This lineup is just incredible.
- They're all so amazing. - I agree.
If Sun Hee and Ye Jin win today, they'll win 30,000 dollars.
You know what? If you win 5 times, you get 50,000 dollars.
Who is going to be Seung Hun's fantastic duo?
Her style is unique and she is able to express her emotions.
She's very good at getting the lyrics across.
I believe she can sing even more powerfully.
(Achasan's Ice Cream Girl is selected as Ailee's fantastic duo.)
But she looked at me confidently and I felt like I could trust her.
Are you ready?
(They're ready for today.)
I didn't know you'd use the fan.
I thought it was one person.
She doesn't seem like an amateur.
I felt like I was watching a final performance at an awards show.
I appreciate that her song is so touching.
I think this is what real music is.
I was surprised that you suddenly burst into tears.
She can convey the lyrics very well.
Her voice gave the song a very unique colour.
She's really good.
Lady Ye Jin, you should prepare yourself.
It's amazing that a young woman like her...
is able to improve day by day.
(Will they have the third successive win or will there be a new winner?)
Let's find Jang Hye Jin's fantastic duo!
(Let's find Jang Hye Jin's fantastic duo!)
It's finally time to find her duo.
- The time has finally come. - Her preliminary song is...
"Beautiful Days" from the sixth album she produced herself.
- That's right. - All right.
Why did you choose this song?
So Ji Sub starred in the music video, and I'm a big fan of his.
- That's so cool. - What brings you here?
(It's So Ji Sub from 15 years ago.)
- I'm interested in ships. - That's why I casted him.
- You asked him to be in your video. - I didn't have a special reason.
- I just liked him. - It was just a personal preference.
Yes, it was just my personal preference.
I see.
- You graduated from UC Berkeley. - That's right.
Currently you're a professor at...
- Hanyang Women's University. - Yes.
You're an elite in the field of music.
- I heard you used to be an athlete. - Yes.
- I used to major in... - Didn't you major in music?
Originally, my major was rhythmic gymnastics.
But I was injured during practice.
While I was taking a break from school,
I saw an advertisement recruiting choir members,
and I applied for it.
- You got accepted? - That's right.
Uhm Jung Hwa was in the choir as well.
- She came in later than me. - I see.
- She joined the choir after I quit. - Is that right?
So when you got accepted to the choir, you quit sports...
- and decided to become a singer. - Yes, that's right.
We will now watch Hye Jin's fantastic duo clip.
I heard that talented people from all around Korea applied.
Let's meet the contestants for Hye Jin's fantastic duo.
Hello, I'm Jang Hye Jin.
When were your most beautiful days?
Which place do you think is beautiful?
(Beautiful place)
- Hello. - Hello.
An amusement park.
We're at Gwangjin Bridge of Han River.
(Gwangjin Bridge will be our outdoor stage.)
Kids, say hello.
- Hello. - Hi.
Which person?
- She's my mum. - She's my daughter.
(It's a mum and a daughter.)
This is our baby.
(A soon-to-be Mum and Dad)
Honey.
(Manager)
My manager, Jae Hwan...
- Oh, my. - Jae Hwan...
- has applied to Fantastic Duo. - It's Lee Honey.
I'm excited and nervous for him.
- Good luck, Jae Hwan. - Good luck.
Please take good care of him.
Please sing from the bottom of your heart.
(When were your beautiful days?)
Nam Mi.
It's me Jae Sun. You must be surprised to see me.
(She's a long forgotten friend.)
Do you remember City Ladies?
- Oh, my. - Oh, my.
- Do you remember? - My goodness.
Hye Jin's real name must be Lee Nam Mi.
I used to be in the choir with her.
(I used to be in the choir with her.)
(As a teacher and singer, each reminisce the beautiful days.)
(Do You Remember Me?)
(They sing together for the first time in 30 years.)
(Honey's Manager Hwani)
(Romantic Teacher)
(Doesn't our teacher sing well?)
(Practical Music of Hanyang Women's University)
They're her pupils.
My goodness.
They're my students.
(She looks at them lovingly.)
Oh my goodness.
(My Mum Is Like My Sister)
(Rainbow Ji Sook)
That's Ji Sook.
(Seo In Young)
(The time that they spent with Hye Jin was a beautiful moment.)
(Dongdaemun Yoon Sang)
(Me?)
I thought that was me.
(Dongdaemun Yoon Sang)
(SG Wannabe On a Bridge)
(With my voice and hands,)
(I will look for you everyday.)
I think you all have been deeply in love before.
(Give me a big kiss.)
Who were you thinking of when singing?
My old lover.
I see.
Who were you thinking of when singing?
- My family that I love dearly. - I see.
- Our professor. - I see.
(We thought of our professor.)
Then let's bring to life the emotions from then.
Please sing from the bottom of your heart.
(The contestants each show photos.)
(Heartbreaker Officer Min)
(He thinks of the woman that makes him smile even during a tough day.)
(Darling, we're always thinking of you.)
(Romantic Husband)
(Haeundae Bob Cut)
(They've been friends for 20 years and share beautiful memories.)
Oh, my.
(Soulful American)
(SG Wannabe On a Bridge)
(Honey's Manager Hwani)
(They are beautiful because they have each other to rely on.)
(Hye Jin's First Student)
I remember her.
(I remember her.)
(We reminisce the beautiful memories by singing this song.)
Oh, my. You sang so well.
I love you.
I think that my most beautiful day is today.
(I think that my most beautiful day is today.)
(There's another mother and daughter at Fantastic Duo today.)
Hi, Mum.
It's the first time that I'm...
(There's another mother and daughter at Fantastic Duo today.)
Hi, Mum.
(Hye Jin's Treasure)
It's the first time that I'm...
singing your song properly.
Here it goes.
(It's the first time she's singing her mum's song sincerely.)
(I was so immature.)
(Mum, you stood by me.)
Mum, I'll always love you.
I'll always be your loving daughter.
I'll be a good daughter.
I love you.
(To Mum, who has shown me many beautiful days)
Thanks. I hope you liked it.
(I hope you enjoyed singing with me.)
