Shut Up! Flower Boy Band
Episode 13
I would like to ask Kwon Ji Hyuk...
Do you have a girlfriend?
Do I have to answer that?
Then, what about this question?
There's information that you live with a girl from the same school at this house.
Is it true?
I'm sorry, personal questions...
Isn't it better to clarify and explain these things early
rather than hide behind the company's protection?
It's not true.
Then is it true that you have a girlfriend?
I'm sorry,
- the time for questions has ended. - Yes.
So you're not living together, but you have a girlfriend.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes, I have a girlfriend.
Then, can I interpret the situation by saying
that your girlfriend lives at your home?
We will stop taking questions at this time.
Sorry, this is the end of the press conference.
Excuse me! Just one more question.
Look here!
Excuse me!
Here!
Did you hear? Did you?
What?
Eye Candy dropped a bomb!
What?
The news has exploded all over the internet.
Because of this picture...
This isn't you, is it?
You said you live next door, right?
Soo Ah.
Tell me.
It's not you in that photo, right?
Say it!
Where are you living now?
Are you living at that bastard's place?
It's not true, right?
Tell me it's not true.
Soo Ah, I'm begging you.
What's going on?
Cohabiting... who's cohabiting?
Where did you pop a girlfriend out from all of a sudden, Ji Hyuk?
Is it Soo Ah?
Does that make sense?
Didn't you say Soo Ah was Byung Hee's muse?
You said with your own mouth that it wasn't true.
Is this all that you amount to as Eye Candy's leader?
All I did was say yes to what's true and no to what's false.
Kwon Ji Hyuk!
What the reporters want is gossip, not the truth.
Thanks to you, no one will even remember that Eye Candy is releasing a new song.
Instead, you'll just be known as a high school gangster band
who live with their girlfriends.
Is that what you want?
Is it a sin to have a girlfriend?
Reading off from an answer sheet won’t solve the problem.
So you can do whatever you like?
Fine.
As of this moment, all promo activities for Eye Candy's 2nd single are suspended.
You are not to move an inch from your dorm.
The company will come to a decision on what to do with Eye Candy.
This is my problem!
It has nothing to do with the other members, so why...?
You've destroyed Eye Candy as a whole,
do you need me to spell that out for you?!
Release a statement to the media that besides the press conference interview,
we have no further comment.
Could we challenge the validity of the photo?
Let's see how bad it gets,
then we'll assess the situation and decide.
Yes.
Hurry in.
Especially you, Kwon Ji Hyuk.
If you cause any more trouble,
it will be the end of this, keep that in mind.
This kid has always been so dead honest.
The director said all promotional activities are suspended for now,
but since the rumor isn't true, the company will come up with a solution.
Just continue practicing for your live performances.
Yes.
I'm going to call and check on you every hour so don't move an inch.
Where are you going?
I'll be right back.
Don't you know if you get caught by reporters while meeting Soo Ah,
it will be damaging for her too?
I'll be right back.
Crazy, he's gone crazy.
How can a guy like Kwon Ji Hyuk go crazy over someone, especially Soo Ah?
Hey, have you seen the news?
Eye Candy's Kwon Ji Hyuk is living with some girl.
I thought it wasn't true?
He supposedly denied it at the press conference.
As if he'd tell the truth under those circumstances.
You think so?
A high schooler living with someone, that's really bad.
Hello? Where are you?
At work.
Are you okay? Did anything happen today?
Yeah, I'm fine.
What's going to happen to you?
There are tons of reporters at the house,
so you can't come here.
Reporters?
They found out where I live?
I have to go back to the dorm, what are we going to do?
Don't worry.
I can stay at a friend's place for a few days.
Who's your friend?
I'll call you when I get to my friend's house later.
Got it.
Let's meet after you finish work.
Yes, it's me, Do Il.
We're staying put, why are you doing this?
Stop calling!
Put Ji Hyuk on.
This is Ji Hyuk.
Lose your accent before you try faking it, Kid.
Where's Ji Hyuk?
