All you need is a smart phone to become a singer.
Fantastic Duo!
Finally, we have the second winner of Fantastic Duo.
It's Kim Tae Woo and Wolmi-do Little Giant.
Hello, nice to see you again.
Hello.
- They're so cute. - They are.
When Sun Hee was sitting there,
the chair looked a bit big.
It seems the chair found its owner.
I don't want to get off this chair.
This week, we have a strong line-up.
The first singer reminds us of blue jeans and a guitar.
She's the most curious person in Korea.
She'll always ask for your name.
Let's meet this person.
Thank you.
She's incredible.
I heard it's your first time on a music entertainment programme.
I enjoy watching them but never dared to compete in one.
- This is too harsh. - Why?
I've only been here for a week.
- The first competitor... - Hee Eun is a strong competitor.
I heard that Tae Woo lost a lot of weight,
so I'm relieved.
Did you know that Pavarotti sang off-pitch after losing weight?
You're correct. Usually a full voice comes from a sturdy body.
- Yes. - That's how it works.
Resonance comes from a heavier weight.
Let's meet the next singer.
If Hee Eun was a sensation in the 70s and 80s,
this person took over the K-pop world in the 90s.
Make some noise!
- Kim Gun Mo. - Kim Gun Mo.
Why do you keep handing the microphone over?
You didn't sing half the song.
Why did you stop singing?
- Excuse me, at least he sang half. - Why are you conserving your voice?
If you don't have the energy, come out next time.
- Wait, - Actually...
This person...
- This is... - Are you from a signboard company?
- Are you angry? - Are you from a signboard company?
I've seen a person get an electric shock wearing clothes like that.
- It's fine if he avoids water. - Will it be all right?
It's been a long time. How have you been?
I'm working out.
- There's a thing called kickboard. - He's a fan of kickboard.
I lost about 3kg when I rode a kickboard for a week.
It seems like you've become more tan.
I think it adds to your charm.
When I see short and dark-skinned people,
I feel compassionate.
Tae Woo is in trouble today.
- Why? - The line-up is...
He has to compete with Hee Eun and Gun Mo.
This is too harsh.
Couldn't you have let me enjoy my place for at least a week?
Tae Woo, your focus shouldn't just be on winning.
You need to have fun and leave.
- That way new people can come. - He needs to leave?
Do you understand?
- Tae Woo, do you understand? - Yes.
He keeps on holding him in check.
We have Hee Eun and Gun Mo with us. This is an incredible line-up.
We will see who comes out on top.
This might not be easy for Tae Woo.
If Cool reminded us of the summer in the past,
this group reminds us of it now.
It is the first time on Fantastic Duo...
to have a girl group join us.
Let's meet them.
Could you please introduce yourselves?
- We are the best Sistar. - We are the best Sistar.
- Hello, we're Sistar. - Hello, we're Sistar.
You've come to Fantastic Duo as soon as you've released your new album.
We are the youngest.
We cannot help but be nervous to sing in front of...
such experienced singers.
Still your goal must be to win.
You must be here to take Tae Woo's place, right?
We want to win.
But it would have been even better if we met Sun Hee.
- I always wanted to meet her. - I see.
But we didn't have the chance to meet her.
So I was looking forward to meeting her.
What does that make Tae Woo?
- I don't mean that. - He's must be uncomfortable.
- He's sitting right there. - I don't think she meant that.
- We've seen him so often. - Are you sick of him?
- We've seen him too often. - It's true.
What about me?
- Pardon? - We've never met before.
- We haven't met. - That's right.
- Isn't it refreshing? - Yes, it is.
- Very? - Are you satisfied?
- What about me? - Are you satisfied?
What about me?
How do you feel meeting Hee Eun?
It's a surprise.
What is your name?
Do I have to sit here?
Just sit still.
I'm supposed to defend my place but they're such incredible singers.
Usually they're all below me.
This is Hee Eun's hit song.
This is no joke.
Don't they seem like a girl group?
The three are all perfect.
I do feel the pressure.
It's their first time on Fantastic Duo.
This makes no sense.
They chose the perfect song for today.
You look like you're about to cry.
It is incredible today.
- Let's find Gun Mo's... - Fantastic duo!
His popular songs are countless.
"Sleepless Rainy Night", "First Impression", "Excuse",
"Alone in Love", "Beautiful Goodbye", "Wrongful Encounter",
"Foolish", "Love is Gone",
"A Bird Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest", "I'm Sorry", "Jjanga",
"The Woman in the Rain" and "Moon of Seoul".
I missed out a few.
It's amazing. It's not easy to know all the songs...
- but I know all of them. - We all know all his hit songs.
Back in the days, there were vendors that played music on the streets.
The songs that these vendors played...
- became popular. - You're right.
No matter where you went,
you would hear Gun Mo's song being played.
I remember hearing Gun Mo's songs the whole day.
At the time, Korea's population was about forty million.
