Hwa Jung did it for 20 years too. - Choi Hwa Jung.

- That's amazing. - Let's go inside.

- Our spare time... - Isn't Haha hosting a radio show?

- He is. - Isn't his show on SBS?

- That's on KBS. - KBS?

- I see. - It's on KBS?

- Didn't he do a show at SBS before? - Room Five.

- Where do we have to go? Room 5? - Room 5.

- Room Five. - Then does it mean...

There's another one here.

- Broadcasting... - Choi Baek Ho.

Choi Baek Ho.

- Right here. Young Chul. - He's a longtime DJ too.

- Is it Young Chul? - Young Chul?

(They see Young Chul in the Hall of Fame.)

- Is it him? Jae Suk. - It can't be Young Chul.

If it's Young Chul, let's just leave.

I think it might be him.

- But given the time... It's 9am. - Here's the thing.

- It's 9am now. - The time...

- His show begins at 7am. - Really?

- Jae Suk. If it's him... - It starts that early?

Or will we meet someone from the next show?

Won't it be really loud?

- He starts his show that early? - No?

But having Young Chul on top of you two...

- Yes. It'll be too much to handle. - Gosh.

- It's too much even for me. - I hear laughter.

- Where is it coming from? - I...

- I think it's Young Chul. - Wait. Is this the place?

- They sound so happy. - This is Room Five.

- I see, Room Five. - Kim Ye Rin.

- What? - I think it's Young Chul.

Come on.

- Come on. Young Chul. - He can't join us.

- Young Chul. - It's me!

(Groaning)

- You were right. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(Feeling dizzy)

- My gosh, Young Chul. - Come in.

- It's nice to see you. - Well...

- Hey, Young Chul. - So...

Young Chul, your show is over.

- By the way... - So I was waiting for you.

- Hey. - We knew it might be him.

- Everyone, including Jong Kook... - Hello.

What? Who is this? Isn't this Goo Dong Mae?

- It's "When the Phone Rings" now. - "When the Phone Rings."

The number you have dialed is not in service.

No, that's not what the drama is about.

The number you have dialed...

- But you're not the Whenever Guest. - This is...

- Her name was Kim Ye Rin. - Is he the Whenever Guest?

- I see. The director? - She's the director of the show.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Someone else wrote to our show. - Yes.

- He wasn't the Whenever Guest. - It wasn't me.

- What a relief. - My goodness. What a relief.

I was surprised.

- You surprised me. - You surprised me.

(Kim Ye Rin, the first Whenever Guest)

So you guys work together?

That's right. We were done with the show and chatting.

(They were chatting after the show.)

It wasn't that you couldn't leave because of Young Chul?

Well, I wouldn't say that.

- By the way, the vibe... - She sounded cautious.

- Aren't you the youngest? - Yes, I am the youngest director.

- I see. Really? - I see.

- Are you the youngest director? - Yes.

- Has it been 2 years? - It's been 1 year.

It was recent. My gosh, she just joined then.

She's the assistant director.

- He's the main director. - The man next to you?

- I see. It's you. Hello. - Hello.

(Director Park Hyung Ju)

- I see. - Gosh, the radio show...

Your radio show is very popular. Right?

- It has the highest ratings on SBS. - His show is the best.

- Really? - Is that true?

- Is this true? - That's right.

We've been in the top for three years.

- Right. - That's why you're acting...

like a big shot because you're successful here.

Right. The head of the department told me I was the pillar.

(He's the pillar of SBS Radio.)

- Right. - You know, I always say this...

- about Young Chul. - Yes?

I really want to see him when he's not around.

- I see. Really? - But when we meet...

- Five minutes is enough. - Yes.

(His self-evaluation is crystal clear.)

- Five minutes. - Five minutes.

- Five minutes. - After being with him...

for five minutes, I want to leave.

He actually calls me when he misses me.

- Right. I do because I miss him. - Really?

He calls me and says, "Young Chul, I have a headache."

(He complains of a headache after 5 minutes.)

He always says he has a headache.

- That's like a prank. - All right. Bye now.

Yes.

- Ye Rin is our Whenever Guest. - Right.

- Right. - It's Ye Rin.

- She's our Whenever Guest. - Right.

- All right. Young Chul. - Five minutes.

- Yes? - He's leaving.

- What's going on? - Bye.

Go.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Bye. I'll call you. - Bye.

- See you later. - See you next week.

My gosh.

- It's been a while since I met him. - Right.

We're meeting with the staff members of "Kim Young Chul's Power FM."

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

- Hello. - Welcome.

Ye Rin, you were the one...

- who wrote to our show, correct? - Yes. It was me.

- I see. - My gosh.

We heard about you briefly earlier.

So you started this job only a year ago?

Yes. And I recently joined this team too.

- How is it, working on the show... - Really?

As the director?

Young Chul is exactly the same.

He's as talkative as I've seen on TV.

I was really surprised.

So I get to work...

with a lot of energy in the morning. So it's great.

So you were hired as the director of radio shows?

- Yes. - Right.

I'm sure you could have applied to be a director for TV shows.

- But is there a reason... - Right.

You applied to work on radio shows?

Radio shows air every day...

and become a part of people's daily routine.

- Right. - It's fun to listen to stories...

from all walks of life.

There are simple pleasures from it.

And radio shows are so heartwarming.

- Right. - The listeners too.

I love the vibe you get...

- from the old-school way of things. - That's it.

- Retro vibes are trendy now. - Right.

Ye Rin. What made you decide...

- to write to our show? - Right.

Our show airs early in the morning. So once we're done,

it's iffy to have a meal given the time.

- We have some spare time... - Right. It's quite early.

Before we have to record.

We always talk to Young Chul a lot.

It's really fun to talk to Young Chul.

- Are you sure about that? - But...

after listening to him for five days straight,

I thought we might need a different kind of energy.

- Since it's just us here... - I see.

Why don't you introduce yourselves? What's your name, Director?

I'm the main director of "Kim Young Chul's Power FM."

My name is Park Hyung Ju.

- I see. Park Hyung Ju. - Yes.

- Nice to meet you. - Go on.

I'm the youngest writer. My name is Yu In Hwa.

- Writer Yu In Hwa. - Yu In Hwa.

I'm Choi Ji Eun.

- Are you the main writer? - Yes, there are two main writers.

I'm the younger one. She's the older one.

- I see. Right there. - She's in the back.

- She let you have the front seat. - Gosh.

- She did. - As expected.

I'm the secondary writer. My name is Lee Hye Yeon.

(Secondary Writer Lee Hye Yeon)

I'm Writer Kim Jong Sun.

- I see. - How long have you been working...

on this show?

- I joined the team three years ago. - I see.

- What other shows... - But I've been in this department.

I did "Park So Hyun's Love Game."

- I see. So Hyun. - Yes.

- I was also on "Cultwo Show." - I see. "Cultwo Show."

- My gosh, she wasn't shy about it. - Right.

- She promoted herself. - She ought to.

- I bet there were other shows too. - Right.

- But she named the big ones. - "Cultwo Show."

How long have you been a writer?

- It's been over 20 years. - That's a long time.

Basically, she's Yoo Jae Suk among writers of radio shows.

- Right. - My gosh.

Since you've been working in this field for 20 years,

you must see some differences compared to the old days.

What's the biggest difference you see now?

A long time ago, there were no text messages coming in live.

- Right. Letters. - We mostly received letters.

- Or posts on the forum. - And postcards.

- Yes, postcards. - Right.

During the live broadcast,

we'll get text messages from social media.

Or we get messages through the app. With the technology,

- we can communicate much better. - It's a recent thing.

(The listeners can participate in the live communication.)

- How was it back in your day? - A long time ago,

I used to record it with reels.

- Right, they used tapes. - Reels?

(Tae Hyun hosted "FM Popular Songs" in 1999 at KBS.)

(They used to record the shows with reel-to-reel tapes.)

- Right. - But that's when SBS started...

digital radio shows for the first time.

I was like, "Oh, my! There are digital radio shows?"

"So they don't have to record every minute for two hours?"

- "That's crazy." - Right.

What is your name?

I'm in charge of Young Chul's voice.

- What? - I'm the sound engineer.

- I see. You're the sound engineer. - I see.

You have a great body.

- I'm not sure if you remember. - Yes?

- Last year, you coached me briefly. - Yes?

- What? - Right?

- I told you. - I remember you!

- The radio show! - My gosh!

- I remember you. The radio show! - My gosh!

- You do? Right. - I remember you.

- It was over there, right? - On DinDin's show.

- Look at them communing. - Yes. Your body...

- Look at them communing. - Didn't I tell you?

- I told you, right? - Look at them communing.

- They're communing. - Yes, they are.

- You've got a great body. - Like "Avatar."

- His figure improved. - He's feeling the muscles.

- The gym rats are interacting. - Right.

- He inserted his tentacles. - Yes.

- Even his hairstyle is suitable. - Thank you.

- That's common at the gym. - Right.

- So... - They're communing.

- there was a connection. - I remember him.

(The gym rats commune instead of flirting.)

- Gosh, I knew he was one of us. - You know what?

- I noticed him a while ago. - Yes.

- He kept doing this. - Really?

(Peeking)

- Come here, Tae Hyun. - Come here.

(Staring)

(He couldn't conceal his trembling pectoral muscles.)

(Are you happy to see him in person?)

(Chuckling)

(He's happy to have met his favorite star.)

So he's a typical fan...

- of Jong Kook's YouTube channel. - This is crazy.

- That's how his subscribers react. - Right.

And Jong Kook also feels out their muscles.

- "My gosh, your body..." - Right.

(Jong Kook greets back with a feel.)

- They communed right away. - His figure improved.

He totally leveled up.

- Just because he has more muscles. - Thank you.

- Actually, Shin Ho... - Yes?

Was supposed to take a day off today.

- Because Jong Kook was coming? - He canceled his request.

- Because Jong Kook was coming? - We had to meet no matter what.

Taking a day off isn't so special. This is my day off now.

- Right. Meeting good people... - My gosh!

- Jong Kook. - My gosh.

(Their 2nd connection)

Gosh, his back muscles. Goodness.

- You checked his back muscles? - My gosh.

- I told you, didn't I? - This is great.

- Thank you. - It makes men attractive.

- "Thank you." - Seriously. It's a big charm.

He said, "Thank you."

- Keep working out regularly. - Great.

Great. His figure improved a lot.

- Well... Yes. - My gosh.

Ye Rin. Since the show airs...

early in the morning, you must come...

- to work even earlier. - Right.

- Right. - It must not be easy...

to do that every week.

- Does your show air at 7am? - Yes.

- You must be here by 6am then. - Yes.

- We must be here by 6am. - You must be here before it starts.

- Then you must wake up before 5am. - My gosh.

- Yes. - My gosh.

- That's really early. - I'm sure we all wake up...

- earlier than that. - Right. Around 4am.

- I have to be at work by 4:30am. - My gosh.

- So I can prepare for the show. - Right.

- To prepare for everything. - To make sure it runs smoothly.

You probably have to review some stuff...

- for the show as well. - Right.

I have to take the first bus, but I always miss it.

Then how do you get to work?

I take a taxi. But I made a rule for myself.

That I would only take the taxi once a week.

But I always fail.

Just this week, I took the taxi three times.

- I had to take a taxi today too. - You failed?

- I woke up late today. - Where do you live?

Then Shin Ho, when do you work out?

Come on, Jong Kook.

Why are you asking him a question?

- He wakes up early in the morning. - What is this?

I was curious about his schedule. Like when he works out.

You seem very interested in Shin Ho.

- Seriously. - He has a unique schedule.

I was wondering about his workout schedule...

- after seeing a huge improvement. - How he improved that much?

- Since I come to work early, - Right.

- I can get off early too. - I see.

- So I go to the gym... - As soon as you finish?

- as soon as I finish. - My gosh.

- I start with pull-down exercises. - I love it.

Shin Ho. Talk about that on his channel.

- I can't tolerate this anymore. - All right. Fine.

I also have a question.

So I've met everyone on your team today.

After meeting you all, I noticed that your ages vary.

- Based on the age differences... - The generational gap.

- There might be a gap among you. - Right. There might be.

Ye Rin, whom are you close to on your team?

It looks like we planned the outfits together.

Right.

- You're closest to her. - The pink outfits.

- The youngest writer? - We're around the same age too...

- within our team. - I see.

So when I joined the team,

I was the last one to join. The team was already assembled.

When she looked at me, she had this gaze.

- "Gosh, I'm saved." - "I'm saved."

- "At last." - "She's around my age."

- Yes. You'll have things in common. - That's how she looked at me.

- She talked to me then. - Right.

I asked for her number first.

- Really? - Because she's around your age?

- Yes. - I bet.

They're working together as a team.

And it's a huge difference to have someone...

- Of course. - around your age.

Personally, I thought Ye Rin and I were the closest on the team.

- We're close. - Gosh, she's disappointed.

