(These days, we miss the blue sky we used to see at ease.)
(The five men who will take care of our laughter on Sunday evenings)
I gritted my teeth this morning.
Seung Gi. It will work no matter what.
- It will work. - It will.
(It's essential to clean their hands before accomplishing the mission.)
- Clean your hands. - I already did.
I always get dead skin when I use this.
(Laughing)
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
If your temperature is a bit high, you should go home.
Or if you don't feel good.
He's wearing two masks.
(He finds a production staff wearing two masks.)
He's that scared.
(It feels so funny and sad at the same time.)
This is nice from time to time. There aren't many people.
It feels small.
Only the chosen have entered.
What's the biggest difference between the streets in 2019...
and the streets in 2020?
- The mask. - It's the mask.
- The mask. - The mask and...
there are fewer people on the streets.
- Yes. - Right.
(The same street in Myeong-dong)
(It looks so different.)
(We can't see one another's face...)
(and get used not to spend time together.)
You can barely find anyone...
- who is not wearing a mask outside. - Yes.
There are many videos of people not wearing a mask...
fighting people wearing a mask.
- Why? - They blame those...
who aren't wearing it.
- Like on the bus. - That too.
It happened in the subway too. You can find them online.
Yesterday morning, one man...
(Quarrels on wearing masks led to violence.)
- Goodness. - That is...
Has it been six months since COVID-19?
But so much has changed.
Right.
How come there's no...
vaccine yet?
- Isn't it... - The whole world is working on it.
Some place is announcing the third clinical test at the end of August.
About eight places around the world are on the third clinical test.
- The third clinical test? - Yes.
I've been watching the news often lately.
Plus, they've done the plasma test...
on 70,000 people.
They'll release 20,000 people in November.
We connect in current affairs.
(Why do they have to shake hands for that?)
(All right. I looked smart after a long time.)
As you wore it today,
masks and sanitizers are...
- necessary now. - Yes.
There was even a mask crisis due to insufficient supply.
- Right. People lined up. - Right.
People lined up...
- because there were no masks. - We lined up to buy it.
- Just a few months ago... - We paid extra to buy it.
We could buy it only on certain days.
We could buy masks only on certain days.
- Right. - It was Tuesday for me.
(It was Tuesday for me.)
Master in the House shoots every Tuesday.
I couldn't line up. I had to save the masks.
I bought a sanitizer for 30 dollars...
at the very beginning of COVID-19.
I tried to buy it again for a gift,
but it went up 20 dollars.
- Right. - When...
we went to Master Se Ri's house,
- Right. - there was a sanitizer.
- That was... - That's right.
Before COVID-19, it was...
- 9 dollars or something. - Right.
A month after COVID-19,
- it was 120 dollars. - Right.
- That's right. - So I posted it on the group chat.
The price was ridiculous.
(Some retailers abused the short supply.)
("No Trade Ethics before Money... The Mask Price Is Skyrocketing")
("The Masks Are Sold out... Citizens Feel Nervous")
One seller sells sanitizers four times more expensive than usual,
and wrote that the explosive purchases...
makes him full even when he doesn't eat.
Some sellers are using consumers' anxiety to secure products...
to make excessive profits.
(The mask price is rising like that of the Bitcoin.)
When everyone raised the prices,
someone sold the masks for 70 cents,
and sanitizers for half the price.
(A company also cut the price for hand sanitizers.)
- A nice company. - Yes, so today,
we're going to meet the CEO of that company.
We should compliment him.
- We should tell everyone about him. - At the time...
There was a list on the Internet...
of companies that we should make them rich..
for acting conscientiously during that time.
- Instead of scolding them... - Scold them with money.
Scold them with money.
- Teach them a lesson with money. - Teach them a lesson with money.
That we should buy their products.
That's a funny expression.
These are articles on those...
who should get scolded with money.
(Heartwarming news with comments on a good company)
"B Company Donated Snacks..."
- "to Screening Centers". - Oh, that company.
"Let's teach them a lesson with our money."
(B Company Donated Snacks to Screening Centers)
- "How nice of them." - Seriously.
"We should scold them with money." That means...
They're amazing because...
they're probably struggling too.
- Right. - A lot of good things happened.
There are many wonderful people.
Right? Look at this.
"700,000 Dollars Earned by Shoe Shining for 50 Years".
"Mr. Kim donates that money for COVID-19."
(50 years?)
(700,000 dollars?)
("Donation of 700,000 Dollars Earned by Shoe Shining to Neighbors")
People who make a living day by day.
Or self-employed people who are struggling.
I want the money to go to them.
- How... - 50 years?
(It's hard to estimate how much he cares for others.)
700,000 dollars?
It's actually impossible.
"I feel woozy."
"It's not like it was easy to make 700,000 dollars."
"I respect you and thank you."
I want to meet him.
It's not easy to donate all that you have.
- Right. - I want to meet him in person.
That could change my life.
My way of thinking.
Let's have Mr. Kim as our master.
Right. We should.
He's the best master.
That's what you call positive influence.
- I agree. - Yes.
Today's master...
was scolded with money too.
This is an article about his company.
(News on the master's company)
"Company Reduces the Price of Mask During the Mask Crisis".
"As the mask crisis occurs due to COVID-19,"
"they sold 1-dollar masks as buy 2 get 1 free for 70 cents."
That's like a convenience store.
It says this here.
"The COVID-19 Hero's Business Philosophy Surprises the World".
"When COVID-19 patients increased in Daegu,"
"he held a campaign to donate sanitizers."
"When a consumer buys 3 sanitizers..."
"and pays an extra dollar, an extra sanitizer was donated..."
"under the consumer's name."
(Donation of 1 hand sanitizer under the customer's name)
That's awesome.
"The Small Hero of COVID-19, the Story of CEO Park."
"We should buy more of their products for them to suffer."
"We should make them think of what to do with extra money."
"That's right."
"That's right. We shouldn't even give them time to spend money."
"That's what you call a wonderful businessman."
"These people deserve to hit the jackpot."
(Who's today's master who deserves to be rich?)
That's an interesting expression.
The master who didn't want to make money...
by costing lives...
went beyond getting compliments for a good company.
He also attracts attention for his unique corporate culture.
I'll hold it.
What is that?
(Why does he show pictures of abundant food suddenly?)
- Isn't that bossam? - Suyuk? Bossam?
It's a combination of Korean, Chinese and Japanese food.
Is he in the food industry?
Maybe he donated masks to Korea, China, and Japan.
Are we finally having Baek Jong Won today?
(Is Master Baek Jong Won finally coming?)
That's the picture of cafeteria food...
in the master's company.
(The menu in the master's company cafeteria)
(Have you heard about a royal table in the cafeteria?)
That's nice.
It's not just nice. That's like a buffet.
I haven't tried that yet in my life.
- Dongpo? - Dongpo pork?
- Me neither. - You should treat us soon.
- You should buy us Dongpo pork. - Why me?
Come on.
Those fried tofu rice balls aren't regular.
- What is this? - There's something in the middle.
- What is this? - What is it?
Taste it.
(Eating)
What is it?
What does it taste like?
- It tastes like paper. - Paper?
- Paper? - Paper?
- It's salmon. - It's made with salmon.
- Fried tofu rice ball with salmon. - There's salmon.
There's fried tofu rice ball with salmon?
It's healthy and tasty.
Is this company even real?
Here's the second hint.
- What is it? - This must be a present.
- It's a ring. - Five gold rings.
- They're gold rings. - What are these?
