(Assigning vocal parts for the single)

(Coach Chang Jin-young)

(And...)

We're all being shy.

It's nice to meet you.

We met you when we had a meeting, right?

He's considered the best vocal director.

His name is Han Won-jong.

Vocal director...

What does he do...?

More than just singing a song,

I help the singers to express in their own way, like their own story.

(Coach Han Won-jong will add art on top of skill)

(Fin.K.L, Super Junior, Brown Eyed Girls)

(He finds an idol-group's own color)

(Rain, Gummy, Park Hyo-shin, Lyn, Wheesung, Ock Joo-hyun, Baek Ji-young, etc.)

(The person responsible for bringing out the emotions and stories)

( of the best vocalists in Korea)

(Han Won-jong, Hanyang Univ. Music Professor)

Before a song is released,

I'll be going over the very last stage in the recording studio.

So you'll be directing our singing when we actually record in studio?

Yes.

FYI, he was my vocal director when I was in the field, too.

And he made me cry like crazy.

Why did you cry?

There was this one part, and he tried to bring out the best possible performance.

He repeats until it's achieved.

It's not that you cry often normally?

Let's see if you cry this time then.

(Expect them to be bawling)

Now, let's try one person at a time.

I'm so nervous!

(Even the girl-group members are nervous)

I don't want to go first.

(A division of labor in a girl-group, or a competition)

We're being assigned with our own vocal parts?

(Matching a member to her perfect part)

(Based on how the parts are assigned)

(The center position in their dance formation changes)

(The main person for the camera to zoom in also changes)

(But the parts are limited)

(It naturally becomes a competition)

(One who wants a part)

(Show your skill)

(The war over their parts begins now!)

My throat's not in the best condition.

So I'll just go first.

I'll try it.

I practiced constantly whenever I had a break.

When I'd greet the audience on stage,

when I go to the theater,

on a bus,

on a train,

while I exercised...

I'm sure everyone around me got sick of it already.

(Coach Serious)

(She spent a whole week singing)

(Will Ye-won's desperate effort...)

(Pay off in the end?)

(Nervous)

(Counting beat)

(The coaches are watching)

(And one of them is also nervous, like a mother who raised them)

(The sisters cheer her on by singing backup)

(Enunciating clearly)

(Counting the beat with her hand)

(She carries on a good rhythm)

(She's not timid about singing at all, unlike before!)

(On beat with her accurate pronunciation)

(Seems to be going well...)

(Misses the lyrics)

(Ah...)

(Relax, Ye-won!)

(Part C with the highest notes to hit)

(First the words, not now the melody...)

(She was too nervous)

(Taken aback)

(Words, melody, and now the beat...)

(I could've done better...)

(Ye-won's turn ends)

(What did the coaches think?)

(I practiced so much, and I messed up like a fool!)

Even if you mess up... For example, let's say you're playing the piano.

Let's say you made a mistake.

But if you come off confident, it doesn't seem like you messed up.

It's even worse with singing.

You have to be even more confident.

No one would want to hear you sing if you're not even confident in yourself.

It's not a song that people just sit and listen to.

It's music for people to see.

So you have to believe in yourself.

"I'm the most beautiful person in the world!"

"I'm the best!"

By the way...

She came to me for additional private lessons

and she practiced a lot.

I think she wasn't at her best condition today.

I feel really bad for the coach.

I wanted to find confidence in myself.

I practiced singing whenever I had a break.

But it was hard on my throat.

(Hugs)

(Leader Gong embraces the first member that sang)

(And here...)

(She needs some attention too)

Jin-kyeong's hands got really cold. Shall we hear her first?

No, Sook...

No? OK.

(The second one to go!)

(Number one from an audition TV show!)

(Totally focused)

(Her eyes change as the song starts!)

(She looks really lonely somehow)

(Carrying on all the worries of the world)

(The high notes are about to come!)

One second.

(Coach Chang Jin-young stops the music)

(What happened?)

Somi.

Can we do it the way we practiced? Instead of using falsetto?

You can do it.

(Somi tries again)

(Worried)

(Somi may blame the coach)

(But she can't always hide behind her falsetto)

(That's it!)

Scream it out!

(Goes head-on for the high part)

(But she forgets the words whenever she hits the high notes)

(Shakes his head)

(Back to using falsetto)

(She tries her best)

(Her fear of hitting the high notes is the biggest hurdle)

(She gave it all, even her soul)

(She might faint if she sang two songs)

There were specific parts that we practiced on purpose.

But they didn't work again.

I wish it was better.

I think you need more practice.

You can't just keep singing in falsetto.

You're not able to scream out when you should, but you constantly suppress it.

So your voice doesn't come out so pretty.

Just like how a person can go through joy and sadness,

you should be able to sing with confidence when it's required.

But you keep holding back.

(Teary-eyed)

You should be able to do this with no problem.

I wasn't trying to make you cry, Somi.

I was helping you to do better.

Don't cry, Somi!

We're in our 30s and we're scared. I'm sure she's so scared!

(Those in their 40s are also in fear)

I practiced last night, too.

(She's sad that she wasn't able to show her best)

She was sending me voice messages late into the night, to early morning.

She called and asked questions, too.

She was good yesterday. I'm just as sad, but...

I do feel like I'm singing with the members.

