LEE JUNG-HOON'S NEWS LIVE

Hello, everyone.

This is Lee Jung-hoon's News Live.

FIREFIGHTING 119

This afternoon, a fire broke out in Hwarang Department Store in Gangnam,

resulting in the evacuation of dozens of customers and employees.

Thankfully, no lives were lost,

but the shocking moment could have led

-to a bigger disaster. -Stand by.

Cho Il-kwon reports from the accident site.

Hwarang Department Store is filled with smoke

as it sits in the middle of the city.

Jung-hoon, we have tons of footage to play.

Please speak faster than usual.

Prompter, make sure you speed up too.

Okay, I'll speed it up.

On the fifth floor of the store…

Stand by. Twenty seconds to go.

What?

What's wrong?

THERE WERE NO CASUALTIES

What's going on?

-Did the prompter crash? -Yes.

Wait, what's wrong with this?

Fire officials mobilized 25 trucks and over 100 firefighters

to extinguish the flames.

Thanks to their effort, the fire was put out…

-What's wrong? -We can't lose the prompter

in the middle of the news.

Didn't you check the equipment?

I did.

It was fine before.

We have five seconds left.

Darn it.

-Okay, three, two, one. -The police are investigating the cause.

-Cho Il-kwon reporting for HBN. -Anchor.

Fire officials announced their decision to hold a special inspection

-to put an end -Kill me.

to the violation of the Fire Services Act.

They'll hold the fire safety inspection

for 16 different facilities used by many people, such as airports, malls,

and hotels.

The inspection will include the access to fire exits…

Why are his lines so long?

…by leaving obstructing objects

and other clauses included in the Fire Services Act.

Choi Yul reports.

The enforcement was decreed upon…

He memorized it, right?

I'm sure he did.

The prompter is off.

Do you think we don't know?

Why did you come up here?

-Get someone to fix it! -Yes, sir.

Jung-hoon, there's a problem with the prompter right now.

Yes, I'm aware.

We don't know how long this will go on.

How much do you have memorized? Can you do this without a prompter?

I'll try.

"I'll try"? Geez.

Don't get cocky and make a mistake.

Keep checking your script while the video is playing.

If you think you'll stutter, look at the script and read it.

That's better than stuttering.

Darn it.

Where's the tech team?

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Listen to what he said. He sounds pretty confident.

He has a great memory. You should know that.

And he's good at interviewing guests without the script too.

That's because he memorized it all through the night.

This is different.

People go down when they're overly confident.

But the problem is this.

If he goes down, I go down with him.

Why aren't they coming?

-I'm sorry. -He's here.

Can you do it in ten seconds?

No, it'll take at least ten minutes.

This is driving me insane.

The law of time is solid.

It only flows forward, and you can never turn it back.

However, there is one way to go back in time.

SEO M. H.

It's through your memories.

TO YOU, WHOM I REMEMBER

WITHOUT YOU, THE MOON WILL FADE

That's the last sentence.

Anchor, check your script.

Stand by. Five seconds.

Okay, three, two, one.

Anchor!

Voice phishing had been rather simple until recently,

like impersonating policemen or prosecutors

to deceive senior citizens in their 60s and 70s,

but methods have become more clever.

A recent method scammers use,

which involves stealing photos and creating a social media account

to ask their friends for money, has been affecting many people.

They usually ask for an amount less than a million won

to avert suspicion.

Some claim to know…

Unfortunately…

I remember too many things.

Hello.

I'm Lee Jung-hoon.

Did I do that right?

Yes.

This time,

let's talk about a memory from a very long time ago.

What's the first memory you have?

What's the first thing you remember?

A toy fire engine.

It was a red fire engine.

I FELL DOWN FROM A MERRY-GO-ROUND

-It fell on my head, -Mom!

and it hurt a lot.

Goodness, Jung-hoon. Gosh, Jung-hoon.

It hurts.

There, there, Jung-hoon.

-It's okay. -I sat there crying,

then my mom ran over and held me.

It's okay. There, there, my dear.

All right.

My mom always smells so good.

How old were you?

I was very young.

I once asked Mom about it,

and it was when I couldn't even speak.

Come on, that's a lie.

I'm not lying!

Yoo Tae-eun.

You said you'd stay quiet until I'm done asking questions.

But isn't it normal to forget memories from when you were a baby?

He might be saying he remembers things

that he simply heard someone said later.

