(Namib)

(The entrance to the press conference room)

If only you had held

my Yoon Hee's hand like that.

I'm taking Yoo Jin Woo with me.

Yoo Jin Woo, do you think you deserve to be in such a bright place?

I'll take you.

To a world that suits you.

(Namib - Episode 11: Goodbye)

(TA Entertainment)

You will take Yoo Jin Woo with you?

You've already made a fool out of this company.

You made a mess of their company,

and you'll just take him with you?

We've already decided

Pandora will take Yoo Jin Woo.

How much is it?

CEO Lee, the price that Pandora offered you is still a loss to you, right?

Well...

Since CEO Jang is taking him despite the opposition from his company,

he couldn't have made you a high offer.

It isn't his company anyway.

How about this?

I'll pay you back everything I got for him.

Let me take Yoo Jin Woo.

Will you be fooled by CEO Kang Su Hyeon twice?

Just get the full refund instead of facing a loss.

It is true that I've lost trust in CEO Kang Su Hyeon,

but it's also true that the amount you offered is small, CEO Jang.

The deadline set by our company for Yoo Jin Woo's release is in a week.

That way, it won't hinder our new group's launch.

So,

I'll hand him over to whoever brings me

the money first by next week this time.

I will see you in a week.

You should have Yoo Jin Woo leave the dorms, considering there was that incident.

Let's go.

You don't want to come to our house?

It's not like that.

CEO,

Ahjussi,

I don't think I can sing anymore.

Yoo Jin Woo, you frequented nightclubs, right?

Is that how you release your pent-up stress?

Please give us a statement of how you feel!

Yoo Jin Woo, just give us a statement!

Yoo Jin Woo, please give us a statement!

- Gosh, what is he doing? - Don't even talk to him.

He's really not doing anything.

Don't look at him, don't look at him.

I can't seem to make any sound in front of people.

Now, when I'm in front of others, I...

no, even when I'm alone, I can't seem to sing.

It just doesn't come out.

If I can't sing anymore, I'm useless, right?

Since I can't even perform on stage,

you don't need me anymore.

Yoo Jin Woo.

I still need you.

I've dreamed of having a trainee while doing this work for a long time.

After starting this work, I've waited a long time to meet my best protege.

Jin Woo, you are that protege.

Don't worry.

(Yoo Jin Woo's "Sing Again" Project)

I wondered what they were doing all through the night.

In the end, Yoo Jin Woo returned to our house.

With Yoo Jin Woo's return,

we decided to sell my factory.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't sad about it,

Why can't I cut it?

Since it was my first time working hard on something in my life.

Gosh, what is that sound?

Yoo Jin Woo!

What are you doing?

Jin Woo.

You're awake?

Aigoo, you take after your mom when it comes to cooking.

Leave it. I'll do it with Yoo Jin Woo when he wakes up.

- What about Mom? - She's at the office.

Yoo Jin woo will be releasing a song.

Really?

Since he says he can't sing, I can fix that for him.

You should get ready, too.

Get ready for what?

Tell Ji Young to come, too.

Ji Young?

Tell her to come quickly.

Ji Young...

(Accepting Songs)

(Accepting Songs - 1. Male Solo. Deadline: October 26th. Release date: November 7th. )

(Style: Dramatic progression, emotional vocals...)

A child who is trying to overcome his pain and start again.

A song for everyone striving to move forward in the world, even if they aren't perfect.

Could a kid like him be successful, too?

(Concept Description: A child who is trying to overcome his pain and start again...)

What great weather.

Yoo Jin Woo.

Hello.

Let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

You should go.

Let's go.

Come this way.

Here. That's right.

Aigoo, nice.

Take my hand.

Nice.

Do we keep going this way?

Be careful.

Nice view, right?

Who prepared this?

Yoo Jin Woo and me.

Yoo Jin Woo, if things don't work out as a singer, become a chef.

Okay?

That won't happen.

CEO Kang is preparing a song for Yoo Jin Woo.

A song for me?

Ahjussi, I...

Are you really going to be a chef?

I mean, that's not bad, either,

but Yoo Jin Woo, you came to our house.

As a trainee, you chose to come to not just any house,

but our house where my wife and I live.

We are only doing what fits us best and comes most naturally to us.

Don't think too much about it. Okay?

