(The 165th story)
Hello.
We're at the studio of My Neighbor, Charles.
Let's step inside.
(Who is this guy that's filming the studio?)
(The guest comes in on his own)
Hello.
- Hello. / - Hello.
- Can you introduce yourselves? / - For this camera?
I'm the host of My Neighbor, Charles.
- I'm Choi Wonjeong. Hello. / - Nice to meet you.
(We've never had an opening like this)
I'm the galaxy star, Hong Seokcheon. Hello.
- Hello. / - Hi, everyone.
I'm everyone's idol, Sayuri.
Hello, I'm an amateur YouTuber. I'm Fabian.
- Nice to meet you. / - Likewise.
I'm Emil and I'm here.
- Hello. / - Hello.
We've never had a guest make an entrance...
- This is the first time. / - Like this.
This was very new.
He's a contents creator.
He uploads video clips on YouTube.
That's why he made a unique entrance.
These days, elementary school kids
all want to become a contents creator
or a YouTuber.
A YouTuber is a single-person creator
that uploads video clips on YouTube.
I shoot, edit
and do everything myself.
(Emil's channel has 300,000 subscribers)
(On the world's biggest online video platform)
(Emil mostly uploads videos)
(Of foreigners reacting to Korean food)
Spot on.
- I personally love tripe. / - It's good.
I'm thoroughly, thoroughly impressed.
Really nice.
(Sea squirt)
Oh, my God!
We're curious about this stuff.
What foreigners think of our food.
And this channel answers our curiosity.
For how long have you been a YouTuber?
For 3.5 years.
- 3.5 years? / - That's a long time.
What did you do in Korea before
becoming a YouTuber?
I was an English teacher.
How did you go from being an English teacher
to a YouTuber?
Being an English teacher is a good job too.
I figured out why Koreans make
mistakes when they speak English.
So I made short YouTube videos
to teach viewers English.
I posted two clips like that.
Then I went to a Korean restaurant
in London with my family.
I made them eat pork belly,
I filmed their reaction and I posted it.
It got a ton of views.
It surpassed one million views in a week.
So that's the direction I went in from then on.
(His videos get millions of views)
Wow...
He has 300,000 subscribers.
- 300,000? / - 300,000...
Are they all Koreans?
Or are there foreigners too?
90% of them are Korean.
Who's that guy next to you?
(He's been here the entire time)
I'm Emil's roommate.
We live together. My name is Kim Dongu.
Nice to meet you.
Do you also work together too?
No.
We just live together.
I coach a soccer team of exchange students
at a university.
You must be really good at English.
No...
These days, foreigners are so good at Korean.
(Two foreigners that are good at Korean)
I speak to them in Korean.
So, how did Emil end up as a YouTuber?
Let's take a look at Emil's life.
(My Neighbor, Charles)
(A YouTuber of 4 years)
(Guro, Seoul)
(Emil always has his camera)
Do you always have your camera?
Yes, always.
(He finds a place to set up his camera)
You need a tripod to shoot by yourself, right?
(Wary)
I'll start here.
Isn't it embarrassing with people around?
It's really embarrassing.
(He starts shooting once the people pass by)
Hi!
Long time no see, everyone.
People might wonder what he's up to
as they pass by.
That could be embarrassing.
He joined my football team recently.
And today, we're going to be eating...
And today, we're going to be eating
spicy chicken stew.
It was really awkward at first.
It still is.
Especially when I film outdoors.
There are people that pass by
and people that stare.
It's a bit embarrassing and awkward to speak then.
(Today's guest arrives)
Good, say hello to the camera.
Hello.
I arrived in Korea like 4 months ago.
I actually love the food.
I can't wait to smash tons.
(Sets up the camera on the table)
So, what we're eating today
is this dish you see here.
This is called spicy chicken stew.
Oh, spicy chicken stew.
It's really hard to say in Korean.
Not "tam." It's "tang."
"Tang."
Actually, there's a lot of controversy
about the name of it.
There's also another name called "Dakdoritang."