If he doesn't pick up within 5 seconds, I'm coming over.
I said I'm here.
Do you want to die, Ha Jin?
He's like a mind-reader. What do we do?
Just tell him he's not here.
What else can we do?
Ji Hyuk just came out of the bathroom.
Hurry... Talk! Talk!
Yes, it's me.
What kind of shower takes that long?
Don't move an inch, and stay at the dorm.
Don't even dream of going out.
I got it.
I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
Ji Hyuk, you!
I never thought you'd stab us in the back over a girl like this.
Let's not get too worked up.
Let's hear what Ji Hyuk has to say first.
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry about?
For wasting all the hard work we put into our song?
For screwing up the whole press conference with one word?
Or for using the excuse that Soo Ah is Byung Hee's muse to sneak around with her?
What the he** are you actually sorry about?!
The fact that I didn't tell you guys first...
That's right.
If you had told us first,
we wouldn't feel this bad.
It's not like you at all to be such a coward.
You're right.
I wasn't honest with you guys...
Or with Soo Ah.
My head was spinning and I didn't know what to do.
And I used that as an excuse.
I was a coward.
Did hiding it solve anything?
If you were going to do that, then you should've kept your mouth shut today.
I was going to tell you guys,
but that reporter jumped the gun.
I didn't want to run away again and lie at that point.
I didn't want to hide it anymore.
That's right.
I mean, it wasn't like Soo Ah and Byung Hee ever dated or anything.
If you had been honest with us, we'd probably have given you a hard time,
but would we have killed you over it?
That's right, Dude.
What was so hard about coming clean?
You didn't trust us, huh?
If you said it publicly instead of telling us directly,
we'd have no choice but to accept it, is that it?
I'm really disappointed in you, Ji Hyuk.
What are we going to do now?
The song we killed ourselves recording is going down the drain.
It can't...
Do you think they'll really do that?
Yeah, you said you weren't living together.
I doubt they’ll go that far just because you have a girlfriend.
I'll let my sister know,
so just stay here for the time being.
Thank you.
If you had listened to me from the beginning!
Let's not bring up the past.
I'll have to inconvenience you for a few days.
You had no problem living in that guy's house,
why do you say you're inconveniencing me?
I... I can't afford to pay rent here.
What?
That's what I mean by inconveniencing you.
I've always been grateful to you.
And I'm sorry
for letting you see me like this.
Woo Kyung, are you okay?
Why aren't you saying anything?
What a joke.
Why are they still coming to school?
They sure are shameless.
Living together...
What is the matter with the class atmosphere lately?
There are students who come to class or not whenever they please.
There are also rumors about high school students
tarnishing the school's reputation with shameful behavior.
If you're going to do that, quit school entirely and just be a celebrity.
Be a celebrity. Be a celebrity.
- I thought he wanted our autographs? - You’ll regret it later.
- His attitude change is really irritating. - You should be focused on your studies!
You'll regret not doing so after you graduate.
What's all this nonsense?
[ Let's meet for a bit. ]
Are you really at a friend's place?
I told you I am.
Hurry on in.
What if someone sees you?
So what if they do?
You told me to be clear about things.
Do you think it's the same now as before?
Don't worry.
People will forget all about this soon.
Is that really true?
Where are you living now?
So it's really Yim Soo Ah.
I have to send this to the reporters, they'll really love this.
That a**hole!
- Give it to me! - What?
Give it to me while I'm still asking.
How like the rooftop couple.
I guessed right.
I told you to shut up.
Why? Are you going to hit me?
Wow, the reporters are going to have a field day.
From relationship scandal to violence?
Okay, come on.
Ji Hyuk.
This is my problem, so let me handle it.
Delete the photo.
Are you kidding?
Follow me.
What are you doing?
Why did you jump in?
Is this about me?
Those bastards make me sick.
It's been like that from the start!
Why are you doing this to Soo Ah?
Soo Ah, Soo Ah!
You're the one who needs to stop when it comes to her.
You quit our band because of Soo Ah too, right?
