Transcript I - translated by soji at leebyunghun.com
BH = Lee Byung Hun
HS = Kim Hye Soo
SH = Song Seung Hun
1. they seem to be asked what they think about the other's role in 'Happy Together'
SH : The role 'Seo Taepoong' acts hastily but lovely....
but back to reality, a person like Taepoong may be irresponsible. ^^
well...i don't mean just my character in the drama is better. ¤»¤»¤»
BH: (in ironic tone) you are better --;;
KHS: By any chance, have you been actually involved in love triangle ?
BH: oh..no......
I've only experienced about 5 or 6 angular love.
^++++++++^
SH: It seems hard for me to keep even one love.
If I fall in love with someone, I would feel like caring only her
as much as I can sacrifice myself to her. ^^
If I really love her........
BH: By any chance, answers were also given on the scripts of today show? ^^::
Survey of their Ideal woman "Love triangle talk"
Choose one out of 2
Q. girl with pretty face or girl with beautiful shape
SH: will take girl with beautiful shape rather than one with pretty face
HS: what kind of figure you prefer ?
SH: (without saying, pointing to KHS) ^^
HS: (grinning) oh...you have a good eye.
How about BH?
BH: I'd like to hear that i have a great eye, too ^^
HS: (toward audience)Both of them gave an unexpected answer.
I have thought men in general prefer women with pretty face. ^^
SH: For her face....I can get her plastic surgery ¤»¤»¤»
^++++++++++++++++^
Q. really beautiful woman or woman who has really nice personality
BH: In order to keep long relationship, I will take a woman with nice personality
HS: what about short relationship???
SH: (interrupting) woman who has good shape ¤»¤»¤»
BH: That one wasn't given as an example...
HS: He(SH) is still not getting out of great shape. ¤»¤»¤»
BH: whenever I have happy or hard moment, I would feel like calling to her very first.
I think it goes for woman with nice personality who can comfort me.
SH: me too...when a woman and a man meet, I think feeling understood between two
is important.
I prefer woman like friend to woman with pretty appearance
Q. In a pool, Woman wearing BIKINI or Woman wearing One-piece bathing suit
BH: Woman in one-piece.....might look more mysterious...
because she has more parts i can't see. ^^;;
Woman in bikini shows too much ....so...prefer one-piece which gives me
more room to imagine(???)...oooops ^++++^
HS: how about SH?
SH: woman in one-piece
Isn't only difference between bikini and one-piece showing her belly button?
What if she has a protruding belly button? ^^
HS: what's your favorite style of Swimwear?
BH: Because I am crazy about water sports, I don't really mind any kind of swimwear.
Even I've experienced that I swam wearing not see-through underwear.
I don't really care the style of swimwear as long as necessary part is covered. ^^;;
SH: I like a triangle style without specific reason... ^^
Q. Sweet woman or humorous woman
BH: a sweet woman
SH: why i am so similar to BH...
HS: oh...there seems high possibility for you two to be in love triangle.
HS: Do you think you are the person who is sweet to lover?
BH: I think if somebody tries to treat sweet on purpose, it would not look natural.
If the other feels it's cute and lovely when one shows oneself as it is,
then it's real amiability
I don't think artificial amiability works...^^
Q. girl who changes easily to speaking in casual way once get closed
or girl who keeps honorific way in speaking
BH: Woman who keeps honorific way but changes to casual speaking after I allow. ^^
SH: That is not on the examples...^^
SH: I prefer keeping honorific each other.
HS: They might become competitive toward one woman since their taste is very similar...^^
I heard you are sworn brothers. How come?
SH: I've been a great fan of BH since I was teenager.
His acting looked great to me even when he was a rookie.
He looked manly and humorous. serious but witty.
In my opinion, I think BH has more aspects to appeal to men...
while I attract women...¤»¤»¤»¤»¤»
Meanwhile I was thinking he is cool, I happened to film together.
So, first when I met BH, I just spoke to him "I am your fan...
please give me 10 autographs of you" and he said ok...
but he didn't give...right? don't you remember? ¤»¤»¤»
BH: oh..I did?..^^I don't remember... anyway, after I heard from SH, no wonder I was happy.