"Wrongful Encounter" by Gun Mo sold about 2.8 million copies,
which means about 1 in 12 people bought the album.
You chose "Wrongful Encounter" as your song.
Is there a particular reason you chose this song?
The melody is tricky.
You need to know how to control your breathing.
You also need to know how to dance.
In addition, you need to be able to reach the high notes.
You need to know how to rap as well.
- Regarding blood pressure... - We need to check that too.
There's a lot to think about.
Don't tell me that you're not going to sing.
You got me wrong.
This song has maintained 1st place for 8 weeks.
"Wrongful Encounter" by Kim Gun Mo.
Hello, I'm Gun Mo.
Hello.
You must be delighted to hear the prelude.
"Wrongful Encounter".
Let's go.
Step one.
Warm up your vocals.
- Kim Gun Mo - Kim Gun Mo.
Step two.
Put on something from the 90s.
Here we go.
Make some noise!
Start.
That's nice.
She's good.
That's great!
Have you ever experienced a wrongful encounter?
I heard you got a new girlfriend a week after we broke up.
I'm 50 years old. I need a break.
I'm 70 and 1 years old.
I'm 58 years old. What did you just say?
Why are you avoiding me?
Don't avoid me.
Cry!
That's hilarious.
Cry!
I can't forget.
That's it. That's nice.
Now, dance!
- Dance. - Shake it.
Thank you for your participation.
- Thank you. I love you. - I'm Kim Gun Mo.
I'll see you at the studio!
To the end! Nice!
- That was hilarious. - It was so funny.
Gun Mo, you look very satisfied.
There were many beautiful female contestants.
- Five out of the six are girls. - Exactly.
In addition, they're all beautiful.
I was actually very worried.
I thought all of the contestants would be male.
You're not interested in candidate number one, are you?
No, I'm not.
- Please exclude number one. - Exclude?
What did you think of the contestants?
I'm thankful that so many people sang with me.
Isn't it amazing that such young people know your song?
- There was even an old lady. - That lady.
Which of the contestants would you like to see here?
- Well... - Do you have anyone in mind?
I do. I like candidate number six.
- Excuse me. - Wait.
His eyes are fixed on candidate number six.
- He can't take his eyes off her. - No, no.
Yongdap Queen Bee was dancing the whole time...
while singing the harmony.
- But she sang perfectly in tune. - That's right.
Although she was dancing, she was never out of breath.
- I bet she's an amazing singer. - I see.
I agree with him.
If candidate number six sings with Gun Mo,
her energy will rub off on him.
But personally, I'd love to see candidate number two here.
This is not a blind date.
What's up with you guys?
Masan Sulli must be the most confident one.
She even exposed her shoulders.
- She was confident the whole time. - Wait.
You only seem to care about their looks.
- That's not true. - Here's what I thought.
Men and women seem to have...
completely different standards.
I was amazed at how different we think.
I know which 3 I like. They're number 2, 4 and 6.
Why is that?
Number two has a very stable voice.
- Number four is funny. - They're funny.
It was a mother and her two daughters.
Number six is not bad.
What do you mean?
She's not bad?
- That's not very logical. - Men's...
- Number six is not bad? - Men's...
I have different standards than men, but she's not bad.
The three candidates for Kim Gun Mo's fantastic duo...
will be revealed now.
Masan Sulli!
- Sadang Internet Cafe Lady! - Let's see the first candidate.
- Who would you like it to be? - Yongdap Queen Bee!
- Number six! - Yongdap Queen Bee?
Masan Sulli?
- Sadang Internet Cafe Lady? - Sadang Interent Cafe Lady!
Let's see the first candidate for Gun Mo's fantastic duo.
It's Masan Sulli!
She has a face that looks like Sulli's...
and a deep voice that suits rhythm and blues.
It's Masan Sulli, Kim Hye In.
Gun Mo's eyes are burning with passion.
Let's meet the second candidate.
- Sadang Internet Cafe Lady! - Sadang Internet Cafe Lady?
- Singing Hamster! - Yongdap Queen Bee?
Singing Hamster!
Let's meet the second candidate!
It's Yongdap Queen Bee, Kwon Do Young.
She fascinates even girls.
She's beautiful, and she's a great singer and dancer.
- Yongdap Queen Bee, Kwon Do Young. - She's intense.
She could be one of the members of Sistar.
- Gun Mo looks happy. - She looks amazing.
Let's meet the last candidate!
It's Sadang Internet Cafe Lady, Lee Soo Jeong.
Her explosive high notes and ad libs were very impressive.
Gun Mo is lucky today.
We have so many beautiful contestants today.
- Gun Mo. - Yes.
Stand up straight.
The three candidates for Gun Mo's fantastic duo.
Please come to the centre of the stage.
Don't they look like a girl group?
- Oh my gosh. - They do.
These three ladies are cute, sexy...
- and cheerful. - Yes, they are.
- What I want to say is... - Yes.
That...
He sounds so dumb right now.
- He can't speak. - He wasn't this bad at speaking.