When there was Japanese occupation of Korea...
("Dori" means bird in Japanese)
I guess he has to know all those things.
He knows that stuff.
I bet you're always doing research.
I do.
In Korea...
They all know the 3 hottest days of the year
and they all go eat this.
He has to tell the people the facts.
Comfort women were women during World War 2
who were allegedly forced into sexual slavery
by the Japanese army.
Wow! Impressive, Emil.
(He studies Korean culture and history for his show)
- Those must be the comments. / - Yes.
You don't just do food.
- You talk about history... / - All sorts of stuff.
Yes.
(Their food arrives)
Spicy chicken stew, hard to pronounce in Korean.
Not until everything is on the table
and I got my close-ups.
(This is torture)
I bet it is for the friend.
He has to wait until Emil finishes filming.
I want to get you picking up a piece of chicken.
This isn't easy.
You should eat the food as soon as you get it.
But Emil has to film it first.
(They finally taste the spicy chicken stew)
(Yum)
Did your friend like the spicy chicken stew?
- He did. / - It wasn't too spicy for him?
I guess not.
(These two British guys really enjoy the food)
Perfect spiciness.
The broth on the bottom is so amazing.
(Emil is done filming)
I'm never seen anything like that in England.
You just see people eating in everything.
It's so common.
I see it all the time on TV.
It's just a different culture in Korea.
They don't have eating shows in the UK?
- We don't. / - I bet.
We use the word "mukbang" in France too.
- When you eat a lot. / - I heard.
We pronounce it "mukbang."
- "Mukbang." / - "Mukbang."
(The life of an internet star)
(Emil and Dongu's place)
Are we going to see Dongu now?
Where is Dongu?
There he is.
- That's what we air. / - I must be crazy.
(What does he check as soon as he wakes up?)
(64,000 views)
He's checking the views.
Just like how we check the viewer ratings.
I always check the viewer ratings for this show
on Wednesday mornings.
- That's how I sleep. / - Like that?
Isn't that uncomfortable?
I bet you muscles get sore.
Right. I don't get how he sleeps like that.
(Washing up)
(Shaving)
Wake up!
(The star gets ready for work)
- I'm out. / - Later. When are you coming back?
- Me? / - When are you coming back?
- Probably tomorrow. / - Tomorrow?
Alright.
(Emil goes to work in his room)
You have to be diligent when you work alone.
Should I do it now or later?
I'm constantly at war with myself.
The first battle is waking up.
I have to get myself out of bed first
to work hard that day.
(Goes right into editing)
People like us would be too lazy to do that.
- You shoot and edit it yourself? / - Yes.
I hate this part.
British people hate reading subtitles.
They're distracting.
We hate subtitles and captions.
Really?
French shows don't use them either.
I wouldn't need to make subtitles
if I was a YouTuber in London.
But Koreans grow up watching
shows with subtitles.
No subtitles make them uncomfortable.
(Ding-dong)
I really like subtitles.
As someone that has to edit them...
- I hate them. / - I bet.
(Who is this?)
(Food delivery arrives)
You eat only delivery food.
That's not very healthy.
(He has lunch alone in front of his computer)
I don't have time and editing is stressful.
So I just order delivery.
That's why your skin broke out.
(This YouTuber is used to eating alone)
Eating that junk food late at night...
It's very lonely.
Very lonely.
Being a YouTuber is a lonely job.
I'm always working at home alone,
so it's really lonely.
(Emil works alone all day)
I'll come home sooner.
(Cracking up while editing)
- Are you laughing at your own video? / - Yes.
(He's suddenly excited)
(Back to being serious)
This is kind of sad.
This is my actual life that people don't get to see.
(Emil is still editing late at night)
I can't stop working.
I have to keep editing.
I have to work on this.
I have no weekends. This job never ends.
How many clips do you post a week?
- These days, I post 3 a week. / - 3?
I'll be posting 7 times a week for a year.
- 1 clip a day? / - That was last year.
I did that for a year. It almost killed me.
