The first 199 lines.
Gangdong-gu is basically your territory.
Right.
(Three mysterious men approach from a distance.)
You hired a coffee truck for us.
- Oh, yes. I did. - Thank you for the coffee.
I wanted to treat the staff of our show...
- in the beginning of the new year. - I see.
After getting this piece of information,
I couldn't wait to talk about it.
What kind of information did you get?
I'm looking forward to the combination of the three.
- Right. - Yes.
- We have three amazing guests. - Yes.
- I'm so excited to meet them. - Yes.
Be careful. It's slippery.
Right. It could crack our heads.
Let me hold your hand.
(Park Hae Joon, Park Jeong Min, and Zo In Sung)
(Today, he's emerging from a chilly neighborhood, Gangdong.)
(Back in the day, he used to stay in the warm city, Bali.)
(Then he was once caught in a sudden rain.)
(He went around to collect debts too.)
(He proved he was more than just a handsome face.)
(He stood out as a romantic actor at the awards ceremony.)
(But he's actually the master of hyper-realistic acting.)
(A true master of the craft never blames his tools.)
(This line infuriated the whole country.)
(Then his character, Gwan Sik, made everyone cry.)
- Hello. - Hi.
- Can we take one too? - Yes.
- Here's the chamomile tea. - Thank you.
- Enjoy. - Thanks.
- I'll enjoy it. Thank you. - Thank you.
Where do we need to go?
There?
Can we enter?
Are we starting right away?
This is great.
Some people had three cups.
People usually drink two when there's a coffee truck.
- My gosh. - Gosh.
Hello.
- My gosh. - My gosh.
- Hello. - In Sung.
- Bye. - Why are you leaving?
Why aren't you coming in?
- Jeong Min, where are you going? - Where are you going?
- We're just dropping by. - We were just in the neighborhood.
- Really? - You're just dropping by?
My gosh, Jeong Min. How long has it been?
- It's been a while. - Jeong Min.
(They enter with a smile after the little skit.)
- Zo In Sung. - Have you been well?
- Hello. - Nice to see you.
- It's been a while. Sit down. - It's been a while.
- Hae Joon. - Hey.
It's been a while.
- Please sit down. - Yes.
My gosh.
- What's wrong? - It's so cold.
It's freezing.
Are you sure we should be filming today?
- I'm sure. - Really?
- We don't let anything stop us. - I see.
But it's warm in here.
- Right. - Yes.
I'm sure we won't be walking around outside all day.
- Jeong Min, can you see anything? - Right.
- Jeong Min, can you see anything? - Right.
- Is your book company doing well? - Yes, thanks to you.
- I see. - Yes.
- He's running a publishing house. - Right.
- Jeong Min does so many things. - That got a lot of attention.
- Exactly. - Yes.
- I have you to thank for that. - Gosh, no.
Are you selling a lot of books?
- Yes. - I see.
Did Jae Suk help your business?
- No, I didn't help his business. - Well...
- He was a big help. - He was on "You Quiz on the Block."
- He mentioned his company. - He brought up his company...
- on the show. - He didn't appear on the show...
as a celebrity,
- but as an owner of the company. - Right.
Have you guys worked with or met Yeon Seok?
- We play golf together. - I've met In Sung. Yes, we do.
- Really? - I worked with Hae Joon...
- and Jeong Min on projects. - Yes.
- We filmed "Hwayi" together. - "Hwayi."
- You filmed "Hwayi" together. - Right. "Hwayi."
- Jeong Min and I filmed... - What about Jeong Min?
- a drama a long time ago. - It was a long time ago.
- It was "Midnight Hospital." - It was 15 years ago.
- It was 15 years ago? - Yes.
That was a long time ago.
- We both wore school uniforms. - Right.
- Really? - Yes.
Then it must've been at the start of Jeong Min's career.
- It was the year I made my debut. - Right. He was a rookie.
- Really? - Yes.
Did Yeon Seok cross any lines back then?
