Seoul 1982

Howdy, my name is Hwang Jung-min I'm glad to meet ya

HWANG Jung-min UHM Jung-hwa Howdy, my name is Hwang Jung-min I'm glad to meet ya

HWANG Jung-min UHM Jung-hwa I came all the way from Busan and my dream is to become the president

I came all the way from Busan and my dream is to become the president

Stop laughing kids It's not nice!

Let's see where should Jung-min sit?

Yes, you can sit right there next to Jung-hwa

I object to him being my partner

I think it is undemocratic for him to sit next to me just

because the seat happens to be empty

Oh, really?

Seok-hoon

Yes?

How about you sit next to Jung-hwa And Mi-jeong sits next to Jung-min?

I object

I don't think it is democratic to change mates without consent

I second that motion

State your opinions

I think we should follow the teacher's instruction

Spring of 1982 in Seoul

I encountered democracy in a deeply meaningful way

why are you following me?

What?

Stop follow me!

Just because I'm behind you, that doesn't mean I'm following you

Then go in front of me

why are you following me?

I wasn't following you This is my house

what?

This is my house!

Hi, sweetie You're back from school?

Mom!

I heard the landlord has a daughter That must be her

why are you forcing me against my will? This is not democratic

Democracy my ass!

You're 7, if anyone asks Got that?

Mom! It's hot! My skin's gonna burn off

Count to 100 before you get out That'll get you ready for scrubbing

Get in there!

I saw it very clearly A cute tiny pee pee

A body part completely different from mine

Oh, no!

Still running your mouth

You still haven't learned your lesson Get up!

Of course not.

But the company is saying you neglected your duties

And I'm here to prove that is a lie

Yes, but the situation is a bit

murky

Are you looking down at us?

Of course not

I wasn't like this until I joined the army

To the side!

So you were reading a novel and the male character died suddenly

You were so shocked that you want to sue the author

Male character died of cervical cancer

You're that punk from Jeju, aren't you?

She's all hyped up again

Looks like it

Ma'am, you need to provide the evidence

that you live in this address

The building doesn't have a permit So we couldn't write up a lease agreement

Yes of course I understand

But we can't start a lawsuit without evidence

what can we do?

We're starting something new tomorrow So don't be late

Alrighty!

What are you staring at?

Company dinner tonight we have two new trainers

Look at that chest way bigger than yours

I didn't grow taller because my boobs weigh me down

Good for you

They're really spoiling my eyes

when I'm used to watching a rotten squid at home

How's your squid?

Limp and wilted

Throw it out It stinks!

For whose benefit?

Hello there

Two blackbean noodles

Noodles everyday Did you bring a lot of radish?

How can you eat so much of this?

Doesn't it turn your shit yellow?

Are you giving me attitude?

Anyway, I need to collect the bill since your business might go belly up

Belly up?

Who talks of such nonsense?

This guy said that

Fancy badge to show you're a member of the assembly

I need this or I get kicked off They'll think I'm a peddler

- Blockbuster Entertainment - Yes!

By the director of Blockbuster Entertainment

Blockbuster Entertainment? That company is famous

That director tried to cast her

But this idiot married squid instead and screwed up her life

That's enough Cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Hello. Dad?

It's me Can you hear me okay?

Do you have some money by any chance?

Some 'money,' not somebody.

About 10 grand?

You don't have it

why don't you have any money?

That's right Because I never gave you any

That's correct

Dad! I'll send you some money tomorrow

Talk to you soon

- Your dad doesn't have any money? - What the?

If you have no money, you can't be a dad, huh?

What?

You fucking bastard

Who pushed me?

That alley is scary

You're free to enter but not free to leave

what's going on?

Hey!

Punks!

What are you doing there? Aren't you the delivery guy?

Little brats!

Get lost

what? Get lost?

Did your parents teach you to talk like that?

We don't have any parents

Who doesn't have parents?

Then did a pig give birth to you?

Watch your mouth, man

No, you watch it Smoking at your age

makes your bones will rot and you won't grow

Put it out

There are excpetions, of course

But you have so much to dream about

Dreaming is what you do when you're sleeping

Don't come closer

I can hear you fine

Furthermore

You bastards!

Come here! Wait!

Come here, you brats!

Once an artist, forver an arist

You should follow your dreams to live a meaningful life

what the hell are you trying to say?

Aw, my hair

Here I was gonna try it on my own but couldn't muster up the courage

what? Superstar K?

Oh, please

Are you nuts? How old are you? You'll be a laughing stock

why not?

Madonna's over 50 and she's still a sexy diva

That's in America

So?

What have we got to lose? We owe it to ourselves

Come on I love you

Crazy bitch

That's nice

who is it?

We're from Cho Dong Daily

I don't need newspaper delivery

who's doing a prank on Saturday morning?

Aren't you Hwang Jung-min, the subway hero? It's you, isn't it?

Well uh... Cheol!

Cheol!

Why? What's up?

Open the door

Mr. Hwang! Please! An interview!

How do you feel? A comment please!

Think about it

You want to spend the rest of your life looking after the squid?

What did Hiddink say? I'm still hungry!

Dreams come true!

Shut up and eat

You think you're still the Red Mesh of wangshipri?

We're old and washed-up

Then I'm going to enter by myself

I know you want it too

Is it a "go" or not?

