[Idol Recipe]

Hello?

Hey!

Why are you sleeping here on New Year's Day?

What's your apartment number? [January 1st, 2021 at 11:00 a.m.]

Where am I?

You're at an apartment complex obviously. What's your room number?

Did you sleep here even though you're not a resident?

I wonder whether the night guards are doing their shares.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I drank a lot yesterday, so I blacked out.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

What is this?

- What is it? - How much is it altogether?

You must've drunk a lot.

May I buy a hangover cure for you?

Or do you want some honey water?

I'm fine.

By the way, is that car yours?

It can't be. I don't have a car.

This is the apartment. Please bring a tow truck here quickly.

What?

That's your car.

What should I do? I already called a tow truck. I can't cancel it.

However, there isn't such a thing in the world that is already decided.

If you give me some money like how you spread it on the street,

I could show you my skill in canceling it.

We speak the same language.

By the way, I'm not a compliant person that you can negotiate at once like this.

I have to drive, so please take off the stickers on the windshield.

You're a big spender.

I'll bring a tool to detach them from the janitor's room and clean the windshield.

I should cancel the tow truck, right?

Yes.

Hey.

Please drink moderately. Drinking a lot can ruin your life.

Okay.

What is this car?

Darn it!

What a bad start on New Year's Day!

I don't remember anything from last night.

I'm going insane.

Hey.

Oh, my gosh!

You remember spending New Year's Eve with me, right?

Who are you?

I'm Kelly. We were in front of the Han River bridge together.

Ah, wait! Are you that fake singer, Kelly?

What? Anyway, you said you'd make me a real singer.

We decided to be a team yesterday. Don't you remember?

Do you have memory problems when you drink?

I'm going crazy too.

It's my first time blacking out since I became a manager 15 years ago.

You guys need time to search and find your memories.

Now, it's okay for you to drive.

Living life, like driving, isn't only about moving ahead.

You need to see your sides and back.

It's New Year's Day. Why don't you guys find your memories together?

Your memory of last night is the turning point in my life.

This is a contract.

Please look at it and try to recall it.

Okay?

Contract renewal form?

Hello, reporter Go. [December 30th, 2020: 48 hours ago at 11:15 a.m.]

See you at the coffee shop at the Loyal Hotel.

Do you want me to go on a blind date or not?

He's wearing a yellow tie.

Who on earth are you?

Who are you?

Don't go anywhere and stay still here.

Hey! Hey!

I got my car key stolen in broad daylight.

What the heck can you do?

I can do nothing. That's why I'm trying to do something.

This is a total mess!

You wait! I'll succeed as a singer.

[January 1st, 2021 at 11:20 a.m.]

You should go somewhere with me and say whatever you can recall.

Only Do Young signed it.

Can't you hear me?

You must have alcoholic dementia. How can't you remember last night?

That's why Bella can't be successful.

Bella?

Bella should be successful.

You remember Bella, right?

This is their exclusive contract, although only one member signed it.

Right. There are no other members' signatures.

But why?

We're a team.

Please pull yourself together, President Bae Jae Sung.

If you don't testify in favor of me, I can't inherit my father's properties.

President? Testify?

Are we really disbanded?

[December 31 at 11:20 a.m.]

Oh, my gosh.

[Name: Oh Eok Man]

What an embarrassment on the last day of the year! [Company: W Entertainment, Groups: Bella, Swans]

Honestly, among my other CEO friends, [CEO, owner, Idol Recipe's creator]

no one knows what I'm doing. Do you know why?

I didn't tell them who I was training

because no one showed any sign of being successful among you.

However, they now know who I'm training.

They know I'm the CEO of the Vomiting Idol.

I know, but you know about noise marketing, right?

A lot of people now know our trainees' names.

Trainees' names?

You can't find your names on the Internet.

Only the keyword "Vomiting Idol" is trending.

The old folk made the YouTube clip so well.

Honestly, he was good at editing.

"They are the real Avengers!" Is it right?

He used slow motion and sound effects of us falling. The editing was amazing.

Please be quiet.

You bastards! Shut up!

Now you're known to the public.

You'll be happy if your names are everywhere on social media, right?

Hey, you punks.

Don't you know how much I've invested in you?

How dare you lose my money before even debuting?

Hey.

Honestly, you haven't invested a lot in them.

You're so stingy...

I mean, you're a frugal CEO.

You're the same, you punk.

You're worse than these guys.

Get out of here.

Get lost!

As of now, I have no business with you guys. The end!

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Let's go.

Hi there, Cho Min Chul.

You call me every morning.

Hyungnim.

It's hard to call you every morning.

As I told you,

that money was from a private loan. I've been paying back interest every month.

I got it. I'll handle it soon.

You always make the same excuse.

I know paying the principal will take a while,

but you should pay the interest in time. [Cho Min Chul: Middle school alumnus]

[Debt details: Invested 150 million won in bankrupt Jaesung Company Capital]

I need to pay the practice room's rent fee.