You think I didn't know?
Do you think I'm stupid?
What can you do when he puts girls above friends?
Park Pyo Joo, I know you're not stupid.
And I know that you are loyal.
So you ought to know he sometimes does stupid things.
Shut up!
Stop it now.
Don't sink so low.
Who are you calling low?
Don't bother with them anymore and just go your own way.
What?
If you keeping doing stupid things
out of hate for them or for me,
you'll be the one who ends up destroyed.
Wow...
What you just said,
make sure you say it to yourself three times a day.
I think you need to hear it too.
Do you know who Kwon Ji Hyuk is dating?
- I don't. - Isn't it Soo Ah?
Don't they call them the rooftop couple?
Soo Ah!
No way!
There's nothing going on between Soo Ah and Ji Hyuk!
Go! Go!
Do you know anything?
I'm Soo Ah's best friend. I know everything about Soo Ah.
It's not Soo Ah.
There is this unni who comes to the school looking for Kwon Ji Hyuk.
Unni? So she's older than him?
Does she attend this school?
Umm... I...
- I'm not sure... - Hold on.
Kwon Ji Hyuk!
Do you want to reveal who your girlfriend is?
I heard she's from your school.
Just tell me a little, will you?
Is it a girl named Soo Ah? Or some older girl?
It looks like it'll all come out in a few days.
Just look at these articles.
Let me see.
High school band leader Kwon Ji Hyuk has been cohabitating
with his girlfriend since before his debut.
Why are they still talking about this when it's not even true?
Probably because they don't want to believe it.
They're trying to dig up worse dirt, those hyena like asses.
But this kind of headline always tops search engines.
People always talk smack about these kinds of articles but still read them anyway.
Then blame it on people who provide gossip fodder,
how can you blame the people who eat it up?
Hyun Soo, you don't have any gigs scheduled lately?
Everything's been canceled.
Why?
Eye Candy's image has been trashed.
The broadcasting stations have banned us from going on air for immoral conduct.
What's so immoral about having a girlfriend?
What are you getting pissed at me for?
Did I say anything? It's the public saying it.
The director was probably right, people don't want the truth.
I don't know if we should start packing up our bags...
Where are you going?
To vocal training.
Why is he still going to training at a time like this?
Tough bastard.
If we get kicked out like this, he'll be the most pissed.
He worked so hard,
don't you think he'll be really pissed if we get kicked out?
You, who shine on me brightly…
You're here?
Try this with Ye Rim.
I told you I won't do it.
Who asked you to do it?
I just need you to help with the song guide recording
because we haven't found a partner for her.
You can do that much, right?
Yes.
Hello.
Sorry that we have to ask you to help with the guide.
- The director... - Forget it, let's just do it.
I love you, it's you I love.
The words that I can't hold back
A nervous heart, my heart
The feelings I've always kept hidden
You, who shine on me brightly in the morning
You're always like sunshine, to me you are
I like you, it's you I like
Like a great big tree
Always standing comfortingly next to me
You, who protects me
Sometimes, I don't even realize
My feelings are about to be revealed
So I just smile normally next to you
Like a fool, I just smile
You, who shine on me brightly in the morning
You're always like sunshine, to me you are
Okay! Good work.
Thank you.
You've worked hard. Let's go eat.
I'll go back to the dorm.
Ye Rim has nothing else scheduled today, right?
- Yes. - That's good.
Go on, I'll be right over.
How could you do this?
How could you do this to me?
You let her live at your place so you could sneak off to see her, huh?
Didn't you?! Didn't you?!
Stop it, Woo Kyung!
Is that all you can say to me?
If I say anything, you tell me to stop.
If I ask you to do anything, you tell me to go.
Then that makes me the idiot, the crazy chick
who stayed by your side for 3 years.
Hey, Woo Kyung, calm down.
Because of you,
the rest of the guys are treated like underage punks who live with girls too.
What are you going to do now?
What's going to happen to the band?
It's not true.
Once people know the truth,
we can just start over.
