Since I started translating, subbing and uploading Xman related clips on Youtube on May 19th, 2006, the Dangyunhaji from Xman #50 featuring Chae Yeon taking on Kim Jong Kook was my first one, there has been lots of questions about the show, games, celebrities, basically anything that has appeared in the show.
So the basic aim of this page is to answer once and for all the answers that you so much want to know after watching the show.
DETAILS
WHAT IS IT ABOUT
SBS Real Situation Sunday (previously known as Real Situation Saturday) was one of the most popular variety programs shown every Sunday @ 1840hrs (GMT +9) on SBS television channel. Xman was part of its “Good Sunday” program with the latter part often showing something else, for example Banjun dramas.
Xman is a Korean variety show involving celebrities where they play a series of games and compete against each other. Most of the time, the results of the game is secondary as primarily you watch for the reactions of the celebrities which are really funny and addictive. It is even better because you don’t get run-of-the-mill celebrities but real popular ones like Shinhwa, DBSK, H.O.T, Kim Jong Kook, Yoon Eun Hye, etc have all been on it. It became a good vehicle for you to promote yourself if you had a new album, movie or drama coming on soon since many people were watching it.
Essentially, it’s a variety show program that started on the premise of assigning a mole and guessing who is the mole at the end of the day. Celebrities would be divided into two teams and compete against each other in various games. The producer would decide on that day of recording who the mole is through a phone call on the spot. The mole would then have to lose the game on purpose at critical stages during the recording subtly without being too noticeable. At the end of the day, if the majority of the celebrities get it correct, a sum of money would be donated to a designated charity in the names of all celebrities. Otherwise, the money would be donated under the name of the Xman.
The idea of looking and spotting the Xman was highly successful and got not just the viewers excited about it but the celebrities recording the show itself. It didn’t help that the games that they played was ridiculous yet funny at the same time. But with more and more episodes being shown, the novelty of looking for the Xman was gone and it became less and less important which no doubt led to the demise of the show.
FAMOUS GAMES
Among the many games introduced in Xman, many become widely popular and cult favorites. Notable mentions include the Horse game, Na La Ra FlyPan game, Couple Selection and the most popular of them all, Dangyunhaji (Of Course!) game. Also loved the introduction part at the beginning and the dance stage. But it was a shame they removed the introduction part in latter episodes while it was repetition galore for the dance stage.
In the Horse Game, teams will be split into the attacking and defensive team. The defensive team would be required to become the horses for the attacking team to ride on them. Once the attacking team manages to get all their members on board, the first member of the attacking team to get on will scissors, paper, stone with the standing horse and the winner will get a point. If the defensive team crumbles before that, the attacking team will get a point and continues the next attack. If the attacking team falls, the defensive team will get a point and will attack the next round. Usually, there’s lots of drama in this one because of the unpredictability of the game.
Na La Ra FlyPan game is another of those which you can’t help but clap and play along with them. Its so damn addictive. Each team would sit opposite each other and then clap their hands in a beat while calling out a name with a number behind. For example, if I say Jong Kook 4, Jong Kook would have to say his name four times in sync with the beat and then call out the next name. If someone makes a mistake, their heads would be hit by a flying pan from the back. MC Yoo is usually pitched into battle and ends up causing the team he is helping points because his winning probability is less than 10%. Most often then not, the Xman is super active in carrying out his/her mission here.
Couple selection was where boys and girls on the same team tries to get coupled with each other so that they can play the couple game later together. It was fairly simple in the beginning as you just need to call out your desired partner’s name and that would be it. It later expanded to the girls performing to entice the guys and then the guys themselves too have to perform as well. It really became more and more big-scale with each episode as they pull out all the stops to impress the other person. Most notable were the dance performances like Haha doing the Turbo dances, Tony performing Candy dance, Yunho performing dance numbers, etc.
Dangyunhaji has been the star segment of the program since its introduction and it isn’t hard to see why. Each team sends one of their members to pit against the opposing team. The representative for each team will each say something usually an insult or something and the listening party must agree (Dangyunhaji!) in order for the game to proceed.
They must attempt to use all sorts of methods, using their wits and smarts to force the other party to end up speechless, and unable to say ‘Of course!’ to whatever verbal attacks used against him or her. This segment normally draws the most laughs here because artistes suffer a lot here. During this segment, the facing parties will do all sorts of cheap and underhanded things, be it spill each other’s rumours or gossips, try to romance each other, shouting, saying each other’s bad points, insults. All in the name of comedy, of course. Leave it to the most thick-skinned and imaginative celebrity to win this challenge!
