Brother, Am I Cute? [EN]: Chapter 458

Hyung, am I cute? Hyung, am I cute? Extra – Episode 33 (2)

I’m picking out clothes to wear on the show.

For Siha’s outfit, I chose the clothes he wore on Culture Day.

Overalls with a newsboy cap and a crossbody bag.

I was thinking of wearing a suit, but since we’re appearing as brothers, it would be weird if only one of us dressed up, so I decided to wear something comfortable.

But I couldn’t wear overalls, so I picked a casual outfit that was easy to wear.

It’s not just the clothes that are the problem.

I have to put a lot of effort into my hair too.

Siha, since you’re wearing a hat, you don’t need a big setup.

“Shall we go now?”

“Yeah.”

We left the house and arrived at the broadcasting station set.

Siha and I were looking around, wide-eyed with amazement.

Writer Park Min-ha smiles and hands us bottled water.

“Please take good care of us today.”

“Yes. Please take good care of us.”

“Don’t be too nervous and just have a comfortable conversation. We’ll take care of the editing. Well, you’ve been in front of people often, so you’re not nervous, right?”

“Haha. I’m a little nervous because it’s a place to talk about my story.”

Since I’m mainly in the position of delivering as an interpreter, it feels awkward to talk about my own stories.

And it’s going on TV.

I wonder if Siha is nervous.

Writer Park Min-ha had the same question as me and asked Siha.

“Siha, are you nervous?”

“No. I’m okay because I have Hyung.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes! Uncle told me to prepare a personal talent and taught me, so I’m okay too.”

“Oh. Uncle?!”

Writer Park Min-ha’s eyes twinkled.

I had a feeling when I saw those eyes. Ah, this is something they’ll put on the air.

I know because I’ve been on interviews and broadcasts with Director Go Dong-soo and the actors.

Whether it’s in the United States, England, or Korea, the writers’ expressions of, ‘Oh, should I put this on the air?’ are universal.

Siha, do you really have to do a personal talent?

“Edit it out a little.”

“Si-hyuk, you haven’t even filmed it yet, what editing are you talking about? And I’m not the one who does the editing.”

“Please speak for me.”

“Yes. I’ll say it well.”

Looking at her expression, it was clear she would edit it in a fun way.

I think I’ve been caught from the beginning.

“Hyung, it’ll be fun if we do it together, right?”

“Yeah. It’ll be a lot of fun.”

Siha is just happy if he can film a show with me.

Well, what does he know about broadcasting?

Come to think of it, isn’t this the first time we’ve done a variety show like this?

Is this a variety show debut?

We’ve been on talk shows together, but that was in America.

We weren’t the main focus either.

“When it’s time, the staff will tell you to come out. Just follow the instructions.”

“Yes. I understand. Thank you.”

“Yes! I understand! Thank you!”

Siha answers, following my lead.

Writer Park Min-ha smiles as if she’s dying because Siha is so cute.

Siha is a bit cute.

Especially the way he imitates me makes me smile.

Don’t other kids imitate their moms and dads?

Everyone has such cute childhood moments.

Writer Park Min-ha says goodbye and leaves.

Siha sits on the chair and struggles to turn the cap of the bottled water.

I gently grabbed it and opened it for him.

“Hyung, you’re strong.”

“Siha’s hands are slippery, so he couldn’t open it.”

“No. Hyung is strong.”

“As strong as Baek Dong hyung?”

“No. Baek Dong hyung is the strongest in the world. He can destroy the Earth.”

If he’s strong enough to destroy the Earth, shouldn’t we stop treating him as a human?

Well, I haven’t been treating him as a human anyway.

Rather, he was closer to a superhuman.

He’s muscular, has a big build, and has thick bones, so he looks even more imposing.

I always think that I can’t imagine Baek Dong-hwan as a voice actor.

“It’s time to come out now.”

“Yes.”

I got up from my seat following the staff’s instructions.

When I looked ahead, two MCs [Master of Ceremonies, hosts] were calling us.

“Today’s guests, please come out.”

I took Siha’s hand and entered the set.

Clap clap clap.

The two MCs applaud and welcome us.

They have very surprised expressions, but I don’t know if they didn’t hear about it in advance or if it’s acting.

Since there’s a cue card, I think they heard about it in advance.

The main MC said.

“Wow. Lee Si-hyuk and Lee Si-ha. It’s been a long time.”

