[Episode 12]
I'm introducing you to Eye Candy's 2nd album's producer.
Yoo Seung Hoon.
Who's a producer for whom?
There's no need for introductions, right?
What kind of situation is this?
To market a high school band who writes and produces their own music,
we're looking to use a teen. So we need a producer like Yoo Seung Hoon.
We don't need him.
- Please change him out. - Why should I do that?
- Because it's obvious his work is garbage. - Yeah? What do you think?
Not sure. As long as they're willing to follow me.
I don't think there will be a problem.
Who's following whom?!
This isn't a classroom but a company. Don't you know the difference?
There's something you don't know, Director Yoo.
Do I have to concern myself about that?
It says here that in exchange for writing one's original song,
the producer is still the company's choice.
There's a condition that the party who breaches the contract must face the consequences.
Is that true?
There's no stipulation that states we have to use Yoo Seung Hoon, is there?
There isn't a statement that it can't be Yoo Seung Hoon either.
Do you have anything else to add?
I'm going to clear your schedules so you can start recording once the arrangement is set.
Just so you know.
- What do you think you're doing? - Working. Can't you tell?
Are you kidding around?
It'll be better that you guys quit before it gets too hard, like adults.
This is about work. I don't play around anymore.
I said not to act so haughty about it.
I wanted to do right by you guys. Acting all haughty.
Let me be the producer for Eye Candy.
Aren't you a bit too concerned about them?
I don't like mixing business with my personal life.
There's someone else I have in mind too.
Have I asked you for a favor before?
No. That's why I'm saying no.
I don't know what went on between you two,
but I don't want to see my brother nor my band getting hurt.
Sis, there hasn't ever been anything in my life that I've wanted this much before.
- You know that right? - Yeah, so why are you acting out of character?
But those guys took the one thing I wanted and cherished.
Just like that.
You're easy on them too.
A contract. The single. You've given them everything they've wanted.
- So what do you plan to do? - I won't ruin you.
I'll make sure they put out an impeccable song.
I don't joke around when it comes to music. I promise.
I just want to see them beg on their knees in front of me.
Would they fall on their knees?
I tried to break their pride and stop them at first, but they're stronger than you think.
For now, you've got a lot of power in your hands.
Yeah, that's true.
They're risky, but they came through.
You're saying that you want to rustle their feathers a bit.
Then, help me regain my pride a little.
Yoo Seung Hoon, that punk is doing this on purpose. To stomp all over us.
What do we do? We can't pay off the penalty fee. Know anyone rich enough?
It's all a bluff. He's just trying to scare us.
We didn't even get our contract money, what do you mean a penalty fee?
Let's rip up the contract and pack our things.
There's no way I can work under that punk.
But we signed the contract. And we'll get our contract money today.
- How much is the penalty fee? - That's right. It's three times as much.
Then how much is it?
- What should we do? - Do what? We have to practice.
- Hey, how can you say that right now? - Then do you have the cash?
Or you do want to be put to shame by that punk in the recording session?
But you have a way of making her feel lonely.
But you're nervous about me too, that's why you're doing this, right?
I wanted to do right by you guys. Acting all haughty.
Are you at work? Sorry I didn't pick up. See you at school.
Is he working right now?
- Seung Hoon. - Oh...
It's okay. Don't get up. Drink this.
I was so comforted after I heard you'd be the producer, Seung Hoon.
- Take good care of our boys, huh? - Yes, sir.
Good.
- You put one in too. - All right.
That's right. You're fools at school, but you should treat your producer right.
- Give it to him. - Seung Hoon.
- I don't drink coffee. - Yeah? Then I'll drink it.
I haven't slept so I need some.
Does this coffee have lumps in it? Or are they chunks?
You kids can't even mix coffee correctly.
- Let's start. - Hyun Soo's not here yet.
He came and went because of his schedule. In one shot.
- I hope you guys do the same. - He came and left?
Then you met him separately? You didn't mention that.
It's obvious you would have made a big deal out of it.
Let's just overlook it.
The other producers lost it because of this too.
Hyun Soo didn't say anything, just came to record and left?
I..well...told him you guys.. agreed to do that too... so I...
Teacher, what's going on? Whose side are you on?
You punk, what do you mean sides? We're all working together.
- So we're all on the same team. - Let's not waste time and start with the drums.
- According to whom? - According to me.
We'll come back next time and do it in one take.
- Do it separately. - I told you we'll go through it once!
Are you guys some kind of super band? You think you can do it in one take?
Recording is different than playing live. It's not over in one take.
