(Namib)

- So, we changed our strategy. - Pardon?

We'll scrap the strategy we have prepared up to now.

Then, what do you want me to do?

Do the opposite.

High notes? Don't do them.

Sing the lowest possible notes you can.

Your eyes? Don't look straight ahead, but sing looking at the ground.

As you've always done.

Lastly,

no accompaniment. Sing acapella.

Acapella?

That's ridiculous.

What do you expect me to do?

Tell your story.

Sing it as if it's really about your life.

♫ I'm happy ♫

♫ I really don't want to say these words to you ♫

♫ However, now, there's nothing I can do about it anymore ♫

♫ I prayed that I would no longer love that person anymore ♫

♫ However, now, it's too late ♫

(I'm happy)

Let's change the lyrics of the intro.

- Why? - Just do as I say.

You said to sing as if it was really my story.

I don't think I can.

Exactly.

In your life, you're the happiest when you sing.

You said you were confident.

I take Jin Woo around and do that!

Everyone around me...

becomes unhappy whenever I sing.

Not anymore.

So, just think about yourself.

Pardon?

Just think about yourself.

♫ To strengthen me ♫

♫ I remember how brightly you used to smile ♫

♫ Next time, don't ever meet someone like me ♫

♫ Please... ♫

What? Is he done?

Isn't he singing anymore? Is that it?

(Please be happy)

♫ Please be happy ♫

You can leave the stage now. Next contestant.

Go inside.

You're still doing things like this in places like this?

Things like this are my job.

You don't deserve to be doing this.

Must everyone find out

about what you said and did?

- Kang Su Hyeon? - Excuse me?

Did you come with CEO Kang Su Hyeon?

Yes.

How was it?

The stage.

I'm asking what the vibe and the lighting are like.

It's dark.

You can't see anything because it's so dark.

Sounds familiar.

That's not an issue.

I'll be the winner anyway.

Jin Woo.

I was so touched.

What?

You were so good.

You looked so cool.

- Did you come to see me? - Of course.

I'm your mom.

We're family.

Right?

(Namib - Episode 5: Family)

Yoo Jin Woo came back home after his performance.

I heard he'll be entering the training camp if he passes.

Be careful.

Okay.

Mom only observes Jin Woo without saying much.

Nobody asked him

whether he did well

or made any mistakes.

Oh, you did a good job.

Yoo Jin Woo will enter the training camp starting from the main rounds.

So, I thought about your security issue-

Mom, I'm fine.

Even if it's not a bodyguard, you still need a class helper.

I have a system now.

A system?

By whom? How?

Yoo Jin Woo did.

Did you become close friends already?

Be level-headed, and don't go easy on him.

Take the multiples of 3 among the natural numbers.

So, 3, 6, 9, 12.

This is what you call a sequence.

It's fun to watch Yoo Jin Woo.

Not only did he create a class helper system,

he got them in competition with each other.

Now, I ask what I want more precisely.

All right, we'll end our class here.

Thank you.

All three look good.

Just choose one who did the best.

The one who did the best?

Then, it's none of them.

All three of them are mediocre.

Don't just write down the content,

but also what the teacher emphasized.

Through his facial expressions or nuances.

Please include that so I can check all that.

All right.

You guys heard that, right?

Try harder in the future. Great work.

I don't have that many left.

I'll have to go and get some more.

Or should I talk about it with your mom?

In any case, you did well to turn all three of them away.

They could slack off knowing that I'm not studious.

You have to be level-headed.

Don't go easy on them.

Be level-headed, and don't go easy on him.

Hey, what you just said-

You were going to say I sound like your mom, right?

Wait, wait.

I'll be going to the restroom!

Damn it.

Watch where you're going!

If you can't hear well,

at least see well.

Dang it!

All right. When he leaves school to go to the study cafe.

And when he goes home from the study cafe.

All you have to do is watch him during this period.

Then what?

I'll give you hourly pay. And one more of your favorite group's goods.

- Yes! - Can you get me a signed CD?

A signed CD...

Okay, deal.

I can do it from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Okay, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. And you?

- I'll do 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. - Okay.

- I'll take over from that point on. - Okay.

What are they doing?

It's an emergency contacting system.

What? An emergency contacting system?

So, you and I can't always be together.

What if you went to study and I went to the audition,

and something were to happen?

It's basically like a human CCTV system.

How about the money to pay them?

Your mom will have to give that.

Jin Woo, you must pay them.

That's the only way they feel responsible. Okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

(Pandora Entertainment)

("Will Kang Su Hyeon, who left Pandora, continue her success after RAID?")

