Episode 4
Forgive me this one time, Choi Choon Hee
I thought about it
and 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 to ask
give me one more, just one more chance.
I'm begging you, Choi Choon Hee.
Crazy bastard.
You don't have to work at the night club starting tomorrow.
I talked with Shine Star.
I asked them to sign a contract with you and do their best.
So...
Do you really think I'm that gullible?
That's not...
Do you know what I felt like when working in the salon room?
I thought this was the end. I thought this was the bottom.
But you came to wait for me as if to show off.
How would a guy like you who's always been doing well
understand how someone like me feels?
I want to quit now.
Choi Choon Hee.
I really can't do this anymore.
That's true. There's no way she could do it.
I would feel exhausted too.
Hey! Aren't you going to start?
Oh, okay.
Stop!
Hey you, hold out your hand.
Just give him some money.
I'll pay him.
Thank you.
Can you not play more exciting music?
The mood is all dead because of you!
Why? Are you nervous?
Fine, I'll give you a drink.
That must be really refreshing.
Did it taste good?
How would a guy like you who's always been doing well
understand how someone like me feels?
You still think the whole world, no, the whole universe revolves around you?
Try living like that and see how your life turns out.
You have to study hard today.
It's the mister!
Mister...
He smells like alcohol.
Mister, wake up!
Your neck is going to cramp if you sleep here.
Byul, don't worry about him.
Let's go. You're going to be late.
Have you thought about it?
- About what? - What else could there be?
About working with me.
That's enough.
Byul, wait a moment.
Mister, please I'm begging you.
Can you at least give me some salary to live on?
I can't sell the house right now.
Please think about my situations. Please?
Have you ever worked in a place like this?
Yes. A few times.
You'll need some courage to hire this person.
There are two loan sharks chasing her.
I was brought down because of this person too.
Well if you want to experience that, go ahead.
Seriously you...
Seriously, why are you doing this to me?
Do you think it's fun to follow me around like this?
I'm not as free as you.
I'm not doing this because I have free time.
Choi Choon Hee, believe me just once.
I'll make you a singer.
Although it won't happen instantly
I can do it.
Don't you have to earn money to pay back your debt?
Since when did you become so interested in other people's debt?
Would a guy like that sell me and then run away with the money?
I'm really sorry about that.
But I put you back in your original place.
Forget about that.
I don't want to have anything to do with you now.
Therefore please disappear from my life.
Please!
Seriously.
Yes, Coach.
Yes.
My mom is left to travel in Europe for one month.
For one whole month?
She said her company was sending her or something.
She was so happy I couldn't even stop her.
It just ended up like that.
Welcome.
How many people?
- Two. - This way please.
Okay. Please call me after choosing.
W-What? She's already found a job?
Welcome.
Excuse me.
Can I ask you a favor?
Who is that?
You don't need to worry about him.
He looks like some celebrity, right?
Like... I can't remember.
- Excuse me. - Yes, sir.
You're that person, right?
The one who sang "Hot Pepper".
Sorry?
Is it not her?
That's right!
"Hot Pepper".
You've all seen the audition video.
That song's fun, right?
See, I told you it's her.
That video is crazy popular right now.
Signature, signature.
Please sign this for me. I'm your fan.
What? He asked for your signature.
I need to have a signature first.
Write your name. Your name.
Name... Oh, my name is Choi Choon Hee.
Yes. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Are you really crazy?
- Why are you clapping? - Look there.
Are you really crazy?
Turn it off.
You're really crazy.
Oh my oh my you're completely nuts.
Oh my this nutcase.
Hey, Choi Choon Hee.
How do you feel like after becoming a star?
Don't you know too that I'm not talented?
Stop faking.
You said you weren't talented when you first started running marathons.
I did?
You have the talent to make people happy.
Look at people's expressions while they were listening to you sing.
Do you still not understand?
I understood.
I haven't ordered any packages.
What is this?
I don't know. It was in front of our door.
There.
Open it.
This is the one I like.
Indeed. This one is too.
These are the melons you like.
Yes. Let's eat it together later.
Shall we eat meat for dinner today?
Daddy will earn money and then find you two.
Please wait for me a bit longer.
Dad...
Dad! Dad!
Dad...
Hey kid.