You only think of yourselves and how you feel, right?
And it's not up to you whether you record separately or together.
It's my choice. As a producer.
Let's dub this part.
Don't overdo it. Or you'll ruin the rhythm. Again!
If you wanted to dance, you should have become a dancer.
A group can be ruined by one person who moves around too much.
Again!
The sun falls, you wake up
Right now Wake up
Are you chanting? No emotions, and the musicality is off.
Again!
Right now Wake up
You're flat and sharp. Your pitch is a mess. Again!
- Right now... - Again!
Right now Wake up
Again! Again!
Again!
Again! Again!
Right now Wake up
Again! Again!
Again!
- Let's stop. - What?
You don't want to do it. How can we continue if you don't follow any of my advice?
Don't waste my time, and contact me when you want to do it right.
Go in and rest.
Why do you all look so defeated?
Fine, fine. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.
Just so you know, Hyun Soo went home for a bit.
- Why? - He said he had family matters to attend to.
Go on.
Ah these punks, shrug it off.
Go out and play. I'm giving you special permission.
- Got it? - Yes.
- It's Hyun Soo. - That's right. It's me.
Why did you come now? I was really sick.
I'm sorry. Are you still sick?
No. The doctor said I'll get better once I get the surgery.
You'll get well soon.
- Where are we going? - My goddess Ye Rim is recording.
- Let's go and surprise her. - Forget it. You go by yourself.
- I'm going to go to the pool hall... - Hey!
I'm embarrassed to go by myself!
You liar! You're not shy around girls at all!
Let's go.
[You done with work? I'll visit you at home]
Don't do that.
Now we can wander around backstage.
Doesn't it feel like we've finally debuted? It's like we're celebrities.
You must be most excited that you can see your goddess Ye Rim anywhere now, huh?
That's true, huh?
How did this kid become so air-headed?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Stop it.
What brings you here? Did you have a gig?
No, I heard that you'd be recording, so I thought I'd drop by to see you.
I see. Is it only the two of you today?
Yes.
- Are you finished today? - No. I'm waiting to film.
Oh, I see.
Then, if you stay here, I'll go to get you a drink.
That air-headed...
- You're busy lately, yes? - Well. We were fairly free today..not really.
- Hyun Soo seems to be on TV often. - Well, he's in high demand...
- Hyun Soo must have a job today too, then? - Well, he does well enough on his own...
But why do you keep asking about what Hyun Soo's doing?
Do you like him?
The nearest convenience store was so far..
- There's one right around the corner. - Thank you.
It's cold out, so it's nice to drink something warm.
So frustrating. How frustrating!
- Hey, why are you guys here? - We were free today, so we came.
Do you know how many eyes are watching you here?
There are reporters crawling everywhere, and your team isn't all here.
They're having a field day outside.
What's wrong with that? We're in the same company.
So touchy.
Don't you know rumors about idol couples in the same company are a trend nowadays?
It might help you as rookies to get caught in a scandal with Ye Rim.
But Ye Rim's a girl. She could lose out big.
Why are you like that?
Let's go, Kyung Jong. I was mistaken.
I'm sorry, Ye Rim.
- We'll be leaving. - No. Don't worry about this.
No it's fine. We don't want to bring you harm.
Let's go, Kyung Jong. Then, have a good recording.
We'll be on our way.
- Give me one too. - What?
That. The thing you're always eating.
I don't have any. I only have one.
Always eating by himself.
- Isn't that Kwon Ji Hyuk? - Who's the girl?
- Hey, what are you doing? - Oh everyone's...
Whatever. Let's go.
Let's just go like this.
- Let's eat ramen. - Come inside a little later.
- What will you do if someone sees? - Why are you making such a big deal?
- I'm going to move. - Where?
- I'm looking into it. - That doesn't matter to me.
- It's because I feel uncomfortable. - Then... do what you want.
Call me whe you move.
- So you can help me move my stuff? - No, so I make sure you don't steal mine.
But when did you get off work that you're coming home so late?
When did I leave my place...
- I sent you a text! - You're the one who never showed up.
I went to go see a movie with a friend.
Because she said I changed because I haven't hung out with her.
I feel like I had fun like old times.
We used to watch movies together, stand outside the bookstore in the morning.
- Then you must have gone to the bookstore... - How did you know?
- There's a book that just came out. - Haruki?
Oh! How do you know that?
Eat the ramen by yourself. I lost my appetite.
What's wrong all of a sudden?
- Is it true? - Oh my God.
- Should I ask to get a gig? - What nonsense are you spewing...