The building owner is deducting money from my deposit.

I know well that the practice room is precious to you.

I didn't expect the great Jaesung to end up like this.

Please search on the Internet.

Enemies surround Bella because they are stigmatized as a Vomiting Idol.

Anyway, it's a bad situation.

I'll call you later, all right?

Wait, Hyungnim-

You guys are quite popular these days. You hit the jackpot as the Vomiting Idol.

So what?

I'm just jealous of you.

The number of views is impressive.

Why don't you vomit on stage if you're so jealous?

That's not right.

I have no idea why our CEO recruited you guys.

We belong to the same agency, but we're way out of your league.

What did you say?

I warn you not to harm our reputation by your behavior.

Our videos get way more views than yours.

Our video clips are trending worldwide.

Oh, really?

Eat this!

Come on!

Are you out nuts?

I'll break your finger.

Hey. Please stop.

Min Ju.

That's enough.

[Yeo Jeuk Do: CEO of Log Entertainment]

It's me. Let's meet up. Should I go to you?

What is it about?

There's more we need to talk about.

It's a business-related thing.

Wait there. I'll go there.

Song Ji An.

Who is that on the phone?

Oh... it's nothing...

[Crazy ex-girlfriend]

Just a second.

Hello, Chae Young.

I'm sorry to call you again.

Yes, what's the matter again?

The tax office has sent an unpaid bill again.

Didn't you say you handled it already?

That's old news! I told you to just ignore it.

How can I ignore it? It's over 100 million.

I mean,

his shares are distributed to many holders. So the representative has no blame in it.

I asked a tax accountant about it.

[Name: Moon Chae Yong] [Nickname: Debtor 2]

I'm ineligible due to the false stockholder list. [Debt: Took out a 200 million won guaranteed loan for Jaesung]

They say I should vindicate myself through a legal process again.

It's really complicated.

I'm feeling uneasy calling you for this matter after breaking up.

But what can I do?

I can't start my business due to money matters.

I just let you use my name because I trusted you.

You should handle this issue, right?

I got it. I'll handle it.

Please send a photo of the unpaid bill.

Please know that I became a credit defaulter because I lent my name

to your bankrupt company.

I can't get any loans for my business.

But having me handle the taxes too?

Isn't that too harsh?

I got it! I heard you.

I'll handle it. Don't worry.

Don't you know who I am? I'm Bae Jae Sung!

Oh, no! Are we really disbanded?

Oh, my god!

Please come up with something.

What can I do?

Please do something. You're our manager.

Okay. I'll handle it. I should.

The company has dumped us.

I'll leave for my personal business.

Okay.

Let's have some private time.

I'll find a temporary practice room.

[Credit Account Madam No]

[January 1st, 11:30 a.m.]

I said we should go somewhere. Why did you come here?

I think I should see the CEO here to recall everything.

This is Log Entertainment, right?

It's the company of the crazy CEO, Seo Ye Rin, right?

You're right. It's that rude bitch's personal company.

I'm sure I must receive something here.

The memory of receiving something won't disappear.

They must be waiting for me, although it's New Year's Day.

Please stay here. I'll be back.

Okay.

- Manager Bae. - Yes?

Did you get into a fight yesterday?

They put up a heck of a struggle.

Have you got all their agreements?

I knew it. It was the consent form.

Why did you come early? The appointed time was 12.

The deadline is 12?

First, please give me my money.

Let's go for it.

Was it one billion won?

- What? - What?

[December 31st, 2:00 p.m.]

[Company: Log Entertainment] [Role: Real owner]

The great Ji An must be in need of money, [Name: Seo Ye Rin, daughter of a chaebol family, Ji An's ex-colleague]

seeing you're visiting me.

The CEO wanted to see me.

[Name: Yeo Jeuk Do] [Company: Log Entertainment, Role: Puppet boss]

The reason why I wanted to see you is- [Former gangster and Jae Sung's ex-colleague]

Almost everyone knows that the real CEO is me.

Are you pretending not to know? Or are you really that dumb?

Hey. I'm the CEO.

Please save my face.

Ji An, please take a seat here.

I suggested recruiting you.

You may lack in certain ways, but you're a good singer.

So, do you want me to be your playback singer?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I've come to the wrong place.

I was being considerate because of our old friendship.

Shouldn't you be humble and say thank you in this kind of situation?

What is our old friendship?

What?

Having spent time together as trainees is what you call an old friendship?

That wasn't a good memory for me.

You mustn't be in need of finding an agency

by the look of raising your head straight and boosting your ego.

I'm hungry.

I'm really hungry.

I don't have any food for the day.

However, I'd rather be dead than bowing my head to you.

I'm sorry.

Hello, Mr. Yeo Jeuk Do.

It's been a while.

You're still clumsy at work.

You're Ji An's manager, right?

