(Children were filmed under production guidelines.)

Jin Woo.

Soo Hyun...

truly cares about you.

You better listen to her.

What's the matter?

The fact that you came to Muse, what happened between us,

no,

the fact that you knew me.

It all didn't happen.

Do you understand?

What are you talking about? Why are you saying this?

Jin Woo.

Take care.

(Episode 12: A Long Trip)

Good work.

Thank you.

Jang Hyun Chul is behind all this?

He invited people he held grudges against to Muse...

and made them do drugs.

In the process, did you also...

I transported it...

and used violence.

Do you know what you just said could be used against you?

Whatever Jang Hyun Chul says,

the truth is here.

Your attorney is here. You may talk with him.

Come in.

I'm Attorney Han Dong Joon...

from Law Firm Jeil.

(Han Dong Joon)

Ms. Kang sent me.

Mom gave me an allowance so we could hang out.

No. This is enough.

One of Dad's friends is a famous attorney.

He's in charge of the case, so don't worry too much.

Jin Woo hasn't talked about it since then.

I wasn't sure if he found the answer,

but he looked more comfortable.

And...

there's another person who needs to solve an issue.

Is there anything you're looking for?

- This one. - Just a moment, please.

I'll show you.

Thank you.

- Is it a gift? - Yes.

For your wife?

- The CEO. - The CEO?

It's pretty.

I picked it up on my way home.

This is not it.

Let's be friends.

I don't think this is right either.

(You have a new message.)

(Mail)

(Kang Soo Hyun: To Composer SJS)

Did she like it?

(I enjoyed the demo.)

There you go.

Okay!

(Let's meet.)

She wants to meet?

What do I do?

I look like a cab driver.

Okay.

I think...

she'll recognize me.

Ms. Kang Soo Hyun.

She won't recognize me.

Ms. Kang Soo Hyun.

SJS?

Take it off.

- Did you know? - Did you think I wouldn't?

This is ridiculous.

I like the song.

Really?

- Is it okay? - It's so good that it's baffling,

especially the lyrics.

Anyone would think...

it's about Yoo Jin Woo.

- Why do you think so? - Sorry?

Why do you think it's only about Jin Woo?

(Divorce Petition)

Jin Woo said...

I was a desert.

A desert?

But...

he's the sea.

There's land like that in Africa.

Namib.

Namib?

Isn't it amazing?

The desert and the sea met.

They just met like that.

It's a great combination.

Yoo Jin Woo.

Look up.

The one who is stubborn and the one who never listens.

It's a good combination.

- Who knows? - Sit up straight.

The two of you might do something.

The lyrics...

are about you.

And...

I want to apologize...

for asking for a divorce.

It's pretty.

Let's...

start again.

- No. - What?

I don't want to accept your apology.

- What if you don't? - Bring the document.

I'm going to stamp it.

Why are you being like this?

Are you really going to do this?

Gosh, give the ring back to me.

No. You can't give it to me and take it back.

You said you wouldn't accept my apology.

Do you want to get a divorce then?

That's not what I'm saying.

My goodness.

Come on.

Oh, gosh.

- Will you accept my apology then? - No.

Okay.

Shall we begin?

Jin Woo. Shall we do it?

Yes.

Please turn off the backing track.

Why didn't you sing?

I'm sorry.

Come out.

Well...

When I try to sing,

I keep hearing the sound of my heart beating.

And I keep thinking...

about the horrible things...

people said about me.

- You think they're all like that? - Sorry?

Do you think everyone will think so?

Those who wrote that you were a bully posted an apology.

The misleading articles were also corrected.

(Lately, my joy has been watching you on the show!)

(I like you so much. So please cheer up always!)

Look at you objectively.

And don't act like the main character of a tragic drama.

(Late Jang Yoon Hee)

(Late Jang Yoon Hee)

Mr. Jang Hyun Chul.

The audition program "Star Rise" ended amid controversy.

Many people were particularly interested...

in whether Ha Na who allegedly manipulated the show would win.

Today, her agency, Pandora Entertainment,

announced that Ha Na has been dismissed from the company.