Yeah, Woo Kyung.
- Give him some time... - Break up with her immediately.
That's the only way.
That's not going to happen.
Kwon Ji Hyuk.
Eye Candy and me versus Soo Ah...
Who will it be?
I won't let go of either.
Never...
Oh, you're here.
Did you wait long?
Soo Ah is at the officetel?
Did you leak Kwon Ji Hyuk's scandal?
Why would I?
This wouldn't be the first time you used this kind of tactic
to discipline an unruly trainee.
You know I don't touch anything unless they're facts.
A high schooler cohabiting is a scandal that causes a lot of damage,
even if it's untrue.
It's really bad for our company's image.
Then block it, Noona.
I know you can do it.
Is there any need for me to do that?
If they can't be trained, then I should return them to the wild,
and keep only the ones that should stay.
So you're just going to abandon them?
What's the matter with you?
Did you develop a bond with Eye Candy while working with them as their producer?
Why are you so concerned?
This isn't only Kwon Ji Hyuk's problem, is it?!
What are you talking about?
Is this about Kwon Ji Hyuk's girlfriend?
It's a girl from your school,
so do you know who she is?
Could it be...
Soo Ah?
If it is, will you block it?
- Seung Hoon, so you... - Block it.
Not for Kwon Ji Hyuk,
but for me.
Yes, I understand.
We'll do that.
Yes.
The director can't make it.
She told us to go ahead and eat.
I'm leaving.
Excuse me.
The food is already here,
and it's awkward to eat alone.
Are you uncomfortable being alone with me?
Yes.
Then shall we call Ha Jin and Kyung Jong to come?
Ha Jin called just now.
Forget it.
Just eat and let's go.
But why are you speaking informally to me?
If you have a problem with it, you can drop the formal speech with me too.
May I?
Up to you.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Why do I have to answer that?
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yes. "
Ji Hyuk was really cool saying that.
It must be nice to be his girlfriend,
to have a guy like him.
You don't have a boyfriend?
I think I'm going to get one soon.
Yes.
The intensive care unit?!
I'll be right there.
Taxi!
Taxi! I'm going crazy! Seriously!
Shall I give you a lift?
Aren't you in a rush?
Where are you going?
Hangang Hospital.
It will be okay.
Where's Hyun Soo?
He left early and went home.
I think something's going on at home.
Could it be something serious?
If he doesn't say anything, how are we supposed to know?
That punk...
Do you know where Soo Ah is?
I told you to stay out of my business.
All you could do to protect Soo Ah was that rooftop room?
Stop making Soo Ah's life difficult.
A girl whose life is already lonely and hard for her
to become degraded because of you,
I can't stand watching anymore.
Then don't watch.
Won't that solve it?
Soo Ah is staying with me.
Don't worry and concentrate on what you need to do.
Yeah, Soo Ah?
Did you just get back?
[Mom]
Yes, Ahjumma. This is Ji Hyuk.
Hyun Soo is washing up.
Is that so?
I'll call back later.
Excuse me.
Is there something wrong at home?
Da Som is very sick.
What?
How bad?
She needs surgery,
but the surgery fees are so high, we can't pay it even though she's so sick.
It's making Hyun Soo really worried.
Ji Hyuk, my heart hurts so much.
What are you skipping vocal lessons for and going off to do instead?
It's just an excuse, Kid.
Why does a bass player need vocal lessons? Especially with how things are now...
Ye Rim is recording today.
How did you find out?
Are you Kim Ye Rim's stalker?
Hey, I copied all of the recording studio schedules.
Let's go. Let's go.
I'm not going.
Don't you know that it's awkward when the two of us are alone together?
You punk.
Let's go.
You need to inject a little more emotion into this part.
Okay.
Ye Rim!
Hello.
I heard you were recording today,
- so I came by to say hi. - I see.
If you're done saying hi, then go. We're in the middle of work.
I got it, I'm leaving.
Ye Rim, what time do you finish recording?
How about having some tea after?
Hey, the song that's playing, isn't that Hyun Soo's voice?