- No one from Sistar is smiling. - They aren't.
- They're not happy. - They're glaring at him.
- They're just very tired. - What's wrong?
They weren't glaring at him.
As soon as Queen Bee came out on stage,
she glared at the members of Sistar.
Her eyes look a bit scary like Kim Wan Sun's.
- She glared at them. - She wasn't impressed by them.
- She gave them the look. - I see.
Please introduce yourself, Masan Sulli.
Hello. I'm Kim Hye In and I'm from Masan.
I'm 23 years old. I look like Sulli at a glance.
Welcome.
Since I was young,
I've listened to...
- Gun Mo's songs a lot. - You did?
- Yes, I have. - She's coy.
She called him by his name right away.
Since I live in Masan,
I imagined Seoul to be a great place.
I used to enjoy singing "Moon of Seoul".
I sang that song at a local singing contest...
- and won an award. - How well did you do?
- I came in first. - You won? Wow.
- Did you sing "Moon of Seoul"? - Yes.
So what did you get? Did you get a reward?
Yes, I got a jade mat.
- You got a jade mat. - Yes, a jade mat.
- An electric jade mat. - A jade mat.
- Let's hear the song. - Of course, we're going to hear it.
All right.
Oh, yes!
Thank you very much.
- She deserved the jade mat. - That was different.
- She looks so cute. - She sings so differently.
- Yes, I agree. - She spoke in a cute way.
- Did you see how she moved her arm? - Doesn't she have Hyo Lyn's voice?
- She sounds like Hyo Lyn. - Yes, she does.
Her appearance doesn't match her voice.
Don't I look like I have a husky voice?
- Yes, you can. - I know. I was so surprised.
When she started sing the first line of the song,
- I was so shocked. - Her eyes looked different.
I'm not surprised she won the jade mat.
- How did you like the song? - Well...
Her voice was quite different than it was...
when she sang "Wrongful Encounter".
I feel so...
Goodness.
- Were you that bad at talking? - Pardon?
- Why can't you talk? - He became a fool.
- It's because he's so happy. - That's right.
He's just very satisfied with how things turned out.
Please introduce yourself, Yongdap Queen Bee.
Hello. I'm not a professional dancer.
I'm majoring in street dance, with an emphasis in hip hop.
I'm Yongdap Queen Bee, Kwon Do Young.
Welcome.
Since we've heard her sing, let's see her dance.
- She should dance. - Yes, let me show you my dance.
Will you dance for us?
She's majoring in hip hop.
Girl's hip hop.
- Gun Mo. - Yes.
Why can't you look her in the face?
Well...
He can't even talk.
When I was little, my dad would take me to karaoke...
and he would sing "Wrongful Encounter" a lot.
That's how I know this song by heart.
I wanted to take this chance to sing and dance freestyle to the song.
May I ask how old your dad is?
He was born in 1963.
He's only four years older than me.
Hello. I love playing games.
I'm Sadang Internet Cafe Lady, Lee Soo Jeong and I'm 21 years old.
She's so pretty.
I really love going to internet cafés.
- I'd play games for 12 hours a day. - Really?
That's why my parents would slap me on the back.
They sang and danced for Gun Mo. Have you prepared anything?
- Of course, I do. - Of course, she does.
She sings well.
Gun Mo, congratulations.
Sadang Internet Cafe Lady has a great voice.
- She's great. - She's good.
- Gun Mo's songs are not easy. - I agree.
But she sang it so well.
- She was really good. - She was.
- Tae Woo looks... - He looks like he's about to cry.
He doesn't look so happy.
They are young and pretty. They dance well and...
even sing well.
We didn't have such people in our generation.
So every vocalist of my time...
lacks something.
- Aren't you the vocalist of god? - He was talking about himself.
We have to carry on the competition.
Gun Mo's three candidates. Please move upstage for the competition.
Gun Mo,
please call out their names one by one.
- Please arrange the wires. - Fix the wires on his back.
He might get shocked.
- Goodness. - It may cause a short circuit.
You might get shocked now.
He's a human Christmas tree.
Gun Mo, call out their nicknames...
and share a moment with each contestant.
Martian Sulli.
- Is she Martian Sulli? - She's not a Martian.
- She's not Martian Sulli. - I meant, Masan.
- Let me do it again. - Yes.
Sulli.
- He can't see. - Take off your sunglasses.
- Again? - Yes, do it once again.
Masan Sulli!
Yong...
Yongdap Queen Bee.
Yongdap Queen Bee!
It's not a staring contest. You're supposed to share a moment together.
What are you doing? Share a moment together.
- Stare into her eyes. - Yes.
Sadang Internet Cafe Lady!
I have no idea what he's trying to say.
This next song is a bit slow.
I will see how well you can...
sing and dance to it.
You'll see how well they do...
- with a slow song. - Yes, that's right.
We will now begin the Random Competition.
Gun Mo's lights are on.
Candidates, you can sing when your light turns on.