- Kyeong Ha Na is a trainee... - Let's go.

from Pandora Entertainment who participated in "Star Rise."

She made it to the finals and took second place.

There was a statement from Mr. Lee Han Young...

that the drug distribution and violent incidents...

that occurred at nightclub Muse were orchestrated by Mr. Jang Hyun Chul.

We're going to interrogate you regarding this matter.

Is Mr. Lee Han Young's claim true?

- Mr. Jang Hyun Chul? - Why did you do that?

If you had done what I told you to do...

Before Yoon Hee died,

I asked her...

why she became a trainee...

of this company, of all agencies.

Kang Soo Hyun dragged her into...

No.

She said she trusted her brother.

She said she would follow you no matter what.

All right. Mr. Jang.

Tell us what you think about his claim.

He will exercise his right to remain silent.

Jin Woo. Let's go to school.

What? I have a recording session today.

Mom wants you to go to school today.

Get changed into school uniform.

- What? - School uniform.

Okay.

"Engaging."

"Engaging."

Ji Young.

- What are you doing? - Studying.

- Studying what? - Jin Woo.

Students have a world of their own, which celebrities don't know.

(May every stroke of the pen lead to the correct answer.)

It's nice.

- Try it. - Oh, no.

He's here. Hurry up.

- Hey! - Hurry up.

Come here.

He's coming.

(Congratulations, Yoo Jin Woo.)

- Yes! - Yes!

Come on!

Welcome back.

- Jin Woo. - Welcome back.

Jin Woo.

Let's take a picture.

Let's take a picture together.

- Me too. - Move over.

I want to take a picture too.

Okay.

I'll take a picture.

In 1, 2, 3.

Congratulations.

(Yoo Jin Woo, we hope you walk the path of flowers only.)

- One more time. - Let's do it again.

In 1, 2, 3.

(Yoo Jin Woo, we hope you walk the path of flowers only.)

Congratulations.

Jin Woo, you're here.

Shall we begin?

Yes.

Jin Woo.

People want to hear your song so badly.

So do we.

Let's do it.

Well...

Mr. Kim will resign from his position as CEO.

Gosh.

Kang Soo Hyun was kicked out and Jang Hyun Chul was fired.

And Mr. Kim will resign.

Who should I appoint as the CEO of this company?

Well...

How about doing it yourself?

What? Are you crazy? Are you telling me to do it?

Bad things might happen to me as well.

At this rate, it'll become more and more of a burden.

We must find a way to revive the company.

Can you think of anyone?

Oh, that one.

Who?

That one.

We're not close enough to have fried chicken and beer together.

Do you own this restaurant too?

Yes.

- Really? - Do you believe that?

I frequent here.

Try it. It tastes good.

Hey, this is amazing.

Why don't you get some takeaway?

- Three chickens to go, please. - All right.

There are two men in our house.

Thank you...

- for dismissing Hyun Chul. - I didn't do that for you.

Hey.

- You! - Goodness.

Do you want to be Pandora's CEO?

No.

I took too long a break, so I don't think I can do it.

Oh, my goodness.

Thank goodness.

I said it on a whim,

so I was worried about what I should do if you were to say yes.

I'm quite impulsive, you know.

Sorry about that.

Why, you little...

Hey, I don't want to do it,

but there's someone I want to recommend.

- Who? - Someone with a proven record...

who's been in the industry for a long time.

- Nice. - Someone charismatic...

who can bring order back to the chaotic company.

Who's this person?

Kang Soo Hyun.

You need Kang Soo Hyun back at Pandora.

It is the best solution for the company.

But Kang Soo Hyun...

doesn't listen to anyone.

- That's right. - She does as she pleases...

- and is stubborn. - Exactly.

She's a CEO who makes investors very uncomfortable.

There are times when she makes me uncomfortable too.

To have her back as the CEO of the company,

we'd need someone who could keep her in check by her side.

She can't have the title alone. They should be co-CEOs.

Co-CEO?

Who'd do that?

