EBS History of Culture Series - Part 1
THE COUNT OF MYEONGDONG
4
00:00:08,946 --> 00:00:11,711
~ Episode 18 ~
5
00:00:11,818 --> 00:00:14,350
You haven't changed a bit.
6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,751
You're just as I left you.
7
00:00:17,290 --> 00:00:18,915
What can I say...
8
00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:21,632
{\a6}~ Jeon Hye Rin ~
9
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,669
I've heard Park In Hwan
Seonsaengnim passed away?!
10
00:00:23,776 --> 00:00:27,122
Ohh... You've heard the news.
11
00:00:27,533 --> 00:00:28,505
Yes.
12
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,803
A few months later.
13
00:00:30,903 --> 00:00:32,832
That damned bottle...
14
00:00:32,923 --> 00:00:38,610
After hearing of his death,
I felt sad for quite some time.
15
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,017
Every time he uttered a word,
we'd always end up arguing.
16
00:00:44,291 --> 00:00:47,611
- That was just...
- It's really a shame.
17
00:00:48,001 --> 00:00:51,106
By the way...
Care for a cup of tea?
18
00:00:51,189 --> 00:00:54,263
Since we're here, you can greet
Gongcho Seonsaengnim as well.
19
00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:55,651
Later.
20
00:00:56,671 --> 00:01:00,589
It's too early for drinks,
so let's just have a cup of tea.
21
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:03,052
Where do you all hang out, these days?
22
00:01:03,142 --> 00:01:05,879
Right... You don't know
how much this place changed.
23
00:01:05,998 --> 00:01:07,658
It's not the Myeongdong
you knew anymore.
24
00:01:07,785 --> 00:01:10,684
The Mona Lisa has closed
its doors a few years back,
25
00:01:10,842 --> 00:01:12,364
the Poem is history as well.
26
00:01:12,507 --> 00:01:16,292
Right...
Did the Poem open before you left?
27
00:01:16,482 --> 00:01:18,382
First time I'm hearing it?!
28
00:01:19,103 --> 00:01:20,977
We all go to the Eunseong, these days.
29
00:01:21,108 --> 00:01:24,502
There's this groggery
between the Arts Theater and...
30
00:01:24,597 --> 00:01:27,040
Seonsaengnim.
I'm sorry,
31
00:01:27,147 --> 00:01:29,017
but I'll have to go.
32
00:01:29,283 --> 00:01:30,353
Are you that busy?
33
00:01:30,443 --> 00:01:31,579
Yes.
34
00:01:31,734 --> 00:01:34,271
You don't know
how picky my daughter is...
35
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:36,427
She just doesn't drink any milk.
36
00:01:36,534 --> 00:01:40,192
Someone made her try
Japanese milk powder,
37
00:01:40,311 --> 00:01:41,681
and that's all she tolerates now.
38
00:01:41,788 --> 00:01:45,708
It's hard to find at the market,
so I thought I could try in Myeongdong.
39
00:01:45,839 --> 00:01:47,305
So, did you find it?
40
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:49,135
Yes.
41
00:01:53,955 --> 00:01:57,900
I've become an old broad
like the others, didn't I?
42
00:02:02,715 --> 00:02:05,643
I even had a child, so what can you do?
43
00:02:05,976 --> 00:02:11,085
First... I want to
become a good mother to her.
44
00:02:14,356 --> 00:02:15,936
Seonsaengnim.
45
00:02:16,106 --> 00:02:18,366
I'll see you later.
46
00:02:41,888 --> 00:02:44,478
Why did you come back in?
47
00:02:46,258 --> 00:02:48,630
Ohh... Have a seat.
48
00:02:49,148 --> 00:02:51,072
Ahh... yes.
49
00:02:54,632 --> 00:02:57,388
I've been gathering
the work of all the regulars...
50
00:02:57,548 --> 00:03:00,744
hanging out here at the Bronze.
51
00:03:01,033 --> 00:03:02,888
Must be around a hundred.
52
00:03:02,996 --> 00:03:05,152
Impressive, isn't it?
53
00:03:05,323 --> 00:03:07,963
Did you gather that many?
54
00:03:08,143 --> 00:03:11,533
This is the epitome of literary purity.
55
00:03:11,643 --> 00:03:16,628
All you find these days are works
stressing ideology and doctrine,
56
00:03:16,795 --> 00:03:19,183
but there is none of that here.
57
00:03:19,424 --> 00:03:22,414
Since they only write what they want to.
58
00:03:22,614 --> 00:03:25,374
If I really had to give it a name...
59
00:03:25,485 --> 00:03:27,884
Would medley fit the bill?
Something like that.
60
00:03:31,975 --> 00:03:32,904
What is it?
61
00:03:33,071 --> 00:03:34,703
Anything against that?
62
00:03:36,125 --> 00:03:41,585
Actually... I was planning
to tell you earlier.
63
00:03:41,746 --> 00:03:43,186
Ohh... Go ahead.
64
00:03:43,293 --> 00:03:47,186
Don't literary anthologies
like that need some kind of...
65
00:03:47,326 --> 00:03:51,056
unified directive or stance to begin with?
66
00:03:51,175 --> 00:03:53,785
They don't, they sure don't.
It's not that.
67
00:03:53,892 --> 00:03:55,727
Still, there should
at least be a systematic...
68
00:03:55,869 --> 00:03:57,776
Listen, Lee Bong Gu.
69
00:03:58,336 --> 00:04:02,626
The idea that literature needs to
display a uniform stance is parochial.
70
00:04:02,726 --> 00:04:04,517
And it's not just literature.
71
00:04:04,627 --> 00:04:06,766
Works just as well for how people live.
72
00:04:07,117 --> 00:04:10,572
Become too methodical,
and you will stop improving.
73
00:04:10,870 --> 00:04:13,181
Let's look back at our past.
74
00:04:13,431 --> 00:04:15,497
Wasn't it dominated by disorder?
75
00:04:15,587 --> 00:04:21,848
What we did was instilling
the willpower to open a new era.
76
00:04:24,248 --> 00:04:26,019
Ehh... Forget it.
77
00:04:26,162 --> 00:04:28,314
What am I talking about, anyhow?
78
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:29,863
Don't say that, Seonsaengnim.
79
00:04:29,982 --> 00:04:32,913
Your words left a big impression.
80
00:04:33,008 --> 00:04:34,330
Just forget it.
81
00:04:34,485 --> 00:04:37,821
What does all that paltry rubbish
matter, when you're an old fart?
82
00:04:39,870 --> 00:04:45,024
But why do you keep trying to
abandon everything that's yours?
83
00:04:45,191 --> 00:04:51,553
On the contrary, I think people
like you should voice their views.
84
00:04:51,696 --> 00:04:57,031
Only then we can find the light
amid all this disorder.
85
00:04:57,162 --> 00:05:00,340
That is something you must let be.
86
00:05:01,810 --> 00:05:03,580
What are you referring to?
87
00:05:03,681 --> 00:05:06,836
What's so troubling about all
this disorder we're facing now?
88
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:10,091
You call this much "disorder," even?!
89
00:05:10,246 --> 00:05:13,271
Is modernization something
you achieve in a day?
90
00:05:13,391 --> 00:05:16,369
The disorder of our post-liberation,
then of the war.
91
00:05:16,536 --> 00:05:19,288
The disorder of trying to
survive amid the rubble.
92
00:05:19,741 --> 00:05:23,050
All that chaos and confusion is
stirred together in the cauldron of time,
93
00:05:23,289 --> 00:05:25,838
and will eventually
find a new form by itself.
94
00:05:26,541 --> 00:05:28,400
Ohhh... By the way,
95
00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:31,057
you were on your way out,
what brought you back in?
96
00:05:31,211 --> 00:05:32,844
Ahh... yes.
97
00:05:33,202 --> 00:05:35,311
I met Jeon Hye Rin outside.
98
00:05:35,466 --> 00:05:36,634
So...
99
00:05:36,932 --> 00:05:38,142
Ohhh!
100
00:05:38,232 --> 00:05:39,707
That clever young lady?!
101
00:05:39,827 --> 00:05:42,781
Yes. She returned from
her studies in Germany,
102
00:05:42,936 --> 00:05:45,953
but she came back with a daughter.
103
00:05:46,053 --> 00:05:47,309
Aigoo...
104
00:05:47,463 --> 00:05:50,572
Then, all that energy of hers
must be vanishing into smoke?!
105
00:05:52,353 --> 00:05:56,483
Gongcho Oh Sang Soon's entire life
was dominated by his refusal to possess.
106
00:05:56,583 --> 00:06:01,390
Also, even if surrounded by a literary
world which stressed opinionated views,
107
00:06:01,521 --> 00:06:04,845
his prose was always free-spirited,
and devoid of any color or ideology.
108
00:06:06,239 --> 00:06:10,790
Oh Sang Soon Seonsaengnim was literally
living at the Bronze Coffee Shop,
109
00:06:07,276 --> 00:06:10,373
{\a6}~ Kang In Suk ~
(Youngin Literature House director)
110
00:06:10,933 --> 00:06:14,090
particularly considering that
he really had no occupation.
111
00:06:14,183 --> 00:06:20,831
Still, despite his age, he would
always scrapbook other people's works,
112
00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:27,992
enough that the "Bronze Literature"
alumni number in the dozens.
113
00:06:28,135 --> 00:06:31,423
I think that omnibus is kept
at Konkuk University's library,
114
00:06:31,530 --> 00:06:36,820
and Oh managed to get
people like Lee Hwa Ryong...