Cue the music.
- They're good. - They really are.
You're so good!
Gun Mo, congratulations.
- Gun Mo, Happy 60th birthday. - Gun Mo, congratulations.
- I hope you live long. - It was amazing.
- That was incredible. - They're so good.
Gun Mo, you are the one that needs to be eliminated.
The three of them are perfect.
- They're amazing. - They're like a girl group.
They don't usually use fireworks in variety shows.
- You're right. - The smoke makes it hard to sing.
Even professional singers have difficulty singing.
The three of them don't seem to be out of breath at all.
- That's true. - He's the only one who's exhausted.
He didn't even sing much.
He just has lights sewed on his jacket.
He just has lights on his jacket.
I thought he'd sing.
He can't wear that during the monsoon season.
- That could cause a big problem. - He'll get shocked.
You should save your energy.
As I said,
this programme is not about listening to the singers sing.
I mentioned that the passion the competitors have,
their love for singing and their skills...
is what we are really here to witness.
Their performance made it clear that...
what I thought was right.
Good. Now, let's hear what the panels think.
- All right. - It's really difficult today.
It's a close match.
I'm sure Gun Mo is also having a hard time.
Sadang Internet Cafe Lady seems to have gotten the most votes.
She got six votes.
Yongdap Queen Bee got four votes,
and Masan Sulli also got four votes.
Jang Hoon and I looked at each other...
when Sadang Internet Cafe Lady was singing...
because...
- she sings in accurate tune. - Is that so?
Not to mention the rhythm.
I think Gun Mo must have thought she's talented as well.
What's amazing about Sadang Internet Cafe Lady is...
she's so relaxed that she could even...
enjoy the performance with us.
- She's relaxed. - Yes, I was really surprised.
If one wins, they need to continue performing.
- That's right. - Sadang Internet Cafe Lady...
sings both slow and fast songs.
Above all, she's energetic.
When it comes to energy, Yongdap Queen Bee is the best.
- You're right. She's powerful. - I think she could...
I think she could even run a marathon after the shooting today.
- She's really energetic. - She could run right away, right?
Yongdap Queen Bee was dancing and singing at the same time.
We know it's hard since we also do that.
- I can imagine. - In spite of that,
- her singing was stable. - I was surprised.
- I really love Masan Sulli's voice. - Me, too.
I think if she sang with Sir Kim Gun Mo,
they would create something beautiful.
- With Sir Kim Gun Mo? - Just call him Gun Mo.
- Gun Mo, I'm sorry. - Gun Mo.
You don't need to address me that way.
- Gun Mo. - That's too old-fashioned.
Gun Mo, that's too old-fashioned.
I don't deserve such a title.
You should just take it.
- It must be hard to choose one. - It is hard.
Gun Mo has both fast-paced songs...
and slow-paced songs like his ballads.
I think he should pick someone...
who can sing many different genres.
- I think so. - Who's that?
- I'd pick Masan Sulli. - Masan Sulli.
Who would you choose if they were applying for Sistar?
- I'd pick Yongdap Queen Bee. - I see.
Because she can dance and sing.
She said he should choose one who can manage many genres.
- Gun Mo. - Yes.
If you've made a decision, please press the button.
Have you made a decision?
Wasn't it difficult?
It was...
not that difficult.
- He's cold. - Are you staying with...
- your first decision? - Yes.
- Really? - Yes.
- I see. Then... - Wait a second.
As you all know, my final song...
- is going to be "I'm Sorry". - Yes, it is.
- Can you sing a little bit of it? - You said you made a decision.
Now that I'm about to decide,
- I feel hesitant. - I see. Do you want them to sing?
You are.
Number three.
You are my lady.
Okay.
You are my lady.
Okay.
This makes me even more nervous.
You are my lady.
- Okay. - They sing...
Did you change your mind after listening to them sing?
- No. - It didn't change?
- No, it didn't. - Why did you ask for it then?
- Excuse me. - Yes.
I need to go home early.
I can't stay here for long.
All right. Gun Mo, if you've made a decision,
please press the button.
If you've considered your options carefully, press the button.
Candidate number one is Masan Sulli.
Candidate number two is Yongdap Queen Bee.
Candidate number three is Sadang Internet Cafe Lady.
If you made a decision, please press the button!
Did you press the button?
- Yes, I did. - He pressed the button.
Gun Mo has pressed the button.
Who is going to be Gun Mo's fantastic duo?
Let's check it out...
right now!
It's Masan Sulli!
Masan Sulli is his fantastic duo.
You said you didn't change your mind.
I knew I was going to choose her...
when she sang "Moon of Seoul".
- She can always improve on rhythm. - You're right.
I've never heard a voice like hers.
It felt very refreshing.
- Of course the other two were good. - They were.
It really is a shame.
You two were so good.
I am disappointed,
but I'll just go back to my internet cafe.
- She's so optimistic. - Yes.
- Good luck. - I think she'll become someone big.
