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

Is the TV appearance fee divided between the City Hall and you?

We don't split appearance fees. You get to keep everything?

This is our first time leaving the capital area, isn't it? I left at 3 a.m. to come here.

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.

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

I've been really curious about him. Seeing him so active lately, I think he's really motivated. I wonder how much "in my pocket" he did, 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?

If that's the goal, he's probably contemplating it right now.

I'd love to ask what he thinks about that.

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 not do this.

I'm really vibing with this. Oh my god. This vibe is amazing. It's adorable, so heartwarming.

Where is he? He's not in the bedroom. No one's there right now.

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

He's sleeping like that. 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.

What the? Your hair looks like a pineapple. Hello, nice to meet you.

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 like a sleep mask? You should just get a real sleep mask.
He's using that as a sleep mask.

Sorry, but public officials' salaries aren't that great these days.

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.
I totally fell for it. Do you usually sleep in this room?

It feels like a nursery. This is actually a kids' 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.
- 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.
No!

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 one 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 inquired it already, Shake Shack Burger.

So, did you really bring Shake Shack? Of course.

The food is ready now. - 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.

Thank you. [Amazed to have Shake Shack Burger at 7 in the morning] At the porch, I saw the statement for the monthly gas consumption.

I believe putting your monthly consumption into the statement is the obligation of a householder. - Or semi-obligatory.
- You're right.

But, I've noticed that you have put nothing in it at all. I think I probably did by text. If you texted them, there shouldn't be question marks on it, but I saw it was filled up with question marks.

[In the investigating mode] You know, there is a thing. 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 corresponding to it.

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

[As a civil worker, he's extra careful with scandal] How long has it been since you moved here? It's been more than one year.

On the way to come here, I'm 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 m2.

- You're right.
- That's what I saw. I think this is 5 million won per 3.3058 m2, right?

[He studied the property price before coming here]
Am I right? I've checked them all already. From 1 million won to 10 million won per 3.3058 m2, that's a tenfold difference.

And within 500 meters, those things are happening here.

In fact, that means the land itself doesn't have any value. You don't have to say that harsh. Oh, come on.

You're the pride of Chungju, aren't you? Because the value of the land itself has no difference. So that's why the building prices can be so varied like that.

The newer it is, the more expensive it is. Move to a building built lately.

I'm going to work hard and make money, and move to the new building. I'll go to the neighborhood where all the Chungju rich men live.

So have you bought any newly constructed apartments? No, not at all. Or a building?

Well, it was already told in the newspaper that I bought a building. So, it's a bit... When? I haven't seen it.

I owned a building in Cheongdam-dong. In Cheongdam-dong? How big is it? 217.800 m².

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

But, back then when the price was low, I thought it was a good timing, so I tried to invest at the lowest price, but it went further down.

I didn't know there was more room underneath. But, you know I'm currently considering to move to a new place now.

Since this apartment is too old, there are many things I need to touch. True.

Even the windows here, the sashes are made of aluminum. Since they are made of aluminum, the room temperature is pretty much the same as outdoor.

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 career at the same time. Oh, you started working at the same time? Yes, we did.

But, we were a couple in the beginning, we started going out after we got to know each other. So how did you ask her out for the first time?

In fact, she had asked me out first. Really? Seriously. I never go on a date with someone who I like first.

Oh, really? Also, we got married pretty right after we started going out.

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 to be regretful, right? No, no. Of course, not.

Are you okay? I'm okay, just recalling that time. It was pretty good. I also got married at that time.

So how did she find about your success? Well, she didn't react that much. She only wants me to contribute to fostering.

I believe she loves to support her husband's success in society, doesn't she?

No, she'd rather want me to wipe out the kids' asses. Basically, she just wanted to have stability and ordinaries in life, when she decided to marry me.

I mean, she wanted an ordinary, frugal, and quiet life...

But after marrying me, it's like... at home... there are many visitors doing like that, so.

And anyway, the risk is quite big, so my family is worried about that kind of thing. Aren't your family worried about you in reality?

Your real family. A little. Oh, my family is like that about it. Are they?

But, what I'm curious about is what made you first decide to become a civil servant? Actually, I prepared for the bar examination for a long time.

About six years? Oh... And then the bar examination disappeared. So, I decided to become a civil servant... I made up my mind like that and I prepared for a year and a half and I came in here.

But... if you prepared for the bar examination, I know that examination is so difficult.

Why did you prepare to be a Grade 9 civil servant instead of a Grade 7 civil servant?

After completing the bar examination, people usually go into a career like a court position or legal department to use what they've studied.

But I... never wanted to go into those fields. Especially, like a court position because... those who studied for the examination together A fellow next to the reading room is a judge... Oh... The organization that I wanted to go... that person works there.

And I couldn't think it's okay to see that, so I gave up on it and came here. I didn't even look back at that field, and just prepared with something completely new.

What I want to know is, at the cabinet meeting, before, the current president praised you. How did you feel about that? Oh, I was so surprised.

In a way... he's the head of our label... Oh, right.

So, I had a complex. What kind of complex is... It definitely gained popularity and high views, and it's right that Chungju-si became famous.