The assistant MC next to him asked, as if he was wondering.

“Oh? Have you ever been on a program together?”

“No. This is my first time meeting you.”

“But why do you say it’s been a long time?”

“I’ve seen you a lot on Ilgaemi [a fictional platform, likely similar to a social media or streaming site] and YouTube. Why?”

Siha looked at the main MC and said this.

“Hello. It’s been a long time.”

The assistant MC had another questioning look.

“Lee Si-ha, have you ever seen this place before? Like, did you get an autograph or something?”

“No. I’ve seen you a lot on TV. Uncle always watches variety shows, and this Kim Yu-han ajusshi [a Korean term for ‘mister’ or ‘uncle,’ used for older men] always comes out.”

“Sigh.”

The assistant MC looked at Kim Yu-han, tilting his head.

He felt like he had been hit with the same words as the main MC.

“Don’t you know me? If you watch a lot of variety shows, you’ve probably seen this program.”

“I don’t know.”

“Why not! Haven’t you seen this program?”

“I saw it.”

“But why do you say you don’t know me? Was I the only one edited out?”

“The kids who come out here all say they don’t know you.”

Kim Yu-han MC laughed at that.

It meant that Lee Si-ha was pointing out that all the children who appeared on this program answered that they didn’t know the assistant MC.

To be honest, I was impressed.

“Wow. Siha speaks so well. Today’s talk is no joke. Rather, the hyung’s [older brother] talk is not working at all?”

“Ah. I’m being quiet to keep the balance.”

“Ah ah. Hahaha.”

The start is very good.

Thanks to Siha, there’s no need to worry about the fun of the show already.

Following that, we had a talk about our recent activities.

“Actually, Ilgaemi has received a lot of awards. And Si-hyuk has done a lot of interpreting at award ceremonies and interviews.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“You were very popular, almost to the point where you created famous quotes and produced a lot of content on YouTube.”

“It wasn’t to the point where that much content was produced, but it was a little bit.”

“Yes. A little bit.”

When I put my index finger and thumb together, Kim Yu-han laughed and followed me.

Seeing him catch even these small things and create something made me think that he was indeed extraordinary.

“The famous quote, ‘I don’t know why it’s such a big deal that an interpreter is good at interpreting.'”

“Ahahaha.”

Thinking about that time makes me very embarrassed.

“Actually, I think you’ve received quite a few offers to appear on TV in Korea.”

“Yes. I did receive offers, but I refused.”

“Why?”

“At that time, Siha was young, and I was a little burdened by too much attention. I’m just an ordinary person who is an interpreter, and I was lucky enough to work as an interpreter for Ilgaemi and became popular.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Actually, that’s how it is. I was just doing my job, but I became popular like a YouTuber, so I was very embarrassed. So I think I waited for it to subside.”

“Wow. You’re in your 20s.”

“Yes. I’m in my 20s.”

“It wouldn’t have been easy to do that when you’re young and popular. There’s also a saying that you should row when the water comes in.”

“Yes, but I can’t get swept away by the current. I thought that period was a good time to get swept away, so I waited for the sea to calm down to sail again.”

“Kuh.”

Kim Yu-han raised his thumb.

I wondered what it was and looked around.

“Wow. Waited for the sea to calm down to sail again. It sounded like a poet.”

“Hahaha. No.”

It was really nothing special, but seeing him praise me like this, I think he’s good at creating a broadcast angle.

This part will be broadcast without being edited.

Is this the quality of a great MC?

“Oh? What are you doing?”

Kim Yu-han says, looking at the assistant MC.

“Ah. I was taking notes. I’m going to use this saying later.”

Then Siha said.

“Ajusshi, don’t you have to wait for it to calm down?”

“Ahem.”

“You’ve been quiet all the time.”

“Ugh.”

Kim Yu-han burst out laughing at Siha’s words and clapped like a seal.

Fact 폭 [Fact Bomb] Siha came out.

It was to the point where I was hurt because he said too much truth.

“Only Kim Yu-han ajusshi keeps talking.”

“No. I also have a role to play, like jumping in and doing things. Watch carefully how I’m going to jump in from now on.”

“Okay~”

Unexpectedly, the two people’s tiki-taka [a term for quick, playful banter] is also good.

When Siha stared intently, the assistant MC barely threw a question at me.