(I love you.)
All right.
"Beautiful Days".
- It fits the title. - What's wrong with this programme?
(What's wrong with this programme?)
She didn't know that her daughter had applied.
- She didn't. - You shouldn't do this.
I apologise.
Hyun Moo, we're a mess here.
- Hye Jin, you didn't know? - We're all in tears.
Why are you crying, Apink?
I can understand the others, but I've never seen Jang Hoon cry.
Jang Hoon crying will be all over the internet.
- It was sad. - Did you cry?
I think...
- I've gotten too old. - I see.
- It's... - What does that make me?
Oh, sorry. You easily get teary when you get old.
- I was off guard. - Yes, it wasn't expected.
(The moment he spotted a familiar face...)
This is touching.
This is making me cry.
Me, too.
(After that, he couldn't stop crying.)
If 30 or even 100 people applied to be Hye Jin's fantastic duo,
I'm pretty sure that each of those contestants...
- all have their own stories. - You're right.
(Each contestant has their own beautiful story.)
Why did you burst into tears, Hye Jin?
She burst into tears when she saw her daughter.
- Her daughter? - I was already emotional...
when I saw my pupils.
(Her pupils made her tears well up.)
I was surprised. I was very proud of them and deeply moved.
- I tried to keep my tears back. - I see.
But when I saw my daughter,
(She couldn't fight back the tears when she saw her daughter.)
I couldn't hold back my tears.
I'm quite worried that you'll cry even more when I tell you this.
We took that clip in the utmost secrecy.
- I see. - Actually,
she is here with us today.
(She is here with us today.)
Where are you?
- Ms Kang? - This show is very strange.
Is that right?
Where are you?
(The person that made the whole studio cry is Kang Eun Bi.)
She's sitting over there.
- Did you know she was here? - Oh, my.
Mum.
I think it's been about 10 years since I last saw Eun Bi.
- He recognised her right away. - Yes.
- She looks a lot like her father. - I see.
She has grown into a pretty lady.
- What's that supposed to mean? - Yes.
You just said she looks like her dad.
I meant, when she was little,
she used to be...
How should I put this? She was very dynamic.
That still sounds bad.
(We'll have a talk after this.)
To be honest,
I have very sad memories...
about my daughter.
That's why...
I rarely talk about my daughter on any programmes.
50 days after she was born,
she had to stay in the intensive care unit for 20 days.
She had to fight for her life.
That's why...
(It was painful for her to watch as her daughter fought for her life.)
She's so precious...
- to me. - I see.
Despite what she went through,
she became a fencer. She's an athlete.
I guess she takes after you.
- Right? - I think so.
It's a shame she didn't inherit my singing skills.
(She probably inherited her father's singing skills.)
This is what Fantastic Duo should be like.
It didn't seem like her contestants...
just tried to use this opportunity to become singers.
They were ordinary people with their own stories.
- That's true. - They sang just the way they are.
I hope to see more contestants like them on this programme.
It had such a warm feeling.
Right after Hye Jin debuted,
she sang in the chorus for Sobangcha for three years.
- That's right. - That's when she met her husband,
who was Sobangcha's manager back then.
- How do you know so much? - He knows everything.
- It's getting a bit creepy now. - So...
I'm guessing she's leaning towards Lee Honey's manager.
You think so?
I'm actually very close to Honey's manager.
- He's Honey's manager. - Yes.
I'm good friends with Honey, surprisingly.
- I was very shocked. - Why?
I had no idea he was such an amazing singer.
He really is an amazing singer.
- He is. - Yes.
It was incredible. He has another merit.
- What's that? - He's a very nice guy.
(He's a nice guy.)
Nice people deserve good things.
Shouldn't we try to make this world such a place?
Are you supporting him?
- In addition to his singing skills, - He already has his favourite.
- Does he have a good personality? - He's hardworking.
Nice people should become successful.
(He wants Hwani to be Hye Jin's fantastic duo.)
Don't you think we should see Dongdaemun Yoon Sang here?
Yoon Sang seemed surprised.
I'm really curious about him.
He deserves to be here and stand next to Yoon Sang.
I'd love to be on the screen with him.
There's one team I'm very curious about.
It's Haeundae Bob Cut. They appeared very briefly.
- They were great singers. - They were outstanding.
- I was very impressed. - They seem very funny, too.
- Busan has many great singers. - My goodness.
How do you know that? You're from Ghana.
(He knows so much.)
Please stand in the middle.
(Among the many applicants, three will be chosen.)
Let's meet the first candidate for Hye Jin's fantastic duo.
Here they come.
- Hye Jin's First Student. - Who do you think...
will be chosen?
- Haeundae Bob Cut! - Hwani.
Romantic Teacher!
- Honey's Manager Hwani! - Hwani!
Let's meet the first candidate for Hye Jin's fantastic duo.
Will it be SG Wannabe On a Bridge?
It's Honey's Manager Hwani!
Please welcome, Lee Jae Hwan.
Jang Hoon has been cheering for him.
He's Honey's manager.
He's here to make his dream come true.
He's an amazing singer with a great voice.
- It's Honey's Manager Hwani. - He does look like a nice guy.
- He looks like a nice guy. - I'm glad he's here.
Let's meet the second candidate.
Romantic Teacher!
Let's meet the second candidate for Hye Jin's fantastic duo.
(Oh, my.)
Haeundae Bob Cut!
- Haeundae Bob Cut! - Kang Min Sung and Seo Jang Ho.
They're ready to take over the stage today.
(Will we get to see them today?)
Although they look like comedians from "People Looking for Laughter",
they're actually incredible singers.
- Please welcome, Haeundae Bob Cut! - Look at their socks.
It's Kang Min Sung and Seo Jang Ho.
(They're wearing shocking outfits.)
They look very interesting.
Let's see who the last candidate for Hye Jin's fantastic duo is.
Hye Jin's First Student!
Let's meet the last candidate.
- Who is it? - First Student!
I knew it.
It's Hye Jin's First Student, Yang Eun Kyung.
She's an amazing singer with experience.
Please welcome, Hye Jin's First Student, Yang Eun Kyung.