Someone who can keep Kang Soo Hyun in check...

and keep me and the board updated on what she's up to.

Oh, like a puppet CEO and a spy?

And you think you can find someone to do that?

- Goodness. - Yes, I know someone.

You.

How about you take the co-CEO title...

and keep me updated on everything she does?

Are you saying I should become a snitch who spies on his wife?

- It's perfect. - I won't do it!

- I know you want to do it. - No, I won't do it.

(Ddobong Fried Chicken)

Yes, please take care of it for me. Thank you.

(Finish and send out the press release.)

(Check the album release date and the event schedule.)

(Album release date)

(Checklist)

- Honey. - Yes?

You checked to make sure that the song's been registered, right?

Yes.

The press release to be sent out on the album release date...

- You checked that too, right? - Yes, of course.

- What's the matter? - What?

It's nothing.

What I'm doing is so awful...

If we get any requests to cast Yoo Jin Woo, let me know right away.

Okay, will do.

What will you do, honey?

The song will be released tomorrow,

so I have a lot to do.

I mean, after you finish everything.

When you first got Yoo Jin Woo...

and when you got him back after selling him,

you always had a plan.

Once his song is released,

then what?

What's your plan after that?

But still, smile again

And stand up again

Get back up

Smile again

("Smile Again" by Yoo Jin Woo, November 7, 2024, 6pm KST)

- What's wrong? - I'm just worried.

About what?

If things don't go well,

Mr. Sim...

I mean, Producer Sim will be hurt.

Also...

It'll be released at 6pm, right?

What should be the goal for it to be considered successful?

It'll be impressive...

if it falls anywhere near the top 100 on the 1st day.

If it breaks into the top ten list,

everyone will go wild and want him on their show.

It means the song can top the chart if he's lucky.

If the song tops the chart, you could get an award in December.

But...

I'd say that's impossible.

It'll do well.

Yoo Jin Woo.

What's gotten into you? You won't say something depressing?

It's just how I feel.

No matter what ends up happening,

I feel like I'm on the right path.

Well, that's how I feel now.

- Hello? - Are you Yoo Jin Woo?

Yes.

I see. Okay.

- Is everything okay? - What?

- It was the police calling. - Why? Because of Muse?

No, it was about something else.

- I have to go. - Should I tell Mom?

I'll take care of it.

So, it's not a couple of people. Fourteen people...

- got scammed... - Why is this a scam?

If there's a profit, they'll get it! I told you!

Right, that is a scam, ma'am!

Are you sure your son knows about this?

Is it really true?

Mr. Yoo Jin Woo? You're here.

Your mother told a bunch of people...

that she was organizing your concert and received investments.

Did you know about this?

No.

The concert never happened,

so the investors reported your mother for fraud.

I called him.

He didn't answer my calls.

Is this true?

May I talk to my mom for a minute?

Yes.

Mom.

- My song has been released. - What?

My song.

I'm a real singer now.

(Thursday, November 7)

Here.

("Smile Again" by Yoo Jin Woo)

Mom.

This was our dream, remember?

Me becoming a singer.

It was your dream too.

My dream?

When I was little, you took me to agencies...

because you wanted me to become a singer.

So, this means...

our dream has come true.

Mom.

Help me...

so I can stay on this path.

(Hot Chart)

(Number 173)

What? Number 173, that's it?

Do people not like the song?

Well, I guess I didn't sing it well enough.

Number 173 isn't bad.

It's not bad?

What? Did you think it'd top the chart?

Get ready for your schedule.

Okay.

She doesn't think it's bad.

By next week, you'll break into the top 100.

Yes.

"Smile Again" is such a great song.

Tell us a little bit about the song.

Through my song, "Smile Again,"

I wanted to positively inspire many people...

and impart the message that you can always smile again...

no matter what kind of hardship you may be going through now.

Jin Woo.

You must've experienced some hardships yourself.

How did you overcome them?

There are people who really believe in me.

So...

when I saw their eyes,

I got my strength back and could sing again.

So many people absolutely loved the show, "Star Rise."