Yeah, I'll help you practice.

Come to the factory.

It's so spacious, but there's nobody around.

Wouldn't a place like that have good acoustics?

Are you saying we should sing and dance next to sock machines?

Yeah.

Just eat.

It's not a good idea?

It's good to see you smile.

How could we do it there?

Who would dance and sing at a sock factory?

Eat up, eat up.

That's right.

So he knows how to laugh.

But isn't it okay if you just sing at the sock factory?

Can you do it?

(BNA)

Hello.

- Producer, are you all right? - Producer!

- Producer! Oh, no. - Oh, no.

Producer, are you all right?

- Call 911, 911. - Gosh, what do we do?

- Call quickly. - Don't call them.

Don't call them, please... Don't do it...

What are you saying?

- Hurry up and call 911. - Call, call.

"Who would you think of first if you win?"

I'd think of my fandom, Davely, who helped me to get to this point.

Gyeong Ha Na, we will air just stock footage without a separate interview.

I think I remember that the most.

The anxiety and nervousness I felt before going up on stage...

was indescribable.

When is your turn?

This business hasn't changed one bit.

Let's go.

I will stay true to my first intentions...

What are you doing? I said, let's leave.

I'm not leaving.

Why not?

I feel like I won't be able to come back.

If I leave this place, I don't think I can ever come back.

- I have something to tell you all. - Hello.

Hello, I am Lee Gi Young, the chief producer in charge of Star Rise.

Producer Park Ji Cheol has ended up leaving Star Rise

right before the final stage due to a scandal.

The final stage will be filmed under my direction.

Star Rise had a lot of controversies as it had attracted public attention.

We've had much internal discussion about

whether it was good to even film the finals.

We should wrap things up with the finals stage for the sake

of the contestants who've participated. Right?

All right, we've got one week left.

Please do your best until then.

Okay.

Yes?

I'm at the police station right now.

I told them

what happened at Muse.

- What? - I passed out,

and when I woke up, police detectives were around me.

Damn it, I had no choice.

I told them everything.

You know, the police...

will soon come to you.

This is the factory.

Let's go.

Mom says she'll sell this place to bring you back.

She was in such a frenzy to buy this place for my sake, and now...

she's in a frenzy to sell it for your sake.

Your mom told me to just think about myself,

but she doesn't think about herself at all.

Hey, I'm so sorry about this.

We aren't selling this factory for you.

It's for my mom.

For the CEO?

Yeah.

If I end up working here,

my mom can't become happy...

since it will only confirm that I got hurt because of her.

I want to set her free

from thinking that she needs to take responsibility for my life.

And...

I will go down my own path.

You'll really do something else besides running a factory?

Yeah.

You should also work hard and help my mom live comfortably.

If you don't become successful,

she'll chase you around forever to take care of you this time.

That's really tiresome, you know.

I'm going to the academy.

- Go on home first. - Hey, Jin Woo.

I also have something to tell you.

To be honest,

I tried to use you at first,

so I can sign a contract with the CEO.

Ji Young told me you were being bullied,

so I told her I'll protect you if she takes me.

You were carrying that in your heart all this time?

Yoo Jin Woo, you should be level-headed.

Shim Jin Woo.

Did you have a good talk with him?

Yeah.

You did well. I'm sure it wasn't easy.

I also did it.

I told the company I was quitting as a trainee and left.

After everything, I'm right back where I started.

I did it for eight years,

and there was nothing for me in the end.

Contestant Yoon Ji Young who made it to the main rounds at Star Rise.

- What? - You've got that.

An experience of trying your best.

You got to experience that.

How many people our age have been a trainee,

entered an audition program, and made it to the main rounds?

This is my final product.

I'll give it to you.

What should we do now?

What else? We're students, so we should study.

Studying doesn't suit me.

You're supposed to study even if it doesn't suit you.

I don't want to. Isn't there something else?

- Something else? - Yeah.

Then read.

(Mode Real Estate Agency)

Thank you.

It's been a while.

I was shocked when I heard you were selling it again.

Something came up.

But I'm glad to hear someone is interested despite abruptly letting you know.

When the CEO said she was buying this factory,

there was actually someone else who wanted to buy it.

Oh, that's good.

But that person wanted it at a certain price.

It is a bit...

What was the price?

It was at half price.

