SEBASI No.765 - You (Kim Je Dong | Entertainer)
-
0:10 - 0:15(applause and cheers)
-
0:23 - 0:24Thank you
-
0:24 - 0:29The people who listen
to someone's story -
0:29 - 0:32are really important people
-
0:32 - 0:33It's the same with this mic
-
0:33 - 0:38Microphones aren't owned
by the person speaking -
0:38 - 0:39If this seems like it's mine,
-
0:45 - 0:47the reason microphones were made
-
0:47 - 0:50is to allow people to hear
-
0:50 - 0:52So the real owner is
-
0:52 - 0:57The real owner of this microphone
is people like you -
0:57 - 1:01So your applause
shouldn't be for me -
1:01 - 1:05but for yourselves,
who, by sitting here -
1:05 - 1:07and deciding to listen,
-
1:07 - 1:10lending me your ears,
-
1:10 - 1:13have made this event possible
-
1:13 - 1:16So please applaud
the people around you -
1:16 - 1:22Yes
(applause and cheers) -
1:51 - 1:54It's hard to bear, isn't it?
-
1:54 - 1:57It's been silent for one minute
-
1:57 - 2:00Less than one minute
-
2:00 - 2:02It's hard
-
2:02 - 2:06But paradoxically,
the best way to make people laugh is -
2:06 - 2:10to stand in front of them
without saying anything -
2:10 - 2:12It's only been a minute
-
2:12 - 2:15but you're laughing
-
2:15 - 2:18It's because you're the master
of that time -
2:18 - 2:22You don't have to listen
to someone speaking -
2:22 - 2:25Everyone knows everything
-
2:25 - 2:30So they laugh even if
you just let them alone -
2:30 - 2:32Everyone laughs
-
2:32 - 2:35So what I absolutely
want to talk to you about -
2:35 - 2:43are the counterattacks of the abandoned
or those thought to be weak -
2:43 - 2:47Your counterattacks
-
2:47 - 2:49The first is anxiety
-
2:49 - 2:52Can I be anxious?
-
2:52 - 2:56Is it okay for you to be anxious?
Can I be anxious? -
2:56 - 2:57Sure
-
2:57 - 3:03I think we should be nervous
-
3:03 - 3:05because we are descended
from people who were nervous -
3:05 - 3:06In primitive times,
-
3:06 - 3:08people would die
-
3:08 - 3:10if they didn't get nervous
-
3:10 - 3:13when they heard animals' cries
-
3:13 - 3:16Those who said, "What's that?"
and went out to check -
3:16 - 3:18were bitten by something
and died -
3:18 - 3:20Our ancestors
-
3:20 - 3:22are those who said,
-
3:22 - 3:23"Let's check when it's light out"
-
3:23 - 3:26"Let's wait a bit"
-
3:26 - 3:30So it's natural that we're nervous
-
3:30 - 3:32However, when we get nervous
or timid, -
3:32 - 3:34people regard us as strange
-
3:34 - 3:38So we have to start counterattacking
-
3:38 - 3:40to prove that we're not strange
-
3:40 - 3:43We should be able to tell calm people,
"You're the mutants" -
3:43 - 3:46"You wouldn't have survived
in the past" -
3:46 - 3:52"We timid people are the type
that would have" -
3:52 - 3:56I'm not saying that calm people
are wrong, -
3:56 - 4:00just that it's time to send backup
to our timid hearts -
4:00 - 4:01When you feel anxiety,
-
4:01 - 4:05don't suppress it,
just send in reinforcements -
4:05 - 4:10'This is right,
you're coming to save me' -
4:10 - 4:12Actually, that's the role of anxiety
-
4:12 - 4:14Secondly,
-
4:14 - 4:18let's talk about appearance
-
4:18 - 4:21Do ugly people and things
-
4:21 - 4:22really
-
4:22 - 4:26have a negative effect on the world?
-
4:26 - 4:29Who made the standards for ugliness?
-
4:29 - 4:31How many centimeters
-
4:31 - 4:35do eyes have to be
to be "big"? -
4:35 - 4:37Is it written in the constitution?
-
4:37 - 4:413 cm? 4 cm? 5 cm?
-
4:41 - 4:44There's no standard
-
4:44 - 4:45So then why
-
4:45 - 4:47are those who have big eyes
-
4:47 - 4:50told that they have "doe eyes"
-
4:50 - 4:53and treated well socially?
-
4:53 - 4:57Why do our eyes have to be
described as "snake eyes"? -
4:57 - 4:59Are snakes truly evil?
-
4:59 - 5:05Are deer truly good?