He doesn't actually remember them.

It's not like that.

My mom never told me about that until I asked her about it.

I see.

Then, do you remember everything that happened to you

from the time when you were a baby?

No.

I remember some things

from when I was very young, but I don't remember everything.

Then, from what point exactly do you remember everything?

February 11th, 1990.

That's when I was six years old.

Can you tell me what happened on that day?

February 11th.

It was a Sunday.

Mom wasn't in the room when I woke up.

I slept with her in my room the night before.

When I went out to the sitting room,

I saw that she had been making toast.

She drew a picture with ketchup.

It was awful.

Then what happened?

Right, by any chance,

do you remember anything you saw on TV or in newspapers?

Yes.

In the morning paper, I saw an article that said

Nelson Mandela would be freed.

"The Republic of South Africa

Will Free

Mandela."

"President Frederik Willem de Klerk

held a news conference.

He said Mandela will be freed on the 11th at 3 p.m., which is 10 p.m. in Korea,

from Cape Town's Victor Verster Prison, to become a free man."

Mom said

I'm a very happy person

because I can remember

all my fun and precious memories

without forgetting them.

But I think

she was wrong.

Not all memories are great.

-Great work. -Great work.

Great work.

Why do you look so down?

I was the one who did the news without a prompter.

You were very cool today.

It was awesome. You have my respect.

Is that sarcasm?

No way.

I'm not insane.

-It's not that. -What is it?

Did Chairman Oh refuse the interview?

-How did you know? -It's obvious.

His department store was on fire.

He wouldn't want to be on the news to show off.

Exactly.

Why did that have to happen now?

What should we do?

He's turning it down as a show to make sure we don't bring up the fire.

Then what should I do now?

I'll give him what he wants and persuade him to come.

Make sure you get a solid answer before noon tomorrow,

and send out the news release.

But you'll bring up the fire.

I won't.

-Really? -Yes.

Come on, you're lying.

What if he really sues us?

You're a reporter who always lies.

Next week's guest.

FIRST HALF OF 2020, GUEST DATA

EVERYONE'S FIRST LOVE

Yeo Ha-jin is our guest next week?

Yes. You do know who she is, don't you?

Why is she promoting her movie on the news?

Can I ask to change the guest?

You can't.

It's the chief's order to go lighthearted once a month.

Why do you look so happy as you're saying that?

You look thrilled.

No, I doubt it.

Finish the talk with Chairman Oh before noon tomorrow.

Get to Hwarang Department Store by noon.

-We'll investigate the scene a bit more. -Come on!

You are going to bring it up!

Hey, you're home.

Is this a pigpen or a man's house?

You have no food at home. I got all these for you.

Will you clean up as you eat?

Okay, fine. I'll clean it up.

Why are you overreacting?

Why do you always do this at my place when you have a home?

It's five minutes from the hospital, but you travel 30 minutes to come here.

-Don't you think that's weird? -Hey.

I'm here today on business.

-What's it concerning? -You.

You didn't show up for the appointment.

I'll sleep here tonight and take you to the hospital tomorrow.

Was that today?

I forgot.

You forgot?

That's the funniest thing I've heard in my entire life.

Lee Jung-hoon forgot something?

I'm cracking up.

I never said I'd show up.

You made the appointment without your patient's approval.

You got tested once a year when my dad was your doctor,

and I'm your doctor now.

Is this discrimination?

Honestly, it's only natural to do so.

Professor Yoo is a prestigious brain scientist

and a professor at a college,

but you just run a tiny neighborhood hospital.

Hey, my hospital is the biggest neuropsychiatry clinic

in that neighborhood.

Forget it. I'm not going.

Listen to your doctor.

I'm dragging you to the hospital,

-so remember that and-- -The inside of this head

has always been the same, and it always will be.

I don't want to get tested to confirm that once again.

If I've done it for 25 years, isn't it about time I stopped?

Has it been 25 years already?

We're old.

This is terrible.

Right. Do you know Yeo Ha-jin?

The actress? Well, everyone does.

No, personally.

She's my guest next week.

She's been blowing up on social media,

so I searched her account and saw that she's following you.

Oh, really?

I didn't know.

I have a lot of followers. I'm pretty popular.

Man, you're so annoying.

Clean everything before I kick you out.

-Yeo Ha-jin! -Geez.

She's dead.