Why did you jump down despite the danger?

- I didn't realize it then - Isn't that your husband?

- What? - But when I went down

- Huh? - He was drunk and so heavy

- It is him - Thought I was gonna die

Why did you disappear so quickly?

I had to pee

He stands up for the helpless in need like us

For free?

Uh... I think so

I was surrounded by 17 gangsters

But he appeared out of nowhere and we fought them off

One (beep) and (beep) so (beep)

A civil rights lawyer shows the light of hope for the discriminated

A real hero for our generation who can't stand the sight of injustice

Mr. Hwang was sharing his love with the world

without showing it off

YTM News

Park Jin-hyeon for KBN News

And people clapping...

Are you crazy? Why did you do that? Could've gotten yourself killed

I told you Someone pushed me

Should've thought of your family

what if you got yourself killed?

You know I just can't ignore a person in need

You got yourself into this mess because you guaranteed your friend's loan

why bring that up again?

Because he is struggling with rent payment

A lawyer can't come up with 10 thousand?

I have it

I can get another loan

I'll get it for you By when?

Early next week

No, daddy

Let's eat Yeon-woo This meat looks good

Eat lots of meat

Don't you have any pride?

It's not like we're strangers

They think I'm enjoying a life of luxury being a lawyer's wife

There you go again

You just wait and I'll give you the lifestyle you deserve

with what? You save a person and do we get anything out of it?

Civil rights laywer?

Our family's right is in the shithole

That's enough

I had it up to my neck appearing on the news and all the racket

I bravely save someone's life and get no compliment from you

Don't save a stranger Save your family!

Attorney Hwang!

You nagging wife!

Be quiet!

Sorry sweetie Go back to sleep

Current mayor Im of the Reform Party has 35% of the vote

Candidate Park of Uniform Party has 20%

And candidate Kang of our Democratic Party has 15%

Our party is nothing but an also-ran

we continue like this and it'll be the end of our party

So we need a special something to draw the attention of the public

what are you talking about?

The current practice is for party members to elect the candidate

If we get participation of the public

where the winning candidate is elected by the public, we may get 50% of voter support

because that public nomination will gather voters' interest

But we have no potential candidate other than Assemblyman Kang

Then why doesn't the chairman enter the race?

That won't work

why not?

Raise your hands if you haven't falsified your residence

Lower your hands if you have tax issues

Assemblyman Son

Yes?

You got into a lot of shit because of the sexual harassment accusation

The trouble I had to go through to shut up the press

what's so funny? Didn't you avoid army duties due to tuberculosis?

And you smoke like a chimney

Pathetic

Assemblyman Jang

Do we have anyone fresh?

Jung-min likes this And this, too

Can I take this as well?

And this? Butjust this much

Take it all

Thanks

what's this, sweetie? Your future dream?

Yes, it's homework

Your dream is to become a civil servant?

Yes, government worker is the best

How about something more ambitious?

Like a pilot or female president?

Life's no stroll in the park

what?

Mom's dream was to be a singer but look at her now

I don't want to live like her

Mom's dream was to be a singer but look at her now

I don't want to live like her

Think about it

You wanna waste your whole life looking after the squid?

What's that?

It's nothing!

Application for Superstar K?

- It's nothing - what stupid thing are you doing again?

What? 5 ft 5 in and 100 Ibs?

Lying about the weight is the most pathetic thing

I'm going to lose it

why don't you lose it first?

Why don't you say you're single?

I was gonna do that

who'll think you're single when you're so old and wrinkled?

Men still follow me when I go out

- You don't know what you're talking about - Follow you?

To say "Do you believe in the way?"

Screw you!

- Superstar K - Myeong-ae, it's me

- It's a "go" all the way. Alright! - Who'll do the dishes?

Superstar K? Who'll do the cleaning?

Am I your maid? You wanna die?

Straighten your back

what? TV station? The Solomon's Judgment show?

Throwing first pitch at the game? Sorry but can't fit it into the schedule

For those that cheat on their spouse

You need to file for a divorce and petition for distribution of property

Hang them out to dry

Move the legs

Poverty and disability is nothing to be ashamed of

Giving up is more embarrassing

"Civil rights lawyer, the hero of subway" Giving up is more embarrassing

Even when everyone says its over

"Hwang Jung-min Fan blogs immensely popular" If you don't give up, then it's not over

You can start again if you don't give up

Give it all you've got!

A tsunami of emotions hitting us

"Most popular search: Hwang Jung-min"

what's the update?

Son is under suspicion of tax evasion?

There's no one to run for mayor?

I understand

Hello

Thank you for having us here

Your new dance

Riding the tune of

modern melody

He worked for legal team of the Unemployment

Office and started his private practice in 2008

As for military service, after enlisting in 1993

He was relieved of active service after 26 months

I like that part

Married in 1999 and has one daughter

He lives in a rented 800 sq ft house in Beon-dong, north of the river

Renting a place in north of the river? I thought he was a lawyer

- That's correct - Is he stupid or what?

Okay, I'm getting the picture now

But can a brave citizen get in the ring with black belt politicians?

Do you remember?

The guy who filled the whole country with passionate screams for democracy

Leader of the democratic movement and courageous citizen, Hwang Jung-min

Once we get him to enter our party election

the attention of 10 million Seoul citizens will be on us

It's gonna be a TV drama How about it?