115
00:06:36,975 --> 00:06:43,146
to write a few words each,
almost forced by him to write.
116
00:06:43,614 --> 00:06:51,965
What was used back then
is what we today call "A4 Paper."
117
00:06:44,898 --> 00:06:49,234
{\a6}~ Lee Geun Bae ~
(Gongcho Appreciation Society chairman)
118
00:06:52,085 --> 00:06:56,809
Some would write an entire A4 page,
119
00:06:56,928 --> 00:07:00,359
others just a line or two.
120
00:07:00,502 --> 00:07:04,768
He used this snappy cover,
121
00:07:05,057 --> 00:07:11,056
and any of the customers
good at drawing or painting...
122
00:07:11,175 --> 00:07:15,134
would draw sketches of Gongcho Seonsaeng
or the entire coffee shop itself.
123
00:07:15,253 --> 00:07:19,399
It is now kept by Konkuk University,
124
00:07:19,506 --> 00:07:24,279
and he would simply title
these collections "Bronze Literature,"
125
00:07:24,389 --> 00:07:28,451
separating every hundred pages or so.
126
00:07:32,656 --> 00:07:34,122
Come here.
127
00:07:34,288 --> 00:07:36,171
Come over here.
128
00:07:38,550 --> 00:07:39,510
Yes... Seonsaengnim.
129
00:07:39,617 --> 00:07:41,547
Write something here.
130
00:07:42,524 --> 00:07:44,319
What shall I...
131
00:07:44,419 --> 00:07:46,611
Anything, just a few sentences.
132
00:07:46,754 --> 00:07:49,370
Anything coming to mind.
133
00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:52,440
I apologize.
134
00:07:55,461 --> 00:07:57,463
Wretched fool...
135
00:07:57,629 --> 00:08:00,381
Is literature scaring you that much?
136
00:08:10,331 --> 00:08:16,795
How on earth
should we define our 1950s?
137
00:08:17,021 --> 00:08:20,012
The era of a fratricidal war
and the resulting rubble,
138
00:08:20,112 --> 00:08:23,513
but also the days
when people sought out...
139
00:08:23,693 --> 00:08:27,667
new means of living and survival
amidst that same rubble?
140
00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:30,889
Could we sum it up that way?
141
00:08:31,723 --> 00:08:34,243
The days of Lee Seung Man's dictatorship,
142
00:08:34,333 --> 00:08:40,039
and the resistance which brought us
to the democratic revolution of April 19?
143
00:08:41,133 --> 00:08:48,209
Historically, we consider the 1950s
a very precious and important decade.
144
00:08:49,253 --> 00:08:53,284
Days stricken by poverty,
but blessed with romanticism,
145
00:08:53,523 --> 00:08:58,172
or the days when humanism
reigned supreme, is how we call it.
146
00:08:59,344 --> 00:09:02,974
Is it really a fair assessment?
147
00:09:04,224 --> 00:09:07,596
It still evokes endless doubts.
148
00:09:07,977 --> 00:09:14,705
The 1950s saw millions of people die,
or severely wound themselves in the war.
149
00:09:14,826 --> 00:09:20,625
Countless people had to live off
coarse food, and many more starved.
150
00:09:20,826 --> 00:09:23,405
There was no political freedom, either.
151
00:09:23,699 --> 00:09:26,967
But... romanticism?!
152
00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:32,328
Still, what if we thought of it this way?
153
00:09:33,747 --> 00:09:36,295
The days when everyone
had to experience poverty,
154
00:09:36,498 --> 00:09:39,507
on the contrary turning it
into a familiar, ordinary sight.
155
00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:42,271
There were no rich to envy,
156
00:09:42,438 --> 00:09:45,595
nor people whose existence depended
upon killing others to survive,
157
00:09:46,087 --> 00:09:53,548
or the raging materialism which excused
everything at the altar of wellbeing.
158
00:09:54,798 --> 00:10:00,792
All those social cancers afflicting us
today were nowhere to be seen in the 1950s.
159
00:10:01,423 --> 00:10:06,808
The relief of surviving through
the grim reality of the war,
160
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:10,588
that sole realization bringing
people happiness was...
161
00:10:10,703 --> 00:10:12,788
what our Fifties were all about.
162
00:10:14,063 --> 00:10:17,538
And it was from that
very sense of relief...
163
00:10:17,716 --> 00:10:21,648
that people started to
twist and turn once again.
164
00:10:29,356 --> 00:10:33,240
Why aren't you eating
and just sitting there?
165
00:10:33,431 --> 00:10:35,635
You must be hungry,
so go ahead and have some.
166
00:10:35,766 --> 00:10:37,899
Right... Let's eat.
167
00:10:38,447 --> 00:10:41,735
Wow! Look...
What is this...
168
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:45,061
What are you doing...
Here, come.
169
00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:48,531
You'll spoil them, what are you doing?
170
00:10:48,621 --> 00:10:51,419
Ehh... Then, do I eat this all by myself?
171
00:10:51,562 --> 00:10:53,971
They'll eat whatever is left.
172
00:10:54,091 --> 00:10:55,899
What are you doing?
Come have some.
173
00:10:56,006 --> 00:10:57,316
I said come!
174
00:10:57,459 --> 00:10:59,106
You little rascal!
175
00:10:59,428 --> 00:11:01,252
How dare you act with such arrogance?
176
00:11:01,411 --> 00:11:02,692
Look.
177
00:11:02,782 --> 00:11:04,512
Isn't he in middle school now?
178
00:11:04,612 --> 00:11:08,422
If he's that old already,
then he can sit and eat with his father.
179
00:11:08,613 --> 00:11:09,995
Come here.
180
00:11:11,616 --> 00:11:13,129
Fine.
181
00:11:13,248 --> 00:11:16,503
I'll let him join you only for today.
182
00:11:16,592 --> 00:11:19,300
Ahh... I said come here.
183
00:11:23,911 --> 00:11:26,353
Come sit here.
184
00:11:28,304 --> 00:11:30,087
Listen.
185
00:11:30,333 --> 00:11:33,136
Enough with all that obsession of yours.
186
00:11:33,244 --> 00:11:36,663
When we eat, let's just
do it together, all four.
187
00:11:36,854 --> 00:11:39,672
Keep siding with the kids, will you?
188
00:11:39,779 --> 00:11:42,554
You really want them to...
You little scoundrel!
189
00:11:42,644 --> 00:11:44,378
What are you touching?
190
00:11:45,545 --> 00:11:47,405
Just let him do it!
191
00:11:47,515 --> 00:11:49,679
Have him eat whatever he wants.
192
00:11:50,724 --> 00:11:53,498
Where would you find someone
who starts eating before his father does?
193
00:11:53,617 --> 00:11:55,237
Enough with that!
194
00:11:56,095 --> 00:11:57,382
Here you go.
195
00:11:57,692 --> 00:11:59,050
Have some, uh?
196
00:11:59,205 --> 00:12:02,175
It smells so good.
197
00:12:02,564 --> 00:12:05,197
You sure know how to educate your kids...
198
00:12:05,328 --> 00:12:07,770
I said have some!
199
00:12:09,295 --> 00:12:11,356
You insolent little scoundrel!
200
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:16,872
Why are you making a scene
out of a damned chicken wing?
201
00:12:17,776 --> 00:12:18,991
You little scoundrel...
202
00:12:19,099 --> 00:12:20,981
What did I tell you?
203
00:12:21,148 --> 00:12:25,198
Didn't I tell you not to touch any food
before your father starts eating?
204
00:12:25,330 --> 00:12:27,589
You little scoundrel.
What are you, some kind of mongrel?
205
00:12:27,708 --> 00:12:31,786
Do you rush to eat food
like some kind of stray dog?
206
00:12:31,893 --> 00:12:32,643
You little...
207
00:12:32,750 --> 00:12:34,299
I'm sorry, Mother.
208
00:12:34,394 --> 00:12:37,492
And I thought it wouldn't happen today.
Our Young Tae is getting hit again!
209
00:12:37,647 --> 00:12:40,268
Are you really going to
hurt your kids over that?
210
00:12:40,363 --> 00:12:42,323
If I knew he would become
such a wretched scoundrel,
211
00:12:42,406 --> 00:12:44,765
I would have left him at the orphanage.
212
00:12:44,837 --> 00:12:47,351
Aigoo!
Violence will teach them nothing.
213
00:12:47,494 --> 00:12:50,222
Stop barging in and just come here.
214
00:12:50,448 --> 00:12:51,986
You little insolent scoundrel...
215
00:12:52,081 --> 00:12:54,833
He's had enough!
216
00:12:54,916 --> 00:12:57,966
They always say
"spare the rod, spoil the child."
217
00:12:58,085 --> 00:13:00,123
You little rascal,
if I let you act as you please,
218
00:13:00,218 --> 00:13:02,136
when will you ever
become a decent person?
219
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:03,852
That's right!
220
00:13:03,952 --> 00:13:08,727
You must be strict with your kids,
even if it takes a scolding!
221
00:13:09,912 --> 00:13:12,174
Again with that!
222
00:13:12,582 --> 00:13:13,932
Close that door!
223
00:13:14,103 --> 00:13:17,321
Keep taking their side,
and I'll hit them even harder!
224
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,084
That temper of yours...
225
00:13:19,203 --> 00:13:21,163
They need to be taught a lesson!