Who can forget about the infamous porn cd incident involving Shin Jung Hwan and Kim Dong Wan (Shinhwa) and Andy (Shinhwa) having to accept the fact from Junjin that his body is the worst among Shinhwa members? The unforgettable triangle romance between Eric, Yoon Eun Hye and Kim Jong Kook? The classic Dangyunhaji from Pattaya between Lee Min Ki and Kim Jong Kook? The reunion and longest Dangyunhaji in history between Chae Yeon and Kim Jong Kook?
NOTABLE EPISODES
Xman #14
One of my favourite episodes because it was damn funny all the way. Great cast with Lee Seung Gi, Nam Sang Mi, Kim Jong Kook, Yoon Eun Hye, Chun Jung Myung, Kim Dong Wan, Kim Jong Min, Jang Young Ran. Comeback of Kim Jong Kook, Dong Wan trying his best not to let people know he is the Xman, Lee Seung Gi fighting with Ho Dong for Sang Mi affection, the porn cd incident between Jung Hwan and Dong Wan, etc.
Xman #20
This was the Shinhwa special as all 6 were present for this recording. Plenty of laughs and fun because you have ready-made chemistry between the 6 and it made for fun viewing. Eun Hye classic line to Eric in Dangyunhaji game, “I would like to go swimming in your eyes!” is so damn funny! Queen of Dangyunhaji, Lee Ji Hyun suffered her first loss to Kim Jae Dong.
Xman #23
Another fun episode which saw Micky Yoo Chun plus Yunho in the same episode for the first time. It was funny to see everyone showing care and affection for the two DBSK boys. The scandal of Eun Hye and Jong Kook making the newspaper headlines were also being created into something on the show making for great entertainment. Last MC appearance for Kim Jae Dong.
Xman #24
Special episode as all the previous Xman were all gathered together for the ultimate Xman. No one will ever forget the thrilling Dangyunhaji triangle romance between Eric, Eun Hye and Jong Kook. Gong Hyung Jin replaced Kim Jae Dong as the new MC.
Xman #25
Christmas special where the greasy Rimario greased up our screens with his oily demeanor. Kang Ho Dong and Kim Won Hee 10 year scandal was also played out in Dangyunhaji.
Xman #40
The legendary Pattaya special which remains the best overseas special and possibly the best episode of them all. Jong Kook making his comeback. Classic Dangyunhaji segment between Lee Min Ki and Kim Jong Kook. Three-way battle for Lee Jin by Lee Ji Hoon, Shin Hye Sung and Andy. Four-way battle for Yoon Eun Hye by Lee Min Ki, Park Joon Gyu, Haha and Kim Jong Kook. Outrageous couple dance between Park Kyung Lim and MC Yoo. Revival of Turbo by Haha begins here.
Xman #41
The kind of gay exchange between Kim Jong Kook and Sung Shi Kyung in the balloon game, many thanks to MC Yoo for fanning the flames. Insanely cool Dangyunhaji segment involving Stephanie, Eun Hye and Sung Shi Kyung revolving around Kim Jong Kook who was helluva funny in the background. Eun Hye rejects Jong Kook for the one and only time in couple selection much to everyone’s surprise.
Xman #42
The battle between Kang Eun Bi and Yoon Eun Hye for Kim Jong Kook remains a highlight here. Eun Bi was lambasted here for acting overly cute while Eun Hye couldn’t help but imitate her actions. Funny shouting contest between Ji Sang Ryul and Park Myung Soo.
Xman #44
Chuseok special as many classic moments were in this episode. Jong Kook imitating Haha dance which is a rarity as he performs hip-hop. This was Eun Hye’s final appearance before she left for the filming of Princess Hours.
Xman #45
Jong Kook performing a dance, dancing to the tune of “You’re Loveable.” This was the 100th episode of Xman and got the highest ratings ever. Eun Hye made a special cameo appearance at the end to say her final goodbye to everyone.
Xman #46
Goo Hye Sun interaction with Kim Jong Min was helluva funny. Kim Jong Min was especially great here, creating lots of comedy with his goofy antics.
Xman #47
Park Kyung Lim cemented her place in history after performing Ivy’s sexy dance, “Ah-Ha” in couple selection. This episode also saw the reunion of the original Turbo, Mikey and Jong Kook.