- That's understandable. - No.

- You're all close. - Right.

- Right. - You're all close.

You must also notice this dynamic within the team. Right?

I thought we were really close.

(Now, this becomes a love square.)

- Amid this, Hyung Ju was like, - Right.

"What about me?"

She definitely said...

- I was like her dad. - Hold on.

- We're all very close. - You know what?

You have to understand this, though.

- Right. Yes, they're different. - Parents and friends are different.

- I can't drop the honorifics. - They're different.

- Right. - You can't drop the honorifics?

- But you guys bond as a team. - You can't do that.

- But it's the same with us. - Right.

- When we film TV shows, - Yes.

- the age groups vary a lot. - Right.

- But peers are more comfortable. - Of course.

- We're so comfortable today. - Totally.

- We can understand each other well. - Right.

- Now that we're here, - Yes.

We'll play some games, Ye Rin.

- We came at the perfect time. - Totally.

- I hope we can give you... - What's this?

Many good presents through our games.

- Read it, please. - What is it?

"The youngest directors and writers became VIP taxi passengers..."

"with the early morning schedule."

"Two T-money cards, each charged with two hundred dollars."

(2 transportation cards, each charged with 200 dollars)

The transportation cards.

- This is great. - Oh, my.

- My gosh, I love it. - This is great.

(The youngest members of the show)

The taxi fares add up, you know?

- They can use them on taxis too? - Right.

- That will last 2 months. - It will last 2 months?

- Great. - But we must succeed...

- to be able to gift them. - Right. We must succeed for sure.

I hope it's an easy game.

(Guess Who: Singers)

(Round 1: Correctly guess the names of 4 singers in a row.)

(They must guess the names within 3 seconds.)

- I'm not so good at this. - What is this?

We have to guess the names with the pictures?

- Yes. Four in a row... - Gosh, this is hard.

Oh, no. When they show us the pictures,

- you can't... - It's weird.

You recognize the person, but it's hard to say the name.

- Right. It's hard. - Yes.

The names of new idol groups are difficult to remember.

- That's hard. - Will there be idol groups too?

- Probably. - Yes. They're singers too.

- My gosh. That's... - They're singers.

- My gosh. - Gosh, idol groups...

All right. This is our first try.

- Round 1. - Round 1.

- Let's begin right away. - Will Tae Hyun start?

- Okay. - Let's do this.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

You must guess them in three seconds after we show the pictures.

- Great. - Gosh, this one is hard.

- This is nerve-racking. And... - Ready.

Go.

- In 1, 2... - Kim Bum Soo.

- That one was easy. - That's easy.

- This is easy. - Ready. Go.

In 1, 2, 3.

- BoA. - My gosh.

- Two, three. - BoA.

(He runs out of time.)

- This... - Come on. Her picture...

- This... - Come on. Her picture...

- But he was right. - You must give me an old photo!

- Like when she sang "NO.1!" - Right.

- That's her recent picture! - Gosh.

- Hey. - What is this?

- How could you not recognize her? - That's BoA.

Anyone can guess that's BoA.

You must give me an old photo of her!

- Think about it in BoA's shoes. - Where's her old photo?

- They can't present an old photo. - That was...

- This is such a recent picture. - But it's still BoA.

- Think about it in her perspective. - What is this?

What about you? Would you be happy if they used your old photo?

- I look better in my old photos. - Hey. Over there.

- I look better in my old photos. - Hey. Over there.

- Everyone, including the writers... - What was that?

I mean...

- Did you recognize her? Be honest. - That one was easy.

- Did you recognize her? - How could you not?

That was so easy.

- I mean... - Hey, you come here.

- You go 1st. - I'll go 1st.

No, listen.

- How could he not recognize her? - That was easy.

- What was that? - The photo...

It was basically a giveaway.

But the photo...

- I haven't met her recently. - You...

Then do you think he got it right because he met Bum Soo recently?

Did he get it right because he met Bum Soo recently?

- Bum Soo... - Hey, he's been looking...

- like the Almighty lately. - Listen.

You know, as for Bum Soo, that's his typical face.

You see that face a lot in many of his pictures.

- All right. - And giving us profile pictures...

that look much better than they do in person can be risky.

Hey! Celebrities must look good in the pictures.

- You know... - Old photos...

- Gosh. - You know what he did?

He was so close to saying her name.

- "BoA." - "BoA."

It was a buzzer beater.

- All right. Let's go. - Okay.

- Good luck. - We must win the present for them.

- We'll do better. - Gosh, Round One...

- We must pass Round One quickly. - All right. Let's go.

- In 1, 2, 3. Here we go. - In 1, 2, 3. Here we go.

- Let's do a good job. - This is your second try.

- Ready. - I'm going first, right?

- Yes. Ready. Go. - Yes.

In 1, 2, 3.

- Young Ji! - Yes.

- Young Ji. - My gosh.

- Gosh, I was confused for a second. - Goodness. That was hard.

- I couldn't guess BoA's name. - Ready. Go.

- In 1, 2... - Jay Park.

- Hold on. - That's it.

You gave him such an easy one.

- What is this? Jay Park? - Hey.

- What are you saying? - Jay Park.

- Okay. - Okay.

- All right. Let's go. - Great.

- Let's pass Round One. - Do well.

- Let's go. - It's about the spots.

Ready. Go.

- In one... - Lee Seung Chul.

- My gosh. - Seung Chul. Okay.

- What if we pass Round One? - Great.

- We'll pass it. - Only mine was hard.

- Seung Chul is easy to guess. - Mine won't be hard, right?

- Ready... - Mine won't be hard, right?

- Other questions are always easier. - Ready. Go.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Lee Juck!

(That's correct.)

Lee Juck!

(Everyone answers it correctly.)

(He's especially excited.)

- We completed Round One. - Yes!

(They pass Round 1 only after 2 tries.)

We did it.

- Nice. - Yes!

- Nice. - We passed Round One.

- We could've passed it earlier. - My gosh. That was easy.

- That was easy. - Take a taxi.

That was easy.

- Ye Rin can take taxis... - Yes.

For two months.

(Take taxis as many times as you want.)

- All right. - Great.

- We passed Round One quickly. - Great.

- In my opinion, we could have... - No way.

Passed Round 1 on our 1st try.

- Hey. - Let's be honest.

- BoA... - If you didn't stutter...

He stuttered.

- Gosh, I can't believe he did that. - BoA...

- My gosh. I need to watch TV. - Seriously.

We passed Round One.

If you want to keep going to Round Two,

you can say, "Go."

You must choose to either keep going or stop.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Go.

- Go. - Okay.

Of course. She must keep going.

What is it?

"After the nerve-racking live broadcast in the morning,"

"go shopping to relieve your stress."

"Department store gift certificate for 700 dollars."

(Round 2 prize)

- Seven hundred dollars? - Seven hundred dollars.

- Seven hundred dollars. - This is awesome.

- Ji Eun. - That's a big amount.

(Screaming)

You can come to work in a taxi.

Then go to the department store.

That's great.

(Instead of a team gathering, they'll go shopping as a team.)

Gosh, that's a big amount. I like it.

- She... - This is great.

- Go to the department store. - She loves shopping.

Her hobby is shopping.

- Great. - She likes shopping.

- Shopping is great. - That's great.

That's a good cardio exercise.

Gosh. Stop it.

- You know... - Come on.

How could you connect that to cardio?

- It has nothing to do with cardio. - Gosh.

Seriously. It's an effective cardio workout.

Why would you bring that up now?

- Gosh. - If you don't walk a lot...

Then climb the escalator like a stepmill.

People actually do that. They just go in reverse.

(That's a great idea.)

What's the game for Round Two?

(Round 2: Guess the names of the singers...)

(and the names of their groups.)

- My gosh. - This is hard.

- Groups? Then they're idol groups. - Give us more than three seconds.

- You'll still get three seconds. - This is hard.

I said no.

- Hey. - Including the names of the groups?

- It's not enough time to answer. - Three seconds...

- We can't say all that. - Look.

Kim Jong Kook of Turbo.

I can't say it that fast.

By the way, we have many tries left.

And we can use the coupons.

- This is hard. - Let's try it.

- Do I go first? - We can change the order.

- Let's change it. - How?

- Yeon Seok, you know idol groups. - Yeon Seok, you go first.

- I don't know that many groups. - You're younger than us.

- Right. - Right.

- But Yeon Seok is... - It's iffy to go last...

- and get it wrong. - But you're a singer.

- Can you go last? - Yeon Seok doesn't know.

He doesn't know that many movies either.

- I'm not good at this. - Really?

He doesn't even know that many dramas.

- Really? - I'm not good at this.

You know what? We're all working...

in show business.

But it feels different to be watching us film the show, right?

- This isn't common for radio shows. - They don't do that.

- Games are rare on radio shows. - Right.

You guys are having fun.

- We usually make the quizzes. - Right.

- We have to guess them now. - We must guess them now.

- Right. - So being on the receiving end...

This is so fun.

- Here we go. - This won't be easy.

Yeon Seok, you're up.

- Here I go. - Do well. Focus!

Ready. Go.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Who is this?

- Incorrect! - Tablo.

Tablo of Epik High!

Come on!

- In 1, 2, 3. - Who is this?

- Incorrect! - Tablo.

Tablo of Epik High!

(Sighing)

Don't you know "Aren't you tired?"

- Aren't you tired? - Aren't you tired?

(Aren't you tired?)

Oh, Tablo of Epik High.

- But this... Right, the picture. - The picture...

- Right. - looks kind of different...

- It's not Tablo's signature photo. - Doesn't it kind of look...

- This is too... - It should be a signature picture.

- But... - Do you understand my BoA thing?

Wait, BoA was...

- It was kind of like that. - I thought...

- BoA was unacceptable. - it was Kyu Hyun for a second.

No, I could've guessed this one.

- I should've been there. - You should go first, then.

- I'll go first again. - Why does Tablo...

- look like Mr. Bogus here? - Oh, gosh.

- Exactly. - Tablo kind of looks like Bogus.

- He really does. - Yes.

- Tablo looks... - Anyway,

- we failed our third try. - Oh, no.

We still have...

- Let's try one more time, - We still have many tries.

- and then use the bonus coupon. - Okay.

Okay. Let's go!

Okay. Here we go.

Ready. Go.

- In 1, 2... - Who is this?

(Group name, Name)

Who is this?

("Who is this?")

- Come on. - Who is this?

- Jisoo! BLACKPINK! - Come on!

- In 1, 2... - Who is this?

(BLACKPINK's Jisoo, a global star)

- Jisoo! - BLACKPINK!

- Come on. That's Jisoo! - BLACKPINK!

- "DDU-DU DDU-DU." - Oh, it's Jisoo.

I knew it. I did.

I knew it. I did.

- That's obviously Jisoo. - The picture is...

That's a recent picture.

You could've chosen one of her onstage.

"Onstage."

- I can't tell by this picture. - Tae Hyun.

Your "DDU-DU DDU-DU" dance looked like Shim Sin's dance.

Isn't this "DDU-DU DDU-DU?"

This isn't it.

- It's not? - That was Shim Sin's dance.

Of course, I know you, Jisoo.

- Goodness. - If it was a picture of her...

- onstage, I would've known. - That was Jisoo of BLACKPINK.

(How could you get BLACKPINK wrong?)

- Come to the end. - You're hopeless.

- Hold on. Yeon Seok... - Jong Kook.

You didn't know Epik High!

- Epik High... - You got BoA wrong.

How could you not know BLACKPINK...

I can't say anything because of BoA.

Should we use a coupon?

But Jisoo was so...

- If so... - We need to change up the mood.

- Let's use a coupon on Ye Rin. - Jae Suk.

- If so... - I'll sit out.

- No. - Ye Rin.

It's not necessarily you who will sit out.

- Ye Rin will pick one person. - You can pick.

Just stare at one person.

- "You, get out." - Like that.

In one...

(Staring)

- Okay! - So obvious.

- So obvious. - Nice.

Which turn should Ye Rin be?

She should go first.

Ye Rin, let's go.

- To make it fun... - Let's go.

- We used the bonus coupon. - You can sit there.

Go there and get some advice.

Okay.

- Wait. - DJ Kook.

So, Ye Rim...

- "Ye Rin." - Ye Rin.

- I'll keep my eye on you. - By the way, Shin Ho.

- Yes? - What was that?

Why are you looking at his back muscles?

When you sat down, he went...

Get a shot of my lats.

- Why are you communing here? - What is this?

- What are you doing? - Amazing.

- Oh, my. - His back...

He was touching Jong Kook's back.

Jong Kook was also saying, "Hey, touch my back."

He suddenly opened up his back muscles like this.

Of course, I should.

So impressive.

- Seriously. - "Hey, touch my back."

- He's different. - He opened up his back muscles.

They became even broader when he did that.

Okay. Nice.

Let's cheer for Ye Rin.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Okay. Let's go.

- Let's go! - Please.