226
00:13:21,252 --> 00:13:24,847
So they'll become successful
and we'll live in abundance.
227
00:13:24,918 --> 00:13:26,823
- You little scoundrel...
- I'm sorry.
228
00:13:26,903 --> 00:13:28,111
- I ought to...
- Aigoo!
229
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:29,743
Hyungnim, just stay put.
230
00:13:29,838 --> 00:13:31,884
Don't you know her temper?
231
00:13:32,053 --> 00:13:36,484
If you get involved,
she'll hit him even more.
232
00:13:37,058 --> 00:13:38,035
Do as you please!
233
00:13:38,130 --> 00:13:40,354
Kill them, while you're at it!
234
00:13:58,315 --> 00:14:00,233
Young Seok.
235
00:14:00,996 --> 00:14:03,676
Don't resent your mother.
236
00:14:04,487 --> 00:14:07,111
Think she's hitting you out of spite?
237
00:14:07,302 --> 00:14:10,268
It is just not to spoil you.
238
00:14:10,506 --> 00:14:11,424
Understand?
239
00:14:11,543 --> 00:14:12,865
Yes.
240
00:14:13,246 --> 00:14:14,914
Right...
241
00:14:15,248 --> 00:14:17,678
Just study hard, uh?
242
00:14:17,881 --> 00:14:21,152
Pass the civil service examination
like your mother wants,
243
00:14:21,235 --> 00:14:24,166
and become a great man.
244
00:14:25,190 --> 00:14:26,108
All right?
245
00:14:26,227 --> 00:14:27,216
Yes.
246
00:14:27,359 --> 00:14:30,468
All right.
Let's eat.
247
00:14:34,746 --> 00:14:36,068
Ahh... What are you waiting for?
248
00:14:36,175 --> 00:14:37,617
I said eat.
249
00:14:38,105 --> 00:14:39,261
Go ahead.
250
00:14:39,476 --> 00:14:42,359
You first need to start, if...
251
00:14:42,704 --> 00:14:47,741
I have plenty of tasty food outside.
252
00:14:47,813 --> 00:14:49,755
So, don't worry and go ahead.
253
00:14:49,874 --> 00:14:52,400
Have some of this.
254
00:14:54,489 --> 00:14:57,038
Nice way to educate them!
255
00:14:59,277 --> 00:15:00,457
Hyungnim, you really...
256
00:15:00,552 --> 00:15:03,209
You know she'd pester you the
entire night, why even bother?
257
00:15:03,316 --> 00:15:05,806
I can't bear to see
my kids subjected to that.
258
00:15:05,901 --> 00:15:08,649
But your wife is doing a
wonderful job with them.
259
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:11,440
Think of how insolent
little kiddos are these days.
260
00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:13,393
Right.
261
00:15:13,750 --> 00:15:18,430
My mother was very strict
with me as well.
262
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,755
And, look at me!
263
00:15:19,862 --> 00:15:21,851
Look at how I turned out!
264
00:15:21,970 --> 00:15:24,175
Why, what's wrong with you?
265
00:15:24,306 --> 00:15:26,895
Do you live by stealing
other people's things?
266
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:28,968
Or do you con anyone
out of their money?
267
00:15:29,123 --> 00:15:31,423
You really...
268
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,356
I just might be living honestly
because of my mother, then.
269
00:15:39,461 --> 00:15:42,119
As for us,
we still have no kids, so...
270
00:15:42,297 --> 00:15:44,644
Don't let that disappoint you.
271
00:15:44,775 --> 00:15:45,931
Indeed.
272
00:15:46,062 --> 00:15:50,387
Those kids are just a
fortune to me, a fortune indeed!
273
00:15:50,542 --> 00:15:52,524
Sure they are.
274
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:54,490
Only thieves would do that
without the owner's consent!
275
00:15:54,597 --> 00:15:56,622
If you're not a thief, then who is?
276
00:15:56,718 --> 00:15:59,172
No need to waste time prattling,
just carry him to the station.
277
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:02,317
Let's talk down at the station!
278
00:16:02,591 --> 00:16:04,533
- A moment... Just a moment.
- Yang, what...
279
00:16:04,628 --> 00:16:06,222
What's wrong?
280
00:16:06,365 --> 00:16:09,630
I always tell you that
I always lose my camera, don't I?
281
00:16:09,761 --> 00:16:11,983
But he was the one stealing it.
282
00:16:12,113 --> 00:16:14,324
And he always comes dressed all nicely.
283
00:16:14,419 --> 00:16:17,397
So this is your camera thief, you mean?
284
00:16:17,528 --> 00:16:20,733
He was suspicious so I
pretended I didn't notice him.
285
00:16:20,843 --> 00:16:24,323
But this fella was putting
my camera in his inside pocket.
286
00:16:24,444 --> 00:16:26,248
I wasn't trying to steal it.
287
00:16:26,355 --> 00:16:27,499
Shut that trap!
288
00:16:27,630 --> 00:16:31,395
You don't have anything better to do
than to steal other people's cameras?
289
00:16:31,538 --> 00:16:33,860
Enough with the hitting!
290
00:16:33,944 --> 00:16:35,742
Yang, what are you waiting for?
Take him to the police.
291
00:16:35,826 --> 00:16:37,077
Let's go!
292
00:16:37,208 --> 00:16:38,525
I said wait!
293
00:16:38,745 --> 00:16:42,402
There must be a reason why
you tried to steal his camera, right?
294
00:16:42,521 --> 00:16:43,880
Reason, my ass!
295
00:16:43,975 --> 00:16:47,004
Let's at least listen.
296
00:16:47,386 --> 00:16:49,173
Listen.
297
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:52,595
You look old enough to know better,
298
00:16:52,715 --> 00:16:56,376
so why are you going
around stealing things?
299
00:17:00,752 --> 00:17:02,348
I'm just so hungry!
300
00:17:02,479 --> 00:17:04,576
You're hungry, so you
steal other people's things?!
301
00:17:04,659 --> 00:17:07,233
Do some hard labor,
if nothing else works.
302
00:17:07,411 --> 00:17:11,486
And where would I
find that kind of work?
303
00:17:13,606 --> 00:17:17,019
My wife's illness is killing her,
304
00:17:17,447 --> 00:17:20,141
I don't even have money
for the hospital,
305
00:17:20,391 --> 00:17:23,703
and my kids keep crying
that they're hungry.
306
00:17:23,834 --> 00:17:25,593
That's a bunch of lies.
307
00:17:25,748 --> 00:17:27,570
Stay put, will you?
308
00:17:27,713 --> 00:17:29,560
Shouldn't we at least
listen what he has to say?
309
00:17:29,679 --> 00:17:31,776
Ahh... I know what the "reason" is!
310
00:17:31,883 --> 00:17:33,492
You heartless old fart...
311
00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:35,839
If we bring him down to the station,
it'll be a ticket to the can.
312
00:17:35,970 --> 00:17:38,348
Do we really need to do that?
313
00:17:38,948 --> 00:17:40,302
I apologize.
314
00:17:40,421 --> 00:17:41,791
If you could only forgive me this once,
315
00:17:41,886 --> 00:17:44,308
I will never, ever do it again.
316
00:17:44,498 --> 00:17:46,366
I swear, Seonsaengnim!
317
00:17:46,509 --> 00:17:49,690
Still... No matter
how hard things might be,
318
00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:53,463
you can't steal other
people's things, can you?
319
00:17:53,642 --> 00:17:57,519
I just was blinded by the moment...
320
00:17:58,419 --> 00:18:00,695
And since I was so hungry...
321
00:18:01,457 --> 00:18:03,709
Look, Yang.
322
00:18:03,864 --> 00:18:08,774
He's apologized, so let's
just forgive him this once.
323
00:18:08,893 --> 00:18:11,121
How about the cameras he stole before?
324
00:18:11,323 --> 00:18:12,900
This is my first time!
325
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,374
You've been prancing around
my place for the last few days!
326
00:18:15,505 --> 00:18:16,672
Ahh... It wasn't me!
327
00:18:16,744 --> 00:18:18,500
I told you it's the first time.
328
00:18:18,614 --> 00:18:20,333
Look, Yang.
329
00:18:20,452 --> 00:18:23,070
You found your camera, so that's enough.
330
00:18:23,180 --> 00:18:28,768
He says he won't do it again,
so let's forgive him, uh?
331
00:18:31,616 --> 00:18:33,115
What are you doing?
332
00:18:33,234 --> 00:18:36,911
- Apologize and just go.
- Yes...
333
00:18:37,112 --> 00:18:38,179
My apologies.
334
00:18:38,274 --> 00:18:41,943
I will never do that again.
Of course I won't!
335
00:18:42,146 --> 00:18:44,971
Yang, are you letting him go?
336
00:18:45,071 --> 00:18:46,432
Just let him go!
337
00:18:46,563 --> 00:18:49,121
Ahh... If he's so hungry
he's about to starve,
338
00:18:49,256 --> 00:18:52,342
where did he find the money
for those fancy clothes?
339
00:18:53,950 --> 00:18:55,308
Now that I think about it, that's right?!
340
00:18:55,415 --> 00:18:58,346
Thievery is his trade for sure.
341
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:01,724
And he has the guts to act all preachy...
342
00:19:19,403 --> 00:19:21,159
In other words, back then,
343
00:19:20,933 --> 00:19:25,091
{\a6}~ Jung Ha Yeon ~
(The Count of Myeongdong writer)
344
00:19:21,278 --> 00:19:25,638
compassion and humanism were
much more important to people...
