(Original Entertainment interviews managers!)
(What did you eat for breakfast?)
(No, I'm economy.)
(Exceptional English skills)
(Why say such useless...)
(Endlessly victimized)
(Get out!)
(This is Original Entertainment.)
(Sinbad?)
(The manager interview was a disaster.)
(Jimi Yu and Refund Sisters meet.)
(Producer mode is on)
(Refund Sisters won't relinquish control.)
(Who are you?)
(They even suspect his identity.)
(Yawning)
(Did you just yawn?)
(Incredulous)
(Jimi Yu desperately needs someone's help.)
(Original Entertainment)
I'm Jimi Yu.
Did you just yawn?
- I didn't... - Come on!
- I shall do my praying mantis... - Did you think I'll back down?
Jimi.
No, I mean...
(Refund Sisters, produced by Jimi Yu)
(One summer day)
(A retro style cafe)
(Opening wide)
(A man in a wild leopard-print shirt)
It's stifling hot.
(Sanitizing his hands thoroughly)
(Jimi Yu enters)
How nice.
(His look suits the setting perfectly.)
(Oh...)
(Gosh!)
Ma'am?
Can I have a cup of ssanghwa tea?
Okay.
Thank you.
- Oh. Thank you. - Hello.
It's here already? Thank you.
The egg yolk... Here it is.
- Enjoy your tea. - Thank you, ma'am.
Ssanghwa tea is all about the egg yolk.
You pop it...
(Stirring)
(Amazed)
(Salivating)
It doesn't taste good when you pop the yolk.
But I already popped it.
Just drink it, then.
Okay. I got it.
(He still has a sip.)
(Humming in approval)
(Impressed)
This is good.
(But why is Jimi Yu here?)
(And a stranger shows up at that time.)
(His outfit in gold stands out.)
It's itchy.
Gosh, the metals must be too toxic.
- Gosh, Mr. Yu. - Goodness.
Gosh.
(Who is this man who showed up out of the blue?)
- Hi. - You haven't changed.
Congratulations. I heard.
Gosh, you haven't changed.
(He's the leader of a mixed-gender group, Roo'Ra.)
(He successfully produced groups such as Sharp, Chakra, and BROS.)
(He's the producer with the Midas touch from the 90s.)
(And he's the one who suggested forming SSAK3.)
(The legendary producer, Lee Sang Min)
Gosh, you haven't changed.
By the way, I read the post...
- Okay. - on your social media.
(Sang Min posted a photo of a present from SSAK3's agency.)
(I can meet up with Jimi Yu and give some good advice.)
(On top of that, he promised to help Jimi Yu.)
It's nice to meet you, Mr. Lee.
- You should order a drink. - Okay. What is that?
I'm having ssanghwa tea.
- I'll get the same thing. - The same one?
Oh, my. You and I seem to connect.
- Ma'am. - Yes.
One more cup of ssanghwa tea, please.
Thank you.
- Here you go. - Okay.
I popped the yolk,
- but she told me not to do that. - I see.
- Don't pop it. Drink it as it is. - Okay.
- It's better that way. - Really?
Ma'am, you have...
the same hairstyle as Jung Hwa from back in the day.
That's her hairstyle when she performed "Poison".
(The owner is killing the hairstyle from "Poison".)
(They have a cup of the nostalgic drink, ssanghwa tea.)
(Humming in approval)
(This is it.)
You pulled off such a hard project.
Now that you brought the members of Refund Sisters together,
that's all you need to do.
(Happy to hear that)
After that...
(He keeps telling him words of blessings.)
You just...
Hold on. Wait a moment.
Seriously. As soon as he sat down,
this is what he brought up.
You're a professional.
(The professionals compliment each other.)
I guess we, professionals, see things eye to eye.
- I rarely listen to others. - I see.
I'm very busy too.
Mr. Lee, I'm very well aware of your abilities.
You have dominated the industry before.
So I made time today to listen to your advice.
If this happened back in the day,
on the day of their formation, there would be an article...
in the evening newspaper in the morning.
(In the evening newspaper in the morning?)
That means the article comes out at night.
("The First Meeting of Refund Sisters and Jimi Yu")
- Back then... - You mean the morning papers.
- Back then... - In the morning...
Back in the day,
if producers understood my gist, they moved on.
- Right. I get your gist. - Yes.
Mr. Lee, I get it.
I'll be sharing some of my thoughts with you today.
I really want you to take them to heart.
This is the biggest talent for producers to have.
Promoting good relationships among members.
Among the four of them,
there can't be any trouble no matter how small it is.
You must be capable of promoting good relationships among them.
The members of the group don't easily share...
their feelings with each other.
They keep their feelings bottled up inside.
And they disband over something so minor.
Which group was that?
(He silently slurps the ssanghwa tea.)
To be honest, even families fight.
- Of course. - Yes.
Masterpieces come from fights.
Gosh, that's a great line. Let me write that down.
Goodness. What did you say? Masterpieces...
- It's... - This is a great line.
There can't be hit songs without any fights.
"Masterpieces come from fights."
(The secrets of producers)
I really didn't expect much from you, Mr. Lee.
Some of the things you just blurt out...
- totally helped me realize things. - Yes.
Excuse me. Ma'am.
- Do you have arrowroot juice? - Yes.
Two glasses of arrowroot juice, please.
Goodness. Thank you.
(He pays Mr. Lee with the juice for his wise words.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
The producers from Yeouido don't come here anymore, right?
Don't ask her such silly questions.
(Feeling embarrassed)
But don't you know all of them?
Yes, I know all of them.
You also know Jung Hwa, right?
I know her well. We used to be really good friends.
When Jung Hwa went through two relationships...
What?
Why would you bring that up now?
- Listen. - It's...
- That's how close we were. - I see.
I heard you recently gave Jessi some directions for her recording.
(Sighing)
Jessi...
is the hardest to handle.
As soon as she came to Korea, she met me.
Really?
I heard a talented artist came to Korea.
So when I met her, I could definitely see she was talented.
- In singing? - She has a phenomenal voice.
As phenomenal as her voice was, so was her personality.
(Laughing)
I heard Hyo Lee is having a secret relationship.
Yes.
She told me she's living with a guy too.
But I've never met her boyfriend yet.
Back in the day, it was included in the 2nd clause of Article 3.
- What was the clause? - If our love life gets exposed,
it's a violation of the contract.
However, if the signification other is better than the talent,
it's not a violation.
(That won't be a violation of the contract.)
(Flustered)
- That was in the contract? - I'm serious.
If the relationship didn't affect the popularity or other factors,
you could date. There was a clause like that.
Tell her not to go to the terrace by the river.
- Not the one in Jamwon-dong. - Okay.
Reporters are always waiting there.
That's where celebrities went on dates in the 90s.
And celebrities from the 80s also went there.
- When you go there, - Are there reporters?
you can just assume there will be reporters.
So tell them not to go.
- We won't go to District Jamwon. - Right. Don't go there.
- District Jamwon. - Yes.
What do you plan to do with their music and so on?
One of the demands they made was that I don't get involved.
They don't want my involvement.
(Don't get too involved.)
(Don't touch.)
You have to get involved.
If they tell you not to get involved in their music,
that message wasn't just for you.
It was for other members too.
Then, what happens? The producer has to get involved.
Most importantly, the four of them...
want to perform different genres of music.
Let me help you with their music first.
