Hello, everyone.
This is Shin Hyunjoon on Entertainment Weekly.
Hello, I'm Jeong Jiwon.
We had wonderful spring weather today.
It's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow but
the daily temperature range is huge.
- So be careful not to catch a cold. / - Right.
Is it because it's spring?
Jiwon, your outfit resembles spring.
It's spring so I thought we needed a flower.
I dressed to look like an elegant magnolia.
- Do I look like a flower? / - No.
Don't ask me such difficult questions.
You're so honest, Hyunjoon.
How about if I do this next week?
What if I come with a pink cherry blossom attached?
- Here? / - Yes.
Some people could get the wrong idea.
- No? / - Please don't do that.
Jiyeon is a prettier flower than I am.
She's prepared the first report for us.
Let's meet her now.
Don't say that.
I will now open the show.
I've prepared all the celebrity news from
the week. It's Entertainment Hot Click.
Film industry people have held a press conference
concerning the Busan International Film Festival.
I have that report for you
as well as the hottest news regarding
the "Descendants of the Sun"
syndrome that's taking Korea by storm.
Let's click Entertainment Hot Click right now.
Did you get some sleep?
You wouldn't let me sleep, Captain Yoo.
He's keeping many women awake these days.
The KBS drama "Descendants of the Sun"
is creating a huge syndrome.
Watch a movie with me.
The first episode went on air on February 24th.
Each episode continues to set new
viewer rating records.
The first episode's ratings were 14%.
This week, ratings surpassed 30%.
- Ratings continue to soar. / - You shocked me!
The scene which has recorded the highest ratings
was the ending of the 10th episode,
where Jin Goo and Kim Jiwon embraced.
Yoon Myeongju is infected by a virus and
Sergeant Suh Daeyeong feels upset.
Ratings recorded 39% in metropolitan areas.
This minute recorded the highest ratings.
Viewers said that they wanted
the drama to air every night.
The day it airs is even called Descendant Day.
It continues to receive a huge response.
There's even a behavior guideline for men
whose wives become furious when they're
spoken to while "Descendants of the Sun" is on-air.
This shows how popular the drama is.
Statistics have been released to support
viewer responses such as these.
The soundtrack!
The soundtrack for "Descendants of the Sun"
has taken over the music charts
It's created a spark in the Korean Wave
which had remained stagnant for some time.
For the first time in 3 years, export prices to Japan
surpassed $100,000 per episode.
The set where the Taebaek base was filmed
is looking into being reconstructed into a tourist site.
We could experience a second Korean Wave.
With the drama receiving so much attention,
some organizations have infringed copyrights
by using the drama contents
including actor images
without permission, to make profits.
The production company stated that
they would take strong legal action.
How much added value can a drama create?
Will a second Korean Wave occur?
We look forward to seeing what new records
will be set by "Descendants of the Sun."
("Descendants of the Sun" continues to set records)
Theaters dedicated to director Im Gwontaek and
actor An Seonggi have opened.
As part of a project to celebrate those film persons
who have enhanced the Korean film industry,
special theaters dedicated to Im Gwontaek and
An Seonggi have opened in Seomyeon, Busan
and Sinsa-***, Seoul.
It's the first time in Korea that theaters have been
dedicated to a director or actor.
This dedicatory theater
is a theater that plays independent films.
I hope it will provide strength for
those independent filmmakers
who have a passion for creativity.
I hope this will play a huge role in
advancing Korean films.
Many film people attended
the opening ceremony.
He's my eternal teacher.
I'm really happy. Now, we can meet
director Im Gwontaek
in the theater forever.
They're the first in Korea
to open a dedicatory theater.
That's really inspiring for me.
I feel very pleased.
a total of 102 films.
He debuted in 1957, has starred in around 130 films.
An Seonggi has been loved for
over 50 years as a national actor.
An exhibition which displays how these two men
have devoted their lives to improve Korean films
as well as their films will be screened
in these theaters.
Some of the profits accrued will
be donated to independent Korean films.
Come often, support Korean films.
I hope you'll be able to experience
the history of Korean films and
the works of these two men.
We hope these dedicatory theaters will provide
a foundation for progress in the Korean film industry.
Just as films belong to the audience.
the Busan Film Festival
does not belong to the city of Busan.
The emergency planning committee working
to protect the Busan International Film Festival
has held a press conference.
Nine film organizations including
the Korean Film Production Association held
a press conference on March 20th.
They represented film industry workers who asked
for the Busan Film Festival's independence.
The conflict regarding the Busan International Film
Festival began in 2014 with the film
"The Truth Shall Not Sink with Sewol,"
which is based on the Sewol disaster.
Busan city requested the screening to be cancelled.
However, the festival continued screening it and
this deepened the conflict regarding
the autonomy of the film festival.
In relation to this, the director of
the Busan International Film Festival
was dismissed in February.
This deepened the controversy
which seemed to have no resolution.
The emergency planning committee
spoke up about this.
We ask that the injunction on duty execution placed
on the 68 members of the advisory committee be
withdrawn. We ask the city to admit their mistake
in dismissing the festival director and
damage caused to the festival.
They said they would boycott
the festival to show their protest.
If Busan city continues to deny
the autonomy of the film festival,
film people will refuse to attend
this year's Busan International Film Festival.
Busan city is yet to give any response
regarding their statement.
We'll keep you updated on
the latest news about the film festival.
We bring you the best of the celebrity news
from the week with Star and Issue.
With the warm weather comes the warm news
of Lee Yeongae's goodwill.
In January, Lee Yeongae donated
approximately $40,000 towards
a Vietnamese child who couldn't pay for
the costs of a brain tumor surgery.
The little boy who received her help received
surgery and the tumor was completely removed.
To show their gratitude, his family sent
Lee Yeongae a drawing.
In 2014, she also donated approximately
$100,000 to a Taiwanese couple whose
child needed surgery.