Hye Jin seems thrilled to see her.
(Her singing skills were taught by Hye Jin.)
Please come to the centre of the stage.
(It's the three contestants who all have their own stories.)
It must have been a long time. Please come to the centre.
- The other two teams seem lonely. - Goodness.
- Already... - Look at them.
Excuse me.
(Is it my turn?)
Excuse me.
- What just happened? - You're not her student.
- I'm giving you a warning. - He's so cute.
Hye Jin's First Student, when did you last see Hye Jin?
- I was at her concert once. - That's right.
- At her concert? - We met very briefly.
- It was very brief. - I wasn't expecting to this.
- Oh, my. - Was Hye Jin a scary teacher?
Back then, I was struggling with high notes.
Hye Jin tried everything she could.
In the end, she pulled my hair up.
- She did? - Yes.
That helped me reach my high notes. So I started doing that...
even when I was practising alone. That's why I lost a lot of hair.
- I lost a lot of hair. - Did you pull out too much hair?
(I'm sorry.)
I was a very unexperienced teacher back then.
I was trying every possible method.
I see. Let's meet Jae Hwan.
- Jang Hoon says he's very nice. - He looks really nice.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello.
I've been Lee Honey's manager for four years.
My name is Lee Jae Hwan.
(He bows again.)
Shouldn't you be working right now?
Honey's favourite song is...
- "Beautiful Days" by Jang Hye Jin. - Is that right?
She even sang this song in a drama once.
That's right. She did.
- Which drama was it? - "Modern Farmer".
You were always there for me
(As Honey sings this song often,)
(her manager came to love the song, too.)
I came to love this song because of Honey.
She instilled a love for this song into you.
We should put ourselves into Hwani's shoes.
He's always been watching Honey perform on stage.
As a great singer himself, he must have wanted to be on stage, too.
- I see. - We should try to understand him.
- We see that he's a great guy. - Today,
we should make him the star.
(Let's look forward to his performance.)
I'm curious to know what Haeundae Bob Cut do for a living.
We've been going to karaoke together for 20 years.
It's been 20 years.
That's not what I asked. I asked you what you do for a living.
- You can't be friends for a living. - Look at their outfits.
We'll let you know when we become the final candidate.
(Now, we're even more curious.)
You'll let us know only if you...
- become the final candidate? - That's right.
If you fail, you have to just go home.
Then it'll remain a secret forever.
It'll remain a secret forever?
They know how to keep us interested.
- Are you sure you're not comedians? - We're not comedians.
- You aren't? - No.
Do you always dress yourselves that way when you go to karaokes?
- It's different every time. - We change it every time.
I knew it.
(This is how we enjoy karaoke.)
On a more serious note, we've been friends for 20 years.
- I moved to Seoul first. - Okay.
And then I persuaded him to move here, too.
We started working as day labourers.
We worked as porters as well.
- You carried things? - We did odd jobs.
- We worked as waiters as well. - Yes, we did.
I saw both of you in the clip.
Then, will it be a trio instead of a duo? How does this work?
- It doesn't matter. - They're a team.
- Do you have an objection? - Yes. Isn't it unfair?
- You think it's unfair. - Myung Soo once performed...
with five people, and he lost.
(Myung Soo once performed with five people, and he lost.)
- Really? - Yes.
- It was four people. - It didn't go very well.
It was the New Year's Special. Be quiet.
- Whenever we're at a karaoke, - Yes.
we begin with the same song.
- Which song is it? - It's "The Man, The Woman".
- By Hye Jin and Vibe? - Yes.
If you have time today,
- Yes. - could you sing that song with us?
Why do you ask her if she has time?
That's funny.
- I was surprised to hear that. - Was he hitting on her?
Isn't that a pick-up line?
Let's check them out while they sing "The Man, The Woman".
(They will be singing "The Man, The Woman".)
Contestants,
please move upstage.
(It's the first stage where they get to show off their skills.)
(They need to put aside the beautiful days for a while.)
(They need to focus now.)
(They look serious.)
Whose voice will catch...
Hye Jin's attention?
Please cue the music for First Impression Medley.
("The Man, The Woman" by Jang Hye Jin and the three contestants)
(The three teams all want a little change in their lives.)
(They're going to show a surprising performance.)
Oh, my.
(Oh my goodness!)
I didn't expect this.
(Their comic attitude is gone. It's like Vibe is here.)
- He sounds just like Vibe. - He's good.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, my.
(Honey's Manager Hwani adds to the medley.)
(The three men sing beautifully.)
(Hye Jin's First Student feels even more pressure.)
(You can do this!)
(Her emotional voice...)
(proves that she was Hye Jin's student.)
(Her singing style is similar to Hye Jin's.)
(They are immersed into the song...)
(both when singing...)
(and listening.)
(They even harmonise like Vibe.)
(Laughing)
(She misses the beat because she was trying not to laugh.)
(The better they sing,)
(the more she wants to laugh.)
(Oh, baby)
(She tries to keep a straight face.)
(She's fighting back her laughter.)
(She tries to compose herself.)
(She goes through her first crisis.)
I forgot the lyrics.
(She finally bursts into laughter.)
(The performance was funny yet touching.)
("The Man, The Woman" by Hye Jin's fantastic duo contestants)
(Their singing was really great.)
All right.
- I was surprised. - This is not fair.
- What isn't fair? - Just looking at them...
- makes us laugh. - I agree.
It must've been difficult for Hye Jin.
It was unfair. Can I sing once more without looking at them?
Well...
Does the man on the right from Haeundae Bob Cut have teeth?
- I can't see his teeth. - Come on.
- I can't see his teeth at all. - What are you talking about?
- Look at him. - He has teeth.
(From far away, it could seem that way.)
He really looks like a comedian.
- Oh my goodness. - His ad lib was really good.
- I loved it. - Do you think you can sing again?
Yes, sure.
Let's go without the background music.
- Where will you start from? - Let's start from "We were".
(Vibe is back.)
(Should I look at them?)
(I shouldn't have looked.)
(I'd rather close my eyes.)