They're definitely gold rings.
- Really? - Isn't it?
Is that real gold?
It's real gold.
Don't people use it for first-birthday parties?
You're right.
The master gives these to the employees...
when they pass the 100th day.
(Solid-gold ring to commemorate their 100 days of coming to work)
- As a company benefit? - Yes.
How much is gold these days?
It's 300 dollars for 3.75g.
- That costs 300 dollars? - It's 300 dollars per 3.75g.
- This one ring? - The cost went up.
- But... - If they get this for working...
only 100 days, that's 3 months.
It's like a bonus after three months.
They get 300 dollars' worth of gold.
How much money does this company make?
They give you that food,
sell hand sanitizers at a discounted price,
sell masks cheaper,
and give you this.
What kind of company is it?
(Who's the CEO that can do all this?)
The last hint.
- All right. - In 1, 2, 3.
"Project 10,000 Dollars at Your Disposal."
Project 10,000 Dollars at Your Disposal?
(Project 10,000 Dollars at Your Disposal)
Ten thousand dollars?
They give you 10,000 dollars?
That's 10,000 dollars.
(The best company benefit of all)
(All employees...)
(get 10,000 dollars without a hitch!)
(Is the master practicing magic?)
"If it's not spent..."
"until December 31st, 2020,"
"the amount will be deducted from your next year's salary."
- If you don't use it? - If you don't use it,
the money will be deducted next year.
- So you have to use it. - You have to use it.
What kind of company is this?
"Notes for the project."
"The result of the project, whether a success or a failure,"
"will be presented at the end of the year."
So the company is supporting...
your ideas for businesses.
- Right. - They're liberal with investments.
That's amazing.
When I go to my agency,
they're gluing the receipts...
on the fifth floor.
But they just give you 10,000 dollars.
No interim report is needed, right?
No monthly reports?
And it's okay to fail?
(It's okay to fail.)
"If I were the boss, I would have done this."
The master wants them to try all those things.
And something good can come out.
If a newcomer says...
he has an idea for the 10,000 dollars,
- he just gets it? - Yes.
That's awesome.
The master's management philosophy is,
"Let's prove that a company is able to grow..."
"while carrying out the social responsibilities."
Grow while carrying out the social responsibilities?
The title of today's master...
in the company is...
"Boss."
- Boss? - Boss?
- Boss. - The captain.
You will go to the boss's office to meet the master.
(To the boss's office!)
The boss's office?
- Let's go. - Shall we?
I wonder who it is.
I haven't heard that title since Seo Taiji.
- This looks like... - So it's this person.
the plaque cabinet in Park Se Ri's house.
I know. There are so many.
There are so many awards.
(Ta-da.)
Look at them.
(The plaques and trophies fill one side of the wall.)
There are so many awards.
Grand Award of Korea's Coexistent Development.
Korea Innovation Award.
The Best Brand of Seoul.
This Year's Best Seller.
(The proof of healthy growth while being socially responsible)
The government doesn't give this to you that easily.
- They have all the criteria. - Right.
Even a hole-in-one.
- A hole-in-one? - It's here.
Its importance must be equivalent to that...
of Grand Award of Korea's Coexistent Development.
That has to be put here.
What is that? There's a claw machine.
- What? - Why is it here?
Is it for fun?
Is it back here?
Check this out.
- Paid-holiday coupon, gift card, - Awesome.
a meal with the boss, a hotel voucher, a fruit gift set.
A meal with the boss is the dud.
Is it the dud?
A meal with the boss.
You get those prizes if you get a certain doll.
If you get a stuffed tiger, you get this.
- That's amazing. - Paid-holiday coupon is the best.
- That's amazing. - That's the best.
Let's see.
Let's find the boss.
Where is the boss?
It says, "CCO, Boss."
- CCO? - What's a CCO?
There's a CEO and a COO.
What does the E stand for in CEO?
Executive.
It's probably "execetube."
- Did you just swear? - Probably.
Probably.
- Didn't we learn last time? - What does it mean?
Chief Executive...
(Eyes shaking)
(Should I go outside?)
(Restless)
(Should I pretend to work?)
(Heart palpitating)
(I'm coming out soon. Calm down, heart.)
Isn't this the boss's office?
- The boss's office. - Oh, hello!
(He was thinking of how he should sit.)
- Are you the boss? - Hello, Boss.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
(He fails to appear in a cool manner.)
- Nice to meet you. - It's a pleasure.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm the boss, Park In Chul.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
The color of your suit is...
(Our hero is dressed up.)
(The silver spoon of good deeds, today's master)
(I had no spoon.)
(His family was so poor,)
(he tried everything back in the days.)
(2 computers in the main room of his house)
(That small dream became...)
(He spent 6,000 dollars to start and sold 8 million dollars in a year.)
(The daily sales...)
(went up to 100,000 dollars.)
(The success story told by Boss Park)
(Revealing Boss Park's know-how?)
(How to own a building!)
(The story of how he started...)
(Pandora TV earlier than YouTube)
(Revealing his trade secret!)
(The ultimate goal of the products during the COVID-19 pandemic)
(We stop selling products.)
(The mask crisis spread...)
(with COVID-19.)
(The price of disinfection products have soared.)
(Manners beat COVID-19.)
(Wishing to stop selling them with the end of COVID-19,)
(these are the masks Kim Bo Sung distributed for free.)
("Discounted sale on masks during the crisis")
("A good company that sells hand sanitizers for half price")
(The success story from no spoon)
(Boss Park In Chul)
It's a pleasure to meet you, Boss Park.
- Boss Park In Chul. - It's an honor.
Should we call you the boss?
No. I'll give you my card first.
- Sure. - It's my card in this company.
Thank you.
- This is fun. - That's amazing.
On his name card...
His hobby and dream.
"Hobby: Scuba diving, water plants, and thinking."
"Dream: Make as many businessmen as I can."
That's what it reads.
(Dreams and hobbies on a name card?)
I've never seen these written on a name card.
- Never. - What made you write these?
You need to be memorable when you give a name card.
(Being memorable is the key.)
I can tell them about my dreams and hobbies.
And if someone shares the same hobby,
it's much easier to bond.
(Bonding by sharing their dreams and hobbies)
- Really? - This is something.
I got your name card, and your hobby and dream...
were written at the top.
Even if you're meeting for the first time, this could...
lead to other topics.
- Right. - You can break the ice.
When there's a concert, you put like a decoy...
- A decoy. - to break the ice at first.
- I think people could read this... - Yes.
and get familiar with you.
- It says, "CCO." - Yes.
Isn't it the CEO?
Usually, you're a chief executive officer.
The CEO has 99 percent of power among the executives.
But when I run a company,
I thought if only the CEO's decisions help...
the company to grow.
I thought that the right tool that suits me to make a company larger...
was culture.
- Culture? - So it's Chief Culture...
Yes, you're very quick.
- Culture? - Yes.
- Culture. - I want our company...
to have the culture where all team leaders...
can work like the executives.
- That's my goal. - He's different.
So my title is CCO.
- He's different. - Is there a reason...
you're calling us team leaders?
In our company, the team leaders are aged...
from 65 to 24.
- They're all team leaders. - No deputy chief or employee?
- No. - What about a director?
- A commanding officer? - No.
(They have no ranking system.)
- They're all team leaders? - Really?
(Impressed)
The representative director represents the directors.
But they're all team leaders.
So I'm a representative team leader that represents team leaders.
(Representative team leader)
At first...
- Do they add, "sir"? - Never.