I felt like I was being tested with them.

When what I pointed out for them weren't fixed, and they were pointed out again,

I felt like I was being pointed out.

I'm usually never scared, even when I'm on stage.

I really practiced a lot!

(Even in her busy schedule)

(She spent a whole week practicing every chance she got)

(Regardless of location, or her hairstyle)

(They seem like her makeup artists, but they're singing along...)

(Excitement explosion)

When do we actually do her makeup?

(This is how addictive this song is...)

(I'm parched)

(Me too)

You're not even singing yet, why do you keep drinking water?

(The queen of trot takes her turn)

(She makes it happen every time!)

(Amazing!)

(As an experienced singer, she finds her own pace)

(She's definitely good, right?)

(She's relaxed enough to dance)

(Full of her trot vibe)

(Shakes head)

(She's working hard at it)

(Wow, she's good!)

(She makes it into a full-on trot song)

That part was a bit too much.

She's great!

She's definitely a professional!

(But she's not totally satisfied)

Do you remember what we went over in our lesson?

If you sang like this, it'll make the whole group seem much older.

I think there's a lot we have to work on.

Jin-kyeong, you wanna go on?

- Her hands are getting so cold! - It's like she's dying.

Can she just go on first?

Have some water.

Chae-young is dying, too.

Yes, I am. I'm so nervous!

(A blank stare)

(She looks like she forgot her own name, let alone the words to the song)

Her lips are pale.

(She takes on the challenge though she is nervous)

What part would you like to sing?

There was a part that I wanted before.

But now...

(Even the coaches are laughing)

(Not the proper situation...)

We met up often recently.

But I've never seen you like this.

You usually say, "This isn't hard at all!"

I don't feel like this is that difficult of a song.

I don't think this will be so hard.

(She was always the confident one)

But today...

I'm really scared suddenly.

I think singing should be done with joy.

(But why am I scared more and more that I sing?)

She's dressed so properly today, too.

That's my favorite style of dressing for a guy.

(A true gentleman)

(The song begins though she is extremely nervous)

(On beat like a wild horse!)

(It's a torture to hold back laughter)

(A new kind of shock for him)

(Only one who's serious)

(It's even more sad that she's so serious!)

(She was just crying but now she's laughing)

(This one's crying)

(She keeps her seriousness all the way through)

(She even messes up the lyrics)

(Part C, the highest part everyone's scared of)

(She presses on like a bulldozer)

(Her rhythm stabilizes as she eases up)

(It's a total mess)

(At least say the right words...)

(She composes herself and goes on to the second verse)

(Sing it, Jin-kyeong!)

(She lets herself go and screams the high notes)

(All the listeners can feel it)

(This is Jin-kyeong's very best)

("I think I've finally met myself")

(Started with laughter, but ended up moving the hearts of the audience)

You must've practiced so much!

More than anything...

Other than the mistake you made early on because you were nervous,

your rhythm and pitch were great as the song went on.

It totally shows how much you've practiced.

It was very good! Very energetic.

You fit the song very well, unexpectedly.

You've gotten so much better, especially your sense of rhythm.

I was surprised at how powerful you started the song.

I didn't think you'd last more than the first 8 measures.

(Maybe she didn't have to be so nervous)

How much did you practice?

Practice?

(The first day they received the song)

Jin-kyeong, can you practice in your own car?

There's no one else around!

(She got more audience)

This is an unexpected side of you.

You already memorized, we just got it a few hours ago!

(Where are they going?)

(Ye-won's movie premier)

(UNNIES came to show support for Ye-won)

(We're a brand new girl-group, UNNIES!)

(After their fun photo time)

(The theater before the showing)

(We practice even when we play)

Try the first part.

(She had only practiced the rap part)

(The song transformed into something else)

I think you practiced too much rap.

(So she moves on to the singing part)

(She even took separate private lessons)

(Whenever, wherever)

(She dedicated the whole week to this song)

I need a break.

Are you done?

You sang it so many times! (Jin-kyeong's mom, tortured)

You said I was good earlier!

I didn't sing it that many times.

You throat must be hurting.

(Worried)

I hope you do well and they compliment you.

Did you have a part in mind?

I originally wanted to do the C part.

But it's just way too high.

(Last week)

(She failed even before the interlude)

(Even with private lessons)

(It's not so easy)

(But she didn't give up, and practiced everyday)

(And improved by leaps and bounds!)

(Now for an objective evaluation)

(Her son's response awaits)

Mom, look here!

(Was it this?)

(How was Mommy?)

Good, good!

(Made her feel good)

Should I try it again?

Wait, but!

I didn't bring my name tag!

(He tries to change the subject)

(But failed...)

Stop it.

- Mom? - Just one more time.

Mom!

(Let's calm down for a second)

(Her way of counting the beat)

(Nervous)

(Good!)

(She's encouraged to sing louder)

(She's gotten more relaxed over the past month)

(Keeping her smile)

(With her perfect English pronunciation)

She sounds different!

(I know!)

(Now it's her dream part, Part C!)

(Working hard)

(Good!)

(Doing her best until the end)

(But she made a mistake in Part C)

My legs are shaking!

(Will they say she remained the same?)

(Or that she got better?)

This is yours, right? Coaches, look at how she practiced!