You should separate the four of them.
How?
Hyo Lee said something important.
- What did she say? - She wants 30-second songs.
(Back then, there was a song called "Bohemian Rhapsody".)
(The song lasted over 6 minutes which was quite shocking.)
So we should...
(Let's take a bolder approach and make 30-second songs.)
(It sounds like baloney.)
(Hyo Lee's idea was shut down as soon as she suggested it.)
It was a great idea.
That's not a great idea at all.
She was thinking outside the box.
And that's the best idea.
- Really? - Let me give you a hint.
Put everything they want in one song.
If you listen to them, they all have a point.
But whose idea will you choose?
Tell them they will get 40 seconds and get to include what they want...
in one song.
So for the first time in history,
create a song with an intro, an outro, and four choruses.
I want Refund Sisters to come up with an original song like that.
(All you do is brag about yourself)
(Whatever you say)
(You will regret it)
(You're a fool)
(Will there be the birth of a new genre?)
I'm telling you. That's not a bad approach.
- The thing about producers is... - Okay.
even if the producers only have...
- 3 or 5 dollars, - Okay.
you must make the singers...
believe that you have 1,000 dollars with you.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Let's say that the producer arrived at a shoot first.
But he waits in his car.
After seeing the singers arrived,
the producer enters after 10 to 30 minutes nonchalantly.
Right. Producers always arrive late.
- They do. - Why is that?
If they arrive early, they don't look cool.
Arriving first and waiting for the singers...
- Because that looks uncool? - Yes, a bit.
Back in the day, this is what they always did. A producer...
called all of his friends to a place.
- Go on. - And when the singers arrived,
the producer told the singers to sit and wait.
His friends would praise the producer endlessly.
So you should ask your friends to do the same for you.
Next to successful producers, there are struggling producers.
6 to 7 unsuccessful producers are always there,
so they can borrow money.
They have to praise the producer to borrow a few bucks.
- So you've been acting? - No.
- No. - Mr. Lee.
- You've been acting all this time? - No, that's not it.
You need to do that.
- There's another tip. - What is it?
Let's say that Refund Sisters...
cannot work with you today.
- So they were upset with me. - Yes.
So you would plan a skit with their manager.
- Go on. - You say this to the manager.
"Let me yell at you in front of the girls just for today."
"I'm going to scold you a lot today."
So the producer and the manager are doing a skit.
Right. As you enter, you fling open the door.
When you enter, say this.
"It's so hot in here. Why didn't you turn on the air conditioner?"
That's not a big deal. That's such a minor problem.
- But that's... Okay. Go on. - It's just an example.
"The girls must be hot."
"Did you girls eat?"
Give them some food. Look at their clothes. Are you serious?
When you do that,
they will get the idea that you're looking out for them.
- They feel I care about them. - Yes.
They'd think you had lost it.
- Mr. Lee. - Yes.
I know this is how things were done back then, but this is so cheap.
Why would you use such a cheap trick?
In the end, even if they had a fight,
the manager will make them laugh.
That's why I say that the role of the manager...
takes up 50 percent of the producer's success.
Honestly speaking, it's better if the manager is a bit dense.
I've been interviewing some people. And some of them were like that.
Really?
(The interviewees didn't understand Jimi's questions.)
Choose the densest guy for their manager.
Why is that?
If you have a dense and frustrating manager,
you'll shine.
I'm serious.
The manager will tire the members out.
"Can you give me some water?" "What?"
"I need water. Give me water." "Water?"
"I asked you to bring something."
"What?"
"I asked you to bring something."
"What was it again?"
Later on, when you start walking in from afar,
people will treat you like a deity, a man who can resolve everything.
"Hey, it's our leader."
Actually, it's better if they're a bad driver.
There are candidates who can't drive at all.
I mean...
(Is it okay to hire a guy without a driver's license?)
There are managers who can't drive very well.
Then something like this happens.
"You can sit there. I'll drive today."
When you do that, you'll look really awesome.
They'll have a real trust in their CEO.
Instead of hiring a manager who's meticulous in everything,
- hire someone who's sloppy. - Exactly.
- A manager who seems humane. - Yes.
Is there anyone that you know you'd like to recommend?
There's one person who is perfect for this position.
- Who is it? - Someone who made a living...
for over 10 years thanks to his lack of understanding.
- Who is it? - A guy named Kim Jong Min.
Come on.
- I mean... - No way.
- One thing he says the most is... - What?
(That's it!)
The more he goes, "What?"
You should be very thankful for his presence.
- What? - A manager who says that a lot?
But come to think about it, he totally has a point.
That really makes sense.
Anyway, find a good manager first. Make sure you get Jong Min.
The moment Jong Min joins this team, you will feel very relaxed.
Anyway, Mr. Lee. Thank you so much.
I'll pay for the tea today.
- Thanks. - Yes.
- Goodbye. - I'll get going.
- Do you not need that? - I'll take it.
He gave me a lot of good tips.
(A few days later, on a day in August)
(Jimi Yu rents out a corner of a coffee house.)
(He's holding the 2nd interview for the manager's position.)
(His favorite, milk flavored candies.)
(His mouth shows he's focused.)
(What kind of manager candidates will show up today?)
(The first candidate walks into the interview hall.)
Man, it's tiring to hold these interviews.
(T.C.G., Kwang Hee)
This is good.
(Kwang Hee hides behind the door to make sure he isn't seen.)
Excuse me, sir, do you also make food?
No.
Why did you want to see me again? Why are you so cold to me today?
Well, I'm Jimi Yu.
Yes, sure. I saw the show too.
(Every member of Refund Sisters mentioned Kwang Hee.)
(I want Kwang Hee.)
(A manager candidate of Refund Sisters, Kwang Hee)
Why didn't you tell me about this? I would've dressed up.
I'm sorry, but I don't really know you.
Why do you say that?
We met way before. And you got me a birthday gift.
Anyway, please have a seat.
Okay. What is this? Can you help me feel relaxed?
You hate it when people do these made-up things.
You told me not to do these things, but you're totally doing it.
Anyone can tell that you're Yu Jae Seok.
I'm guessing you don't really know about me.
I'm the producer, Jimi Yu.
Jimi? What can you produce?
Let me be frank with you as a former idol group member.
You either have to have the talent as a producer...
or good wits in order to produce a group.
I'm not sure if you have heard,
but there are the members I will be producing.
You got people who already have a solid career.
Exactly. If you don't want to be the manager,
- you don't have to be here... - No, I want to be the manager.
- Really? - I shouldn't have said that.
Okay. He's way too talkative.
He's too talkative for no reason.
Anyway, let me ask you a few questions.
- Three taekwondo black belts? - Yes.
You'll need someone who can do taekwondo to protect our talents.
If you have a specific skill like this, it could be helpful.
- Do you want to see it? - Can you show me?
- Yes. - Then just a little.
- In taekwondo... - Yes?
kicks are very important.
(His posture doesn't look right.)
That wasn't too funny, and you don't look too good either.
- What's that thing you learn first? - Form one.
- Can you show me that? Taegeuk one. - Taegeuk one.
(He gets ready one more time.)
(Sighing)
(Watching)
I'm sorry, but why do you look sulky as you show me taekwondo?
Think about it.
How can I do this while you're giving me the death stare?
Take a seat. Take a seat for now.
Anyway, thank you for showing me taekwondo.
