It's time for Ho Dong's friends to talk.

Friends, are you ready?

- We're ready. - We're ready.

They're doing a skit.

Show the thumbnails of my friends.

Show us.

- Let's go. - What will they be?

Thumbnail Battle : The Strongest Hearts.

I can't wait to find out.

Thumbnail Battle : The Strongest Hearts.

(Independent for 16 years in the entertainment industry!)

(Team Kang or Team Yu, what's his choice?)

They're intense.

"Independent for 16 years in the entertainment industry."

"Team Kang or Team Yu, what's his choice?"

"Ho Dong, give me back my 10,000 dollars."

- What's this? - "My 10,000 dollars?"

- "My 10,000 dollars?" - Did you borrow money?

- "My 10,000 dollars?" - That's a lot.

- That's too much. - That's a lot indeed.

What's happening?

Ho Dong normally pays back what he borrowed.

I may exaggerate at times,

but I don't lie.

- In my 30 years in showbiz, - That's right.

I only spoke the truth.

I mean, 10,000 dollars...

- I want to know more about this. - What's this?

Actually, the staff wanted Hye Lyun on the show since long ago.

But she kept refusing.

- Why? - Why?

Did Ho Dong really owe you money...

- that you came here today? - Ho Dong...

She'll feel uncomfortable.

She wouldn't want to see you.

What...

Were you that curious?

What's wrong with being curious?

She's asking you to give back her 10,000 dollars.

What's wrong with being curious about that?

Nothing's wrong. I'm curious too.

Actually, a lot of people...

avoid this show.

It's because of Seok Jin.

- Why? - Seok Jin...

- was on the first episode. - Yes.

He became the Strongest Heart.

- Yes. - Did he become the Strongest Heart?

- Yes. - I was on a call with him,

and he said,

"Hye Lyun. The Strongest Hearts..."

- What? - Yes.

"It takes 12 hours to film."

- The 1st episode took long to film. - The 1st episode was quite long.

That was a rough day.

"It's so tough. Think twice before going on the show."

That's why I turned down the offer...

with an excuse.

We should make a complaint...

- to Seok Jin. - Send a certificate of contents.

Let's not give him the Grand Award.

We filmed the previous part just now.

- It took less than 3 hours. - Yes, it was less than 3 hours.

- It was perfectly fine. - Yes.

- But... - Even Lee Gyeong Gyu...

wouldn't make a complaint.

Exactly. If the filming time doesn't decrease,

we decrease the number of people.

- That's right. - Really?

It's not obvious, but we have fewer people now.

- Exactly. - He's gone.

He disappeared.

Soo Chan left.

We even cater to your schedule.

You want to talk about yourself...

and leave without listening to others?

That's what he did.

Go. You can leave.

It's so new to see them disappear when you edit.

One moment, they're there. The next, they're gone.

Ho Dong changed a lot.

Last time, he would say, "Take the filming seriously."

"Do it until the end."

"Do it until you die here." He used to say this.

Until we die?

(Ho Dong's military academy ended when you died.)

He filmed for 7 to 8 hours like that.

He must've aged too.

Ho Dong. Gosh.

Let's talk about your thumbnail.

- Did Ho Dong... - Yes.

- really borrow 10,000 dollars... - Yes.

from you?

"Give me back my 10,000 dollars."

I did talk about this once or twice on variety shows.

- But he still didn't pay back? - But I said it casually.

I never said it in front of Ho Dong.

- Today's the day. - Today's the day.

- They're finally face-to-face. - Today's the day.

They finally met.

He might get upset if I say this in a private setting.

It's better to make it public on a show. Right?

Make it official.

Of course. Dear viewers, be my witnesses.

- It happened 12 years ago. - It was 12 years ago.

I remember it clearly.

There would be a tremendous amount of interest then.

- The interest. - There's a lot.

The interest is 100,000 dollars.

My goodness.

It was on my mother, Choi Bok Soon's 70th birthday party.

My gosh.

- Everyone came, - Gosh.

and Kim Hak Rae was the MC.

- It was incredible. - Everyone came.

From over there, a guy with a big head came.

"Hye Lyun, I came."

Ho Dong came like that to Yeouido.

She's my friend.

- Since he was a friend, he came. - She's like my mother too.

- He gave me an envelope and left. - Oh, my.

I passed it to my brother-in-law.

They went bananas.

- Why? - It...

My brother-in-law said,

"Ho Dong, this guy..."

I asked why.

"Ho Dong paid 10,000 dollars."

- Oh, my. - Gosh.

- For a 70th birthday party? - Really?

Really? That's incredible.

Millions of thoughts passed by me.

- "What is Ho Dong to me?" - Really?

- Back then... - That's right.

- I... - She must be reminded of that time.

- "Ho Dong." - That's right.

"You really thought of me as your friend."

- That's true. - My mom...

We had talked about my mom before too.

- I see. - I see.

"Because she had a hard time raising eight children,"

"did he pay 1,200 dollars per person?"

I was so touched.

But he didn't pay exactly 10,000 dollars.

When I opened the envelope, there was 10,200 dollars.

- What? - There was 10,200 dollars?

- There was 10,200 dollars? - What's with the 200 dollars?

It's a tip.

I thought, "Is this for 3.3 percent of withholding tax?"

What's with that?

The amount didn't seem neat.

- What's going on? - I wondered, "What happened?"

But my mom said, "Ho Dong is different."

"Looking at how he came here from Jinju..."

"and making it in this industry, he sure is different."

"He's going to become big. Stay as good friends with him."

She said that.

Then, Ho Dong called.

- Yes. - Gosh.

"Hye Lyun." "Yes, Ho Dong."

"Hye Lyun, I'm sorry."

"I was supposed to put in 100 dollars,"

"but I accidentally put in 10,000 dollars."

(He accidentally put in 10,000 dollars...)

- What? - What?

Oh, dear.

"Hye Lyun."

"I think my 10,000 dollars went there."

"Can you check?"

- My goodness. - No way.

- Gosh. - My goodness.

He was going to pay 300 dollars,

but he put in 10,000 dollars with 2 extra 0s.

So he put in 10,200 dollars.

He confused the notes.

- He wanted to add 3 checks... - He wanted to put in 3.

- worth 100 dollars each. - He wanted to put in 3.

But 1 of them was 10,000 dollars worth.

Still, how could he confuse that?

To him, I'm worth 300 dollars.

You're not.

Back then, 300 dollars was a lot.

- It was a huge amount. - It wasn't little.

Of course. It was,

but it went from 10,200 dollars...

- to 300 dollars. - Right. It feels like it decreased.

- So it decreased a lot. - You would've felt upset.

You would've felt upset even after getting 300 dollars.
