Original subtitles

(Once it's December, we can't wait...)

(for that special day that comes like a present.)

Gosh. What's all this?

- It's totally Christmas. - It's like Christmas.

(Entering excitedly)

Goodness, Bong Sik...

He can't be here today.

- Oh, really? - Tukutz can't either.

I was hoping to see the foxy guy.

It's the end of the year. 2025 is almost gone.

- Time really flew by. - Yes.

We're ending the year with the NPCC,

- the Non-Popular Celebrity Club. - Yes.

- For our dear NPCC members, - Yes.

we prepared some gifts.

- As a surprise. - It's a surprise.

Shall we take a look?

(The members come to work as usual.)

We told them to come up in the elevator.

We set up a special surprise event for them inside the elevator.

- The members have no clue. - Right.

How will they react to the sudden and unexpected circumstance?

(MBC's basement level parking)

Hello.

- It's Heo Kyeong Hwan. - Kyeong Hwan.

(Kyeong Hwan gets in the elevator.)

- Going up. - Kyeong Hwan got in.

- A child's in the elevator. - What...

- We told them to dress for X-mas. - Yes.

- Are you nervous? - I'm worried.

- "I'm worried." - I'm worried.

"I'm worried."

Gosh. I'm worried.

Did I go too far?

No. You can do it.

Should I just sing a song?

In the elevator with our staff writer,

she's encouraging him.

Yes.

(He's worrying about a performance, not imagining what will happen.)

- It's not us. - No?

- Hello. - Hello.

(A mysterious crowd gets into the elevator.)

The doors are closing.

(Suspecting them at zero percent)

(Vocalizing)

(Flustered)

My gosh, seriously.

(He enjoys the song with them.)

(An exclusive concert just for him takes place in a closed space.)

(Chuckling)

You startled me.

(Their surprise present is a Christmas carol.)

(Gosh, whatever.)

(Kyeong Hwan the Kid is utterly excited.)

Thank you. You completely startled me.

(Chuckling)

What? Was I dreaming just now?

Hello?

- They're excellent at acting. - Yes.

What a way to kill the excitement.

(Disappointed)

My gosh.

You guys are amazing. You're amazing actors and actresses.

(He can only rely on his tambourine.)

Seventh floor.

(He finally gets to escape.)

(Snatching)

Gosh, that was funny. They're so good at acting.

My gosh.

- Kyeong Hwan. - Kyeong Hwan.

- This way. - My gosh.

Did you know about the elevator?

- Yes. - Look at the screen here.

How was it?

- For a second, I thought, - We were watching it from here.

"Why are they harmonizing here?"

It took me five seconds to realise what was going on.

- "Why are they harmonizing here?" - "Why are they singing here?"

All of a sudden, I understood what was going on.

"They are singing a Christmas carol as a surprise."

- So I joined them. - Really?

- Take a seat. - This is quite fun.

I love it.

- You know what? - Wait.

- Are you wearing a horse pass? - Oh, this?

Keyrings are super trendy these days.

- Really? - Among kids.

Young kids hang like 20 keyrings.

(Showing interest)

- So I got one today. - I see.

Okay. Let's watch the next clip.

- Gosh. It's... - Gosh.

- our 100-day-old kid. - Yes.

(Everything about you)

(Clearing his throat)

You should warm up your voice.

(Rolling)

Can I drink this?

No. That's hand sanitizer.

(Hand sanitizer)

It looks like water.

- Gosh. - It's the hand sanitizer.

(This innocent soul has no prejudices.)

I guess they're filming today. This isn't our floor.

- Hello. - This way.

- It's nearby. - Hello.

My gosh. It's the same crew.

(The surprise present shows up for the 100-day-old kid.)

They're in. He doesn't know who they are yet.

- Right. I didn't know either. - He doesn't know who they are.

They're good at keeping a straight face.

Right. They're good.

The doors are closing.

(The elevator doors close.)

All right. How will he react?

(The present opens.)

I thought they were just practising at first.

(What's going on?)

Gosh, our oldest member is surprised.

- I see. - It takes time to realise...

what's going on.

- It takes about 3 to 4 seconds. - All right.

- "What's this?" - Wait.

He's surprised.

(Holding onto it tightly)

Did you see him?

He looked up, so he could pretend he didn't see them.

(He desperately avoided accepting the present.)

(Feeling awkward)

The doors are opening.

- What? Are we getting off here? - Is this my floor?

(The Christmas carol is successfully delivered.)

- Kwang Kyu... My gosh. - He's here.

- The 100-day-old baby is here. - Hello.

Christmas

- Okay. - My gosh.

I've never experienced anything like this.

- Sit down. - Okay.

I thought they were starring on "Top 10 Songs."

- Kwang Kyu. - That show was cancelled...

- ages ago. What do you mean? - You can sit over there.

Gosh, that's funny.

Why didn't you come last week?

(Getting scolded for no reason)

- Wait. Are you a teacher? - By the way,

- Kyeong Hwan, - Yes.

could you change the location of your doll?

Could you move it to the side?

(He picks a rather scandalous location.)

Hey, that was funny.

You made them laugh again.

I didn't do anything funny. The doll moved on its own.

- All right. Move it to the side. - He...

Move it to the side.

"I didn't do anything funny. The doll moved on its own."

- You're the funniest these days. - Move it to the side.

Move it to the side, please.

- Come on. - Gosh.

- The votes... - It's Jun Ha.

- It's Jun Ha. - My gosh.

Is he dressed up as the Red Devil?

What's going on?

(He's dressed as Rudolph.)

The doors are opening.

- Today's practice? - It was really tough.

- Hello. - Hello.

Jun Ha is suddenly smiling like a gentleman...

- when they're getting in. - Yes. He has...

- this signature smile. - Right.

(Looking utterly innocent)

(The surprise present is on standby.)

(He quickly scans what's going on while keeping his smile on.)

(Startled)

Okay.

(He gets his nasal singing voice ready.)

(He's on the verge of singing.)

(Humming)

(Glancing at them)

(He unleashes his nasal voice.)

(With his unleashed nasal voice, he dances with big movements.)

(Trailing off)

(You)

- Thank you. - The doors are closing.

(Looking around)

It gets really awkward...

when they act as if nothing happened.

It's like a flash mob at the end.

- They acted as if nothing happened. - Gosh. That's funny.

(At the same time, in the MBC parking lot)

(Who will show up next?)

It's Hong Man.

Look at Hong Man's outfit today.

I'm the walking Christmas tree.

That's cute.

- Let me put this on. - Put it on.

- How do I look? - You look super cute.

- I look cute? - Take a picture.

Do you want to see it?

(Trying to fit all of his cuteness into the frame)

I look good.

(After completing his outfit for the Christmas theme...)

- Where do I have to go? - Go straight.

(he's finally at work.)

Going up to the 14th floor.

(Checking his appearance one more time)

- He's looking in the mirror. - Hong Man is...

- looking in the mirror right away. - My gosh.

Do I look good?

Yes. You look cute.

I've never done this in my life.

(While he's completely absorbed in checking himself out...)

- I look pretty good. - Right.

The doors are opening.

- Okay. All right. - Great job.

- Okay. Come on in. - It's a new group.

- It's the kids now. - It's the kids.

Get in.

- Gosh, what's going on? - Come on in.

(What's going on?)

This way.

- No way. They're so cute. - Come in.

(Little kids whom Hong Man adores come in.)

Look at the kids.

They look like fairies in a forest.

They look like they could be in a fairytale.

Gosh, look at these kids.

They look so cute with Hong Man.

Right.

(My hands are freezing, my feet are freezing)

(They sing a children's song with their pretty voices for him.)

(Happy)

Sing it with us.

(Pounding)

(This winter is especially cold for this walking Christmas tree.)

(He sings with the fairies that can melt away a frozen heart.)

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

(Adoring them)

- How cute. - The kids...

- This is fun. - are so cute.

The kids must be fascinated to see him too.

They met the tallest person in Korea.

Right.

(Fascinated by each other)

- What a heartwarming scene. - Yes.

They look good together.

- He's getting in. - Who's next?

- All right. It's Sung Tae. - It's Sung Tae.

- He's ranked last. - Right.

Second floor.

The doors are opening.

(Neighing)

(His shoulders jumping in surprise)

(A mysterious sound comes from outside the elevator.)

- Go inside. - Horse masks.

(What's that?)

(Here comes a herd of horses after Sung Tae.)