- Let's go! - Please.

Ready. Go.

- In 1, 2, 3. Incorrect! - Eun Ji Won. Oh, no!

- Right? It's so... - Eun Ji Won of SECHSKIES!

He's not from my generation.

- In 1, 2, 3. Incorrect! - Eun Ji Won. Oh, no!

- In 1, 2, 3. Incorrect! - Eun Ji Won. Oh, no!

(Scoffing)

Eun Ji Won of SECHSKIES!

He's not from my generation.

He's not from Ye Rin's generation.

- Come on. - Am I from BLACKPINK's generation?

- I mean... - Why did you give...

- Ye Rin that question? - Exactly.

Still, I saw him on "2 Days 1 Night."

She just knows him as a variety show personality.

- Eun Ji Won of "2 Days 1 Night?" - Yes, that's what I know him from.

That's also right.

- Eun Ji Won of "2 Days 1 Night." - His group...

- But... - Ye Rin.

You get why I didn't get Jisoo, right?

- It's hard. - It's hard, right?

- That's what I was saying. - It's so hard.

- It was hard. - It was.

- It's too hard. - It's okay.

- We'll make up for it. - SECHSKIES...

- Okay. - Let's try again.

I see Jong Kook doesn't want to go first.

- I'm third. Okay. Nice. - Okay.

Let's try it like this.

- Let's go! - SECHSKIES.

Ready.

- This is the fifth try. - Focus!

- We just need you to focus. - Got it.

- All right. - In 1, 2, 3.

- Here we go! - Here we go!

Ready. Go.

- In one... - Lee Je Hoon of Cool!

- That wasn't easy. - Let's go!

Nice. There we go.

- You had to know that one. - I had to know that one.

- Okay. - Yoo Jae Suk!

- That was fast. - Okay!

- You have to be fast. - We can do it!

- The second turn. Ready. - Focus, Yeon Seok.

- You just have to glance at it. - Ready. Go.

Say the group name first.

- In 1, 2... - KARINA! aespa!

There we go.

(Correct)

KARINA! aespa!

There we go.

(Exhilarating)

- You have to get KARINA. - That was great.

- That was great. - Yoo Yeon Seok!

(Jong Kook's rival, Yeon Seok, got a right answer first.)

How did you get KARINA?

How could I not know KARINA?

I know her, but I couldn't tell by that picture.

- KARINA of aespa. - So we just have to shout...

- something out first. - Exactly.

- First... - I also...

- Next. - Jong Kook.

- Jong Kook. Focus. - Hold on.

- Say the member's name first. - Just...

- No. - Member or group,

- whatever you think of first. - Just shout it out.

Just shout something out.

- But I really don't know. - You just need to say something.

- Okay. Let's go. - Here we go.

Ready.

Go.

(Group name, Name)

- In 1, 2... - Hey.

(This is easy!)

- In 1, 2, 3. - Who is this?

- SEVENTEEN! - Who is this?

- Who is this? - SEVENTEEN!

(Group name: SEVENTEEN, Name: Mingyu)

- Mingyu. - That's Mingyu?

Mingyu of SEVENTEEN.

- Mingyu... - How can you not know SEVENTEEN?

Mingyu...

I know Mingyu well.

- He's from Anyang too. - Seungkwan and Hoshi.

We're close.

(Mingyu, as I said before, is from Anyang.)

Our Anyang boy.

- So why... - Don't misunderstand, Mingyu.

Look at this picture.

Mingyu, look at this.

Isn't this obviously Mingyu?

- Mingyu... - You should've said...

SEVENTEEN first.

I didn't think Mingyu was so...

I think Jong Kook needs to go first.

- This is hard. - Yes. Come to the front.

- Because... - Come to the front.

No. Just go at the very end.

Since we keep getting stuck when it's your turn...

We need to continue the game, at least.

- You were happy to see him. - If so, let's use it one more time.

- I think that'd be better. - Let's use it one more time.

- Just one more time. - Okay.

- I think it'll be hard. - Because Jong Kook could...

Who do you wish would sit out?

Stare at him.

(You don't even need to ask.)

- Okay, Ye Rin. - Come to the end, Ye Rin.

- You can go last. - Because...

- It's okay. - She didn't even stare at him.

- What if I get it wrong? - Let's go!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Let's go, Ye Rin.

(Laughing)

Are you the new DJ?

"Iron Man Power FM."

- "Iron Man Power." - "Iron Man Power."

- "Iron Man Power FM." Yes. - That does fit.

- On the treadmill in the morning. - Yes.

- For all of the gym-goers... - He really is "Iron Man Power."

- in the country. - Yes.

- Starting with a healthy meal. - Exactly.

- Okay. - It's possible. Okay!

- In 1, 2, 3. Let's go! - In 1, 2, 3. Let's go!

- Let's go! - Okay!

(Let's please get it this time.)

Ready.

Go.

- In 1, 2... - Wait. 2PM!

(Group name: 2PM, Name)

- Ong... I said Ong. - Oh, no.

Ok Taec Yeon, you fool!

2PM!

- Ong... I said Ong. - Oh, no.

Ok Taec Yeon, you fool!

Ok Taec Yeon, you fool!

How could you not know that?

- As soon as I saw the picture... - We wasted a bonus coupon.

(Tae Hyun is in despair.)

- I thought this might happen. - How could you not know him?

- Do I have to go back? - That's obviously Taec Yeon.

She didn't even get to say anything.

- Who is Ong? - Seriously.

This is what happened. I was going to say Ok, but then...

- Hey! - Why did you only say Ong?

Taec Yeon is Ok Taec Yeon...

Exactly. It would've been fine if I had only said Taec Yeon.

- I just needed to say Taec Yeon. - Hey.

Taec Yeon was a bit easy.

(He had the most number of incorrect answers today.)

This was easy. Honestly, I saw it,

- and I knew it right away, but... - You two are the problem.

- Is he trying to be funny? - You two are...

Ok Taec Yeon was a bit easy.

The important thing is that we used the bonus coupon,

but Ye Rin didn't get to say a word.

- Do I have to go back? - We're in trouble.

This is...

- We're supposed to energize them... - I'm sorry.

During their spare time.

But our main writer is almost in despair.

I'm sorry, Ye Rin.

- All right. - Taec Yeon was easy.

- Ok Taec Yeon was easy. - I seriously think...

if we don't pass here,

- we'll really be in trouble. - We'll definitely get it.

- Don't worry. - Let's do a cheer.

- In 1, 2, 3. - In 1, 2, 3.

- Let's go! - Let's go!

We need to get it now.

This is our seventh try.

- Ready. - This is hard.

(They're already down to 4 tries.)

This is our seventh try.

Ready.

- Ready. - This is hard.

You need to look from afar.

- It was harder up close. - Really?

Let's look from afar.

We need to change our strategy.

Ready. Go.

(Group name, Name)

- In one... - Joon! god!

- Okay! - Okay.

- In one... - Joon! god!

- Okay! - Okay.

See? That's obviously Joon.

They practically gave it to us.

- You should use pictures like that. - They gave it to us.

They gave it to us.

Second question. Ready. Go.

(Group name, Name)

- One... - Jang Won Young of IVE!

There we go.

Jang Won Young of IVE!

There we go.

(Answering smoothly like flowing water)

- There we go. - It was IVE?

- You didn't know, did you? - That was an easy one.

He didn't know this one either.

- I realized a bit later. - See?

I realized a bit later. But I did.

- Let's go. - Okay.

I was late earlier because I was thinking of Ok.

Ready. Go.

(Group name, Name)

- In 1, 2... - Sandara Park!

- Incorrect! - Gosh!

It's 2NE1!

(Out of time)

It's 2NE1!

Sandara Park!

- Incorrect! - Gosh!

- No. - No.

- Incorrect. - Come on.

It's 2NE1.

(Feeling frustrated)

- It's 2NE1. - It's 2NE1.

- Hey! - We go to the same hair salon.

Come on.

I honestly didn't know it was Sandara Park.

- Come on. - You should've shown us...

- Sandara Park with her hair up. - That's right.

You should've shown us a photo with her hair up.

- Seriously. - That's Sandara Park.

- How did you get it right? - How did you get it right?

- We're the same age. - Really?

- We also go to the same hair salon. - It's hard to recognize her...

in a photo like that.

Assuming that we succeed,

- Yes? - we can't go on to Round Three.

- No, we can't. - We should pass Round Two.

- Yes, we should. - We have to give them 700 dollars.

- We have to do really well. - We can't afford to lose it.

- That's right. - We have to give it to them.

Ye Rin, should we go in this order one more time?

I don't know anymore.

- Do you hate all of us? - You all seem the same.

- You hate us all, don't you? - You all seem the same.

- Do you want us to disappear? - You're all the same.

We ruined your life...

and stressed you out. Right?

- Extreme stress. - Yes, extreme stress.

(He is extremely nervous.)

Let's begin.

(Out of 10 total tries, they're on try number 8.)

- Jong Kook, get ready. - Okay.

- Go slowly and give us time. - That's right.

Pretend you're here to have fun, Tae Hyun.

- Jong Kook. - Tae Hyun.

This is nothing, Jong Kook.

Hey, look.

Pretend you're at home watching TV.

You're at home watching TV.

- That's right. - You went too far.

- How could you get that wrong? - Come on.

- Once you sit here... - Hey.

Can you see from there?

- Focus. I think that's too far. - Why can't you get it right?

You're just watching TV.

- You're at home on your sofa. - This is good.

- Hold it out. - You're at home watching TV...

- for the first time in a while. - He's really good at home.

- I really am. - He gets it right at home.

- Why can't you get that right? - Pretend you're on your sofa.

- Okay, let's go. - Relax.

- Ready. - Okay.

- Go. - Ready. Go.

In 1, 2, 3.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Lee Ji Hye.

- Lee Ji Hye, Sharp. - Sharp.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Lee Ji Hye, Sharp.

(He got it right.)

(Confident)

- Okay! - Nice.

Good job.

(Laughing)

Didn't they tell him?

(Confessing)

No, I didn't hear anything.

- What? - We heard everything.

- No. - I heard it from here.

I'm sorry. We'll try that again.

- Okay. - Did you hear it?

- We were off to a good start. - Jong Kook.

You aren't focusing, Jong Kook.

You aren't focusing. Come closer.

- As soon as he sat there, - Wait a minute.

He squinted his eyes.

(Slow focusing)

- Okay. - You know what?

The crew members are all human...

just like us.

I'm sure they often have quizzes on the radio.

And they go, "You can't tell him, okay?"

They're the production crew.

- Here we go. - Relax.

- Relax. - Yes, I'm at home.

- Relax. - Pretend you're watching TV.

It's okay to get it wrong. Relax.

(I'm at home. I am relaxed.)

- It's okay to get it wrong. - This is nothing.

Ready.

- Relax. - Go.

(Endless effort to control his mind)

Ready.

- Relax. - Go.

- In 1, 2, 3. - Relax. Tei.

"Tei?"

(Name: Tei)

- Tei. - Tei?

Tei?

(Frustrated)

Tei?

Tei?

It's Du Jun.

- Highlight. - Where did "Tei" come from?

Come on.

(Where did "Tei" come from?)

It's Du Jun.

- Highlight. - Give me another chance.

Tei?

It's okay.

Tei?

I can really...

- Why did he say "Tei?" - Please.

- Why did he say "Tei?" - Please.

Seriously.

Tei was never part of a group.

(This is the saddest plea for mercy as he can barely kneel.)

- Why not? - He never was.

- Please. Du Jun! - Hey!

I only saw you while playing soccer and didn't recognize you.

- I'll switch seats. - Tei is a solo singer.

Please give me another chance and let us start at our eighth try.

- That was weird. - You play soccer together?

- You play soccer together? - We often met to play soccer.

I'm used to seeing him in a uniform.

Let's switch seats.

- I can't go first. - Move.

- Why was I going first? - Move.

- Du Jun, I don't recognize you. - Look.

- I don't recognize him. - Look at the faces...

of the production crew.

This is too difficult.

Doesn't he look like Tei?

(Disappointed)

If we don't succeed, we should use the coupon...

- on our last try, right? - Yes, we should.

- We have one last bonus coupon. - Yes, we do.

If we don't succeed this time, we have to use it.

- Let's use it on our last try. - Okay.

- Let's succeed this time. - Use the bonus coupon.

- Let's succeed this time. - Let's go.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

- Seriously. - Please.

- Jong Kook. - Yes, let's do this.

- Since you made them laugh a lot, - Okay.

- turn on your documentary mode now. - Please ask me something I know.

- Why is this so difficult? - Let's do it.

Was it always this difficult?

Since there are several members on "Running Man,"

we often failed before my turn.

- But I... - If we fail on that show,

- it's us that don't get to eat. - That's right.

That's right.

- But someone else pays for it here. - That's a huge burden.

- I know. - Of course.

- All right. - I'm not too sure about this.

Here we go.