You said you're so friendly that you can talk to a stranger...
as if the person is your friend of 10 years.
Yes, of course. Should I do that with someone?
Let's see. Can you talk to the owner?
The owner?
(Mom.)
Mom, where's the remote control I've seen here before?
(The owner: Out of words)
The remote control?
- Isn't it around there? - It's not, Mom.
Come on, Mom. I told you not to throw it out.
That was a different remote control.
- Wait, Kwang Hee. - Mom, don't ever call me again.
Kwang Hee, one second.
My gosh!
- Do you know him? - No.
- I'm sorry. - Kwang Hee.
Yes? That's how friendly I am.
- How is that friendly? - I mean...
Why do you suddenly call a random person your mom?
That happens when you're close to someone.
It's only because she was okay. But what if someone isn't?
But you need to have this kind of friendliness...
- to be a manager. - Really?
You haven't met that cameraman before, so can you do that?
It's you.
It's you, isn't it? You stole Mi Sun from me!
(He's flustered to have Kwang Hee suddenly barge in.)
Hey! Answer me! Answer me right now.
- Look at this guy. - Kwang Hee, one second.
How is that being friendly?
- No? - One second.
- Why? - Do you know what "friendly" means?
Friendly. I talked to him as if he was my friend.
- One second. - Did they just refuse to talk?
That was pretty unpleasant.
I get close to everyone after I create an episode like this.
Really?
(Very disappointed)
- Unreasonable. - I'm not unreasonable.
He doesn't know what "friendly" means.
I guess I was rude. I'm sorry.
One more time. I'll try again.
- Do what again? - This... This meeting.
The interview is already over. Why should we do it again?
- That was way too short. - What?
- That was too short. - What can I do?
A little longer. Let me try again. I can do better.
I'll show you.
I'm sorry, Kwang Hee.
I only called you because the members wanted you.
To be honest, I do not have that much interest in you.
Don't lie. If you aren't interested, why have you been contacting me?
- When? - You text me all the time.
I'm not sure who's texting you, but...
- It was you. - It wasn't me.
I'll show everyone.
If this is your attitude for the interview, please leave.
Why do you lie about your emotions?
What emotions?
You really love me these days.
He has been crazy about me. One day, he wanted to meet,
then he gave me a gift as if it was a coincidence.
- Kwang Hee, come here. - I can't believe this.
- It's because there are people. - Come closer. I have to say this.
- What? - Come closer.
I have something to say. Give me your ear.
My gosh. Did you just slap me?
- Anyway, your teeth laminates... - Were you embarrassed...
- because I brought that up? - Your teeth laminates are...
The fact that he wanted me to participate in "Luv Us"...
Participate in "Luv Us"...
- I can't work with him. - What?
I know Sae Ho was here last week. He called me right after.
He was thrilled when he heard you didn't call me for this.
- I'm sorry, but... - Sorry, Sae Ho. After I'm done,
Hyo Lee and everyone will come in too.
- Kwang Hee. - Yes?
- Your interview is over. - Why?
How can you say it's over while we're still doing this?
- How? - I'm very sorry.
You have a lack of understanding of the current situation.
When did you get here, Min Su?
(Getting up)
It's nice to see you. Can you make this work?
- Who are you talking to? - Min Su.
- What? - He's Producer Jeong Wu Seong.
He's Producer Jeong Wu Seong.
He's on paternity leave.
Things aren't working out today.
(He got the producers confused.)
- Darn it. Today isn't a good day. - Great job.
- This is awful. - It seems like...
you aren't the man for this manager's position.
In a word... I'm not sure how I should put this,
but you completely shattered the opportunity that found you.
- I did? - Yes.
- I destroyed it? - I can't help you anymore.
Wait. One second.
Yes? What is it?
(Kwang Hee walks over to the door.)
Jae Seok! Am I going to join How Do You Play?
Exactly. This is exactly why you didn't make it. That's why.
- So... - My gosh, you changed this much...
because of your greed for money?
Who do you think helped you?
Do you think I did nothing during your SSAK3 project?
I'm pretty sure I did... How much is it? Like two-tenth!
Is this how you'll abandon me?
Rain, Hyo Lee, and this guy did everything together...
- and left me out of this. - Kwang Hee.
This isn't the SSAK3 project.
This is so annoying. Darn it.
- I mean, I... - What do you know about producing?
Then can you...
I'll keep my eyes on Refund Sisters and see if you do well.
Do whatever you want.
That was good. That was very realistic.
(Make sure you take the 1st place.)
(He bid them well with his index finger.)
- Don't look for me. - He told us to get first place.
- Don't look for me! - The first place.
That was great.
Kwang Hee has been making huge impacts.
- Mr. Yu. Can you work this out? - No.
- No? - Kwang Hee, you can just leave.
You can take your resume.
Please go home.
Producer Kim Tae Ho, how long do you think I'll lurk around?
Bye, Kwang Hee.
(He leaves the interview hall wishing they'll take the 1st place.)
(Their interview actually ended in just 15 minutes.)
Kwang Hee, unreasonable.
He doesn't know what "friendly" means.
He shoots out curses when things don't go his way.
However, he left us as he wished we'll become the first place.
(Thanks to Kwang Hee, he has enough time to eat lunch.)
The last interview finished earlier than I'd expected.
(Slurping)
(He even enjoys tea time.)
(Blowing)
(It's hot.)
(While Jimi Yu relaxedly enjoys his tea...)
What is this?
What? I...
(A guy walks in carefully.)
(Hesitant)
(The owner seems happy.)
- Jong Min? - Yes?
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello. What?
- Jong Min? - Yes?
Have a seat.
- What? - Well...
(Laughing)
(Sang Min suggested that Jimi hire a manager who'd make him stand out.)
(There is a guy who makes a living by being slow?)
(Kim Jong Min)
(Kim Jong Min, applicant for the celebrity manager position)
(Laughing)
Gosh, you surprised me.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
- My name is... - Hello.
Jimi Yu.
Okay.
(Laughing)
Your name is Jimi Yu?
- Yes. - I see.
I'm a producer.
Okay. Oh, thank you.
Anyway, what's the matter?
(Laughing)
(Jimi Yu can't help but keep laughing.)
My gosh. Look at this.
What?
What's wrong?
- What? - What?
(Laughing)
- Why are you laughing so much? - Look at this.
- What's the problem? - Nothing.
- Okay. - I mean...
"No touch."
(Everything puzzles the applicant.)
"Don't touch."
Did you hear anything before coming here?
Nothing. Downstairs, someone did tell me...
you're producing something.
I'm the producer.
- Okay. - Yes.
Like I said earlier, my name is Jimi Yu.
- Okay. - Yes.
And?
(He is innocent and has no prejudice.)
(Innocent)
- My gosh. Look at this. - What's wrong?
(Hire the slowest person you can find as a manager.)
This guy is perfect for the position.
What?
- What? - What's going on?
Look. I'm these guys' producer.
They're called Refund Sisters.
(I've heard of it.)
I see.
Actually, this is a job interview to hire a manager.
A job interview? To hire a manager?
Yes.
- Me? - Yes.
Why?
Someone recommended you.
- Someone recommended me? - Yes.
Oh, really?
May I ask you a few questions?
Sure, go ahead.
What did you do before this?
- Me? - Yes.
I was at home before coming here.
(Chuckling)
Is it so hard giving such a short answer?
(The question wasn't that hard.)