What are you doing there?
Dad sent us a letter.
Did you find him?
Sister.
Here.
What is this?
I saw Dad's letter.
If we have money, we can live with Dad.
Right?
Come here.
My pretty.
Check it out. There are turnips, onions,
potatoes, fruits and vegetables.
Even if I pass them all, it's an endless mountain pass.
- Your sister sings really well, right? - She's so pretty.
Can I pay back Dad's debt if I sign a contract with Shine Star?
What?
I asked you would I be able to earn money if I became a singer?
Of course. You may not earn a lot
but you'll definitely be able to pay back your dad's debt.
Okay. Fine. Let's try it then.
You said you're going to try?
You're going to sing, right?
You can't change your mind later!
He said we need money to live together again.
I don't think there's any other way right now.
But remember this one thing.
I'm not working with you because I forgave you.
You might betray me at any moment.
I'm going to use you so I can become a singer too. Got it?
However, can you sign a contract with a psycho?
Sorry?
Isn't that what you said to me at the night club last time?
You said I'm a psycho.
About that... I'm sorry.
I don't mind as long as you're fine with it
since I hear people call me that a lot.
Sit down please.
Um... How much signing fee can I get?
I'm in urgent need of money... a lot of money.
A new singer is talking about money already.
Her dad went somewhere because of money.
For my family to live together, I need money.
- I'll work three months for... - Not right now.
However, if you show talent later on
then the story changes.
Congratulations on becoming part of the Shine Star family, Miss Choi Choon Hee.
Thank you.
Yes, President.
Director Wang.
If there's something you don't understand,
feel free to ask Director Wang.
He'll give you a lot of help.
Right, Director Wang?
Director Wang.
Please show Miss Choi Choon Hee around the company.
Yes. Understood.
This way please Miss Choi Choon Hee.
Yes. Thank you.
Since she signed the contract, won't she need a manager?
Are you not her manager?
I'm her producer of course.
Aren't they the same?
Excuse me, but managers and producers are completely different.
Considering you have to pay them both, they're the same.
How come there are guys like that?
Yes, President Jo.
Choi Choon Hee just signed a contract.
Am I not Choi Choon Hee's producer?
Does it make sense for me to be a manager?
Then should I be her manager?
Okay.
I'll be her producer or manager or anything else
but in return you must release my comeback album.
I'll make you rank number 1 on the billboard charts within the year.
Remember your music career depends on this.
Got it. Please keep your promise.
We kept Miss Choi Choon Hee's house as you instructed
and we returned the rent too.
Good job.
Feel free to eat a lot. Feel free to eat a lot.
Are you alright?
Yes, I'm fine.
Ma'am, give me some more kimchi please. A bit more please.
- Please enjoy your meal. - Yes.
M-Myung Sik?
- Sorry! Sorry! - We're sorry.
How could...
It was definitely Myung Sik.
Did I make a mistake?
What should I do?
Kids...
Dad is really sorry.
Since you're part of the Shine Star family now
there are a few tips I want to give you as your producer.
Therefore wake up and listen carefully.
Although musicians like me don't need it
for newbies like you to survive in this huge entertainment world
connections and your attitude are really important...
It's hard to survive in this world with your cold personality.
Go away.
There are a few rules that newbie singers need to follow.
I'll teach them to you today.
What are the rules?
- First rule of newbie singers. - First rule.
- You have to greet people well. - Greet people well.
Start running when five meters away, and bow down 90 degrees.
Hello, I'm Choi Choon Hee.
What the heck?
Come on. They're being like that because you voice was weak.
I think it's because of you.
- Second rule. - Second.
Always have a sweet smile in front of your seniors.
Sweet smile.
Don't ever stop smiling.
Hello, I'm Choi Choon Hee. Please take care of me.
Hello, I'm Choi Choon Hee. Please take care of me. Please... take care of me.
Oh geez, that is so embarrassing.
Smile.
- That's right. - That's right.
- Fighting. - Fighting.
- Rule number three. - Number three.
If your seniors give you something
even if it's something they already chewed
you cannot refuse to take it.
Eat.
Listen to me carefully.
There's going to be a party later on. If your
seniors give you something, you cannot decline it!
No matter what your seniors give you, you just take it and eat it.
