(applause and cheers)
Thank you
The people who listen to someone's story
are really important people
It's the same with this mic
Microphones aren't owned by the person speaking
If this seems like it's mine,
the reason microphones were made
is to allow people to hear
So the real owner is
The real owner of this microphone is people like you
So your applause shouldn't be for me
but for yourselves, who, by sitting here
and deciding to listen,
lending me your ears,
have made this event possible
So please applaud the people around you
Yes (applause and cheers)
It's hard to bear, isn't it?
It's been silent for one minute
Less than one minute
It's hard
But paradoxically, the best way to make people laugh is
to stand in front of them without saying anything
It's only been a minute
but you're laughing
It's because you're the master of that time
You don't have to listen to someone speaking
Everyone knows everything
So they laugh even if you just let them alone
Everyone laughs
So what I absolutely want to talk to you about
are the counterattacks of the abandoned or those thought to be weak
Your counterattacks
The first is anxiety
Can I be anxious?
Is it okay for you to be anxious? Can I be anxious?
Sure
I think we should be nervous
because we are descended from people who were nervous
In primitive times,
people would die
if they didn't get nervous
when they heard animals' cries
Those who said, "What's that?" and went out to check
were bitten by something and died
Our ancestors
are those who said,
"Let's check when it's light out"
"Let's wait a bit"
So it's natural that we're nervous
However, when we get nervous or timid,
people regard us as strange
So we have to start counterattacking
to prove that we're not strange
We should be able to tell calm people, "You're the mutants"
"You wouldn't have survived in the past"
"We timid people are the type that would have"
I'm not saying that calm people are wrong,
just that it's time to send backup to our timid hearts
When you feel anxiety,
don't suppress it, just send in reinforcements
'This is right, you're coming to save me'
Actually, that's the role of anxiety
Secondly,
let's talk about appearance
Do ugly people and things
really
have a negative effect on the world?
Who made the standards for ugliness?
How many centimeters
do eyes have to be to be "big"?
Is it written in the constitution?
3 cm? 4 cm? 5 cm?
There's no standard
So then why
are those who have big eyes
told that they have "doe eyes"
and treated well socially?
Why do our eyes have to be described as "snake eyes"?
Are snakes truly evil?
Are deer truly good?
I think we need to be able to counterattack like this
I'm not saying that people who have big eyes are bad
I'm saying
only when people like us, who have small eyes, can counterattack
will society become fair and full of smiles and laughter
We are descendants of the Goguryeo horseback riding ethnic group
At that time, those with big eyes
couldn't play any role in efforts to protect the nation, the people
They couldn't fight while riding a fast horse
because dust would get in their eyes
Those with eyes like ours could ride continuously,
could focus on the enemy even while galloping forward
Also, tall people are not descendants of this horseback riding group
People who were tall couldn't fight on horseback
Their legs would drag on the ground
It was hard on both them and the horses
People like me could cling to a horse,
keep their eyes open, and go straight for the enemy lines
And you might have seen the "righteous army"
of the late Joseon period in your textbook in school
I want you to think about those pictures
The people all look like me
(applause)
So we have to end this age of people who have big eyes and are tall
I don't mean we should remove them from this world
We just need to be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them
There is nothing useless in the world
We can even suppose that there is no difference between handsome and ugly
But even if we decide that I'm ugly,
then attractive people's existence is made possible by mine
Without ugly people, there are no attractive people
(applause)
The theater manager, Mr. Sun Dae In, asked what I'm going to do until I'm 70
I'll answer
as a comedian
It's important for individuals to acquire skills
but after we turn forty and leave our jobs,
together we need to take up the struggle for a universal basic income
So while having fun,
we have to bring about the age in which
the value of fun is recognized
That will also make our retirement secure
That's a really fun thing to do
And we need to fight against
the idea that having fun
is a useless activity
What's our goal? It's to be like Pororo
To be able to sing, "Playing is my favorite"
and to earn money at the same time
Like that
The goal of people who work hard is to become Pororo
Isn't it?
All of humankind's cultural heritage was created by people at play
When everyone else went hunting,
the people who decided to stay in the cave and play
were the ones who painted wall murals
We have to play more
The grand speeches about preparing for the fourth industrial revolution-
I don't know know much about them, but we have to play
What is it that robots can't do? Play around
Playing
So recognizing the value of playing
is a way of preparing for the fourth industrial revolution
I can't make sense of Ahn Cheol Soo's speech
about the coming fourth industrial revolution
He should speak our language
Can you understand the presidential candidates' speeches?
I can't
Because they don't use your words
Can you understand Moon Jae-in's speeches?
I can't
They all use their own words
Now, what all presidential candidates are doing
is talking like doctors
I apologize to doctors, but-
At the hospital, they point to the X-ray and say,
"As you can see...." (laughter)
What are you thinking, at that time?