Xman #49
Official formation of Ha Myung Gook in Xman.
Xman #50
Longest and most touching reunion in Dangyunhaji between Chae Yeon and Kim Jong Kook.
Xman #52
Movie stars special. They stopped doing the introduction here, WHY???
Xman #54
Japan special where Kim Jong Kook made his final appearance before leaving for military service. Chae Yeon and Lee Seung Gi love line begun here as the PD attempted to make something happen between two permanent cast members.
Xman #57
Even though it was short, but they manage to create a highly impossible love line between Lee Sung Jin and Bada in the space of Xman #57 – #61 and became a great success. Great to see Bada not flinching one bit as Sung Jin keeps on denying by saying “Ah ne yooo….” which became his trademark quote.
Xman #59
Park Kyung Lim final episode as a MC. They showed a preview clip in Xman #58 showing Kyung Lim crying tearfully in a farewell scene. But it was not shown at all in Xman #59 or future episodes, WHY???
Xman #61
SBS actually managed to get young golf prodigy Michelle Wie onto the show. But as a result, this episode was butchered terribly as they cramped in her special segments together with regular programming.
Xman #62
Second Shinhwa special as they flew to Germany for Fifa World Cup 2006. There was something lacking compared to the earlier one they did back in Korea.
Xman #65
The beginning of a legend as Lee Jong Soo starts his journey here to become the person to deliver helluva mushy lines in Dangyunhaji. His antics would last right up till the final episode. Among the women he faced up against were Kim Ok Bin, Baek Ji Young, Chae Yeon and Park Shi Yeon.
Xman #68
The final overseas special as they flew to Hainan Island, China. Tried their best to re-create the magic of Pattaya but failed to do so. Ratings for the show remained the same. Rumors abound that Xman might be cancelled.
Xman #69
DBSK special as all the boys made an appearance. Kang Ho Dong made the surprise announcement that he was getting married. Chae Yeon also announced that this would be her final appearance as a permanent cast. It was also confirmed that Xman would be changing to a new format and Xman #70 would be the final one.
FAVOURITE SONGS
There were lots of songs being used in the program and it complemented the show very well. You can visit the Xman Songlist compiled by shortboy to download your favorite. The PDs were really good at matching the songs.
RATINGS
Ratings for Korean television programming comes from independant research companies like TNS Media Korea or AC Nielsen. The news media that reports the related news usually takes the ratings from TNS. But the actual difference between them isn’t that great. TNS ratings are further divided into Seoul region and nationwide. The ratings for Seoul are usually higher usually. The ratings shown below are nationwide ratings.
Ratings before Xman #40 could not be found and the same goes for Xman #41 and part one of Xman #42. If it’s not there, it means it was not rank high enough on that day to be listed.

As you can see from the above ratings, it was highly unusual for a variety show of this genre to have such an outstanding television rating. But with expectation, the ratings kind of tapered off thereafter. And it got worse and worse and in an attempt to arrest the slide, they even made adjustments to the couple selection which was a failure.
WATCHING IT
Because the variety show has ended, it is difficult to get hold of files especially from clubboxes. Its advisable to watch online at various online video sharing sites like Youtube, Veoh and Crunchyroll where you just need to search for “Xman” and a whole list of videos are available for you.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are we able to find full episodes for Xman with english subs?
It is not possible to find english subs for earlier episodes but you can find english subs starting from Xman #45 from Soompi forums until the last one. There are subs for earlier ones but not much. All can be found at Soompi forums.
Are we able to get english-subbed DVDs of Xman?
Highly unlikely since SBS has never released them on DVD and variety shows don’t get the same treatment. If you do find them selling on Ebay, they are likely to be self-burnt bootleg copies.
Will we see Eun Hye back in the show?
Highly unlikely because of her current A-List status thanks to Goong. Plus the show has ended.
What’s your ideal celebrity list?
Kang team
Lee Jin, Lee Ji Hyun, Hwang Bo, Lee Seung Gi, Lee Sung Jin, Shin Jung Hwan
Park team
Yoon Eun Hye, Chae Yeon, Kim Jong Kook, Kim Jong Min, Haha, Park Myung Soo
There’s so many others but that will be my ideal one, but sadly, in my dreams…
Why was it getting less and less funnier in later episodes?
