Born in 1996 in Daegu, Yong-guk
with his tall height and cute looks went to Seoul to pursue his dream of being a model
Showing off his versatile charms
He grew as an all-round entertainer!
However, due to camera shyness, strong accent, and shyness.
He couldn’t shine among the other top models
This can't go any longer!
(Questioning) Why do you think you didn't blow up..?
(Sigh) I think it’s camera shyness
When camera starts rolling..
(Bitter)
I wonder why?...
You're so funny and entertaining when it's like this...
Actually, our Yong-guk..
He loves all kinds of alcohol and doesn’t care what others think of him
when he drinks and leads a very cheerful vibe
And you have no idea how funny his jokes are
It's such a shame that we're the only ones that know how he brightens up a room
So that’s why we started this
With Yong-guk's favorite alcohol, food
and people
A real tasteful variety show
Mr. Guk the Drinker
Is starting
On a perfect day in May for some drinking...
♡ First guest is here ♡
(Yong-guk’s 10 years besties) Choi Yeon-kyu/actor, Kang-hui/actor, painter
Your pimple...is nervous(?)
(Ridiculous)
Well... let's drink before we start
Let’s drink first because it’s awkward
(Nagging) Let have Yong-guk open every bottles
(Nagging22) Like for real… today is the most important day
(Pressure) The first episode of the show is crucial
(Protecting himself) You guys have to do well
Non-stop nagging before even the show started
Cheers!
Ready to talk
(Craving for some munchies) Sir can we...Ma'am
- Yes~ - We'll have the jjamppong and..
(Order List) We'll have the jjamppong, yangjangpi, and sweet and sour shrimp. Just that three please
Thank you very much
Yes, thank you~
A lovely voice that makes you feel great
You know this kind of vibe
I like this kind of thing
(30-Year-Old Restaurant) Apparently, it's 30 years old
(Grabbing something) I'll show you how serious I am
If you look here...
(List of good old established restaurants) I've made a whole list of it
(Zero interest) Oh.. really?
First appetizer appears
Wow, look at that sweet and sour shrimps
that's basically screaming for alcohol
(piercing stare)
Second appetizer appears
(Yangjangpi) This one can't go wrong
(So much) That's a huge serving
The owner appears with a stainless bowl?
(Pours the whole plate into the bowl)
(In goes the sauce)
(This is K-hand touch)
You said it's your first time trying it, right?
(Yangjangpi first-timer) I'm also seeing it for the first time in real life
(Telling on him) He’s trying Yangjangpi for the first time
Yeon-kyu's first try of Yangjangpi...!
(Wonder how it tastes..?) If it tastes alright, I might add more mustard
It's delicious, but I think it needs more (mustard)
(Okay) I can add more, right?
(Lots of mustard) I'll just pour it on top
Bon appetite
The strong taste of Yangjangpi that comes through later
You can’t swear!
They said they'll take care of the editing
Here it is..!
(Satisfied) This is it, this is it
(Enjoys pain)
Finally the youngest takes a bite
(Distressed)
Sharp and pungent flavor that clears the sinuses
Wow, it’s quite strong
Let me mix it a little bit
Maybe its cause I only ate the top?
Yeah its- you e-at top(?) Ah!
The amazing power of mustard sauce that makes actors look foolish
(Finally, soju appears)
(Excited) Just like the way we usually drink
Actually, it’s not the amount of soju that’s important
it's the amount of the beer
Did you guys starve or something?
What did you say?
Oishi? what o-
Please focus (sulky) Not even listening to what I'm saying
I said I didn’t eat..haha
Okay...please enjoy yourselves…
(Twirl twirl) (Yong-guk’s way of making soju bomb)
(Give it to me)
Do it for me as well(?)
Soju bomb tastes better with foam
(In that case, me too...) Hey, me too, me too..
When you get older(?)..
the fizziness builds up
No TMI please
Good, right?
Oh yeah
It's good
(Agreed)
Hey, I want
that honey bomb this time
Honey bomb? Ok
What is honey bomb?
Honey bomb is a mix of soju and beer in a 9:1 ratio, which tastes like honey
But when I first heard this
I thought it was just ridiculous
But when you actually drink it...
you can taste acacia honey in the drink
How can soju taste like honey?
(Enters man of principle) Let's try it ourselves and see if it's true
Let's take a bold shot at it
Oh, now I know what you mean
(Totally get it)
(Found his unfinished glass)
How can you leave some?
Let's talk about what's going on (they've been doing the opening for an hour..) So, what have you been up to lately?
Last last week,
I went to Tokyo because of an exhibition
In Japan,
I had a fan meeting again
Oh..~!
(Thanks for coming...♥) I invited such busy people
(Kanghui tried live painting a while ago) It was the first time I was offered to do live painting
I regretted it a lot even though I said I would do it
If I can overcome this
I felt like I could grow one step further
That's why,
You don't look so good
(No wonder why he looked so tried) I don't look good right now?
