Weekly Seoul

Sang-kyu.

Gis are stepping out of the barracks next week.

Prepare a smoking repertoire like the twist, okay?

What a tightwad, she charged us for our beers again.

Yanks heads are so goddamn tiny.

These hats make me numb in the head, you know?

Hey, Sang-kyu.

Wanna try out the US 8th Army? There's an audition in Busan.

Hey, that won't do.

Come, we need to see something else.

Hey.

Those dudes are real army base boys, genuine originals.

I had a drink with that dude, he's one low down dirty outlaw.

Rebels were all kicked out, and the group became a mess.

But, those sons-of-bitches seem to have what it takes.

You fucking nigger!

That son-of-a-bitch!

What a big fucking mess!

- Wanna help them out? - What?

Come on, come.

Hey, Man-sik.

You've improved your guitar skills.

The music you're into lately, you know, black music.

I tried it out, and it's just my kind of music.

Are you sure? Your vocals do have a hint of Soul.

But then again, yout music doesn't carry any Soul.

What?

There's one thing you dudes need to know.

One of your instruments is getting pretty crappy.

And it's the most crucial one…

- Your vocals! - Vocals!

How interesting!

Continue.

You do the lead guitar, I'll do the vocals.

You, brass, us, drum and bass It'll be a six man group!

How about it?

He cracks me up.

Hey, come over here.

Those fuckers keep on talking shit.

Yeah but they seem to have talent.

Are you crazy? You really wanna join them?

You said they're outlaws, didn't you?

He's right, Sang-kyu.

Moonface, you wanna put that stupid cowboy hat on again?

A bigger band doesn't mean a bigger pay.

And that's a fact, right?

No, we can become the star band of every club in the neighborhood.

Bravo?

So are you gonna do it or not?

Smoking on a 'happy smoke' like this.

So, Jimi Hendrix was totally high…

…playing his guitar like crazy when he suddenly masturbated.

That's how his snapping technique began.

That's where it came from

Wilson Pickett!

It was my first time, right?

Right as I played this record, out rang his rendition of Hey Jude

I almost blacked out. It was better than the original.

From that day on I was hooked on black music.

Anyway, how did you dudes get into black music?

Through church…

Chur…what?

Church, where you serve god.

He played in the kids' church band next to his orphanage.

That's how he began music Angels, get it?

With so many blacks on the army base, the church was all black.

Angels my ass. You're just a bunch of diabolic scamps.

Nothing but diabolic scamps, you assholes.

Oh yeah, diabolic scamps! How's that for a band name!

Man-sik, you know English, what's that in English?

Wow!

It's beautiful on you.

You really look like a devil.

Hey, I've never seen you around before, who're you with?

I'm with the kitchen, so just go play your guitar.

Isn't she a wildcat?

But one word from Sang-kyu and she becomes a kitten.

Hey, pea sized head! Bring me a glass of barley tea! [NT: A cup of beer]

Pea sized head?

Okay!

Sang-kyu's always teasing her for having a small head.

But I think she's a babe.

Sweet… so the dude's her sugar daddy?

She's not a Yankee whore, asshole!

She was a kitchen hand at our club.

But she's been dogging Sang-kyu so he'd teach her how to sing.

She's been making those weird outfits too…

And now she's already tagged along to this place.

If she were a Yankee whore, she'd be cashing in big time.

Yankee whore?

She'd never cave into something like that.

There was a black officer who was totally into her.

The dude had tons of original LPs from the PX.

After crappy pirated LPs, original LPs are the best, right?

Sang-kyu told her she had to learn from a real brother.

He pushed Mimi into the dude's room to sneak some LPs out.

But she took a bite out the dude's sausage.

Sang-kyu's one mean asshole.

Fucking sons-of-bitches…

What's her name?

No one knows her real name, but she wants to be called Mimi.

Don't know if she's crazy about music or Sang-kyu.

But that Mimi's one crazy bitch.

Hmm, well crazy means she's got Soul in her.

…and throw your head back.

It's the latest dance moves among Yankees.

Hey, you're here!

Hi, the music's great. Good!