What are you talking about?
It's Ye Rim's song, so why would Hyun Soo be singing it?
That's right. It's Hyun Soo.
What? Why would he be singing your song?
I asked him to. I wanted to record it together.
What is this?
The company is preparing a solo debut for him.
Looks like you guys didn't know about it.
How's the song?
Don't we sound compatible?
Yes. We'll get going then.
Lee Hyun Soo!
Where's Lee Hyun Soo?
What happened?
Hey Jerk, you haven't even confirmed it.
Bastard, I just knew it.
What are you doing?!
Did you know?
This bastard is preparing for a solo debut since Eye Candy is a mess.
What?
Why aren't you saying anything, you a**hole!
You even recorded a duet with Ye Rim.
What's this about?
We stopped by the recording studio,
and Seung Hoon said a bunch of stuff.
Hey, you fu**ing traitor!
You're cutting out on us just to save your own a**?
How am I a traitor?
Get your facts straight.
Then what is this about a duet?
It was just a guide song.
But he said the company is planning for your solo debut.
Solo?
It's just something the director said last time.
It's in the past.
Then why did you record a duet?
You recorded because you have plans to go solo, don't you?!
I told you it was a guide.
Wow, this band is doing really well.
The leader is going out dropping bombs to reporters,
not bothering about what happens to the other members.
The other one is preparing for a solo career because the band is going to he**.
I said it's not true, didn't I?!
How do you expect me to believe that?
You haven't said a word till now.
What Rock Kim said was right.
A band can be torn apart because of girls and money.
Let's quit. Let's quit everything!
That jerk... Why is he overreacting today?
Kyung Jong, go after him.
That jerk sure has a bad temper.
Hyun Soo, why didn't you say anything?
What would I say anything for?
I'd just be treated like a traitor anyway.
You don't need to go see your family?
Why? Should I get the fu** out?
Is it because you don't believe me either?
Over that kind of thing, what is there to believe or not?
It's not that.
I heard Da Som is very sick.
How much do you need for the surgery fees?
How did you find out?
Is that important now?
You just concentrate on the band's problems.
We won't get a full album contract with the way things are now.
Ji Hyuk.
Why is your face like that?
Is that what you say after not seeing me for so long?
Were you sick?
A little.
I'm fine now.
How have you been doing since that day?
Until the reporters stop coming around and things settle down,
I think I'd better keep a low profile.
Are you at Yoon Seung Hoon's place?
It's Hye Ri unni's officetel.
How did you know?
I don't know what to do.
It's not like I can take you out of there.
I'm sorry, it's my fault.
It's me who should be sorry.
I can't do anything for you.
No.
But us meeting like this... What if someone sees us?
So what? It's not like we have anything left to hide.
Ji Hyuk.
Yeah?
Should we stop seeing each other?
You're having such a hard time because of me.
It's not hard on me at all.
So don't say that ever again.
Kid! What are you doing here?
Silva's going crazy looking for you!
Hurry, let's go.
Let go. You go if you want to.
I want nothing to do with a bunch of selfish bastards.
Anyway, isn't it just a matter of time before the band splits up?
Are we going to the wine bar or not?
- Of course. - Are you crazy?
If you come back pissed drunk, we'll all be in deep sh**?.
No, let's go.
You go, you a**hole!
Aren't they from Eye Candy?
That's right, it's Kim Ha Jin.
Is he living with someone too?
Wow, high school kids nowadays are no joke.
Hey.
What did you just say?
- Excuse me? - Nothing, just...
Watch your mouth.
What are you doing?
We were just talking about him because he’s a celebrity but he got all fired up.
What?
What do you know about me?!
What are you doing glaring at my girl?
Hey, hey, don't fight. Don't do that.
You bastard.
You bastard!
Bastard!
Don't forward any calls from reporters.
[Street Brawl, Eye Candy is a violent band?!]
[One of the member’s father revealed to be the mob boss of a gang organization]
[After cohabitation rumors, Eye Candy now involved in a violent incident?!]
