- You see... / - Go ahead.
- It's a true story. / - It's funny.
- He didn't make it up. / - Exactly.
The three of you should step up.
Even though we're different generations,
- we feel the same way. / - But things have changed.
Still, your fans must've expressed their affection.
I had a fan club too,
so I can relate to Woohyun's story.
I was famous for my singing ability.
Before I made my debut as a singer,
I was popular at karaoke.
Every karaoke star would have the same experience.
- Right. / - It happened to me too.
Whenever I sang, girls asked to hang with them.
- Really? / - Girls in the next room.
- My gosh. / - I see.
Honestly, when we were by ourselves, I sang...
♪ Mom, please let me do what I want ♪
- We just had fun / - Shin Seunghun's song.
while singing upbeat songs like that.
But when the girls joined us...
(As soon as the girls joined them...)
(You say that I am too naive)
- You sang solemn songs. / - We sang songs like this.
We suddenly started singing...
(They tried to look serious.)
We sang songs like this.
- We tried to look lonely. / - Right.
I was the most popular kid in Jayang-dong
and Guui-dong.
The star of Gwangjang-dong was Hong Kyungmin.
(Hong Kyungmin was Sungmo's rival.)
I kept him in check. "Hong Kyungmin"
- "is the best?" / - "He's a great singer."
"Then I should have a match against him."
- It's hard to believe. / - The word spread.
- I see. / - Fan clubs were formed.
And kids like me sang at the school festivals.
But we weren't celebrities back then.
So even if our fans liked us,
they were embarrassed to give us a gift.
30 to 40 girls asked me to see them at a cafe.
I asked why they wanted to see me.
"We all pitched in to buy this."
- "It's for you." / - She tried to be cool.
That must've been awkward.
- They were embarrassed / - They felt awkward.
- to give it to me. / - He wasn't a celebrity.
- I wasn't a celebrity. / - They were embarrassed.
- They liked me. / - They liked you,
- but they weren't crazy about you. / - Not that much.
- It was ambiguous. / - But they liked me.
They would've screamed if they'd liked him madly,
- but they didn't. / - Not that much.
"It's for you." So I received it.
Thinking about it now, it's hard to believe
that I was in 10th grade,
and most of my fans were in 11th or 12th grade.
(Older girls showed their affection a lot.)
When you're in school, people who are
a year or two older than you feel much older.
That's true.
However, even after I became a singer,
many of my fans were still older than me.
- That's interesting. / - If I think about it...
The fact that older women liked you
- is hard to believe. / - Looking at you three...
- What wouldn't be? / - I've always been
- the one with a crush. / - They can relate to it.
But you three can't seem to relate to the story.
- Everything is new to me. / - "What is he saying?"
It's really hard to believe.
- As a popular star... / - Yes?
Be completely honest with me.
Have you ever considered yourself to be handsome?
- No, I haven't. / - Tell me honestly.
- It's the truth. / - Is it?
- Yes. / - I'm relieved.
- He's objective. / - But he's so popular.
I'm objective about myself.
- I never thought that. / - The same goes for me.
- I never thought that. / - Of course.
It would be weird if we did.
- I never did. / - It would be weird.
- That'd be pathetic. / - Gosh.
- Pathetic? / - It's interesting.
Seunghyun, do you have an experience like that?
I made my debut when I was in high school.
- I bet he was so popular. / - It was a co-ed school.
One day, a girl in my class
brought a pencil case that she'd customized.
Back then, plastic underlay sheet
with a star's photo on it was popular among kids.
It was also popular to make a pencil case...
- With hardboard paper. / - That's right.
They covered it with photos
- of their favorite stars. / - Exactly.
Then they covered it with packing tapes.
Many of our writers are nodding.
- Hand-made pencil case. / - Right.
The popular stars were Yoo Seungjun, H.O.T,
Sechs Kies and many more. Kim Wonjun as well.
Sungmo and Jin were also popular.
What about Jaeseok?
- What about him? / - He wasn't one of them.
So...
There were photos of stars on her pencil case,
and I saw my photo
- in a corner. / - Right.
She must've liked you.
I said, "Hey. You put my photo on it."
She said, "What are you talking about?"
"Why didn't you tell me? You put my photo on it."
She said that there was an empty space,
so she used my photo unintentionally.
- A photo in a magazine? / - Yes.
- A photo in a magazine? / - In a magazine?
- She cut out his photo. / - He was active back then.
Exactly. She said she had no other photos.
She tried to hide her affection for me.
Seeing that Jin is rolling his eyes,
I think he's trying to recall his memory.
- Tell us how it was. / - Well, I wasn't so popular
- like them. / - Are you serious?
In high school, I was in the photography club.
When I exhibited my photos...
- Photography suits you. / - Exactly.
Girls from other schools came to the exhibition
and watched the talent show.
