Hello, I am number 47 Choi Choon Hee.
Please enjoy.
Oh, President.
You chose a trot song. That's unusual.
Is there a special reason you chose this song?
When I was a child
I grew up listening to my mom's songs in the market.
This is a song my mom remade.
Let's listen to the song.
Passing by hills and hills
Why is she like that?
Look at her.
Even if I pass them all, it's an endless mountain pass.
Living in this world, living this life
Let's listen a bit longer. I find it interesting.
If I was living with my beloved
Whether it's a thousand or ten thousand years
The two of us
living in this world, living in this life
is spicy, spicier than hot pepper.
Passing by hills and hills, there is still one left.
She should have started off like this!
Even if I pass them all, it's an endless mountain pass.
Living in this world, living in this life
It's spicy, spicier than hot pepper.
If I was living with my beloved
whether it's a thousand years, or ten thousand
The two of us will live lightly.
Living in this world, living in this life
is spicy, spicier than hot pepper.
I'm going to give you a fail on stage manners.
That rude...
I will let you pass.
I don't know much about music.
Therefore I only looked at the audience's reaction.
Everybody was so excited.
I was excited too.
Isn't that what singing is about?
It was an exciting performance.
However, your appearance isn't very satisfying
and there are lots of things that were lacking from a professional view.
Therefore, I...
will not let you pass.
If she gets two not passes, doesn't that mean she fails?
She failed.
Congratulations on your first stage performance.
There was a singer I liked a lot before.
You are so similar to her.
Therefore I'll be your first fan.
Thank you.
Hey! Choi Choon Hee!
- I'll see you again then. - Yes. Thank you.
How can you turn back and sing?
Did anybody say they want to watch your butt while you're singing?
I even sent texts telling you to look at the judges.
Anyway, since you failed the audition
there's no reason for us to see each other again. Okay?
Hey! You bastards.
How are you going to pay back the money now?
I'll pay it back by working part-time jobs.
You're going to pay back $30,000 by working part-time jobs?
You can't!
Hey, what is that?
Since you always carry it around, it must be expensive.
How much can you sell it for?
This is not something I can sell or buy.
This is something precious the artist has been holding onto during his death.
This seems expensive.
- Give it to me. - No! You can't!
- What are you staring at? - You can't! Bury me instead!
Why are you doing this?
Let him go! Dad is my problem!
- How can we let him go? - Let go!
I said let go!
Miss Choi Choon Hee!
I'm President Ho from President Ho Entertainment.
Can you talk with me about your contract please?
Hey, how much debt did you say you have?
$30,000.
You take $30,000. I take $30,000.
Splitting in half would be just enough, right?
We need $2000 interest.
How can you say you need $2,000 more now?
Okay, okay, okay.
$62,000. I agree.
That's right. Isn't that better?
It's accurate.
- Let's enter. - Yes, let's.
We're going to talk between artists.
I'm an expert at this.
Just believe in me.
That's right. Do your best!
Bro, I feel like I've seen President Ho somewhere a lot.
I don't know.
- The contract is only worth... - Don't do it if you don't want to.
- Can't you give us a bit more? - Why are you acting like this?
Don't you know this too
how much it costs to raise a new singer?
I'll do my best to train her.
I'll give her the best staff.
By the way, Mr. Jang Joon Hyun
how did you end up here?
I never dreamed that top star Jang Joon Hyun would come here.
You can prepare the contract right now, right?
[Your overdue fees must be paid to use your card.]
Why is their talk taking so long?
Miss, shouldn't you go in?
No. This is something the manger should take care of.
What is that? Did they order noodles?
- Stop him. - Hey delivery guy.
Put that down.
Why are you doing this?
There's only one order.
- Jang Joon Hyun! - What is this?
Where did he go?
He's not here.
We got cheated by that bastard.
Miss Choi Choon Hee
we've already paid you the signing fee.
I'm in charge of your schedule from now on. Okay?
- What? - Also...
since you've worked hard for the audition
rest today.
Starting tomorrow, fighting.
$10,000?
That bastard took that and ran?
How much was it?
Your account is set up.
[38 missed calls from Boo Jae Joong]
Please enjoy your rest.
All lives end up buried in a grave called a wallet.
