Original subtitles

(Summer is on the way.)

(Creaking)

Gosh, this place is fantastic.

Oh, this is nice. It's grand.

(What is Yu Yaho doing in this traditional setting?)

We finally selected the Top 8,

and some need a private pep talk.

I invited some people over for a chat.

(Yu Yaho decided to meet some people in private.)

I asked to meet a few people...

who I think need a little chat.

Doesn't this look high-class?

It's a traditional knot.

It was made by Intangible Cultural Asset Number 22,

Ms. Kim Hye Soon.

She made this in person.

Thank you so much, Ms. Kim.

My gosh, look at this.

(A tea set just to Yu Yaho's taste.)

This is...

This is mulberry leaf tea.

The aroma...

(The rich aroma captivated Yaho.)

Oh, this is nice.

(Following the rich aroma,)

(someone enters the compound.)

- Hello. - Wonstein.

(He moves smoothly between...)

(hip-hop and rhythm and blues.)

(With a unique tone,)

(he prepares to join MSG Wannabe.)

(Wonstein's a rapper with a twist.)

- Hello. - Sit.

Would you like mulberry leaf tea?

Yes. Thank you.

(Bottom's up)

How is it?

It tastes like green tea with a broader feel.

- It's deeper. - Yes.

- A bit more. - Yes.

Don't people say you look a lot like someone else?

- Bae Gi Seong from Can. - Bae...

- Kang Kyun Sung? - Yes, Kang Kyun Sung.

- Kang Kyun Sung. - Yes.

Mina from TWICE too?

I'm not that...

You've never heard that before?

Some say you look like Kim Tae Ri?

(Laughing)

You do look a bit like her. You do.

That's hilarious.

- The reason I asked to see you... - Yes?

(At the previous meeting)

(His teammates actively exchange ideas.)

(Wonstein listened in silence.)

(People left supportive messages for the sullen-looking rapper.)

(Wonstein looks like me when I first started working.)

(He looks drained, surrounded by older guys.)

(I bet he went home and collapsed and slept.)

(Yaho was concerned about him.)

Being on a variety show and doing something with others...

This is my first time doing that.

KCM and Byeollu-Jee were talking endlessly.

They were so excited.

I thought that you had studied abroad.

Do you speak fluent English?

I don't speak a word of English.

(His English pronunciation...)

(is so clear.)

(Your beautiful sight)

(Even his Korean sounds like English.)

(But he doesn't speak it at all?)

- Not at all? - I can't speak English at all.

But your pronunciation sounds like you'd speak fluent English.

Since I was eight, I never left Naesu.

Until my early 20s.

My whole family works there too.

Swag.

(Sudden hometown confession)

- Okay, swag. - Yes.

- Naesu in Cheongju? - Yes.

What is that place like?

Naesu is an eup.

- It's an eup? - Yes, Naesu-eup.

Right behind our house, it's surrounded by mountains.

- Really? - Yes.

My neighborhood friends and I...

turn small alleys into hideouts...

and climb mountains.

There are badgers.

- Badgers? - Yes.

I'd never seen a badger before until I moved to Naesu.

Gosh, badgers...

Oh, and fireflies. There are fireflies too.

- You saw fireflies? - Yes.

I think you can still see them in Naesu.

You lived in Cheongju all this while and never studied abroad?

I've actually never gone abroad in my life.

What?

(Giggling)

The furthest north I've been is Yeoncheon,

and the furthest south I've been is Jeju Island.

Does it make sense that you've never been abroad?

I also find that a great pity.

That's very surprising, Wonstein.

I had no idea.

This isn't the Wonstein we imagined.

This is so interesting.

Does your mother own a hair salon in Cheongju?

Yes.

She must be so pleased.

It's in Naesu in Cheongju.

- Even now? - Yes.

Did your mother curl your hair?

Yes. She gave me this hairstyle.

She created this look for me.

If you don't mind me asking,

what is her hair salon called?

Right now it's called "Star Hair Salon."

- Was the name changed a few times? - Yes.

It used to be called "Bbokkukka."

(Laughing)

(Laughing brightly about his mom's salon)

So she gave you that hairstyle.

That's right.

- Your mother did it. - Yes.

- That's her. - Yes.

- Is that your mother? - Yes.

(Wonstein's mother's work)

- She's perming your hair. - Yes.

The reason we're laughing is,

- I thought of Michael Jackson. - I see that.

That's where I got the idea from.

As a child, I used to play brass instruments,

and she said I look like Kenny G.

Will you look at that?

(The legendary saxophonist, Kenny G)

(And this is Kenny G from Naesu.)

Gosh. Your mother sounds very witty.

I bet you are affectionate.

You show your affection to your mother, right?

- Only to my mom. - I can tell.

It feels great to make your parents smile.

So I would pretend that I'm in a trance...

and dance in an exaggerated manner.

I can't behave like that in front of other people,

but I can do that in front of my mom.

It's not easy to be able to get along with your mom like this.

Anyway, I can tell...

that you have a tight-knit family. You do, right?

(Chuckling)

Right.

I have a younger sister.

(Elaborating out of the blue)

My younger sister...

(Once he starts talking...)

- So... - You have a great family.

When I was 20 or 21, I told my sister that...

- I loved her for the first time. - "I love you?"

(Startled)

- You startled me. - Sorry. You said that?

- To your sister? - Yes.

I do have two younger sisters.

- Really? - Yes.

We only talk to each other on national holidays...

or special occasions.

I have a very close relationship with my mother and my sister.

So I got a tattoo for them.

The Golden Retriever on the left represents my mother.

- My sister is on the right. - Your sister.

They are kissing each other.

Does this have a special meaning?

That's my sister's birth flower.

It's a tulip.

So I got a tulip tattoo on my arm.

- Your sister's birth flower? - Yes.

(Shy)

I'm sorry. I must have looked confused.

"How is this possible?"

If I may, can I ask what your sister is doing now?

She's a hairstylist now.

She's working in Daechi-dong.

- I see. She's in Gangnam area. - Yes.

- She works at a hair salon? - Yes.

- To become a hairstylist? - Yes.

- She's already a general manager. - Wait. What?

- She's a general manager? - Yes. I'm so proud.

Wouldn't you find this story in an ancient fairy tale?

You are so warmhearted.

- You love your family. - Thank you.

You know? It's not the image I had of you.

So you are working with Jae Jung, KCM,

and Byeollu-Jee. That's your team.

- Yes. - Do you like your team?

- Yes. I like my team. Yes. - You do?

- So you guys have a group chatroom. - Yes. We do.

KCM...

would tell us how we can build harmony with each other.

Everyone would check his feedback.

And we talk about by when we will memorize.

That's how we communicate.

- Byeollu-Jee is in it too, right? - Yes.

What does he say often?

He's reassured to have KCM.

(Byeollu-Jee continues to show his support for Chang Mo.)

We'll see how important his role is.

(He's still showing his affection.)

- That's what he says? - Yes.

With which member did you unexpectedly connect well?

- Jee Seok Jin. - I see.

Why?

We already talked to each other before.

I think I feel a bit closer to him compared to other singers.

