But I'm curious, you know, while TV stations might have a somewhat conservative vibe, wouldn't government offices be even stricter?

[Q. Do you divide the TV appearance fee?]
Is the TV appearance fee divided between the City Hall and you?

We don't split appearance fees. You get to keep everything? [Heading to meet Chungjuman]

[Don't forget your breakfast 2] - Ready to go?
- Yes. [Yawning]

[The famous MC yawns from the beginning] Is this Chungju? [First venture beyond the capital]
This is our first time leaving the capital area, isn't it?

I left at 3 a.m. to come here. [Always complaining about how early he came]
It's quite far.

He's the person I've been most curious about recently. He is the funniest civil servant in Korea.

There's a reason for finding their work fascinating. I even enjoy hearings. [First visit to support a public official]
Chungjuman

I've been eager to meet him. Aren't apples and Chungjuman the most famous things about Chungju?

[Chungju's finest: Apples and Chungjuman]
He's the one who put Chungju on the map.

I've been really curious about him. Seeing him so active lately, I think he's really motivated.

["I'll take what's mine" A term used by those over 40]
I wonder how much "in his pocket" he's made

[Curious about his recent bank balance]
so I really want to ask about that. Even though

everyone talks about money these days, I think a person's dreams are most important. Having values beyond money is crucial.

Reaching the pinnacle of public service? [Staying in civil service vs. Entering entertainment]
If that's the goal, he's probably contemplating it right now.

[(Curious about Chungjuman's ultimate goal)]
I'd love to ask him what he thinks about that.

[Heading to wake up Chungjuman] An old apartment like this is a first for us.

I really love this vibe. But why didn't he write this? Look, there's a question mark here.

It means write it down here. It's mandatory to write down your monthly city gas usage. It's my first time seeing a civil servant who hasn't done this.

[(First, let's enter Chungjuman's house)] I'm really vibing with this.

Oh my god. This vibe is amazing. [(A family home feel with kids)]
It's adorable, so heartwarming.

Where is he? He's not in the bedroom. [(Nobody in the bedroom?)]
No one's there.

[Over Here] No one's here? Shall we go in right away? Since it's bright.

[Chungjuman's room at last] [Let's go in] He's sleeping like that.

[(Covered face with a towel)] Let's wake him up. Chungju... Oh my god!

What the? Wow... I was startled! I was just about to sing, but I got surprised.

[6:30, wake-up complete]
What the? Your hair looks like a pineapple. Hello, nice to meet you.

[Chungjuman / Real name: Kim Seon-tae] [Characteristics: Grade 6 Public Official of Chungju City]
You have a unique sleeping style.

Do you usually sleep with your face covered like that? Yes, because I'm sensitive to light.

That's why I do this. Like a sleep mask. You use a towel as a sleep mask?

You should just get a real sleep mask. [(Looks like a well-used sleep mask)]
He's using that as a sleep mask.

Sorry, but public officials' salaries aren't that great these days. [(A Grade 6 Public Official can't afford a sleep mask)]

But were you awake? No, I was sleeping—but my kids and wife went out.
- I see.

So, I caught on. So, I knew today you would come. I expected you. So, were you awake

- and was like "Come and get me."
- Exactly. I deliberately tricked you. [(Failed to wake up because the wife woke up)]
I totally fell for it.

Do you usually sleep in this room? It feels like a nursery. This is actually a child's bed.

[(Clearly a single bed)]
Do you usually sleep here? I bought it for the kids but they refuse to sleep here.

I see. So, I'm temporarily using it. So, the kids sleep with their mom?

Yes, the kids sleep with my wife and I come here to sleep. [(Currently occupying the room alone)]
- I see.
- The bed is too small.

So, you're saying it's because of the kids. How long have you and your wife had separate rooms?

We didn't do that with our first child, but it became too cramped for our second child.

So it's been four years. Do you like sleeping in separate rooms? Or was it better to sleep together like before?

Isn't it obvious? Of course. By the way, do you have plans for a third child?

- No, no.
- Understood. Sorry, but please answer after the question. [(Stubbornly)]
No!

[(Plans for a third child are nonexistent)]
Understood. Anyway, I live in an apartment that's 40 years old.

This one is over 20 years old, right? It's been almost 30 years. - Almost 30 years?
- Yes.

I find this cherry-colored molding so cute, and I really like this vibe.

You didn't redecorate, did you? - No, it's as is.
- Just kept it as is, right?