A good manager should be careful with his words.
(I see.)
- That's an important point. - Yes.
- You're right. It's important. - Right.
Your hobbies and specialties include dancing...
What does this mean, "treadmill"?
- What? - It says, "treadmill".
What about it?
What?
Are you asking me what a treadmill is?
(Jimi Yu laughs silently.)
- By the way, - Yes?
you keep asking, "what?"
That's right.
It's because I'm full of curiosity.
(The more he goes, "What?" You should be very thankful.)
(Lee Sang Min's recommendation makes more and more sense.)
All right. Are you a positive person?
Yes, I try to be positive.
Then what would be your weakness related to your personality?
- My weakness? - Yes.
I'm a bit slow.
(He understands his weakness very well.)
Do you often miss the point of what a person is saying?
I do.
- You do? - Yes.
I'm not good at concentrating either.
- Really? - Yes.
After listening to someone for a while,
I easily lose concentration.
In the end, I miss the point.
(His accurate self-assessment makes Jimi Yu speechless.)
Why does it say, "Mensa", here?
I've taken the Mensa test.
Oh, really?
(Laughing)
(It looks like a big deal for some reason.)
You're funny.
"History, flags, and capitals of different countries..."
You have a lot of knowledge across many different fields?
Yes, I do.
- Is that right? - I know a little about everything.
- The capital of the Czech Republic? - Prague.
I can answer right away.
What about Malaysia?
(What about Malaysia?)
- What? - Malaysia.
Malaysia?
Yes.
Jakarta.
It's Kuala Lumpur.
There are a few capitals I don't know.
All right. That's not important.
- No. - Right?
Finland?
(His eyebrows wiggle.)
Finland?
Wait.
It's Helsinki.
- Oh, Helsinki. - It's Helsinki.
But that's not important.
No. It slipped my mind.
Sweden?
(Sweden?)
Sweden?
Sweden...
It's Stockholm.
I don't know many capitals, to be honest.
(After just three questions, one of his specialties is gone.)
(Dizzy)
(My gosh.)
This is interesting.
He said he could answer right away.
You got only 1 right out of 4.
You were a trainee at SM Entertainment?
- What? No, I wasn't a trainee. - Okay.
But I auditioned once.
- At SM Entertainment? - Yes.
What kind of audition was it?
What? I wanted to be a singer, but they wanted me to be a dancer.
So I thought I failed the audition and never went back.
If you had stayed there, you might have debuted.
You're right. The other dancers included...
Kangta, Jang Woo Hyuk, and Moon Hee Joon.
That means you could have become a member of H.O.T.
Well, no one will know.
"No one will know"?
- Do you mean, "No one knows"? - Yes.
(He gives a hearty laugh.)
- You were a singer for many years. - Yes.
So if you become a manager,
- you'd understand their problems. - Of course.
- Right? - Yes.
I'm sure there are many problems you can experience on stage.
Can you tell me a few?
Problems on stage?
(Shocked)
Didn't you just answer that you understand them well?
I do know the problems that singers experience,
but I don't know about problems on stage.
(He's making things harder and harder for the producer.)
He's incredible.
He really is.
- Also... Let me see. - Yes?
You've been appearing on...
- "2 Days and 1 Night" for 14 years? - Yes.
How is that possible? That's incredible.
- Thank you. - Really.
I just did what I was told to do.
(Laughing)
(His unexpected answer makes Jimi spit his tea.)
I'm sorry. It must be hot.
You just focused on working hard every day.
Is that what you were trying to say?
No. I just did what I was told to do.
(His honesty makes Jimi Yu lower his head.)
This is a jackpot.
(Innocent)
If we hire you as a manager, will you be able to continue...
appearing on those shows?
- Me? - Yes.
Sure, I can.
I can do everything.
- Will it be okay? - Of course.
Will your schedule be okay?
What?
You want me to leave "2 Days and 1 Night"?
No, that's not it.
And only be your manager?
You really have a hard time understanding people.
But even though not everyone does this,
some people say,
"There's no point in staying on the show alone."
"If everyone else is leaving, I will too."
- I do say that too. - But?
But they tell me to stay.
(Laughing)
You're very obedient.
Yes, I am.
You're very obedient. It's important.
He's obedient.
He's extremely obedient.
If you become a manager,
we might sometimes have to put on a show together.
What? I'm really bad at those things.
- You are? - Yes.
The thing is, someone gave me a tip.
(A producer's tip)
(So you would plan a skit with their manager.)
(Why didn't you turn on the air conditioner?)
(The girls must be hot.)
(They feel I care about them.)
(Putting on a show can smooth things over.)
I might pretend to scold you.
- You might scold the manager? - On purpose.
- Okay. - With your consent.
"Why did you do this?"
"Why can't you take better care of the girls?"
You're not going to hit me, are you?
No, I'm not going to hit you.
- No. - Then it's no problem.
- You're okay with it? - Yes.
- Can we try it? - Sure, let's try it.
- Please make it look real. - Okay.
- All right. I'll come in. - I'm not good at acting.
No producers do this anymore.
- They're nice to the managers. - They are.
- This is just an act, okay? - Okay.
- Hey! - What?
(What?)
I'll try again.
(He tries to focus.)
(Innocent)
Why did you do this?
(Concentrating)
(Laughing)
What?
(All he says is, "What?")
You can sit back down.
All right.
(He only says, "What?" even while putting on a show.)
(What?)
- Listen. - Yes?
- Didn't I explain earlier? - Yes.
You're supposed to pretend to be scolded by me.
You shouldn't ask me a question.
No?
What should I do then?
(He only says, "What?" to the end.)
- All right. That's enough. - Okay.
- Please. - Okay.
He really is obedient.
(This applicant is extremely obedient.)
He does everything I tell him to do.
Do you know the four of them?
I know all four of them. I am close to Jung Hwa.
That's right. You are close to Jung Hwa, right?
We have been close ever since I was little.
I briefly worked as her backup dancer.
You were the V-man.
Yes.
(The signature dance move of "Poison",)
(the V-sign Dance was done by Jong Min.)
(He was called the V-man.)
Jung Hwa adored me because I was the youngest.
Since Jung Hwa was my star,
I followed her like a bodyguard.
I was her dancer and manager.
- Really? - Yes.
Then how is it with Hyo Lee?
I am a bit awkward with Hyo Lee.
- Really? Why? - Yes.
- We are the same age. - Are you the same age?
- Yes. - Go on.
One day, she began to speak casually...
to me.
Just like that.
(Hyo Lee, did we agree to speak casually to each other?)
Why didn't you talk to her about it?
She told me to speak casually, so I began to do that.
- Okay. - Then she began to speak politely.
- Hyo Lee went back to doing that. - Yes.
We should check with her.
Have you seen her recently?
I haven't seen her in a while.
- How long has it been? - I think it has been years.
How would you feel if you run into Hyo Lee?
What?
Be honest.
Let's say you ran into her on the street.
Would you say hello to her?
(Gosh.)
I would just pass her by.
What would you do...
if she greets you first when you try to pass her by?
Then I would greet her.
What would you say?
If she calls me Jong Min, I will go, "Hey."
If she calls me Mr. Kim, I will go, "Hello, Ms. Lee."
(It will be either "Hey" or "Hello, Ms. Lee.")
Are you close to Hwasa by any chance?
I have met her for a show.