But, what kind of music is it?

Soul, don't you know? Don't you know Soul?

Soul.

So-ul…

Seoul!

Ever since the Vietnam War…

…there's zero enlistments cause no one wants to die.

Fuck, we're no Tarzan.

You'd be nuts going into the Vietnam jungles to get shot at.

You said Sang-kyu's an orphan, right?

So how come he's received a call-up paper?

Sang-kyu wasn't an orphan back then.

His mom died right after he got his physicals.

Terrible timing when his music career's about to take off…

Hey.

- Take a look at this… - Hey! Get lost!

Jeez, you guys are pathetic…

Do you know what's happening in Seoul?

There's this new Playboy Cup rock contest.

Kids from all over the spectrum are flocking there!

A major boom in rock music.

A major boom in rock music has hit the public.

Now, in Seoul!

How much was The Phoenixes prize money last year?

- Wow, $1,000! - Bullshit

The Phoenixes? Who are the fuckers?

Ten, one hundred one thousand…jeez!

You can't call this a real stage, you know?

It's nothing but a consolation stage for Gis.

All the girls here are Yankee whores or cooks, right?

$1,000… that's enough to buy a car.

Never in a thousand years would you make $1,000…

$1,000? Sounds mighty good!

Too much thinking won't change your life.

Fuck, Let's rock and roll!

If we become a runner up, the music you do, Soul.

It'll be its grand debut in Seoul…

The 2nd Playboy Cup Rock Band Contest

Fucking shit, the Seoul crowd stinks.

Hey, asshole, how come you were so off key today?

And finally, this wasn't part of our program…

…but, we'd like to present a special award to…

The most shocking debut performance of the day.

…The Devils

- What did he say? - Wasn't that us?

- Are you The Devils? - Yes.

You're on.

Everyone, give these young kids a big round of applause!

Hurrah!

Bear Co. flour will be presented as an extra prize.

Good job.

This broadcast was presented to you by the ultimate beer hall,...

… Amazon...

…and OB's Cabin, presenters of the nation's finest music.

You guys were great!

The Seoul crowd isn't quite getting your black music though.

See them over there? You know who they are?

The owners of the music salons in Myungdong.

They're scouting the most popular group in this contest.

- Can I get your autograph? - Of course.

I enjoy reading your Benny's Pop Song English

Yes, thank you. It's a beautiful evening.

Thank you.

That's it!

Korea's very first Soul Brothers! Right?

Black-looking guys like you, right?

Not your tear-jerking-slaves- dragged-out-of-Africa music.

But the kind you can rock the house with, right?

That's what your music's all about.

Soul music from army base outlaws…

- Anyway, give me a ring soon. - Good bye!

Thank you!

Weekly Seoul! Wow!

Entertainment reporter!

Excuse me, but do you have a place to stay in Seoul?

[O'bok Motel]

- Look who's outside. - Where've you been?

Shhh!

Get over here, quick.

Look.

- What the hell… - The Devils…cool!

What are you gonna tell dad?

The roof top room. It's too cold for people to stay.

You're nuts!

Okay, I'll fold towels for a month.

Then, the roof top room… We'll have to clean it up.

- Wait for me! - Be quiet.

…The nation's independent endeavor for a peaceful unification…

…is the spirit of the Revitalizing Reform.

By directing our strengths and actions toward production…

[Weekly Seoul]

[Wind of Change: Revitalizing Reform]

[Crackdown on all Social Evils]

This is fucking bullshit…

- Why are you back already? - I can't get myself to go inside.

Hey! At least go in and ask.

The bandmaster should be talking to him, not me.

You think I'd let you tag along for nothing? Dressed like this?

I called him more than 100 times. He won't pick up.

My pride's been crushed.

Besides, he doesn't look like he'd answer a dude's call.

That's why you should go. You know the magazine well.

Go! Go ask him. You sweet thing…

- But... - My pea size head!

Hello there!

Who're you?

The Devils…

The contest…

Soul Man…skeletons…

- Ah, The Devils - Right!

We've been in Seoul for a month.

We've called you many times, but you never picked up.