Lee Yeongae is so kind.
Tang Wei has revealed her pregnant belly.
Tang Wei married director Kim Taeyong in 2014.
In February, two years into their marriage,
they announced that they would become parents.
Many fans congratulated them.
This time, Tang Wei revealed a photo of
her pregnant belly on her SNS.
Her former slender waist
is no longer visible.
Her belly shows slightly but she's still beautiful.
We look forward to seeing a healthy baby.
She's going to join the club of married women!
Kahi's wedding is coming up.
Her partner is an entrepreneur, two years older.
Kahi left a message on her SNS and
revealed photos of their wedding party.
Her partner gave her a surfboard and said
he looked forward to surfing through life together.
They became close through extreme sports.
Their wedding will be held in Hawaii on March 26th.
They will also enjoy their honeymoon there.
Kahi, congratulations on your wedding.
Oh Seunghyeon also became a March bride.
On March 23rd, Oh Seunghyeon got married
in a Catholic church in Gyeonggi-do.
Her partner is a year younger, has a specialized job.
He's known to be smart and handsome.
Oh Seunghyeon has wed after dating for three years.
We hope you'll be happy!
Kahi, Oh Seunghyeon, congratulations.
Tang Wei's becoming a mom. Congratulations.
Hyunjoon, I want to congratulate you in advance.
You're going to become a dad soon.
Thank you.
I know...
You seem really excited.
When is the baby due?
Early April. I'll become a dad in early April.
You must be really excited.
Thank you.
I hope we'll be able to meet
a pretty baby who looks just like you
on Entertainment Weekly.
Let's move on to the next reports.
Jisook and Chunghyeon have prepared them.
I think K-beauty is becoming more popular
because of this celebrity.
This celebrity has gained attention
with their striking eye makeup.
Is it an actress? No.
It's Gil Taemi, played by Park Hyukkwon.
He's hot, just like his striking eye makeup.
We'll meet Park Hyukkwon on Hot People
in just a few moments.
Park Shinyang, Kang Sora,
Ryu Suyoung and Park Solmi.
You'll be able to meet them
as of Monday, March 28th on KBS.
They're the four leading actors of
the new KBS drama, "My Lawyer, Mr. Joe."
Entertainment Weekly met them in advance.
Also, we haven't seen this face for a long time.
Comedian Lee Sugeun's back with a new show.
I conducted an honest interview with him.
Let's meet him now.
With me being back on a major public network...
Not everyone approves of that.
I feel a lot of pressure.
- I feel a sense of responsibility. / - That's why earlier.
The ladies were so happy to see you.
How does it feel to see him in person?
Despite a long break,
the public recognized him
and gave him a warm welcome.
I love you.
- You've waited a long time. / - I'm glad you're back.
- You can do it! / - Thank you.
That's why I feel more pressured.
I received so much love through
"2 Days and 1 Night."
Also, my image was the national worker.
I had a really model image.
I think many people felt betrayed by what I did.
When I meet elderly women these days...
When they met me in the past,
they'd hug me like this but now...
(A little slap of reprimand)
You know what I mean, right?
Goodness. They slap me on the back.
They do it silently.
- Many people do that. / - To warn you.
Okay then.
Let's talk about your program.
It's called "Local Star on Korea TV."
Sugeun is back as the host of a new variety show.
I'm looking forward to it already.
I meet people who made the preliminaries...
- Of "Korea Sings." / - And?
I go into their lives.
I speak to them.
I see how they live.
It's humane and very warm.
It's linked to "Korea Sings."
I feel a lot of pressure because of that.
I don't want to damage that national program.
This thought occurred to me.
Is it part of your plan to take
Song Hae's position in the future?
Am I right?
If you keep that up, my body will turn this color.
It will turn red like this.
Actually, "Korea Sings..."
- That... / - Look this way.
We're filming an interview at the moment.
- She entered so naturally. / - We're filming.
How could you just step in?
Thank you. Be healthy.
Naughty hand! Slap your naughty hand!
He hasn't lost his touch for comedy.
Another back slap!
You always had a partner
when you hosted programs.
This time, you're alone.
- I think you'd be good at it. / - For sure.
Ma'am, hello!
I'm good at this kind of thing.
Your voice tone's a little thick...
(He tunes his voice)
You remind me of Hyunmoo.
Hyunmoo was like you in the past.
Variety shows remember you.
They ask for you. Why do you think that's the case?
Firstly, I'm entertaining.
- I'm sorry to say this... / - You have no shame.
I make people laugh.
We decided to try some spontaneous comedy.
Can you see anything worth using?
He sells these goods.
We shouldn't use his items for comedy.
- It's okay. / - He said it's okay.
- He said it's okay. / - I'm not ready.
I'm not ready yet.
I made the first attempt.
- Let me try something. / - Okay.
Kidding me are you?
How about this?
You want to get into comedy.
I'm sorry. It's real gold.
I'm really sorry.
How much is this? You said $860 last time.
- $850. / - $850.
He gave us a celebrity discount of $10.
It's worth $850.
What would you like?
You popped out as though you expected us.
How does it feel seeing Sugeun again?
Live a good, honest life.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
You can scold me if you want to.
No. Just live a good, honest life.
I will be honest, sincere.
I will live an honest life.
I won't disappoint you again.
I'll do my best.
Please keep your eyes on me. Thank you.
I'll support you too.
Please love Lee Sugeun!
Thank you.
I don't deserve applause.
His new show's called "Local Star on Korea TV."
Everyone, be happy and please love him.
- Thank you. / - Sorry but who are you talking to?
We look forward to seeing Lee Sugeun on television.
I look forward to seeing you, Sugeun.
(A day in March at KBS)
This man stands out even from behind.
This actor is so hot right now.
He came to KBS but
it wasn't easy for him to go inside.
That's because I was waiting for him.
Wait a minute!
Park Hyukkwon.
I'm going to examine you to see if
you're a hot person or not.