Who are they?

(He suddenly crouches down.)

That must be scary.

Let's spread out.

My gosh.

(The horses start singing a cappella all of a sudden.)

He's surprised.

(He's never gotten this much attention from horses before.)

- Why is he so scared? - He's scared.

He's not doing anything.

(He grabs the tambourine.)

(Shaking)

- He's shaking the tambourine. - All right.

He's dancing with them.

(Looking scared)

He's so scared.

- He's almost forced. - He's scared.

(They stop immediately after the song ends.)

(Sighing)

Second floor.

- The doors are closing. - This is crazy.

- He had no choice but to do it. - That's when it hits you.

(He crouches down at their indifference.)

They're acting as if nothing happened again.

It feels like you're dreaming when they do that.

(It's time to wake up from the dream.)

Seventh floor.

(A sigh of relief)

(Snatching)

(After being forced to return the tambourine...)

(Rushing over)

- Gosh. - My gosh.

- Goodness. - Sung Tae.

Gosh, Sung Tae.

- The man of the hour. - You were so shocked.

Good job, everyone.

All right.

We'd like to thank the children...

and the a cappella group for helping us with this surprise.

A supply with no demand.

You won't come to us, so we come to you.

It's the Non-Popular Celebrity Club.

Tukutz and Bong Sik couldn't join us today.

- Bong Sik. - Bong Sik.

- He's filming a movie now. - He's...

filming a movie and a drama now.

- He couldn't join us for two weeks. - But...

Sung Tae is sitting all the way at the end over there...

- for missing one episode. - Right.

(1st Week Ranking, 6th Place: Heo Sung Tae)

(9th Place: Heo Sung Tae)

He was actually unavailable at first,

but he changed his schedule to be here.

Sung Tae is taking this seriously.

I'm trying my best to be here for every episode.

- What will happen to Bong Sik? - Right.

What if his ranking goes up even when he's absent?

- It means he has a fan base. - That's crazy.

- It means he has a fan base. - Right.

It'd be crazy if his ranking still goes up.

Kyeong Hwan, why were you absent last week?

Well, I had to compete in a jujutsu contest.

How did you perform at the contest?

- I participated in two contests. - Okay.

I won a silver medal and a bronze medal.

Unfortunately,

- I couldn't win a gold medal. - "Unfortunately."

It's fortunate that he won medals.

I heard only four people participated.

- No. - Is that true?

- Only four people came? - Thousands of people came.

Thousands of people came?

- Yes. Thousands of people came. - Really?

Then they were divided into different weight classes.

- Based on age groups too? - Right.

So there were four people in your group?

No. There were 5... No, there were 6 to 9 people.

- Six? - Six to nine?

- You got it all wrong. - Tell us the exact number.

- Not everyone competed. - So listen.

- It wasn't thousands of people. - There were only six?

- If there are only 9 people, - On the 1st day,

- winning a medal is easy. - nine people competed.

We had multiple matches on the same day.

- I see. - Yes.

So everyone gets a medal when they participate?

No.

I should try it too.

- It's like a participation medal. - I see.

It's not like that.

It's impossible to talk to people who don't know about jujutsu.

You know what? I ran into Kwang Kyu before the shoot.

He went, "Why weren't you here last week?"

"Darn it. I'm the only one who comes every week."

(The man with the perfect attendance gets exposed.)

He said the fact that he was available...

- every week hurt his pride. - I was somehow...

- available for every shoot. - "I'm always here."

You know what?

I'm sure some of them skipped the shoot on purpose.

- Tukutz is doing that. - You know?

- Tukutz could be home right now. - I bet he's resting at home.

- He's pretending to be busy. - Right.

- All right. - To pretend he's busy.

Rumour has it that...

- Tukutz is at home now. - Right.

Are we supposed to be embarrassed about having perfect attendance?

- No, don't be embarrassed. - Well,

- I always put aside time... - Hong Man travels from Jeju...

- every week for this. - Right.

- Right. - Yes.

What happened to the elk this week? Did you see one again?

- I ran into one again. - You did?

- We bonded more deeply this time. - You did? Does it like you now?

I threw snow at it.

- You threw snow at it? - Like this.

- Delusional Hong Man. - The elk?

- Delusional Hong Man. - I'm telling the truth.

You know what?

How are things with your lady?

Are things going well with her?

Yes, we're good.

We're spending time together. We still work out together.

- Really? - We recently had a snow fight.

- I see. - We're having fun.

You had a snow fight with the elk and your girlfriend.

(You had a snow fight with the elk and your girlfriend.)

From what I hear,

everyone has been posting on their social media...

to ask people to vote for you.

Kyeong Hwan acted like he wasn't interested in doing it.

But you're promoting yourself hard.

Gosh, Haha. The picture came out so well.

After winning first place, Jun Ha started to act differently.

Last week, the voting results weren't revealed.

And that put Jun Ha in 1st place for 2 weeks.

- Gosh. - He's still in first place.

- I can't believe this. - My gosh. This is ridiculous.

(Feeling proud)

How has it been for you?

- Were there any big changes? - Well,

I was engaged in a conversation.

But as soon as my female fans saw me, they went like this.

(Screaming)

- They were so happy. - Stop lying.

- Seriously. Stop lying. - You saw it.

- Come on. - You're so annoying.

"Oh, my!" They went like this.

You're in first place, but you're not classy at all.

- This isn't right. - I...

- This isn't right. - I took a selfie with them.

- This isn't right. - This is so annoying.

- Sang Jin is driving me crazy. - Why?

- Sang Jin... - Day and night...

- Busan MBC is helping him out. - Busan MBC...

- Right. I saw it too. - The announcer promoted him.

He said people in Busan had to come together for him.

- Well, Busan is my hometown. - Okay.

- Sang Jin keeps using Busan. - Right.

- I'm not using them. - You are.

- But this is what the announcer... - Yes.

in Busan said.

- Sang Jin is in eighth place. - Right.

So she said they should help him get into seventh place.

- Just to climb up one spot. - So she didn't say...

- he should be a high-ranker. - That wasn't it.

- "Help him climb up 1 spot." - "Help him win 6th or 7th place."

They didn't have high expectations.

Seeing how much they helped you,

- your ranking could have gone up. - It should go up.

With the help of people from Busan, you could win this thing.

(My ranking should go up at least one spot.)

Producers in the Room.

I'd like to encourage everyone to keep participating.

There's only one week left...

- until fan-meet of the NPCC - There's only one week left.

Seven days. Gosh, what am I going to do?

- Here's what we need to tell you. - What's going to happen?

A lot of people are applying to attend the fan-meet.

- So many people applied. - Really?

By the way,

- They want to come to see Jae Seok. - you caused a problem.

- What problem? - What is it?

Most of the people who are applying to come...

are Jae Seok's fans.

- Gosh. - I knew it.

- This is... - They wrote they were a fan...

of the NPCC members on their application.

- But it's hard to believe... - Were they lying?

they're true fans based on the reasons.

What they wrote sounded insincere.

- My gosh. - One more thing.

- Let us clarify something. - Okay.

Here's what happened.

Of course, a lot of people...

- are interested in our program. - Yes.

We're grateful for their interest.

But for the fan-meet of the NPCC,

- their true fans must attend it. - Right.

- That's right. - So our staff...

will analyse meticulously and make sure...

the applicant is indeed a true fan.

- That will be our standard... - Right.

- Yes. - for giving out our invitation.

All right. First of all,

- we booked a 300-seat auditorium. - Yes.

We'll proceed with it even if all 300 seats aren't filled.

We should.

Does it mean some seats won't be filled?

- After screening for true fans, - We must screen them out.

- we might not have 300 people. - Afterward...

That's right.

That's disappointing.

You know what?

Let me say this in advance.

Our fan-meet...

will take place during the day.

- During the day? - Yes.

- If we do this in the evening, - In the afternoon.

it'd be convenient since your fans can come...

- after work. - Right.

But they'd have high expectations. You know?

That's why our fan-meet...

will take place in the afternoon.

Whoever can spare some time during the day can drop by.

- Hold on. - Hey.

- Wait. - Listen.

- Why would you say it like that? - Hey.

- You're being too mean. - I'm not trying to be rude.

- I'm about to lose it. - All right.

- We... Gosh. - Calm down.

Let me go over this again. All right.

- Let me go over this, - He's hurting my feelings.

so you don't get the wrong idea.