Hey, Yeo Ha-jin!

Yeo Ha-jin!

Now is not the time to be sleeping!

Get up. Hurry and get up.

Don't speak to me like that. I'm older than you.

That isn't the issue, you know.

Gosh, the phone is ringing nonstop.

Is it another scandal?

Yes, that's right.

With whom?

"With whom?"

Who do you think?

Yeo-min. Or is it Kwang-jin?

So you do know.

I got it.

It was with Kwang-jin.

It's not true.

Both with Joo Yeo-min and Seo Kwang-jin.

What?

YEO HA-JIN PLAYS BOTH SIDES

"Play both sides"?

You haven't eaten. Will it be enough?

Yes, I'll be fine.

We don't have much time before your practice.

We came all the way over here. We should eat something at least.

I found a nice sashimi place when I came here for a shoot.

-I'll tell my manager I'll be a bit late. -Don't bother.

We can do it another day.

Then, shall we just go for a drive today?

-We have to come back here later, okay? -Okay.

Let's get going.

I haven't been out in a while. It's so nice.

I know. It's been too long.

I've been so busy. Gosh.

-The restaurant I just told you about, -Yes?

we really have to go there another time.

-The sashimi place? -Yes.

Too bad we can't go.

-It's really nice. -Let's go next time.

-Okay. -I asked for an iced coffee. It's hot.

We just had coffee. Why is it scandalous?

Drinking coffee isn't the issue.

The fact that you two went all the way to Gangneung

for coffee is the problem.

I met up with a friend for one day, and you cause this ruckus?

We came back after going for a drive by the coast. I didn't get out of the car.

THEY ENJOYED COFFEE

If I'd known they were taking pictures of me,

I'd have eaten the sashimi.

Sashimi, my foot.

My face looks huge, right?

Yeo-min looks good.

After a drive by the coast, you came home. Then you went to meet Kwang-jin?

Yes, I made plans with him a week ago. And I met Yeo-min on a whim.

Then, you were with Kwang-jin at his home?

Why would I go there?

-We parted ways after dinner. -Then how did they get a picture of you

at the parking lot of Kwang-jin's place?

There's a spot.

Because I parked my car there.

I know, but why did you park your car there?

You know that I can't park well.

-Reverse. -That restaurant's car park

is absolutely cramped.

They don't have valet because they're so busy.

Kwang-jin lives next to the restaurant, so I parked there.

Turn the steering wheel to the left?

I did it.

Why are you so late?

You already finished parking.

I was going to…

do it for you.

What's up?

Because we might get caught together?

No.

Come over here.

Hang on.

Well, you never know.

Why are you dressed so lightly?

I'm not cold at all.

No, you'll get cold.

You'll get cold.

-It's stuffy. -You have to put it on.

-That's it. -It's hot and stuffy.

No, you look prettier with this on.

This hat is a statement piece.

Is it?

Should I put mine on too?

Where's the point in that?

Then I don't want to eat.

What?

Okay, fine.

Hey, no.

Cover yourself.

When you look at him in this photo, he looks so attentive.

Actually, he's so timid.

What about this picture?

Don't I look really nice?

Saved.

Do you know what you've gotten yourself into?

Of course I do.

I got into two scandals in one day.

-With two different men, at that. -So you're aware.

How can someone who knows that save a photo from the scandal?

What can you do? The story already came out.

You must be a saint. You're going straight to heaven.

But "playing both sides" is too harsh.

I'm not even dating them. How can I play both sides?

Geez. They don't even give me a chance to have a fling.

You get to know someone during a fling.

Then you start dating properly so that it lasts a long time.

Don't you think so, Chul?

Yeah, sure.

My gosh, you're so prudent. Isn't that right, Chul?

Sure.

-What's going on over there? -What?

What's up?

My new movie must be a hit.

Isn't that Yeo Ha-jin?

I have more female fans.

-She's coming! -The movie isn't even out yet.

Look carefully. Do they look excited to see you?

They look like they're here to fight.

STOP FLIRTING WITH KWANG-JIN

How dare you date Yeo-min?

How dare you seduce my Yeo-min?

Did you hit on my Kwang-jin?

-You dirty bitch! -Hey!

They're Yeo-min and Kwang-jin's fans.

Yes, Ms. Park. Can you send someone down?

We just arrived, and it's a mess.

What is going on?

Oh, no.