("If Kang Su Hyeon picks you, you'll succeed? Her next pick is Yoo Jin Woo")

Reporter Seo, this is Jang Hyeon Cheol of Pandora.

I want to give you a tip-off that Xpatch will love.

You know CEO Kang Su Hyeon, right?

I have a video of her.

You can pass the first round by showing your uniqueness.

But that won't work from the second round on.

If you're not talented, it'll become clear to everyone.

But the first-round results haven't even come out yet.

Why are we preparing for the next round?

You'll make it.

How do you know that?

Do you think you'll be eliminated?

- Do you think I'll survive? - Yeah.

I've never been eliminated in a situation like this.

So, how was my singing?

Let's get started.

You know what we're doing, right?

A, A!

Look at A!

What are you looking at? It's C, C.

Okay.

B, B, B!

D, D!

That's right.

A, E, I,

The basics of vocals are about breathing.

E, I,

- O, U. - Louder!

Open your shoulders more.

Keep your posture. That's right.

Make sure to breathe out evenly.

You're almost there. Fighting!

Keep at it!

Ji Young, are you okay?

You need to win this audition program! Let's go!

Look at the camera. The camera. Nice.

Ji Young, nice! Nice!

Nice, nice, with control!

Just a moment.

Let's take a break.

- I'm sorry. - It's fine.

Just take a quick break.

- Drink some water. - Thank you.

- Water. - Thank you.

- Jin Woo. - Yes.

Look at the video.

These are our company's new products.

- You see how you keep lowering your head? - Yes.

- Look straight ahead. - Okay.

Even if you're rushed to do the moves, you have to look straight ahead.

We don't want to see the top of your head.

All right. It's a fun singing time.

- Pardon? - Ms. Hong.

Can't we rest for a little longer? Please...

Okay. Just 10 minutes.

When will the results be announced?

In two days.

They should announce it sooner. The kids are waiting.

How do you feel about it?

I think we'll have good results.

I don't really know.

You feel like you did well but also screwed it up, right?

Yes.

You're curious as to whether you performed well,

or not, right?

- Yes. - Right, this is it.

That was the thing I found strange about Yoo Jin Woo as well.

I've known Yoo Jin Woo for so long,

but it's the first time I've seen him curious about anything.

He was always ambivalent and apathetic to everything.

What do you think it means to be curious about something?

Think about it.

Jin Woo, let's go out.

- Where? - I've reserved a good place.

We don't have many customers today.

This is the type of business I want to set up.

It's not a dark, shady bar

nor is it a squalid restaurant?

A refined and nice place like this.

Eat up.

It sounds cool.

But Hyung...

I have something to tell you.

Okay. You should speak your mind.

I'll pay you whatever you want for your salary.

It's not that.

I think my audition results will come out soon.

- Audition? - Yeah.

Jin Woo.

You promised to run a business with me.

You'll be graduating next year. You should come to your senses.

You don't have your hopes up about being successful on the audition, are you?

Okay.

Let's say you get good results by some miracle.

You think you'll win or something?

You think you'll become a star or a celebrity, huh?

Jin Woo, I saw what happens

when someone keeps dreaming about what they can't achieve.

They die.

They die!

You think I'm lying?

Let's wrap everything up by tomorrow.

That woman will abandon you anyway.

So...

leave her before you get kicked out.

Hyung.

Was a name decided for your group?

No.

But my stage name was decided.

- You know what it is? - What is it?

Chris.

Do you think it's tacky?

I think it's so cool.

Did you come up with it?

I heard CEO Kang Su Hyeon came up with it.

Jin Woo.

I'm going to try really hard.

I won't...

ever...

end up like that.

This is my last chance.

I'm sorry, but your debut has been pushed back.

Pardon?

To when?

- Indefinitely. - Indefinitely?

Why? I... Why...

Why are you doing that?

It's the company's situation. That's all you need to know.

Does CEO Kang know about this, too?

She's the one who made the decision.

Deputy, Deputy!

What will happen to me, then?

What can we do? Just keep training.

What more must I do from here?

Deputy, if this team is broken up,

I have to leave this company.

That's your problem.

What's wrong with this?

I just fixed you. How could you break down already?

Gosh, the smell.

My car's broken down.

Just go around me.

Man, I said my car's broken down.

Hey. Can't you see that my car's broken down?

I heard the news.

I heard you invested a lot into Pandora.

Yeah, that's right.

That's right...

Why do you speak casually to me? You're younger than me.

Then, do the same to me.