- We went to that music salon… -Your timing's awful.

Excuse me?

We're under Martial Law.

Pop culture's all frozen up.

Every TV.radio show with bands is now a showcase for the elderly.

There's only pot-bellied veterans on the air these days.

And major tax levies have been shutting music salons down.

What?

To make matters worse, look at this, look.

[Fire at the Citizen's Hall: 51 dead]

It's like throwing dynamite into a blazing fire.

The last Rock and Roll stage has been burnt to ashes!

This is the reality in Seoul now!

- Let's go eat! - Okay!

Wait!

Please, I beg you.

Let go of me.

Where are you staying in Seoul?

At a tiny motel.

We're running out of food…

And it's getting colder… We're doomed…

- You said it's been a month? - Yes.

Someone's looking for an unusual accompaniment band.

- Want to make some money? - Yes sir!

Shit, I'm dumping it all in, everything!

Hey, Mimi, we'll be eating rice from tomorrow, right?

Good job, you're the best

I made this kimchi, try it.

Oh, Young-ja bravo.

Dong-su, you look just like a black man.

Delicious!

I'm not doing it! I can't! I said I'm not doing it!

See ya! Bye!

He made me speak to the guy…

- So he has to do it… - Hey!

Oh, hot, hot, hot…

Here comes Dong-su's hodgepodge stew.

.Thanks

I dumped all the leftovers in and it tastes terrific…

- Sang-kyu, eat and then we'll talk - Bon appetite.

But they said we can do our rendition on side B.

Side B?

It'll still be folk songs for old geezers…fucking shit!

Who says some songs are better than others?

Goddamn it! But why do they have to be folk songs, folk!

I never sang folk since elementary school…

Send her back home for Christ's sake!

- Hey, dude - Huh?

Give me that, guitar.

Birds…shit…

Birds…birds are flying in… Okay.

Hey, Dong-geun, the Samba.

Yeah, sounds cool.

Yeah, right?

Hey, it works, Sang-kyu, it works…

Sounds good!

This is rock and roll.

We just need a little icing with the vocals…

Yeah, okay…I'm not complaining We need this to survive, right?

But unlike you instruments, vocals are different!

You'd never understand.

Asshole.

All kinds of birds are flying in.

From this mountain they cry.

Sang-kyu.

Sit over there.

You think you'll become a singer if you're with me?

Don't kid yourself

I'm not capable of making you one

I can't even provide you room and meals.

Young-ja's providing the room anyway

I'm so jealous of smiling people walking on the streets

I'm a draft dodger who jumps just at the sight of cops

I totally identify with guilty people these days.

How would you know when you're happy living off a sack of flour.

Fuck, Seoul wasn't supposed to be like this.

The world is not so nice and easy you know!

So go home!

- I can't go! - Why? How come?

No, I'm not going! I have my own reasons!

Give me a break, what reasons?

After what happened with that black officer…

I thought about it for over a month in my room, right?

That you made me do it cause you loved music so much.

Then I thought, 'how about me?'

Do I love music that much?'

'Wow, this must be what music's all about!'

I thought of you always and singing after records…

…while others were slacking around.

So…so you are.

So you are…

You are…'Soul' to me!

Is there any better reason to an aspiring singer?

Hey…

Are you by any chance…

Is it because we slept together that one night back then?

That's not why you're doing this, is it?

It isn't, right?

Hey, you little twerp

I hate anything attached to me whether it's girls or jewels

I hate it… Once you really get to know me…

Sang-kyu…

So…you are…

Come here…

Come…

Awe shit…

You sons-of-bitches!

What were you doing?

We even developed our chorus, you know?

What do you think, you morons, I was practicing.

Just finish what you've started!

Back off!

Shit, every fucking time I try to do something…!

Shit…

It's here, it's here.

At the end of hardship happiness is here.

Do not lament being penniless.

You never know what life will bring.

You may sleep in a hut, eating nothing but barley and greens.

But like the kind-hearted Hung-bu Kind deeds will bring you riches.

So endure and persevere.

Now side B!

You've got only two hours Let's go.

Hey, hey!

You've never done a recording before, have you?