(Jong Min once met Hwasa on a show.)
What did you think of her?
To the music industry,
she is like a big gain.
A big break.
- She is like a big break. - A big break to the music industry.
(A big break to the music industry)
How about Jessi?
Jessi?
How about Jessi?
Jessi?
She is very soft-hearted.
But she is also rough.
- You know Jessi. - Yes, I know her well.
I am comfortable around her.
Why do you think you get along with her?
I understand everything she says.
- Really? - Yes.
Hold on.
To be certain,
we prepared a listening comprehension test.
- A listening comprehension test? - Yes.
Jessi mixes up English words when she speaks...
- because she is Korean American. - Yes.
(She is the type to use English to express her emotions.)
To test your ability to understand her,
we brought a recording.
- Okay. - Would you interpret her words?
- Okay. - That's good.
Please play the recording.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oppa, for real?
Refund Sisters made it to the first?
Oh, my gosh. This is so crazy! How did we do it?
Oh, my gosh. Tell me. Is this a dream?
Pinch my cheeks, Oppa.
Oh, that hurts!
Okay, okay, okay. Stop. Listen.
I got you tonight. Everything's on me!
What is Jessi's current state?
I think she is surprised.
"Oh, my gosh."
(Chuckling)
(Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Oppa, for real?)
(Refund Sisters made it to the first?)
(Oh, my gosh. This is so crazy! How did we do it?)
- Jong Min. - Yes?
You just listened to one word.
- "Oh, my gosh." - Listen to one more recording.
Okay.
Guess which show Jessi wants to star in?
Okay.
Oppa, oppa.
I have a show in mind I want to be on...
where foreign actors act out global affairs.
You know, mystery, thriller, humor...
Don't you think it would be such a good start...
if I started acting?
Please, please get me that on my schedule.
Please. Pronto. Thank you.
All right. Which show does Jessi want to star in?
"Men on a Mission"?
("Men on a Mission"?)
(My goodness.)
- Why did you think that? - She said "Oppa" at first.
(He heard one word.)
(Oppa, oppa. I have a show in mind...)
(I want to be on...)
(where foreign actors act out global affairs.)
She could say that to the "Men on a Mission" members.
Okay.
(He can only make out one word.)
There is something I ask...
whenever I interview a manager candidate.
(A practical test for the manager)
He is very well-known in this industry.
(Myung Soo's manager promotes his good deeds without being overt.)
Let's say we were driving from Busan to Seoul.
Because the manager looked tired, I drove about 5km.
- Okay. - I didn't drive all the way.
- Of course not. - How would you promote that...
on SNS in a natural way?
What? In a natural way?
Yes.
What should I write?
You are uploading it on your SNS.
- So you, Jimi Yu... - On your SNS.
- Jimi Yu. - Jimi Yu.
You should write...
that Jimi Yu helped out his manager on his way to Seoul from Busan.
After driving 5km?
- Then... - Isn't that worse than not helping?
I mean...
He is so slow-witted.
- After driving 5km? - Listen.
It wouldn't do to say that Jimi Yu drove 5km.
- Okay. - How would you package it...
so that it helps Jimi Yu's image?
(He finally understands.)
I just need to write it the opposite way.
Give it a try.
"Jimi Yu..."
"drove 5km."
(5km?)
"For me..."
"For me,"
"he drove 5km."
Listen, Jong Min.
Are you trying to get people to criticize me?
The last part is important.
Okay. The last part.
"He meant well."
(The perfect ending)
- Is that it? - Yes.
Then people will know that he drove 5km...
because he meant well.
If you write that,
wouldn't people criticize me?
What?
So what if you get criticized?
Then what am I supposed to do?
Hold on. I need to use this.
"Kim Jong Min is for real."
(Kim Jong Min is for real.)
I forgot to ask you this.
When we hire managers,
- we try to accommodate them. - What do you mean?
Would you like an hourly wage...
- or a weekly wage? - The paycheck.
It could be a monthly wage.
- Shall I write down the amount? - Go ahead.
Just write how much you want.
- This is my first time, so... - Okay.
(Writing)
(How about this much?)
- 2,500 dollars? - Yes.
But you work once a week.
Is that so?
(The work hours take him by surprise.)
Once a week.
(He racks his brain.)
Once a week.
5 times 5 is 25.
Then each time... How much should I receive?
Put yourself at ease.
200 dollars?
50 dollars per day?
No. So this will last a month. Wait, this isn't it.
- I see. If that's what you... - Just pay me a decent salary.
But you should write it.
- We still have to write a contract. - Yes. I see.
- I'll write down my hourly rate. - What's your hourly rate? Do that.
Okay.
- 20 dollars? - Yes.
- 20 dollars per hour? - Okay.
You can pay me 18 dollars.
(Studying his face)
(Feigned laughter)
- That's the minimum rate. - Then, let's go with 20 dollars.
- What? - Write whatever you want.
(Chuckling)
I'll lower it to 15 dollars.
(He lowers it by 3 dollars.)
(Laughing)
- Okay. I got your offer. - Yes.
So do you prefer getting paid...
- by the hour? - Yes, I do.
Then, I'll set it to 20 dollars as you initially offered.
- Okay. - I'll write that down.
By the way, do you have any questions for me?
- I'm the producer. You can ask me. - Questions?
(Pondering)
So you're a producer too?
(His 1st question)
(What have I been doing with him for 1 hour?)
So you're a producer too?
- Yes. - I see.
- I see. - Okay. Why is your hair like that?
- That's just how my hair is. - I see.
Is that expensive?
(He's given up now.)
(Gazing)
You should go.
- Okay. - All right.
- Call me. - Okay. Bye.
- Bye, Jong Min. - Okay.
Bye.
- Do I really go? - Yes.
He's just like Mr. Lee said.
He'll help me shine.
Kim Jong Min. 80 percent of what he says is, "What?"
He has a hard time understanding people.
If I hire him, I'll shine.
He's the real deal.
(And several days later...)
(Original Entertainment)
(It's the start of another busy day.)
What a great world we live in.
I wonder what my members are up to nowadays.
(To report the progress and establish a plan,)
(they will have an online meeting.)
(Jimi Yu has entered.)
Hello. Man Ok.
Hey. Hello, everyone.
- Can you see me? - Yes.
Jimi Yu!
Come on.
(Calm down.)
This is so new.
This is nice.
So it started? Let's do this.
(And in faraway Jeju Island,)
(Lee Hyo Lee and a stranger enter.)
- Cheon Ok. - Jimi Yu.
(A strange man shows up with her.)
Eun Bi. Sil Bi. Cheon Ok.
- Who's that next to Cheon Ok? - Hey, come on.
Hello, everyone.
Who's that guy?
He's my downtown baby.
- Downtown baby? - Downtown baby?
(Is he her live-in boyfriend they heard about?)
His name is George Lee.
- George Lee? - What did you say? George Lee?
- George. - George.
- Hi, George. - George.
- But George is shy, - George.
so he can't talk.
- He can't talk because he's shy? - Really?
He'll play a song to show how excited he is to meet you.
Okay.
(Bold gestures)
(His leather jacket tells he's pretty good.)
- Okay. - You must be very excited.
It looks familiar though.
- He can't talk. - Really?
He's too shy.
You look like a shaggy dog.
(You look like a shaggy dog.)
A shaggy dog? She said you look like a shaggy dog.
Sil Bi.