Should I say I just took as much as I deserved?
This all started because of her.
Isn't that so?
I fell to the bottom because of her.
[Crazy medal girl]
I'm sorry.
If you keep doing this, my battery will run out.
Okay. Don't pick up.
If you pick up, you'll die in my hands.
The number you are calling cannot be reached.
Where are you?
Do you want to get killed by me?
Hello President.
I'm debuting today?
Yes. Today.
But we need to prepare a title song a few months before debuting
and I need to adjust my condition...
- But I'm President Ho. - Oh my.
Gosh. Our little miss has a hard life indeed.
She got sold by that bastard and has to work here.
Where can we find that rat Jang Joon Hyun?
However bro, since our little miss gets posters like this
she must be pretty good at singing, right?
No!
President!
Is that perhaps me?
- Yes. - That doesn't make any sense.
Is that what I look like right now?
Is that why you wouldn't give me a mirror?
[Choi Choon Hee performing]
I can't do this!
Hey! Why are you doing this? Why are you tearing the posters?
I spent money to print these.
I can't sing here.
You're being ridiculous.
You think you would be on Music Tank the first day?
- That's not what I mean... - You signed a contract.
The cancellation fee is three times what I paid you.
- Can you pay me that? - I never received your money.
Seriously. Here. Look here carefully.
Here. Look. This is a contract signed with your agreement.
That's your signature, right?
Also, this is the contract your manager Jang Joon Hyun gave me.
Jang Joon Hyun has received the $10,000 contract fee.
Correct? Okay?
Seriously.
Okay. It's only for 6 months.
If you hold back and work, you can pay back your debt.
You know the final round of the audition starts this afternoon, right?
Y-Yes.
What are you watching?
The number of views is amazing.
She already has a fan club.
Choon Hee Love?
This is what the audience wants to see.
I told you I had a good feeling about her.
That's true.
I didn't know your thoughts and I failed her...
Let's bring her here.
Do you know Miss Choi Choon Hee's contact info?
Hello?
Is this not Miss Choi Choon Hee's cellphone?
What the heck?
People are all waiting.
Glamour!
On those green pastures, I'm going to build a dream house.
With the man I... Why are you doing this?
- Come here. - I don't want to!
- I said come here! - I don't want to!
Mister, get off. Get off.
I'm asking you to get off!
This girl!
Oh my! Oh my!
Things got complicated.
You saw how the stage became a mess.
Also, I normally give Miss Choi Choon Hee a lot of songs to sing.
I paid her for the contract.
I even made her posters.
I probably spend thousands just on posters...
So...
how much do you need?
Let me see. I'm always doing a lot of businesses.
Okay, fine.
I'll consider it if you pay me 10 times the contract fee.
I'll pay you the original amount.
Think about the quality of the product.
Aren't there too many flaws?
The quality of the product? Flaws?
She doesn't have any stage experience
and she doesn't have good stage manners.
Must you have stage manners for the audience to like you?
The audience's reactions wasn't good.
You saw it too. The audience was mad and it failed.
That's... Well, didn't she do well at the auditions?
Isn't that why you saw potential in her and came?
She doesn't match the stage here.
She's just going to cause trouble every day like today.
It seems like she has quite a temper as well.
T-temper... I think her temper is fine.
She's not sexy as a woman either.
Sexy... Agreed.
Still I spend so much money on her...
You people. I'm right here.
How can you say that in front of people?
Am I an object?
What are you doing right now?
- What? "You"? - You and you.
See? I told you she has quite a temper.
Agreed.
Were you hurt because I said you're not sexy?
Well, it's the truth.
Listen up Misters.
I'm already feel wronged to death because I got sold here.
But you're going to sell me again
to this person?
You wanted me to sign a contract with you last time.
Leave. Leave. I'm not going with you.
Just keep in mind that I'm never going with you.
If she says so herself, good luck to you.
Where are you going while we're talking President Jo? President Jo!
Are you not going to sign the contract?
Miss Choi Choon Hee!
Wait a moment, Miss Choi Choon Hee.
What is it now?
I've been wondering about something.
I'm asking this out of pure curiosity.
- How did you meet my father? - What?
Is it... It's probably not the first time you met.
Are you perhaps my hidden sister?
Younger sister?