Don't worry about it.

- Ready. - Relax.

Don't pay attention.

Ready.

- Let's relax for now. - Wait.

- Relax. - Relax.

- Ready. - Relax.

Look at it.

- I'll pretend I'm at home. - I don't think I'll get my turn.

Go.

- This is easy. - Junjin. SHINHWA.

(Correct)

That was easy.

- That wasn't easy. - It was easy.

That was perfect for him.

- SHINHWA wasn't easy. - That was perfect for him.

Next.

- Ready. - Relax.

- Scroll through your phone. - Relax.

- Ready. - Relax.

- Ready. Go. - Relax.

Let's see.

- In one... - Lee Hyo Ri. Fin.K.L.

(Correct)

This is how it should go.

- That was good. - Just relax.

- That was good. - What's going on?

- It's hard to get that wrong. - That's right.

- It's hard to get that wrong. - It's hard to get that wrong.

It isn't something you should be that proud of.

- Just relax. - This is a good difficulty level.

- This is nothing. - Relax.

- Pretend you're at home. - This is not difficult.

- Let's see how it goes. - Junjin was a good one,

- It's nothing. - and so was Lee Hyo Ri.

- That wasn't bad. - Just relax.

Ready.

- I'll pretend I'm at home. - Go.

Let's see who it is.

Kim Jong Min.

- KOYOTE. - Nice!

- KOYOTE. - Nice!

(Even Yeon Seok gets the right answer.)

Why are you marveling?

That was an easy question.

- No, it wasn't. - That was super easy.

That was easy.

- It was easy. - Jong Kook.

He's the last one.

- Kim Jong Kook. - Kim Jong Kook.

- Round Two. - Kim Jong Kook.

All right. You got this.

- The questions are easier. - Please.

- Please. - Go slowly.

- Please. - The questions are easier.

(Whether they'll get the cards and gift certificate or not...)

(is up to Jong Kook now.)

- Relax. - We have to give them the presents.

- We can easily do it. - Look.

- Junjin, Lee Hyo Ri, Kim Jong Min. - Lee Hyo Ri, Kim Jong Min.

I think I'll get someone that goes with that flow.

- I think... - Maybe Moon Hee Joon.

It's about time we had someone from H.O.T.

That could be a problem.

- Focus. - Or DJ DOC.

If you're focused on that and a different group pops up,

- It could be a modern idol star. - your head will go blank.

It could be an idol star who's popular nowadays.

Don't expect it to be an old idol star.

- You could be flustered. - Yes, you could be flustered.

It could be someone now.

- Okay. - You can do this.

- Focus. - Focus.

- She said, "Please." - Please.

You pass Round Two if you get this right.

- This is our ninth try. - Relax.

Ready.

Why is everyone cupping their ears?

- You're cupping your ear. - Just in case.

- You can't tell him the answer. - Okay.

- Ready. Go. - I'll get it right.

(Group name, Name)

(Someone that will get you in trouble...)

(if you don't know shows up.)

(Junjin, Lee Hyo Ri, Kim Jong Min, and...)

(V!)

(Group name, Name)

- In one... - V.

- BTS. - Yes!

(Correct)

V. BTS.

- We did it. - Jong Kook.

V. BTS.

(Jong Kook did it!)

- We did it. - Nice.

Thank you.

- Tae Hyung! - Jong Kook, you did it.

- Nice. - Thank you, Tae Hyung!

(Thank you, Tae Hyung.)

- Tae Hyung! - That could've gone badly.

- We did it. - We did it.

- Tae Hyung! - Kim Jong Kook.

- That was difficult. - Kim Jong Kook.

- He could've gotten it wrong. - Kim Jong Kook.

- You did it. - Kim Jong Kook.

- You could've been in trouble. - Tae Hyung!

I'm seriously shocked.

Go or stop? In 1, 2, 3.

- Stop. - Okay!

With this,

we are able to give Ye Rin...

a T-money card charged with 400 dollars...

and a department store certificate worth 700 dollars.

(Transportation card and department store gift certificate)

(What song would you choose to fit today's spare time?)

"One Man" by Kim Jong Kook.

I'd like to ask you to play "One Man" by Kim Jong Kook...

as we remember the man who got the most wrong answers.

- The man who doesn't know songs. - Right.

- Whenever possible, cheer up. - Cheer up.

(Whenever possible, cheer up.)

(The man who was almost scared to death)

- I screamed too much. - That was close.

- I screamed too much. - Have a nice day.

- Have a nice day. - I was more nervous than I thought.

I screamed too much, and my throat hurts.

- Seriously. - "BoA" was hilarious.

(Laughing)

"Tei" was the worst.

I admit it was the worst.

Why did you say, "Tei?"

It's a relief that we succeeded.

- It really is. - Seriously.

You know what?

I saw myself yelling out, "V," as if I were possessed.

That's right.

It would've been bad if you had gotten that wrong.

- I know. - Gosh.

- If you got it wrong... - I must've seen death approaching.

- At that moment... - Right.

You would've been in trouble if you had said, "Jung Kook."

He had a sword held to his neck.

I almost said, "Jung Kook."

(The memory is chilling.)

We should go meet...

- our second Whenever Guest. - What time is it?

It's at 12:30pm.

- Then we should have lunch. - Yes, we have some time left.

We should have lunch.

What should we eat?

Anything.

(They have to pick a menu, but they are tired and don't care.)

- Should we eat downstairs? - Jong Kook.

- He doesn't care. - No.

- Let's go. - What?

I'm okay with anything.

- Still, we shouldn't stay... - Yes?

- at the broadcasting station. - Don't you just eat anything?

- Let's go somewhere else. - Yes.

Tae Hyun knew Dongbuichon-dong well...

- and recommended restaurants. - That's right.

- We're in Mok-dong. - I wonder what's in Mok-dong.

Good restaurants?

I don't know this area well.

Then we should just go somewhere close.

- I like how you think. - Right.

Am I wrong?

I'm sure there are restaurants nearby.

What do you usually have for lunch?

- Jong Kook. - I eat everything.

I have anything with protein.

- Jong Kook... - You don't eat soup, do you?

- I do. - You do?

- I add extra meat to soups. - He likes gukbap.

- He adds extra meat. - Gukbap sounds good.

Gukbap is tasty.

What is that over there?

- It looks like a restaurant. - It's the shape of a rice bowl.

What is that place?

- It's a rice bowl. - What is it?

Maybe it's a poke place.

Poke doesn't sound bad.

- It has a lot of protein. - It's healthy.

- It's healthy. - That sounds good.

He's happy as long as you give him protein.

There are several Korean beef restaurants nearby.

Korean beef? That doesn't sound right.

- It sounds heavy. - Yes.

- It's too heavy for lunch. - Right.

Beef cutlet.

- Okay. - "Mok-dong SBS branch."

- It's in this building? - That sounds great.

- It sounds good. - I love it.

This building has all the good restaurants.

- It's in this building. - Yes.

- It sounds good. - Beef cutlet.

- It sounds tasty. - "Mok-dong SBS branch."

- Should we give it a try? - Let's try it.

Can we just cross the street and find out what that is?

- Okay, let's check it out. - That?

- Okay. - We can walk.

- The rice bowl. - It really must be poke.

I was curious.

- "Balance in a bowl." - "Balance in a bowl."

It's for a diet.

It's for a diet.

What? Freshwater eel over rice?

- What's that? - Eel sounds good.

- Freshwater eel over rice? - And the restaurant isn't crowded.

Wait a second.

I love empty restaurants.

I like both eel and poke.

What do you think of eel over rice?

- That sounds good. - It sounds good.

- Then let's have it. - Great.

- The restaurant isn't crowded. - Come here.

- Let's have eel over rice. - I like eel.

- Are you open? - We open at 11am.

- They open at 11am. - What time do they open?

- At 11am? Then it's fine. - What time is it?

It's 10 minutes to 11am.

It's 9 minutes to 11am.

- Nine minutes? - Yes.

- We can wait. - We can wait for nine minutes.

Yes, we can wait.

- Since we have time, - You know...

let's have you film a message.

- A message? - You're still doing that?

- What message? - You're still doing that?

- We already did it. - Yes, we did.

Who is it for?

Hello.

Let's see.

- Let's see. - Should we sit here?

Here?

This is nice.

- Come here, Yeon Seok. - Okay.

What do I have to say?

- Move out of the way, Jong Kook. - Are you taking a video?

We can have the freshwater eel set.

It's for Hyundai High School's festival.

- I see. - We did it.

- We already did it. - I see.

- It's for my older kid. - Soo...

- It's called Harvest Festival. - For Soo Chan?

- Don't say his name. - No?

No, he might not like it.

- Harvest Festival? - Yes.

- Teenagers are... - Quiet.

You're at a restaurant.

Quiet!

- Go. - Hi, I'm Yoo Yeon Seok.

I heard you were having a festival.

I hope you have a fun...

and enjoyable time.

Happy Harvest Festival.

What brings you here?

What?

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

- If I were to be born again, - We already recorded our part.

I will apply to Hyundai High School.

- Okay. Let's go. - Let's go.

(Satisfied father)

Excuse me.

Can we have four bowls of freshwater eel over rice?

(They order 4 bowls of freshwater eel over rice.)

This is nice.

I'm so tired.

I overworked my brain.

I always lose my voice after doing a shoot with Jong Kook.

He talks too much.

I do not.

I lose my voice answering him.

Isn't doing shows with him exhausting, Jae Suk?

- Why would it be exhausting? - I have one every week.

Right?

You two are exhausting.

- I don't wear people out. - How old...

did the youngest director say she was?

- She was really young. - I was surprised to hear her age.

She was born in 1996.

- Born in 1996? - Born in 1996.

- Then she's 30. - That's right.

She's 28 in international age.

- Thirty isn't... - I didn't realize how old she was.

- a young age. - No, it isn't.

If you listen to the song "Around Thirty..."

by Kim Kwang Seok,

- That's right. - it sounds like he's old.

When we were young, 30 seemed much older.

- You're right. - Totally.

- It's similar to 40 nowadays. - Yes, it is.

I think it would be similar to mid-40s nowadays.

It's similar to 40.

Even 40 passed like it was nothing.

You know...

What is 50 like?

- Fifty? - Do you feel yourself suddenly age?

Fifty is like...

Did you feel different?

It's not a good feeling.

- "It's not a good feeling?" - "Not a good feeling?"

- You must've felt it. - But it's different for everyone.

- That's right. - But you feel it as you age.

- That's right. - Andropause hits.

What are we next year?

- Are we 49 or 50 next year? - We're 49.

Is that international age...

- or Korean age? - It's international age.

We originally would've been 50.

- We would've been 50? - Yes.

- You're 50 now. - That's right.

- We would've been 50 next year. - You're 50.

What are you waiting for?

What are you waiting for...

- when you're almost 50? - Hey.

- I should get married. - Why don't we hold...

your 50th birthday today?

- We're already 50? - How old are you?

- Are you 40? - Have that.

- Have some coke. - It's not that.

- Have some coke. - First of all...

We aren't 50 yet.

I'll tell you what 50 is like.

- Congratulations. - We aren't 50 yet.

- You're joining the 50s club. - Look.

- If you turn 50, - Congratulations.

Your body doesn't feel it immediately...

- since you went from 49 to 50. - Right.

But you'll definitely realize that some things are different.

Like what?

Didn't you feel it when you turned 40?

- That's right, - You feel it.

But there wasn't a significant difference.

Turning 50 must feel different.

Having a family and children in your 50s...

and being single in your 50s...

- seem different. - It's very different.

You have no one.

You have no one.

Why are you making that face?

Did you have to give me...

- such a pathetic look? - Since I have no one yet.

- You have plenty of time. - That's just a personal choice.

- You still have time. - You know what?

I'm okay being single.

But seeing all my friends get married and have children,

- I start feeling different. - That's right.

It feels like I'm wasting time by myself.

- He's okay now. - Yes, I am.

You don't have to marry someone who's never been married before.

- Listen. - Well...

I'm not exactly...

- against it. - But...

But I won't pursue divorcees on purpose.

You should start dating first.

- Of course. - Another good thing...

is that there are so many TV shows that help you get married nowadays.

- He can't go on one. - He was even a host.

I'm still a host.

- We're filming the 2nd season. - It's on its 2nd season?

You can go straight from a host...

to a participant.

The other people's ages are...

- He has to go on it. - You aren't the right age...

for the show, right?

What would be the right age range for me then?

The ages of the people on the show vary.

- Is that so? - Wouldn't he be really popular...

on "I Am Solo?"

Hey.

(Getting angry)

I'll take care of myself.

(Yeong Cheol of Season 76 ends up getting angry.)

Or there's one...

- hosted by Joo Byung Jin. - You know what?

- "Never Late for Love." - He's single but not alone.

Didn't you see the numerous people who work out love him?

- I'm not lonely yet. - Of course not.

Why don't you start a new show?

