All language subtitles for Shooting Stars S01E12 - Rumors of Rumors of a Rumor (Awafim.tv)

Are you dating Eun Si Woo?

Is it true you're the reason she recently got divorced?

- Did she cheat with you?
- Can you explain?

(Breaking News, Gong Tae Sung and Eun Si Woo's Affair)

- A word please!
- Tell us please!

- Is it true?
- Comment please!

- Over here please!
- Is it true?

- Oh, my.
- Gosh!

Gong Tae Sung!

Tae Sung.

Are you okay?

Move.

Where are your work ethics?

A man passed out.

Put down that camera.

Why did you do it?

He shouldn't have smiled the way he did.

Kang Min Kyu, you...

What exactly did I do wrong?

In our country, is it a crime to hate a celebrity?

(Episode 12. Rumors of Rumors of a Rumor)

He's overworked and exhausted.

The tests they ran in the ER don't show any other issues.

Could it be a psychological issue?

Yes. I'd say that's highly likely.

Let's wait for him to wake up,

then we'll run more thorough tests.

Okay. Thank you.

Jung Yeol. Look after him for me.

I have to get back to the office.

Okay. I'll watch over him.

- Take care.
- Bye.

Drive safely.

(PR and Management)

Yes. We'll call you as soon as we have the facts.

Sorry, I can't say...

We're still trying to confirm ourselves.

- Yes. Bye.
- I'm so sorry.

Please wait.

- Ms. Oh.
- Okay.

(I have information on Gong Tae Sung's lover.)

My gosh.

He sent just a few paragraphs with no photo...

and it caused that ruckus?

Yes. One site posted about it...

and others joined in.

Was this email really from Kang Min Kyu?

The guy with the smile?

- Yes.
- My goodness.

- This is so scary.
- I got the chills.

How do things look?

People think positively of Gong, so most don't believe the rumor,

but the tide's turning.

We should release a statement.

So...

is Mr. Gong okay?

Yes.

He's overworked. Some rest is all he needs.

Let's sort this out.

(Press Release Regarding Gong Tae Sung's Affair)

(This is Starforce Entertainment and our statement is as follows.)

(The rumor about Eun Si Woo isn't true and we'll take action...)

(He will rest before returning to film "The World of Stars".)

(Daehan International Film Festival)

I'm not your mom.

Tae Sung. You're awake.

How long has it been?

One day? Two?

Three days?

- The shoot must've been canceled.
- Three hours.

Do you know how worried I was?

Where's Han Byeol?

She was here, but she just returned to the office.

Mr. Do.

The police are questioning Mr. Kang.

It's a serious issue, so things will move swiftly.

I'll head over right after my meeting.

Okay. Thank you.

Is Mr. Gong doing okay?

Yes. Thanks to you.

I was going to move,

but I guess it's a relief I'm his neighbor.

It is. Thank you.

Is everyone here?

What? What's wrong?

Oh, you've never seen me in a hanbok?

- No.
- What's that?

I left in the middle of my mom's 80th birthday party.

I was hoping to sing her a song.

Sorry.

The press release we sent out...

isn't enough to resolve the issue.

We just said vaguely that it's not true.

Suspicions are rising.

How can we clean it right up?

By saying that his relationship...

with Eun Si Woo isn't as her lover but as her son.

- But that's...
- Tae Sung will just hate that.

Yes.

What does his drama team say?

They want to see how things go.

His advertisement contracts too.

If things get worse, all the deals might fall through.

We'll have to consider the penalty for breach of contract, then.

It's not that big a deal if we can solve it with money.

Making sure Tae Sung's not hurt is more important.

I made lots of money to spend at times like this.

As long as he's not found legally liable,

none of his contracts will end...

with you having to pay out a penalty.

In this case, he didn't do anything illegal.

It's the media that's the problem.

I'll do my best.

Let's all do our best, then.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Tae Sung, are you okay?

I'm like a father figure to him.

I'm a director at his agency.

We met, didn't we? I'm this kid's...

head of PR.

I'm here out of concern.

Are we expecting anyone else?

Was it wrong of me to come back to Korea?

