[Keyword Interview]
Taegyun oppa, you're literally
Legend in(?) comedian!
Not a 'legend in'
- 'Legendary' comedian! - Legendary comedian!
For you, we've prepared
- A special encyclopedia! - Encyclopedia?
Bring it in!
*tiktok tiktok* (Somewhat familiar voice and silhouette is approaching...)
What's that.. lol
*Tada* [Kim Taegyun-pedia]
Hello! *Open💙*
(Happy to see ya) Here comes my bro Jungshik!
Basically, in this entertainment business,
We make an encyclopeida only for those who are respectable
Only those who have been for 25 years or more in this industry
*Touched* How sweet! Thank you!
For the legendary comedian, Kim Taegyun
Let's learn about Kim Taegyun!
Wow, that's nicely done! So cute!♥
[First Keyword]
*Babaam*
[Gaegasoo/Comedinger]
'Gae'gasoo? (*means 'dog' in Korean)
(Nah that's not what it is)
What is 'Gaegasoo'?
Someone who had debuted as a comedian(Gag)
And became a singer(Gasoo)
He's one of the top 'Gaegasoo' in Korea!
*Ohhho*
To be clear, I've dropped 11 albums!
In terms of songs, about 100 songs!
(Hmmmm)
Do you just drop the albums? Or do you think before dropping one?
*dizzy*
(embarrassed) Nah, mean is...!
I don't drop one without thinking for sure!
I mean, hear me out...
Some artists are forced to drop albums... I mean in some cases... that happens...
No, I invested by myself(?)
Aren't you in an agency?
One man company!
(Gotcha)
I'm the CEO, I'm the artist!
Wowww, that's amazing!
Actually, I dropped several ones in order to make a hit song
Because I've always had to sing someone else's song in my concert
(Understood)
My dream is to sing my own hit song in my concert and wow the audience
That's why I've kept dropping songs
But that didn't happened yet... ;/
That's not true though!
Have you heard of the song?
♪ Don't be so sad ♪
Yeah, it rings a bell!
[♬ Don't Be So Sad - Cultwo]
Where have I heard of it?
In home shopping channels,
BGM to sell mackerels(?)
(What a mouth-watering hit song of Cultwo)
By the way, your voice is very powerful!
I know. My head is big for a reason
I use my head voice
People say I have a huge head
No you don't!
Very small!!! (*small head is considered to be a compliment in Korea)
They say that strong no is a strong yes...
And despite your head is big,
Your brain is...(?)
Ma brain is sexy♥
*LOLOL*
And for man...
It gotta be BIGGG♥
*ESKIUSME?*
You need to say WHAT exactly needs to be big...
(Omitting a subject can cause a disaster)
You shouldn't just say 'IT GOTTA BE BIG'
I mean head... lol
Yeah! It gotta be big for man!
(As big as mine★)
Let's talk about you as a comedian! (5th generation comedian in MBC)
Q. What did you do at the comedian audition?
I imitated Mr. Choi Jubong (Another legenary comedian)
Oh, he was sensational back in those days
Have you heard of Mr. Choi Jubong?
Yep (?)
(Jessi knows Mr. Choi Jubong?)
You sure you know him?
Let's just let it slide for now..
But if someone who doesn't know him laughs, it means it's legit!
*full of worries*
You know I don't fake laughing, don't you?
- You know what weather forecast is? - The weather man!
The weather man, but in Choi Jubong style
[Grand release]
Let's move on to the weather forecast for tomorrow!
Hallooow?!
Lemmeh tell ya today's weadah!
(Instantly cracking up)
*Masterpiece knows no age* - Come onnnn! That's hilarious!
It's ganah be hot tomoroowww!
And the day after tomorowww!
Take a look at the clouds on the screen!
Cute! Huh?
*LMAOOO*
(So) (funny)
(What a masterpiece that's perfect til the end★)
Hey, oppa! Your face is so funny!
(Face completes the voice imitation)
- So, that's how... - Yeah, I passed the audition!
About 30 years ago?
Yeah, in 1994! About 28 years
But it's quite similar to how I speak!
- It sounds like a granny - Yes, it it!
I have a lil granny vibe in the way I speak
Try "Hallooow"
HallOoOow!
*Darn so good lol*
Today's weadah will be!
- Look at dah clouds, cute! Huh? - Cute, huh?!
(What an imitation duo lol)
Shall we move on to the second keyword?
[DJ]
(Of course)
We can't talk about it(?)
*OOF* We can't NOT talk about it!
Yeah! Let's NOT talk about it lol
(Even Jungshik may stumble on his feet)
Anyways, let's talk about you being a 'DJ'
DJ stands for Disk Jockey!
But I'm asked what it is, I would say it in Korean words,
It's short for 'DaeJoong' (*the public)
(Heart-warming BGM) The one who approaches to the public!