You can call it "Single Gym Rat."

- "Single Gym Rat." - What do you think?

- They'll all be fit. - "Single Gym Rat?"

You get closer...

- while spotting each other. - That's possible.

Instead of using the arrow of love, you can have barbells of love.

- That's enough. - That's good.

- Isn't that a good idea? - Yes, it is.

Okay, add 2kg.

(A matchmaking program that will make the gyms buzz with excitement)

You have to hold a barbell with one hand to choose someone.

Or else you aren't allowed to.

You need strong forearm muscles.

That's a good idea.

- What is one thing... - That's an idea.

That you absolutely need in a person...

and one thing you definitely cannot tolerate?

That sounds too extreme.

- I wouldn't say that. - He doesn't think like that.

- He could have dealbreakers. - But I do have this.

I want someone who supports the things I love to do.

That's so vague.

Let's say there is something that makes her happy.

- You'd respect that? - Yes.

He doesn't want someone interfering with his workouts.

- Of course, you have that. - That's it.

- I'm trying to say... - That's what he means.

"Don't say anything about my workouts."

- It's off-limits. - This is what I often say.

Marriage definitely requires sacrifices.

But let the other person have the one thing they really need.

What if your wife loved fishing, working out, and drinking?

- My wife? - Or your girlfriend.

- Are you mad? - No, but...

He's upset.

My wife?

Why would...

- Why would she live like that? - Are you mad? Our food is here.

Why would she live like that?

- Thank you. - The regular ones are for them.

Thank you.

- Thank you. Gosh, it looks good. - Is there a reason to be that busy?

Gosh!

You know how to eat this, right?

It looks amazing.

You should eat it as it is first.

- Really? - Just eat it as it is?

Just eat it as it is,

and then mix some of these.

- Right. - Have the ochazuke...

with the dried laver and green onions.

- Add these in. - Okay.

- Jae Suk... - Just eat it as it is first.

Jae Suk doesn't like hearing those things.

He turns a deaf ear to these things.

"I get it." This is what he says.

My gosh.

(He takes a bite as it is first.)

- Just eat it as it is 1st. - Just eat it as it is 1st.

- Right. - That happens.

Aren't I right?

(He's really satisfied with the buckwheat soba too.)

It's delicious.

- It's delicious, right? - It's so good.

- Right. - It's so good.

- Just eat it as it is first. - Right.

Should I try eating it the way Yeon Seok told me to?

Yes. Add some of this in.

Add some of this.

- Have the ochazuke... - Thank you.

- with the dried laver... - It's here.

- and green onions. - Where?

You eat them together.

- Just a little bit of it. - What is this?

It's like a broth.

- How much do I add in? - Just enough to soak it.

Just enough to soak it.

It's like how we have rice with water.

It's delicious.

It's delicious, right? It does look good.

You don't have to add a lot.

I think it's better not to add a lot.

(Nodding)

- It will feel different. - It's delicious.

- It's moist. - It's delicious.

It's much better to follow what people say.

It's delicious. There's a reason to listen.

- Of course. - But I hate listening.

How do you know everything?

I had no idea.

It's good.

- I finished the whole bowl. - Gosh.

(Everyone is satisfied with their lunch.)

Do you still play games to decide who pays?

- We do. - We do.

This will be even more intense.

Aren't there more pictures left?

The size of the pickled ginger is hard to tell.

- Let's go with that. - Determine the size of the ginger.

- Let's go with that. - The size?

So we'll choose a piece and spread them out here.

- Okay. - Okay.

(Jong Kook will go first.)

- Okay. - No looking through them.

It's done once you pick one.

- No looking through them? - No.

- It's done once you pick one. - No looking through them?

- No. - No.

- Take the one on top? - Right.

Okay. Fine.

- I can lift it up. - Right.

You got too many of them.

I have to spread it out.

How can you do that? You have to pick one of them.

- I can take this one. - What's that?

This is one piece.

(Spreading)

- No! You have to leave it alone! - It's spreading.

- Leave it alone. - Leave it alone.

It's this one!

- It's not this one! - It's this one!

- It's not this one! - It's this one!

- This is another piece. - It's this one!

- Gosh. - It's that.

- This one is mine. - This is the one you picked!

- How did you get such a big one? - That's yours.

- You got one. - Okay.

(It already looks small from a distance.)

That's yours. Put it down.

- Put it down! - That's yours!

Put it down! Okay.

Gosh.

Spread it out. There's more of it.

- Spread it. - There's more. Spread it out.

- There's more? That's it. - That's it.

- Gosh! - It's hard to pick them.

This one is long.

Doesn't it look long?

- Right. - This one.

- Yes! - No. You have to get that off.

- You have to get that off. - Gosh.

- No. It's part of it. - Come here.

It's going to come off!

- It's that. - This is one piece.

- No way. - What's wrong with you?

- This is one piece? - Come on!

- It's going to tear apart! - Don't make it longer.

- It's going to tear apart! - Don't make it longer.

- Come on! - Don't make it longer.

- Leave it alone. - It's longer.

- It's over. - Okay.

- This is it. - It won't be easy...

to find a smaller one than Jae Suk's.

This one should be bigger.

Go for it.

Check if it's one piece.

Let us see it.

- That's not one piece. - It is.

- Let's see it. - It wasn't one piece for mine too.

It's this one.

I have to hold onto this one without the smaller ones.

- It's not that one. - Why are you tearing it apart?

- Let's see it. - Why are you tearing it apart?

It's much bigger than Jae Suk's piece.

- Gosh! - Okay!

It's hard to find a smaller one than mine.

Thank you for the meal.

- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.

He's so warmhearted.

He lost on purpose to pay for us.

Gosh, I really didn't want to pay this time.

- Come on. - It was a bit expensive.

I really enjoyed it, though.

- Did you enjoy your meal? - It was amazing.

It was great.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

We should have some coffee.

Should we have some from the bakery?

That's not a bad idea.

- An iced Americano... - Hey.

From the bakery would be nice.

- Yes? - Lunch was expensive.

This was enough to cover a team dinner.

- It was really expensive. - Was it expensive?

- How much? - It was a team dinner.

It must've cost over 200 dollars.

- It wasn't that much. - Around 150 dollars?

Gosh.

The eel was expensive.

- But it was good. - It was good.

It was good.

Food that is nutritious and valuable is fine.

- There's no need to feel bad. - It just has to taste good.

Right. You can't be frugal on food.

- Let's cross the road again. - Again?

Are we going back to SBS?

- We can have some coffee there. - Yes.

You're right.

- Right. - We can have some coffee there.

- We can get recharged. - Coffee sounds nice.

(They head back to SBS.)

We'll have some coffee.

Or should we take them to go and sit somewhere?

Should we do that?

- We can sit somewhere else. - We can sit here with the coffee.

We should sit somewhere around there.

- We can take them to go. - I'll pay for the coffee.

- Gosh. - Gosh.

I should pay for the coffee.

- You should. - Right.

I should pay for the coffee. Okay.

- I want a cafe latte. - I have the app on my phone.

- I want it to be light. - Right.

I added in a lot of money in the app too.

- What kind of latte? - I want a latte.

- Would you like a hot latte? - Yes.

Please make it light.

It usually has one shot in it.

- That will be enough. - Would you like half a shot?

- No. One shot will be enough. - Right.

- I would like a cafe latte as well. - A cafe latte?

- I'll get this too. - I'll have a grande size.

- Okay. - Gosh.

- Are you getting this too? - May I?

Go for it.

- May I get some coffee beans? - Go for it, Yeon Seok.

- Sure, Yeon Seok. - Gosh.

- Go for it, Yeon Seok. - No. It's okay.

- Just get it. - Just get it.

- Come on. We'll get this too. - Really?

- Of course. - I'll get this too.

(Tumbler)

- Are you okay? - Of course.

- You look mad. - No.

I should use my card.

- What about your coffee? - A latte.

You're getting a latte too? You all are getting lattes.

(Sneaking away)

- I should get it when he's buying. - I'll get an iced Americano.

Is the grande the smallest size?

- No. It's in the middle. - No. Venti is the biggest one.

- Jong Kook! - I'll have the middle size.

- Grande. - Is that cute?

(It's a purse!)

- Is that cute? Pass it here. - No.

- No. - Get it for Na Eun.

- No. It's really pretty. - Or get it for your wife.

- Pass it here. - But...

- Why are you getting a purse? - Pass it here.

I don't have anything else to spend my money on. Pass it here.

- Gosh. - Is there one in the box for this?

"One in the box?"

We'll get one.

- Right. It's cute and fluffy. - I'll get it for Na Eun.

(Na Eun's purse gets ordered as well.)

- Why did we get so much? - How much?

(They are surprised by the bill.)

It's 127 dollars.

- You ordered four drinks, - Right.

- a tumbler, coffee beans, - Right.

- and the purse, right? - Yes.

Do you need a bag with a handle?

We just came here for some coffee.

- It's as much as the eel. - Excuse me.

- This is the total price, right? - Right.

This can't be 120 dollars on its own.

- It's the total price. - Right.

- It's the total price. - Right.

Thank you, Jong Kook.

Wouldn't it be hard to carry that around?

It's fine.

- We can do that. - I'll help you with the payment.

- Right. Should I insert it? - Yes.

(He ended up getting them gifts.)

- They're loving it. - This is nice.

This is nice.

- What is that, Jae Suk? - I was out of coffee beans.

- What? - What is that?

- This? It's for Na Eun. - It's so pretty.

- It will be perfect for her. - It's so pretty!

It's really pretty.

- She can go to school with it. - I wasn't going to buy it, but...

- Gosh. - It's pretty.

It looks perfect for Na Eun.

It's fluffy.

- Right. - You chose a nice one.

Jong Kook was going to pay for some coffee.

It's similar to the price I paid.

(Looking around)

- What is he up to? - His card didn't work.

His card didn't work, so he's using a different card.

He's not used to spending a lot of money.

Didn't he reach his credit limit after paying for this?

Gosh, this is really disappointing.

It's hard to get gifts for people.

- Who is this for? - It's mine.

- You're using this? - No.

It's for your kid?

- It's for the youngest. - This small tumbler?

- Sure. It's for the youngest. - Thank you, Jong Kook.

- Thank you. - It's great to get you gifts.

- It's amazing. - Gosh.

We just came for some coffee.

He ended up paying as much as our lunch.

This is what happens when things go against you.

You make a lot of money. You should spend a bit.

- Right. - Right.

This is the joy of making money.

- Thank you. - You don't look happy.

- That's not true. - You look a bit...

- Not at all. I feel really happy. - Gosh.

Didn't I get you AirPods the other time?

Right.

We went to a department store together.

- Really? - We went together.

When I meet up with him, I call my three kids,

and the one to pick up becomes the lucky one.

- "Hey!" - He asks if they need anything.

(Santa Jong Kook is famous to Tae Hyun's three kids.)

I still don't have kids.

I should spend my money for his kids.

Will his name be called when the coffee is ready?

I'm always A-something.

A-something.

- Will they let us know? - Right.

- I'll go and check. - It must be out.

Thank you. Customer A-14!

That's me. A-something.

My gosh.

- Here's your light coffee. - Gosh.

- Thank you, Jong Kook. - Here you are.

- It's nice and warm. It's perfect. - Right.

Let's clink our cups.

- It's great after a greasy meal. - Thank you, Jong Kook.

- It's perfect. - Thank you.

It's nice.

You know how to make your own coffee, Yeon Seok.

- Right. - You make it yourself, right?

You must really want to buy these when you see them.

Yeon Seok does everything.

- I was out of coffee beans. - They sell them here.

- Thank you, Jong Kook. - Don't mention it.

(Peeking)

It's my first time seeing someone buy these.

It's actually my first time seeing someone buy these.

We should get going. It's 12pm.

At 12:12pm,

a bus will come.

If we leave at around 12:05pm,

- we won't have to wait. - I see.

(They should slowly head out to catch the bus.)

We'll take the bus.

You take the bus after checking the time? Gosh.

- That's amazing. - The bus times can be checked.

- Really? - Yes.

There are six minutes left.

How is that possible?

Hello.

- It appears in the app. - Really?

The bus stops...

- They're all connected. - all have the systems.

It shows you how many stops are left before it arrives.

There are four stops left.

- Really? - Gosh, it's cold!

That's amazing.

- The wind is really chilly. - I should close the door, right?

- It's windy. - It would be perfect...

to stay at home in a weather like this.

- It would be perfect. - It would be perfect.

I'm here because you called me.

I was supposed to be at home.

- Is this it? - Right.

- Is this it? - Yes.

Hello.

Gosh, it's cold.

- That never happened. - Really?

It's warm if you sit on this these days.

Right. It's heated.

- Take a seat. - It has a bottom warmer?

Check it out.

The seats are warm these days.

- Gosh, it's warm. - Things are so nice these days.

Gosh, try sitting on it.

- It has a bottom warmer? - It's so warm.