I want to tell the truth.

Please let me do that.

We need to see how this pans out first.

He won't like that, right?

But still.

I cannot damage his reputation in any way.

When we come to a decision, we will let you know.

It's our job to treasure and protect Tae Sung better than anyone.

So don't worry.

Please give us some time.

You must be patient...

for Tae Sung's sake.

Ji Hoon, can't I get discharged now?

No.

Didn't you listen to what the doctor said?

You need absolute rest. Lie back down.

By the way, I've been meaning to ask you.

What's up with your outfit? Are you in a costume?

My mother must be so upset.

He had to leave his mother's 80th birthday party.

Anyway, get some rest. Bye.

Okay. You should hurry.

- Take good care of him.
- Bye.

Well, I'll go and check the facility in the hospital.

- Okay. See you later.
- Okay.

I'll be back.

Han Byeol.

Look at me.

You must have been scared.

Yes. I was scared.

Are you sure you're okay?

Of course, I am.

Goodness.

It looks like my pretty girlfriend got scared.

(I said not to be fooled by a kind face. Didn't I?)

I got these text messages.

At first, I was so shocked and came outside in a daze.

The reporters flocked over to me.

And the camera flashes started to go off. Seriously.

It felt like I was trapped.

Kang Yu Sung.

You can't trust him now?

No.

I trust him.

I'm sure Yu Sung...

had his reasons.

Tae Sung. Are you all right?

What took you so long? I waited for you.

What?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

You'd better be!

Hey, Mr. Byun. I can see you.

If you checked the facility, come on in.

Okay.

The facility here is perfect.

- Is it good?
- Yes, it's pretty good.

Why did you really come back?

You rushed over here in surprise.

I have something to tell him.

Before it's too late.

Before it's too late?

I'm not telling you.

Bye.

(Eun Si Woo)

(Calling Eun Si Woo)

- Hey, Si Woo. Are you okay?
- What?

Do you want to cancel the appointment?

Did something happen again?

- Appointment?
- What? Did you forget?

We were going to have dinner later.

What are you talking about?

Goodness, seriously? You really must have forgotten.

You said you made a reservation at a restaurant too.

Where are you now?

Hey.

What was that call about?

It was a joke.

A joke?

Now of all times?

That doesn't make sense at all.

Gosh.

Fine.

There's no point keeping this from you.

It turns out...

I'm losing a lot of...

my memories.

You...

How could you smile while delivering news like that?

If I don't smile,

will it change anything?

Is that why you contacted Yu Sung behind my back and came to Korea?

You should have told me instead! Why did you do that?

You...

I knew you would make that face.

When I look at that face,

I might end up pitying myself.

I have...

a lot more money than you.

I've been getting treated in the best international hospital.

Then stick to the treatment. Why did you come back?

To apologize.

I failed him as a mother.

I left him all alone and lonely.

I want to do that...

before I forget those memories too.

How does it feel?

I'm not dreaming, right?

Of course, not.

I never thought this day would come.

Passengers.

Our plane is about to take off.

Hello?

I need your help,

Mom...

Mom.

I have to go.

Hey, are you crazy?

- I have to go.
- Ma'am.

We're taking off soon.

- Please take your seat.
- I'm sorry.

Si Woo, sit down.

Come on, sit.

Si Woo.

Sit down. I'm sorry.

You are...

you.

You do deserve pity. Don't you?

The police finished questioning Kang Min Kyu.

He admitted sending two emails to the reporters.

He will probably pay a fine.

I also looked into the nature of his employment at Starforce.

We don't have any evidence that it was ill-intentioned.

He will probably be dismissed from DS Actors.

That'll probably be it.

The punishment is too light.

I agree.

Right. As for Tae Sung Gets Worse, the anti-fan cafe,

he denied any knowledge.

As it's a member-only cafe, we'll have to find another way.

Okay. Thank you for working late to handle this.

(I think it's Eun Si Woo in the scandal photo!)

(This is the photo of Eun Si Woo at the department store.)

(They must be having an affair.)

(They can't deny it now.)

