Shut Up! Flower Boy Band
Episode 9
I don't know what to do either.
What don't you know?
I don't know whether this is right or wrong.
My head feels like it's going to explode.
I'm going crazy...
liking you.
Oh, I could die of embarrassment.
- Hey... - Hey...
Were you going to say something?
Congrats on signing your album contract.
It's nothing. What's to congratulate?
- What about you? - Huh?
Didn't you have something to say?
Yeah. The company told us to move into their dormitories.
Is that so?
I guess it's because they're a big company so things move pretty fast, huh?
When are you going?
Tomorrow.
[Episode 9]
Feels great to be living together, doesn't it?
From now on, this is our house. Sweet home!
Home sweet home!
How do you know that, punk? It could also be hell.
Do you think we can stick it out?
What are we going to do if we don't stick it out?
Let the album get flushed down the drain?
No! It can’t get flushed down the drain.
My mom framed the contract and put it up in the store.
For now, let's go in. We'll worry later.
Home! Home sweet home!
- Wow. - Wow.
Wow!
Who are you?
Unpack your things in 30 minutes then head down to the training room.
Quickly.
Quickly!
There are two rooms.
Oh.
We booked this room. Get lost.
Go go, get lost.
In that case, rest comfortably.
We're not kids anymore, what's with the bunk beds?
Hyun Soo, do you want the top or bottom?
Bottom.
Okay, take the bottom.
You take the single bed.
Isn't it a little dry in here?
Hey, what's all these?
Is there a wardrobe? Is there?
What do you want me to do about it?
That messy slob...
Since you're two hours late,
for the next 20 days, other than for school, you're banned from going out.
Banned from going out? What is that?
Suspension, expulsion, probation;
I've heard all those. But banned from going out...
That's new, right?
It really feels like we're in idol training, doesn't it?
Until the single is released, you will follow this schedule.
We've arranged it so that you only go for core classes.
But what have you kids been doing in school,
that your teachers are so happy about you attending class less?
They couldn't handle us, so they must be delirious with joy when we're not there.
In any case, this is not a place where you can do as you please.
Just keep in mind that if you break one rule, a worse rule will take its place.
If you're going to talk rules, then it won't be long before we pack our bags.
Wow, this is...
Looks good.
Oh. This is state of the art!
I look cool, right?
Sweet.
Who are you?
I am the drummer Jang Do Il.
I'm the drummer. I am Jang Do Il.
Try smiling when you're saying it.
Show your teeth, till they see your front teeth.
Haven't you seen actors doing it?
Don't strum too hard. Do it lightly like this.
- Place your fingers here. - It won’t sound good if I don’t strum it hard.
Aren't you guys waking up?!
What kind of battle do I have to wage every morning, huh?
So why are you bothering us this early in the morning?
I would really love just a bit more sleep.
Today you guys have to go to school. So get the rest to hurry and get ready!
Hyung! I thought you said we could skip school here and there.
Why are you doing this now?
You need minimum attendance to graduate, don't you?
Do you want to get thrown out?
Yesterday, you said it's fine not to go regularly, so why are you changing your tune now?
Fine, let's go. It's been a while.
Huh? Why go to school all of a sudden?
What do you mean all of a sudden?
Students should go to school. Isn't that right, Hyung?
Hurry up! Wake up and get ready, we're going to school!
Sunbae, is it true you got signed?
Wow, news spreads fast. Thank you.
You're still wearing this ratty old thing after signing the contract?
What?
What did you do with the signing money?
This is this season's newest and hottest item.
It smells, Punk, get it away!
Smell? The smell of perfume?
What?
Nothing, just hot.
Where are you going?
Toilet.
You just went!
That shitty guy!
Hey you, clueless! There I was, signaling you like crazy...
- You should have just said something. - Forget it.
Has anything happened?
What things?
Nothing, just that the person who used to live next to you and watch over you has left.
You, watch over me?
Sort of.
Don't worry, I'm doing very well by myself.
Please, who is worrying?
