00:00:10.290 --> 00:00:14.579
(applause and cheers)

00:00:22.594 --> 00:00:24.439
Thank you

00:00:24.439 --> 00:00:28.818
The people who listen 
to someone's story

00:00:28.818 --> 00:00:31.778
are really important people

00:00:31.778 --> 00:00:33.177
It's the same with this mic

00:00:33.177 --> 00:00:37.886
Microphones aren't owned
by the person speaking

00:00:37.886 --> 00:00:39.416
If this seems like it's mine,

00:00:45.421 --> 00:00:47.397
the reason microphones were made

00:00:47.407 --> 00:00:50.207
is to allow people to hear

00:00:50.207 --> 00:00:52.413
So the real owner is

00:00:52.413 --> 00:00:57.457
The real owner of this microphone
is people like you

00:00:57.457 --> 00:01:01.451
So your applause
shouldn't be for me

00:01:01.458 --> 00:01:05.221
but for yourselves,
who, by sitting here

00:01:05.221 --> 00:01:07.098
and deciding to listen,

00:01:07.098 --> 00:01:10.108
lending me your ears,

00:01:10.108 --> 00:01:13.468
have made this event possible

00:01:13.468 --> 00:01:15.888
So please applaud 
the people around you

00:01:15.888 --> 00:01:21.737
Yes
(applause and cheers)

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.404
It's hard to bear, isn't it?

00:01:54.404 --> 00:01:56.580
It's been silent for one minute

00:01:56.580 --> 00:01:59.690
Less than one minute

00:01:59.690 --> 00:02:01.509
It's hard

00:02:01.509 --> 00:02:06.399
But paradoxically,
the best way to make people laugh is

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:10.314
to stand in front of them
without saying anything

00:02:10.314 --> 00:02:12.499
It's only been a minute

00:02:12.499 --> 00:02:14.954
but you're laughing

00:02:14.954 --> 00:02:18.274
It's because you're the master
of that time

00:02:18.274 --> 00:02:21.598
You don't have to listen
to someone speaking

00:02:21.598 --> 00:02:25.215
Everyone knows everything

00:02:25.215 --> 00:02:29.855
So they laugh even if
you just let them alone

00:02:29.855 --> 00:02:31.556
Everyone laughs

00:02:31.556 --> 00:02:35.405
So what I absolutely
want to talk to you about

00:02:35.405 --> 00:02:42.921
are the counterattacks of the abandoned
or those thought to be weak

00:02:42.921 --> 00:02:46.716
Your counterattacks

00:02:46.716 --> 00:02:48.899
The first is anxiety

00:02:48.899 --> 00:02:51.790
Can I be anxious?

00:02:51.790 --> 00:02:55.568
Is it okay for you to be anxious?
Can I be anxious?

00:02:55.568 --> 00:02:57.433
Sure

00:02:57.433 --> 00:03:02.782
I think we should be nervous

00:03:02.782 --> 00:03:04.691
because we are descended
from people who were nervous

00:03:04.691 --> 00:03:06.202
In primitive times,

00:03:06.202 --> 00:03:08.389
people would die

00:03:08.389 --> 00:03:10.219
if they didn't get nervous

00:03:10.219 --> 00:03:13.012
when they heard animals' cries

00:03:13.012 --> 00:03:15.513
Those who said, "What's that?"
and went out to check

00:03:15.513 --> 00:03:18.422
were bitten by something
and died

00:03:18.422 --> 00:03:19.911
Our ancestors

00:03:19.911 --> 00:03:21.733
are those who said,

00:03:21.733 --> 00:03:23.465
"Let's check when it's light out"

00:03:23.465 --> 00:03:26.431
"Let's wait a bit"

00:03:26.431 --> 00:03:29.943
So it's natural that we're nervous

00:03:29.943 --> 00:03:32.241
However, when we get nervous
or timid,

00:03:32.241 --> 00:03:34.434
people regard us as strange

00:03:34.434 --> 00:03:37.781
So we have to start counterattacking

00:03:37.781 --> 00:03:39.895
to prove that we're not strange

00:03:39.895 --> 00:03:43.242
We should be able to tell calm people,
"<i>You're</i> the mutants"

