Get out of my zone.
Are you ready?
I will take care of it. Get out of my zone.
Don't judge me. You are more embarrassing.
Your standards.
You are making me achieve what you couldn't achieve.
That's violent.
I'm not a marionette. All right, you are a nice match.
Start the fire. Am I too rude?
The weight of my dead dream is ultralight.
Sharing my friend's tiny house was my beginning.
Hip-hop viva la vida. I'm frowning.
And my story became a tree.
Now I can tell who's real and who's not.
Rhyme and flow.
Forget the vaccine. I'll get a cold.
Fever and a cold suit me well.
Keep dreaming. Go away. It's my life.
The green light is on.
It's safe to cross the road now.
[Hip-Hop Teacher] [Episode 1]
Raise your right hand.
Look to your right. Look to your left.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hey Ji Suk, don't cross now!
The light's turning red!
Don't cross now!
Hello!
Hey, Hey. Hey!
Jeung. Im.
Moo.
Hwang.
Tae. Now play those notes.
Take your danso out. Play it. (Korean bamboo flute)
You have to do it right. Sit up straight.
Look at this picture. Look at this clip.
Listen to what he says.
The lip is very important. Your lip should always--
Ms. Kong, danso is so boring.
That's what I mean.
I want to ditch the class and go have a beer.
I can't play it. Can I play recorder instead?
My goodness.
I'm these adorable kids' music teacher.
No, no. Play it.
Things turned out this way.
Get ready for the next class.
Homeroom 5-3 teacher, Lee Hwang.
Seul Gi.
As you can see, he was meant to be a teacher.
Thank you for taking care of my kids.
Lee Hwang, out.
I have to be calm. Be calm.
It's game over already.
It's not pleasing to see you trying so hard to win against little kids.
Who said you could talk like that to a teacher?
Yae Jin?
I have eyes on my back too.
Isn't being a homeroom teacher very hard?
Oh no, I get energized whenever I see them.
He is completely different from me.
Excuse me.
Seul Gi.
Have you ever tried this? It's corn-flavored milk.
No. This is what everyone was talking about.
Yes. This is so popular these days.
They have even talked about it on the news.
I asked the deliveryman to get me one.
I was going to give this to the winner of the "Running Man" game.
Did you win? Why compete against the kids...
Try it. It's savory and sweet.
Ha, our homeroom teacher proposed to her.
Yae Jin, that's not true. Go back to your class.
You gave her the milk. You gave her everything.
You sure do love her. You will marry her--
- You can drink this. - I'm fine.
Ha, our homeroom teacher got dumped.
Just give it a try.
Hold on.
- Buy me one. - Okay, but keep this a secret.
Four hours until I go home.
30 years until I retire.
Thursday night! It's my night to go out!
How exciting.
We have to catch that bus.
Thanks...
Do you have a lighter?
I'm a high school student.
You haven't learned how to smoke yet?
Are you worried if you get a head start there will be nothing left to learn?
What is wrong with you?
What about you, Sister?
Me?
I don't have one.
- You can have this. - Oh, a match?
You are classic.
I guess you smoke too?
No. I used them for my kids' creativity lesson last week.
It's dangerous to keep them in class.
Anyway. You can use them if you want.
Bus 7728.
Bus 7728 will be arriving soon.
The only getaway from my boring life.
Hip-Hop Club.
Once a week. On this day, I secretly get hyped.
But this is the limit to the amount of freedom I'm allowed.
- Because I'm a teacher. - Come in.
Ladies are free on weekdays.
No, I'm waiting for someone. I have to get going.
Carry this for me. I will meet you here later.
Who are you? Hey!
Who is that?
What am I doing here?
Cheers!
He is fabulous.
I thought she was out of her mind.
But I kind of envy her.
- Shh! Just for a second. - What are you doing--
Look at him. He is crying.
Stop it--
I will buy you a drink as an apology.
Forget it. That would make us look more like a couple.
Oh, you are that kind of person.
You're narrow-minded about who a person should love.
I thought you were cool, since you smoke and stuff.
- Are you talking about that match? - Bingo.
Oh, I know this story.
Is he your ex-boyfriend? Is he getting married?
- You're wrong. - What? Do you want to get back with him?
He was my homeroom teacher. He pushed my life into the gutter.
