Idol Room Entertainment employees who are waiting for the guest at the audition venue
Today, we will be choosing the third member of idol999.
-We've already picked the first two members. / -We did. [First member: Kang Seung-Yoon of Winner, Second member: Baek Ji-Hun of fromis 9]
Once we pick the other 997 members,
-Yes. -Then it won't be long for debut.
The participants should swarming around us like bees by now.
Speaking of that, after our episode aired,
it created a buzz in the music industry.
And on top of that, today's participants are surprising.
they volunteered.
The number of participants is no less than three people.
-And they volunteered? / -Yes! (Not believing the fact that the participants had volunteered)
and today is a special episode
it's idol999 main vocal audition!
The very popular next generation ballad singers who are like the three emperors have assembled.
-Starting with #1... / -Yes, come in.
Oh? It was you?
[...you. Why did you come here?]
[Intoducing the first voluntary participant]
LEEHI???
Hello, I'm Lee Hi
[LEEHI soulful voice gifted from heaven]
[Debut: 2012-11-04. Kpop Star runner up.]
[Hit songs: 1234, Rose, I'm Different, Breathe, My Star, No One, etc]
[It's Real! She's really here!!!]
I mean, our Hi. [Following the concept / Arrogant attitude STARTS]
[Innocently] [Wide eyes]
-This is the first time I see her. / -Yes.
By the way, Lee Hi, it's been a while. How long has it been?
-Oh.. 3 years and a half. / -Three years and a half? -Yes.
In three years, you could be discharged from the military two times over.
How old are you then, Hi?
I'm 24 years old. ((Korean age; her actual age: 22))
Oh? You're already that age?
We saw you when you were in middle school, though. [The Hi who debuted at the sweet age of 17]
It was when i was in high school..
-And then you became an adult? -Yes.
Oh, wow. Twenty-four years old? [Unbelievable.. Lee Hi debuted 8 years ago]
-So you really volunteered to audition? -Yes.
Then it's over.
Participants #2 and #3, go home!
[Lee Hi pass! Participants #2 & #3 can go home!!]
She will immediately be the main vocal.
Let's do Lee Hi individual audition.
[Is this really it?]
But let's see participant #2 since he's already here.
Participant #2, please come in.
There's no need! Leave!
[Idol999 is very biased towards female participants]
Come back.
[What's with this person?]
[Jung Seung-hwan / Yoo Hui-yeol's jewel, a very special jewel, and a ballad cutie]
[Debut: 29/11/2016. Kpop Star 4 runner up.]
[Hit songs: "It Was You", "This Fool", "Snowman"...etc
Hello.
I can smell Yoo Hui-yeol.
[Please take care of our Seung-hwan] [President Yoo's pride]
Wherever he goes, he emanates Yoo Hui-yeol's smell.
Hey, what do you think this place is to dare come here?
-Not anybody can come here. / -Yes. [He volunteered to come here but gets treated like leftover rice]
Are you here to show your face?
I'm here to let more people about me. [The firm balladeer with a strong mentality]
My name is Jung Seung-hwan. Nice to meet you.
-Stand a little bit closer. -Yes, yes.
-Do you feel shy?/ -No, no. -We're friends.
-You're friends? / -Yes.
-We're friends of the same age. -You two?
Yes,
we know each other.
Why did you come here, voluntarily?
What kind of audition do you need? You started with an audition (program) too?
yes, I came from audition program too.
which audition program?
kpop star.
ah really, why do I only remember Lee Hi?
Hi is from season 1
I'm from season 4.
Hey, who watched season 4?
He was 2nd place for Season 4, apparently.
-I will work hard today. / -You'll work hard. / -Yes. [Unshaken strong mentality]
Then, come out, #3! No. 3!
For real, who's this guy?
[Ton-hee & Kon-hee, you idiots] [Why don't you know this person?]
Who's he?
Hello.
[Paul Kim / The heating pad of the singing world with a voice bursting with emotion]
[Debut: 21/1/2014 / Hit Songs: "Me After You", "Every Day, Every Night", "Rain"...etc.]
Who are you? [A new face Ton-hee and Kon-hee have not seen before]
-I'm singer Paul Kim. -Ah! Paul Kim?!
-Yes. -Of course I know you!
"Meeting you~" [A person who knows the song, at least / Kind response]
-That's all I know. -What do you know about my song?
If you move to be near Lee Hi, you can form a mixed team.
It will be your only activity (as a team).
This gives a better feeling [We're sorry for moving around the three Emperor balledeers]
What's your company called?
I belong to a company called Neuron Music.