Did you think you'd live comfortably

after driving a stake through my heart?

A-A stake? Me?

You came in between Kang Su Hyeon and me

- and stole her from me! - What?

- Wasn't he your secretary? - No.

My wife never considered you seriously.

She was already dating me back then!

Again, again, again! You're hurting me again.

Wait.

So, did you plot all this because Kang Su Hyeon married me instead of you?

Even acquiring the company and kicking my wife out?

Gosh, this crazy bastard-

Kang Su Hyeon should have chosen me.

She's suffering because she chose you.

- What suffering? - Insults, shame.

All sorts of hardships she doesn't need to suffer.

Give me a break. Who do you think is actually suffering because of that marriage?

Oh?

Sounds like you're saying you're suffering more.

That's right. Honestly, I'm the one who's suffering.

- Why? - What?

You were the ones in love who gave me your wedding invitation.

And now, you say you're suffering because of that marriage?

I looked into it and found out you don't really do much.

I mean, well...

- What? - I heard you raise your kid and do the housekeeping.

Oh, that's why you said you're the one suffering.

Because you feel it's so unfair.

I'm not a housekeeper!

Then, what do you do?

I'm also training a trainee.

- You do? Who? - Yoo Jin Woo!

Okay, do your best.

You're Mr. Mom, and I bought her company.

An alpha male's spectacular life versus a beta male's pathetic life.

Gosh, so pathetic.

Yoo Jin Woo. Yoo Jin Woo!

We'll start your special training today.

Where did he go?

He went to Jung Hwa's restaurant to practice.

I'm going to do it properly this time.

- Dinner? - Not food. Is that all I do?

I'll make Yoo Jin Woo a success.

But let's make this clear.

I'm not doing this for you.

Nor am I doing this to buy Jin Woo a factory.

I'll make this project a success so I can do whatever and however I want.

I'm not doing this because of that stupid factory.

But I, I, I will...

return to my original job. Got it?

- Did I ever tell you not to? - What?

I mean, I'm just saying I really hope you do.

Right?

Now, how do I crush that bastard, Oh Bong Gyu?

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Are these all the hair bands you have?

That's all we have.

Oh, I see.

(Factory Manager: If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime.)

Are you able to produce something like this?

We can.

Like this, right?

Is this possible as well?

Could you add the colors you want to this?

(Trainee Comprehensive Evaluation Report Lee Han Young)

(Trainee Info)

(5 trainees dorming together (Kim Jun Ho, Park Sang Hyeok, Choi Min Seok, Yoo Jin Woo))

(Yoo Jin Woo)

(To Chris: Let's meet, Thug.)

The second floor.

(Flavia - No Entry)

I guess you're shocked that I'm more serious than you thought.

You thought a producer who got kicked out would use a young kid and toss him aside, right?

You should stop toying with Jin Woo.

I'm not toying with him.

I bet my life on him.

You say you bet your life on him?

I once bet my life on you.

And you abandoned me.

I see that's how you think of me.

Thanks to you, I learned my lesson.

That I shouldn't trust anyone.

You should let Jin Woo go now.

He was struggling because he's so soft-hearted.

Do you think that's because of his soft heart,

or because he's instinctively afraid of ruining his life?

I know Jin Woo better than you do.

I know how he got started.

Do you want some cake?

Take me with you!

Hurry up.

Let's go.

You take the bus here.

And you get off here. Got it?

Do you want me to buy it for you?

Really?

Jin Woo...

I'll make sure he is successful.

You'll make him successful?

Like yourself?

Gosh, seriously.

Jin Woo...

You know Jin Woo is smart, right?

I'll make sure he doesn't have to rely on anyone.

I won't abandon him.

Great timing. Shall we check who's the better choice for him?

(Producer Park) Yes, Producer Park.

CEO, it's me. Yoo Jin Woo's results came out.

(Producer Park)

He passed.

Why would I abandon someone who's so talented?

I wonder if you can trust him.

Can you trust Jin Woo?

I'm not trusting Yoo Jin Woo. I trust myself.

Do you think that talented kid

is truly on your side?

Why don't you let Jin Woo choose which side he'll take?

Han Young.

Bye.

Mr. Chauffeur, why aren't you coming?

Why are we here?

Oh, my mom told me to buy you some clothes.

I got my mom's credit card!

- Oh, it's small. - Try putting it on properly.

Move, move!

- How do I look? - It's not bad.

- I think it'll be expensive... - Let's go, let's go!

No, no. Not that one.

That suits you so well!

- What do you think? - Are you kidding me?

Hey, no joke, you look so hip.