"You can't always do what you want to do in life."
He never stopped lecturing about life.
And he dated one of his young students.
A liar. A bastard.
A bald old man!
I can see why he makes you so upset.
You should teach him a lesson.
How can I do that? I have no right to do that.
You don't need a license to teach someone a lesson.
- Shall we teach him a lesson? - I would do that if I could.
- Teach him a good lesson. - Okay.
- Here we go. - Wait, wait, wait.
What are you doing?
- You are crazy. - That was a good text message.
A liar. A bastard. A bald old man!
I'm sorry. That clip was...
No, that's okay. It will grow back soon.
I have never seen you with any hair.
Anyway. How are you doing? Are you doing well?
- Yes. - You are not doing hip-hop, right?
Do you think I would be doing that now? No one supported me.
- I will get going. - Hey, Seul Gi.
I had no choice back then.
You know your mom.
She already knew everything when she came to talk to me.
And you are doing well now.
- You should be thankful for me-- - Yes.
Congratulations on your wedding!
Congratulations!
Congratulations.
Drink.
Why do you keep following me?
You can leave now.
Because it's fun.
Did your homeroom teacher tell your mom what was going on?
Do you want it?
You can have it.
I don't need it.
Everyone wants it. You don't want it?
Why do you hold yourself back so much?
If you want something take it. If you are upset, let your anger out.
If you want to go to the club, go ahead.
By the way, what do you do for living?
I'm a teacher.
An elementary school teacher.
That's surprising.
Why?
Can't teachers drink and swear
and make a lame class curriculum?
Do I have to live a boring and lame life?
- Is that educational! - Hey, be quiet!
- I know! - She said she knows!
Hey.
Run!
Stop.
You have so many accessories.
We are not going to stop.
This is strange. This crazy woman.
She is attractive.
[Watch your drinking, Kong Seul Gi!]
Get ready for the next class. Keep it down.
I think she was drinking last night.
Her face is all puffy.
All right.
Last class, we learned how to read the notes.
- Yes. - Yes.
Today, let's play them.
I will play the first measure.
- Ms. Kong. - Ms. Kong.
I'm sorry.
Do you need to throw up?
You left this.
What are you doing here?
Me?
Starting today, I am teaching here.
As you... all know
this is the welcome dinner
for our new temporary English teacher Kim Yu Bin.
All right.
Would you like to say something, Ms. Kim?
Wait. Hold on.
Let me tell you more about her first.
She learned English
during six months of work-study at an asparagus farm in Australia.
Is he trying to embarrass me?
Even though she does not have her teaching certification yet
I hope she will get along with our other teachers.
Please don't leave her out.
- Okay. - "Don't leave her out?"
You know we treat all teachers the same.
We don't differentiate between temporary and full-time.
- Yes. - Yes.
Let me say a few words
as the vice principal of Chung Dan Elementary School.
This seating chart is wrong.
Why are all the homeroom teachers sitting at one table
and all the subject teachers at another?
Even though homeroom teachers
do all of the work, you guys shouldn't do this.
Mix it up. All teachers are the same.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
Isn't this great?
While we are at it...
My fun Friday is being taken away.
Let's run away.
We should respect one another. As human beings--
Hongdae? Itaewon?
- Wherever it is, let's go. - Forget it, Ms. Kim Yu Bin.
Just spin this.
That's why I asked everyone to gather here.
Why are you wasting your talent?
You need to do well at these team dinners to do well at work.
When are you going to the club again?
What do you think, Ms. Kong Seul Gi?
- Yes, I agree. - Disagree.
- Disagree.
- No way. Please stop it. - Disagree.
Ms. Kong, why are you always so obedient? This is a hierarchical relationship.
As I always say
we have to have a linear relationship.
Okay, Hee Bong!
See? This is so funny.
- "Okay, Hee Bong." - No.
You can't get excited.
What are we all doing here, just to make you happy!
- Wow. - Hee Bong.
I guess you have
ill feelings toward me.
Vice Principal...
- Sir. - Vice Principal.
This is why I didn't want to do this.
The freedom to say taboo words.
Hip-hop is the fruit of the resistance.
Please allow me the freedom of speech.
Please allow me to be free.
- Mr. Jo! - Mr. Jo!
Did you see me? Did you see me? Did you see me?