345
00:19:25,733 --> 00:19:30,082
than merely abiding by the law.
346
00:19:30,189 --> 00:19:33,311
So, if anyone from your
neighborhood had done something wrong,
347
00:19:33,442 --> 00:19:39,485
more than just leaving him to the authorities,
he would be scolded by the elders.
348
00:19:39,625 --> 00:19:43,642
So common sense was much
stronger than any other law.
349
00:19:43,785 --> 00:19:47,062
And if someone
acted against common sense,
350
00:19:47,181 --> 00:19:50,314
then the verdict of the people was
decided upon before the trial started.
351
00:19:50,469 --> 00:19:54,307
But these days, at the slightest
sign of confrontation,
352
00:19:54,438 --> 00:19:59,132
we're all up in arms and let the law
deal with it in black and white ways.
353
00:19:59,275 --> 00:20:01,038
That didn't happen back then.
354
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:08,181
It was a time when common sense and
that basic human "code" reigned supreme.
355
00:20:08,490 --> 00:20:10,270
You will do what?
356
00:20:10,490 --> 00:20:12,029
Movies!
357
00:20:12,267 --> 00:20:13,697
Movies?!
358
00:20:13,875 --> 00:20:17,533
Yeah... I plan to make a
really great movie, Sister.
359
00:20:17,878 --> 00:20:20,420
What is it now,
you plan to end up on the street?
360
00:20:20,646 --> 00:20:23,994
Don't you know that every movie
released these days hits the jackpot?
361
00:20:24,220 --> 00:20:27,911
To my knowledge, there's a lot
more of them ending belly up.
362
00:20:28,271 --> 00:20:29,796
The story is just to die for.
363
00:20:29,915 --> 00:20:32,095
It's one of those great tearjerkers.
364
00:20:32,301 --> 00:20:34,461
What is it about?
365
00:20:35,097 --> 00:20:37,022
There's this coachman,
366
00:20:37,229 --> 00:20:42,364
who, come rain or snow,
works his hardest to see his son succeed.
367
00:20:43,602 --> 00:20:44,795
Anyhow...
368
00:20:44,992 --> 00:20:47,873
After enduring all sorts of difficulties,
369
00:20:47,992 --> 00:20:52,013
at long last, his son passes
the civil service examination.
370
00:20:52,305 --> 00:20:54,342
Aigoo, I'm in tears already...
371
00:20:54,485 --> 00:20:56,176
Of course you will be.
372
00:20:56,308 --> 00:20:58,607
What is parents' greatest
wish, these days?
373
00:20:58,738 --> 00:21:00,622
Isn't it seeing their children succeed?
374
00:21:00,717 --> 00:21:03,273
There are parents in this country
who would even sell their cows...
375
00:21:03,433 --> 00:21:06,174
to send their children to college.
376
00:21:06,693 --> 00:21:09,724
So you plan to completely
abandon the underworld?
377
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:14,855
Swordsmen die by the sword,
378
00:21:14,986 --> 00:21:18,680
and it's only natural that the
same would happen for gangsters.
379
00:21:19,001 --> 00:21:22,039
But I hear Lee Jung Jae
is doing quite well.
380
00:21:22,385 --> 00:21:27,183
He made Im Hwa Soo establish this "Anti-
Communist Artist Association" or something.
381
00:21:27,349 --> 00:21:31,817
But I also hear that Im Hwa Soo is
employing actors as if they were servants?
382
00:21:31,936 --> 00:21:33,556
You just wait and see.
383
00:21:33,699 --> 00:21:36,189
The world will be turned upside down.
384
00:21:36,535 --> 00:21:38,045
And when that happens,
385
00:21:38,145 --> 00:21:42,193
gangsters will be the first
to suffer the consequences.
386
00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:45,970
So what are you going to do?
387
00:21:46,149 --> 00:21:49,270
Want to see me taken
to the penitentiary?
388
00:21:55,126 --> 00:21:56,853
Here...
389
00:21:58,402 --> 00:22:00,118
I don't really know much about movies,
390
00:22:00,261 --> 00:22:02,870
so I leave it all to you, Director Kang.
391
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:05,396
Ahh... Still, you're the producer...
392
00:22:05,617 --> 00:22:09,357
I'll leave it to you and Kim Seung Ho.
393
00:22:09,547 --> 00:22:10,864
Don't worry, Lee Sajangnim.
394
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,272
Director Kang will
make a great film out of this.
395
00:22:11,972 --> 00:22:16,249
{\a6}~ Kim Seung Ho (actor), Kang Dae Jin (director) ~
396
00:22:14,438 --> 00:22:17,822
But you're investing so much,
what if it flops?
397
00:22:17,905 --> 00:22:21,228
Just make a great movie,
what are you worrying about?
398
00:22:21,367 --> 00:22:25,967
Don't worry about the producer,
and do as you wish.
399
00:22:27,108 --> 00:22:29,248
Thank you, Lee Sajangnim.
400
00:22:35,885 --> 00:22:38,625
What did I tell you?
There is no stopping him.
401
00:22:38,756 --> 00:22:41,499
But... This is such a burden...
402
00:22:43,403 --> 00:22:46,646
Is there such a thing as a free lunch?
403
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,609
That over there...
404
00:22:50,148 --> 00:22:52,627
Go out and double it.
405
00:22:52,746 --> 00:22:56,160
Y...es. Yes! Certainly.
I will do my best.
406
00:23:07,392 --> 00:23:08,417
Kim Hyung.
407
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,550
Can we really accept this money?
408
00:23:10,650 --> 00:23:12,523
Didn't he give it to you to make a film?
409
00:23:12,642 --> 00:23:15,811
I mean... Don't you
know who Lee Hwa Ryong is?
410
00:23:15,930 --> 00:23:16,943
There is nothing to worry about.
411
00:23:17,038 --> 00:23:19,821
He and Lee Jung Jae are
just on a different planet.
412
00:23:27,111 --> 00:23:29,102
Anything to say?
413
00:23:30,390 --> 00:23:34,452
You need to wake up
and smell the roses, Aunim.
414
00:23:34,762 --> 00:23:37,062
What is this movie thing?
415
00:23:37,586 --> 00:23:40,381
I will leave this scene.
416
00:23:40,869 --> 00:23:42,287
Uh?!
417
00:23:43,991 --> 00:23:46,981
How long do you think
the Liberal Party will last?
418
00:23:47,910 --> 00:23:50,662
A...At least ten years, I guess.
419
00:23:54,667 --> 00:23:58,277
Lee Gi Bong will at least
have his shot at power.
420
00:23:58,396 --> 00:24:00,374
Isn't that right, Aunim?
421
00:24:00,814 --> 00:24:02,268
Unless it was something urgent,
422
00:24:02,399 --> 00:24:04,733
why would they ever try
to assassinate VP Jang Myeon?
423
00:24:04,912 --> 00:24:07,271
Wouldn't have they tried that because...
424
00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:10,178
they have no confidence
of winning the next elections?
425
00:24:10,738 --> 00:24:13,264
Ahh... Still...
426
00:24:13,407 --> 00:24:17,088
Are you just letting them
take over Myeongdong?
427
00:24:17,862 --> 00:24:21,000
If the regime changes, first thing
is they'll go after gangsters.
428
00:24:22,180 --> 00:24:25,801
So we must leave the scene
before it's too late.
429
00:24:30,829 --> 00:24:34,048
Who could be considered the
most popular star of the 20th century?
430
00:24:31,689 --> 00:24:43,269
{\a6}~ A Coachman ~
(1961, directed by Kang Dae Jin)
431
00:24:34,263 --> 00:24:36,598
Sending off the century
on December 31, 1999,
432
00:24:36,753 --> 00:24:40,005
Weekly Korea asked experts from
all branches of the entertainment world...
433
00:24:40,184 --> 00:24:48,318
who the most popular star
of the past century was.
434
00:24:48,545 --> 00:24:50,773
And the result was...
435
00:24:49,033 --> 00:24:56,074
{\a6}~ Romance Papa ~
(1960, directed by Shin Sang Ok)
436
00:24:50,916 --> 00:24:52,119
Kim Seung Ho for Korea,
437
00:24:52,286 --> 00:24:56,539
and Charlie Chaplin
for the rest of the world.
438
00:24:57,802 --> 00:24:59,779
Yes.
That's right.
439
00:25:00,255 --> 00:25:03,770
The biggest star in the 70-year-old
history of Korean cinema...
440
00:25:03,901 --> 00:25:05,640
was indeed Kim Seung Ho.
441
00:25:06,736 --> 00:25:08,643
He debuted in 1949,
442
00:25:08,714 --> 00:25:10,763
and until he passed away
two decades later,
443
00:25:10,882 --> 00:25:14,463
Kim had starred in a total of 540 films.
444
00:25:15,709 --> 00:25:17,895
Thanks to the film produced by
Myeongdong gangster Lee Hwa Ryong...
445
00:25:18,037 --> 00:25:20,256
and directed by Kang Dae Jin,
"A Coachman,"
446
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:23,950
Kim had the honor of leading
the very first Korean film...
447
00:25:24,044 --> 00:25:27,966
honored with the Silver Bear
at the Berlin Film Festival.
448
00:25:29,019 --> 00:25:34,501
It was one of those characters
oozing real life,
449
00:25:30,223 --> 00:25:33,297
{\a6}~ Director Yu Hyeon Mok ~
450
00:25:34,576 --> 00:25:41,810
one to which the masses
could tremendously relate.