Get me something else besides this.

Put the ears up. If you dress like this, you'll win first place.

- It looks good on him! - Okay, okay.

Try this on.

Hey, over here, over here. Let's go!

This will look good on you.

I think this will look good on you.

- Whatever. - What...

Looks good.

Let's go.

Looking good.

Why are you late?

Since today's an important day, I'll let you off easy.

Are you busy?

What?

Let's go.

Where?

Wherever.

Today's the results announcement. Why haven't they called yet?

I guess you got eliminated.

Don't jinx it!

- What will you do about it? - What?

If you are eliminated...

If you're eliminated, what will you do?

I'll die.

- What? - I'll die.

Why?

Can't you just make a living doing something else?

I should tell you since I'm here with you.

If I'm eliminated, do this for me.

You know how you send out texts when someone dies?

"I am sorry to inform you that Gyeong Ha Na has passed away.

This is the funeral home." That.

Can you send out that text for me?

Gosh, seriously...

Why? Is it too much of a hassle?

Come on, do it for me!

Why is that so important to you?

Dream? Hope?

Just give up on them and live life!

Did everyone lose their mind or something? So unrealistic!

Thug, you must be misunderstanding something,

but I'm not doing this over lingering attachments.

Living like this comes naturally to me.

I'm happy and comfortable.

It may seem like I'm holding onto something futile to you,

but giving up seems more forced and unnatural to me.

You're lying.

What?

You said you'd die if you were eliminated.

It's so natural, comfortable, and makes you happy, but you'll die if you don't make it?

That makes no sense.

Yeah, someone with such a failure mentality like you could never understand.

(02-1540-0328)

Yes?

Gyeong Ha Na, I'm a production staff from Star Rise.

Yes.

What did they say?

They said to come to the Star Rise training camp next week.

Won't you even congratulate me?

I'll increase my practice time starting tomorrow.

Come pick me up two hours early.

- What do we do? - I don't know.

Jin Woo.

Ji Young.

Congratulations!

You should say thank you.

Thank you.

Me, too! I'll make sure to go all the way to the final round.

You really have to work hard now.

(Xpatch Reporter Seo) Okay.

Let's see.

Hey, Reporter Seo, it's been a while.

Hey, Yoo Jin Woo passed, right?

I guess he's pretty good.

But CEO,

we've received a video tip-off.

Of Yoo Jin Woo? Oh, what video?

No. Not of Yoo Jin Woo.

Of you, CEO.

Me?

Power tripping against RAID.

So, you're saying Xpatch received that video...

- Who did it? - We're not supposed to disclose the source.

But you know who it is without me telling you, right?

Must everyone find out about what you said and did?

I'm sure you can tell right away that's an edited video, Reporter Seo.

It's still a tip-off.

Please give us your statement by tonight.

If I don't hear from you,

we'll reveal it tomorrow at 7 a.m.

Reporter Seo-

Who was it?

Is there a problem?

You guys should go home first.

- All right. - Okay.

What kind of statement does she expect from you?

You're not a celebrity. Why write such a story?

It'll be a story since she threw her weight around against RAID.

We ultimately need the original video.

We can prove it was fake with the original video.

To obtain the original video,

we should find the person who took the video.

They're probably still at Pandora.

They probably benefited from getting you kicked out.

There's no way Hyeon Cheol took it himself.

Someone from the inside probably sent it to him.

If this story is released,

they'll say, CEO Kang, who got kicked out for power-tripping against RAID,

is trying to make a comeback with Yoo Jin Woo.

That will be the end of the audition, then.

(RAID - A fan signing event to celebrate the release of "Your Man")

You're so handsome!

Us, too!

Who is it?

That video.

The edited video that took me down.

Who recorded it?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

You guys and I were in it.

Yet neither of us knows? How strange.

I said I don't know!

I have nothing to say. Leave!

You know that I don't speak like that.

The power-tripping and verbal abuse coming from me is ridiculous.

They said not to talk to you.

So please leave!

Just tell me who recorded it. I won't let it hurt you.

They coaxed you. It's not like we're enemies.

They told me not to talk to you.

Not a word.

If you don't leave, I'll leave.

All my fans are outside.

Wow...

Hey.

What brings you here at this hour?

You know the video of Su Hyeon power-tripping?

The one that surfaced when she got kicked out.

Yes.

Tomorrow morning, Xpatch will release that video.

- Pardon? - I need to send the original footage to stop them.

Can I check the company's CCTV footage?

Well, I need the CEO's permission to check the CCTV footage.

There's CEO Kim. Ask him.