Did you see me dating another girl?
You have to trust
your guy.
I love
only you.
Did you see me? Did you see me? Did you see me?
Did you see me dating another girl?
You have to trust
your guy.
- Encore, encore, encore. - Thank you.
All right.
Shall we pass the microphone
to our music teacher now?
Shall we call a truce and let her sing?
Ms. Kong, Ms. Kong.
Just sing a random song.
I know you guys will be mad if I sing a random song.
- Let's find one in the beginning. - You can sing anything.
- Just a moment please. - She studies here, too.
Ms. Kong, can't you just sing something?
The vice principal is waiting for you.
[The Tough Girl]
- Sister Yu Bin. You are pretty. - She's crazy.
You are pretty.
When they see me, they go Ah, so pretty, ah, ah, ah, so pretty.
Even when I look at myself I can see the superior genes.
That's right, got my jams on super fly.
Everyone asks me who's your mama? Who? Who?
They hashtag Jessi sexy.
In a taxi that only takes boy toys.
Who that, who that. They call me fierce girl.
True that, True that. A seriously fierce girl.
Dying, dying, everyone’s backing down.
See that, see that.
Whatever I wear
even if I swear no matter what people say about me.
Should I stop the song?
- Ah so pretty, ah ah, ah so pretty. - Ah so pretty, ah ah, ah so pretty.
Ah so pretty, ah ah, ah so pretty.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
What's going on?
Why did you stop it? I was having fun.
Mr. Jo, you don't even know this song. Why did you interrupt me?
Huh?
I like popular songs too.
"Show Me the Money." "Unpretty Superstar."
I know them all.
Just sing your trot songs.
This is my welcome dinner. Don't make it a farewell dinner.
- What? - What should we do?
I think our temporary teacher Kim Yu Bin doesn't know
how to fit into the group.
You should learn a lot from our certified teachers.
Our certified teachers.
Wait a second... Are you looking down on me because I'm not certified?
Look at her.
I'm older than you. How can you look me in the eyes and talk to me like that?
Dear Mr. Jo, who loves horizontal relationships.
- What? - Now, I can see what's going on.
What? What was that?
- It's a cross. - A cross? I don't go to church.
- Just leave. - Be careful. There is a tree.
- Please... hold him - Ugh, I need to go home
Please drive safely. Bye.
- Bye. - Goodnight.
Mr. Choi, hurry up and come here.
Let's go together.
Get in.
Another long day.
Aren't you very tired these days too?
These days?
For me, it's the same every day.
That's a relief. It seems like you are having a hard time teaching music.
And the kids say the music class is very boring.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's okay. It's not fun for me either.
He is getting closer to the top of the music chart. Macho King is here.
- Hello. Welcome. - Hello.
- I'm the hot guy, Macho King. - Don't you think Macho King is cool?
I want to be a teacher who has swag.
What kind of teacher do you want to be?
I just want to be the one who gets to go home early.
Sir, can we listen to something else?
- You wouldn't have time to date. - I'm dating hip-hop.
I enjoy making music.
I only date, and I will always date hip-hop.
You moron. Are you proud of that?
- Let's listen to his song first-- - I'm a fan of his, too.
I saw him on "Happy Together." He has eight or nine cars.
He must have earned a lot of money.
Celebrities are the best these days.
That's right.
When I was young teachers were the best.
But nowadays, celebrities are the best.
Kids don't listen to their teachers anymore.
Kids look down on teachers.
My kid said his teacher is cute.
What are the teachers doing to the kids?
How could he say his teacher is "cute"? That's crazy.
Oh. By any chance are you Ji Suk's father?
You must be his father. I'm Ji Suk's homeroom teacher.
No, I'm not his father.
Well. I'm pretty sure you are his father.
Hello.
Hello, Ji Suk's father.
When I was young teachers were the best.
Kids don't listen to teachers anymore.
Kids look down on teachers.
I will let them have some fun today.
Guys.
We are going to learn one of the challenging pop songs.
Ms. Kong.
Look at the paper I gave you.
Oh, this is my dad's favorite song.
But you can't sing this song if you are not drunk.
I can't teach you when I'm not drunk.
I got this from the deliveryman.
- Do you want some? - No.
That's great. Since you guys all know this song, we can sing it well, right?
