Happy Together - Global Special: Sam Hammington, Taecyeon, John Park, Fei & more! (2013.06.19)

[@ilhan691]

Fei is such an underrated beauty

[@mutiarahw4523]

Agree

[@maryalthene]

in the Philippines, we call her a "natural beauty" 😉😊 #naturale

[@atsaatsa6745]

you know asians are racist when they say "i wasnt popular because my skin too dark" 35:30

[@breaktherules1554]

@@atsaatsa6745 not really, its just a preferance besides its only in fei"s hometown. she said taecyeon will be huge in the north because they love dark skin.

[@Msonn907]

"It's not Suzy who's here but Fei!" omg, why can't they just introduce Miss A members without mentioning Suzy all the time,

[@Kariiiiiii]

Ugh i know how you feel

[@Msonn907]

***** no need to put the whole Korean population under the stamp "rude" tho haha, I only mentioned the people in the studio.

[@jeehoondevil]

It's called a joke. Because let's face it, as much as we don't want to mention it, it's obvious suzy is the most famous member in Miss A, and got the nickname "nation's first love" in Korea. So he just took this male generalization of what people thought and made the joke. Also if you notice, after that joke introduction, they NEVER mentioned Suzy again or compared Fei to Suzy, or asked questions about Suzy to her. They had specific individual questions just for Fei.

[@mewmewzoey7394]

Jeehoondevil the fact is,they shouldn't mention Suzy every time a member of Miss A is on a show. I love Miss A and all the members but tbh are more talented then Suzy,she's the "face" of the group that's why she's every where and honestly it's gotten pretty annoying. it's like Miss A is Suzy and her backup dancers

[@jeehoondevil]

Mewmew zoey Luckily other members of Miss A are getting more popular now as well. For example Fei's been appearing in a lot of variety shows and CFs. I wouldn't compare who has more talent as they each have their own talents in different fields. Also some people may refer Miss A like that because Miss A hasn't released an album in a while. It happened with 4minute too. 4minute used to be called Hyuna and her backup dancers as she had gotten popular through bubble pop and gangnam style. But they've been releasing a lot of albums and all of them are well known now.

[@gigivo7026]

This episode was really funny and OMG MR. OK TAECYEON, HOW ARE YOU SO HANDSOME???

[@amyle91]

I'd be willing to learn Korean and Japanese just to marry Taecyeon

[@inesb.8967]

I've seen somewhere that he speaks english 😉

[@xuannxx7791]

Inès Vip wgm ?

[@inesb.8967]

Xuann xx You meant where? 🙂In the after school club and somewhere else but I forgot where :)

[@xuannxx7791]

Inès Vip ohh I meant we got married.

[@inesb.8967]

Xuann xx ohh okay sorry x)

[@wynelee]

i like how taecyeon keep guessing fei's answer and even gave her the quiz answers LOL

[@soundoftherainn]

Taecyeon is so handsome

[@nikkitc73]

It’s still shocking how Taecyeon’s role in Vincenzo turned out. We all never expected it. >.

[@sandiezzz]

when taecyeon was watching fei cook my heart skipped a beat

[@kaynessful]

It really did!

[@minyoonji1981]

It's because Taecyeon doesn't cook at all so he wants to learn some things ^^ (Even though he's great at cooking, the people on the show "Roommate" LOVED his cooking!!!^^)

[@kakaphilia]

Apink Pinkpanda actually he cooked a lot at dorm, since he moved to his parents house he dont do it so much, but still do it in other TV show called 3 Meals a Day.

[@piedpiper1234]

i can't believe that Fei's brother didn't know about her career in Korea as a member of Miss a and just found out recently!!! for me it's hard to believe ...

[@jangtheconqueror]

When they're close to you, you care less lol, especially at that age. He probably knew she was doing something like that but had no idea she was even famous, especially considering it's a foreign country.

