It's good there. Sit over there.

Hello.

Look this way.

One, two...

Hello?

What?

What? The prop that came in is different from the proposal?

What about the kids?

Have they arrived? What?

Gosh, seriously.

We're out for the first time in a while. Must you do this?

I told you we're shooting the MV today.

I said to come on a different day, but you insisted.

Our son keeps begging to go out.

How could we keep him at home?

I'll go to that restaurant to make a reservation.

Watch him.

Honey, can't you take him with you?

I'll be back in just 10 minutes.

Stop being dramatic.

Just watch him for 10 minutes.

Mom, let's go there, too.

Okay, just give me a second. Mommy's a bit busy right now. Wait.

Yeah, could you send me the prop picture to this phone?

- Mom. - Sorry. Let me take care of this first.

Just stay here for a second.

Does this match the proposal?

I want to go over there.

Jin Woo, okay.

Just stay here for a moment. Stay here.

Could you keep sending the photos to this number as you check them?

Yellow, purple, and green.

You want the yellow one?

Okay, the yellow one.

It suits you so well!

Okay, keep at it.

I'm done, Jin Woo.

Jin Woo?

Mommy's done now.

Jin Woo?

Jin Woo?

I said just 10 minutes!

You couldn't watch him for just 10 minutes?

How can you say you're a mom?

You don't deserve to be a mom!

(13 missed calls. 29 new messages.)

(Pandora Team Leader Jang Hyeon Cheol)

When you get better, should we go somewhere and play?

We can go anywhere you'd like to go.

I was so busy

and couldn't spend much time with you, Jin Woo.

I'm sorry.

Where would be a good place to go?

Jin Woo.

Jin Woo?

Jin Woo.

You can't hear Mommy's voice?

Can you look over there?

(Namib - Episode 3: That Kind of Child)

You're the one who caused our son's injury and lost his hearing!

Is that something you can fix?

If you just... if you just hadn't done that-

By chance, last night...

What?

Did you hear what Dad said?

Like what?

But where are we going?

Oh, the factory.

(Taeha Industries)

I told you I won't do it.

You'll change your mind once you see it.

I said I won't do it.

- Let's take a look first. - Mom.

Hello, hello!

Hello.

Welcome.

You're so handsome!

Are you an idol?

He's good-looking, just like his mom.

He's just as CEO Kang said.

She said you were smart and skillful.

Say hello. He's the factory manager.

You're finally here, my future head disciple.

Head what?

First, put this on.

Let's put it on quickly.

Gosh, it looks so good on you.

Anything would look good on him.

This is the third-generation sock machinery we recently installed.

It doesn't require as much labor as before.

One person is enough to man this machine.

You don't need a person to flip the sock,

and it's also an ESG-compliant technology, which is important these days.

Feel it.

I said I won't do it.

Please take good care of him.

You're going to leave already?

We only came by to check out the factory today.

Next time, let's eat a meal together.

Of course.

Stop! Stop!

These are safety devices your mother emphasized greatly.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Jin Woo, let's go.

Come here.

No, no. Place it away from it.

Far, far away.

I have to go somewhere

so take care of your meals yourself.

- Okay. - Do you know how to make rice?

No.

- You can take food out of the fridge, right? - Yes

If you come to my house, there's someone who can help you.

I'll buy that factory, no matter what.

And you will become a CEO.

The CSAT and college are important,

but also prepare to become a CEO. Understand?

- Mom. - Yeah?

Why does it have to be a factory?

Must I tell you again?

A stable demand, and you could handle it-

No, what I mean is...

I gave up on it, so why aren't you?

Because it's possible.

I can do it, and you can do it as well.

What can I do?

What...

What can I do?

(10 years ago)

(What I want to be in the future)

(My dream: CEO)

What are they doing? Let's go, Fork.

- I could have gotten it correct. - Guys!

- Fork. - Fork.

What's so fun?

We were playing a word guessing game.

Wow, that must be fun.

Let's play together.

Fork, you'll play with us, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Sounds good. Let's all play together.

Hey, Fork, I can't understand you well.

I know the answer! It's an elephant.

- Hi. - Hi, Heli.

What's so fun?

Well...

So, in the end,

Fork left without being able to play with friends.

Yeah. Fork must have been so sad.

He probably wanted to play together.

Is there a way for Fork's friends to understand him well?

I don't know. That's a difficult problem.

I want to become a CEO.

The reason is because my mom is a CEO.

It could be my mom's company

or a factory where things are produced.

