Barefoot Friends
[Barefoot Song Project: My Story, My Song]
[Make a song with 'you' as the theme.]
I got goosebumps.
[Epik High, Dynamic Duo, Dublekick: An audition with the best producers]
It seems you're not shy.
I will cast you.
[Jong Shin and Hyung Joong teamed with Dynamic Duo]
[Ji Won and Shi Yoon with Epik High]
[Ho Dong and UEE with Dublekick]
The reason why you don't have to think too much...
There has to be something you want to do.
The things you want to say the most.
[Focusing on writing the lyrics.] I think writing about your story is good.
[A journey to find 'me' to include 'me' in the song.]
- Daddy! - What's this?
[UEE went to see her father at the ball park.]
Dad, I'm going to write a rap song about you.
[Her theme is her father, who is a baseball coach.]
I want to write the things I want to say just for one day.
[And!]
[The concert about...]
[My Story]
[Two weeks before the concert.]
They are lyrics for the song.
It's my story.
Whether it's going to be an essay format or a poetic format...
I want to go to the beach.
[Going to the beach to write his 'My Story?']
I want to go with a friend who's the same age.
Hyun Joong.
[Shi Yoon and Hyun Joong are on their ways to the East Sea.]
- Look at the caravan. - It's a caravan.
- Wow. - Have you been in one?
I rented one once.
[They are going to the sea to get inspiration.] You want to look inside?
- Wow! Is that where we sleep? - Yeah.
'Please take off your shoes.'
[Tada!]
It's nice.
- Bathroom. - Bathroom? Wow!
It's like an airplane.
- Should we get going? - Yeah.
Good!
[Camping of two 26-year-old's. Born in the Year 1986.]
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I like camping.
- I rented this and went camping a few times. - Yeah?
- Where are we going? - Mangsang Beach.
- Have you been there? - No.
I tried to search for food in Mangsang
but it came up as 'Mangsang Beach Hunting.' (Picking up girls.)
- You want to go 'hunting?' - 'Hunting?'
[They are now going to pick up girls?]
Have you tried it?
Me? Hey, you're supposed to go to the beach to swim.
I'm asking for real.
I didn't do it just to pick up girls.
- Then for love? - No, no.
[Panic?]
You know when you have a lot of food on your table
you could share with the neighbors.
- You mean alcohol? - What? Alcohol?
You know it's the beach. They have stuff like mango juice.
I want to go 'hunting' today.
Can you do it for me?
You want me to go and talk to girls?
- Yeah, just once. - Hey, I really can't do it.
Go tell her that your friend is really interested in her.
'If you don't have company...'
'Would you like to have dinner with us at the raw fish place?'
Raw fish?
I heard that you need to hold a bottle of scotch whiskey in your hand.
Really? [Gotta look bling bling!]
You have to buy a bottle of scotch and stick it in the sand.
Only then the girls will talk to you.
[This is the 26-year-old way?]
Just tell me how to do it. I will just go and do it.
Hunting.
[A journey to find myself.]
- You know we're leaving on a vacation. I'm excited. - Why?
- My family didn't have a car. - Yeah?
We didn't have a car. Both of my parents worked in Seoul.
Once every year, my grandparents held my hand and took me to Seoul on a bus.
- I have never ridden on an inter-city bus. - Yeah?
- Because I was born in Seoul. - Oh.
I went to Busan for the first time when I was 20.
Oh.
I never had the chance to ride an inter-city bus.
Do they stop at the freeway resting area?
The long ones stop. They stop for about 15 minutes.
My grandmother really liked fish cake. The ones in freeway resting areas.
She buys a fish cake, and I buy something I want to eat like a burger.
We would have to go back to the bus.
But other kids in my age were eating on the table with their families.
All of them came in their own cars.
[They had the time to take time and eat at the table.]
I was really jealous of that.
- But you can do it now right? - Yeah, I can do it now.
But it still gives me the thrills.
When I first got my driver's license, I had a girlfriend.
She asked what I wanted to do most with my driver's license.
I told her to not laugh at me and I told her this.
- Freeway resting area? - Yeah, go to a freeway resting area.
Order everything I want to and eat.
I still get thrills from going to theme parks.
You know, I don't get that.
You know I grew up in Jamsil.
I could walk to a theme park in ten minutes.
I could go to a theme park whenever I wanted to.
I could never go unless it was a school field trip.
I still don't go to theme parks. They are no fun.
I think that's how we're different.
We went to Seoul for school field trips.
I loved visiting Seoul.
See you and I are exact opposites.
I like going to the nature. Going to the country side.
I'm glad to be out of the nature.
I love the asphalt.
I still get thrills.
[How different will their stories be?]
Let's stop by the resting area since you like it so much.
- Let's eat. - I'm hungry.
- Good, good. - What do you want?
They have pork cutlet with pork topped rice.
Really? I want cold buckwheat noodles.
Let's eat outside.
- I was really hungry. - Eat up.
I still feel good when I eat at the resting area.
It feels like a special day.
Okay, here.
Say ah!
Isn't this a bit awkward?
It's okay! We're friends!
- It's awkward. - No it's not.
- I will eat it on my own. - We even went diving together.
We're friends.
I wouldn't like it even if a girl hand-fed me.