Well, thank you for joining me today.

- See you at the next competition. - Okay.

- I'll go now. - Bye.

Thank you for such good stories.

- Good work. - Sure.

- You can go now. - Okay.

I realized today that Wonstein is a great conversationalist.

Great.

Nice.

Right. I need to talk to them 1-on-1 like this.

Gosh. Who knew Wonstein was so funny? Did you know?

I was so surprised.

I could tell that he was quite nervous too.

I should talk to him.

(Who is this singer that seemed nervous?)

I see. There he comes.

He's bringing a guitar.

- There you are. - Hello.

- Jae Jung. Come here. - Hello.

- Why did you bring a guitar? - Hi.

- I thought I should. - Great. Come sit.

(The second interviewee is Jae Jung.)

You brought a guitar.

- Thank you for inviting me. - Sure.

Why are you thanking me?

There's no need to thank me.

Make yourself comfortable. Sit comfortably like this.

What did you do today?

- I stayed at home. - I see.

- I came from home. - You were at home?

- Yes. - What did you do at home?

I took a nap. I made fried rice.

By yourself?

- With my younger sibling. - You live with a younger sibling?

I never moved out of my parents' house.

When they make a debut, they usually move out.

I don't have enough money to move out.

(A big sigh)

- You can't afford to move out. - Right.

- Is that so? - Yes.

If I may, can I ask you about your younger sibling?

- He's a male person. - I see.

- He's a male person? - Yes.

- I have a brother. - Okay.

What kind of fried rice did you make?

We made egg fried rice and topped it with some meat.

(They had a nice meal.)

During this audition period for MSG Wannabe,

I'm trying to eat meat for my meals.

Why?

I need some fat.

That's good for my throat.

- That's why? - Yes.

(An oily voice from meat)

(I love meat very much)

To be honest, I just like meat.

- You always like to eat meat. - Yes.

You must have talked to...

your brother when you were eating together today.

- Yes. - What did you two talk about?

"Seeing how you still have to go to the shoot,"

"I guess you're doing a good job." That's what he said.

(Is that a backhanded compliment?)

- That's how brothers talk. - Right.

- Right? You guys don't elaborate. - Right.

- Wonstein has a younger sister. - Yes.

He tells his sister that he loves her.

I say that to my family too.

- To my parents and my brother. - Really?

- To your brother? - Yes.

- That you love him? - Yes.

"Love you, man." I just keep it casually like this.

To your brother?

Yes. I tell him that too.

- You tell him you love him? - We would be talking on the phone.

"Love you." "Okay."

- What does he say? - He says, "Me too."

(Shocked)

- You don't believe it? - "Me too?"

Yes.

Should I call him and say that now?

- Can you call him? - I can do it.

I want to hear that. You tell him you love him?

- Yes. I do. - To his brother?

Yes. I'll call you.

(Calling his brother, also known as the male person)

- Hello. - What are you up to?

I'm at my part-time job.

I see. Love you, man.

All of a sudden?

All of a sudden?

Love you.

What? Why are you saying this out of the blue?

What do you mean?

I always end our calls with "Love you."

Gosh. Okay. Have a good day.

Okay. Bye.

Didn't you say, "Me too" when I said, "Love you?"

- Love you more. - Okay. Bye.

(Laughing)

- Love you. - Sure.

- Bye. - Have fun.

Okay.

He's acting weird today.

Of course, he would find it weird.

"What are you up to?" "I'm working."

"Love you."

Of course, he would find that weird.

But...

- Even the fan agrees. - Right.

- But he was surprised. - Right.

And when I said that I loved him...

- He said, "Love you more." - Right.

Just like Wonstein...

- You're the same age as him. - Right.

You guys have a tight-knit family. And you're affectionate.

- That's touching. - Really?

- I could feel your brotherly love. - Thank you.

- Anyway, have some tea. - Thank you.

- Actually... - Thank you.

What kind of tea is it?

- Try it and guess it. - Okay.

(Sipping)

- What do you think? - It tastes like Solomon's seal tea.

- It's mulberry leaf tea. Yes. - Mulberry leaf tea?

Why did you think it was Solomon's seal tea?

It was just random.

- I didn't know. - You don't know a lot about tea.

I don't know a lot about tea.

(Chuckling)

- By the way, - Yes?

this is what I remember of you. You used to be so cheerful.

- I'm playful too. Yes. - Right.

But you seemed very nervous during the audition.

Right.

(5 years ago on "Radio Star")

(That gets "hague" too.)

"Hague?"

(He showed off his bubbly charm with unusual language skills.)

(He was asked if it had a shape of a ship.)

(Are you asking me about Kim Beom Seon?)

(He ruled the variety show with his whimsical side.)

(He made an impression on Jae Seok with his cheerfulness too.)

(We just met today, but you make me so happy.)

(But Jae Jung during the group mission...)

(He was very nervous that his voice was shaky.)

(During the 1st meeting of the Top 8 last week)

(Why are you so quiet?)

(He stayed quiet as he was nervous.)

Why were you so nervous?

Actually, after performing as a singer,

I thought about taking a break.

So were you in a slump?

- Yes. - Why?

Well, personally,

my career didn't reach the expectations I had in mind.

And I was under pressure when my career didn't do so well.

- I know what you mean. - Right.

The thing is, you won "Superstar K 5"...

and became the youngest winner of the series.

- I was 19 back then. - Gosh.

And after that, I've been singing for eight years.

But I realized that not many people...

listened to my music.

So I wanted to take some time off to think about my music...

and what I should do with my music.

I thought a lot about my future.

(There were rarely any opportunities for him to do what he wanted.)

(And the past 8 years have been a tough battle for him.)

When I heard that you're holding an audition,

I decided to try one last time. That's what I had in mind.

And I thought to myself that this might be...

the last opportunity that could bring big changes for me.

So I decided to try again and sing again.

It made me want to sing again.

When I sang "Sadness Guide,"

I poured my heart into that song. I tried the hardest in my life.

(He sings wholeheartedly with a mindset to start all over again.)

(Everyone will know your worth as the main vocalist of MSG Wannabe.)

(I didn't know you were such a good singer.)

(I didn't know Park Jae Jung's voice was this good.)

(Park Jae Jung is this good?)

(Finally, Jae Jung's voice reached the hearts of people.)

That's why I did my best in singing.

So that must be why many people were touched by your desperation.

I was really grateful that it was a blind audition...

because people got to see...

how sincere I am in singing...

through the audition.

So that's what happened.

I kept finding the reason...

to keep singing through this show.

- That's a relief. - Yes.

I thought you only worked as a balladeer,

but you published columns called "Park Jae Jung's Soccer Journey."

- Yes, I did. - Right?

So you're a big fan of soccer, right?

- Yes, I am. - You are such a huge fan...

that you wished the team you cheered for...

would place 1st than your song placing 1st on music charts.

I was a K-league honorary ambassador during the 2016, 2017 season.

I love Korean soccer.

- I'm an ardent fan of Blue Wings. - Blue Wings, right.

- Really? - Yes, I'm a big fan.

