============
Jisuk: Although Mr. Kang Ho Dong tried hard to match Jessica and me but I have never contacted Jessica yet.
Yiduk (of Super Junior): Because of those malicious messages on internet.
Jisuk: Compared with those malicious messages on internet, I was not able to go out of my home for one week.
The MCs: Why? Why?
Jisuk: I was afraid of being beaten up!
Kang Ho Dong: Jisuk writes ‘I’m a playboy’ on the board beside him.
Jisuk: In fact, I am absolutely not a playboy when you see me.
Every guest: Aeh!!!
Jisuk: The role I play in the new drama is a playboy doctor.
Kang Ho Dong: Then you just play the role according to your personality, right? You will play your role successfully!
Jisuk: In last “Strong Hear”, Ms. Park Bo Ran said that I was an Academy Killer, which made people have an impression of me as a playboy. To me, that is a great loss, but the ‘Playboy’ image indeed helped me to get selected by the production team of this new drama.
Kang Ho Dong: Did “Strong Hear” help you to be casted in the drama?
Jisuk: Yes. The producer watched “Strong Hear” and he said, “That’s him!”
Kang Ho Dong: What part of the “Strong Hear” was liked by the producer?
Jisuk: He was specially impressed by the name of ‘Academy Killer’.
Kim Hyo Jin: That was I who said the name of ‘Academy Killer’.
Jisuk bows to Kim Hyo Jin to thank her.
Kim Hyo Jin: It was I who gets Suh Ji Suk casted in a drama!
Kang Ho Dong: What is the key point to play a playboy?
Jisuk: Women like those men having pretty hands. Thus, I take good care of my hands.
Kang Ho Dong: Do women like a man having long and thin fingers?
Women guests: Yes!
Kang Ho Dong: Don’t women like short and fat fingers?
Eun Hyuk: Those women who like to eat pig feet will like Kang Ho Dong’s fingers!
Lee Seung Gi (jokes with Kang Ho Dong): Your fingers are typical pig feet!
Kang Ho Dong: May we touch your hand?
The comedian woman Jung Joo Ri comes forward to touch Jisuk’s hand.
Jung Joo Ri: Wow! The feeling of this hand … so soft! soft!
Ahn Sun Young (talks to Jung Joo Ri): I am really envious of your role here! I am not allowed to do it. If I touch his hand, people would say that I am harassing him sexually. However, people would say that Jung Joo Ri is comical when she touches his hand!
Kang Ho Dong: How do you use fingers to play a playboy?
Jisuk: If I ask, “Do you like to have a meal now?” I will use my fingers to act this way. If I use my two fingers to show “2”, I will use my fingers to act like this.
Lee Seung Gi (talks to Kang Ho Dong): How about using your 2 fingers too?
Eun Hyuk (of the Super Junior): Kang Ho Dong’s way of using 2 fingers looks like - ‘Giving me 2 bowl of rice”!
Kang Ho Dong: Ajuma! Give me 2 bowls of rice!
3 members of the “Super Junior” music group bring a composite photo showing that Jisuk and the famous MC Yoo Jae Suk look alike.
Kang Ho Dong: Jisuk, you really resemble MC Yoo Jae Suk! We realize that both of you indeed look alike after we see the photo.
Jisuk: We look alike because we both have wrinkle lines around our eyes and I look alike him if I wear glasses.
Kang Ho Dong: Now I look at the picture closely. Jisuk also has a mouth similar to Yoo Jae Suk.
This week’s topic is “Give Up or Persist”. Here is Jisuk’s story – “A Man’s Tears”:
Jisuk: Three years ago, I performed in the drama “Pure 19” which was my last drama before I suddenly enlisted in the army. My popularity dropped a lot during the past 3 years. Since I was not an actor with outstanding acting skill, I didn’t have a comeback project 8 months after I completed my military service.
Kang Ho Dong: 8 months … after you completed the military service…?
Jisuk: I indeed was in a stagnant stage. However, many TV viewers noticed me after I attended the “Strong Heart” program. In the meantime, this drama project appeared. My colleagues might not know that I couldn’t even open my mouth on the first day of the filming because I have not performed in a drama in the past 3 years. Inside my body, I felt that I was trembling and my brain was totally empty. I only had to say one sentence, “Let’s go to eat together” to Jang Suh Hee, but I couldn’t even utter that sentence! I NGed more than 30 times. The filming was done by a heavy camera about 30kg circling around me. I heard the filming director and staffs all sighed after I NGed more than 30 times. Staffs and I myself were all in shock. I felt dark in front of my eyes making me not be able to do anything. After I went home, those tears I held in my eyes finally shed out. During the 2 years I was in the army, I had been dreaming of coming back to be an actor and I missed the word ‘Action!’ so much in those 2 years. However, I came home disappointedly after the first day of filming. I asked myself if I could actually complete this drama or not.
Two days later, I was filming a scene of eating lunch relaxingly. Go Joo Won probably didn’t notice that my hand was so trembling that I couldn’t even hold the chopsticks well. Before that, I was practicing using chopsticks at home. I couldn’t even use the chopsticks to get a piece of rice. Eating rice is so easy, but why I couldn’t get a piece of rice by using the chopsticks? Thus, I went to the park in front of my home and I cried out loud! Then I went home, I called my manager that I couldn’t affect the progress of the drama and I need probably one year to practice my acting skills. However, I recalled what the senior actor Lim Ha Ryung told me 8 years ago, “On the stage, either you laugh, cry, or take off your shoes, no one would scold you. You own the script dialogues and all you need to do is to freely perform your part. Freely and decisively to do whatever you want.” Then, I called my manager again.
The next day, I went to the filming again. That day, I filmed with Ms. Ahn Sun Young I met for the first time. She did really well because she greeted me with a smile, ‘Hi!’ That day, I felt so comfortable due to her word ‘Hi!’ All of my fears were melted by that word! Then, all of my old memory of filming my previous dramas came back to my brain again! My stiff body became vivid again! Thus, I’d like to say ‘Thank You!’ to Ms. Ahn Sun Young.
Guests say: Then you and Ahn Sun Young date!
Ahn Sun Young: Oh! I am sweating under my armpits!
Kang Ho Dong: What’s your feeling after that day?
Jisuk: I heard praise and had one thought, “I made ‘OB & GYN’ alive!"
His remarks make people laugh out loud! Jisuk’s story wins him the title of “Strong Heart” so far.