And you?
You're doing well in the dorms and not causing trouble, right?
What do you mean, trouble? Am I a kid?
Anyway, if anything crops up call me.
If you miss me, call me. And take care.
This is the first time you're meeting Seung Hoon, right?
I finally get to meet the genius songwriter.
It's all thanks to the singer who matches the songs I write.
Let's sit.
Mr. Composer. You attend the same school as Eye Candy, right?
Yes. What about it?
Ye Rim is a fan of Eye Candy.
She's been star-struck since she heard they've signed on.
Ah, I see.
Mr. Composer, it seems you're not very close to the Eye Candy boys.
In any case, put your heads together and try to come up with something great.
Yes. What? Another one quit?!
Why can't he handle a bunch of kids?
Fine, this time, Manager Park, go down yourself and sort out Eye Candy.
Settle it on your own!
What's the matter?
Nothing much.
From now on, you can't go anywhere alone.
Stick to the schedule. No cell phones...
Hello. Yes, okay.
You've signed and stamped here, and accepted a signing fee.
Unless you intend to pay the termination fee and give up on the album
you can stop the antics.
As stipulated by the company...
The company methods are strange, aren't they?
We're a band.
You only give us a pea-sized bit of time to practice and make us do so much.
But, fine, we're only going to be here till the single comes out,
so let's not make it difficult for each other.
You need to look at the big picture!
Think of it as the company looking out for your potential.
It's our own potential, so we should be the ones looking out for it.
Why is the company doing that?
That is so that you boys can release a proper album and make your debut.
Why can't you see that?
So you're saying that if this single does well, we could get a long term contract?
Well, that is in your hands.
When are we actually recording?
The recording session has been set for ten days from now.
But if you guys continue to behave like this, we might push it back.
This is your last warning.
For now, we'll follow the company's methods or whatever.
But don't make us do those weird things.
Weird things? Like what?
Acting, dancing, that kind of thing.
This is why you're so stiff on stage.
Your vocals have no acting skill.
- Look over here. - No, no, no...
What on earth?!
It's curly, curly.
Do mine.
Whoa! Oh, no! He's had that hair since he was born.
He has never cut it. You can't cut it.
I have to show my mom this new style.
Thank you.
Why is there so much?
Are these accessories or weapons?
You don't like it?
Hey Kyung Jong, try this on.
It looks like the Jung Sang school uniform! No way!
I don't want to wear it.
Hey, if the Eye Candy kids are being groomed by HR Entertainment,
they'll probably shake off that cheap air, don't you think?
Is this you complimenting them?
No, well... Truthfully, they're very different from before.
What has changed?
In the past they were totally beneath us.
Now they're a step away from being at our level.
Then again, they still have a long way to go to follow in Seung Hoon's footsteps.
Must someone follow someone else?
They are doing their own things, and Seung Hoon...
Hey. Did Seung Hoon not see you, or was he pretending he didn't see you?
What?
Did the two of you fight?
Hey! Treat Seung Hoon better!
Seung Hoon has been so good to you!
And here you are taking Eye Candy's side. Ugh.
You're kicking your own luck away!
What is the busy songwriter doing here?
Let him be. Can't he come by once in a while?
Don't you know that this practice place is for bands only?
That punk is not in our band anymore.
Leave the practice room keys and go.
Are you so bent on winning, that you'd go this far?
Hey, Yoo Seung Hoon!
Whom did I play the bass guitar for?
How could you do this to me, huh?
Is all the time you spent here with us so easy to throw away?
I've realized that spending a lot of time together isn't the most important thing.
After knowing what a long time really means, one will feel like shit.
What the hell are you talking about?
Stop with the abstract shit and tell us straight what the problem is!
To find what I want, I'm starting over.
How long do you two intend to live as my lackeys?
What? Lackeys?
Know the limits.
I don't think I can just send you off with a smile, at this rate.
I don't care.
Are the preparations for the album going well?
You're too interested in our business.
Yes, I'm interested in you guys.
