Adolescence Medley
Choi Jeongu
Hey, Mr. Lim. How have you been?
I got your text message
I was just thinking of you while backing up the photos.
How funny
How have you been?
Same old, same old
Business is slow, so it's tough
Are you free tomorrow?
I got to go to work
A part-time teacher like me doesn't get paid-leaves.
Once I get certified. I'm going to quit.
The grandpa from the store passed away.
The memorial is Wednesday morning. We should go
I'm calling everyone I can.
Okay.
I'll talk to my boss and try to change my schedule.
Okay.
Bye.
10 years ago
And fall asleep in silence
Fail?
Was it that bad?
You couldn't capture the audience's heart
The audience?
Do you want me to help you?
I'll help you with your song
I will
You know
Huh?
Jeongu, can I request a song?
Sure, tell me whatever you want
Something to cheer me up
I want you to sing something that would cheer me up.
Sure, I will
Choi Jeongu, who knows how to enjoy life
is the winner of the National Singing Contest!
Ha!
Jump!
Our homework is to not take sides.
If you don't scream, you're the tagger today
I live to look good and die to look good
There are no tears on the path
that a true man takes
A man should not be discouraged
Keep your pride
And there will be no tears
30 minutes free for participants of the Singing Contest
That mean girl
Hey!/- Yes?
Is Yeokho really coming?
Definitely. He won't fight you back, today
Really?
So the mighty Yeokho will just stand still?
Well, actually, it's because
Yeokho is preparing to become a pro boxer
Boxing? Really?
The pro test.
That's why he can't fight you.
He'll get expelled if he fights.
Excuse me.
Keep your big fat mouth shut
Why are you doing this? This isn't right.
Then, you'll just have to help us.
Right?/- Yes sir.
Yeongbok
Hey, long time no see.
You've been hiding from us.
Here's your brother's comic book
And this is the rental fee.
You said your brothers like tteokbokki.
What the heck?
This is no way to treat guests
Brown Bear. I think you owe us something, too.
That was so much fun
I didn't like school much since I started high school
But it's been fun lately
since you transferred to this school
Stop kissing up just because I paid for the karaoke.
No I really mean it.
A lot has changed since you came
The older students and the class president, too
You're a hero.
Namil High School's hero
I live to look good, I die...
Stop that
What's going on?
Brown Bear really has changed
Know your place!
An athlete, my foot!
You thought we'd let you off so easy?
This is for all the things that you've done to us.
Brown Bear?
Why is he just taking it?
I don't know
Let's not get involved, and just call the police
Wait
Why?
Are you okay? Sorry.
Your test to go pro is coming up. Take it easy.
Your body is your life. Relax.
I think I should help him.
What? Why? Deokwon!
Stop it!
Who is this runt?
You jerk.
Wonil, come over here
What are you doing?
We just came to get the comic book!
Just sit back and enjoy the show.
What the heck are you thinking?
Yeokho's been good to us. What's wrong with you?
Tell me!
You jerk. This is about Ayeong, isn't it?
Because she's dating that transfer student
You shouldn't take it out on Yeokho!
Have you lost your mind?
You like being his dog?
Tell me you jerk!
Stupid jerk.
What the heck?
You said your brothers like tteokbokki
Hey. Wonil
Stop it you jerk!
Have you lost your mind?
Hey, stop it, all of you
Why are you ganging up on him?
I know it's hard to get into that prep school
But look into it for me
Yeah, that concerns me more.
Ayeong is first here, but this isn't Seoul.
For a moment, I was jealous of Brown Bear
No
He looked cool.
Stop!
That hurts!
Look who's here
Did you come here to help Brown Bear?
Who do you think you are to come here?
What are you doing?
Get up and help him.
If he gets hurt, Ayeong will be heartbroken
What? You didn't know?
Wow
Sure, they pretend not to know each other at school.
But do you know
what's going on between your girl and him?
What are you going to do with that?
Yeokho! Are you okay?
Stop it already!
Stop
Why are you looking at each other?
What are you going to do?
Don't butt in and get lost, jerk
My glasses are all bent out of shape.
Those punks.
Hey, Dog
Yes?