You're saying hurtful things, so we get the wrong idea.

- This isn't right. - All right. You got it all wrong.

- I tried not to take it personally. - Hear me out.

Listen. Everyone.

- If office workers come... - Yes.

in the evening,

we must prepare a two-hour event and make sure...

- the event has a lot to offer. - I see.

So will our fan-meet last only 40 minutes?

- No. - How long will it be?

- We haven't decided on it yet. - Really?

We'll match your fans' schedule.

Wait.

- How could he say it like that? - Gosh.

- He's making us get the wrong idea. - Listen.

- Hear me out. - Wait.

This isn't a misunderstanding.

This is where we stand now.

Did you get them to vote on when our fan-meet should be?

- What did you say? No. - Did you get them to vote?

If this is how it's going to be,

- let's make house calls. - What is this?

- Making restaurant reservations? - No.

Get their thoughts...

- on how long it should be. - Wait.

Get them to vote on...

- when it should take place too. - Exactly.

Jun Ha. If you keep...

- raising your voice, - Jun Ha. Don't say anything.

we'll bring in security guards.

- Security guards? - Don't say anything.

Be careful, unless you want to be dragged away by the guards.

All right. We need to reduce risks for both parties.

- I think this is the right call. - It's the way you said it.

Listen. Let me tell you why this works better for us.

- Jae Seok, you're so thoughtful. - Yes.

- An older friend of mine... - Yes.

- was getting married. - Okay.

He was concerned that people wouldn't attend the wedding.

He thought it might hurt his feelings.

So he had his wedding on a weekday.

- Some people do that. - Yes.

Some people do that on purpose.

- It's the same logic. - Right.

- Besides... - It's a bit different, though.

Besides... Wait.

- Who has it on Thursday? - Who has a fan-meet...

- on a Thursday afternoon? - Hey.

- No. It's not like that. - Some people might not make it.

- No. - Hey.

If they really wanted to see us,

- they'd take a day off from work. - Right.

- But no one wants to see us! - Hey.

Paid time off is important for office workers.

They can request a day off and come to see us.

Yes, it's important to them. Why waste one on us?

Jun Ha, you shouldn't be so aggressive about that.

Reporters might write in their articles...

that you pushed your fans to take a day off from work.

- There he goes again. - Hey.

- I can't help myself. - Hey.

- They're fighting again. - I won't say anything now.

(He comes after Jun Ha as if it's his second nature.)

Who comes to a fan-meet on a Thursday afternoon?

- Right. - So people...

who come in the afternoon...

- must be our true fans. - Hong Man...

- This is less pressure. - Right.

- Right. - This is less pressure.

- Sung Tae, you like this. Right? - I'm happy with this.

- A fan-meet in the afternoon. - Gosh, a fan-meet during the day...

- is definitely new. - Yes.

Will there be a lot of teenagers at the fan-meet?

I don't know.

- That's important. - Why?

Many of my fans are teenagers.

- The staff will screen them. - Well,

their winter break hasn't started yet.

- They aren't on a break yet. - Gosh.

- They have to skip school. - Oh, my gosh.

So will our names be placed in the sections...

- where our fans will sit? - Oh, about that.

We'll tell you at the location before we begin.

Your ranking will affect...

the location of your fan zone.

(Shouting)

- Okay. - No.

Low-rankers' fans will sit on the side?

So you'll get to pick.

- The one in 1st place... - Whoever is in 1st place...

- gets the VIP seats? - can pick...

where he wants his fans to sit.

- Okay. - You know the worst section, right?

- It's not the section in the back. - Gosh.

- It's the sections on the side. - The side sections.

They will have a partial view.

Let's say they come because they really like us.

But if they are seated in an awful section,

they might hate their celebrities.

- "What is this?" - It's...

- They might hate us more for it. - No.

- Then we're going to announce... - Yes?

- the voting results there? - Right.

- Oh, really? - We'll announce the results there.

Then they will select the zone after the announcement.

It will happen simultaneously.

Gosh, this isn't good. I must get my ranking up.

So I went over the overall plan...

- for your fan-meet. - Gosh.

We will now announce the results...

for the third round of the NPCC's popularity ranking.

Our ranking will be announced.

(The 3rd voting results will be announced.)

(The low-rankers...)

My gosh. This is...

the most nerve-racking moment for me.

(Utterly nervous before the announcement)

(The one-take cover video was taken into consideration...)

(for the 3rd round of the popularity ranking.)

We didn't announce the results last week.

- Jun Ha is in first place. - That's not good.

And...

Sung Tae is in last place. Let's find out...

- My ranking can't drop from this. - if there have been...

- any changes. - I'm curious.

This is my first time seeing the results too.

I can't wait to find out about the ranking.

Gosh, my ranking can't drop from this.

- I just don't want to be last. - I'd rather...

- go up in rank. - This will last a week.

I didn't tell you the total number of votes.

Is it around 30,000 votes?

We received around 31,000 votes.

(The total number of votes: 31,720)

- It doubled. - We got 31,000 votes?

- We definitely need that. - All right!

I'll start with 6th and 7th places.

- I want to be ranked 6th. - I want 6th place.

- Me too. - I'll be happy with that.

- Me too. That's all I want. - I'd be grateful for sixth place.

He went up by one place.

- It's me! - Who?

It's Haha.

- Haha! Yes. - Gosh.

- Now that I'm in sixth place... - Haha, your ranking went up.

- It's... - Wait.

He said sixth place was all he wanted.

But now that he actually won sixth place...

He won 6th place with 2,990 votes.

- Gosh, your ranking went up. - Haha.

Haha, you took ten percent of the total votes.

(Haha, you took 10 percent of the total votes.)

- I'm so envious. - Next.

It's Hong Man.

(7th place, Choi Hong Man, 2,144 votes)

- Their places have been switched. - What?

- No way. - Am I in last again?

It's between you and me again.

- I thought this might happen. - He won 2,144 votes.

- He thought this might happen. - I thought...

- I'll announce 5th place next. - Next one is 5th place?

- Things have been consistent. - I bet it's him.

- Consistent? - Fifth place.

- It's been consistent for him. - Indeed.

His ranking has been going down by one consistently.

- It's Kim Kwang Kyu. - No!

(5th place, Kim Kwang Kyu, 3,150 votes)

Kwang Kyu.

You've been going down by one level consistently.

- However, he still got 3,150 votes. - Really?

Kwang Kyu went down from 1st to 3rd to 4th to 5th.

Next is...

- I'd be happy to place 4th. - the 4th place.

Sang Jin will go up this time.

- Sang Jin will go up. - The third place.

- It'll be Sang Jin. - I don't think I'll go up.

Genuine people are late bloomers.

In fourth place.

(Or will he go up from 5th place?)

- It's Hyun Bong Sik. - What?

- He isn't even here today. - He got 4,257 votes.

He was here last week.

His ranking went down by one.

His ranking went down for the first time.

Someone went up in rankings.

Bong Sik had been going up before.

In eighth place.

- Eighth place. - Eighth place.

(The one in last place is desperate to go up.)

It's Han Sang Jin.

Thank you.

This is better.

You got more than 2,000 votes.

Did I get more than 2,000 votes?

Han Sang Jin's ranking didn't change.

- Then who placed last? - This is better.

- Jun Ha... - Next.

No way.

- Next is the second place. - What about Jun Ha?

- In second place is... - Goodness.

What if Jun Ha's name isn't called?

It fluctuates too much.

(Will Kyeong Hwan cement his second place like a fortress?)

(Who will place 2nd in the 3rd round of NPCC voting?)

It's Heo Kyeong Hwan.

- Thank goodness. - What about Jun Ha?

- What? - I've been keeping my place.

- Did Jun Ha place first again? - What?

- Let me explain. - Right now...

What happened to Kyeong Hwan shows that he has a fan base.

He has a fan base.

Kyeong Hwan has been...

- in 2nd place. - He's in 2nd place again.

He got 4,808 votes.

Next is the third place.

In third place is...

(Will Mid-Ranker Tukutz go up in rankings?)

(Or will the one in last place create a huge twist?)

In third place is...

(Only three people remain.)

(Who will be in 3rd place?)

It's Heo Sung Tae.

- My gosh. - How much did he go up?

He went up by six.

After my lip-synching...

- He got 4,346 votes. - Right.

(Heo Sung Tae is amazing at showing off his talents.)

(I'm taken by his killer expression.)