(Eun Si Woo also attended Tae Sung's first movie screening.)

(Their relationship is coming to light now.)

(You can't gaze like that unless you love him.)

(I got goosebumps. They are so shameless.)

(She's giving her lover a loving look.)

(She's happy to just look at his photo.)

(Gosh. She made it so obvious.)

(They are the worst.)

("Eun Si Woo Did Cheat! She Had Another Man in Her Life")

(You can hear how sad he is after the divorce.)

(This story was based on a true story. When I found out...)

(He went to his best friend and said "My wife had another man.")

(I think lying to one's spouse is deception.)

(I didn't know about this interview.)

(I'm so appalled that she cheated on him.)

Come on.

Ta-da.

Why don't you have some food?

(Ilmiri Braised Chicken)

I was so hungry right about now.

You're so considerate!

Shocker!

The braised chicken...

It melts in your mouth like cotton candy.

- It's really delicious.
- Thank you for bringing us food.

I feel much better now.

No problem. I know how hard you guys are working.

- Thank you.
- Enjoy.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

It's really good if you dip it in the sauce.

Are you still working?

No, I just finished and am on my way home.

Are you sure I don't need to cancel tomorrow's shoot?

I'm feeling fine.

You know I hate being a nuisance.

Goodness, you're something else.

Tell me if you're not feeling well. It's okay.

Okay.

You should go to bed if you want to shoot tomorrow.

Okay.

- At tomorrow's shoot...
- Yes, I'll see you there.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

Yes, come in.

(Gong Tae Sung)

("Top Star Gong Tae Sung in an Affair with Actress Eun Si Woo?")

("Gong Tae Sung's Affair with Eun Si Woo Started 7 Years Ago?")

("Will Gong Tae Sung Show up at His Shoot Today?")

("Who'll Take Responsibility for Gong Tae Sung's Baseless Rumors?")

(Gong Tae Sung is rumored to be having an affair with Eun Si Woo.)

(This rumor started with an anonymous email.)

(Cho Ki Ppeum)

As expected, you always say what's right,

Ms. Cho Ki Ppeum.

(Like)

(Gongvely, Gong Tae Sung, My boyfriend Tae Sung)

Is there proof that it's Eun Si Woo?

(The truth about their relationship is coming out.)

All sorts of actors came to that awards ceremony.

Then is he in multiple relationships?

Then a film festival must be like an animal kingdom.

(Eun Si Woo Looks at The Guy She's Having an Affair With)

That photo is meant to be looked at, so what's the problem?

Take down all speculations. I'll report you.

(Are you a part-timer for his agency?)

(My Big Star: I believe that it's not Tae Sung.)

(Many Drops Make Tae Sung: Me too.)

(Only Tae Sung: I hope Tae Sung doesn't get too hurt.)

(Tae Sung's Sunflower: Let's wait for the agency's statement.)

(Gong Tae Sung's the Best: Tae Sung has a shoot tomorrow. Is he okay?)

(Stop crying everyone!)

(Stop crying everyone! Let's believe in Tae Sung.)

I shouldn't cry. I have a shoot tomorrow.

("Gong Tae Sung in an Affair With Legendary Actress Eun Si Woo?")

("Gong Tae Sung's Flawlessness Ruined?")

You must be tired. Why did you come so early?

I came to see you before I went to work.

Really? Then take a good look. I'll do the same.

You're up early. How are you feeling?

Good. As you can see, I'm totally fine.

That's good.

I'm saying this just in case,

but don't worry about the articles. I'll resolve them soon.

I'm not worried. This isn't the first time.

I was even rumored to be dating my neighbor, Do Soo Hyuk, recently.

That's right. That was worse.

You're right.

It's not even true, so there's nothing to worry about.

I'm totally fine.

Of course you are.

Oh, my!

Tae Sung.

- Ms. Oh.
- Hey.

I didn't see anything! I'm still sleeping!

You just made eye contact with me.

No, I didn't. I sleep with my eyes open.

I'll get going. Good luck with your shoot.

You can do it!

Okay. Have fun at work. You can do it!

Byun Jung Yeol. We need to go to the shoot now.