I'm going to watch and see how high you can go. Do your best.
We're not doing this for you to see, so go about your business.
I heard you're in the training dorms.
So I guess Soo Ah is alone.
Do you think you can protect Soo Ah to the end?
Please just mind your own business.
I worry if it's bearable
because it's hard for me to endure
I don't know what love is
- Because I don't know, I keep shrinking away - How is he?
What about him?
Ye Rim is preparing for her solo act, right?
There's a duet after that, so I'm thinking of putting them together.
Why him?
I can see the ambition in his eyes.
His vocals are quite powerful, He has just been overshadowed by Kwon Ji Hyuk.
I think we're good.
Hold on.
Hello.
I can leave, right?
How do you feel about the song?
Why do I have to tell you?
If you like it I'll give it to you.
If you want to fly high in this place, I can be a good ally.
It's yours?
No wonder it felt corny and clichéd.
Oh, and one more thing.
Even without singing your songs I will make it, so watch and see.
So he does have the desire to fly high.
Give me one.
What the heck, you scared me! I thought you were a female ghost.
I'm so used to sleeping on the pool hall couch, I'm more comfortable here.
I think there's something wrong with me.
I keep getting scared by something here.
Do Il.
What's this?
Oh, I packed some side dishes, kimchi, and your favorite snacks.
Wow! This place is amazing.
Oh! Food!
This dog-nosed punk... Seriously.
Why are you trying to stop me?
Hey, Ji Hyuk!
Don't just keep stuffing your own faces. Call Ji Hyuk out.
Ji Hyuk isn't here.
This late at night?
Where did he go?
Don't know.
Me neither.
Gosh, it's cold.
What are you doing here?
I left something at home.
Is that so? Go get it then.
Hey.
What?
You're just leaving?
But you're not here to see me, so what do you want me to do?
It's friggin' freezing cold! And I'm hungry.
So you put the soup seasoning in first?
The strangest things amaze you.
I finally understand how Christopher Columbus felt, discovering things.
Who is that?
The landlady. Come out for a sec.
I feel sorry for a student living alone so I don't really want to say this,
but those gangsters kicked up a fuss about your rent deposit today.
I was so scared I thought I'd die.
If those people come again, I'm going to have to give them your rental deposit.
Is it done? Let's eat.
Yummy.
Is it fun there?
It's all right. I don't really know what I'm doing there.
Isn't it huge that Eye Candy's music is going out into the world?
I'm really looking forward to that.
Will people like it?
Before you've even debuted, look at how many fans you have.
It's not because they like our music.
It's just that the video sparked their interest.
Though thanks to that, we're releasing a single.
Don't you know why people like you guys when they watch the video?
The look you all have that says, "I love this to death. "
"I'm going crazy feeling this high and having this much fun. "
On top of that, it's not just you alone, you're all like that together.
I think that just makes it even more powerful.
Eye Candy offers all that.
So, it's nice.
It makes me feel excited, somehow.
You're head over heels for me.
What?
It's very late.
Don't stay up late falling hard for me, and go to sleep early.
You're quite narcissistic, you know?
I'm off.
Wait a little longer.
Forget it. I'm busy too.
What's this? Are you looking down on me too?
It's true you don't know how hard I've been working lately, do you?
I'm preparing for the beauty salon license,
and enrolling in a stylist academy.
I'm even picking up English.
Really?
I have to prepare for the future too.
Ji Hyuk has already made it that far.
I feel if I don't start catching up with him, I never will.
I'm off!
I'll take you home.
Oh no, you'll get into trouble if you go out at night. Hurry back in.
Flowers wither again The wind blows
Once again, it's bitterly cold.
It is giving off a boring vibe.
Try doing it a bit more gently and put more bending into it.
Okay.
- Let's do it again. - Okay.
Flowers wither again, the wind blows
Once again, it's bitterly cold
Then and now,...
Do you realize you're just reciting the lyrics?
That ass is doing it on purpose, isn't he? To make it hard on my goddess.
