How Do You Play? (놀면 뭐하니?)

(It has been a while since we gathered in Sangam-dong.)

- What? - What's this?

- What's this? - What's this?

What is all this?

- What's this? - What's this?

What's going on? Hello.

- Hello. - Why are they all here?

Do we have music in the background?

Why, all of a sudden?

We invited a legendary MBC personality.

- A legend? - He'll tell you...

what you'll do today.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

- A legend? - A legend?

- It's you, Jae Seok. - Is there anyone but you?

- I'm... - Eight MBC Grand Awards.

- I'm... - Yu Jae Seok.

To call me a legendary MBC personality...

- What's that? - Legendary...

- An MBC legend? - Wait.

- We... - An MBC legend?

The opening segment...

What's happening?

"Laugh for Blessings," "Refrigerator of Conscience."

"Refrigerator of Conscience," "Candid Camera."

- "Sunday, Sunday Night." - So many programs.

There's "Exclamation Mark" too.

"Candid Camera."

He's coming.

Is it Gyeong Gyu?

(Variety Godfather Lee Gyeong Gyu with 45 years experience.)

Our legend.

- Lee Gyeong Gyu! - Lee Gyeong Gyu!

- Hello. - Lee Gyeong Gyu.

Welcome.

Gyeong Gyu.

(His many popular phrases and comic sketches...)

(He shocked everyone back in the day...)

(with his hilarious "Candid Camera.")

("Lee Gyeong Gyu's Coming" gave you chills and thrills,)

(and he was the first to lie down on TV.)

Lee Gyeong Gyu.

Lee Gyeong Gyu.

Lee Gyeong Gyu.

Lee Gyeong Gyu.

(He's a living witness of MBC's variety shows.)

It's really you.

That's what this was for.

Lee Gyeong Gyu!

Lee Gyeong Gyu.

Yi Kyung. Were it years ago,

he'd have slapped you.

I dislike excessive physical contact.

Gyeong Gyu. I'll explain why Yi Kyung is like this.

- He knows the calmer you. - Yes.

- He doesn't know the real you. - It's like this.

There's a time when a biting dog stops biting.

Back when I was a biter, he wasn't around.

I wasn't.

So he thinks I'm a dog that doesn't bite.

- He's really scary. - You could get bitten.

- He's no joke. - You'll get bitten.

I'll say just one thing.

- During Gyeong Gyu's peak days. - Yes.

There was a time when he actually got angry often...

- and exaggerated rumors spread. - Yes.

From the late 1990s to the early 2000s,

- no one hung out with him. - I had zero friends.

- Because you were scary? - Yes.

They were that afraid of you?

Let's say I was walking along a corridor in the MBC building.

The writers all stood right by the wall.

- That's true. - He's serious.

- Honestly. - That's true.

He was really fair.

There was no gender discrimination.

- He yelled at them all. - Listen.

Get caught, and you're dead.

- But Gyeong Gyu... - Yes.

If you talk about Korea's variety show history...

- Yes. - He's a legend.

The fact that he exists, to us, it's a real...

- He's a great indicator. - Yes.

A historical figure.

- You're amazing. - All of you...

watching at home. I wonder what you think.

Jeong-dong MBC.

Jeong-dong MBC?

MBC moved from Jeong-dong to Yeouido.

And from Yeouido, they moved to...

- Sangam-dong and... - Yes.

- Ilsan. - Ilsan.

When they moved to Ilsan,

- I had a bad feeling. - I see.

- Why? - The place didn't feel right.

"This is where they'll get rid of me."

- And it happened. - He's quick like that.

He has a great hunch.

- So you went to KBS. - At Ilsan,

when I set foot on the ground,

I could feel the water flowing underneath.

- And they stopped casting me. - What a hunch.

And then I moved here.

How was Sangam-dong for you?

Sangam-dong suits me well.

Sangam-dong suits me.

- Sangam-dong works? - That worked for him.

Where did you shoot "My Little Television?"

- In Sangam-dong. - Right.

- Sangam's the place for me. - "My Little Television."

Gyeong Gyu is back on MBC...

after he was last on "DNA Mate" in 2023.

That's right. Since 2023,

I haven't been on an MBC show in about two years.

- You appeared on our show. - Yes.

As he left, he told us to look up...

some heartwarming stories about him.

- We really looked hard. - Okay.

There weren't any.

If there were some heartwarming stories,

I agreed to come back on.

Your crew looked but couldn't find any.

- "Let's fake some." - Okay.

- Just to come back on. - That's funny.

- Heartwarming stories? - Yes.

But we couldn't think of anything to make up.

You live so simply.

- Seriously. - He only cares about himself.

- Okay. - So...

What did you say?

He got me. I meant he doesn't inconvenience others.

- I see your temper rising. - Yes.

She went and...

- Mi Joo thinks... - She doesn't know you well.

you're a really sweet senior.

A nice senior celebrity.

I suddenly got the chills.

- Gyeong Gyu, long ago, - Yes.

he diagnosed the entertainment scene.

- I did do that. - He diagnosed the industry.

This is what he said.

We talk about it even now.

"Variety shows will turn into documentaries."

That's right.

- We observe everything now. - It happened.

- Actually... - We lie down too.

- He created the lying down format. - We can lie down now.

Was it last year?

We asked you about the entertainment trend,

and what you said was, "I don't know anymore."

"Even I don't know."

- That makes sense, though. - "Even I..."

- It's the truth. - We have everything now.

We have new platforms.

- Like what? - I don't know anymore.

Do you watch our show when you're free?

- What? - Do you... What?

He's angry.

Who are you to ask what I watch?

I told you not to come on!

- Stand over there. - Go over there.

I told you not to come!

- Stay there. - Don't come into the frame.

You're 1 of the 11 on my blacklist.

- You're 1 of the 11. - You're 1 of them.

- You're 1 of the 11. - Woo Jae, you.

I got rid of you on behalf of all the other models.

That was the first question I asked.

Woo Jae, you're not allowed to talk from now on.

- You can't talk now. - That's a warning for you.

- You should just go home. - Not here.

- That's a warning for you. - You got a red card.

- Yes, a red card. - "You know nothing. Stop talking."

I've been waiting to make a comeback through your show.

- You see, my connections... - With their help?

They're my only connections.

You said this at an awards ceremony...

- or something. - They're the only ones I know.

- You didn't have to be the MC. - Right.

- You said you could be a guest too. - Right.

- Yes, I said I could do that now. - You did that say.

- Would you be a regular member? - So...

You be quiet.

- You little... - He doesn't want you to talk.

- Come on. Stop it. - Hey, go and grab a camera.

- He told you to go away. - Could you give me a roll of tapes?

I won't do it until he leaves.

You know what? Gyeong Gyu changed a lot.

- He hated long opening segments. - Right.

- He must've missed people. - He seems to be having fun.

- He's gotten very warmhearted. - Right.

- What? I'm not warmhearted. - You...

You're warmhearted now.

- What? - Take your hand out.

- He's suddenly getting scolded. - Why?

Why are you telling me what to do?

- Are you cold, perhaps? - My gosh.

Give him a hand warmer.

- What are you doing? - My gosh.

- You're not anxious, right? - So it makes him feel safe.