You were my favourite contestant on the show, Jin Woo.

Jin Woo, when did you start dreaming of becoming a singer?

Well...

I think it happened very naturally for me.

I'm...

the happiest when I sing.

That's great. With that happy energy,

Yoo Jin Woo's new song, "Smile Again,"

will be revealed for the first time on "Lulu Live."

(Every Wednesday, Wednesday Market)

Hunched shoulders

Don't suit you at all

Director.

How about we use this song in the background?

- What song? - Yoo Jin Woo's song.

Let me hear it.

- Isn't it nice? - Yes, I like it.

Hey, have you checked out the song, "Smile Again?"

It's Yoo Jin Woo's song.

- Yes, you knew? - Hey, of course.

I love the song so much. I listened to it all day yesterday.

Hey, I'm totally hooked too.

I don't even know how many times I listened to it.

Hey, guys! Look at the chart.

(57. "Smile Again" by Yoo Jin Woo)

- Amazing, right? - Yes.

Tomorrow?

Okay, we can make that work.

All right.

Ms. Kang.

- Yes. - Thank you.

- For what? - Pardon?

What are you thanking me for?

Oh, the chart...

Did you top the Billboard chart or something?

Why do you look so touched?

You're right.

You're going on "Music Sketch" tomorrow.

The live music show. You know, right?

Tomorrow?

An artist suddenly cancelled, so they need to fill a spot.

- Get ready. - Yes, ma'am!

- Hello? - Ms. Kang Soo Hyun?

So we meet like this, at last.

Congratulations.

Yoo Jin Woo is great.

He's just starting out.

I checked and learned that you took in Yoo Jin Woo...

and trained him yourself.

After leaving Pandora together,

you handed him over to TA but got him back.

You made a big sacrifice in that process.

I can't imagine myself doing something like that.

You made such a decision, knowing you could suffer losses.

"Suffer losses?"

That doesn't quite explain it, does it?

Let me ask you one more time.

That offer.

Does it still stand?

You said you'd sell Yoo Jin Woo to me.

Yes.

Once his song is released, then what?

then what? What's your plan after that?

I'm going to hand him off to the best agency in the country.

You'll give up Yoo Jin Woo?

Very well.

We all saw his potential during the audition.

Then he hit rock bottom...

but produced results and proved his charm.

Now, we're convinced that Yoo Jin Woo can make it big.

Transfer all of the rights you have over Yoo Jin Woo.

We'll compensate you for your losses.

Write down the amount you'd like.

(Artist Transfer Contract)

- Are you sure? - Yes.

(0 dollars)

If you need to pay me for this deal,

the company will be pressured to recover the principal...

and anxious to cover all the expenses.

I'll hand him over without expecting anything in return.

Instead of paying me,

convert that into time and invest it in Jin Woo.

Even if he seems a little lost for a while,

please wait for him.

That's my condition.

(Mega Entertainment will pay 0 dollars.)

Mr. Jang Hyun Chul.

You admit to distributing 1,000mg of opium, right?

You're guilty of drug possession and dealing...

and of providing a place and aiding and abetting.

Do you realize that?

We have evidence and a witness statement as well.

Denying it won't help you in any way.

Yes, I did it.

Can I go now?

Mr. Jang Hyun Chul?

You are Ms. Jang Yoon Hee's brother, right?

You know this man, don't you?

Is he claiming that he's a victim too?

No, it's not about that.

At Club B in Cheongdam-dong,

a female college student was found unconscious.

You'll never catch him.

Even if he kills someone...

or is found with drugs all over his body,

he manages to get away.

This time, it'll be different.

The victim was a trainee at Mega Entertainment.

The entertainment agencies' CEOs went public with the case...

and asked the prosecution to investigate it.

Especially...

Ms. Kang Soo Hyun. She's taking the lead.

She told me I should meet you.

She said...

you lost your family in the exact same way ten years ago.

I heard your attorney had been informed about the investigation.

I guess your attorney didn't tell you.

So, tell me.

What happened back then?