(The bottom-warming bench is recommended.)

Check it out.

It's so warm. It's like the floor heating system.

I'm not cold. I'm just trying it out.

- Gosh! - Gosh!

- Hey, it has a bottom warmer! - It's so warm.

- Gosh! - It's so warm.

It's very warm.

- I didn't expect this much warmth. - It's really warm.

This is like the five-star bed.

- It's a lot warmer... - Hey,

- isn't this like the five-star bed? - Gosh.

So that was why people had their hands down here.

My hands naturally ended up down here as well.

That's fascinating too.

Korea is amazing.

We're the country of the floor heating system.

Right.

These sorts of things appear in...

short-form videos of foreigners.

- Fascinating things in Korea. - As they're fascinated.

I haven't seen this one.

- Foreigners should try this. - So that was why people...

had their hands down here.

- It's so warm. - Can the world...

be this nice to live in?

(Breathing heavily)

- Are you upset? - No.

Don't you think it's quite unfair? When we were young,

- we didn't even have benches. - Right.

We usually waited for the bus standing.

Right. I never sat down.

I didn't expect it to be this warm.

- It's really warm. - And before,

we used to...

- shake the hand warmers. - Right.

But these days, they are made like portable chargers.

- I knew that. - Come on!

But that splits in half.

- What? - What?

- Did you know that? - It splits in half?

- What? - Why would it split in half?

- Stop lying. - Stop lying!

- Seriously. - This little punk!

- What are you doing with us? - We used the ones...

- that could be charged. - Right.

But the ones made now...

can be split in half and used in both pockets.

I had this in the past.

- It's a hand warmer that opened... - You have to use oil.

And lit on fire with oil.

That would smell so much.

- Right? - You're right.

- That's for camping. - That's for camping?

- I had that in the past. - Right.

- There it is. - It's not that one.

What? Is the bus here?

- Okay. - The T-money card.

Does the last person have to pay? How is it done?

- The last person? Okay. - I'll do it.

Hello. We'll pay for four people.

Hello. We're a group of four.

- A group of four? - Yes.

- I see. - Gosh.

I always sat in the back.

I'm missing the bench because it's so warm.

Same here.

Then does it turn off when people aren't there?

- No. - No. It's always on.

It's a bit of a waste to keep it on.

That kind of heating system uses more energy...

- when it's turned on and off. - Right.

- Is that so? - It's better to maintain the heat.

- Really? - Right.

What do you do with your heating system at home?

- I don't use it. - He doesn't.

- What? - I don't use it.

- That bench is much warmer... - I don't use it.

Than Jong Kook's house.

- What? - It's not that bad.

It's hard to take a step on the floor in his house.

- It's cold as ice. - Just the living room.

- Just the living room. - Just the living room?

I can put on a long padded jacket. in the living room.

I can wear that.

A long padded jacket works.

Isn't that like an army barracks?

- Listen. - Is that even okay?

I don't understand why I should turn on the heating system...

in that big living room when I live alone.

- Right. - I'm just alone.

I spend a lot of time...

- in my room. - But you do use the living room.

I do. I spend a lot of time in the living room.

That is why I wear a long padded jacket.

(Clear answer)

(The invincible long padded jacket)

Is that weird?

There's no warmth in Jong Kook's house.

Well, if there are more than two people living in that house,

it's worth turning on the heating system.

But I can endure it when I'm alone.

- I don't need to turn it on. - Hey.

It's worth turning on if there are more than two people?

The four of us visited your house. Why didn't you turn it on then?

That was because you guys came temporarily.

- You guys came temporarily. - Gosh.

Let's say your wife went on a trip.

What will you do with the living room?

- My wife went on a trip? - Right.

Then I should hurry up and turn it off.

That's obvious.

I'm saying this as you all might get the wrong idea.

Let's say there are more than two in the house after I get married.

Then I will definitely turn it on as we'll be living together.

But I'm living alone right now,

so I don't need it at all.

I eat in the living room.

I can wear a long padded jacket.

- Stop it. - Why?

You really won't be able to get married.

Stop! Stop talking!

I'll turn it on when I get married. What's wrong with that?

Don't even add those conditions!

Just lie about it.

Just say that your house is warm right now.

No. I can't do that.

- That's why people won't visit you. - What?

- But he got us gifts today. - Right.

Is this something that is hard to understand?

I told you to stop.

- Just stay still, Jong Kook. - I've been saying the same thing...

for ten years. Don't say these things.

Isn't it better to live in a studio apartment then?

But I have a lot of stuff in the house.

- I see. - I need some space.

You should get rid of things.

- What? - Your clothes!

You don't wear all of them.

- You wear the same clothes. - Right. I wear the same clothes.

There's a clothing bin in the apartment complex.

Rather than putting the clothes in there,

I can give away the nice ones to the people around me.

Gosh, people won't wear them as they're not really good clothes.

- They won't wear them. - Gosh.

There are a lot of luxury products hidden in my house.

- Are they clothes? - They're hidden.

I have wallets too.

- Really? - We should visit then.

- I have a lot of things. - Should we visit later?

It's packed.

You can use them then.

Gosh. I just can't.

- I can't stand myself with them. - Then...

you gift others luxury products, right?

Of course. I give out nice gifts.

There's value when the other person likes the gift.

But I don't want to receive them.

You don't want them as gifts?

- I would rather... - What kind of gifts...

- would you like then? - Toothpaste,

- Toothpaste? - soap...

- Soap? - Daily necessities.

- Shampoo. - Daily necessities?

- I love these things. - Shampoo.

I love getting those things as gifts.

Jong Kook likes things like...

- moisture removers. - I do.

I can keep them at home...

and use them right away.

Gifts that you can use for brushing your teeth...

or sweeping the floor.

- Those gifts? - I love those things as gifts.

Soo Chan will be taking the college entrance exam next year.

I should get him a wallet from your place.

Did Soo Chan go past his puberty?

He did.

He didn't even like his name being mentioned.

He was called, "You know who."

- "That guy." - "That guy."

Is that guy okay with his puberty now?

That fellow is over it now.

- I see. - You can't say his name.

He is doing much better.

("He" is doing much better.)

What is his hobby these days?

I'm not sure what his hobby is.

Really?

Isn't he at a time when he should be working out now?

Great news!

He is going through personal training right now.

- Gosh! - He's doing what?

He is going through personal training right now.

- Gosh! - He's doing what?

- Personal training. - That's nice.

- He goes twice a week. - He needs to.

- All kids these days work out. - Right.

- They work out a lot. - Also,

he has cut his hair short.

- Really? - He must be willing to study now.

Really?

(Having short hair means he has the will to study?)

- He must want to study for a year. - That's great to hear.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

Thank you. Goodbye.

You're sitting again?

Gosh, it's so warm.

It's just like the floor heating system.

We have no time.

- We should hurry. - It's so warm.

- Gosh. - I didn't expect this much warmth.

Gosh, how is that possible?

It's Lee Sang Heon.

"I go around Seoul over and over again, every day."

"I have been in charge of getting people..."

"to work and off work."

I'm getting an idea.

- A driver? - It's a driver.

It's the bus or subway.

"I comfort others..."

"with my own sentimental announcement."

"I also get comforted by the view of the Han River,"

"painted red with the sunset."

"I want to be charged with endorphin from Almighty Yoo..."

"and drive happily."

- Great. - It's a driver.

- It must be a driver. - Right.

- Hello. - What?

That's it. It's in front of Exit Two across the road.

- Over there? - Exit Two?

- It must be him? - Is it him?

- It must be him! - What?

- I thought he was... - He's wearing something.

- fairly old. - What kind of driver is he?

Right! He must be the driver...

- of the subway. - He must be a subway driver.

- A subway driver! - He's right there.

- I think I've heard about them. - Gosh.

It's Lee Sang Heon.

Are you Sang Heon?

Yes.

- Hello. - Hello.

- It's great to see you. - Why are you outside?

I came to welcome all of you.

- Gosh, it's great to see you. - Gosh.

He's from Seoul Metro.

Hello.

(Lee Sang Heon, the second Whenever Guest)

Do you make the announcements for the subway?

I don't do that. I'm a driver.

- You're a driver! - You're a driver!

Yes. I'm a driver right now.

- Is it your spare time right now? - Yes.

- It's lunchtime. - I see.

- Where should we go then? - Where should we go?

We have to enter the train depot.

- The train depot? - You have to enter with me.

- Right. - So we'll move together.

- It's my first time seeing it! - The train depot.

We went to the Railroad High School before.

Right.

- The Railroad High School. - The Railroad High School.

- I see. - The one in Yongsan.

- Right. I know that school. - Right.

So you aren't from that kind of school?

I got my license and entered the company...

- through a regular application. - I see.

There's a license for a subway driver?

Yes. You must have that license to enter the company.

- Right. - Right.

- So this is Sinjeong Train Depot. - Right.

This is Sinjeong Train Depot that is in charge of...

- Line Two. - I see.

The trains rest here...

- and depart from here. - This is where they depart.

Really? Here?

You can think of this place as the starting point.

Don't the trains of Line Two keeping going around?

They do go around, but there are two train depots.

- Sinjeong and... - They come in and out.

They come in and out.

Where is the other train depot?

There's Gunja Train Depot.

- In Gunja-dong? - Right.

If you look from afar,

you can see the trains in each hole.

- They're in there. - That's awesome.

- Are they in there? - Yes.

So all of the trains are in there.

Gosh, this looks like what babies would play with...

- Right, Thomas the train. - You know this, right? Thomas.

- Yes, Thomas the train. - There are so many.

How many are there...

- waiting right now? - Right now, I think...

there are about 30 trains here.

- About 30? - Yes, and they'll all go out,

and they're all in here during the non-rush hour.

Oh, they come back here.

- There are 30 trains? - So...

During rush hour, we have...

about 90 trains on the tracks.

- Is that right? - From Gunja too...

- Just Line 2? - Just Line 2.

(During rush hour, there are about 90 trains running on Line 2 alone.)

They're like this.

Let's move to our crew lounge...

in the train depot.

Gosh, not just anyone can come here.

- I know. - It's really fascinating.

- Yes, this is for our crew. - Oh, the crew.

- Here it is. Yes. - Oh, are they resting?

- Hello. - Hello.

- So, this is what it looks like. - Do we take off our shoes?

- It's the lounge and changing room. - What is this?

- Let's go to the back. - Okay.

Gosh, this place is so...

It feels like a dorm.

- How does it work? - We have about 300 crew members...

- Right. - who use this space.

- My gosh. - Is this what it looks like?

My goodness.

We work the night shift and sleep here.

Oh, because you work...

- night and early morning shifts. - Yes.

- Hey, there's a billiards table. - So, during rest hours...

- Yes, we... - It's a billiards hall.

Yes, this is what it looks like.

(There's a billiards hall at the end of the hall in the lounge.)

There's a billiards hall?

There are billiards tables and stuff.

- You can enjoy fun activities. - And you can read here too.

- Yes. - Right. There's a billiards table.

My goodness.

(Staring)

- Jong Kook, he has a good build. - He does.

- I know. - You must work out too.

You look like you work out.

Oh, during our breaks, most of us...

- work out at the gym. - I see.

I mean, he's slim,

but I can tell his muscles are...

You're communing again.

- Whenever he can. - I know.

- Whenever possible... - Yes, you should work out...

- whenever possible. - Then is this your lunch break now?

Yes, it's lunchtime now.

When the crew members work,

we have to be safe.

So no one bothers us during our breaks.

- We just rest... - Right.

You need guaranteed rest.

- The company guarantees... - Yes.

- our break time. - That's right.

- Of course. - For the passengers' safety too.

Then, how many hours do you work when you go out for a shift?

We work two rounds in a shift.

The 1st round is usually between 3 to 4 hours.

- Three hours? - If there's a delay,

- it can be up to five hours. - Oh, my.

And the 2nd round is just 1 rotation for 1 hour and 38 minutes.

- Oh, dear. That must be hard. - So, when you go out to work,

you work 3 to 4 hours in the 1st round.

- Yes, that's right. - You're onboard the whole time?

- Yes, we stay on the train. - Goodness, that must be hard.

Because during rush hour,

- there are lots of passengers. - Yes.

When you drive the train, are there two of you? Or are you alone?

There's one person at either end.

- There's 1 driver and 1 conductor. - Oh, I see how it is.

And as he said earlier, the conductor manages the temperature...

- The air conditioning and heating. - and the announcements...

- So that's how you do it. - If you're alone for three hours,

- Right. - it must be so difficult.

You can't listen to music as you drive, right?

- Our phones are blocked from use. - I'm sure they can't.

- Really? Automatically? - Yes, automatically blocked.

- But how... - Automatically?

- So, during that time, - It sounds so tough.

- we can't use electronics. - It must be so...

If you worked in pairs,

- you could at least talk. - Oh, I see.

But in some ways, it could be like this.

You're by yourself for 3 to 4 hours.