I'm really awkward about this stuff.
Like men doing this.
Sorry about that.
- About what? - I know what you mean, but...
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
- I feel sick now. - I feel like I got dumped.
Let's go play baseball.
Loser buys snacks.
The loser buys snacks and talk to girls.
[The notorious boys are back.]
The loser has to buy snacks and bring two girls.
Okay.
And they can't be older or younger by more than five years.
He is so athletic.
[The person that just hits more wins the game.]
You're good. [Yeah, this is a game.]
Stop trying too hard, Hyun Joong.
[Giving 120%]
[The beach girls depend on this.]
[I can already hear the ocean.]
[Kim Hyun Joong on fire!] One.
[Do we have to buy a bottle of scotch?]
[Hyun Joong last bat.]
[Hyun Joong got 12.]
- How many did I get? - 12.
You missed four.
Go Shi Yoon!
Go Shi Yoon.
Where is he now?
[Girls depend on this game.]
[Miss!]
- You can do it! - Stop it!
- Go! - Stop it!
It looks like you're going to be talking to the girls.
[That just made him focus.]
[He even has his shoes off.]
[Not bad.]
[Come on girls!]
Nice!
Last one.
[This will decide who will talk to girls.]
[Shi Yoon wins after getting 13.]
Hunting! Hunting! Hunting!
[Are you really going to do it?]
- Do I have to buy the snacks now? - Yeah.
[Dinner then desserts.]
[Potato]
[Look at his face.]
It's hot!
[Speaking jibberish.]
What are you doing?
[I lost in baseball too, and now my mouth is on fire.]
[Hyun Joong on fire.]
[Going to the beach to write the song.]
- Let's go to the beach and get in the water. - I just learned how to swim.
You know how everyone gets piano lessons when we're kids.
No one had a piano in my neighborhood.
[They are really different.]
I really wanted to go to Daejeon Expo when I was little.
When I saw a lot of people on TV, I thought that it wasn't the place to go.
We should go fishing as soon as we get there.
Then take the fish and ask them to cut slices for us.
- Then we're going to pick up girls. - Okay.
[They found 'one thing' in common.]
[They arrived in Mangsang Beach.]
The beach is short.
Do we park here?
It's the ocean!
[We will get inspired looking at the beach like this.]
- Wow! - I'm not going in.
[Shi Yoon runs in?]
It's cold!
[He still touched the water.]
Go get your feet wet.
I'm not going in the water for a while since diving is over.
[Different after all...]
[Starting the camp fire since they came camping.]
[Wash the vegetables?] I like veggies.
[Barbecue!]
[They have different personalities.] I majored in drama because I wanted to act.
The sun's going to rise tomorrow morning, right? I looked it up.
I knew that there was going to be a sunrise tomorrow because...
- You see the boat out there? - Yeah.
Yeah, I can see them.
If there's fishing boat out there, that means it's going to dawn tomorrow.
They work all night and early morning. It means that the tides won't be very high
and the weather is going to be nice.
If you don't see fishing boats even on a nice day...
That means a sudden storm may strike.
- Oh, really? - It's useful to know that.
It is.
You look kind of smart today.
It's kind of like how Gong Myung could foresee a South West wind coming.
To be honest, I don't know what South West wind means.
What the heck is South West wind? Wind blows everywhere.
[Sharing 'My Story.']
I thought that this was a great time to come up with lyrics.
I had the time to think about my past and my memories.
I think I can really get emotional and write some lyrics.
What you want to write for the rap is...
So I... there was my grandpa, grandma and me living at home.
We didn't have a car.
I had my grandpa's bicycle.
When I was late for school, my grandpa would give me a ride on the bicycle.
All the way to the school sitting on his bike.
Then I would see all the ranches in front of me.
I want to tell them my story.
- Write that for your rap. - Okay.
You know, what I want to write for my song is...
I want to write what I really want to say just for one day.
Like... because I'm a celebrity the lady at the food place
gave me an extra omelet.
But the timing was just terrible.
I'd have to eat even though I'm really full.
I would feel bad if I leave some behind.
That pain. And I always wish that, if I weren't myself just for one day.
I'm thankful.
But I want to be less thankful just for one day.
I want to sing that rap and then live gratefully once again.
Yeah, I have that feeling too.
Sing a song for me.
One, two, three, four.
I don't know you, but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me And I can't react.
And games that never amount To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out.
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
[Falling slowly into the East Sea.]
[I'm going to write the lyrics watching the sun rise tomorrow morning.]
[Meanwhile...]
[280km away from the East Seat at Hongik St.]
The 'me' in my mind and the 'me' in the mind of the people that are close to me.
I want to them to listen to 'me.'
The mission right now is to make rap with hip hop artists.
[Director Jang Hang Joon, Ha Rim, Jo Jung Chi, and Kim Ye Rim.]
The theme for the song is, 'Me.'
- Myself. - It's going to include a lot of cuss words then.
Yeah, that's why I'm here.
Say everything you want to say.
[Are you going to be okay? Are you sure?]
[Yeah! I have to know myself.]
In reality, you're a slave of money.
Slave of money.
He is a slave of money.
- A money bug. - Would do anything for money.
He's nice to us right? That's because we have prices in the market.
You know hound dogs like him eventually bite their masters.