Doesn't anyone come to mind when you sing the lyrics?
Stop it, Punk.
Try feeling the lyrics more this time.
The winds blows
Once again, it's bitterly cold
Then and now, it's the same rain
but as ever, it's unfamiliar
All day long it pours down on me
Until this rain stops
I'll endure once again
- Sounds good. - I think this is it.
"Sounds good. Sounds good. "
I should have become a composer. Then I can control the singers like this.
My goddess has fallen for me now. This song is meant for me.
Hey you idiot, come to your senses!
If you're going to cause a disturbance, please wait outside.
That ass is the most annoying of the batch.
The recording went well. Let's go.
You guys are Eye Candy?
How does it feel, sitting in on a professional recording?
Speaking of which, where are the rest? Aren't there five of you?
I'm worried since you're rookies.
Go in and set up.
Let's go.
Don't be nervous.
Who wrote this song? I heard you composed it yourself.
Yes. Is there a problem?
The chords are a mess, so clean it up and we'll try again.
You can't do a recording based on feel.
No. There's no way I'm changing that song.
Are you guys musical geniuses? What arrogance is this...?
Look here, Ahjussi.
I don't know if it's being arrogant, but we know what we are doing.
And this is the song that represents Eye Candy.
Eye Candy's song?
What the hell kind of music is that?
All you know is how to be arrogant.
If you got in based on your looks then you should do as we tell you.
What did you say?
If you got in based on your looks then you should do as we tell you.
What did you say?
Is there a problem with making music with our faces looking this way?
Exactly. Do you think we're really here only to be eye candy?
Forget it. Let's not listen to him. Freaking irritating.
By tomorrow, you either convince me of that genius music of yours,
or shut the hell up and we'll do it my way.
When he suddenly asked that, I had no clue what to say.
Hey, you guys. Are we really like that?
Hey, truthfully all we've done is play around all day.
Have we ever thought of what the industry standard is around here?
Is there a need for that? As long as people like us, it's enough.
No way, punk!
Didn't you hear what that ahjussi said?
If the next time he asks that and we can't answer him,
Byung Hee's music is going down in flames.
Hey. Do you think a band's core music style is something you can get in a day or two?
We don't have any power so we can't even say it definitely has to be done our way.
What are we going to do? Forget it!
Ji Hyuk is the leader. He'll figure something out.
Hey, you thick-headed fool!
You've been hitting me a lot lately.
We're not getting anywhere. Sleepy.
This is a problem.
Yeah. I'd really hate it if someone were to change Byung Hee's song.
Hey. This comic book is about a band.
Should we stay up all night and finish the series?
Who knows, the perfect words to describe our feel may appear.
Don't use the word "feel" everywhere, idiot.
Look at Hyun Soo, Dude.
What?
A guy who doesn't smile at all when he's awake; why is he like this when he's asleep?
What is he dreaming about? Is he crazy?
Eye Candy's song? What the hell kind of music is that?
Then why are you in a band?
Because I like it.
What? Because you like me?
Aish. Because I like it, you punk.
- You are loving yourself lately, look at that. - He's completely loving himself, it's not even a joke.
Do Il. What kind of music would Byung Hee have wanted to play?
Why don't you think about the kind of music you want to play?
The songs we play are written by both Byung Hee and you, remember?
What? I like being in the band with you.
"I'm going crazy feeling this high and having this much fun. "
On top of that, it's not just you alone,
you're all like that together.
I think that just makes it even more powerful.
That must be it, Muse.
Do you have something to say?
Yes.
Fine, but let me go first.
Once the recording is done we will be starting the promotion activities.
These are the questions that they will most likely ask during interviews.
Read through them and memorize the answers. Pass it on to the rest as well.
I don't know. We aren't that smart...
Ah. And this is Black Heart's digital single album cover design.
- We were going with the powerful... - Hold on. What did you say?
- What, the powerful image? - No, "Black Heart"?
Did you really want to make your debut with the name "Eye Candy"?