DON'T FLIRT WITH MY KWANG-JIN

HOW DARE YOU SET YOUR EYES ON HIM?

DON'T FLIRT WITH MY KWANG-JIN!

BREAK UP

What do we do with this?

Ms. Park.

-Did they leave? -Yes.

We managed to make them leave.

Gosh, girls these days are scary.

Where's Ha-jin?

She went to the bathroom briefly.

No way.

Did she take her phone with her?

Geez, she posted something already.

She has a sickness!

She posted something again?

Darn.

No, I didn't play both sides.

That is definitely not true.

Yeo-min and Kwang-jin are both good people,

but I'm not seeing either of them.

Please don't misunderstand.

NEW POST

YEO HA-JIN, ACTRESS

LIKES

SHE'S SO PRETTY

WHY IS SHE POSTING THIS?

Hashtag "scandal." Hashtag "surprise."

Hashtag "we're just close friends."

Where are you going?

Oh, to the waiting room.

I heard that Chairman Oh arrived. Are you going somewhere?

What are you going to do today?

During the interview, will you mention the Hwarang fire incident?

Yes.

Don't laugh.

Geez.

You will be the death of me.

Come here.

Chairman Oh had

a breakfast meeting with the president this morning.

-He repeatedly asked for confirmation. -Right.

What are you going to do?

If the chief says I can't, then I can't do it.

Geez. Why, you…

I ought to… Seriously.

You're messing with me, aren't you?

Since when did you listen to me?

Hey.

-Hello, Mr. Hwang. -Hello.

One moment.

It would be better to speak to him later.

-Chairman Oh is getting ready right now. -Really?

Then I'll wait.

Okay.

By the way,

you seem… to change your eyeglasses often.

I'm a bit clumsy.

I keep breaking them.

Then did you get that injury on your face when you fell too?

First of all, congratulations.

You've won at the Oscars of the business world…

Camera one, move in a little.

You won the best of those awards,

which is for best entrepreneur.

How do you feel?

Rather than feeling happy,

I feel more burdened.

I view it as a reprimand to do better from now on.

What do you think an entrepreneurial spirit entails?

Well,

it may seem cliché,

but I think it's about trust and honesty.

What do you think?

Have you upheld those things?

I'm always trying,

and I don't think I've gone too far from it.

Yes, I see.

You had good news,

but there was also a bad accident, wasn't there?

Yes.

There was a fire in our department store.

The fire was started by a spark during a welding operation, right?

According to our research, we discovered a few issues.

I'm aware of them.

You are?

After the fire occurred, we conducted an internal investigation

to prevent it from happening again.

There were many issues.

I'm ashamed of it,

but I'd like to take this occasion to reveal the truth,

and I'd like to apologize to our customers and the people.

Oh, no.

Anchor Lee Jung-hoon who loves exposes

can't even say a word today.

Moreover, during the fire,

-What? -the sprinklers didn't work well.

We found out that it was a dangerous situation

that could have caused massive damage.

We promise that something like this

won't happen again by conducting regular inspections and trainings.

Once again, I'd like to apologize from the bottom of my heart.

That's a relief.

Well…

It's a relief in two aspects.

One is that we're reassured that it's safe to go to Hwarang Department Store,

and the other aspect is that we have more time

because you answered faster than I expected.

-My team hates me -What? Aren't they done?

because I always go overtime.

But I can comfortably ask you my questions today.

It's taken quite a long time for me to be able to ask you this question.

It's because you agreed to do this interview,

and more importantly, because of this person's courage.

These past three years, you have continuously used

abusive speech and physical assault on your chief secretary,

Mr. Hwang Seo-woon.

Do you admit it?

What are you talking about?

I don't know what you're talking about.

What the heck is he saying?

I don't think it's even worth answering.

Well…

August 12th, 2017,

sunken face and fractured rib.

February 3rd, 2018,

fractured knee and torn eardrum.

May 25th, 2018, bruising all over the body…

What's wrong with him?

and torn eardrum.

January 13th, 2019,

fractured rib and damaged tooth.

September 23rd, 2019,

fractured cheekbone and damaged eye.

These are the medical records of Chief Secretary Hwang Seo-woon.

Do you not remember?

Well,

what does that have to do with me?

Aren't you being rude to a guest you invited?

I visited you to cover a story about three years ago.

Of course you won't remember as I didn't get to see you.