(Mr. Squid is so awesome.)

I placed third?

You know what's amazing?

How could he go up by 6 with that 1 scene?

- So this is... - It means that he has no fan base.

- It was an impactful scene. - Right.

His rankings fluctuate every week.

- Six levels. - I'm going to make it this time.

Next is...

Tukutz and...

- What? - Jung Jun Ha remain.

Tukutz placed fifth last week.

- Right. - He placed fifth.

- This is impossible to predict. - Now...

Goodness.

Tukutz has placed first, last,

- and the middle. - Right.

- Tukutz looked amazing. - Yes, he did.

- Tukutz looked great. - What will be the result?

- Haha looked amazing too. - What if I place last?

Since the balloon,

- Jun Ha hasn't been holding back. - Right.

He's also doing very well today.

Who is in first place?

- No way. - It must be Tukutz.

No way.

(Jun Ha has been shining with genuine commitment.)

(Tukutz delivered a dazzling performance.)

Will Jun Ha place last, or will Tukutz place last?

In first place is...

(Who will be in NPCC's honourable 1st place?)

- No way. - In first place is...

Tukutz.

(1st place, Tukutz, 5,864 votes)

- Did he place last? - He placed last.

- Go down. - Go down, please.

- He placed last? - By the way...

Why am I last?

- Here's what's fascinating. - My gosh.

He went down eight places.

Your performance was terrible.

- He lacked the first-place dignity. - What do you mean?

- This is fascinating. - I know.

- Unless you have dignity... - You reap what you sow.

Shall we take a look?

Tukutz placed 1st with 5,864 votes.

- In last place? - Jun Ha got 2,072 votes.

He went down by 8 places to 9th place.

How could he go down from 1st to 9th place?

Did someone push him down the stairs?

- It means that he has no fan base. - Exactly.

Every week, every scene influences...

- his ranking. - How did he place last?

Here's what I think.

Of course, Tukutz did a good job last week.

- Epik High's fans probably thought, - Right.

- "We can't let this happen." - Right.

- They sensed a crisis. - After sensing a crisis,

they got actively involved.

Take a look at Sung Tae.

Sung Tae became the talk of the town.

Every scene can be impactful.

Jun Ha totally showed off because he won first place.

What did I do?

His post on social media this week was very annoying.

- What did he say? - "Help me keep my first place."

- That's not true. - "It's Jung Jun Ha in first place."

I wrote, "From Last Week's First Place Winner."

Now he can write, "Coming down from first place."

We'd like to thank Producers in the Room...

one more time for participating in the voting.

This is...

- This is... - I have 2,000 fans.

(The 2nd Week's Popularity Ranking of Non-Popular Celebrity Club)

(The 3rd Week's Popularity Ranking of Non-Popular Celebrity Club)

(1st Tukutz, 2nd Heo Kyeong Hwan, 3rd Heo Sung Tae,)

(4th Hyun Bong Sik, 5th Kim Kwang Kyu, 6th Haha,)

(7th Choi Hong Man, 8th Han Sang Jin, 9th Jung Jun Ha)

Before we start our discussion,

they will be helping us today.

- Goodness. - Thank you...

- for your help. - That's right.

We need some energy.

It has protein.

The cacao flavour is very good too.

(Reducing their disappointment after falling in the rankings)

I like it because it isn't sweet.

- Right? - Yes.

It's made with Korean peanuts.

So it's very nutty.

Peanut butter is popular these days.

Yes.

I want some too.

(Everyone is busy following the trend.)

(Humming)

- Yes. - It's delicious.

People dip apples in it too.

This is very good when you're trying to lose weight.

When you crave some food,

this is a good snack option.

- I love granola. - Yes.

Granola is also very good...

- You can add it to yogurt. - when you want to lose weight.

That's right.

Our eldest member is putting a lot of peanuts on it.

- Hey. - It's not peanuts.

- How is this peanuts? - Hey!

How tall are you?

You're as small as a peanut.

(Gosh, you're as small as a peanut.)

Why are you so surprised, granola?

That was funny.

(He shows off his charm in the midst of confusion.)

- I'm so full. - All right.

We talked about individual performances last week.

Right.

To share with us what you're preparing,

- show us... - Yes.

a brief teaser or a few highlights.

Kwang Kyu finally made a decision last week.

- I was very amazed. - This...

"Every Moment of You" by Sung Si Kyung.

This will win first place.

(While they were thinking about individual performances)

(A trot song like always...)

(Instead of something that he's always done)

(A special performance for the fan-meet)

(Sung Si Kyung)

(After a while, when I)

(I'm bad at singing ballad songs.)

(Source: Sung Si Kyung's YouTube channel)

(After a while)

(When I)

(Written by Sung Si Kyung, a legendary ballad song...)

(that captivated everyone with the first word "at last")

It was very refreshing.

Why did you put on...

- a scarf all of a sudden? - He must be nervous.

I put it on because my throat feels sore.

Isn't that an exfoliating towel?

(Isn't that an exfoliating towel?)

- No, it's... - Aren't they rubber gloves?

(Aren't they rubber gloves?)

Haha, stop mocking Kwang Kyu.

- Stop mocking him. - Why are you scolding me only?

- You say that you respect him... - Everyone is mocking him.

What?

We're each other's enemy.

(Giving him a sharp look)

Did you practice?

I've been practising very much.

- How is it going? - My gosh.

I sang it about 300 times.

- Already? - Goodness.

It's completely different from my singing tone.

It's been very...

Could we see only the highlight today?

Just enough to get a taste of it.

- Will it be... - I can't wait to see this.

("Every Moment of You" by Sung Si Kyung)

I hope that he does well.

- How did he decide to do this? - Be serious.

(After a while)

After a while

(Laughing)

He missed it.

He missed it.

- Could you do it one more time? - He missed the beat.

Don't laugh.

- Please don't laugh. - I didn't laugh.

Please do it one more time.

(Clearing his throat)

(Shouting)

This is "Every Moment of You."

(After a while)

- That's nice. - That's good.

(When I recognised you at first sight)

He's a little too fast.

(Everything was clearly changing)

(His rhythm keeps changing.)

(Before and after I met you)

(Laughing)

(Bursting out laughing)

- It's a total mess. - It can't be 300 times.

- No way. - You didn't listen to it 300 times.

- You should be better than this. - Listen to it 3,000 times.

Kwang Kyu.

I'm usually a trot singer.

- You still have one week. - Okay.

- Practice about 3,000 times. - Okay.

Also, please encourage him.

Kwang Kyu is singing after a long time.

It started as a place where we encouraged each other,

but we couldn't help but curse instead.

Don't curse at each other.

Next up is Han Sang Jin.

- You'll be cheerleading. - Yes.

Doesn't the song go like this? One more time, to me

- "The Road of Gale." - "The Road of Gale."

"The Road of Gale."

(With an upbeat melody and hopeful lyrics,)

(it's a quintessential cheer song.)

(The precise, high-energy choreography is key.)

All right.

- Raise it up more. - Let's go.

(Automatically clapping as soon as the song plays)

It creates a nice vibe.

Goodness.

(That's all.)

- Do it again. - What was that?

How will you do it if you can't do it now?

You have to do it.

(The member of the same agency won't allow it.)

Do it one more time.

(Encouraged by his family, he tries it again.)

Here you go.

(Go!)

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three.

That's good.

(I'll stop here again.)

- What is this? - It will make me sweat.

What are you doing?

Sang Jin, if you don't want to do it, I'll do it one more time.

- Do what? - "After a while?"

"After a while."

(Seizing the opportunity out of regret)

- Sang Jin. - Yes?

There's only one week left. You must be able to do it here.

- I'm worried about him. - Try it one more time.

I didn't want to show this to you.

- What is it, Sang Jin? - What is it?

- What is it? - After lifting my arm so much...

Did you get a shot?

- My shoulder... - Don't get injured.

I got a rupture in my shoulder.

I see.

- He has an injury. - Gosh.

(His passion for the performance made him overcome pain.)

(Swinging)

(Swinging again)

During the 90 seconds at the fan-meet,

- I'll pour my heart out. - All right.

- We're taking this very seriously. - Yes.

When the song was playing,

he kept singing, "At last."

It's not easy to keep singing in the middle of all that.

(Regardless of Sang Jin getting scolded)

(After a while)

(When I)

(He couldn't care less and kept singing.)

(All he cares about is "at last.")