Half price?

Yes.

He said he'd buy it if it was half the price that you two bought it for.

As you probably know, a factory like this doesn't have a market value.

At least he said that he can make the payment right away.

You should take that into account.

We've got three days left.

Hey! Bong Gyu!

Here, here, here.

Hey, why are you suddenly acting like we're buddies?

- Why did you ask to see me? - Hey, your coffee is so tasty.

What's this?

Wow, I kept thinking about this taste.

Gosh, what did you put in this coffee?

- Hey. - What?

- Bong Gyu. - What?

Do you have money?

What?

I asked if you have some money?

Am I getting mugged? In my own cafe?

I'm not mugging you.

Please help me out.

We're trying to bring Yoo Jin Woo back,

but we're lacking a bit of money.

I hear you invest in various places, right?

You should invest in us. How about it?

Well, please invest in us.

Why would I?

You're right. Why would you invest in me when all I did was housework?

I don't even expect that of you.

But you should consider my wife, CEO Kang Su Hyeon.

You've heard from people at Pandora, right?

CEO Kang looks at the trainees' eyes to almost an excessive level.

Do you know why she does that?

I heard she's looking to see if they're a sociopath.

That's not it. It's not.

She did that even when I was at the company.

CEO Kang wants to see into the future of the trainees.

Rather than someone who can be profitable right away,

she chooses trainees who can sustain themselves after becoming adults.

She knows how to look that far ahead.

Even if we can't earn you a lot of money right away,

you won't regret it.

I'm telling you, you won't regret it.

Hey,

you know that Jang Hyeon Cheol is trying to take Yoo Jin Woo, too, right?

Do you know why?

He's determined that Yoo Jin Woo is profitable even though he's down and out.

He's an expert in that field.

He knows what happens at the bottom of the

entertainment world and where the money flows.

Though your offer seems interesting,

it doesn't seem like it'll be profitable right away.

Jang Hyeon Cheol's offer

seems risky but profitable immediately.

Bong Gyu...

Damn it.

Hello.

(Hong Jung Hwa)

(Executive Producer: Kang Su Hyeon, Record Producer: Shim Jun Seok)

- Are you going to buy it? - Geez, scared me!

- Will you buy that? - Who are you?

Were you watching me here like this?

I was watching to see if anyone was buying my album.

I see that you're a big fan of mine.

Geez, it's not like that.

I really thought both my album and I would

be forgotten in a corner forever like this.

Let me ask you one thing.

- Why was it Kang Su Hyeon? - Huh?

Did Kang Su Hyeon pay you more than other companies?

Were her conditions better?

What was your reason?

Because I liked her.

Gosh, that's it?

That's your reason?

You did business with her because you liked her?

This isn't business.

Then, what is it?

It's my life.

Su Hyeon was the only one who asked about my dream.

Being an executive producer is that kind of work.

Making someone's small, trivial

and unrealistic imagination a reality.

Even if money is important,

someone dreams a dream

and another makes that a reality.

That's what's important.

Sign it for me.

Your name?

Oh Bong Gyu.

- Wow! This is amazing. - You can use it to wash like this.

I wonder what they're so happy about.

Pen!

Pen, pen! Pen. Pen!

Where's a pen? Pen! Pen, pen!

Where's a pen? Pen!

Damn it!

(Playlist)

Yeah.

Unni.

That man's here again.

But...

But?

Mom is happy

because Dad is here.

Is it okay for us to stop this

when Mom seems so happy?

He wants to pay for the hospital bills as well...

Never mind, Unni.

I'll hang up.

What is it?

Oh, dinner?

I came empty-handed. Just wait a moment.

It's not about dinner.

Yoo Jin Woo...

I thought of a way.

What way?

Tell the real estate agent that we'll sell the factory at half-price.

And ask to be paid immediately.

What about the rest of the money?

♫ I know many moments have made me ♫

♫ I look at myself in the mirror ♫

♫ I embrace this moment even more ♫

♫ I cross the stairs of my memory ♫

♫ I swallow my tear eternally ♫

♫ I remember my dreams ♫

♫ I'm always enough for today ♫

♫ Though I can't know, live tomorrow as today ♫

♫ Smile again ♫

♫ Just like right now ♫

You're late.

I definitely told you that I'll sell him to whoever comes first.