That is a nickname only neighborhood kids give themselves.
Who decided this?
I did.
Is Eye Candy yours?
I think it is.
Isn't it that because it is mine that I want to make it the best?
You leave me speechless. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said.
I thought that Kwon Ji Hyuk would be embarrassed of the name Eye Candy.
"Eye Candy". Isn't it just saying that you are good looking?
Doesn't it embarrass you?
What's wrong if we're that good?
Fine. Let's put this aside until you record your single, and we'll talk about it later.
So what was it you wanted to talk about?
We have no interest in staying with you beyond this single.
So if you want to twist and turn our music at will, we'll take off.
You can become popular all by yourselves? Are you that confident?
It's not that we are confident.
But if Eye Candy doesn't stay the way it is now, it will lose its meaning.
So even if all you have to do is be a little less stubborn,
you don't want to think about the future?
I don't care if people like us, or how we're going to live in the future...
I don't know about those things.
I'm not even thinking about what "rock spirit" is.
All I want is to make music with my friends,
have a whole lot of fun and feel excited about it, that's all.
We'll think about the future when it comes.
Why are you so fixated on your friends?
Because without them, I have nothing.
Fine.
Let's think of this single album as a test of your potential.
For now I'll see how far you boys can get without my intervention.
Thank you.
And I will also see how long you boys can carry on without any greed or ambition.
A lot will change.
Yes.
He's going to ask us again, so what do we say?
Making a few changes may not be so bad, don't you think?
Hey. So you're saying we should let someone mess with what Byung Hee made?
These people are professionals.
It's not like they're rewriting the song. It's just tweaking.
That punk must be interrogated.
What? What's there to interrogate?
What did you dream about last night?
I don't dream.
Liar! You, punk, were yesterday obviously...
Hey hey. Stop fooling around and let's practice.
But where is Ji Hyuk?
Where is Kwon Ji Hyuk?
You're impressive. You even managed to persuade Director Yoon.
Must be that face working its magic.
Since when has Director Yoon been the kind of woman to be swayed by a pretty face?
It's been a long time, PD.
What are you doing here?
Director Yoon asked me to come see what these kids are up to.
It's good that you're here.
Please talk some sense into the Director.
How can we not even edit it?
Just start recording.
What?
To bring out the raw feel, just start recording.
Do I have to repeat what Director Yoon said?
Oh, and don't split them up by parts. Just record them all together.
The moment I laid my eyes on you, my head spun and time stopped
I cannot see whether the signal is green or red
There is nothing else I need
my heart just wants to go to you
My love is you
Without thought, I race to embrace you
Just the way I am, like this...
Without fear, I race to you and embrace you
Whenever I see your beauty, my... my... my heart just thumps
Do you kids know what you did today?
Full of attitude...
Well, it's something we all do in our youth. I'm off.
Why does that ahjussi keep appearing randomly, saying something, then disappearing again?
He said we're full of attitude. But at least we have looks.
Five, four, three, two, one.
It's there, it's there!
Byung Hee's song is finally out in the world!
The moment I lay my eyes on you, my head spun and time stopped
I cannot see whether the signal is green or red
There is nothing else I need
my heart just wants to go to you
My love is you
Hey, aren't you going to turn it off now?
Why should I? You should have a listen. This song has a strange lure to it.
Damn Eye Candy!
[Job search sites]
Yes, my darling daughter.
Of course.
Has my daughter eaten her lunch yet?
Daddy? I ate barbequed ribs.
Of course. Daddy eats well.
Okay. Yes, I'll go home early. You come home early too.
All right. Okay.
Seriously.
Why do university tuition fees keep rising?
It's still not done.
Oh. Eye Candy.
Those kids. I thought they only knew how to fool around. This is great.
All I get is the flavor of barbequed ribs.
Oh. This song...
- Eye Candy! - Eye Candy!
They probably all have girlfriends, right?
Hey. Kwon Ji Hyuk's mine.
I want Lee Hyun Soo.
How can you forget his bleeding guitar performance?