He used to be my right-hand man.

I wasn't your right-hand man at all.

I think I can help you.

You seem to have heard our dialogue.

Why don't we move to another place?

There are many people here.

To talk about an important issue, we need to relax and talk quietly.

This is my favorite drink. It costs 10 million won.

Seo Ye Rin is the daughter of a chaebol family.

I'm ready to listen to you.

She was born rich and is a super rude person.

I'm so annoyed!

How often did I tell you I won't go on that program?

When I ate expensive steak, you ate cup noodles.

When I drank expensive water, you drank Arisu.

We have never been in the same league.

You're no match for me.

She used to be Ji An's best friend.

But she always fell behind in dancing, singing, and appearance compared to Ji An.

She's always had an inferiority complex against Ji An.

What's the method?

The method to ruin her.

Why are you so hell-bent on ruining her?

When someone hates someone, isn't it natural to want to kill the other party?

That's natural.

That's human nature.

Please suggest the cruelest way. I'll support you with unlimited money.

I want all of Bella's members to sign a contract with Log Entertainment.

As a member, Ji An can't help but join your company.

Are you selling your people for your benefit?

I'll get their agreements and break off business connections with W Entertainment.

However,

you need to give me a heft contract price.

I want...

one billion won in cash.

I'll lose if I become flustered.

Let's be serious.

Just get all the members' agreements.

I'll give one billion won at the next meeting right away.

Okay. She took the bait.

Are you an amateur?

I want another 1 billion for the group's 5-year contract.

You also need to handle the cost of making their albums.

Why would I pull myself out like this?

Please listen to my plan.

You just make them only practice for five years.

Then their idol life will be finished.

Make the excuse that you need to reform the vomiting idol image.

It's a plan of dragging out time.

By the way, aren't they the group you've been working hard to make successful?

I'm doing it because I worked hard.

Don't interfere with me about the group's contract price.

Then, I'll get their agreements for a 5-year contract.

You want to play a game.

I like your way.

The contract price is just one billion won.

Crazy bitch. Why won't this young punk use honorifics?

Just give me a lot of cash.

I'll leave this industry after paying all my debt.

I'm sick of the entertainment industry.

My life goal is to break free from the entertainment industry.

I want the game to be fun.

The deadline is tomorrow at midnight.

Use it for your plan.

You have a misunderstanding.

I already gave you the money. [January 1st, 11:15 a.m.]

She already gave me all the money?

Yes, I received it.

By the way, how much was it?

One billion won in cash.

Two briefcases full of 50,000 won bills.

Are you saying you don't remember such a big deal?

I'm going now.

[December 31, 8:50 p.m.]

Wait a minute.

Let's have a drink.

It's a drink for ending this year and preparing for next year.

Okay. I'll get off to a good start.

It's my first drink in two years.

It's really tasty.

May I take it as a token of remembrance?

You know what's expensive.

The production cost of it alone is 9 million won.

Take it freely.

Here you go.

I'm tired.

You're on a roll these days.

Let's have a drink with us.

Thank you.

It's tasty.

I saw you on TV.

You're becoming the highest-paid singer.

Don't pretend you don't know us later.

You've overestimated my charms.

These days, I feel that

popularity is similar to money.

As I get more popular, there's no way to boast, and it becomes annoying.

However, don't worry.

I'm loyal to you guys.

No matter how famous I get, I won't betray our friendship.

You know that, right?

- I know. - I know.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- Let's drink! - Okay. Bottoms up!

Bottoms up!

[Yoko]

How dare you keep calling a celebrity!

Why do you want to meet me?

I don't want to see his face again.

[Name: Yoko][Company: W Entertainment, secretary of the CEO]

We plan to take legal action-

That's your business.

When you finish calculating the money, let me know the settlement money.

Don't call to ask to meet me.

There's no reason to meet.

I understand the manager couldn't forget my beauty.

Anyway, contact me when the settlement money is decided. I'm busy.

A singer? What a joke.

No matter how popular she is, she's just a daughter of a nouveau riche family.

She imitates well, but she's just a good-looking fake.

You speak so entertainingly.

A good-looking fake? I agree!

Cheers!

- Please give us more ice. - Yes.

Stop laughing.

A good-looking fake.

I was once a famous child actor.

My parents, who weren't financially savvy, hired a manager.

That manager didn't distribute a year's worth of performance fee and fled to the US.

Now I've been working as a manager, not an actor,

An idol manager for 15 years.

Hey! Stop!

Are you imitating charcoal-grilled squid?

This is all you could do with that huge sum of money?

Is it a dress or a rug?

Did you order it?

My ears aren't wrong, right?

Get a hold of yourself.

Entertainment CEOs have exploited me.

My independent company collapsed.

I lost all my money and was saddled with huge debts.

It's hard to get an opportunity, but easy to lose it.

The opportunity of earning one billion won has come to me.

It's an excellent bottle. Have a drink.