You know a balance game is trending these days, right?

- You need to answer right away. - All right.

Not watching soccer for a year...

versus failing to become a member of MSG Wannabe.

Not watching soccer for a year.

- You want to be a member badly. - Of course.

(He's passionate about becoming a member of MSG Wannabe.)

Then let me ask you this.

Urine that turns into gold versus tears that turn into diamonds.

I want my tears to turn into diamonds.

Urine is not hygienic.

- That's the reason? - Yes.

I picked urine that turns into gold.

Isn't it better to have that since you urinate more often?

- Sure. - You get to have gold more often.

- Right. - Don't you think so?

It's...

Then does it mean you urinate gold?

(Do you urinate gold like this?)

- Please watch your gesture. - Okay.

Does gold come out like kidney stones?

Please watch where your hand is. What do you mean by kidney stones?

Does it come out like kidney stones?

Please watch where you place your hand.

Can you also write and compose songs?

- Yes, of course. - Can you?

Shall I show you here?

- Did you bring your guitar? - Yes, I did.

Can I hear it if it's okay with you?

I'm torn whether to release this song or not.

- Let me hear it. - It's called "A Letter to B."

"A Letter to B?"

- Yes, let me play a snippet of it. - Sure.

Let's listen to it.

("A Letter to B" written by Park Jae Jung)

(Jae Jung calmly starts singing his song.)

(Listening attentively)

(His mellow voice suits the lyrical guitar melody.)

(I think you are my only love)

(I'm lost in that thought)

(As I write you a letter)

That's the song.

It's not bad. It's okay.

- Thank you. - I think it'd be good...

to be used as an OST of a drama or a film.

I think it'd be widely loved.

Thank you for listening.

- It was really nice. - Is that so?

Thank you. I'll keep working hard.

I hear your parents are running a restaurant.

Their dishes are based on temple cuisine.

- Really? - It's a health food restaurant.

Is it doing well?

Yes, it's okay. It's a restaurant where not too many...

nor not too few customers visit.

Also, my mom wishes that she doesn't get too many customers.

- Why is that? - Because it'd be hard for her.

She always wishes that I'd never speak of her restaurant on TV.

- The reason being... - In case too many customers visit.

Right. She doesn't like too many customers to visit.

It's a restaurant run by our family.

I wash the dishes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

I clean up everything on those days.

My brother does it on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

We're a tight-knit family, so...

That's what you have in common with Wonstein.

His family has a really strong bond.

So there's nothing my parents don't know about me.

What did they say about you being on the show?

They wanted me to look nice with trimmed hair...

and nice clothes.

They wanted me to sing even better.

My mom said she thinks it'll be the most important show...

I've ever been on.

That's what my mom said.

I get what she means, but isn't she pressuring you too much?

But it's not that pressuring because she says that so often.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

She's been constantly telling you that?

- Hearing it for 8 years... - What does she tell you?

She always tells me that this is the opportunity of a lifetime.

She's been telling you that for eight years?

Yes. She's been saying that a lot.

The members are Byeollu-Jee, Kang Chang Mo, and Wonstein.

Are you happy with the members?

What I really liked about them as we practiced...

was that we're all singers.

That's what made us bond better.

What I really love...

about us is that we all have distinctive voice colors.

That's the key point of our performances.

Byeollu-Jee made his debut as a singer,

but he's close to a variety show star.

But his voice is really nice.

I really like that...

- he's serious about this. - You like that.

I thought that's the reason why he made it to the top eight.

He's really passionate toward the things he likes.

I didn't know he'd be this enthusiastic,

- He really is. - so I'm a little taken aback.

Is there anything you're looking forward to in the competition?

I wasn't really sure about it,

but through the audition,

I became more firm about continuing my career as a singer.

- That's a relief. - Right.

So in order to become a member of MSG Wannabe,

I'm going to show everything that I'm good at...

during the competition.

You've been on a competition show so often that everything you say...

is really competitive.

- It's not fun, right? - You get what I mean, right?

It's not that it's not fun.

Those who are on a competition show speak in certain ways.

- They're usually very tense. - Yes, they are.

"That's what I think. This time, I'm going to do my best."

"I'm going to give it my all."

(Number 2, Park Jae Jung)

(So in order to become a member of MSG Wannabe,)

(I'm going to show everything that I'm good at...)

(during the competition.)

(Please pick me.)

Please have something nice and let us hear your nice voice.

- Of course. - I think that's enough for today.

- I'll see you in the next round. - All right.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Are you having meat for dinner today as well?

- I had it in the morning. - Oh, really?

- Yes. - What are you having for dinner?

For dinner... What shall I have?

(Laughing)

- Thank you. - Then I'll see you next time.

Please say hello to Lee Jung for me.

Sure, thank you. I'm sure he'll love it.

You sounded like a character from a youth drama.

"I'm sure he'll love it."

(Laughing bashfully)

Thank you. Thank you.

Let me pack this first.

Sure. I won't stop you.

Of course not. I'm still shy, that's why.

- What are you shy about? - Let me just...

Thank you.

- All right. Take care. - Thank you.

- Thank you. Bye. - Straighten up your shoulders.

Okay. Thank you.

Bye. That was fun.

(Jae Jung leaves with his shoulders straightened.)

Thank you.

(The individual interviews of the kids born in 1995 are over.)

(One day, before the competition)

Hello.

(Wonstein got here first and is waiting for others.)

(Door opening)

(His friend, Jae Jung, arrives.)

Hi, hi.

(It's their first time seeing each other after becoming a team.)

(Awkward)

How have you been?

I've been well. How have you been?

I've been... Oh, I recently moved.

- Oh, you did? - So I've been busy unpacking.

I've been busy cleaning PP boxes.

They're the big blue boxes you use when you move.

(I see...)

(Right...)

(They've run out of things to talk about.)

In the group chat...

We didn't speak casually until we parted,

but we did in the group chat.

(- Let's talk casually next time. - Sure, Jae Jung!)

- That's how it is. - Right?

We're already talking casually.

Since we're in the same team, we should be causal with each other.

- Hello, you're here. - Hello.

Yes! This is nice.

- KCM isn't here yet? - No, he's not here.

Should I discipline him?

Gosh. It's been a while.

Have you been well?

- Hello, you're here. - Yes!

- KCM. - Hi!

Oh, yes! Okay.

- You're our music director. - Yes!

(They're somewhat used to Chang Mo's energy.)

- My wife likes him. - Seok Jin.

Goodness. Have you all been well?

- Yes, what about you? - I've been well, of course.

- It seems like you've eaten a lot. - Yes, I have.

It's been a while since I've touched an arm like this.

(Team "If" is glad to see each other after a long while.)

Hello.

- Let's go. - Okay.

(The team to sing "Resignation" gathered for their first practice!)

It's good to be in a recording studio.

- I haven't smelled this in a while. - It's nice.

- It's really nice. - Oh, wow.

- Did you have fun at the zoo? - Sorry?

Did you have fun at the zoo?

Yes, I did.

I showed my kids lions.

- We chatted a lot in the chat room. - It was fun.

