(Episode 10: Recording their single)
Everyone's ready? Did you practice a lot, Jin-kyeong?
Practice? Yeah, I did.
I remember your crying when we were recording in season 1.
(Bringing back memory)
Who will cry today?
Hello!
(Unlike the members, Coach Won-jong comes in a bright face)
You look bright like a shining moon today!
You had a haircut. (Watch your mouth, Jin-young)
We're recording today.
But someone had to see a doctor? How is everyone?
A few of us had to see a doctor.
(Ye-won saw a doctor due to a cold that got worse)
- Can I still record? - You're at your worst condition now.
It'd be better if you can push back the recording date.
But we'll try our best to help you sing as much as possible.
(Ye-won gets shots so she can record)
(Somi sees a doctor too)
It's swollen around your vocal cords.
You probably feel itchy when you talk or sing.
(The baby sister also gets a shot)
But I want to try it.
We do need to record today.
Before we record, let's warm up so we're not nervous.
We'll warm up our throats.
I heard you trained
Ock Joo-hyun,
Gummy,
and other really great singers, is that right?
Yes.
I heard you also did vocal directing for Lee Hyori yesterday?
Yes, we did it here.
I hope you can receive good energy here.
In a way, Hyori and we are competing rivals.
How did Hyori do?
How did she do her warm up?
It was the fastest I've ever had someone record.
She was done in an hour.
Will we be able to finish that quickly?
I hope so, please.
Then I won't ask too much from you.
Help us to sound as good as Hyori did.
How does she warm up?
Let's try it, just like how she did it.
(Recording director of Lee Hyori and UNNIES, Han Won-jong)
This is the worst!
Again, again, again!
Great!
It was a brand new world for me.
I thought he was amazing in bringing out our emotions.
(His own method of vocal directing starts now!)
Many people sing as they breathe in.
(Most people sing while taking a breath in.)
But when singing a ballad, you sing as you breathe out.
How sweet!
(Relax your body and breathing as you breathe out)
The high notes start from here. What kind of emotion should you have?
Something intense?
Yes, things like anger and hatred.
Let's try singing with emotion.
(Bringing up the anger inside me)
(Expressing the intense feelings)
Look at Jin-kyeong.
(Definitely an actress)
How did Hyori warm up?
(Not like that...)
(Great ability to express intense emotions)
(A masterpiece made by Hyeong-seok and Eana)
("Right?" by UNNIES)
(They've been going through special training to sing this song)
(Finally recording "Right?" with their own voices!)
(Recording studio next to the practice room)
Hello, Coach Hyeong-seok!
(The composer and vocal coaches all gather)
Did you have a good dream last night?
I had a great dream, it'll be a hit!
But it was a little dirty.
Oh, you dreamed about poop?
That type of a dream brings a great fortune!
And Coach Jin-young, you've gotten so popular!
(Coach Serious does his dance from 15 years ago)
(Explosive responses online!)
- Even more popular after that dance! - I thank you, Sook.
Everyone's been telling me to upload a picture I took with him.
A certain actress called me.
"I'm his fan now!"
(Oh... He's got more fans...)
(The members didn't know that he's getting married soon)
Everyone started to like him after I said he was awesome.
People just said he was too serious before.
Are you mad?
Yes.
It's a very complicated feeling that I'm having.
I won't think about Chang Jin-young anymore.
I've left him.
(Sigh, that's my sister...)
His fan club became active again.
His fans are returning!
(Congratulations! But a little sad...)
How about forming your group once again?
(We'll invite them as guests to UNNIES)
I heard "Black Beat" was the most-searched word on the Internet.
He captured it and put it on his social media site.
I sent it to the members of the group, too.
Was Black Beat ever a most searched word while you guys were active?
They didn't have the Internet like how we do today.
(A land-line era idol-group, Black Beat)
Are you worried about anyone in particular?
I'm worried about...
Ye-won, first.
I think she got much better though.
I'm worried, too.
And the ending part of verse one, that needs to feel confident...
Chae-young's part.
I'm a bit worried, that part needs to be very strong.
She said she's more interested in dancing than in singing.
Tell him what you said!
How can I say that when he's right here?
I didn't say it like that. I said it was more difficult.
(That's our Chae-young!)
With dancing, it's easier to see the improvement.
But singing gets more difficult, that's how I said it.
I'm sorry! My apologies.
I'm determined to do a great job today.
Let's make a hit song!
(Won-jong encourages all)
How long do you think it'll take us to record?
I'm a skeptic by nature.
My job is to criticize throughout the process.
(Criticize?)
I have to constantly find ways to improve.
We'll probably record all night.
(A shocking news)
Really?
Shall we get started then?
Somi, let's go! Drink some water first.
You'll do great, Somi!
Wow, we can see inside!
(Will they really stay up all night and record here?)
Somi, can you hear me?
Yes.
Let's try it.
(Somi is suffering from nasal and throat inflammation)
(Will she do a good job?)
(This part)
(Coach Serious is also focused)
Is that her singing?
Wow, her voice sounds great!
(She even did Sook's part)
OK, good!
Let's try singing it shorter.
(She takes notes)
(Somi is in her serious mode during recording)
Sing a little bit more this part.