You told Mr. Hwang these words back then.

"You vermin. Are your ears blocked?"

You vermin.

Are your ears blocked?

Hey, I told you not to hit the brake.

-I'm sorry. -I told you

not to hit the brake until we arrive, you jerk.

I'm sorry.

You'll only learn if you get beaten up more,

won't you?

You jerk.

There.

-Damn. -I'm sorry.

Hey, how dare you touch me.

Have you lost your mind?

Darn it.

Can you still not recall it?

Darn it. That was his plan from the start.

-I remember it clearly. -That jerk.

As you can't seem to remember,

you must have a bad memory.

The witnesses, including myself,

the medical records, and the dashcam footages.

There is plenty of evidence.

But you mentioned

trust and honesty earlier.

The trust has been broken already,

so I can give you another chance to be honest.

Let me ask you again, but I'll change the question.

Do you deny that you have used

abusive speech and physical assault

these past three years on your chief secretary,

Mr. Hwang Seo-woon?

What's wrong with Lee Jung-hoon?

I'm so sorry.

I'll take care of Chairman Oh.

I'm going to be his fan.

-Goodness. -Amazing.

Lee Jung-hoon is cool.

I knew he could do it.

I knew that guy was like that.

He's been caught red-handed now.

Wrap it up, Jung-hoon.

Wrap it up. Assistant director.

Hurry and wrap it up!

Wrap it up!

We're out of time,

so I'll have to hear your answer next time.

Thank you for joining us.

That was Hwarang's Chairman Oh Tae-kwon.

Start cutting.

LEE JUNG-HOON'S NEWS LIVE

Stand by for the closing, anchor.

Anchor!

I'm sure you were taken aback by this unexpected situation.

The discovery during this interview

will be explained to you by a follow-up report very soon.

This was Lee Jung-hoon's News Live.

Have a restful night.

"Have a restful night"? Darn.

MR. LEE DEUK-KYU OF HBN

It ended so suddenly.

I know it was a hard decision.

Thank you for your courage.

Now that it turned out this way,

I feel like I held back for nothing.

This might not be the end.

Chairman Oh will demand a settlement

by using all kinds of ways like conciliating or blackmailing.

I know.

And I'm prepared for it.

KIM JIN-TAE, HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER

He's a human rights lawyer I know.

He'll be able to give you help.

Thank you.

Are you going to watch me like a fool?

Help out.

TAE-EUN

-Are you done? -Yes.

Isn't this dress so pretty?

Yes, it's lovely.

It was hard for me to get it.

It's not wardrobe, you know.

You're getting splashed with water.

Oh, right.

I feel bad that today's the last shoot.

Why would you feel bad?

You got so much criticism because of this drama.

"A horrible adulteress. A witch who deserves to die."

I'm sure you'll live a long time.

Probably up to 200.

Chul, the others have a few more days to shoot, don't they?

Right, for about three episodes.

Then I should visit them once.

You'll come again to see Ko Yu-ra?

Haven't you had enough?

I hate even seeing her face.

Her face says she's the evil bitch.

She's totally been miscast.

You need to come out now.

-Okay. -Okay, I'll be right there.

-Come out when you're ready. -Okay.

Rather than these…

You changed earrings.

Yes. Aren't these better on me?

Yes. Check yourself.

What?

My gosh.

Didn't you have your outfit confirmed?

Why are we in the same outfit?

I know. I had it confirmed beforehand, so how did this happen?

Too bad.

You better get changed quickly.

Me?

If not, then should I get changed?

It's not that I don't want to,

but you have a muted skin tone, so that color doesn't suit you.

What are you talking about?

Jae-hee, do I look bad in this?

No, you look perfect.

It goes well with your skin tone.

I don't think so.

So, are you saying you won't get changed?

Must I get changed?

This is too much.

-Nasty. -On her last shoot?

-Every time. -Will they ever stop that?

Still?

-What is going on? -They're no joke.

What's wrong?

It's because of the outfits.

-This is too much. -Can't they take care of it?

I'll go get changed.

Sorry. I'll go get changed.

We already don't have enough time.

I just can't like her.

-Will they keep doing this? -Shouldn't we tell her?

-So mean. -Isn't it time to stop?

Even until the very end!

She changed her outfit.

Why did she tell you to change?

It's okay. I'm glad we brought several outfits.

I have a bad feeling about this.

You're splashing water on each other today, right?