-"Neuron"? -Yes.
You mean neuron cells (in Korean), right?
-Oh? You know it? -I do.
"You know it"? Wait a minute.
"You know it"? Are you looking down on us, now?
You, get out. Get out. Get out!
What? "You know it"? [Flustered]
With your "you know it", you made my whole body boil! [Super uncomfortable]
"You made me feel insulted..." (From a classic movie called A Bittersweet Life)
The company's not famous so people would ask if it meant "new run" or "neuron"...
there were a lot of confused people.
Of course we know what "neuron" means. Of course.
Then, who are the most notable artists of your company?
Me.
Who else?
-Our president used to be a rapper. -Who?
His name was Once Again.
Shouldn't we start by auditioning your president before you, first?
[We apologize to many people / Paul Kim's president who's watching TV suddenly got wounded in the heart]
We don't even know who his president is!
whose fault it is that we're doing audition at this hour?
Who is that busy today?
[for your information, right now it's 9am]
who has other schedule today?
Hi do you have schedule today?
No? Seunghwan?
I do.
-What do you have? -Practice performance. For a concert.
So we gathered at such an early hour because of this practice?
B-because of your practice performance?
Because of your practice performance, I got up at 8:30?
I don't think it's really because of me.
Then do your practice! Why come and stuff?
But I really wanted to do the audition.
I apologize!
Go to Antenna's president! [A call of alarm for Antenna's president]
[To avoid misunderstandings / Antenna president Yoo Hui-yeol and Don-hee are pretty close]
-Antenna is like a thorn in our eyes in so many ways. -I'm sorry.
Anyways, since you're already here at the auditions, we welcome you.
Let's do the introductions officially.
First of all,
you must not know who we are,
so we're going to introduce ourselves.
I am Idol Room Ent CEO
and Idol 999 leader, Honey Sexy Donhee.
Nice to meet you
I am the one in charge of compliment, Idol 999 Sweet Sugar Cony
[repeated reaction]
To explain more about this, our Strategic Project Manager.
[listening without knowing what it is]
Nice to meet you, I'm the Strategic Project Manager Idol 999 Sweet Sugar Cony.
Let me introduce Idol 999 first.
To become the biggest idol group in the world, we'll recruit 999 members
and if you add us two, it will add up to an amazing number: 1001.
[serious reaction] it's gonna be 1001
Anyways, the auditions are going to be fierce.
Let's hear what kind of resolution you have for today, starting from Lee Hi.
I'll do my best
Accepted!
Definitely accepted!
I'll do my best, yes.
What about Seung-hwan?
I'll sacrifice myself and...(muffled) (He used a phrase usually used when talking about sacrificing yourself for your country...etc.)
Why sacrifice yourself on our show?
Our show isn't that dangerous, you know.
Sacrifice yourself when it really matters. (Alluding to the real meaning mentioned)
What about Paul Kim?
As for me...I will work hard in order not to waste time (make it worth it).
A real statement. Good.
we are going to evaluate your audition
It's the info that the superfan computer has gathered.
[amazed]
First!
Lee hi. Entering as no. 1 in music chart simultaneously with the album release
-Top solo artist for real? -That's right.
And the first female solo artist to top Billboard Kpop Chart for 3 weeks
and the first female solo artist to top Melon's weekly chart for 4 weeks straight
She's also the first Korean singer whose debut song was mentioned on CNN.
CNN?
the debut song did so well, so..
1234?
yes
Because of all that, you can be the center right away.
[Idol999 center with this level of talent]
So you came out with a new album now?
Yes
After how long?
3.5 years?
It is longer than military service.
So you've been preparing before Chan-hyuk (from AKMU) entered the military?
That's right
isn't chanhyuk was like
"hayi-ah, you still haven't released a new album?"
that's right
he said something like that
he said, "hayi-ah, what are we going to do with you?"
Because things didn't go how you wanted.
Our goal is to release a song for Lee Hi monthly
Even weekly is possible
To be honest, even daily is possible
Daily release is doable. Lee Hi can do it.
Next piece of data.
Next is what the Superfan Computer has gathered.
Apparently, the computer really had a hard time looking for this.
[Laughs because he's totally aware they're talking about him]
Ah, Yoo Hui-yeol Hyungnim went overboard with this.
Seung-hwan...Jung Seung-hwan is
Antenna's...
he's saying he's Antenna's Park Bo-gum... [Source of data: Yoo Hui-yeol]
Mr. Yoo Hui-yeol did.
[quick excuse]
This kind of got distorted...I mean,
within Antenna, to make each other feel good..