451
00:25:42,538 --> 00:25:48,612
At the time, Kim was one
of the very best actors,
452
00:25:48,828 --> 00:25:53,488
as he would shoot over
ten films at the same time,
453
00:25:53,591 --> 00:25:56,621
moving from set to set,
just another example of his popularity.
454
00:25:56,753 --> 00:26:02,810
And he was just phenomenal
when it came to portraying...
455
00:26:03,007 --> 00:26:06,562
such down to earth characters.
456
00:26:06,713 --> 00:26:12,201
Both in the 1950s and 60s, what most
characterized Kim Seung Ho's acting...
457
00:26:08,180 --> 00:26:12,295
{\a6}~ Film Critic Jo Yeong Jeong ~
458
00:26:12,370 --> 00:26:17,096
was representing the lower classes.
459
00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:20,854
Think, for instance, about his work
in Kim So Dong's "Money" from 1958,
460
00:26:20,985 --> 00:26:23,468
or Yu Hyeon Mok's "Seizure of Life" (1958),
461
00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:28,048
not to mention
Jo Geun Ha's "Way of the Body" (1959).
462
00:26:28,142 --> 00:26:30,032
If you look at his performances here,
463
00:26:30,126 --> 00:26:36,001
you will notice how they represent
the life of the working class.
464
00:26:36,104 --> 00:26:39,217
And moving onto the 60s, he starred
in notorious films like "A Coachman,"
465
00:26:39,311 --> 00:26:43,592
"Mr. Park," "Sunflower Family,"
or "Romance Papa."
466
00:26:43,695 --> 00:26:47,504
The father figures
he played in these films...
467
00:26:47,579 --> 00:26:51,646
The, how should I put it,
working-class father?
468
00:26:51,740 --> 00:26:53,443
This style of his was
very familiar and endearing,
469
00:26:53,490 --> 00:26:55,894
and it seems they perfectly exemplified
the lives of the working class.
470
00:26:56,452 --> 00:26:58,821
He worked with me
on many films as well,
471
00:26:58,925 --> 00:27:02,095
but no matter which character
you asked him to portray,
472
00:27:03,166 --> 00:27:05,645
his range would allow it,
not to mention his dubbing his own lines.
473
00:27:05,725 --> 00:27:09,240
At the time, only a few stars
dubbed their lines,
474
00:27:09,362 --> 00:27:13,237
and voice actors from
the radio would fill in.
475
00:27:14,027 --> 00:27:19,735
We were essentially shooting silent films,
so they dubbed them.
476
00:27:19,986 --> 00:27:22,722
But as far as Kim went, he was
always adamant it had to be him.
477
00:27:22,854 --> 00:27:30,881
Only then his performance
would be true to life and sincere.
478
00:27:31,587 --> 00:27:34,497
His earnest efforts were
always praised, in that sense.
479
00:27:34,831 --> 00:27:38,992
With the success of Lee Gyu Han's
"Chunhyang Story" (1955),
480
00:27:39,735 --> 00:27:43,648
the Korean film industry
entered a golden age.
481
00:27:43,958 --> 00:27:47,621
Jo Geun Ha's "Bear"
and "Way of the Body,"
482
00:27:48,477 --> 00:27:52,558
Hong Seong Gi's "Stars in My Heart,"
Shin Sang Ok's "Dream,"
483
00:27:52,708 --> 00:27:57,059
Kim Ki Young's "A Woman's War"
and "The Twilight Train."
484
00:27:57,458 --> 00:28:00,059
These, and so many others that
it would be hard to list them all,
485
00:28:00,209 --> 00:28:02,137
made big money at the box office.
486
00:28:02,278 --> 00:28:03,482
But on the other hand,
487
00:28:03,604 --> 00:28:07,655
the female classical opera which
was all the rage until the mid 1950s...
488
00:28:07,862 --> 00:28:11,322
was falling into ruins.
489
00:28:12,065 --> 00:28:17,489
Of course, the theater scene
was experiencing similar difficulties.
490
00:28:26,697 --> 00:28:29,962
Aigoo... Lee Hae Rang Seonsaengnim,
long time no see.
491
00:28:30,103 --> 00:28:32,492
Seems like you're not
producing any plays, these days?
492
00:28:32,595 --> 00:28:34,269
I guess...
493
00:28:34,420 --> 00:28:38,544
Then again, all you find here at the
Arts Theater are these singing shows.
494
00:28:38,647 --> 00:28:41,873
These days, aren't Hyun In
and Nam In Soo at the top?
495
00:28:41,986 --> 00:28:43,640
Isn't that right?!
496
00:28:47,149 --> 00:28:49,345
So, how did it go?
497
00:28:54,217 --> 00:28:55,063
That lady...
498
00:28:55,166 --> 00:28:58,896
Remember Im Chun Aeng,
who used to be so popular...
499
00:29:00,175 --> 00:29:01,830
That's quite a sad story.
500
00:29:01,933 --> 00:29:04,313
She's always in and out of the
Arts Theater asking for a spot,
501
00:29:04,407 --> 00:29:06,344
but it seems like
they're not giving her any.
502
00:29:06,551 --> 00:29:09,886
Then again, classical opera has
lost all its popularity, these days.
503
00:29:14,222 --> 00:29:16,046
Have some.
504
00:29:18,895 --> 00:29:22,617
Haven't you heard the news?
505
00:29:22,833 --> 00:29:28,513
The National Theater from Daegu
is moving to Seoul in June.
506
00:29:28,626 --> 00:29:30,156
Is that so?
507
00:29:31,021 --> 00:29:33,381
Seems like it's curtain call
for the Arts Theater,
508
00:29:33,494 --> 00:29:36,704
and a new day for the National Theater.
509
00:29:36,927 --> 00:29:38,902
Aigoo, really...
510
00:29:39,532 --> 00:29:40,425
Aigoo...
511
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:43,308
I guess I'll have to
leave this place as well.
512
00:29:43,412 --> 00:29:46,816
Then, they'll only welcome
pure arts, from now on?!
513
00:29:47,042 --> 00:29:49,929
Well, don't ask me that.
514
00:29:50,070 --> 00:29:53,249
These days, there seems to
be no place for pure arts.
515
00:29:53,315 --> 00:29:55,945
Since movies and gayo (pop music)
have invaded the entire place.
516
00:29:56,324 --> 00:30:00,528
But, let me get straight to the point.
517
00:30:00,735 --> 00:30:03,145
I was wondering if I
could borrow your cooperation...
518
00:30:03,265 --> 00:30:06,045
to establish a national theater troupe.
519
00:30:06,818 --> 00:30:08,351
What are you referring to?
520
00:30:08,492 --> 00:30:10,730
To be really honest,
521
00:30:10,852 --> 00:30:15,203
most theater actors
are under Shinhyeop's wings,
522
00:30:15,685 --> 00:30:20,168
so in truth, the national theater
troupe has no members.
523
00:30:20,356 --> 00:30:21,560
So?
524
00:30:21,889 --> 00:30:29,296
So, hoping that you and all the
Shinhyeop members could join the troupe...
525
00:30:31,615 --> 00:30:33,110
All the better.
526
00:30:33,242 --> 00:30:36,839
Funding for stage plays is on its last legs,
so if you enter the national troupe,
527
00:30:37,037 --> 00:30:38,344
our days of worrying
about budgets are over.
528
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,563
Not to mention that members
would be paid salaries.
529
00:30:41,175 --> 00:30:44,049
But we wouldn't be part
of the National Theater,
530
00:30:44,133 --> 00:30:46,797
but be employed by
the national theater troupe.
531
00:30:47,726 --> 00:30:48,788
Isn't that the same thing?
532
00:30:48,854 --> 00:30:50,020
Far from it.
533
00:30:50,284 --> 00:30:54,440
They're asking us to disband
Shinhyeop and join their ranks.
534
00:30:54,628 --> 00:30:56,678
So Shinhyeop must close its doors?
535
00:30:57,384 --> 00:31:01,343
If all Shinhyeop members join them,
wouldn't that happen anyway?
536
00:31:01,587 --> 00:31:03,557
{\a6}~ Kim Dong Won, Jang Min Ho (stage actors) ~
537
00:31:03,238 --> 00:31:04,564
Really...
538
00:31:07,545 --> 00:31:08,963
Let's just do it.
539
00:31:09,518 --> 00:31:10,929
Then, how about Shinhyeop?
540
00:31:11,051 --> 00:31:13,421
If Yu Chi Jin
Seonsaengnim learns of this...
541
00:31:15,198 --> 00:31:18,198
We can't allow our members to starve.
542
00:31:20,704 --> 00:31:24,523
~ National Theater ~
543
00:31:25,623 --> 00:31:29,680
The Arts Theater was
renamed National Theater.
544
00:31:30,054 --> 00:31:32,528
It was the result of all the efforts
the stage scene went through...
545
00:31:32,659 --> 00:31:36,590
to protect their arts from the
onslaught of mass entertainment.
546
00:31:52,935 --> 00:31:55,022
You were hungry?
547
00:31:57,364 --> 00:32:00,355
Is that why you sold out Shinhyeop?
548
00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:01,678
Seonsaengnim...
549
00:32:01,810 --> 00:32:03,352
It's not that...
550
00:32:03,898 --> 00:32:05,111
Then?