Though my mom is always working,

I think my mom is cool and awesome.

I want to become a CEO like my mom.

From now on, you and I will make a rule together.

When we want to start a conversation,

we'll knock,

asking to talk.

And pay close attention to my lips.

You'll learn to read...

lips, okay?

I...

saw this.

I see that you have a dream now, Jin Woo.

Yes, that's how you should be.

To create your own world

rather than working for someone else.

I will help you.

No...

I will make that happen for you.

Don't worry.

And...

if we close the door like this when we finish a conversation,

the conversation will end.

End of conversation.

- Aren't you going home? - I have to go to work.

Divorce? Did Shim Jun Seok say that?

Gosh, talk about extreme.

Is Jin Woo only his son?

He's not thinking about your wounds at all!

At least, he gets to blame you. You don't get to blame anyone!

I mean, I was to blame.

Seriously.

It was my fault.

I made him like that.

Hey, please don't live like that, as if you're a sinner.

You tried everything after Jin Woo got hurt.

You even went to the U.S. for it.

You spent so much money on his treatments already.

Don't even think about the divorce,

and please live your life.

I'll take care of it.

(Yoo Jin Woo)

- Excuse me. - Huh?

Oh, it's you, Jin Woo.

By chance, are you throwing all this away?

Yeah.

They're our company idols' goods, but they're defective.

- Is it okay if I take a few of these? - What?

Just a few to remember this place by.

Well, you see...

I'll just take a few as severance.

Thank you.

Eat up.

Starting tomorrow, go to school together.

Wait.

What about his class helper?

He'll act as his class helper as well.

Did you attend school?

- Yes, I attended sometimes- - Of course, you didn't.

How could someone like him act as his class helper?

He's good at listening and taking notes.

Besides, having someone like him next to him is the most effective solution.

Aigoo. He'll do well and be effective, my foot.

You're able to protect my son for sure, right?

- I'll make sure you don't worry- - Forget it. I don't need it.

- You need it. - I don't.

He says he doesn't!

Listen to your mom.

That's Jin Woo's.

That's Jin Woo's mom's.

Use this cup.

Okay.

Are you able to see it?

See what?

Your future.

What's the point of that?

What do you mean, what's the point?

You have to win.

The joy of watching the birth of a star.

The satisfaction of seeing the person you chose grow.

People support those whom they feel will be successful.

So, start thinking about your future in detail from now on.

I kept my promise.

So you better keep yours.

Future, my foot.

- I wanted to say good night. - Okay, good night.

(Kang Su Hyeon)

(Kang Su Hyeon)

(Pandora Entertainment's Kang Su Hyeon suddenly goes to the U.S. Is she targeting the U.S. market?)

I agree with what you said about waiting until Jin Woo graduates high school.

If we need to prepare some things, let's do so by then.

- What do you think? - What do you mean?

The kid. What do you think of him?

Why are you changing the subject?

You've got a better feel for it than I do.

You discovered Jung Hwa, too.

What are your thoughts about him?

I can see the factory.

That again?

That damn factory...

I want you to help.

- Help what? - Help Yoo Jin Woo win the Star Rise audition.

You don't have anyone else around you?

I don't. Who do you think I'd have?

I haven't worked for the last 10 years after Jin Woo's accident.

Gosh, you're bringing that up again.

What do you want me to do with a guy who's already all grown up?

You were a talented producer.

I'm telling you, I can see the factory.

Gosh, seriously!

Dang it!

(What I want to be in the future My dream: CEO)

(Desired University Admission Survey)

Wow...

- What's all this? - It's for you to eat.

Thanks. I'll enjoy it.

Wow, it's so good.

So, that woman took you into her home?

Yeah. She's telling me to enter an audition program.

An audition program?

You know that's all rigged, right?

They already chose the ones who will do well, and the rest are just fillers.

She's telling me to win it.

Don't pay attention to such BS.

We should live our own lives.

If you're eliminated after acting as filler,

will anyone pay you for that?

Ignore what they say about aiming for your dream,

and let's live in reality

with everything we've got.

Yes, CEO.

Yes.

What were Ha Na's test results?

Everyone agreed unanimously.

We decided she'll represent our company on Star Rise.

Who should we have as her manager?

You take care of her.

Me?

CEO, I'm already busy taking care of the storefronts.

Go to Pandora for work.

Take care of her according to her needs.

The goal is...

Winning.

I'll do everything in my power.

Do your best.

Okay.

Tomorrow night's event prep is going well, right?

Yes. We've reserved the Sheon Hotel and the car.