When you receive the contract from TA, deposit the money right away.

What?

Jang Hyeon Cheol.

The Board of Directors unanimously voted to dismiss you as the CEO as of today.

You know the reason and procedure for dismissal,

since you saw it happen during Kang Su Hyeon's dismissal, right?

Will you be able to fire me?

The amount of poison I released into this company isn't small.

I am cutting you out before that poison spreads further

and makes the company useless.

CEO Kim, do you want to ruin your son's life like this?

Your druggie son.

Do you want him to live as an ex-con at such a young age?

You should protect your son!

That's right. I should protect my own son.

This is the Narcotics Unit of Gangnam Police Station.

I am CEO Kim Dong Jun of Pandora Entertainment.

I want to report a drug offender.

Pardon?

Okay, please tell me.

Kim Jin Hyeon.

It's my son.

This is how I protect my son.

Hyeon Cheol, don't become more miserable.

The more misery you cause others,

the more miserable your life becomes.

Tell Kang Su Hyeon

that I'll show her what true misery is like.

Thanks.

I didn't do it for your benefit.

I felt like it would also hurt me if I let that crazy bastard be.

I'll be going.

Now, your contract with TA has been taken care of.

Really?

CEO Kang sacrificed a lot.

She sold the factory and...

Call her yourself.

Thank you.

What is it?

I'll pay you back.

I'm the one who borrowed this money.

Don't contact Su Hyeon.

Is it that difficult for you guys to bow your head once to your parent?

Have you ever considered her as your daughter?

You two do not have a normal parent-child relationship.

Why were you...

Why were you so mean to her?

Do you know how much she suffered, unable to tell anyone,

living with a crushed heart like that?

Still, I am her father.

She should apologize to her father first.

With this money,

I will save a kid who's like a son to us.

Thank you.

I will...

pay back the money

by the deadline.

You know Producer Park Ji Cheol, who was investigated for

manipulating an audition program, right?

He passed out from drug withdrawal symptoms, and he confessed.

What did he confess?

That he took drugs at Muse, the nightclub you run.

Yes. Muse.

There, I can get drugs,

and I am provided a space to do it.

You believe the words of a druggie?

Investigating solely on what they tell you is problematic.

I don't believe everything they say. I do check.

I do check for myself.

Is it true that drugs are dealt with or taken at Muse?

It's false.

Then, how about this one?

After taking drugs at Muse,

we all went to Sheon Hotel.

In one car, there were about five of us.

And another car had someone who looked like a high schooler

with a handsome face driving it.

This is all nonsense.

Words of a druggie cant be evidence. Why are you doing this?

Then, let's check.

Nightclub Muse is undergoing search and seizure right now.

Who are you guys?

We are the police.

We are carrying out official duties. We ask for your cooperation.

- Start the search. - Yes, sir!

Please move aside.

Please move.

- Gather anything that may be evidence. - Okay!

Did you find anything there? No.

Move.

I said, there's nothing there.

Come on. You can't do this.

- Sir, it's over here. - Okay, Detective Oh, Detective Kim.

(Copying 31 files from CCTV to USB Drive)

(77% complete)

What's this?

Damn it!

Yeah.

Okay, you can return.

Jang Hyeon Cheol, you will be summoned again soon.

Don't go anywhere far.

Okay.

Let me hear that one more time.

- Hear what? - The recording.

After taking drugs at Muse,

we all went to Sheon Hotel.

In one car, there were about five of us.

And another car had someone who looked like a high schooler

with a handsome face driving it.

What about the CCTV files?

I stashed it away separately.

Listen to me carefully. You'll do this from now.

Delete Muse's CCTV files

and make everyone agree to say Yoo Jin Woo did it all.

We have nothing to do with this, and Yoo Jin Woo did everything.

Buying and dealing drugs was all his doing.

CEO, we don't have the evidence to frame Yoo Jin Woo.

If you, Park Yoon, and I all testify the same thing,

the police would have no choice but to investigate Yoo Jin Woo.

The moment he is investigated for drugs, Yoo Jin Woo and Kang Su Hyeon are finished.

Why didn't you tell me?

That the car accident was caused by Yoo Jin Woo.

Han Young.

What's left for you?

Money?

People?

If you care for Yoo Jin Woo,

do you think he'd take care of you for life?