(Ga Young, Kim Bo Ra, Yoo Jin Woo)

(Every Saturday at 10pm, Live from Sing Art Hall)

("Music Sketch")

Yoo Jin Woo will be on the show today.

- Really? I like his song. - Yes.

Should we buy some flowers?

Let's go.

("Music Sketch," Ga Young, Kim Bo Ra, Yoo Jin Woo)

Hey, I met Oh Bong Gyu.

He wants us...

to come back, as co-CEOs.

Everything's been taken care of.

He's just waiting on us to make up our minds.

I won't go back.

But we founded the company.

They're waiting for you.

I met the best trainee I could ask for and did my best.

Did you?

Are you ready?

- Your bouquet's ready. - Okay.

Thank you.

Yoo Jin Woo.

Give me a moment.

You don't have to tell me now.

Wouldn't it have been great if we'd met sooner?

A few YouTube clips, a few interviews,

a stand-in on a music show.

That's the extent I can do for you.

- What? - I'm too small...

to help you spread your wings.

Mega Entertainment called.

They want you.

You found me a great song...

and things are going so well.

This time, yes. But what about afterward?

One of Mega's singers topped the Billboard chart recently.

You have the potential to do the same.

You're the best kid I ever saw.

I want to see how much you can grow.

Don't you want to know...

what kind of world you'll meet...

when you reach bigger waters?

Bigger waters?

Yoo Jin Woo.

Will you watch how I do?

Wherever I am.

I'll do my best.

Yoo Jin Woo.

Goodbye.

Good job.

- Well done. - Thank you.

Mom.

(Mom's going on a trip.)

(I told your dad already.)

(It's an important time for you, but I trust you now.)

(Call Grandma every now and then.)

(There's a lot I want to say, but I'll keep this letter short.)

(I'll be back for Christmas. I love you, son.)

Mom said she'd be back for Christmas.

But it's been two years, and she isn't back yet.

Fail.

(2 years later)

Darn it.

Pass!

- Eye drops. - Mr. Sim.

Goodness.

I get all the weird CEOs.

Kang Soo Hyun said this was how you find a star.

Since when did we pick kids who can stare longer than you...

instead of kids that people would love?

What are you even thinking?

Shut your mouth and leave.

Darn it.

Oh, my gosh. You pass too.

Give me that.

(Joongyoung Penitentiary)

(Keep orderly)

- Let's go, Han Young. - Where to?

- Anywhere. - What?

Fly up high, fly away

Higher and higher, toward my dream

You must be busy.

I'm a typical cosmetics company employee.

Do you want some water?

Goodness.

Hey, it's me.

What's up?

Are you still wondering whether to take the offer?

To be a vocal trainer at Pandora.

I don't sing anymore.

Our CEO Sim Jun Seok wants me to tell you he has been waiting...

for two years now.

- I'll think about it some more. - Okay.

Why did you lie about not singing anymore?

She keeps calling.

- I don't want to work there. - Why not?

Things got messed up whenever I was there.

What will you do now?

Someone told me...

running away wouldn't be the end of it.

Whatever I do,

I plan to stick to the straight and narrow.

Well,

if you can't manage on your own, I could help you get there.

No. I'll go on my own.

Christmas Eve's coming up and Mom wants to see you.

Okay. I'll be there.

Did you get something for the girls?

Yes, I did.

Here you go.

Our daughters will be so pleased.

Take a look.

You got this for the girls?

- What's wrong with that? - Oh, come on.

Do you think an eight-year-old girl would like this?

I'm sorry.

You should show them more attention.

Okay, I will.

This is for you.

- It's pretty. - Here.

Try them on.

It's a good fit.

They're warm.

(How do I draw this bit?)

Oh, this part?

(How does it feel to listen to a song?)

Your body can feel many kinds of vibrations.

At the end, it feels like getting hit by a huge wave.

(My gosh...)

Yes.

You should feel it for yourself one day.

(I will!)

(Yoon Ji Young)

You haven't forgotten today's Christmas gathering, have you?

(CEO Sim Jin Woo)

- Mr. Oh Bong Gyu? - Yes, Ms. Hong Jung Hwa?