No. And I just call them team leaders.
They just call me Boss.
Then...
- Boss. - Then does the youngest member...
call you, "Boss!"
"Boss, give me the card."
They would say that.
By the way, what kind of company is this?
This company?
"What kind of company is this?"
(What kind of company is this?)
- He's got a point though. - Right.
We have a rough idea of what you sell.
- Do you? - But what do you exactly sell?
I'm a little flustered by this, but we sell Wow.
- Wow? - Wow?
- The gum? - Wow.
The chewing gum?
- Wow. - Wow.
We sell products that can wow people.
We sell products that can make can be happy...
and make their lives more worthwhile.
It's a company that sells wowing sports beauty products.
That's not what we are asking. Tell us what you really sell.
Stop putting on a show.
Tell us what you really sell.
When you go to a highway rest stop,
we sell products that have Park Chan Ho's face on them.
- The cream. - Yes.
- The cream that produces heat. - I've used it many times.
Chan Ho had sent me that cream as a gift.
Right. We launched that product six years ago.
Now that there's a COVID-19 outbreak,
we sell masks and hand sanitizers.
- Right. - Hand sanitizers.
"An extra sanitizer was donated under the consumer's name."
That's really amazing.
People say your company need to be scolded with money.
- You've heard that, haven't you? - I have.
Do you know what our goals are for the COVID-19-related products?
What are your goals?
(What are their goals for the COVID-19-related products?)
To stop selling the products.
- What? - Truly.
- We... - You want this outbreak to end.
(He hopes that we won't need disease control products anymore.)
There's another goal. By selling the products...
at a lower price in the market,
we hope other manufacturers...
would join us.
That's why we priced our products lower.
(He wants the market to be a healthy one.)
You really need to be scolded with money.
(My goodness.)
He should become very successful.
(Laughing shyly)
But it's like this.
Before I even realized it, this became...
the talk of the town and received a lot of attention abroad.
And we signed a lot of exporting deals.
("Company Signs a 30-million-dollar Deal with China")
- It's because Korea is... - You're successful internationally.
He deserves to be applauded.
Seong Rok, why don't you scold him?
Should I teach you a lesson?
(Should I teach you a lesson?)
Should I teach you a lesson?
Today, the five of you came to meet me...
as your master, even though I'm lacking. So I...
(Taking out something)
- You keep taking out things. - I prepared...
- He keeps taking out things. - I will...
I will give you five empty business cards.
Think about your dream and hobbies...
and write them on the card.
- It says "Team Leader". - Yes.
Thank you. I'm a team leader.
- Yes. - Thank you.
I'm a marketer.
- A marketer? - Yes.
Everyone in my company writes their dreams and hobbies on their cards.
(They write their dreams and hobbies on their cards.)
If you write your dream and hobbies which can give you...
a good work-life balance,
you will be given a fund you can use for your dream and hobbies.
Really?
One staff's dream was becoming a building owner.
- That's his dream? - Yes.
Dream and hobbies. How will you support his dream?
If he works hard for five years,
(Can he become a building owner when he works just 5 years?)
I will teach him a know-how to become a building owner.
What?
(He must be all relaxed now.)
- My dream is... - It's nice.
- Are you done writing? - Yes.
Can you read it then?
Should I start?
Boss Yang.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Here's my card. - Right.
Your hobby is going fishing.
Yes.
Your dream is an angler.
I think we would be a really good match.
Do you want to hear what I wrote?
(Hobby: Walking, fishing, playing games, and cooking)
His hobby is walking, going fishing, playing games, and cooking.
- Going fishing? - I like going fishing too.
(They both love going fishing.)
I am sorry. We are supposed to do this instead.
(This is how you do it these days.)
(Right.)
His dream is to visit all the good restaurants in Korea.
My hobby is to visit good restaurants.
- I am... - Who are you?
- Excuse me. - I am Team Leader Lee Seung Gi.
As soon as you two met, you found a common ground.
His hobby is yoga, working out,
listening to music, and finding good restaurants.
Right.
His dream is...
(When I look back at my life at the age of 90...)
When I look back at my life at the age of 90,
I want to be a person who is highly praised for his life.
(That's great.)
- I... - I don't like serious people.
(It's much faster to destroy the bond than to build one.)
- Gosh. - How realistic.
We have something in common.
- I love working out too. - What is it?
- What kind of workouts do you do? - I...
do all kinds.
I love all workouts that make me sweat.
- CrossFit too? - I love it.
(They both love working out.)
Your dream is becoming a CEO who has a glass-walled office...
on the top floor of a big building.
(He didn't get to reach the top of the UFC.)
(So he wants to be at the top of a building.)
But it will be hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
You have to think about that.
- Right. I should get curtains. - It would be too hot.
By the way, there's someone who is keeping it to himself.
Keeping it to himself.
Who are you?
You can give it to me.
Hello. I am Team Leader Cha Eun Woo.
His face shines.
His hobby is soccer, basketball, and planning.
I am the chairman of College Basketball Association.
(They are both basketball people.)
Let's stop bragging about yourself.
(He's just joking.)
During the job interview of my company,
there's a part where you have to brag about yourself for a minute.
There's something like that?
Really?
- You have to brag about yourself. - Really?
You get eliminated if you act too modest.
Really?
(You get eliminated if you act too modest.)
- Really? - Let's try that.
- Let's try that. - Let's try that.
One minute is quite long.
- But don't worry about it. - You can't do that.
- We are... - You have to fill one minute.
- We will be really good. - You have to do it for a minute.
I'm sure we will.
(Why is he so confident?)
Wait.
I've never seen someone...
who's so confident about this.
You just have to say the truth. That's bragging.
A minute isn't enough for him. We should give him an hour.
- He needs an hour. - He always brags anyway.
- But... - A minute is too short.
You do it for a minute and...
(Many applicants failed to do it for 1 minute.)
Ready. Start.
I am not the most handsome person.
But I give a good impression.
When I smile,
the ladies around my mother's age, the ladies in their 50s...
support me wholeheartedly.
- And... - He gives a good impression?
(Seung Gi is good.)
I sing quite well too.
Did you watch the recent YouTube video?
You didn't watch the video of me singing "Forbidden Love"?
- I watched it. - "Forbidden Love".
It was watched by five million people.
- Five million people. - An d he was one of them.
(He was 1 of 5.18 million people.)
I always treat people to a meal.
To strengthen the bond...
To unite the team members together, I always treat them to meals.
I do that well.
- And I am athletic. - You have 10 seconds.
- I am healthy. - It's longer than I imagined.
- And... - He's healthy.
My energy level doesn't change from the moment I show up...
to the moment I go home.
- You pass. - I passed.
(You will be my colleague.)
(Seung Gi is good.)
Here's what's important.
You have to finish in the given time.
(You have to finish in the given time.)
You shouldn't just go on and on.
I am talking about my 30s.
Do you want me to brag about myself during my 20s?
(Do you want me to brag about myself during my 20s?)
I was only talking about my 30s.
That was about the recent four years of my life.
Okay.
- Dong Hyun. - This is hard.
Start.
First of all, I...
You spent five seconds.
I have thick hair. I have thick hair.
- Here's the second one. - Hair, hair.
I have a high level of male hormones.
I got a checkup to prepare for pregnancy,
and I was elected as the king.
- The king. - 15 to 20 times more than others.
- Wait. - All right.
In my life, nobody has ever picked a fight with me.
He doesn't need to hire a security guard.
I don't need one.