Will an aspiring celebrity

take care of a friend going to jail for dealing drugs at a nightclub?

Bring me the CCTV files.

Got it.

- Follow him. - Yes, sir.

Hyungnim.

Give me the CCTV files. The CEO is asking for them.

Get him!

Stop right there!

Hey!

Hey!

Damn it!

- Chase him. - Okay.

Get him and bring him to me now!

Star Rise Producer Park was arrested.

He probably mentioned Jang Hyeon Cheol.

Does Jang Hyeon Cheol know about

Yoo Jin Woo's car accident that you covered up?

What will you do now?

I will protect Jin Woo since he's my younger brother.

I don't abandon people like you-know-who.

No matter how CEO Jang tries to insist that it was Jin Woo's doing,

Park Yoon is a druggie, and CEO Jang is the suspect.

As long as I disappear, the police won't believe him.

Isn't this what you wanted to hear?

You only care about Yoo Jin Woo.

I'll disappear for a few years,

so don't worry.

You're wrong. I didn't come to hear this.

Didn't you come for Jin Woo?

I came for you.

Will you run away like this?

Jang Hyeon Cheol could frame you for it.

Things won't end by running away.

For me, Yoon Hee was like that.

It always haunts you if you don't face it properly.

- Turn yourself in. - What?

I'll help you. With an attorney or anything else.

You want me to turn myself in?

After I was released at 19, do you...

do you know what I went through?

Like an abandoned dog...

I wandered near the company countless times, hoping they would take me back.

Since I didn't know how to do anything,

I endured curses and humiliation

to finally rise to be a manager at the bar. And now what?

Turn myself in?

Damn it.

Why should I?

All right.

I was wrong.

Sending you out into society when you hadn't even reached 20...

I will make things right now.

Damn it...

- After all this time? - Yeah.

Even though it's late.

Damn it...

Damn it...

Chris.

Chris...

You were going to abandon me anyway...

You were going to abandon me. Why did you give me a name?

Han Young.

Lee Han Young.

That was a great performance by Dave.

Now, we will see a performance by another candidate for the win, Ha Na.

What will Ha Na's performance be like?

- Please welcome her with your applause! - Go.

♫ At one time, I wished I'd disappear from this world ♫

♫ The days when I would cry every night because the whole world was so dark ♫

♫ I thought maybe I'd feel better if I just disappeared ♫

♫ I was afraid of the eyes of everyone watching me ♫

♫ Because I hurt beautifully during those beautiful days ♫

♫ Because I hated myself so much for being unlovable ♫

Jin Woo.

Hyung.

Buy me some food.

Okay.

Do you remember them?

The guys we used to dorm with.

Jun Ho, Sang Hyeok, and Min Seok.

Do you know what they're up to?

What are they doing?

Jun Ho went to the military as soon as he was released.

He recently went on a military show.

He was a hit with people saying he was handsome.

So, he started his own YouTube channel.

And Sang Hyeok used to get in trouble all the time for not maintaining his diet.

Maybe he was obsessed with food because of that.

He started doing mukbangs, and it was a hit.

Wow, I see.

And you remember that guy, Min Seok, right?

He got in trouble for hanging out with his girlfriend all the time.

But do you know what he became?

- A pastor. - Really?

Yeah, seriously.

That bastard is the holiest one of all.

Jin Woo.

What were those days?

A few kids barely over ten were gathered,

and they ate and slept together,

and sang and danced all day.

Are they good times you want to return to, or...

hellish times that you don't even want to remember?

For me, I'm still not sure.

Jin Woo.

Kang Su Hyeon...

is sincere about you.

Listen to her well.

Hyung, why are you like this?

And you coming to Muse, and what we did together-no...

knowing me and everything else...

That never happened.

Understand?

What do you mean?

Why would you say that?

Jin Woo.

Take care.

Yoo Jin Woo?

We have evidence and the victim's testimony. No point in denying it.

Please hand over all the rights to Yoo Jin Woo.

Though he has hit rock bottom, I'm certain about him.

Aren't you curious what kind of world awaits you when you meet an even greater ocean?

These are my conditions.

Why do you think it's only Yoo Jin Woo's story?

What's your plan after releasing Yoo Jin Woo's song?

- Yoo Jin Woo, shall we get started? - Yes.