You have bags under your eye
You must be really tired these days
I came back to Korea the day before yesterday
I did the live painting yesterday
Then came here to do this
(Came to help in the middle of a busy schedule) I built it up to make it look impressive
(I already heard enough of this) He already told me twice before we started recording
(Just a vent) If you don't say it out loud, people don't notice
(Sudden outburst of frustration) I've been living thinking people would notice even if I don't speak up
(Do you understand, little one?) But if you don't speak out, people won't know
But, you
don't really
express
yourself
outside
(Kang-hui's feelings are hidden away) Yeah, I don’t
But when you're with me
(Kang-hui is always open to Yong-guk) you express yourself so well
Once, I..
coughed up blood
from drinking too much
Just thinking about it is terrifying
And at 4am
I called him
(For emergency call 'Yong-guk') He was calling Sin Yong-guk instead of an ambulance
(Cons : Won't come) Even though he doesn't come and get me
Just by the sound...
(Yong-guk's voice is the cure-all)
If it were me,
(INTP) I would be like "Call 911 not me"
It's because you're a total
TP
What... what is TP...?
Oh my god, man
Don't you even have an MBTI?
(Severely following his concept) I just asked even though I know hehe...
You know what, Yeon-kyu
(Yeon-kyu who appeared in Jeon So-mi's 'DUMB DUMB' MV) after Jeon So-mi's 'DUMB DUMB' came out,
(He's handsome...) It's been hard to catch up with you
And... your spending has increased a bit too
You see Yeon-kyu for me...
(Acting tone) is someone I should be treating well...
(So annoyed) Oh, he's acting again
No, no
I’m really speaking from the heart..
Stop acting
(Doesn’t give a damn) After... all that struggling
When it started to work out for him he was sharing that with people
(Shut up and drink)
But now
(You guys) definitely have gotten busier
(Disagreeing) No, no
Right now...
Our timing is when
We were busy but now it’s slowly slowing down
Oh, that's why
(fact attack) You're here during the day on a weekday
That's mean...
Oh lately, there's been a lot of
mixing soju...with water
(Disbelieve) Who mixes water in our holy soju
(Doesn’t care)
This is yours, Kang-hui♥
Yeon-kyu's ♥
(Is this real?) Do not chug it up
(Doubt22)
(Objecting) Who pours that much soju when mixing it with water?
(Rebuttal) It has a low percentage of ABV
Also this, with this leaf
An Eye Opener
(Brain dead) Let's try it out
(Try to make an excuse) It's not a drink that I enjoy
(Doubtful...)
(Watching how he reacts)
(Protecting the actor's rights)
Why are we drinking this?
(Unidentifiable taste) What is this?
Excuse me
Do you have menus that aren't on the menu?
(They did eat) There are a lot that aren't on the menu
Could we know what they are?
(The owner appears)
(Embarassed facing so close)
Oh, I need to tell you...
Spicy chicken stew
(Not on the menu) Ok, spicy chicken stew,
Duck
(Duck stew) Duck? There's duck stew?
Pollack stew
(Craving for Gumi) Oh pollack stew sounds good
(Decided on pollack stew)
(OK)
Thank you
Oh, ma'am!
Who's most attractive out of us?
(They are at an age where they still like this kind of thing) Is it okay if you could tell us?
If I wish one of you were my son...
Since my son is a little short,
(The most tallest one) The tallest guy...
I know what you mean, mom♥
Thank you
To our sons
I should bring you some rice cakes
All the ladies in the neighborhood came over
Thank you and congrats for coming all the way here(?)
(Got some long rice cakes) I can't remember the last time I had long rice cakes
(K-heart) This is love, not food
(10 years in Seoul) This is the first time I've ever received something like this in Seoul
(Trying to be cute)
(AWK-WARD)
Oh, but
this long rice cakes are delicious
Can't stop eating them...
Chew chew
(Discovered)
Stop eating the rice cakes lol
I mean.. why does it taste so good?
Let's soak our mouths that have become dry
(I love long rice cakes♥) The long rice cakes are good
As I get older..
(Stop it)
(Here comes pollack stew) This has to be delicious~
(A visual that calls for a bunch of soju)
Only taking his own portion!
(It just helps digest all that rice cakes)
I mean, it's really funny
(Full of egg) The eggs, look at the eggs
(Impressive size) This visual, you can't find even in a professional restaurant
(This place is the auntie-omakase you’ve only heard about) This is not even on the menu
It's amazing that they have this ingredient here
Maybe she just bought it?
Earlier the owner... Huh, hahaha
(Chew) (We're just joking ma'am♡)
(Let’s mix the next drink) Isn't that trending these days?
Mixing Yantai Kaoliang liquor and beer
We have Yantai Kaoliang liquor!
(Surprised)
Owner traits) has good ears We have Yantai Kaoliang liquor~
We'll have one~!
Why don't you kill us?!
Do you want the big one or the medium one~?
The small one..heh
The big ones are too much...haha
(small one)
I'll try this mix
(You can do whatever you want Yong-guk) Yeah let's try it
Wow the smell is intense, so pineappley
This is it...!