- You have broad shoulders. / - You frisked him.
- I'm detailed, aren't I? / - Oh?
Your watch looks expensive.
It's not expensive but it's waterproof.
Waterproof...
Welcome to the Hot People zone.
Thank you.
He's today's star on Hot People!
I attempted a special interview with Park Hyukkwon.
Our interview location was
closely related to Park Hyukkwon.
I heard that this location holds
special meaning for you. That's why I came here.
Where are we?
This is the KBS entertainment department.
I ruled this place once.
He came to work here last year.
"THE Producers!"
I'm Kim Taeho of the entertainment department.
Chief producer, Kim Taeho.
I heard someone at MBC has a similar name.
He's quite talented too.
- Chief producers don't walk like this. / - Right.
Can you walk like a chief producer for me?
I look around like this.
I interrupt people.
I hope the entertainment department employees
weren't shocked to see Park Hyukkwon.
This is the executive director's office.
I've never even touched the door handle.
- Really? / - I've never been inside.
I totally ruled this place.
Come inside.
- Goodness. / - Like this...
Goodness.
Who did we find in the office?
Announcer Seo Gicheol.
He played the executive director in "THE Producers."
- When I did "Super Sunday..." / - You were good.
Executive director.
Na Yeongseok was quite good.
Can't we bring him back?
Should I call you Taemi now?
Why did you go to another channel?
You know...
How does it feel seeing him again?
When we were in "THE Producers,"
he was my acting coach at the shoot.
He thought highly of Hyukkwon.
You two really suit each other.
He's like my little brother.
He's been chosen to be on Hot People.
He's always been hot.
He's received official recognition now
that people have acknowledged his roles.
That's why I prepared this.
I decided to investigate if he's really hot.
This is so entertaining.
Has your income increased
in comparison to the previous year?
- I was serious. / - You're scary.
It increased.
Have you received more ad offers?
Have you received more blind date offers?
That's unfortunate.
That hasn't changed.
The word "popular" is used to describe you.
Do you acknowledge that?
My agency released that in a press kit.
- I don't think it's trustworthy. / - Really?
It was planned?
Do you feel that your popularity has increased?
Friends who I'd lost touch with
called me to congratulate me.
You must've felt pleased.
But they keep asking for photos.
You don't trust me?
He wears bold makeup and
his acting is even more powerful.
I'm Gil Taemi.
I thought a lot of people would curse me.
I couldn't get my head around the character.
I went through a lot of trouble in the beginning.
We filmed many scenes again.
I heard you were asked to be in a cosmetics ad.
It was for colored makeup.
I had to turn them down.
Why? That's huge!
They wanted to put my character
in a television commercial.
I don't know if that's right.
This monk's a con artist.
Park Hyukkwon even shaved his head for this role.
This suits him too, doesn't it?
You shaved your head.
It must've been a hard decision.
My casting wasn't entirely confirmed.
I sensed that and came with my head shaved.
I wanted them to feel pressured.
"I shaved my head. What are you going to do?"
That created a negative response.
It was a twist.
I shouldn't have done that.
Luckily, they decided to cast you.
Changjung supported me.
I heard that Changjung
was present at your audition.
I read the script and also made up my own lines.
Someone sitting behind the judges laughed.
He wanted to do the film together
and also wanted me to join his agency.
He must've been really fond of you.
I think he felt that way at the time.
How about now?
He doesn't like me as much as he used to.
I heard you have a phobia of selfies.
There weren't many photos of me
from when I was a child.
I guess I don't really like taking photos.
Take one with me.
Let's try to get rid of your phobia.
I take photos if I'm asked to.
I can even shoot a video with this.
You two look like you're on a blind date.
- Say hello. / - Isn't he cute?
Hello.
He's a rabbit.
Hop!
Is there anything that
you've wanted to tell people?
The first lane is for overtaking.
You're supposed to drive in the second lane,
then use it to overtake.
Many people don't know that. Tell them.
- The first lane is for overtaking. / - He wanted to say it.
Same here.
Anything to say about yourself?
Not really.
He only spoke about the first lane.
The first lane is for overtaking.
Okay.
I won't become lazy.
I'll continue to work hard. Thank you.
- Thank you. / - I'm sorry.
Park Hyukkwon's going to continue being hot.
- See you again next time. / - Good luck!
This drama goes on-air next week.
I met the four leading actors of
"My Lawyer, Mr. Joe."
It's Park Shinyang's first drama in five years.
This law drama is about Jo Deulho,
a lawyer who works for ordinary people.
Let's see it!
What does the name Jo Deulho mean?
It refers to a tiger on a field. It's impressive.
- I'm Jo Chunghyeon. / - Really?
We have the same last name.
I'm Changnyeong Jo. How about you?
I don't know.
I support Deulho.
I work hard.
I'm Kang Sora. I play lawyer Lee Eunjo.
I see.
I play prosecutor Shin Jiuk.
I fight with Jo Deulho. In each case,
I create many episodes.
I'm Jo Deulho's ex-wife.
In the legal world...
I'm part of the royal family.
Why did you leave such a beautiful woman?
Why did Jo Deulho do that?
Is it because you're a tiger on the field?
Was it so I could live on the field?
I should live at home.
I love his jokes.
His jokes are quite silly but
his colleagues responded well.
That's nice.
You crack silly jokes.
I saw the trailer.
Shinyang, it's as though you play two roles.
This is Park Shinyang as a homeless person.
It's so realistic.
It was when Jo Deulho fell to rock bottom.
That's when he meets Sora.
For Jo Deulho,
it's a moment that he will never forget.
I'm sorry to say that, Solmi.
If you two play out a romance, isn't that adultery?
They seemed to have a grudge against each other.
Do you feel uncomfortable? You keep sweating.
Is it because Solmi is next to you?
You have a child. You should return to me!
She attacked him again.
Your life's so hard.
- I know. I have so much work too. / - That's right.