I'll put up a fair fight no matter who runs against me

I think we'll get a good rating

And what about his wife?

Rhythm everybody Rhythm

That was entertaining

You're not the youngest contestants

we think age is nothing but a number

I'll say 'yes'

I think you have potential

She'll be 60 by the time she realizes her potential

Ms. UHM Jung-hwa?

Yes

You wrote 5 ft 5 and 100 Ibs?

You don't look like it

Ms. Lee, do you have to be a singer?

I think you're more suited to be a comedian

Excuse me?

I'm saying this for your own good

we were

born to be singers And comedian with my looks?

We really wanna be singers

Yes

I'm sorry but I'll say 'no.'

This is so delicious

Cheers!

It's burning

Here, I'll do it

Our days of hardship is over

From now you can live a life of comfort with all the money he's going to earn

Are you saying a woman's gottta stay home and do housework?

Of course not I meant you've been through a lot

Eat up

This meat should be cooked lightly

- Eat lots, sweetie - Okay

Sweetie, what's eating your mom?

She didn't pass the audition Said judges were full of it

I see

It's alright, honey!

The mighty Ms. UHM won't let something like that bother her

Don't cry baby Come here

My baby That's enough

what did I tell you?

It's not that easy

when you got no talent

You were deceived because people said you're good

So wake up and smell the coffee

You can't change a person's fate...

You'll meet your doom tonight

Five, six, seven, eight

Left, right, left, right

Up, up

Five, six, seven, eight

It's Dorothy now

Get it right if you don't want to be Mi-ja again

Early stage of pregnancy

You didn't know I'll be on my way

How can you get pregnant just before our debut?

Do you know how much we invested on you?

Who's the bastard?

Director, I think uh...

Please forgive me

why are you apologizing?

You!

- I love her - You imbeciles! Love, my ass!

We're going to show you a clip of Superstar K

We think you'll enjoy Please run the clip

Superstar K Season 3 is talk of the town

There was group that didn't go through because of the wrong partner

The splendid Ms. UHM Jung-hwa

Please try your luck again next season as a solo act

The Shinchon Madonna?

Were you watching them?

They went behind my back and secretly had an affair

Quiet! What are you gonna do? Without our main vocal?

There is someone I have in mind

Beggars can't be choosers

Bring her in!

Yes boss!

Madonna, how long has it been?

You haven't changed a bit

I saw Superstar K And you still got it

I got dropped

It was like a bunch of roses in bloom

Or gladiolus?

Glamor ripening into maturity

Thank you

I saw it 20 years ago at the Shinchon night club

She's got something

I thought it's now time for voluptuous girls like that

I still remember the days

You make me blush

Intensity is different

Entertainers' blood thickens with time

So how about we burn thick blood together?

Talentless groups in their teens reign in the music industry

But we'll breakthrough with talented mature adult stars

The Dancing Queens!

Can't believe it

what do you have I don't have?

I said we have to stick together

No doubt

So I should decline, right?

I didn't even tell him I was married

I'll just say no

It's not right

You can't fool me

It's written on your face You're dying to do it

It's not true

what do you do when you wake up in the morning?

Get the kid ready for school Send your husband to work

Then dishes, cleaning and laundry

wrestle with other housewives all day

The only happiness comes from weeping while watching trashy TV dramas

Same shit everyday Think anything'll change in a year?

Should I try it?

What should I tell him later?

Shit your load first Then what's he gonna say?

Ask for a divorce?

What should I do?

Just pathetic Get away from me

Come in

Perm in the middle

She's Lari as in Nalari, the party animal

She's from Colorado

Came to Korea about 3 years ago

One on the left is Eve

Because she went to a night school

On the right is Linda

She's always drawing her eyebrows

Is she really single? She's got a belly

That's because I just ate

That's it? Is she connected?

What do you mean? She's got skills

Since we don't have a lot of time Do we have to include her?

Do you think that old hag can catch up?

Ketchup? Like Heinz?

Can she keep up?

Of course. If I can give birth

I mean although I haven't given birth

I'll give it all as if I'm giving birth

That's the right attitude!

Okay then Can we see that talent?

Come om! Baby!

Old hag!

Chore for the newbie

You need to exercise to get rid of that belly

Exercise hard Squeaky clean

Hey!

What?

See you tomorrow

You too

Have a nice day

That's my replacement?

They were just dying to kick me out

She and Director Lee must be something

I won't back off

Then what are you gonna do?

I'll find her secret

I'll rip off her skin!

Today's first kick will be done by someone who loves FC Seoul

Our hero of subway, courageous citizen

Hwang Jung-min will do the honor

Get ready

Shot!

Goal!

Our Hwang Jung-min's grown up a lot

Jong-chan

what's going on?

Did you see that?

Yeah, you suck at soccer

No joke That was nerve wrecking

5 to 0

The mayor of Seoul? Are you kidding?

The mayor's office is no joke

Do I look like I'm joking?

You're pulling my legs

I can't do politics because I'm not good with my fists

what does that got to do with politics?

Didn't you get into a brawl at the assembly

when they tried to pass the budget?

6 to 0

Please be selective with your choice of words

Brawl? Do you think we're gangsters?

Did I say something wrong?