(She looks back again.)
(She looks like a woman who wants to leave.)
(And they look like they just ran out of the shower.)
(Don't leave me.)
(Their emotions are on point.)
(Although they don't look at each other,)
(they still create an amazing harmony.)
All right.
(It was a great performance in many ways.)
She's much more stable when she doesn't look at them.
Although they look funny, they really are talented.
You're right. I was really surprised.
When they first started to sing, I thought they were Vibe.
(Their talent...)
(was hidden behind their robes.)
- We go to karaokes often. - I see.
"The Man, The Woman" is the song we sing the most.
- The two of you? - Yes.
I sing the part of the woman and he sings the male part.
- So you sing the female part. - Yes.
What's the relationship between you two?
- We are friends. - We've been friends for 20 years.
- You're just friends. - Yes.
Let's begin...
- the Random Competition. - Okay.
(We've heard their voices.)
(The real competition begins now.)
Honey's Manager Hwani.
He's always been watching Honey perform on stage.
As a great singer himself, he must have wanted to be on stage, too.
You shouldn't laugh when you look at them.
- You shouldn't. - I...
Haeundae Bob Cut.
(She tries to keep her face straight,)
(but she fails.)
Excuse me.
We worked as day labourers among other odd jobs.
What do you do for a living?
We'll let you know when we become the final candidate.
- All right, next. - Yes.
Hye Jin's First Student.
I couldn't do anything because I couldn't help but cry...
whenever I thought about her.
I'll be judging you today...
on how well your style of singing matches mine...
and how well we communicate when we sing.
- Okay. - I see.
Let's begin the Random Competition.
Cue the music, please.
("Beautiful Days" by Jang Hye Jin and the three contestants)
(The contestants have to show their skills while their light is on.)
(Hye Jin sings the first verse.)
(The candidates respond...)
(by singing in their own style.)
(Today, she isn't just a housewife.)
(She is a singer that was trained by Hye Jin.)
(After singing in karaokes for 20 years,)
(they can finally sing on stage together.)
(He's always watched others perform on stage,)
(but today, he can finally sing on stage.)
(Today is a beautiful day...)
(for the four of them.)
Oh, my.
(The stories of the candidates are relayed through this song.)
Yes.
That was an incredible performance.
(The stories of the three teams made a soulful performance.)
- This is too difficult. - Is it?
While they were singing,
I saw Seung Hun and Sun Hee talk to each other.
What were you talking about?
- Their appearance makes us laugh. - Right.
But once they start telling their story,
I think the audience would be attracted to them.
We haven't heard their story yet and once we hear it,
I don't think it would funny.
- You're right. - That's what we were talking about.
- They have very classy voices. - They do.
Most importantly,
- one exhales and the other inhales. - Really?
(Kang Min Sung inhales,)
(while Seo Jang Ho exhales.)
(That's what makes their duet fantastic.)
I can imagine how often you must have gone to karaokes.
You two really complement each other.
Could you say that they harmonise better than Vibe?
I can't say much about that unless I see Vibe in a gown like that.
I will judge after comparing them.
It's a very unfair competition for Hwani.
- Why? - Her student is here.
- And there's two of them. - I see.
The two of them can harmonise.
It's a given that it'll sound better than one person singing a solo.
I disagree. I think they are both good singers.
They wouldn't be able to harmonise like that if one of them was bad.
They are both very talented.
Also, their amusing character...
- is one of their strengths. - I agree.
The reason Lady Ye Jin and Sun Hee...
keep getting better when they sing together...
is because they spend that much time together.
They have their own story now.
I could feel that Hye Jin and her student share their own story.
(When listening to her student sing,)
(it looked like she had many things to say.)
We'll now select the first team to get eliminated.
Okay.
Who will be eliminated first from Hye Jin's fantastic duo?
Honey's Manager Hwani.
Haeundae Bob Cut.
- Hye Jin's First Student. - Good luck, Hwani.
Please press the button to eliminate the first candidate.
Good luck, Hwani.
Though she took her time, she didn't hesitate to press the button.
- Who will be eliminated first? - Good luck, Hwani.
- Hwani. - Please turn off...
(Please, don't let it be me.)
- the light. - Good luck, Hwani.
(Please turn off the light to eliminate the first candidate.)
(I made it.)
She's ruthless.
- She's ruthless. - Good luck, Hwani.
(Hye Jin's First Student is eliminated first.)
She's ruthless.
- She sang well. - She did.
They...
must have been strictly assessed.
This really makes me feel sad.
(This really makes me feel sad.)
Thank you for today.
I'm happy that I had the chance to sing with you.
- Okay. - You did well.
(I'm happy that I had the chance to sing with you.)
It made me happy as well.
Who will Hye Jin's fantastic duo be?
There are three men left.
(Honey's Manager Hwani vs Haeundae Bob Cut)
I'm...
How can you smile at such a tense moment?
(Does looking at them still make you laugh?)
Who will be eliminated next?
- Haeundae Bob Cut. - Hwani.
- Honey's Manager Hwani. - Good luck, Hwani.
He's here today with the full support...
- of Honey. - Good luck, Hwani.
Who will be eliminated next?
(Performing with Hye Jin means a lot to both teams.)
Please press the button.
Hwani.
She pressed the button.
Please turn off the light of the second team to be eliminated.
(Who has Hye Jin chosen?)
Please turn off the light.
Good luck, Hwani.
- Go, Hwani. - Oh, my.
(Haeundae Bob Cut become Hye Jin's fantastic duo.)
- Haeundae Bob Cut has been chosen. - Hwani.
(Congratulations!)
Jang Hoon.
Goodness. I thought he was crying but he's laughing.
Thank you very much.
(Thank you very much.)
Excuse me.
- Usually... - Was he laughing?
- people cry. - I thought he was crying.
He's smiling brightly.
I'm sure that these two have another side to them.
I wanted to get to know that side of them.
I'm sure this isn't all.
That was my reason. It wasn't because you were less talented.
I was just more curious about these two.
I always used to be back stage.
Thanks to you, I was able to stand on stage.
This moment will remain as a good memory. Thank you.