What do you think I am? I am that ridiculous to you?
You feel like you can say anything to me
just because I'm here like this, right?
Look, I'm really curious about your father too.
If you're that curious, go ask your father yourself you psycho!
Seriously.
Mom, what should I do now?
Dad isn't here either.
I'm so tired.
Choon Hee!
Have you been well?
Where did you go though, Sister?
Your lips are red.
Oh, this. I was on stage just now.
You sang on a stage?
Then you wore a shiny dress too?
- Um... Yes. - I want to see you sing too.
You can't.
I can't?
Can I only see you on TV then?
When are you going to be on TV?
Whenever I'm living one of the best moments of life
I'll always miss your love that shines.
Why is it only $50?
Give me $10,000.
You bastard!
Sir. Sir?
Are you alright?
You can call me whenever you need help.
I'm just seeing things because I've been starving.
This is food for humans.
It's been a long time. Should I try cutting?
That makes me lose my appetite.
Go away. Go away!
Hey, let me eat please.
When you grow up, you can buy it and eat it too.
I keep thinking about her little sister.
Hey kid!
Mister!
I brought that here to teach you what real food is.
Aren't you thankful?
The things you eat every day are not food.
You have to take care of your own food.
You think the world is an easy place?
You think people will cut it for you just because you're young?
There's nothing like that in the world.
There. Eat.
By the way, what's your sister doing recently?
My sister?
She's busy recently.
- My sister became a singer like you. - Is that so?
She said she sings in a shiny dress.
You know what?
- She said she's about to be on TV too. - Really?
The broadcast station's PD's must all be deaf
seeing that your sister is going to be on TV.
That's called wasting air time.
Just know that.
What's wasting air time?
There's something like that.
I worried about her for nothing. She's doing well.
It tastes so good, right?
This is the first time you've eaten this, right?
Kid, why are you only eating bread though?
Why are you leaving the good stuff?
- It's bleeding. - Bleeding?
Where? Where did you get hurt?
This isn't cooked.
Meat is supposed to taste best when cooked like this.
Fine, forget the steak.
Why aren't you eating this?
It tastes weird.
This is bitter.
This one has weird color.
- And this one... - Quiet. Be quiet.
Do you know how much this is?
If you eat expired triangle kimbap every day
you'll get addicted to triangle kimbap. Understand?
It's not your fault.
You need to eat things to know what I'm talking about.
Pick something.
What is it?
You can't eat this either?
I can't choose.
I want this, but this looks good too.
That one too.
Why are you worrying about that? Just choose all of them.
Really? All of them?
Can you eat all of it?
Yes.
Here. Do you like it?
Yes. I like it.
Now I don't owe you anything.
I really don't.
Sorry for getting mad a while ago.
- It's okay. - Thanks.
If your sister's personality was half like yours...
I don't have money
and I don't have support.
I don't have any luck either.
How could I forget the lyrics there?
Wow. I found it.
Ma'am, spicy rice cake please. One order of spicy rice cake. Hurry.
I don't sell spicy rice cake sorry.
What? What is that then?
This is for this lady here.
I'll give you $10. $10.
You bastard! You well-off bastard!
Who are you to take other people's rice cake away?
I ordered it first.
This is really important to me.
My life depends on this so could you forgive me once?
My life isn't easy either.
My rice cake.
Ma'am, $50.
Ma'am, $60.
- $70. - Seventy...
$80!
$100! I'll give you $100 ma'am!
- $100... - Wait a moment!
I give up.
Are you crazy?
Who buys spicy rice cake for $100?
Looks like you're rich you violent bastard.
Crazy guy. Ma'am, I helped you raise it to $100.
- $100. - Wait a moment.
- Ma'am! - Ma'am?
I'm going to take this.
You bastard!
There's no rice cake places nearby. Do you know where I went?
I went to a really nice place.
This rice cake is really expensive.
Here. Eat.
- I'm hungry. - Good job.
- Why? Does it not taste good? - It doesn't taste good now.
I really wanted spicy food since I was eating steak.
But you missed the timing
since you came so late.
Oh, is that so?
I'm sorry.
You should have just bought this while you were outside.
O-Okay. Got it.
Can't I go after eating this though?