- That's impressive. - In the middle of everything...

(Sniffling)

Next is...

By the way, Sung Tae...

- Sung Tae is a good dancer. - That's right.

I suggested to him "TOO BAD" by G-DRAGON.

(Playful facial expressions and steps are key.)

It's coming out.

I don't care anymore.

(How will it turn out?)

- Oh, my. - He's good.

(His foot skills are close to G-DRAGON's.)

Gosh, you look cool.

(He doesn't miss the smallest detail.)

Oh, my.

He's good.

- Gosh. - Goodness.

(Satisfied)

- That was nice. - Gosh.

- Well done. - Goodness.

He's good.

- Sung Tae, you did it. - He made it.

You can do it.

- The steps were clear. - You can do it.

- That move is difficult. - You can do it.

You can do it.

- Weren't you in a dance club? - Well done.

- Briefly in middle school. - Right?

- See that? - Sung Tae made it.

- My gosh. - Nice.

Sung Tae got it.

- He got it. - Yes, he got it.

Kwang Kyu was a little disappointing.

It broke my heart to see Sang Jin injured.

Sung Tae made us breathe again.

- Sung Tae is good at dancing. - He's good.

I can't sleep these days.

My gosh.

- Sung Tae is a good dancer. - I can't stop thinking about it.

You can't prepare for the talent show carelessly.

- No. - You must do it with care.

You have to prepare it properly like Sung Tae...

- to present it to the audience. - Right.

By the way, there's an issue.

Coincidentally, Haha and Jun Ha...

- What? - What's wrong?

- "2 Legit 2 Quit..." - Yes, by MC Hammer.

By MC Hammer.

Both of you picked the same song.

- I mean... - What?

- I've been preparing this. - What do we do?

("2 Legit 2 Quit" in 1991)

(Capturing the confidence of MC Hammer in his prime)

(Famous for its flashy dance moves and performance)

(MC Hammer)

I had prepared it thinking that it'd be useful one day.

When I heard about the fan-meet, I thought, "This is it."

- Me too. - It was perfect.

And so,

- remember when I played basketball? - Yes.

I had a profound realisation.

When I saw Jun Ha going into the balloon,

- I was reminded of "X-Man." - I see.

(In their early days, when they tried everything)

(His passion on full acceleration)

(Burning with determination)

- This? - While thinking of that time,

I wanted to do my best to prepare for it.

After returning to my initial mindset,

I've been preparing for it since then.

Both of you picked the same song.

- Let's take a look first. - I mean...

- We have to compare them. - Wait.

The choreography is all set.

- Is it? - I finalized everything.

We just had our meeting, and I'm recording it tomorrow.

- I have a dance group. - Also,

I came up with new lyrics for the song.

What new lyrics?

- What? - What are the lyrics?

The lyrics? Do you want to hear them?

- Yes. - Here's what I did.

- Okay. - One, two.

- I changed the lyrics. - Go.

Brother Jun Ha, Jun Ha, Jun Ha, brother, brother

- Brother Jun Ha - He sounds like indigenous people.

- I got it. It's okay. - This is...

I got it. At this rate...

Here's what I did originally.

To the song "2 Legit 2 Quit..."

I used my name in the lyrics.

- Brother Jun Ha - Jun Ha, Jun Ha, brother, brother

- This is how you changed them? - The recording is tomorrow.

He shouldn't record it tomorrow.

Jun Ha, could you come up?

- Are you ready? - Okay.

(He gets on stage to calm down their ambiguous response.)

Let's go!

Usually...

Isn't that Cho Hye Lyun?

This is...

Isn't that Cho Hye Lyun?

- I can't do this. - What is that?

- What is this? - This is the move.

- What are you doing? - Usually...

- What's this? - You have to grab it.

No way.

Go back to your seat.

- Just go back. - You'll be amazed...

- as soon as I say my name. - Mine is better.

- Brother Jun Ha - It'll be over when I say it.

If this is it, he can go ahead.

This is...

It's different from yours. What is yours like?

- Can you show us a little? - Let's compare them.

Jun Ha said that he'd learn the choreography this Sunday.

He's a little late.

- Right. - I'm not late.

The choreography is quite difficult.

(Haha looks very confident.)

I'm cool.

- Didn't he dance in a suit? - It's very difficult.

It's new jack swing.

Nice. He looks exactly the same.

(Bang)

(What?)

Look at his eyes.

- I'll go easy. - Yes, take your time.

Take your time.

(Sharp)

(DANG DIGGI BANG)

Wait a minute.

- Wait a minute. - Wait.

- Wait a minute. - What is it?

- You added "DANG DIGGI BANG." - Why not?

- You can't add that. - Come on.

He changed them to "Brother Jun Ha."

- "DANG DIGGI..." - Hey.

- Why would you add that? - "DANG DIGGI..."

- I'm being sincere. - Don't do it.

I'm being sincere about it.

- Why would you add "DANG DIGGI?" - I'm being sincere.

Get rid of "DANG DIGGI."

It's one of my few hit songs.

- Get rid of "DANG DIGGI." - Let me go.

"DANG DIGGI..."

- Use the original song. - Get rid of "DANG DIGGI."

"DANG DIGGI" in the song...

- For the song... - Get lost.

Hey.

- Hey, let me go. - Wait.

Gosh, let me go.

Hey, get rid of "DANG DIGGI."

Should I say, "I say woo?"

- Stop it. - Seriously.

- What are you doing? - I like it.

- Hey. - Why would you add "DANG DIGGI?"

Why can't I add it?

Why would you add "DANG DIGGI" to this song?

My fans like it.

- It's none of your business. - Why would you add that?

- It's none of your business. - Don't participate.

- You're out. - What?

- Why? - You're out.

- You're out. - Why?

(Chaos)

- You stay out of it. - You stay out.

Hey, take him out.

(Dong Hoon, be nice.)

(He takes him safely back to his seat.)

- Take him out. - Please be quiet.

I haven't done anything wrong.

You just said "DANG DIGGI BANG."

Don't you dare sing "DANG DIGGI BANG!"

"Brother Jun Ha" is much better.

- Why would you add "DANG DIGGI?" - Neither of you should do it.

Jae Seok.

That's not genuine.

How is it not genuine? It's my song.

Is that his song?

To "2 Legit 2 Quit," why would you...

Why would you mix an unpopular song with a popular one?

Why you...

(Please vote for Joo Woo Jae and Haha...)

(for the Best Couple Award on "2025 MBC Entertainment Awards.")

- It's a very popular song. - In that case,

why would someone unpopular sing "Every Moment of You?"

Come on.

Why would he sing a G-DRAGON song?

Please calm down.

- First of all... - How annoying...

Let me explain.

If he adds "DANG DIGGI" to the song...

and calls his friends with the flag...

- No way. - The flag...

Don't hold up the flag.

You'd better not hold up the flag.

You'd better not hold up the flag.

My goodness.

- You will exhaust us. - Why can't I hold up the flag?

- Don't hold up the flag. - Seriously.

- By the way, - For now...

does "DANG DIGGI" cause such a big problem?

We don't know what it is.

He asked me what "DANG DIGGI" was.

He uses "DANG DIGGI" often.

(During the dispute over "DANG DIGGI" a moment ago)

- Don't add "DANG DIGGI." - Get lost.

(Confused)

- What's the problem? - He used his own song.

His own song?

Kwang Kyu, you don't know what "DANG DIGGI BANG" is?

- No. - You don't know that song?

I didn't know that it was Haha's song.

- Exactly. - I want to see the whole thing.

Then go ahead.

- Show us. - "DANG DIGGI..."

Let's watch the whole thing.

(It will be fun.)

- Show us. - Let's see.

- Look at that. - This is...

(Watch carefully.)

(I'll show you who owns this song.)

It's changing again.

He's good.

All right.

He's good.

(Do you see my initial mindset?)

Nice.

- That's enough. - Stop.

- You did a lot. - Please stop there.

That was nice.

- He got back his initial mindset... - Well done.

on variety shows.

- He got it back after a long time. - He did well.

At this rate, "2 Legit 2 Quit" belongs...

- to Haha. - I agree.

- Based on what we saw. - I made progress.

You're right.

Haha is well prepared.

I have a secret weapon anyway.

You do? That's good.

- Please get ready for it. - Okay.

Next up is Hong Man.

- This suits Hong Man perfectly. - It suits him.

- It really does. - What is it?