551
00:32:05,844 --> 00:32:09,267
These days, stage plays
don't draw anymore.
552
00:32:09,606 --> 00:32:13,261
Let alone fees for our cast,
even renting the place is impossible.
553
00:32:13,402 --> 00:32:14,456
Then...
554
00:32:13,666 --> 00:32:16,252
{\a6}~ Yu Chi Jin (playwright) ~
555
00:32:14,860 --> 00:32:18,405
Go work in the movies like
Kim Seung Ho or Ju Seon Tae!
556
00:32:18,923 --> 00:32:20,775
My apologies, Seonsaengnim.
557
00:32:22,644 --> 00:32:26,001
One of the "founding fathers" of
Shinhyeop was Dongnang, Yu Chi Jin.
558
00:32:26,453 --> 00:32:29,998
After losing in one day all the efforts
of cultivating Shinhyeop for a decade,
559
00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:33,969
Yu Chi Jin's anger was touching the sky.
560
00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:38,211
Go get it back.
561
00:32:40,647 --> 00:32:47,215
Even without members,
I'll help Shinhyeop survive on my own!
562
00:32:47,898 --> 00:32:50,004
You'll pardon me, Seonsaengnim.
563
00:32:50,845 --> 00:32:54,157
But talking to our members after they've
finally found food for their tables...
564
00:32:54,327 --> 00:32:57,637
I didn't start this troupe to fill my belly!
565
00:33:00,455 --> 00:33:02,283
Same goes for you.
566
00:33:02,621 --> 00:33:04,885
If putting food on the table
was all you cared about,
567
00:33:05,251 --> 00:33:07,979
don't waste your talent on the stage,
568
00:33:08,091 --> 00:33:09,982
and become a film director!
569
00:33:10,179 --> 00:33:12,906
I can't live without theater.
570
00:33:13,016 --> 00:33:16,042
That is why I told you
to get Shinhyeop back.
571
00:33:20,998 --> 00:33:23,095
Why aren't you answering me?
572
00:33:23,566 --> 00:33:26,307
Yes... I will.
573
00:33:31,876 --> 00:33:35,045
So you're unemployed once again?
574
00:33:35,196 --> 00:33:36,530
What else could I do?
575
00:33:36,661 --> 00:33:38,937
Yu Chi Jin Seonsaengnim
was spitting fire at me.
576
00:33:39,125 --> 00:33:41,486
Still, did you need to
hand out your resignation?
577
00:33:41,617 --> 00:33:45,031
It could have ended up with
other members doing the same,
578
00:33:45,163 --> 00:33:46,187
What could I do?
579
00:33:46,318 --> 00:33:47,776
Lee Hyung, you really...
580
00:33:47,870 --> 00:33:49,648
How many mouths do you have to feed?
581
00:33:49,742 --> 00:33:50,851
Isn't that seven?
582
00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:53,776
How are you going to
put food on the table now?
583
00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:57,803
It's not like we've been starving...
584
00:33:57,925 --> 00:34:01,216
What could possibly happen?
585
00:34:02,552 --> 00:34:06,332
But the same Lee Hae Rang
was met with good news.
586
00:34:10,190 --> 00:34:10,969
Lee Hyung.
587
00:34:11,129 --> 00:34:13,049
So you quit your National Theater post?
588
00:34:13,209 --> 00:34:15,165
Yes, I joined the jobless once again.
589
00:34:15,240 --> 00:34:17,600
Ahh... Good to hear, Lee Hyung!
590
00:34:19,356 --> 00:34:21,830
Remember Lee Jae Hak?
591
00:34:22,008 --> 00:34:23,353
Vice President of the National Assembly.
592
00:34:23,457 --> 00:34:24,369
Yes.
593
00:34:24,745 --> 00:34:29,790
He wants to establish a
cultural village in Hongje-Dong.
594
00:34:30,590 --> 00:34:31,910
Cultural village?!
595
00:34:32,020 --> 00:34:33,131
For free,
596
00:34:33,540 --> 00:34:37,672
he's giving lodging to poor artists.
597
00:34:38,662 --> 00:34:41,888
Give it a try, will you?
598
00:34:45,405 --> 00:34:50,693
Back then... So, we're
talking right before April 19.
599
00:34:48,433 --> 00:34:52,281
{\a6}~ Kim Si Cheol (poet) ~
600
00:34:50,806 --> 00:34:55,064
Lee Seung Man presented
his candidacy as president,
601
00:34:55,384 --> 00:34:59,851
and Lee Gi Bong was his running mate,
running for Vice President.
602
00:34:59,973 --> 00:35:04,351
Up until then, Lee Gi Bong had
been Speaker of the National Assembly.
603
00:35:04,530 --> 00:35:08,160
But as he joined the race
for vice president,
604
00:35:08,875 --> 00:35:13,383
he thought that helping out
the poor artists and scribes...
605
00:35:13,553 --> 00:35:17,632
could help him out in the
long run, in terms of votes.
606
00:35:17,849 --> 00:35:20,971
I don't know who gave
the order specifically,
607
00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:25,741
but there was a rumor they would establish
this cultural village in Hongje-Dong.
608
00:35:26,126 --> 00:35:32,284
At the time, I was editor of a
magazine called "Free Literature,"
609
00:35:33,332 --> 00:35:37,554
and since all writers
working there were poor,
610
00:35:37,648 --> 00:35:43,149
many of them applied to
be welcomed into this village.
611
00:35:43,243 --> 00:35:47,409
There were supporters of
Unam (Lee Seung Man) among scribes,
612
00:35:44,832 --> 00:35:49,986
{\a6}~ Lee Wan Beom ~
(Academy of Korean Studies professor)
613
00:35:47,503 --> 00:35:50,372
but the majority opposed him,
614
00:35:50,484 --> 00:35:54,913
so the number of those against him
far surpassed those who supported him.
615
00:35:55,036 --> 00:35:59,174
So the intent in building this cultural
village was to sort of turn the tide,
616
00:35:59,277 --> 00:36:02,343
but they didn't succeed at that,
617
00:36:02,456 --> 00:36:09,004
and even that small success,
by turning into failure,
618
00:36:09,506 --> 00:36:14,216
practically made sure this "cultural"
village deviated from its name...
619
00:36:14,329 --> 00:36:17,527
and initial intentions.
620
00:36:18,082 --> 00:36:19,699
With April 19 behind the corner,
621
00:36:19,803 --> 00:36:22,906
we've been neglecting our
protagonists for quite a while.
622
00:36:23,527 --> 00:36:26,278
We'll now return to
Kim Su Young's story.
623
00:36:27,764 --> 00:36:29,100
Here...
624
00:36:31,206 --> 00:36:32,903
Look at this...
625
00:36:32,998 --> 00:36:36,976
You've been good, haven't you?
626
00:36:41,585 --> 00:36:42,526
Oppa.
627
00:36:42,620 --> 00:36:44,914
- Here I am.
- Ohh... It's you?
628
00:36:45,667 --> 00:36:47,529
Oh my!
629
00:36:47,802 --> 00:36:49,344
Look at how quickly he's growing.
630
00:36:49,428 --> 00:36:50,378
Right...
631
00:36:50,501 --> 00:36:51,413
Eonni?
632
00:36:51,526 --> 00:36:53,753
She'll be in the backyard,
fixing the rabbit cage.
633
00:36:54,073 --> 00:36:55,860
Are you raising rabbits again?
634
00:36:55,991 --> 00:36:59,433
We can't make it by raising chickens
alone, what else can you do?
635
00:36:59,659 --> 00:37:03,371
I hear you're delivering eggs
to the American base?
636
00:37:03,484 --> 00:37:05,139
The feed is getting
more and more expensive,
637
00:37:05,233 --> 00:37:07,490
but the price of eggs is stagnating.
638
00:37:08,205 --> 00:37:11,233
Those American troops sure are something.
639
00:37:11,619 --> 00:37:13,322
They keep selling feed at higher prices,
640
00:37:13,463 --> 00:37:16,631
but just because the price of eggs
hasn't changed back home,
641
00:37:16,761 --> 00:37:18,842
they refuse to pay more for eggs here.
642
00:37:18,971 --> 00:37:22,153
If they don't want to give us more money,
then stop raising prices for feed.
643
00:37:22,265 --> 00:37:25,771
How can they act that way?
644
00:37:26,598 --> 00:37:28,602
Again with the complaints...
645
00:37:29,279 --> 00:37:32,641
Su Myeong, do you know
how many hours a day I work?
646
00:37:32,741 --> 00:37:36,149
I bring eggs to the base
early in the morning,
647
00:37:36,337 --> 00:37:39,036
buy the feed, come home
and feed the chickens.
648
00:37:39,214 --> 00:37:42,995
My wife goes by the riverbank to get
clovers for the rabbits, and feeds them.
649
00:37:43,174 --> 00:37:45,274
I clean the cages,
650
00:37:45,387 --> 00:37:48,547
and later, just to make a few pennies,
651
00:37:48,712 --> 00:37:50,916
I spend the whole evening translating.
652
00:37:52,826 --> 00:37:55,749
All this work is killing me,
why are you laughing?
653
00:37:55,973 --> 00:37:59,247
Because, even if you complain,
you still look happy.
654
00:37:59,445 --> 00:38:04,113
Now that we have one more mouth
to feed, I have no time to complain.
655
00:38:04,307 --> 00:38:06,071
What's with the flowers?
656
00:38:06,438 --> 00:38:08,770
This? I'll give them to Eonni.