We didn't touch it at all. - I heard you were renting.
- Yeah? Do you rent?

I live in a self-owned apartment now. It used to be a lump-sum lease. But why are you asking me that?

Well... Excuse me, are you trying to belittle me?
- Me? No way!

- My nose is running.
- Hang on, this is your sleeping eye mask, isn't it?
- Yes, it's my eye mask.

I apologize. What did you bring today, by the way?

You've already asked, Shake Shack Burger. So, did you really bring Shake Shack?

[Getting ready quickly to have burger] [Quickly preparing to serve the food]
Chungju Man, are you ready?

The food is ready now. [Grabbed each other's hands] - Oh, that looks very fresh.
- Of course.

[How did you restore this all?] [Today's breakfast menu: Shake Shack Burger] Our rule is that I have to give you the first bite.

The food is still fresh. Oh, yeah. That looks very fresh. Oh, you look pretty when you eat food.

The statement for the monthly gas consumption. I believe putting your monthly consumption into the statement is the householder's obligation.

- Or semi-obligatory.
- You're right. But I've noticed you've put nothing in it at all.

I think I probably did via text. If you texted them, there shouldn't be question marks, 

but I saw it was filled with question marks. [Investigating mode] You know, technically, they should come and check my monthly gas consumption.

But if they can't, there's another way to do that. So that's how I'm handling it.

- So, it's fine with you, then?
- Oh, you're trying to get me in trouble, right?

[As a civil worker, he's extra careful with scandal] How long have you lived here?

It's been more than a year. On the way here, I was quite interested in real estate,
I checked properties in this neighborhood,

and I found the most expensive apartment here is
like 10 million won per 3.3058 square meters.

- You're right.
- That's what I saw. I think this is 5 million won per 3.3058 square meters, right?

[He studied the property prices before coming here]
Am I right? I've checked them all already.

From 1 million to 10 million won per 3.3058 square meters, that's a tenfold difference.

[The current situation in Chungju
where houses next door can be 10 times more expensive]
And within 500 meters, those things are happening here.

In fact, that means the land itself doesn't have much value. You don't have to be so harsh.

Oh, come on. You're the pride of Chungju, aren't you? Because the value of the land itself makes no difference.

So that's why building prices can be so varied. The newer the building, the more expensive it is.

[His tip: Moving to a new building, if you move to the countryside]
Move to a recently built building.

I'm going to work hard and make money, and move to a new building. [He aspires to move to a new apartment]
I'll move to the neighborhood where all the Chungju rich men live.

So have you bought any newly constructed apartments? [Now his turn to ask a question]
No, not at all.

Or buildings? Well, it was already reported in the newspaper that I bought a building. So, it's a bit...

When? I haven't seen it. I own a building in Chungdam-dong. In Chungdam-dong?

How big is it? 217.800 m². - A small one...
- Yes, a small building.

Are you underestimating my building? [He's underestimating the value of his building]

I believe you can also afford to buy a property. Why are you renting a house now? I'm not good at investing.

[Deeply feels the same for him] - I failed a lot.
- I see. Especially, I lost a lot from Naver and Kakao.

But, back then when the price was low, I thought it was a good time, so I tried to invest at the lowest price,

but it went further down. [The hell gate opened]
I didn't know there was more room to fall.

But, you know I'm currently considering moving to a new place. - Since this apartment is too old, there are many things I need to fix.
- True.

Even the windows here, the sashes are made of aluminum. Sashes? [Living in a house with aluminum windows due to a failed investment]
Since they are made of aluminum,
the room temperature is almost the same as outdoors.

By the way, - I don't think you've shown your wife on TV, right?
- No, not yet.

How did you meet your wife in the first place? We started our careers at the same time.

[Civil worker couple]
- Oh, you started working at the same time?
- Yes, we did.

But we were a couple from the beginning; we started dating after getting to know each other.

So how did you ask her out for the first time? In fact, she asked me out first.

- Really?
- Seriously. I never ask someone I like out first. [A guy who has only been asked out]
Oh, really?

Also, we got married pretty quickly after we started dating. Yes, it was pretty quick.

I think it took less than 6 months to get married. Was there any reason for that?

Well, she approached me first. So I was pretty passive. You seem regretful, right?

No, no. Of course not. Are you okay? I'm okay, just recalling that time.

It was pretty good. [After 6 months of dating, they married]
I also got married around that time.