It suits Hong Man.

- Is it Techno Girl? - It's "Candy" by H.O.T.

- That's so cute. - Nice.

This song suits Hong Man.

("Candy" by H.O.T)

(H.O.T's mega hit that made the whole nation fall in love)

(Its lively choreography and adorable outfits are key.)

(The butt-bumping dance)

"Candy" by H.O.T?

Could you show us a little?

- I'll sing one verse while sitting. - Will Hong Man be able...

- All right. - This used to be...

my favourite song, so I'll sing with you.

- Actually, I'm getting ready - No, not yet.

- For our meeting - I haven't started yet.

Goodness.

- That's not the verse. - Don't do that.

Hong Man, calm down.

- Calm down. - We understand.

Jun Ha, why are you butting in so much today?

Jun Ha, it's my part!

- Okay. - It's my part!

Why is he interfering?

- Don't get in the way... - I was about to sing my part!

Calm down, Hong Man.

- What? - What did you say?

- What did you just say? - What?

- I was about to start. - You were about to start.

"Why are you interfering when I was about to start?"

He sounds like thunder when he gets angry.

(Thundering)

(Rudolph is quite startled.)

- He's good. - If Hong Man's voice comes out...

as an alarm, you'll definitely wake up.

- You have to get up. - You have to get up.

Get up!

- Exactly. - Say, "study."

Study!

"Turn off the TV."

Turn it off!

"Eat."

Eat!

- He's good. - He's good.

- He's good. It's hilarious. - He's really good.

Actually, I was going

To break up with you today

(He quickly starts humming.)

- He's sweating more... - It's scary.

- than when he was dancing earlier. - I know.

He was astonished.

- He's breaking out in a cold sweat. - "That's my part."

- Hong Man, are you okay now? - Yes?

- I'm fine. - Please calm down.

He's a fighter indeed.

(Sighing)

- I think I'll lose my voice. - Are you not going...

see his dance?

Come on! I was just going to do it!

I was speaking about it after a long while.

I'm sorry.

He's good.

Let's watch him dance to an H.O.T song then.

- On the bottom... - Let me...

- just sing the intro. - The intro.

I haven't practised yet.

So...

Right.

- He's good. - He's good.

Let's go!

(Dancing)

I'll stop here.

(This is it!)

(He said he didn't practice, but his dance was cute.)

It was good.

- It was nice. - I'm looking forward to it.

It makes me look forward to it.

(Producers in the Room need to brace themselves.)

- By the way, - The quality is amazing.

even though Kyeong Hwan didn't come last time,

- Yes. - he prepared something.

- But what is this? - It's different.

- What is it? - Are you going to recite your poem?

- What's the matter with you? - Why would you do that?

When something good happens,

- we give speeches and write poems. - Right.

So I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea...

to take a quiet moment to pause.

Did you prepare a poem?

- I did. - Just a poem?

- Yes. I wrote a poem... - He prepared it.

that reflected...

- You prepared it. - Yes.

I wrote a poem that reflected...

- In a poem... - each member's circumstances.

- If it fails, - Yes.

I'll have to do something else.

- It's good to try different things. - Right.

It'd be nice if there were background music for my poem.

For the background music,

go with "Every Moment of You."

- After a while - After a while

- Let me read it out loud. - Do you want me to sing it?

No. Please stay still.

- "Stay still." - Play the background music.

When the music plays...

(Kyeong Hwan reads the poem he wrote.)

Thank you for joining us at NPC's gathering today.

I prepared a poem.

This is new.

"It's flying away."

"Both my fans and my hair."

"Kim Kwang Kyu."

(Sighing)

"This is tasty, and so is that."

"There are all kinds of ways..."

"to rip people off. Jung Jun Ha."

"What I hate the most..."

"is overcharging people."

"Heo Sung Tae."

(He thinks it's ridiculous.)

(Gulping)

"Do you know me?"

"They shake their heads."

"Do you really not know me?"

"They shake their heads."

- He's sweating above his upper lip. - Listen.

- "Listen." - "Do you know..."

"a nearby restaurant then?"

"They nod."

"Han Sang Jin."

(Emotional)

"Hey, I'm here."

"Hey, I'm here."

"Choi Hong Man."

I think this is enough.

Let's listen until the end.

"Have you seen a bare branch facing winter?"

"I have."

"Yu Jae Seok."

"Have you seen the bigger branch..."

"next to it?"

- "Joo Woo Jae." - Focus on his sweat...

- "Joo Woo Jae." - above his upper lip.

Do you know what the cameraman said over there?

"Focus on his sweat above his upper lip."

He's good.

"Focus on his sweat above his upper lip."

"Focus on his sweat above his upper lip."

"Haha."

- Sweat is pooling over there. - I mean...

This will be my last time...

reading this poem.

"Heo Kyeong Hwan."

Because he was sweating over his upper lip,

- the cameraman wanted to focus. - Why did you stop in the middle?

He especially wants to film Kyeong Hwan in an artistic way.

His nickname is Focus on His Sweat Above His Upper Lip.

He's sweating so much above his upper lip.

It's frightening to imagine him...

- doing this on stage. - It'd be so...

- "It's flying away." - "It's flying away."

Kyeong Hwan's popularity is flying away.

It would've been a big problem if we hadn't heard his poem.

It seemed he thought we would laugh...

after saying "Kwang Kyu."

But no one laughed,

so he skipped to the next line and moved on to another one.

He moved on. Still, no one laughed.

- He moved on again. - He moved on again.

He went back and forth.

Okay. Kyeong Hwan.

- You have a week. - Yes.

You still have time.

It'll be a long time.

- The writer... - You haven't decided...

what to do yet.

- But... - Kyeong Hwan.

- I feel bad. - You don't have time.

- Time is running out. - Yes.

- The countdown has begun. - Yes.

What will Kyeong Hwan show...

- at the fan-meet? - I don't have enough time.

Woo Jae, since you watched it with me,

- Yes. - aren't you excited about it?

- Some people got me excited. - Nice.

Kwang Kyu, what are you looking forward to the most?

- Me? - Which one excites you the most?

I'm looking forward...

- to what Kyeong Hwan will show. - Why?

He just likes him.

- Yes. - Right.

He went for a poem like that.

Isn't he crazy?

(Isn't he crazy?)

I mean...

The fact that he has the nerve...

to express emotions at this level...

puts him a step above us.

Kyeong Hwan doesn't have much time now.

- Right. - It's like...

he wasted a week.

I've never seen someone sweat so much above their upper lip.

Anyway, I hope you...

prepare well over the remaining week.

Please take your seats...

according to the rankings.

(Heavy-hearted)

- Mister, come down. - Mister.

- I always feel at ease. - I'm going down.

There are no fans like my fans.

I have to go down.

Jun Ha is in last place.

The rankings changed a lot.

How come I went down immediately?

As I said earlier,

we're going to perform together.

How about singing "Must Have Love?"

I like this song.

- Because we were together - So...

as we said last week,

we don't have a main vocalist.

Jun Ha has to sing everything.

- Not bad. - Right.

(With his sweet, nasal voice,)

(he's quickly emerged as a strong candidate for main vocalist.)

Brother Jun Ha

- Jun Ha, Jun Ha, brother, brother - I mean...

Jun Ha can sing well,

but I wish there were someone who could sing other than him.

So today, we invited someone who will evaluate your vocals...

and help us.

Let's welcome him.

Yong Jun, please come out.

(Yong Jun, please come out.)

- SG Wannabe. - Really?

(Kim Yong Jun of SG Wannabe)

- It's Yong Jun. - Yong Jun.

The original singer.

Yong Jun.

(The leader of SG Wannabe)

(One of the original singers of "Must Have Love")

You sang "Must Have Love," right?

- Yes, I did. - Yes.

I haven't seen him for a long time.

It's been a very long time.

- One of my favourite vocalists. - Yong Jun.

Actually, Yong Jun...

appeared in an early episode of our show...

- Yes. - with members of SG Wannabe.

- SG Wannabe, right. - Yes.

They brought us joy.

- How have you been? - I released a song...

and had a concert in October.

- You lost a lot of weight. - Yes. He lost a lot of weight.

I can't look like a chubby yellowtail at a concert.

(Laughing)

You know about the NPCC, right?

- Yes. I watched it on TV. - I see.

I've been enjoying it.

- Actually, I felt exposed. - Why?

I felt exposed.

When they contacted me...