I am not sure why, maybe they changed the PD for the show? Anyway, it was funnier in the beginning as always with most things because of the novelty factor. Plus you can’t deny the chemistry that certain celebrities had with each other. Plus the establishment of a permanent cast probably helped as well. You had Yoon Eun Hye, Lee Seung Gi, Lee Ji Hyun, Kim Jong Kook, Shin Jung Hwan, Lee Jin who worked extremely well with each other. Then later on, you had people like Ji Sang Ryul, Haha, Park Myung Soo. It was ideal if someone recorded more than one edition because it is easier for the PD to write scripts by creating relationships.
One example is the strength comparison between Kang Ho Dong and Yoon Eun Hye which would always be a recurring theme each time they meet each other in the course of a game. Makes for great viewing because you understand the history behind them.
Another classic was Lee Jong Soo. He appeared for the last few editions and was a star in Dangyunhaji using his mushy lines to perfection. Heck, they build him up so well that I would solely be watching for his appearance in Dangyunhaji each week.

Saying goodbye to Xman variety show
Coolsmurf Domain 
I like xman variety very much. But some scene have not subtitle in english. I would like to get xman in Pattaya with full sutitle english. Thank you.
You’re awesome! Thanks so much for the subs! Loved every subbed episode! (and I was searching around for Wondergirl info and stumbled upon your domain!) What a coincidence..lucky me! 🙂 Keep up the good work!
Ya many thanks for the subs ! Every single show was so funny xD
you said that on #54 comments that we can learn how to make the cloth thingy they wear on their heads at the hot spring…where is it?
also at what age does military service start? because KJK is 30 now..when xman was filming he’d be in his late 20’s already.
jenna, it’s mandatory for guys who are between 20 to 30 years old. they can hold it off until their late 20s which most guys do in their career.
Making your Korean Sauna Lamb Towel
Thanks for taking your time off to do the English subtitles for the Xman clips. 😀
And is there any way to obtain the Pattaya full version? I’m Chinese so I’m okay if the subtitle is in Chinese. 😀
Thank you 🙂
Seriously????
OMG OMG OMG.
THANK YOU. 😀
How much do I have to pay?
And I don’t mind if it’s just the PC version. That’s fine with me. 🙂
let’s converse in email. also have in mind 4 – 5 more episodes you want since i am filling it up on dvd. coolsmurf@gmail.com
I’ve sent you a email already (dated 2 days back) but I haven’t received a reply.
Maybe I sent to the wrong email xD
Hello, I just stumbled across your blog while randomly googling
Wondergirls and thought to myself, hmm ‘coolsmurf’ that sounds familiar! Then I realised you were the guy on youtube that subs XMAN!
Just like to say a BIG thank you for all your subs, XMAN is the best show ever and many of us wouldn’t be able to enjoy it as much without your hard work.
My favourite member was Kim Jong Min, he had me in stitches most of the time, so goofy! Its a shame hes gone to the army now.
Anyways thanks again for all your work on XMAN
I had no idea that you’re a guy. Your youtube page looks very… ladylike… and Goong (as a manhwa and drama) was more of a girl’s thing. Erm, sorry if that makes you feel bad… aaaanyways
Thanks for all the hard work you do subbing the videos on Youtube.
I got hook up with Korean stars/series/music due to X-man! Thanks to you anyway for all the good work in youtube there :o)
Too bad dat u dont have Xman in Eng sub!!!
I love the games on Xman, they’re so funny.
I hope someone can also sub Heroine 6, it’s a lot funnier for me.
Especially their “mouse-catching game” or whatever you call it.
By the way, I love your BLOG coolsmurf.
Why do you use that name? I’m just really curious.
@FimFim, glad u like my blog. generally korean variety was great fun to watch. i like heroine 6 and the mouse catching game which was addicitive, but sometimes they tend to talk a lot and gets boring, wat to do, with 6 girls!
u can click “about” at the top of this page to see why i used coolsmurf, pretty lame!
hey coolsmurf…ur really cool. keep up the good work. nways, was there any news that xman will be on air again since its gaining popularity becoz of u? hehe….