This is not a dance hall, so be gentle with the mic!

What made him so uptight?

Let's start after a smoke.

Hey!

You assholes!

You can't fucking smoke in there!

Unbelievable!

Hey, hey, let's go!

- Two hours tops! - Okay.

Let's go!

Birds are flying in All kinds of birds are flying in.

There are phoenixes, good harvest birds that bid longevity.

From this mountain they sing.

From that mountain they sing.

They fly left and right singing.

Let's rock and roll!

From this mountain they sing.

From that mountain they sing.

They fly left and right singing.

It's here! It's here!

This mountain, that mountain.

This mountain, that mountain.

This mountain, that mountain.

This mountain, that mountain

Kim Young-joong Folk Song Collection'

Accompaniment by The Devils

Open all night after the midnight curfew…

You think it'll work?

You know the foreigners-only club at the Chosun Hotel?

They're open all night because it's a hotel.

We'll use that to our advantage!

There's no place where young kids can go these days.

What about rock bands? Most of them are jobless.

If we introduce them to each other…

Gentlemen, it'll be a hit!

The location will be the Oriental Hotel

I'll find the bands.

Talented kids who'll rock the place all night!

What's in it for you?

Me?

The nights are so quiet these days

I want there to be a bit more noise.

What about the club name?

I've got something in mind.

Nirvana!

It means Seventh Heaven.

This is what a Havard scholar introduced as the key Hippie…

…idea which it's three catch phrases are: Turn on!

Light the fire in your hearts.

Tune in!

Focus!

Drop Out! Drop out of social institutions!

That's what you call, Nirvana!

It means you need to find your own ecstasy, right?

This is exactly what Buddha said as well, interesting, right?

The three bands of Nirvana sitting here!

Together, I want to give the young rock music generation…

…that kind of ecstasy!

What do you think youth culture is all about?

The nights with curfews are so boring.

Midnight revolution!

Okay!

Club Nirvana

Hurry, come on!

- Wow, look at all these people - Slow down.

What's that? Wow…

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Hey, what's that?

A present for the singer.

The happy times I've spent with you…

…are so far away

I could not bear to say goodbye as I saw you leave.

Without saying, I love you I sent you away.

Band Waiting Room'

Hey! Let's try the notes for the interlude!

Hey! Ta koong, ta koong! We'll make it an 8 beat!

This will keep the girls from leaving.

Ah…sex…

Stop combing you son-of-a-bitch

- I'm James Dean, you asshole - Asshole…

Here's the group that introduced army base Soul

The Devils!

I love you…

Hey! Since it's our first stage, let's make it fierce.

Okay, okay, okay.

You're underage!

I'm not sure about those guys.

Kids will come when you give them a variety of dishes.

You can't always have it cooked. Sometimes you need it raw…

…like those guys to pump up the volume!

What the hell is that?

They must be crazy. Jeez…

The ultimate emperor of Korea's psychedelic music!

The Phoenixes!

The Phoenixes

Communist spies' The Devils

I knew nothing from the start

I was born without a clue.

Nobody taught me, but…

The Phoenixes are truly the best.

I was so thrilled to meet you.

Hey, I heard our pay is the lowest

I love it, I love this grand sea.

Hey!

What the fuck!

Fuck you.

Fucking asshole…

Sang-kyu…

Look.

They seem to be having a ball.

But they look stupid dancing like that.

Hey, I'm the one that's feeling stupid.

- We weren't too bad, right? - We rocked.

Awe, we sucked.

Some girls from the hall sent this.

Eat, you asshole.

Shit, those Seoul losers They've got no Soul, Soul…

Yeah, let's change our repertoire The crowd's not feeling it anyway.

Just rock it, rock it and they'll follow! Let's go!

The 8th US Army Base is more fun.

- Where did Mimi go? - I don't know.

She's supposed to take care of our costumes.

She just gave us these pants…

Wow, great.

Fashion? Dancing? The army base town girls are pros at everything

I collected these with them back then.

You mean Yankee whores?

Don't say that!

Anyway, what are you planning to do with these?

- Bravo - What are you going to do, huh?