If I film the same shows as Ye Rim, then it's okay that I'm with her.
You idiot. You moron. I'm going to hit you, man!
What? I want to go on a dating show with her or something.
Ye Rim and I are probably destined for each other.
And she's going to fall for me.
Fall for you, please.
- I don't like her. - Are you my mother-in-law?
- Why do you have to like her? - Anyway, it can't be her.
- I don't want to see you hurt. - Wanna die?
You're really dense. Didn't you catch on?
Ever since the coffeeshop, she only asked about Hyun Soo. Hyun Soo!
That's because she feels bad about hurting Hyun Soo!
Do you know anything about girls, man?
Forget it. Forget it. She's not the Kim Ye Rim you know.
Eye Candy!
Is it just the two of you today?
If you don't want to get beat up, leave.
Oh, that kid, really...
I came here to play pool, you punk.
Hey so I hear you guys are kind of popular now?
Do you see celebrities at the broadcasting companies?
T-ara's Ji Yeon, Eun Jung... have you seen them?
What about Kim Ye Rim? Kim Ye Rim.
- Is she really pretty? - Shut up.
Oh that kid...would Kim Ye Rim hang out with the likes of you?
We even go out on meals with Kim Ye Rim!
- Really? - Stop saying useless things.
Oh it's a lie.
Can you sign this for me?
[You like it, you centipede?]
Is this funny to you? Is it?
These bastards...what are you? You're not even joking around...
Yeah, Ji Hyuk.
- Where? - The Prince...
I'm on my way.
- Why's it so loud? - Well, we...
- S-s-since when have you been sitting there? - Ji Hyuk said to come back.
Go back first. I'm going to play some pool with Kyung Jong.
- I'm going in first. - Good evening! Good evening!
- Should we bet on something? - Not with you.
It's Ji Hyuk!
My honey boy!
- Why are you drunk? - Why are you coming now? I've been waiting...
- Today was an absolutely awesome day. - What's that?
Hold on a second.
- This. - What's that?
My stylist's license. I'm a real hair stylist now.
- I... - Okay, I got it.
- That's it? - Congrats, Woo Kyung.
Oh Do Il! You understand, right?
But Kwon Ji Hyuk. Do you understand?
You don't care about what I did to get this, do you?
- Huh? - So who told you to get it?
I'm already plenty tired without you... Stop it.
Who told you? I didn't want to lose face, I wanted to keep up with you, so I worked...
So take care of your own feelings!
Stop it.
Then you shouldn't have come to rescue me then.
You shouldn't have acted all cool and taken care of me! Huh?
Fine!
I won't do it anymore. Okay?
Are you going to stand here? I'm going inside.
- Take Woo Kyung home. - What's wrong with you?
Didn't you just hear her? She can't even take care of her own feelings!
Stop making her cry, you punk!
- You're back. - What you don't want to see me?
What are you talking about, man?
I always see this beautiful face on TV, and I missed seeing you in person.
I came to pick something up, but then something bothered me.
- I'm going again tomorrow. - You have a gig tomorrow.
- I have... a gig at home. - Are you practicing again?
I heard that you got the okay from Seung Hoon after recording once.
No, I'm going to record again because I'm not satisfied.
That kid was like, "Again! Again!" to us,
and bothered the hell out of us. But he gave you the okay after one take.
- So I told you to practice some more. - I'm starting tomorrow!
- I'll work hard. But Hyun Soo... - Yeah?
Do you run into Kim Ye Rim often when you have your gigs?
What kind of nonsense is that?
- Then, what do you think of her? - What do you mean what do I think of her?
Like if your heart races, or you think about her or something...
No. I'm not interested.
- Really? - Yeah. As if Ha Jin wasn't enough, you too?
Not me, not me. It's Ha Jin.
Ha Jin's not the type to act so nervous around girls,
but he comes air-headed around Kim Ye Rim.
And Kim Ye Rim only asks about you.
I was afraid the story might get weird...
Don't worry about such nonsense, and go to sleep if you're not going to practice.
Right?
But Ha Jin seems genuine this time around, so I'm worried for him.
As long as you don't like her, I guess.
I'm going to bed.
Hey! Stop right there!
- Excuse me. - He looks like a girl.
Is this something you can just bow your head at and be done with?
- Are you hurt? - Why? Are you going to make it better?
Hey, rather than getting hurt...
Hey, wait.
I think I've seen you somewhere. Right?
- Isn't he Eye Candy's drummer? - Oh Eye Candy!
- That's right. - He's got a pretty face...
The girls scream for you so you're blind to it all, huh?
I'm sorry.