Good luck.
- She will make it. - Yes.
Thank you.
I've only been on stage to dance.
I was very grateful to be able to sing on stage today.
It was a great experience for me.
Great work.
Let's find Yang Hee Eun's fantastic duo!
She's been a key figure in K-pop...
and the queen of folk music for 46 years.
Hee Eun chose "Morning Dew" for the preliminaries on "Everysing".
The younger generation doesn't know that I'm a singer.
They know me for the meme, "What is your name?"
I haven't heard that one in a while.
They know me as the lady that hosts shows and is funny.
That's what they know me as.
When I first sang this song, I wasn't even 19 years old.
After graduating from high school and university,
people face difficulties in choosing a path.
Perhaps they have restraints.
There are a lot of people going through a hard time.
This song really consoled me.
I hope that it would also console the youth of this time.
Is this your debut song?
Yes. It's a song from 45 years ago.
There are a lot of young people here.
In the 70s and 80s, "Morning Dew" was...
as popular as the national anthem in Korea.
Hee Eun invites me over for meals often.
I only thought of her as a friend who cooks well.
- A good cook? - Come to think of it,
- she was an icon of the time. - She was.
She was the IU of that time.
This song is my debut song that I released in 1971.
It was before I turned 19 years old.
How old were you when you first heard this song?
I think I was around 20 years old.
It was probably in my 20s.
My friends and I were in high school when we sang this song.
I think I was around 12 years old.
When I was my daughter's age.
- Thanks to Dad. - Thanks to Dad.
Just now.
- Did you hear what he said? - My son listens...
- to it for prenatal music. - It's Na Young.
It's Kim Na Young.
She participated.
I dedicate this song...
to all the youth of this nation.
What kind of dream did you have back then?
I'm dreaming of getting a permanent job.
I'm working hard to save up for my wedding.
I want to go to school without worrying about tuition.
I want to pass the test and become a police officer! I can do it!
Good luck to all the students taking the university entry exam!
He sounds like Kim Kwang Seok.
It's so amazing.
This is unbelievable.
It's so touching.
My goodness.
It's so touching.
Seriously.
It was so touching until he showed up.
I can sing even higher.
Men can sing in women's key, too.
I like this team.
- He's so cute. - He's good.
He's the one.
All right.
That was Hee Eun.
Goodness.
Why are you tearing up?
Wasn't it touching?
It was.
It was the most touching video...
except for the part Kim Yeong Cheol came out.
It was very touching.
There were two old men singing.
- Yes. - They were off beat,
but they really moved me.
However, I assume Hee Eun was most touched out of us all.
- Yes. - I think I saw her tear up.
Yes, I cried.
What did you think?
I think that songs belong to the person that sings it.
When one composes and writes lyrics to a song...
and introduces it to the world,
there is a refraction.
A refraction between the composer and the singer.
From there on, millions of more refractions can happen.
It's so beautiful, like reflections of light.
That's only possible when people sing it.
- That's right. - Music is...
It belongs to the one that sings it.
That was words of wisdom.
When I first heard this song,
it changed my life.
I loved the ending.
"I'll leave now with all of my sadness behind."
I'm the eldest daughter of a single mother.
I was really hopeless then since my mother...
was having trouble with her business.
It made me think if I could really leave for the vast fields...
with all my sorrows behind? Will such a time come?
I wasn't rich.
I couldn't pay tuition and my siblings were always sick.
Our family had a hard time.
I wanted to be free from all those troubles.
Which contestants would you like to see today, Jang Hoon?
I liked Sadang Dimples...
because...
he conveyed the same emotions as Hee Eun did.
The 19-year-old Hee Eun...
and Sadang Dimples, who is 19 years old, can sing a duet.
I'm stunned.
If they do that, it will really make a great impact.
On top of that, Sadang Dimples...
- The ladies are cheering you. - He has a lot of fans.
Sadang Dimples...
is handsome.
As soon as he came out, she said, "He's the one."
- She kept saying that he's the one. - What does she mean?
The thing is, when I heard Sadang Dimples sing,
I could feel sorrow in his voice.
- Don't lie. - You're lying.
You like him because he's cute.
What sorrow would a 19-year-old have?
Sadang Dimples has to come out.
I want to see his dimples.
- I like Tent Bar Kim Kwang Seok. - Me, too.
"Morning Dew" goes well with a tent bar.
I don't think he's intentionally trying to sing like Kwang Seok.
I think he was born with that voice.
If he comes out,
I think something amazing will happen today.
Personally, I want Age over Flowers to come out.
They really lived and enjoyed that time.
I think they can relate to each other.
When I heard A Girl When Singing,
I was suddenly reminded of my mother.
When I go to a karaoke with my mother,
her vibrato, which comes from her emotions...
often makes me cry.
I think that's something we can look forward to.
All right. Here are the three contestants for Hee Eun.
Now, who will become Hee Eun's fantastic duo?
Who do you think will be the first contestant?