Hey! Hey! Look at her, look.

What's going on?

The twist?

Hey, Young-ja.

Hey, what about the motel?

I don't know, there're no customers today, anyway!

Let's go!

Shit, so many kids, but no one's buying booze.

Then we'll start selling tickets.

Remove all the tables! We'll make it a standing hall!

My little doe, baby come come to me.

My little doe, baby come come to me

I cannot live a single moment without you.

Hurry, come on out.

Hey, stop!

Awe shit, whatever!

You rock! The curfew's over!

You think you're on a picnic? Lay low!

Hey, nothing over there, Man-sik?

What're you doing? Shitting?

I told you there's none over there, you assholes!

- Uh? What's that? - Isn't this it?

Throw it away.

Hey, I found one!

Wow, The Devils…

Hey, you Seoul chicks in pantaloons!

I'll see you later at Club Nirvana

I'll give you another night of ecstasy!

More, more, push this part out.

Push it out, push, push.

A bird is flying away.

- How? Higher and higher - Higher?

Flapping away.

Flap, flap, flap, flap.

- How are you guys doing? - Welcome.

Now, gather around.

Hey, don't get up, don't, you must all be tired.

Wow, that looks good.

You know…

Whenever I see you guys, you remind me of someone!

Bill Graham.

He made the Jefferson Airplane famous.

In hippie land, San Francisco at a storage room called…

…Fillmore Auditorium, he started a rock dance festival.

Why don't we do the same thing.

You guys help me out.

You, dance!

How about bending lower a bit?

The boob shaker dance!

Anything else? Good.

That's sexy.

Shocking dance!

Great!

Mom, we never became judges or prosecutors.

But we've become musicians, playing Soul every night!

The Soul Brothers!

Nirvana's great success had Go Go clubs popping up everywhere.

Young people exhausted from the grueling labors of modernization

flocked to clubs.

At the Midnight Revolution scene they're called the Go Go Crowds!

The most popular bands are, the psychedelic The Phoenixes

Vocal master, The Tempests!

But the definitive stars of this Go Go fever…

…are dancing queens, The Wild Girls…

…and the king of Soul, The Devils!

For the tireless Go Go Crowds…

…they are playing year round, from 12am - 4am!

Burning the curfew nights away and gaining stardom

The Devils

We booked a hotel suite room.

Hey girls, let's go!

, , sing it for us, please!

Oh my god!

Daehan News'

The Ministry of Culture and Public Information, Sept. 1973'

The streets at night, look at this sight.

Is it worth throwing your dignity, your family…

…and tomorrow away?

Thoughtless dance maniacs must be punished'

The government announced its anti-decadence measures.

Crackdown on long-haired men and miniskirts will be enforced.

Why would men want to look like women?

Long hair is bad for hygiene as well as unappealing.

The government will begin a campaign to cut men's hair.

Anyone who resists, will be tried by a summary action.

All acts of destroying public order must be restrained.

Six!

- You're done - Thank you.

Those marks on your back look like repeat marks.

- Asshole… - They really do.

- Hey, wanna join me today? - What?

No, you son-of-a-bitch! It's so lame.

We're like repeat marks, doing the same gig over and over…

When was the last time we played a new song? A year ago.

You think that's right? Do you?

Stop running more than one gig.

- We need to get together… - Hey! Stop right there!

You son-of-a-bitch! You've seen the Go Go Crowds.

What do you think they really want?

We just have to go on rocking.

Rock and roll!

You're the only one who seems to be running out of steam.

Shit, I cracked a toenail again.

Our little doe, Mimi. Wanna join me on a gig at Club Poongjeon?

Gotta go to Club Tower

Think they'll pay more than Tower? I don't think so.

It's your call…

Oh yeah.

Next week, the KCIA asked us to play at their 14th yr anniversary.

You're gonna go, right? They're paying more than $200 per day.

You're all so full of crap!

Man-sik, Man-sik!

Our 2nd gig club boss's gonna pay us double from next month.

That means we're getting star treatment from now on.

Fucking A!

And as a bonus, we're getting hotel rooms for free!