Along with K1 and UFC

They call our politics the third ultimate fighting

So why should I put my foot in that bucket of shit?

Yes bucket of shit!

That's why politics attracts shit flies

But is that the way it should be?

Then why don't you change it?

Your father was a member of the assembly

You passed the bar on your first attempt Youngest member of the assembly

what credentials!

I thought I could change the system

But when I entered politics

I found it was full of those people

who were intelligent but have no heart

But you're different

How so?

You got a warm heart

You rose up from the bottom

You give people hope

Your life is inspirational

Aren't you tired after doing aerobics all day?

I gained a bit of weight

You sure you don't want any?

Nope

Don't act immature and say "please just one bite"

I quit ramen

You quit ramen? More believable than a pile of bullshit

Shut up

Hot

Should've put an egg in there

why? Want a bite?

Nope

what an appetite

Jung-hwa

Do you feel hope when you see me?

What?

Nevermind

what are you talking about?

Just hurry up and eat

Please eat a lot

Thank you

Jung-hwa's complexion improved because you're doing so well

- Really? - Yes, dear

Pullling your weight for a change

Yes

You know that Ohsung Group where my friend is the president

Yes, I've heard of it

They're looking for an in-house counsel

I talked about you and he showed interest

It's more prestigious work than dealing with bums on the street

Daddy, he's not a street peddler

You're being rude

Though he passed the bar

And he's a bit famous now

But Koreans soon forget

You still think he's that little kid living in the room we rented out

what are you doing?

That's right

But a lot of people are asking for me

where?

Well, the democratic party proposed I run for a local election

You're giving up yourjob to be a local district official?

So many people get washed up after getting involved in politics

A bit higher than local district

Then city official?

A bit higher

County official?

Just a tiny bit higher

Then

- City mayor? - Mayor

- Daddy, meat - Okay

Take a piece of meat from the mayor

Just a bit higher

City mayor

Just a bit higher

City mayor

Just a bit higher

why were you hiding something so important?

I wasn't hiding I was gonna tell you

But your father is always busting my ass So I overreacted

So what are you gonna do?

What do you mean?

A man's supposed be ambitious

It's not like I never had it

when I was listening to Jong-chan

My heart started racing

I felt my heart flutter

You felt your heart race and flutter and you didn't say anything?

Why talk about things like that?

You know

I have something to say to you

what? Are you against the idea

when 21st century desperately wants me?

Hey

Did you fart?

I didn't fart

Yes, you did

- No I didn't - Did too

- I didn't - But I can smell it

You gotta do what you love

I told you to spill your guts

I was going to

But Jung-min made his shocking announcement

what if he really gets elected?

Oh please! He's a dragon from the gutter at best

Dragons on the clouds will ignore him

why didn't you talk him out of it?

My husband He has a dream again

Dream?

Do you know what my husband's dream was?

What was it?

Marrying me and living happily ever after

That's very down to earth

He seemed lost confused after we got married

For about 10 years

His dream disappeared

His eyes are sparkling again His spirit reawakening

He's dreaming again

I'll just leave him to be

what if he fails! He's still young

what about you?

What about me?

You seemed lost after you got married For about 10 years

- who me? - Your dream disappeared suddenly

and your eyes are sparkling again

Your spirit reawakening You got your dream back

I don't know who cares if there's a setback?

It's not my problem

within our party, currenly candidate Kang is leading with 45% of decided voters

That's the percentage of alchohol in whiskey, isn't it?

But we have 7.5%

A bit stronger than beer Just about rice wine

Much lower than candidate Cho who's in second place with 24%

This situation must be changed

we gotta get the ratings up and get to about soju level

we can make this a two-candidate race with candidate Kang

what differentiates candidate Hwang from other candidates?

Or what's the image of Hwang Jung-min?

- Country bumpkin? - You punk

It's youth

Yes, he's much younger than other candidates

But look at him now

Does he look young?

No

we need a makeover

A makeover?

Won't this burn my hair?

It's okay It doesn't hurt

I'll do my best Give me a chance!

Looks neat

With the passion of leading the democractic movement

Courage that saved a fellow citizen

Expertise acquired as a civil rights lawyer

Hwang Jung-min is a candidate

For the Democratic Party mayor nomination

Mr. Hwang Awesome!

Hooray!

Don't do anything to stand out You don't want them to take a photo of you

I think I'll stand out looking like this

But this is the least you can do as the wife of mayoral candidate

Yeah?

Let's see a gentle smile Start

Hi. I'm Hwang Jun-min Mayoral candidate for Seoul Meetrapolitan City

I'm gonna go nuts

Metropolitan not meetrapolitan

Yes, meetrapolitan

Let's take one step at a time

Met

Met

Tra

Tra

Metra

Meetra

why can't you say that right? Pathetic

Meetropolitan Meetropolitan... Can't do it?

That's right

Meetrapolitan! Meetrapolitan!

Sounds good He can do it

Here comes our lady

- what's wrong? - You don't look like my wife

This is the Beverly Hills look

I paid special attention to details today

But we're going to do charity work

Do you think people dress like that for charity work?

People are going to be paying attention to her

Is she going to a bee farm?

Or a funeral

That's the dress code for an American funeral

Stop talking nonsense

She'll seem like someone who sits around all day playing princess

what's wrong with everyone?