I think he was really excited to be on variety shows in the old days for money.
I was in shows for money.
An apostate.
- I was started in 2001 with him. - Yeah.
We were called the Feeble Brothers that were scrawny and weak.
Weak men who want girls.
We would always be drinking herbal tonic.
[You cannot stop them. Jang Hang Joon and Yoon Jong Shin in 2001.]
- Bastard. - Bastard.
Was it 'You can't stop them?'
Most of the times when he says hi, he doesn't really mean it.
You seem like you're always thinking about something else.
He always walks like this.
Like this.
That's a zombie!
When you say hi, he would say, 'Oh! Hi! How have you been?'
'My mother passed away just a while ago.' 'Oh really?'
He's like that.
A slave of money.
Soulless.
A piece of trash.
He's a zombie.
One of his best virtue is that he never talks behind someone's back.
It's hard to see him say bad things about someone.
Because that person could be lucrative to him one day.
It's all about money.
[Money is the theme then?]
Was he ever angry at you?
He was angry at me once.
When I was writing my first album, I said that I wanted to write the lyrics.
I went to his place, and I was late.
You locked your door and didn't let me in.
- Really? Because you were late? - Yeah, I was late.
He said coldly, 'No, never mind. Just go. No.'
He doesn't show anger. 'I'm not angry.'
And you didn't open the door until the end.
I have must have been angry.
But not opening the door is a bit childish.
[With the testimony of his friends the brainstorming is complete.]
This is going to be hard.
[Jong Shin's Story]
- Hi, it's good to see you friend. - Really?
A soulless zombie, oh zombie
Zombie trash, I need money
I can't even stand up to my wife
An apostate, a pioneer, pioneer yeah.
Oh yeah.
I'm not angry, Ha Rim
But I'm not going to open the door
Get out of my house
Locked the door, locked the door
Locked the door
[Next morning at the East Sea.]
[The day dawns upon Shi Yoon and Hyun Joong at Mangsang Beach.]
[You couldn't go out for 'hunting?']
[He woke up early to see the sun rise.]
[He's sleepy. But watching the sun rise feels good.]
[It's still dark.] Did you hide the sun?
This is redder.
[It's not time yet. Let's wait.]
[Shortly, the sky brightens up.]
- Hey! I think something is coming up. - It's gotten brighter.
Should we start writing with the inspiration?
[Write about 'Me.']
Oh! I can see it!
- It was right there. - What is that?
I can see it.
- Wow. - It's coming out.
- It's like the sun rise in Teletubbies. - It's my first time seeing a sun rise.
[Inspired by the beautiful sun?] I'm inspired.
I'm going to watch this first.
I can think of a poem.
Sun Rise given by the Sun.
Yoon Shi Yoon.
The sun is rising, rather it is coming
The town with the busiest people in the world
The laziest kid in the world wakes up and gets ready for school
My driver waiting for me at the yard
I get on the magic bike
The driver starts the engine
The magic bike that passes the lazy kids that are rushing to school
When I'm rushing somewhere when I'm rushing somewhere in my mind
The magic bike will again take me somewhere
[Shi Yoon's commemoration of his grandfather.]
You're really good because you read a lot of books.
Actually I like writing.
I didn't know what to write.
I want to have fun today alright, yeah
Come everyone, beep bop beep bop Kiyakaka
[What's Kiyakaka?]
Make the incantation, the sun incantation I'm not myself
I'm not myself, Who am I?
Kiyakaka
- What's Kiyakaka? - I want a different name for myself.
I want to put in 'Kiyakaka' here and there in the song.
Kiyakaka!
You want go swimming Shi Yoon?
Yeah?
The water is going to be cold.
[He said he won't go in the water since diving is over.]
[But he's ready to dive!]
[Summer camping of the 26-year-olds.]
[Ocean and sun rise.]
[And talking about 'My Story' with a friend.]
[They failed to get girls, but are having fun at the moment.]
That feels good.
[What do you say when you feel good? Kiyakaka!]
When I was a kid, all I had in my mind was to become the champion.
That was everything in my life until I saw this girl
in my first year in high school.
I told her that I fell in love at first sight.
I think I love you.
I said that.
My first crush in my life.
I was not ready, but it came to me.
But I had to leave for summer training camp.
What does summer training camp mean to you?
I was a wrestler, but why did they make us run so much?
Ten kilometers!
My weight was over 100kg.
I didn't know if I was a runner or a wrestler.
[In nostalgia of the good ol' days... Marathon Start!]
I feel like an athlete again.
I can smell the morning again.
[What's he doing here?]
Ten kilometers is no joke. What are you doing here?
I know right?
[Ji Won didn't come out of his own will.]
Why are you doing this? Marathon?
They asked me about summer training camp
and what I remember the most about it.
- Marathon? - So I said running.
He asked who I want to run with, and I said I want to run with you.
Why me?
Running makes you look back and remember the old days.
Rather than getting an inspiration, I will become an inspiration (old man).
[Just thinking about running ten kilometers makes him older.]
[Five minutes before the marathon.]
I think you're the fattest among the participants.
[I'm sure I was, back when I had met my first crush.]
Kang Ho Dong!
Are you running or walking?
- We're running! - Ten kilometers?
- What grade are you in? - First grade!