(He slept for only 2 hours a day for 1 year)
I bet you were super busy.
It almost killed me.
I couldn't meet my friends unless I was filming.
It was so lonely and I barely slept.
And I cried from time to time for no reason.
Your face has changed a lot since you...
- First stared your channel. / - Yes.
(3 years ago, now)
I guess it was really hard on you.
You used to wear suits.
Now you just wear sweats.
(Why does Emil work so hard on this?)
My goal is to get 1 million subscribers.
So that's his goal.
I still have a long way to go.
He has plenty now.
It's not for the money.
I just want to be acknowledged.
That's why I have to work harder than others.
(Living with Dongu)
He's sleeping again.
Are you always sleeping?
He's like a cat.
I think it's edited like to make me look bad.
He's like Snorlax.
(The apartment is very messy)
Socks.
(A big pile of stuff in the corner of his room)
Is that all laundry?
We never clean our place.
I expected guys in their 20s to be messy...
But this is pretty bad.
- It's a big clutter. / - There's a laundry basket?
Yes, this is the laundry basket.
(Why is this so surprising?)
You didn't know?
Once this starts overflowing,
I have to do the laundry.
I wash my pants once a month.
Emil...
This is so disappointing.
You're a very dirty guy.
I'm just being honest.
This is how I really live.
(He has shoes in his room?)
My sneakers were here.
- Those are shoes? / - Yes.
I bet these stink.
(They smell terrible)
What did that smell like?
What will we do about these guys?
This all has to be washed.
Just throw them out and buy new clothes.
I bet they're rotten.
There was a pool party.
I wore this at a pool party a month and a half ago.
So it was wet...
And it hasn't been washed in a month and a half.
I forgot about it.
It was in here, so I forgot.
Why is he so proud about that?
It smells kind of weird.
The staff usually doesn't say stuff like that.
I don't have a girlfriend.
Nobody really cares.
So I just live like this.
Honestly, guys in their 20s
become like this when they live alone.
Girls and guys are the same. I'm like that too.
I've been living alone for more than 10 years,
but I've never been like that.
(What does that make Sayuri?)
(This is just too much)
(Now he cleans up the clutter)
It's a bit too big.
(Lifts)
This is what I have to do.
Nobody's going to see these.
And there's plenty of space under here.
(If you can't see it, it's clean)
That's relatable.
Stuffing things under your bed.
- Look at that dust. / - So much dust...
I thought it snowed in there.
It gets dusty again so fast.
It's a hassle to clean.
That's bad for your health. Gosh...
You might develop asthma.
It's better to live with dust.
Nice.
- Happy now? / - Yes, very.
I feel like cleaning is therapeutic.
(He laughs at what he just said)
You're just throwing comments out there.
Can you take out the trash?
Let me rest while you clean.
How do you split up the cleaning?
(Hesitates)
We just don't clean.
So that's the problem.
Help me!
I don't want to.
(Fine then)
(Dongu attacks)
You're going to crush me.
You two are close.
(Emil and Dongu first met in a soccer club)
- I gained a lot of weight. / - You really did.
You look like a different person there.
I gained around 25kg.
(They promised to make money and live together)
(They started living together after 3 years)
If you don't have human interaction
you become strange.
That's why I wanted a roommate.
Emil.
Come eat some chicken.
You like chicken?
- Dongu eats a lot. / - Chicken is delicious.
I found a hair.
(Removes the hair)
You're still going to eat it after finding a hair?
It happens.
We've only fought once.
Dongu used up the chicken coupons I saved up.
It took forever to save those up.
And he used them all.
He had this serious face.
He went into his room and then he texted me.
What did he say?
That he's really angry.
You were seriously angry?
Yes, I was...
Did Emil pay for this?
This?
Didn't you pay for this?
No. Look at the fridge.
(Empty)
(What happened to all the coupons?)
Did he use up all those coupons?
My gosh...
Come on!
Just because the staff is around.
He's really angry right now.
This face means he's really angry.
They're here.
(Ta-da)
- It was a prank. / - Just a prank.