[@cbuz06]

wow didn't even realize there was a race "issue" with the show till i read the comments. i'm black (literally an african who grew up in america" and found no offese. people get offended when black stereotypes are even mentioned yet i bet we(black folks) have had our fair share of asian stereotypes). nothing was said in bad taste or to hurt anyo

[@xxblacktear]

i'm glad you feel this way and aren't offended ^^ most people that feel like it's offending aren't even the "targets" of the alleged offense :O i'm happy you could just enjoy the show, i think this episode was really funny hehe :3

[@gnrepetova]

Maybe it wasn't offensive because it isn't your culture. Growing up conveniently black in the country doesn't make you the same as a "black American."

[@classychicforever]

Jeonsa(전사) Yeah, I'm a black American and I didn't find anything offensive. Nothing was meant to hurt anyone.He was just saying how it was when he was living there.I have been around groups of black people and they all sit and generalize and talk about people such as Asians, saying nothing but stereotypes, because they really don't know any better since they have only been around a few Asians or whatever the situation may be. So, the same here.

[@youvsme3231]

Taecyeon answer about marrying a girl who speaks Korean, English and Japanese made me think of WGM lol

[@sarahs5915]

Ugh I hate it when whenever someone brings up missA it has to relate to Suzy the mcs really got to my nerves, the group doesn't just revolve around Suzy ok?-.-

[@anis55549]

you right..👍👍

[@lalrinpuiiralte3712]

+Sarah S BOTHERED ME A LOT

[@HiThereHeyThere]

Im sure it bothers all the other members a lot when they are on shows solo too.

[@lisa5hot]

I would usually agree except for this time they literally only mentioned her once in the beginning for the entire show so stop whining and go watch something else then

[@sarahs5915]

frida aleksey no not really and the so called fan only focused on Suzy. It really pissed me off. And no, I'm not hating on this video and I can watch this because the comment section is for people to express their opinions.

[@carinasapugay4888]

I really admire Taecyeon personality. Keep it up Taecyeon. I'm Shin Hye,Taecyeon Fan as well.Takecare Always Taecs!

[@madisoncuozzi2900]

When he said he was from Massachusetts! I'm from there and I just screamed when he pronounced it for them :)

[@keatis_1]

Fei is so beautiful!

[@sakuramankaii]

Psst, Taecyeon, over here... I can speak Korean, English, Japanese as well as 4 other languages and I want to live in korea with youuuuuu~ Although the prettiness-aspect... aish..

[@desireechan5807]

"Im white. Who would be fairer than me?" lmao

[@Medyaputri2309]

"You have to study hard to marry Taecyeon !" hahahahahahahha

[@sagwaoo]

This episode reminds me my friends and I, talking about our different cultures. It's very interesting to learn why in some countries they do that whereas we do in another way... Open your mind to the world and you will find that the world is a beautiful treasure!

[@itsshirleyyy]

Woowoo! Taecyeon represent Massachusetts!

[@bookwyrm0512]

man i’m so late to the game but taec and fei!!! idc if they’re friends or more, i just love their interactions - how they’re so comfortable teasing each other and stuff. jyp family, truly. it’s scenes like this that kinda make me sad that got7 left jype - although i’m glad they finally gained their freedom, we won’t get to see this sort of interaction with other jyp groups.

[@custardmaniac]

A fangirl's fantansy: Taecyeon and Fei can be beautiful couple!

[@kimmy6291]

this is one of the best episodes i've watched! Everybody was funny and pleasant to watch! The dumplings look real good..

[@marou510]

i love taecyeon! he is not only talented, good looking and he's also very accomodating to his fans. it's nice to see that KBS religiously uploads all new full eng sub episodes of Happy Together and Mamma Mia. we get the chance to also know the mothers of these famous k-pop stars and korean athletes at the same time. good job KBS!

[@RatnaAPPratiwi]

I dont know why but John Park look very hug-able

[@looleas]

littlestar 1304 he looks like a puppy!!!

[@janeflores5796]

he sounds so down-to-earth person

[@DoubleUD]

This episode was funny as hell, every time Park Jun-gyu opened his mouth you knew you were gonna laugh soon haha. Also, I learned that Taecyeon is a cool dude, had only heard of him until now. Lastly, if you're fair you can tell the people in the episode were merely exchanging experiences without judgment. You can't talk about large groups of people without generalizing, that's only the nature of the beast. Personally I love how these themes are introduced on Korean TV, as it creates awareness for the people on TV and the viewers, which is the first step in learning about other cultures.