How dare you join us?

"How dare I?"

The CEO and employee of a company I invested in are here.

And so is a singer I adore.

- Hold your glass. - Okay.

Did you hear about Yoo Jin Woo?

He returns tomorrow.

From his world tour?

I heard it was huge.

We shouldn't be rejoicing over his prowess.

Our agency's kids are a mess.

That's a good point.

When does Yoo Jin Woo's contract expire?

Can't we get him?

What about Soo Hyun?

Will she be back for this Christmas?

I don't know. In the letter she wrote...

she'd be back for Christmas.

We thought she meant the Christmas that was a month away,

but this is the third already.

What on earth is she doing?

Hi, Ha Na.

Wait. What?

The music teacher's here.

Oh, gosh. Her boyfriend's here too.

We need two more glasses!

Are you here to eat today?

Yes. I came to eat.

- I also brought a guest. - What?

- Merry Christmas. - Yoo Jin Woo!

Yoo Jin Woo!

Look at you.

- You look great. - How did you make it?

- Hello. - Ask him about his contract.

Shut your mouth.

Did you get us all a gift?

You look so fit.

- Do I? - When did you fly in?

Hello.

- What's this? - Are you well?

All the time abroad changed how you look.

- Look at the shoulders. - When did you arrive?

Hey, it's snowing.

How did you make it?

Something got cancelled, so I flew in a day early.

It wasn't because you missed us?

A bit?

Where's Ms. Kang?

Wasn't she going to be home this Christmas?

Yes.

I came over to see her.

I don't know.

- You don't know? - She's still alive, though.

I hear from her sometimes.

A while ago she said she was in Southeast Asia.

You're wrong.

A while ago she told me she was on Mount Everest.

- What? - That's weird.

When we talked a while ago she said she was studying in a library.

What on earth is she up to?

I'm the only one she hasn't contacted.

She will one day.

Let's drink.

- Yes, let's drink. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Let's drink.

To everyone here.

You're drinking at an amazing speed.

- You two should get married. - Yes.

You look great together.

Don't be silly.

- How dare he? - It's like the Last Supper.

- Yes, you're right. - The Last Supper?

Let's eat and drink.

- I hope nothing bad happens. - What?

Mom must've changed so much.

You're drunk already?

She must have a lot of filling up to do.

Why do you two look so distant?

- Come on. - It's natural.

It's not.

Today's special guest is Yoo Jin Woo.

We talked about his ten-year training period,

his TV audition, and the road to his debut.

This is my last question.

What comment gave you the most strength...

on your journey?

Well...

Someone told me I was their best kid.

That gave me the most strength.

Who could that person be?

Sorry.

(International Arrivals)

- My gosh. - Let's take a photo.

It's pretty.

- One, two. - It's so nice here.

Stand over there.

- I want one too. - What?

(Yoo Jin Woo Fan Meet)

(Yoo Jin Woo Fan Meet)

(Yoo Jin Woo Fan Meet)

(To Hyun Jung, Yoo Jin Woo)

(Yoo Jin Woo Fan Meet)

Thank you.

Hello. What's your name?

Yoo Jin Woo.

Chin up.

Shoulders straight.

Look at me.

(Yoo Jin Woo Fan Meet)

(Yoo Jin Woo Fan Meet)

(To the best kid)

Smile again

Time flies and so does life

And we lose our way

I pretended to be fine

But the day was crammed with loneliness

What's beyond the end?

Is this the right way?

At the end

Will we be happy?

But still, smile again

And stand up again

Hunched shoulders

Don't suit you at all

The day you spent today

Sparkled brighter than the stars in the sky

Don't hesitate and lift your chin

Get back up

Smile again

When you can't keep falling down

When you can't keep tearing up

You still got through it

Because you're stronger than anyone

Smile again

And stand up again

Stay strong and take

One more step forward

You might not have noticed

But your smile is now calloused

Without a single worry

You can smile now

It's okay

(We hope you find bigger waters and a wider world.)

(Thank you for watching "Namib.")