You thought you were one of them.

- No, you're not. - I was like, "What?"

- "Am I one of them?" - No.

- Let's be clear about Yong Jun. - He's popular.

SG Wannabe has fans.

They have so many fans.

- Yes. - Since Yong Jun joined us,

- we should find a main vocalist. - Yes.

If we had a main vocalist to cover most of the song,

- we could sing the remaining lines. - Right.

But we don't have a strong one.

Even the verse is too high.

I can't sing at all.

- Right. The song itself... - Isn't it crazy?

- is very high. - Yes.

It's pitched for a female vocal range.

- Really? - We should lower the key then.

- We should lower it then. - You can lower the key...

- to suit your range. - Yes.

So it won't be a problem.

- You should sing on the beat. - Right.

Then let's decide the main vocalist...

and distribute the lines.

Why am I nervous?

- Yong Jun, please listen first. - Yes.

Then we'll make decisions later.

Which part should we start from?

At first, it starts off with the chorus,

then a verse,

and then back to the chorus.

(It starts with a chorus, unlike most songs.)

(It's followed by a verse.)

Yong Jun, why don't you sing just a bit of the song as a preview?

Sounds good!

(We'll listen to the original artist sing it first.)

- Nice. - It's like a preview.

- I wanted to listen. - I want to listen too.

- "Must Have Love." - Yes.

- "Must." - "Must Have Love."

(An intro full of the year-end vibe)

(An exciting beat that makes your heart race)

It's high.

- Precious memories - Precious memories

(Because you're always there)

(On good days)

(Unforgettable)

(Memories)

(Impressed)

It's over.

This is the intro we want.

I think Jun Ha...

and Yong Jun have similar vocal tones.

- What? - What?

We were happy because

- We sound the same. - What?

Memories

(Is he satisfied?)

Can you sing "Every Moment of You," please?

The one that goes "After a while."

- Kwang Kyu. - Kwang Kyu!

"Every Moment of You."

- Yong Jun is going to sing it. - Try singing.

This song is really hard.

- It touches your heart. - Yes.

You need to express subtle emotions.

It's not meant to be sung loudly.

("Every Moment of You" by Kim Yong Jun)

Gosh.

(Checking mic)

Let's listen to Yong Jun sing.

Not you.

- Not you. - No.

- It's him. - Hold on.

Wait.

Kwang Kyu, do you want to have a showdown with Yong Jun?

- I was perplexed. - Do you want to have a showdown?

(After a while)

This is what I'm talking about.

This is it.

(His sweet voice captivated their ears from the beginning.)

(Staring)

(Singing along quietly)

(My world)

- Try singing. - Sing the next part.

Let's go.

(When you breathe)

(A warm breeze flows by)

(He sings offbeat.)

(Clapping on the beat for him)

(Because you were there for me)

(Because it's you)

It sounds good.

(Because you sometimes lean quietly)

(On my shoulder sometimes)

(Yong Jun continues singing after him.)

(I'm always happy)

(Slowly)

(I look into you)

(Because I can’t do anything)

(Singing off key)

(Here it is.)

(He's singing freely again.)

It's the best.

(Just thinking about you)

(Fills my heart)

(With you)

(They managed to finish the duet.)

You'll sound good if you try just a bit more.

I hope Yong Jun can teach him just a few times.

- Well... - A lesson?

I'm really sorry,

but he sang way too off-beat.

- I know. - Yes.

If you give Kwang Kyu lessons,

I think his singing style will influence you.

- Like his pronunciation. - "After a while."

Kwang Kyu's falsetto...

made my heart ache.

(Nothing else)

- It made my heart ache. - It was real falsetto.

It was a real falsetto.

It made me realise that Jun Ha can actually sing.

- Jun Ha is good. - He can really sing.

I don't want to admit it, but Jun Ha is the main vocalist.

- Then Yong Jun, - Yes.

if you want to check...

whether someone's fit to be the main vocalist,

you need to hear them sing the highlight, right?

Let's listen to each person sing.

If you're confident...

with the high notes, please sing first.

(A group song for the fan-meet)

(A line-distribution battle to become the main vocalist)

(Who will win this battle?)

Kwang Kyu, please sing first.

(4th place, Kim Kwang Kyu, who wants to become the main vocalist)

(Jee Sung Kyu, a keyboardist)

(Missing the beat)

Let me do it again. I'm sorry.

(Is this hard?)

(Relaxed)

To be more specific,

you need to keep the beat like a young person.

- Right. - You know what it is, right?

- Hey. - Excuse me.

- You're in your 40s too. - How old are you?

- You punk. - How old are you, punk?

- Woo Jae. - I'm the youngest here.

Please choose your words carefully.

Give it a try.

(He tries to keep the beat like a young person again.)

(We were happy)

(Because we were together)

- "Happy." - "Happy."

(His restrained pronunciation)

Hold on. I'm sorry.

Wait. I'm sorry, Kwang Kyu,

but are you from the North?

Actually, this song...

Just because we were together,

- we were happy. - I'm not familiar with the song.

Sing it quickly.

I was happy.

Since we couldn't listen to him properly, shall we listen again?

But he has a problem with pronunciation.

- Try to sing in a Seoul accent. - I mean...

We just met, and you made a mistake.

Kwang Kyu, try to sing in a Seoul accent.

- In a Seoul accent? Got it. - In a Seoul accent.

He's never spoken in a Seoul accent.

(Can he sing a carol with a Seoul accent?)

One, two, three, four.

(We were happy)

(Because we were together)

"Happy."

(Precious memories)

(Of our winter days)

We need a vocalist who keeps the beat like a young person.

(Because you're always there)

(On good days)

(Unforgettable)

(Memories)

(He takes out his anger on him for no reason.)

Jae Seok,

we need a vocalist who keeps the beat like a young person.

(Singing like a young person)

- It should go like this. - Well...

(Singing like an old person)

- Woo Jae. - Yes?

- You keep saying he should sing... - Right.

like a young person...

Hey, does he sing like an old person then?

- He sings like an old person. - We know it too.

You little...

- What do you know? - Everyone is being quiet about it.

- What do you know? - We just don't talk about it.

Why do you have to point it out?

Kwang Kyu, I'm sorry. I'll tell him off.

- Heo Kyeong Hwan. - You will get old too.

You'll age too.

Next is Sung Tae.

(The second candidate for main vocalist)

(3rd place, Heo Sung Tae, Is his skill in the top 3 as well?)

(Is he keeping him in check?)

(We were happy)

He sounds good.

(Because we were together)

I don't know how that goes.

(Our precious memories of winter days)

- He sounds good. - He's good.

- It's nice. - He's quite good.

(The vocal coach agrees.)

(Because you're always there)

(He sang the high notes in his chest voice.)

(Memories)

(He's an unexpected candidate for main vocalist.)

- It was nice. - He's good.

- He's full of spirits. - He's better than I thought.

Sung Tae.

- It was too high. - You sounded manly.

He didn't sing in falsetto.

- He's full of spirits. - I like his energy.

Next is Kyeong Hwan.

- Wait. Kyeong Hwan. - I...

- Don't try to make us laugh. - No.

I'm going to sing seriously.

This is for the fans. I'm not going to try to be funny.

Okay. It's in a female vocal range.

Kyeong Hwan is a good singer.

Yes, he's good.

(We were happy because we were together)

(Adding vibrato)

(He couldn't contain his urge to be funny.)

The vibrato.

The vibrato was nice.

(Precious memories)

- The vibrato. - That's enough.

(Because you're always there)

(Adding vibrato)

(Unforgettable)

(Adding vibrato)

He sounds good.

- He was so relaxed. - Yes.

- He can sing high notes. - He could reach high notes.

It wasn't bad.

I see his potential as a main vocalist.

- As a main vocalist? - If he doesn't do this...

- He tried to be funny at the end. - Because of that...

- If he doesn't do that... - I can't stop doing this.

- Nice. - He has a nice tone.

You seem to have more potential than I thought.

So does Sung Tae.

- They're really good. - They're good.

(Gulping)

Now, a strong candidate for main vocalist...

is drinking his second bottle of water.

Don't make him sing.

(Memories)

Should I sing now?

(Getting ready to sing in a nasal voice)

(Memories)

- All right, Jun Ha. - Yes.

(9th place, Jung Jun Ha, Number 1 main vocalist with a nasal voice)

(Will he become the main vocalist?)