Then the rest, you can sing as it follows from there.
I don't understand what he means...
(Good, good!)
(Good!)
(She'll get a pass right away!)
Compared to a fruit...
You feel like an orange. I want it to feel like a walnut.
Small but hard.
That sounds difficult. Hard like a walnut?
Wow, that was good! The tone's changed in a good way.
Didn't it sound the same?
(Chaos and confusion here)
Is it different?
(They're the only ones who cannot tell the difference)
What about walnuts earlier? Eat them?
(I don't think that was it...)
(Somi understands the direction and continues to improve)
You know what's up. Let's take a listen.
That felt very good.
(Lots of compliments)
He's really detailed!
He picks out every detail, one by one, in terms of music.
(Coach Detail, Won-jong!)
That was good!
Maybe adding a little more excitement? Like a flutter?
(She's naturally excited and fun but)
(Somi feels a bit down today)
(Let's focus, Somi!)
Ah, let me try it again.
That was good, but we'll do it again.
My throat condition is not at its best right now.
I sound worried as I sing.
You need to be in a good mood yourself.
(In a different stance this time)
How does that feel?
- I don't think it's good. - Not good?
(Is she OK?)
Is your condition really bad?
I feel very worried.
I think that's why.
Let's not worry then.
(At this time!)
(Sook quickly leaves somewhere)
(Does Sook have a great idea?)
Somi's not feeling too good, right? Coach?
Can we give her some vitamins?
Right now? Good!
(Somi's having a breakdown)
Somi will smile big for sure!
(What is their secret weapon?)
(Coach Serious to boost Somi's energy like vitamin?)
She smiles!
(Success?)
Somi will sound much brighter now.
(It's making me nervous too)
Your tone sounds good, everything's good.
Being a little more "up" will be good.
He's being serious again, let's drag him out.
Making things even more serious!
Sook sent you, huh.
No, I came on my own.
I think Sook sent you here.
OK.
Fight on!
(Serious encouragement, and serious exit)
Somi?
Do you want me to dance for you?
(Breaks out in laughter)
(A boost of joy for others too)
Fight on!
(Somi and Coach Serious together)
(Excited!)
- Find your energy, Somi! - OK.
(Coach Serious gets rid of Somi's worries)
Wow, he really put in a lot of effort!
What a lovely couple!
You're an angel! Just without the wings!
You're so awesome!
You're the best!
We'll get it right away! Let's do it!
(She's still in a dance performance)
Somi, let's go for it!
(Too much vitamin)
That doesn't work.
(She's about to make 100 different versions of the song)
- You gotta follow the melody at least. - Got it.
(For real this time)
(Totally different this time!)
Let's do that one more time!
(Much better than the earlier version)
OK, we'll use this one!
(Finished recording right away!)
We got a lot of great takes.
- Good job! - Thank you!
Coach Chang Jin-young, thank you!
Somi, great job!
(The baby sister did a great job being the first one to record)
(So proud of her)
Who's next?
Is it me?
Yes, Sook is next.
Fight on!
If I have a hard time, you need to come.
(Embarrassed)
Why's it so dark here?
It's been a while!
(Meeting the recording studio headphones again in a year)
(The Famous Kim Sook!)
(But her part in season 1 was...)
(Wouldn't show up during the one-minute preview)
(She comes in at 1:22 mark)
I can only do the one-minute preview from the site.
My dream is to sing a part in the first verse.
(I can't miss out on this opportunity!)
OK, Kim Sook!
Wow, you scared me! My ears!
You scared me!
- You can hear me? - Yes.
- Let's try it. - OK.
(Somi's part)
(Sook's part)
(Smirk)
OK! Again!
(It's a good start!)
Sook? We have to be able to hear you breathe.
Breathing is emotions, what kind of emotion should it be?
- Not salt. - What?
Not salt.
(What does he mean? We're making salt?)
(Put more salt in?)
Breathing is emotions, what kind of emotion should it be?
But not salt.
(I just don't get it...)
What kind of an emotion?
- This one? - Yes.
Like boastful?
Yes, boastful and feeling confident.
(Confident salt?)
(Sook also takes notes)
It's better than the last take.
But we need "half-breath, half-voice."
It's too much voice right now.
Half-air, half-voice? Like this?
(She's too excited, who sat her next to Coach Serious?)
Don't make it sound so artificial.
But a little more emotional tone of voice!
(Taking more notes)
This one sounds like she'll never listen to anyone!
Me?
No no, what you just recorded.
(Sook, don't feel guilty)
I've heard that many times before.
(You'll do great, Sook!)
Take a listen, that's what it sounds like.
It's too rigid.
(This is what he means)
Do you understand what I mean? Like a kid who really doesn't listen!
So Sook needs to be a nicer kid!
Being a nice kid is OK, but maybe a little bit of bad inside.
But this one was too much.
(Inside of the nice kid is a bad kid?)
(Which one was the bad one? Am I good or bad?)
So a good kid with a bad kid feeling.
With more breathing, half-breath, half-voice!
(Everyone leaves to practice)
With less force.
Less force?
You're trying too hard.
Just do it softly, the microphone will pick up.
- That's right! - Just like that!
Think of it as just throwing your voice on a shelf.