Sorry but we don't welcome this kind of heart-warming vibe tho..
*Awky* Ow, ma bad!
Please edit it out!
No, they won't!
Very nice! But the timing lol
(The age of 49... in the prime of being sentimental)
OK! So, when did you start Cultwo Show?
May 1st in 2006!
It's been almost 16 years
W😲W
That's huge! I'm in the class of 2006 class
(For real?)
So I started it when you're 20!
Back then, the MP3 files of Cultwo Show
They were literally everywhere on the internet!
I went on a trip by myself after the breakup with my first girlfriend
I downloaded THIS MANY of MP3 files of Cultwo Show into my MP3 player!
I cried a lot while listening to it,
And laughed as well
For a whole week!
Cultwo Show means A LOOOT to me!
I listened to it whenever I went on a trip or on a flight
What I remember about Cultwo Show is,
I came out as a guest there when I was younger in 2005
- Jessi H.O. / - When I was H.O.
And he believed in me
Well, seriously
She was a pure little girl
Who is so pure and sings so well
I thought 'She will definitely make it!'
I remember how I rooted for her from the bottom of my heart
I sang 'Take A Bow'
(throwback) By Rihanna
Right, right!
(Bringing back her memory by singing the song)
Oppa, you prob don't remember the song
NO I DON'T
(Sorry.. but it's way too long ago...)
But I surely remember that you sang a pop song
Because back then, singers had to sing one of pop song and one of their new songs
Speaking of DJ,
When it comes to DJ, we can't not talk about your voice imitation!
Let me do the female voice imitation from a child to an old woman
(That's legit!)
[Kim Taeri (7) / Mokdong Kindergarten] "Hello, subscribers! I'm 7 years old"
Very similar!
[Kim Taeyoung (25) / ] "Hello, subscribers! I'm 25 and I'd like to be an announcer"
A bit mature!
30!
(transformed) "Hello, subscribers to Showterview!"
[Kim Taesoon (30) / Bride-to-be] "I'm Kim Taesoon, and I'm going to get married soon"
It gives off her stress from work
*Holy Guacamole*
And now, 50!
"Hello :)"
*pfft*
What happened to her for the last 20 years?
[Kim Taesook (50) / regular viewer of Show!terview] "I've been enjoying watching Showterview! It's so fun!"
Wait, it feels like my mom!
(Fluently) Jessi, how have you been doing? Any problem?
I was almost dying to see you! Jessi!
And add a curse to it
Yo little biOtch!♥
I missed you so bad, biOtch!
Can you do 70?
*friendly voice*
[Kim Taeja (70) / Jessi's grandma] "Howdy, y'allll?"
*Holy cow*
I'm Jessi's grandma! (watchu think?)
Very similar!
I missed you sooo bad!
Ma cute little grand daughter..♥
I personally have a question
Q. What's the key to keeping your position as a DJ for the last 16 years?
Most of all, I really love radio
And I dreamed of becoming a radio DJ when I was little
- (Aha) - Oh, really?
In a way, I made my dreams come true
But I found myself getting sick and tired of doing it sometimes after achieving my goal
Which seemed self-contradictory for me
But due to the COVID-19 outbreak,
I came to know one thing for sure
'There are some people out there who get comforted by the radio show'
'I shouldn't let my emotion affect the way I do it on the show'
So I got to take this responsibility
I try to do my best every single day and one thing leads to another, 16 years has passed
One of my listeners was in a taxi going a river to kill himself
And he happened to listen to Cultwo Show in the taxi
And he found himself laughing out loud with the taxi driver
"Oh, wait! I'm laughing!"
That motivated him to stay alive and keep on living
He sent his story to us
How come I stop doing it when those things happen?
This is just the moment you should bring up 'DaeJoong' (*the public)
Exactly! This is how DJ approaches to the public!
By the way, how Jessi introduces sponsors!
(I knowww)
The meme is still on the rage!
The one by Park Joonhyung and the one by Jessi!
SangYOK Motor (*meaning 'curse' in Korean)
(On Nov 16th last year, in a peaceful Cultwo Show...)
SangYOK Motor! (*Cursing Motor)
SANGYOK MOTOR (*Cursing Motor)
"Hey! You'd better drive freaking properly!" That's what SangYOK Motor is!
What was it supposed to be?
Sang'YONG' Motor
Tomayto, tomahto!
How come it's that's that?
(shameless) SangYONG!
(Embarrassed by how shameless she is)
So, we've prepared this! Introducing sponsors and products!
Wait! It's a real script?
We got it from Cultwo Show today!
- These are the sponsors list! - Should I read them?
Let's take turns and read it
Yeah, that's how they normally do in Cultwo Show!
How much time do you usually use for it?
Normally, less than 1 minute!
About 30-40 seconds
OK! Read them out within 30 seconds
It's live!