- Jun Ha. - Yes.

(9th place, Jung Jun Ha, Number 1 main vocalist with a nasal voice)

(Excited)

(We were happy)

- Because we were together - Maybe he drank too much water.

(Precious memories)

(Of our winter days)

He sounds like someone is choking him.

(Grabbing his collar)

(Because you're always there on good days)

(Mute)

(Stopping midway)

Hold on.

- Hold on. - Is that how dolphins sing?

He sounded like Mariah Carey.

(Humans couldn't hear his high-pitched sound.)

I think someone was choking him from behind.

The writer was listening.

(She shook her head.)

When the writer gave up, I wanted to give up too.

- Haha. - My goodness.

As you know, I can't sing high notes.

But I'll try.

Try singing in your own style.

(We were happy)

He's doing an impression of Lee Moon Sae.

It's Lee Moon Sae.

(He copies his singing method as well as his face.)

(Precious)

Come on!

Hey, why are you turning over the mic?

(Because you're always there)

(Singing falsetto)

(Unforgettable)

(Memories)

It's upgraded.

- Hey. - I can't hit the high notes.

You can't turn over the mic from the beginning.

- You know the song. - From the beginning...

It's a festival.

That was hilarious.

Let me give you a tip.

You should sing the last part in falsetto.

(The high notes in the last part)

- Because you're always there - Next up is Delusion Sang Jin.

(The sixth main vocalist candidate: Sang Jin)

I can't hit the high notes. I'm in trouble.

I'll have to sing it an octave lower.

He has dedicated his life only to acting.

(We were happy because we were together)

(Because we were together)

(We were happy)

(Vocal training)

(Precious memories)

(Of our winter days)

He's good.

(Stable voice thanks to the forced abdominal breathing)

(Because you're always there)

(Singing falsetto)

Unforgettable

(He barely finished singing.)

That was hilarious.

(The wall of high notes is as high as the wall of popularity.)

- I sang in falsetto. - How was it?

(Because we were together)

- I'm scared. - We were happy

He's terrifying.

I think you should sing with your own voice.

(Precious memories)

Nice.

(Because you're always there)

(On good days)

(Unforgettable)

(Memories)

This is it.

- That was nice. - If you do this, it's no problem.

Our team has more individuality than any other team.

That's true. Isn't that nice?

They all have different personalities.

- It's cool. - We're like...

(Personality no. 1)

He's from North Korea.

(Personality no. 2)

"We were happy because we were together."

- "We were happy." - All right.

How did you like it, Yong Jun?

First... Well...

- I've thought about it. - Okay.

I can do this.

(The competition for the vocal part was fierce.)

(Who will be the main vocalist?)

The members with the best vocal tones are...

Heo Kyeong Hwan, Heo Sung Tae, and Kim Kwang Kyu.

- Really? - Kwang Kyu.

- Kwang Kyu is... - He's good, isn't he?

the one who pulled off the falsetto part the best.

Right. He has a good falsetto voice.

How about they all sing the chorus...

- they just sang together? - They sing together? Good.

And the rest... Oh, right.

- The rest? - What?

- Yong Jun. - The rest...

I can't even make it here?

Do I have to be one of them?

With these three?

Jun Ha was a candidate for the main vocalist.

- Jun Ha. - The main vocalist.

- He's... - He's lost everything.

- Seriously, Jun Ha lost everything. - He lost his everything.

He lost his popularity.

- The main vocalist. - The main vocalist position.

- He lost everything. - He lost his popularity.

Everything.

He's lost his everything.

(He's practising non-possession against his will.)

- I only got a laugh. - And...

there's the part where they sing in a low voice.

- That's me. - I want them to do it.

I can do it well.

The chorus is okay because they all sing it together,

- Right. - But the verse part...

- is tricky. - It's difficult.

(The verse after the first chorus)

(Verse A)

(And Verse B is sung in falsetto.)

Gosh, it's difficult to sing.

That's the part that has to be sung solo.

- I have to take this part. - Right.

Actually, the one who sings this part is the main star.

- That's true. - All eyes will be on it.

(The familiar sound of music)

- Jun Ha, that's enough. - Yes?

- We are assigning the parts. - I just...

Jun Ha lost everything today.

He seems to have regrets.

I think I have the answer now.

- You do? - For this part,

I have two people in mind.

- You do? - Yes.

For this part...

A street filled with the familiar sound of music

This part should go to Haha.

(The beginning of Verse A goes to Haha.)

- That's surprising. - I can do this.

- He has such a unique voice. - Okay.

- Thank you. - Jun Ha seems very frustrated now.

- It will have a different feel. - Jun Ha.

- Jun Ha doesn't have anything. - The next part...

that goes, "Snow falling like white foam and piling up gently."

This part should go to Sung Tae.

(The second part of Verse A goes to Heo Sung Tae.)

- That sounds great. - Nice.

Am I being left out of the song?

No.

We still have many parts left.

Now, I'd like to hear this part...

- with both of their voices. - Shall we do that?

Let's lower it by one key.

We've already lowered it by three keys, but lower it again?

Yes. We should lower it further.

It should be lower.

- It's on the second basement level. - Yes.

It should be on the 4th or 5th basement level?

- Yes. - It's like a bunker.

We might discover oil.

On the 4th or 5th basement level,

they will probably pull it off.

When people watch the performance,

they might wonder why the song sounds so boring.

- That's not good. - There's the risk.

If it's that low... Oh, well.

Let's lower it by two keys.

Good. Haha and Sung Tae will sing it together.

I feel like crying.

Please.

- Is it your specialty? - This is so funny.

(Haha: A street filled with the familiar sound of music)

(Sung Tae: Snow falling like white foam)

(Sung Tae: And piling up gently)

- I can't do this. - Nice. It sounds good.

I like it.

It will be better if they practice it a little.

You need to practice it.

I'll work hard. I swear.

We are assigning the parts...

- I got it! - one by one.

I think Jun Ha should sing this part.

- This part? - Yes.

For this part...

For this part, I think...

(The last chance to claim the solo part)

I'd like Kwang Kyu and Jun Ha to try this part.

- Good. - I'd like to hear them sing.

(Finally!)

- Bells heard from afar - This is an important part.

This is really difficult.

- The clear sound of bells - If you can't do it,

- I'll find someone else... - The clear sound of bells

- Heard from afar - Did you hear Yong Jun?

"Just give it a try. If you can't do it, I'll find someone else."

- Right. It's not settled. - Jun Ha...

The one who can sing falsetto should sing the first part.

- Kwang Kyu sang falsetto earlier. - He did.

(The clear sound of bells)

(Heard from afar)

Good.

- Clear - Try singing the part.

This is hard.

It feels like it was prepared just for me

- It's over. - They look like Mom and Dad.

- From last week. - Last week...

The 60-year-old couple.

- I feel like crying. - You should do that for us.

The clear sound of bells

Sing the part for me.

The clear sound of bells

- If it's hard, I'll help you. - Okay.

He says he will help him.

(Kwang Kyu: The clear sound of bells heard from afar)

(Ambiguous)

(Jun Ha: It feels like it was prepared just for me)

(It's so beautiful)

(Singing in falsetto)

(Sighing)

(A performance that is too overripe for young people)

My voice got hoarse.

- You should be understanding. - Okay. I think...

Kwang Kyu has the best voice for this part.

- The clear sound - He can practice.

And Jun Ha should do the second part.

- This part should go to Jun Ha. - Yes.

- These two get this part. - The two of them should do it.

They can do that.

As for the part that goes, "It's so beautiful."

Sang Jin and Kyeong Hwan should sing it.

(Kyeong Hwan and Sang Jin sing the last part of the verse.)

(The assigned parts of "Must Have Love")

(Verse A, Verse B)

(Verse A: Haha, Sung Tae)

(Verse B: Kwang Kyu, Jun Ha, Kyeong Hwan, Sang Jin)

Since it's a fan-meet, we have to be well prepared.

Of course. We have to do it with sincerity.

- Listen to it all the time. - Right.

- Of course. - We have to practice hard.

- Sure. - We can try our best.

This isn't a joke.

Anyway, it's not like all the parts...

- are assigned here today. - Right.

- Because... - Two members are absent now.

- Bong Sik isn't here. - Right.

We have one week left.

Within one week...

I can't say it will be a great performance.

But we will try our best to present a good performance.

It will be awkward.

This is it for today.

(Stand up.)

One, two, three.