-
5:05 - 5:10I think we need to be able to
counterattack like this -
5:10 - 5:13I'm not saying that
people who have big eyes are bad -
5:13 - 5:14I'm saying
-
5:14 - 5:20only when people like us, who
have small eyes, can counterattack -
5:20 - 5:24will society become fair
and full of smiles and laughter -
5:24 - 5:27We are descendants of the Goguryeo
horseback riding ethnic group -
5:27 - 5:29At that time, those with big eyes
-
5:29 - 5:33couldn't play any role in efforts
to protect the nation, the people -
5:33 - 5:35They couldn't fight
while riding a fast horse -
5:35 - 5:37because dust would
get in their eyes -
5:37 - 5:40Those with eyes like ours
could ride continuously, -
5:40 - 5:45could focus on the enemy
even while galloping forward -
5:45 - 5:49Also, tall people are not descendants
of this horseback riding group -
5:49 - 5:51People who were tall
couldn't fight on horseback -
5:51 - 5:53Their legs would drag
on the ground -
5:53 - 5:55It was hard on both them
and the horses -
5:55 - 5:59People like me
could cling to a horse, -
5:59 - 6:03keep their eyes open,
and go straight for the enemy lines -
6:03 - 6:07And you might have seen
the "righteous army" -
6:07 - 6:09of the late Joseon period
in your textbook in school -
6:09 - 6:11I want you to think
about those pictures -
6:11 - 6:15The people all look like me
-
6:15 - 6:19(applause)
-
6:19 - 6:23So we have to end this age of people
who have big eyes and are tall -
6:23 - 6:26I don't mean we should remove them
from this world -
6:26 - 6:33We just need to be able to stand
shoulder-to-shoulder with them -
6:33 - 6:38There is nothing useless in the world
-
6:38 - 6:44We can even suppose that there is no
difference between handsome and ugly -
6:44 - 6:47But even if we decide that I'm ugly,
-
6:47 - 6:51then attractive people's existence
is made possible by mine -
6:51 - 6:53Without ugly people,
there are no attractive people -
6:53 - 6:58(applause)
-
7:01 - 7:06The theater manager, Mr. Sun Dae In,
asked what I'm going to do until I'm 70 -
7:06 - 7:10I'll answer
-
7:10 - 7:13as a comedian
-
7:13 - 7:15It's important for individuals
to acquire skills -
7:15 - 7:18but after we turn forty
and leave our jobs, -
7:18 - 7:22together we need to take up the struggle
for a universal basic income -
7:22 - 7:24So while having fun,
-
7:24 - 7:27we have to bring about
the age in which -
7:27 - 7:28the value of fun is recognized
-
7:28 - 7:31That will also make
our retirement secure -
7:31 - 7:33That's a really fun thing to do
-
7:33 - 7:37And we need to fight against
-
7:37 - 7:40the idea that having fun
-
7:40 - 7:41is a useless activity
-
7:41 - 7:44What's our goal?
It's to be like Pororo -
7:44 - 7:47To be able to sing,
"Playing is my favorite" -
7:47 - 7:48and to earn money at the same time
-
7:48 - 7:49Like that
-
7:49 - 7:53The goal of people who work hard
is to become Pororo -
7:53 - 7:55Isn't it?
-
7:55 - 7:59All of humankind's cultural heritage
was created by people at play -
7:59 - 8:00When everyone else went hunting,
-
8:00 - 8:03the people who decided
to stay in the cave and play -
8:03 - 8:05were the ones who
painted wall murals -
8:09 - 8:11We have to play more
-
8:11 - 8:15The grand speeches about preparing
for the fourth industrial revolution- -
8:15 - 8:18I don't know know much about them,
but we have to play -
8:18 - 8:22What is it that robots can't do?
Play around -
8:22 - 8:26Playing
-
8:26 - 8:29So recognizing the value of playing
-
8:29 - 8:32is a way of preparing for the
fourth industrial revolution -
8:32 - 8:34I can't make sense of
Ahn Cheol Soo's speech -
8:34 - 8:36about the coming
fourth industrial revolution -
8:36 - 8:39He should speak our language
-
8:39 - 8:41Can you understand
the presidential candidates' speeches? -
8:41 - 8:42I can't
-
8:42 - 8:45Because they don't use
your words -
8:45 - 8:47Can you understand
Moon Jae-in's speeches? -
8:47 - 8:48I can't
-
8:48 - 8:50They all use their own words
-
8:50 - 8:53Now, what all presidential candidates
are doing -
8:53 - 8:55is talking like doctors
-
8:55 - 8:57I apologize to doctors, but-
-
8:57 - 8:59At the hospital,
they point to the X-ray and say, -
8:59 - 9:03"As you can see...."
(laughter) -
9:03 - 9:05What are you thinking,
at that time? -
9:05 - 9:08You're thinking,
"I have no idea what I'm seeing" -
9:08 - 9:11It's because the doctor
isn't speaking our language -
9:11 - 9:15You can't understand, right?