Yes.

I should get changed into this.

I really have a bad feeling about this.

How much longer must I wait?

-So pretty. -It's way better.

-Amazing. -Much better.

You look good.

-That's way better. -Ha-jin.

You look way prettier in that.

Thank you.

You look amazing.

Sir. When will we start filming?

Oh, right.

Let's rehearse first.

We don't have to.

You know we have good teamwork.

We have no time, so let's just do it.

Are you okay with that?

That's fine.

Okay, let's start filming right away.

We'll begin filming.

Okay.

They put up reflectors only for her.

Stand by.

Ready, action.

Found you.

Be honest with me.

What did you say to him?

Of course,

I told him the truth.

That you and I

are not blood relatives.

That nothing stands in the way of our love.

To let everything go and come to me.

How…

How could you do this to me?

After all Mom did to raise you…

I told you not to bring her up to me.

I told you not to!

Why, that crazy…

Cut.

Ha-jin.

What was that? You broke the mood.

There's no slapping in the script.

What?

Didn't you discuss this beforehand?

Well,

didn't I tell you?

Gosh, I thought I did.

I've been so busy that I forgot.

Oh, dear. I'm sorry.

You must be surprised.

Is she out of her mind?

She does everything as she pleases.

She slapped you on purpose.

It's obvious. The director didn't know.

This is infuriating.

Don't be mad.

Kkot-nim has been so evil. She deserves a beating.

People might find it refreshing.

I guess I did a good job.

The ratings might go up.

Goodness gracious.

What did I do?

It's not that swollen, is it? Look.

For information to be stored in long-term memory,

it requires a process called long-term potentiation.

But this poses a problem in the sense that it only strengthens synapses.

By selectively deleting existing memories

and securing empty space,

it stops neural networks from going into a saturation state.

This suppression of long-term memory is oblivion.

People think

oblivion is simply a passive phenomenon of not being able to remember.

But actually,

it's an action taken by the brain

to secure enough space for memory.

Let's imagine then.

What if our brains couldn't forget anything as of this moment?

What if we remembered everything?

Our brains might explode.

SEOSUNG UNIVERSITY

It's something similar.

They'd go into a saturation state and have trouble storing new memory.

And in the rare case that it is handled functionally,

you aren't able to live a normal life.

Say you broke up with someone you love today.

You'd have an extremely hard time.

Tomorrow and the day after, it'd be the same.

But how would it be

after a year or ten years?

You might not even remember their face then,

thanks to your oblivion.

But if you can't forget about anything?

If it's so vivid even after ten years as if you broke up today?

So instead of complaining that your memory is failing,

be more grateful for not remembering.

I have a question, professor.

I read your thesis about hyperthymesia,

a condition in which you can recall all your memories.

I couldn't find any recent information about H,

whom you mentioned

as the first subject in the country diagnosed to have hyperthymesia.

He was 11 years old at that time.

He must be 36 now.

I'm curious how he is doing

and if there have been any changes in his symptoms.

Not sure.

Since I finished my thesis, we haven't been in touch.

I don't know much about how he's doing.

But his symptoms must be the same.

It's incurable.

Hello, Dad. What's up?

Why isn't Jung-hoon's test result out?

I'm going to take my time with that.

He's busy, too.

Why, you…

Send it to me by the end of the month.

You can quit if you're going to slack off.

He's still the same.

It's from Ms. Park.

She'll be late due to the traffic jam.

-Okay. -All right.

Did you read the interview questions I gave you last night?

Not yet. I was busy filming.

You don't have time. Read them quick. Peruse them.

Thorough preparation is the key to survive.

I've already done that.

How?

I've searched Mr. Lee Jung-hoon online. He's very popular.

His nickname is Gentle Tyrant.

He's gentle, but he suddenly criticizes people.

People think he's so cool.

Haven't you seen how intimidating he can be?

Politicians, businessmen, and top celebrities.

He cornered all those famous people.

Right, that bossy Ko Yu-ra couldn't even say a word to him.

Really?

Yu-ra has been on News Live?

You're not prepared for this.

Show us the video I was watching.

Hold on.

NEWS LIVE LEGENDARY CLIPS

JUNG-HOON READY TO BITE

Here you go.

You said you want to be a role model to everyone.

Could you please elaborate on that?

Well…

I wasn't expecting this, so my mind has gone blank.