- We're done, right? - What do you mean, done? Huh?
What? What? What are you going to do?
Because you're on TV, you're going to ignore the little people?
- Is that Eye Candy? - I think so.
If my face hadn't been sold on TV, you'd be a goner.
- I feel like I've seen him on TV. - You okay?
Why did Eye Candy come to school?
- We...kind of know them. - Huh?
- Who? - With Kwon Ji Hyuk.
I boasted that we're in the same class, and my academy friends asked for an autograph.
So go get it.
We've never spoken a word to one another. You think he'd just sign something for me?
Can you get just one for me, huh?
In exchange, I'll pay for dinner and a movie, just like last night!
Can you sign this?
- Muse! You want our autographs? - A friend wants one.
Her name is Ji Yeon. Ji Yeon!
If you can make it "To Ji Yeon" I'll be grateful.
[To: Ji Yeon - Eye Candy Kwon Ji Hyuk]
Did you watch a movie with her last night?
Yeah. Why?
- Should I do one too? - Thanks.
What's with your autograph? I told you to practice.
Wow, it's amazing.
Thanks.
- It's Maro. Maro. - Maro?
Really!
What? What is that?
Oh it's a lollipop!
Oh it's grape? I like strawberry.
You were totally scary last night. I quivered in fear.
I know Woo Kyung's done a lot for us. I know how she looks after us.
Just like a mom.
How could you know and still make her cry like that?
I only learned recently too.
That not being able to return someone else's heart makes me the bad guy.
You learned that just now?
I'll say.
I wish Woo Kyung would stay a part of our family.
So I can't help that she's upset right now. Because it could have been worse.
You crazy punk. You worry about everything.
Why don't you take care of her? She always tells you what she's really thinking.
Don't try to push it off on me.
I'm not sure if I'll be enough.
I called you two in today to talk about a duet for Ye Rim's new album.
I hoped that you, Hyun Soo, could help us out.
- A duet? - From your vocal training, you can sing well.
And I think your tone matches with Ye Rim's quite well.
If I sing, it will be for Eye Candy's full album.
That's a good idea, but you're doing solo activities...
I don't have any desire to go solo.
You've been doing a lot on your own, so what makes this different?
That's different because I'm acting as a representative for Eye Candy.
Then can you help out just once....?
I can't.
Then I'll pretend that this discussion never happened.
Director Yoo, an urgent matter. It looks like you have to go to the studio.
What now?
I should have asked for both of your permissions first, but that was my mistake.
Let's talk about this later.
Let's go.
Hey.
- Can't you consider it once more? - Why should I?
- Because I want to collaborate with you. - Do you still like me?
- It's not just about that... - Forget it. Since I'm not doing it.
Look for someone else.
Ha Jin seems sincere about you, so I'd rather not tell him that you like me.
I hate being caught up in complications.
Yeah. When's her surgery date?
Do you think I'm not going to worry because you tell me not to?
What about the surgery fee?
I told them to take out our security deposit.
I thought that wasn't enough.
Just worry about yourself.
That again. Okay. I'll go tomorrow.
He's on the other side of the glass in the recording studio.
That kid causes me so much stress, just the thought of him makes me disgusted.
Should we tell them that we won't record if they don't change producers?
Tell them that we can't work with him. He doesn't fit us, or something like that.
- Then what about our album? - Does it change if it comes out later?
It was ridiculous that Yoo Seung Hoon was assigned to be our producer in the first place.
Threatening that we'll be breaching the contract...
- Might as well fire him. - Is there something he's been doing wrong?
Are you on his side because you finished your recording in one take?
Did Yoo Seung Hoon do something wrong to us in the recording studio?
Are you putting that bastard ahead of us?
It's a song. It's our song. Does it change with some producer?
- Will it die? - This punk...
- Even if it takes us all night... - You guys never practiced seriously.
- Stop it, man. - You shouldn't hold them back.
You're the biggest problem.
Where do you think you're going after that rant?
- Home. - Hey!
- You think Director Yoo will listen to you? - She let us use our own song. We just need time.
I don't have that kind of time. Stop doing whatever you feel like.
If you're a leader, then start acting like a leader and think like one.
- You think Director Yoo will listen to you? - She let us use our own song. We just need time.
I don't have that kind of time. Stop doing whatever you feel like.
If you're a leader, then start acting like a leader and think like one.
[Seung Hoon]
- Hello? - Where are you right now?
- I'm working. - I finished a new song. I want you to hear it.
- Just like old times. - Today?
Yeah, today. Come by after you finish work.