00:03:43.242 --> 00:03:45.865
"You wouldn't have survived
in the past"

00:03:45.865 --> 00:03:51.925
"We timid people are the type
that would have"

00:03:51.925 --> 00:03:55.506
I'm not saying that calm people
are wrong,

00:03:55.506 --> 00:03:59.825
just that it's time to send backup
to our timid hearts

00:03:59.825 --> 00:04:01.497
When you feel anxiety,

00:04:01.497 --> 00:04:04.937
don't suppress it,
just send in reinforcements

00:04:04.937 --> 00:04:09.530
'This is right, 
you're coming to save me'

00:04:09.530 --> 00:04:12.195
Actually, that's the role of anxiety

00:04:12.195 --> 00:04:14.492
Secondly,

00:04:14.492 --> 00:04:18.222
let's talk about appearance

00:04:18.222 --> 00:04:20.715
Do ugly people and things

00:04:20.715 --> 00:04:22.476
really

00:04:22.476 --> 00:04:25.804
have a negative effect on the world?

00:04:25.804 --> 00:04:29.221
Who made the standards for ugliness?

00:04:29.221 --> 00:04:30.886
How many centimeters

00:04:30.886 --> 00:04:34.753
do eyes have to be
to be "big"?

00:04:34.753 --> 00:04:36.657
Is it written in the constitution?

00:04:36.657 --> 00:04:40.949
3 cm? 4 cm? 5 cm?

00:04:40.949 --> 00:04:43.737
There's no standard

00:04:43.737 --> 00:04:45.255
So then why

00:04:45.255 --> 00:04:47.217
are those who have big eyes

00:04:47.217 --> 00:04:49.778
told that they have "doe eyes"

00:04:49.778 --> 00:04:53.421
and treated well socially?

00:04:53.421 --> 00:04:56.565
Why do our eyes have to be 
described as "snake eyes"?

00:04:56.565 --> 00:04:59.449
Are snakes truly evil?

00:04:59.449 --> 00:05:04.762
Are deer truly good?

00:05:04.762 --> 00:05:09.990
I think we need to be able to 
counterattack like this

00:05:09.990 --> 00:05:12.800
I'm not saying that 
people who have big eyes are bad

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.231
I'm saying

00:05:14.231 --> 00:05:19.550
only when people like us, who
have small eyes, can counterattack

00:05:19.550 --> 00:05:23.676
will society become fair
and full of smiles and laughter

00:05:23.676 --> 00:05:27.191
We are descendants of the Goguryeo 
horseback riding ethnic group

00:05:27.191 --> 00:05:28.770
At that time, those with big eyes

00:05:28.770 --> 00:05:32.667
couldn't play any role in efforts
to protect the nation, the people

00:05:32.667 --> 00:05:34.890
They couldn't fight
while riding a fast horse

00:05:34.890 --> 00:05:37.044
because dust would 
get in their eyes

00:05:37.044 --> 00:05:40.102
Those with eyes like ours
could ride continuously,

00:05:40.102 --> 00:05:45.127
could focus on the enemy
even while galloping forward

00:05:45.130 --> 00:05:48.665
Also, tall people are not descendants
of this horseback riding group

00:05:48.665 --> 00:05:51.000
People who were tall
couldn't fight on horseback

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.947
Their legs would drag
on the ground

00:05:52.947 --> 00:05:55.135
It was hard on both them 
and the horses

00:05:55.135 --> 00:05:58.762
People like me 
could cling to a horse,

00:05:58.762 --> 00:06:03.380
keep their eyes open, 
and go straight for the enemy lines

00:06:03.380 --> 00:06:06.626
And you might have seen
the "righteous army"

00:06:06.626 --> 00:06:09.159
of the late Joseon period
in your textbook in school

00:06:09.159 --> 00:06:11.109
I want you to think 
about those pictures

00:06:11.109 --> 00:06:15.212
The people all look like me

00:06:15.212 --> 00:06:19.152
(applause)