How are they doing?

Who?

The vomiting idol.

Yes.

I'm out of alcohol.

You have a talent for surprising a person.

This is that expensive drink.

Do you know what my favorite quote about life is?

No matter how harsh the windstorm is, time passes.

It's what Shakespeare said.

It doesn't mean you should endure because time will pass.

Macbeth expressed,

"If it's my destiny, I will kill the king."

It's what he said.

I recorded what you said before.

We're a group sharing a common destiny. So, please trust me.

I want one billion in cash now.

Having worked for 15 years in this industry, I've never betrayed my artists.

However, I always have precautions.

If I fail to get their agreements,

I'll give you a cancellation fee twice the principal.

My gosh.

Yeo Jeuk Do was right.

You're a total nut with guts.

What are friends for?

Please do well this time.

Take the one billion won

and your favorite luxury sedan.

You know what will happen if you fail, right?

I know.

It's done.

Now both of you, please leave the room.

We need to talk about our business.

Okay. Goodbye.

How much investment do you need?

About 10 billion?

Ten billion only for batching?

It's small potatoes. I'll buy it when you invest.

I've succeeded.

I'm wearing designer clothes and have a foreign car, and one billion won in cash.

My splendid new life will begin now!

I'm still alive.

I'm Bae Jae Sung. Bae Jae Sung!

The king of the entertainment industry is back!

Did you see what I did, you punks?

Let's live a great life.

Shouting in your car is okay, but you won't drive drunk, right?

Of course not.

I'm waiting for a designated driver, but he has yet to come.

- A designated driver? - Yes.

Please wait a minute.

I'm a regular customer of the bar over there.

I'll wait for the driver in there.

Goodbye.

Don't drink and drive.

Of course.

I want one more.

- One more? - Yes.

I'm not getting drunk no matter how much I drink.

It's like I'm taking an oblivious drug that a witch made.

One more.

You don't get drunk.

Would you want more strong liquor?

That'll be great.

Please wait a second.

Hey.

Who are you?

So we finally meet.

You're late.

Why don't we get to the point since we don't have time to waste?

- What? - You're not young.

Yet you want a hospital building under the promise of marriage?

Excuse me.

You want to turn your life around by marrying me?

Look, reporter Go.

I know our family only has money,

but we're not ones to throw our money away so easily like you'd think.

- Who on earth are you? - What do you mean?

I'm the only daughter of the nouveau rich family who's here on a blind date with you.

Who are you?

Hello. Yes, report Go.

You were waiting but you're leaving now?

I'm in the hotel now.

Hey. Don't go anywhere and stay still here.

Hey. Put the key down.

You're the owner of the car key!

What brings you here?

- I'm a VIP here. - What?

All those drinks are probably under my tab.

Shit.

Aren't you happy to see me?

Why would I be?

It's not like we're mortal enemies.

Did you get your car key?

Our legal team will be on you tomorrow.

You hold grudges.

Let's make a truce.

South and North Korea are also in a state of truce, so we can too.

Take a seat. I'll sit here.

Come on.

Why are you drinking this cheap one? Should I buy you a drink?

I also have a lot of money. I'm just not accustomed to it.

What are you talking about?

I won't ask you to pay me back. Just drink from my bottle.

My body can't digest cheap liquor like this.

Get lost, you faker.

Did I say something wrong?

Ahjussi.

- Why? - Look at me.

- Look at me straight! - What's wrong with you?

Although I'm a fake,

I'm better than real singers, don't you think?

I have a lot of money.

I'm pretty

and I have a nice body.

[January 1, 07:30 a.m.]

Hey.

Who on earth are you?

Don't you remember about last night?

Last night? What about it?

You were hammered

and you did...

I did what? What did I do?

Why did you do that?

I said no!

Why!

What do you mean?

Hey.

Try to make sense. What did I do yesterday?

By the way, who are you?

Where is the man?

Tell me.

I don't want to go. [Around dawn of last night]

I'm telling you, this works.

As a gift of reconciliation,

I'll take you to the special place of managers.

Whatever. I'll become a member of Bella, right?

I need the members' permission.

Please put me on the team.

I want to be a real singer, not a fake one.

We've arrived.

How is this an attraction?

This really works.

"Follow me. Do you have any worries?"

"There's only one of you in this world."

"What made you so sad?"

"You're truly a great person."

Really?

"I really like you."

Thank you.

How do you feel?

You feel good, right? It's effective, right?

I come here whenever I feel like biting my tongue to die.

When everyone swears at me,

when no one knows my mind,

and when no one compliments me.

I come here.

Hey.

Hey, faker.

Come on.

Ms. Kang Dong Ja?

Yes.

I'm from Gangnam police station. Someone reported you.

Me? [January 1, 8:00 a.m.]

First, let's go to the police station.

What? Wait a minute.

Ms. K, who was gaining popularity with her sexy and provocative dance songs

has been charged with sexually harassing a male idol trainee.