[Ten kilometers, start!]
[The marathon makes a round trip around Dumulmeori.]
We can't run fast in the beginning.
He started running!
This reminds me of the old days.
I can remember my first crush.
[Ho Dong's race which takes him back to the time when he met his first crush.]
They even have stairs.
My mic feels heavy already.
We can't get caught up by the elementary school kids.
I can walk and still beat them.
My strides are different.
[They look tired already.] Go Kang Ho Dong!
[Ho Dong runs with the old days in his mind.]
My stamina...
[The older people pass him.]
Ho Dong! They caught up to us.
They caught up with us.
They were chatting and they came all the way here.
Aren't you guys tired?
Humility!
They have faster early pace.
[Whiz]
What am I doing? Why did you bring me?
Try becoming a wrestler for today.
We're far too behind.
[Ho Dong keeps on running.]
Oh, he's good!
I can't catch up.
I can't go ten kilometers fast.
My goal is to run the whole thing persistently without walking once.
My legs are getting heavy.
[My Story of meeting my first crush 25 years ago.]
I was dying to train to become the champion.
Looking back, I feel bad for myself. [He didn't have room for feelings back then.]
- Is this the turnaround point? - Yeah!
- Is this the turnaround point? - You're running 10 km right?
Yeah, this is it!
The legs are getting heavier.
My body feels like a thousand ton.
But my head is clearing up. It feels good.
I feel strange.
[Ji Won on the other hand.]
This is really a fight with myself.
There are so many enemies in the world already.
Why have a fight against myself?
I love myself. Why fight?
Aw my legs!
[10 km marathon is not as easy as it sounds.]
I feel like my toes are going to break.
Running makes me stronger!
I didn't know that my arms could hurt.
I thought only my legs will hurt, but my arms hurt.
It must be hard carrying that camera. You want to break it, don't you?
Break it! Break it!
Unleash what's inside of you! That's rap!
[The cameraman doesn't have to rap...]
[Ho Dong is almost at the finish line.]
[Running for more than an hour.]
Go Kang Ho Dong!
[He finishes the 10km marathon!]
[He looks like he did the full 26 mi. marathon.]
[Exhausted...]
I didn't think I could do it.
I did it!
[Did he have time to think about his first crush?] I remember...
Deep fried pork cutlet.
I wanted that the most.
I wanted to dip it in the sauce and feed it to her.
[What Ho Dong wanted to do the most with his first crush when he was 17.]
I think I had the guts back then.
'You're my type.'
'Go out with me.'
She asked me to give her one day to think about it. She needs to think about it.
So I told her, 'Okay, I will see you here at noon tomorrow.'
Come out and tell me whether it's going to be a yes or no.
And we had gone our ways. But she never came to the place.
What is that? Nervous?
Back when I had my first crush, I was so nervous that I couldn't be myself.
I missed her. I worried about her. I was angry.
I didn't have any confidence in front of girls.
I felt like I was running with dumbbells.
I don't think marathon was the answer to someone who wanted to fly.
[Ji Won is still sorry about running 10 km because of Ho dong.]
I want to fly.
I always had the dream of becoming Superman one day.
[Ji Won's 'My Story, My Song']
I had dreams about having special powers.
- You can't walk after 10 km? - No.
- Where are we going? - You will see when we get there.
- Keep going? - Yeah.
Are you tired? Let me get down.
- Are your legs okay? - Yeah.
[Aw my legs!]
Oh!
[Ji Won wanted to fly.]
[Ji Won wants to become the Superman above water.]
Was this the flying you were talking about?
You wanted to fly here?
I tried to find something that resembles flying. I did research.
You think you can come up with the lyrics?
I will have some kind of feeling when I'm up there. When I'm up there.
I would feel like flying.
[Grumpy]
Ho Dong! It looks like you're not getting any circulation in your head.
[TIGHT]
You look like Iron Man.
Wow, looks cool.
[Let's fly.]
[Up?]
[Really?]
[He's up!]
[How does it feel to fly?]
[Inspiring]
[Ho Dong on the other hand...]
[Should I try flying?]
[Crash]
[How about this time?]
[Crash again]
[He can't fly because he's too heavy.]
Lift it!
[He was up for like one second.]
Why aren't you coming out?
[Ho Dong submarine]
He likes diving!
He's still diving.
Kang Ho Dong going for his dive! Good!
[Ten out of ten!]
[He's finally hovering.] He's getting it.
He's good.
[Entering with the heroic music]
[Here comes the man in red and blue.]
[I'm Superman above water!]
[Summer of 2013 at Yangpyoung, Korea]
[Slightly flying above water to find his dream... ]
Superman!
[Ji Won Superman!]
[Do I look good?]
You look good Superman!
[He couldn't save the world, but he's still having fun.]
[His tights are heavily soaked in water.]
Superman drifted here.
I lost my cape.
- Did you get this? - Oh yeah.
[Couple of Days Later YG Headquarters]
[Ji Won is here to see Epik High.]
YG HQ, it's my first time here.
Look who's here! Hello!
- Hi. - Am I the only one here?
- Where is Shi Yoon? - He's not here yet.
Come this way.
- Did you write the lyrics? - I didn't write anything.
This meeting wasn't for that.
