Omniscient Interfering View (The Manager / 전지적 참견 시점)

Even on the Lunar New Year, we guarantee the fun.

Let's begin The Manager.

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

Today is the day of the Lunar New Year.

Please welcome Lee Gook Ju, who can cook...

a delicious rice cake soup on the Lunar New Year.

Hello. I am going to enjoy great food again this year.

The speech he gave at the 2023 KBS Drama Awards...

- had become a huge hit. - He's coming here?

And he rose to stardom. Lee Jae Won!

(The actor who rose to stardom, Lee Jae Won)

(From "The Man from Nowhere" to "Welcome to Samdal-ri,")

(he played charming supporting characters.)

(He's a veteran actor with 17 years of experience.)

(He's the man from the meme with 10 million views.)

(And he's also the man who steals women's hearts.)

(He's known for looking like Oh Jung Se.)

(Recently, his witty speech became a huge hit.)

(My dear brother, and sister-in-law.)

(He thanked his siblings for lending him money and his fans.)

(His honesty and charm made him rise to stardom.)

- Lee Jae Won! - Lee Jae Won!

- Stardom! - I'm Lee Jae Won...

who rose to stardom.

He looks more handsome now.

Hosting the award ceremony,

I hear people thanking others when they receive an award.

He was the first person who mentioned everyone's name...

and still did not sound boring.

I was surprised.

He mentioned every one of his fans.

- Right. - And...

on the very first variety show Jae Won appeared,

Hyun Hee happened to be there.

- "Radio Star." - Yes.

- She was there. - And she sat next to him too.

She strictly taught you about how to be on a variety show.

(Jae Won was nervous to be on a variety show for the first time.)

(And she gave him a Spartan training.)

(The two showed off their student-teacher chemistry.)

Thanks to Hyun Hee, it turned out really well.

At the "Radio Star" shoot,

he danced really nicely.

- Did you tap-dance? - But it wasn't on the show.

- I didn't get to see it. - It was edited out.

Was it?

They said they couldn't use it because the sound was missing.

(But it wasn't fun, so the whole thing got edited out.)

- Why don't you show us? - I should tap-dance?

Do it without the background music.

- Without music? - Yes.

Nice.

- Nice. - It's not easy to tap-dance.

Five, six, seven, eight.

(It reminds him of the nightmare of being edited out completely.)

(He moves his body to the instructor's chant,)

I'll stop there.

(He overcame the risk of being edited out with Hyun Hee's help.)

- Thank you. - Nice one.

I think we didn't get the sound today either.

Again?

Again.

Jae Won's daily life is as witty...

and heart-warming as his speech.

(It's a very early morning before the sunrise.)

I'm nervous.

It's real. His hair is messy.

It's very real.

(He comes out of his room and goes straight to the fridge.)

- Goodness. - Goodness.

So pretty.

- You have two children? - Yes.

So cute.

So cute.

She's so beautiful.

- She's beautiful. - Your wife is beautiful.

(You see their wedding photo as soon as you enter.)

- They are so lovely. - I know.

- So neat. - It's very neat.

How can a house with children be so clean?

- So cute. - So cute.

- How old are your children? - So cute.

They are 5 years old and 10 months old.

(There's the trophy he first won after 17 years of acting.)

It's the trophy.

(As soon as he wakes up, he opens the fridge.)

What is he going to do?

- Strawberries? - Strawberries?

He's moving carefully.

(He moves carefully with his mouth clamped up tight.)

He's moving really carefully.

Isn't he at his own place?

- He's the manager. - There's his manager.

Hello. I am Lee Jae Won's manager, Han Deung Kyu.

Cute.

Jae Won and I have been working together for about two years.

He looks young.

I was born in 2000.

Jae Won was born in 1986.

- I am 14 years younger. - He's 14 years younger.

(Is there anything you want to report?)

He often plays characters...

who are flippant and naughty.

So he might seem immature.

But in real life, he's a very warm-hearted,

family-oriented, and down-to-earth man.

Before he got married, his hobby used to be working out.

But now, he says his hobby is looking after his children.

So cute.

My goodness.

(He puts on a concert for his child too.)

- My goodness. - So cute.

I wanted to report just how warm-hearted...

and down-to-earth he is.

(While his wife and children are sleeping,)

(He turns on the water carefully and quietly.)

It's trickling down.

- The children might wake up. - He's afraid it might be too loud.

He's washing his face there.

It's very real.

He washed his face at the sink.

(He starts preparing breakfast for his wife and children.)

(He has to get the strawberries out.)

- Goodness. - That's loud.

That's loud.

Goodness.

- I feel like we should keep quiet. - I know.

Goodness.

It's okay if the children wake up.

But I'm scared of my wife yelling at me for waking the kids.

(It's time to wash the strawberries.)

He turned on the water halfway because it might be too loud.

There's a fruit cleaner?

- Yes. That's the fruit cleaner. - There's a fruit cleaner.

(He's extremely careful even when he closes it.)

(He drains the water with the fruit cleaner.)

(He rinses them again with clean running water.)

Since it's for the children.

He only just got up.

(With the strawberries, he heads somewhere.)

What's that?

- Lastly... - Lastly, he rinses it...

with purified water.

- Goodness. But he's correct. - With purified water.

That's how you should rinse fruit for babies.

(The strawberries that were perfectly rinsed)

No way. He prepared them with love.

Is this your normal morning routine?

No, not exactly.

Since I work hours that are all over the place,

- You do it for them. - I do that for them...

if the opportunity presents itself.

If I'm home when my child has to go to daycare,

I get her ready and see her off.

You do a lot around the house.

- His children would love that. - Exactly.

(He holds it in place with his stomach.)

- He's leaving those for them. - Really?

(It's obvious that he knows how to seal them.)