[Kelly]

Wait. She picked up.

Hello?

Put the manager on the phone.

What's your business?

Put him on right now. I'm dying of injustice.

Please calm down and take a seat.

I didn't do it!

You both woke up in the same room.

That's proof. What else do we need?

It's not true. I don't know him.

Although I'm past my prime marriage age, why would I sleep with such a young kid?

It's not true!

True or false?

I'm kidding.

The evidence is obvious.

He isn't even my type.

Look, Ms. Kang Dong Ja.

My type is a man who at least has a master's degree from top universities

and is a tall gentleman.

Forget it. I won't say anything until my secretary comes.

Call Secretary Pyo. I won't say a word.

Be quiet. I'm not talking.

I see.

If you want to catch a gigolo, you need definite proof and a witness.

A witness? I said there's a witness.

Who is it?

You're late.

- Who on earth are you? - Who are you?

Bottoms up!

Have you done getting the agreements? [January 1, 12:05 p.m.]

You spoke with bravado that you would get them by midnight.

You didn't waste all the money on gambling, right?

All of it?

What are you talking about?

No way, I don't even know how to gamble.

I can get it done by midnight.

I just came to check the time.

Midnight.

It's midnight, not noon.

The current balance is 6,800 won.

Did I really receive one billion won?

Then why don't I have it now?

Where on earth did that money go?

What did I do after getting their agreements?

Did I gamble?

What? Did he go?

Gosh.

Oh, my gosh!

It's for your hangover.

Hamburgers are the best hangover cure.

How's that crazy bitch, Seo Ye Rin?

Her family is really rich.

She's way richer than my family.

However, I'm better than her.

I'm much prettier and more intelligent than her.

I'm a cut above her in every aspect.

Why did you drop by there?

Do you recall anything?

You look like you remember something.

I remember we coincidentally met at a bar.

Right, we made up there.

Do you remember where we went for our second round?

Second round?

I don't remember that either.

If you're lying, I'll kick your ass.

It's a matter of life or death.

This can be the last opportunity in my life.

My life also depends on your memory.

Hey.

Did we gamble?

What? No way.

There are several things I never do.

Religion, fishing & gambling.

I'm cool, right?

- I'd never gamble. - Right. I think so too.

I think we went here yesterday.

No Bar. The female owner.

- Karaoke No Bar? - Yes!

- The bar hostess, No Ji Hyun? - Yes.

Who is this?

It's you, Manager Bae... I mean, President Bae.

Oh, come on.

Hey.

Did I go there yesterday?

You've been avoiding my call for six months due to your bar tab.

However, you dropped by yesterday.

You treated me so well.

Okay. I'll go to your bar now. See you there.

If you call me, [No Ji Hyun: Jae Sung's favorite bar hostess]

I'll bathe myself and be there immediately. [Nickname: Creditor 3 with 30 million won on tab]

See you later.

You have a hefty tab there.

It was both for work and pleasure, right?

No, it's just where I relieve my stress alone.

I kept drinking and the tab just grew.

I understand. It's okay.

My father always goes to his favorite bar hostess too.

He said there's loyalty in drinking.

I've known her for a long time. We're loyal to each other.

Anyway, I'm suspicious that she picked up so cheerily.

- Oppa! - Hi.

You were really cool yesterday.

- Really? - Of course. Please come in.

Hello.

Please bring me my tab. [December 31, 10:00 p.m.]

Why?

Will you put more money on the tab?

You can't do that today.

Please just do what I tell you.

I have my reasons, okay?

By the way, who is she?

Don't you know her? She's a famous and pretty fake singer.

Yesterday's foe becomes today's friend. It's something like that.

I can judge her by her look.

The interior is old, but there's a retro-modern charm to it.

Besides myself, my friends and alumni drank a lot under my name.

Right, the entertainment industry has been struggling.

I'm just thankful they still come by.

You guys are longtime customers.

They at least pay the basic price.

I don't get it.

Why have they had a tab for this long?

It must be an extreme job to work in the entertainment industry.

It's for my tab.

It's for my friends' tab.

It's for my hoobaes' tab.

Screw it, here's one for you Madam No.

[Tab: 40 million won] [Balance: 960 million won]

You're really rich.

You paid in cash. Amazing.

What is this?

Let's have fun tonight.

You finally hit the jackpot?

I knew you'd be successful!

Let's have fun all together.

I'll sing all the soundtracks I made. It might be around 100 songs.

Only three of us will have fun?

The party will be fun if we bring more guests.

Are you kidding?

Bring your best employees and call the performance team too.

Right. I have two special guests I have to invite.

Who are they? Are they fun?

We talk on the phone every day.

I want to invite them to celebrate winning the lottery and pay my debt.

I'll treat you the best today.

I, Bae Jae Sung,

will lead you to the land flowing with milk and honey!

- Hey. - Welcome.