- I'll treat you. - Where do I need to go?
- The recording studio I work at. - Recording studio?
You're going to come right? You used to come by often.
The sun falls, wake up
Right now wake up...
Again!
Say what you want then and stop repeating yourself!
Put more feeling into the chorus.
The sun falls, wake up
Right now wake up
Again!
- What now? - Now there's too much feeling.
It sounds old-fashioned. Tone it down.
And it's not that you're without emotion?
- We wrote this song and the lyrics. - So?
Tempo, volume, pitch, you can do what you want for those.
Only Eye Candy knows these feelings. Let's go again.
Don't cut me off this time.
Right now wake up
- Thank you for your hard work. - Good job.
- Where did he go? - Someone came by for him.
I'm saying this while he's not here. But he's something, isn't he?
As if you didn't know they were siblings. He's just like his sister.
Siblings? Who?
You didn't know? Director Yoo and Seung Hoon are siblings.
When did this come up?
Ever since Eye Candy's showcase.
We tried to stop it, but the rumors are circulating,
and it's hard to track via text messaging.
Then we should counter it. Let's take care of it.
Set up a press conference and make a list of questions.
So that we can use this chance to show the world the gentler side of Eye Candy.
Let's take care of it with a showcase too.
- Did you enjoy it? - What are you talking about?
Did you enjoy knowing that Yoo Seung Hoon is a part of your family.
No one else would give you guys a shot. So I asked my brother. So what?
It might be because he's your brother.
Are you like this because we're siblings?
I don't my emotions interfere with my work.
Letting him work with us is an interference of your emotions.
There hasn't been any problems in the recordings.
But, what issue do you have with my brother?
What? You're going to rip up the contract again?
That won't work anymore.
The recordings are done and we only have the showcase left.
You're Eye Candy's leader. Take responsibility for it.
Then watch how I take responsibility for it.
Can you be responsible for this too?
Don't think you can have it all.
What's this?
It wasn't enough that he was chasing you that you're following him around now?
- It's not like that... - You can only say 'It's not like that..' huh?
Why are you so sensitive about it? She's just a friend visiting.
I hate things that are complicated.
Be clear about it.
Don't go.
I think I know now why you called me here. I'm disappointed in you.
Kwon Ji Hyuk. Stop right there.
You said you'd come, but you didn't, and made me wait up all night.
You don't answer my calls, or respond to my texts.
I look at my phone countless times, and I never get a call from you.
You think that's the issue at hand here?
I get it. It can be an easily misunderstood situation.
But it's not what you think.
I was sorry I couldn't accept him, so I came by as a friend.
Because he's my childhood friend, just like how Eye Candy is to you.
- You rejected him? - I did. But do you know something?
But at least my friend Seung Hoon acknowledges what you and I are.
- What are you talking about? - You told me to be clear. But what about you?
Your friends? Woo Kyung? Is there anyone around you who knows about me?
You be clear.
I'll tell them everything.
That I like you. I'll tell my friends.
So stop hanging out with that bastard. I hate seeing you with him.
So they did whatever they want because they're siblings?
They gave us the script yesterday.
As long as we stick to it, Director Yoo said we'd be fine.
It'll be fine, right? Right?
When did we start listening to what Seung Hoon's sister - that witch told us?
I'm sorry. About this issue about my father.
Hey hey, don't worry about it.
We're not without problems, but it's not like you go around creating it either.
It fits our character descriptions though.
Who worked so hard to maintain our image? You can't just let it fly away.
Let's just stick with what we've practiced. Huh?
This is the showcase for Eye Candy's 2nd single, "Wake Up."
Let's begin with the questions.
This is our second question. How has it been producing this album?
This time around, we've written the song ourselves.
Lee Hyun Soo, you've had lot of solo activities. Do you have any plans to go solo?
No I don't... I'd rather focus on Eye Candy.
I have another question for you.
Do you have an ideal type within girl idols?
Not in particular, but a little while ago, someone said they were a fan of our music.
It's Kim Ye Rim, so I'll choose her as my ideal.
You were friends before you debuted, what were they like before?
We caused a bit of trouble before...
But we were better at music than at fighting.
- Within one of your members, his father-- - I'm sorry.
That's a private question. Another question, please.
- Then is an opinion question okay? - Yes it is.
I'd like to ask Kwon Ji Hyuk.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Must I answer that question?
Then how about this question?
There's a picture of you and this girl coming out of a home.
Is it true, you're living together?

It doesn't suit you.
- You look like a man. - It's not bad.
It looks cute. Like a kid.
Looks good.