I was about to kill you.
He cherishes these coupons more than his camera.
They're precious to me.
You like chicken that much?
Yes, I have it all the time.
(It's peaceful again after finding the coupons)
Why are you so hung up on chicken coupons?
They're not worth that much.
It's not about the money.
You need to collect 10 to use the coupons.
So it's a big deal to use those coupons
after eating 10 chickens.
That's true.
Stealing those coupons is unforgivable.
I'll buy you 100 chickens later.
Even though they're close, it's hard to live together.
Right.
How did you end up living together?
We come from similar backgrounds.
He told me this a while ago.
Both of us don't have fathers anymore.
Emil said he'd be my big brother.
- How nice. / - Back then...
I wanted to act like a tough guy,
but I didn't feel like that inside.
We made a connection then.
And we promised that
whoever was making more would pay more
and that we should live together in 2 or 3 years.
That's how we ended up living together.
Very loyal.
I'm always thankful for him.
I'll be like a father to you two guys.
No, no.
A father like this wouldn't be so bad.
I'll be your mother.
(No, thank you)
(Emil gets a visitor!)
Who came on a plane?
(Incheon International Airport)
I wonder who came.
Waiting at the airport is exciting.
His mother!
(It's Emil's mother)
I bet he was thrilled that she came.
(It's my son)
(Reuniting after 1.5 years)
It's been a while.
In 1.5 years. It's been so long.
Do you visit London often?
No, I don't.
She's already in tears.
Gosh...
I haven't seen you since last year!
They look alike.
Stop crying!
She's embarrassing me in the airport.
They're all watching.
I've been so excited about this trip.
- Welcome back to Korea, mom. / - Thank you.
Didn't your mom complain that you were filming her
when you haven't seen her in 1.5 years?
She's used to it now.
Your mother is a YouTuber too?
No, but she's been on my channel a lot.
(His mother is on his channel a lot)
His mom was featured a lot.
(They eat on camera together)
She's adorable.
(You're a really good son)
(Your mother puts me in a good mood)
(His mom wants to see where he lives)
My mom is here.
- You have to take your shoes off. / - Right.
- Donny! / - You don't remove your shoes in the UK?
Donny...
- Long time no see. / - How have you been?
- Hello. / - Interpret for me.
- I remember him. / - She remembers you.
So this is it.
Yeah, this is the apartment.
- It's a good size. / - Yeah.
It's a bit messy!
Of course she'd think that.
There are two guys living here.
- It's a real bachelor pad, isn't it? / - Yes.
I bet she was shocked.
(His mom checks out his room)
Emil.
Have you heard about...
What is this?
I don't look at the dust. That doesn't bother me.
You should've cleaned your place for your mom.
How can you work with a clean mind
when you've got this dirt?
I'll clean up.
Start cleaning now.
Not our fridge!
(Blocking the fridge)
(It's no use, Donny)
Donny!
- I don't do much cooking. / - Oh, God!
Why?
- The smell! / - Sorry.
There was a lot of old food in there.
(The smell is from these moldy rice cakes)
Rice cakes?
Those aren't cucumbers?
You will get very ill.
(Embarrassed)
Is your mom here to check our cleaning?
Okay... Emil.
(She sees a mess wherever she goes)
It was Dongu.
It wasn't me!
It was originally like that.
Was it?
Yeah.
Okay, but they're boys...
So we can't expect too much.
What are you making?
Americano.
Foreigners like coffee.
This is all we have to offer her.
Koreans hate coffee.
Koreans drink even more coffee.
Making her coffee at 9 p.m.
I haven't seen my mom in 1.5 years.
I invited her over.
So I got to see her and film with her.
We also went to Jeju-do.
I planned on making it a great trip for her.
- You went to Jeju-do with your mom? / - Yes.
(With the camera)
Yeah, he always has his camera.
I have to post 3 times a week.
That's why I always have it.
(Emil rented a car for the trip)
You aren't driving, Emil?
No. My mom will drive.
Why?
I only have my British license.