[Balance: 810 million won] [Debt to Min Chul: 150 million won]

Hello.

Oh, It's Chae Young.

[Balance, 610 million won] [Debt to Chae Young: 200 million won]

Hello.

Everyone, bottoms up!

Good.

How much did I spend last night?

Okay.

Where did I go after singing my heart out?

Will she join Bella?

I have yet to get permission from other members.

You left here while singing,

saying that a problem occurred to the team leader.

What? Do Young, the leader?

Thank you for coming, Secretary Pyo. [December 31, 11:00 p.m.]

I told you about him on the phone.

He is the CEO of my new agency.

He's even more fun than me.

We've decided to be a team. [Name: Pyo Dong Seok, Company: Kelly's Agency]

[Role: Private secretary] [Kelly's stoic assistant]

Hello.

He's usually a bit stoic.

However, he's definitely on my side.

It's good to have someone who is on your side.

Hello.

Do Young got totally wasted.

[Name: Kang Do Young, Group: Bella] [Agency: W Entertainment, Role: Leader]

It's nothing, you loser. It's just a small sum.

Do you want to die?

We'll change the member.

We really went to go gambling. [January 1: 1:30 p.m.]

I can't recall what happened from there.

Do I have alcoholic dementia too?

No way, you're so young.

Did you take something weird?

Did you lose your money by gambling?

Well...

[January 1: Midnight]

I moved to a new house.

It's fully equipped.

Full house.

It defeats that, right?

I felt like I had become a card shark.

I followed Yoko's directions at the critical moment.

What is this?

- You win. - I won!

He said I won.

Yoko was a real card shark.

She was a perfect assistant.

Thanks to Kelly, the bet was growing bigger.

We were a fantastic team.

Ping!

All in!

Because I had enough funds, I became audacious.

I don't know how much I won.

Let's end the game.

I won!

Then you didn't lose your money by gambling.

Including your tab [January 1, 2:00 p.m.]

and paying back Min Chul and Chae Young,

you recouped the money by gambling.

That's amazing.

Right.

[610 million won] [Gambling jackpot: 390 million won]

[Balance: One billion won]

Where did that huge amount go?

Should I be suspicious of them?

Madam No? Kelly?

Come on.

Hey.

Did you see my black attach case?

Attach case?

Do you mean the bag you gave to Chae Young?

What? Why did I give it to her?

Is this story about a bag of money now?

[January 1, 2:30 a.m.]

Hey! Do Young.

Please wake up.

Oh, Mr. Bae!

Come on.

Drink this and sober up.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Today is the happiest day of my life.

Let's talk about serious stuff tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Inform the members to gather to Song Jung Sang Beef Restaurant.

Let's fill our stomachs with beef. It's been a while.

Beef?

Yes. Beef.

This is your phone.

I'm Kelly.

I'm also a singer.

We'll soon become famous together.

I've been looking for an angel investor to break away from CEO Oh.

Finally, I've met an investor.

Can you guess how much I got?

How much did you get?

One billion won.

One billion won?

- Amazing. - Unbelievable.

So investments actually happen in real life.

I thought it was only liquor talking.

Then we won't get disbanded?

Of course not.

If I get all your agreements, everything will be fine.

That's why I need all of you to sign an agreement by midnight.

All five of us?

Not a single person can skip out.

Every single person?

I'll make an important announcement later.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

I want to sign it too.

As a fake singer, you need to practice before becoming a real one.

By the way, what's wrong with you, Do Young? The calls and text messages.

Oh...

It's an issue about finding a caregiver.

My father needs to be cared for 24-7 due to his severe dementia.

However, it costs a lot.

Dementia?

Right. Director Chae Young.

She said she would take over a dementia management hospital.

I have a good memory, right?

Bingo!

It's me, Director Moon.

You said your company needs more money to take over a hospital.

I want to invest in it.

In return, prepare a room in the hospital.

The best one you have.

Actually, Chae Young.

Wait right there. I'll head over now.

Secretary Pyo, please take us to No bar.

Chae Young!

[Balance: 500 million won] [Funds for taking over a hospital]

Thank you.

Right. That's why Do Young renewed his contract.

Yes. He signed it without any hesitation. [January 1, 3:00 p.m.]

By the way, did she receive all of the 500 million won?

She didn't give me a discount?

She took every penny.

I first learned that the attach case could fit exactly 500 million won.

Did she take that case too?

Yes.

She left as soon as she got the money.

Where the heck did the other one go?

I should have another 500 million left.

Right.

I called the number on the business card, but there was no answer.

I have a bad feeling.

Oh, Oppa!

You were holding the other bag before going to the beef restaurant.

- Really? - Yes.

[January 1, 3:00 a.m.] [Song Jung Sang Beef Restaurant]

It's huge.

There's 500 million won inside, right?

Pass me a lettuce.

Guys.

Give me one too.

I think to jumpstart Bella's career we should...