n n0w i cant seems 2 st0p..huhuhu…k0rean variety sh0ws sure r funny n entertain’in..
thanks again~~
I think it became less funny during the latter episodes mainly cos they were focusing on performances rather than personalties. The couple selection became a mini concert, the of course games were draggy, every time a guy and girl met it became a romance, everyone started using narrative attacks instead of short witty comebacks. The whole atmosphere of down to earth celebs playing games and having fun was gone, it became more like a competition. Even the color of the set was irritating. When the celebs who were the foundation of X-man left, it just collapsed. There would always be new shows to watch but X-man had something special than one would never forget and no matter how many times i watch it, i still find it hilarious!
Stumbled upon this site while searching for some K-stuff. Great site! Thanks for sharing, Coolsmurf.
I LURVE the Xman show. Could watch and rewatch the different episodes for hours and hours. Have been searching high and low for the complete set, so your offer is such great news! Will drop you a note separately for details on logistics. Thanks again.
Dude…finally I found your site!
Never thought that you have one even though I saw your name everywhere hahaha…
I found it after surfing around Wonder Girls blogs.
One question: What do you do outside uploading KPop related stuffs?
Hahaha…I mean you have these wonderful stuffs man. I don’t have to go to Korea…you save me some airplane tickets.
Are you in Korea? How did you get all so much of this?
Great art work!
i was wondering why your name “coolsmurf” sounded so familiar….
YOUR THE ONE THAT HAD BEEN SUBBING AND UPLOADING ALL THOSE XMAN EPISODES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ahaha…well seeing i have the opportunity, i would like to say a big THANK YOU!!
keep up the good work~
@wunder, it’s hard to sustain and every word you say make sense really.
@eloise, do tell me your nick in ur email so I don’t miss it.
@aoikage, better late then never. i am not in korea just resourceful.
Do you know of any way of finding a full list of all x-men? I mean, there must be over 100 and I don’t know if I can even remember ten. I need it for a Livejournal blogcrew. Nothing terrible important, I know, but I’d like the list all the same.
🙂
@honeychurch, Xman thread @ Soompi, they have a full list of the guests for each episode and also lists the Xman as well (select to highlight the text, revealing the xman)
THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the subs, info, links etc 🙂
U R SO COOL Alvin SMURFS 🙂
like i said before, you are the coolest smurf around…
thank you for the detailled description… and the MUSIC!
I`ve trying to get my hand on Turbos “twist king” for a time now… turns out esnips doesn`t have everything… or i just suck at searching.. 😛
… i woud`ve never even known about xman and kim jong kook if it wasn`t for you…
thanks.. i`ll be sending you a request for the xman episodes that you have…
i’ve been watching your videos of x-man show.
thanks for subbing
just curious if in any way your selling any videos of x-man or other korean stuff?!?
Just want to express my massive gratitude for all the subs!
My friend showed me one episode, the lovers special one with YEH, Eric and KJK, and I was hooked! These clips have made my day; is there a completely subbed Pattaya episode? I love Dangyunhaji, #40 had some of the best!Thanks for all the laughs!
Hi. nice site. i watched most of your videos on youtube especially the “of course”. extremely funny! i was wondering if you happened to know the song on the episode 69 during chae yeon’s couple selection. it was her last day on x-man and it seemed like a dedication to KJK. i think it was sung by KJK, but i’m not sure. hehe. =D
Oh it’s episode 152 #69 haha. sorry
@trina, i actually written it in the video description. anyway, “Goodbye Yesterday” and “Black Cat”, both are Turbo songs.
hi coolsmurf. i was wondering if you would be able to renew some of the song links? one step by mose is already expired >.< thanks.
i missed Xman
hi there,
i wanna ask what’s the title of the song of Xman 54 in Japan that used in dance party segment?
kindly reply, thanks
woww awesome job explaining the show … i love this show but haven’t seen too many episodes.. i definitely will check out all the episodes you recommended slowly.. hopefully they’re all subs.. also from now on i’ll just refer people to this article whenever i see questions about the games ( i see a lot of confused people on youtube, or in forums lol )
Thank you so much coolsmurf for subbing Xman. I really had fun watching because of you. More power. ^^
I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Xman. well the old one. the new one is disappointing. they should put back Xman. bc kim jong kook is back. ^.^v

i wanna thank u 4 all ur hardwork on subbing korean videos especially “X-man”…….ur “we got married” cuts were awesome…ur channel had been d source of my happiness ever since i started on youtube……….unfortunately, ur acc. in youtube got suspended….i really do hope tht u’ll make a comeback & still update us abt KJK & YEH & others…..
***more power coolsmurf 🙂
i’ll wait 4 ya && don’t b long ^___^
I watched all the ep. that ur reccommen and it’s was so funny.