(Kim Jung Min)

(They were excited to see Jung Min's name on a store sign.)

(What? Actually, I have two jobs.)

(I finally told you the truth.)

(I took a photo of the flowers in front of my house.)

(They shared their daily lives with one another very often.)

(- I'm watching the show right now. - Me too.)

(We Jungsangdongki did great.)

I suggested it in our group chatroom.

So we combined the middle syllables from our names.

- That's right. - As I combined them,

I came up with "Dongjungkisang"...

- And "Dongjungsangki." - That sounded weird.

- Both sounded weird. - Like when we were little boys...

Those names reminded me of TVXQ and I...

But one of us...

I realized that young people do have a good sense.

Dong Hwi came up with Jungsangdongki.

As in the companions to be with to the top.

Or the companions to meet on top.

- The companions to meet on top. - Exactly.

It can also be the companions that met on top of Mount Acha.

- There was one more. - So we picked Jungsangdongki.

(Dong Hwi respected Jung Soo to the end.)

- Our team name is Jungsangdongki. - Yes.

I like it.

Dong Hwi is very witty. I was impressed.

By the way, the other team made their team name.

- Right. I heard that. - They already picked a name.

- They wouldn't tell me the name. - Really?

They wouldn't tell me. Shall I subtly ask Dong Hwi?

- That's a good idea. - I should call him.

- Great. - I've never called him before.

What if he doesn't pick up?

Let's see.

(He's trying to contact the other team.)

Come on. Pick up.

- Hello, Seok Jin. - Hi, Dong Hwi.

Did you guys finish practicing? How did it go?

Oh, the practice?

(Chuckling)

Actually, we still have some things to sort out.

So I think we should gather again and practice together.

Did you guys make the team name too?

Yes, it's Jungsangdongki.

As in the companions to meet on top.

(The companions to meet on top)

Jungsangdongki?

Those who say they'll be on top always fail to do so.

Can you think of any good name for our team?

A name that I can think of right now?

Yes, a name that pops in your head when you think about us.

How about Jee Seok Jin's 70th Birthday Party?

- Thank you, Dong Hwi. - Bye.

(He ended the conversation hastily.)

Jungsangdongki sounds like a hiking club name. It's funny.

- It's like a four-character idiom. - Right?

I want something cool for our team.

- Let's come up with a cool name. - Let's do that.

Let's choose a really cool name.

The four of us could be the final members of MSG Wannabe.

- Of course. - Yu Yaho said...

that there's no limited number of members.

That's right.

- What name should it be? - I didn't even think about it.

- Wonstein, did you make that name? - Yes, I did.

- Can you think of a name for us? - I think he'll think of a good one.

I'm combining our names in different orders.

Jee and Park...

Koo... Koo...

- Jee... Koo... - Yes.

- You know, earlier... - Yes?

- What is it? - Do you have a good idea?

- It must be a great idea. - It must be.

Kooparkjungjee.

- It means "Stop mistreatment." - I like that.

That sounds nice.

- Why is my name Koo? - His surname is Kang, not Koo.

I thought your name was Koo Chang Mo.

His name is Kang Chang Mo.

(He thought of the member of Songolmae.)

His name is Kang Chang Mo.

Koo Chang Mo is...

- That's okay. - much older than him.

I got confused.

Is there any good name for our team?

MJ Wannabe.

(Isn't there any cool name?)

You know, V.O.S is an abbreviation of "voice of soul," right?

How about something with the word "music" in it?

- "Music?" - Yes.

How about "Men of Music?"

M.O.M. What do you think?

Men of Music.

- I like it. - Right?

It can be "mom" as in "mother" as well.

- Oh, my. Oh, yes! - "Mom." Oh, yes.

I love that name. M.O.M. "Mom."

Hey, Mom. We finally came up with our team name, Mom.

- M.O.M. It's nice, right? - M.O.M.

- Men of Music. - Men of Music.

- We are men of music. - The universe gave us that name.

- Exactly. - It's awesome.

M.O.M also sounds similar to "body"...

- in Korean. - That's right.

(What's that?)

With our bodies...

- Why are you touching your body? - I mean, our bodies...

- Please stop it. - Our bodies...

Please stop touching your body.

- Hey, who would think... - Or not?

We have different physical characteristics.

You have a cute body. You have a strong body.

- I have a mediocre body. - A mediocre body.

I have a sagging body.

- That's not true. - You know...

I know you work out hard.

- I don't look bad at all. - You work out hard.

Our bodies are gifts from our moms.

- From our moms. - Absolutely.

- This is amazing. - With our talents...

inherited from our moms,

- And with our bodies. - we sing with our bodies...

and become the men of music in this world.

(He's loving the meaning of the team name.)

This is incredible.

This is awesome.

Jungsangdongki sounds so childish.

- That's a really bad name. - Is it a hiking club or what?

Our team name is so sophisticated. M.O.M.

- I like that name. - M.O.M sounds great.

We chose such a great song, but it's difficult to sing.

True. We have to sing high notes consecutively.

- We can't take a break. - Exactly.

- Like running 150m at full speed. - Exactly.

It's such a difficult song to sing.

(When you reach the climax with heart-wrenching emotion,)

(without taking a break,)

(you have to keep singing high notes to the end of the song.)

(The song "Resignation" makes you give up on taking a break.)

I realized that singing harmony was harder than I had thought.

- You didn't sing harmony... - I've never done it before.

I got confused when singing with other people.

I can sing the harmony only when I practice alone too.

I can't seem to do it while singing with others.

I had never sung in harmony while anyone else...

before the rehearsal of "Doll."

You did so well for someone with no experience.

I managed it with my survival instinct.

I could rely on you while we were performing together.

When did you add this part that goes, "Bye, bye, bye?"

- While I was working on it... - I miss you baby

- I tried to add something catchy... - When I first heard it,

- I thought it was an instrument. - Really?

I recorded the harmony just to help you understand.

I listened to his solo version. That was incredible.

We should stick to it.

- I agree. It was perfect. - He should sing solo.

I'm embarrassed.

- Ki Seok has a beautiful voice. - Indeed.

No, that's not true.

(The team leader Ki Seok assigned different parts to the members.)

In this part, the phrases "all right" and "If you"...

would be better if we sing in harmony well.

Considering our voices, if we sing "all right" and "if you"...

in perfect harmony, this part will be more beautiful.

Don't turn around and just leave

- It says to leave, right? - Yes.

Leave

Jung Soo...

- and Sang Yi will sing the harmony. - And me.

- Just focus on the melody. - Okay. That'll be easier for me.

As if you're saying goodbye to someone you love...

(Dong Hwi and all, I won't shed tears as I should stay strong)

(Singing)

As long as we can pull it off,

our performance will be amazing.

Okay. Understood.

I'll follow your lead when singing the harmony.

We have a lot to practice.

- Singing a cappella... - But we have to show this much...

to let Yu Yaho know how much effort we've put into this.

And to show that we have good teamwork.

- Exactly. That's right. - We can surprise him.

Because I added these elements to the original song.

Okay.

(Jungsangdongki will start practicing.)

This reminds me of the blind audition.