- Just by me being there... - You're halfway there.
There's peace wherever I am.
Even at bars, nothing bad happened.
So... That's it.
Right.
(He ran out of things to brag about at 40 seconds.)
- You are out. - I'm out.
- There's nothing to say. - Wait.
- What am I supposed to say? - You should've bragged more.
Why...
You should've talked about...
He spent 40 seconds to brag about his sperm.
(That's the only thing he could remember.)
He bragged about his sperm for 40 seconds.
We will hire you when we launch an energy drink.
(They will hire him when they launch an energy drink.)
Am I eliminated then?
(His hormones passed, but he didn't pass the interview.)
- All right. - Eun Woo. Ready and go.
Recently, I went to a highway rest stop.
I saw a product with a tiger on it...
and became interested.
- You pass. - I wanted to know...
What?
I got curious about the company. So I looked up...
and got interested. That's why I applied to work here.
He lied for 15 seconds straight.
(He lied for 15 seconds straight.)
Since I was young,
I was a class leader every year. I was the student president too.
I gained the ability to lead people.
Also, I have the ability to communicate with people.
I've been doing that. Also...
I debuted as a member of a group called ASTRO.
Our fans from...
all over the world will support me.
So if you give me a chance to work here,
I will do my best to contribute to the success of the company.
Right.
(A little more.)
Cheers.
(Cheers!)
There's a product I could launch with him.
(He aims to expand his abroad and hires Eun Woo.)
Seung Gi is amazing.
- Come on. Don't mention it. - He said...
he was the student president in both middle and high school.
Why would you say that aloud? I just wanted you to know.
- No. No. - You are...
making me get embarrassed.
(I'm embarrassed.)
It's...
If you are that embarrassed, we will edit this part out.
What? But we need to make sure we've got enough.
We have to keep it just in case.
- How do you do that? - You just...
(How do you become the student president?)
I never even voted.
Who elects the student president?
I've never heard about having an election for a student president.
Did my school not have one?
- No way. - Seriously.
- My school didn't have one. - They elect one every year.
They have one every year.
- They have 1 every year. - They have 1 every year.
- They never told me. - Every year...
(They never told him.)
(It's a very original way of hiring talent.)
It's very original.
It's fascinating.
Many people want to start a business,
but they get scared.
You wonder how successful people became successful.
I heard you began in a basement with 6,000 dollars.
Actually, 6,000 dollars...
was the money I got as a severance pay from my previous job.
I didn't have money to start a new business.
I asked my mother to lend me her bedroom.
I bought two computers and started the company with another person.
At that time,
I knew we would eventually...
be working five days a week, as we became more developed.
I thought people might use the Internet...
to book a ski resort, hire a car, and book a flight.
I thought people might use the Internet for that.
The company I founded at the time became the company...
with the daily sales of 100,000 dollars...
in just three months.
The company that provided the Internet booking service?
Yes. Now...
Now, the daily sales of 100,000 dollars isn't a big deal.
I started the company with 6,000 dollars 20 years ago,
and I recorded the annual sales of eight million dollars.
And...
Have you heard of Pandora TV? It's similar to YouTube.
- I know. I know. - Pandora TV.
- I know. - Pandora TV.
In the past, to watch a video,
you had to watch it through Pandora TV.
I watched a lot of animations through Pandora TV.
Actually,
I co-founded Pandora TV.
Did you?
At the time, I was in charge of...
the advertisements. You are used to them now, aren't you?
- You are very used to them, right? - Yes.
I suggested that we add a 15-second advertisement...
to every Pandora TV video.
And I told that to every advertiser and advertising company.
They told me not to talk nonsense.
They said it was spam.
They said people wouldn't put up through...
such inconvenient 15-second ads...
when it's not even the TV.
I got criticized very harshly.
That's when Google...
suggested that they would buy Pandora TV...
for about *** million dollars.
Really?
At that time?
- No way. - That's incredible.
That's when Google...
suggested that they would buy Pandora TV...
for about 160 million dollars.
Really?
- No way. - That's incredible.
At that time?
We got the offer.
If we sold the platform at the time,
Pandora TV might have been...
more popular than YouTube.
You missed the opportunity.
- I didn't know. - I know. It's incredible.
Yes.
- Incredible. - That's amazing.
People ask me if I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
- I always said I was... - A dirt spoon?
born with no spoon.
- No spoon. - No spoon.
I was with my mother.
But she always went to different areas to sell things.
So I only met her during winter breaks.
So since fourth grade,
I lived with my younger sister in first grade.
When I was young, we were so poor.
Since middle school, I've done...
more than 100...
part-time jobs. I even waited at a hotel.
I worked at a construction site too.
You are a completely self-made man.
- You tried everything. - Yes.
When you didn't have any money and when you have failed,
wasn't it really hard to believe that you will succeed nevertheless?
In a way, my past as a poor person...
(In a way, my past as a poor person...)
became my asset. Here's how.
When seizure stickers were put on my things at home...
I had a TV, fridge, and washing machine.
I didn't have any of that growing up.
- So... - It was even worse before.
I said I was sorry...
and told them to take them.
Yes. Now, young people...
can learn anything through the Internet.
When you come up with an idea,
you have lots of ways to start a business.
You can get lots of support.
If you come up with an idea...
and push through with that idea,
anyone can start a business.
Right. It's all about giving a try.
If you think it will work, you just have to push for it.
Right. Right.
He's amazing.
For that reason, when a new recruit joins our company,
I let him or her spend 10,000 dollars...
like a boss.
(He lets every new recruit spend 10,000 dollars.)
This project is...
It's just like what is written here.
Project 10,000 Dollars at Your Disposal.
You don't need to write any proposals or get approval.
(There's no need to report it to the boss.)
You are supposed to make all the decisions...
and act like the boss.
(Think of a business idea...)
(that will turn 10,000 dollars into 100 million dollars.)
You can just pass.
(Of course,)
(it's not easy.)
(It's a 100-million-dollar idea...)
(that will be launched.)
(Who will receive that honor?)
You can't go. You can't go.
One day, I found...
a yellow dust mask on my desk.
- Did this come from that idea? - Yes.
- This is... - Then...
How about this?
What if you start with 10,000 dollars...
and lose up to 1 million dollars?
Does that person have to take responsibility for it?
That can't happen.
As a CCO, I give them...
an opportunity and a system to undertake a venture.
The head of the company should take all the responsibility.
(The head of the company should take all the responsibility.)
Actually,
there are some projects I'm pushing for...
- What are those? - which haven't been approved...
by the employees.
- What are those? - What are those?
- What's this new product? - What are some of those?
I think they are okay. Please take a look at them.
- We will. - We will.
I am very good at this.
(He will reveal his ideas which he might get criticized for.)
- This is the fun part. - We get to be the team leader.
It looks like he's bringing a golf ball.
Everyone except Eun Woo plays golf.
- Really? - Yes.
Do you draw the putting line when you play golf?
- I do. - I...
- You draw it, don't you? - I do.
I am too lazy to draw it.
But isn't there a line of English letters on the ball?
But they are too small, and it depends on the ball.
But actually...
Even professionals draw the line.
- Right. - Using a marker.
I thought I would come up with something like a stamp.
That's great.
I love it.
My employees and shareholders have been criticizing me for two years.
- Please take a look at it. - So?
Let me see it.
- We will be very objective. - Here's how you do it.
(Getting up from his seat)
- Give it a try. - Give it a try.
- Be confident. - I'm confident about it.
I invested 10,000 dollars on it.