(Her lyrics sheet is turning black)
So with less force, right?
(That's OK)
(More womanly voice with less force)
Good! Something starts to creep up behind your voice now.
(What Coach Won-jong liked)
It's a lot different, right? It's much better.
- Let's try it again. - With less force.
(Turning into a singing bird from a bad kid)
You're doing good!
She gets it now.
Let's take a listen.
(Satisfactory)
It doesn't sound like my voice!
I really like it.
100% OK! Great job.
(Sook finishes recording)
(Dazed)
Who's next?
I'm next.
Chae-young, it's your turn!
You can do it!
You're... You're... A bulldozer!
(Here comes the queen of destruction)
(She only knew how to sing children's songs)
(But her part is the song's ending and its highlight!)
I think Chae-young would be great.
(Due to Director Won-jong's recommendation)
(She takes the part everyone wanted)
(For the past few weeks)
(Chae-young's been practicing everyday)
(It's time to show the result!)
(Trying her best not to be nervous)
(She tries in a soft voice)
(Feeling awkward in the recording booth)
Let's practice a few times.
Be confident!
(Just as I've been practicing!)
I don't think you should be that comfortable.
Your stance is a bit...
(Oops)
You have to really go for it.
It shouldn't be so easy, you have to give it your best!
I'm already nervous.
I moved my legs at that moment.
(Atten-hut stance)
I get to put more force into my stomach when I stand like this.
So it's a habit to stand that way.
I think he misunderstood me a little.
Again!
(Not starting off well)
Your voice breaking actually feels good, I like that emotion.
You're coming off too pretty, like "I can't do it."
If a female dancer attempts to do a sexy dance without feeling like she's
actually sexy, there's no point.
That'd be the worst.
Got it.
We can't put out a record like this.
Again!
(He's scary...)
(She tries again more focused this time)
I was the one who really pushed for you to take this part.
There's only one reason for it.
Two cameras will be zooming in on you at this part.
But the end part is just so terrible.
Again!
I think this will take a while.
(The members are practicing their dance at that moment)
I think that was a bit too much!
I really want to do this part well.
I want to shake it in a bigger circle.
The original move was about here.
But if I spread my legs...
(Going for that 4-D experience)
And you dance with your face!
(Let's see it)
(Her face shows determination)
(You look scary!)
(Jin-kyeong and Minzy return)
How's she doing?
I feel really bad for her.
Why? Is he getting mad?
No, he's not mad.
But her voice kept cracking and stuff.
(What should we do?)
Chae-young is trying her best.
But she's feeling timid since its' her first time recording.
It'd be helpful if we can cheer her up.
(Should we go see?)
Don't go, they're not looking good.
(Dark energy surrounds them)
Very serious...
Yeah, they look really serious.
(Shaking his head)
He's shaking his head.
It's a very dark mood in there.
Let me just grab them water.
What if they throw the water bottles at you?
I want to at least try to make them feel better, it'll help Chae-young.
(They're worried for Chae-young who's recording alone)
(Repeating the same part for dozens of times)
She's getting better.
(Take a water break)
Please take care of Chae-young!
(She smiles as she hears Jin-kyeong from her headphones)
Oh, and by chance...
If it's OK for us to ask you a question...
If Chae-young doesn't have to scream out her part with full force,
how about doing it like this?
How about it?
We're gonna try that but she just has no confidence to begin with.
Go and teach her some of your skills.
She needs to have confidence regardless of performance.
Hey there, Chae-young.
Have more confidence.
No one's here watching, it's just you in here.
Believe in yourself.
(That's all the English I know, let's end with a peck)
(Sister Giraffe also visits Chae-young)
I know very well that I'm in no position to teach someone how to sing.
But maybe think of it as acting, rather than screaming out.
Just about that level.
It may hurt your throat if you scream like that.
Come off a little sexy, you know?
- It may fit you better that way. - Probably more comfortable too.
(Will their advices help Chae-Young? Or harm her?)
- We'll try it. - Let's listen for a bit.
Please be quiet in the back.
(How will she do it?)
(Less force, like acting...)
(Hoping for a pass)
This feels too erotic I think.
We'll try it again. This isn't gonna work.
Jin-young!
(That's odd, it works well when you make appearances at events)
(Feeling lost)
(Searching for that perfect feel)
(Going on the journey of suffering)
Maybe a little less like a children's song.
Again!
Once again!
You're lacking just a little bit.
(Is she OK?)
(Jin-young visits again to cheer her up)
Drink water, to protect your throat.
Sing once, then drink once. Sing another take, then drink another gulp.
Chae-young!
I understand that I'm in no position to tell you this or that.
But you should drink a lot of water.
Take another gulp.
(I'm getting full...)
(Like feeding a baby)
You'll do great!
You guys are watching me?
Yeah, we are.
I feel more pressured. Can you not watch?
(A short-lasted joy)
(Ultimately, she has to do it herself)
(I better wake up)
(Successful at bending the notes!)
That was great, Chae-young!
(Her first compliment!)
(Forgets all about being down earlier)
Let's try another take with a cute feel.
Cute? What's that like?
(She gives it a try)
You're too fast.
(I knew it!)
It sounds like you want to finish this quickly.