Solmi, it's your first drama in four years.
Yes, four years.
What have you been up to?
Oh...
I got pregnant, gave birth, got pregnant, gave birth.
- For four years. / - Four years...
I spent four years like that.
She's been busy during her time away.
She's the mother of two children.
I love your hairstyle.
Bobs imply a lot of things.
When actresses cut their hair in a bob,
they have to think hard about it.
I trust Shinyang.
When Solmi looks at me,
I can tell she supports me.
I can tell that she trusts me.
- She gives me a lot of strength. / - Really?
He makes me think a lot.
It's strange.
He has this really special kind of energy.
- So... / - Sir...
Is she talking about me?
He holds a lot of meaning in my life.
Even after this drama ends,
I think I'll remain grateful and
remember him for a very long time.
They're so supportive of each other.
- Wow. / - I'm glad I asked her to speak.
I watched the teaser.
Shinyang and Suyoung...
Your dance...
Here's the video.
I thought they were testing each other out.
They suddenly broke out into a dance.
This legal drama breaks all conventions.
Even the teaser was quite shocking.
You were speaking then suddenly...
You began dancing after Shinyang did this.
Suyoung did a great wave.
He responded well.
Nice. Thanks for receiving that.
It's smooth.
I then asked Shinyang to join in.
(Comedy is really difficult for me)
It was too much for Shinyang.
Shinyang, you studied in Russia.
Sora's really good at Russian too.
Can you say something in Russian
to Shinyang right now?
What did she say?
- She said I'm beautiful. / - Really?
I thanked her.
I know something in Russian.
He just said that.
You're so silly.
Why does it sound so different to what I said?
You're precise.
He just said that?
Let's listen to it again.
It doesn't sound like the same expression.
You speak a dialect.
- From a rural area. / - A rural area.
Sora, you were on Guerrilla Date recently.
You worked hard to promote
"My Lawyer, Mr. Joe."
Can you feel the effects of your PR?
A lot of it was edited out.
Why don't you promote the drama now then?
In just a few days, in Korea
at 10 p.m., "My Lawyer, Mr. Joe"
goes on-air at last! Make sure you watch it.
Don't edit this out.
You're good.
- That was great. / - We didn't edit it out.
Then...
Let's wrap up here.
We decided to wrap up as Shinyang suggested.
"My Lawyer, Mr. Joe" goes on-air March 28th.
We look forward to it!
"My Lawyer, Mr. Joe" airs Monday, Tuesday nights.
We look forward to it.
I was really happy to see Lee Sugeun again.
He went through a large ordeal, I hope he provides...
- Us with bigger laughs and comfort. / - That's right.
Saengmin and Taejin have the next reports.
I'm going to present first.
This series is really popular the moment.
It's Entertainment Weekly's special series,
drama theme songs loved by Koreans.
We're going to count down from rank 30 today.
It's going to be a great trip down memory lane.
It's fun. Join me in a few moments.
I'm sorry but I think my report's more entertaining.
That's because...
Jin Goo is starring on Guerrilla Date!
Jin Goo!
Don't feel jealous!
You'll be able to find out all about
Sergeant Suh Daeyeong in a few moments.
Before that,
following up from last week,
trivia from the celebrity world.
I'm going to deliver more hidden stories
from "Descendants from the Sun."
Today, for the next 10 and a half minutes,
you will be engrossed in "Descendants of the Sun."
Let's begin right now.
Trivia from the celebrity world.
If you miss this, you'll be sure to regret it.
I really miss her.
Whatever I do,
I keep thinking of her.
I really did keep thinking about it.
Last week, trivia from "Descendants of the Sun"
received a huge response.
Everyone went crazy.
Whatever you imagine, you'll see more than that.
Goodness.
That's why we've prepared more!
Trivia from "Descendants of the Sun."
- It's part 2. Look forward to it. / - I want to see this!
I think I just confessed.
Should I apologize?
You don't know how I'll accept your apology.
You don't know how I'll accept your apology.
Were you glued to the television again this week?
This couple couldn't keep their lips apart.
The romance kicked in
and the ratings surpassed 30%.
The syndrome continues in Korea too.
Major scenes are being made into parodies.
First, the wine kiss.
The wine kiss has been made
into a children's version.
You must be dying to eat it.
Who is this?
I'm sure there's a way.
Seoeon is as romantic
as tough guy Song Joongki.
I feel excited seeing them do this.
"Descendants of the Udon."
There's more!
This is a famous scene. Song Hyegyo ran
as fast as she could in this scene.
- Why? / - How was it parodied?
Netizens edited it like this.
Run if you want to! Runner of the sun, Song Hyegyo.
Joongki, do you like this?
Runner of the sun?
Why do you keep appealing yourself to me?
I've already fallen for you.
I wonder if she saw this.
Joongki scribbled on a stone at the shoot.
It's not Joongki loves Hyegyo.
He wrote Joongki loves Kwangsoo.
Because of the name written on this stone,
Dr. Kang's face got longer,
her nostrils got larger.
Dr. Kang transformed into a giraffe.
Who on earth made this?
So let's not...
Let's not talk about that.
You've been waiting for a long time! Let's get into
the trivia of "Descendants of the Sun."
This is when I feel the most excited.
This is the most exciting moment of my life.
We feel excited every time we see Song Joongki.
However, there are some other men in this drama
that women are falling in love with.
Who are the three men that draw attention in
"Descendants of the Sun?"
I've prepared this report for you.
First, we felt curious the moment we saw him.
He has a handsome face.
He speaks perfect English too.
- What? / - I'm half Korean. I have poor pronunciation.
You'll find my speech a little funny.
If it's funny, just laugh.
We'll forgive you because you're handsome.
The only thing I can't fix...
Are women's hearts.
Do you know who this is?
He comes from a family of entertainers.
He's the son of singer Jo Hamun
and nephew of Choi Sujong. He's Jo Taekwan.