Eat!
Gosh these people. Seriously.
Yes, President Ho.
Right now?
Okay. Understood.
Joon Hyun.
You're going to come to the party later today, right?
I have something urgent to do so I'll be late.
It's the celebration party for your first album.
I feel sorry.
It's okay. Hurry up and come back, Joon Hyun.
Where did he go? Why isn't he coming?
Seriously.
Hey newbie.
Hello. Hello. I'm Choi Choon Hee.
Dear senior.
- Sit down. - Yes.
Let's eat together. This tastes good.
Ramen is...
Rule number three.
If your seniors give you something
even if it's something they already chewed
you cannot refuse to take it.
something I really like, Senior.
- Eat. - I'll start eating.
Ma'am, can I get another order of ramen please?
You're going to Soo In's first album celebration party, right?
Since you're a newbie, you have to finish all the drinks people give you
How can you go with an empty stomach?
- Eat up. - Yes. I'll enjoy the food.
Oh my, our newbie eats a lot.
- Oh my. Oh my. - I'll pick it up for you, Senior.
- I can pick it up. - No, it's fine.
Oh my god.
Oh my! Is it not hot?
Oh my god. Sorry.
- It's okay. - Is it not hot?
It's fine. It's not like you did it on purpose.
What do you mean "it's fine"?
You can't go to the party like this.
I'll lend you my training clothes.
- Change and then go. - It's okay.
- Excuse me, but I'm really... - No, it's nothing.
Did you take off your clothes?
Yes.
Thank you.
You really thought I would just give this to you?
Senior. Senior.
Excuse me, Senior!
Senior.
Please open the door.
You're just joking with me, right?
Please open the door, Senior.
Senior.
You're going to the party?
I'm just barely making it, but you?
Senior, please open the door. Excuse me.
Please save me!
Is nobody there?
Miss Na Pil Nyeo! Senior!
What is she doing not picking up her phone?
Go to the party first.
I have something urgent to do.
Senior Na Pil Nyeo!
Why did you do this?
Just wait until I get out. Seriously.
Miss Choi Choon Hee.
Why are you locked here?
Did you do something that made people hate you?
Wait for a moment.
I have to wait here?
President, why are you here?
Excuse me, Miss Park Soo In.
This is your clothes, right?
Yes.
It's okay if I borrow it for a moment, right?
Lovely concept clothes look good on you.
Huh?
Give me the clothes.
Oh, your clothes.
Hold back, hold back.
Looks like you're going now.
Let's go together.
- Cheers, everyone. - Cheers!
Hey, newbie. Drink this.
Yes, Senior.
Don't tell me you're still angry.
That was a test for newbies.
We do that to all the newbies.
- We all got locked in before, right? - That's right.
Soo In, what class are you?
I'm the 27th class.
Who's the same class as you?
In Joo, Si Won and me. The three of us.
What class are you?
I'm not sure. What class am I?
You got in through connections so nobody's in your class.
People from your class are the best.
It's a bit sad that nobody's in your class.
Why isn't there anyone in her class?
Miss Choi Choon Hee is in the same class as me.
The class of people who got in through connections.
Come on. Cheers for the connections class.
Cheers.
Three more times and Choi Choon Hee doesn't owe you anything anymore.
Understood. How many times do you have to say it?
Does Choi Choon Hee know though that
you're working here to pay off her debt?
Don't tell her useless things.
I'll be leaving.
Is she doing well?
I'm worried since I left her alone.
Hey, people are here.
Are you not coming quickly?
Going!
Hey, newbie.
Here, drink one more cup.
I drank a lot already.
Your senior gave you that drink.
It's full of my affection for you
so drink up.
Drink.
Drink all of it.
Drink.
Wait a moment.
I'll be Miss Choi Choon Hee's black knight.
- Y-You can't. That's... - What do you mean I can't?
Did you perhaps add diarrhea medicine to this drink?
Why would we add diarrhea medicine to drinks?
President you're so good at jokes.
I'm not joking.
Bottoms up. Bottoms up. Bottoms up.
Bottoms up. Let the drink pour in.
All of it. All of it.
Excuse me, waiter.
Don't come here.
- Please don't. - Waiter!
Waiter.
Waiter!