Yeah, you don't know -
9:15 - 9:16There is no way to understand
-
9:16 - 9:19So I think that all messages we get
-
9:19 - 9:22tell us that real happiness and laughter
-
9:22 - 9:26come from the things and people
we regard as abandoned -
9:26 - 9:29So we should use our our own words,
those that we understand -
9:29 - 9:32We have to use your words
-
9:32 - 9:34Isn't it the same now
with the election? -
9:34 - 9:37The things we said in our language
in the public square -
9:37 - 9:39are being changed
into their language -
9:39 - 9:41We should change them back
-
9:41 - 9:44"Shut up"
-
9:44 - 9:46We should be able to say, "Shut up"
-
9:46 - 9:49I'm not talking about politics,
I'm talking about comedy -
9:49 - 9:53So we should be able
to speak our words -
9:53 - 9:55So this is the age of comedy
-
9:55 - 9:58You know, as a comedian,
I feel despair -
9:58 - 10:02I can't make audiences laugh
as much as than politicians do -
10:02 - 10:04It's a hopeless time
-
10:04 - 10:09"How, how can I be funnier?"
I wonder -
10:09 - 10:14Now Choi Sun Sil has become
a fierce rival in this area -
10:14 - 10:16When she cried out for democracy
-
10:16 - 10:19I thought,
'Ah, she's my competition!' -
10:19 - 10:23There's no possibility of me
making people laugh more than she does -
10:23 - 10:26But if you look closely at her, too,
-
10:26 - 10:28you can see she has a conscience
-
10:28 - 10:31She can't shout in a loud voice
until the end -
10:31 - 10:34Unconsciously, she realizes,
-
10:34 - 10:37'What I'm saying is illogical'
-
10:37 - 10:40I can't do impressions
of other people -
10:40 - 10:42but I can do an impression of her
-
10:42 - 10:44There's the pursing of the lips
-
10:44 - 10:50"This isn't democracy-mm"
Like that -
10:50 - 10:54That pursing happens unconsciously
-
10:54 - 10:56So those are their words, not ours
-
10:56 - 10:58Let's talk about our words
-
10:58 - 11:02"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"
That's them -
11:02 - 11:05They make us laugh
and feel understanding -
11:05 - 11:08Our life experts are people like
the cleaning woman who said that -
11:08 - 11:10The people who deserve
our attention -
11:10 - 11:12are those who never give up
-
11:12 - 11:14and play their role fully
-
11:14 - 11:17Who use our words:
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!" -
11:17 - 11:22Doesn't that give us more pleasure
than any politician's speech? -
11:22 - 11:25They're our words
But experts talk like this -
11:25 - 11:27"That word actually means
'typhoid fever'" -
11:27 - 11:29"So it shouldn't be used that way"
-
11:29 - 11:31That's what they're saying now
-
11:31 - 11:36But in this case, "bullshit" is
the best four-character Chinese idiom -
11:36 - 11:38Isn't it?
-
11:38 - 11:41Technically, it can't be that,
because it includes Korean syllables -
11:41 - 11:44Let's put that conversation aside
-
11:44 - 11:45"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!"
-
11:45 - 11:52The spirit of this word seems like
it will sweep Choi Soon-sil away soon -
11:52 - 11:57I want LG to name
its next vacuum cleaner "bullshit" -
11:57 - 12:03"Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit..." like this
-
12:03 - 12:07We need to focus on people
like the woman who said that -
12:07 - 12:09People without much schooling
-
12:09 - 12:10Those who quit
-
12:10 - 12:12after elementary school,
-
12:12 - 12:13middle school, or high school
-
12:13 - 12:19It's time for us to be thankful for
people like this -
12:19 - 12:23Almost none of them have
ruined this country -
12:23 - 12:26Have you seen a middle-school dropout
ruin the country? -
12:26 - 12:28Have you seen a high-school dropout
ruin the country? -
12:28 - 12:32People who have ruined this country
came from the sky, practically -
12:32 - 12:34Their academic level is sky-high
-
12:34 - 12:37SKY-high (SKY is an acronym for
Korea's top universities) -
12:37 - 12:38Almost all of them
-
12:38 - 12:41So if your child gets into
a "good" university, -
12:41 - 12:43you should be scared
-
12:43 - 12:47You have to think,
'My child could ruin the country' -
12:47 - 12:49If they want to drop out
after middle school, -
12:49 - 12:51then at least they
won't harm the country -
12:51 - 12:55'Go your own way'
-
12:55 - 12:58'You have to,'
is what I think, personally -
12:58 - 13:03So to finish up,
-
13:03 - 13:09we should be able to protest against words
that don't acknowledge our values -
13:09 - 13:12"Your eyes are big!"