Can you open your eyes?

Gosh. It's a refreshing morning, Tae Sung.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

- Hello, sir.
- Hey, Tae Sung.

Things are a bit hectic right now.

I'll call you. Okay?

- Okay.
- Right.

The shoot got canceled.

Yes, it seems so.

It's for the better. I was tired.

He's definitely having an affair. Right?

Did you see him just now? The look on his face gave me chills.

It must be true seeing as to how he didn't argue and just left.

What an inconvenience.

They'll probably change the male lead.

It's the staff that's going to suffer.

- Darn it.
- Darn.

How cute. Who is he?

My nephew.

He wanted to see the film festival, so I brought him with me.

I'm not your mom.

You're not my mom?

No, I'm not.

So don't call me "Mom" today. Okay?

The male lead of a romantic comedy is having an affair?

Can you believe it?

I'm at a loss for words.

Sir. How could you do this?

If you're thinking about firing Tae Sung,

you'll have to replace me too.

Why are you saying that? You're scaring me.

At the very least, the people that work with him...

should trust the actor. Not the words of strangers.

Of course we trust him.

- But the public opinion...
- Is the public opinion...

hundred percent true?

It'll just be a couple of days.

This situation will resolve itself.

To prevent anyone from suffering,

fill the schedule with my scenes for the time being.

I don't care if I have to work all night.

I'll do my best so that there are no setbacks with the broadcasts.

(Gong Tae Sung's affair with Eun Si Woo is true, )

(and he was dating that male lawyer at the same time.)

(The Truth About Gong Tae Sung Keeps Coming Out!)

What truth are you trying to reveal now?

(The Truth About Gong Tae Sung Keeps Coming Out!)

(We should've known when he went to Africa to volunteer for a year.)

(He wasn't volunteering but going to see his son.)

(No wonder. I had a bad feeling about it.)

(He acted so kind too. What a piece of garbage.)

No way. People actually believe this?

Who cares if they believe it or not?

Write an article about the chances of an Asian man...

- having an African child.
- Okay.

You. Check how old that kid is...

and write an article connecting the drama he was filming then.

As you know, don't make any conclusions.

- End the article with a question.
- Right.

Cho Ki Ppeum. You...

What about a speculation article on who the mom is?

What? Why?

A journalist should always fact-check.

How will you fact-check that?

What? Will Gong Tae Sung give you a paternity report?

If Gong Tae Sung is the dad, who's the mom?

Is it that hard to write about that?

This is...

the agency's stance.

How will you fact-check that?

Will Lee Yoon Woo...

send over a document saying they broke up?

The possibility that he was an accomplice.

Is it that hard to write about that?

Are you pleased?

What...

Why would I be pleased?

Our job is to tell people what they want to know.

Even if we won't write about it, others will.

Would you like it if people thought a kid you posed with...

while working for charity were yours?

Look at you.

That's why I don't work for a charity.

Cho Ki Ppeum.

You act like you're special.

Oh, right.

You're reluctant because your good friend works at Starforce?

Then get an exclusive interview with Gong Tae Sung.

Wait.

It might not be with Gong Tae Sung but I can do an exclusive interview.

Hello, Mr. Do.

I'm Cho Ki Ppeum with On Star Daily.

Can I interview you about the thoughtlessness...

of the media regarding Mr. Gong Tae Sung?

Yes.

If you're asking, I'm willing to talk.

(Speaker)

I'd like to know how Starforce will react...

to a media outlet that prints about a child...

Mr. Gong befriended in Africa...

being his son without checking the facts.

We'll take all possible legal action without mercy.

If he's rich, he'll pay a fine.

If he has time, he'll do time.

I already have to work overtime to drag down...

certain media outlets that write...

without fact-checking.

I will put all my displeasure into the complaint.

I see.

So if they don't want to rot in prison...

or lose all their hard-earned money,

they must check the facts before writing any article.

Yes, that's it.

I wish you all the best as you work overtime.

Thank you.

Now what?

Do I still write it up?

You got a very special exclusive interview.

Write about that, Ms. Cho the Great.