I love the idea.
- Open the lid. Put the ball here. - Okay.
Look. Look.
(Are you watching?)
(He's very excited.)
- Press the red button. - Right.
(2. Press the red button)
(There's a putting line.)
- What? - What?
- Look at that. - Give it to me.
- Touch it. Touch it. - Let me see it.
It worked right away.
- What? - Would it not come off?
(It's not coming off.)
- What do you think? - I would buy it.
I haven't been able to sell it for two years.
Wait. Wait.
Did you come up with this with the 10,000-dollar project?
It was my idea.
(It was his idea.)
Here's what I liked about this idea.
- After stamping about 300 times, - Right.
you have to buy the ink from me.
Isn't it incredible?
(Isn't it incredible?)
(He's very proud of himself.)
That's the face I haven't seen before.
You are dying to sell it, aren't you?
- He scared me. - He scared me just now.
(This is the face of a businessman when he wants to sell something.)
Are you a businessman or a scammer?
(He gets embarrassed.)
This is...
a great idea.
- I got it patented internationally. - Really?
- Yes. - Is it already patented?
The company didn't want to invest in it,
so I got it patented with my own money.
(He used his own money to get it patented.)
By the way, I will tell you this...
as a golfer.
I don't think I would buy it with my own money.
I know.
I would use it if someone gives it to me as a gift.
- I... - I think it would sell.
But I don't think you will be able to make a lot of money.
How much would you sell it for?
- How much are you thinking? - How much are you thinking?
It costs about 10 dollars to make it.
- 10 dollars? - Then I wouldn't buy it.
Just abandon it. It won't work. 10 dollars?
Is this why my employees are disapproving it?
It's too expensive.
(Is this why my employees are disapproving it?)
It's too expensive.
(The price needs to change.)
- There's one last thing. - All right.
- One more thing. - Will you be fine?
Your eyes have gone tearful.
Are you confident? Push with confidence!
He keeps bringing out things.
This is not an idea to abandon.
Not at all.
What is that? A water bottle?
Only 4, 5 of my employees...
have seen this.
It's cute.
Here's what it is.
Everyone uses tumblers.
The inside of the tumblers get really dirty.
So I thought I should come up with something to disinfect the tumblers.
And I came up with this.
(So I came up with this.)
- What is that? - What is it?
- That? - Is it out of battery?
When you press the button, from both sides,
UV sanitizing lights come out.
And you can sanitize baby bottles, tumblers, and things alike.
Let's put it inside Dong Hyun's bag.
When you put it inside, it disinfects everything.
(What do you think of this idea?)
(He's very desperate.)
(Please. Please. Please.)
(Thinking carefully)
Is it scientifically proven?
I have a report that shows that 99.9 percent of bacteria died.
We haven't launched this product yet either.
Should we share our opinions?
(He's very excited.)
Is it Boo or Wow?
- Shall we see if it's Boo or Wow? - Wow and Boo.
1, 2, 3.
- Boo. - Boo.
(Everyone agrees on it.)
I realized something just now.
I realized just now that this is the best idea ever.
- Let me see it. - This is the best idea ever.
Here's what's bad about this. Let me show you.
I am touching it with my hands.
Think of putting this into a bottle.
You would have to wash it before putting it into a bottle.
But it's an electronic device, so it would get broken.
But you can't touch it with your dirty hands...
and put it inside a bottle.
Do you always have to carry it like this then?
When it falls...
No. No. You can't put it on the table. You have to hang it.
You have to hang it on a hanger.
It shouldn't touch the ground, so you have to hang it.
You can come up with something...
- to disinfect that. - You hang it next to your jacket.
(He gets disheartened.)
Will my company close down when this show gets aired?
(We are only joking.)
You sound like investors.
We are very good at getting immersed in these situations.
If the five of you...
do the Project 10,000 Dollars at Your Disposal,
we will have several great business propositions.
Shall we go?
- I am curious. - This is amazing.
Let's go to the cafeteria where a chef cooks for you.
I am so excited.
But the menu changes every day.
If it's cooked by a chef of that level...
(He's excited.)
I think it's going to be delicious.
We got convenience stores on three floors.
(On the way to the cafeteria, they spot a convenience store.)
The one in the basement is much bigger.
We have steamed buns in the winter.
- There's one in the basement too? - It's much bigger there.
It's a convenience store.
Do the employees have to pay for what they eat?
- It's free. - It's free.
- Really? - It's free.
- "I come to the office to eat." - This is so nice.
- Let's go to the cafeteria. - How nice is it?
The employees are so well taken care of.
- It'd make you want to work. - Let's go to the cafeteria.
This is really comfortable.
(Finally, the highlight of employee welfare, the cafeteria is revealed.)
The ceiling is high.
It looks like a wedding buffet.
- Yes. - My goodness.
What is this?
Is this salmon sushi?
(It's a parade of mouthwatering dishes.)
It's like being at a wedding.
It's a buffet.
- This way. - Like this.
(Each dish is like a main dish.)
It looks like a restaurant.
- Incredible. - The pork slices are thick too.
Even when we had three staff members,
I cooked for them.
Enjoy your meal.
- Enjoy. - Enjoy.
- This is fascinating. - This is incredible. Yukjeon too.
This is good. This is good.
(Slurping)
It's good.
- It's good. - It's like a home-cooked meal.
(Lunch and dinner are all free.)
This is three times more expensive than just eating outside.
It costs three times more,
but it makes you communicate three times more.
- When you eat outside... - You go with people in your circle.
You eat with just the people you know.
If you consider its effect on employee communication,
it's 3 to 10 times worth more than...
- the amount of money it costs. - It's that much more effective.
(Good communication leads to good performance.)
Only then when you need the support of another team,
they will give it to you without making it difficult.
- Right. - And there's a fun rule.
If you eat with your family at home on weekends...
and talk about the company a lot,
we reimburse you the food expense.
(They pay for the food expense.)
What?
Did you put a wiretapping device on them?
That's not it. Here's the guideline.
The guideline is too ambiguous.
If they spend time for the company,
it should be considered as work time.
(He trusts his employees' judgment.)
You pay for overtime.
Yes. You need that faith.
What if I ask for the reimbursement of 6,000 dollars?
Then that would be your last meal.
(Laughing)
(There hasn't been one like that yet.)
Project 10,000 Dollars at Your Disposal is one example.
You seem to invest a lot in your staff.
Have you never incurred a loss by doing that?
A lot of projects failed.
For 40 employees to propose an idea...
If each person gets 10,000 dollars, that's 400,000 dollars.
It's a winning proposition.
- Even with one person? - Definitely.
I look at the big picture.
I believe one successful project...
can cover up for the rest of the projects.
We have the data to back it up.
It would be fine if the success rate was not 1 out of 40...
but 1 out of 80. We can still make money.
You just want one successful project.
(That's how Seong Rok understands it.)
- You just need one successful one. - Right.
Just 1 out of 40 has to succeed.
It's like having 40 inventors.
(Even if each person falls continuously...)
- Right. - The driving force...
that drove this company to grow this big with just 10,000 dollars...
of initial investment was the employees' sense of purpose...
and motivation.
You wouldn't be giving your idea to your boss.
You get to realize it yourself.
- You're in charge of everything. - Yes.
For some employees, this is like an assignment.
If you don't do it,
it gets deducted from your annual salary.
It's a huge pressure.
That's why there's no mid-process report.
There's no assessment.
You do this project once a year,
so it's a big project.
But your performance is not reflected in the performance review.
