Oh, that house has lights on!!
(A single ray of light lighting up the dark alley) (This is it!) I have a good feeling about this one
(This house is the one) Let's go inside and ask for some warm meal
(There's someone watching from the windows) We'll let the older members have the sweet potatoes
(There's someone watching from the windows) I have a good feeling about this house
Oh, there's someone standing right there
Ma'am!
Hello there, ma'am
What is this?
(Explaining the situation first) We're filming with JTBC
I thought it was that show, [Let's Eat Dinner Together]
(That's exactly right, we are) We are from [Let's Eat Dinner Together]
- Oh, you are? - Yes, we are
Do you watch the show?
(Split reactions to the homeowner's response) Yes
Does that mean I need to serve you all to some dinner?
(Oh my...)
Aren't you done with your meal, though?
(She hasn't eaten dinner yet) I haven't had it yet
Were you about to eat, then?
I'm alone in here, though
That's fine!
This is all a little too sudden...
Ma'am, will you let us join your dinner,
here at Gogi-dong, Yongin-si?
I don't have much to offer...
But yes, I guess
(Team Shin Ho-dong has successfully earned a meal)
(Wow...)
(Team Shin Ho-dong has successfully earned their first meal of the new year)
(Hmph)
Today's our first day filming this year
(The first homeowner of the year to invite us to her house)
This is so nice
(Treasuring the sweet potatoes now that Team Shin Ho-dong has succeeded) I see now why they gave us these sweet potatoes
Alright, let's send off the other members now
Come on in through the doors in the back
- This isn't the front gate? - Oh, this is the back door
That's why I didn't see a doorbell here
- Yeah, I was looking for it too - It's around the back
- Should we go around the back? - Yes
(Time to part ways now) We'll see you next week, then
(At least one team has succeeded) I'm glad it worked out for you guys
I'll see you later then
(Offering a last resort) If nothing else works out, just eat the sweet potatoes we gave you
- (Hmph) - There aren't any convenience stores around here
We should hurry and find another house that'll invite us
(This is the right gate to earn the meal!) It reads Gogi-dong, Suji-gu here
(This is, you are, and I am) Gogi-dong, Shindong, Kang Ho-dong!
(Nice rhyme!) See, we all have something in common
- ♬ Dong-dong-dong! - ♬ Dong! Dong!
(Now time for Ho-dong and Shindong to ding-dong) The doorbell's right here
- (Come on in!) - There we go
(Ho-dong & Shindong enters the house at 6:32 P.M.) She opened it for us without hesitation
Entering through the front gate...
Wow, look at these pine trees!
This neighborhood seems to really like trees
Yeah, it's guarding the front doors
Upon climbing the stairs,
the broad garden stretches out and greets us with its vastness
(Excited) Hold on, wait, take a look at the moon
Do you see the moon from here?
(The crescent moon dimly illuminates over the garden)
Wow, this house is so neat
(And the night lights sparkle distantly in the vast black canvas) Those night lights look so beautiful
Look at the living room!
(Astonished)
(Spacious) (Homeowner Lee Young-shin)
Ma'am!
(Why aren't you coming inside?)
We'll be right there after we look around the garden!
From the back, I actually thought this house
was relatively smaller compared to the other ones
(Da dun)
It looks even nicer with all the lights on
(A 2-story house straight out of a fairytale that Shindong dreamt of) I always wished I could live in a 2-story house when I was younger
(Something has caught the tree lover's eyes!) I know quite a bit about trees,
and this is an aged azalea tree right here
(The azalea trees will bloom to a beautiful natural fence in the spring) It blooms its flowers in May, and it's absolutely beautiful
(The azalea trees will bloom to a beautiful natural fence in the spring) It's hard to find such trees out in the city
(He's always talking about food) Grilling some pork belly out here would be so neat
(Ditto) An outdoor barbecue!
A barbecue party out here in the garden
You know in movies, they have those...
Long tables, yeah
And there's always someone who does all the grilling and serves it to the table
And while eating, if someone calls out from the patio up there,
I'd reply with a "hey, james!" Hahaha
(Cheers!) Yeah, and I'd raise my glass, too
Wifi cheers! *Used when two people are too far away to clink glasses physically
(C'mon, Ho-dong...) Who does "wifi cheers" with foreigners?
I'll do bluetooth cheers, then
(Awkward)
(Still embarrassed) We're coming in now, ma'am!
Excuse us
Upon entering the warmly-lit home past the garden with breathing nature,
beautiful paintings
and calligraphies can be spotted
(Let's dive into the scent of art in every corner of the house) We've entered the dinner of a home in Gogi-dong, thriving with art
- Could we look around the house a little bit? - Yes, go ahead
Ma'am, this calligraphy, is it...?
My husband wrote it
(Astounded) Really?
(Fluently written) Wow, it's very impressive
My husband's a calligrapher
- Your husband is? - Yes
- (Astonished) Wow! - This is so impressive
(Very much impressed...)