You're a warrior for justice.

I can't believe I hired you as a reporter.

I was daydreaming.

How could an African kid be his son?

People don't care about the truth.

They wanted to chew someone out...

and Tae Sung ended up as the target.

The people who praised him for being away for a year...

now call him a hypocrite.

What hypocrite works for a charity for a whole year?

Gosh...

We have...

just two good options.

To keep who his mom is as a secret forever,

or to reveal it.

Yes.

Either option will cause damage.

If we tell the truth, his top star image will be intact,

but him as a person will feel hurt.

What do you say as head of PR?

We should come clean.

What do you say...

as Oh Han Byeol?

Okay.

I'll talk to Tae Sung.

(Gong had an affair with Eun Si Woo...)

(and the lawyer at the same time.)

(You know what?)

(He's violent. He beats up his staff.)

(New stuff keeps surfacing)

(He went for a year for a reason. It was to see his son.)

(He's trash.)

(The kid looks like him.)

(I'm in shock.)

Help me, Mom.

If you were to do this,

why did you have me?

It wasn't my dream...

to become...

a mom.

Make me...

more famous than her.

Tae Sung.

Yu Sung.

Is all this because I didn't say who Eun Si Woo is to me?

Do I have to say she's my birth mom?

Is that...

my duty?

Why won't you answer?

Do you think I have to say that too?

I know it hurts,

but it looks like it.

You know it hurts?

You know it'll hurt me but I have to do it?

Listen carefully.

It won't just end with you going down.

All the hard work we put in so far...

will become nothing.

You're right.

I forgot about that.

I forgot.

In the end, you are...

just another manager.

Tae Sung.

Is this why you brought her back?

It's not like that. Hear me out.

Why?

So you could be her manager?

She denied me my whole life. Do you know that?

And now she'll use me to make a comeback?

- Well, great. She got it.
- Tae Sung.

What?

I told you everything I couldn't tell anyone else.

You know me better than anyone.

So how could you...

How could you do this to me?

- You must hear this.
- No.

I'm done listening.

Why not go and rest if the shoot's over?

Why are you here?

I have a lot to think about.

The set's a mess, isn't it?

Yes, a bit.

I'm worried about Tae Sung.

Jae Hyun can barely sleep.

He is okay, isn't he?

Don't worry. It'll get sorted out.

Our company protects its stars.

Especially if they did nothing wrong.

Good.

Do you remember the day I agreed to work with you?

Of course I do. So clearly.

That day,

you said you'd protect me to the end.

Now I think I know...

what you meant by that.

You don't have to worry in advance.

I'm good at protecting people.

Here.

Among all the offers for your follow-up project,

that one is the best.

Gosh. I'm getting offers for a follow-up project?

You bet!

You have no idea how famous you are, Si Deok.

Hey. I haven't heard that name for a while.

Oh, right.

I mean, Yu Sung.

Can't you call me Si Deok when it's just the two of us?

No, I can't. It'll confuse me.

It's a love story called "Time of Unrequited Love".

And you are the supporting character.

You're already getting a big role like this!

Gosh. This feels so surreal.

You're a romantic who's been in love with a girl for a long time.

But she has no idea.

I think I can do well on this.

What? Really?

Well,

I was once in love with a girl in my neighborhood a long time ago.

Nice. You can use that experience into your acting.

Well,

Why did you let them beat you up?

Can't you pack a punch?

If I fought back, I'd be partially liable too.

I couldn't let you get into trouble.

I'm pretty good at taking punches.

Okay. I'll get going.

Okay. Get home safely, Mr. Gong.

I...

I'll come back tomorrow.

Yu Sung.

In the end,

you were just another manager.

- Tae Sung.
- Is this why you brought her back?

I told you things I could never tell anyone.

You know what I went through better than anyone. But how could you...

How could you do this to me?

Ho Young.

I...

I'm not hitting on you.

I'm comforting you.

Think of me...

as a tree. And lean on me.

Hey, you're here.

I'll be drinking alone today.

It costs a lot of money to set up a bar like this, right?

Why? Do you want to start your own?