I'm Antenna's Park Bo-gum
so when Hui-yeol Hyungnim calls me, "Bo-gum-ah"... [100% sincere / Our Bo-gum-ah]
I jokingly reply, "Yes?"
What about Hui-yeol Hyung, then?
Hui-yeol Sunbaenim is Antenna's Daniel Henney.
[absurd]
-Daniel Anni? (He didn't hear clearly) -Daniel Henney.
And Jung Jae-hyung Sunbaenim is Antenna's Joe Odagiri.
[absurd 222]
Call him Joe Onigiri instead. Onigiri.
It's only within Antenna, just to feel good.
Hey, you guys want to feel good but why involve normal people...
Yeah, that's why...towards Park Bo-gum Sunbaenim...
-Send him an apology video letter. -Yes, and...
[TO Mr. Park Bo-gum]
Although it's a couple of years late, I feel apologetic about using your name falsely over and over...
Thank you for bearing with it for the past 2 years.
Yoo Hui-yeol does nag. What is the most ridiculous nitpicking he did with you?
-He gave the most absurd order. -What kind?
Before the album's release...at the company, he kept...about girl group's physique...
[He ordered Seung-hwan to have the physique of a girl group?]
A physique like that of Yoo Hui-yeol Sunbaenim's...
This is...
-I mean, you're a vocalist... / -That's right. [Yoo Hui-yeol's team, who an overweight person can't relate to]
You need to have some... [Idol Room ENT does not enforce dieting]
weight on you so you're strong and have the energy to sing.
Looking at you now,
you kinda look like a nail. A nail.
You can gain some weight. I can't look at you.
Anyways, if you join us, we won't be nagging
-so you'd have freedom in everything. -You're set free.
You can do anything you want.
Plus, you guys take all the responsibility. [this one's important]
So you handle all the consequences.
-We're far from you. You're all set free. -That's really good.
The Superfan Computer also found one more thing.
Is there anything that would definitively end the game?
There's something that would definitively end the game!
It's said Paul Kim...
was contacted by V from BTS first to have a meal together!
Is this true? [Making a deliberate approach]
Is this true?
Is it?
BTS?
Get away from here.
(Can't hear what he's saying.) [Proof picture of forced closeness]
But it's not confirmed yet so you must tell us the story here.
I once received help (from V).
-How? -I went to an awards ceremony...
-and while I was on my own, everyone was in teams. -That's right.
Since I was on my own, he came over to me.
V did?
What did he say?
He came up to me and was like, "Come sit with us".
He initiated the conversation
and talked with me.
I mean, after you've exchanged numbers, was V really the one who called you first?
Yes, we did exchange numbers.
-You did and he called first, saying you should eat together? / -Yes.
-You had a meal together or not? -We did.
Oh! What kind of food?
Is the kind of food they had important right now?
I mean--I'm pretty curious as to what V had.
V bought tasty food. [On top of that, V paid for the meal]
There was steak, and pasta too.
In any case, he definitely has BTS connections
so let's keep him at the auditions.
You can say he has golden connections. [He has a BTS "buff" so he gets a strong pass]
Seung-hwan, don't you have any star celebs around you? [You're the only one in danger]
In my case...
to be honest,
not really... [I don't really have connections...]
[sad...]
The way I see it, it's your entire company is tired.
The company is completely gloomy.
-That's right. -That's how a man should be.
You're amazing.
Seung-hwan gave up now. He just went, "Yes".
Because it isn't that big a deal.
Hayi too
hayi too. You don't know this right?
[Hayi too has golden connection?]
hayi's mother owns a soy-marinated crab restaurant
accepted!!
It began when you were in high school, right?
It's been running for a long time. For 12 years
Our 999-member strong company dinner would be soysauce-marinated crabs.
We must go (there).
Hey, but that cost like 900 million won just for a company dinner.
because of Seunghwan's gig schedule, we have to do the recording quickly.
It's hayi's appearance after a long time, but we'll do this quickly
now we'll do main vocal audition for idol999
you need to show your skill through your hit songs
is that okay?
yes
start from hayi?
Sorry because of one person
we need to ask you singing in the morning
Your voice may not come out..
[God Hi hit songs compilation]
[ Debut song when she's 17 years old : 1234 ]
[The voice that everyone is waiting for]
[Listen!!] [He is listening tentatively]
[unrivaled unique voice]
[ I will only listen to Hayi]
[Even at 9am, good quality vocal chords]
[This is why she's God Hi]
[I'm Different, ft. Suhyun]
[Powerful vocal explosion]
[Hayi leads the audience until they respond]
[Good students reaction]
[Incomparable lee hi]
[she proves her overwhelming existence through her voice]
[Lee Hi you're the best]
what didn't you know? You're A!