Yes.
Shall we begin then?
One, two.
After you leave
If you hear about me
- From now on. - From now on
please say you don't know me.
- In my heart. - In my heart.
I always loved you more in my heart.
But I'm trying to erase you now.
- Little by little. - I love you.
I love you.
I wanted tell you
I love you.
But instead I always told you I'm sorry.
I will be
forgotten
and erased.
I miss the day
- I first met you. - Hey.
Kim Sung Hoon, please forget about love.
Please stop liking me.
- Kim Sung Hoon got dumped. - Hey.
Guys, sit down. We are in the middle of a lesson.
It's because of you. Hey!
- Kim Sung Hoon got dumped. - Stop it!
I heard Mr. Lee's kids had a lover's quarrel.
Did something happen during class?
I'm a loser. I can't even control elementary students. A loser.
Oh, come on.
Let me just continue with what I was doing.
Macho.
Are you feeling better now?
Look at him. Isn't he cute?
He is on every show these days. Macho King, you rock.
I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
What is this?
Calm down, and listen to me.
How could you steal mine?
Steal? What do you mean I stole yours?
I will explain everything.
You are the worst of the worst.
- How can you call yourself a rapper? - What?
You always write new songs
but you can't perform because of your mom.
What did you say? What did you just say?
How is that an excuse for you doing this?
With this, we will become popular and be successful soon.
This is like a highway. A highway to success.
We are doing this together. You write the lyrics, and I sing it.
We will be the best duo. We are the best team. We can do this.
Forget it. You do it yourself.
You do it all by yourself. You bastard.
I don't need it anymore.
I don't need this notebook or hip-hop.
Oh, and you.
You, you, you. I don't need you at all.
I'm going to keep this then.
Oh, Yeonnam fly girl.
Hey.
- Hey, hey. - Who are you?
Hey, did you come to see me?
Huh?
Don't talk to me like that.
I didn't come here to see you.
You still hate me, right?
Hey, come back.
I know you want to come back.
- Am I wrong? - Do you think I'm out of my mind?
Why would I get back together with you?
Hip-hop.
I mean come back to the hip-hop world.
Is your mom still holding you back?
Hip-hop will become your new mother.
This is my gift to you.
It's yours. Swag.
Are you drunk? Huh? Are you drunk?
You were happy when you were making music.
On the album I'm producing--
I'm doing that too.
You are doing it too? Who's album is it?
Well...
I miss the days with my mom...
Oh, Producer Kong.
Are you getting some fresh air while the kids are practicing?
- Oh, yes. - Kids?
Our Producer Kong has a roomful of trainees.
Did you say that they are going to debut in December of next year?
Sure. If they can keep up with what they are doing now.
Have you been working in this field?
Stop trying to get in my way.
Okay? Let's go.
Okay.
Hey, Seul Gi. Can I call you?
Can I follow you on Instagram?
Attention please.
Here at Chung Dan Elementary School, we have gathered the parents' opinions
and we are going to come up with
a brand new after-school program this year.
Please share your thoughts on this.
- Well. - Yes, Mr. Lee.
How about a traditional Korean poetry class?
I'm sure you guys read about it in the newspaper.
Today's kids are not as familiar with Chinese characters.
The kids are not interested in learning about our culture and history.
- I think it is a good time to-- - Please, have a seat.
- Okay. - Have a seat.
Ms. Kong.
How about danso class?
I don't want these old-fashioned, boring ideas.
There are things that could be taught outside of school.
Things only we could teach at Chung Dan Elementary School.
What about hip-hop?
- Hip-hop? - Hip-hop.
Do you think the parents would want their kids to become entertainers?
Everyone wants to be an "entertainer" these days.
Moms try very hard to turn their kids into celebrities.
Good idea.
Based on how well you guys do in these after-school classes
I will decide who will be next year's homeroom teachers.
I know this is a surprise for all of you.
Then, do I get to renew my contract too?
Two teachers signed up to go on maternity leave next year.
We will need two more homeroom teachers.
Who should I make a homeroom teacher?
Can art, music, and physical education teachers apply for the position too?
I want a break from teaching homeroom.
I will take all teachers into consideration.
- Especially, Ms. Kong. - Yes?
You passed the certification exam and came here to teach homeroom.