He's currently on a business trip overseas.

Right now?

Hyeon Cheol would never show it.

- What should I do? - What is this about?

Hey! Isn't Xpatch going too far?

Are you trying to destroy her or something?

- What? - Kicking her out was enough.

That wasn't enough, so you'd disclose the video?

The video you guys edited?

So, you're saying Xpatch will release the video of Kang Su Hyeon?

That shouldn't be released to the public.

Who's going around saying such a dangerous thing?

Why are you acting as if you're clueless?

Jang Hyeon Cheol turned that video over to them!

Jang Hyeon Cheol did that?

Without even telling me?

Is that it?

I mean, I don't know how things ended up like this,

but I don't want this exposed, either.

So I'm helping you just this once.

No, just show it to them.

You owe me one.

I found it.

The attire of the RAID members is the same as those in the video.

Do you think that talented kid is truly on your side?

Today, as well?

Today...

will be the last.

Jin Woo.

What are you doing, not getting ready?

Hyung.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

I passed the first round.

- And? - Honestly, I didn't think I'd make it.

But sometimes,

I wondered if it was possible.

So, I was really curious whether I'd make it or not.

And through that, I learned what it means

to be curious about something.

I think I like it.

I think I still like singing

and performing on stage

so much.

I guess that's why I was so curious about that.

So?

Hyung.

I'm sorry.

Jin Woo.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Go on a drive with me.

Hyung, I'm really sorry.

Or should we get something tasty together? That place we went to last time?

No...

I'm sorry, Hyung.

They're just playing around with you. Stop this and come back.

No.

I'll never come back here.

I told you that's a different world.

It's not a place for people like us to go.

Even if I regret it later, I want to try believing it. I want to...

at least try believing it.

But it's too bad.

Even if you go to Kang Su Hyeon,

she will turn her back on you.

- What do you mean? - Don't you remember?

The video? The video you secretly took of Kang Su Hyeon.

The video I paid you 50,000 won to take.

She got fired because of that.

What are you talking about, Hyung?

Didn't you say you'd give me pocket money if I took some pictures of RAID?

Yeah, that's right.

The pictures and videos you took

were used to get her fired.

I heard Xpatch will expose that tomorrow.

Then, she'll find out it was you who filmed her.

I wonder...

how she'll look at you, then.

You were the start of her misfortunes.

Will she just sit back?

Jin Woo,

that woman will abandon you now.

What you said to me...

I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

Come out of that house. Put it all behind you.

Yoo Jin Woo, lift your head.

Take your hand off of him. Do you know how much he's worth?

Why?

But why? Because of him, you-

That's right.

Because of him, I got fired from the company I spent my whole life building

and my family was put in a difficult situation.

My time, efforts, and relationships were ruined.

But you know,

in order for someone to fly, someone else must embrace them.

Yoo Jin Woo, let's go.

♫ On the way back home ♫

♫ I cast my feelings to the waning sunlight ♫

♫ I think about what happened with you ♫

♫ I am saddened by many thoughts ♫

♫ We can't even know right now ♫

♫ What's to come tomorrow ♫

(Gyeong Ha Na - Please watch this video, Han Young.)

♫ And tell you that everything will be all right ♫

♫ I feel like I can do something more for you ♫

♫ And I grow anxious ♫

♫ Your heavy shoulders and these long days make me sad ♫

♫ I hope something really good happens to you tomorrow ♫

♫ Because you deserve it ♫

♫ I sincerely hope that you will now cast off your burdens and be happy ♫

You will send this message to people.

Though you always struggled with worry and anxiety,

you'll overcome it and perform on stage in the end.

That you will achieve your dream.

♫ Even still, smile again ♫

♫ Once more, stand up again ♫

♫ Hunched-up shoulders don't suit you ♫

♫ You have us, shining brighter than the stars in the night sky ♫

♫ Don't hesitate and lift your head ♫

♫ Get up again ♫

(Namib)

Get your head on straight. Only think of yourself.

CEO, thank you.

Don't cause any trouble while inside.

The second round mission is a duet mission.

Aren't you going to sell Yoo Jin Woo once he becomes successful?

CEO, you can't call me to places like this.

You know the thing you do best. Editing.

Drop him.

What did you do to Su Hyeon this time?

Will he be okay? Your son.

What is it? Is something wrong?

These were found at the Gyoyeon Intersection accident.

If there's no one to punish you, I'll have to do it myself.

Why so serious?

I'm sorry.

What's with you?

Why are you doing this?

Yoo Jin Woo, my son's future is in your hands.