I have something to say to you guys.

I met Seo Ye Rin earlier.

Log Entertainment wants to recruit me.

Why did you go there alone?

What about us?

They wanted me to come alone.

Are you bragging about catching a lifeline at our farewell party?

Hey.

I didn't expect you to be so selfish.

- No, that's not it- - I don't care.

You're selfish.

We don't need you either.

Get lost!

You betrayer.

You're so mean and selfish.

Why wouldn't you tell us after the meal?

Will you quit like this?

How much is it?

Here.

Look.

Do you remember this?

This is the video I see whenever I'm exhausted.

You said,

"Don't give up."

Hey. Why are you crying?

It's okay.

Come on.

Lean on me.

Hey, this is expensive!

I'm not sure if I should keep being an idol.

Maybe I should only compose or act again.

I'm unsure which way to go.

Me too.

But I can't go back to the dark period before meeting Mr. Bae.

[Jang Jun, Group: Bella] [Agency: W Entertainment, Role: Genius producer, acting major]

[Xenia, Group: Bella] [Agency: W Entertainment, Role: The goddess of beauty]

Look.

Finally, I found you. I've been looking for you!

I'm sorry. Things got serious, so I forgot to call you.

It's almost done.

You said it's important. Here.

We made the cut.

What?

The top prize is 300 million won.

- It's 300 million won? - It's amazing, right?

Hey, it's the K-Pop battle contest.

They evaluate the song and video, so it's not easy to make it in.

What is that?

Let me see.

I uploaded our dance video.

We got in.

You know the song Jun made for Xenia, "Spectrum".

The contest's theme is diversity.

That's why I rearranged it

into a K-Pop version. I made it my style. [Legi, Group: Bella]

Frankly, we can't do it alone.

Ji An probably could do it herself.

Guys.

So,

I think we still need Ji An, right?

I know you're right.

But will she join us again?

Ji An!

Hey.

I'm sorry, Ji An.

I can pay for your practice room and outfits

if you renew your contract.

I'm sorry, sir, but I don't want to renew mine.

I'm sorry, but me neither.

Why not? Don't you trust me?

The contract isn't important.

Let's enter the contest and show what we're capable of.

Contracts just give me a headache.

There are better times to talk about renewing our contract.

Guys.

Let's talk about it later,

but take a look at this.

This is the practice room that CEO Bae Jae Sung will buy.

You need a practice room if you want to enter the contest or shoot content for YouTube.

Right? Look here.

It's great, right?

- Daebak. - Nice, right?

- Amazing. - Is it real?

- It's so spacious. - There's a monitor too.

- I said that it was great. - Where is it?

- It's more than 50 square meters. - Really?

It's amazing, right?

Mr. Bae really bought it?

- Yes. - Don't lie.

It's no joke, right?

My gosh.

It's huge!

I got the video from your friend Cho Min Chul beforehand.

I did good, right?

Can I become a member now?

Please?

Then we went to the practice room in Mangwon-dong? [January 1, 4:00 p.m.]

The restaurant employee said the chauffeur service's destination was there.

And we didn't get any of their signatures yet, right?

- Yes. - I was holding the bag too, right?

Yes, and I also didn't get permission to join the group yet.

Okay. Let's go there first.

Wait.

As you promised, after going to the practice room,

you'll go testify for me, okay?

Okay.

I promised you.

I've always kept my promises in my 15-year career.

Where are they?

They aren't here.

I don't want to do this anymore.

I'm completely exhausted.

I won't live anymore.

I leave this to let you know before I take my leave.

- What's wrong? - Hey!

- Chae Young took the principal you paid back - This is Min Chul's will.

- along with my business funds. - I'll go to the rooftop,

and you go to the parking lot.

She ran away with your investment of 500 million won too.

There are lots of victims.

- Hyungnim. - What?

[January 1, 3:30 a.m.]

You know Director Moon we were just with?

Yes, my ex-girlfriend. What about her?

She said she needed money to hire a lawyer to take over the hospital.

She asked me to lend her money.

And she promised to transfer a lot of shares.

- Did she? - Yes.

I took out a loan for my restaurant's premium.

She said she'd pay me back in a day. It should be fine, right?

How much did she ask for?

About 50 million won.

That's a modest sum.

I think she didn't ask me because she felt bad.

Help her and if something happens, I'll take responsibility for it.

- I'll take your word for it and transfer the money then. - Okay.

- Hello? - Manager Bae.

Lawsuit?

He said he would sue them, including you.

What? Me too?

Does he have a death wish?

Alright.

Oh Eok Man.

I had to climb that mountain one day.

He's the one who dragged me into this industry.

He's the one responsible for exploiting my youth and then dumping me.

Those kids practiced hard and diligently from the get-go.

Even now, they're dancing hard in this new practice room.

What's the matter?

I have to burn the bridge between Oh Eok Man and me.

Do you have a way? Because I don't think so.