Let's move on to the thrid keyword!
The thrid keyword!
[Writer]
Writer...?
Followed by Gaegasoo and DJ,
Writer Kim Taegyun?
That's why he's here today!
♪ That's why I'm hereee ♪
*LOLOL*
*Right up mah alley*
So you here to promote this as a writer?
Yeah... I came to promote it...
(LOL)
You're the first guest who came here to promote a book!
*LOLOL*
Normally, for albums?
Albums or new movies/dramas coming out...
- But a book.. - But a book..
That sounds like a big deal! An author is coming out!
Frankly speaking, of those who watching this video,
I don't know how many of them can read it lol
Oh, cuz you have many international fans?
Cuz we have a lot of international fans!
But this book is an essay!
I'll have it published a translated book!
Oh, into English?
You have a plan?
Let me beg the publisher
Trying can't hurt ;)
Q. What's the title of the book?
It's called,
'I just want to take a rest'
Like putting things down?
Oh, my bad. 'I just want to enjoy life'
*OOPS* What did I say?
*awky*
- So the book title is...? - What is he talking about?
You just mistook the title of the book?
(wat da lol)
The very first essay book by Kim Taegyun! 'I just want to enjoy life'
Q. What kind of book is it?
It's an essay including many stories of my life
Like I said earlier, how I've been living so far,
From the old days where I dreamed of being a radio DJ
And those tough days with so many ups and downs
In my 20s and 30s, I hated it when people advised me
I was so stubborn
I was always under stress of pulling things off perfectly
- That's how I am right now! - I was like that!
My life was full of pretending, like prending to be fine
(in tears) Hey, that's so...
I'm gonna buy the book!
*Notice on buying a book suddenly lol*
(Thanks Jessi♥)
Before the shooting, when I talked to Jessi
What Jessi kept saying is that
Pretending not to get hurt
Pretending to know everything
It took a huge toll on my body and discomfort myself
I missed out all the happniess around me
But my mom passed away 7 years ago
My mom had sacrificed herself to take care of the four children
And she's about to enjoy her own life
But she passed away from a disease suddenly
'Life is vanity'
Thinking of how my mom passed away devoting herself only to taking care of others not herself
It occurred to me, "I should take care of myself more"
"And try to learn about myself"
"I gotta do what I want to do"
- Getting relaxed - Yes, loosening myself up
So I decied to enjoy life!
As I tried to enjoy my work, I started to feel comfortable about what I do
I felt like I'm getting happier!
As I started to be laid back, I came to see those little things that bring happiness
Like the vision changes
So basically, this is what the book is about
This is kind of a present for myself in 50s
This is just for Jessi!
Because she's kept saying it
I relate to everything you're talking about
Since I'm in my 30s
I went through tough times since young
Now I started to feel sick and tired of prentending
I don't know how to satisfy people
What you said is true. The point is to find happiness in these little things
Please give a piece of advice!
Actually, Jessi always gives her advice to other guests such as idols or hubae singers on Show!terview
In Show!terview, she always has to listen to others as an older sis like unnie and nuna..
She's physically and emotionally exhausted now
So can you say a word for her?
In my essay,
There's a letter from Taegyun in his 50s to Taegyun in his 20s
'You don't need to struggle too much to look nice to others
People keep changing anyways
True!
You can get betrayed or you can hurt somebody without noticing it
Don't dwell on what others think too much
The ones truly on your side will always be there no matter what you do
Stop struggling too much to look nice to others
Try to look nice to yourself
I've never seen her turning her back to me
But today, she entirely turned her back!
(The third wheel)
*cuz it's a heartwarming moment*
(thx♥)
Anyway, I personally relate to this book so much
And I really like today's interview with him
(Glad to hear that)
That's what I needed to hear from sunbaes
He's very bubbly!
*Bubbly to a fault*
(Ain't stop entertaining people til the end...★)
Oppa, you play with your child a lot?
Of course!
I knew it!
When I son was 5,
Since my dad passed away when I was 6
So I wanted to be a good daddy for my son
So I try so hard to play with my son
Suddenly, he stared at me and said a word
"U having fun?"
*LMAOOO*
You must've looked so happy lol
*Innocent* 'Are you having fun, pa?'
DAT SO CUTE♥
How old is he now?
He's 16 now
Wow!
He's grown up!
He knows everything, right?
Yeah, he knows pretty much everything
Maybe more than me!
(Check out the book to find more of his fun stories♥)
[Extreme Question Interview]
It's fun!
Nice talk!👍
It's already time for Extreme Question Interview?
This segment is,
You know what it is?
*duh* I guess it's questions that are extreme
(hit the nail on the head)
Ok, choose one of two things
[Radio DJ] VS [Variety show MC]
[Radio DJ]
(no wonder)
He's been doing DJ for ages!
