The Seasons: Red Carpet with Lee Hyo Ri (

Hello, everyone.

I'm Lee Hyo Ri, the host of "Red Carpet with Lee Hyo Ri."

Nice to meet you.

It was so cold today.

Thanks for filling every seat here despite the weather.

We're ready to keep you warm and hot,

so please enjoy the show.

Let me introduce my band I trust very much,

JeongMae and Koongchi Tachi!

(Keyboard: Jung Dong Hwan, Shin Ye Chan Guitar: Cho Chang Hyun)

(Bass: Park Jong Woo, Drum: Jang Won Young)

They look great, all dressed up in white today.

They're all dressed up.

The first guest on "Red Carpet with Lee Hyo Ri..."

appeared in my dream recently...

and made me feel all sorts of emotions.

Please welcome Defconn, the man from my dream.

Hello!

Nice to meet you!

Young Ja!

Young Sook!

Hyun Sook!

Nice to meet you. I'm Defconn!

You can cut the music now.

Nice to meet you all.

Defconn, the man from my dream, is here.

Hello, everyone. Nice to meet you.

I'm the man...

the ultimate Hyo Ri has dreamed about dating, Defconn. Nice to meet you.

This isn't a dream, is it?

- Defconn is really sitting beside me? - Yes.

I sounded too soulless as I said that, didn't I?

- But... - I'm sorry.

I was blown away.

There was a news article written on it.

There are messenger birds that deliver messages about me...

circulating in the industry without me knowing.

And they told me something big happened, so I asked them what,

and they told me you dreamed about dating me!

And there were so many news articles written on this!

I didn't expect there to be so many news articles.

I was so shocked.

- But... - I was watching "I am Solo Season 16."

Right.

- I watched Seasons 10 and 16... - This was my Instagram live.

- This is your social media account? - It ended two days ago,

and I dreamed about dating Defconn. I got too into the show.

Defconn was so honest...

and had such good things to say.

I feel like Defconn and I would really get along.

What was the dream about?

The dream where you were dating me.

- Where did we meet, and what did we do? - Well...

It's been over ten years since I haven't been on a date...

as I'm married now.

You shouldn't go on dates after you get married, after all.

- Exactly. - Yes.

It's been over a decade since I've quit going on dates.

So, of course, I want to go on a date,

even if it's in my dream.

But why did my date have to be you?

I can dream about anything in my own dream,

- but even in my dream, why... - I'm sorry.

No, don't feel bad.

Don't apologize.

Honestly, after hearing how you dreamed about dating me...

- This... - But...

It made me feel like I became a superstar.

I was joking,

but I'm a huge fan of you.

I'm your huge fan too.

- You know I don't care about looks, yes? - Yes, I know.

You specifically married your husband for his looks, right?

- The heart is everything to me. - Right.

And I love who you are.

- I applauded when you married Sang Soon. - Why?

In our Bottom Five-Percent Face Club,

What do you mean, Bottom Five-Percent Face Club?

- Sang Soon is our president. - Bottom Five-Percent Face Club?

He's the president of the club.

That's how handsome he is.

He's the best one. And hearing you were marrying him...

made me think not only did you fall for his heart but also for his looks.

- Looks did matter, in fact. - He's handsome!

I'm not into pretty faces that look chiseled.

- I prefer... - You get sick of those easily, right?

faces that look more free!

- Like mine? - Yes.

I love faces that look so free.

Thank you so much.

Be honest with me, Defconn.

Are you not satisfied with how you look?

- Be honest. - No, I'm satisfied.

You're okay with it, right?

I had this face through my teens and 20s.

I was told I looked too old for my age,

but now that I'm older, people think I look younger for my age.

- Exactly! I'm two years younger, right? - Yes.

You were born in 1977?

I was born in the year of the dragon. I'm about 2 to 3 years older.

You can't tell us how old you are here?

- Because you're a superstar? - No, I...

I'm not married yet.

- You want to stay a bit mysterious. - Yes.