Is this rock bottom?
You sure know how to stir up sh*t.
You called me a traitor,
then what are you, a thug?
It's better to be a thug
than a traitor who betrays his friends.
Are you done talking?
What's up with you two?!
Stop it.
You're one to talk. Are you just going to just stand around?
Shouldn't you be at the office trying to figure out a way to fix things?
Don't you know you're partly to blame for the way things are now?!
I really don't have time.
Just go and sign the solo contract!
Go sign the contract!
Didn't you get beaten up enough yesterday?
What, a**hole?
That's enough.
How did we end up like this?
Being a celebrity is all about image.
If it hits rock bottom like this, what can the company do?
Yes.
The company has no official statement on this.
Yes.
It's good that you're here, I was just about to call you here.
You guys can all go home now.
What?
Your contracts are being terminated.
You're all free now.
What about the full album?
What are you talking about?
In this situation, a full album?
Do you think our company is running a charity?
Go on, I'm done talking.
Do you hate me?
It's a domino effect, and you started it.
Director.
Then just sign Hyun Soo alone.
Hyun Soo? I tried that too.
He's done nothing wrong.
And you know better than anyone
how hard he has worked.
I know.
But either way, Hyun Soo is a member of Eye Candy.
Any damage to the band affects him too.
Even if it's just Hyun Soo, sign him on.
Well...
I tried to get him to sign a solo contract a few times,
but he said he can't throw his friends away.
What a touching friendship.
The risk is high
and he doesn't want to, so why force it?
I'll send him your way.
What about Eye Candy?
We'll find a way to start over again one way or another.
It's hard to do that now,
but if we start over, somehow...
The band isn't splitting up, so do you think Hyun Soo will leave?
I'll make him leave.
Then what will you do for me?
Anything.
Everything.
Anything?
Yes.
Why not talk at the dorm instead of calling me all the way here?
I have something to talk to you about.
What?
Are we fired?
If we promise just one thing,
we'll get to put out a full album.
Really?
But I said I couldn't do it.
What do you mean?
They told me to break up with Soo Ah.
So,
you told them you can't break up?
Yeah.
You've really gone crazy, haven't you?
Over one girl,
you're giving up our full album?
I don't need things like that.
What?
Say that again.
Things like that?
Yes.
So in the end, we're only "things like that" to you?
Think what you want.
Hey, Kwon Ji Hyuk!
Are you really Kwon Ji Hyuk?
Is the person standing in front of me really Kwon Ji Hyuk?
If you want to hit me, then do it.
But I can't give up Soo Ah.
What am I to you?
Are we not worth more than that girl?
Do I need to say it again?
Soo Ah is now more important to me than you guys.
Got it?
Look at me, a**hole.
Is this the end?
Yes.
What are you doing now?
Don't do this, Hyun Soo.
What's going to happen if you leave?
Hyun Soo.
Stop him, you jerk.
Let him.
Why hold on to a bastard who wants to go?
He's nothing but a traitor.
Is this all you guys can do?
Hyun Soo.
Hey, Lee Hyun Soo!
Hello.
Hey, Lee Hyun Soo.
You probably heard about it from Kwon Ji Hyuk by now.
I'm just letting you know the solo offer still stands.
Did you really have to go that far?
If I didn't, he wouldn't have left.
It was just pathetic of me to follow and believe in him as a leader all this time.
Our company will release an official statement
that Eye Candy is breaking up.
No matter what anyone else says, they're really good guys.
I have to protect it.
You're quite the star now.
I'm sure you guys are happy that I’ve fu**ed off.
Don't be too disappointed in Ji Hyuk.
If the scandal gets out of hand,
it'll be difficult for Ji Hyuk to continue pursuing his music career.
You should let him go.
Let's...
break up.
I won't call you.
I'll go back to the time when I didn't know you.
When did music become something that we had to do?
You're only the leader. No one asked you to be responsible for our lives.
Are you saying we should quit Eye Candy? Huh?
Eye Candy?
Let's quit.