Hwani, you're the best.
- That's kind of him. - You're the best.
I felt bad because I was the reason he came to Seoul.
But I would only take him to karaokes.
It's his first time on such a big stage.
I really wanted us to make it. I desperately wanted this.
Jang Ho doesn't look tense at all.
I have mixed feelings.
What kind of feelings?
Actually,
my mother thinks that I have a job in Seoul.
(My mother thinks that I have a job in Seoul.)
I've been lying to her for about 5 to 6 years saying I was doing well.
I'm truly proud to be on television, on such a prime time.
I think it's a chance for me to show my mum what I'm doing.
I'm really happy and proud of myself.
Would you like to say a few words to your mother?
Mum. Dad.
I'll win and bring home 10,000 dollars.
(I'll bring home 10,000 dollars.)
Thank you.
Wait, since I need to give him half, I'll bring home 5,000 dollars.
(I need to split the prize money with him.)
(Mum, are you watching?)
(I'm singing with everything I have.)
(The battle between the three duos begins now.)
(They're the strongest duos yet.)
(It's a competition against those who want to be...)
(the new winner and those who want to keep their title.)
(Fantastic Duo, Singers in My Hands)
Fantastic Duo, Singers in My Hands.
We only have the final stage left.
Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl.
Ailee and Achasan's Ice Cream Girl.
Hye Jin and Haeundae Bob Cut.
For your information, Haeundae Bob Cut are washing their hair.
We will invite them on stage in a while.
(They don't want Hye Jin to abandon them.)
The three teams will compete.
And one team will win.
The song they perform together will be officially released.
It will have the copyright protected under Korean copyright law.
Once the album is released, the copyright is valid...
for the next 70 years.
SBS will make sure of that.
The order of the final round will be chosen by Sun Hee...
who is going for her third win.
(Which team will Sun Hee pick to go first?)
During the break, I asked Ailee...
what she thought about going first.
She said that she needs to go first before her voice gets hoarse.
- That's what she told me. - I see.
- But... - Then how hoarse would my voice be?
(Then how hoarse would my voice be?)
Don't act weak. Goodness.
Who do you choose to perform first?
(Who will perform first?)
(Which duo will perform their teary farewell song first?)
Ailee.
(Ailee and Achasan's Ice Cream Girl will go first.)
- Ailee. - Okay.
- Good luck! - Please, come on out.
(It's Ailee's duo, Achasan's Ice Cream Girl.)
What can you show us?
I'll give you the chills.
(Her singing skills give you the chills as promised.)
(The competition was fiercer than ever.)
(Dancing Busan Bank Teller had amazing singing skills.)
(Bukhansan Eel Girl had a powerful voice.)
(The candidate Ailee chose was...)
(Achasan's Ice Cream Girl.)
You'll be performing first.
Sun Hee asked me,
"Will it be okay for you to perform first?"
I couldn't say no.
- That's what happened. - So I said, "Of course."
Is that what you were thinking?
No, that's not it.
- Well... - I didn't know that.
She's good at pressuring you with a smile.
(I'll look forward to your performance, Ailee.)
Now that I've made it this far,
I'll do my best to win.
I'll do my best, too.
(We can do it!)
Out of all the contestants we've had on Fantastic Duo,
she might be...
(What is he going to say?)
the most competent contestant ever.
- Do you think so? - You're right.
Ailee made a very clever choice.
We practised a bit together earlier, and she catches on very fast.
You need to be clever to be a good singer.
- Make sure you win. - I love her.
(Will they threaten Sun Hee's position?)
Achasan's Ice Cream Girl!
- We're in our 20s! - You can do it!
- Thank you. - All right.
Let's do this!
We don't have much time.
We have to hurry so that we can practise more.
The reason I live is you
(Ailee is tutoring Min Jung.)
I'll support you. You sing the high notes.
What about here?
Let's sing together here.
- Together? - Yes.
(Meticulous)
(They're getting along very well,)
(and they sound great together.)
(They're a perfect duo.)
We can do it.
I'll make sure...
you win the prize money.
(I'll make sure you win.)
I think we'll do a great job.
- It'll be great. - I think so, too.
We can do it.
(It seems like their performance will turn out amazing.)
Testing.
Please lower the volume for my earpiece a bit.
(It's time.)
- Are you ready? - Yes, I am.
Am I ready?
(A nervous moment)
(Everyone is cheering for them.)
("Heaven" by Ailee and Achasan's Ice Cream Girl)
(They communicate with their eyes and voice.)
(They share the emotions.)
(She plays around with...)
(emotions, melodies and rhythms.)
Thank you.
(It was an explosive performance.)
Is there more?
Did you think it was over?
What's happening?
(This isn't the end?)
(It's a surprising ending that has a twist.)
(They show us explosive ad libs...)
(that only this duo is capable of.)
(It was an amazing performance full of surprises.)
They were great.
Goodness.
(Everyone in the audience sprang to their feet.)
- You're the best. - Someone threw their hat.
(You did a great job.)
- Ailee! - Ailee!
- Is it over? - It was amazing.
(The audience pumped up while the other duos are nervous.)
There was a lot of wind involved.
Please step forward.
Their legs are failing them.
I thought their faces were going to explode.
- I know. - Seriously.
We might have someone in their 20s win for the first time.
- Yes, I agree. - Right?
They were amazing.
It was too great for the first performance.
The other teams must be so nervous now.
I didn't know you'd use the fan.
You seem hurt.
- Once when I used the fan, - Go on.
but then a piece of paper flew right into my mouth.
I couldn't sing.
- You have a trauma. - Yes.
I was hoping it would happen to Ailee, too.
- It was an amazing performance. - I agree.
- I was shocked. - Me, too.
- I loved it. - This song is titled, "Heaven",
- but they seemed to be on fire. - On fire?
They seemed to be singing out of anger.
(The stage is on fire.)
(They pour out their emotions.)
(Be grateful that I'm with you.)
(It sounds like a warning to a man who's about to leave.)
(The powerful female duo owned the stage.)
Sun Hee will compete against them.
It was threatening.
Excuse me.