A manager with 15 years of experience always has an insurance plan.

But you don't know where he is at this late hour.

I know where he always goes to at this time.

Anyway, please take care of them, okay?

Okay, be safe!

Oh Eok Man, you pervert!

I'll end our wicked 15-year relationship.

Min Ju, have you ever heard of the idol recipe?

No. I don't know what it is.

Is it a recipe to become a successful idol?

Yes.

You're a smart one.

The idol recipe I'm thinking of is verification.

Verification?

Right. A verified composer.

Verified choreographer, verified PR manager,

and a verified CEO. As in me.

What are you doing there, you bastard?

What?

Take this away.

Hurry up and leave.

How dare you come to my office?

There's something I should handle.

What?

From my knowledge, our relationship ended today.

What brings you here, Mr. Bae?

You unilaterally fired me after exploiting me for 15 years.

What bullshit are you saying, you crazy punk?

I should've never taken you in.

You should burn the bridge with Bella too.

Bella? What is Bella?

I have no memory of that. Is it the name of the snack?

Aren't you curious about what's inside?

I'm curious.

Shall we talk about it?

Where is it?

It's here.

Ji An's Social Media Rookie of the Year award.

This was back in your heyday, right?

The first and last award.

This is the only award you've gotten in 15 years, you idiot.

You know about Jun and Xenia's lawsuit.

How much do you need to drop the charge against them?

Jun and Xenia?

Do you mean the bastards who ruined their lives and wasted my precious money by dating?

I know very well how much you invested in Bella.

Plus the settlement fee, which is 500 million won.

So 500 million won should be enough, right?

CEO Oh Eok Man.

Bravo.

You're implementing what you've learned from me.

Solving problems with cash!

Hurry up and take it before I change my mind.

Okay.

What are you doing, you bastard?

Do you want me to kill you?

How about fighting in court?

How dare you!

I'll cut your fucking finger and munch it.

[January 1, 7:00 p.m.]

I lost 1 billion in 1 night.

My ex-girlfriend, whom I once loved,

and my assistant of 15 years took half each.

Although they won't compensate those they caused damage to,

I still hope they'll succeed this time.

I hope other more powerful people won't exploit them.

But what have I earned from one night's commotion?

Hey!

I still saved a life.

And...

[January 1, 6:00 a.m.]

I finally received it.

[January 1, 7:30 a.m.]

Your dream was to become a ballerino, right?

How could you do ballet while trying to commit suicide?

I thought a bottle of soju was the cheapest and happiest way to die.

Here.

What is this?

You can get around 50 million won if you sell this car.

Forget it, Hyungnim.

Sell it to make money for your restaurant's premium.

I know you'll turn things around.

Now that you don't have the investment, what will you do with Bella?

I don't know.

I'm truly penniless now.

Do you know what's worse?

I have to pay the penalty fee to Seo Ye Rin.

If I don't, Yeo Jeuk Do will bury me alive.

You know. He's scary when he gets angry.

Why don't you manipulate the contract and run away?

No. I want to verify what our members are capable of with my eyes.

Besides that...

Do you have a way to verify their capabilities?

I'll let them sue me.

- Hey. - Yes.

We're ready to film. Let's go.

- Where? - To compete in K-Land.

It's here.

I have an eye for selecting members.

You guys look beautiful and handsome.

[Contract Renewal Form]

[Contract Renewal Form]

You kids.

[Contract Renewal Form]

[Contract Renewal Form]

Come on!

Like this,

we've really become a team.

Unni.

Perform on stage with us.

I know you've memorized the choreography.

Let's perform together as an honorary member.

Really?

Will the other members allow it?

You're talented, so you'll do well.

I welcome you with my whole heart.

I agree because you gave me shoes.

I want to make a contract with you for the rest of my life.

If someone asks me what the idol recipe is, my answer would go like this:

An artist should discover their inner self and have the power to overcome oneself.

Let's work together forever.

Let's go.

[Group: STARSIDEA]

Are they favored to win?

That's what people say.

[Yeo Jeuk Do: It's 12, are you coming?]

Uncle.

When will I get back the contract money?

Right now.

The boys are ready.

How was it?

It's good.

Let's all huddle for the last time.

- Okay. - Let's do it this way.

Okay.

What are you doing? Are you doing a salsa dance?

They'll do well, right?

He came too early.

We should protect our members.

I'm not a good fighter.

Just suck it up!

I'll protect them with my life.

Let's go, Hyungnim!

Let's get it. We're Bella!

Let's go.

- We can do well. - I'm nervous.

By the way, shouldn't CEO Bae come and cheer for us?

Right.

I expect they'll be a new superstar.

Let's watch "SPECTRUM" by Bella.

Stop right there!

This is the moment Kelly will finally become a real singer.

How dare you bother it!

They're good.

Like!

Like!

Just go now!

Min Chul!

I'll put him in this car.