- Tent Bar! - Tent Bar?
- Age over Flowers. - Tent Bar or Sadang Dimples?
Sadang Dimples.
- A Girl When Singing. - Sadang Dimples.
Age over Flowers.
Who is our first contestant?
It's Sadang Dimples!
Everyone is so happy.
He has a sweet and emotional voice.
He'll seduce all the ladies with his dimples.
- He's handsome. - You're so cute.
- You're handsome. - Mi Sun is happy.
Who will be Hee Eun's second fantastic duo candidate?
- Tent Bar! - Age over Flowers.
Tent Bar? Let's meet the second contestant.
It's Tent Bar Kim Kwang Seok.
- Tent Bar! - It's Kang Han Sol.
With his harmonica and voice, he'll bring us to tears.
He sounds just like Kim Kwang Seok. It's Kang Han Sol.
He has the same hair style.
He smiled for the first time.
Let's meet Hee Eun's last contestant.
It's the senior band, Age over Flowers.
Age isn't important when it comes to music.
They will show us today what youth really means.
That's amazing.
Nice to meet you.
Please give the three teams a big round of applause.
As of today, I have 146 days left until my university entrance exam.
I'm Lim Soo Jong and I'm a senior at high school.
- He's in high school. - He's a senior.
I told you he had a sorrowful voice.
It was because he's in his last year of school.
- I get it now. - Don't try to piece it together.
Where are your dimples?
- Dimples. - One on each side.
Smile.
He's so handsome.
He's the type that a lot of girls like these days.
I can tell that his mother cared about his looks as a baby.
His face is long and slender like cucumber.
If you lay a baby on his back, the back of his head becomes flat.
- Hyun Moo would be an example. - Are you saying Hyun Moo...
Are you saying his mum sat on his face?
- I mean... - My mum used me as a cushion.
- You were just on your back. - If you flip your baby...
when he's lying down, the baby's head will be shaped oval.
I suddenly want to blame my mother.
You're only 19 years old.
It's not easy to come across Hee Eun's song at your age.
- That's true. - It's an old song as well.
When I was going through puberty and my voice hadn't changed yet,
a lot of people told me that I sounded like her.
I was curious...
so I looked up her songs. My mother told me...
that "Morning Dew" was a song which was sung often...
during student revolts at that time.
I tried to understand that period...
while singing the song.
- I see. - There's something that worries me.
- Your entrance exam is coming up. - That's right.
You won't get to study if you win five times.
- That's true. You have two months. - Which is it? You have to choose.
I already made my decision before coming here.
I'm sure he'll take care of it. That's none of your business.
Is that how you talk to your elders?
I'm really curious about him. Tent Bar Kim Kwang Seok.
Hello. I'm a man who sings at tent bars.
I'm 26 years old. My name is Kang Han Sol.
Welcome.
Most people busk at streets of Hongdae.
I don't know if it's my voice or because...
I sing older songs, but people don't like me much in Hongdae.
That's why I perform at tent bars or places like Boramae Park.
Is your audience usually seniors?
- That's right. - The way he talks is similar...
- to the late Kim Kwang Seok. - That's right.
Your complexion...
doesn't look so healthy.
I heard our producers did something for you.
Yes. I look weak because I live on instant noodles.
I think they felt sorry for me. They bought me meat.
Really?
- My goodness. - He...
He just looks so weak when he has to go on stage.
Just looking at him makes you want to help.
I'd never imagine him to be 26 years old.
- Stop saying that. - I think...
he needs to shape his eyebrows.
They're so bushy.
- You didn't need to point that out. - Why are you talking about that?
- That was a great observation. - It makes him look sadder.
His eyebrows are the only features that look healthy.
Is there a song by Kwang Seok you could sing for us?
- Do you want me to sing now? - Yes.
- Could you sing "At Around 30"? - Yes.
Let's see if he sounds similar.
Another day is drifting away.
Just like the cigarette smoke that is just spurted out.
His voice sounds so sad.
- It does. - There's depth to it.
Don't shape your eyebrows.
You express yourself through them.
He moves them a lot.
- It still needs to be shaped. - I see.
Now, let's meet the team with the strongest presence.
Age over Flowers, please introduce yourselves.
Our average age is 60.
Altogether, we've been doing music as a hobby for 168 years.
We dream of becoming senior idols. We're...
- Age over Flowers. - Age over Flowers.
They're an idol group.
- Is Hee Eun older? - I'm older.
- Are you? - Really?
Most people are younger than me.
Is there a reason why you first started the band?
I was born in 1955 as the first generation of baby boomers.
- That's right. - Things changed rapidly back then.
You had to do what you had to, not what you wanted.
- That's true. - So I got married and had kids.
Now, I have time and I'm free to do what I want to.
That's why I started music and I want to continue doing so.
We'll play music until the day we die.
- Wow. - That's great.
I heard that there's a person...
who had a crush on Hee Eun.
Really?
Who is that?
- That would be me. - He was standing right next to her.
