Strong Heart League (Kangsimjang Rigeu / 강심장 리그)

On Tuesday nights.

Thumbnail Battle... - Thumbnail Battle...

The Strongest Hearts. - The Strongest Hearts.

Cheers. Let's have a drink.

Cheers.

Today, we have the special among specials.

We have the best special. - Hey.

We have a new face who is here to get Jong Min.

The only female member of KOYOTE, Shinji is here.

Welcome.

Welcome, Shinji.

Hello, I am the only female member of KOYOTE.

Although I haven't gotten married yet,

I am raising two sons. My name is Shinji.

Last week,

your son did a good job of listening to other people.

Yes.

When I heard that he barely opened his mouth,

I thought, "This won't do."

Hurriedly, I came here.

"Hurriedly." - She finished up the schedule.

I finished up the previous schedule and came here hurriedly.

Thank you. - This is great.

As always,

public panelists will vote for today's Strongest Heart.

On the official website of the show,

you can cast your vote until tomorrow noon.

Yes. - Yes.

Thumbnail Battle: The Strongest Hearts.

Do you remember the first Strongest Heart?

Jee Seok Jin.

That's right. - Yes.

The Grand Award candidate, - Yes.

Jee Seok Jin became the first Strongest Heart.

That's right. - But...

we invited someone who actually won the Grand Award.

That's right. - The actual Grand Award winner.

The master of variety shows will turn the show upside down.

The Grand Award winner's thumbnail.

The real Grand Award winner.

The master of variety shows.

Is he pretending to be a fool?

It's always a controversy.

It keeps coming up. - Yes.

"The strategy to survive in '2 Days 1 Night' for 17 years."

"Is he putting on a grand show of pretending to be a fool?"

Is Kim Jong Min a fool...

or someone who is pretending to be a fool?

Is he actually a genius? - Is he a genius?

I don't think he is a genius. Watching the show for 17 years...

let me know that he isn't a genius.

I do want to know if he is acting or not.

That's right. - That's right.

We need to know. - That's right.

In any case,

he is the first Grand Award winner to visit our show.

My goodness.

Jong Min won the Grand Award in 2016.

It's about time he wants to win another Grand Award.

That's right. - That makes sense.

Realistically speaking, it will be too hard to win...

another Grand Award on KBS. - Yes.

In order to take his chance on SBS,

he began starring in "Mom's Diary," "Invitation from Bachelor-agains,"

and Thumbnail Battle: The Strongest Hearts this year.

That's right. - He began starring in SBS shows.

He is on many SBS shows. - I think it's for the award.

He is calculative.

Gosh, that's not true.

That was lackluster.

"Gosh, that's not true." - "Gosh, that's not true."

Didn't you visit the show for your grand scheme?

No, I didn't.

No?

There is another reason why I came to the show.

What? - Okay.

This isn't my place.

This show doesn't suit me.

One day, I was on "Golf Battle: Birdie Buddies."

After filming the show,

I was eating. - Okay.

With the production crew of this show,

I was eating. - Okay.

I am not really good at talking,

so I wasn't going to... I am bad at it.

Yes.

I wasn't even thinking about visiting the show.

But suddenly, Gyeong Gyu went,

"Hey, Jong Min."

"Ho Dong and Seung Gi began a new show,"

"so we should help them." - Okay.

"When are you free?" - Okay.

"Let's visit the show together."

"Let's visit the show together and make it shine."

We were a team on "Golf Battle: Birdie Buddies."

Yes. He asked me, "When are you free?"

"I am free on this date."

It was today, the day of the shoot.

"Okay. Let's decide on that date."

"I will work out my schedule and tell you. You should wait."

So I came to the shoot. - Yes.

But Gyeong Gyu wasn't here.

What happened?

Did he fool you? - I don't know.

That was how I ended up here.

My goodness. - How did that happen?

Did Gyeong Gyu book this schedule? - Yes.

Gyeong Gyu booked this schedule.

Have you been waiting for Gyeong Gyu all along?

Yes. But he didn't come.

Shinji came instead.

Shinji's face hardened upon hearing his words.

Because of Gyeong Gyu,

Jong Min ended up coming here.

And because of Jong Min, I ended up coming here.

It wasn't our original intention,

but the shoot coincided...

with the release of KOYOTE's new song.

I thought it was a great chance...

since we could talk about the new song then.

But he used up his time talking about Gyeong Gyu.

Even during Part One, he didn't say a word about the album.

It was thanks to Kal So Won... - That's right.

that we learned about the album. - So Won brought it up.

That's right. She did. - So Won brought it up.

Really? - Yes.

Then what have you been doing?

He attempted solving a Rubik's Cube...

and ate two meals.

Now that we are on the topic, would you sing a bit of the song?

We would love to sing along.

Jong Min, why don't you sing?

Yes.

Why... Jong Min.

Why did you sing while looking at Shinji?

Look at the front.

I looked at her to check if I was singing in tune.

Shinji always tells me if I am off.

She always does this.

Is he putting on a grand show of pretending to be a fool?

Is he doing that?

Can't we listen to Shinji's version?

The real deal. The singer's version.

It was nice.

It has KOYOTE's unique charms.

She is good.

What would he have done without Shinji?

What would he have done? - Seriously.

I can't even imagine. - Seriously.

You would've been in big trouble. - That thought gave me the chills.

Gosh, without her...

Actually, I'm quite envious of them.

When people think of mixed-gender groups, there are Cool...

and many other groups. - Right.

To this day,

KOYOTE is still together...

and actively performing. - That's amazing.

They have been performing together for 25 years.

This is very impressive. - Seriously.

Is there another mixed-gender group that's been together...

longer than your group?

We're the longest-running group. - Right?

They're real ancestors of singers. - Totally.

If they were a married couple, they would have a silver wedding.

That's such an amazing feat. - Right.

The most important thing that keeps this partnership going...

must be getting paid. - You're spot on.

The ratio. - It has to be about getting paid.

When you get greedy, - This is...

this might cause a problem later. - Right.

I'm curious about that.

I'm curious about how they get paid too.

When the rapper of our group kept changing,

the ratio between Jong Min and me used to be 5 to 5.

It was exactly half and half. - What?

By 100 was a guest rapper then. - Really?
