I don’t even know what we’re up to in our conversations anymore. What’s on your mind, baby?
I’m still thinking about your cousin…
Which one?
The Taiwanese-Republican…
(Chuckles)
Why? What are you thinking about in terms of that cousin?
I think… it’s very real… he’s been interviewed… by the media… in Asia… he’s been on TV… he’s… known… he’s known in the business world, the same way Donald Trump used to be… (Well, not exactly — different reputations, but like, known as “somebody”) — He’s been featured on like Chinese equivalent of Forbes 100…
Uhuh…? Maybe…? Are you worried that your bosses know him or something?
No. My bosses don’t know him…
Oh?
My boss’s BOSSES KNOW HIM!!!
(Laughing)
Maybe not even them. It might be the boss’s boss’s BOSSES that even know him personally!??!?!! I DON’T KNOW FOR SURE but I have a feeling… I have a really really distinctive feeling… they know him…
(Laughing) Maybe you’re being a little paranoid… I’m the one who’s supposed to be PMSing…
Just because I’m a guy doesn’t mean I don’t have my own “PMSing” moments, okay? And I’m allowed to have these thoughts and wonder about these topics. I’m not paranoid, I’m just thinking about it…
(LOL) Okay… well… it doesn’t affect us?
No. It doesn’t affect you, obviously… but I’m just… I don’ t know. I’m trying to wrap my head around it.
You don’t have to wrap your head around anything. Just live your life. Your characters — they’re such a clean image! What are you worried about?!
(Big sighs)… did your Mum know? In the early 2000s? Has this been planned since that long ago?
Hmmm… I don’t think she consciously knew… maybe intuitively? Maybe she was… being over-prepared… I mean, my cousin — he JOKED about it — okay?! Just a young man at the time. JUST JOKING “Oh I’m gonna be President one day” — who’s gonna take him seriously!??!?! Nobody! Nobody took him seriously!!!
Your Mum did. Your Mum took him seriously.
Did she?
Yeah. I think she knew. And I think… she stopped us… for a good reason…
Oh? Now you think it’s a good reason?
Yeah… it would’ve been… really chaotic…
Oh? Okay?
I think I’m just sitting with that today.
Okay then. You sit with that today…
I’m wondering… what did you Mum say to you when she told you and your brother, more seriously, that this is happening? For that cousin? It’s very likely, it’s no longer a joke?
Well… she told me and my brother and sister-in-law together. They were already married when she told us. And because I was the single little sister left in the family… she said, “Be careful who you choose to marry. If they’re gonna stand on stage with you, they better have a clean image.”
(Bursts out laughing) Your family IS a Korean drama!!!
(Laughing too) Oh my god…