You get fast there.
(Was I fast?)
Can I make a suggestion, Chae-young?
You're too concerned about all these different things like
sound, projection, and pitch.
And you're losing a sense of rhythm.
Maybe you can get some help from Jin-young or others
about rhythm for a second.
Let's try recording again later.
I think it'll take a very long time.
(Chae-young's recording is put on hold)
I wasn't scared about physically having a hard time from repeating it
a hundred times,
but I was worried that even if I tried it a hundred times, I won't get it right.
(Is it my turn then?)
(Dance)
(Singing)
(Capturing the audience on every performance!)
(The famous Leader Gong of UNNIES)
(Team's Ace vs. The Critic)
Let's give it a go!
(Minzy's part has consecutive high notes)
(Her part is the last section of Part A)
(Grooving to the beat)
(As she sings her first verse!)
(Smile)
(Of course)
(We can trust our Leader Gong)
Minzy sings great!
Thank you.
Let's go to the second part.
(This part)
She's really good.
It seems like you're in a great condition today.
Let's trying singing the song all the way to the end.
OK!
Let's start from the second verse then.
Oh, we'll do it from verse two!
(Minzy's part in verse two)
(With her characteristic groovy voice)
I was hoping for something a little more like a "Gothic font," like rigid.
Try it with that feel.
Being that groovy might make the song sound boring.
(Gothic, Gothic)
(She fixes it on the first try)
I want to have you try more stuff but there's nothing more to do.
Let's go onto the chorus part.
(Minzy's part during chorus)
(She needs to sing the high notes in a stable way)
Let's change it this way.
Like this?
I think it'll fit you better.
(Consider it done)
It's much better!
(All in agreement)
This sounds much better.
She understands so quickly.
Let's try a few different things, you're capable.
(With their compliments)
(She burns it up until the end)
You're so good!
Minzy's really good.
(Nothing more to say to her ability)
I was in fourth grade.
I went on some sort of a dance competition,
YG saw a video from that competition and called me.
I didn't believe them at first.
I hadn't considered myself much of a singer.
Then they told me to practice singing before coming.
I practiced a song called "Day by Day" for a week straight.
CEO of YG came to see me personally.
He said he liked my smoky voice, that I had great potential.
And I was picked up then.
(She shined bright even as an unpolished gemstone)
(A performer born with talent)
(Minzy's vocal continued to get better as she added effort on top of her talent)
I like it.
I really like it.
It's so good.
It's good. Anything you feel like it's lacking?
I think this one's good too.
(End of recording)
Great job!
I think she can do a lot as a solo artist too.
(But Chae-young is going through hell during rhythm training)
(Repeating the same part endlessly)
What feeling do you want to give off? Sexy?
I was told to go with cute.
Then let's try that.
You can do cute. Just think, "I'm the cutest girl!"
I tried cute in my mind, but they didn't like it.
(At least this cute!)
That's not bad.
You have to go overboard during practice
so you can hit the target when you record.
Try doing it super cute.
Just like acting, you have to let go of yourself when you sing.
Try it!
That's it! Try it again.
Hey, I tried following your advice earlier and you got me in trouble!
(0% accuracy in her record)
What if he's like, "What are you trying to do here?)
You got much better than earlier though, right Coach?
(She listens to Jin-young again)
So much better! This is it!
Much better than earlier, right?
It sounds a bit like whining though.
(What's that?)
Maybe add a little more "lovely."
You gotta try this first.
I'm Han Chae-young! (In baby voice)
Try it! You can do it.
This is it!
I don't know if I can do it, it's so embarrassing!
I was really embarrassed when I had to dance.
(Solemn)
After doing that...
(With that same feel)
It's not working, huh.
I'm not gonna work out, right?
What do you think? Camera director?
I think it'll work.
It will work? So you're saying I'm not there yet.
(But it seems like she's enjoying it now)
Yes, that's it!
(While they're out to get some air)
(Making progress)
(Take this!)
(She obliges to an encore request)
(I've taught you all that I can)
(Will this method work?)
Who's left?
A huge mountain to go over.
Me?
(The next person to record is...)
Opening the door to hell...
(Inside the recording booth is like hell to her)
(Her never-ending nightmare)
(She'd get devastated at the producer's sigh)
What's wrong with me?
I really wanted to cry.
(That day has returned)
I thought about running away but there was no place to go.
(She's at her worst condition and was traumatized from last recording)
I can't even get the right pitch.
(Will she be able to overcome?)
Jin-kyeong just went in to record.
We're missing a person. Coach, can you fill the spot?
(Let's dance, Coach Serious!)
No!
I need to go to the bathroom.
Why are you running away?
Jin-kyeong's at the way front, you just have to stand in the middle.
(I came here to teach you how to sing...)
(In the end...)
(Serious Squid)
(What?)
He's better than me!
I think he can join us as a member.
(Experienced and skilled)
(A former idol-group member returns!)
(Just like 15 years ago)
(He stands in center again)
(A life in full cycle)
(They begin their practice)
Three members do this!
Your part.
Like this.
(He catches on quickly and instinctively)
(Wow)
(Even the original members couldn't figure it out)
(Coach Serious in Jin-kyeong's place)
(He gets it in one minute)
(Seems to be enjoying it)
I was worried about the missing spot!