Why were you here7
I was making a delivery and saw you
So you decided to jump in?
You arrogant punk.
What about your friend?
Stop acting cute
Gosh, I'm bleeding
Yeokho, should we sue them?
You know, Yeokho isn't a bad guy
You're a hero.
Namil High School's hero.
Hey, Deokwon. What happened to your face?
Did Yeongbok do this?
No, I fell while riding my bike.
That's clearly a lie.
Jeongu, look at his face.
Yeongbok did it.
That jerk, Yeongbok.
Let's teach him a lesson!
What lesson? I have big news.
Move in
Brown Bear and the Rainbow Gang fought on Saturday
Did some of the Rainbow members die?
No, they say Brown Bear had his tail handed to them
Really?/- Yeah.
But look at his face.
What happened-to you?
Deokwon, about Saturday
That's right. I have to go to the teacher's office.
Who fights better, Yeongbok or Brown Bear?
Brown Bear, of course.
It's a ginger-gardemaipack. It's good for bruises
Good morning
Can't walk faster?
Here
It's for your bruises
Don't be moved. It's not from me. It's from Yeokho
And.../- Oh, yeah. I'll run to the snack-bar.
Forget it! What do you take me for?
Go inside.
Here he comes
The selfish coward.
What's with these flies?
What's going on? Did something happen?
I have no idea.
Hey.
We meet again.
I applaud your courage.
But why must I tell you that?
Since you brought it up..
you should finish it.
You said not to butt in and get lost, so I did
Hey.
Are you naive or just stupid?
Hey, runt
You just ran away because you got scared.
Ask her yourself
what her relationship is with Lee Yeokho
You are not just toying with me, are you?
Why you little punk...
Just hit me. Let's get expelled together.
Shut it
About what? Getting expelled? Or Ayeong?
That is so weird.
Whenever I mention Ayeong...
Hey, Wonil
I don't care that you sold me out to the Rainbow Gang
But if you say her name again. I'll kill you for real
This is your lucky day
Hey, you know
You came here again?
Looking at that again?
Let's take a walk
Is Wonil..
still bothering you?
What? No
Why?
Nothing.
Is something bothering you?
The thing I told you last time
I thought it would be after the semester ended..
but I was wrong
Yeah
Mom says
it's for my education.
But I think it's too hard for my family..
to live here without my brother.
Has it been a year already?
Yes
I have the right to know
I'm not sure if you deserve to know
What about you? What right do you have?
Are you Ayeong's brother or something?
Choi Jeongu.
If you're asking as her boyfriend, don't talk about
rights, but think about how well you know her
Although it doesn't matter anymore.
Let's not delay
our fight any longer
See you after class
There won't be an end-day meetings today
It's going to rain, so there's no night study session.
Make them clean up before they go, okay?/- I'will.
Oh, wait
Stop by when you're done
I will
Is something wrong?
No.
Ayeong.
Ayeong, after class...
I have to see the teacher. Go home without me
Okay
Does your stomach hurt? You didn't eat earlier.
No
You scared me
Silence!
Keep it down, you brats
Choi Jeongu
What's going on? Why is he going with Brown Bear?
I guess he called for him.
Wait
Can't you stop them?
Jeongu's fighting because of me
Stay out of it
Must you go this far?
What's with everyone?
Everyone in school knows they're fighting
How could the toughest guy in Namil High sit quiet?
Huh?
Let's go talk out back
Yeokho has something in mind, so just calm down.
Got it?
Brown Bear is taking Jeongu!
Fight! Fight!
Really? This is huge
Go back in.
Why do you even carry a mirror, with that freaky face?
Seeing how you followed me here
you're a man of your word.
What?
I had to keep my word, too
so I called you out.
That means...
What is he saying? I can't hear
If I fight again,
I can't graduate.
Thank goodness.
But
too many eyes are on us.
So we have to do something
What the heck?
So
Come to the gym after school on Saturday. Let's box
What?
Whoever gives up first loses.
But if I fall even once,.you win
Okay?
See you then
You know, there are no nunchucks in boxing.
Lose that too.
They're going to box on Saturday.