Thanks a lot.
THANKQ for all ur hard work in subbing the korean tv shows, like Xman & WGM. Too bad they have suspended! Just recently notice cause I can’t view most of my fav on youtube! LOL Let us know when ur back up on another website!
Alvin, is really coolsmurf2 your 2nd account??? Why don’t u reply us at least a single dot. We’re worried.
Keep on fighting! bao zhong!
you and other subbers should be recognized for what you do. most people don’t realize it but by easing the nuisances of language difference, people like you actually pave the way for others to move across what they thought were barriers and divisions but need not be.
i’m still upset about the termination of your account in YouTube. you bridge gaps where others can’t and it’s a shame SBS cannot appreciate that. i truly pity them for their narrow views and conservative ways because they may have gained their rights back, but they lost a substantial number of audience along the way.
argghh..i really really miss your channel..
give me time to re-up those videos that i had back up, for you to be able to dl it..
im choosing the right hosting site..
it’s payback time..^^
hai coolsmurf’s,i’m tb
in youtube my name is 0710098
couple of days ago i open youtube to download xman videos again,but i realise your name is vanish,
i only download from your videos,cause i’m from indonesia n your translate is the best,
i miss your xman variety show expecialy YUH n KJK, DBSK.
can you give me your friendster address n where i can download your videos again?
thanx ….
you are the best…
@TB, I’m afraid everything’s gone after YT suspended the account. This is sad but true.
is this the only place i can talk to you?
can you give other?
how bout fiendster?
@TB, I don’t use friendster much.
oooohhhhhhh,,,
i really2 miss your xman chanel
where i must have it now?
heheheh….
have any idea?
hai,
is there any news bout Eun Hye n Jong Kook?
There will not be anymore Xman on my channel. no news about YEH or KJK. it’s going to be difficult.
would you know if eric was dating anyone in particular during the whole course of xman?
Unlikely Eric was dating anyone on Xman since he was only on it twice.
i mean was he single back then or was he already romantically involved with someone (not necessarily from the show) during that time? i’m curious since i don’t really know when those xman episodes with him on it were aired. thanks, CS! ❤
maybe park shi yeon? I don’t know. I don’t really keep track of his love life.
oh that girl.
and btw, i think eric’s guested on xman thrice 🙂
hey coolsmurf,
I know its a long shot, but couldn’t u upload some xman vids on megaupload or whatever xD
ahhh…I miss all those videos
an amazing channel just killed like that
U only got suspended right? Will they ever bring you back?
I don’t keep them. But there are many of my videos all over the net. A collection can be found here http://kr.youtube.com/user/yupitsback which I authorized.
…I’m happy some of them got saved! =D
I hope you wouldn’t you mind if I downloaded them for myself?
sure go ahead.
i don’t really know bout YEH, how old is she now? so,the love story bout YEH n KJK is only for xman?
hei, u know “I love You” by Tim? i’m searching the lyric now but i dont know what the korean of the title n what Tim, Hwang Yong Min?
plz could u tell me which episode from xman bi rain was in it ?
so if u know could u send 2 me the number of the episode plz
thx for your time
take care
bye
@TB, YEH is born in 1984. love story is only for xman or outside depending on how you view it. here’s the link for Tim’s I Love You, http://aheeyah.com/lyrics/tim/tim_1_tran.htm
@sam, Bi (Rain) was never on Xman.
Coolsmurf,
I’m just wondering whether you would do (I mean upload & subbing) other Korean variety shows like
“Hi-5” or “Come to Play”.
Since “Xman” & “Loveletter” got terminated, I found there’s no more exciting variety shows, life becomes so boring because I can no longer have a good laugh watching them after work. The “1N2D” shows, in my opinion, aren’t interesting as I hope to be.
Thanks!
@manadononi3, have no intention of doing either. My initial aim was to do cuts and not whole shows. I’m sorry. but reality shows like 1N2D are dominating at the moment in Korea. There’s nothing we can do. It’s quite good.
Damn! your xman videos are really cool including your subs! those are the best subs ive ever seen!
Hi! I’m from Singapore too! (:
Just wanna ask, is it still possible to ask you for some of the chinese subbed Xman videos?