- I'd never heard her say that. - I think it's time.
I think it's time to step down.
- Really? - Yes.
I didn't know she'd give it her all.
I thought she'd be more considerate to me.
I'm sorry.
Let's go home.
Don't be like that.
Engineer Music Girl. You look tense. Are you nervous?
- Yes, I'm nervous. - Are you nervous?
- Yes. - He will make you feel better.
What makes you think I'm not nervous?
- She says she's nervous. - I see.
Out of 300 points, how many points...
will Ailee and Achasan's Ice Cream Girl get?
We'll reveal the score now.
(What is their score?)
Out of 300 points, how many do you think they got?
The more points they receive, the more chance they have to win.
They have to have a good start...
to be safe in the running.
What is the score for Ailee and Achasan's Ice Cream Girl?
It's...
(It can't get any more passionate than this.)
(The powerful vocal duo dominate the stage.)
Their score is...
(What is their score?)
200? It's 262 points.
(Ailee and her fantastic duo receive 262 points.)
- They received 262 points. - Good job!
It's a high score.
Thank you.
Ailee, you got 262 points.
Now, you have to pick the next team to perform on stage.
Please choose between Hye Jin and Seung Hun?
Who would you benefit from going after you?
There is a grave... Did I say grave?
There is a performance I wanted to see.
- Which one will go to their grave? - That's not it.
That's what you said.
My tongue got twisted.
Who will go to their grave today?
They just got back from washing their hair.
Come on up.
(Haeundae Bob Cut appear with a new look.)
Give them a round of applause.
(Second up is Hye Jin and Haeundae Bob Cut.)
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- You did really well. - Thank you .
- Look at them. - Oh, my.
- They look really good now. - Yes.
You look like a mixed group now.
- I was surprised. - You look great.
Please think about beautiful people, places and moments as you sing.
Please sing from the bottom of your heart.
- Why are they singing that song? - Did it have to be this song?
(Although they're very talented,)
(it was hard to notice because of their outfits.)
(But they made it.)
(With their beautiful voices and harmony,)
(they were picked to be Hye Jin's fantastic duo.)
They don't look as funny now, right?
- They don't look funny at all. - They don't.
They don't look as funny as they did before.
(All she did was look at him.)
Hye Jin needs to overcome this.
(She needs to overcome this.)
I heard you two almost didn't make it today.
We've been to the karaoke a few times,
but we never practised this much.
- I got stomach cramps. - Stomach cramps?
- It's due to stress and fatigue. - Really?
That hurts a lot.
I took painkillers and that's how I'm here today.
Did they rush you to the emergency?
No, it's more like I rushed myself to the emergency room by cab.
I was going to make it seem extreme.
What song will you be singing today?
We'll be singing "One Late Night in 1994".
They say it's one of the most emotional songs out there.
- Didn't you cry while singing this? - Yes.
When I was recording this song, my daughter was really sick.
It was a hard time because she was fighting for her life.
I sang this song the winter of that year.
When I was recording the song,
my daughter was very young.
Only one of the parents was allowed in the intensive care unit.
I went home to wash up and to pick some stuff up.
When I walked into my daughter's room,
- I saw that her room was empty. - I see.
It really broke my heart. I was broken into pieces.
(Hye Jin takes these indescribable emotions...)
(and expresses it in this song.)
- More? - Okay. We're ready.
Here we go.
Don't be nervous.
Make a small opening with your lips and breathe out like this.
I think it's a chance for me to show my mum what I'm doing.
I really wanted us to make it. I desperately wanted this.
(Now, a song that reflects their life will start.)
("One Late Night in 1994" by Jang Hye Jin and Haeundae Bob Cut)
(No matter who sings it...)
(and no matter who is listening to it,)
(the song encompasses the story of all of our lives.)
"One Late Night in 1994".
(Without a hint of laughter,)
(their performance is full of sorrow.)
(The song leaves many speechless.)
Hye Jin is tearing up again.
Please give them another round of applause.
They did so well.
You sang so well.
You would only cry if you shared each other's feeling.
I could feel their emotions while singing next to them.
Did you have a rough time?
(Did you have struggles?)
Yes.
- Yes, we had our downs. - I see.
- You went through a lot, right? - Yes, we did.
I had a rough time after moving to Seoul.
That was hard.
I have a fear about my future. Since I'm not young,
I'm worried about what I should be doing.
- However, I'm in good spirits. - Yes.
(I'm more confident after today's performance.)
It was so fantastic.
(It's like a dream.)
When they first came out with their funny outfits,
- I didn't want to send them home. - I see.
I wanted to reveal how amazing they actually are on stage.
I wanted to show people that they aren't just a couple of funny guys.
You gave such a great performance,
so I've reached my goal.
Thank you.
Yoon Jeong, you seemed to get emotional during their performance.
They were like clowns.
They looked like clowns who would draw fake smiles on their faces.
The ones that paint their face white and juggle balls.
- That's right. - That's how I thought of them.
I think that's why I was more emotional.
I was thankful for the sudden twist.
(They looked like they were here just to give laughter.)
(On stage, these two were like professional singers.)
I was so thankful that they showed an unexpected stage.
Yes, thank you.
- I really enjoyed it. - Okay.
Today,
one performance was full of power and energy,
and this stage was very emotional.
Seung Hun, what do you plan on doing?
What will you do?
I'll try to mix both.
(He'll try to make his performance both powerful and emotional.)
I wonder if our audience were moved as well.
We'll reveal Hye Jin and Haeundae Bob Cut's...
score.
If they receive one more point...
than 262, they'll still be in the running.
What score will they receive?
(They have to get over 262 points.)
Since it was a very emotional song, we can expect a high score.
However, Ailee's team also performed very well.
Hye Jin is unable to look.
(Will they be able to stay in the competition?)
"One Late Night in 1994".
We'll now reveal the score for Hye Jin and Haeundae Bob Cut.
(Ailee and Achasan's Ice Cream Girl's performance was explosive.)
(By firing up the audience, they received 262 points.)
(Haeundae Bob Cut immersed themselves in the song.)