You can't always be a music teacher.
Can we teach the class as a team?
I want to teach the hip-hop class with Ms. Kong.
What's the matter, Producer Kong?
Do you want to be a homeroom teacher and have a ton of work?
Really? Hip-hop is Ms. Kong?
I like that. I approve.
I'm here, yo!
How many points did I say you would lose when you do hip-hop?
Seul Gi, you lost 15 points.
Come here. I am going to cut your hair. Three centimeters below the ears.
Mom.
How much longer do I have to do everything you tell me to do?
That's right. How much longer do we have to live like this?
Ah, it's a great day to do hip-hop.
Hi, long time no see.
Isn't our English conversation class a waste of our time?
It's more lame than the nursery class.
The language class she took in the Philippines is all she has.
All she has.
Oh my gosh.
So, she doesn't even understand what we are saying.
- Come on. - Let's go.
You kids... Come on!
Ms. Kim, they are young kids.
When I become a certified teacher...
Ms. Kong, we have to do a great job on this.
But hip-hop is...
Do you really want to be a homeroom teacher next year?
It's mine.
- Hold on. Hold on. - I just can't do that.
See? If we fail at teaching this hip-hop class
you will become a slave. Just like him.
And I won't get to renew my contract. I will have to go and harvest asparagus.
So let's do hip-hop, okay?
- Okay. - Hip-hop.
The most popular occupation among kids is to become a celebrity--
Just a second please.
I'm okay with my kid becoming a chef.
He could be a food store owner.
But hip-hop is...
You can't make a living if you don't become popular.
If my kid gives it a try and fails
he will just become a music teacher.
Aren't you just giving us more work to do?
If you ask me to volunteer again... I can't do it anymore.
I don't want my kid to work in the arts or music field.
Moms, please give your undivided attention.
Please look here.
Don't you guys want your kids to grow up like Dok2? (Korean rapper)
Aren't you giving them false hopes
and setting them up for failure?
Look at Ms. Kong.
She is a lame music teacher.
Famous rappers' salaries are 100 times greater than hers.
This is a new generation.
Nowadays, famous rappers are more popular than judges and prosecutors.
Our Ms. Kong wanted to do hip-hop when she was young.
How nice would it have been
if there was an after-school teacher who could have taught her hip-hop?
She could have been busy doing world tours
and collecting frequent-flyer miles.
We have decided to give private lessons.
We will only teach the ones who have the potential.
What should we do now?
We have to see if our kids have the potential to become rappers.
Let's see if they have the potential or not.
- Do you want them to end up like me? - You can't do that.
Or let them earn five billion won a year!
The decision is yours.
Thank you.
- Ms. Kong. - Oh my.
Mr. Lee.
- Are you going home? - Why are you so tired?
I will help you.
- Help me with what? - The hip-hop class.
You said you were teaching traditional Korean poetry.
Traditional Korean poetry is like the hip-hop of Korea.
I think my class is going to overlap with yours too much.
That's okay. I can do it with Ms. Kim.
- No. - No, I'm okay.
- No way. - I'm really okay--
I want to help you. I want to help with your hip-hop class, yo, yo.
- Let's teach hip-hop together-- - Okay.
Okay. Thank you for your help.
- You promise? - Okay.
I'm not a homeroom teacher. Don't get involved.
Hurry up.
Okay, I'm coming.
- I will carry it. - No, I will carry it.
[Hip-hop Audition]
- Ms. Kong is teaching this class? - I don't think she can teach this.
Don't you guys think our moms are going to tell us not to take this class?
Stop it. Yae Jin doesn't like that.
Ms. Kim.
What's up?
If we take the hip-hop class, can we really learn how to rap?
Rapping isn't the only thing you will be learning. Show your passion for hip-hop.
My mom told me not to take this class.
What moms say is not always right.
Let me have it. I will sign it instead of your mom.
Oh my. What if our moms find out about this?
That's right. You are a teacher. You can't do this.
We should go tell our moms.
- Let's go tell them. - Let's go tell them.
You rascals.
You guys will be doing great things. Be more brave!
[Oh Se Dol's Go Class.]
Go. Do not give up. Do not get discouraged.
You guys can do well. To play "Go"
you first have to take the stones out.
I'm Culinary Artist "Pick Mama."