You really didn't write anything?
[They are here for some work.]
You're not going to ask me to write it for you are, you?
Nah, I will write it.
- But I'd like to listen to the beat first. - You need the beat.
Trying to write it without anything...
His theme is Superman. So the beat should have the super hero feel to it.
What's the theme song for Superman?
Isn't that Star Wars?
[4 musicians here, and none of them have a clue.] They are in American movies.
All the songs are the same! The song writer gets paid for nothing!
Originally, we were going to use one of the beats
we ended up not using for our old songs.
I was going to pick some out.
Now that I heard your thought, I think it's a great idea.
I want to write a complete new song.
That's too much for me.
Dynamic Duo is probably going to go with one of their leftover beats.
That lacks effort.
We were all going to do that actually.
[Making a song in just two weeks is not easy.]
They could be having the same conversation somewhere.
Let's look up the theme song and try to make the beat.
And we thought that it could be too much for you to be on the stage alone.
Of course, you're a solo singer. You're more than capable.
- It could be less fun for you. - It's too much pressure.
We want to take that load from you. So let's find someone to feature in your song.
Anyone is okay.
It's featuring. I'd prefer a female singer.
That narrows it down. That takes out half.
I will narrow it down further for you. Get someone pretty.
[Does he think it's a blind date?]
How about Suzy from Miss A?
Suzy?
[The National First Crush: Suzy Singing with her?]
She's alright.
- His complexion changed. - I will call her.
I don't have her number.
Does anyone know Suzy's number?
[You didn't even know her?]
- Does anyone have her number? - Do you have JYP's number?
I have it.
But I'm afraid that he will say that he wants to do it.
I'm against that.
- Jin Young? - Yeah.
Why does he have so many numbers? Which one is it?
- These two are the same. - I will call him.
The number you've reached has...
Search for JYP's office number online.
[The road to Suzy's casting is road]
Don't worry, I will get her for you.
Are you sure?
Give me the number for JYP's office.
[The automated message is coming out.]
- Your conversation may get recorded for... - It's getting recorded!
- For auditions press one. - I want an audition.
- For business relationships press four. - What did she say?
Business relationship!
We need to make a deal.
You can really look it up online and call them?
It's Sunday!
What is this, a bank? We need to call in business hours for featuring?
You have to avoid the lunch hours.
Hi!
Hello?
[ The phone line is crossed.]
[I asked for too much.]
Everyone here works in entertainment business
and no one knows Suzy's number?
Who could know Suzy's number?
- Suzy's number... you don't know it? - I do.
You do? How do you know?
She's close to Soo Geun.
[Oh you are going to get her number from him.]
- Is there food? - We ordered some noodles.
Let's eat then. I'm hungry.
It's a private phone call.
[He's calling Soo Geun to get Suzy's number.]
- Soo Geun! - Hey, Ji Pal!
Hey, we're shooting Barefoot Friends right now.
- Okay. - Do you have Suzy's number?
Why are you asking me?
We want to ask her to be featured in our song.
- I know her mother's number. - Huh?
- I know her mother's number. - That's good enough!
- That's better. - I will give you her mom's number. You can talk to her.
Bye.
Suzy's mom?
[Park Jin Young, JYP Office, Lee Soo Geun, Suzy's mother] He's close with her mom.
Are they in the same age?
- Really? - Suzy's mom.
I will call her.
[It's so hard to talk to Suzy on the phone]
- You're going to say hi? - We have to say hi all together.
- Hello? - Hi, is this Suzy's mother?
Yes, who is this?
Hi, I'm Tablo from Epik High.
Oh hi.
[It's hard to trust these phone calls.] Do you know who I am?
- I do. You're Kang Hye Jung's husband. - Yes!
We're in the middle of shooting. We got your number from Lee Soo Geun.
We wanted to cast Suzy.
You know Eun Ji Won right?
- Yes. - We have to write a song for him.
We thought that it would be great if Suzy is featured in our song.
Could you please call your daughter and ask her?
I don't think she would answer our phone call.
Hello, this is Eun Ji Won.
Oh hello.
This is my number.
- Really? - It's okay if she can't.
Everything needs to work out with the schedule.
I will first call Suzy and have her manager call or... yeah.
Thank you and stay well.
Thank you for talking to us.
Thank you and stay well!
- Thank you! - Thank you!
Go Suzy!
I feel like we've already accomplished so much.
How about Suzy's mother featuring in our song?
- Hi! - Hi.
[Shi Yoon is at the studio too.] Because we were so focused here...
When he first came in, I thought, 'What's he doing here?'
I was like, 'Isn't that Yoon Shi Yoon?'
We were so focused. [He brought his note.]
- He brought his notes. - You brought your notes? Let me see that.
I just wrote this.
- I did jot down some... - He wrote a lot.
He wrote a lot!
He wrote a lot.
I can see that he's been really trying.
We were trying to get Suzy.
[Surprise]
We will take good care of you, too.
- You guys casted Suzy? - No no.
You got him all confused.
- The direction of Ji Won's song. - We sort of got it.
[Ji Won's song will be an upbeat song with the concept of Superman]
What kind of song do you want to make?
- You wrote so much. There is a story about bikes? - It's a bike story.
They are all bike stories?