It doesn't affect your review if you fail.
It affects the review only if you succeed.
If you were to judge someone based on failure,
you need the goal. Only then you can call it a failure.
If your goal is to give something new a try,
it would be considered a failure only if you don't give it a try.
(Giving something new a try is the goal,)
(so you fail only if you don't try.)
That's a great quote.
- Let's clap for him. - You fail if you don't try.
It would be considered a failure if you had a goal to hit.
But giving it a try isn't a failure.
Right.
- Not trying is the biggest failure. - Not trying is the biggest failure.
We talk about what was good...
and bad about it as you gave something a try.
And we talk about what we learned.
I think the idea of challenging one's self is what's valuable.
(Challenging one's self is more valuable than success.)
Even for comedians, it's all about who pitches more ideas.
- That's why we keep pitching. - Do you have to have a lot then?
Yes, we have to pitch a lot of ideas.
Sometimes, I'd have 30 ideas and only 1 would succeed.
(You need to have lots of ideas in order to hit a home run.)
That's why pitching as many ideas as possible is important,
and what's good about this company is that it's structured in a way...
so that people can keep pitching their ideas.
(The company's structure encourages ideas.)
That's right.
Since you're team leaders today,
why don't you pitch some ideas...
that could help people feel better in this pandemic?
It doesn't have to be anything grand.
We're pitching ideas for our 10,000-dollar project?
Yes.
Come up with your own ideas...
and show us what you've got.
We would work a lot harder...
if there was a prize waiting for us.
That's just how it works.
A prize at the end could make the world of a difference.
The person with the winning idea...
can have lunch with me...
instead of Warren Buffett. Is that a bad one?
(Would you like to have lunch with me instead of Warren Buffett?)
We just ate.
You can say that with more confidence.
Let's just call it a day.
All right.
- Well... - "All right."
He's struggling.
(He's choked.)
If the idea is good enough to be made into a project...
You'd invest in the idea?
Yes, I'll fund 100 percent of the project.
Perfect!
(I'll fund 100 percent of the project.)
I mean it.
You look confident.
My idea is going to be amazing.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- Let's get going. - All right.
(The end of the pandemic is nowhere in sight.)
(The whole world is...)
(currently living the pandemic life.)
(This is a heat-censor helmet that detects people with a fever.)
(These inventions are going to help with containing the pandemic.)
(This is a handle that you can open without using your hands.)
(This is like a litmus paper that measures the masks' function.)
(These inventions are going to help with containing the pandemic.)
(Pitch an idea that'll help people feel better during this pandemic.)
(This is Project 10,000 Dollars at Your Disposal.)
(Which idea will be the chosen one?)
Did you come up with good ideas?
We're getting quite competitive.
Is that right?
(They're determined.)
Could you first tell us your criteria?
(What's the criteria for the winning idea?)
Our company is all about selling projects that wow people.
When you present your projects...
and you can wow people,
and I will vote on the best project.
(Once you earn his wow, the idea wins.)
- It's all about the wow factor. - Okay.
Let's start presenting.
Rather than getting in touch with the emotional side,
I thought of something more functional.
The first is a bracelet.
(A bracelet)
When you have this bracelet on, your body temperature is...
measured and recorded on an app, which will allow you...
to go to places without having your temperature checked every time.
The temperature will be tracked.
(Seong Rok's idea is a thermometer bracelet.)
You know how you have to get your phone out for check-ins?
You can just check in with your bracelet instead.
(Se Hyeong is intrigued.)
So, it can be scanned like a barcode?
Well, it's just so inconvenient to go somewhere,
have your temperature checked,
and check in.
With this, you'll be constantly tracked.
It's like an express pass at an amusement park.
Whoever that has the bracelet gets a fast pass.
That's right.
That's a great idea.
All you have to do is to just register initially.
After, your temperature will be tracked.
I've also come up with different colors,
so that they'll look stylish, too.
- That's a great idea. - Right?
That's amazing.
There are already thermometer bracelets sold online.
(That bracelet is being sold online.)
Really?
(The idea is out.)
This bracelet has been invented in 2013...
at MIT.
- How could you plagiarize? - No.
And they come in different colors, too.
They come in colors.
There are lots of different colors.
You plagiarized.
Let's improve that bracelet, then.
(He's giving up.)
(There's a man who doesn't laugh at ideas like the others do.)
Really? I guess we could just connect that to an app.
They're so cheap.
(He can predict the value of the idea just by listening.)
But bracelets can be annoying at times.
(What does Boss Park think of this idea?)
I've heard that this bracelet exists,
but if you just put it off...
by saying that it already exists,
you can't build further on the idea.
The production structure and the product made in 2013...
were expensive.
Right now, we could reduce the cost to just ten percent of it.
(They can reduce the costs to just 10 percent.)
I mean it.
Those bracelets were made for personal uses,
but the ones he's suggesting are for the coronavirus.
I think it shows a lot of potential.
(I think it shows a lot of potential.)
(He's very encouraged.)
That's good.
We can try to come up...
with a cost-effective version.
(An existing product can be made better and more valuable.)
All right.
Let's now...
hear the second idea.
You know how there are glasses, but none for the nose?
This is called a nose glass.
It's like a mask, but just for the nose.
(Dong Hyun's idea is a mask just for the nose.)
You know masks are so big, you can't even tell who's who?
That's why...
You know masks are so big, you can't even tell who's who?
We could minimize the size of the masks...
to make it easier to identify people and minimize the makeup smudging.
Wouldn't this look funny on people?
That's why I wanted to say...
that a regular mask was considered funny-looking at first, too.
It's all about perspective.
When people are used to seeing this, it'll become the standard...
and a new thing.
Recently, Japan distributed masks for everyone,
and they got criticized for making the masks so small.
But mine is much more effective.
Its effectiveness is double.
This is...
- basically like an oxygen mask. - Yes.
That's why once this is developed,
(Does Dong Hyun have another one?)
we could have masks that we can plug into our noses,
and then another one...
for the mouth.
We have to keep our masks on all day, and it gets in the way.
So, you want to make a filter that you can shove into your nose?
It could last about a week,
and you can re-use it after washing it.
That's what I'm going for.
(Everyone is booing him.)
(Everyone is booing instead of wow-ing.)
(That is such a bad idea.)
(These three are busy booing.)
Boss Park, is that a boo or a wow?
What do you think?
- To be honest, - Look at the nose mask.
To be honest,
but if you just put it off...
(He believes that all ideas are worth something.)
(He can revive terrible ideas, so what does he think of this?)
- It's definitely... - I won't take it the wrong way.
(It's definitely...)
a boo idea.
It's a boo idea.
- It's definitely a boo idea. - You tried.
At least I tried.
The thing is, when people have their masks on,
- they have to be able to talk. - Talk?
That's why masks must be at least a certain size,
so that people can speak...
- and move their mouths in it. - That's true.
(Dong Hyun's mask is impossible to talk in.)
- You can't open your mouth. - I've thought about that.
You have to keep your mouth shut the whole day with that.
What do you call it?
- Ventriloquy? - Yes, ventriloquy!
(He's showing off his ventriloquy skills.)
Hello, everyone.
Here is my invention.
Don't use big masks.
And it'll fly off when you sneeze or cough.
It'll fling off of your face when you sneeze,
and you'd have to put it back on.
(You'd keep having to put the mask back on.)
It'd be considered around KF20.
It's as pointless as wearing no mask.
(Dong Hyun's nose mask is barely of any use.)