If you put some carrots and Spam in this fried rice
- how delicious would that be? - How delicious would that be?
Overcome all your obstacles
and you guys can win.
You guys can win. Let's go.
The class will be held at the Han River.
[How to win the Booker Prize.]
[Elementary School Kids Drop the Beat After School.]
[Show me what you've got.] [Hip-hop is easy.]
[Application for After School Hip-Hop Class]
[Because they said they will give us snacks.]
[To become a world famous hip-hop warrior.]
[Drop the Beat Grading Rubric.]
- Are you guys ready? - Yes!
Show them, Ms. Kong.
Welcome, kids.
This is a competition!
Wow, they are doing better than I thought.
I'm going to make a superstar on this stage.
I'm going to sign a contract
with my superstar and leave the school.
As long as the kids are happy I'm happy.
I don't have high expectations for this audition.
They are all elementary level kids.
This chair is very comfortable.
Where did you get these, Ms. Kim?
From Hee Bong.
The vice principal?
Is it okay to do this?
Hee Bong has some good chairs.
Stop chitchatting. Shall we begin?
Ms. Kong, are you really going to cut some of them?
Of course, we are going to cut some. We have too many kids already.
How can we do that to our angelic kids?
I'm only going to say nice things to the kids.
Okay. Go ahead.
Shall we let the kids in?
Participant Number One, please come in.
Before I know--
Oh Yoo Min?
You can stop there. That's enough.
You are disqualified.
What do you mean she's disqualified?
How can you decide that by yourself?
I want someone who I desperately want to teach.
Since I haven't passed the board exam yet, I can't be sure about this
but I think she has soul.
- She touched my heart too. - Next.
The link between you and I. This is the sound inside of us.
I can't find one.
I’ve always walked my way.
That's a good question, Father. We have the answer already.
I have no one to hate.
Have you guys had private lessons?
They all look different, so their rhymes should be different, too.
They are all like the rappers we've seen on TV.
I can't understand what you are saying.
Lyrics are the foundation in rapping.
Are you a baby? Why are you mumbling?
Are you eating something? Say ah. Open your mouth.
If you have something to eat, please give it to us.
I'm not kidding. Say ah.
You are not eating anything. What is wrong with your rap?
Hey, hey.
I am just going to go to the cooking class and enjoy food.
I just need one standout kid, and then we can start our own training agency.
- They are just kids, right? - No, this is only the beginning.
Let's remain positive.
Hello, I'm Kim Sung Hoon, from Homeroom 5-3.
What's your nickname?
I'm Grownup Baby.
- What's your dream? - I don't have one.
- You don't have a dream? - No, I don't have a dream.
I don't want to just take private lessons.
I personally have high expectations for him.
Give me the beat.
I'm only a fifth grader, 12 years old.
But my day ends at 12 o'clock every day. I'm exhausted.
Right after school, I take private lessons.
And after private lessons are over I go straight home.
I'm exhausted, and the only things that greet me are my dog
and my homework.
Bag full of homework. Bag full of stuff from my private lesson.
I'm upset at everyone who made me stay glued to my desk.
Last night, I dozed off, and I opened my eyes.
My alarm went off. Oh my gosh, mother.
The sun came out already, and I couldn't do my homework.
I didn't even have an excuse, and I was scolded all day.
Even a short break is a luxury for me.
My mom and my teachers are Patzzi, the one who makes me tired.
I need my own time and a break.
Every day, I'm scared. A marathon without hope.
Sung Hoon did a good job telling us about his weaknesses.
He was being very honest.
Even though you don't have rap skills, your lyrics are down to earth.
You didn't try to show off.
You know what rhyme is.
You are not trying to learn how to rhyme.
It seems like you know what rhymes taste like.
Remember what I said. You are going to the next round.
Tell him he is going to the next round. Why overcomplicate it?
It's unanimous, Sung Hoon. Take your towel please.
- Yes! - You did great.
Next? Please come on up to the stage.
I really like him a lot.
He and I have the same soul.
I don't know how to love. I'm a fool for love.
Is that my fault?
Adults say when you fall in love, you fall in a trap. It holds you back.
Sometimes I just wish I never learned what love is.
Girls always beat me up.
I'm the one being beaten up. Why are they upset?