[@seekthao]

Awwww and now Sam’s Mother has the cutest grandsons EVER❤️🌹

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

35:11 Yooooo Taecyeon is a savage to his fellow JYP bandmate xD

[@bookwyrm0512]

Not a Hottest but I came back here specially for taecyeon oppa because i missed his smile and his english

[@analinilan2245]

Hahahahaha Ok Taecyeon is really simple and handsome. Hope his career is more strong after military service

[@lextube]

I'd love to be in Sam's position one day, as a comedian on Korean TV.

[@dontbeoctopus1298]

Succeeded??

[@soha.sohaib]

update? lol

[@rainismmoon963]

woah now he is really active in and more popular in Korean Tv shows nowadays

[@soupysoup5246]

Rewatching in 2121. Junkyu made me laugh so much. 😂 love all of the guests in this episode- especially John Park!!

[@tigerlily515]

to anyone worried about the racism and stuff in this episode: it's kind of just an asian thing. you'd find this similarly in china and other countries. if you find yourself getting mad, just try to remember the mentalities of americans towards asians during jungyu's time because that's how it was and it's what he's used to. asians in general like lighter skin and more house-wife-ish women. it's just a culture difference and i'm sure they don't really mean all of what they say (or at least they're not saying it with bad intentions), since this program is mainly for laughs.

[@Denny1ist]

Thank you, you worded it perfectly ^^

[@DanialJaafar]

worddd

[@Denny1ist]

lol

[@AutumnByakko]

Anyone who claims racism after watching this show is trivializing racism in a way that is not okay. In what possible way was the show denigrating a different racial culture or claiming Asian superiority? All of the conversations revolved around revealing and contrasting cultures without passing normative judgments about which was better. Noticing differences is "awareness," not hatred or bigotry or discrimination.

[@Cornflower28]

AutumnByakko Can't agree w/you more on that point. It's like you can't talk about real cultural differences at all these days without people getting upset about it. There are cultural differences in the world, and if you don't know about them then you may offend someone.

[@maili86]

Taecyon is sooooo handsome - Even though he did not get to talk much, at least he got a lot of camera time - his smile is so cute. After watching Vicenzo, he is definitely one of my favorite Korean actor

[@B2STKW]

Ugh, some of Sam Hammington's comments made me roll my eyes.

[@soshinae]

This is why I love kbs world. You really serve the fan all over the world!

[@mydyth]

im kinda curious on why didnt they ask nichkhun to come as a global guest instead ? His mom is from China , His dad is from Thailand and he was born in US . He's basically a half thai half american and half chinese . Not global enough ?

[@장미즈바라기]

U mean one third not half

[@mydyth]

KpopJjang ah yeah thats what im trying to say

[@emzshiah]

+Fabulous Soubby we really don't know who they invite, they probably did but he could have had prior schedules so he couldn't go

[@norayahyaksimu2647]

bus

[@phamtan676]

i love Fei

[@Levio4life]

i think this is my FAVORITE Happy Together episode that i've watched so far ^^ omg those dumplings looks REALLY good! definitely going to make them

[@jaypoole9507]

I watch this all the time and I am African American and I enjoy it but the way they stereotyped us is a little overboard. Especially saying how we educate ourselves or live on a daily basis.

[@Kiara-yf5hc]

Me too, especially because I respect everyone else and their culture so it's so hurtful to me when I hear things like "Black/ African American English" bc there's literally no such thing, different people from different parts of the US have different accents not just Black people.

[@HiThereHeyThere]

I have a feeling they were talking about the slang and if the language or the conversations they see - is expressed abrasively. I do see a difference from mainstream American language and Black communities language. I understood what they meant, but i dont think it was meant in a bad way.

[@juonisback]

a proof of how these East Asians look so superior and look down to people with darker skin tone that's why they are all trying so hard to be as white as ghost. these people should open their minds more than lock them inside a box.