- So, no one bothers you. - For you and me, it's actually...

- No one bothers you. - I think we could do that.

- If no one bothers you... - Hang on.

The two married men seem to want to be alone.

- No, that's not true! - I didn't...

- Do you want some time alone? - No, you're exaggerating.

Am I exaggerating? Is that how you feel?

- But... - Tae Hyun, that's not true!

What?

But I think I could do it if I had to.

- For a few hours... - It would be so hard for us.

Gosh, but if you're working 3 to 4 hours in each round,

- someone like you couldn't do it. - It's hard.

- Why not? - If you keep going to the restroom,

- it would be a problem. - Oh, the restroom.

- What do you do about the restroom? - Isn't that right?

- Well, there are... - I'm sure it's not a chamber pot.

Restrooms for us to use, but...

You have them on the train?

Not in the trains, but in the stations.

- Oh, in the stations. - So you have to run back and forth.

- Yes, we'd have to run. - That won't work.

- But that won't work. - It would be hard.

- The other lines... - Yes?

- have a turning point. - Right.

When they switch places, there's a 15-minute break.

- But since Line Two is a loop, - Because it's a loop.

- we keep going around. - You go around for three hours.

- Right. - Are there longer stops...

at certain stations?

We get 1 minute and 30 seconds at Seongsu Station.

- Seongsu Station. - For us, that's the final stop.

But that's not enough time to go to the restroom.

The biggest difficulty for the crew members is the restroom.

- Right. I thought it would be. - Line Two...

Because the passengers...

on that train can't have any accidents...

- My goodness. - You have to pay attention to that.

Gosh, for over three hours...

And think about it. They have to be underground the whole time.

- That's right. - I know.

It's not hard to work out for three hours.

Right.

- That's not hard, is it? - It's not.

You can refresh yourself by going here and there, doing this and that.

But if you just have to stay on the treadmill for three hours...

- That would be hard. - Just sitting there...

- It would feel like that. - That's right.

I'm sure you have a lot to pay attention to.

Right. There are usually complaints...

from the passengers about being too hot or too cold.

Line Two has a lot of that in particular.

- Yes. - Line Two has...

- so many passengers. - There are.

We have 2.5 million passengers in a day.

- Line Two is so busy. - My goodness.

Yes, Line Two is like that.

Actually, when we're with family at home,

- someone is always cold or hot. - Right.

When you turn on the heating in these times,

- some might say it's too hot. - Right.

- What do you do about that? - What do you do?

- Isn't there a set temperature? - Don't you change the settings...

based on the number of passengers?

Many parts have become systematized now,

so we set the temperature...

between 21 and 24°C.

- All year round. - If it's in that range...

Gosh, it's much warmer and nicer than Jong Kook's living room.

- It's warmer than my living room. - It's much warmer than his house.

I'm sure you still get complaints, though.

- Everyone is wearing puffer coats. - That's right.

If you're wearing clothes made for minus 10°C...

in 21 or 24°C, it would obviously be hot.

That's right.

You know, I wear a puffer coat at home.

There's no reason your house or your living room should be warm.

But there are some people who might think...

- it's still cold. - Yes, there could be.

It's odd, but I think I dozed off a lot on the loop line.

- Right. - I missed my stop a lot.

The loop is the best for sleeping.

I know. I think I sometimes slept,

- not even knowing when to wake up. - Right.

When we check the security camera every now and then,

there are people who are constantly there.

- I think they had a few drinks... - They can't get off.

Several people get off at Hongik University Station with me...

- and go home. - Oh, really?

Don't people usually vomit on the subway?

They vomit, and...

It happens the most at the beginning of the year.

- The beginning of the year? - Yes.

Young people who are drinking for the first time...

- tend to vomit quite often. - I see.

- That could happen. - College students.

So, Hongik University Station is the hardest.

- That station... - I see.

Did you have an interest in...

or dream of working in this field since you were young?

My dream when I was young was...

to become a train driver.

Gosh, you've achieved your dream.

I don't really remember it very well,

but I was the first generation that grew up with digitization.

So I can look up school newsletters online.

And when I looked, I said that I wanted to become...

- a train driver every year. - A train driver.

- Ever since you were young. - Ever since you were young.

I saw that last year.

- Oh, really? - I didn't know that I wrote that...

- for my dream. - The first digitized generation.

- They didn't have records on paper. - Right.

Can you look it up online?

I guess so.

I think you can if you were born on or after 1991.

(Born in 1972, Born in 1976)

- We can't look it up. - Our records aren't online.

You have to go to your school.

We have to go to our schools...

- and find it there. - No, if our parents kept them...

Why would they have kept records that weren't great news?

How did you end up writing to Whenever Possible?

This is my ninth year working at the company.

- Nine years? - Yes, it's been nine years,

but always living the same life and going on the same loop...

- It must've been so repetitive. - As I watched the first episode,

I thought it would give my life a boost of endorphin if you came.

That's right.

Can't you switch to a different subway line?

- Is that a different company? - Once we're assigned to a line,

we stay there until we retire.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

- So, you'll only drive on Line Two. - All my life.

- Yes. - Oh, my.

You can't switch?

- You can, but it's hard to do. - It must be hard.

The only way you can switch is with a good reason.

Really?

But if you end up retiring here,

- then Line Two would be... - Right.

Could you do something more here...

and switch to another position,

driving KTX trains or something?

Well, we are... KTX is owned by Korail.

- We are Seoul Metro. - It's a different company.

- It's a separate company. - Yes.

- You'd have to apply there. - Yes, I would.

- This is Seoul Metro. - Yes.

I think it might be nice...

to drive out in the open after driving underground.

- That's true. - Line Two has...

quite a lot of sections above ground.

- That's true. - The train...

- Since they're different companies, - It does go up and down.

He drew a clear line.

- "That's Korail." - We all work on TV,

but each broadcasting station works differently.

- Okay. - I see.

Yes, it's different.

I think that topic is off-limits.

I understand.

So, when you wrote to the show,

you said you hoped Almighty Yoo would boost your endorphin.

Oh, actually,

my father...

had leukemia when I was in high school.

- I see. - So,

there were treatments he could get at the hospital,

but other than that, the best thing for him was to laugh.

They said he should watch lots of funny shows.

- "Infinite Challenge?" - He kept "Infinite Challenge" on...

and enjoyed watching it so much.

He had his doctors,

- but he also had Almighty Yoo... - That's right.

- by his side. - That's right. How nice is that?

So, when I told my dad that I was meeting you,

he said, "We must have a connection with him."

- He was so happy. - And did your father recover?

- Yes. - I'm guessing he did.

Goodness, that's such a relief to hear.

Laughter plays such a big role.

- Of course. - Yes.

- Actually, the work that we do... - We should feel good about our job.

- is a valuable thing. - Yes, of course.

I've come to learn how great it is that there are jobs...

- that make people laugh. - Gosh, thank you.

You said that you made sentimental announcements.

What kind of praise did you get from a passenger?

So, if our passengers send in texts...

with words of praise,

I get them in a letter.

- Oh, really? - Really?

I made some sentimental announcements...

and received some letters of praise.

Could you tell us an announcement if you remember any?

Right now?

- Something you remember. - I'll try.

Well...

Hello, passengers.

I'm Lee Sang Heon, the crew member on Train 2222.

How has your day been today?

I'm sure it was a happy day for some, a normal day for others,

and maybe even a bad day for some of you.

I will carry the emotions you felt today...

and drive you to your destination safely.

I hope you have a comfortable ride on this train.

Good job today.

For people having a hard day, this would make them cry.

- This would just make you cry. - Gosh, that's so true.

That's so sentimental.

- It would make people cry. - Even your voice is...

You have the voice of someone who works on the radio.

- You have a great voice. - Yes.

That was worthy of getting...

- letters of praise - I know.

Yes, I think that was it. People said they were moved by this.

I think I saw this on social media.

And his comment was so nice and simple.

They say that some things in life could be blessings in disguise.

If you say that, do you know what people would say?

While riding the train... "What is he talking about?"

(He'd get letters of complaints, not praise.)

- "How annoying." - I mean...

If you try to say something too grand,

- it can be annoying. - Yes.

They say that some things in life could be blessings in disguise.

(His comment ends after talking about blessings in disguise.)

Then, today, we should really...

Let's try a mission here.

- We succeeded in Round Two earlier. - Yes.

- We got up to Round Two. - We gave out presents.

Let's try to do a good job for the last time this season.

- Finish on a good note. - Yes, we should.

(They start the mission after moving to a different spot.)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you so much.

Drive safely!

- You can do it! - Thank you!

You can do it!

- Happy New Year! - Bye.

Amen!

Thank you.

Amen!

- He said, "Amen." - Yes, "Amen."

- Gosh, "Amen" was... - "Amen."

- Gosh, that was... - That was funny.

- They all say hi. - I felt like I was a cult leader.

Oh, a table tennis room? I'm good at table tennis.

- What? Is it table tennis? - There's a table tennis room?

- It's a table tennis room. - They have a table tennis room.

- Table tennis is so much fun. - I'm good at table tennis.

Gosh, table tennis.

- Gosh, table tennis is hard. - Is it not regular table tennis?

- Of course not. - It won't be plain table tennis.

- Are you all drivers? - Gosh, we have...

- Oh, my. The crew. Hello. - Hello.

- They're conductors. - Conductors.

(The conductors came as a cheer squad.)

- Then, Round One. - Yes.

- It's a fortune cookie. - If you crack the fortune cookie...

for Round One, the prize will be written inside.

What kind of prize will it be?

Please read it out loud.

Oh, "Running is great for your biorhythm. I want to keep doing it."

"The must-have item for runners."

- "A pair of Nike running shoes." - Nike running shoes.

Running shoes.

Gosh, running is all the rage these days.

Are you perhaps part of a running club or something?

I'm not in a club, but I run with my friends and In Su here.

- Really? - Oh, you're a runner.

- Are you guys the same age? - Yes.

- Indeed. - Oh, really?

(Bottle Ping Pong)

(Serve a ball...)

(and knock off the target ball.)

(Round 1)

(Knock off 1 table tennis ball.)

Knock off a table tennis ball?

If they put it on something,

we must have to hit it and knock it off.

- Right? - This sounds hard.

Oh, and there's a time limit too?

Oh, you have to knock that off?

It's way too hard.

(They succeed if they just hit 1 out of 3.)

You have ten balls total.

You just have to knock off 1 in 30 seconds.

- Oh, okay. - Do we split them however we want?

Do you have a double-sided paddle?

- We do. - I'll take that.

I want a double-sided one.

We're the generation of the 1988 Summer Games, you know?

Do you want to play a game of 2-on-2 to warm up?

- Warm up? - Table tennis?

Yeon Seok must be good at table tennis.

I'm pretty good.

- What use is warming up right now? - Try it.

What do we...

We could split the balls like 2, 3, 3, 2.

- Right. - Okay.

- Gosh, that was too... - Rather than diagonally,

it's better to serve straight.

- Darn it. - Gosh, but this is hard.

- It doesn't work. - Hey, this is just...

I think a diagonal serve is better.

Out of all of the missions we've had so far,

- I think this is the hardest. - This is hard.

Hey, Yeon Seok.

- We should split the ten balls. - Yeon Seok...

(It's hard.)

- Gosh, this is hard. - We should split the ten balls.

- My goodness. - Oh, this is too...

I can't get the hang of this.

My goodness!

Darn it.

But if Round One is this hard,

- how will we do Round Two? - Gosh, this is hard.

Hey, this is difficult.

(They can't hit the target.)

I don't think I'll even get the prize for Round One.

We can't do this, even if we each get ten balls.

I don't think we can do this.

- How do we do this? - Gosh, this is so hard.

This seems way too hard.

It makes no sense.

Not too hard.

- And stay low. - Yes, that's important.

Without a rebound...

Gosh, we haven't even hit it once?

- Oh, I got it. - Nice. Okay.

We haven't even hit it once?

- Oh, I got it. - Nice. Okay.

I found the direction.

- Did I just hit it too? - This is... Hey.

If the ball rebounds once about here,

- it's about the right distance. - Is that right?

One rebound.

(A rebound about here)

(They practice according to Jong Kook's tip.)

See? Right there. That's it.

One rebound.

(Yeon Seok practices without a rebound.)

That's harder.

(Bullseye!)

Oh, I can do this too, right?

No rebound.

No rebound? Can you do it?

(Yeon Seok goes with the no rebound strategy.)

No.

Find the distance.

Okay, I'm zeroing in on the target.

- I found the right distance. - Okay, now...

I found the right distance.

We should start trying the mission.

I got it. Okay.

I got it. Let's try this.

Then, how many should we each do?

- Rock-paper-scissors. - Rock-paper-scissors.

- Then we'll do 3 each. - Okay, 2.

Okay. No, you do three.

You hit the target.

- Why are you backing out? - No, I'll do two.

- Then I'll do three. - Good.