I didn't do anything, but they say it's my fault. What can I say?
I'll never know what they're thinking. They are not attractive.
They are yelling at me, and it's noisy.
I feel bitter, so I drank a little too much chocolate milk.
I don't want to argue with the girls.
Understanding them is harder than doing homework.
But I don't want to be single forever.
I don't want to be single forever like Mr. Lee.
I'm not going to get married. I don't want to love someone to get married.
I'm going to enjoy my life. I'm Ji Suk.
We asked them to sing, and they are teasing us...
I like it. I think we need these kinds of songs too.
A song that tickles us in all the right spots.
Our Ji Suk knows Mr. Lee very well.
Cynically criticizing and questioning our society
is one of the things hip-hop should do.
Respect.
Even though I have never lived like Mr. Lee
it was a great song.
Respect.
Show me the money!
I'm not trying to show off. I'm just good at everything.
Singing and dancing? I'm good at both.
If I had to pick one?
Both.
Hello, today--
Yae Jin is just so pretty. I can't leave her alone.
Yae Jin is very popular.
But she says she doesn't like me.
I'm leaning on you, and you say hello.
Hi.
You don't answer me at all.
You are so handsome and popular.
You are always so cold to me.
But I remember.
You said you liked me.
Under the pretty streetlamp.
You said you liked me.
Even though you pretended like you didn't like me.
You have to know that. You said you liked me.
Remind me, just say yes, yes, yes.
I'm your girlfriend, and you are my boyfriend.
Just tell me you like me.
Wow.
It's hard to take your eyes off of her.
You are the world's best 12-year-old participant.
You have to eat a lot today.
He is our last participant of the day.
Please come up on stage.
Hwan Hee?
He is a loner.
You have to be fair. He is disqualified if he doesn't go up, right?
Why did I dance and sing on stage?
You have to disqualify him.
Ms. Kong. What are you doing? Let's clean up and go grab a drink.
What are you doing?
We are going to eat squid tang-tang with Mr. Lee.
He said he would be there.
Mind your own business.
I'm not a homeroom teacher. Don't get involved.
Think about what you guys did wrong today.
Okay? You rascals.
You are the last participant of the day.
You didn't come on time. You will lose some points, okay?
Just disqualify me then.
I will decide.
- Please introduce yourself. - Don't you know me already?
Let's skip that and start.
Okay.
I cried in a supply room no bigger than my hand.
I cried but no one got me out of there.
Hey, louder. I can't hear you.
I cried in a cramped cleaning supply room.
I cried but no one got me out of there.
My house is like a little matchbox.
It's the only inheritance I have in this building-packed city.
It's in the shanty town. You call that an inheritance?
The kids ask "How big is your house?" And I hate them.
I have to take care of my grandmother. I don't have time to think about that.
Surviving the day, just like a mayfly.
Teacher, don't look at me like that.
You are the worst. You don't care about me.
I know you guys just want to stay out of trouble
until the day you leave here.
Be quiet. It must be tiring to care about a kid like me.
You pretend you care and write things about me.
But you can't write anything. Don't try to lecture me.
I just needed a way to let my anger out. And this is it.
You are going to join our hip-hop class, right?
[Jung Hwan Hee a.k.a Justice]
We will see.
Don't miss the class.
We picked 10 students. But why...
I'm in the cooking class, but I came here to play.
You should go easy on them.
You told them, "It's a competition."
- Ms. Kim. - The kids said they don't want to do it.
This is actually what I wanted.
Black Eyed Peas have three guys and one lady.
This is perfect.
Shall we start our first class? Our first field trip?
- Let's pump it up. - Pump it up.
Can I play another game?
- Do you have 500 won? - Wait just a second.
- Hey, hey. - I don't have it.
Hey, hey. Since Hwan Hee is good at rapping, he must have good rhythm too.
- Do you want to try it first? - Why don't you try it first?
She's good.
Eat. I don't usually pay for lunches.
I will tell her.
Is that okay?
Why are you here? You are not in this class.
I'm just going to eat tteokbokki and leave.
Let's eat.
Ms. Kong. We gave it some thought.
But, we still think this is not right.
What do you mean?
You said it's a competition. So why is he here?
Why not? I like having him here.
Hwan Hee is handsome.
Did we sing and dance for nothing?