- I'm so glad he's here to fill that spot. - I'm relieved.
(The 8th member of UNNIES?)
(Jin-kyeong's part to record today)
There's no right answer for this part.
It just has to be exciting and confident.
(Her voice cracks)
Let's first fix how your voice keeps wanting to crack.
It keeps doing this.
(Singing more clearly)
This part feels a little too one-dimensional.
It's bright in a one-dimensional way, but it should be bright in a cool way.
(She tries at a higher tone)
(She tries a different attitude)
(She tries in various ways)
It's too big there.
This doesn't feel good either.
(This feels familiar...)
(Are all producers the same?)
Let's try it again.
(What is it that they want?)
I had a really hard time before.
Recording was just so very difficult.
(A former vocal director for JYP)
(Unending loop)
(Still not quite there)
(A nightmare revisited)
(Their dance routine changed based on their vocal parts)
Where does Jin-kyeong move to?
You go up forward.
This much?
(A very close-up shot)
(Hello?) (Lots of pressure)
(A close-up interview with a new groom, Coach Serious!)
(Somi's cute dance move)
This way, and there...
He looks good!
I should follow him!
(Somi, Sook, and Chae-young walk up at this part)
- I move aside? - Yes, to the side.
So I walk up to here? (Checking all the details)
Coach, you're getting into it!
Just wanting to do Jin-kyeong's part diligently.
- You have to teach Jin-kyeong. - Me?
Of course!
(Asking Coach Kyu-sang)
(Learning the dance last minute)
(No matter how last minute it is...)
(He just dances so well!)
How long did you train for before?
Five years.
(He spent five years in training before making his debut)
(A senior member of SM Entertainment)
- Shall we try it again? - From the beginning?
(He finds his place)
I'm so glad he's here!
(Doing many different things today)
Let's give him a round of applause!
He can experience our dance and teach our vocal parts accordingly.
Is there any coach who's more dedicated than him?
(Dance practice continues with Coach Serious, a true teacher)
You sit here.
(Confused)
(He's doing that dance?)
(It's like a circus!)
(Baffled)
There's one last part.
(Looking wild)
(Aw, Coach...)
(This 17-year-old had fallen in love while singing)
(She was happy just to hear his voice)
(Even through his powerful dance)
(Coach, you shook up my heart)
I feel like my fantasy is coming to its end slowly.
I'm not in love with him anymore.
I'm going to hide my face.
Jin-young!
(Jin-kyeong calls for the next person to record)
I'll be back!
How'd you finish so quickly?
(What happened to her?)
(The harsh critic...)
(And an angel next to him!)
(Just like the food he ate that day)
(I was hoping you'd have a warm heart)
(He explained in an easy way for Jin-kyeong to understand)
Think of yourself as a cheerleader.
(Confidence boost)
You understand what we're going for?
Yes, got it.
She followed along.
Except it was an easy part today.
The remaining part is higher in pitch, and she needs to do well.
(Our ace vocalist, Jin-young's turn)
(A veteran singer gets nervous too)
In a happy mood!
(What part is she singing?)
Let's try it!
I like it!
Let's try another take.
(I was complimented!)
(Dance naturally comes out when she's happy)
(Her voice reflects her confidence)
(A proud smile)
(She's great but...)
That trot feel is still there.
It fits her to have vibration there.
I think however you wanted to do it feels the best.
I think the feel of your first try was the best.
A little too much vibration though, let's lessen that a little.
OK, I'll try it again.
(Refreshing)
(Amazing!)
(Can't stop laughing)
- Go all the way like this! - I can just see you on stage!
Thank you!
Should we try the other part too?
(A trustworthy professional singer of 10 years in experience)
(Amazed every time)
It's completely good!
Jin-young, your groove for this is very good, short and sweet.
Let's do the harmony part first.
Oh, "Hey girls," part?
(Jin-young starts to record the part where everyone sings)
(Great!)
Being a little pitchy is good?
Like the feeling of your mother tying up your hair a little too tight
when you were little.
Oh, feeling tight, right?
- Yes, exactly. - Got it.
(Jin-young, let's tie up your hair for school!)
(Refreshing high pitch for the audience to make out)
(The singer)
(And the listeners are all happy)
(How was that?)
- Good! - Jin-young?
OK!
I'm done?
I told you I'm not worried about her.
She's just too good!
(The producer and the vocal director both agree)
(Her voice fits this song the best!)
I'd pick Hong Jin-young as the member who gave her best performance today.
It's very difficult to let go of what you're used to.
She needed to sound more pop, more clean,
she prepared a lot for it and we finished in a happy mood because of it.
(And finally, Ye-won walks into the recording booth)
(She's got lots of stuff)
(Ice bag, water, honey)
I need to watch how Ye-won does.
(Starting to record Ye-won's part)
(An opera singer who used to perform on stage)
(Someone who was scared to make any sound at all)
(And someone who just wants to sing again)
(They're all a part of her)
My vocal cords are still swollen.
I still have my fear of singing, I'm scared to sing.
But if I can go through this time and get over this mountain,
I'll become better.
(Nervous)
(Half-worried, half-in-hope)
Let's try it!