[@paniata6675]

fei and taec are great together, the way they talk to each other. :D

[@corgisrule21]

This is still one of the best episodes of HT 🤣🤣🤣 When I need to laugh I always come back to this

[@savzorzFTW]

Taecyeon laughing @ 44:36 made it much more funnier LOL

[@thestranger9095]

taecyeon so handsome !! arghhh !!!!!

[@kenho92]

Taecyeon was literally describing Jessica and Tiffany when he was pointing out who he wanted to marry. A Korean woman that speaks Korean, English and a little Japanese. Lol. Although a few others would fit the equation as well.

[@kielsmith2089]

kenho92 lol jessica came first in my mind then fany 😂

[@h.i.m.3200]

I didn't think there was any racism involved, guys. Why are you sensitive/quick to misinterpret their words? I think they were having an interesting discussion, learning about others' cultures. There wasn't anything spiteful or racist in their comments. They were simply curious about certain aspects of foreign cultures. You can fault them for being too ignorant but not being racist. Please chill guys. Yeesh.

[@supasexsquirrel]

KBS should release a cookbook!

[@lowewsv]

They already release it many years ago! You can buy this book at the bookstore in korea or at the Internet. I have one :)

[@sitinoorfazwani9513]

William's & Bentley's appa look so young here and taecyeon always looks fine 😍

[@AwesomestAmberMVS]

KBS is just the BEST for subbing their videos. Love you KBS.

[@teamae8554]

I felt like when ever john and taecyeon started talking that la Korean guy would start talking again

[@2manykisses4k]

funniest episode I've seen so far!

[@purplelight9208]

john I admire you ,,keep it up bro your believe and follow the Lord way because this all entertainment will pass by but not the kingdom of the god

[@tinabui7033]

Thank you so much for subbing this, KBS!

[@RaincloudPlay]

"Fei saw blank and thought it was an alien." "PSY!" "JYP!"

[@maishouavue1024]

Of all the Happy Together episodes I've seen so far, this is probably my favorite one!

[@tiaputri8607]

taecyeon 31:48, 45:47

[@22staytiny22]

thank you KBS for the subs :D you guys are probably international fans' favorite channel aside from the subbers out there

[@9faris3]

53:14 I guess it's true that in some countries, if you're not close to someone, you don't actually pay for them after a meal. If you're close to them, sometimes you don't mind to pay for them but the next time, it will be their turn to pay for the meal.

[@booksRAwesome92]

I'm from the US and I memorized the multiplication table when I was in elementary school....

[@cassidy268]

Sam is so funny!!! Laughed so hard!! :))

[@gloriawong9782]

I'm from HK and the noodle John Park made is what we call 餐蛋麵, which means ham and egg noodles

[@xcloudx_o]

I'm from New Zealand as well Sam Hammington

[@nguyea09]

thank you kbsworld for the subs

[@jingyi9785]

Fei x taecyeon / Jaesuk x jeon park (?) interactions are so funny when they are 'dissing (forgot the proper word)' each other XD

[@KhmerBaybeeh]

Thank you kbsworld!!

[@looveliza]

Just thought I'd make a comment about treat each other out to eat in the States, I think it also has to do with not wanting/ hesitating to pay someone back. If you say you'll treat the next time, it feels a bit like a debt that's meant to be repaid. So it's not so much of lack of gratitude all the time (:

[@shirzeon9258]

I freaking laugh so hard at here 44:34 LMFAO he's so funny,, my reaction when i heard this is literally the same as taecyeon and john 😂

[@Drock1891]

People are way too sensitive taking this show seriously. My goodness, relax and enjoy the damn show.

[@Mieklet]

I'm so obsessed with all these korean kbs youtube shows! So glad they subbed it for foreigners like me haha -canada!

[@huynhphu9275]

taecyeon forever

[@SilentDesert]

YAY! Thank you for posting subbed k-shows, KBS World!

[@azarazat]

I'm sure after watching this many girls will start learning how to speak english, korean and japanese :/

[@Eusoneu1990]

WE LOVE YOU! We just love you so much for having subbed this!