657
00:38:11,516 --> 00:38:14,964
Here... We're all done.
658
00:38:21,284 --> 00:38:22,458
Eonni.
659
00:38:22,590 --> 00:38:25,524
Ohh... Come on in.
660
00:38:25,646 --> 00:38:27,299
Congratulations, Eonni!
661
00:38:30,145 --> 00:38:32,368
Oppa is being awarded.
662
00:38:32,547 --> 00:38:33,835
Awarded?!
663
00:38:34,155 --> 00:38:35,406
For what?
664
00:38:36,234 --> 00:38:38,892
They're having this award thing
at the Korean Association of Poets,
665
00:38:39,024 --> 00:38:42,720
and Oppa was proclaimed
the very first winner.
666
00:38:47,290 --> 00:38:49,197
Is it true?
667
00:38:52,818 --> 00:38:54,156
Dear!
668
00:38:55,611 --> 00:38:56,834
Dear...
669
00:38:57,059 --> 00:38:59,115
So you're winning an award?
670
00:38:59,997 --> 00:39:01,108
What award?
671
00:39:01,203 --> 00:39:04,880
The Association of Poets is awarding you.
672
00:39:05,293 --> 00:39:07,870
I haven't told him yet.
673
00:39:08,641 --> 00:39:09,620
Dear.
674
00:39:09,733 --> 00:39:12,864
- The Association will award...
- I have no interest in that.
675
00:39:12,996 --> 00:39:15,300
If they give me something
to eat, I'd reconsider.
676
00:39:17,313 --> 00:39:18,714
Why I told you, Eonni?
677
00:39:18,864 --> 00:39:23,257
I knew he'd react that way,
so I told you first.
678
00:39:26,163 --> 00:39:28,551
Why are you against it?
679
00:39:31,898 --> 00:39:33,312
Dear.
680
00:39:37,742 --> 00:39:42,819
Aigoo, let's go play with Auntie.
681
00:39:50,398 --> 00:39:52,363
Are you really going to refuse it?
682
00:39:52,495 --> 00:39:53,642
Don't care.
683
00:39:55,232 --> 00:39:56,746
What is the reason?
684
00:39:56,934 --> 00:39:59,577
That association was
made up by conservatives.
685
00:39:59,689 --> 00:40:02,813
Why would they ever
award someone like me?
686
00:40:02,954 --> 00:40:04,873
What does it matter?
687
00:40:05,052 --> 00:40:08,042
They're acknowledging your work!
688
00:40:08,211 --> 00:40:10,732
I don't need their approval.
689
00:40:11,117 --> 00:40:13,395
Just out of courtesy...
690
00:40:13,508 --> 00:40:15,850
Give useless awards like that
to people like Park In Hwan!
691
00:40:15,953 --> 00:40:18,041
How can the dead accept an award?
692
00:40:18,182 --> 00:40:21,088
Know why I always hated Park In Hwan?
693
00:40:24,254 --> 00:40:26,097
Go out in Myeongdong and take a look.
694
00:40:26,229 --> 00:40:29,633
See all those alleged scribes
riding the high horse.
695
00:40:30,002 --> 00:40:33,122
All they're worried about is art,
in their putrid nihilism.
696
00:40:33,232 --> 00:40:37,622
All they do is prance around
haberdasheries and put on fancy clothes.
697
00:40:37,849 --> 00:40:40,943
Why do you always need
to speak ill of other people?
698
00:40:41,187 --> 00:40:44,018
Can't you acknowledge others, for once?
699
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:47,695
How can you keep writing
if you ignore reality?
700
00:40:47,780 --> 00:40:49,519
What the hell is this "reality" of yours?
701
00:40:49,689 --> 00:40:51,203
Ideology.
702
00:40:54,653 --> 00:40:56,121
Are you...
703
00:40:57,383 --> 00:41:00,598
still trapped inside that POW camp?
704
00:41:02,744 --> 00:41:04,247
Now...
705
00:41:05,112 --> 00:41:08,300
Now nobody is ever
thinking of you as a commie.
706
00:41:08,403 --> 00:41:09,544
Why do you keep...
707
00:41:10,049 --> 00:41:12,544
That's not the issue.
708
00:41:13,416 --> 00:41:15,381
Then, what is?
709
00:41:15,701 --> 00:41:17,855
This Lee Seung Man dictatorship
is not the issue,
710
00:41:17,939 --> 00:41:20,977
it's the ideology oppressing us
behind it that's the problem.
711
00:41:21,175 --> 00:41:23,215
Without even knowing what ideology is,
712
00:41:23,337 --> 00:41:26,253
and oppressing us by ignoring it,
713
00:41:26,432 --> 00:41:28,501
this life of ours is the real issue.
714
00:41:31,068 --> 00:41:32,328
Dear...
715
00:41:34,190 --> 00:41:36,494
Since you're a poet,
716
00:41:36,964 --> 00:41:39,569
you must be different from the others.
717
00:41:40,444 --> 00:41:43,397
Even what doesn't concern others
in the slightest...
718
00:41:43,548 --> 00:41:46,077
can hurt and bother you, I know that.
719
00:41:46,256 --> 00:41:50,074
That's right.
You're special.
720
00:41:50,620 --> 00:41:51,955
But...
721
00:41:52,256 --> 00:41:55,281
Can't we live a normal life,
at least a bit?
722
00:41:56,786 --> 00:41:58,403
If you don't accept this award,
723
00:41:58,526 --> 00:41:59,682
you'll really become an outcast.
724
00:41:59,842 --> 00:42:02,015
They'll all turn their backs on you.
725
00:42:02,729 --> 00:42:05,179
Then, how are we going to go on living?
726
00:42:05,527 --> 00:42:06,308
Listen.
727
00:42:06,477 --> 00:42:07,728
I myself...
728
00:42:08,386 --> 00:42:11,179
don't want to spend the rest
of my life cleaning chicken shit.
729
00:42:11,866 --> 00:42:17,206
I'm enduring this all to see you
become a great writer.
730
00:42:17,667 --> 00:42:19,153
What ideology is really about...
731
00:42:19,275 --> 00:42:21,287
I know that, I know.
732
00:42:21,475 --> 00:42:25,106
That this damned ideology
is suffocating us all.
733
00:42:25,609 --> 00:42:28,072
But if that's what
our reality is, so what?
734
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,705
If you really can't take it anymore,
735
00:42:31,194 --> 00:42:33,695
go out on the streets of Gwanghwamun
and scream at the four corners.
736
00:42:34,363 --> 00:42:36,834
That this damned anti-communism
is making your life hell,
737
00:42:36,947 --> 00:42:39,194
that being a commie or not
is not the issue,
738
00:42:39,326 --> 00:42:41,150
but that freedom is.
739
00:42:41,658 --> 00:42:44,273
That absolute freedom is what you want.
740
00:42:51,797 --> 00:42:54,402
If you can't even handle that,
741
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,695
let the flames burn you into oblivion.
742
00:43:36,369 --> 00:43:37,432
Dear.
743
00:43:37,742 --> 00:43:39,726
Don't talk to me.
744
00:43:39,905 --> 00:43:42,585
I need to fix this
before letting the rabbits in.
745
00:43:42,933 --> 00:43:48,632
So we'll at least sell some rabbit fur
and get a few briquettes for the winter.
746
00:43:54,416 --> 00:43:55,996
Sorry.
747
00:44:00,858 --> 00:44:02,889
I was just embarrassed.
748
00:44:05,174 --> 00:44:07,958
I have no recent memory
of having written any poem,
749
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,488
but since they're
awarding me for a poem,
750
00:44:10,601 --> 00:44:14,767
I felt as if
they were making fun of me.
751
00:44:16,028 --> 00:44:17,984
Why, what's wrong with your poems?
752
00:44:18,736 --> 00:44:20,532
I always enjoyed them.
753
00:44:21,906 --> 00:44:23,909
"My boy, my child."
754
00:44:24,191 --> 00:44:26,471
"Here are your ten fingers,"
755
00:44:26,913 --> 00:44:29,800
"Moving inside the red socks
your mother made."
756
00:44:30,466 --> 00:44:32,236
"My child, my boy."
757
00:44:32,763 --> 00:44:36,045
"Wound around the nylon of your diaper,"
758
00:44:36,817 --> 00:44:40,019
"For fear of your wetting your pants
is what scares your mother away."
759
00:44:47,427 --> 00:44:49,421
I'm sorry, my dear.
760
00:44:52,197 --> 00:44:53,493
I...
761
00:44:55,994 --> 00:44:58,727
am proud of you.
762
00:45:06,542 --> 00:45:10,284
Stop living as if you had
anything to be embarrassed about.
763
00:45:32,628 --> 00:45:38,700
He would never, ever
write poems the same way,
764
00:45:34,171 --> 00:45:39,503
{\a6}~ Kim Hyun Gyeong ~
(Kim Su Young's wife)
765
00:45:39,070 --> 00:45:42,859
that was his philosophy from the start.
766
00:45:42,963 --> 00:45:51,935
Not to mention the many books
about philosophy that he'd read.
767
00:45:52,101 --> 00:45:55,806
I saw him read Plato
on more than one occasion,
768
00:45:55,956 --> 00:46:00,433
and, starting from there,
he moved onto Nietzsche,
769
00:46:00,545 --> 00:46:08,166
but right before his death,
he read Heigel a lot as well.
770
00:46:08,250 --> 00:46:11,824
No... not Heigel.