- They gave me flowers. / - Flowers.
Some girls gave chocolate.
But back then, I wasn't used to it.
A girl gave me a gift, and I was supposed to take it.
But I felt like I should date her if I took it.
He's so old-fashioned.
If you hold a girl's hand, you should marry her.
(If you hold her hand, you should marry her?)
Somehow, I felt...
- You have a responsibility. / - That's right.
I felt like I shouldn't give her my number.
- You'd have to call her. / - That's right.
I knew I should take it, but I just couldn't.
- While I was hesitating, / - It's a generation gap.
the girls threw the gifts on the floor and left.
They yelled, "This is ridiculous!"
- They must've been upset. / - But back then...
- They must've been upset. / - It wasn't my intention.
- You just had to take it. / - I couldn't take it
because I thought I should date her if I did.
- The girls thought / - They were disappointed.
that you were disrespectful of them.
- Right. / - It was around 1991.
- Very old-fashioned... / - It was a long time ago.
Nothing like that has ever happened to me.
- I can't relate to that. / - Didn't anyone confess
- her love in high school? / - What about Song Euni?
That was after I graduated from college.
- Did Euni ask you out? / - No, she didn't.
- When you were in school... / - She kissed him.
Didn't any girl follow you to give you a letter?
That never happened to me.
- She kissed him? / - Not even once.
Didn't anyone ask you out?
The only letter I received was a chain letter.
- You could die. / - Back then,
- chain letters... / - If you don't send it,
- If you don't send it... / - bad things happen.
"This letter began somewhere..."
- "In London". / - "It began in London."
"If you don't forward this to people around you..."
I'd been slapped by a girl two years older than me.
She told me to stop spreading a false rumor.
- At a cafe. / - To shut your mouth.
- "To shut your mouth". / - She slapped me so suddenly.
"You told him about me, right?" And I said yes.
She said, "You jerk" and slapped me.
Is that your memory of your school days?
- Yes. / - That's all we have.
We only have memories like this.
By the way, I've been hearing a weird rumor about Kang.
What kind of rumor is it?
When I was in school, I was shy, expressionless
- and quiet around girls. / - You were chic.
Some people wondered if I like men.
- That's possible. / - He looked indifferent.
- Looking indifferent... / - Right.
There was no such rumor in the past, right?
It wasn't even possible to think that way.
Since I'm still single,
- I heard that a lot. / - What did you hear?
- My goodness. / - I said, "Nonsense."
- "I like women so much." / - Really?
- "Don't say that." / - He was taken aback.
When we were waiting at the back,
I asked if he wanted me to set him up with someone,
he said yes right away.
- He likes women. / - So I said I'll do that.
I set Lee Chunsoo up with his wife.
- Really? / - I didn't know that.
Yes. I matched three couples last year.
Who are they?
- Well... / - Are you a matchmaker?
Then...
Do you have anyone in mind for Jin?
- For Jin? / - Yes.
- Really? / - He'll get married soon.
- Right. / - What kind of woman
do you think would be good for Jin?
A quiet woman or a cheerful woman?
Someone like Hyeongyeong would be great too.
I think so too.
As far as I know, they are acquainted.
- We met on a TV show. / - That's right.
- We were partners. / - On "X-Man".
- Really? / - We had a lot of fun.
I think you two won't see each other for a while.
Neither of them seems happy.
They don't look happy.
- We met after 10 years. / - Seunghyun said
he could find the right person, but I'm surprised.
- I was surprised too. / - He's a poor judge.
He's such a poor judge of character.
Their age gap isn't ideal.
I heard that Seunghyun bribed
- Saeho and Hyunmoo. / - Is that true?
- He did? What about us? / - He bribed us?
- Oh, that? / - Well...
- You didn't give us. / - Are we not important?
It's not like that. I'll give you later.
- "I'll give you." / - "I'll give you."
- It's not a bribe. / - What is it?
It's not a bribe. Since I'm a celebrity...
As you know, many celebrities run their own businesses.
I also run a health supplement company,
and I'm the director of public relations.
So I sent Hyunmoo a message on his social media site.
He'd sent me a message to cheer for me
when I was in a play. I was grateful.
When I got his message, I thought he was a con man.
He wrote, "I'm Kim Seunghyun."
But I wasn't acquainted with him at all.
Then it turned out to be him. I've been enjoying it.
Hyunmoo trusted me and replied to me.
So I sent him some of my products. Saeho
and I have known each other for a while.
So I sent him a message. He gladly helped me out.
Cabbage goes well with vinegar.
- Cabbage pickled / - It sounds delicious.
- in vinegar is good. / - It's delicious.
- Seunghyun works hard. / - Indeed.
We used to get cast for commercials and dramas
just because we did well in vaulting or high jump.
Our shows got 10 percent of viewer ratings.