(With Hye Jin, the trio gave a a perfect emotional performance.)
(And the result is...)
Let's see their score.
(They receive 260 points.)
- They lack 2 points. - 260 points.
It was off by 2 votes.
That's too bad.
You lost by two points.
(They lost by two points.)
I got a lot more votes than I anticipated.
- Is that right? - Yes.
- They lacked 2 points. - It's just off by 2 points.
I'm so happy.
I thought I would be upset, but I'm happy.
- Are you happy? - Yes.
I see.
With 260 points, Hye Jin and Haeundae Bob Cut lost.
(The trio sets a good example...)
(of what it should be like on Fantastic Duo.)
It's time to find our winner.
(It's the one we've all been waiting for.)
It's Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl.
(Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl)
Come on up.
(Everyone is waiting for their performance.)
I'll start.
- Seok In Hae. - I hope my partner can make me cry.
There must be someone out there that can, right?
(I want a fantastic duo that can make me cry.)
(Yes, I'm right here.)
(With a unique voice, she touches everyone's hearts.)
(Now, it's Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl's turn.)
When will I...
ever get a chance to sing with a singer like him on a stage?
I'll give my best.
- I will. - Okay.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
You seem really down.
I'll give my best.
(I'll give my all.)
Why don't you do a cheer in your happy voice?
- Let's go. - Great.
(Her personality is as unique as her voice.)
She's so cute.
(What kind of stage will this duo show us?)
Is this better or...
(30 minutes before the finals)
Is this more affectionate?
(Seung Hun is teaching her his techniques.)
If you're really hungry you say, "Mum, I'm hungry."
- You need more emotions. - Okay.
You have to put more emotions into it.
You can fall asleep
Breathe while you sing, okay?
- I love you - Good.
(Thanks to the best ballad teacher in Korea,)
(Engineer Music Girl is able to improve her techniques.)
(She has a unique and clear voice.)
That sounds so much better.
(Her voice will blend with his warm and affectionate voice.)
- Can you hear me? - Yes, I can.
Okay.
Just sing comfortably while thinking of the lyrics.
I wrote the lyrics and I think it's pretty good.
(My lyrics are really good.)
(He boasts about himself while helping her loosen up.)
(The stage you've all been waiting for starts now.)
("Somewhere Only a Little Above Me"...)
(by Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl)
(Seung Hun had to part with two people in 1995.)
(His grandmother...)
(as well as his good friend Sung Jae of Deux passed away.)
(He hopes this song will reach them.)
(They made it sound like their own story.)
(Every line of the lyrics sounded convincing.)
All right.
I can't wait to find out what you thought about their harmony.
Complimenting Seung Hun...
- would be pointless. - Right.
It's amazing how Engineer Music Girl wasn't overwhelmed by...
Seung Hun's aura. They both created a perfect harmony.
- I'm impressed. - Thank you.
She has a very unusual voice.
Her voice gave the song a very unique colour.
(Her voice made Seung Hun's voice sound different.)
(The difference in their voices and their unique harmony...)
(made their voices sound even better.)
(Even without emphasising the volume and high notes,)
(they succeeded to give a very touching performance.)
The renowned ballad singers...
who were on Fantastic Duo didn't win.
Today, it seems like the king of ballad...
will be able to set the record straight.
He might be able to get revenge.
As a ballad singer myself, I appreciate your great performance.
All right.
(He swears his loyalty to the king of ballad.)
Ailee, as the lead, what did you think?
As soon as they started singing,
we knew that we wouldn't survive.
(Her voice catches everyone's ears.)
(It even makes her rivals lose their will to fight.)
(It was a nice experience.)
Engineer Music Girl is very good at conveying the lyrics.
She's very good at getting the lyrics across.
And I found her low notes very attractive.
As expected,
- Seung Hun never disappoints me. - I see.
(One moment, they sing calmly about love.)
(The next, they explode their emotions about losing someone.)
I'd love to see Lady Ye Jin and Engineer Music Girl...
compete.
It'll be a big match.
It'll become a really big match.
Between the legendary singers and between the girls who look alike.
Everyone must be waiting.
Will Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl beat Ailee?
Let's find out their score.
Ailee's score was 262. What score will they receive?
You have to win today...
to compete against Sun Hee.
Will they be able to top 262 points?
Will their score be higher than that?
What will their score be?
(What score does Engineer Music Girl expect to receive?)
What's your guess?
- 263 points. - 263 points!
Let's find out their score.
(Did they beat Ailee's duo?)
(Explosive)
(Powerful)
(Ailee and Achasan's Ice Cream Girl)
(Full of emotions)
(Beautiful voices)
(Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl)
(Ailee and Ice Cream Girl vs Seung Hun and Engineer Girl)
Let's find out their score.
They received 271 points!
(Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl received 271 points.)
You're today's winner.
(They won by 9 points.)
They got nine more points than Ailee.
You're today's winner.
(They received a high score of 271 points.)
How do you feel?
Well...
(Overwhelmed)
You didn't prepare anything? Did you think you'd lose?
- Yes. - Goodness.
Just to be on this stage,
I was honoured.
Thank you for enjoying our song.
- Thank you. - All right.
- Are you talking to me? - To everyone.
- Is that right? - Yes.
(You did a great job.)
(Ailee is cheering her partner up.)
(Ailee and Achasan's Ice Cream Girl did an amazing job.)
Thank you.
Lady Ye Jin had the same face when she won.
You look very shy and nervous.
- They look like sisters. - They do.
It'll be a match between sisters.
Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin, please come onto the stage.
(They're aiming to win for the third time.)
(The first fantastic duo)
(How will they surprise us today?)
(Shaking)
(Before singing,)
(she's always nervous.)
Are you nervous?
Are you very nervous?
(Sun Hee always calmed her down.)
It's all right. Forget everything and just focus on singing, okay?
(Thanks to Sun Hee, she always gave amazing performances.)
(In the end,)
(she won...)
(two times in a row.)
(Now, they're out to win for the third time.)
(Relax.)
(They're becoming closer and closer.)
What was that?
(You're making us jealous.)
- All right. - The thing is,
she was so nervous.