I didn't eat anything today. I'll finish this and go right after. Okay?
So you're telling me to wait for you to finish all that?
Looks like Jang Joon Hyun let things like this slide.
What should I do?
I can't stand that.
Why are you being like this?
I'm Shin Hyo Yeol. Shin Hyo Yeol!
You're dealing with Shin Hyo Yeol right now.
I'm bored.
My eyes are going to rot.
The legendary singer Yang Joo Hee and her daughter Park
Soo In, winner of Shine Star's audition, are both here.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
Hello.
Miss Park Soo In, congratulations on winning.
How happy are you, Park Soo In's mother?
Thanks to my daughter I'm getting some attention now.
Have you not thought of releasing a duet?
If I have a chance perhaps. It would be nice to sing with Mother.
Park Soo In is recently...
You made it.
Thanks for all the love you've been giving me...
I'm sorry, but you went over the card limit.
What?
Already?
Yes, Mom.
You said you would bring him. I've been waiting.
Then who am I supposed to eat dinner with?
I hate eating alone the most.
Oh my President. We meet like this.
Are you just leaving?
Our eyes met when I came out just a while ago.
What? When did I do that?
Just now. In there.
Looks like you were practicing.
Yes, because it's going to be my debut soon.
You're probably really busy then.
I was going to ask you to eat together.
Work hard then.
E-Excuse me President!
- Yes? - Would you buy me food please?
I want to be congratulated by you for winning.
You should buy me food.
We made a promise last time.
If you win, you will buy me food.
Oh right.
I know a really good place.
Why aren't you eating?
Do you not like udon?
It's not that. I thought since I was buying we would eat something special.
The udon here is special.
There aren't many places more special than here.
To eat udon like this we would have had to take a plane and go abroad.
I see.
If I like something, then it's the best.
Why? Are you disappointed?
No. Actually I like hidden restaurants like this too.
Where do I get money?
[Crazy medal girl]
[You're dead Jang Joon Hyun. Do you call yourself a man?
You lying bastard. That's right don't pick up!]
[If I see you you're dead!]
[You have a voice mail. Please press to listen.]
This is the first message.
Joon Hyun, you know you really shouldn't treat me like this.
I'm going to pay you back someday.
Joon Hyun...
Overreacting.
I told you I treated you well.
You're not human if you don't realize that.
Should I say I'm just repaying you?
Tae Song, I'm at Midas.
What are you doing not picking up your phone? You're not home either.
You said you're going to repay me.
Pay me now.
What is it?
What do you have to say in a quiet place like this?
Listen up.
I quit being your manager.
I'm not your manager anymore.
- What? - I'm going to be on stage now.
The company said they would make an album for me.
This prickly bastard.
Why? Am I funny?
Yes. The President never thought of making you a singer.
Because you were supposed to be my manager from the start.
What are you talking about?
What does that mean?
I'll give you some advice.
What are they doing? It looks serious.
That way you'll know despair. Look at Jang Joon Hyun.
Isn't it nice that he left after playing around for a while?
That rude...
Look at how he fell to the bottom.
That's what "refreshed talk" means.
It means feeling refreshed after saying all you want to say.
Joon Hyun is not someone people like you can talk about.
Even though his temper is bad
he is serious about music. Do you know that?
Tae Song...
I have a strange feeling since you're saying this.
Isn't that so? Why is Jang Joon Hyun so miserable today?
You're the one that did that.
I was so thankful to you.
No. I didn't do it.
He was going to become like that anyway.
The President already fired everybody.
He just made it faster.
I didn't do it.
However, you're the one at the site.
You gave the reporters information and uploaded the pictures.
To be honest, you wanted to get revenge on Jang Joon Hyun too.
I said no.
I said it's not like that. It's not!
Did I say something wrong?
- Oh dear. - Joon Hyun.
Talk. Tell me exactly what you bastards did to me!
Joon Hyun, it's not me. I didn't do it.
Where are you going?
You should follow them.
Yes, I understand...
- Jang Joon Hyun how can you... - I heard you did this.
I heard you planned the whole scenario to make me like this.
You bastard.
How can you do this to me? I built this building for you.
- Mr. Jang Joon Hyun, please stay calm. - Get lost!
Team Leader Na, stay outside.