It has been a while since I came to the recording studio.

Set. 1, 2, 3.

Ah, ah. D-flat, D-flat.

(Smiling)

I have never done this.

How do I adjust this?

(He quietly fiddles with the equipment.)

(I don't know if I am doing this right.)

- I am ready. - Let's go.

Jungsangdongki.

The friends you meet at the top.

JSDK.

(They practice harmonizing in the 2nd verse.)

(Ki Seok sings the main melody...)

(and the rest harmonize!)

(Both the melody and harmony stand out in this arrangement.)

(They focus on Dong Hwi's voice...)

(and add harmony so that the sound becomes richer.)

(Singing diligently)

(Jungsangdongki's practice goes smoothly.)

(I hope you meet a woman)

(Who is better than me)

How should I sing "Than me?"

- Than me - Like that? Okay.

- I will keep it fast. - Than me

(Concentrating)

Shall we keep it even?

(When they are unsure about something,)

(they ask the leader.)

(Once they decide on something,)

(he makes a note right away.)

(He plays the notes through an app...)

(and even uses the keyboard.)

(He perfectly follows the leader's guide.)

That's it. This part is really hard!

Give me something easy.

(When the oldest member struggles with the harmony,)

Adjust to me.

(He helps with the leader's guide.)

Then I will play the keyboard...

before we begin.

- Here. - Will you do that?

- I will play the keyboard. - "Here."

- "Here." - If you use that facial expression,

I will be able to memorize it easily.

That's right.

- Your facial expression was nice. - That's right.

(This is how Jungsangdongki prepares for the competition.)

(The leader continues to help them with the details.)

I think it's a bit off.

(The youngest one stays passionate and works hard.)

It should sound good if we do well.

- It will work if we practice. - That's right.

- Just leave me - We can do it. Let's do it.

Your voice almost put a hole in the ceiling.

I will awaken my inner dolphin.

That's great.

(Dong Hwi quietly does what he needs to do.)

(He controls the volume so that they can hear the harmony.)

(In the end,)

(their harmony becomes more pulled together!)

(What?)

When we sang just now,

the guide harmony was being played, right?

- No. - No.

- No? - That's right.

- I thought it was being played. - It came out well.

- It came out well. - I thought it was being played.

The harmony came out very well.

Thank goodness.

That day,

you guys harmonized perfectly when the shoot began.

- The first group performance. - "Doll."

Then, we didn't get to practice once.

- Seriously. - It was fascinating.

I have no worries.

I am the only one who needs to do well.

I think you guys are set.

(Everyone including Sang Yi)

(Ki Seok, Jung Soo, Sang Yi)

(Everyone including Dong Hwi)

(Making eye contact)

(Nodding)

(Sang Yi)

(Sang Yi, Dong Hwi, Jung Soo)

We will do better during the competition.

Jungsangdongki.

Thank you for your hard work.

(M.O.M enters the practice room.)

We will finally get to practice.

Just a chance to practice with you guys makes me happy.

- For real. - You are good too.

For real. The fact I am here with you guys...

Although I debuted as a singer, I haven't sung in many years.

I am so happy.

Instead of trying to stand out, I will try not to let you guys down.

Don't be ridiculous.

Let's make a great team.

- That sounds amazing. - Seriously.

- Sit here. - Okay.

(They form a team and get to practice!)

- Ah, ah. Check, check. - Ah.

- All right. - What should we do?

- You are the director. - I am...

Yes. The order is set.

Byeollu-Jee.

(Wonstein, Byeollu-Jee, Chang Mo, Jae Jung)

(A monologue has been added in the beginning.)

- Byeollu-Jee. - It was hard to secure this part.

You worked hard.

I secured this part after much effort.

Good job.

Then Wonstein will command the song with his sentimentality.

- After the two parts, it's over. - That's insane.

During these parts, you need to get sentimentality...

on the hook.

- The hook... - You sound a bit like a peddler.

Then Jae Jung and I will sprinkle some toppings.

So that's when you sprinkle the toppings.

We will sprinkle some toppings in the second verse.

Then Wonstein...

will add cream on the top.

- Wonstein's cream. - Wonstein's cream.

He will rip up the stage.

Do it. That sounds great.

Sing comfortably. "I am a fool."

(I am a fool)

(Gosh!)

- There is no music, right? - Yes.

Your voice is so warm.

It's like a hot pack. Okay.

- Shall we begin? - Let's begin.

Okay.

(Byeollu-Jee's monologue without music before the intro)

(Byeollu-Jee)

(I am a fool who can't tell you that I love you)

(Because I am afraid of the pain and sorrowful days)

(That will come after a breakup)

(A sorrowful monologue from a man who was born in 1966)

(Impressed)

(Because)

(I am afraid)

You should sing slowly as you did just now.

- Right? - Yes.

It was great.

I listened with my eyes closed.

I almost died from swallowing back my tears.

- Seriously? - I am serious.

- I am not joking. - It wasn't bad, right?

It was amazing. I'm not just saying this.

There is a part I really want to hear.

Why don't we sing the second verse with harmony?

Okay. Let's do that.

(They received the lyrics with the divided parts today.)

(Compared to the 1st verse,)

(the 2nd verse involves a lot of harmonizing.)

(One member sings the main melody...)

(and the other 3 members harmonize.)

(All parts in the 2nd verse are a minefield of harmony.)

(It's a key to harmonize throughout the 2nd verse!)

(Since they haven't harmonized with many people,)

(it will be a very difficult challenge!)

Shall we practice the second verse?

(Byeollu-Jee sings the main melody.)

(Everyone else piles their notes on to the harmony.)

(Chang Mo adds his high notes.)

(They sing to the best of their abilities,)

(but something seems awkward.)

(And)

(Sorrowful days)

(It doesn't sound right since it's their first practice.)

(They can only laugh.)

- This is hard. - This is hard.

- Harmonizing is really hard. - It's really hard.

Because I am afraid

We need to add harmony to that melody.

But it sounded very noisy since there was no balance.

- What? Noisy? - There was no balance.

- Did it sound noisy? - When you sing loudly,

we should add harmony.

But everyone sang loudly.

We should turn down the volume for harmony.

(Because I am afraid)

- That's Wonstein's. - It's yours, right?

- That's Wonstein's. - It's confusing.

(Because I am afraid)

That's mine.

- Because I am afraid - Sing like that.

You can do it.

- You can do it. That's right. - It's a short part.

- Okay. - Shall we try it?

- All right. - 3, 4.

(Chang Mo raises each note and adds to the harmony.)

(They sing slowly as if they are taking baby steps.)

(They finally get a taste of the 4-people harmony.)

This part is really hard,

- so let's sing comfortably. - Okay.

We will know what to do during the competition.

- We just need to practice. - That's right.

This is great.

We are really passionate about this.

I love it.

Let's try it again.

- Let's try it again. - We are doing great.

This isn't half bad.

This is M.O.M.

(They practice harmonizing endlessly.)

(That isn't the note.)

(No?)

(They struggle repeatedly.)

(They want to escape the minefield of harmony.)