How could he betray it, duh?
Why did you ask me then?
[Hilarious but freaking ugly] VS [No fun but freaking handsome]
*hold on..*
[Hilarious but freaking ugly]
NOOO WAYYYY!
RIGHT!
Wow, this show is intimidating
*shivers*
So many ups and downs like a rollercoaster
Same question to Jessi!
[Hilarious but freaking ugly] VS [No fun but freaking handsome]
[Hilarious but freaking ugly]
*fo sho*
Funny things are all the rage these days!
Oppa, I think you are so perfect
- Thank you! - You are attractive the way you are
If you do DJ in this voice,
- With good-looking face... - That won't match
That's a mismatch!
*Cracked up*
Hey, you really have to deny it so hard?
Let me ask you another question to both of you
[Hilarious but freaking ugly] VS
[Freaking handsome and...]
[Freaking handsome and... a little funny]
Of course, the latter.. duh..
(Appearance matters anyways...★)
[Getting married to your present wife in your next life] VS [Getting born as a son of your present wife in your next life]
Wow, hard to choose one
(Difficulty level is at its MAX)
My wife is... I call her 'a walking solution'
She's very wise and decisive
So if I have to get married in my next life,
Then I would choose her again
What if you don't have to get married?
Then I wouldn't get married!
*LOLOL*
Living a different life can't hurt :D
*playful*
[Holding in a fart during the radio show] VS [Holding your pee during the radio show]
One, two, three!
[Holding in a fart]
Ohmahgad, oppa!
You sneakily fart, don't ya?
*caught off-guard*
I know it!
How on earth he can hold his fart on the show for 16 years?
(hyena) I saw the chair rotten...
*OOF*
I had to replace chairs for about 10 times
*admit it*
Last question!
Let's go with the savage one!
[No. 1 in rating of radio show] VS
[No. 1 in rating of radio show] VS [No. 1 in sales of the book]
Three, two, one!
[No. 1 in sales of the book]
*embarrassed*
- Yeah, that makes sense! - Sure!
But you are not obsessed with the book sales, are you?
I AM OBSESSED WITH IT
(The one who just decided to enjoy life is nowhere to be found)
What's on the book cover? Your face?
*Pee-ka-boo* Yeah, my face on the cover
So people can recognize it's by me!
When it comes to famous writers,
Their book cover is very plain!
But I'm not one of those famous writers!
You are FAMOUS!
Are you ordering me? Or...
*what a confusing nuance*
"Be famous! Copy that?" *what a confusing nuance*
I mean, you are very famous now!
When you promote if from Cultwo Show, that's end of story!
No... not really... *blushes*
You feel shy when talking about your book?
Yeah, it's quite awkward!
Then won't you talk about your book on Cultwo Show?
Of course I will though!
Jungshik, please mention it on your show! (*Fun Fun Today)
The more promtion, the better :)
It's available from October 21, Plz look 4wrd 2 it♥
[Post-credits Scene]
Q. How was it for today's Show!terview?
I love it! I had so much fun and got comforted a lot
It feels so different from how I do in the same studio
I felt like I was just hanging out
- How do you feel about me being a host? - You're good!
No other MCs are like her in Korea
*true dat*
Wow, that sounds really...!
Cause she's a very new type of MC in Korea
I think Jessi per se became a new genre of MC
*Ahhhh*
No one can imitate you!
Jessi, you are only one!
(moved)
That's so touching! *smacking*
*What a heart-warming smashing*
(Jessi so cute lol)
Lastly, please say a word to your fans!
Dear my fans, possibly out there(?)
They are more than just fans for me They are like my family
Thank you so much
The new book of 'I just want to enjoy life' is,
If you really love me...
I hope you check it out
Because it's about my life
I'm just saying it..
I'm just saying it.. TO SELL THE BOOKS
(plz check it out:D)
They know it!
We all know it! lolol
(Jessi the best👍)
Thank you so much for coming here today!
'I just want to enjoy life' Please look forward to it!
Please make a closing comment in Cultwo Show style!
My closing comment...
'It's not that I'm smiling because I'm happy, But it's that I'm happy for I can smile'
'Did you feel happy today?'
'If so, I am happy too'
It's the closing comment that I've been saying for the first 10 years
And for the 2 years when my mom was sick in bed
My closing comment during the years was "Mom, I love you"
Until she passed away
Because she's listening to it,
I hoped she could overcome her disease
Since she passed away and I started to feel the vanity of life
Now I have a new closing comment for the last 7 years
'Don't put your precious today off until tomorrow, but do your best to feel happy. Thank you.'
Everyone and Show!terview fans, do your best to feel happy for the rest of your day! Thank you!❤
What a wholesome message from a veteran DJ
Jessi's Show!terviewwww!
(Please look forward to the essay by Kim Taegyun: 'I just want to enjoy life')