They look alike, right? He starred on
an audition program in 2014 and
spoke up about his family.
There's another actor from the same audition show.
Who is it?
Where's your hometown?
Goryeo.
Choi Sujong founded it, Yu Donggeun destroyed it.
People of Goryeo are still alive?
Private Kim evoked maternal instincts.
His name is Kim Minseok. He gained attention for
his looks when he starred on the audition program.
We discovered an interview sheet that
he'd composed after making his debut.
What does soldier mean to you?
He wrote that it would happen to him soon.
Was he able to foresee this?
I'm sure he'll make a good soldier in real life too.
Now, the final face.
Do you recognize him?
Captain...
Agus?
Captain Agus.
He's really scary. He's mean.
He was Captain Yoo's colleague
then returned as a powerful enemy.
Captain Agus is an attractive villain.
He's so charismatic.
In fact, he played the killer who
killed Lee Byunghun in "IRIS."
His name is David McInnis.
He played a handsome model in
"A Moment to Remember."
This film was from 12 years ago.
He debuted in 1998.
He has more acting experience than
Daniel Henney or Dennis O.
Don't you dare mess with him.
- You'll get yourself into trouble. / - Got it?
Let's explore another couple in the drama,
Jin Goo and Kim Jiwon.
Here's the truth about this couple's hangout.
Where's their date location?
Here's a clue.
I told you I'm not marrying Captain Shin Hyunjoon.
I said I'm not marrying him.
Don't make me do this kind of thing.
This is elder abuse.
What I said was that
I'm dating first lieutenant Yun Jiyeon as promised.
That's all.
So why does the entire base think
that you and I are going out?
It's because...
- I'm so handsome. / - I'm sorry.
I had to do it.
I'm really sorry.
I'm not boring.
This location brought them together.
We went to the location where
they often enjoyed dates.
It's a traditional pub in Sangsu.
This table is now a VIP table.
This pub was already famous among celebrities.
We noted something different to the drama.
Do you remember this cherry blossom tree scene?
It's actually a ginkgo tree in real life.
The cherry blossom tree was computer graphics.
The tree location is a little different.
- Amazing. / - Talk about great technology.
Anyway, you couldn't tell.
Doesn't it make the scene more romantic?
I don't want to.
Ladies, pay attention.
Song Hyegyo appears in front of the soldiers.
Ladies, pay attention.
She always receives the spotlight.
That's why it's no surprise
that everything Song Hyegyo wears
is being sold out internationally.
There was even a online post which said buying this
won't make you look like Song Hyegyo.
Is it because I'm pretty on the inside?
That's so true.
Let's try saying this together.
I say how, you say much.
How much?
This outfit completed Song Hyegyo's beauty.
It's really beautiful. The skirt's attached to the top.
It's from V brand and costs over $1,000.
- She looks beautiful. / - Is it attached?
This scarf appears in the scene where they reunite.
This scarf blows gently in the wind.
It's from R brand and costs around $20.
Is it unisex?
I want to wear it too.
Next, this dress looks like a doctor's gown.
Many people inquired into this dress.
It was sold on an online shopping mall.
It costs around $40. She looks like an angel.
If you wear it wrong, you'll look like a warrior.
What I'm about to tell you...
It's top security.
You tried to hide it but we found it!
We discovered some more mistakes this week.
This was good.
We revealed the truth behind this uniform last week.
Remember the blood type printed on the left arm?
Captain Yoo was definitely A.
But!
I found this while watching a re-run.
His dog tag says his blood type is O.
- On his dog tag! / - Does his blood change?
From A to O.
What is Captain Sijin's real blood type?
Here's the second mistake.
Let's take a look.
Don't move.
You've stepped on a mine.
What? A mine?
I'll step on it for you.
Don't be ridiculous. What are you saying?
Hurry up!
It's a typical scene. They fall over by accident
and accidentally make physical contact.
Did you spot it?
What?
Did you see it?
Let's rewind and take a second look.
I kept watching. I didn't notice.
Hurry up!
- They fall over together. / - Yes.
Take a look.
Song Joongki puts his hand behind his head.
The angle changes. Why is his hand here?
When did he arm come down?
All men are the same.
In the next shot, his hand's behind his head.
His hand is really swift.
It was all a lie! A lie!
Here's the third mistake.
You look fine.
Take a look.
You're the best.
There's a mistake in this scene.
Continue watching the next scene first.
It stings.
He's brought in on a stretcher and treated.
Here's the mistake.
See this huge wound?
He was brought in because of this wound.
In the previous scene, the arm that should
be wounded is clean. When did he get hurt?
Maybe he got hurt while returning.
Here's the last mistake. It's the wine kiss scene.
It was the ending for the fourth episode.
Was there a mistake in this scene?
This scene also opened the fifth episode.
The ending of the fourth episode was
also the beginning of the fifth episode.
It's the same scene.
Let's watch it again.
Look. It's the ending scene for the fourth episode.
He wraps his arm around her neck to kiss her.
In the fourth episode,
he embraced her roughly.
In the fifth episode,
he takes her chin gently.
He didn't embrace her neck.
They must've actually kissed twice!
- I'm so jealous. / - They kissed twice.
Is there anything else that you want to know?
No, that's enough.
That's all for this week's trivia.
Look forward to more
celebrity trivia next week.
I love this.
I regretted all the times
that I ran from you.
You won't regret this.
From a sweet romance...
- Get up on the count of three. / -Three!
To a handsome bromance.
Sergeant Suh appeals to both men and women.
He's attacking our hearts these days.
In fact, our heart could melt.
- Jin Goo! At last! / - Everyone!
Three seconds of screams for
Sergeant Suh Daeyeong.
A huge crowd gathered.
Welcome.
There are so many people here.
This is your first time on Guerrilla Date, right?
Yes. It's my first time.
You've had an active career but
you've never been on Guerrilla Date.