- No, he was quite the star then. - I see.
- Why would I cross the line? - He didn't cross any lines?
- Luckily, he didn't. - Did he look down on you?
He had just become a star, so he was super careful.
- I wasn't famous then. - I see.
I wasn't famous then.
- He was super famous then. - We were all rookies.
- He was being careful then. - No.
I wasn't famous.
- Gosh, Yeon Seok. - Back then...
- I saw In Sung's press conference. - Yes.
- I did. - I see.
- It was for "HUMINT." - "HUMINT."
The term, humint, means secret agents, right?
It's a compound word of human...
- and intelligence. - Right.
Could you introduce the movie briefly?
I rarely ask for introductions, but I'm curious.
- "HUMINT" is a movie... - Yes.
that takes place in a chilling city, Vladivostok,
a place where the truth and secrets get buried.
- It's a story of characters... - Right.
clashing over conflicting goals.
(Section Chief Jo, an NIS agent, who tries to protect his sources)
(Section Chief Jo's source, a North Korean woman named Seon Hwa)
(A North Korean agent, Park Geon, who has a history with Seon Hwa)
(Consul General, Hwang Chi Seong, who tries to conceal something)
(who directed "The Berlin File" and "Smugglers")
- I see. - The movie was set in Vladivostok?
Right. Plot-wise, it was.
But we filmed in Latvia.
- In Latvia? - Yes.
Actually, do you know the headline I saw?
"This Will Be Zo In Sung's Year." Right?
It's his year.
Many of his movies will come out this year.
Three movies will come out in a row.
- This wasn't my plan. - Right?
- This wasn't planned. - Sometimes, all of projects...
- come out at the same time. - All at once.
In Sung, didn't you go to school...
- in Gangdong-gu? - Right.
Did you grow up around here?
- In Sung is Gangdong's Son. - Really?
- He's Gangdong's Son. - Guardian of Gangdong.
Yes, he's the Guardian of Gangdong.
I went to elementary school, middle school, and high school here.
- Well, this is your turf then. - Really?
I lived here even until...
- I was filming "A Dirty Carnival." - Really?
Then I moved to Bangi-dong,
- Songpa-gu. - You live in Songpa now.
I'm the old man who lives alone in Bangi-dong now.
I started as Gangdong's Son.
- I'm an old man in Bangi-dong now. - You're in Bangi-dong now.
- You didn't move far, though. - That's what he calls himself.
- An old man living alone in Bangi. - An old man who lives alone.
I know some people who used to live in Gangdong.
- A lot of people did. - Director Ryoo Seung Wan is one.
Director Kang Full too.
- Right. - Director Kang Full...
- lives around here. - Director Kang Full too.
People who used to live in Gangdong take great pride in the area.
They're very proud of it.
It's just a sense of pride.
But you guys are way too proud of it.
- In what ways? - Is it excessive?
Gangdong has many good schools.
There are many famous schools in Gangdong-gu.
- There are many renowned schools. - Right, indeed.
Gosh, I got it.
Look at Jeong Min. He's laughing at In Sung.
- Where's your hometown then? - I grew up in Bundang.
- Bundang. - Yes. The new town.
- What about you? - I grew up in Busan.
- Busan. - Busan.
I'm from Sujeong-dong.
- Sujeong-dong. - It's in front of Busan Station.
- I grew up there. - I see.
I met him on "You Quiz on the Block."
I was quite surprised when I found this out about him.
I thought he was a theater actor for a very long time...
and struggled with his acting career.
Then I thought he made it many years after his debut.
But it turned out I was wrong.
His family gave him the security deposit for the house.
Really?
He lived a comfortable life.
- He... - He had it easy?
He didn't struggle much.
But once I joined this industry,
they stopped supporting me financially.
But they still gave you the security deposit for the house.
Yes. That's...
I'm getting the feeling...
- that your family was... - Yes?
quite affluent in Sujeong-dong.
- So... - He can spot wealth...