Then I'll give you a few examples.

TEACH YOU A LESSON

Whenever you have a TV shoot,

you park in a disabled parking bay.

When you had a shoot abroad last year,

the flight got delayed because you were about an hour late.

Do such things make you a good role model?

SHE'S SMILING BUT CRYING INSIDE

Minister Blanco of Mexico

caused a 38-minute flight delay by being late,

so he voluntarily resigned.

Ms. Ko Yu-ra.

Have you formally apologized for the incident?

My gosh.

He's so cool.

Cool?

We watched the same video?

Yes.

I had no idea watching the news could be this fun.

I love how suspenseful it is.

In a few hours, you'll be the star of that suspenseful show.

How exciting!

Good for you!

Yes, it'll be fun.

I'm excited to meet him.

-Hello, Ms. Park. -Hey.

-What is that? -Relaxation pills.

You should all take one.

Gosh, why did you buy so many?

You shouldn't take too many at once.

I'm just so worried.

Why did you guys book News Live?

You booked it, ma'am.

Oh, right. I booked it.

I booked it because I wanted Ha-jin to look intelligent and elegant.

Ha-jin, you can do a good job, right?

Yes, of course. Don't you worry.

You should take one.

You've been on a few radio shows, but this is your first live TV show.

Will you be okay?

I am a little nervous, but…

I don't need those pills.

I have a better idea.

-Let's do this first. -Got it.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Have you eaten? -Hello.

What do you think? Anything else?

-I think we're good. -I think so, too.

-Then rest for a bit. -Okay.

-Did you bring it? -Yes.

But you can only have one sip.

If Ha-kyung and Ms. Park find out, they'll kill me.

Okay.

I've never gotten caught, so don't worry.

What's that? What are you guys doing?

What? This is just coffee.

He got one for you, too. Which one is mine?

The one on the left.

Aren't they the same thing?

This is Lee Jung-hoon.

Don't say you're not sure. Only answer his questions.

Anyway, don't say anything useless.

Come on in.

Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

My gosh, hello.

Nice to meet you.

I'd like to go over the interview questions with you.

You're more handsome in real life.

And you have a nice voice.

What? He is handsome.

It's not like I said something weird.

You don't think he's handsome?

We'll leave you two to it then.

-Please take good care of Ha-jin. -Of course.

Mr. Lee, you're handsome.

You're very handsome.

Thank you.

-Ha-kyung. -Ms. Park.

Ms. Park.

Is this really the best card we have?

Everyone gets bashed on this show, so she can make a fool of herself here.

But why do I feel like we're digging our own grave?

Yes, we are digging our own grave.

What do we do?

Gosh, why did I agree to this?

I must have been out of my mind.

Should we just back out?

No.

-That will make things even worse. -Yes.

The news will begin with the interview, at eleven o'clock on the dot.

You'll have about ten minutes.

Oh, I see.

I don't think

the list of potential questions will be that helpful.

That's great. I only skimmed through them.

I see.

Just relax and think that we're having a chat.

Okay, I will.

By the way, do you have a different necktie?

Pardon?

This doesn't complement your skin tone or your suit.

Oh, okay.

A necktie without a pattern would be better. Something lighter.

-Do you have a bright-colored one? -Oh, well…

I'll look.

Find something else. That one's no good.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Will do.

Mr. Lee, have some coffee.

Coffee…

Which one?

Here you go.

Great, thank you.

This is coffee?

It tastes like booze.

That one tastes like booze?

Then it's switched. That one's mine.

I guess I gave you the wrong one.

You were drinking alcohol right before a live show?

No.

I didn't drink it yet. You drank it.

It only has a little bit of alcohol.

Only a tiny amount.

Are you all right?

Jung-hoon!

What's she like? Is she prettier in person?

-She's a lot more… -What? She's that pretty?

-Crazier than I thought. -What?

What's this smell?

You drank alcohol?

Not a lot. Just a sip.

A third of it was coffee.

I'm not too sure, but I think it was whiskey.

What are you saying?

Who put whiskey in your coffee? Why?

It's a long story.

Anyway, the show will start soon. Will I be okay?

Hey.

A sip of whiskey is nothing.

Don't make such a fuss.

Just brush your teeth before you go.

Okay.

I don't trust you as a doctor, but you sure know a lot about alcohol.

However, alcohol isn't the only problem. I might get myself in trouble.