00:06:19.158 --> 00:06:23.266
So we have to end this age of people
who have big eyes and are tall

00:06:23.266 --> 00:06:26.446
I don't mean we should remove them 
from this world

00:06:26.446 --> 00:06:32.725
We just need to be able to stand 
shoulder-to-shoulder with them

00:06:32.725 --> 00:06:37.716
There is nothing useless in the world

00:06:37.716 --> 00:06:43.585
We can even suppose that there is no
difference between handsome and ugly

00:06:43.585 --> 00:06:46.661
But even if we decide that I'm ugly,

00:06:46.661 --> 00:06:50.535
then attractive people's existence
is made possible by mine

00:06:50.535 --> 00:06:52.958
Without ugly people,
there are no attractive people

00:06:52.958 --> 00:06:58.336
(applause)

00:07:00.946 --> 00:07:05.528
The theater manager, Mr. Sun Dae In,
asked what I'm going to do until I'm 70

00:07:05.528 --> 00:07:09.513
I'll answer

00:07:09.513 --> 00:07:12.518
as a comedian

00:07:12.518 --> 00:07:15.210
It's important for individuals
to acquire skills

00:07:15.210 --> 00:07:17.538
but after we turn forty 
and leave our jobs,

00:07:17.538 --> 00:07:21.984
together we need to take up the struggle
for a universal basic income

00:07:21.984 --> 00:07:23.670
So while having fun,

00:07:23.670 --> 00:07:26.519
we have to bring about
the age in which

00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:27.949
the value of fun is recognized

00:07:27.949 --> 00:07:31.229
That will also make
our retirement secure

00:07:31.229 --> 00:07:32.998
That's a really fun thing to do

00:07:33.001 --> 00:07:37.249
And we need to fight against

00:07:37.249 --> 00:07:39.599
the idea that having fun

00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:41.189
is a useless activity

00:07:41.189 --> 00:07:44.324
What's our goal?
It's to be like Pororo

00:07:44.324 --> 00:07:46.549
To be able to sing,
"Playing is my favorite"

00:07:46.557 --> 00:07:48.238
and to earn money at the same time

00:07:48.238 --> 00:07:49.181
Like that

00:07:49.181 --> 00:07:53.397
The goal of people who work hard
is to become Pororo

00:07:53.397 --> 00:07:54.951
Isn't it?

00:07:54.951 --> 00:07:58.848
All of humankind's cultural heritage
was created by people at play

00:07:58.848 --> 00:08:00.461
When everyone else went hunting,

00:08:00.461 --> 00:08:02.991
the people who decided 
to stay in the cave and play

00:08:02.991 --> 00:08:05.251
were the ones who 
painted wall murals

00:08:08.967 --> 00:08:11.071
We have to play more

00:08:11.071 --> 00:08:14.550
The grand speeches about preparing 
for the fourth industrial revolution-

00:08:14.550 --> 00:08:18.160
I don't know know much about them,
but we have to play

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.313
What is it that robots can't do?
Play around

00:08:22.313 --> 00:08:25.970
Playing

00:08:25.970 --> 00:08:29.113
So recognizing the value of playing

00:08:29.113 --> 00:08:31.916
is a way of preparing for the 
fourth industrial revolution

00:08:31.916 --> 00:08:34.219
I can't make sense of 
Ahn Cheol Soo's speech

00:08:34.219 --> 00:08:36.389
about the coming
fourth industrial revolution

00:08:36.389 --> 00:08:38.784
He should speak our language

00:08:38.784 --> 00:08:41.175
Can you understand
the presidential candidates' speeches?

00:08:41.175 --> 00:08:42.403
I can't

00:08:42.407 --> 00:08:44.573
Because they don't use 
your words

00:08:44.573 --> 00:08:47.072
Can you understand
Moon Jae-in's speeches?