This diarrhea medicine is really effective.
Choi Choon Hee.
I'm destroyed.
Damn seriously.
What should I do?
Excuse me, person next to me.
Can you give me some toilet paper please?
Our nation always unites in times of danger.
Hey, next door!
I really need it!
Although I don't forget good deeds people
did for me, I don't forget bad ones either.
Got it?
Hey! Hey!
That's right.
We are one people after all.
One people! Thank you.
This bastard...
I told you I don't forget good deeds people do for me, right?
This is fate too so let's see each other's faces.
We're all girls anyway.
Do you not take my words seriously?
S-Sister, I'm not done with my business yet.
Good for you "sister". Get out your pervert!
Are you not going to come out?
Aren't you the spicy rice cake thief?
Hey, you bastard!
You bastard back then. What are you doing here?
What are you doing in the women's restroom?
You followed me all the way here, right?
I'll be on my way.
Hey you bastard!
Hey, Soo In. You saw what happened just now, right?
Choi Choon Hee is no joke.
How can the President interfere like that? Gosh, she's annoying.
He probably likes her because she's talented.
What talent can a trot singer have?
Also, you saw the clothes she changed into, right?
You're the star of the party. Why is she dressed prettier than you?
She's ridiculous.
Pil Nyeo, those are actually my clothes.
What?
I was going to wear it for the new album concert.
Why did that girl come with that then?
The President took it saying it was urgent.
I was a bit surprised too when Miss Choi Choon Hee came wearing it.
There's probably a reason.
Your problem is you're too nice.
Just wait, Soo In.
I'll take care of it for you.
- Choi Choon Hee. - Yes, Senior.
You're really something.
- I heard that this is Soo In's. - What?
I'm asking if you stole Soo In's clothes to wear.
I really didn't know this was Senior Park Soo In's clothes.
I just took it since the President gave it...
What?
The President gave these clothes to you?
Why? Are you the President's lover?
You're not good enough at singing so you'll
seduce guys to make it through. Is that it?
You know better than me that it's not like that.
This happened because you locked me in the recording room.
You rude thing.
Are you alright?
What are you? Seriously.
- Hey everyone! - Oh my! Pil Nyeo!
I really don't know what to say.
She just hits people.
She pushed me hard like this.
Pushing your seniors around? That's mutiny.
Hey Choi Choon Hee, how can a newbie like you
treat your seniors like this? Oh my god.
Choi Choon Hee.
Why are you like this?
Mr. Jang Joon Hyun, you came at the right time.
I heard you're her manager.
I just said a few words, and she pushed me.
Teacher her properly. Got it?
Are you crazy?
I taught you everything personally. How can you push your senior?
Did you see it? Did you see me push her?
Judging by your personality, I know it without even seeing it.
Didn't you just get mad and push her because she said something?
No matter how mad you are, how can you push your senior?
You shouldn't even step on your senior's shadows.
Did you not hear what I told you before?
- Are you not my manager? - I told you I'm your producer.
It doesn't matter if it's producer or manager.
Didn't you tell me to believe you? Didn't
you say you would make me a singer?
What does that have to do with this?
So you don't believe me?
And you'll disappear without a word on occasions like this?
I texted you that something urgent came up so go first.
What urgent thing?
- What is it? - That's...
I can't tell you right now, but anyway something urgent came up and...
You just leave me and go. You don't know anything.
Also why is it my fault that I'm wearing Senior Park Soo In's clothes?
You don't know whose fault it is at all.
You're wearing Soo In's clothes?
The clothes you're wearing right now is Soo In's?
Let's stop talking.
Hey, Choi Choon Hee!
- Stop drinking. - Let go.
I was a marathon athlete.
Therefore once I start, I have to end it.
Choi Choon Hee.
- Me? - Keep this in mind.
I hate people like you who get in through connections.
I hate them. I said I hate them.
Shouldn't you have a lot to say to me on days like this?
How about this? Should we talk without honorifics?
President, how can we do that without drinking more?
I didn't drink, but you're all drunk.
Tell me what you want to say with the help of alcohol.
- This is your chance. - Hey!
Na Pil Nyeo!
- You bastard! - Shut up!
And Director Wang!
You bastard, why did you only say that to me?
He got in through connections as well.