(Her week's worth of effort is shown on the lyrics sheet)

I can hear and see how much she practiced, even without seeing her paper.

Oh, really?

I thought it was great.

Luckily, there are parts that fit you well.

(Laughing in sadness)

But the song's just too high for you overall.

(Sook's turn!)

I'd sing it all day in the car.

And my voice wouldn't come out after the first day.

I went to the doctor's.

Today's the third day since I visited a doctor,

but my voice is fully back yet.

(Am I doing well?)

(You're great!)

(My throat!)

(She completes the song despite her bad condition)

- You got nervous in the middle! - Why am I so nervous?

We'll divide up the parts and you can be more strategic and efficient then.

So you won't need to sing the whole song like this.

But from this process...

I feel like I'm receiving a great energy.

From all of you.

(Leader Gong, our most trusted member)

Stop it!

It's too much pressure!

I don't feel so nervous about her.

I feel so pressured!

Time to enjoy the show!

Let's enjoy this performance.

(Even as a former member of one of the best girl-groups)

(Her heart is thumping?)

It's a new challenge for me, honestly.

Hitting the high note is a challenge.

I always took on low to mid parts before.

(During her 2NE1 days)

(Minzy was in charge of low to mid parts)

And the high note doesn't just come once.

It just keeps coming in this song.

It's definitely not an easy song for me.

(Can she hit those high notes?)

(Going into the first high notes section)

(Pass!)

(Minzy strength shines even more at the rap part)

(Freely enjoying the groove)

(Like ears being cleansed)

(With her own flow)

(She gives a new life to the song)

(Going into the second high notes section)

(No need to worry about Minzy!)

I feel at ease.

(Continuous high notes)

(They're no problem for her)

(She finishes the song without a hitch)

(That's our leader, Minzy!)

I feel so relieved.

(But it wasn't so easy for her)

At least we hear the same way, right?

That was really good.

"At least we hear the same way"?

She's so experienced and it feels like she knows what's up.

So that was good but...

I wish some things were done differently.

We'll go through those things as we work together.

It's too difficult of a song for a person to sing all the way through.

But everyone at least finishes singing the whole song.

I'm very proud of you guys.

I really enjoyed this time.

I saw a great potential.

By the way...

I wrote some rap lines.

(Shy)

- Did someone tell you to? - No.

But I wanted to rap!

I want to rap!

I enjoy listening to rap.

I really want to rap!

I want to try it!

I really want to.

If I don't utilize this chance from UNNIES,

I may never get to try it.

I really want to try rap.

(I'm ready!)

(Time to change determination to actuality)

(Wow!)

I like the last part.

(She made her attempt without any basic training in rap)

It was pretty serious all the way through but in the end...

I wanted to bring up the mood in the end.

(Sook takes a look)

(The process of making this rap part on her own)

(She went to meet Kisum to learn how to rap)

(Despite her busy schedule)

(Jin-young tried writing her own rap lyrics)

"Hooray!"

No, don't do that!

The lyrics overall are very good in meaning.

But...

I think we can tighten up the rhyme and other things.

- Rhyme? - Yes.

It's a bit awkward to call it a rap part.

The rhyme feel a little forced.

And it feels unnatural, like you're making it fit into rhythm.

I don't think we can put it in the album.

But I think it'll be fine to do it live once in a while.

If it's not on the album then it doesn't matter.

But I think that encouraged everyone.

(Miran had made her attempt at rap in season 1)

(He enjoyed it)

(Even gave her a hug after)

(But the actual rap part was given to her instead)

(I really wanted to try it)

I think we need to have a discussion about music on our own.

They didn't feel like celebrities at all.

They were even more nervous than just some people off the street.

They really want good parts.

Most of them want Part C, the chorus.

Are there parts set for the dance routine?

I think we have to consider that too.

(Coach Kyu-sang & Hwa-young on the phone)

I was hoping Chae-young and Ye-won to do the hook part.

But it'll make it seem like three people are singing at that part.

(The coaches are divided in their opinions)

I thought I was going to die!

(Plop)

I was so stressed out about this!

Somi was so cute when she was crying!

I never realize how young you are normally, when it's just us hanging out.

But when you cry, I finally realize, "Oh, she's only 17 years old!"

I went through that a lot, we'd practice so much and go through monthly check-ups.

Those monthly check-ups are always done in front of the CEO.

I always cried when I did worse than I could.

What are the coaches doing? Still in meeting?

It's a very delicate work!

(Serious discussion continuing for 20 minutes)

Can you see if I'm doing this right?

(After singing, worrying about dancing. After dancing, worrying about singing)

(They all get up and practice)

(She's gotten much better)

(Two hours pass!)

They're back!

(Nervous)

We divided up the parts.

We're ready.

We took in under consideration the words, singing, and the dance.

We thought much about what part will fit whom the best.

What you want may be different from what you're good at.

So for the first part...

(The first impression of the song)

(Who will kick off the first part?)

That's...

Somi will start the song off.

(She wanted the part that mentions G-Dragon)

Her voice sounds very bouncy.

I think Somi will bring a youthful vibe to the song.

And who'll be singing the next part?

Jin-kyeong...?

Minzy?

- Sook? - Yes!

I get to be on the first verse finally?

(Sook enters verse one)

I'll help you sing so you can get on the first verse.

(Due to great coaching)

(Her hidden, clear voice comes out!)

