Hometown Flex (Seoul Bumpkin / Seoul Chonnom / 서울 촌놈)

I got up so early this morning.

It's probably the earliest I woke up this year.

And it feels different on the first day of shooting.

I was a little nervous.

I only heard about the title from the news.

All I heard was the names of the producer and you.

Really? - Yes.

Am I that significant?

Where were you officially born?

Officially?

My mother was... You mean the location of the hospital, right?

No?

Do you mean the town? - I meant regions.

My house was in Suyu-ri when I was born.

My family was registered in Dangjin,

but I changed it to Seoul.

So were you born in Dangjin?

No. That was my father's hometown.

Did you two go to schools in Seoul?

I did.

I spent the first year of elementary school in Bukgajwa-dong,

then I lived in Irwon-dong.

I went to Sinhak Elementary School in Banghak-dong.

Then I went to Nogok Middle School and Sanggye High School.

You went to schools in the area. - Yes, they're all in the same area.

The two of you must take pride in growing up in Seoul.

Yes. - Yes.

There's a saying.

Seoul is a combination of Busan, Gwangju, Incheon,

Sokcho, and Jeju Island,

which are all good cities.

That's why satisfying a Seoul hillbilly...

is really difficult.

We ate all types of food.

You can find them all in Seoul. - Right.

The restaurants even have the same names.

Or the owner of the original restaurant came to Seoul.

Or his son is running it.

Have we begun?

Come on. This isn't your first day of being on a show.

Be natural. - It's been so long...

since I've come to Busan Station.

Busan Station.

The visitors...

They're coming, right?

Probably. - Even if they don't...

If they don't, we'll hang out. - We'll go to a good restaurant.

We'll spend time by ourselves.

This is how celebrities wear their masks these days.

I haven't been on that many variety shows.

Haven't you? Isn't your regular show doing very well?

That's my only one. I haven't been on anything else.

He's here. - Hello.

Hello.

We're here to eat. You can take off the mask.

We're just having a meal together.

And some beer. - We will have some beer as well.

Are you a heavy drinker? - Me?

Do you like to drink? - Why are you using honorifics?

Did I talk casually to you? - Yes, you did.

I did? Okay.

I met you just a few times.

You forgot that.

Oh, hello. - Hello.

Simon Dominic. - Hello.

You're late. - I'm sorry I'm late.

You should've come tomorrow. - What?

We were talking about kicking you out of the show.

Hello. - Hello.

Hello. - Hello.

Hello. - Nice to see you.

So where are we going?

It's not chosen yet, is it? - We have to eat pork gukbap first.

There's a good milmyeon restaurant in front of my house.

A milmyeon restaurant? - You know what?

Milmyeon and pork gukbap?

Don't you think they are too famous?

Well... - I'm not doing this then.

No. That's not what I meant. Hear me out.

Why is he being like this from the beginning?

Listen. Busan is...

famous for milmyeon and pork gukbap.

Do you want them to eat pizza then?

We can do that.

There can be a famous pizza restaurant in Busan.

What's the most famous chicken restaurant in Busan?

Let's bring them to a convenience store and buy them cup noodles.

There's a famous doughnut place in Gwangalli.

Or we can try raw eel there.

They are from Seoul. They've tried all the good dishes.

So we should let them try something bad.

Going the other way around? - That's the plan.

We will soon be arriving at the last stop,

Busan Station.

Please get ready. - It's Busan.

We got here sooner than I thought.

KTX is really fast.

Did it take 2 hours and 40 minutes?

We should eat first.

I'm hungry. - Right.

I bet it's all set there. - I know.

We're here. - Let's get off.

It's Busan.

It feels like Busan Station...

has become bigger and fancier. - I know. Something's different.

This wasn't here before.

It wasn't here before. - Right. Busan Station...

didn't have this. - This is new.

The place has become a lot better. - I know. It says platform here.

Tae Hyun.

Hello. - Hello.

Hello. There's Simon Dominic. - They're wearing matching clothes.

I thought they were the station employees.

Hello. - Hello.

Hello. Nice to meet you. - Hello.

Hello. - It's been a long time.

I know. - Oh, hello.

How have you been? - I've been doing well.

I heard it would rain, but the weather is nice.

Did they say it would rain?

It's cool in Busan, isn't it?

In winter, it's warm...

in Busan.

No. - They don't wear heavy clothes.

Isn't that it? - That's not true.

No? - It's cold in Busan.

It rarely snows in Busan.

It rarely snows, but it's still cold.

It didn't snow a lot in Seoul last year, but it was cold.

That's because...

people from a tropical region...

feel cold...

A tropical region? - Korea isn't a big country.

Did you say a tropical region?

It's just a figure of speech. - It's not like...

Busan is four hours away by plane.

What are you talking about?

Do you drink hot coffee here? - Did you plan to wear...

matching outfits today?

No, we didn't.

We didn't plan it.

People from Seoul like to wear achromatic-colored clothes.

Seoul? - Yes.

This is what we wear in Busan.

I see. It looks bright.

We think the city is like LA.

It's LA of Korea.

LA.

Let me tell you briefly about our show.

Our show is where Local Representatives...

introduce their hometown to the Seoul hillbillies.

You can take them to good places...

and show them regional specialties.

I see. - That's a lot of pressure.

I know. - Those who live in the region...

might see the tourist attractions differently.

I agree. - That's what I'm curious about.

Actually, Busan is nice everywhere.

I like coming to Busan Station.

Why? - I feel good when I get off...

at Busan Station. - I see.

It's always the same,

but I take pictures of the station every time.

The sign that says Busan Station.

But the places I used to go frequently...

Are they gone? - They are all gone.

When was the last time you came to Busan?

I bet it was before when we last came.

When was the last time you came to Busan?

I still come to Busan once or twice a year.

Does your family... - My friends and relatives are...

still here. - I see.

So I come to Busan.

And I ask them where to go.

About where to go? - I believe you have a lot to say.

Let me tell you about the rule we have.

The locals are supposed to speak in dialect.

Gosh, it's hard for me.

It's not easy for Hyuk.

It's a big mission. - Really?

We can't force you to talk in dialect when you can't.

You should force yourself.

Just try to add an accent at the end of sentences.

Like old people. - I know how to talk in dialect.

Give it a try. - Say it with an accent.

But it feels really awkward.

Say it with an accent. - Just with a little accent.

He should get a penalty or something.

You met your friends yesterday.

I did. - They wouldn't like this.

"Hey, it's good to see you."

"Have you been doing well?" I was like this.