The woman I'm interviewing is more dangerous than alcohol.

Who? Are you talking about Yeo Ha-jin?

Mr. Lee. Hurry.

I should go, or I'll mess up big time. Bye.

All right. I hope all goes well.

Hello.

LEE JUNG-HOON'S NEWS LIVE

You're still wearing that.

Oh, right. I looked but couldn't find one.

That's a lie.

I saw many in your green room.

I found one for you.

This is perfect. Put this on.

Ha-jin looks great in red.

Come on. We don't have time.

What are they doing?

Do I have to do this now?

I told you. That one looks awful.

This one will brighten your face.

We'll begin in a minute.

Come on. We only have a minute.

Shall I do it for you?

No, no.

I'll do it myself.

Why is he putting on a different necktie?

Anchor, be on standby!

Ten seconds until opening.

Okay, here's the opening.

Start.

Anchor, be on standby!

It doesn't look as good as I expected.

Five!

To the anchor!

Hello, everyone.

This is Lee Jung-hoon's News Live.

We have a special guest today.

It's actress Yeo Ha-jin.

-Nice to meet you. -When will this be over?

-They just said greetings. -I've seen you a lot on TV.

This time, you're back with a movie.

The movie is called My First Love.

Yes, I'm the main character's first love.

You've mainly played villainess roles that are mean to the main characters.

You probably get this question a lot, but how was that experience?

Which role do you prefer?

A villainess, of course.

Although I liked my character in the movie, too.

To be honest,

I wouldn't call those characters mean or evil.

They don't put up a fake front.

They're honest about their feelings.

In that aspect, my character in the movie is like that as well.

She's very honest about her feelings.

This is my first time meeting you,

so I haven't spent much time with you,

but I think you're very honest yourself.

Yes, I am.

You're totally right about that.

I'm very honest, and I've been criticized for it.

That's her charm.

-You have 8,6 million followers. -She's cool.

-Do you like her? -I do.

-You're one of the ten celebrities… -I follow her.

-with the most followers. -You fool.

I'll get more followers after this.

I aim to break into the top five this year.

That wasn't necessary.

A supporter or devotee.

That's the definition of the word "follower."

It doesn't mean that all your followers are your supporters or devotees.

However, 8,6 million is a huge number,

and it shows how influential you are to the public.

Yes, I guess so.

Then I'd like to ask you a question.

It's a personal question,

so I should ask for your permission first.

If you say no,

I'll stick to the original questions.

Just stick to them. This isn't your personal talk show.

It's fine. Ask me whatever you want.

Thank you.

I checked out your social media page.

Based on your social media posts,

I gather that you're inconsistent and unpredictable.

Pardon me?

There he goes again.

-I'll give some examples. -Here he goes.

You'd praise a specific product or brand.

Then shortly after that,

you'd explicitly express your dissatisfaction with them.

You've done that many times.

Once, you expressed your support for a political party

and withdrew your support in just three months.

Then a week later,

you were back to being a supporter.

Was there a particular reason?

Yes, there was.

I see.

May I ask what it is?

I don't remember exactly what happened,

but I definitely had a reason.

You don't remember the reason although you're sure you had one.

-That's-- -Don't you think it's irresponsible

for an influential actress

to constantly change her values and beliefs

for reasons that she can't even remember?

That's…

Earlier, you said that you're honest.

Well, some might think

that you're irresponsible

and that you're deluding yourself into believing it's honesty.

That's not true.

Then maybe you're using your honesty as your shield.

I don't know.

I just…

When it comes to my feelings, I don't want to be complicated.

I don't want complicated reasons or calculations.

I just want to live simply,

only counting up to five or six.

I don't like complicated things.

I'll live simply, only counting up to five or six.

So I can only use one hand to count.

Come on.

It's my favorite saying,

so don't forget it.

I'll never forget it. Don't worry.

Why is he quiet?

What's wrong with him?

Hey, what are you doing?

Are you all right?

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee.

Hyperthymesia?

Remembering too much is an illness?

It's not that I remember a lot.

I just can't forget anything.

You mean you're dying?

Did your first love look like me?

Stay with me, Seo-yeon!

I'm sorry.

I can neither stop nor end this,

as if I'm locked inside that memory.

I love you.

I'll remember you forever.

Why did he look so sad?

What was he saying in that silence?

Jung Seo-yeon.

Do you know her?