I can't wait
Can he even box?
I said not to wait
It's okay. I wasn't really waiting
Okay. Thanks.
Ayeong, earlier, at lunchtime
What?
Nothing
What are you doing after school tomorrow?
Probably studying.
Oh, I have plans tomorrow.
With Brown Bear?
I'm going to fight him.
I know
Don't you have anything to tell me?
Tell me. What's your relationship with Brown Bear?
Why do you care?
Are you saying you're fighting because of me?
Why can't you tell me?
Well, you seem dose, but never talk to him at school
And.../- You know Lee Womilâ€
He kept following me around.
And Yeokho helped me out. Happy?
Was that so hard to tell me?
I asked so many times about Brown Bear
Jeongu!
Can't you stop calling him "Brown Bear"?
And why is that so important to you?
Even the weather stinks.
Jeongu.
Hey.
Walking down Yeongdong on a rainy day
Is this Yeongdong?
It's pouring.
It's pouring out. Where is this kid?
You should've said you were picking me up.
Huh?
My piano instructor couldn't go because of me
Were you at the arcade again?
It's so obvious
You talk so much for a little runt.
Fix the umbrella. I'm getting wet!
I can't see anything
What's this?
Hold on tight!
I can just walk home
It's okay. It's raining.
Still..
Still
Help!/- What's that?
Help!
Grandpa!/- Help!

She's over there!/- Yeongbok!
Yeongmi!/- No!
No!
Get a bigger branch.
Yeongmi! /- It's dangerous.
Yeongmi!/- Stop!
Let go!
You can't go in!
Let go of me!
Yeongbok!
Yeongmi!/- Hold on!
Jeongu!/- Help!
I'll tie this around myself, so hold on to me
What? It's too dangerous!
She's in more danger
Hey, Deokwon! Hey!

Deokwon!
You idiot!
Are you okay? You're not hurt?
Hey, you idiot!
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
I'm okay
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry
Ayeong!
There was an accident at the bridge in town
The foundation grew weak from all the rain this spring
Anyway, Deokwon and Jeongu were there
and helped save some people.
Deokwon's coming from the hospital, and Jeongu..
Jeongu, are you okay?
Yes
Let's give him a round of applause.
So cool
You look completely fine. How can you be so fine?
Deokwon is too sick to come to school, but you..
Yeongbok.
Hey.
Come here.
Here.
Give this to Deokwon
You have some, too.
And...
Nothing. Go on
I was forgetting...
who I really am.
It seems I'm the only one...
who haven't changed.
Why are you visiting this old man?
You should eat.
No, it's okay. Please let me.
You know my grandson, right?
He's strong, so he's pretty famous at school.
Yes. I know him too well
I raised him since his parents died.
so he's rough around the edges
but he has a kind heart
Yeah, I'm eating.
Don't worry about me, and be safe
Hey!
What was her name?
Yeah, Ayeong!
Buy her some nice foods.
Don't worry about me
Yang Yeongwung (October 30, 1985 ~ June 7, 2002)
You're not completely useless after all.
Excuse me?
Do you know him?
Good! Nice!
That's it!
You can't waste these hands in the gang
Okay, let's go.
One, two! You promised me, okay?
Never hit kids with these fists again
Fine.
He's the one who stopped Yeokho from fighting
He was a great kid
Hey!
Ayeong!
Hey /- Stop that
What?
Nothing
What is it?/- He thinks you're cute
You have such a big mouth.
Hey. Let me borrow this
I want to wear it for the camping.
Can I go with you?
No. Wait for your turn
It's my last trip before my pro test. You go next year
The sudden rise in water level of the rivers
has caused accidents resulting in many people missing
Many accidents involve junior high, high school and
college students, adding to the tragedy.
This is the current list of the deceased.
Kim Minju, Lee Eungi, Park Ayeong,
Kim Jihun, Yang Yeongwung.
Witnesses say Yang Yeongwung was swept away
while trying to save a child in the water
He saved one child and went back in to save another
and was swept off by strong currents
You have no idea, but Ayeong is tough.
She never cries a tear in front of people.
She was always like that
Although she'd bawl when she's alone
Get home safely.