Alright I understand

Don't worry, Jung-hwa They just don't have class

Especially you, bee farmer! Don't know a thing about fashion

- who's that? - I'm Jung-hwa's friend!

Bon appetite

Looks delicious

Let's take a picture

Smile

Thank you

This kid is not normal

These kids are heavy

They met five ducks of the family How many?

Five

what is this!

Play with the duck That feels good, doesn't it?

Where's Jung-hwa?

Over there

Yes, Director Lee

My friend's mother just passed away

I understand

These glasses are making me dizzy

when did you start college?

91, ma'am

80, in my case I'll speak comfortably

Okay

where do you live?

Beon-dong

Beon-dong?

Where is that?

Look here, Mrs. Hwang

Your husband is not a member of the assembly. He's just a party member

You gotta be mindful of trade ethics

Your husband is a just tool to create momentum

It's candidate Kang's turn this time

Mind your place

Is politics getting in line to ride the bus?

What?

One should do volunteering work whether or not you're a politician's wife

Is it a crime to give it all I got?

Are you lecturing us?

What ignorance!

Even people from other side of the river should have basic knowledge

Beon-dong is located in Kangbuk-gu

Population of 400,000

Half of which are over-20 and have the right to vote

According to the polls, 37% of them support the current mayor

Your husband, Assemblyman Kang should give it all!

Let her be She's that famously rude x generation

A secret kept from you

Is this look

Once a shinning star

Shines again effortlessly

Okay That's enough

Lari get ready for the chorus

Go!

Who only has eyes for me

I call out for you again I call for you

To say what I couldn't say Until the end

I got some phlegm stuck in my throat I'm fine

You're singing like an old lady

Sorry but can you make it sound better with the machine?

Are you kidding? You think this machine is a magic wand?

Cut down on smoking

Hey newbie! You wanna try?

Who, me?

Why should this old hag do my part?

Be quiet Yeah, give it a shot Jung-hwa

what the fuck!

Girls from Colorado, I tell you

Let's go with Jung-hwa taking the part

Once a shinning star

Shines again effortlessly

Call upon you who

only has eyes for me

To say what I couldn't say Until the end

I'm the queen tonight Look close This is me

Yes, I'm the queen tonight Come next to me

I never do this with one of my artists, you know?

I see

we need a pretty name for you

How about Venus, the goddess of beauty?

Venus Okay

- Venus - Yes?

What kind of a person do you think I am?

A very nice person

I want to be a nice man to Venus

what do you mean?

Don't get me wrong

I don't want to abuse my position to get you in the sack

In the sack?

No, no what I mean is

Venus, I like you

I'm actually an innocent person

I knew it

I have to go I'm sorry

Hey! Hey! Where are you going?

Jung-hwa! Venus!

How embarrassing!

The other candidates are seasoned veterans

So just do as we prepared

- I understand - And relax

I'm so nervous

Be careful not to use the dialect

I got it

- Metropolitan - Metropolitan

Hello everyone It's Select 2011

we'll start the 1st debate for democratic party's

Seoul mayor candidate nomination

Respected Seoul citizens

I'm Kang Pil-jae, democratic party candidate for mayoral office of Seoul Metropolitan City

Now is the global period for Korea

A capital notjust for Korea but for northeast Asia

Not expansion in quantity but expansion in quality

Improvement of lives of Seoul citizens

Seoul citizens deserve to live better

I request for your support

Lastly, a greeting from candidate Hwang

then speech from all candidates

Oh, hello

Democratic party candidate for Seoul Meetrapolitan

Seoul Meetra-politan

Metro! Metro! After he practiced so much

Mayoral candidate for Seoul City

As far as I'm concerned

being the mayor of Seoul means

Even a mut on the street runs to be the mayor

Respected candidate Kang, regarding your military service

You didn't serve in the military Isn't that problematic?

Oh, that

If it won't be too rude I want to show you

that I'm visibly flat-footed

which means I can't walk for a long period of time

But the reason for military exemption is recorded as severe shortsightedness

Yes, I'm shortsighted and flat-footed

Can't see and can't walk So I couldn't serve in the military

Then how were you able to walk here

Thanks to rapid progress

in medical technology I receive LASIK surgery 10 years ago

Oh, surgery! Since you got your sight back

Do you wish to fulfil your military duty now?

Look here You're trying to get media play

It's not media play

I want to inform the voters of verified facts

Shouldn't talk like that

Let's calm down

Just pathetic why fight within the family?

Let's get back to the issue

what's your view on Seoul's unbalanced development?

Candidate Hwang?

I did my military service at 2nd Division of Nodo Corps

we're done with that topic

Oh, I see

The topic is the inequality in development within the city

Candidate Hwang?

The unbalance problem?

We should balance it out

How will you achieve that?

Uh... well,

The south side is affluent

North is a bit... um...

- Are you disparaging north areas? - Look here Mr. Hwang

If the price of apartments falls, are you gonna be responsible?

No, no

It was very sad Audience were laughing at him

Sad but what can we do?

Could be better this way May be he'll drop out of the race

what's the matter, mama?

I'll call you later

I'll send you the money when I make it

I want to be there for papa's 70th birthday

But what are the neighbors gonna say when I go down?

I'm going to debut very soon

Yeah, debut!