(Nervous)

(Because)

(I am)

(Afraid)

(It was pretty good.)

- It's much better to sing softly. - Is it much better?

When we sing softly, the harmony comes together.

- The harmony comes together. - That's right.

It's fun to practice.

Let's practice some more. Let's practice some more, okay?

- Okay, okay. This is great. - Let's go.

It feels like...

- we really became M.O.M. - This is insane.

So this is what it feels like to be absorbed in the music.

Exactly.

(The passionate night passes.)

(Yu Yaho is at a place with the view of Changdeok Palace.)

It's a good day...

to have a meeting and converse with everyone.

I am a bit hungry.

I ought to have janchi guksu on this happy occasion.

A warm bowl of janchi guksu...

with five-colored garnishes and kimchi.

(The perfect pairing of janchi guksu, kimchi)

Let me taste the broth.

(He has a sip of the broth first.)

(He approves.)

This is great.

(Gosh.)

I'll get a big piece of kimchi.

(He wraps the noodles with kimchi.)

(Slurping)

(Amazed)

The long noodles of janchi guksu...

represent longevity.

(Slurping the noodles without biting them off)

(Slurping)

(Slurping rigorously)

This is so good.

(He's genuinely enjoying the noodles as he slurps them.)

(Slurping for the last time)

(Clean)

Now, I feel energetic.

(Whom will he interview now?)

(Let me see.)

(I see.)

This guy is so talented.

- Hello. - Hey, Dong Hwi.

(The third interviewee is Lee Dong Hwi.)

Gosh. I should take off my shoes. Okay.

(Struggling)

That will do.

You are indeed a fashionista.

(Chuckling)

- Nice to see you. Please sit. - Okay. Thank you.

You were...

the biggest element of surprise during this audition.

Thank you.

I could tell that you knew a lot of songs and are very talented.

But during the meetings, you seemed a bit passive.

Yes.

I'll check the audio now. Is there anyone who's uncomfortable...

with the microphone or in-ear monitors?

I think my voice sounded too quiet.

Lee Si Eon has a voluminous voice.

(Jung Soo and Ki Seok are used to speaking up.)

To be honest, I don't know.

I put on the in-ear monitor for the first time.

Dong Hwi, can you sing this part?

Do you think I can pull that off?

- No? - I'm not sure if I can do that.

So I want to have a 1-on-1 meeting with you.

Didn't your friends call you after the episode aired?

I got a lot of calls. So it was hard to answer all the calls.

I just changed my profile photo on my social media to Jim Carrey's.

(Laughing)

- Seriously. - You really did it.

- Yes. - Wait. What?

I didn't know that Jim Carrey had long hair like that.

Right. I found his photo with long hair.

You found the perfect photo and changed your profile photo.

- I'm a huge fan. - Same here.

- You too? - Yes.

As I already mentioned, you are a terrific singer.

Didn't you get any offers to become a singer?

Never. I swear.

I harmonized with other people...

for the first time when we sang "Doll" together.

It was your first time, but you were great at harmonizing.

First of all, my mother loves that song.

So I was used to the melody.

Somehow, everything just clicked.

I really think I got so lucky with the song.

That's how you could harmonize so well.

Let me tell you what my mother is doing right now.

She's been listening to that song every day.

- Your version of the song? - Yes. "Doll" and "Snail."

She only listens to those songs all day long.

My father told me that.

- All day long? - Yes. She asks me every day.

- What did she ask you? - "How far did you go?"

"What's happening?"

I don't even have the answers to those questions.

Does she know that you're having an interview today?

I told her that I was going to a shoot today.

What did she say?

"So how far did you go?"

(So how far did you go?)

- In "Reply 1988," - Yes.

you had to improvise while warming up.

In retrospect,

you couldn't have pulled that off unless you're a good singer.

Can you sing that again?

(His vibrato stands out in this warm-up song.)

(My mother is the best insurance planner)

(Scatting)

(Vocalizing)

(Vocalizing)

(He's listening to his improvisation in person.)

(My mother is the best insurance planner)

(Vocalizing)

That was it.

Seriously. My goodness.

Seok Jin keeps saying that he's Blue-Jee.

But the one with a bluesy voice...

- is you, Dong Hwi. - I see. Thank you.

Is there a song you've been practicing lately?

There's a song I want to sing for you.

Actually, during the blind test,

- I wanted to fool you. - You wanted to fool me.

Yes. I had a song in mind for that.

- Can you sing that for me? - Sure.

- Great. What is it? - Here it goes.

- I'm a bit shy. - Go ahead.

I'll sing Yim Jae Beom's "You."

My gosh. I love this song.

(How Do You Play?)

("You" performed by Lee Dong Hwi)

(If)

(I were to be in pain)

(The intro with his husky voice reminds us of Yim Jae Beom.)

(Engrossed in singing)

(If)

(Vocalizing)

(I were to be sad)

(Vocalizing)

(Impressed)

(I will)

(Turn into tears)

(That's amazing.)

He's so good.

(He's never sung with his husky voice.)

(This part sounds a bit like his real voice.)

(When it feels)

(Empty)

(Impressed)

(And lonely)

(Vocalizing)

(I will be)

(Your)

(Friend)

(Vocalizing)

(The song is reaching its climax.)

(Vocalizing)

(The master singer's ad-lib is on another level.)

(In awe)

(I am)

(Your friend)

(Vocalizing)

(His fancy technique makes him speechless.)

(Vocalizing)

(Vocalizing)

(Your eternal song)

(I am)

(I am)

(I am)

(Your)

(Happiness)

(Yu Yaho)

(Amazed)

I mean...

(Speechless)

- You are phenomenal. - Gosh. No.

- You are fantastic. - No, I'm not.

I mean, I don't know if I should say this in front of you.

As for the male vocal group I have in mind,

I need a singer with your voice. I really do.

Yu Yaho!

(Yu Yaho!)

By the way, Mount Acha has been staying together as a team.

So I heard that your group chatroom is very active with new messages.

Yes, it is always filled with new messages.

Usually, Jung Soo brags about his son.

- In that chatroom? - Yes.

I heard he uploads his family photo.

He went to a zoo with his family.

So I got to see a lion after a long time.

I saw a lion.

He didn't even take the photo with the lion.

He took a video of two lions walking together.

(This is the video from Jung Soo.)

(Only the lions are roaming around.)

I heard he uploads...

many of his family photos and so on to the group chatroom.

That's so funny.

When I met them,

it felt like I was meeting real celebrities.

It was fascinating.

"Boom Boom Boom," "Last Promise," and "Sad Promise."

I love these songs.

I couldn't believe that the singer was sitting right next to me.

Having had a chance to sing with him was great.

Whether you become a member of MSG Wannabe or not,

are there some things...

you're looking forward to or worried about?

I'm grateful that people are even listening to my songs.

I'm not being modest or anything.

- You're not being humble. - I see.

Well, I'm taking the time to meet with some of you in private.

I'm glad that I met with you.

You made me feel very confident.

Great.

It was great talking to you.

Anyway, I'll see you at the competition.

Thank you for coming, Dong Hwi.

Gosh. All right.