(But unable to read it) But I don't know what it reads... Heh
(Still admiring the work) Wow, this is incredible
(Can you read it?) What does it say?
It reads...
Oh yeah?
(Murmuring) It reads...
(What's wrong with him?)
(Sneaking away)
(Still embarrassed) Ma'am, could we take a look upstairs, too?
Yes, sure
(Following up the stairs to the second floor,)
(some odd shaped rocks catch the eyes of Team Shin Ho-dong) What is this?
Is this a plant?
(It's always about food for him) Is it edible?
Are these growing on the rock?
(What's the white substance...?) What's that? Salt?
(Past the puzzling yet seemingly valuable rocks,) I don't know, but it looks valuable
(the two come across something else on the second floor) What's out there?
Oh, this is what we saw from downstairs
Past the sliding doors is another beauty awaiting them
The nightscape of Gogi-dong that nature has to offer
(Admiring the view)
(The night lights sparkle in the distance as if welcoming the guests)
I feel so at ease, just by looking at it
This is just so neat
What do you think that is?
That light you see right there
- Is it a plane? - No, wait, but what are those lights in the middle of the mountain?
(Team San Ho-dong enjoys the sentiment of the nightscape) That one floating in the sky, is it moving?
There's something else moving down there, too
This is so nice
(Heading back inside after enjoying the nightscape) Yes, this is fantastic
(Rice cooker steaming)
(The homeowner prepares for dinner as if treating for her own children)
She brings out an entire set of nostalgic homemade kimchi,
along with some stir-fried anchovies as side dishes
A seemingly plain but in fact a very special meal is being prepared
Oh, wow
- These are homemade kimchi, aren't they? - Yes
(Ho-dong tries to scoop out the rice) I'll do it
(Ho-dong tries to scoop out the rice) It's fine, Ho-dong can do it, see?
(Oh goodness) That's a soup bowl! *Soup bowls are typically larger than rice bowls
Ho-dong likes eating rice in soup bowls
Hahahaha
(Good times) My mom used to scoop rice into soup bowls for me, too
The homeowner continues to prepare for dinner by serving some piping hot soup
Wow, smell this!
(Sniff sniff)
You've been craving oysters all day, and now you've got yourself some!
Nice!
(Oyster soup with juicy oysters and radish is served!) Are oysters in season?
Yeah, they're in season right now
(Can't forget to take a video before the meal!) Thank you for the meal, here at this house
straight out of a fairytale in Gogi-dong!
(Stir-fried anchovies, pickled angelica shoots, radish water kimchi, and whole radish kimchi) This first meal of the year
(Pickled chili peppers, napa cabbage kimchi, pickled perilla leaves, rice, and oyster soup with radish) is made of Koreans' most loved side dishes,
but with the love and affection of the homeowner in Gogi-dong
Go ahead and eat, you all must be hungry
Thank you for the meal
- Thank you - Ma'am, is every single one of these side dishes
- handmade by you? - Yes, of course
This kimchi, you made yourself, too?
Yes, I grew the radishes myself in my own garden
(She made the kimchi herself with the radish she grew in her garden farm) You even have your own garden farm?
(She made the kimchi herself with the radish she grew in her garden farm) We were talking about garden farms earlier
I harvested the radish to make the radish water kimchi, too
Did you harvest the perilla leaves, too?
(Even the pickled perilla leaves!) Yes, of course, from the garden farm
Did you catch the anchovies yourself, too, then?
No, not the anchovies haha
How would I catch those?
(Hey, I'm from Namhae-gun!)
- What are these? Korean lettuce? - No
No, those are angelica shoots *Pronounced "dureup"
♬ Dureup dureup du! Dureup dureup du! *A song from his generation
Ho-dong... That's so outdated!
People nowadays would go, "ddu-du ddu-du du"! *Blackpink's "DDU-DU DDU-DU"
(Kang Ho-dong (Age 50) / An outdated man)
I tell you, ma'am
I can say with certainty that
the two people in Korea who have tasted the most variety of kimchi
(Homemade kimchi tasters) are Lee Kyung-kyu and Kang Ho-dong
- (I agree!) - You're right
Every time we try a new kimchi,
each one tastes different depending on who made it
They're all good, but in different ways, right?
It's really interesting
(Another interesting point) Ma'am, do you normally add oysters to radish soup?
They're more savory that way
(Homemade kimchi taster Ho-dong's first time seeing oyster soup with radish) I've never tried it like this
It already smells delicious though
(How will it taste?) Ma'am, when did you cook the soup?
This morning
(Slurp)
Mmm
(Whisper) Ma'am, this soup is out of this world
It is
The radish... It's sweet, I swear
It really is very sweet
(Slurp)
(Crunch)
(An ASMR is worth a million words)
(Crunch)
(The meal ASMR reaching its climax)
(In absolute harmony)
(Glad they're both enjoying the meal)
While Team Shin Ho-dong is feasting on the motherly love of the homeowner through their meal...