I just proposed "Shall we make friends? ok. let's be close friends"
HS: Did you have any ceremony for being sworn brothers?
BH: not special ceremony...but we have an experience that we peed in one toilet
at the same time. ^^
SH: I've said before to BH...
Even though I know it won't happen....
Extremely speaking, even if he were in a situation chased by police on suspicious of murder,
I am willing to hide him.
Inserted another CLIP from 'Our joyful Saturday' ( hidden camera )
: Through hidden camera, watching Star's reaction on previous arranged situation by staffs.
In the meeting of BH's colleague where BH accompanied,
the toughs threaten the colleague so BH doesn't bear and do protect him.
What a faithful and just man !!!
Both of them love sports and they are so competitive to hate to lose.
Even though they want to go sporting together, they can't make time easily
just sometimes works out together.
While they are working out in the fitness club, their competition works, too.
BH : After 2 hour works, if I say "let's go", SH says " Ummmm...just 5 min more"
then, after 5 min, if SH says "Ok...let's go" , I replies " well...5 min more"
This rotation has been repeated until the crew of gym stopped us due to closing time. ^^ ;;

Version II - Translation by tj of callacafe (www.callacafe.net), thanks to Wenyi
Kim He Soo (KHS) asked several questions to both SSH and Lee byung hun.
I translated some of SH and BH's answers.
The main theme of the talk was about love. The KHS show was famous for small, friendly, and witty talk.
This show also went very well since both SH and BH have very good sense of humor.^^
1. About love…..
SH: I can die for her, if I am really in love with her.
2. Which do you prefer when you saw woman? Nice body shape or face?
SH: Body, Body shape is more important
3. If you say nice body shape, Which type do you prefer?
without a word, SH just look at Kim He Soo and pointed her. (Crowd, big Laugh)
*KHS is famous for her glamorous look.
KHS says with smile that “you have a very good eye for a beauty”
Then asked same question to BH.
BH: I also want to hear that I have a good eye for a beauty. (big laugh)
4. Which do you prefer, very very nice, good girl or very very pretty girl?
BH's answer: I like a girl with nice character rather than pretty face. For a long time friendship, nice character is more important.
KHS talks back to BH " For short time relation ships?"^^
SH's quick answer: A girl with nice body shape. (Big Laugh)
They both want to be in love with a woman who can be also a friend.
(A woman who can share their feelings and communicate each other.)
5. I saw your CF , you choose coffee can instead of a chance for a kiss with pretty girl. Can you understand him?
SH: Oh, No, I can't understand. That's impossible..(very serous but, with laugh) No way.. (it means he will kiss her rather than drirking a coffee ^^)
6. About swim suit, do you prefer bikini or one-piece type?
They both like a girl in one-piece swim suit. It covers more….^^
They don’t want to see too much..^^
7.How do you guys become friends?
When they work together, SH first talk to LBH (LBH was already very famous star at that time) "I like you and look up to you (as brother)." LBH said that now we are friend. And later on, they swear to be brother (sworn brother). Later, Lim Chang Jeong (he is also very good friend of BH) was also joined the brother club.
8. KHS joked about the sworn brother thing-how did you swear to be brother? did you guys cut your fingers and took your blood or something?
BH: Do we look like Indians? (laugh)
9. How do you think about your relationships with BH?
SH: We trust each other. I can do almost anything for him. For example, evenif he become a criminal and become a fugitive, I will give him a place to hide.
KHS: You shouldn't talk about it publically in TV . The police will go to your place at first to find BH.^^(Laugh)
BH talks about one episode.
Once they run into gangsters. BH confronted with the gangters, but SH did not help BH, instead of being a help, he was keep shouting from far away. (big laugh)
BH said he really thanks SH for the shouting (evenif SH was not there for him)at that time. and BH also mentioned that LIm Chang Jeong was there too when they met the gangsters.
But BH never sees him ever since..(Laugh)
10. Do you guys are being competitive each other?
For this question, they talk a lot,
but basically, they do compete each other.
Especially when they work out together at the health club or when they play sports games.
I think that BH's character is very competitive (and SH as well ).
There was a funny episode too, but I'll skip it.