(Laughing)
- He told you to watch your tongue. - That...
That was quite harsh when we had just met him.
How can you say he looks like a shaggy dog?
Okay.
But by the way, George didn't say anything,
but Cheon Ok understood everything.
We use telepathy to talk.
- Really? But does that really work? - Yes. We don't talk.
- Really? - He doesn't need to talk. Only me.
Of course. I...
Gosh. No. What?
No. Don't say something like that, George.
- So are you going to get married? - Of course.
Did the man next to you agree to that?
- He did? So you guys don't care... - Yes.
- even if people find out, right? - Yes.
(He said he doesn't care.)
He didn't even answer it. Why are you doing that?
- My gosh. Hey. - We used telepathy.
So I have to talk to you guys today. There's so much for me to tell you.
First of all, on papers,
I'm the CEO of Original Entertainment.
I came up with your stage names for the sister theme.
Cheon Ok and Man Ok. Man Ok and Cheon Ok.
- Eun Bi and Sil Bi. - No.
(Eun Bi, Man Ok, Cheon Ok, and Sil Bi)
(George Lee)
Okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
Let me take attendance now.
- What's "attendance"? - Okay.
"Attendance". I'll check attendance.
(Check!)
I'll check "attendance", okay?
- Check. - Check.
Hey, come on.
Cheon Ok.
Jimi! George is hungry. Can he go now?
- Yes. - He's...
He's hungry. Can he go now?
George, go.
- Get lost. George, go. - Go, George.
- Go, George. - George, Go.
Go, George.
- George, bye. - He's out now.
(The tag is hanging.)
George.
Go, George.
Okay. Anyway,
everyone, did you eat? Aren't you hungry?
- Why? - But how... How will we eat?
Is there product placement with the video conferencing?
- This is product placement? - No. It's not product placement.
Everyone, today,
don't you want to eat a home-cooked meal by your mom?
I knew it. So I prepared a home-cooked meal by mothers.
Let's call Mom.
- In 1, 2, 3. - Mom?
- Mom. - Mom?
Mom.
Mom!
(They call out for their moms.)
Oh, my mommy! Come on!
I love it.
(Unwrapping)
(A filming meal)
Although it wasn't actually cooked by my mom,
a lot of effort went into this burger.
My goodness. Let me enjoy this burger.
Let's enjoy it.
- Why aren't we getting the food? - What about us?
Don't you want to eat it?
- Then, I'll deliver it to you. - Hwasa.
I see. This is a whole meal. Hey.
- Come on - What is it?
- They put a lot of love into it. - Hey.
- Jimi. - What is it?
George is asking why we're not getting any food.
Cheon Ok, you live in Jeju Island, so I couldn't send this to you.
(Taking a bite)
(Sil Bi has a bite with a fork.)
(Her eyes open wide.)
(She opens her mouth big.)
(She puts on her gear.)
These days, you have to eat a side dish like this.
A cheese ball.
Did Cheon Ok eat something?
You know what? You're enjoying your food.
- Should we put on a show for you? - Okay.
- Okay. - Okay.
- George, come on. - Let's go.
My gosh, this is good.
- You're hurriedly putting it on. - This is good.
He put on the jacket in a hurry.
(George is back.)
The cheese ball is so good.
I'll sing Man Ok's "Invitation".
Enjoy your food.
(Jung Hwa's famous song, "Invitation")
(When George plucks the strings,)
(she has a bite.)
(Humming)
(I waited for today)
(Cheering)
(For a night like this)
(That song is deliciously good.)
The night you and I will spend together
(It's as if they've been living for 7 years together.)
(You don't have to turn on the light)
(You don't have to say anything)
(Their spontaneous harmony adds more flavors to their food.)
This is nice.
(It feels dangerous)
(And dizzying)
(Burger, come to me.)
(With my love, my smile,)
(My eyes,)
(And my touches,)
(I'll seduce Jimi Yu tonight)
(Hesitant)
(Look at that.)
Until when will you eat?
George, thank you.
Since the four of you are enjoying your food, can we enjoy a kiss?
Yes.
(Flustered)
- By the way... - You can do it.
- Show us. - You're cool with that, right?
We're living together after all.
(Hugging)
You're faking it.
What is that?
- What was that? - That wasn't real.
- Doesn't he have his own opinions? - Hey.
- Yes, he does. - My gosh.
All right. Listen while you eat.
As we discussed the other day,
the four of you should reach an agreement...
and create one of the songs.
And I'll hire someone to write a song...
and pitch it to you.
No.
You can have a listen at least.
Right?
I mean...
George said, "Who are you to talk about music?"
(Chuckling)
George, you're quite different than what I imagined.
I'm their producer.
- George is a straight shooter. - I had them all signed up.
Your girlfriend signed a contract with me, okay?
He said you look like a con artist.
Seriously.
- Right. In the US, - Hang on.
he saw a lot of con artists like you.
Anyway, as I mentioned previously,
I'm the legendary Top 100 Ghost.
Just trust me for once.
If you don't like a song I bring along,
you can have a say then.
- Okay? Can we agree on this? - Yes.
- Okay. - Yes.
- Bring it over then. - You can always say no.
- Let's have a listen first. - You can say no to it.
- Of course. - All right.
Okay? Okay.
Okay?
Okay.
(Choking)
(Whispering)
He said you're such an eyesore.
That makes two of us.
Why are you even wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket?
Seriously.
All right, so that issue has been settled for now.
Regarding your manager, I had the first round of interviews.
Jae Seok, George wants to leave.
Again?
- Come on! - Well...
George, go!
- Gosh. - Go, George.
I've finished the first round of interviews. So if you...
- What about my recommendation? - Who do you mean?
- So Ji Sub? - What about So Ji Sub?
Yes.
We want So Ji Sub.
I'm not sure if he's willing to be a manager.
- Give it a try at least. - Meet with him first.
Why would you give up before you even try?
Then why are you sitting in that position?
If you give up before even trying,
you don't deserve to be in that position.
Gosh, are you trying to pick a fight with me again?
- She's right. - Do I have to do this again?
- I mean... - Really?
Do I really have to do this again?
(Jimi Yu's specialty, Praying Mantis Kung Fu)
(Should I wake up a sleeping mantis?)
(Mimicking his move)
(Munching)
Look, Sil Bi.
Yes?
You've been doing nothing but eating.
No, I've been listening to you.
Sil Bi, are those plastic gloves on your hands?
Yes.
(She put on plastic gloves for her food show.)
Gosh, how thorough she is.
That's professionalism. She's a pro.
Anyway, next week... Listen up.
- We'll have a meeting next week. - Yes.
- I already told you... - What's the point?
- about a one-on-one meeting. - What is the meeting for?
For eating food again?
Gosh, do you really want to have a go with me?
Hey, is that what you want?
(Attacking without touching)
- Come down here. - You want a piece of me?
Come right here.
Gosh, I swear I'll fly down there!
- Right now... - Go and burn in the fire.
- You go and burn in the fire. - Seriously.
Have a fight online.
Gosh, seriously.
- I'll kick your butt someday. - Go ahead and fight.
My gosh.
Anyway, I'll meet each of you individually and...
Why are we gathering next week?
- Officially... - What's the purpose?
I was about to say that!
(Laughing)
- Jimi. - You're driving me crazy.
Don't raise your voice in front of me.
Right. I apologize, Jung Hwa.