(I can do it!)
(Mostly high notes in Ye-won's part)
If you keep thinking about how you practiced,
it'll take a really long time.
You have to sing with the emotion you're feeling here in the studio.
Don't sing with any preconceived ideas.
(Working hard)
There's a bit of old habit I can see from a classically trained vocalist.
There's no bending the notes.
Bending is like this.
(Connecting the notes)
It's like pulling up the notes.
You don't do that and you're enunciating too much.
(Sing more freely!)
(It's hard)
You're getting much better.
And take your hands off the headphones.
Try singing by expressing yourself with your arms and your body.
(Makes another attempt as she feels the music in her body)
(A one-person musical)
It feels great that you're just going with your feeling!
Thank you.
Let's keep going.
It feels much more free.
She uses her body. Where's Kim Sook?
That's how you should sing.
(OK...)
(Passed through the first line)
Is it hard to do vibrato?
(Tries right away)
But not with your throat, more with your chest.
Yes!
(Working hard)
Let me try that again.
It's a little bit too much now.
It feels like a song for some campaign.
(Tries again)
I think her voice might go out.
Drink some water!
(She looks a little hurried)
(Makes Coach Jin-young worried)
It's too high in the back part.
You think you can do it?
(I'll try it)
(With all of her strength)
Hold on a second.
I think we need a plan.
Maybe another voice to guide?
Should we put in harmony?
(We should go straight here)
You're too tense when you sing.
When you think you need to sing loud, you use your back.
You know how important it is to use your back?
They teach you that in school.
Just like when we yell something on the mountain with our hands together
we breathe in then release, sing the same way.
(Tries again with her back)
How did that feel?
We can try a little more, right?
(Chugging honey like it's water)
It's cute how hard she wants to try.
(Let me do it again)
(But it's hard to conquer those high notes)
We'll try it one more time.
One more time!
(Please come out)
It sounds too traditional. We'll do it again.
(Worried)
(Makes you want to pray)
(These words about flying high never meant so much before)
You think it'll be weird if someone else sings this part?
(The director now thinks about using someone else)
I feel like she can make it though.
I think it should be one voice.
She's got a cold.
Ye-won, so first...
It's amazing that you're able to make sounds you couldn't just a moment ago.
But I don't think the quality we want can come out today.
Let's try again next time after your cold gets better.
I think we should wait until your throat gets better.
If we keep doing this, it may hurt your throat.
- OK. - Take care of your throat until then.
(Ye-won's part on hold)
Ye-won, come in here for a second.
(Coach Won-jong sits at a piano all of a sudden)
Do you have a favorite Korean song?
Only song I know is what I sang last time.
(Shall we try it?)
Try singing with more breath, then more emotions will come out.
If you sing like that, that doesn't feel emotional.
Try shaping your mouth like this.
Right now it looks like this.
(Like speaking, like acting)
(Nods)
So use your back there.
(Use your back to give depth to the sound)
(Emotion amplifies the same way)
(Shall we try it again?)
The next part...
Accentuate these sad chords.
With emotions!
(Could not have imagined this on her first day)
(But she dreamed of this moment every night)
(Ye-won sings for real)
(With more detail)
I never thought about singing a song that way in my life.
It felt like a new world to me.
You'll get better in no time.
Your fundamentals are all there.
All that's remaining is to express yourself and shape the music.
You'll get so much better.
You couldn't use your chest voice at all in the first episode.
(She couldn't make a sound just a couple of months ago)
(She never imagined singing like this)
Let's do it for real when your throat gets better next week.
I do feel afraid.
But I'll definitely try it.
But don't expect too much...
Don't edit it so people will have high hopes for me.
It should just be like, "This is her best."
(Late into the night already)
So we only record verse one today?
Yes, we need to end it now.
We can't finish in a day.
It's too much to finish in a day I think.
We wanted to beat Lee Hyori's pace and finish in two hours.
(You're lucky, Hyori)
Next time, you really have to come with the determination to finish.
I want to finish my verses! It's so much pressure.
Just practice your rhythm.
She did, wanna see?
She said sing after doing that.
But first...
(Not working)
I want to go off like Minzy!
And Somi!
And like Jin-young.
But it's not so easy.
It's much harder than I thought.
(More frustrated than they thought)
I want to record a few people over.
I want to record Kim Sook again.
(Practically on hold)
I thank you for giving your best.
Take care of your throats.
Thank you for your hard work!
(The first recording session ends)
(And the rest of the story about that day)
Immortal Songs!
A war between variety show personalities!
(Five sisters take part in that war)
(1N2D wins!)
Is that a high score?
388 is really high for the first team to get.
Oh my...
They're drawing again.
It's not us.
Jang Yun-jeong and Do Kyung-wan!
(Preparing for the next performance)
(And the sisters are more relaxed)
(More relaxed they become)
(More things are put in their mouths)
Let's order some noodles.
We're already eating so much.
I'm...
On a diet?
(I'm a fan of snack foods)
Big portions!
(Jin-young buys food for everyone)
You can loosen your belts.
(A girl-group? Or a wrestling team?)
(Not just loosening their belts)
(A mass-scale napkin appears)
You can eat gimbap while shooting the camera.