00:08:47.072 --> 00:08:48.062
I can't

00:08:48.062 --> 00:08:49.991
They all use their own words

00:08:49.991 --> 00:08:52.664
Now, what all presidential candidates
are doing

00:08:52.670 --> 00:08:54.793
is talking like doctors

00:08:54.793 --> 00:08:56.687
I apologize to doctors, but-

00:08:56.687 --> 00:08:59.147
At the hospital, 
they point to the X-ray and say,

00:08:59.147 --> 00:09:02.523
"As you can see...."
(laughter)

00:09:02.523 --> 00:09:04.829
What are you thinking, 
at that time?

00:09:04.829 --> 00:09:08.303
You're thinking, 
"I have no idea what I'm seeing"

00:09:08.303 --> 00:09:11.336
It's because the doctor
isn't speaking our language

00:09:11.336 --> 00:09:14.714
You can't understand, right?
Yeah, you don't know

00:09:14.714 --> 00:09:16.475
There is no way to understand

00:09:16.475 --> 00:09:19.486
So I think that all messages we get

00:09:19.486 --> 00:09:22.471
tell us that real happiness and laughter

00:09:22.471 --> 00:09:25.503
come from the things and people 
we regard as abandoned

00:09:25.503 --> 00:09:28.726
So we should use our our own words,
those that we understand

00:09:28.726 --> 00:09:31.859
We have to use your words

00:09:31.859 --> 00:09:34.416
Isn't it the same now 
with the election?

00:09:34.416 --> 00:09:36.998
The things we said in our language
in the public square

00:09:36.998 --> 00:09:39.165
are being changed 
into their language

00:09:39.165 --> 00:09:41.227
We should change them back

00:09:41.227 --> 00:09:43.811
"Shut up"

00:09:43.811 --> 00:09:46.036
We should be able to say, "Shut up"

00:09:46.036 --> 00:09:48.959
I'm not talking about politics,
I'm talking about comedy

00:09:48.959 --> 00:09:53.221
So we should be able
to speak our words

00:09:53.221 --> 00:09:55.070
So this is the age of comedy

00:09:55.075 --> 00:09:58.344
You know, as a comedian,
I feel despair

00:09:58.344 --> 00:10:02.147
I can't make audiences laugh
as much as than politicians do

00:10:02.147 --> 00:10:04.296
It's a hopeless time

00:10:04.296 --> 00:10:09.303
"How, how can I be funnier?"
I wonder

00:10:09.303 --> 00:10:13.506
Now Choi Sun Sil has become
a fierce rival in this area

00:10:13.506 --> 00:10:15.595
When she cried out for democracy

00:10:15.595 --> 00:10:19.358
I thought, 
'Ah, she's my competition!'

00:10:19.358 --> 00:10:22.803
There's no possibility of me
making people laugh more than she does

00:10:22.803 --> 00:10:25.527
But if you look closely at her, too,

00:10:25.527 --> 00:10:27.925
you can see she has a conscience

00:10:27.925 --> 00:10:30.962
She can't shout in a loud voice
until the end

00:10:30.962 --> 00:10:33.772
Unconsciously, she realizes,

00:10:33.772 --> 00:10:36.733
'What I'm saying is illogical'

00:10:36.733 --> 00:10:39.946
I can't do impressions 
of other people

00:10:39.948 --> 00:10:41.809
but I can do an impression of her

00:10:41.809 --> 00:10:43.879
There's the pursing of the lips

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:49.570
"This isn't democracy-mm"
Like that

00:10:49.570 --> 00:10:53.643
That pursing happens unconsciously

00:10:53.643 --> 00:10:56.380
So those are their words, not ours

00:10:56.380 --> 00:10:57.797
Let's talk about our words

00:10:57.807 --> 00:11:02.358
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"
That's them

00:11:02.358 --> 00:11:04.540
They make us laugh 
and feel understanding

00:11:04.540 --> 00:11:07.889
Our life experts are people like 
the cleaning woman who said that

00:11:07.889 --> 00:11:09.611
The people who deserve
our attention

00:11:09.611 --> 00:11:11.709
are those who never give up

00:11:11.709 --> 00:11:14.353
and play their role fully

00:11:14.353 --> 00:11:17.187
Who use our words:
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"

00:11:17.187 --> 00:11:22.319
Doesn't that give us more pleasure
than any politician's speech?

