the 30th memorial concert will be held.

The city used to be called 'lri' in the past.

Many people have already gathered for today's event.

Let's get some interviews.

How about these students here?

Excuse me, girls. Can I have a minute?

- Hello! - Hi!

- Can I have an interview? - Okay.

Are you girls here for the tribute concert?

Yes!

Why did you come?

To see the celebrities!

- Tonight's performers? - Yes.

Then, do you know about the explosion

at lri Station thirty years ago?

We have no idea.

- You don't? - Nope.

- Well, have fun at the concert. - Thank you.

Maybe they're just too young.

Then, why don't I talk with that gentleman over there?

- Good afternoon, sir! - Hello.

May I interview you for a minute?

Sure.

- Nice to meet you. - Yes, same here.

- What do you do for a living? - I'm a taxi driver.

Have you lived in lksan city for long?

Of course, all my life.

Then do you remember the explosion at lri Station thirty years ago?

As if it was yesterday.

What was it like?

It was an unspeakable catastrophe.

Buildings crumbled around Samnam Theater.

Hundreds of dead bodies,

and shattered cars everywhere.

It's already been thirty years.

Today is the tribute event. How do you feel?

I can't quite word it.

It shouldn't happen again.

Of course, never again.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

You were great. Thank you.

Sure.

Let's go over there, to the main area of the event.

Hello, do you know Ha Chun-hwa who is performing today?

Because loving is a sin

Because loving is a sin

My wretched heart

Burns to no warmth

It gives up its life

For an undeniable love

It burns and burns

This is the 30th anniversary concert to remember the lri Station explosion.

We are here with the citizens of lksan.

The explosion dates back to 1977.

Now it's 2007, marking thirty years.

Yes, I didn 't go through it myself

because I was yet to be born.

I see.

Nevertheless, it was the worst explosion in Korea.

When I spoke to the unfortunate victims,

I realized how big of an accident it was.

I've heard our next performer is very dear to the people of lksan.

Who is it?

Yes, it's Kim Hye-jung. Her hometown is lksan.

Let's welcome her to the stage.

Hello, it's nice to see you.

You've gone and shaken my heart

I never thought it would last

But you've left traces of you in me

I miss you so much

that I can't sleep all night long.

I love you, I do

My heart flutters

I fell in love with you this much.

So put in a good word for me.

My heart skips every time I see him.

No, he's mine. I'm the one that loves him.

But he's your brother!

You're scaring me.

You know I like Chinese.

Let's have a talk outside.

Come on.

Teacher Shui, how are you? My name is Jin-seo.

You look so beautiful today.

No good will do of ill humor

Nor that offeverish temper

Life is but an empty dream

You'll do better to dream it away

Oh, how sweet this dream can be!

Butterflies in search of flowers flee!

Butterflies, they flutter

From flower to flower

As golden orioles wallow

From willow to willow

Oh, how sweet this dream can be!

Butterflies in search of flowers flee!

Hello.

Where'd you like to go?

- Mohyun Apartments. - Sure.

Which building?

There should be a hall for the aged.

I live there. Who are you coming to see?

An old, old lover.

It's weird.

I can hear my clap, but I can't hear your conversation.

Why would we let you hear our words of love?

Pusan, the station of good-byes Even the rain sadly sighs

Good-byes and farewells The whistle cries for our pain

Those times of pain and sorrow That station in my heart will remain

A Kyeong-sang Province girl weeps in the rain

At Pusan, the station of good-byes

What's wrong?

Y e-jin is sick.

What are you doing?

It's late. Go to bed.

Jin-seo, come out, quick! Big trouble!

Could you stop at that Church? I really have to go pee.

Sure.

Thank you.

Can I help you?

Did you see a skinny guy with glasses?

I think he went out the back door.

God loves you, my brother!

Jano!

Jin-seo, help me out.

The war veterans called for me, but I have a customer.

Could you go for me, please?

But, I don't know what to do.

It's not that hard.

Just do what I do.

You know how to make coffee.

Pour it, drop some sugar. That's it.

Let's go, Jin-seo.

Thank you so much.

Come on.

I didn't know that you liked porn.

Where are you from?

My hometown? In-cheon, why?

How old are you?

I'm twenty-three.

What's your real name?

Yoon-jung. Choi Yoon-jung.

What's the matter?

Is it because of Jin-seo?

I never thought that would happen.

She just had to deliver the coffee.

I'm sorry, Tae-Woong.

I'm sorry! Please!

I'm sorry! Please!

I'm sorry, please!

Where's Ye-jin?

She's gone.

To where?

I told you, to heaven.