There are no issues.

- What about that guy? - Park Yoon

says he'll make sure to bring him.

Hey, hey, hey. Wake up.

A rule in our household

is that you wake up, eat, and sleep on time.

Here, rinse it.

Okay.

Hey!

Hey!

Slice it thinly! Thinly!

Hey! I said, slice it thinly. Thinly!

How many times must I tell you?

Hey! Who cracks eggs like that?

Are you cracking open a rock?

Hey, hey! That's a stainless steel pan, so you have to heat it up first-

Damn it.

This is your responsibility.

Why am I included?

I'm going to go to the broadcasting company

and meet the head producer of Star Rise.

I'll go to check out their vibe

and introduce you to them.

In a moment like this, you're supposed to say thank you.

Thank you.

And start managing your diet.

You probably heard it so many times at Pandora.

Of course. Don't worry about it.

You were a talented producer.

Talented. Talented. Talented.

Talented.

Damn it.

Hi. It's nice to meet you.

I'm his friend. Let's be friends, too.

Yoo Jin Woo, did you see the challenge I sent you yesterday? Let's film that together.

I don't want to.

Guys.

Guys, let's go to the snack bar together after the third period. I'm so hungry.

If you pay.

You should pay.

Oh, Yoo Jin Woo. It's confirmed that I will appear on Star Rise.

Daebak, right?

Just appearing isn't daebak. You need to be a hit for it to be daebak.

Hey, be nice.

You'll try hard now, right?

I just need to do what his mom tells me to do.

I heard you guys live together. Can I come over and hang out?

Could you speak a bit slower?

She's not able to speak slowly.

It's her illness.

Hey, Yoo Jin Woo!

Oh, it's Shim Jin Woo.

- Where? - But he has friends now?

♫ Even still, smile again ♫

♫ Once more, stand up again ♫

♫ Hunched-up shoulders don't suit you ♫

♫ Shining brighter than the stars in the night sky ♫

You were a talented producer.

♫ Don't hesitate and lift your head ♫

♫ Get up again ♫

♫ Smile again ♫

Finding the radius of the circumcircle of BC...

To cross the ocean...

Must be completed.

What is it?

(Math: Class started! Wow, that's crazy. Class ended.)

What is this?

I wrote down what I heard.

Do it properly.

Do it again.

Then, why don't you record the class and listen-

Hey.

You like this group?

Yeah.

Wow, you even stream their song?

- Hey! - Wait...

Here you go.

Great work.

- Here. - Thanks.

- Here. - Great work.

Thanks.

Happy? I wouldn't know anything written there, so just take it.

From now on, look at me when you speak.

- You can't hear me, though. - I do.

By your lip movements and your expression,

I can hear it all.

So look at me while you speak.

Okay.

- Where are you going? - Practice-

- To the practice room. - School's not over yet, though.

- She says to come. - Who?

Your mom.

Vocal training?

You did the vocal training for RAID, too.

Yoo Jin Woo needs you, too.

Shim Jun Seok!

How could you do that to Su Hyeon-

- You came. - Yeah.

To return this.

You watched it?

What? You'll do it, too?

No, I'm not interested.

I see. You set everything up properly.

You know Hong Jung Hwa, right?

She'll be your vocal trainer from now on.

And this is Shim Jun Seok, who used to be a producer at Pandora.

Oh, okay.

You should say thank you.

Thank you.

We don't have time. Let's get right into it.

First, let's hear you sing.

Sing?

("Would You Like to Walk with Me?")

♫ If you're tired, let's take a rest momentarily. ♫

♫ We've still got a long way to go ♫

♫ Shall we drink some water? ♫

♫ Since we've already walked such a long road ♫

♫ We climbed high mountains, crossed rough rivers ♫

♫ And passed through deep valleys ♫

♫ To a place where we can reach life's end ♫

♫ Today as well ♫

Your singing isn't the Pandora's style.

Where did you learn to sing like that?

I just sang it.

Could you try that again with a guitar?

We're not at Pandora, so do it however you want.

Okay.

♫ There were times we lost our way ♫

♫ We also had times when we fell ♫

♫ But every time that happened, we came to each other ♫

♫ Lent each other a narrow shoulder ♫

♫ And put strength into our knees again ♫

♫ We climbed high mountains, crossed rough rivers ♫

♫ And passed through the valleys ♫

♫ To a place where we can reach life's end ♫

♫ Today as well ♫

I can go, right?

Yeah.

What about my lunch?

The lunchtime is probably over by now.