00:11:22.319 --> 00:11:24.563
They're our words
But experts talk like this

00:11:24.563 --> 00:11:27.073
"That word actually means 
'typhoid fever'"

00:11:27.073 --> 00:11:28.762
"So it shouldn't be used that way"

00:11:28.762 --> 00:11:31.271
That's what they're saying now

00:11:31.271 --> 00:11:36.489
But in this case, "bullshit" is
the best four-character Chinese idiom

00:11:36.489 --> 00:11:37.562
Isn't it?

00:11:37.562 --> 00:11:41.393
Technically, it can't be that,
because it includes Korean syllables

00:11:41.393 --> 00:11:43.513
Let's put that conversation aside

00:11:43.513 --> 00:11:45.032
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"

00:11:45.032 --> 00:11:51.504
The spirit of this word seems like
it will sweep Choi Soon-sil away soon

00:11:51.504 --> 00:11:56.830
I want LG to name 
its next vacuum cleaner "bullshit"

00:11:56.830 --> 00:12:02.794
"Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit..." like this

00:12:02.794 --> 00:12:06.580
We need to focus on people
like the woman who said that

00:12:06.580 --> 00:12:09.203
People without much schooling

00:12:09.203 --> 00:12:10.364
Those who quit

00:12:10.368 --> 00:12:11.586
after elementary school,

00:12:11.586 --> 00:12:12.933
middle school, or high school

00:12:12.933 --> 00:12:18.782
It's time for us to be thankful for
people like this

00:12:18.782 --> 00:12:22.892
Almost none of them have 
ruined this country

00:12:22.892 --> 00:12:25.525
Have you seen a middle-school dropout
ruin the country?

00:12:25.525 --> 00:12:28.024
Have you seen a high-school dropout
ruin the country?

00:12:28.024 --> 00:12:31.864
People who have ruined this country 
came from the sky, practically

00:12:31.874 --> 00:12:33.992
Their academic level is sky-high

00:12:33.992 --> 00:12:36.736
SKY-high (SKY is an acronym for 
Korea's top universities)

00:12:36.736 --> 00:12:38.387
Almost all of them

00:12:38.387 --> 00:12:40.607
So if your child gets into 
a "good" university,

00:12:40.607 --> 00:12:43.396
you should be scared

00:12:43.396 --> 00:12:46.849
You have to think, 
'My child could ruin the country'

00:12:46.849 --> 00:12:48.951
If they want to drop out
after middle school,

00:12:48.951 --> 00:12:50.976
then at least they 
won't harm the country

00:12:50.976 --> 00:12:55.286
'Go your own way'

00:12:55.297 --> 00:12:58.267
'You have to,' 
is what I think, personally

00:12:58.267 --> 00:13:02.666
So to finish up,

00:13:02.666 --> 00:13:08.855
we should be able to protest against words
that don't acknowledge our values

00:13:08.855 --> 00:13:11.707
"Your eyes are big!"
is a way of comparing people to others

00:13:11.707 --> 00:13:14.399
"Your eyes are small"
is a way of comparing people to others

00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:19.008
We should be able to fight against
these kinds of utterances

00:13:19.008 --> 00:13:22.447
We have to resist politicians
when they say they will unite the nation

00:13:22.447 --> 00:13:26.578
Who are they to say that 
they will unite us?

00:13:26.578 --> 00:13:33.052
We have never in South Korean history 
been as united as we are right now

00:13:33.052 --> 00:13:36.256
91% of people were 
in favor of impeachment

00:13:36.257 --> 00:13:39.979
We are united already
So what are they going on about?