So the mother is driving
because the son doesn't have a license?
I have one,
but it can't be used in Korea.
It's not an international license.
But your mother can drive in Korea?
She signed up for a license before coming to Korea.
I'm still a little bit nervous. Still a little bit.
I just have to drive very, very carefully.
- Is your mother a good driver? / - No.
- She's a terrible driver. / - It's the opposite in the UK.
That should be hard for her.
We'll drive slowly.
(How will their trip go?)
Am I allowed to turn left?
No, I have to stop here and wait to go left, yes?
Emil, tell me when I'm too close to the cars.
I'm nervous just watching this.
(She almost drove into the wrong lane)
- See? / - You drive on the opposite side in the UK.
- It's the opposite... / - So it's hard.
She really struggled.
- It's hard to drive in Korea. / - Yes.
Wow, so pretty.
Jeju-do always looks nice.
(Emil wants to ride an electric car)
(Emil's British driver's license)
There are many electric cars these days.
My mom has an international license.
- Your mother does? / - Yes.
Then she can drive one.
We'll teach her.
His mother... So cute.
I was going to drive it,
but it was more fun with my mom driving.
Does your mother like being active?
No.
That's why it was fun.
(Emil is excitedly filming)
It's funny since my mom is learning this.
He makes his mom struggle and then he films it.
(Will they be alright?)
(She's driving slower than people walking)
Slowly like a turtle.
She's slower than the people walking.
Safety first.
You're doing well, mom.
(The bike starts wobbling)
Oh, no...
(She manages to park)
Are you alright?
He was filming all that.
I thought I was going to die.
Yes, it's a lot of fun.
That's because I'm alive!
(Seobinbaeksa Beach, Udo, Jeju-do)
This place was beautiful.
- A beach. / - Udo is beautiful.
And this is like a really famous beach in Udo
because of the white sands that you get here.
(At the beach with his camera)
(Mom, are you ready?)
(Emil is such a playful son)
The sea is nice.
It's so pretty.
- Who's that? / - He was like that the whole time.
Who is that? Your friend?
It's some guy I don't know.
(His mother is a master at swimming)
(Emil and his mom have a nice time together)
It's so nice seeing him spend time with his mom.
I bet he got some good footage.
I want to take that camera out of his hand.
(Emil's mother watches him)
I wish I could stop filming sometimes too.
I'm getting used to it now.
It's been about 3 years.
When he first started doing it, it was really strange.
And then he came home from Korea
and he brought his camera with him into our house.
And we get up in the morning,
there's Emil with his camera.
Filming, filming, filming all the time. It was horrible.
But now, you get used to it.
You stop caring after a while.
Does your mother watch your clips from the UK?
- All of them. / - Of course.
She's trying to get used to her son's job.
- Wow, that place looks nice. / - So pretty.
- Is this also Jeju-do? / - Yes.
I've been there too.
- I'm inside the waterfall. / - It's really nice.
It's amazing!
(Emil's mother just watches him)
Because it's lovely to watch your children.
Even when they grow up, it's lovely.
Watching Emil's videos
makes me feel like I see him every day.
And I felt like I was never apart from him.
(Your mother is your last subscriber)
(It's time to film some eating for this trip)
(They need a camera for this)
(Sleepy)
(They're having black pork)
Black pork.
Traditionally black pig was actually used
to get rid of people's waste.
They put them under the toilets
and everybody does their business...
- He knows so much. / - It's special in Korea...
and I discovered how amazing they are.
(He's the king of explaining)
(Golden brown)
It tastes great dipped in that fish sauce.
That looks good.
Are you ready?
Okay, go for it.
(A smile appears on her face)
(So elegant when she expresses herself)
It's out of this world.
I told you! I told you!
How do they do that? How do they do it?
It's crazy, huh?
(They keep eating)
She's really enjoying the food.
(They smile automatically)
You should pay your mother for being in your videos.
Wow, that looks great.
- Jeju-do black pig is delicious. / - It's the best.
Flavors keep coming through.