- Way to go, Jung Hwa! - I instantly lost it...
since Cheon Ok got a rise out of me.
A producer must embrace all of it.
- Of course. - I know. I'm really sorry.
Gosh, you little.
(Gosh, you little.)
- Well... - What did you just do?
- What? Did you just hit me? - I was just...
Did you just slap me in my face?
- No. - Did you slap me then?
- He video-slapped you. - You slapped my face, didn't you?
That's not it. I was just trying to catch a fly.
That's just unbelievable.
Anyhow...
(A fly swatter shows up.)
(Her power is going up with the weapon.)
Jimi.
(His upgraded move, mantis kick)
(Kicking and slapping)
- I ought to kill that grasshopper. - Stop, Jimi.
Seriously, you really have to see my Praying Mantis Kung Fu moves?
My gosh.
Praying Mantis Kung Fu, my foot. Here's my fly swatter.
All right.
This is brilliant. I love it.
- Sil Bi - What is that, Hwasa?
- That was so inappropriate. - For product placement.
- Even for product placement. - She's amazing.
- She's doing a food show. - It's product placement.
Gosh, seriously.
All right, everyone.
You'll be surprised to hear who I was meeting with.
They are big shots in the music industry.
- Are they really big shots? - Jimi.
I have something big too.
What is it?
Oh, you know someone too?
(Big hand)
- Please don't do that, Jung Hwa. - My gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
- You should get slapped too. - Oh, my gosh.
Thank goodness we aren't on air.
Come on, Man Ok.
You should be thankful this isn't airing right now.
My goodness.
I'll just say one word, "SM".
"SM"? Did you have a meeting with Lee Soo Man?
Everyone calls him sir or chairman.
But I'm on a first-name basis with him.
Let me say just that much.
Okay.
Anyway, if it is necessary,
I'll have a one-on-one talk with each of you.
Come to think of it,
each one of you has something to work on.
This will be an opportunity for you to have...
a customized consulting or training.
- It'll be beneficial to your group. - Promise me
- Well then, everyone. - Yes.
We will wrap this up for now.
Bye, Eun Bi.
- Bye, Sil Bi. - See you, guys.
- Bye, Cheon Ok. - See you, Man Ok.
- That's right. - Bye.
- Say goodbye to George for me. - See you.
- Bye. - Okay.
- George. - Bye.
George said goodbye.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
- Bye. - Goodbye, Jimi.
Goodbye.
(Refund Sisters, produced by Jimi Yu)
(It gives off the Joseon Dynasty's atmosphere.)
(Jimi Yu's another subleased office)
(He gently grinds an ink stick on the inkstone.)
(His fingers are moving with the utmost care.)
(The key point of his outfit today is a baby tiger.)
(He carefully writes each stroke with a brush.)
(As befits someone from Harvard, his calligraphy is brilliant.)
Mr. Jimi Yu.
(Eun Bi turns up.)
Come on.
What are you doing?
(Eun Bi came to see Jimi Yu.)
- Well, Jessi. - Yes?
Thank you.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll go and get my veneer fixed.
- I told you it was wobbly. - Right.
- They're going to fix it. - Who?
My dental clinic. They watched the show.
- Your dental clinic? - Yes, they will fix it.
Come on!
That's great. Teeth are really important.
- Did you get veneers done? - Here... What?
- Did you? - Who would...
Who would get veneers done like this?
- That's right. - Jessi!
Who would want them crooked like this?
- Right? - But still, don't do it.
Gosh, I won't.
His teeth are so adorable.
What's so adorable about crooked teeth?
It's cute. That's part of your charm.
Gosh, seriously.
It's so cute.
You remember the other day when you gathered...
with all other members of Refund Sisters after a long time?
I couldn't help but notice...
you didn't seem to understand the contract properly.
(Last week, Refund Sisters reviewed their contract.)
(All the difficult terms on the contract...)
(made Eun Bi go silent.)
I didn't understand anything.
I didn't understand a single word.
- Not a single word? - No.
This kind of thing is unacceptable for Original Entertainment.
That's why I'm meeting you in private, okay?
- You invited no one but me? - Of course.
I would like to provide for each member's needs.
That's what I'm going for as a producer.
Gosh, I'm so moved.
Come on.
You're just amazing.
Come on, Jessi.
- Thank you for caring about me. - That's why...
Okay, let me read it word by word for you.
I'm going to read some words you might not understand.
- All right. - Okay?
- Yes, please. - All right.
Well, okay.
Do you know the word "proactive"?
- Proactive. - Prostate?
- Proactive. - What about the prostate?
It's not "prostate".
That's P-R-O-S-T-A-T-E.
This is P-R-O-A-C-T-I-V-E.
- Okay? - Proactive.
- That's right. - Proactive.
The next word is "candidly".
- I've heard of it quite often. - I knew it.
But I don't know what it means.
(When they wrote up the draft contract,)
(Candy?)
(this word put Jimi Yu and Eun Bi in jeopardy.)
Let's forget the whole thing. Since we're here together,
let's talk to each other candidly.
Does it mean "seriously"?
- Gosh, no. - Well...
- Jokingly? - No.
- Half-jokingly? - No.
Watch my hands.
Let's talk to each other candidly.
(Tapping the chest like this?)
(He's not flexing his muscles.)
With an open heart.
That's right. That's it.
- Getting everything off your chest. - That's right.
Let's get everything off our chests...
and have a conversation with an open heart.
- I love "candidly". - That's the meaning.
"I love 'candidly'."
- Candidly. - "I love..."
- Being a candy is important. - Right.
It's "candid", not "candy".
Being candid is important because...
It's an adjective, not a noun.
It's not a noun.
- This is frustrating. - You should say "being candid".
- Do you get it? - "Being a candy".
That's right.
("Being a candy")
It's "being candid", not "being a candy".
"Candid"?
C-A-N-D-I-D. Six letters.
- I-D? - Yes, I-D.
"Candid".
- "Candid". - "Candid".
- That's right. - Okay, let's go.
- Let's study. Let's go. - Are you okay with it?
So I prepared a few things.
We'll have a dictation test. Is that okay?
Let's go.
- Okay, let's go. - So you'll take a dictation test.
"He is big."
- He is... - Big.
- Big? - B-I-G.
- B-I... - B-I-G.
B-I-G.
- G? - Yes, G.
- G? - G.
Is it K?
B-I-G.
Is it D?
B-I-G.
(Mouthing)
Double K?
B-I-G?
- He is B-I-G. - It must be R.
B-I-G.
- He is B-I-G. - B-I-G.
He is B-I-G.
- B-I-G? - I can't tell you everything.
- This is a spelling test. - I know!
- B-I-G. - B-I-G!
- In that case... - He is B-I-G.
Are there two Is?
B-I-G.
He is big.
I think I'm the only one who is tired.
- Hey. - Goodness.
- Hey, come on. - You're a great teacher.
(Teacher?)
Okay.
"You are really lazy."
Goodness.
It gets harder.
"You are really lazy."
You are...
Is it U?
L-A-Z-Y.
This is very good.
Very good indeed.
(His accent suggests he lived abroad quite some time.)
Okay. Next.
Were you soaked through?
(Were you soaked thru?)
No, that's not it.
Were you soaked through?
Is it D?
T-H-R-O-U-G-H.
T-H-R-O-U.
What?
(Were you soaked throu?)
Why?