(Dazed)

My voice can be heard even in the song preview!

I'm so moved.

Then...

For the "Please please please" part...

Minzy can do it.

(She gets to show off her vocal skill and be up front during their dance)

Everyone will do Part B together.

But Jin-kyeong will do the last section of that part.

(Everyone complimented her performance for this part)

(The perfect match for her)

(It must be fate)

(Now for the chorus!)

Jin-young will do the first two lines of chorus.

Somi will do the part after that.

Minzy will then do the last part.

(The vocal Avengers will take care of it)

(And everyone's dream part...)

The last line...

Who gets to do it?

We haven't decided yet.

I just want to do this one line.

- "I've finally met my water." - I want it too!

I was told that I need water in my fortunes.

(Please give me that part)

We were in a huge discussion over this, with the dance coaches included.

But we decided to do a separate audition for it.

(Audition to show their different colors of water!)

I'll try it.

(The youngest sister, Somi)

(Cute!)

(The leader, Minzy)

(With heart)

I go after these two?

(Ye-won needs water in her life)

(Can't lose without a fight!)

(Chae-young's turn)

I'm sorry about that.

(The queen of music for the older crowd)

(It feels like a different genre)

It's not the same water we're talking about.

(The comedian, Sook!)

(The proper look)

Jin-kyeong!

(A new dance star, the Kimchi CEO)

(Difficult to even describe how strange this is)

For the "I think I've met my water" part...

Goes to Chae-young.

(Chae-young!)

(I wanted it!)

For the last part, I think we need more than music to deliver.

We need someone to deliver an emotion in front of a camera.

I think Chae-young will bring it out the most.

She can put a clear period mark there.

I thought the visual part is important for that section.

(Now going on to the second verse)

Minzy will do the first line.

Sook will do the part after.

Ye-won can do the part after that.

We haven't decided on who'll do the rap part.

(I even made my own rap!)

The last chorus part...

Ye-won will start it off.

(Anyone in mind for this part?) Ye-won!

She might feel pressured.

But I hope she can overcome it.

For the next line in chorus...

Jin-kyeong can do it.

I'm very thankful and satisfied that I get to sing a melodic part.

Jin-young will do the very last part of the verse.

Then everyone will sing the next line together.

There are a few difficult parts.

We can get over those hurdles together.

I'll do my best.

(Now it's a melee!)

(Coach Serious' private studio, after that day...)

(Ms. Duck enters)

(She's so good at this, oddly)

(Late into the night)

Ye-won is practicing late into the night.

(From basic vocal practice)

(To studying anatomy)

(Taming my own part in every way possible)

(From sounding like a ghost)

(To confident and strong singing)

(Hey, I'm not so bad!)

(They're perfect when practicing with the coach!)

(Coach Serious is more excited)

(Ye-won comes back alive)

I hope I can just perform this well.

(A gift from the Korean Beethoven for UNNIES!)

Wow!

(This is all for us?)

(Their special speakers arrive)

They look like some modern art pieces!

They're our old stuff, right?

(For the members who liked his speaker-turned-cello)

I'll get you one each.

Bring your old, favorite things.

(Very unique speakers just for UNNIES)

This one's mine!

(Music comes out from her purse!)

(Excitement on the rise)

(Amazing)

(The best gift for a girl-group member)

(It's a picnic!)

(I want to try it on)

It fits you well, Chae-young!

Somi, let's go!

(Can't stop dancing once you hold it)

(Me too! Me too!)

(My turn now!)

(Explosion of excitement)

Delivery!

(Music changes at the right spot)

I can't find the right rhythm.

(It's coming!)

(Here I go...!)

It doesn't work with my dance!

(Checking their parts)

(Everyone sings the part they've been practicing)

(Making sure everyone's OK before going into recording)

(Nods)

(A clean finish)

(Looks for approval)

First of all...

I wish everyone had the confidence Jin-young carries.

- Jin-kyeong? - No, Jin-young.

(I was happy for a second...)

I was working with a new, young singer once.

And I liked the shoes she was wearing.

So I told the young girl, "Nice shoes!"

I expected her to just say thank you, but she went,

"They are, right?"

She did that while sitting down.

That's the type of feeling we need, some confidence.

Is that what I feel like when I sing?

Oh, thank you!

(That's it!)

Somi, Somi?

This part...

Yes.

We need to resolve this, right?

What's wrong with that part?

(She sings falsetto when she's not so confident)

- But we need to do this live... - She can do it.

We don't need to lower the key?

We gotta make it happen.

My part isn't high at all.

But there's a part I spin around while singing.

It makes my voice crack.

A man's voice comes out at that part.

Is there something I can do?

You were an idol-group member!

You have some skill to address that?

I have the skill, yes, but...

But I can't show you with words.

Oh, then show us!

What?

(Whenever you feel like something bad is about to happen...)

(It's already too late)

Coach Serious! Coach Serious!

(Coach Serious gets up from his seat)

What's the move?

(What, this?)

One more time!

(The seven pupils never leave him alone)

Do you still dance?

No, I don't.

I heard you dance better than you sing!

We want to see you dance!

Show us! Show us!

I can play music for you!

Is it fun to tease me?

No, it's not like that!

We respect you so much, Coach Serious!

It's because I like you.