00:13:39.979 --> 00:13:41.779
Goodwill

00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:46.039
We've wasted our lives
seeking goodness in our leaders

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.059
We must be able to 
resist and protest

00:13:49.059 --> 00:13:54.784
I think that that's true laughter
and that we have power

00:13:54.784 --> 00:13:56.836
So this election is a 
vice-presidential one

00:13:56.836 --> 00:13:59.336
The president has already
been confirmed

00:13:59.336 --> 00:14:00.659
It's you all

00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:03.530
Does that idea seem ridiculous?
It's not

00:14:03.532 --> 00:14:05.505
This is what is written
in our constitution:

00:14:05.505 --> 00:14:09.402
"We, the people of Korea,
proud of a resplendent history"

00:14:09.402 --> 00:14:11.853
Not "the republic of Korea",
but "the people of Korea"

00:14:11.853 --> 00:14:14.321
It refers to all of us,
each of us

00:14:14.321 --> 00:14:18.221
It's talking about you, specifically

00:14:18.221 --> 00:14:22.089
"Upholding the cause of the government 
born of the independence movement of 1919

00:14:22.089 --> 00:14:27.009
and the democratic ideals of the 
uprising of 1960 against injustice

00:14:27.009 --> 00:14:31.291
having assumed the mission of democratic 
reform and peaceful unification

00:14:31.291 --> 00:14:34.431
and having determined 
to consolidate national unity

00:14:34.431 --> 00:14:40.032
with justice, humanitarianism and brotherly love and 
to destroy all social vices and injustice,

00:14:40.032 --> 00:14:46.056
and by further strengthening the basic free and democratic order
conducive to private initiative and public harmony,

00:14:46.056 --> 00:14:50.385
to afford equal opportunities to every person,

00:14:50.385 --> 00:14:53.703
and provide for the fullest development
of individual capabilities,

00:14:53.703 --> 00:14:59.455
your capabilities in all fields, including political, 
economic, social and cultural life and to help each discharge,

00:14:59.455 --> 00:15:03.533
those duties and responsibilities 
concomitant to freedoms and rights,

00:15:03.533 --> 00:15:06.443
to elevate the quality of life, for all citizens

00:15:06.443 --> 00:15:13.171
and contribute to lasting world peace 
and the common prosperity of mankind,

00:15:13.171 --> 00:15:15.958
and thereby, will ensure security, liberty and happiness"

00:15:15.958 --> 00:15:17.171
For who?

00:15:17.171 --> 00:15:23.149
for ourselves and our posterity forever

00:15:23.149 --> 00:15:26.513
Do you know which phrases appear most
frequently in our constitution?

00:15:26.513 --> 00:15:27.839
"all citizens"

NOTE Paragraph

00:15:27.839 --> 00:15:31.250
"whoever"
"whoever"

00:15:31.262 --> 00:15:32.238
"each individual"

00:15:32.238 --> 00:15:33.569
"whoever"

00:15:33.569 --> 00:15:35.490
Article 10 states that

00:15:35.490 --> 00:15:39.303
all citizens have 
human worth and dignity

00:15:39.303 --> 00:15:43.273
and individuals have inviolable,
fundamental human rights and freedom,

00:15:43.273 --> 00:15:47.565
and it is the state's duty to confirm
and guarantee these rights

00:15:47.565 --> 00:15:50.146
Individuals! Whoever!

00:15:50.146 --> 00:15:55.923
So now it's time for our 
individual worth to be recognized

00:15:55.923 --> 00:15:59.123
Is this related to 
workplace happiness?

00:15:59.123 --> 00:16:00.552
It is

00:16:00.552 --> 00:16:02.604
Don't just hang up a picture
of the founder,

00:16:02.604 --> 00:16:08.214
hang pictures of current employees
in the halls

00:16:08.214 --> 00:16:12.205
Please! Please!

00:16:12.205 --> 00:16:14.347
Please hang them up

00:16:14.347 --> 00:16:16.249
Don't only hang up 
bigwigs' quotations,

00:16:16.249 --> 00:16:20.339
put yours up too

00:16:20.339 --> 00:16:23.440
The most important thing is

00:16:23.442 --> 00:16:27.008
being good to yourselves

00:16:27.008 --> 00:16:29.133
That's why today's topic is "you"

00:16:29.133 --> 00:16:33.247
And to the "you" editing this video, 
I say:

00:16:33.247 --> 00:16:37.125
It's your problem now

00:16:37.125 --> 00:16:38.559
Thank you

00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.189
(applause and cheers)

00:16:40.193 --> 00:16:44.193