You're thinking, "I have no idea what I'm seeing"
It's because the doctor isn't speaking our language
You can't understand, right? Yeah, you don't know
There is no way to understand
So I think that all messages we get
tell us that real happiness and laughter
come from the things and people we regard as abandoned
So we should use our our own words, those that we understand
We have to use your words
Isn't it the same now with the election?
The things we said in our language in the public square
are being changed into their language
We should change them back
"Shut up"
We should be able to say, "Shut up"
I'm not talking about politics, I'm talking about comedy
So we should be able to speak our words
So this is the age of comedy
You know, as a comedian, I feel despair
I can't make audiences laugh as much as than politicians do
It's a hopeless time
"How, how can I be funnier?" I wonder
Now Choi Sun Sil has become a fierce rival in this area
When she cried out for democracy
I thought, 'Ah, she's my competition!'
There's no possibility of me making people laugh more than she does
But if you look closely at her, too,
you can see she has a conscience
She can't shout in a loud voice until the end
Unconsciously, she realizes,
'What I'm saying is illogical'
I can't do impressions of other people
but I can do an impression of her
There's the pursing of the lips
"This isn't democracy-mm" Like that
That pursing happens unconsciously
So those are their words, not ours
Let's talk about our words
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!" That's them
They make us laugh and feel understanding
Our life experts are people like the cleaning woman who said that
The people who deserve our attention
are those who never give up
and play their role fully
Who use our words: "Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"
Doesn't that give us more pleasure than any politician's speech?
They're our words But experts talk like this
"That word actually means 'typhoid fever'"
"So it shouldn't be used that way"
That's what they're saying now
But in this case, "bullshit" is the best four-character Chinese idiom
Isn't it?
Technically, it can't be that, because it includes Korean syllables
Let's put that conversation aside
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"
The spirit of this word seems like it will sweep Choi Soon-sil away soon
I want LG to name its next vacuum cleaner "bullshit"
"Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit..." like this
We need to focus on people like the woman who said that
People without much schooling
Those who quit
after elementary school,
middle school, or high school
It's time for us to be thankful for people like this
Almost none of them have ruined this country
Have you seen a middle-school dropout ruin the country?
Have you seen a high-school dropout ruin the country?
People who have ruined this country came from the sky, practically
Their academic level is sky-high
SKY-high (SKY is an acronym for Korea's top universities)
Almost all of them
So if your child gets into a "good" university,
you should be scared
You have to think, 'My child could ruin the country'
If they want to drop out after middle school,
then at least they won't harm the country
'Go your own way'
'You have to,' is what I think, personally
So to finish up,
we should be able to protest against words that don't acknowledge our values
"Your eyes are big!" is a way of comparing people to others
"Your eyes are small" is a way of comparing people to others
We should be able to fight against these kinds of utterances
We have to resist politicians when they say they will unite the nation
Who are they to say that they will unite us?
We have never in South Korean history been as united as we are right now
91% of people were in favor of impeachment
We are united already So what are they going on about?
Goodwill
We've wasted our lives seeking goodness in our leaders
We must be able to resist and protest
I think that that's true laughter and that we have power
So this election is a vice-presidential one
The president has already been confirmed
It's you all
Does that idea seem ridiculous? It's not
This is what is written in our constitution:
"We, the people of Korea, proud of a resplendent history"
Not "the republic of Korea", but "the people of Korea"
It refers to all of us, each of us
It's talking about you, specifically
"Upholding the cause of the government born of the independence movement of 1919
and the democratic ideals of the uprising of 1960 against injustice
having assumed the mission of democratic reform and peaceful unification
and having determined to consolidate national unity
with justice, humanitarianism and brotherly love and to destroy all social vices and injustice,
and by further strengthening the basic free and democratic order conducive to private initiative and public harmony,
to afford equal opportunities to every person,
and provide for the fullest development of individual capabilities,
your capabilities in all fields, including political, economic, social and cultural life and to help each discharge,
those duties and responsibilities concomitant to freedoms and rights,
to elevate the quality of life, for all citizens
and contribute to lasting world peace and the common prosperity of mankind,
and thereby, will ensure security, liberty and happiness"
For who?
for ourselves and our posterity forever
Do you know which phrases appear most frequently in our constitution?
"all citizens"
"whoever" "whoever"
"each individual"
"whoever"
Article 10 states that
all citizens have human worth and dignity
and individuals have inviolable, fundamental human rights and freedom,
and it is the state's duty to confirm and guarantee these rights
Individuals! Whoever!
So now it's time for our individual worth to be recognized
Is this related to workplace happiness?
It is
Don't just hang up a picture of the founder,
hang pictures of current employees in the halls
Please! Please!
Please hang them up
Don't only hang up bigwigs' quotations,
put yours up too
The most important thing is
being good to yourselves
That's why today's topic is "you"
And to the "you" editing this video, I say:
It's your problem now
Thank you
(applause and cheers)