I was in a dance group but I was the vocalist of the group.

Other members danced.

I'd just follow the routine.

OK, fine.

You can show us now.

Play your own song!

No, not that!

That was years ago!

(Let's just do a vocal lesson)

I just really want to learn how to dance and sing at the same time.

You can do it.

(Ever-so-serious, Coach Serious)

(He had performed as an idol-group member 15 years ago)

I don't remember the moves so well.

(Going down memory lane...)

(Coach Serious' brightest moments)

(He's still serious with his glasses and turtleneck)

(Do I remember it still?)

(Powerful and serious)

(Taken aback by his dance moves)

(The camera loses its focus)

How embarrassing!

(What have I done?)

(The seven disciples go wild)

(What a heartthrob! Never seen this this side of him!)

He danced for a long time!

So, you can sing and dance at the same time.

Your voice didn't shake at all even with all that dancing!

Yes, you can sing and dance together.

I thought you'd stop after a bit.

His lips are turning blue.

It's quite addictive, I want to see it again!

(She's already playing it)

(Please don't...)

(Your fans from 15 years ago are watching!)

(Get on up!)

A little more!

(Sigh...)

That was it!

(Just keep going!)

OK, OK.

Just once more!

(Like piranhas that never stop)

- You look great dancing! - You're so good!

Please stop!

Wait a second!

What did you tell Somi earlier?

You need to show confidence!

(Be confident! You can do it!)

You can do it!

(We hold on to your precious teaching)

You can do it too!

OK, fine.

(The great teacher decides to go on for the third time)

Yes, there.

(We believe in you, Coach Serious!)

(He might break his joints and the camera)

(Where does he go?)

(Let's follow him!)

(The seven disciples have been touched by his dedication)

(Sigh...)

(Their passion doesn't subside so easily)

(His soul has left the body)

(Laughter comes out 100% whenever they think about it)

That was so funny!

Coach Serious is so cool!

Of course we're smitten by him!

(A true teacher... Wipe away your tears)

I had no idea he'd do it so seriously!

(Seriously looking back at his life)

Let's stop now.

I think he'll get mad if we went any further.

I do feel like it's possible for us, now that we've seen your performance.

We'll make sure to work hard!

We'll dance and sing like you, in the original key!

(Fight on...)

Do we have a date for recording set?

It'll be soon.

Soon?

(Pressure)

I'll be there to help you while you record.

Things can get pretty sensitive.

You may even get yelled at.

Even after dividing up the parts, sometimes they don't feel right.

If the parts seem lacking, we may change the parts.

- As we record? - Yes.

It happens all the time.

It's needed to bring out the best quality performance.

If our singing parts change, don't our dance positions and moves change too?

Yes, that happens.

(Oh my...)

Just putting in a great amount of effort isn't good enough to put out an album.

Just working hard is meaningless.

In the end, we have to do it well.

(Ye-won feels very pressured)

(We can do it!)

Coach Serious felt like our dad earlier.

"You can do it, you can!"

That's how he was!

I see that it wasn't just for me.

The coach and I are over!

When did you guys start?

Just me, I started on my own.

She's upset.

Coach, you lost a girl.

(The 17-year-old's imagination kicks in again)

(What...)

She said it's over.

(She's been watching too much TV)

(I'll take my revenge!)

(Didn't quite catch it)

I'll make sure their weak points are covered.

(Never mind...)

I believe they'll do well.

I'll do my best.

I have homework for you.

We'll be having a meeting with the stylists about our theme.

I want everyone to come up with a style for yourself to match the song.

(Stage costumes, hair, and makeup)

(Perfect the performance by adding on to the song and the dance)

(How will the members imagine)

(How they'll look on stage?)

(A few days later)

(The fragrance of spring)

(In this cafe)

(Enjoying the warm sun and relaxation)

(Actress Hong)

(But the homework assignment is due soon!)

Someone I know is considered a muse for the girl-groups.

I'm going to pay her a visit tomorrow.

She's good at what she does?

Of course!

- The best! - Who is it?

Uhm!

(You'll see her in a bit)

(This veteran celebrity awaits her in a heart of a fan)

(She approaches in her denim)

(So excited!)

(Girl-groups' muse, Uhm Jung-hwa!)

(The sexiest diva of this generation!)

(Unique hair, makeup, and costume)

(Flashy and shocking stage performances)

(Transcending generations and genres)

(What will she recommend for Jin-kyeong?)

You look great!

Wow, I haven't seen these in forever!

They don't even fit me anymore.

I haven't seen you in those in ages!

Me too!

(A popular item 18 years ago)

It was really hard to perform with these, I couldn't hear!

I couldn't hear even if someone called my name.

(Those were the days...)

Thanks for making time for me, I know you're busy.

It's great that I get to see you like this.

Our song is done.

Now we have to find the matching costume, hair, and makeup.

A visual theme that matches the song?

And you're the muse of every girl-group in this country!

The legend of K-Pop!

(We need your help!)

We're all working very hard for this.

The song came out so well, too.

I want to hear it.

Can you help us?

You remember your disco phase?

Flashy purple lipstick, glasses...

Did you plan all those things?

Or did your stylist come up with the idea?

I come up with an idea when we determine the right concept for the song.

That was amazing!

I was always curious about who your stylist was!

(Found her!)