[@DanialJaafar]

haha "Go home, man" park jun kyu jjang!! and sam as usual is funny too.

[@99Zoombaful]

thank you so much for the subs kbsworld! i really liked this episode :D

[@sadiekane8694]

guess i've got a few more languages to go to be taecyeon's wife. 1/3 isn't too bad... right? :(

[@SuperJulie14]

I love this episode!!! I was also born in US and lived there for only 8 years.....

[@RC-ot9uh]

john would be disowned of he marries a non-korean?? harsh.

[@petercervantes2290]

oh i like taecyeon all the time

[@lovelaughsmile1000]

As an American kid born and raised I have to say this is nothing but stereotypes and sorry if they had bad experiences but that does not give them a reason to make fun of or disrespect other cultures. And I know it's just a show but I was slightly offended. Maybe too sensitive

[@emilywang737]

I get what u mean. It's kinda hard to watch when most of what they r saying doesn't sound that great. And honestly though I feel like if the wheels were turned and an American had a bad experience in Korea they probably would react similar. Because I feel like as humans we just all jump to conclusions way too fast and think that our own experiences r the only type of experiences.

[@TJKFool]

I understand what you mean since I'm a Korean American and I've been in America all my life but the Korean part of myself knows that Korean humor is different than American humor. What Koreans find funny and entertaining may be offensive in America since the cultures are different because what's politically correct in Korea is different than America. Also some of the translations weren't all correct. I was also offended at some of the comments they made too but that's just for entertainment purposes.

[@takaditakadang]

lovelaughsmile1000 fuck america

[@surrealintoxication]

+lovelaughsmile1000 You're absolutely right. Especially in this day and age, we shouldn't be generalising and stereotyping, particularly about race and culture. Korea has a way to go in that respect. But then a lot of Western cultures need to consider their own actions as well. Respect has to go both ways. There's still an attitude in Western countries that it's okay to stereotype Asians (especially saying "it's all the same") when it's actually really offensive. I was born and raised in Australia under really Westernised influences, but it's still offensive to me, because yes, you shouldn't treat people differently because of the way they physically look (racially), but at the same time, you shouldn't completely ignore their heritage and culture either. Westerners see it as a joke when they make fun of Asian cultures and stereotype, but take it extremely offensively when they find out Asians are doing the same to them. We could all do with a bit of perspective and a bit less stereotyping.

[@emilywang737]

That is really true and I agree but i also think it's not saying everyone is like that but it just seems as if both sides can do a little less of the stereotype thing.

[@davidjawhpan2618]

It was an hour video but cant stop watching it ! The funniest episode ever

[@ehye95]

Why are people getting so offended..... they're just talking about their experiences .. I guess it's different for Korean Americans cause we get both cultures and the translations are quite off, but I personally found nothing to be racist ... People need to chill out sometimes

[@CheekyTraveller]

I think Americans are more likely to find some of the wording racist because of our history with racism. We have become so politically correct that a simple word spoken in the "wrong" makes people want to riot. When I lived in Korea there were things that I cringed at seeing or hearing, but I had to remember that Korea has a very homogeneous society. Very few people have experience with foreigners and/or foreign cultures that doesn't come from their TV screen. How can Koreans possibly understand something an American finds cringe worthy when most of the shows we export to them offer very little, if any, historical references to our cultural behaviors? Consider the representations of non-whites in American television and films. How many of them are true representations and not just cartoonish versions of what we think their cultures are like? I would rather see people giving an honest representation of their personal experiences in our country than opinions based on the shows we export, some of which do not show women as more than sex-hungry, bed-hoppers who like to shop.

[@armv7-m603]

koreanc95 A lot of the domestic viewers will take these exaggerated views as fact and blow them out of proportion. Look at what that one woman said earlier on, "They are amazed that Koreans can memorize the multiplication table". That is just mind blowing ignorance and because of the little exposure to the world that korea has, the public will have negative views of westerners specifically American before even meeting them.