- Bye. - Bye.

- See you next week. - Thank you.

Gosh. The next interviewee was...

an unexpected find.

And this guy also makes me nervous.

From what I hear,

he's really been enjoying...

being a singer now.

I must ask him questions in detail. Goodness.

(He spots something.)

Hello, Byeollu-Jee.

Please call me Blue-Jee.

(Byeollu-Jee shows up.)

- Please take a seat. - Thank you.

(Rubbing)

Can I have a cup of tea?

- When I see food, I have to eat it. - All right.

- You're quite impatient, right? - Yes.

I'm the impatient type.

(He tends to act on instinct.)

(Satisfied)

(This time, he charges toward the traditional confectionery.)

Please leave it alone.

- Can't I have one? - No.

- I want to try it. Why can't I? - You can't.

If we're going to sit at a table and drink tea,

- we need something to nibble on. - Right.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, do you have any guesses...

- Yes. - about what I'm about to tell you?

- Normally, a 1-on-1 talk is... - Yes.

about something either good or bad.

- That's right. - Yes.

- Today, I've invited you... - Okay.

and a few others over to have an individual interview.

- I see. Thank you for having me. - That's why we are here.

Anyway, from what I've seen so far, including the group mission,

Byeollu-Jee is always at the center of the conflict.

It's Blue-Jee, not Byeollu-Jee.

(He made his singing debut with his 1st album "I Know.")

(His mellow voice helped him pass the audition.)

(But he is as hungry for talking as for singing.)

(He got zero abalones from the popularity poll.)

(The 56-year-old big brother who easily gets sulky)

(Even worse, he's most incompatible with the producer, Yu Yaho.)

(They're the complete opposite of each other.)

(To sum up,)

(he's better off solo than in a group.)

As I'm trying to form a group, even the slightest conflict...

worries me, to be honest.

Well, if I may...

- That's why... Don't get me wrong. - Okay.

- I wasn't sure about doing this. - What is it?

(What is it?)

Well...

This is not much though.

(Please take it.)

(Well, this envelope is...)

(I've only seen it in TV dramas.)

(I put quite a sum of money in it.)

Wait. This is real money.

Yes, I put real money in it.

Think of it as your travel expenses.

- You want me to leave? - Sorry?

- You want me to leave, right? - I mean...

If you're going to keep causing trouble...

But this is a little disrespectful to the viewers.

- How so? - Think about the support...

they're sending me right now.

(Dizzy)

Can you handle the consequences?

I'm on fire, you know.

I don't think you and your crew are aware of it.

I spend every day getting healed by reading comments.

I could just leave, but can you handle it?

Is there any memorable comment you've read recently?

- I have one. - What is it?

"Life is full of mysteries."

"Who knew I'd come here every day to listen to Jee Seok Jin's song?"

"You never know."

- Then let me take it back. - Thank you.

(Like in a drama, he takes his envelope back.)

All right. Let me ask this question.

- I got a tip-off. - About what?

We have photo proof over there.

What's it about?

Is that how you discipline your juniors?

You even had KCM watch your back.

- That was... That's... - I'm listening.

Was I crossing my arms?

Yes, you were.

- Wait. Hear me out. - Look at that.

- Say it. - What I said...

There was nothing threatening about what I said.

You don't know what you were saying though.

I don't remember at all.

It was probably about...

- how I sold my house. - That's correct.

- Right? - Yes.

I said I got the timing wrong.

- That's right. - I know.

(He was telling a sad story with his arms crossed.)

I was talking about that story.

I was trying to lighten up the mood.

- Also, you promised to follow... - Yes.

someone on social media, but you didn't follow him back.

I didn't?

- Didn't I follow him back? - No. Wonstein.

- Did Wonstein follow me? - Yes.

(Last week, Wonstein fell for Byeollu-Jee's charm.)

(They promised to follow each other on social media.)

Then he should've given me a heads-up.

He did it without letting me know.

- I had no idea. - Listen.

- You made a promise. - But...

- I did. - So?

I asked, "Should we follow each other?"

And he said, "Okay."

- So he followed me. - Yes.

I can follow him back now.

I can follow him now. I didn't know that.

I didn't know Wonstein followed me.

I have no idea. I feel so bad.

- Do you really feel bad? - Yes.

That's such a letdown.

- You don't know as you're not on. - Right.

- What I'm wondering is... - I'm the hip uncle.

- Pardon? - The hip uncle.

Isn't it more like the TikTok grandpa?

No, it's not.

(He has joined the trend of creating short-form content.)

(With his natural acting...)

(and fun, creative ideas,)

(he has become famous in the TikTok scene.)

I thought your nickname was the TikTok grandpa.

- Then what is it? - It's the hip uncle.

- Listen. - This is why...

- You're making me furious. - I mean...

- I can see the problem. - Look.

Did you say "grandpa?"

- Even though I'm the producer, - Yes.

- you still push your opinion on me. - That's not it.

- Listen to yourself. - No.

- That's not it. Listen to me. - Gosh.

- I want to be heard. - I know.

See? This can lead to an argument.

- This is how the producer and... - Look.

You changed your agency quite often, right?

- Tremendously. I can explain. - Hold on.

As I talk about my issues...

- and get everything off my chest, - Right.

- my anger toward you will die down. - This is serious.

- All right. We'll leave it at that. - Don't worry.

So we've set some ground rules for you.

Do you remember how Rain had...

- 20 Don'ts? - Yes.

- "Don't make a playful face." - Right.

(By analyzing Rain's moves and facial expressions,)

(his fan of 10 years came up with a list of requests.)

(20 Don'ts was inescapable even for Rain.)

Here are the 20 Don'ts for you.

Tell us honestly if you can follow these or not.

You'll have my honest answer.

(Don't hold a mic up when Yu Yaho is talking.)

(Don't go a beat faster when you sing in a group.)

- Here's the first one. - Okay.

"Don't hold a mic up when Yu Yaho is talking."

(Twitching)

(As soon as the camera rolled,)

(he held the mic up as if it's his body part.)

(Hesitating)

- That's up to you. - Just say whether you can or not.

Well, I can do that.

- Is that so? - That's easy.

Here goes the second one.

"Don't try to lead the show when Yu Yaho isn't around."

(But I hosted the show only for a fleeting moment.)

Tell me honestly.

- I can do that. - Can you?

- Next, "Don't show your ambition." - Okay.

I'm trying to hide it.

The next one is, "Don't let on when you're disappointed."

But that's my nature.

- But still... - I can't control it.

- Just don't let on too much. - All right.

- I know what you mean, Mr. P. - Yes.

Did you say "Mr. P?"

- It's short for Mr. Producer. - Okay.

You call me Byeollu-Jee too.

- Can I call you Lu-Jee then? - Yes.

No, it sounds like a loser.

Just stick to Byeollu-Jee. That's way better.

"Don't disclose your wealth without any particular reason..."

"or talk about real estate properties."

(Dizzy)

Can you promise not to do this?

Okay. I'm sorry.

- You got it? - Yes.

"Don't get overly excited about reactions on the internet."

Am I not allowed to get excited on the inside?