I will. Good night.
Go to sleep. You must be tired.
Go to sleep first. I'm going to run a little.
That kid bought it for me.
He says he eats that whenever he's sick.
It gives him the energy of a tiger or something.
Thanks for coming.
Hello.
Big brother.
Huh?
Grandpa...
Couldn't you have waited a little?
At least until Yeokho get married and have kids.
But Jeongu, it's been so long
Why are you so busy? It's so hard to see you
Well, yeah...
Don't waste your time and get married
Grandchildren are the best gifts for your parents.
You sound like you have kids or something.
This kid...
Yeongbok's expecting his second child next month
Twins
Really?
Everyone looks the same.
And all settled in.
Jeongu, although you were skinny,
you always had a lot of guts. What happened to you?
I know, he had no fear.
Right./- Remember?
He took on Namil's thug, Lee Yeokho.
He was something./- Show some respect!
I don't know what happened to that courage or whatever.
Now, I'm just a little man who is seeking for a job.
Do you have a girlfriend?
No way
Are you still alone because you haven't forgotten
your first love?
Yeah, who was that girl you liked?
Your class president. The smart girl.
What was her name? Yang
Yang Ayeong./- Yang Ayeong.
I got it first.
Have you heard anything...
about Ayeong?
We have gym. What are you doing here?
Huh? Oh
I'll go first
I say, "Choi," you say, "Jeongu!"
Choi!/- Jeongu!
Jeongu!
Good luck!/- Are you going to be okay?
Hang in there./- You can do it
You okay?
You look scary. Relax and go easy on him.
Jeongu! You're our hope!
Jeongu! Knock him down!
Jeongu, guard up
Tell me if you're tired./- Guard!
Tell me if you're tired
Why don't you just give up?
You okay?
I don't think it's a good idea
Round one is almost over! Hang in there!
Hang in there
He avoids the punches so well.
Take it easy
Don't drop your guard
I'm sorry
Jeongu or Brown Bear
Yeah. Here. Nice choice
Who?/- Me, too
Yeah, that's the right choice.
Jeongu./- Great job!
If you're/tired, you can stop
You're a hero
Namil High's hero.
If you're asking as her boyfriend, don't talk about
rights, but think about how well you know her
Fight!
Turn! Duck!
Pretend not to see. hear or notice
That's how I wanted to live
Even if I was a coward.../- You okay?
Guard up!/-I didn't care
No! Get off!
Yang Ayeong.
I shouldn't have called out her name
Choi Jeongu! Choi Jeongu!
Everything got twisted since that day.
Including my heart
Do you like Ayeong?
Do you know whom I hate the most?
Who?
Someone who is all talk
I just don't want her to meet someone like that
Hang in there! Round two's almost over!
Yeokho1
What's your relationship with Brown Bear?
Was that so hard to tell me? I asked so many times
about Brown Bear./- Jeongu!
Can't you stop calling him "Brown Bear"?
Jeongu!
Jeongu! Are you okay?
What are you doing? Count!
Hurry. Count
It's not over yet. Get out
Go
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Stop it!
Choi Jeongu!
Count! Hurry!
Get up
Something to cheer me up
I want you to sing something that would cheer me up
Sure. I will
One, two, three, four, five, six
I'm up
Jeongu!
Choi Jeongu!
Fight!
Jeongu!
Jeongu! Are you okay?
Jeongu!
Get up!/- Jeongu!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Let's continue!
What the heck?
Jeongu, are you okay?
Why is that so important to you?
I wish you'd be more responsible
Why won't you give up?
Why? Is it because Ayeong's watching?
You don't want to lose easily in front of your girl?
Well, I don't know
There's...
something seriously wrong with me
If it's because she's watching
don't just get hit. Throw some punches
I'm going to stop pretending not to hear or notice.
I want to be able to stand
with dignity before you
National...
Singing Contest!
What are you singing on National Singing Contest?
Something that would cheer people up.
I'm going to Seoul this Sunday
It's the day Jeongu goes on National Singing Contest.
Ayeong, why did you agree to go out with me?
It's a secret.
Jeongu.
I'm
transferring out.
