Kids These Days (요즘 애들)

We're curious about kids these days in Korea.

Shall we meet them?

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

We are... - Hello.

We are... - Where...

Where are we?

We were in the space probe until last week.

Finally we have landed on Earth. - We have landed on earth?

We are on earth now.

We got off from the probe within seven episodes?

Well...We didn't really "get off". - The last stop?

We are sitting in front of the stand, the very familiar to you.

We are back home safely. - Yes, we are.

Don't we usually have an audience in the stand?

That's not it. - It seems very empty.

Unfortunately, things are not going well for us.

It's worse than you think.

But we never know. - Maybe.

We also have downsized emcees. - Yes, it's too bad.

Now on we'll go on with four emcees.

The old saying is right. "There's no order who leaves first".

That's right.

Seul Gi went abroad.

I see. - She's on a world tour.

As Shin Young said, - She's busy.

Seul Gi is busy with overseas schedule.

As far as I know, Hyun Min is not that busy.

Hey! - Come on!

Keep your mouth shut.

I'm sorry but you should keep your mouth closed, Hyun Min is angry.

Pardon me, but I think they also have downsized the cameras.

Yes, you are right.

Everything has been downsized. - It's deserted.

Everything else can diminish except for this one thing.

What is that? - The "fun" can't be diminished.

That's right. - It should grow.

How can we do that? - Emcees can decrease,

but the fun shouldn't. - But the fun shouldn't.

Don't pay too much attention to your outfits today.

Because you might have to wear tights next week.

The number of people may decrease but the fun should never decrease.

We are running an emergency system right now.

Also we've changed the way we meet the kids these days.

That's right. We have changed a bit.

According to the viewers, it's okay that we meet them,

but we watch too many videos. - We watch too many videos.

It's taking us too long to watch all 10 of them.

So now we are only going to watch three videos.

3 teams! - 3 teams!

3 teams. - We'll choose only 1 team...

among those three teams.

Until last week, we went to meet the week after, right?

But today,

we'll meet them right away. - Let's go right away.

We'll choose and call them. - Right away?

If they say yes, we'll go see them right away.

We'll go right away? - That's right.

There is one more thing.

We'll no longer be able to have kids and adults partners.

It's impossible.

Why not? - We will all visit them together.

Oh, really? - I'm the only kid here.

All four of us will visit them together.

We'll all go. - That's right.

You and I will go together? - Yes, you will.

I'm sorry, but can't you just stay in the studio?

No, we all should go together.

Until now, the TV programs have been overindulging Jung Hwan.

You're right. - What?

He needs to be harshly trained.

"Harshly"! - That's right.

He's been treated like a young master. This ends now.

You should be treated harshly. - You worked only in studios.

That's right. - Be my guest.

All right. - All right.

The "Kids These Days" is seeking change for the better.

Let's watch the first video.

Please introduce...

the first video, Haon. - Okay.

Shall we meet them?

You're also walking on thin ice.

I have this feeling that I might not be able to see you next week.

Please give me one more chance. - Haon! Do it with sincerity.

Please give me one more chance. - Haon!

It's only been a while since he came of age.

That's right. - He's already asking for...

another chance already.

Let's meet them. - Okay, let's get it!

Let's get it. - Let's get it.

"Lee Sang Won". - "Lee Sang Won".

"Everything depends on the mind"? - "Everything depends on the mind".

What's does that mean?

What is that? - What?

This is intense. - What is this?

Why is he cutting his hair?

Is he's filming an action movie? - A movie?

Maybe it's a parody of a movie.

Who is that? Is she his mother? - Is he shaving his head?

I think so.

That's his mother? - Is he joining the military?

That's his real hair, right? - Yes.

Maybe he's shaving his head to join the military.

But it seems too short. - It's too short.

That's too close-cropped. - Maybe he's going to the temple.

Hello.

I'm a junior at Dongguk University, and I major in Buddhism.

I'm Su Jin.

He is a Buddhist monk.

He is a Buddhist monk. - Yes, he is.

The reason I applied to Kids These Days of JTBC is...

to show you there is a kid these days going down a different path.

Amazing.

There are various paths in life.

Among those paths, - Haon likes this.

this path might be a bit unfamiliar.

I'd like to introduce you to the path that I chose.

Haon is very interested in this. - Right.

I've always been wanting to experience a temple stay program.

February 27th, 2015.

His mom did narration? - That's his mom?

He has registered himself as a monk at Tongdosa.

And he spent the first half year no better than...

the life of an insect.

But he endured that...

difficult and lonely time.

Tomorrow... - So that's what it was.

His mom gave him a haircut herself.

That's...

He fulfilled the training for six months.

His mother shaved his head. - As a monk,

he received his first commandments.

He gave up the life as "Lee Sang Won".

He got a new Buddhist name, "Su Jin".

I see. - "Su Jin".

The previous life before the age of 20 seems like a dream.

This is so touching.

His mother's narration makes the story even more touching.

Now he will leave the loving family.

And he will go down on his own path.

The brothers look alike to their father.

All three of them look exactly alike.

People ask me why I have become a monk.

From early childhood,

all lot of monks asked me,

"Why don't you become a monk?"

So making the decision wasn't too hard or unfamiliar.

I'm getting curious.

It was so natural for me.

I'm curious about Monk Su Jin. - I agree.

If you come to visit me,

besides my life of praying and practicing asceticism,

I want to share my daily life.

Can he do that? - A monk is playing with a gun.

Can he really do that? - It's exciting.

Isn't that the tripod?

Yes, it is.

Did he just played with it like a machine gun?

He's a Rambo monk. - What do you mean Rambo?

He is a Rambo monk. - A Rambo monk.

He's a monk these days.

The ascetic path is not as hard as it looks.

I want to share my path with you.

My goodness. - Oh, wow.

Lee Sang Won. He's Monk Su Jin.

He's Monk Su Jin. - Yes.

Wow, he's amazing.

I'm also curious as to why he chose to become a monk.

Right. - I want to know the reason.

Have you ever wanted to run away from this world?

Every day.

I want to leave this place.

Here? - No, the world.

Right. - I can't leave this show.

This is also a part of it. - This is the world as well.

It's a popular, worldly place. - This is the worldliest place.

It's a popular place. - Various people...

and various things exist here. It's the place of greed.

There are greed and ambition. - Right.

I see. - Yes.

There's something I'm curious about.

You've been here for 30 years. - Yes, that's correct.

Have you ever wanted to leave?

Honestly...

I'm being frank.

I love this worldly place.

Seriously. - You've been tainted.

I love it too. - I'm serious.

You're an addict. - Not even once?

Not at all. I love it.

You're a worldly addict. - Yes, I'm a worldly clubber.

What?

A worldly clubber. - We just watched a monk.

How could you say that? - Let me explain. I won't...

be able to say this in front of him,

but I'm a worldly clubber. I like that expression.

I'm a WM.

What does that stand for? - A worldly maniac.

Gosh.

I love it. I love this world.

Right. I know that sometimes you may find this world difficult.