“Uncle didn’t come out here. If you have anything to say to your uncle?”

“Suddenly?”

“Ah, yes.”

“It’s natural that he doesn’t come out here because it’s a brother and sister program.”

“Yes. Well. Still, wouldn’t you have something to say to your uncle?”

Kim Yu-han shakes his head next to me.

It was a really random question, but I said a word to my uncle.

“Oh. Uncle, we’re doing well here. It would have been nice if we came out together. Let’s eat something delicious after it’s over.”

“Maybe. Can Siha say something too?”

“Uncle, I’m on TV. I’m glad you can see me even on TV now.”

Kim Yu-han burst out laughing at Siha’s words.

As if it was an unexpected word. I also burst out laughing at Siha’s words.

I wondered what my uncle’s expression would be when he heard those words.

I thought I should definitely film my uncle’s face when it airs later.

“Let’s move on to the next question.”

Now it was a question for Siha.

“Siha, wasn’t it hard when you were filming Ilgaemi?”

“I was okay because I had Hyung. We filmed it quickly.”

“Okay~”

We briefly talked about Ilgaemi and moved on to recent updates.

“Siha has been a hot topic recently. He drew very well on the piano on Culture Day.”

“Yes.”

“Even I was amazed when I saw it. Do you have a reason for drawing this? No, is there a reason behind it?”

“I just drew what I learned.”

“Did you learn to draw a lamp?”

“No. I learned the saying, ‘The darkest place is under the lamp.'”

“Ah. A saying. But you drew it with sheet music.”

“Ah. That’s what the school showed me in music class, saying it was sheet music, and I remembered it, so I combined it.”

Kim Yu-han’s eyes widened.

“Can you read sheet music?”

“No. I just remembered it as a picture.”

“Wow. You’re a genius. Isn’t that the ability? Photographic memory.”

“No.”

“Ah, no?”

I thought that was right, but Siha said no for now.

Kim Yu-han seemed embarrassed, but he calmly continued with the next question.

“Did you learn it at an art academy or something?”

“I’ve been drawing since I was little, and I met an art teacher before I became an elementary school student and learned from her.”

“Oh. Not an academy.”

“Yes. I learn at the art teacher’s house, and I learn what colors come out by making several colors.”

“Oh~ You make colors?”

“Yes!”

“It’s a little different from what I know about learning art. I thought you’d draw bricks or apples with a pencil and do sketching.”

“I’ve used pencils and sand, but the teacher didn’t tell me to draw anything. She just told me what color comes out and how it looks when it goes well with what color.”

“Oh. That’s amazing.”

Then came the question that is often asked to children.

“Then, Siha, what do you want to be? Like a painter.”

Siha says very confidently.

“I’m Hyung!”

“Hahaha. Ah. Do you want to be an interpreter?”

“No. Hyung.”

“???”

“I want to be a hyung who is good at everything like Hyung.”

The assistant MC next to him throws a wrench in the works.

“Then you have to have a younger sibling.”

“Ajusshi, I said I want to be good at everything like Hyung, not that I want to have a younger sibling.”

“Ah. That’s right. I’m sorry.”

Kim Yu-han smiles like a dad.

I wonder if he always smiles this much.

“I was going to tell you to stop because I asked a strange question, but Siha cut it off for me.”

“Oh, that’s right!”

“Yeah?”

Siha clapped as if he remembered something.

“Since I’m going out here, my friend told me to say it on the show.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes!”

“Then please introduce your friends.”

“Seung-joon wants to be a soccer player, Hana wants to be an idol, Jong-soo is good at studying, Jae-hwi wants to make clothes, Yeon-joo wants to be a great actor, Yoon-dong wants to dance well and become a person who makes dances, and Eun-woo wants to be a rapper.”

“Siha is rapping?”

“Hyung is also good at rapping.”

“???”

Kim Yu-han’s brain momentarily stopped at Siha’s sudden way of speaking.

Then the assistant MC next to him raised his hand.

“But why is Jong-soo the only one who is good at studying? Everyone else had a job they wanted to be.”

“Jong-soo is the class president.”

“No. You don’t know Jong-soo’s dream.”

“Jong-soo is smart.”

Kim Yu-han, who came to his senses, scolded the assistant MC, saying that he might not have a dream yet.

“Oh, that’s right.”

“Oh. Why again? Did you think of something else to say?”