I wasn't invited.
Actually, Entertainment Weekly...
- I stopped watching it. / - Why?
Because of Guerrilla Date.
I mean it.
"What am I doing?"
I felt really ashamed of myself.
Thank you for inviting me.
I feel really happy.
You're a married man. Why are you so popular?
Are you watching this, wife?
I've only realized my popularity today.
I didn't get the chance to make eye contact
or to hear the fans scream before today.
People told me that I was really popular.
- It's crazy. / - Yes, it's crazy.
Filming was already completed.
Is the cast also watching the drama these days?
Yes. Joongki actually...
After the fourth episode ended...
There's a scene where I embrace Jiwon.
He was drinking with Kwangsoo when he watched it.
Kwangsoo was impressed so Joongki called me.
The entire cast is watching it.
- The cast. / - We began our date.
We met the public.
Everyone's shocked.
- Oh, my goodness. / - A male fan.
He was a huge fan.
Calm down. Come to the middle.
We didn't expect a male fan...
He suddenly lifted Jin Goo.
Jin Goo is so popular.
He's so hot right now.
Don't get too excited.
You didn't set this up, right?
Why did you lift him in the air?
He's so lovable. I couldn't help myself.
I couldn't control my excitement.
Men are in love with Song Hyegyo right now.
It's not love for a woman, more like agape.
Agape.
Do you have any personal talents?
Please get ready. Let's go.
Agape.
He's quite good.
Is he proposing to Jin Goo?
- Jin Goo's married. / - He's in love with Jin Goo.
He's married.
Clap!
Hello. Scream!
Who's the most handsome man in Korea?
Jin Goo!
Who do you love the most?
Jin Goo!
Who's the man that you most want to marry?
Jin Goo!
She replied Jin Goo for everything.
Don't feel nervous. Make eye contact with him.
- Goodness. / - 3 seconds.
Come close. 3 seconds. Don't feel nervous.
1, 2, 3.
It's hard to even last a second
when facing him in person.
This isn't a dream.
What grade are you in?
- Twelfth grade. / - Twelfth grade.
Are twelfth grade students in love with
"Descendants of the Sun" too?
I watched it yesterday.
You watched it yesterday?
What's attractive about Jin Goo in this drama?
This.
Do you want him to salute to you?
What's your name?
- Kim Gongyeon. / - For Kim Gongyeon.
Jin Goo, make an exclusive salute.
I salute to Kim Gongyeon.
- Salute. / - He's so charismatic.
What a lovely salute.
Even I think he's handsome.
He's so handsome.
Wow.
Jin Goo continued to serve his fans.
He did whatever his fans asked.
He's a manly man.
- Nice. / - He's so handsome.
2, 3.
Can he carry me like a princess?
Really? A princess hug?
This is the most difficult thing a fan has asked for.
Watch out for your phone.
Everyone, give Jin Goo a round of applause.
He took up the challenge.
Jin Goo's challenge.
He's a real man.
He did it easily.
He even spun around.
Who wouldn't fall in love with this guy?
- All of a sudden... / - He's great.
Do that for me too!
You're so cute.
Why are you crying?
- I'm so happy. / - You're so happy?
What year were you born in?
2000.
She cried so hard that I couldn't interview her.
How do you feel?
I entered the army in 2000.
He's so handsome.
Why are you crying? Don't cry.
He'll give you a hug. Don't cry.
She went home in tears.
She left in tears.
Don't cry.
Thank you so much.
Who can sing him a serenade?
This is Navagio Beach, everyone.
Yoon Myeongju sings to Suh Daeyeong.
Stand by, action!
Sing back, sing back, sing back.
Is he going to sing to his fan?
(Heart attack)
(We won't forget you, Sergeant Suh)
She won't be able to sleep at night.
Thank you.
- Salute. / - Also!
- What's this? / - Who are these handsome men?
- At ease. / - Did you come to support Jin Goo?
I told them I'd buy them a drink.
Who are these men?
They displayed firm abs in the drama.
They're Jin Goo's colleagues in...
- "Descendants of the Sun." / - Jin Goo...
What's he like?
Our roles were small but
he took good care of us.
He has a really strong image but
he's gentle in real life.
- He's really considerate. / - Right.
He's very humorous.
Are you complimenting him because
he's going to buy you a drink?
No. This is the truth, no white lies.
In the drama, Sergeant Suh embarrassed himself
at a firing range.
Curious about his actual firing skills?
You'll be in for a huge shock.
He began by shooting accurately.
He scored the second and third time too.
What can't this man do?
I think I know how Kim Jongho feels now.
- It's very pleasing. / - Wow.
Shoot the remaining seven bullets.
I'll aim for the top left.
He was so accurate.
He scored every time.
This target moves. It's difficult.
Wait a minute.
Give him a clap.
This is amazing.
You have four bullets left. If you get one target...
- You'll complete the mission. If you miss... / - Yes?
Write your name with your bottom in front of the fans.
Okay.
I'll make sure I score.
Taejin, your glasses don't suit you.
Will he be able to complete his mission?
He looks so handsome doing that.
Mission complete.
The rest is a bonus.
He succeeded again.
He couldn't believe it either.
You scored nine targets!
Does he win a doll then?
Gold medal!
He has one bullet left.
It's the tenth bullet.
I'll go for the middle target.
- The middle. / - The one that moves.
- The one on top of the love cushion. / - Yes.
If he gets this, it's a score of 100.
Will Jin Goo score 100?
- Oops. / - It proves that he's human.
You failed.
He can't be perfect.
You missed one bullet.
What does that missed bullet mean to you?
- It makes me look human. / - Yes.
It makes you look human.
- You don't want to appear perfect. / - Right.
Who's the oldest here?
- 100. / - What?
100.
(Don't lie)
Don't be ridiculous.
Mother and daughter will get one each.
This is great. Next...
Her mom.
- Nice. / - Thank you.
Who's travelled the longest distance?