No, de-but Don't you know?

Not TV. Debut!

- I'm not a backup dancer anymore - The director is looking for you

Goodbye mama

So stupid what am I gonna do?

- Yo! - Shit

You were great today

Did you see it?

Yeah

So embarrassing

I did my military service at 2nd Division of Nodo Corps

Nodo Corps is the hottest search word on the net

Be quiet Go way

Oh, bro!

Do you know how many times I gotta go to collect the outstanding bill?

I go back again and again until I get the money

So?

So,

you can start again anytime as long as you don't give up

You said that on the TV ad

I was moved by that

wait a minute was that written by some writer?

Really?

He is giving me a lot of pressure

Not home yet?

Yes!

Seoul Meetro...

Is it ready?

You're home

That dress

Jesus

It's not that but

I was gonna tell you

Thanks

I really appreciate it

I had a rough day

was going to throw in the towel

Don't have to do it if you don't want to You can quit right now

No, no

How can I quit when you prepared this event to cheer me up?

For you, I won't give up

Dance again

Huh?

Dance again

Go on

Yes

Yes

That's right

This feels different

Shake that ass

Yeah, baby

Turn around

I'm gonna bite you

Please bite me

If people start having more babies motivated by patriotism

we could solve the low birthrate problem

we got to be patriotic

I will provide substantial financial benefit

I promise to give 500 dollars for the 2nd child

1,000 for third child 3,000 for the forth child

To motivate citizens to have more birth

Please have lots of kids

Candidate Hwang, what is your view?

Yes, we have low birth rate problem

because education is so expensive tuition is getting higher

It's also hard to get a job and the price of housing going up

It's painful to watch

Look here

This is the difference between a pro and amateur

He has no solutions

Dear citizens

would you get in the cab with a driver with 30 years of accident-free experiencee

or a driver who just got his license?

Experienced or new driver I just don't know

what?

Policy to increase birthrate, child support...

whether it's the assembly or the president

I don't know about all the policy they put out

although I'm sure very intelligent politicians come up with the policy

Itjust doesn't make sense to me

They said 'have lot of kids' but does that work?

Parents are working their asses off

when do they the time to have kids?

Do you know how much a tin of baby formula costs?

Of course, $3.50

Are you kidding? A bowl of noodles costs 4 bucks

- Candidate Cho? - About 7 dollars?

At the neighborhood store the cheapest one is 12 bucks!

Situation's hopeless

As they get bigger they take a tin a week

Go to the mart

They got rows of them, cheap to expensive

Do you know what

it feels like not be able to buy 20 dollar Excellent formula?

Why can't you answer? Please tell us!

Is that why the government is recommending breast feeding?

Moms are not milk cows You can'tjust milk them away

He's right! What do the men know?

We talk about meals at school

Whether or not meals are free is not important

The parents are both at work

So should we send them to an empty home

to eat alone?

That's not right

Don't we have to let the kids know

why the parents are working so hard?

How? By taking care of them at school

That is, feeding them

This is hot meal is from hard work of your parents

Do you know how hard your parents are working so you guys can eat?

Salary stays the same while consumer price and

housing price keeps going up and interest on mortgage is accumulating

And they want us to have more kids?

That's hypocritical, isn't it?

I really don't know

what should we do?

Dear moms and dads who are working so hard to make the ends meet

Do you have the silver bullet?

Do you? Do you have the cure-all?

Then let's put our heads together

I'll get all the experts together

Get rid of those people who have no idea what they're talking about

And you folks participate directly so we can have a discussion

Daddy is so cool

Is he really gonna become the mayor?

What? Probably not

You don't want him to be mayor?

That's not the problem

Me being mayor's wife is the problem

why is that a problem?

You tell me

It's Hwang Jung-min!

Hello Best of luck to you

Thank you Thank you

Thank you

"Rapid Increase of Hwang's Popularity"

Table has been turned

Hwang Jung-min! Hwang Jung-min!

Are you doing any work?

Why is Hwang's popularity going up?

Candidate Hwang recorded 82% in the recent poll

He has surpassed these two candidates by a wide margin

what the? Wasn't Hwang just a pacemaker?

You can't get elected just on awareness

It's notjust awareness

According to our research, he caught up

within 10% pts behind current leader in the approval rating

what nonsense is that?

Let's do it this way

Politics is a show

This election will be some show

Oh, and candidate Hwang is no longer a pacemaker

Let's see who wins

But...

Mr. Chairman?

Chairman!

Attorney Hwang is not available

He's not an attorney but will be the mayor

Attorney Hwang

Ma'am, what's the matter?

I brought this

we'll look at it later Thank you

- Mr. Hwang - I promise

I'll look at it later

I'll take this

One two three!

Keep it up!

Looking great!

That should be good

Do some photoshop and make her chest look bigger

Her legs longer and thinner Possible, right?

Oh, jesus

It's really happening Finally!

Is debut important? We gotta be a big hit

If we pull off the event tomorrow we can become a big hit

what event is it?

Event for the Democratic Party

Democratic Party?

I got some connections in politics

If our song gets picked as the party's campaign song

we'll be a hit

Are we really gonna be a big hit?

That's what I'm telling you

what? Your husband will be there

what should I do? He'll get pissed if he finds out

Your husband's not the only problem You've been deceiving the whole country

Even though the world has changed,

who'll accept the mayor's wife shaking her ass on the stage?