I could feel her hands shaking.
So I held her hand.
When I did that, she would hold my hand firmly.
She looks nervous again. I wanted to calm her down.
- Is it scary? - Yes.
- Are you scared? - A lot.
Today's theme is Tearful Goodbye Songs.
Our song is called, "A Parting".
I'm afraid I'll have to say goodbye today.
- That's why I was scared. - I see.
I love singing with Sun Hee,
so I don't want to lose. I'll do my best.
Of course.
(Sun Hee gave her courage.)
You two look like sisters.
All right. They'll sing "A Parting" by Patti Kim.
Cue the music, please.
(Their performance will begin now.)
(They know each other very well by now.)
(It's their third performance.)
("A Parting" by Lee Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin)
(Their song pierces everyone's hearts.)
(It was an emotional performance of "A Parting".)
(Standing ovation)
Yes.
"A Parting" by Sun Hee and Ye Jin.
We heard it.
- Sun Hee. - Yes.
- That felt like a shower of rain. - My goodness.
Will you keep doing this to us?
Ye Jin sang so well.
- Today... - Thank you.
- Ye Jin... - Excuse me.
- surprised me. - Ye Jin was good.
- Roughly... - How can you sing so well?
- That's not it. - Yes.
- She sings so well. - How can a kid sing so well?
I was blown away.
- Sun Hee sings better but still. - I was shocked.
She really must have not wanted to part with you.
She gave it her heart and soul.
- I'm a bit ashamed in front of her. - Why?
She sang so well.
- Did she sing better than you? - Yes, she sang way better than me.
(She sang way better than me.)
(Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin...)
(were able to interchange feelings.)
(Their deep emotions created a beautiful harmony.)
(Trying to figure out who sang better is meaningless.)
(They both put on a perfect performance.)
- Hyun Moo. - Yes.
Shouldn't we do...
a doping test on Lady Ye Jin?
Seung Hun exclaimed...
how soulful she was. Right?
- I was surprised. - Me, too.
It's not easy to sing next to Sun Hee.
- You're right. - However, she stood next to her...
and was able to stand her ground. I was surprised when she belted out.
I was shocked by how a young girl could sing so well.
- She's 18 years old. - Yes.
(A heavy resonance shown by an 18-year-old)
(Lady Ye Jin handled...)
(the old sentiments of the song.)
She's incredible.
(A young girl in high school...)
(shows wonders with her emotions.)
It's truly amazing. I can now understand...
why she keeps winning.
Is that your desire to succeed to that throne?
Can't you see that I'm pushing the throne?
(The king of ballad feels the weight of the throne.)
- Were you pushing it? - Yes.
You did that well.
- This is a very old song. - It is.
- Have you heard this song before? - Have you heard this song?
- No. - That's what I thought.
- You haven't? - I never heard this song before.
The fact that an 18-year-old girl can sing with such emotions...
- amazed me. - I see.
She broke up with her boyfriend.
- With her boyfriend? - Yes, she broke up.
- Even so, she's still so young. - I see.
(Being heartbroken helps you become a better singer.)
(As she is experienced, Sun Hee's voice was appealing.)
(However, Lady Ye Jin didn't suffer by comparison.)
(Lady Ye Jin's first love...)
(gave her the ability to deliver emotions well.)
(The performance showed how the first fantastic duo...)
(bears the weight of the crown.)
They need to receive over 271 points to win.
Will they be able to beat Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl.
Who will become the winner?
We will now reveal the score.
Let's see Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin's score.
If they score...
above 271 points,
Sun Hee's team will have three consecutive wins.
Engineer Music Girl watches the screen worriedly.
Seung Hun, Lady Ye Jin and Sun Hee...
can't seem to look at the screen.
Will they win for the third time?
Or will a new winner be born?
What is the score for Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin?
(The score for Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin will be revealed.)
(They went beyond high notes and singing powerfully.)
(Seung Hun and Engineer Music Girl put on a flawless performance.)
(They hope to beat Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin...)
(and become the next fantastic duo.)
(For the first time, Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin...)
(sang a song that wasn't Sun Hee's.)
(Will they be able to keep their title...)
(and win for the third time in a row?)
(And the result is...)
(Cheering?)
(Lamenting?)
They received a score of 287 points. Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin win.
(Are we allowed to do this?)
(Seung Hun and his duo congratulate the winners.)
The third fantastic duo is...
Sun Hee and Lady Ye Jin. Congratulations!
(It's their third consecutive win.)
(Among all the great performances, they were chosen as the winners.)
She wins 30,000 dollars.
Thanks to Ye Jin,
I am here.
(She carried my weight today.)
Really.
(Lady Ye Jin continues to improve day by day.)
- Ye Jin did so well. - I see.
It worries me that Ye Jin is making steady progress.
Do you feel pressured because she keeps improving?
- Aim for a fifth win. - You should.
- Aim for a fifth win. - It's only two more wins.
- Yes. - How do you feel?
- Good. - Oh, my.
(Is she showing her ambition to win 5 times?)
We did good, too.
- You did. - I wanted to test myself today.
I wanted to see if my voice could harmonise with hers.
A score of 271 is more than good enough.
I am a bit disappointed.
But they showed such a magnificent performance.
- So I think the result was obvious. - Okay.
Ye Jin, has your goal changed?
Don't you want to aim for five consecutive wins?
Please be honest.
I might as well since I'm already here.
You might as well?
- I'd like to aim for five wins. - Is that right?
Even the way she talks resembles that of Sun Hee.
(A karaoke in Fantastic Duo)
(Kim Soo Hee, who sang the famous "Train Headed South", is here.)
- What do you want to hear? - Can I sing my own song?
(Whee Sung shows up at Fantastic Duo.)
(He won't let go of the microphone.)
I want to sing, too.
(Give me a chance to sing.)
(The amazing Sun Hee even raps.)
(One more person joins the karaoke at Fantastic Duo.)
(It's the rapper, Tiger JK.)
(You'll also hear the songs you often hear at karaokes.)
(Even Vibe joins us on Fantastic Duo.)
I'm not sure if I can sing now.
(Tune in next week.)