- He must be shy. - He's hiding behind his instrument.
Please look at each other. Why are you blushing?
He can't look at her straight in the eye.
When I was young,
in one of the streets of Jongno near the YMCA building,
I saw Hee Eun walk out of a building after giving a performance.
When I saw Hee Eun with a guitar wearing jeans,
- That's when you fell for her. - I fell in love with her.
That must have been in 1971.
- Yes. - She hasn't changed at all, right?
- Goodness. - She is still youthful.
She is beautiful. I love you.
Thank you.
He got what he came here for.
That's right.
You should say something to him. He said he loves you.
Please look at him in the eye.
Well, if...
- Just say something. - I really can't do this.
- Hee Eun must be shy. - Yes.
Thank you, Won Seob.
It's nice to meet you.
That's more like Hee Eun.
We will start the First Impression Medley.
He has a great voice.
This is great.
I love this song.
It sounds great.
That was nice.
I wish they would all be a team.
- All together? - They sound great together.
Hee Eun, what did you think of the performances?
I was thinking to myself that it's a hard decision to make.
- You must be undecided. - Yes.
All right. Candidates,
please move upstage for the competition.
As a song is a story,
I believe that the story should move one's heart.
So please think of the lyrics carefully.
As each person has a different impression of the same word,
please focus on your heart...
and sing.
Okay. Please, cue the music.
He has a great voice.
Why are you crying again, Yoon Jeong?
Look at Hee Eun. She's crying.
What made you cry, Hee Eun?
I don't know why.
My eyes just welled up.
I can't say that this song is mine.
You sang it back to me.
I think that moved me.
Hee Eun...
- doesn't cry often. - I don't.
- I'm surprised, too. - She rarely cries.
If she has tears in her eyes, it's usually because her eyes hurt.
- But now, - Do your eyes hurt?
- she seems moved. - You're right.
Let's hear what the panel thought.
Although every team has its stories,
I think Hee Eun could see her 19-year-old self...
in Sadang Dimples when he sang this song.
If she sings with him,
it'll move a lot of people.
Hee Eun's voice cuts through space.
But her voice was softened...
by Sadang Dimple's voice.
That's why I recommend him. Why are you laughing?
- Don't make me look bad. - You just like his voice, right?
My eyes were closed while he was singing.
You're lying.
You kept saying that he's handsome.
As each team has completely different styles,
- I think you should take... - You're right.
Into consideration which song you're going to sing in the finals.
In the finals,
- I'll sing "Love, on Its Solitude". - I see.
- "Love, on Its Solitude"? - Then...
- That's great. - It is.
Look at Tent Bar Kim Kwang Seok.
You couldn't look lonelier than him.
He looks very lonely.
At least...
At least, it's summer. How would he look in the winter?
He has to take the entrance exam.
What is he going to do?
As for Age over Flowers, we have only two chairs.
How are we going to fit all of them?
We can get more chairs.
You don't have to worry about that.
- This studio is small. - It's not something to worry over.
This is a small studio.
Let's save the young man.
We have to pick him.
It's a good thing that the staff treated him to some meat.
Why don't you buy him some meat?
- That's a great idea. - I will. What do you like?
I like pork.
- Pork? - That's good.
You were worried he'd say beef, weren't you?
It's nice of you to say pork.
You could have said beef. You're too kind.
- The 19-year-old boy... - Yes?
Won't be able to understand the lyrics.
- Is that so? - You're right.
Everyone meets someone who they can't forget.
A breakup they can't forget.
What does he know about that?
He might know.
- He'd be lying. - He doesn't?
- Would he be lying? - He's being attacked.
He probably thinking of English words he has to remember.
He's 19 years old.
He has to take the exam in 100 days.
What are you going to do if he fails the exam?
19-year-olds might understand love.
- Myung Soo. - Also,
Tent Bar Kim Kwang Seok...
might do a good job in the beginning.
Everyone meets someone.
But I don't think he's ever been in love.
- What are you talking about? - After love ends.
What do you mean?
- The world ends. - Look.
You don't think he's ever been in love?
Why do you think he goes to Boramae Park?
- He goes there to find love. - What logic is that?
- You went too far. - Did I?
But the members in Age over Flowers...
all have perfect voices for the song.
It's because they know how to convey the emotions.
What's scarier than a boy's innocence is...
an old man's innocence.
Did their opinions help?
Not at all.
Not at all?
- They didn't help at all. - Has any singer...
failed to choose one candidate?
- No. - No.
Could I be the first one?
- Is it hard to choose one? - Yes.
But you have to make a choice.
Who will be Hee Eun's fantastic duo?
If you've made up your mind,
- please push the button. - Which direction should I face?
- Please turn around. - Turn around?
- Yes, that's right. - Okay.
Has Hee Eun made up her mind?
If you've made up your mind, please push the button.
Please push the button!
Have you pushed the button?
- Yes, I have. - I see.
It didn't take long although it was a hard decision.
