The sound of a [Miracle]!
Okay, everyone! Before I ask you the question,
I've prepared an acrostic poem with [Miracle] (in syllables)!
That will be hard!
'Mir'!
Miraculously, we enrolled to Knowing Bros School to share about all our lives
with 'Guess About Me'....
- That's too long for an acrostic poem! - 'Guess About Me'...
To share about our lives with 'Guess About Me'!
'Acle'!
A clever response will be appreciated!
(Suddenly sharing an acrostic poem) [Miarcle] is in the theatres now!
(The next syllable, 'acle')
There's nothing better than that!
The train for 10 million audiences for [Miracle] is departing now! Bbu bbu!
(Feeling proud)
Let's get going!
That was the best!
Park Jung-min's 'Guess About Me' train is departing now!
Okay, I'll ask you the question
Q. What was the special reason I decided to appear in the movie [Miracle]?
- Because SNSD Yoona is appearing on it - Isn't it because of Yoona?
Wrong!
Did Taeyeon say she will sing a song for the soundtrack?
No haha
(A hint) I heard something that made me decide!
I know!
'Movies with Park Jung-min are guaranteed to do well'
'So we'll guarantee to pay you for how well the movie does'
No
Rather than paying the guarantee, what about this approach?
- Although I don't like it! - Oh, Kang Ho-dong's 'this approach'
Kang Ho-dong's mini-series, 'What about this approach?'
So the jargon for this is the indirect approach
Indirect, okay
(Kang Ho-dong's approach) He saw the script, and the script
was too emotional so he couldn't accept it
But the production staff didn't give up and they came to him
- Oh, as if they're patiently trying to win him - Therefore
the staff proposes this
'We'll give you the best treatment in the industry!'
And brings out a blank check
In that moment!
(Did Jung-min fall for that?) He decided to appear on this movie!
- Isn't that similar to what I said? - At the end of the day, it was money?
'You decided to appear in the movie after receiving a blank check!'
- Wrong! - Arghhh!
(Met with a mishap)
(Acting cute) What's that haha
What's that haha
(There was an error in his approach)
That's so funny!
I'll give you another hint!
The director has a very interesting background
I'll also approach this differently
Seo Jang-hoon's 'What about this approach?'
How will Jang-hoon approach this?
(Jang-hoon's kind of approach) Your acting skills have been acknowledged
so you invested in a production company without anyone knowing
But! That production company was contracted to make this movie!
(Failed)
- Don't you own like 30% of it? - I don't!
The storyline of the movie is about making a temporary station!
It turned out to be true, and you bought some land there!
This isn't about the movie! It's about real life!
Wrong!
The one who will be overjoyed & surprised the most after hearing this
is Hee-chul
Do I know the director?
- The director used to be a pro gamer! - Ohhhh!
- Ohhhh! - But Jung-min!
Also likes gaming! Therefore he said!
(The director appealed with gaming?) 'Jung-min, I'll play games with you daily'
Did he approach you like that?
You did really well!
- You did well, but that's not the answer - I did well, right?
- I always have the right approach! - But how did you know?
- Jang-hoon is really good at this! - No, I don't really know about games
But you were playing a game at home!
And you met the director online in the game!
- Apparently people fight online in games - Yes, while playing games
(Jung-min : Who in the world are you?) (Miracle director : I'm a movie director!)
'Well I'm an actor, bye' and then you said 'I'm Park Jung-min'
(They happened to meet by fighting?) 'Huh? Jung-min? I'm Director Lee!'
No, that's wrong
Jung-hoon's approach was the closest one
What about this kind of an approach?
- (Touched) - Is it a catchphrase? LOL
(Lee Soo-geun's short approach) The director realized he likes gaming
It turns out, the director is good at Crazyracing KartRider
Jung-min heard a honk outside, so he went out
The director had balloons at the back of his car...
(Approached Jung-min with a cart) And he was waiting for Jung-min
(Finishing with banana peel decorations) He had a banana peel at the back too
(Moved by how passionate the director is) You realized you could trust this director
- What about that kind of an approach? - That was great
You approached well with the gaming part!
But you all only talked about computer games!
- This game is a generation before that! - I know!
'What about this approach?' with a classic game!
The [Ponpoko game]!
The [Ponpoko game] is such an old game haha
You went to play it because the director called for you in the morning
But the field was full of thumbtacks!
You had to jump like this lol
- Wrong - Is it not this game?
As I mentioned, this game came before computer games were available
- It's an arcade game! - What about this approach?
- Before arcade games... - Wait, please do it in the right tone
What about this approach?
Oh, that's not what I intended LOL
It's even different to how you said it earlier!
(He came up with it, but he is confused) It's different to what he said himself!
- He's already changed his own version - (Sorry)
What about this approach?
- An indirect approach! - There are various games
You played the good old 'Dare or dare' game
Number 1 and 3 had to kiss
(Lee Soo-geun's short approach) You had no choice but to kiss the director
In this miraculous relationship, you decided to appear in the movie
Oh, with 'Dare or dare' game?
What about the approach where I get hit?
Arghh!
Arghhhhh!
(Endless medley of shrieks)
I didn't play the game with the director!
- Yoona must know! - Yes, I know
- I also love this game, so I was surprised! - I know!
The director is the one who made the game you like!
- Yes! You're almost there - Oh, what's the game?
(They have to guess the game correctly!) Oh, I know!