Just as Sungmo said,
they got lots of offers for commercials back then.
- They were so popular... / - "Let's Go! Dream Team".
We were the initial members.
I remember that Sungmo was the king of vaulting,
but Seunghyun beat Sungmo.
He was the only one to beat me. We were the top two.
I actually saw Seunghyun at a pop-up store,
promoting and selling his products.
He lives his life to the fullest.
I believe he'll become successful.
You have no choice when you have a child.
I'm sure you all know what I mean.
Just as Sungmo said before,
he got offers for commercials so easily.
He was in so many commercials.
When I appeared on "Let's Go! Dream Team",
if I won the vaulting contest,
500,000 copies of my album were sold
- the next day. / - What's your best record?
- 2m 50cm. / - Back then,
the show got over 30 percent of ratings.
- That's incredible. / - These days,
- we can't get that much. / - It's impossible.
Seunghyun and I were on "Let's Go Dream Team" together.
One day, they decided vaulting was boring.
- We did ssireum instead. / - Ssireum.
We played against
- female high school ssireum athletes. / - Right.
We did it in Yeouido.
Right. I was there too.
(There was a big crowd.)
(Myungsoo 19 years ago)
(He was yelling even then.)
(Sungmo was impersonating a woodpecker.)
(Sungmo won.)
We were playing ssireum against women,
and 20,000 people came to watch us.
- I played ssireum too then. / - You were there too.
It took me two hours just to enter the venue.
(It took him two hours to enter the set.)
It took a very long time
to get through the crowd.
- It was for Sungmo. / - Sungmo was popular,
and so was "Let's Go Dream Team".
I remember this.
Jaeseok made an appearance once.
He was doing the long jump.
He landed with his jaw.
- It wasn't the long jump. / - No?
- He did the long jump. / - Right. The long jump.
He jumped and landed with his jaw.
Really?
(Sprinting)
(What?)
It was like he intended it.
He landed with his face.
I jumped and landed with my face.
(He landed with his face.)
There's a video. It still makes me laugh.
I've always wanted to ask him.
Was he pretending to be bad at sports to be funny
or was he really bad at sports at the time?
- I am curious. / - I was just bad.
(He was just bad.)
And he was... At the time,
he wasn't even funny. He was funny as the MC,
but he wasn't funny as a cast member.
He wasn't even asked questions.
The only time he received attention
was when he was doing the grasshopper dance.
- He kept doing the dance. / - He did it for 10 years.
I thought the grasshopper dance was his only talent.
Did he bungee-jump?
It remains as a great memory.
He had to bungee-jump
from a height of over 100m.
- It was 102m. / - It was 102m.
- It was over 100cm high. / - He has acrophobia.
It's amazing that he managed to jump.
We were bungee-jumping,
and the celebrities who couldn't do it
made their excuses and left early.
They couldn't do it.
Only the people willing to jump remained.
And he was there.
- He had a strong will. / - I didn't have work.
Thinking back,
I think all the people who jumped with me then
had a lot of free time.
Who were they?
Who jumped?
- Sangin? / - Sangin jumped.
- Sangin jumped. / - Sangin.
Namhyun jumped too.
- You remember them all. / - They had a lot of time.
We jumped. When we met again in Korea,
everyone went crazy. Nobody thought Jaeseok would jump.
He had acrophobia.
- I remember it. / - We knew him,
so we thought he wouldn't be able to.
My acrophobia is serious.
- How did you jump? / - I was worried.
I had to jump to be on TV.
Did you jump without hesitating?
Of course I hesitated.
I still remember the wind blowing from the valley
when I was on top of the platform.
I still remember it blowing in my ears.
It was winter.
And the valley was 104m deep.
- It was so deep. / - It was so deep.
In the far bottom,
there was a stream.
- That's crazy. / - The wind was like this.
(It kept blowing past him.)
It was hanging in between two cliffs.
That must've been so scary.
When I came back to Korea, the other guys called me
- I was terrified. / - and said Jaeseok had jumped.
"Really? No way. Did he really?"
Three, two, one.
(Jump)
(Jaeseok flies.)
("Magic Castle" is such a perfect song for this.)
(Jaeseok succeeded to bungee-jump.)
(He was interviewed right after the jump.)
(I was confident to do it.)
When you have confidence in anything...
When he came back after the bungee jump,
- his career bloomed. / - Really?
- Really? / - He became the MC.
Does your career bloom when you jump?
I don't know about that.
Times have changed.
- I have another memory. / - You should jump.
I also bungee-jumped in Taiwan.
They were going through a draught at the time.
It was during the draught.
- There were only rocks in the bottom. / - Oh, dear.
I couldn't jump first.
By the way, we are talking among ourselves.
I am sorry.
Let's stop there.
- They are memories. / - Right. Once we start,
we can't stop.