Yeah, let's lose some weight.

Skip it.

She's such a boomer.

What do you think?

I can see why you brought him.

What about you, Produce Shim?

- No. - Why not?

He doesn't shine.

Do you want to watch a kid who doesn't smile, even if he sings well?

I'll go meet with Producer Park of Star Rise.

Let's talk.

About what?

The divorce. Is it true?

It worked out that way.

They talk the same way.

Producer Shim, stop torturing Su Hyeon.

Can't you see she's withering away alone, trying to take responsibility for her son?

She doesn't share it with me.

What?

Whether it be the guilt or the solution,

she doesn't share it with me.

Bearing her pain by herself is her choice, so fine.

But...

she chose the solution by herself

and placed her life on the line for it.

After she placed our entire fortunes and future on the line,

she chases after it alone without looking around her.

I'm not the one torturing Kang Su Hyeon.

It's herself.

She's doing it to herself.

Hey, Shim!

Why did you complicate things by telling our homeroom teacher?

You brought a strange friend.

- Did your mom get him for you? - Hey.

Do you have anything today?

Like an envelope?

Here it is, you bastard.

Gosh, I'm so hungry as is. Shoo.

Shoo, go back to your seats.

Mind your own business. I have something to say to him.

No, you don't.

Even if you do, don't. Just go.

- What did you say? - Can't hear?

Should I write it down for you?

What's with him?

Stay away.

Seriously, this bastard!

Are you crazy?

Aigoo is so cute. Look at you, blink!

Aigoo, so cute.

What's with you? Who do you think you are?

What, you bastard? Just go.

Hey, you better watch out.

Look away!

What's going on? Did you cause trouble as soon as you came to school?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Guys, I'm going to record a challenge, so help me.

I'm sorry. I have something to do.

What do you have to do?

Well, it's...

(BNA)

It's been a while.

I heard you were fired from Pandora.

I wasn't fired. I left.

I heard rumors that a thug took over your company.

CEO Kim is taking good care of it.

Pandora is your company, CEO Kang.

Does CEO Kim do anything?

So, why did you throw your weight around?

Enough of that.

I have this kid...

- No, no, I won't listen. - Wait. Just give me a chance.

Just hear me out. Just listen.

I'll get in big trouble if I do something like this.

This kid has a story.

He's got a backstory and character.

It's what you guys like.

You can get a lot of content from him.

- I didn't hear this. - Of course.

I'm only talking to myself. By myself.

He's got a good story.

His talent is even better.

Where's his mom?

We don't know yet.

- Do you know what she does for a living? - I've met with her.

- Can you have her appear with him? - Huh?

His mom. Can you bring her so she can appear on camera?

Not his mom.

His mom needs to appear on camera

for him to have a complete story.

You scared me!

Dad, happy birthday!

Thanks. You almost made my birthday my funeral.

Ahjussi, happy birthday!

Thanks. But who are you?

Happy birthday.

All right, thanks, but can you tell me who she is?

- She's a friend. - A friend?

Why would your friend be here at this time?

Why would you ask why?

It's your birthday.

I see.

Carry this.

All right. We will now start Shim Jun Seok ahjussi's birthday party!

Everyone, start singing the song. Ready, go.

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

♫ - Happy birthday to our dear ahjussi ♫ ♫ - Happy birthday to my dear dad ♫

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

Blow out the candles, Ahjussi.

Wow! Everyone, applause!

Yes. Yoo Jin Woo, go and get the food.

Okay.

What did you order?

Fried chicken! You can't have a birthday without fried chicken.

You guys have an audition program ahead of you-

Ahjussi, Jin Woo and I have trained for a long time.

Weight and diet management.

We've done it for 10 years, so this is not a problem.

Wow, it smells good.

Wow...

Hey, this is an old-fashioned fried chicken.

Don't you think eating it will be okay for just today?

Wow, it's so good.

Yoo Jin Woo,

you'd be in trouble if you eat all that by yourself.

Eat this drumstick.

Thanks.

This is a limited edition.

This is CEO Kang Su Hyeon's, right?

I bought it.

I should listen to it.

You do Bling?

The idol messaging app.

I do it.

Why would you do something like that, Ahjussi?

That used to be my job.

Making songs and putting out albums...

That used to be my job.

Wait, then this...

Is this yours, Ahjussi?

- Yeah. - Please play us something.

Gosh, it's been a while since I played it.

Come on, how long could it have been?

Around 10 years?

That's why you should try playing it today.

No, my fingers lost their callouses, so it'll hurt too much.