Just think how much and then more
and more and more!
If I come to Jeju-do, I get to eat black big here.
I'm glad we could share it together.
- You're never ever going to forget this. / - Never.
(Emil is finished filming)
Do you not get exhausted from it?
I have to say, after a week...
There's a side of me that gets exhausted.
(Emil filmed for the entire trip)
It's a lot of hard work.
You can't relax when you're taking time off
because you feel guilty.
It doesn't become relaxation time.
It becomes guilt time.
I'm like, "What am I doing? Why am I doing this?
I should be working."
So that's how you feel?
Last year, we had two weeks traveling together,
which I filmed for YouTube.
And at that time, we were filming every day
and then I was editing all night
and sleeping like one hour and then filming again.
And after we finished, I was editing all the videos
and I realized how amazing it was.
When I was editing the final episode, I started crying
because I felt really sorry to you.
If you regret it, you'd be fooling yourself.
You've made me feel so important.
So if I don't let you know that
you're going to be upset because you'll think
I'm disappointed. I didn't disappoint.
So thanks.
You made me a really happy mother.
What a great mother.
Mom! Now you made me cry!
She's making me cry too.
Thank you for coming, mom.
(They haven't had a serious talk in over a year)
It's funny how British people cry in that position.
All I want for you...
Is to be happy and to be healthy.
And you don't have to be in England to do that.
I am your biggest fan.
Of course.
The greatest fan.
The best fan.
I never imagined that he would be
in a different country.
But it's not that bad, if you see what I mean.
Because you're happy for your children.
As parents, you are the bow
and the child is the arrow.
So you have to let go.
Your mother is such a great speaker.
(Moved)
"Parents are the bow and children are the arrows."
- Right... / - That's so nice.
Even though that child might be a troublemaker.
But the parents keep pulling on that bow
so their children can fly.
You cried a lot, Emil.
Yes... It was really embarrassing.
Did you get choked up a lot since
you haven't seen your mother in a while?
Well...
I got to tell her all the things I didn't get to tell her.
So I couldn't help crying.
Being a good child isn't that hard.
Just talking with your mother
and traveling with her...
Making nice memories is the best thing you could do.
I need to step my game up.
Do you have siblings?
I have an older brother and a younger brother.
Your mom raised all 3 of you guys by herself?
- Yes. / - That's amazing.
How about a video message for your loving mother?
I know it must've been difficult to raise us
and you always did it with a smile on your face
and did your best.
So thank you very much for that and I love you.
(She raised 3 boys all by herself)
(And she raised them with love)
(Thank you)
(Going on a new path)
Going on a new path.
(Niklas Klabunde, TV personal and Emil's friend)
(Why did these two meet up?)
I'm tired of my content at the moment.
(Reading comments from subscribers)
(This is a fun channel, but it's mostly the same stuff)
(That's why you're not getting more subscribers)
I think it started around 5 years ago.
Other YouTubers have been doing this for 5 years.
So I'm not doing anything new.
I guess viewers are getting sick of that.
If I want my channel to get bigger,
I need to make new content.
- Just like TV. / - It's the same.
It can't always be the same.
I know it sounds really stupid...
But like a guy who thinks he's a dog.
- What? / - What?
Pretending to be a dog?
Why?
(He really wants to do this?)
He really gave this a lot of thought.
(Why is he making this?)
I watch a lot of weird clips on YouTube.
And I've always wanted to make one too.
But I wasn't confident in myself.
So I'm just going to go for it this time
and see how it goes.
(Going right into shooting)
It was really ridiculous.
Are you acting now?
Yes.
Did you eat dog food?
(Scratch, scratch)
It's cereal.
What is this?
Why are you doing this?
Are you drunk?
Gosh...
- My face is starting to feel hot. / - Me too.
(Emil is also embarrassed)
This is embarrassing to do at home.
What if he did that outside?
Yes, this is embarrassing even at home.
(He tries his best till the end)
I'm sorry about this.
(After the shoot ends)
I want to introduce you to Bob.