The busiest town in the world
The town with the laziest kid, me
I need to walk 10 minutes to go to the supermarket where they have candies
Passing by passing by
Gotta walk 10 more minutes to see the only neighbor with video tape player
Passing by, passing by
Walk another 20 minutes to get to the swing that I need to wait an hour to ride
We have the title, 'GPS Navigation.'
It's a navigation.
I think that Ji Won can go with an upbeat with his overall theme.
But Shi Yoon's song needs to focus on making the people listen to the lyrics.
Rather than making it upbeat...
We will need to do it with a piano background.
Or acoustic guitar background.
Give the sense of nostalgia.
What's your song about? I heard you talking about Superman.
It could sound like a hollow dream.
There are supermans in our daily lives.
In a sense, you're a superman in the field you're good at.
My song is 'Navigation.' Yours is 'Masters of Daily Life.' (Comedy show.)
[Si Yoon's song 'Navigation'] [Eun Ji Won's song 'Masters of Daily Life']
You should have Byung Man featuring instead.
[Ji Won's featuring from Suzy to Byung Man]
Suzy can ride the bike with me.
I got a phone call. I think it's Suzy.
- Is this Suzy? - Yes, it's Suzy.
- Hi, this is Eun Ji Won. - Hi, I'm Tablo from Epik High.
Give me that.
Tablo is right next to me, but you don't have to worry about him.
We're going to write a song with Epik High, and do a live performance.
- Okay. - And we need you for that.
- Me? - Yeah.
We want you to be featured in the song.
- Featuring? - Yeah.
- I would have to sing right? - Yeah.
- You want to rap instead? - (Laughing), no, no.
You can do anything.
You can just come and breathe here.
Do I have to do the featuring and be in the live performance?
Yeah, you have to be in the performance. It's going to be next Sunday.
Oh... wow.
[This kind of reaction isn't unfamiliar]
- Suzy. - Yes?
It's okay if you can't do it. We understand.
I would have to check my schedule.
- I'm sorry. - I'll take it as a 'no' for now.
[Giving up fast is the way to getting hurt the least]
- You have something else today? - Yeah, I have a practice today.
You want to practice already? We don't have the song yet.
Thank you for calling us today.
Thank you.
She's nice.
I think she can't do it because of her schedule.
And it's next Sunday.
Your performance is next Sunday?
[Takes notice]
Let's practice all night then.
[Ugh...]
[They have to get used to Shi Yoon's youth.]
Does he have the energizer bunny inside of him?
Let's do it. Just utter the words as you like.
The busiest town in the world The laziest kid living in the town
The town I'm living in, I'm late again and my grandma scolds at me.
Gotta walk 10 minutes to get the Supermarket to get treats
Passing by passing by
That's good for now.
It's hard to stay on beat.
It's not easy.
[Ji Won is composing first with his Superman theme]
That's Superman's theme song.
That part.
[Ji Won is serious when it's about music.] Right here?
Make that into the main theme?
What do you want to do during that part?
[The choreography of Superman ripping his shirt]
[Please look forward to the great extreme performance of Ji Won's Superman]
[Ho Dong visited Dublekick's studio.] Hi Ho Dong.
We have a few songs ready for you.
- The beats? - After I heard your story...
I picked out a few background music.
You want to hear them?
It's raining heavily.
And we can hear you training, one, two, one two.
You would look tired.
This is where you start rapping.
We were thinking right here.
You would talk about having a lot of thoughts
in that one minute before you fell asleep.
You would think about why, why she didn't come in that one minute.
So the song title is 'One Minute.'
Jang Geun. I know that you have something stashed. Take it out.
It's alright!
Jang Geun look! You know when you give someone a gift!
Say it's clothes. Say I opened the closet.
Most people would give something they don't wear as a present.
That's not a present.
A good person gives his favorite clothes.
Now that's a gift!
It's got to be something you're not so ready to let go.
So give it to me.
If we have a great beat then we would give it to you.
The good song should find the right person.
It's like clothes.
They are good clothes for singers.
But it may not fit you.
It may be a bit too tight on you.
You may hear that you're fashionable.
That's why I wanted to keep it stashed.
The title is 'Frustrated.'
[Starts off with an upbeat melody]
The front part would have the narration.
But you could just talk to your old self.
Hey, Ho Dong, listen. You were such an idiot back then.
I was really frustrated.
The pork cutlet that you want, say ah I will put it right in your mouth
[You want me to do that?]
There's a singing part. I'm frustrated, I'm frustrated that you're not here
[Smiling broadly]
It goes like this.
It's a song that you can really sing.
You want to try it now? Just do the narration part.
Try to feel how it comes out.
We're going to make it a baby voice.
You don't have to go with the rhythm. Just take it easy.
[Recording the narration before the rap.]
Hey Kang Ho Dong! Go tell her!
Say that you like her! You want to see her and go out with her.
You fool! Use your size! Man up and go!
Okay! Now try making a baby voice.
[Now recording a baby voice?!]
You have to make the baby voice with my recording. How can I make a baby voice?
Just take it easy with your native dialect.
Baby voice.
[Okay.]
You want me to talk in a baby voice?
- Can you hear it? - That's what your voice is going to sound like.
Okay.
I will keep going then.
[Is it a baby or a witch?]