Come on, don't be like that, Ahjussi!

No, I can't.

Just once.

My fingers hurt too much.

Just once.

(Yoo Jin Woo)

Gather all the files on Yoo Jin Woo for me

including every little detail.

(I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.)

What is this?

(I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.)

- Let's record a challenge since we're together. - What?

I said, let's record a challenge together.

I told you.

She's unable to speak slowly.

Yoo Jin Woo!

Are my lips weird?

Since we're together, let's record a challenge.

Will this work?

You understand Yoo Jin Woo's words right away.

Why can't you understand mine?

Some people have lip shapes like that,

where it's easy to read their lips.

Are you saying the shape of my lips is the problem?

So he knows how to laugh.

What?

An apology letter?

Yeah, okay.

- You're Yoo Jin Woo's aunt, right? - Yes.

I'm sorry to come at such a late hour.

I'm Kang Su Hyeon, the former CEO of Pandora Entertainment.

I'm starting a new company after taking Jin Woo with me.

I met with Jin Woo's mom,

and Jin Woo himself agreed to it as well.

I heard that you two were his actual guardians after he came to Seoul.

Yes. On days like weekends when he couldn't stay at the dorms,

he stayed at our house.

I thought it was only right to visit you and explain everything in person.

I also wanted to learn more about Jin Woo as well.

What do you mean by that?

I want to know what kind of kid Yoo Jin Woo is.

I'm sincerely hoping Jin Woo will be successful.

I will make him successful.

In order to do so, I need to know more about what kind of guy he is.

Such as a part of his situation or personality I may not know about-

You say you will make Jin Woo successful?

Yes. I'll make him like that.

Could a kid like him be successful, too?

- Pardon? - I'm asking

if a kid like him can become a star.

♫ Happy birthday to you ♫

You're curious about what kind of kid Jin Woo is?

Can you promise me that nothing bad will happen to Jin Woo

even after finding out what kind of kid he is?

I'll take responsibility since it's a matter of importance to me, too.

Jin Woo is...

Ahjussi, I had a great time today.

- I can come by again, right? - Again?

Okay, thank you. I'll come by often!

I'll be back after I walk her home.

- Hey- - Yoo Jin Woo.

Throw out the trash on your way out.

- See you. - Bye.

You know, Yoo Jin Woo.

He had a different vibe today when I saw him at home.

He does seem okay.

We've got a bit of a problem.

- A problem? - I just heard...

what kind of kid Yoo Jin Woo is.

Hyung.

Why are you late?

I'm sorry.

I'm going to ask you to run an errand.

You can do it, right?

What is it?

You have a driver's license, right?

I'm not drunk!

We're almost there.

He's the fourth generation of Minwoong Corporation.

And that's the great-grandson of Sanho Group.

And he's the leader of RAID.

You know him, right?

He's a famous influencer, and he's a streamer.

- Shit! - He's being so fussy.

Park Yoon, the heir to the Eunsang Group.

He was arrested on drug charges,

and he's fooling around here after leaving the courtroom.

- I see. - Hey!

Get out of the way.

You'll drive the car he's in.

What?

All you have to do is get to the destination.

The address is saved on the GPS navigator.

Don't look at his face.

And don't make eye contact, either.

Just...

drive and come back.

Whether he throws a tantrum or kills someone or whatever crazy stunt he pulls,

you just need to drive and come back.

Okay?

Jin Woo, you're able to do this well.

Yeah, it's in front of you, Hyung.

I said, bring me the money, you bastard.

Hey, who told you to get in this car?

Hey, get out. You get out and sit in the front, Jin Hee.

- Jin Hee, come to the front! - What's wrong?

Whether he throws a tantrum or kills someone or whatever crazy stunt he pulls,

you just need to drive and come back.

Gosh, what's wrong with you! Stop it!

What's with you! Stop it!

I said, stop it!

Stop it!

Seriously, you!

I said, stop it!

Let go of me!

I said, stop the car!

I said, stop the car, you bastard!

What is it? What kind of kid is he?

How could a kid like him be loved by people?

He's someone...

who doesn't even love himself.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry... I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

(Namib)

When I got into that accident...

(Pandora Entertainment CEO Kang Su Hyeon)

By chance, are you hiding something from me?

He tries to hold himself back as long as he can

and he starts acting weird.

No, not here.

What do you really want to become?

Choose wisely.

Try to provoke Yoo Jin Woo.

Did your parents abandon you, Yoo Jin Woo?

Yoo Jin Woo!