Check out the song first.

I like it!

(Ideas are popping up in her mind)

The song's fantastic!

I do all kinds of stuff on stage.

Sook and I are like doing circus up on stage.

Sook does this, and I'm like this under her.

We go all out for this dance routine.

That's this part.

(Let me show you)

She said she applied my Parisian dance.

(Jin-kyeong's "Squid Dance")

(A difficult domino dance)

You'll need a lot of hot and bright colors everywhere.

Pink, blue...

Really bright hot pink, something that catches everyone's attention.

You're amazing.

(Vivid colors meet UNNIES)

(But my hair is...)

Don't I look like a government employee with this hair?

Like working in the county office.

Wear a wig!

I like wearing wigs on stage.

Me too!

What kind of a wig should I put on?

Wear a wig before bringing something that changes.

Maybe hide something sparkly in the wig...

Then I take off the wig on stage?

(That's so my style!)

Just take off my wig on stage?

I really love the song.

I think it gives a great message, too.

I like the message the song gives.

I think many people who might be having a hard time in their lives

can feel encouraged with this song.

I think the finale of the performance needs to be really exciting.

In your facial expressions, too.

It'll be fun!

Thank you, Jung-hwa!

I gotta go.

(A dance to show her gratitude)

(Thank you!)

(Why are you doing this to me?)

(Chaos)

(Culture shock)

(UNNIES stage costume meeting)

(UNNIES costume meeting day)

Did you all prepare what we'll wear on stage?

- Yes, I did. - Me too.

It feels great if your idea gets picked.

Chae-young, your hair is so cute!

(Isn�??t it?)

You're already trying out your plan?

Yes, I am.

Everyone brought something?

Nothing much, I just want to come off natural...

(She's hiding something underneath her coat)

I'm sure you were busy studying, Somi.

I slept at 3 in the morning.

(She works so hard!)

I'll make sure you continue to study, no matter how much homework we get!

(Study... Study...)

Minzy looks so pretty today!

(Shy)

Are you dating?

No, OK?

You can date, Minzy.

But you have to tell us first.

Yes, of course I will.

I'll be so disappointed if we find out through tabloids or something.

Minzy looks guilty for some reason.

- Eyes darting... - Eyes darting?

(They're always kept under the protection of their older sisters)

Did you meet anyone for this?

Did you, Sook?

I did meet someone and got some advice.

(Curious)

Someone who raised all the idol-group members.

I met up with Park So-hyun, the expert of the idols.

(Come to me if you have any questions about idol-groups!)

She even knows whose single comes out at what time!

She knows what kind of a theme each group will be doing.

She knows it for every girl-group and boy-group.

And she told me what our theme should be.

She said that you and I should just be in the back.

(Why did she say it like that?)

(No, you're our pillars!)

Jin-kyeong, why are you wearing the cloth that goes under a phone?

(A retro-look)

Did you wear that today as a part of our theme?

(That's our attire?)

Don't worry, she's always got shocking ideas.

That was the case for season 1, too.

Did you see her torn leggings?

It's our one and only chance! Let's give it all we got!

That's true!

Does it feel like your blood is boiling up again?

(Passionate in preparing their style theme)

But who'll be in charge of our style?

Jeong Bo-yoon?

She helped us out in season 1.

We'll invite her in and have her introduce herself.

Please come in!

(In high expectations)

(All rise)

It's you!

You know her?

I go to sauna with her!

(They share a bathtub together?)

What are you doing here?

I was asked to be charge of UNNIES' fashion style.

(Choi Hee-sun, Sook's sauna buddy)

(The suspenders fashion for KARA's "Mister")

(Girl's Day's "Something", based on Park Ji-yoon's "Adult Ceremony")

(A.O.A's "Like a Cat," "Heart Attack," "Good Luck")

(She's also responsible for Twice's fashion style)

(The top stylist, Choi Hee-sun!)

(She won the stylist award in 2016)

(And she's now the stylist for UNNIES!)

What do you consider the most important when you come up with a design?

For a girl-group, looking slim and pretty is the most important.

That'd be helpful, I'm sure.

So how the clothes fit is very important.

(In agreement)

How about people that make their shirts open up a little no matter what they wear?

Sorry?

You know, the ones that make any shirt open up when they put them on...

They always have to use safety pins.

That's actually a good thing, and you want to accentuate it.

(I'll protect you)

(She'll bring it out even more!)

Jin-kyeong's about 6 feet tall, can we make her look shorter?

(Can clothes make a person look shorter?)

(Is it possible?)

I'll work on it.

What kind of people meet to discuss fashion themes?

Usually the CEOs of their management companies.

The planning committee of the company, marketing department...

Photographers, and music video directors.

Dance coaches are always a part of the discussion too.

How about the members themselves? Do we get to be in the discussion?

That depends on the management company.

What was it like for you, Minzy?

We were a group with a very strong character, so they asked us a lot about

what we wanted to wear.

How about Somi?

They asked us for our opinions too.

Then we should be able to voice our opinions too!

I'm 43 this year, I want to say what I like!

(We'll reflect your opinion, Sook...)

(Before UNNIES style meeting)

(Producer Kim Hyeong-seok joins!)

It's been a while!

(Dance coaches Kyu-sang and Hwa-young join in)

(They had known each other for a long time)

So all of you know each other already?

