Whenever Possible (틈만나면,)

My gosh.

It's warm enough to stay outdoors now.

It's spring.

- Spring has come. - Gosh, it's spring.

So we're in Jongno.

- Changsin-dong. - Changsin-dong.

This is Changsin-dong past Dongdaemun.

- Changsin-dong. - Yes.

We've never opened our show from Changsin-dong before.

I haven't been in the back of Changsin-dong for a while.

Twenty dollars.

Here in Changsin-dong,

I can hear the guy shouting from the truck.

I keep hearing him trying to sell some goods.

Right. Here's another thing. I haven't seen this sign in a while.

The sign that said they were buying gold teeth.

But hearing that makes this place feel a bit homey.

- Yes, that's right. - Right.

Back in the day, I used to wake up...

to the sound of the truck and the vendor shouting...

- when I wanted to sleep in. - Yes. They were selling something.

They used to sell hairtails, vegetables,

- and fruits. - Gosh.

There used to be a lot of trucks like that.

- While my journey here - While my journey here.

(Mysterious singing fills the alley after the truck passes by.)

This is Changsin-dong. Have you been here before?

- No, I've rarely been here. - I was born here.

- Really? Here in Changsin-dong? - Yes.

- I don't think... - Yes.

- I've traveled here before. - Right?

- I'll show you around. - Okay.

We're starting right away.

- They're here. - It's Jun Sang.

- Jun Sang, hello. - Hey.

- It's been a while. - Hello.

- Hey, Son Myeong O. - Hello.

- It's been so long. - Gun Woo.

Gun Woo.

- Jae Seok! - Okay.

- Gangnam Yu. Let's go. - Yes, Jun Sang.

Gosh, Jun Sang.

(Bang Gwi Nam, the national husband from "My Husband Got a Family")

(Lee Pung Sang, the most pitiful man from "Liver or Die")

(He always nailed his character in all of his projects.)

(The flawless actor with 30 years of experience)

(An all-rounder who has also dominated the musical scene)

(He left a strong impression in "The Glory" as Son Myeong O.)

(There's no limit to the characters he can portray.)

- Sit here. - Okay.

It's been a decade since I last saw you, Jun Sang.

- It hasn't been a decade. - Last time...

"Happy Together" was our last show, right?

- Has it been that long? - "Happy Together?"

"Happy Together" was our last show.

- It's been so long then. - On TV...

You haven't invited me to your shows this long?

- My gosh. It's so nice to see you. - Jun Sang...

performs in musicals too.

- Right. - So he talks like he's in one.

- Right. - Yes.

I've never met Gun Woo before.

- You haven't? - I haven't.

- Really? - Yes.

It must be because of the character he played, Son Myeong O.

- So he has a kind face. - He's... Right.

- He has such a kind face. - Right.

I've gained weight too.

- You've gained weight? - Yes, I think so.

You look very slim.

But I gained about 4 to 5kg.

- I see. - Did you gain weight on purpose?

A lot of people told me I looked better with some weight.

They can't easily forget...

- your character from "The Glory." - That's why?

- Right. I think so. - I see.

Did you recently work on a project with Gun Woo?

- Before... - Yes.

- we talk about our project, - Okay.

Let me ask you this. Do you know this neighborhood?

- It's Changsin-dong. - Changsin-dong.

- Right. - Did you grow up here?

I used to live here when I was a kid.

- I see. - I was also born here.

- This is your hometown. - It's Changsin-dong.

- You were also born here? - I was.

- I see. - I lived here until fourth grade.

- You grew up here. - Until fourth grade.

Let me tell you who else lived here.

Paik Nam June.

(His old house was renovated into a memorial hall.)

And Park Su Geun.

Kim Kwang Seok also lived here from what I know.

- He lived here? - He did.

- Many famous writers and artists... - Right.

- lived around this neighborhood. - Artists. Yes.

- Most importantly, - Yes.

There was a man named Kim Sang Ok.

- Okay. - Okay.