Hi,
Is there anyway I can download some of the X-Man episodes? Such as episodes 57 and 58? Here’s my email address philip.pthuynh@gmail.com If you have them please please may have I have those clips? Thanks a lot!
i really want to watch xman #44 eventhough it has no subs. if i’m not mistaken, you’re the only one that have that episode in youtube. when i’m trying to look for it, your account in youtube has been suspended. it kinda make me sad since i really wanna watch it so much coz it’s eun hye’s final episode before shooting Goong.. can you help me where to find that episode so i can watch it? 😦
hi(: i was just wondering can i request the whole episodes of x man #14-54 w/ english subtitles ? or do you know where i can get them ? thanks(: i really really really want them. lol
thanks coolsmurf(: yeah i have a soompi account but megaupload doesn’t work for me. buh im trying out the clubbox links(: thanks anyways(:
Hi.. i accidently search for your name because of x-man on youtube and i ended here.
Do you have x-man 40-45 with subs? i love the pattaya special and KJK & YEH also. I like to buy if you have a CD/DVD.
Please email me because all of x-man has been delete (for it is license i think)
Keep up the goodwork bro
hey alvin. just a heads up. i sent you an email regarding the xman and wgm collection you have =)
I heard Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye will be re-united with KJK joining Family Outing. I hope you sub the show =) I missed seeing the two.
I loved this show… but never saw the frying pan game… wasn’t aware of the show then.
I’ve seen my local Korean restaurant play DVDs of X-Man… no subs… should borrow them and burn them. Hehe!
hai cool,
i have something to ask you,
now,i’m really interested in one song,
this song is the song that kjk sing for yeh in xman pattaya couple selection,but not “i love you” by Tim.
i don’t know how to write it in korea but in english it sound like this,” i love you,,,i really love you,,,i am living because of you,,,please don’t forget it.”
hope you can help me by send that song to me, you can send it to tb_mindfreak_master@yahoo.co.id
i really2 hope you can help me,,,
thanx a lot before….
hwa yo bi, queen of x-man…

Yes. . . I agree to those last comments, please I am really tired checking around every day where to watch the deleted xman episodes. . .please advise soonest where can we watch it again and again and again. Thank you very much.
Guys, I’ve been downloading all of the Xman lately. I probably have 80% out of the 155 episodes or so. 🙂 You can download them at http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=35&st=19800 You need a soompi account. Also, this page is for the full links and updated links. The first page will have the subtitles for you to download as well.
It took me forever to actually find this. Idk how I could have missed it in the first place.
Maybe b/c the first place I ever saw Xman was from coolsmurf.
Hi Coolsmurf! I loved watching Xman via youtube! Wonderful work!!! 🙂 It’s sad they took it out! I loved the whole Haha and KJK and YEH episodes. They cracked me up big time!
I wanted to get “We Got Married” with english subs but I don’t know where to download it from. Is there a site I can g to? 🙂
@Maimunky – Thanks for the soompi site! 🙂
Can please list the xman episodes with YEH, I wishes to download them…
Will you be re-uploading the the vids on Youtube soon?? o.o
I REALLY REALLY wanna watch de pattaya special ep ):
Hope you can upload it soon, or is there anywhre i can download it or view it?
Thx in advance ^^
OMGGGosh i want to watch X-man soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly email me please or tell me when u gonna upload the videos!
Hi. I was just wondering if you have any plans to re upload any of the Xman episodes you may still have. I adore the chemistry between YEH and KJK
thnxu! i love xman! wish it was on air again D:
&guyz..u can download it from Soompi
I love to watch X-Man in all episodes that have lovely Shinhwa in them. Where can I find those episodes?
Hey Coolsmurf, you used to have a top episode list on here with a list of guest names… whatever happened to that list?
hey, this is cool but i wonder how i can watch this whole full episode with eng subs. can some one tell me please and can you give me a link that i can watch with eng subs.
i think i’m to late to watch whole episode and i think they delete it, so i can’t watch it . thanks ^-^
sorry…. how can i download the xman ep??
Hey! Omg, coolsmurf, what a nostalgic and iconic name =) I’m sorry to ask this of you, but I see others doing it so I’ll take my chances… Would it be possible to get the subbed episodes from you?
If not, that’s fine and thank you anyway.