You told me to give it a shot! Now you're turning your back?

I told you to shit Not give it a shot

You want a cup of coffee?

Forget it wait!

Husband?

Trust me

The wife version

And dancing queen version

who are you?

Oh dear, Jung-hwa

who is this?

Let's hear it for candidate Hwang and his wife

Great to meet you

Honey

I got a tummy ache I'll run to the restroom

Hurry back

Dance with the rhythm

Overflowing with coolness

I've no idea what I'm doing

My hand is shaking

You wanna die? Hurry up!

Look up

Hello? Good to see you...

Next we have a new girl group The Dancing Queens

Please welcome!

Let's do this

A secret kept from you

Is this look

Once a shining star

Shines again effortlessly

Call upon you who only has eyes for me

To say what I couldn't say Until the end

I'm the queen tonight Look close. This is me

Yes, I'm the queen tonight Come next to me

If I only have you then

I got the chance tonight I'll get you

Thank you

Did you shit a bucket? What took you so long?

Just when I thought I was done more came out

Jesus...

what's this crap on you?

Hurry up and eat

- Venus, where have you been? - Good job

I got so nervous that I got the runs

Sit down

That was great

Keep this up and we might get TV ain'time next week

Are we gonna be a big hit?

You wish

Mi-ja

Mi-ja, what are you doing here?

It's Dorothy!

Nevermind

I was gonna walk away

But there's a group member who's been hiding her real identity

A scandalous secret The media will have a picnic

The shameless bitch is

It's a misunderstanding

I'm sure no harm was intended

She must have desperately wanted to be a singer

You think that will shut me up?

The shameless bitch is

That's right I'm from the country

Is that such a crime, you bitch?

You should've kept you mouth shut

Bitch!

Mi-ja, you can't do this to us after all that we've been through

Shut up If you show your face once again

You'll really pay for it

Shit

There's only one option left Just trust me

Any ideas?

Who'll need this information the most?

When I was in high school in Mokpo, I got into dancing

and I ran away from home

Got deceived and used by lying bastards in Seoul for 10 years

So I was gonna end it all

Then I met the director

I thought this was my last chance So I lied and said I was from Colorado

Because he said he was looking for someone from overseas

But why Colorado?

Because I come from Jeolado Potato, potaado

what?

Thank you for keeping my secret

And protecting me from that bitch

That was very moving, sis

Sis?

Yes, I'm calling you sis from now

I'll call you sis as well

Me too

Yeah? Then the team leader is settled

what?

Cheers to Dancing Queens and leader, Venus

Cheers!

Cheers!

Shameless

what's this? Is she working at night to make her husband the mayor?

It's their personal life

Adultery is a private matter

You wanna change the world when this is your first term?

After this election, you wanna be screwed at the next party nomination?

Assemblyman Jang,

I hold your competence in high esteem

If you don't want to be humiliated, have Hwang resign by tomorrow morning

And I'll take care of you

So this is how trashy drama ends

Trashy dramas usually get high ratings

That's right

Kang Phil-jae will go public with it at tomorrow's party election

why is this a problem?

Tell me This is my private life

It becomes a problem in politics

If that gets publicized

As a politician you can't govern his own wife

You'll be a laughing stock

The media will be all over this

It will be hard for you and your family to handle

So what should I do?

Jung-min

I didn't pull you in for you to get hurt

Just for us all

Is that really for us? Or for candidate Kang?

Then you'll go to party election and get humiliated?

Or turn my back on all those who supported me

because I'm scared of that?

Politics may be a shit bucket But this is too much!

I started this for a reason!

If I only have you then

I got the chance tonight I'll get you

we'll see you tomorrow Thank you

we're on for a broadcast

when?

Tomorrow!

I'm going nuts

It's M Countdown

Bring it on

Girls Generation! Wonder Girls!

We'll be on the same stage

Oh, hello

why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you tell me?

Is this why you sent Yeon-woo to your mother's place?

I'm sorry I didn't mean to deceive

Shut up. I don't need excuses Just stop this nonsense right now

Do you realize that I've become the laughing-stock because of you?

How could I do politics when I can't control my wife?

Don't you know that my dream was to be a singer?

What kind of a bullshit dream is that?

Don't talk like that It might mean nothing to you

but it's a precious dream for me

It's a dream I put aside in order to look after you and our daughter

Must've been so difficult to take care of me against your will

So I'll give you a comfortable life

Just shut up live quietly

No!

I don't want to live like that

while you live your dream, my dream means nothing?

Why do I always have to give in and sacrifice?

My parents didn't give birth to me so I can sacrifice my life for you

You know what Yeon-woo said?

She doesn't want to live like me

Do you want our daughter to sacrifice her whole life for a man?

Without any dreams or hope?

I don't want her to live like that

You're right

In the end, I'm the bad guy

I got the answer

You go your way

And I'll go mine

I'm sorry I'll take full responsibility

Hey

It's a blockbluster

what?

Everyone's gonna dig into this scandal

Dancing Queens whose husband is the mayoral candidate

How about it? Isn't itjuicy?

Then...