is a way of comparing people to others -
13:12 - 13:14"Your eyes are small"
is a way of comparing people to others -
13:14 - 13:19We should be able to fight against
these kinds of utterances -
13:19 - 13:22We have to resist politicians
when they say they will unite the nation -
13:22 - 13:27Who are they to say that
they will unite us? -
13:27 - 13:33We have never in South Korean history
been as united as we are right now -
13:33 - 13:3691% of people were
in favor of impeachment -
13:36 - 13:40We are united already
So what are they going on about? -
13:40 - 13:42Goodwill
-
13:42 - 13:46We've wasted our lives
seeking goodness in our leaders -
13:46 - 13:49We must be able to
resist and protest -
13:49 - 13:55I think that that's true laughter
and that we have power -
13:55 - 13:57So this election is a
vice-presidential one -
13:57 - 13:59The president has already
been confirmed -
13:59 - 14:01It's you all
-
14:01 - 14:04Does that idea seem ridiculous?
It's not -
14:04 - 14:06This is what is written
in our constitution: -
14:06 - 14:09"We, the people of Korea,
proud of a resplendent history" -
14:09 - 14:12Not "the republic of Korea",
but "the people of Korea" -
14:12 - 14:14It refers to all of us,
each of us -
14:14 - 14:18It's talking about you, specifically
-
14:18 - 14:22"Upholding the cause of the government
born of the independence movement of 1919 -
14:22 - 14:27and the democratic ideals of the
uprising of 1960 against injustice -
14:27 - 14:31having assumed the mission of democratic
reform and peaceful unification -
14:31 - 14:34and having determined
to consolidate national unity -
14:34 - 14:40with justice, humanitarianism and brotherly love and
to destroy all social vices and injustice, -
14:40 - 14:46and by further strengthening the basic free and democratic order
conducive to private initiative and public harmony, -
14:46 - 14:50to afford equal opportunities to every person,
-
14:50 - 14:54and provide for the fullest development
of individual capabilities, -
14:54 - 14:59your capabilities in all fields, including political,
economic, social and cultural life and to help each discharge, -
14:59 - 15:04those duties and responsibilities
concomitant to freedoms and rights, -
15:04 - 15:06to elevate the quality of life, for all citizens
-
15:06 - 15:13and contribute to lasting world peace
and the common prosperity of mankind, -
15:13 - 15:16and thereby, will ensure security, liberty and happiness"
-
15:16 - 15:17For who?
-
15:17 - 15:23for ourselves and our posterity forever
-
15:23 - 15:27Do you know which phrases appear most
frequently in our constitution? -
15:27 - 15:28"all citizens"
-
15:28 - 15:31"whoever"
"whoever" -
15:31 - 15:32"each individual"
-
15:32 - 15:34"whoever"
-
15:34 - 15:35Article 10 states that
-
15:35 - 15:39all citizens have
human worth and dignity -
15:39 - 15:43and individuals have inviolable,
fundamental human rights and freedom, -
15:43 - 15:48and it is the state's duty to confirm
and guarantee these rights -
15:48 - 15:50Individuals! Whoever!
-
15:50 - 15:56So now it's time for our
individual worth to be recognized -
15:56 - 15:59Is this related to
workplace happiness? -
15:59 - 16:01It is
-
16:01 - 16:03Don't just hang up a picture
of the founder, -
16:03 - 16:08hang pictures of current employees
in the halls -
16:08 - 16:12Please! Please!
-
16:12 - 16:14Please hang them up
-
16:14 - 16:16Don't only hang up
bigwigs' quotations, -
16:16 - 16:20put yours up too
-
16:20 - 16:23The most important thing is
-
16:23 - 16:27being good to yourselves
-
16:27 - 16:29That's why today's topic is "you"
-
16:29 - 16:33And to the "you" editing this video,
I say: -
16:33 - 16:37It's your problem now
-
16:37 - 16:39Thank you
-
16:39 - 16:40(applause and cheers)

- SEBASI No.765 - You (Kim Je Dong | Entertainer)
- Description:
-
Are you yourself feeling kind of humbled these days? It is time for those who seem unimportant and abandoned to counterattack. I have lost my motivation for comedy lately - because of whom? Why should tall, handsome actors with big eyes thank me? Why should you welcome feelings of anxiety? After five years, I’ve come back to the stage of SeBaSi. Now we have to start our own story - for you, in your language. In my funny-but-serious way, I discuss everything from the philosophy of comedy, to the things you want to say to politicians, to the constitutional rights that we should regain. If you would like a world in which everyone is respected, a better world, I ask you to listen to my speech.