Please have some.
(Hong Jin-young the Snack Angel)
You're so generous!
(The amount left after giving some away)
(Jang Yun-jeong and Do Kyung-wan from a different show)
Wow, he's a good singer!
I know, right?
(These two MCs are betting on their vocal ability in this ballad)
Her voice is on a different level.
Both of the married couple sing so well.
(And...)
(Someone else?)
(Someone born with life-threatening handicap)
(Park Moses came on their music show and won consecutive rounds)
(A special guest from their show, "I Love Singing")
(All pause)
(Though his body may be uncomfortable)
(He touches the hearts of the people through singing)
(A hidden card from "I Love Singing")
(Different from other performances)
(In moving the hearts of the people)
(Focused)
It's very moving.
(Tearing up)
(An emotional performance no one had guessed)
(Other participants are also moved)
(I guess we're...)
(Done here....)
(The two MCs take care of him like family)
(And Moses)
(This doesn't look good for us)
(Create a warm harmony)
Why?
(Teary-eyed)
(An unexpectedly strong performance)
This one was really strong.
(How can we beat that?)
Get rid of these rice cakes.
It's no time for us to be eating these.
We shouldn't be eating and being full.
Look at this! Ridiculous!
Even if we do beat them, it wouldn't be so meaningful.
"1 Night 2 Days" look out of place.
(As if they did something wrong)
They're standing up there saying that they want to win!
It'll be so weird if we do "Shut Up" as the next performance.
And you do your "Pick Me" part on top of that!
(Who will win between "1N2D" and "I Love Singing"?)
("I Love Singing" receives 423 points)
(Amazing)
That's a very high score!
I'll be going home now.
(I'll be leaving too)
Thanks for the food!
(At least we didn't starve...)
It better not be us next.
We can't be the fourth in order.
I'm nervous that it might be us.
I'll draw for the fourth team, which will go against "I Love Singing."
(Ah... Please!)
(Not us!)
I'm not sure if they are beatable.
I just didn't want to go right after them.
It's a very uneasy place to be for the next team.
(All the MCs want to avoid this one)
How about you guys?
Not after them.
(Even the comments admit that the next team will be defeated)
(Not this one, please...)
(Don't show them!)
(We beg you, not this one...)
(What will happen?)
(He picks the ball)
But...
I think it'll be a very charming performance for this one too.
I think it's us.
This person's known for putting in a lot of effort.
Hong Jin-kyeong?
Despite putting in so much effort,
the singing doesn't get much better.
(I think he's talking about Jin-kyeong!)
(Falling all over)
(Everyone's certain but her)
(The camera steps back)
(The face of meeting Brazil in World Cup)
(This must be a dream!)
(After this performance)
(After this atmosphere)
(The fourth team, Sisters Lam Dunk)
(Why must we suffer?)
(Oh My God)
(Other teams are in a festive mood)
Everyone is congratulating each other except for UNNIES.
(Dodged the worst spot!)
You gotta say something beforehand.
What can I possibly say over there right now?
I'll just say, "Congratulations on winning 423 votes!"
(It's like a funeral here)
We're going against a strong team!
I thought I was going to throw up all the rice cakes I ate.
We're screwed.
(Jin-kyeong and Somi return for the performance)
It was such an emotional performance.
I'm going to be doing this right after that performance!
Look where my slit is, it's so not proper in this mood.
I gotta be doing this!
(Five minutes before performance)
(Arrived in the waiting area)
(The remaining members)
I want to see up close.
(It's making me nervous too!)
Let's relax and enjoy ourselves.
I'm so scared!
I'm nervous and scared!
(Can she really enjoy herself?)
It's crazy, I'm nervous again.
I feel like I'm suffering from some kind of a disease.
I'm constantly nervous.
Me too.
Somi, don't be nervous!
Somi, not you.
You're making me nervous!
You don't need to be nervous because I am.
(Not stopping for a moment before the show)
(Sook practices as she worries)
(Since their practice last night)
I'm totally off beat.
I forgot the words.
I feel like throwing up.
(She worried about the performance in pain)
I really wasn't sure of myself.
Feeling very uneasy.
I gotta start the motion first for others to follow.
There's no one to give me the cue.
I have to give them the cue.
I wanted to run away.
(One minute before going on stage)
Do we go? Go?
(Finally stepping onto the stage)
Hello!
(The remaining members nervous with her)
Hope you enjoy!
We have more guests coming, you can look forward to it!
I'm just a bait.
I'm so nervous!
She's gotta be so nervous!
You're so pretty!
Kim Sook is so pretty!
Whoever said that will be blessed.
(Now it's time)
(To open up an UNNIES performance)
(Refreshing and joyful Somi comes on first with the song)
(I'm here too!)
How cute!
(The original "Pick Me")
(Rank #1 Somi, here she comes!)
(Singing along in the back)
(Sook finally comes on)
(That's my sister!)
(She seems more relaxed during the real performance)
(Skillfully)
(Perfect timing)
(She's gone through so much for this time)
(I'll show you everything on this stage!)
(Trustworthy backing chorus)
(Relaxed and showing her their skill)
(I am Kim Sook!)
(Sook's having a great time!)