You can't make a sound in front of him. Right?
And you. Fellow connections class members?
Stop joking. Are we the same?
You got in through golden connections.
- Are you going to say that again? - Yes. Understood.
With all that...
Great. You did awesome.
Can you not walk properly?
I can...
You're having fun.
Here's your car keys.
- Take care when going home. - Yes.
- By the way, Miss Park Soo In. - Yes.
I called a driver and he'll be here soon.
Yes, President.
- Miss Choi Choon Hee. - Yes, President.
You're really drunk.
I'll drive you home.
- It's fine, President. - No. You'll get into trouble. Get in.
- I'm fine. - Get in.
Thank you.
Are you alright?
What's wrong?
Are you going to throw up?
Please don't. Please don't throw up. There's no where to stop nearby either.
I'm so...
Don't talk in the car. I know you're sorry.
Don't nod either! I understand!
Please just stay as you are.
Don't do it please.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry.
I just keep thinking about it over and over again.
Anyway, I'm really sorry.
I should say sorry
for being the President's son.
- Go in. - Yes.
Oh, and thank you.
For what?
For driving me here
and for getting me out of the recording room today.
- Thank you a lot. - Right.
I keep helping you when I meet you.
I'm not the type of person that helps people.
Well, good night then.
Are you alright?
You want to follow me in again, right?
You belong there. Sleep there.
It happened such a long time ago. Why...
It's something irrelevant.
Yang Joo Hee, don't even think about it.
Why are you home so late?
I told you there was a party today.
Oh right. Did a lot of people come?
Yes. The President came too.
I thought he wasn't interested in the company.
By the way, how's the new president?
I don't get him at all.
He's a bit special.
Excuse me. I dry cleaned this. I really didn't know it was yours.
Sorry about yesterday.
- It's okay. - Still...
I'm really sorry. Work hard then.
Shine Star has never had a trainee like this before.
She didn't pass the audition. She assaulted her senior.
And she even talked to the President impolitely.
People keep doubting the fairness of Choi Choon Hee's contract.
So we just need to prove it's fair, right?
We just need to prove why Shine Star needs her.
- Well... - Let's do so then.
- How? - Like this.
[Traditional market performance supporting report]
As you all know, Shine Star supports performances
held at traditional markets every year.
I'm thinking of sending Choi Choon Hee this time.
Huh? Me?
You just need 500 recommendation balls by the end of today.
You just need to put it in this box.
Can you do that?
She can get 1000 balls not to mention 500.
I'm the king of busking.
Great. Let's gather 1000 balls instead then.
Director Wang.
- 1000 balls is a bit... - That's right. Let's go with 1000.
He seems really confident.
1000 balls.
I'll just assume you agree.
I hope you succeed. Keep up the good work then.
Wait a moment.
We need a person to make sure that every person only puts in one ball.
- Are there no volunteers? - I'll do it.
Great.
In this beat, there's love and farewells.
And there's tears as well.
What is this bastard doing right now?
I thought you were confident.
This is not a place that people gather.
Would this work?
That's not bad. Let's try to liven this up. Great.
I look like a crying fool.
I hate the blinding sun. I hate it.
I really hate you.
Senior, move that please.
And misters, take care of all of this.
Hurry up, please.
Will this work?
If you said you'll help just help. Why do you keep talking?
- Will this really work? - Hurry up!
Hey, you use this.
You need to look friendly. Put this on.
Even if you do that...
Wear it.
Is it okay if you don't untangle this?
It's okay! It's fine!
- Is it okay? - Yes!
Ma'am, it's really tiring since it's so hot, right?
I'm more tired.
If you pick a song, I'll sing it for you.
I'm super busy. What time do I have for songs?
- Still... - Are you a singer?
This shop is lucky today.
Do you know Tae Jin Ah's "Not anyone can love"?
Fine. Sing "Not anyone can love" then.
I'll sing it for you and if you like it
please move a ball from here to here.
Of course! If you sing well, I'll move 10 balls for you.
Can you do it?
Do you think anyone can love? Who said love is easy?
You think anyone can love? You have to at least look into each other's eyes.
You're already crying.
Clap! Here are the balls.
Great! Awesome!
I met you for the first time in my life.
Great! Great!