[@jontmigae4323]

I lived in America for 12 years now. there is no "judging." They said everything exactly as it is in America. I agree with everything on this show

[@imalsmaru]

They keep saying Ok Cat is from USA bt the 2pm members keep teasing how he was only there for 7 years and spend the most of his life in Korea xD

[@segull009]

Thank you for subbing so many variety shows for global fans.

[@cbuz06]

i'm seriously gonna try make fei's dish this weekend. maybe if i make it well i can add it as a surprise christmas dish and weird out my african family hehe!

[@ielavmukashi7070]

Hahaha , that's what I was thinking too XDD

[@mabermabert1101]

Its so awesome KBS uploads these :)

[@HiThereHeyThere]

The sneezing thing is because in the European countries there was the Plagues and other horrible diseases that happened in the dark ages etc, and so many tons of people died. So since it was a Christian or church related culture in EU (the Western world), people were saying they felt sad someone was likely going to die because they sneezed (while ill). The hygiene was minimal back then and no real medical like science today in modern times. So if you got sick, you likely died. Back then people were living together and getting sick and dying. People were all over the streets and everywhere just dying. So it was a very serious thing. Most likely when people said God bless you... it was as they were running by the person to avoid them and not catch the illness and die. The saying followed the British, Italians, Irish and French people as they came to America and Canada to settle here, and since most were religious or Christian it was part of the culture and a typical saying. People still say it today. Likely not so much in liberal areas as much as you would hear it from those who have Christian background (anywhere USA) or are from the Southern US states. Now its more of a nice thing to say. But the history of the saying was very "grave".

[@WumpaFruit0]

thank you KBS! I enjoyed the episode :)

[@valerie112]

taecyeon my bae❤🌌

[@260Eugene]

One of the greatest variety show on KBS

[@cygeeofficial]

Taecyeon

[@nimco84]

i agree with Fei the Korean people they are wonderful i have great friends when we meet first they are amazing to me and also each other god bless you guys and live happily after

[@SpesyMoria]

Lol I can't believe I am from the same state as Taecyeon!~

[@SilverRaffe09]

I fell in love over again. FEI!

[@SoojungJungSy]

They were all so funny, Jungyu annoyed me a little bit tho :/ Fei is so gorgeous~!!

[@amalal-ghamdi1284]

Thank you

[@boundbyheart]

Taecyeon was a hot nerd.

[@uwais9009]

thank you kbs!

[@DanitheLeo]

Ok so as a black woman the conversation amused and offended me. It was funny when they explained their experiences with black people but to judge a whole race of people by the few you knew in the 1980s is stupid. It's sad in 2014 they are still so ignorant of other countries cultures, I mean the generalization was crazy even when Sam talked about Western women it was enough to make me cringe. South Korea has a long way to go to become internationalized if this is still the attitude most Koreans have. Not to say they all do but smh this was kind of disappointing.

[@jenniferlee3007]

I agree about the generalization. I was cringing too. However, Korea is still a very homogenous place so I don't think most Koreans have been exposed to foreign cultures. Compared to when I had just moved to South Korea it's gotten A LOT better but I agree. Korea still has a long way to go. Sorry you felt offended but I hope you understand that not all Koreans feel the same way!

[@LeoDan808]

I'm glad it is getting better but it's just kind of sad. We have to fight stereotypes hard enough as it is right here in the US and it's the same thing if not worse over there. I don't believe for one second all Koreans think this way, but I just want to be judged by who I am as a woman and as a person not by my complexion. Generalization and stereotypes are stupid lol.

[@copymizer]

funny because you're the one generalizing now

[@AW-ex8fn]

it didn't seem to me they were generalizing when speaking of african americans. I watched it as specific to his time frame of the 80s and LA in the 80s was rough. however what I took most offense was the way Sam spoke about western women in comparison to korean. it was not only a stereotype but also telling of his underlying subscription to patriarchy that remains prevalent especially in south korea. but to be honest, people should really not take their experiences as truth of course. Like drinking? There is such a thing as social drinking and it really depends on the culture or city/geographic location in America.

[@blehbleh8143]

copymizer she literally said "NOT ALL"