It's the end of motel rooms!

- Let's all move to the hotel! - Move!

[Folk Village Chicken Soup]

Sang-kyu, don't ever surprise me with a drum solo like yesterday

I almost peed in my pants.

Why not? We can't do the same thing every time.

Besides, it was all for your own good.

Goddamn it, look at that fucker.

Now you crawl out after disappearing since yesterday

I went to Incheon.

It was such a dump. Nothing's changed since we were kids

I was a judge on a rock band contest.

It was a total mess, nothing but hell.

I see you've been sucked dry at a gambling round, asshole.

Back off, I just dropped by after the contest.

Hey, you know what the club owner said?

Two missing, we're the pebbles, minus three makes us the stubbles.

- Without the bass… - Hey, Devils!

Enjoying your grub?

Three orders of your black chicken soup!

You know what time it is? You guys called us here, you know

I know dude, and we're sorry we really are.

The dog day heat has begun and sharing a stamina dish…

…together seemed like a nice idea

Mimi said she couldn't make it She seems to be the busiest.

Shit…

I guess you can juggle meals between other gigs?

Yeah, smokin busy, that's us Every night seems like an hour

I love it when you say,

Rock and roll! Every night we're bringing down the house!

- You know? - No, you asshole.

Hey, Sang-kyu, Daewang wants you, how about it?

I don't play crappy stages.

But I do hope you bring down the house…every night.

Put it back as it was.

What?

I said, put it back, you motherfucker!

- It ain't your hair, is it? - Son-of-a-bitch.

- Stop it for crying out loud - Shit!

Okay! Let's meet up later for a drink, okay?

Sang-kyu, like the old days, we'll get a crate of liquor…

Fuck you! You don't tell me where and when to be!

You think you can order the bandmaster around?

Motherfucker…

What's his problem?

Where the hell's our chicken soup!

Shit…

Shouldn't we at least try to clear the air with Sang-kyu?

A little stardom must have gotten to that fucker's head.

How come you're so late?

- You're paying double, right? - Yes, of course.

Okay, bravo!

Club Daewang Corner

The tragic fire that took

November, 1974.

Chonyangni's Daewang Corner...

…resulted from minor negligence

and shoddy building facilities.

The fire left heavy casualties leaving 88 dead including…

…star band, The Devil member, Choi Dong-su…

Oh my, you're here,

Oh my Dong-su

I can't believe you're not here.

Oh my…

Oh my Dong-su...

Dong-su…

Oh my, Dong-su…

Dong-su…

Our school's drill instructor said that everyone…

…who died in the fire were offenders of decadence.

As if he thought they deserved to die. Son-of-a-bitch…

I really thought about kicking his ass

I asked him, don't you ever sing?'

So he said that he sang the 'New Town Movement' song…

How come you're drinking so much? You've got to work, later.

Yeah, I know…

We've been working non-stop. Except for Veteran's Day.

What are you trying to say this time?

These days I don't know what I'm trying to say

I don't know what I'm doing.

Fuck you all. I hate dudes who won't follow their heart.

What, you son-of-a-bitch!

Can't you listen for once in your life?

You're the one who's the great pretender.

What did you say?

Pretending you've got the groove when you're really burned out…

…singing the same tune Aren't you sick of it, asshole?

I don't fucking play dirty like you, you son-of-a-bitch!

What did you fucking say?

What is that whole repertoire about your dead mother?

And always with a chick at your side?

It's pathetic, dude? I'm sick of it!

She's dead, get over it, asshole!

You son-of-a-bitch!

What's going on?

Let go, you asshole!

Let go of me you sons-of-bitches!

So, do you have a plan?

Do you?

If not, then just shut up and Go Go.

Stop moaning and crying, you sons-of-bitches!

You washed up motherfuckers!

Go fuck yourselves, you assholes!

Get out of my way!

Get on the bus. Go.

Just go

The Devils?

Let's disband.

Fuck!

[Lewd bars spreading amid negligent regulations']

[Mayor of Seoul announces ban on Go Go clubs']

Pop music in this country shares the same fate as an adulteress.