Proceed with the broadcast as planned

But that would be too cruel for Venus

That's not for you to worry about

Proceed no matter what Can't get a better publicity stunt

Don't mess up

I tried hard to find evidence but this is all we have

It's not a contract

But evidence that our family has been living in

this neighborhood for many decades

If you become the mayor

Please think of the weak and helpless like us

and help us

I'm not a backup dancer anymore

what happened to Hwang? Did he resign?

I think he'll push ahead

Idiot! He hasn't learned his lessons yet

Proceed as planned

Hold on tight

we don't know what they're capable of

Three, two, one. Go!

We're here at Democratic Party candidate nomination

for Seoul mayoral office

we're counting on you

The candidates are now making their entrance

with candidate Kang who has a strong support base

and candidate Hwang with overwhelming support

we expect a close match

There will be an announcement from candidate Cho Myeong-gu

My beloved party members

For unification of our party and upcoming election

I give support to the respected candiate Kang

and hereby resign from party nomination

No kidding! What's gonna happen to Hwang?

My respected fellow party members

Before I make my speech

I wish to disclose an important fact

Please take a look at this photo

This embarrassing character is no other than

the wife of the respected candidate Hwang

It was hard for me to believe as well

- Camera 1 on Hwang! - It's undisputable truth

Her group just released an album and will debut as sexy singer-dancers

In a democratic country, being a singer may not be a problem

But please take a look at this photo

Number 2! Close-up on the photo!

According to a source, candidate Hwang's wife

is inappropriately involve d with the director of her agency

This is what I'd call a trashy TV drama

Hwang's wife is debuting as a dance singer

and is having an affair with her company's representative

May be she's coming here today

Next rehearsal

- Yes - Please get ready. Up next

Next is Dancing Queen

Yes

They say "one must govern his home before he can rule the country"

How can someone who can't govern his wife

govern 10 million citizens?

Kang Phil-jae! Kang Phil-jae!

Candidate Kang has just concluded his speech

It will be interesting to see how candidate Hwang

who's personal life has been attacked will respond

Candidate Hwang will make a speech

Just read the script

Don't mention your wife

Hwang Jung-min! Hwang Jung-min!

Hwang Jung-min! Hwang Jung-min!

Hwang Jung-min! Step down!

Resign!

Resign!

Get down from there!

Where do you think you're going? Get down

Dear respected Seoul citizen s and party members

I'm Democratic Party mayoral candidate Hwang Jung-min

Bring your wife to sing!

As someone new to politics

Thank you for your advice and warm support

Yeah! Bring your wife!

The reason I want to run for the mayor's office

is to speak out for complaints of 10 million citizens of Seoul

what's that?

Grab him!

Get him!

Hurry and grab him!

Are you okay?

I'm sorry

I'm so sorry for dragging you into this shit bucket

Candidate Hwang's speech has been interrupted due to an attack

We don't know whether he's been injured

But will let you know as soon as we have confirmation

Let me repeat that

Candidate Hwang was just attacked by an unidentified assailant

We don't know whether he's been injured

But will let you know as soon as we have confirmation

Hey! Start the engine

I'm fine

The reason I want to run for the mayor's office

is to speak out for complaints of

10 million citizens of Seoul

Yes, it's true

My wife loves to dance and sing

During college she was known as The Madonna of Shinchon

She is not an unfaithful wife as candidate Kang has alleged

Although she looks like a party girl

when I was hospitalized after getting beat up by a club

She took my urine and feces

Cut the crap! Just step down

Be quiet!

Let's hear what he has to say

And although I didn't make a cent during 7 years I studied for the bar exam

She didn't complain at all

She worked her ass off at a gym to support her family

My wife's dream was to be a singer A dance singer

But she couldn't realize her dream

Because she met an incompetent husband like me

I now feel the pain of

not getting the support or trust of a single soul

But I did the same to my wife last night

"Don't embarrass your husband Quit now!"

"I'll let you live comfortably So just shut up and live quietly"

That's what I said to my wife last night

My wife is a human being before being the wife of a politician

She is not my belonging

How can I govern over Seoul citizens when I can't govern my own family?

A family is...

A family is not something to govern

I believe the same goes for Seoul citizens

They shouldn't be governed

But family to find hope with while holding hands

Careful

I feel relieved now

Thank you for supporting me until now

To become the mayor I made my wife give up her dream

As a husband who is ashamed of his wife who sacrificed her life for him

I don't think I'm qualified as a candidate

How can I be a mayor of 10 million

when I can't earn the trust of my family?

Therefore as of this moment, I declare my...

No!

She's his wife

Close-up on her!

What the?

It's mom

what?

Are you nuts? What are you doing here?

Why are you giving up? You gotta fight to the end

what should I do?

Continue shooting

You told me to quit

I didn't I said let's do what we like

when did I tell you to give up?

Will you give up on me?

I'm doing this not to give up on you

I won't give up on you either

So don't give up!

A guy weeping How shameful!

I do whatever my wife tells me to do

Like an idiot

But if I am an idiot

I want to be an idiot who tries till the end

I'll fight till the end Please give me your support

I'm Hwang Jung-min, candidate for the mayor's office of Seoul Metropolitan City

She's my friend

what about the broadcast?

What happened to the show?

We can make it if we leave now

This is chaos rather than a party nomination

what does he think he's doing?

An election can't be this trashy

Trashy dramas usually get high ratings

I'll stand beside you