My future wife might be here. I don't want to scare her.

Why would you wish something so bad on my audience?

Am I really that lame?

Everyone's laughing, but why is nobody denying it?

Right.

Watch out on your way out. If I bump my shoulder into you,

we're dating from that point, okay?

You've become one of the nation's favorite hosts.

You're on the same level as Kang Ho Dong, Shin Dong Yeob,

- and Yu Jae Seok. - No way.

- That's not true. - Okay.

I'm like a host for the locals.

- For the locals! - Just in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do.

- I see. - I need to be loved by all of Korea...

to be one of Korea's favorite hosts, but I'm not sure I can do that.

- Why not? - I'm not skilled enough for that.

Many more people recognize you...

after you've begun hosting the show...

- and try to book you for gigs, right? - That's true.

Yes, I get a lot of invites to different shows,

but as you know from watching "I am Solo,"

- the show just suits me so well. - That's true.

I'm thankful as it feels like I've met the best show of my life.

Almost all of my celebrity colleagues watch the show.

- Exactly. - That's why they come to me every day...

and sneakily ask me for spoilers.

And I have to try hard to avoid spoiling the show.

It's a true struggle.

You watch the show on the monitor on the set.

Are things even more dramatic there?

- Yes. - Is that so?

Let's not call it "dramatic."

- Is it more fun? - Yes, it is.

- Even more fun! - It's funnier.

- Funnier! - And more exciting.

And some parts are edited out before airing the show?

Yes, that happens at times.

- That's too bad. - We try to protect the cast.

But we get to see the real deal.

- That must be so fun! - That's a huge host privilege.

Which alias do you think you would've gotten...

- if you were on the show? - Me?

I would've...

- Who? - Ok Soon!

- Ok Soon? - Ok Soon!

- I want to be Hyun Sook, but... - You're Ok Soon.

You're definitely Ok Soon.

- You're saying I'm pretty, right? - In the final selection...

- Would nobody choose me? - No.

Had you been on the show,

all six male contestants on the show,

the production crew, and the whole village...

- would've chosen you. - No, that's not true.

I'm always popular at first, but that never lasts until the end.

No, the Hyo Ri I know...

would totally take over the show.

I asked you a lot about you as a host today,

but you were invited here as a singer!

- Not as a host? - No, as Defconn, the singer!

I thought I was invited as a show host.

No, we're done talking about you as a host now.

- Is that true? - Let's talk about your music now.

But I don't want to talk about my music.

Why not? Why haven't you been making music lately?

- I've closed down in that field. - Why?

As you know yourself,

music makes you lose money, but being on shows makes you money.

It doesn't earn you money?

I'm at that age where I need to focus on earning money.

As you probably know as well,

- your new song... - Yes.

- Was it "Dolphin Pants" or what? - "Dolphin Pants!"

- What was it? - It was "HOODIE E BANBAJI."

Oh, "HOODIE E BANBAJI!" I'm sorry.

- The cold must be getting to me. - "Dolphin Pants," really?

I'm sorry. Anyway...

- I'm sorry. But anyway... - This is just how it is.

- This is how it is! - You watched this show, right?

- Of course! - From Episode One?

When Dong Yeob came out...

and talked away before singing his favorite song ever,

- he looked so cool. - Right?

And this is only a segment possible because you're the host, Hyo Ri.

The senior colleagues in showbiz will definitely join you...

as you're Hyo Ri. Gyeong Gyu could come here,

talk, and calmly sing his favorite song too.

- I can already picture it. - That'd be great.

- You could make it happen. - I'd love to see them here.

- Don't just do this for a season. - No?

- Turn "The Seasons" into "The Year." - "The Year!"

- And keep hosting the show. - I'd love to do that.

Hyo Ri is such a great host, right?

I have a lot of connections,

- from senior to junior colleagues. - She knows everyone.

- I'm so happy I can see all of them here. - It's great.

Defconn, your signature song is "HipHop Kindergarten."