- Busan, Busan! / - Busan!
- Are you from Busan? / - Yes.
You speak like a Seoul person.
(Oops!)
I'm don't...
The last doll was given to
the man from Busan.
He even got a back hug.
We completed the street interview and moved indoors.
The fans didn't go away.
Jin Goo continued to serve his fans.
He's so attractive.
I just lived feeling happy
to be able to act in front of the camera.
This is the most love I've received in 14 years.
Did you think the drama would be successful?
As soon as I read the script,
I knew this would take off.
Our couple was so lovely.
I knew people would love them.
- You felt attracted to your character. / - Right.
I heard that there are a lot of
beautiful women in Uruk.
Did you really take a shower
or were you wearing shorts?
Joongki prepared two pairs of shorts.
For both of you?
He said I had to wear it.
I was just going to wear my underwear.
- Just your underwear? / - Yes.
I was grateful that he brought swimmers.
- Joongki did that? / - Yes.
He wanted to protect your pride.
Is that right?
Yes.
He's a pro.
Let's begin discussing your qualities.
He's like a tsundere.
He's not that sweet.
He speaks indifferently but
he's actually very considerate.
It's a kind of misunderstanding.
He looks indifferent. Why is he being so kind?
I think it's because I have
a mean looking face.
If you were a woman, would you marry you?
What?
That was totally unexpected.
I thought about that for the first time just now.
I don't think I would go out with me.
Women who broke up with me in the past
said they couldn't trust me.
I think I know how they felt.
I could seem like a player.
You seem mysterious.
I remember your ad-lib from "Northern Limit Line."
Look how pretty she is.
Are you like that in real life?
- Are you sweet at home? / - For sure.
What do you tell your wife?
I tell her that I love her.
- I say that all the time. / - I see.
We compliment each other a lot.
Wow. When is this photo from?
Captain Yoo Sijin
arrives back in Korea from Uruk.
He comes to see me train new soldiers.
Have the actors of "Descendants of the Sun..."
- Formed a kind of comradery? / - For sure.
Our occupations were soldiers.
We rehearsed action scenes for around two months.
We went to an actual special forces base.
We trained there.
We worked hard together.
That's why I'm close to not just Joongki but
all the actors who wore uniforms.
Here's the second photo.
This is the stranded ship on Navagio Beach.
This is the actual stranded ship?
A fan...
They used computer graphics.
They placed Jiwon and myself
in Hyegyo and Joongki's positions.
It looks realistic. I was so grateful.
That's right.
I was surprised.
It's my tenth anniversary. It's time I became popular!
- Did your fans write that? / - Yes.
My fans and I even swear at each other.
I told them I'd tear it apart.
I could feel how desperate my fans were.
I felt a little bitter and sorry.
You should've worked harder?
I wanted to become popular too.
It's not my fault.
The viewers are curious about what happens next.
Can you give us a clue?
I don't think I can do that.
I'm dying to speak about it.
I don't want to give it away.
I can tell you this. It's a great ending.
One day in the future, on your gravestone...
Something something actor Jin Goo.
What would you like the message to be?
I want to be a good person.
However, acting is my profession...
So not a person who's good at acting...
I want to be a good person who acts.
That's great. It suits him.
You want to be a good person, not just a good actor.
That's great. I hope that happens soon.
In the next few days?
This was my Guerrilla Date with Jin Goo.
We look forward to seeing...
- How the drama unfolds. / - We wish you the best.
It's time for Entertainment Weekly's special series,
drama theme songs loved by Koreans.
Let's count down from rank 30.
I'll sing a song for you.
A song?
Okay.
Which wonderful songs are ranked in the top 30?
Today, you'll also discover
the hidden talents of actors in their dramas.
Let's get started.
The first song is from
"Alone in Love."
As soon as the drama went on-air, people asked
what the title of this song was.
This song turned Sweet Sorrow
into stars overnight.
It's called "No Matter How I Think About You."
The word "you" appears in the song 25 times.
Even if we listen until the end,
we don't find out what to do about you.
Son Yejin is as pretty back then as she is now.
I cried so much for you.
Mom was so sad to have lost you.
She was perfect in her role as a mother who had
experienced a miscarriage. She was 24 at the time.
Through this drama, Son Yejin's
acting skills were acknowledged.
(A hidden song from "Alone in Love")
(It's famous as Son Yejin's tears song)
Her tears song
is one of the most famous scenes.
The drama "Alone in Love"
holds special meaning in real life.
It was music director Noh Yeongsim's debut drama
and also the first drama directed by
her husband, Han Jiseung.
The wonderful teamwork by this couple
made the drama even more popular.
I love this song.
I love it.
"Found" by JYJ.
Song Joongki also likes "Found." It's in 29th place.
This drama told the story of
the four young scholars of Sungkyunkwan.
It's "Sungkyunkwan Scandal."
Run away from me, Kim Yunsik.
He played a smart, handsome young man of Joseon.
Park Yuchun debuted with this drama and
the members of JYJ supported him with this song.
Generally, successful soundtracks sell 20,000 copies
but this soundtrack sold 110,000 copies.
They were even nominated for first place
on Music Bank despite not appearing on television.
Female viewer ratings for "Sungkyunkwan Scandal"
were double that of competitor dramas.
It must be because the men were so handsome.
If you keep telling lies...
It could become a habit.
It could become a habit.
Yu Ain created a syndrome with this drama.
- Also! / - I'm Ku Yongha.
I'm Ku Yongha.
I'm Ku Yongha.
Women fell in love with Song Joongki's winks.
Here?
The bromance between these two men got
women excited.
What will we do with this couple?
From "Sungkyunkwan Scandal,"
Song Joongki and Yu Ain.
They even won best couple that year.
I want to be crazy in love in my next drama.
They'll meet again in "Descendants of the Sun."
- Look forward to that. / - Really?
27th and 28th place
goes to Lee Seungchul, the king of soundtracks.