- He might... - Stay outside.
Kim Woo Gap. Listen up.
I'm an artist.
I'm the god of music Jang Joon Hyun.
I'm different from the idols you picked.
I'm going to show you how I rise back up.
I will definitely not lose like this!
You're going to rise back up?
When you betrayed me
do you know what I thought?
I thought I had to kill you.
Not even the birds or the mice would know about it.
But it wasn't satisfying
because it ends too fast.
Therefore I decided to take away the thing most precious to you
which is music.
Because without your music you can't do anything.
Because you'll feel dead when you're alive.
You'll realize you're just a useless loser.
From now on, from albums to singles to the
music you like, you can't release any songs.
You're out from this industry forever.
I'm going to kill you bastard.
I'm going to destroy all of this!
- Let go! - Die!
I can't let go!
[Seoul West District Court Decision Notice]
Yes, President. It's Choi Choon Hee.
Here. Thank you President.
[Amount requested: $947]
[Make up $250. Hair $250. Clothes rental fee $517. Photo fee $380.]
[Amount requested: $947]
Excuse me. Does this mean my performance fee is $947?
Your earnings from this performance is $450.
However, the hair and makeup fees add up to $1397.
Therefore give it to me now.
You currently owe me $947.
What?
Oh right. You said you didn't have money.
Well there's an easy way to make money.
- What is it? - It's not hard.
You just have to sing and play
with customers in the salon room.
Huh?
It's not easy to get a room like this without a deposit.
You said you have a child too?
That's my sister.
Did anybody say she isn't?
Anyway, you have to make up your mind fast.
A lot of people came to see the room today already.
It's okay, right? Let's go all the way.
[Motel]
Yes, Byul.
It's me, Choon Hee.
Coach.
I brought Byul to my mother's place.
I'm going to send her home now.
Thank you Coach. I'll hurry up and get there.
Yes.
Seriously.
- It's all done. - You've worked hard.
- Thank you. - Yes.
- Yes. What is it? - The girl you recommended failed.
Did you know?
I'm calling to report that.
Since when did you call to report things like this?
That girl's really got a temper.
- Really? - Yes.
Where are you right now though?
I don't see you home at all recently.
Where am I? I'm in Hawaii.
The weather is so nice that the beach is crowded with people.
There's a cute girl here too.
Aloha!
I'll do it.
What?
I'll sing at the room salon.
You're sure that earns a lot of money, right?
Of course! Nothing earns more!
I'll do it.
Put your things in here.
Are we moving?
Where are we going?
What about Dad?
I'll text Dad.
Don't worry too much Byul.
What if Dad can't find us?
No way.
Why wouldn't Dad be able to find us?
Let's put in important things first.
I'll buy you new things later.
Move out the way.
Are you hiding something in there?
Move.
Move!
Where did you get this?
I'm asking you where you got this?
- Did you perhaps... - No. I didn't.
Then what are these?
Where did you get them?
If you didn't steal them, why aren't you talking?
Where did you get them?
M-My friend gave them to me.
Which friend?
The mister.
You met Jang Joon Hyun?
He bought this for you?
Where is that bastard?
- Where is that bastard? - I don't know. Really.
I'm not lying.
Do you know what money he bought this with?
This is the money he scammed from your sister...
Forget it.
What did you do wrong?
Let's pack a bit later, Byul.
Jang Joon Hyun you bastard. Seriously.
Sister.
Mister is appearing on TV.
What?
Jang Joon Hyun illegally entered Midas Company and assaulted the President...
That mister really seems to be a star.
To tell the truth you...
- That's everything. I was really wronged. - This bastard.
I feel so sorry. What should I do? Today is your dream stage.
I have something to do.
Let's keep in touch.
We have to remain good friends just like before.
You are out of this industry forever.
Jang Joon Hyun.
Come out.
Midas' President Kim came himself to withdraw the charges.
Therefore clear your mind and start living properly. Got it?
You were doing well once upon a time.
Sign here.
It's noisy.
What's so interesting?
Let's watch together.
[Withdrawing charges]
What?
What are you doing right now?
Once he comes out, I'm going to deal with him thoroughly this time bro.
He's basically a bit...
Hey, you... bastard.
What should we do? We didn't prepare tofu.