Are we doing three?

Will this actually work?

You will try with 3, 3, 2, and 2 balls. You just need 1 out of 10.

- Let's get rid of the time limit. - Ten balls...

- We don't need a time limit. - within 30 seconds.

We could get rid of the time limit, couldn't we?

I know.

- The time limit is unnecessary. - Why do we...

- Don't you think so? - But then...

Gosh, you won't let any mission start easily.

Gosh, seriously.

Let's just try it once!

- Whether it's in 30 seconds or not. - Let's try...

- Let's try it. - Round One.

- Okay. - Let's go!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

- All right. - What order are we going in?

- Should we go like this? - Yes, let's do this.

Okay, let's try this.

- Ready. Yes. - We just need to knock one off?

- Just one. You can do it, Tae Hyun. - Okay!

All right. I'll finish it in one try.

- We have 30 seconds. - Ready.

Hey, you should've held it in your hand.

Why did you keep that in your pocket?

All right.

We have no time.

We did it!

(He knocked it off!)

(They succeeded in a flash!)

- We did it! - Okay!

- We did it! - Okay!

(Cheering)

- Yes! - Success!

Yes, we did it!

- Round One! - Yes!

You were so surprised, weren't you?

- My gosh. - Goodness.

- Hey. - Ahn Yeon Seok, it's been a while.

- Gosh, that was awesome. - Yoo One Shot.

- Like this. - Yoo One Shot.

- Hey, Ahn Yeon Seok. - Let's use this method.

- That was... - You haven't succeeded in a while.

Hey, that was great.

- It was... - The taste of success.

Let's go to Round Three!

- Nice. - Good.

- Let's go to Round Three! - Nice.

We succeeded in Round One for now. So,

you win the running shoes.

- Yes! - Okay!

- My gosh. - Hey, this is...

- Yeon Seok... - We should go for Round Two.

- Hey, Yeon Seok's method is great. - You should go for Round Two.

- You got it right away. - But...

- But the game will get harder. - That was amazing.

But we should go for Round Two, to be honest.

- There's no doubt about it. - Of course, we should go.

Will you go or stop?

- My gosh. - We should go for Round Two.

- Okay. - Sang Heon, In 1, 2, 3.

- I will go for it. - Right.

We have ten chances left right now.

- That was awesome. - Nine.

No, this will be...

"Sleeping well in a nice environment is important."

"Samsung..." Oh, gosh.

It's okay.

It's okay.

"Air purifier."

- Yes! - An air purifier. My gosh.

They bring it out right away.

Gosh, this is a nice one.

- Oh, my. That looks nice. - It's nice.

(Sleeping well in a nice environment is important.)

(Samsung air purifier)

- What will it be now? - But this is...

- I'm nervous about this. - Yes?

Just because we succeeded in Round One...

Right, Round Two might be...

We haven't had many good results in cases like this.

No, things will be good today.

(Round 2: Knock off 2 table tennis balls.)

- In 30 seconds, - The time limit's still 30 seconds?

- We can do this. We did it before. - Let's give Yeon Seok five balls.

Yes, Yeon Seok could do it.

- Anyway, - Okay.

- let's do 3 and 2 like earlier. - Okay.

How many do I get? Two? How many?

- Hey, take 1 more. - I had 2 earlier.

- Yeon Seok, take 1 more! - I just need 2.

- Yeon Seok, take 1 more. - Gosh, thank you.

(He's being treated like the ace for the first time.)

- Gosh, thank you. - Hey, this is a pretty good method.

Hey, that's great.

This is better.

And Yeon Seok is tall and lanky.

- So he can stretch out more. - Right.

- He has a farther reach than us. - They said it was fine.

He can lean in much farther.

If you just aim well like this...

- Right. You're doing well. - Good.

- That's good. - Oh, nice.

- Hey, we can definitely get one. - Wasn't that a success?

That's good.

- Hey, we can definitely get one. - Wasn't that a success?

Wasn't that a success?

Hey, was that not an official try?

- Hey. - Let's try it.

(No way!)

Hey. We can definitely get one.

Why didn't you say this was an official try?

- But another person has to succeed. - Hey.

- At this rate... - No.

- Does it have to be one each? No. - But...

No, he can knock off both.

Oh, your face looks like you're in a difficult spot.

Yeon Seok could do it.

(His lips keep curling upward.)

- We have lots of chances. - All right. Round Two.

- Let's try it. Two balls. - Hey.

- Let's try it. - Let's make a miracle of...

- finishing Round 3 in 3 tries. - Let's do all 3.

- Let's do this. - Let's say a cheer.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

- Let's go. - In 1, 2, 3.

Hey, let's do this at once.

- In 1, 2, 3. Let's go! - In 1, 2, 3. Let's go!

- Let's do this. - I'll go last.

- Okay. - Since I tasted success once...

- You take three. - How many do you have, Yeon Seok?

- I have 2. - I have 3.

- Let's give more to Yeon Seok. - You should take four.

- You should do 4. - What, 4?

- I'll just do three. - No, you should do it.

(They give the ace more chances.)

- It's 2, 2, 2, and 4. - Okay, 2, 2, 2, 4.

- Let's go. - Ready.

- My gosh. - What a shame.

- Okay. - We still have time.

- What a shame. - Okay.

- All right. - Okay.

- I told you I got the distance! - Nice!

(Bullseye!)

(Jong Kook knocks off 1 table tennis ball!)

(They succeed if they just knock off one more.)

- I told you I got the distance! - Nice!

Just one more.

- We're so close. - Just one more.

(Now, only Yeon Seok, the ace, is left.)

(Just one more!)

(Please!)

We got it.

Hey, hurry. How much time do we have?

(The remaining time is 10 seconds.)

We just need to do one more.

Here I go.

Here I go.

(He did it!)

(Cheering)

- My gosh. - Nice!

Success!

(They clear Round 2 in 2 tries for the 1st time ever.)

(He did it again!)

(Here I go.)

(Haven't you seen an ace before?)

No way!

- Hey, we have eight tries left. - Hey.

- Amen! - Amen!

- Amen. - Okay.

- Gosh, that was awesome. - Nice.

- Gosh, we're going to Round Three. - Don't change it.

Don't change it.

- But Round Three... - All right!

- Round 2. - With that, Round 2 is...

- a success! - The air purifier.

(He wins the running shoes and air purifier!)

But this is seriously...

(In a daze)

I was surprised too.

- Gosh, you... - Hey, you're amazing.

- You and Jong Kook... - I said I was good at table tennis.

- You really are good at this. - This is your game.

- You're good. - And Jong Kook. You did one.

- I cleared one. - Nice.

- Yes, Jong Kook. - All right.

- Nice. - All right.

- Nice! - Good job.

Yoo Yeon Seok soars whenever he sees me.

- Hey, you're just... - That's right. Nice.

- Back then, the shoe at the end... - Very nice.

Of course.

(Refer to Episode 6.)

(Shouting)

(What did I say?)

(I told you Yeon Seok could do it!)

(The curse on his foot was broken when he met Tae Hyun.)

- Hey, you're just... - That's right. Nice.

- Back then, the shoe at the end... - Very nice.

- Of course. - But...

- Can we really do Round Three? - Until now,

we've never succeeded in Round 3 in just 3 tries.

This is awesome.

Gosh, this is really...

(They carefully start getting their hopes up.)

- We still have the coupon too. - What should we do?

- Should we go for it? - We have here...

- We have to go for it. - Should we do it?

- But what is... - We have to go for it.

- Should we go for it? - We have to go for it.

- Gosh, it'd be a shame not to. - I mean...

It does get harder.

- That's okay. - Did we start too early?

- It'll just be knocking 3 off. - It will be the 3 balls.

- It will be knocking three off. - We can do it.

- Oh, really? - We can do it.

It will be knocking three off. What more is there to do here?

- Gosh, this is just... - Let's go.

Go or stop? It's the final Round Three.

I will go for it.

- Go! - Go!

- But... - We have to go for it.

- There's nothing more to do. - You chose to go, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

"No electronics in the operating room."

"I want to be free in my spare time."

"The latest Galaxy tablet PC."

- A Galaxy Tab? - A tablet PC.

Gosh, a Galaxy Tab.

- No way. - My gosh.

- It's about 1,100 dollars. - My gosh.

Hey, you don't have to state the price.

- Why would you tell us that? - Gosh, this is...

(I want to be free in my spare time. The latest Galaxy tablet PC)

Gosh, how much is the total?

- Isn't it about 2,500 dollars? - This would be over 2,000...

- It's almost 2,000 dollars. - It's about 2,000 dollars.

- It's over 2,000 dollars. - In total.

(Knock off 3 table tennis balls.)

- Okay. - I see.

- I told you. - It's not easy.

(Knock off all 3?)

It's not easy.

- Let's do this. - Do we get ten balls?

- Yes, it's the same. - Do we get ten?

It's not easy,

- It's not easy, but we'll do it. - but we can do it.

- It's enough. - It's not easy, but we'll do it.

Take two each.

- We'll do 2 each. You take 4. - You take 4.

- Yes, it's perfect right now. - Four? Okay.

- Yeon Seok will go last. - Four.

Hey, Yeon Seok finally found his game.

(He's getting the royal treatment as the ace.)

For the past few weeks,

- Ahn Yeon Seok... - Gosh, we should...

- I didn't taste success very much. - Right.

- You're a table tennis player. - But you found your game today.

- Nice. - I found it in the end.

- Let's end it in one try. - Let's go!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Seriously, the final...

- In Round 3, - Knocking off 3...

- we'll be writing history. - won't be easy.

- Yes, of course. - We're writing the show's history.

- Knocking off three won't be easy. - We'll be writing history.

Ready.

(Out of 10 total tries, they're on try number 3.)

(Will they be able to keep up their momentum in Round 3 as well?)

Knocking off three won't be easy.

- Ready. - All right. Let's go.

Set.

It would be great if you succeeded.

- Is it me? Okay. - Darn it.

Darn it.

- Is it me? Okay. - Darn it.

It would be great if you succeeded.

What's up with you?

Okay!

It would be great if you succeeded.

- What? - What's up with you?

(He knocked off two balls in a flash!)

Okay!

(Now, there's only one table tennis ball left.)

(And the remaining player is Jae Suk...)

(and the ace, Yeon Seok.)

(We will be writing history.)

Hey, let's do this. Let's succeed.

I told you.

(He knocked it off!)

I told you.

(This actually worked?)

What was that?

Gosh, that was insane.

(The cameraman)

What was that?

(They succeeded in Round 3 in only 3 tries!)

I told you so!

I said we only needed two each!

(They succeeded in Round 1 on the 1st try.)

- See? I told you. - Hey, take it out of your pocket.

(They succeeded in Round 2 on the 2nd try.)

(And they continued with the third try.)

(They succeeded in all rounds on the third try!)

I said we only needed two each!

(A blissful celebration)

(The miracle of the table tennis room)

- We did it. See that? - My goodness.

- We did it. - All right.

How could they do this in just three tries?

It's so hot. I'm sweating.

- No way. - That was awesome.

Hey, look at the staff. They're dropping their heads.

(The staff was flustered by their lightning-fast success.)

We wrote a new history of Whenever Possible!

We succeeded in Round 3 in just 3 tries.

- Success! - Success!

Yes!

Hey, this was a hard game too.

Knocking off all three was hard.

Gosh. Congratulations.

- I told you. - My goodness.

- Congratulations. - I found the perfect distance.

- I didn't even get a chance. - That was amazing.

(They succeeded without even needing the ace.)

Rather than thinking that I had to succeed,

- I knew Yeon Seok was behind me. - Right.

- You were relaxed. - You felt at ease.

I just did it, thinking that Yeon Seok was behind me.

Hang on. Round Four, go!

- Round 4, go! - Do we have a Round 4?

- Round Four, go! - What should we do?

- Gosh, this was so cool. - It was incredible.

We did it, but it was so cool.

Hey, that was nice.

Yes, but this was just...

- It was nice and clean. - It's over.

All right. With that, we will give Sang Heon...

We were so surprised ourselves.

But...

To think we'd wrap up this season...

on such a clean...

- and crisp note. - Is this okay?

- The last three shots... - It's the last episode.

Hit the three balls in order.

Jae Suk. Is this okay?

With that, you even get a tablet PC today.

Thank you.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

- Jong Kook and Tae Hyun... - Yes.

Joined us in this season's last episode today.

Please say some final words.

My voice is hoarse now.

- You've lost your voice. - Yes.

It's been a while since I've had fun conversations on shows.

Talking was fun too,

and doing a good deed made me very happy.

Thank you for having me.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Tae Hyun. - I'll make it short.

Next time, I'll also bring Hyuk.

Okay.

The three of us next time. Okay.

We, Yeon Seok, the production crew, and I,

would like to thank the many people...

for sparing their time for us.

When it gets warmer,

we will return and greet everyone.

Thank you to the viewers who have been with us.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.