10. Last part
SH said that he just finished "Calla", the movie.

Happy Together SBS Party 1999 by reikolbh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_MKw2igLrg
A precious clip, although there's no Eng. subs (only Korean/Japanese). I totally adore Happy Together so this sharing is simply a treat. All the cast were present at the party but the main focus was BH and also a bit on SSH.
It's nice seeing all of them altogether after the series.. BH somehow looked just like TaePoong.. so simple a man. But who would have thought that his luck was about to change big time after Happy Together when he landed the role in JSA. It obviously boost his personal confidence and acting (movie-wise) quite tremendously, too.
Sorry that the caps are rather blurry but don't you just wonder what secret were the brothers Hun talking about?

[Blue Dragon Awards Reports Series] (3) Song Seung-heon
(2002.11.25 20:32) Lee Byeong-heon, subject of Blue Dragon Awards' 2nd report, recommends Song Seung-heon as the subject of the next interview. Lee Byeon-heon and Song Seung-heon are widely known as "Brotherly Buddies" in the film industry; before his debut, Song Seung-heon was Lee Byeong-heon's devoted fan. Lee Byeon-heon said: "I look forward to my beloved younger brother Song Seung-heon winning the love of viewers as a movie actor. When Song Seung-heon wins Best Actor at Blue Dragon Film Awards, I will be the first to run to the stage to congratulate him with flowers."
When asked about his special friendship with Lee Byeon-heon, Song Seung-heon replied: "He only says nice things (ie good words)." Following "Make It Big", Song Seung-heon is currently filming movie "Ice Rain"; he's deeply involved in movies this year. He said "As an actor, it's really worth experiencing various trials and difficulties. Also don't have to memorize lines in a hurry before filming."
His plan is to focus on movies next year. He wouldn't rule out TV dramas if there are good works, but he would like to take the challenge of being a movie actor.
In addition to filming "Ice Rain", he's very busy preparing for outdoor filmings in Canada next year. No matter how busy he is, he plans to participate in this year's Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony.
He said: "Blue Dragon Film Awards focuses on public (mainstream?) works, therefore, the works and their performers are able to attract the audience and judges." Reporters asked him which award does he want the most, Song Seung-heon chooses Blue Dragon Award without hestitation.

MC#1
MC#2: Shin Dong-yeop (SDY)
Question to LBH: What's your first impression of SSH?
His impression of you is not very good. {H: i guess 1 of 2 MCs said this jokingly}
LBH: He seems like Japanese in some ways. The 1st time I saw him, I feel that he's not Korean. The impression he gave me is not bad. We filmed together. Later when it's time for us to eat, he told me that I'm his idol and asked if he can see me as a brother?
He's very well mannered {respectful} toward me; at that time, I feel that he's very {good at observing others} ~ BH meant that SSH knew that he should "be nice" to BH as he is someone whom SSH can follow and learn from
SDY: He's like that toward us too. {referring to himself & MC#1}
MC#1: I feel that a beautiful female would not hang out with another beautiful female.
SDY: Definitely cannot be together.
MC#1: But men are not like that. When 2 handsome men are together, they would feel that my appearance is better than yours. Do you compare? {meant to ask whether the scenario applies to them?}
LBH: Not everyone's that way. There are times when I see him.
MC#1 Come, you guys continue fighting/arguing...
MC#1 or SDY: I'm really happy to have us 5 handsome men on 1 program.
MC#1 or SDY: It's said that SSH often calls LBH on the phone.
SSH: Because we are both actors. And he's my favorite idol. We used to work/film together so I really like him.
He says that to everyone {H: did BH say this?}
SSH: These 2 especially helped me a lot. Taught me many things when I just debuted. For the entire lifetime, I will never forget them. {H: i think he pointed to MC#1 & SDY? Not sure. In SH's biography, BH & SDY are listed as 2 of his best friends - along with SJS & KSW}
SDY to BH: Do you want to say anything to him?
LBH: I heard that he's very popular in Taiwan. {H: Autumn In My Heart set viewership rating record in TW during its broadcast there}
SSH: Hong Kong too.
BH hit SH, then they both laughed.
