"Youth Documentary, Twenty Again" broadcast the behind-the-scenes of popular MBC sitcom "New Non-stop" that aired in the year 2000.

Park Kyung-rim, Zo In-sung, Jang Nara, Yang Dong-geun, Kim Jung-hwa, Lee Min-woo, and Jung Tae-woo were the main cast members of "New Non-stop". Zo In-sung and Park Kyung-rim met as actor and MC of a movie presentation and they talked about old times over dinner.

Zo In-sung was a rookie when he was in "New Non-stop". Before that, he had only been in one drama and appeared in "New Non-stop" as a friend, but he was noticed by viewers right away.

Zo In-sung said, "I was only twenty-one years old then. I used to get paid 200,000 won per episode for five days of filming. That was 4,000,000 won a month and I was left with 2,000,000 after splitting it with the agency".

"I could do many things with that money. It was important to me that I had a fixed income. I thought I was successful and my parents were happy, too".

To Park Kyung-rim he said, "You were the best. Everyone wanted you and you saved me". Park Kyung-rim replied, "I think those who work hard for it get what they deserve and that's what you got".