He lives in Seoul and he's 26 years old.
I did the dubbing.
Really?
- He thinks he's a dog. / - You have a nice voice.
- That had no feeling. / - What should I do then?
Try to sound more interested in Bob.
With the dubbing, it might seem a bit different.
Dongu, you're playing an important role.
Try to sound sleazier.
Make your voice deeper.
I want to introduce you to Bob.
He lives in Seoul and he's 26 years old.
(That's how "Bob the Dog" was made)
I want to introduce you to Bob.
He lives in Seoul and he's 26 years old.
Nice voice.
He thinks he's a dog.
So...
(Emil is so serious about his acting)
You want to eat that?
Oh, Bob. You must've been hungry.
It's a very special day
when Bob gets a visitor.
Are we supposed laugh or cry?
This is what happens when you've been
a YouTuber for too long.
Is this supposed to be sad or funny?
- It's not bad. / - Yeah?
You were like a real dog.
It wouldn't be funny if some weirdo did this.
It's funny when a serious-looking person does this.
I bet people will be shocked.
It's good to try out a bunch of stuff.
It wasn't bad.
(Really?)
It really makes you think.
(You have a new message)
Another friend is giving me feedback.
(It doesn't suit Emil's style of video)
(Acting like a dog just seems weird)
(It's really unnatural)
"Really unnatural."
Wow, what an honest friend.
(Koreans won't like this at all)
Koreans won't like it.
(Serious)
When I make a video, it's like my baby.
So when the feedback is negative,
it's hurtful.
But this is still important.
Other people can catch things you miss.
That's true. You need someone objective.
(It's hard to be a YouTuber in Korea)
Emil's concern is understandable.
A lot of foreigners have made videos
about Korean culture.
So his stuff could seem a bit played out.
I bet you feel pressured.
Yes. Always.
I have this YouTuber friend in France.
He's really famous. He goes by Squeezie.
- He has over 10 million subscribers. / - That's a lot.
He says he always feels pressured.
Even when he tries to sleep,
he thinks about what to post on YouTube.
And he talks about that with his friends all that time.
- All day? / - So his life might seem extravagant...
Because he's so popular,
but he's lonely and he always feels pressured.
Emil mentioned that each video is like his child.
But some children can be troublemakers.
Only one child really makes you money.
- That's true. / - Right?
How about just sticking to one theme?
I could keep things the same.
It would get a lot of views and
I'd make some decent money.
But that won't help me grow that much.
So if I did the same stuff, I wouldn't be happy.
(Finding a mentor)
- A mentor? / - A mentor?
(Emil and his brother, Floyd, are in the kitchen)
(His younger brother is visiting on vacation)
- That's my younger brother. / - Really?
- Is he a chef? / - He's a chef?
Yes, he's a very successful chef.
(Where are they off to?)
(Ansan, Gyeonggi-do)
(Who is Emil here to see?)
(Shin Donghun, YouTuber of 11 years)
I think he was on "Infinite Challenge."
(Eating spicy rice cakes with passion)
So spicy!
- He's very famous. / - Right.
- He's popular. / - I'll crush it!
He's the Korean YouTuber I most respect.
He's always coming up with great ideas.
- As a creator, he's a genius. / - He's famous.
And I like weird stuff.
He's the best at making videos like that.
Do you know why I'm here today?
Right... My studio isn't that nice.
What can I do for you?
- My younger brother is a chef. / - He's a chef?
He's going to take a look in your fridge
and make you a delicious dish
with what he finds.
- From my fridge? / - Yes.
(He thinks about it)
I don't think it's possible.
My refrigerator is beautiful.
I'm a Korean food YouTuber...
So, there are many delicious items in here.
But...
I love you.
(Donghun reveals his fridge)
(It's pretty full)
This should be fun.
Shin Donghun's fridge...
What is this?
I had pork hocks last night.
Can you use this too?
(Nope)
This is English.
English?
It's just bread.
(They find some shrimp)
That stuff is expensive, so tell him not to use it all.