I used to watch all x-man episodes at soompi. but now I cannot access it anymore, there seem to have a problem with the domain. Can you please tell where I can watch the complete x-man episodes again. I was patiently watching it although there is no translation, just the mere actions from the guests makes me feel happy especially on the episodes where YEH was present. It relieves stress just by merely watching it. Can you help me, find the site where I can watch the complete x-man episodes again? Thanks and more power.
hi…where can i download this x-man and love letter????please…do you full episode with eng sub????i really love to watch it again..help me

Hiya Coolsmurf…
Firstly, ‘CLAP”CLAP”CLAP” for your narrative on the XMAN and especially the POWER COUPLE; YEH & KJK………..
I have to admit how shallow minded I was coz I wanted YEH to be with JJH after watching GOONG and I did not want to give KJK a chance at all….
But, after watching them on XMAN which by the way is one of the BEST Variety show I have ever seen be it in the WEST or EAST, I admit defeat and now am the BIGGEST fan of KJK and YEH…
Now thats LOVE…KJK was in love and I believe he still is with YEH.
KJK is so transparent, he coudl not or would not hide his feelings for her…and i really hope YEH reciprocate.
SO, I would like to ask you, if you if by any chance do you know anything about the couple lately. The last I have read on them was when YEH went to KJK’s concert back in 2009. Do you know if anything was reported about them?
soooooo…where can i download it?????please give me hint..tq
hello all, anyone knows the song’s title on this video
because i like it so much.. thanks anyway 😀
so am i even though it’s old. not to me. im still laughing watching this. where can we download this? thanks a lot

Hi there, I am also looking for English subs of all X-man and New X-man episode. If you have the soft subs it would be pleasure if you can share it. Since the megaupload dead, I can not download it in Soompi. really appreciate if you can. thank you in advance
Hey coolsmurf,
Your subbing made me appreciate some of the games in the X man variety show. I had actually started watching Xman because of YEH. But the subbing in the Shinhwa specials (YEH-Eric-KJK) and from #39-#45 was awesome. Thank you for taking the efforts. As I can see you have got comments from the past 5 years. Truly commendable on your efforts 🙂
Does anybody remember what episode it was when Park Kyung Lim was dancing I think to a Britney Spears song while wearing a red dress?
Anyone has episodes 55 and 56? PLease re-upload them thanks.
can someone tell me where i can find xman episode 17 to 55 english sub pls
hi coolsmurf! if it’s not too much could you kindly repost your videos of xman in youtube please please? there are a lot of people looking for xman videos and we would truly appreciate your effort if you could upload it again. i prefer watching your videos since it’s hard subbed. thank you very much ^_^
Yes, I agree. we missed xman episodes so much, especially those with YEH. . . please do repost them… thanks a lot.
i’m looking for an ep where Tablo raps an Eminem song as well as the ep when Brian sings a whole new world… they might be the same ep im not sure
hi coolsmurf! I am looking for kjk and yeh episodes w english subtitles.. i dont mind paying for it.. please please upload those episodes or send me! thanks
hi, may i know if you still have the subbed xman?
Thanks alooot Coolsmurf … still remember you when I see Xman

where can i watch this variety show again? i really love it, help me please
Hi,
Please help me to find Xman ep 98 18-09-05 and ep 99 25-09-05 … I searched a lot but couldn’t find it, and going crazy now, pls help me….
hi Abhi..you can see it at kshowonline.com…
Do you have early episode with english sub..at kshowonline.com there is no english sub for early episode
hey nice blog
Hey Coolsmurf, do you still have the softsubs for downloading of the X-Man show?
Would appreciate it as I can only find your subs with short 3 minute clips.
Thank so much 🙂
@Jacob, unfortunately, they are a part of history now. I never did full episodes anyway, just short clips.
I remember first watching Xman when I first got into kpop. My first episode/clips were from when DBSK was on there as they were one of the first groups that I started listening to in 2008/2009. And then I fell in love with Yoon Eun Hye and started watching as much of it as I could. I still remember how Lee Jin said Sung Shi Kyungs name in the Xman 41. I have you to thank for all the fond memories I have of this show like a whole lot of all nighters and introducing me to some iconic moments. So Thank You for subbing this when you did not have to. I have you to thank for me finding Shinhwa as well and for finding YEH dramas and knowing HaHa, Kim Jong Kook, Kang Ho Dong, Yoo Jae Suk, Park Kyunglim, and Park Myungsoo. It helped with watching other variety shows.
I also can’t forget to mention the water games in the Pattaya Special were amazing. I loved the music they put behind Ho Dong because it reminded me of Tekken. It also introduced me to Hwangbo