Yes. I've made up my mind.
Why did you choose that team?
Because he's the same age as me when I started singing.
What would that mean?
It's Sadang Dimples.
Lim Soo Jong.
I'm quite surprised.
I expected you to choose Age over Flowers.
I see.
I have a strong and deep voice. This makes it hard for me...
to find the perfect partner to sing a duet with...
unless they are a soprano.
That's why I chose someone...
who can sing high notes.
It's very meaningful as well.
- He's the same age as you... - That's right.
- when you started out. - You're right.
I'm really looking forward to your performance.
You hard a hard time choosing but you were very objective.
- He seems very disappointed. - She's a professional, that's why.
- Are you disappointed? - Yes, I am.
- You are. - You are.
Our goal was to be 1 of the 3 candidates.
When we decided to participate,
we wanted to be 1 of the 3 so we can be on television.
I was able to perform with Hee Eun on the same stage.
My dream came true. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Let me treat you to dinner.
- Make sure you do that. - Okay.
If you don't treat him to dinner, I will.
I don't want you to feel sorry for yourself...
when you go busking.
Also, you need to strengthen your voice.
Meat will help a lot with that.
A 19-year-old will sing with Hee Eun who used to be 19 years old.
I didn't expect such chemistry between those two.
We prepared a special collaborative performance.
Hee Eun has been performing for such a long time,
and she's always been trying different things.
You've been in a project called "An Unexpected Encounter",
where you collaborated with young artists...
like Yoon Jong Shin, Lee Juck and Yuk Joong Wan.
That's right. I wanted to try different things,
while collaborating with young artists...
before I retire.
With artists like Lee Sang Soon and Astro Bits,
I've been releasing a song every 4 or 5 months.
It's still going on. A new song will...
- be released soon. - I see.
You'll be surprised to see who she will be performing...
the special collaborative performance with.
They're so cute and adorable.
They'll make you smile.
Can you give us more hints?
They'll remind you of me and my sister, Yang Hee Kyung.
- They will? - Yes.
I see.
Are they twin sisters?
Are they twins?
It's either Tutti or Wink.
- It's either Tutti or Wink? - Yes.
It'll be hilarious to see Tutti here.
- Let's see who they are. - Who could it be?
Who are they?
AKMU!
Hee Eun debuted 43 years ago, and you debuted 3 years ago.
Just like she debuted when she was 19 years old,
- I was 19 years old when I debuted. - He's right.
- You were? - Yes.
And you're the only folk musician in YG Entertainment.
- That's right. - I see.
Most of the other artists are hip hop musicians.
We'd be closer to her in terms of music genre.
- You're closer to her than to YG. - That's right.
Her name starts with a Y, too.
- Yes. - That's true.
Which song are you going to sing?
We're going to sing "Mother to Daughter".
Since we're siblings,
we think of the same person when we sing...
this song about a mother.
It's likely you have the same mother.
Yes.
It's not just likely, it's true.
There are families that are different.
Isn't this the only song of yours with a rap?
It is. It's the only one.
You'll get to hear Chan Hyuk rap today.
Thank you.
Well...
Every female panel member is crying.
It seems like Jung Min came here to cry.
She's been crying the whole time.
There are some songs that go in one ear and out the other.
- Other songs stay in your head. - That's right.
And some stay in your heart.
Hee Eun's songs always...
stay in your heart.
I must have gotten it from Jung Min.
It was...
what my mother said to me and what I want to say to my daughter.
So...
Any working mum would relate to it.
I'm so embarrassed.
I'm sorry.
This song must have...
healed different wounds that people have in their hearts.
I think that's what made me cry.
She sang that she wasn't a good mum.
Exactly. I was too busy earning money to be a good mum.
This song...
was once in a commercial.
- I see. - There was this one time...
when I cried after seeing that commercial.
- Really? - I did.
Jang Hoon seems like a big man,
but deep down, he's just a little girl.
Deep down, I'm a little girl.
- He watches soap operas these days. - I was really surprised.
I think I would have been a good student,
if Hee Eun had been my mum.
- Why? - "You should study."
You should study.
- Is it because of the lyrics? - It'd be hard to not study.
Sol Bin, you were crying so much.
Why did you cry so much?
Just by hearing the word, "mum",
I can't stop crying.
When I was listening to the song,
I was reminded of the fight I had with my mum yesterday.
- Goodness. - That made me cry.
Why did you fight?
I'm on a diet right now and so she tells me I don't eat enough.
She always says...
I should eat. She repeats it every day.
Sol Bin, you should eat.
I always fight with my mum about the same thing...
and the lyrics just spoke to me.
You should call her today and apologise.
Okay. I love you, Mum.
Will they be able to keep their thrones?
It was like a musical.
We don't need to compare him to Stevie Wonder.
He's just Kim Gun Mo. That says everything.
He was looking at her so desperately.
I really tried to tell her how much I love her.
I love you so much.
Really?
I'm really surprised.