(The ingredients have been chosen)
He does an eating show,
so he had a lot of ingredients in his fridge.
There are a lot of good ingredients.
(Emil dreamed of working with Donghun)
(His brother, Floyd, starts cooking)
What are your feelings so far?
How do you feel right now?
It's been a while since someone cooked for me.
I'm overwhelmed. Very emotional.
(He's so funny)
(Avocado and tuna roll)
Made by his brother.
That looks great.
- Fresh pasta. / - Appetizer?
(Moved)
My first appetizer!
We'll show you how he does his show.
(He always wears a black glove)
(What is it for?)
Dark hand of desire.
That's how he eats on his channel.
- Really? / - Yes.
First, I'll try it with my hand.
What a waste.
(Primal eating)
Floyd!
(Dying of laughter)
(Now he tries the French pasta)
(How does it taste?)
Hey!
Zinedine Zidane!
(He tastes France in the pasta)
Thierry Henry!
(Saying anything he knows about France)
All the French names he knows.
Why did you come here?
Illegally. Illegally.
Can this be aired on TV though?
- Why not? / - I was so disgusting when I ate.
I have a question.
Aren't you embarrassed to eat like that?
I try to forget about my other emotions.
I just focus on the food when I eat.
I love weird video clips.
I actually made one recently.
Wife?
I made one.
I made one and it was really embarrassing.
Right, right.
(He plays his video for his mentor, Donghun)
- I can't wait to see this. / - What will he say?
(Embarrassed)
- Were you embarrassed? / - Did you upload this?
Not yet.
It's a good thing you didn't.
What a relief.
You seem insane.
You seem like you're holding back a lot.
Yes, I'm always holding back.
This is very different from your usual videos.
You did a great job though.
I've always wanted to make a weird clip.
I just wasn't brave enough.
(Sigh of relief)
I think you should show this to your subscribers.
- It's very well-made. / - Really?
If this is your true self...
I think I'd...
You shouldn't post this right away.
Start with something a bit tamer
and then get weirder from there.
This is very different from what I usually do.
I think people will be shocked if I post this.
From your videos, you seem like a nice guy.
Right.
I think that nice guy image combined
with weirdness is a good idea.
Is that possible for me?
If you want to try something new,
you have to let go of certain things.
He didn't post that video he made
because he was worried.
He has his subscribers.
He has to be confident in his work.
(Thinking)
Didn't that sound pretty cool?
I think it did.
(He's proud of his own advice)
He's the guy I respect the most.
And he laughed at my first weird video.
That made me so happy.
This was a very important day for me as a YouTuber.
Thank you so much for being on the show.
I was honored.
I'm the one that was honored.
(Let's go, Emil)
Did you learn a lot from him?
He was very helpful.
It's hard to meet other YouTubers.
We all have different schedules...
- And we're all rivals. / - Rivals?
We're prideful. "I'm better than this guy.
Why do I have to work with him?"
Some people are like that.
So we don't meet up that often.
But I was able to meet him
and get some great advice.
It was very precious to me. It was great.
We talked about a lot of ideas for YouTube videos...
- Before the shoot started. / - Right.
If you have a good idea that we can't do
but Emil can, let him know.
No, if I have a good idea, I'll make a video.
We want to be YouTubers too.
Sorry, Emil.
Just stick to TV.
Was it helpful at all being on the show?
I work so hard that
I have no time for myself.
Things are so chaotic
that I lose sight of myself.
I saw a clip of my life
filmed by someone else.
So I learned a lot from that.
After watching Emil,
I feel like I have to work harder at life.
And you should stop stealing his chicken coupons.
I'll never use his chicken coupons.
Emil provides entertainment
and laughs for many people.
We had fun taking a look at his life.
- It was fun. / - Yes.
And I hope you guys stay good friends forever.
So that's the end of our show for today.
- Good-bye, everyone. / - Good-bye!
Bye-bye!
I'm not sure about this.
Oh, boy...
- I feel like I'm going to die. / - Are you nervous?
Yes, please save me.
