Weekly Idol (주간 아이돌)

Hello. I'm Kwang Hee, the host of Weekly Idol!

Today, I'm in the studio alone.

And I'd like to introduce a special host to you now.

This actor is known as a rising entertainer.

Let's welcome Lee Yi Kyung. Hello!

(Actor Lee Yi Kyung, a blue-chip entertainer)

Lee Yi Kyung!

- Lee Yi Kyung - Lee Yi Kyung

- It'd nice to have you here. - Thanks.

Please say hi.

Hello. I'm Lee Yi Kyung. I debuted nine years ago.

I just called you in a polite way,

but we're actually friends.

- We are. - It's been a long time.

- It is. And I missed you. - Okay.

I heard you invited someone here.

To celebrate my visit to Weekly Idol,

I thought it'd be nice to have a congratulatory performance.

I ran here and there to cast this guy.

Is it Yoo San Seul? Seriously?

You should expect more. Casting him was...

as hard as Brad Pitt. He barely spared time for this.

We can meet a sought-after star like Brad Pitt here?

I really wanted to show you how much effort I put into this.

Then, let me introduce him right away.

Here comes a star that's hotter than Brad Pitt.

- Let's meet him now! - Please come in.

Where's Brad Pitt?

- Wait. - He must be there. Go find him.

(Guys in black suits appear all of a sudden.)

Hello.

(Where is Brad Pitt? Which one is him?)

Is he one of them?

Is he?

Is this what I'm thinking?

(So is Brad Pitt really here among you guys?)

("Leave Work on Time" by Lee Yi Kyung)

- It's Brad Pitt! - Brad Pitt!

Let's go!

What's this?

(The special guest is the rookie singer Lee Yi Kyung.)

- Gosh. - Good.

- That was awesome. - How did you do this in the past?

I'm very jealous.

You listened to this for the first time. How was it?

Honestly, there are many lyrics I totally agree with.

For example?

"Director, President, please go home."

"I hate overtime, and leave on time."

- That's what all think. - Right.

- Leaving work on time is important. - Anyway, you just...

lightened up the mood.

Isn't it much brighter now?

Let's maintain this mood and finish shooting on time.

- Now, let's invite our guests. - Today,

we'll have a rising global idol that captured...

all people's hearts with great performances as soon as it debuted.

EVERGLOW, please come in.

(EVERGLOW, the rookie under the international spotlight)

Welcome!

Wait.

- I'm overwhelmed by their energy. - I know this.

"EVERGLOW."

Amazing.

Please say hi to the viewers.

- We will. Ready? - All right!

Hello, we're EVERGLOW!

It's the second time that EVERGLOW has been here.

But this time, you're here just by yourselves.

How do you feel?

We'll have fun and rule this studio!

How ambitious.

- You're the leader. - Right.

I know that E:U is the leader.

How do you know so well?

I studied a lot about them.

- Really? - Yes.

- I'm a fan of EVERGLOW too. - Thank you.

So as this week's host, I looked up on the internet.

EVERGLOW is amazing.

- Why? - Just in a year after the debut,

EVERGLOW's song was placed in the top ranking...

of many overseas music charts including the US and UK.

And in 16 hours after they released the new music video,

it reached 10 million views.

And at this moment, it reached 70 million views!

(It reached 70 million views in 2 weeks.)

I'm sure your fans are curious about your new title song.

Please introduce it to us.

Our new title song "DUN DUN" is...

a very trendy song that's combined with our powerful performance.

I bet it will satisfy not only your eyes but also ears.

EVERGLOW is famous for its powerful and charismatic performances.

I've seen their performance for the new song already.

- It's amazing. - But...

we need to see their performance live,

so we know how amazing it is.

Let's have a look at EVERGLOW's new song now.

EVERGLOW has made a presence around the world.

You've only debuted less than a year ago,

so we don't know much about you individually.

- Right. - So the segment we've prepared...

is "Fill in the Blanks".

Please fill in the blanks with words...

that best represent your role in EVERGLOW.

(The members are busily filling in the blanks.)

It seems like all of you're done. So one-by-one, show it to us.

- This is mine. - Ta-da.

I'm EVERGLOW's AlphaGo.

- You must be smart like AlphaGo. - No, that's not what I mean.

I answer back like a robot.

But you sounded sincere before.

You didn't answer like a robot. You sounded like a human.

- What kind of way was that? - I'm a human being.

- You talked like a human, did you? - She's indeed a human.

I'll ask her a question to see how similar she is to AlphaGo.

Sihyeon, have you listened to my song "Leave Work on Time"?

- Yes. - Do you think it'll top the charts?

("Leave Work on Time", top the charts)

(System: corresponds to the answer with 0 percent of emotion)

Yes, I think it'll top the charts.

It sounds good, so I'm going to listen to it every day.

I'm happy to hear that.

(He's just happy to hear what he wants to hear.)

Don't say you're happy. She didn't mean it at all.

Sihyeon, where is your soul?

- Where is your soul? - Get it back inside you.

Wasn't it like a knee-jerk reaction?

- It's an unconditioned-reflex. - Right.

Then let's ask one more question.

- Sihyeon. - Yes.

(A pointless question and a pointless expectation)

What do you think of me after seeing me in real life?

Aren't you going to answer?

- She's speechless. - You won't even answer.

She's just lost for words.

- Did you see that? - Sihyeon.

(This highly-developed AI even refuses to answer.)

Even Siri will answer me.

Am I valued less than Siri?

I think Sihyeon is very innocent.

- I think she's not a good liar. - I think so too.

- Let's move on to the next person. - Next in line is Onda.

Let's see what you've written.

I'm EVERGLOW's personal trainer.

I always have breakfast.

I look after my diet by eating healthy food.

I exercise regularly.

I'm curious about what kind of exercise you do.

I'm really famous for being a paper doll,

so I'd like to learn some of the routines from you, Onda.

First of all, you need to work on your lower body.

You need to work on your lower body. You need to work hard.

When did you check my lower body out?

- My legs. - Poor boy.

If you do that, I think you'll be able to stand more firmly.

It will be good if you do a lot of squats.

Why don't we stand up?

We'll have a training session...

- Why don't we do it too? - with Onda.

- Sounds great. - My training session.

- Clasp your hands together. - Right.

Stand with your feet a little wider than your shoulders.

Point your toes out slightly.

(Your toes should be pointing out slightly.)

One.

I can even play games like this.

Let's battle each other.

- Who will last the longest? - How long are we doing this?

(How long are you planning to do this?)

- It's hard. - Sihyeon and E:U need to go down.

Yiren, you need to squat down further.

Hold on one second.

(On the other hand, the trainer is managing well.)

Hold on. It really hurts.

(Training session comes to a stop due to an emergency.)

Okay. No, we need to save Kwang Hee.

- Wait. It really hurts. - Okay.

Do we really have to stay that long?

Yes, you either hold on for a long time or squat many times.

She doesn't sway.

She's very firm.

Her socks are like the ones from the film "300".

It's scaring me.

She's a passionate girl.

- Are you a passionate girl? - Yes.

Until you come back next time, we'll keep at it...

- and have sturdier legs. - Thank you.

Thank you.

So that was the end of our training session with Onda.

Next, let's have a look at Aisha's.

I'm EVERGLOW's reaction.

I'm really curious about how Aisha reacts.

What do you think of her reactions?

First of all, she makes a lot of gestures with her hands.

- Does she? - Yes, a lot.

- I move my hands a lot. - She makes a lot of hand gestures.

For example, she says: "Hello, I'm Aisha."

She does that.

She can't talk with her hands tied, can she?