(Powerful "Pick Me," almost threatening)
(Being 26 years apart)
(Is no problem to have fun)
(Let's go, Somi!)
(Individual dance time)
(Relaxed)
(Excitement explosion)
(Doing a mime!)
(Amazing!)
(The stage changes and here comes...)
(The older ladies' favorite!)
(The queen of trot, Hong Jin-young!)
Goosebumps!
(Relaxed)
Look at her eyes!
(The dance queen Minzy!)
(A dance routine matching the lyrics)
(A creative performance made by skilled veterans)
(Smoky voice on target)
(Wow!)
(She's doing great!)
(She's already won a round at Immortal Song before)
(Jin-young new interpretation of "Shut Up")
(You can do it!)
(Full of talent, Minzy's turn)
(She's sucking me in)
("Shut Up" reborn with Minzy's R&B style)
(Fitting for a stage performance made by two great vocalists)
(Their voices fill up the hall)
(Starting off in completely different genres of hip hop and trot)
(They meet with UNNIES with a new color)
(Goosebumps)
(Spin)
(Wow!)
(The five members perform together with Jin-kyeong in the center)
(Grabbing everyone's attention)
(Charisma all over her)
(Minzy & Somi, go!)
(Performance full of swagger)
(The #1 rapper, Somi!)
(Relaxed)
(Back to their full formation)
(How exciting!)
(Jin-kyeong's solo dance in the center)
(With that Parisian feel)
(Doing her best until the end)
(To a clean finish)
(Amazing!)
(Thumbs up!)
Wow, that was awesome!
It felt much more professional than we thought!
I didn't think they'd pull off such a great performance!
They're so good!
(Moved)
It felt like each member was devouring the cameras.
It was different from the rehearsal.
I thought it was a perfect performance.
(Passionate cheer)
(Though it was put together last minute)
(It was their first performance in season 2)
(The audience goes wild for them)
Thank you!
This is your "battery," Hong Jin-young!
I am in charge of being the dance queen of UNNIES, Gong Minzy!
I want to go say hi at least.
We came all the way here!
The audience doesn't even know we're here!
We should've just crashed it in the end.
Good job!
We did great! We did it!
(The audience voting starts)
(Please...)
(Only waiting for the announcement)
(Every member gave her very best)
(Will they receive as many votes as they were cheered for?)
Show us the result!
(A head-to-head match)
(Will UNNIES create a miracle?)
(Or will it be a miracle of Moses?)
("I Love Singing" may go for the championship)
("I Love Singing" wins)
Oh man, what?
(She thought they got a higher number)
It's making me angry.
(A little disappointing, but UNNIES' challenge ends here)
We'll do our song better!
I wanted to show the actresses that we can win, but it didn't work.
Good job! You did great!
The other team did so beautifully.
(She's brighter than I thought she'd be)
I'm not mad about losing at all.
Really? Not at all?
Well...
You know what I felt after doing this?
Teamwork!
We'll think of it as a practice.
We'll do even better for our real performance.
We got a taste of being on stage.
Winning here isn't so important.
It was meaningful enough that we all got to be on stage together, performing.
I do wish that I did better.
I was very satisfied with it.
We really didn't have much time.
But Sook and Jin-kyeong did great.
I expect a lot from them for our next performance.
(The flashy stage is cleared out)
(The members gather because they still miss it)
I loved the fact that the audience really seemed to enjoy the show.
I was very thankful.
Say you're thankful too.
Yes, thank you.
Some people got up out of their seats and applauded!
They were encouraging us as soon as we came in.
I was so glad to see how happy they were.
And I wanted to make a bigger and more meaningful goal.
We're not a normal girl-group, really.
Definitely not a girl-group that's just pretty and dances and sings well.
I want us to be a girl-group that can give a positive influence.
It'd be great if we can give back what we've received.
We made some profit from season 1, too.
And we've donated it after.
We donated to a children's foundation.
(School supplies and winter clothes for low income children)
More than the joy of winning first place,
the happiness of having to help someone lasts so much longer.
What can we do then?
I'm sure we can do many things.
Yes, that's true.
We can donate the profit from selling our song like season 1.
We can make appearances too.
You want to shoot a commercial?
But companies have to ask us to be in their commercials.
If we do make event appearances, I hope we can do that while this show is on.
We don't when it's going to end.
I talked to Ye-won earlier, and I think she wants to do this show for 20 years.
(A retirement TV show)
(Talking like an old lady)
We'll go to your sixtieth birthdays.
(UNNIES' main event appearances)
So we at least agree that whatever the profit we gain, we'll use it for
something positive, right?
Even if you didn't agree, it'll be hard to say it at this setting, I know.
(It's too late for that)
Is there anyone who disagrees?
If you have enough courage, raise your hand.
(Next week)
(A war of costumes)
It doesn't feel like a cat, right?
Can we really be a girl-group looking like this?
(UNNIES' stage costumes are revealed!)
("Hooray" sung in a ddukboki restaurant)
I'm so embarrassed!
I think it's very addictive, I like it!
Can I record it and save it as a ring tone?
(But their styles in rap are completely different)
I'm sorry, but I think you two need to figure it out first.
(Not so easy learning how to rap)
(Who will take the rap part?)