We're going to start from the middle.
Think about the past?
When I say, 'Man up and go!' then I'd say, 'Oh.'
[They burst into laughter.]
Because I wouldn't be ready yet.
We will do the last part of the narration again.
[It's the last recording of the shy narration]
[It's recording. He didn't have to make the hand.]
Okay!
[He's a witch again.]
[The next day UEE works with Dublekick too.] Are you making our songs here?
- Yes, we do make it here. - We record here.
I can hear Ho Dong's song?
- Ho Dong's recording? - Of course, you can.
[Ho Dong's song. What is this?]
Hey, Kang Ho Dong! Go tell her!
No! I'm embarrassed!
Go tell her you like her. Tell her you want to be seeing her.
Ask her to go out with you!
What if she says no? Fool! Use your size and man up!
Go right now!
Wow!
He played a double role in the narration.
The intro is really good.
Ho Dong kind of robbed that from us.
He robbed it? I should have come first.
You do have better songs right?
It's not even going to be comparable.
It has been selected again and again.
Really?
- My song is better than Ho Dong's? - Of course!
Can I listen to it?
Wow.
[An exciting intro.]
[Sound of baseball commentating.] It's the sound of a baseball game.
- It's going to start like that. - Wow!
Like Lee Hyo Ri's song.
'My name is Lee Hyo Ri, Read it backwards and it's still Lee Hyo Ri.'
- It's easy right? - Yeah.
This is where it comes out. Ta! Ta-ta-ta-ta Ta!
La-lalalalala La! Hey!
- Daddy! Daddy! - Wow!
I hope you like it.
I love it!
This is going to make a hit!
It's going to be a great gift for your father.
[Stay tuned for the song for UEE's father, Kim Sung Gab.]
- Have you written lyrics before? - It's my first time.
But you know I went to the ball park.
I got a few hints from my father.
- So I brought some notes. - You took notes?
- Show it to us. - These are my notes.
I took some notes. A small figure of 168 cm.
My father who doesn't look like a baseball player
was always a giant to me when I was always at the last place.
I grew even taller than my father, but he is my guardian forever.
Although I became a daughter that doesn't show affections as much
I have gotten taller and wider enough for my dad to lean on me.
I think I can protect him now.
You're forever the best man in my life.
I could never tell you this because I was shy. I love you and I respect you.
I took down some notes.
- Should we try to make it into a rap? - Should we?
Let's listen to the song and make it into a rap.
It's nervous to be in the recording room.
[What's UEE's song going to be like?]
Do you have someone in mind for featuring?
I would like for you to do it.
But I'm going to sound gloomy.
- It's okay to pick anyone. - I really want you.
This is getting worse.
[I don't want to do it.]
Why do you hate work? [Do it!]
I was full of energy until you came in here.
I'm all out of energy all of the sudden.
That's weird. I feel sick.
- He's really difficult. - I have to do vocal training.
- Let's go up on stage together. - It's okay.
How about we rap while we ride on bikes?
He's not going to back off.
I don't want to do it!
I want to make a stage.
I want to show a drama for a few seconds.
A feeling of nostalgia and showers.
You want to make something now? Stop. Please stop.
His excessive passion makes my heart stop.
I have ideas for three sections.
[Full of Motivation!!]
His excessive passion is really annoying.
- Good luck! I will be back in 30 minutes! - Stop!
[Sunken~]
[Epik High is getting tired from Shi Yoon's requests.]
I hear your voice.
Yoon Shi Yoon keeps calling me. 'Do we have the song ready.'
Of course not! You should write the song then.
Hi.
[Why is Ho Dong so shocked?]
[A Pink's Jung Eun Ji will be featuring for Ho Dong.]
- Ho Dong knows how to love. - Hey! don't lie!
[The song concert is coming closer!]
[One day before the concert.]
All the other members are singers except Shi Yoon and me.
Getting up on stage isn't just a lot of pressure.
It's fear.
It's a lot of lyrics to memorize.
I didn't memorize them all, but the concert is tomorrow.
I'm really worried.
But it's also true that I'm excited somewhere deep inside of me.
Half excited, half scared, and half thrilled.
Kang Ho Dong! [The concert day!]
[The stage is being prepared.]
[Concert start!]
[All the members have arrived! 8/4/2013]
It's the concert day.
I'm in trouble. Why can't I memorize the lyrics?
[Everyone is trying to memorize.]
I couldn't get ready because of my concert yesterday.
I had a dream last night.
I had forgotten the lyrics in the dream.
[The one that should be worried the most is Kang Ho Dong!]
[Memorizing.]
[I want to run away.]
[Jung Eun Ji is here.]
Hello.
[Fell asleep from the worries?]
- Hey, one minute! - Think about me.
Think about me.
It's the same.
One way! Just go one way!
- We can't do this? - That's confusing!
You can go like this and then like this!
Then I get confused!
You're not going to get confused.
Let's just go one way only.
[Final rehearsal]
[Mistake from the beginning.]
[It's two hours before the concert.]
[Is he going to be okay?]
[Stay tuned!]
[During the actual concert]
[Ho Dong forgets the lyrics.]
[Was it too much for him?]
[Ho Dong fails his concert?]
This is hard.
I can't remember the lyrics.
This is good enough, right?