Heidegger, I mean.
771
00:46:11,993 --> 00:46:17,082
So we bought one of his anthologies.
772
00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:21,056
He loved his writings so much that,
773
00:46:21,159 --> 00:46:23,907
when we buried him,
774
00:46:25,299 --> 00:46:33,894
I put a copy of Heidegger's
anthology inside the coffin.
775
00:46:39,807 --> 00:46:42,525
After winning the first award handed
out by the Association of Poets,
776
00:46:42,666 --> 00:46:48,234
Kim published his first anthology
in 1959, "The Moon's Jest."
777
00:46:48,413 --> 00:46:52,325
Also, he wrapped the copies
he received instead of his royalties,
778
00:46:52,485 --> 00:46:54,921
carried them on the side,
and went to meet his friends.
779
00:46:58,180 --> 00:47:01,161
Here... Fix your shoes!
780
00:47:01,312 --> 00:47:02,356
We fix shoes.
781
00:47:02,450 --> 00:47:03,757
I'll give you a discount.
782
00:47:03,851 --> 00:47:06,609
Aigoo, Seonsaengnim.
How are you?
783
00:47:08,584 --> 00:47:10,576
Here... Fix your shoes.
784
00:47:10,973 --> 00:47:13,728
I gathered all the new magazines,
care to take them?
785
00:47:14,321 --> 00:47:15,995
Today...
786
00:47:16,173 --> 00:47:18,381
Yes, go ahead, Seonsaengnim.
787
00:47:19,679 --> 00:47:21,240
I wrote this.
788
00:47:21,353 --> 00:47:23,243
Give it a read.
789
00:47:25,576 --> 00:47:27,786
Thank you, Seonsaengnim!
790
00:47:29,566 --> 00:47:30,551
What is this?
791
00:47:30,683 --> 00:47:32,737
Seems like Kim Seonsaengnim wrote it.
792
00:47:32,857 --> 00:47:33,909
Really?
793
00:47:34,388 --> 00:47:37,924
Ahh... It's an anthology, all right!
794
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,707
The Moon's Jest?
795
00:47:43,533 --> 00:47:45,226
This title is funny.
796
00:47:45,339 --> 00:47:48,358
So they jest even on the moon?
797
00:47:59,893 --> 00:48:01,304
Ohh... Su Young!
798
00:48:02,583 --> 00:48:04,219
Long time no see.
799
00:48:02,997 --> 00:48:05,207
{\a6}~ Im Geung Jae (critic) ~
800
00:48:04,708 --> 00:48:06,627
Here... Congrats.
801
00:48:08,893 --> 00:48:11,079
Why are you so stingy?
802
00:48:11,229 --> 00:48:13,721
If you won something,
you should treat us.
803
00:48:14,267 --> 00:48:15,038
Right...
804
00:48:15,198 --> 00:48:16,966
So you published an anthology?
805
00:48:19,768 --> 00:48:21,104
So...
806
00:48:22,895 --> 00:48:24,964
The Moon's Jest?
807
00:48:26,109 --> 00:48:28,378
Sure sounds like something you wrote, uh?
808
00:48:28,500 --> 00:48:30,955
The Moon's Jest!
809
00:48:32,130 --> 00:48:34,523
Right, how's your sister doing?
810
00:48:34,674 --> 00:48:37,930
I'll remind you that she's mine.
811
00:48:38,492 --> 00:48:39,564
Then, so long...
812
00:48:39,667 --> 00:48:41,859
Why? Come on in,
everyone must be there.
813
00:48:41,972 --> 00:48:44,379
- I just came out.
- Really?
814
00:48:45,902 --> 00:48:48,244
The Moon's Jest...
815
00:48:48,837 --> 00:48:51,181
That's quite a title...
816
00:48:54,142 --> 00:48:55,224
Kim Su Young?
817
00:48:55,355 --> 00:48:59,261
He said he just came out,
so I let him go.
818
00:48:59,700 --> 00:49:02,775
Ahh... Shouldn't he
treat us at least once?
819
00:49:05,751 --> 00:49:07,960
His sister is so pretty...
820
00:49:08,101 --> 00:49:11,167
Wonder why he's always so grumpy.
821
00:49:20,184 --> 00:49:21,501
Nice.
822
00:49:22,554 --> 00:49:24,093
Really nice.
823
00:49:24,445 --> 00:49:27,108
It's nothing special.
824
00:49:27,268 --> 00:49:29,158
Why are you so humble?
825
00:49:30,249 --> 00:49:33,315
It's your fierce temper
that makes you charming.
826
00:49:33,747 --> 00:49:34,659
I'm sorry.
827
00:49:34,753 --> 00:49:37,399
Give it a read when you find the time.
828
00:49:37,898 --> 00:49:39,515
Nice job.
829
00:49:40,672 --> 00:49:42,017
Then, if you'll excuse me...
830
00:49:44,500 --> 00:49:46,153
Aren't you going to share those?
831
00:49:46,463 --> 00:49:47,337
What?
832
00:49:47,902 --> 00:49:49,557
Your anthology.
833
00:49:50,281 --> 00:49:51,682
Ahh... Yes?
834
00:49:52,369 --> 00:49:53,827
Just leave it here.
835
00:49:54,015 --> 00:49:58,058
I'll find those who like your prose,
and give them a copy.
836
00:49:58,350 --> 00:49:59,713
Will you do that for me?
837
00:49:59,854 --> 00:50:02,155
The kiddos will like your work.
838
00:50:02,403 --> 00:50:04,152
Since it's so rugged.
839
00:50:04,387 --> 00:50:05,488
Thank you.
840
00:50:20,361 --> 00:50:22,158
Look who's here.
841
00:50:23,126 --> 00:50:25,496
So now you're writing poems, and stuff?
842
00:50:28,064 --> 00:50:30,894
Aren't we past the age
of drunken rampage, Kim-gun?
843
00:50:30,969 --> 00:50:33,217
Ohh, listen. Kim-gun?!
844
00:50:33,621 --> 00:50:37,599
Unless you want to croak like
Park In Hwan, give the bottle a rest.
845
00:50:37,712 --> 00:50:42,480
And I thought I'd compliment
you for finally writing something,
846
00:50:42,603 --> 00:50:45,076
and you start scolding me?
847
00:50:45,998 --> 00:50:49,154
So Kim Gwan Shik
has compliments for me, now?
848
00:51:03,879 --> 00:51:05,895
"A top is spinning."
849
00:51:06,139 --> 00:51:07,879
"Be it a child's or an adult's,"
850
00:51:07,973 --> 00:51:10,222
"Life enthralls me,
I love to watch it."
851
00:51:10,354 --> 00:51:17,718
"And before my eyes wide open,
a child is spinning a top."
852
00:51:19,533 --> 00:51:22,386
"Just as kids playing housekeeping,"
853
00:51:22,490 --> 00:51:25,546
"There is no greater wonder
than a child at play,"
854
00:51:25,659 --> 00:51:29,628
"So much I forget to converse
with the master of the house,"
855
00:51:29,761 --> 00:51:34,631
"Hoping the top
will spin one more time."
856
00:51:37,885 --> 00:51:40,734
"A top is spinning,
a top is spinning."
857
00:51:40,847 --> 00:51:43,991
"A thread wound round the
foot of the top, so peculiar,"
858
00:51:44,101 --> 00:51:47,972
"One held between the fingers,
the top thrown to the floor,"
859
00:51:48,066 --> 00:51:50,887
"And there it spins,
soundless, pale gray."
860
00:51:50,953 --> 00:51:53,999
"A jest played on the moon
I hadn't seen for so long."
861
00:51:54,112 --> 00:51:55,607
"A top is spinning."
862
00:51:55,701 --> 00:51:59,256
"Spinning as tears flow down my face."
863

~ On The Next Episode Of ~
THE COUNT OF MYEONGDONG
869
00:52:25,933 --> 00:52:28,040
My poems are still rubbish.
870
00:52:28,143 --> 00:52:32,065
And the same goes for you.
871
00:52:32,648 --> 00:52:37,379
But... your poems show something.
872
00:52:37,661 --> 00:52:38,818
And what is that?
873
00:52:40,059 --> 00:52:44,028
It's the truth.
They scream out the truth buried inside.
874
00:52:44,874 --> 00:52:47,281
And if I really should
be honest, Kim-gun.
875
00:52:47,667 --> 00:52:50,121
You're a lyrical poet.
876
00:52:51,344 --> 00:52:55,350
Whenever I'm drunk,
my body feels like that of a cat.
877
00:52:55,463 --> 00:52:57,914
That's probably why I didn't get hurt.
878
00:52:58,140 --> 00:53:03,155
If I ever drink again,
I'll come home barking like a dog.
879
00:53:07,025 --> 00:53:09,620
No matter who,
if they want to stay on top,
880
00:53:09,705 --> 00:53:11,520
they'll need anti-communism.
881
00:53:11,746 --> 00:53:14,370
As long as this monster
called anti-communism survives,
882
00:53:14,783 --> 00:53:17,339
common sense and logic
will never be welcome in this land.
883
00:53:17,462 --> 00:53:21,054
In that kind of world,
what freedom could there ever be?
884
00:53:22,944 --> 00:53:25,625
I can't live in this world.
885
00:53:27,677 --> 00:53:29,718
One where nothing is changing,
886
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,507
and nothing can be changed.
887
00:53:34,269 --> 00:53:38,940