- Guys? - Yes, please continue.
Life doesn't always turn out the way you guys planned.
There will be times when you get lost
and there will also be times when something is standing in your way.
When that happens...
You sometimes need a "free pass."
And you guys have that free pass as well.
Okay?
It's my fault that I went back on my word. Enjoy tteokbokki. Forget about it.
Ms. Kong, could you order some Sprite?
No, your teeth will decay.
Attention, please.
This is the moment you guys have been waiting for.
It's an open class day. Parents will be visiting classes.
Welcome, kids.
School Commissioner will be here.
I was very impressed by Ms. Kong's teaching skills
so I tried to imitate her.
When School Commissioner comes here
we have decided we'll show him our after-school classes.
We are teaching those classes to let students have some fun.
Is there a need to show him those classes in session?
There is no need to do something extra special because of him.
I don't expect anything from you guys.
The only thing I expect from you guys is a good rating.
Just know that your future depends on this open class.
Don't be nervous. Have fun. Relax. Please relax.
I can see the future of the hip-hop class.
[Ms. Kong Seul Gi, Hip-Hop Class] Hip-hop is derived from freedom.
Go out to the Han River and feel the wind, feel the freedom.
Why do I even need this?
I still have this here.
Please don't surprise me.
Your eyes, nose, lip.
Even your small scar makes my heart pound.
Our dark night.
The city is our singing stage.
Why do we even need accompaniment? We can just talk everything away.
There are a few dishes I want to make for you.
I'm not a chef, but just tell me--
If you teach them like that... Do you think it will work?
Hey, what is this?
Wow. You've become so nice since you've became an elementary school teacher.
Be more fierce. Like when you first sang that song.
You are a fool.
You have a steady income
but your life is in the gutter.
Your thoughts are all mixed up like a bibimbap.
Your life is way too boring.
You need to think about yourself.
Oh my. The security guard...
I told him I would be working tonight. He turned the lights off again.
- Mr. Lee? - Ms. Kong, are you okay?
- What's the matter? - I just saved you from certain trouble!
Let's get out of here now.
Did something happen?
Don't be surprised.
There is a ghost in our school.
- Oh, really? - I'm not kidding.
The security guard didn't turn off the lights.
I asked him already.
Then, who did?
What was that?
Ms. Kong, let's go together.
Ms. Kong, in the movies
the curious one dies first.
I'm going to protect you no matter what.
Mr. Lee.
Oh my goodness.
Please be quiet.
You told me to be quiet. So, I sent you a text instead.
I passed out at school once.
There is a ghost.
Okay, okay.
I will share the link.
"From the Witnesses of the Ghost at the Chung Dan Elementary School."
What is that?
Ms. Kong, I'm going to protect you until the end.
But I have respiratory problems. Just trust me...
Ms. Kim!
Hey! Mr. Lee?
Ms. Kim.
Do you... not have a place to stay?
What? Seriously?
Me? Stay here?
Well. It looks like you slept here.
What are you talking about? No, no.
I was getting ready for the next class.
Mr. Lee, are you awake?
Do you have any food at your house?
Ms. Kong.
Are you asleep, Ms. Kim?
I'm seeing things. I should go see a doctor...
How did she fall asleep so fast?
Should I not have let her into the house?
Who could it be at this hour?
Goodnight, Ms. Kong.
Are you guys all asleep? Chung Dan Elementary School teachers.
Geez. I'm just going to ignore him.
Oh, no. I'm not sleeping.
I'm preparing for my after-school class.
The golf class is getting ready for the next class too.
Liars.
Mr. Jo. You always work so hard for our school.
You are fabulous.
Who is this person? Who is not responding?
Is it Ms. Kong or Ms. Kim?
Anyway. Hip-hop class. I'm watching you guys.
Ms. Kim.
[Kim Yu Bin left the chat.] [Re-invite into the chat.]
She is scary. Scary.
[Hip-Hop Class Training Plan]
Ji Suk, when you get home, brush your teeth and go to bed.
It's okay to skip brushing for one night.
Relax.
You can't talk like that to Dad.
- Don't talk like that again, okay? - Okay.
Hip-hop.
Grandmother, I'm going to take the hip-hop class.
What is hip-hop?
Is it a type of food?
No.
Ms. Kong says I'm good.