You can go more dramatic for the rap part. But it's good yeah.
[Final rehearsal is over!]
[Guests start coming in.]
[The performance time draws closer]
[The performance is coming. He's trying his best to memorize the lyrics.]
I can't remember again.
What am I going to do?
[Practice is over. It's show time.]
[Performance start]
[Backstage right before Ho Dong's turn.]
[Nervous]
[Will Ho Dong be okay?]
- Are you nervous? - I'm nervous.
You've been on stage a lot.
But I've never done this before.
I have to get nervous.
- But being nervous has its perks. - You're right.
- It's not fun if it's not trembling. - Yeah.
[Ho Dong became quiet.]
This goes right.
It's always to your right.
[Choreography? That's just too much.]
[He can't get it wrong.]
[It's Ho Dong's turn!]
Kang Ho Dong!
[Ho Dong's 'My Story.']
[Going back to Ho Dong when he was 17 years old]
[To talk about his first crush.]
- Let's go have fun Eun Ji. - Okay!
Bye.
We're going to have a lot of fun!
[We hope you do.]
[Ho Dong's appearance]
Isn't that Jung Eun Ji?
A Pink? A Pink!
['One Minute Ago']
Hip hop!
Eun Ji! You remind me of someone I loved.
I didn't know that a pig could love.
I can love too.
Don't lie to me.
You want to hear my first love story?
Okay tell me.
[Will he be okay?]
They say that I'm a star athlete
[Woah~]
I was pissed, so I said yes, yes, yes
I fell in love at first sight with you
All of my feelings burst out for you
I don't care what you call it, it's my love for you
I'm telling you that I love you!
Tomorrow at 12
Come out to see me
Don't just come out to see me come out to keep on seeing me
We were supposed to meet at noon it's already past 8 and dark
I was there yesterday, and you ended up not coming
Good night, it's one minute before I fall asleep
I fell in love already thinking about you
[It's fun]
Goodbye, my first love
I was a kid back then I learned about my love then
[Second Choreography!]
One minute before, I think about you One minute later, I fall asleep
It's all the same when I wake up
A day without you is
I think about you one minute before
I fall asleep a minute later
It's all the same when I wake up
[The second verse now begins.]
[He got the off-beat part right.]
That's my first love
My life is a real mess
I hear the song over the radio, 'Heeya, look at me'
Can't we sing together?
'Heeya, look at me'
We were supposed to meet at noon it's already past 8 and dark
Is she stuck on traffic? Is she hurt somewhere?
We were supposed to meet at noon it's already past 8 and dark
I waited the day after, why don't you come!
Good night, it's one minute before I fall asleep
I fell in love from thinking about you
Goodbye my first love
I was a kid back then I learned about love for the first time
I think about you one minute before, I fall asleep, one minute later
It's all the same One more time!
I think about you one minute before, I fall asleep one minute later
Oh! I'm sorry!
[Singing is hard.]
[No more!]
[Bump]
[He's up.]
I fell in love from thinking of you
Goodbye my first love
I was a kid back then I learned about love for the first time
I think about you one minute before, I fall asleep one minute later
It's all the same when I wake up you're not there
I think about you one minute before, I fall asleep one minute later
Scream!
My Story! My Song!
Dublekick's One Minute Before!
[A perfect stage with just two weeks of preparation]
Kang Ho Dong!
Let me say one more thing!
[Huh?]
People mistreat me just because I'm fat.
But I rap here happily.
All of you scream with me!
Scream with me!
[With a great ending performance!]
- Yeah! - That was cool!
When did he prepare that finish?
Oh my god! Oh my god!
Eun Ji!
- I don't know how I did it. - Me neither.
Why doesn't it fall at the end? It was so hard to let it go.
- How was I? - You looked like someone who does this for living.
- Don't flatter me too much. - I really mean it.
- Are you nervous? - This is worse than the music show.
[A lot of pressure after Ho Dong's performance.]
It's okay.
[Everyone was shocked.]
- You were really good. - You looked so cool.
You were the best. You had the best hip hop today.
Whatever.
[It's Hyun Joong and Dynamic Duo's turn.]
[Hyun Joong's first try at hip hop.]
[Hyun Joong's stage]
[In a moment]
[Son Hyun Joo visits Running Man]
[Variety with body.]
[Find the hints in the city.]
[Who is going to win the hide-n-seek?]
I don't think we can win this.
[Coming up in Running Man, Hide-n-Seek Race]
[Hyun Joong's first try for hip hop.]
[Hyun Joong's stage]
[His fans are here for his performance.]
[Hyun Joong's 'My Story' is?]
It's okay if my voice cannot be heard.
I want you to scream louder than my voice.
Everyone! Have you heard dogs bark?
[Me?]
- How do they bark? - Woof, woof!
- Dogs? How do they bark? - Woof! Woof!
They bark much louder.
- What? - What?
Okay, let's go!
[Hyun Joong's performance.]
[Unpredicted trouble.] We're in trouble.
[A lot of pressure.]
[Expectations for the singers.] I feel pressure.
This doesn't look easy.
[If someone is going to listen to 'My Story.']
[My Story just for you.] A performance without regrets.
I want it to be touching performance.
I will do my best. Thank you. [Will you listen to my story?]