Branded decadent and pleasure-seeking.

Mr. Min! When things blow over, let's start all over again!

- I'm serious. - Fuck you.

- Come on… - Back off.

- We had fun. - Bullshit.

['Business Suspension Notice']

Oh my, I've got a better card.

You must've lost your band spirit.

How can you even think of betting your guitar?

Guys like you could probably bet your wife.

So, does The Devils? guitar rock?

Shit!

Goddamn it, look at this motherfucker, look…

Sang-kyu?

Have you eaten?

Hey, we've copied the Wilson Pickett score, right?

Of course.

What would Wilson Pickett do in his concert?

I'd do anything to see it.

I'm done preparing my part for.

What's the occasion? Make sure you give a fierce chorus.

And your guitar solo, give it that fuzz thing?

Fuck! I'm gonna wipe out The Phoenixes.

- Did you tell Mimi about it? - Of course not, you asshole.

- Then I'll tell her later! - No you're not!

She's coming, she's coming Shhhh…

What's going on?

- I smell something fishy. - Nothing smells fishy.

- Here… - What is it?

Wow!

Wow, look at the colors!

I almost passed out making these.

You're the best, Mimi.

That stupid, simpleminded, idiotic motherfucker!

Emergency Measures, No. 9!

Do they think they can just bulldoze everyone down?

Motherfuckers!

Are you Lee Byung-wook?

Yeah that's me, who's asking?

- You went to Seoul Natl. Univ.? - Yes, sir.

Why's an intelligent journalist like you at the top of this…

…list of ringleaders promoting decadence?

This April, Vietnam surrendered to the Viet Cong.

The president is spending sleepless nights worrying that…

…we'd end up doing the same to North Korea.

Public order in this country has become so loose!

Comedies and songs have all become so crass!

That's why the president is wiping it all out.

A total wipe out!

Why is he trying to be like Idi Amin?

A total wipe out?

- Are you The Devils? - Yes…

What a bunch of runny-nosed kids.

Now! Give me a name!

I want the name of a pot-smoking band member from each of you.

All that pot must be why you guys are so lethargic.

Im Sang-kyu.

- We've got a slacker here. - Who's that?

What's his name?

Say it again!

Jimi Hendrix!

I'm impressed.

How did you get them to let you in?

I paid them off…

How are you holding up?

They're releasing us in a few days.

As for the military, they made… me write a written statement…

…for voluntary enlistment.

How about you?

I was dragged to this banquet.

Sang a few songs there…

After the gig the fuckers took me to a hotel.

Moments later an old fart stepped into the room…

So what happened?

I made a getaway.

What?

I escaped through the bathroom window.

Flying the coop'

That's my expertise.

Mimi…

The Devils, are leaving this place.

What are The Wild Girls doing these days?

Don't forget your ID!

- You're Lee Mal-ja, right? - Shit…

You are Lee Mal-ja.

Here!

I need your fingerprint here!

Bitch…

Damn, the fucker didn't have to call my name.

- Hey, at this point… - The detective said…

…no matter how hard the torture was, college kids never…

…named names but that we blew the whistle at each beating.

And that's why we're called singing clowns'

Shit…what were we supposed to do?

I can't take it anymore…

Man-sik…

Let's go to Japan

Japan?

You mean playing for the Japs?

Bands who go there, they seem like musicians up front.

But they're actually gigolos to middle-aged Japanese women.

It's better than going to jail.

You guys are a bunch of crap!

Awe it's cold…

It's cold…

Hey! I had a dream the other day.

In it The Devils were at its heydays!

Putting some fire into those kids that were full of…

…gloom and doom, that's what The Devils did, right Man-sik?

Wrote any new songs?

I've got a few!

Let's get them all together and open The Devils concert!

Nirvana has been shut down, right?

We can use it!

Yeah, but it's a bad time for doing something like that.

You think kids will come?

Who wouldn't come when it's The Devils!

Tell everyone to come!

Hey, guitar!

This is what I call a plan!

Let's fucking rock the place!

Let's rock and roll!

Rock and roll!

Let's do it!

Let's do it!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

It's a Go Go?