I can do that at least, can't I?

I won't let on even if I get excited.

- That's okay. - I'll keep it to myself.

- That's allowed. - I can get excited, right?

- I won't let on. - Great.

Next, "Don't make a mistake while trying to sound bluesy."

(I'll sing as you like.)

(Would you like it light...)

(or a little bluesy?)

- Simply put, you're pretentious. - Listen.

- I can change the way I sing. - Okay.

- I can keep it down. - Good.

- But I have every right, okay? - Okay.

- And I deserve that much. - Calm down.

- Are you yelling at me? - No, I'm not.

- Please calm down. - Who yells with a smile on?

- I'm not mad. - I think you are.

- I do it because I have the right. - You seem mad.

- No, I'm not. I'm sorry. - Okay.

- Yes, but... - So what they want is...

- "Don't make a mistake..." - "Don't make a mistake..."

- "while trying to sound bluesy." - "while trying to sound bluesy."

Okay, I got it.

Gosh, this is driving me nuts.

- Let's move on. - Okay.

All right. "Don't pretend to be a professional singer..."

"such as being sensitive about sound control."

(I think my mic volume was too loud for the music.)

(Can you lower the volume a little?)

(Just a tiny bit.)

Is this about how I asked to lower the volume a tiny bit?

I had every reason to ask it.

- I wasn't pretending anything. - Listen to yourself.

- I've been on stage. - Sorry?

- I've performed on stage before. - I mean...

- Even so... - You know how important that is?

- You know it. You've been there. - Right.

- The audio crew didn't adjust it. - For me...

(The audio crew didn't adjust it.)

- Pardon? - And you said it was perfect.

- Next up is the 18th one. - I see.

"Don't boast about your singing career."

I only talked about it because I was asked to.

- But still... - That's the reason.

I was only answering the question.

Why else would I talk about it?

This was written by our writers.

If you were going to do this, why did you even cast him?

- I'm not allowed to do anything. - Hey.

- Am I allowed to breathe? - The last one...

I can breathe, right?

- The last one... - Seriously.

- Why are there so many don'ts? - The 19th one is...

- I'm not allowed to eat this. - Don't.

(He blocks him right away.)

I can't complain.

I can't cross my arms.

Is there anything I can do?

All right. The 19th one...

I feel bad even to read this.

"Don't put your hands in pockets and lean on one leg."

I mean...

(Choked up)

That's how I've lived for the past 50 years.

- He got scolded because of that. - Well...

Why don't you just tie me down?

- He got scolded all the time. - Tie me down.

Our seniors scolded him all the time.

This is the last one.

- You've agreed on everything. - There's nothing I can do.

"Whether or not Yu Yaho is around,"

"don't act up."

Don't do anything except singing.

- What kind of show is this? - Well...

- If you're going to quit... - Yes?

(Please, take this.)

(No thanks.)

- It's our gratitude. - That won't be necessary.

- Tell me anytime. - Yes.

We didn't prepare this for anyone else.

- We saved it for you. - I see.

Which of the clauses do you find difficult to follow?

The clause about my behavior when the camera isn't running.

"Don't put your hands in pockets and lean on one leg."

It's just how I rest.

It's my way of enjoying the break time.

Let's say the camera's running.

I'd be standing right here...

(Healing)

Sure. I got it.

It was really funny. Sure.

When are we back on?

What if you're on the floor?

If I'm on this type of floor...

I'd first lean on it.

Do you have anything to drink?

I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone.

- True. - I'm doing it for myself.

- Anyway, I'm willing to comply. - Okay.

I'm 100 percent willing to cooperate.

- Understood. - Okay.

What do you think are your chances...

to become MSG Wannabe?

Me? Honestly...

About 30 percent?

How's that?

My relationship with Yu Yaho?

I think that's the biggest obstacle.

- I see. - I've thought about this too.

I'd be eliminated if I make even the smallest mistake.

You've debuted first...

- as a singer. - True. I was a singer.

You never got a chance to sing in front of a TV stage.

- It could be regretful. - It's my biggest regret.

You must have this thirst...

for singing.

It's not just a thirst.

I've been thinking about releasing my second album,

but several decades past.

- But I wasn't able to do it. - I see.

Thank you for coming today.

Is there anything else you want to say to me?

I hope that you'd judge without any prejudice.

I'd pick a group of people...

- who'd create... - Synergy.

- the most synergy. - Yes.

- I see. - That's my criteria.

- I have nothing else. - Sure.

- Don't worry. - Okay.

- I'll get going. - Thank you.

- Goodbye. - Yes. See you.

I'm the producer.

(A few days later)

(Jungsangdongki reunites for practice.)

Harmony.

(M.O.M is also practicing hard.)

I'm getting nervous.

Just sing it like when you're in karaoke.

It'd be better if we remove the chorus...

- and make you sing alone. - It could be.

- Why don't all four of us sing? - A quartet?

(Jungsangdongki showed off great teamwork from the start.)

("Resignation" is born again in various ranges of voices.)

But our strength was Boyz II Men.

(M.O.M turned unique voices into harmony.)

(Their "If" is sung with a carefully stacked harmony.)

(They practice every day...)

(to put on the best performance.)

Great job.

- Do you think we'll make MSG? - I think so.

- Goodness. - Are you going home?

We need to practice "Journey to Atlantis."

You're right.

(They start individual practice for "Journey to Atlantis.")

(It's a group song for MSG Wannabe...)

(that'll make them forget about the fierce competition.)

- Good work. - Good work.

Good job.

(After the group song practice, only the final competition remains!)

(Final competition day)

(Ta-da)

(Fancy lights are everywhere.)

(A big stage...)

(prepared by Yu Yaho.)

(It's all ready to go.)

(Someone enters with determination.)

(They all move to their designated spots.)

(Byeollu-Jee, born in 1966)

(Kim Jung Soo, born in 1968)

(Kang Chang Mo, born in 1982)

(Jeong Ki Seok, born in 1984)

(Lee Dong Hwi, born in 1985)

(Lee Sang Yi, born in 1991)

(Park Jae Jung, born in 1995)

(Wonstein, born in 1995)

(TOP 8 candidates for MSG Wannabe are here!)

(And a man is watching them.)

(The producer of MSG Wannabe)

(Yu Yaho)

(10 seconds left until the competition.)

(Their backs show their nervousness.)

(He's nervous too.)

We'll start.

3, 2, 1, go.

The eight voices that have moved Yu Yaho's heart.

(Who will be the final MSG Wannabe?)

(The competition to pick the MSG Wannabe members begins.)

(The final competition)

(Vocalizing)

(A surprise stage by Top 8, "Journey to Atlantis")

(I'm surprised)

(A dazzling harmony of Top 8)

(You're like a team!)

(Jungsangdongki's song,)

("Resignation")

(One can feel the sorrow of the four men.)

They're good.

(Touched)

(M.O.M's "If" responds to their performance.)

(The perfect harmony makes everyone tear up.)

(Both teams are impressive.)

(I must admit this.)

(It's time to make the decision!)

(Who will be the members of MSG Wannabe?)