And we were the only ones left.
And love became cherished memories.
If it's really love, then turn and don't cry.
Tomorrow, a new wind will blow again.
- The balls! - Wait a moment.
Don't step on it. Don't step.
Go that way.
- Find them! -They're going that way.
Wait a moment. Cover them.
Wait there.
What should we do?
Mister, step lightly.
Wait a moment. Over there!
Catch that. Get that one.
The balls are all rolling.
What are you doing? I asked what you are doing.
B-Balls.
Excuse me! Excuse me!
What was your dream, Miss Park Soo In?
Well, I...
She's never thought of anything besides singing.
She's wanted to be a singer since she was a child.
Just as expected. You seemed to be like that.
We'll move on to the next question.
You're good at expressing emotions even though you're young.
Are you dating someone perhaps?
Not right now.
Please edit this part out.
What do you mean "not right now"? That means you used to date someone.
Just say "no".
No, I'm not.
Shall we ask a question about your daily life then?
What do you do in your free time?
I don't really have a lot of free time lately.
Then what would you like to do if you had free time?
You know that thing you do with me.
Isn't this Park Soo In's interview not Director Yang Joo Hee's?
Sorry?
I'm curious about what Park Soo In thinks.
That's right. We want to hear your honest words.
Miss Park Soo In?
If I have time, the thing I want to do most is sleep.
I just want to get some good sleep.
What do you mean you want to sleep?
You can say so many things like volunteering or reading with me.
Why can't you think more?
People would be so disappointed with you.
People all know that though.
They know that volunteering and reading are just statements.
Sorry?
"I just want to get some good sleep." I loved that.
It feels human. Thank you for your work.
I'll be leaving.
Mister. Mister!
What are you, you bastard?
What are you doing, you bastard?
So basically I'm not a thief.
- I just need this ball... - Oh dear.
- Where are you touching? - You're Jang Joon Hyun!
Grandma, this person is Jang Joon Hyun.
- Jang Joon Hyun? - You know me!
Right? You clever kid.
Who's Jang Joon Hyun?
He's famous. He's the singer Jang Joon Hyun.
Really? Oh my, is that so?
If you're really a singer, sing something.
- What? - Hurry up and sing!
I'll have to hear it to know if you're a thief or a singer.
Grandma, I told you I'm not a thief.
Fine. I'll sing. Then you have to give me that ball.
You're the only one. Compared to everyone else in the world...
Gosh. Not that.
- Huh? - Pick a trot song.
Huh? Trot?
Grandma, even if I die and come back to life I won't be able to sing trot.
Why do you have to pick trot?
I'm an artist! I'm Korea's best singer.
Oh my. If you don't sing, I won't give you this ball.
Grandma!
Fine! I'll sing it!
I'm doing this because you really look like my grandma who passed away.
This is the first and last trot song I'll sing.
Therefore if I sing it, you have to give me this ball.
Did you live in the forests all your life?
Hurry up and sing!
I came with a dream. That's how I came.
Forget all the sorrow and the pain.
There's nothing you can't do if you try.
I'll be back the day the sun rises. Together!
I'll be back the day the sun rises. Last time!
I'll be back the day the sun rises.
987, 988, 989.
There's no more. That's it.
The total is 989. You're lacking a bit.
The results are out.
Choi Choon Hee's traditional market mission is...
Here! Here!
I'm here to give these to this lady.
She's here!
- Thank you. - How did you...
We came all the way from the other market to say thanks.
The economy isn't good and life is hard, but
thanks to this lady we feel alive again.
What else is there to life besides smiling and working hard?
The customers were happy, and sales went up.
Please accept our thanks.
- Thank you. - And this.
We found these.
- What is this? - Hopefully it helps you.
Thank you! Here.
1, 2,...
8, 9, 10.
10.
Sorry but you still need one more.
Wait a moment!
Here! There's one more ball.
There! Put it in! Fast!
It's a bit early to be happy.
How do you know if people put these balls in because they liked it?
What do you mean? Of course this...
Of course she failed. Mr. Jang Joon Hyun...
Of course she succeeded!
- What are you doing? - 1000 balls! Success!
Thank you!
Miss Choi Choon Hee, mission accomplished.
Thank you President!
Thank you! Thank you!