(All the experts of the field already know each other)

We've already prepared everything.

Everyone looks so flashy today.

You stand out a little more than others.

(A cute girl-group wannabe at 41 years of age)

I can't take my eyes off of her!

(Shocking)

This is supposed to be Jeong-yeon's hair from Twice?

That's just wrong.

She looks like that cartoon character!

And the girl from "Welcome to Dongmakgol"!

(She looks like many different characters)

Let me go on first.

(Looking forward to it)

I met up with Uhm Jeong-hwa to discuss our style.

She said a woman who was shy and timid

gets positive energy from UNNIES should be our theme.

And she's able to show herself to the world proudly.

So shiny and sparkly is the point.

I tried it on today.

(Surprise!)

(Today, Hong Jin-kyeong...)

(Put on a layer of confidence)

(Like a colorful fish!)

So I prepared a shiny and sparkly attire.

Now with these pants to match the song!

(Confused, terrified, shocked)

(The fashion queen, worth taking a look at)

(A visual shock)

(Even the professionals cannot look at her)

(I want to get crazy!)

That's pretty amazing.

Put something on! Hurry!

(Picking up her pants)

You have a great body!

(Looks like she's shooting "Avatar")

Did you make it yourself?

Yes, I made the whole attire.

(Respect!)

It's blinding me!

I was thinking maybe we can wear different colored stockings.

So we can come off colorful and flashy.

Red for Sook!

We'll first hide our stockings.

And we take them off at a certain point for a visual effect.

Bringing out our hidden selves!

I think you should hide.

There's a difficult move we have to do in the routine.

Oh, that's no problem.

We can do a split in these.

We have to put our arms to our bodies for our dance.

This might make scratch marks on our arms.

(Scratch marks?)

Try it and see if the shirt scratches your arms.

(A shiny squid comes on stage)

I think the body line can look good in it.

Arms to your body.

It feels great, scratching where it itches.

It feels very refreshing!

- Not bad! - Her body line is accentuated.

(Full of confidence)

(I like it!)

It's got a vibe to it.

Jin-kyeong, you're the best!

Can you do the "Right" part?

This part.

Are you making fun of me?

No, I want to take an objective look.

Of course it'll go well with it!

(So cute!)

(That's totally my style)

(No need for any lighting on stage)

(Handmade sparkly bodysuit with stockings in vivid colors)

(What did the coaches think?)

It's very unique and it fits her well.

But that wouldn't work for all the members.

Imagine Chae-young in that suit!

(Even the Barbie doll can't pull it off)

The song does talk about being confident in expressing oneself.

I think it's perfectly fitting in that sense.

How about you, Sook?

I always carry around a sketchbook, ever since season 1.

(She had shocked everyone before)

(Sook's scrapbook full of ideas)

I'm sure you ripped out about 20 pages at a hair salon.

I slimmed it down to 35 from my original plan.

(A summary of 35 fashion magazines)

(She's amazing)

(A hand-written presentation)

The hairstyle that I want the most is to have all the hair pulled back.

Tie back our hair to look clean.

Can you show us how you'd look?

That makes me look ugly though.

(Like this)

(Let's keep our bangs)

How about this? It's the year of the rooster.

(Let's fight!)

We can look like chicken fighters.

And we can even out our heights with this hair style.

(Good for the shorter members)

(This will make us tall!)

(If you don't like that...)

That's so pretty!

Jin-kyeong brought a short hair wig before.

And I thought it looked good.

So how about short hair for all, but in different colors?

(Not bad!)

That was my idea.

Next, our clothes for the music video.

(She prepared a lot!)

I prepared something that can take care of our hair style and our clothes together.

What will it be?

Every music video looks the same these days.

We have to different from the rest.

So I thought about painting our bodies.

(Oh no...)

(No need for human clothing)

They won't be able to tell us apart!

(Amazed at Sook's artistic sense)

They won't be able to tell who's who.

Coaches, you guys don't look so good.

I'm not sure about that idea...

(The philosophy behind the body painting)

It's to show that the out appearance means nothing.

It's about the beauty inside.

And we can end the music video as we wash our faces off.

Cleansing ourselves and being confident, right?

There have been some cases of using body painting.

But it was usually done for men.

It did move many people's hearts, and it was creative and artistic.

I thought it was a great idea for a music video.

And she prepared so much, fitting to be in a production company.

I want to introduce you to some people!

Oh, I'm quite busy as I am...

(Ye-won's turn for presentation)

I first drew the members.

Wow, they look good!

(Sisters Slam Dunk poster)

(She thought about each member)

(And looked in detail over and over)

Tada!

I tried matching everyone's personality to a color.

I think blue matches well with Sook, and she's wearing it now.

I love blue!

It feels very clear.

I think it fits you well.

And I thought of purple for Jin-kyeong.

I'm wearing purple right now, too!

You're wearing every color!

I picked yellow for myself.

Red for Chae-young.

Pink for Somi,

and green for Minzy.

For Jin-young, I thought orange fits her well.

(That sounds right!)

(She's refreshing like orange!)

So these are the colors I came up with for each member.

(The rest feel pressured to go on)

I thought about going retro for our costumes.

(Vintage power shoulder blouse)

It's what you like, isn't it?

We're used to putting our shoulders in to hide something.