In that case I'll have Kim Ha Jin.
How awesome it would be if we were in the same class as them.
They are all in our class.
But it seems they are already getting star treatment.
Suddenly the distance between us and them feels immense.
How long has it been since I've seen my Ji Hyuk?
You know how good the response to the single album is, right?
It's not as if people are going there to see you. Aren't you a bit overdressed?
You think? Am I overdressed? What's wrong with you?
It's a new pair of shoes.
Seriously, you do all kinds of unnecessary things.
I told you not to follow me.
But it feels like they're really going to make it.
If they become top stars, we're not going to become nothing to them, huh?
What a thing to say!
Before I tear your mouth up you'd better shut up.
Say another word and watch what I'll do.
I have to go and buy some band-aids for my feet.
Stick the band-aid on your mouth!
[Kwon Ji Hyuk: Today is a free day! I'm flying over!]
How long has it been since we did this?
Do Jjang, feels good, right?
I didn't know how much I'd miss this sofa.
How long has it been since we had our freedom?
We're quite pathetic.
Freedom, and yet here we are.
This may be our last free time,
before promotional activities begin.
Yeah. I thought Bang Wool-ee was coming. Why isn't she here yet?
Ji Hyuk isn't even here.
If she comes and finds out she'll go berserk. Let her take her time.
But where did Ji Hyuk rush off to?
It's Mi Young.
What?
What are you saying? Get to the point!
Where on earth are you?
What's up?
Woo Kyung's getting dragged into a fight with some punks.
What?!
Where?
But don't we have to keep our heads down?
What are you talking so much for? Our Bang Wool-ee is in trouble.
Let's go! This isn't the time to worry about that.
Those gangsters kicked up a fuss about the rent deposit today.
I was so scared I thought I'd die.
If those people come again, I'm going to have to give them your rental deposit.
Hello.
What?
Got it.
Excuse me, you have to pay.
Oh. This...
What are a whole bunch of you doing ganging up on one girl? It's a cheap shot!
That time you grabbed me by the hair in the club, quite a bit fell out.
Cheap? It's you who is cheap!
Called over a bunch of guys and escaped that time, didn't you?
You messed around with my Hee Kyung.
You guys, that's enough. Keep it up and some scary guys will be coming!
What? What did you do? Who is coming?
What do you mean who? Eye Candy of course.
Hey, you crazy woman!
Don't you know what an important time it is for them now?
How can you call them over?
If anything happens, do you want to kneel and take responsibility?
Tell them not to come. Now!
Eye Candy?
I heard they're doing well.
Let's see how well they look in real life.
Yeah, call them out.
We'll just rough them up as much as Hee Kyung wants us to.
Come here!
Come here!!
Hey! If you touch our Bang Wool, you guys are all dead!
You worthless bastards!
You're dead.
Dammit.
Sorry, I'm late.
You're sorry, kid?
You're here?!
Oh, Ji Hyuk!
Hey, you bastards!
My arm is strained.
And because I didn't stretch, my neck is strained too.
Punk.
Are you hurt anywhere?
Are you okay?
Why did you come? It's such an important time.
What if something bad happened when you were fighting? What would I do then?
You dummy...
Forget it.
It's over. It’s over.
It's okay.
I was so scared.
Don't cry.
Your debut is right in front of you, and you get into a fight?
If you violate any of the company rules, forget about your single. You're out.
Are you saying you stayed at the rooftop room waiting for Kwon Ji Hyuk?
The person in your heart... is Kwon Ji Hyuk.
Why are you trying so hard on your own?
Why are you bothering me? Are you interested in me?
I have a lot of interest in you.
I found the key that the owner hid.
Isn't that trespassing or something?
What's the reason? The hatred you feel for Eye Candy.
I want to crush them... completely.
When I see you these days, you're not the Yoo Seung Hoon I used to know.
Whether they rise or fall is up to them.
Your stage debut has been finalized.
But that is a live broadcast. We're going to play live for a broadcast?