You pathetic guy.
You sold us out and jumped from the second floor to run away.
Next time we see you, you're here.
You beggar.
Are you kidding me?
That's all I have right now.
Therefore you can cut off my hand or drown me in water. I don't care.
But what are you going to do with me?
It's not like money will grow if you plant me in the ground.
Collect your debt properly.
Just give me three months.
Mr. Jang Joon Hyun.
You said Choi Choon Hee passed, right?
You felt something in Choi Choon Hee, right?
Then I'll take responsibility and make her a singer.
What are you suddenly coming here and talking about?
You need a $30,000 cancellation fee to bring her here.
Please let Shine Star make that investment.
Why do I have to accept your proposal?
Why should I believe in you?
I'll give this to you as deposit.
This is worth more than $30,000 where ever you go.
$30,000? This bastard.
Do you know how much trouble she caused?
The stage was broken and the mic wouldn't work.
Also there's photo and makeup expenses...
Then
how much would be enough?
If we measure it with money... Well, how much should I ask for?
Actually compared to money, I feel like you and I are similar.
What does that mean?
I'm sorry.
They're all lies.
I feel like dying.
You said you love me.
We asked for all the pretty girls.
Isn't she good at singing, bro?
Do you not know my type of girl?
I'm dying.
Here. Let's change the mood.
Here. Sing something exciting.
Tears are falling.
It's a tip. Tip. Okay?
I don't need tips.
Are you crazy?
All of you get out!
You want me to perform on your stage?
What stage?
Who wants you to stand on stage now?
Then...
Sing in a room salon.
What?
Sing in a room salon and play some live music.
If you match the customer's taste, you can earn quite a lot.
How about it?
There's trouble in a room.
They said there's a crazy and stubborn girl singing.
Crazy? Stubborn?
I said sing exciting songs!
Here.
Isn't he a singer?
Let's go.
My bro is talking.
Are you her husband?
If you're her husband
you should just make dinner and wait at home.
Why did you come here?
Did you make dinner before coming?
Hey, I'm talking.
That's unexpected.
Do you not hear me, you bastard?
How dare you drink our bro's alcohol?
Come at me.
I came here to die anyway.
Great. I didn't want to die alone.
Let's die together.
Bro, is he crazy?
What are you?
Make sure he can't perform on a stage again.
It's going to hurt. Bear it.
I'm different from you.
This crazy girl.
Look at that kick. He's a man after all.
You can do whatever you want with me
but don't touch this girl.
I need this girl.
Without this girl, being alive is the same as being dead to me.
I can do whatever I want to you?
Don't touch him!
You bastards.
Take her and leave.
Hurry up!
- Bro, I'll take care of all of them. - No.
No. That's not right.
If you play with this, you'll bleed.
Are you not going to stop there?
You bastard!
Hey, you...
Did that hurt?
Looks like you know pain as well.
Do you know what I've been through because of you?
Are you human?
You scamming bastard.
Let's go.
Hey, where are we going?
Are you not letting go?
Let's go to Shine Star.
I'll make you a real singer.
How dumb would I have to be to get scammed by you twice?
You wanted me to sing, to be a singer.
You signed the contract and then ran away with $10,000.
What is it this time?
How are you planning to sell me this time?
Also, you want to buy Byul shoes with the money you earned from selling me?
Did you like using that money to make my innocent sister side with you?
Are you human?
Everything you said is right.
I'm sorry.
I don't have anything to say to you even if I had ten mouths.
Sorry?
What are you sorry for?
Do you even know what you're sorry for?
Actually I thought it was all your fault that I became like this.
So I blamed you so much.
But... that wasn't true.
I'll say sorry first.
Sorry for running away with the contract fee too.
I didn't know you would be singing on a stage like that.
I thought you were getting proper training and singing on proper stages.
I know that everything I'm saying sounds like excuses
but everything you said was right.
I really owe my life to you.
Forgive me this one time, Choi Choon Hee.
I thought about it, but no matter how I think about it
you're the only thing I have right now.
You're the only way I can remain in this industry.
To be honest, I can't guarantee any results.
However, I think I can make you a real singer.
Therefore even though it's shameless, give me one more, just one more chance.
I'm begging you, Choi Choon Hee.