Running a business isn't easy.

Just stick to your job.

I might get fired soon.

Why?

I talked back to my chief...

after years of holding myself back like a coward.

I just couldn't do it today.

Good job. If you hold back too much, you'll explode.

Let me work here as a part-timer if I get canned.

As if. You were born to be a reporter.

To be honest,

I thought you were born to be a manager.

You were the best, you know?

Former Chief Director Yoo Ki Nong of Starforce Entertainment.

No.

The job never suited me.

I'm better off here.

Same here. My life is better thanks to Organic.

I'm so grateful. But I feel awful.

It's my father's death anniversary. I have to close up early and go.

Really? Sorry.

No, I'm sorry for not keeping you company.

- It's okay. You should go home.
- Our last shot.

(Lawyer Do Soo Hyuk)

Nice interview article.

Thanks to you, my workload got lighter.

So I'm going home earlier than I thought.

Mr. Do.

I didn't think you would really show up.

I wouldn't mind a drink today.

We have different jobs. But could the cause be the same?

Probably.

Thanks for joining me.

Well, I'd like to thank you for the same reason.

- Excuse me.
- Okay.

When I told him that, the chief said,

"That's why I don't work for a charity."

I was speechless in shock.

It's true despite the appalling nature.

What should I do when I hate my boss to death?

Have you ever been in my situation?

Well, can anyone like their boss?

Right.

Come to think of it, I told my mom on my boss.

- You told your mom?
- Yes.

I used to work at a very big law firm.

My boss used to be my mother's student.

I should mention my mother is a law professor.

This is what I said to her.

"Mom,"

"was this the best you could do to educate your student?"

"He's a total scumbag."

Gosh. You're on another level. What did she say?

I quit my job right after that.

And I opened up my own firm.

Gosh. You're in a different class.

I'm utterly scared that I might get fired tomorrow.

My family is proud of me for passing the bar...

and practice law.

They will be surprised to find out how much I work these days.

Gosh. That's something someone with a silver spoon...

No. That's something someone with a diamond spoon would say.

And you said it so nonchalantly.

So people often tell me that I'm annoying.

No. That's pretty cool.

- You think so?
- Yes.

I thought you were cool today.

And your article too.

It was the only one I clicked 'like'.

I should pick up the tab today.

What? You weren't going to?

Gosh. People might think they are really dating.

Was I talking to myself just now?

Kang Yu Sung is so busy.

And I fired Kang Min Kyu.

I'm so lonely.

How lonely. Gosh, I feel so alone.

If our shoot ends early,

Do you want to go to Han River for some ramyeon?

Ramyeon?

What are you saying?

What do you mean?

Yu Na!

- Hey!
- You're so annoying!

Let go of him. What are you doing?

Goodness. You have such strong hands.

Yu Na, didn't I tell you not to grab Jae Hyun by the hair?

What if he loses all his hair?

Will you pay for his hair plugs?

Jae Hyun, I apologize on behalf of Yu Na. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I bet fighting dogs don't fight as much as you do.

No, never mind.

Keep fighting.

Keep fighting with each other.

Didn't you see what happened to Gong Tae Sung?

Everything's a complete mess because of one scandal.

I'm sure there's no chance of this ever happening,

but if you guys ended up dating...

I'm getting chills.

Keep hating each other...

as much as you do right now.

Okay?

- Yes, sir.
- Okay.

Yu Na, come down when you're ready.

Don't grab him by the hair. Okay?

Hello, sir.

Thank you for calling me.

Right now? Of course.

Why?

Are you scared?

No.

Things at the agency have been chaotic,

and you know I dreamed of acting while watching Tae Sung.

But seeing everything fall apart with one article...

I was so upset I couldn't sleep.

You?

You fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.

I think I'm a bit scared.

Now that I think about it,

I just started making enough money to buy myself an Hermes bag.

I'd be in trouble if I get a photo taken with you.

- Let's break up.
- What?

Eat ramyeon on your own.

Bye.

We're always ready.

Yes. Goodbye.

Right. Thank you.

I'll be sure to keep in touch.

Okay. Goodbye.