That's the same for all of us, right? No?

(Her friends keep getting mentioned)

We should be more confident!

And having strong shoulders make me feel more confident and powerful.

You know this part in our dance?

I realize that we're using many hand gestures.

Maybe we can have ruffles on our arms to accentuate our hands.

(Like this!)

Maybe on our wrists.

(Ye-won's choice: Retro fashion that can accentuate the dance moves)

Her idea is the closest to what I thought of as I was writing the song.

One of the things that we consider the most important in stage costume is

to turn the weak points of our body to our strong points.

I think it's great that you thought of a way to do just that.

(Next is...)

Hello!

You look like a private investigator.

For our album jacket design...

I thought of a "swim" look.

(I like it!)

I wanted to come off confident.

And they can usually lengthen our legs with Photoshop.

I think we can try this for a photo shoot.

This is a little like Sook's idea.

(They have similar ideas)

(A vivid color suit, similar to Sook's idea)

It's a modern look for a girl-group.

You sound like a salesperson.

(Call us now!)

(Nearly sold out!)

(The customers are listening)

(Order now, and we'll throw in "the Love Batteries"!)

This design will fit Somi's age.

That's the feel I was going for.

We're all here with the same purpose.

We have members with various ages to fulfill our dreams.

So...

She's wearing it!

(Jin-young wore her dream)

(A school uniform look)

(With a rabbit doll to bring out her cuteness)

This can come off very cute.

(Jacket off)

This way, it feels more girly.

(Reminiscent of her high school days)

When will we ever wear school uniforms again?

The same goes for me too.

Other than Somi, we won't ever get to wear a school uniform.

I thought this will match our topic of achieving our dreams.

Can you do the squid dance?

It'll look great in this attire!

But that's wrong. Did you practice?

(This is not what I was going for...)

(The trainees can never relax)

I'll head back in now.

(Jin-young's choice: Combining various themes, and school uniforms)

I went for a kitsch look.

It reminds us of street fashion.

It mixes pop art and vintage patterns.

Our song is very bright and fun.

I thought using many different colors like this will match the song well.

I think this will help us look younger and cuter.

So I tried putting it on as a sample.

(They are just so full of passion)

We prepare so well!

Do it at once!

How about taking off the jacket as you do a wave?

(Will I be ale to...?)

(First the wave...)

(Then jacket off)

(Girly)

that's so cute!

(A true Barbie doll)

(That's not bad!)

With this hairstyle, too.

(What was that laugh?)

(Chae-young's laugh when she's feeling shy)

We'll put hair to either side.

But with a touch of punk style.

I think our makeup can be a little thick, too.

I tried it that way for myself today.

(She's a doll!)

Even my nails to finish off!

(Applause)

Chae-young's smiling, but you can tell she's so nervous.

Her hand was shaking like this!

I never get nervous but whenever I stand in front of you, I do.

(How cute!)

(Chae-young's choice: Cute kitsch look with bright pastel colors)

Everyone prepared so much for this.

Your makeup, hair, and your clothes all match so perfectly.

There's much confidence that's felt in the song.

I did have the kitsch look in mind.

(Same as me!)

(Chae-young's excited at her compliment)

She looks so pretty!

She feels like she's already in the waiting room at a live music show.

Somi, you prepared a PPT presentation too?

No one brought a sketchbook?

(Only person in agreement)

(Only the old school members prepared in an "analog" way)

I glued stuff on.

(The theme for UNNIES' costume style)

How about a healthy look?

It's summer soon, so we can go with denim.

I thought it'd look good if we went with a sporty look.

I thought it'll look cute for this part.

It may be too distracting if our costume is too sparkly.

(Just like her with all the sparkles!)

(Unintended target, Hong Jin-kyeong)

(Is it weird?)

(Somi's choice: Taking after the best of girl-groups, with sporty denim look)

You must be busy with school but you did great!

You're keeping us on our toes since you prepared so much.

(Leader Gong's presentation)

I think this will be like the final version of everything that was discussed.

As I heard about the assignment to choose our theme,

I thought about going back to the very beginning.

Producer Kim Hyeong-seok and Ye-won both mentioned "La La Land" as a motive.

So I took in a lot of inspiration from the movie.

I thought the confident walks shown in the movie fit UNNIES well.

It feels very bright.

It's pretty much everything that we just talked about.

"La La Land" has a 60s and 70s vibe.

I thought about the same feel for us.

(A comprehensive version of all of their ideas)

(Leader Gong's big picture!)

(Minzy's choice: All the ideas put together, "La La Land" theme)

I think we have our theme.

I think Minzy's idea will fit the song very well.

It'll also bring life to the dance routine.

(Putting their ideas together)

Black was the main color in the last season.

I think it should be more colorful this time.

I like all of their ideas.

I had many ideas.

I want to come off as bright as the song.

(From now, we'll show you!)

(UNNIES)

(An Egyptian rapper, MC Cairo)

(Learn how to rap)

(Trot swag, MC Hong You)

(Who will take on the rap part?)

(Necessity for every girl-group, watching their weight)

(What was that?)

(Goodbye, dieting)

(One meal a day)

(It's a food-fighter girl-group!)

(And early morning in the house...)

She must've practiced so much!

(Except for this part)

Chae-young and me!

You don't think I'm better than her?