That's the wrong spelling.
T-H-R-O-U-G-H.
- I know! It's O-U-G-H. - Come on!
- Good job! - Yes!
- You should've explained better. - You surprised me.
Goodness.
I was so shocked to see your spelling.
It sounded like "throu".
(This 1 to 1 lesson is finally showing results.)
"It makes me frown."
Did you say this was a first-grader level?
Second graders.
I've never heard of this phrase. First graders...
Don't you know this expression?
(Exclaiming)
Have you never heard this before?
(Flustered)
Is this your first time?
Is this it?
No.
Is this what frowning means? No.
What's wrong?
- My legs fell asleep. - Help him.
It's fine.
Somebody call an emergency!
I can take care of it by myself.
It's so painful. My pelvis.
Goodness.
"It makes me frown."
Don't you know what frowning means?
- I don't know. - It's something like this.
(He demonstrates an example.)
(Frowning)
What's wrong?
- This is frowning. - Your eyes...
- Exactly. - When you frown...
- When you do this. - Exactly.
That's frowning.
- It makes me... - Frown.
- It makes me frown. - Frown.
Something like drown?
- Frown. - Frown it is.
"It makes me frown."
I'm kind of confident about this.
Let's check if you got them correct.
"You are big."
I repeated this many times.
- You forgot this. - Why is it spelled that way?
B-I-G.
This was a difficult one, but you got it correct.
See? Don't look down on Korean Americans.
Next question. You also got this correct.
You forgot this for this one.
F-R-O-W-N.
Let's see.
You did better than expected.
- Come on! - Come on, that's good!
Jessi...
I'm sure you get confused about these things often.
Do you know about Korean idioms?
No.
Idioms have different meanings.
They're phrases that typically...
present a figurative meaning.
Okay. Please teach me some.
This totally makes me stick out my tongue.
Stick out?
Stick out my tongue.
My tongue...
(Sticking out his tongue)
Is it something risque?
No.
No, that's not it.
This sounds strange. It sounds risque.
He was sticking and twisting his tongue like this.
- That's not it. - It's not?
It means it's too shocking that makes your jaw drop.
I know, but people don't talk about sticking out their tongues.
In Korean, we say to stick out your tongue.
It's my first time hearing it since I was first born in this world.
It's the first time in this world for all of us here.
You aren't the only one who was born here for the first time.
- Okay? - Yes, I understand.
Sticking out your tongue.
Try to use this in a sentence.
When you watch Jessi on stage, you can't help but stick out.
(Laughing)
Okay. Pass!
- Pass. - Yes.
My stomach hurts.
Do you need to use the restroom?
That's not it.
Hear me out. It's an idiom.
"One's stomach aches when a cousin buys a land."
A person's head got bigger.
- No. - I heard about it somewhere.
- Think about it. - Your stomach hurts.
Your cousin bought a piece of land.
- But... - But your stomach hurts? Jealousy!
- Okay, come on. - Yes!
- Yes! - Jessi!
- Good job. - See?
I know a little.
- Come on. - Amazing.
- Okay. Let's go. Come on. - "My buttocks start to get itchy...
from sitting in one place for too long."
Mine too.
That's not what I meant.
It's a continuation.
I was getting itchy too.
- I'm sweating. - I know. Me too.
- I can't take this off, right? - Hold on.
- But... - Hear me out first.
I've been sitting down for a long time.
My body is getting itchy.
Now I get it.
For example...
I can't participate in any events due to COVID-19.
I'm forced to stay at home, so my body is getting itchy.
- Right? - That's correct, Jessi! Come on!
Yes, my goodness.
What about "spicy hands"?
"Spicy hands"? I heard this a lot.
I usually hit people when I laugh.
- Come on! - They say, "You have spicy hands."
- Come on! Let's go! - That's right!
Keep going.
- Your hands are spicy. - Yes.
Spicy.
- Come on. - Let's do another one.
"You have a short mouth."
Goodness. A short mouth?
It's when you eat. Can you give me an example?
Gosh.
- Can you give me an example? - A short mouth.
Goodness.
(He demonstrates for her.)
Exactly. You are very picky.
- You don't eat a lot. - You don't eat a lot.
- That's right. - Yes! Come on!
Let's go! Bring in more. Let's do more.
Mouth is short.
Yes, come on.
What about this one? "Your ears are thin."
Thin ears? I can tell you what it is.
I have thin ears.
"Jessi, it's pretty." "Jessi, this is pretty."
- Come on! - Let's go.
That's correct.
- Yes! - Yes!
Gosh, it hurts.
- This is spicy hands! - Yes! Come on!
- Your hands are very spicy. - Very spicy.
- Come on. - Goodness.
- Goodness. - I'm doing good today.
"You have big hands."
- Big hands? - Yes. Big hands.
- Big hands? - Big hands.
My mom has big hands.
- When she cooks, she cooks a lot. - Come on!
Yes!
I'm very good at Korean!
(She tears up.)
She knows everything!
- She knows everything. - Am I correct?
My mom has big hands.
- Jessi. - She's a small person but...
Jessi, "don't drink the kimchi soup..."
even before Refund Sisters formally begins.
Doesn't it mean don't get a big head too soon?
Something similar.
But it's a little different.
Kimchi soup?
Kimchi soup is spicy.
You must eat kimchi first before the soup.
True.
Am I correct?
How come no one's answering me?
At least you can nod.
Don't mind them.
I'm not done yet.
Refund Sisters didn't even officially begin yet.
How can you say those things too soon?
I see! You expect too much.
- Okay. - Yes?
- Come on. - Come on!
- Don't get too ahead of yourself. - Goodness.
- Don't get too ahead. - Exactly.
Where are you looking?
- Over there. Yes. - Right.
I'm good at this. Let's do more.
Remember what you'd say in this kind of situation?
- You, Jimi Yu. - Yes.
You aren't the official boss yet.
Don't drink kimchi soup now.
Is it what this means?
- I'm so excited. - Yes.
Anyways, Jessi's...
Korean language ability is much better than expected.
I think you improved a lot.
- I think it did. - Exactly.
I improved a lot because of him.
- What do you mean? - I film a lot of shows with him.
I am forced to improve.
You need to practice more.
You also must practice speaking to improve English.
Exactly. That's why your English improved a lot too.
What do you mean?
Your English improved a lot.
(Eun Bi acknowledges his Harvard-style English.)
Such an improvement!
(The producer is embarrassed.)
Okay.
Anyways, Jessi...
Thank you for your time today. See you again soon.
Jae Seok. I have a funny story.
After the last episode,
about three women named Eun Bi messaged me.
- Really? - They did.
They were thanking me for choosing their name.
See? I told you Eun Bis would like it.
Wouldn't Hyun Jus like it if I use Hyun Ju?
The conversation will never end that way.
You climb one mountain then another, right?
What is it?
Are you looking down on me?
- I'm not. - You should know this too.
Mountain...
- What is it? - Mountain...
- You climb a mountain. - You climb a mountain?
Yes.
Mountain...
You climb one mountain, then climb another mountain.
Climb multiple mountains? I see, one hardship after another.
Yes. Hardship after another.
- I see. - That's a good one.
- This is really... - I think...
This was my idea.
Hardship landing.
I think this program is a little like this.
(Laughing)
This program is about one hardship after another.
- You use it well. - I know, right?
After climbing one mountain, there's another mountain.
You're right.