What the... Yu Na.

Are you crying right now?

Did you fail to get the limited edition Hermes?

That's not it.

What is it?

Did your father cancel your cards?

No.

Then what is it?

Did Yoon Jae Hyun pull your hair because I wasn't around?

Really?

That punk. That Yoon Jae Hyun is a bad kid.

Don't cry.

Next time I see him,

I'll beat him up for you.

Don't cry.

Don't hit him!

Why would you hit him?

Are you saying you'll beat him up instead?

Gosh, don't cry. I get it.

My gosh.

Min Kyu was the most patient guy in the whole world.

Why did he have to be a total lunatic?

Gosh, this is exhausting.

To be honest,

I had my doubts yesterday.

But now I'm scared.

What if Tae Sung's career ends like this?

Shocking.

Was Gong Tae Sung a sand castle and not a strong one?

Everyone at Starforce is feeling forlorn.

The articles I saw the most today...

were "Gong Tae Sung, Hard Work Gone to Waste."

I'm so upset.

People who used to praise him and say he was amazing...

are now saying they knew he would be like this.

What is this?

They don't even know what kind of person he really is.

The nation's heartthrob?

Is this how they treat a heartthrob?

By the way...

I'm asking because I'm really curious.

What do you think Gong Tae Sung's relationship...

with Eun Si Woo really is?

I wonder too.

I'm wondering why we're not confronting this head on.

I'm even beginning to wonder...

if it's true.

Do you think there's something we don't know?

Honestly, I'm a bit confused.

With everything happening back to back,

I'm starting to have all sorts of crazy ideas.

I don't know what's going on.

Hey.

(On Star Daily)

We'll be starting Eun Si Woo's emergency press conference.

(Actress Eun Si Woo's Emergency Press Conference)

Hello.

It's been a while since I stood in front of you.

I'm Eun Si Woo.

(Starforce Entertainment)

(Epilogue)

(We will always remember Lee Yoon Woo.)

(It's his death anniversary soon.)

(I have a lot of thoughts today. I fell apart so easily.)

(Secret Comment)

I knew it was you.

You were a famous fan. "Smile Boy."

It's an honor that you remember me.

But pretending to be a fan too...

was a cheap shot, Ms. Oh.

A cheap shot?

I don't think that's something you can say.

Why did you call me here?

I was already investigated by the police,

and I will be punished accordingly.

Isn't it funny?

I...

don't know what kind of relationship Gong Tae Sung and Eun Si Woo have.

I don't care either.

All I did...

was raise the question of an affair,

and everyone else came up with their own stories...

and embellished on it.

The kid in Africa...

I didn't do that.

That just shows that I'm not the only one who hates him.

People...

who want to see Gong Tae Sung fall apart.

Why did you do it?

Why did you do that Gong Tae Sung, who is Lee Yoon Woo's best friend?

Best friend?

A best friend who doesn't even show up to the funeral?

When I'm not working, I stay home and watch TV.

I rest like everyone else and lay in bed.

Everyone is the same.

(Gong Tae Sung's 2020 Global Fan Meeting in the Phillippines)

How can you call yourself human when you smile so brightly...

the day after your friend dies?

If he was human,

he shouldn't have smiled like that.

Are you sure you didn't just need someone to hate and be angry at?

Do you know what kind of person Yoon Woo was?

You don't.

Do you think...

he'd be pleased about what you did?

I don't have to know.

As long as I'm satisfied.

I got my own kind of revenge.

Okay. Be satisfied with that.

And don't go any further.

Why? Are you afraid I'll do worse?

Yoon Woo will be very sad.

You're being so fake.

You failed to protect him.

Why didn't you protect him too?

You're right.

And for that, we suffered.

(Shxxting Stars)

It doesn't look good. They're calling him illegitimate.

If someone you know abhors you,

what would you do?

Please...

That's not how I felt.

Can you tell me why you really came back?

You could've told me a little sooner.

- That's my job.
- Is that the only solution?

I really want to protect you.

Protect me?

Or the Gong Tae Sung that other people see?

Couldn't you have just cared for me?