In 27th place, "Fate."
Lee Seungchul sang this song as a favor
for his good friend, Lee Seojin.
"Fire Bird" was the late Lee Eunju's last drama.
Loving one woman
is much harder than running a company.
Her love triangle with these two men
was one of the highlights of this drama.
Eric was better than Seojin at this...
Can you smell something burning?
My heart's burning right now.
Goodness. This became a catchphrase.
Can you smell something burning?
Are you kidding me?
Don't burn the meat.
Burning...
Leave that up to my heart.
My name is Kim Takgu!
In 28th place, this drama ended with
the highest viewer ratings of 50.8%.
It's "Bread, Love and Dreams."
1 in every 2 people watched this national drama.
The bakery industry also experienced
a peak thanks to the popularity of this drama.
Lee Seungchul's soulful voice stood out in this song
but he didn't want to sing it at first.
When I first received the offer...
I was a little offended because comical programs
now wanted me to sing for them.
"Bread, Love and Dreams" sounds strange.
Yes. The title's a little comical.
The first episode gained ratings of 20%.
Then it leaped to 30%.
I sent them the song immediately.
The song became popular as soon as it went on-air.
Sales in the mobile communication industry
alone reached $5 million,
the highest record for that year.
1, 2, 3. Action!
In 26th place, "Worlds Within."
("It Was You From the Beginning" by Kim Johan)
This drama was set in the broadcasting industry.
It told the love story of crew and actors.
I can tell you this for certain.
Directors like this don't exist in real life.
Song Hyegyo and Hyun Bin's sweet romance
encouraged many young people to fall in love.
Which song featured in this drama
and got people to fall in love?
You stay still. I'll do everything for you.
("Attachment" by Sung Sikyung)
It was Sung Sikyung's last song before entering
the army, "Attachment."
(It's more famous as Hyun Bin's theme song)
Sung Sikyung volunteered to sing when he heard
that Song Hyegyo would be cast in this drama.
Cut! Okay!
In 25th place,
"If" by Taeyeon.
("If" by Taeyeon)
"If" was the first solo song by Taeyeon,
the leader of Girls' Generation.
I kept making suggestions and
revised the song when I recorded it.
It was just two years after her debut but
her expression and soulful voice helped her remain
at number one on an online chart for five months.
Viewers kept their eyes glued on Sung Yuri.
Her urinating scene was so realistic.
She threw away her fairy image and
put on a comical performance.
Her acting was so good.
It made people see her in a totally different light.
As soon as this introduction played,
we felt like going to Jongno. 24th place, "Wild Man."
This song was the young Kim Duhan's theme song.
We loved watching the fight scenes.
How dare you challenge me?
You've really...
Grown up.
This was the most famous scene.
This song played in the battle scene
between Kim Duhan and Ku Majeok.
Of the 43 episodes,
An Jaemo filmed 52 fight scenes.
He had to work overnight filming
two fight scenes a week.
I've lost.
Just once a day!
This song was to be played only in
Kim Duhan's fight scenes.
This song was sung by Kang Sung.
He's a lot more handsome than his voice suggests.
People even suspected him of lip synching.
(He even sang the song himself in the drama)
He even sang the song himself in the drama.
Wild man? Whatever.
I never told you to become a wild man.
Thanks to Kang Sung's song,
An Jaemo won best actor when he was 23 years old.
In 23rd place, "The Last Scandal of My Life."
("Will Love Come" by Byun Jinsub)
This drama told the story of a man and
woman who fell in love in high school
and met again as a divorcee and top star.
It even created the new term.
(A new term to express active middle-aged women)
What happened to this shirt?
I washed it by hand. It's shrunk.
$70? Where?
Okay, I'll go at once.
Choi Jinsil transformed into
a tough mom in this drama.
She even cast the male lead herself.
(Another song received even more love)
Whenever their emotions peaked,
this song would play.
"I Have a Lover."
It didn't receive much attention when it was released
but gained popularity three years later in this drama.
It became even more famous because of Choi Jinsil.
It was her favorite song while she was alive.
It was the final background song on her website.
This song played
on her last journey and
added to the sadness.
There's no other man like him in this world.
Song Joongki has appeared again.
In my head...
You keep walking around.
You run.
You fly.
He's so handsome.
Song Joongki transformed his image in this drama.
His voice melted our hearts.
What can't he do?
However, this song didn't make it on our charts.
The fourth gift.
This song created a synergy
with the dramatic ending.
("Love is like a Snowflake" by Kim Junsu)
The drama gained top ratings after this song was
released and the song also
topped the music charts.
It was a win-win case for both the drama and
the soundtrack.
Song Joongki and Kim Junsu's teamwork continues
with "Sungkyunkwan Scandal," "The Innocent Man"
and "Descendants of the Sun."
Their meeting is always a success.
Here's a clue from Song Joongki.
I told you to keep your hands off my girl!
Inside, I have poo.
If you're hungry, say so!
Speak up if you feel hungry!
How can I say that?
Take a look at you.
Did you guess right?
This song takes us back in time.
Baby, let's go.
It's the Cinderella story of a millionaire and poor girl.
It was cliche but we all loved it.
That man is mine!
He's my lover! Why don't you say so?
You didn't give her a chance to speak!
Han Giju was so attractive when he shouted.
Inside...
You're here.
This character was so buttery.
The drama also had a typical love triangle.
It's your big brother's engagement party.
Brother?
It's time I told you.
All chaotic dramas have this,
a birth secret.
This drama scored top ratings of 57.6%.
This theme song added to the drama's popularity.
It began the second prime of Jo Sungmo's career.
A line from the theme song delivers
more emotions than spoken lines.
Our charts continue next week. Look forward to it!
- Thank you. / - Okay.
That's all we have for today.
See you again next time.
Viewers, be happy!
("KNOCK" by KNK)
("What 2 Do" by Dean)