He was a Korean independence activist.

He threw a bomb at Jongno Police Station...

against the Japanese policemen.

He kept one bullet left in his gun.

"Long live Korean independence." Then he shot himself.

That's why I have huge pride...

- You have pride. - in this neighborhood.

But this neighborhood is slowly dying.

- I've been trying... - Yes.

To save this neighborhood by attracting attention.

- You've been trying? - Yes.

Well, that's the thing about him. He's...

Wait, where do you live now?

Bundang.

- That's a newly developed city. - Shouldn't a resident...

Given how much you love this neighborhood,

shouldn't you live here?

- Seriously. - So...

- He seems to love Changsin-dong. - But...

- But hear me out. - It's a historical place. I get it.

- After coming here... - At least, he could live...

- in Jongno if not Changsin-dong. - How did they pick this place?

I was so surprised.

- You were born here. - Right.

And you're very proud of this neighborhood.

Besides, there are so many cool places...

- in Changsin-dong. - Yes.

I really hope this neighborhood continues on.

- You know what? - Yes.

Things don't always go as we hope.

I hope we can preserve this neighborhood...

while renovating the buildings.

- I agree. Right. - The buildings become so modern.

Only the guys in their 40s and 50s who are interested in real estate...

Gun Woo doesn't seem so interested.

- How old are you? - I turned 36 this year.

- You should start paying attention. - You're still in your 30s?

- Pardon? - You're still in your 30s?

- Yes. - He looks like he's in his 30s.

Really? We're playing friends in our musical.

- What's the musical about? - It's about...

a Korean independence activist.

Have you heard of Yuhan Corporation?

- Of course. Yu Il Han. - Yes.

- Yu Il Han. - Yes.

We adapted his life story into a musical.

- It's called "Swing Days." - "Swing Days."

- Sang Hun is in the musical? - He said he'd be in it too.

(In 1945 during the Japanese colonial era, )

(a secret intelligence operation for the Korean independence began.)

(Yu Il Hyeong, a key figure who participates in the operation)

(Yasuo, a Japanese officer who opposes the activists)

(Hwang Man Yong, Il Hyeong's friend and partner)

(An original musical about Dr. Yu Il Han's Napko Project...)

I'm playing Dr. Yu Il Han.

And he's playing Colonel Yasuo who was forced to change his name.

- So you're playing the villain. - Yes.

You guys are friends,

- but chose different paths. - We chose different paths.

- Because of the war. - Right.

So you're supposed to be friends?

- Should I do a leg split? - So...

- What should I do? - No.

Gun Woo. Have you performed in musicals before?

This is my fourth musical.

- He's been in many musicals. - You've done many musicals.

I started performing in musicals not long ago.

This is my second musical with Jun Sang.

Once I began performing in musicals, I did one every year.

- So it's my fourth musical now. - My gosh.

- It's your fourth one. - Yes.

But I'm still a mu-kie. It hasn't been that long.

- A musical rookie. - A mu-kie.

- I didn't know about that word. - A mu-kie.

Actually, Yeon Shik performed...

- in musicals too. - I've been in musicals too.

- He performed in many musicals. - Gosh, no. Not really.

That's impressive.

I don't think I'm a mu-kie.

- You're not. - But I still am.

Aren't you a mu-ran?

- What... - A musical veteran?

- Don't shorten everything. - What?

- A mu-kie... - That didn't sound right.

He's a musical rookie. So you're a musical veteran.

What's Jun Sang then? A mu-dad?

- A mu-dad. - A mu-dad.

- He's a mu-dad. - A mu-dad.

Anyway, Jun Sang and Gun Woo are joining us today.

Let's get started.

- Let's go. - You know what I think?

- Jun Sang is an enthusiastic guy. - Right.

- Here... - If you don't want me...

to be enthusiastic, I won't be.

- No, you should be. - Should I be?

- You should be. - Okay.

- You're the son of Changsin. Yes. - The son of Changsin-dong.
