"When Jae Seok won the Grand Award,"

"I cursed."

"I was on the Cannes' red carpet..."

"before Jeon Do Yeon."

"You're being propagated now."

"Drugs are hidden..."

"in my house's condensing unit."

"The Billboard-dominating girl group..."

"that only Koreans don't know about?"

"The culprit who tipped it off to a reporter is here?"

Twelve talkers' hot rally...

to get the heart button.

The panelists are responding explosively too.

- Nice. - Guys, are you listening well?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Thank you for your hard work.

- Let's continue with this mood. - Right.

A talk battle is about the flow too.

- That's right. - Exactly.

At this rate. we need a world-class player.

- Yes. we need to send him out. - That's right.

- To bring the uptrend to our side. - Yes.

We need a legend.

- A world-class star. - Yes.

TikTok. YouTube...

- Yes. - Yes.

Roughly added up.

there are 5.280.000 followers.

- What? - Really?

How many?

Who is he?

World-class.

Bangkok. Hong Kong. Singapore.

Taiwan. Indonesia. and Malaysia.

- Asian countries. - He goes on a world tour.

I don't think we have someone who fits that description.

No matter how many times I look...

Someone might pop up from here.

- The idol of comedians. - What?

Show us the thumbnail.

(When Jae Seok won the Grand Award. I cursed!)

(When Jae Seok won the Grand Award. I cursed!)

What?

(Thumbnail Battle : The Strongest Hearts)

(When Jae Seok won the Grand Award. I cursed!)

Sure. he's a world-class comedian.

- "The idol of comedians?" - He's a world-class comedian.

(The use of the term. "world-class." is controversial.)

- Hey. Hold on. - He's the world-class comedian?

- "World-class." - Ho Dong.

They were ranked 19th place on the Billboard Chart.

If you introduce me like that.

- I'll end up getting criticized. - No.

Why did you keep using the word. "world-class?"

- But you have a lot of fans abroad. - Because you're indeed world-class.

You have over five million fans abroad.

Well...

- That's a fact. - It's iffy to say I'm world-class.

But it's iffy to say that I'm not.

- Gosh. - Gosh.

To be honest.

I'm popular on social media platforms like YouTube...

- and TikTok. - Yes, TikTok.

- You're popular on TikTok. - Yes.

- Right. - Yes.

I have about 2.5 million followers.

- Gosh. - He's active there.

I have over 2.6 million followers on Instagram.

Really?

I have about 600.000 subscribers on YouTube.

- Given my track record. - He is world-class.

I should be considered hip compared to other men around my age.

- You're really hip. - You're so hip.

- On your natal day... - Yes.

- And on my birthday... - "Natal day."

That makes me sound like an old man.

- His 70th birthday. - His 70th birthday.

What did you do on your 70th birthday?

- What did you do? - Are you sure you're on my team?

All right. On my birthday...

I couldn't believe my eyes.

- What? - It was at Hongdae.

- Hongdae. - Hongdae.

- On the screen at Hongdae Station. - The subway screen?

my fans bought the slot for a week...

and played my video on it.

- Gosh. - Oh, my.

- Only idol stars get that. - Right.

- For their birthdays. - You have a fan club?

- Even we never got that. - Next to my screen...

Next to my screen.

there was one for Jin of BTS.

I guess his birthday was around the same time.

Jin's video was playing.

- And my video was next to his. - Gosh.

It costs a lot of money...

- to buy that slot. - Of course.

I just saw it. Gosh.

Right here.

(World-Class Jee was happy to see his birthday advertisement.)

Look at this. Gosh.

You can see me on the screen. right?

Right here.

- Dong Pyo. you're an idol star too. - Yes.

Have you gotten a present like this for your birthday?

Yes. I have.

- I went there and took pictures. - Really?

- I see. - I took pictures to remember that.

Okay. So your fans did this for you too. Edit this out then.

- Hey. YoungTak. - What? Seok Jin.

- Yes. Of course. - You've gotten one too, right?

Yes. Let's forget about this then.

- What was that? - Everyone got it too.

Gosh. this isn't going well.

By the way. didn't you do a fan meet...

in the Philippines recently?

(He had a fan meet in the Philippines?)

- What? Really? - Really?

I did have a fan meet a while ago in the Philippines.

- Was it a solo fan meet? - Do you think I did it alone?

(Dong Hyun brought up the other celebrities at the fan meet.)

- Dong Hyun. - Yes.

- I know myself too well. - Okay.

You did it as a team.

- By the way. we do recognize... - Yes.

that going abroad to meet fans is rare.

- Of course. - However...

(They agree that he's a world-class comedian, but...)

But we checked out the story thoroughly.

- After some digging. I learned... - Gosh.

- it was for "Running Man." - Yes. Of course.

When the whole cast went abroad for the event, the bodyguards...

made sure everyone was safe.

But they left out Seok Jin from their security detail.

- What? Really? - I see.

We need you to explain this to us.

- Explain this to us. - Gosh.

- You see. this... - Yes.

You've gotten so annoying.

He wasn't like that before. But he's so annoying now.

This is the highest degree of annoyance.

But I know what you mean. Let me elaborate.

- Why did we hear about this? - He'll explain that in a bit.

- Why? - Let me explain.

- Okay. - Here's what happened.

We had just landed at the airport. And you know what?

I could hear thousands of people screaming.

- I heard them screaming. - That's hectic.

- That's cool. - Our show was fairly new back then.

We weren't sure if they were all screaming for us.

(That was when they didn't know how popular the show was abroad.)

- We couldn't even imagine that. - It was so loud.

We thought if BigBang had arrived too.

- All of us thought that. - I see.

"Another group must be here." We didn't think it was us.

When we came out of the gate.

- they were waiting for us. - Gosh.

We saw our names on the banners. Kwang Soo, Jae Seok, and Jong Kook.

Among them. a few of them had my name.

(Fans of "Running Man" filled the airport.)

(Getting a taste of being a world-class comedian...)

- I was really grateful. - Gosh.

- We were dazed too. - You must have been dazed.

We were flustered. So we were walking away.

- But our fans... - Yes.

- walked toward us. - They swarmed around you.

We didn't see that coming. And neither did the bodyguards.

- I see. - They got past the bodyguards?

Gosh. The bodyguards were amazing.

They enclosed us in a circle like this. We were in the middle.

They made a barrier with their bodies.

(Protect the members of "Running Man.")

But I was outside the barrier.

But I was outside the barrier.

(The members of "Running Man" without Seok Jin)

- Oh. no. - You were outside the barrier.

- I... - Were you the only one?

- It was just me. - Gosh.

Why did they forget about you?

I was a member of the show too.

"I'm a member too."

So I tapped on his shoulder to tell him.

- I said. "Hey. I'm a member too." - "I'm one of them."

- He pushed me away. - "I'm a member."

Oh. no.

(He tried to get in. but it didn't work.)

I guess I didn't look like a celebrity to them.

But I don't really get it.

(He overcame the humiliation of the barrier incident.)

(And he's found another talent as the master of TikTok.)

(He tries out all the hip and popular activities.)

(The hip middle-aged man in the TV industry)

(had shown potential to be hip from the beginning?)

I'm Jee Seok Jin.