- What I've brought is... - I'm excited.
something that I really needed.
The first thing is, you know how people wear...
fabric and cotton masks nowadays?
We wear masks on our faces,
yet there's no detergent specifically for masks.
That's why I thought of a detergent for masks.
(Se Hyeong's idea is detergent just for cotton masks.)
You know how it's better to hand-wash masks?
You're right. What should I wash my mask with?
I've tried soap,
as well as shampoo,
but it still feels gross because it goes on my mouth.
We'll need an expert on this,
but there must be a cleaning product that's safe for the mouth.
Something that doesn't have a lot of chemicals in it.
And then,
it could come with pleasant scents,
like chamomile or mint.
If we could have an expert work on that and invent this,
I would totally buy this product.
I have a few cotton masks at home,
but I wasn't sure what I should wash them with,
so I've just been using water.
But when you just use water,
- It doesn't feel clean enough. - it doesn't feel...
entirely clean.
(Seung Gi agrees that this is an inconvenience to many.)
That's a good idea. Wow.
- Boo. - What's wrong?
- Boo. - Are you jealous?
- Are you? - I'm too lazy to wash mine.
(He's too lazy to be convinced.)
That was the first one.
I wish all apartments provided this second idea.
- All apartments? - Elevator buttons...
They're index finger paper gloves for pressing elevator buttons.
(Index finger paper gloves for elevators)
These days, there's a thin film...
- that covers the buttons. - Right.
Those who watched the news recently will know,
but those films become contaminated and get even dirtier.
Right.
(These films are even dirtier.)
(They're made of copper that's supposed to kill the virus.)
(If you touch it before the virus dies,)
(you'll be infected.)
I use my phone to press them.
- Some people use their elbows. - I do this.
- I use my knuckles. - After I do that,
I go home and clean my phone just in case.
Because I'll be touching my phone anyway.
So this is where the buttons are.
Next to it is a box full of these paper gloves.
You mean those that are meant for two fingers?
- But this one is just for 1. - Right, there are ones for 2.
It'll be hanging there.
You can get one glove each.
We can use that to press the buttons.
We can dispose them at home.
- That's a nice idea. - We should have them everywhere...
where there are elevators.
- We'll... - That's a great idea.
And you could also attach...
- advertisements on the boxes. - Boo, boo.
What's wrong? It seems like you're jealous.
Not at all. It's just that they're made of plastic.
No, these are paper gloves.
- Paper? - Like paper cups.
- Wow. - Like paper cups.
Isn't that a nice idea?
- That's impressive. - Think of it like this.
You know those paper cup cases?
- They have a whole row of cups. - Right.
They're just like those, but these are for your fingers.
- That's a wonderful idea. - These are index finger gloves.
- Wow. - That's a great idea.
He has the best mindset...
for this project.
Because first of all,
his ideas can only be created...
by observing and pondering over objects.
He's always thinking of better ideas.
That's why I think his ideas were useful.
- And it's environmentally friendly. - Right.
I think that's great.
As for mask detergents,
we could potentially sell them in two weeks.
(He can sell them in 2 weeks.)
I'm serious. But of course,
we'll have to think about our target and price.
We can make them with 10,000 dollars.
I think that's a great idea.
If...
it were to become a hit, the second one...
will be sold the most.
- Index finger gloves. - People take elevators...
numerous times a day.
I know someone who makes paper cups.
I guess you're already thinking about how to push ahead with this.
I'm already thinking about whom to call...
to make this.
I think those gloves can be sold globally.
We could also patent the designs too.
Anyway...
(His idea is realizable and eco-friendly.)
This is what I want to launch.
I actually needed this even before COVID-19 hit.
Anyway, music is important to me,
- so this is related to that. - That's great.
"Give me a music selection."
(We need music during times like this.)
(What kinds of songs will make you shine the brightest?)
(Music...)
(selection?)
Many people want to sing well when they go to the karaoke.
Your music selection is the most important.
You need to think about your voice and the tone you can sing...
if you want to sing a song beautifully.
So this application will test you.
From the lowest tone... For example,
it'll tell you to sing and analyze your voice.
Then it'll give you a list of songs that fit your voice the most.
- That fits your voice? - It'll show you...
a list of songs that you can sing.
(Songs You Can Sing)
(Impressed)
If you can't sing the high notes, it won't recommend such songs.
That's a fun idea.
It'll customize itself to you.
If you sing the right note, it'll tell you.
- You'll keep singing. - Right.
If you sing out of tune,
that'll be the end.
- It'll show you a list from there. - It'll show you a list of songs.
- You see... - What if it says...
that there are no songs you can sing?
(There are no songs you can sing.)
What if it says that?
I'd be excited to find out.
It'll recommend songs...
- that even I didn't know. - Right.
You can practice singing that song, and it might suit you.
Right, even though you never knew about that song.
If you discuss this with music streaming companies,
they may give it some thought.
Because they already have all the songs.
They just need to add that.
I take back my idea. Please ignore it.
Erase that. Erase that!
Erase that. Let me...
Erase it this instant.
- Gosh. - Karaokes would like it too.
You're right.
(Smiling)
(He can't help but smile at their positive reactions.)
I just thought of this. The singers could also...
give you lessons on their songs for about 30 seconds.
They can receive royalties as well.
People will go to the karaoke just to learn and sing.
- Seung Gi. - Yes?
Will you invest?
Yes.
- That was a great idea. - I like it.
This is awesome.
- I need to go to Company M. - No, you can't.
(He wants to leave.)
No, you may not.
- Gosh. - I need to go.
I need to go.
(Even Boss Park can't let go of this creative man.)
This is the final and most important goal...
of creating new ideas.
(What kind of virtue should an idea have?)
It's love for humanity.
- Love for humanity? - Correct.
If you see that your idea has helped others,
it doesn't wear you out.
Volvo didn't patent seatbelts.
Had they done that, none of the other companies...
would've been able to make them.
Seatbelts.
- What? - They were the ones who made them?
They didn't patent it.
- Because of their love for mankind. - I had no idea.
His idea is something everyone would appreciate.
Everyone could participate.
(He smiles again after being complimented.)
It's very marketable. I believe...
if you attended a start-up contest with that idea,
you'd be able to receive a fund from the government.
Do I need to go to the Blue House?
- This is amazing. - Should I go there right now?
(Seung Gi is full of creative ideas.)
- All right, then. - Which one do you like?
Which one? All right.
(Project 10,000 Dollars)
In such a short time, you were able to offer many ideas.
You really surprised me. If I could, I'd like to hire you all.
- The honorary employee... - Honorary employee.
that I'd like to invest in...
is Team Leader Yang Se Hyeong.
(Team Leader Yang Se Hyeong)
(He looks cute.)
- Se Hyeong. - Okay.
Awesome.
Se Hyeong.
- That's amazing. - I liked your idea.
- It was nice. - I acknowledge my defeat.
- You're the best. - I acknowledge mine as well.
- He's the best. - Thank you.
(Se Hyeong's ideas were full of his love for humanity.)
I'd be surprised to see it in real life.
(They've developed this donation project.)
Like I've mentioned before, I could see his love for mankind.
(It'll be launched soon, and the profit will be donated.)
On his business card, it said that he wished...
there were more entrepreneurs.
- Right. - That's what he wrote.
You see, my children did not graduate from high school.
- Both your son and daughter? - Correct.
Of course, they took the GED later on.
When my son was in eighth grade,
he suddenly fell in love with billiards...
and didn't go to school.
