How Do You Play? (Hangout with Yoo / 놀면 뭐하니?)

Is this your regular hangout?

I've been here 5 or 6 times.

I sat over there.

- In the corner? - Yes.

- Because you're a celebrity? - No!

- It's obvious... - No!

- That's the reason. - It's not. The owner here...

The owner of the restaurant doesn't know that you're famous, right?

Not at all.

I'm just someone who passes by.

Okay, so this...

What kind of company is this?

It's called "JS Entertainment."

I have an agency within the program.

- Okay, and... - And...

One Top is a problem.

We need a main vocalist.

Right. Even back then, that was a drawback.

You weren't the main vocalist.

Young Bae did most of the singing. Taeyang, I mean.

Of the songs you released,

which part did you sing?

In "BANG BANG BANG"...

What was your part?

That part. When the red sky

Your voice isn't working.

- To be honest, - Yes.

my vocal cords have been swollen for two months.

Really?

But I've been taking care of it.

Then this... Gosh...

We can't have a main vocalist with swollen vocal cords.

When do things kick off?

I'll check with my doctor...

- and recover before... - Wait.

You haven't yet joined the group.

Yes, but if I do join. It's an "if."

If...

Why do you look so comical now?

My goodness.

- Jae Seok. - What?

You look just as comical.

Because you're so popular these days,

- you must be full of yourself. - No.

- I'm not like that. - Remember where you stand.

- I do. - You, me.

Yes.

It might sound weird, but there's Yoon Jong Shin too.

Out of us three, I was the ace.

- Be honest, - Hey...

- you were just a great MC. - Hey.

- Hey. - Let's be honest.

- Hang on. Wait. - What I'm saying is...

- At the bottom rung... - Out of us...

Out of us, I was the better-looking guy.

Then you, and then Jong Shin.

Your looks were B-grade. I was A-grade.

Who are you comparing yourself to?

- You admitted you were B-grade. - Oh, gosh... This is crazy.

It's V, not B. I was all visual, a looker.

- "Visual?" - "Visual."

- Okay? "Visual." - Okay.

My word.

Hey. Let's not talk about looks when we eat.

Okay.

It's pointless, like cutting water with a knife.

- We're both... - "Cutting water with a knife?"

Knife with water? Water with...

You can't cut a knife with water.

You repeated after me as if something was off,

and I suddenly wondered if I was wrong.

So have you decided on a genre?

- It has to be a dancy K-pop song. - With dancing.

I'm the best candidate, then.

You're a good dancer.

I can dance, and there has to be some excitement.

- Yes. - Right?

I don't mean to compare.

Just like Taeyang. Rather than dancing impressively,

I show off a certain fun vibe.

While dancing impressively, I do things like this.

Something like that.

- What do you by a Taeyang vibe? - Something like this.

It's something like this.

- What about your vibe? - Mine is like this.

That's it.

- That's perfect. - Exactly.

You've been part of a group before.

Did you say golf?

I don't play golf.

- I said "group." - Oh, you did.

You've done a lot of work as part of a group.

What's the most important thing in working as an idol group?

Being considerate.

- Consideration and sacrifice. - Right.

Being sincere. That all shows in one's body type.

All you do is work out at home.

That's right. That's all I do.

What do you do in your free time?

I take lessons.

You're always taking so many lessons.

- To get better at what I'm bad at. - French lessons, English lessons...

I take a lot of lessons. Pilates, drums, vocal, English,

- Even Pilates? - Japanese...

Yes. And piano lessons.

(He takes lessons whenever he has spare time.)

Let's start memorizing the keys.

(He's always striving to improve himself.)

Shall I start my English homework?

- Those kinds of things. - You have a lot of skills.

I'm learning all of these things because I don't have the skills.

If I had skills, I wouldn't need to learn all this.

- Just a minute. - What?

If you join One Top now, would you be the youngest?

How old is everyone else?

I was born in 1972, Haha in 1979,

Woo Jae in 1986, and Yi Kyung in 1989.

- Gosh. What's this? - You...

- When were you born? - In 1989.

- In that case, are you saying... - Yes.

that Yi Kyung was born in early 1989?

- Yes. - Does that still even matter?

That depends on whether or not...

- the people it affects care. - Well...

That's true. That means I'd be one of the youngest...

- if I were to join. - That's true.

You'd still be one of the youngest in this group too.

(He'd be one of the youngest in One Top.)

- What is it? - The others are so much older.

- Yes. - That does worry me a bit.

What's your biggest concern?

Even younger members should be able to say no to things.

- Of course, they should. - They should be able to speak up.

If you say something like that, that you're not in favor,

we can also say we're not in favor of that.

Meaning we'd both be against each other?

- Okay, so if I disagree with you, - Exactly.

- you would also disagree with me. - I'd be able to express that.

- That's your right. - If you can disagree, so can we.

If I say, "I probably disagree?"

Then we'd say, "Then we probably do too?"

- Okay, so we keep disagreeing. - Yes.

- That sounds good. - Right.

But I will promise this.

Profit is valuable to us.

- Of course, it is. - Okay?

That's not a materialistic value.

- That's obvious. - It's a way to keep the team going.

- Right. If we don't make money, - Of course.

- we can't keep the group going, - That's true. It's to keep going.

- even if we like each other. - You're totally right.

- I'm right, aren't I? - Yes, you're right.

That's why we're splitting the cost of this meal.

For now.

- Okay. - Okay.

What do you think about this? It's pretty cool, right?

- Yes, okay. - But...

- It's nice. - I'll pay.

No. Let's Dutch pay.

That's neater.

- Then you pay the bill. - No, I can't do that.

- Let's keep things neat. - Okay.

- Then for this, we're still... - Let's keep things neat and tidy.

- Since I'm using company funds... - You're right.

I don't like that.

- If you were to buy me this bowl, - Okay.

then I'd feel anxious.

- I don't like getting it for free. - Exactly.

Of course. That's obvious.

Hold on.

I do have your profile here.

- My profile? - I want to ask a few things.

What's this? "The sexy star of Japan?"

A long time ago,

Taeyang went on "Radio Star" and talked about me...

- So that's where it's from. - like that.

(Dae Sung popular in Japan, adds 4 more talk and variety shows)

(He received a lot of love in Japan,)

- I worked as a solo artist there. - As a solo artist.

My fans in Japan still remember me. I thought they would've forgotten.

- I was grateful to them. - I see.

It's a little embarrassing to say this myself,

but the 80s college student thing you were talking about,

no one would even dream of that in Japan.

(As soon as they met, for the first time in a while)

(You seem like a college student from the 1980s.)

- You can't dream of that in Japan. - Exactly.

They'd say, "What?"

"What? Dae Sung seems like a college student from the 80s?"

"Even though he's so cool?" That's what they'd say.

They're very good at Korean.

- What? - They're very good at Korean.

K-pop goes back and forth a lot these days.

"What? How could Dae Sung seem like a college student?"