The rhythm game of Korea, [EZ2DJ]
- No! But you're almost there! - It's not [EZ2DJ]?
(Very close!) It was when that game was popular!
[Pump It Up]?
Correct!
♬ Stop joking around!
Oh, really?
- The director made [Pump It Up]? - Our director made [Pump It Up]
(Fascinated) Isn't that surprising?
When I first received the scenario for the movie!
The scenario was entertaining, but it was pressuring to act for an 17-year-old role
- So I went to the director to turn it down - Oh, since the role felt too young
I thought I'd have to meet him and tell him myself
So I went to see him
The director told me about how he lived his life
(Director Lee Jang-hoon) He studied Computer Science at SNU
(For alternative service military duty) He went to a game company
and he said he made [Pump It Up]
Is that for real?
He must've made lots of money!
But it was during his military service, so he didn't make any money
- The company must've made the money - Yes, the company made the money
The company felt grateful to him, so they wanted to give him a gift
- He said he wants to be a movie director - The director has some character
- So they sent him to study in America - The company paid for it?
- The company was quite loyal! - That's how he became a movie director
(From the development of [Pump It Up]) He fulfilled his dream
As I was listening to how his dream came true,
I felt so moved, so I decided to appear in the movie
(Director Lee has an interesting history) That game was very popular!
He's very talented!
Can he put on screen protectors on phones too?
I've got a request for him!
(Yoona is being tormented forever with this)
Guys, I'll try to make up for it next time!
Jung-min, did you play on [Pump It Up]?
I played on [Pump It Up] a lot in middle school!
(It was popular with [DDR] back then!) We started from [DDR]
We played on it heaps!
When someone good in town plays on it, everyone comes to watch that person
- Exactly - They dance on it
(Masters play on both sides) They turn on both sides
This is the person who would use both sides
There are some people who just walk out!
(Walking out by stepping into nothing)
(Walking out by stepping into nothing) That's how you walk out
Good bye, everyone!
- Yes, some people looked so cool on it - When this game was popular,
(Director Lee formed the trend back then) Director Lee opened up competitions
- Wow, he even did that? - He's a great person!
I like the band called Muse
I went to Rome to watch their concert
(He even went overseas for the concert) I went there, but there were no tickets
so I bought the most expensive ticket
They took about 40-50 people who bought the most expensive tickets
(Privileged to use the lounge) into a lounge area
There was a gaming machine made with Muse's world views
There was a shooting game!
But people were really bad at it!
- I thought 'I will have to show them!' - For the shooting game?
I staked the pride of my country on it!
- Oh, you staked the pride of your country? - Yes, I really wanted to win it
(Will win this with the skills of a reserve!) I put on the VR thinking 'I'll win this!'
(He put on the equipment & shot away) And I started the shooting game
I came first by a landslide
(This is the K-gaming skills) Koreans are good at games!
I came first in that game
- There was a benefit for coming first - When you come first!
They gave a coupon for Muse merchandise worth about 400,000-500,000won
(He gained the amount of the ticket) So I earned the amount of the ticket
That's great!
I staked the pride of a youthful Korean boy on it! They were shocked
(Jung-min & the director both like games) The two felt connected with games!
Also in [Keys to the Heart]!
(Jung-min played the piano himself) You played the piano yourself, right?
I didn't play it!
Oh, it looked like you were playing it!
(Anyone would think it was real) They showed your hands and face...
I didn't use a substitute
but I couldn't play that!
I also was dying to talk about when that movie was released because
(Jung-min played the piano himself) it sounded like I played the piano myself
- Didn't you play it.... - It's just that didn't use a substitute, so...
I memorized the fingering, but it's impossible to play like that in 6 months
- You memorized all the fingering? - I just memorized all the fingering
But there were lots of people who misunderstood like Hee-chul!
People would ask me on the streets!
"How are you so good at playing the piano?"
Then since they're just people walking by on the street,
- I couldn't sit them down and explain! - True lol
(It's embarrassing to explain about it) I couldn't say "No, that's not what happened"
- "I just memorized the fingering" - Right, I couldn't say that
So I felt very guilty
So thank you, for giving me a chance to explain myself now
But you didn't use a substitute
(That's still amazing acting skills!) You still played it yourself
Wow, it's amazing that you memorized the fingering!
My level was only up to there!
- But isn't it lip-sync for raps? - Didn't you really rap yourself?
I did rap myself!
(Jung-min actually rapped for the movie [Sunset in My Hometown])
♬ When I got mic, all producers get on their knees
- ♬ That’s right season 2 to the 5 now 6 - Oh wow!
(Tightly shutting his eyes) ♬ There's no peace in me, no peace
♬ I'm a rap samurai from now on
- (Feeling shy) - ♬ All the contestants here, you're all dead
♬ Don't stop me, just droop down your tail
♬ If you do what I say, I'll let you be my homie
You had punchlines there too!
Wow!
He has some musical talent!
I had to write all the lyrics for the movie!
It was a story about the role I was acting for, so no one could write it for me
(He wrote down about his role himself) That was the fun part of that movie
- You wrote the lyrics yourself? - Yes
That's amazing!
(He's very talented) He even wrote a book
He must've been born with it!
Pick up! Yo! Stage!
(This is the sound Lee Sang-min makes because he has been so moved) Yaman!
You like that? I like that!
Thank you!