If he was determined, I wanted him to give it his all. Then one day,
the billiards coach for the national team called.
(The coach for the national team called him.)
I said hello.
He told me that my son had asked him to teach him.
That's amazing.
He asked if it was okay that he didn't attend school.
I said I was more than okay...
since my son had went to see the coach himself.
- Right. - I told him...
that I'd support him as long as he did.
So my son stopped going to school.
He practiced over 10 hours daily and became a national athlete.
He also got admitted to school as a special PE student.
That's amazing.
If you focus on what you want to do...
and pursue it,
- all of your energy... - Right.
will be focused there.
You need to pursue what you love.
I hope young individuals won't feel forced...
to do what the society expects of them.
They need to find their passion...
and pursue that.
But what if you fail?
You only fail if you stop there.
I've never failed in my life.
I've had my highs and lows throughout my life,
but it's just a process since I never stopped there.
You're right.
On that note,
a group of kids in middle school have recently made...
an application that shows the current situation...
regarding COVID-19 quite precisely.
- Right. - And...
- Middle school? - Yes.
Gosh, how's that possible?
(Choi Hyung Bin and Lee Chan Hyung from Gosan Middle School)
(CoronaNOW helps people to understand the current status.)
("CoronaNow Developed by Two Middle Schoolers in Daegu")
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Are you Choi Hyung Bin and Lee Chan Hyung?
- Yes. - Yes.
- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.
Which grade are you in?
- We're in ninth grade. - Ninth grade?
How did you guys come up with this brilliant idea?
We just wanted to create an app.
But I am not good at writing codes.
Hyung Bin is interested in computers, so I asked him about it.
I asked him to join me in coming up with the app.
Was it your idea?
And Hyung Bin was in charge of the development?
You two made it together?
No. I asked him to develop an app together.
- After we got to talk... - Se Hyeong.
- He says no. - Do you want to die?
(They're not afraid of Se Hyeong.)
They must not be afraid of him.
They smiled the biggest when Se Hyeong threatened them.
It was their biggest smiles.
(They just look like innocent children when they smile.)
How long did it take you to develop this...
after coming up with the idea?
I think it took us between five days to a week.
- That's amazing. - That fast?
Can it be done that quickly?
I have a question.
I thought the information came from KCDC.
Where did you get such...
accurate information?
(How did they get the right information on COVID19?)
KCDC provided us with the right information.
It was just wasn't accessible to a lot of people early on.
It needed to be shown online or through apps...
to be accessible for everyone.
The government tried to develop as fast as it can.
But they are faced with a more complex administrative process.
- The administrative process. - How smart!
- Impressive. - I'm impressed.
- Awesome! - Goodness.
How do they know words like "administrative process"?
On the other hand, private developers...
- And "private developers" too. - can develop faster.
Our goal was to operate it until the government...
comes up with its official website.
But many people started to use it.
- So we're still working on it. - They're using it now too?
Is there any reason...
why you started with the app based on COVID-19...
instead of everything else?
When we first made it,
the pandemic wasn't as serious in Korea.
We thought the disease can spread to Koreans quickly.
Our initial goal was to provide it for Koreans in China.
- I see. - I see.
But we attracted the most attention...
when the number of cases was the highest in Daegu.
It was kind of a bitter moment for us too.
- That could happen. - But you two...
helped a lot of Daegu residents...
with your app.
(The two students' intentions supported a lot of people.)
I'm actually impressed...
because I didn't know they were the first ones to do it.
You can make a product when it attracts a lot of attention,
but the fact that they intended to provide it to Koreans in China...
or worry about the potential spread to Korea...
is very sublime, right?
(The two students' sublime humanity predicted the future.)
I think that's great.
They're already on their paths to become entrepreneurs.
- I also heard they donated. - True.
- They donated their profits. - True.
- When everyone else was playing... - It's simply awesome.
Did you two agree to do it?
I offered him the idea of donating all profits...
when we first came up with this development.
Chan Hyung thought we should donate in masks.
- That's amazing. - Impressive.
These days, young people are better than us.
Your parents must be extremely proud of you, right?
- I'm sure they are. - What did they say?
They were all just dumbfounded at first.
What you did is more amazing...
than getting a perfect score on mid-term and final exams.
- You're heroes of Daegu. - It's like the best in the country.
Seriously. They're heroes.
I'm impressed.
You two are awesome.
What are your dreams?
What do you want to do in the future?
I want to be...
- a CEO of a startup. - CEO?
I want to run a unicorn or a startup even bigger.
- What is a unicorn startup? - Exactly.
It refers to an unlisted company...
that is valued at a certain number.
Where did he learn all this?
A unicorn refers to a company valued at 1 billion dollars...
within 10 years since it was founded.
- In 10 years? - It must be very rare.
A unicorn? Impressive.
- What about Chan Hyung? - Chan Hyung?
- Well... - Are you a little tired?
(Grinning)
I'm still searching.
I'm still not sure what fits me.
- I plan to study more. - This...
is a brilliant idea.
You don't have to try too hard to come up with a dream.
Boss Park also said this before.
It's also good to find what you want and what you like.
Of course.
If you need any mentors or my help in the future,
please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll be your mentor for life.
(I'll be your mentor for life.)
- That's amazing. - This...
If you have any brilliant ideas, he'll be happy to invest.
Of course. I promise I'll be your investor.
Thank you.
I'd like to say this one thing.
For young people with dreams,
like Chan Hyung and Hyung Bin,
there are a lot of older people who are happy to be your support.
I hope you remember that.
- We are very proud of you. - Seriously.
- They're amazing. - Let's give a round of applause.
We're extremely proud of you.
Do you two have girlfriends?
(Smiling)
(We'll just smile.)
You two don't?
(Smiling)
Okay.
- We'll stop there. - That's good enough.
- Good luck. - Good luck.
- Thank you. - Can you two make a heart?
- Bye. - Please make a heart.
A heart, please.
(Provide accurate information the right way.)
Please kiss each other on the cheek.
(To make Korea worry-free. The catchphrase of CoronaNOW.)
- Bye. - They can come to the show later.
- Sounds good. - Good luck.
- Amazing. - Impressive.
(We support Chan Hyung and Hyung Bin in making Korea a worry-free place.)
- They're amazing. - I'm impressed.
Did I ever think like them when I was in middle school?
- Not me. - I don't think I did.
They'll do something amazing as adults.
- We call it youth. - Right.
But youth doesn't mean being of a young age.
People of the youth are those who never stop challenging themselves.
(People of the youth are those who never stop challenging themselves.)
- I think everyone here... - We got the sentence of the day.
are still youths.
The biggest failure is when you stop challenging.
If you continue to support these people,
I'm sure Korea will become a much better place.
I'm confident the entire country will be the country of the youth.
- A country of the youth. - Amazing.
It's awesome. A country of youth.
People of the youth are those who never stop challenging themselves.
Let's keep challenging!
What kind of challenge should I try today?
(The biggest failure is when you stop challenging.)
(The most popular man in Korea right now!)
(The Earth's most powerful special agent is here.)
(The first encounter starts with a countdown.)
(Even a second of muscle loss is not acceptable.)
(From head to toe.)
(It's an eye-opening full course on personality education.)
(Everyone is too selfish.)
(Beware of gaining screams.)
Hang in there.
(I think it's a little too late.)
There's no I in a team.
(There's no I in a team.)
(A brutal variety battlefield)
(Become true comrades!)
(An extremely harsh teamwork training for the 5 men.)
(How will it turn out?)