(It smells good) It smells really yummy
Oh with that apple...scent...
Why are you leaving out the pine in the front? lol
How is the taste..?
(Good~!) Oh, it's good~
(Chugging it down)
(Not bad)
By the way, the comments about Yeon-kyu are really funny
While his face... looks like a German nobleman
(Born and raised in Daegu) Germany? I’ve never even visited
People say your accent is charming, not funny
Doesn’t a name like ‘Gotze' suit him?
Mario Gotze?
(Confused Gotze)
(Nice friend who read all the comments♥) I was so jealous that I read all of the comments you get
But you don't click 'like'
You know...
You know..!
(Eyes out of focus) After hearing that, I can see him as a German
But why are you looking at me like a German?
I am?
I'm a bit tipsy
This cardigan is hot for today
Well it's not a Cardigan
It's Gardigan
.... No it's cardigan
There's different mixing style
for Yantai Kaoliang liquor and beer
I'll go with whisk(?)
-What did you say? -Whisk...
Whisk?
(Basically saying he likes whiskey)
What do you like?
(♥Team beer♥) I love beer
You must like beer because you're from Germany
(What's wrong with this guy) Something really went wrong
What do you want to drink bro?
I'll have a bottle of Kaoliang...
What?
Maybe you should stop...
(Break time) (Nature called)
Shall we drink?
(Worrying voice) Are you okay?
Oh, this is nothing
Oh but
(Seems unsatisfied...) we should make it more fun
We're not talking like we usually do
We can't see any of his (Yong-guk's) charm
(Worried and regret) There's nothing we usually talk about
Even jokes are delivered so nicely
but it's a bit artificial right now
(Yong-guk is here)
(Great ears) What was that you talked about me earlier?
Oh I was saying love you
(Now curious about the title) What's the title of this?
How about Guk Dragon?
I like that, Mr. Guk the drinker
But I think
(Being honest) I think it should be more like anti-mainstream
Dragon soup something like that
(Excited) Do you know what Dragon Soup is?
Yong(dragon in Korean) Guk(soup in Korean) obviously
Guk is soup
(What the heck) Oh he's being a know-it-all
Option 1) Yongyong will die
(Don't like it)
(No no) Oh that's kind of cute
Option 2) Guk-boy
(That's not bad) Guk-boy is not bad
(Timidly) I'll refute to that I like “Yongyong will die”
(Absolutely hate it)
(32 year old self) You don’t know the trend these days
What kind of soup? Is yong soup (?) a trend these days?
Oh, wow someone's a Generation Z...!
Even right now...
instead of saying Gen he calls it generation
(Puts his head down) That's where it even went wrong
(Average age here is 31 and they are debating about a word) Saying generation makes you an old man
- It's not generation but GenZ - Oh my nose is runny
Pass me some tissue
Please talk after you blow your nose...
(Kang-hui's used tissue)
(Wet..)
Damn it's the tissue he wiped his nose with
(It's a mess) And I was using it to wipe my hands
(Drunkard) The name of this drink is Do Re Mi(?)
Do Re Mi(?) drink..
Crazy bast***
(Dooooo)
(It's hilarious♡)
(Re)
(Mi)
For D..Dragon Soup's(?)
Success-♥
(What's wrong with him...) Ah, it's not confirmed
(Chaotic)
(Terrible) Should we do one more hour?
(So drunk)
Producers) Send him home already...
But this right now
is who we really are
But there must be people who want to see this kind of thing
Exactly!
Next time..
when our program!
does well, then there will be
(So much warmth♡) a day we can repay you guys...
Me, I want PlayStation 5
...What did you say?
(Super childish) PlayStation 5
(Bro are you a T…?)
(Let's finish it off warmly) Anyway, please give us a word of support
Dragon Ball(?) Fighting!
Obsessed with that damn dragon...
(Even he himself finds it funny)
Let's go home now
Mr. Guk the Drinker
Q. How was today?
Um.. It was really.. fun
First of all, as today was Yong-guk's
first recording, I was honored to be here
I wanted to give him supports
I'm not sure if I was able to do that, but
He will continuously develop so please show a lot of interests
I hope..
From what we talked about today
An idea for a title came out
(Q. How was today?) I would rate Yong-guk 3.5 today
He can do better
If we get him more drinks, he'll do better
I can't dare to evaluate the taste of the food
They can make things that are not on the menu here
First of all, that shrimp was so good
And that pollack stew...oh that's fire
Thank you to actors Kang-hui and Choi Yeon-kyu for appearing on the show ♥️
I bet you when you lie on your bed tonight, you're going to think of that dragon soup
Let's just go with Dragon Soup, I think that'll be nice
It's not Dragon Soup because of the name Yong-guk
People are going to be like what's Dragon Soup and than they realize it's your name
Then people will never forget your name
Police.. please call the police
But look, since it's soup, it's also related to food
Yong-guk's Seoul Sightseeing
Cheers
I'm going to be cheering for you guys
And hope you guys do the same for me
For our future, cheers!