[Even her music colleagues are amazed]
[Your voice is A]
She completely changed once she started singing.
How long she must have waited. It's been 3 years, after all!
[Meanwhile / The ill-treated clot who'd been quietly preparing]
But this is how I truly feel... [Spots Seung-hwan]
I don't want anything to break this atmophere,
so how about we stop listening to the singing auditions?
This feels cold. [The strong mentality finally breaks]
First of all, Seung-hwan, stick this on you.
[Because of the morning shoot] [A sudden preemptive 'F']
-Give me a chance. -Just stick it already.
-Our Seung-hwan needs a reversal. -Yes.
[pities him]
I'll sing the song I made for a drama.
[A medley of Jung Seung-hwan's hit songs]
[Pianist: Kim Yeong-ho]
[If It Was You]
[admiring]
[Every uttered syllable]
[Every uttered syllable drips with sorrow]
[In the dry studio, the explosion of emotions pour]
[appreciation mode]
[sweet]
[soft]
[A magical cure for dry eyes] [An emotion that can bring the tears out of dry eyes]
[Written by IU] [Snowman]
[Seung-hwan's talent which can only be confirmed by live singing]
[The meeting of a graceful melody and]
[graceful vocal chords]
[delightful to the ears]
Seung-hwan truly deserves an 'A'...
but his company is an 'F'
For a really talented kid...
Jung Seung-hwan really is the Park Bo-gum of singers. [They now see Seung-hwan as Park Bo-gum]
[They give him compliments but refuse to give him an 'A']
He sings really well. [They give him compliments but refuse to give him an 'A']
Next.
For me today, I...
So he'd assist me... [For this audition]
I managed to get this person here after exerting some effort.
He truly does look tired. (play on words)
Oh! This person really is a big deal. [Right then, they received an urgent piece of information]
He's Korea's No. 1 Jazz pianist,
Yoon Seok-cheol.
He's a genius pianist.
[Um, why would this kind of person...at this kind of place...??]
But--why have you come to this small place?
Because I still have to earn a living, even a cent.
Oh, yes, money's important.
But you really look super tired. [an aura of exhaustion]
It's too early, isn't it?
Usually, I'd be asleep at this time. [To an artist, 9 AM is the time to go to sleep]
See? [Once again, the great traitor Mr. Jung is summoned]
Then, (can't make this out). Mr. Yoon Seok-cheol's
[A genius pianst's live performance]
Representative piece.
Let's listen to a title piece.
-A title piece? / -Yes.
[Merrily Music - Yoon Seok-cheol Trio]
[This is the playing of a genius's hands]
[What kind of fortune is this?] [Three vocalists and a genius pianist, too]
[Our pianist is the best!]
[A medley of Paul Kim's hit songs]
[Me After You - Paul Kim]
Oh, that was him?
Yes, it is him.
[A voice that gives warm comfort]
[That's why he's the heating pad of singers]
[Every Day, Every Moment - Paul Kim]
Oh! [This song was his too?]
-That was him? -It was.
[This person's voice, too, is like his fingerprint]
[A bewitching voice that makes you fall in love as soon as you hear it]
[A boyfriend you want to be with] [every day, every moment]
[Viewers' feelings right now] [Paul Kim, take me away~]
[admiring]
Wow, Paul Kim.
Oh, am I no.1 ? [Presents an 'A' as though possessed]
Give it to Mr. Yoon Seok-cheol?
-Be thankful. -Because we're so thankful.
[Yoon Seok-cheol's existence itself is an 'A']
[envious of that 'A']
Ah, our Paul Kim.
[You were that moved but you give him a 'B'???]
He's giving this to you because you sang for us.
No one else would get an 'A' except for Lee Hi. [Our hayi, let's just walk on the A path]
Then, since these guys are having a come-back after so long
I'm curious about Hi in particular but also
I'm curious about the others too...so
Can you tell us about your title song?
it's called 'no one' 누구없어
Han Young Ae's 누구없어 (Is Nobody There)?
Yes, I got the inspiration from that song.
-You got inspired by the song. -Yes.
Seung-hwan, what kind of song is yours?
My new song is called "The Voyager" [Yoo Hui-yeol took part in composition]
and it came out in my second EP album
It's a little different from the kind of songs I came out with before
and the lyrics have more of a fantastical feel to them.
What about Paul Kim?
My newest song is a song called "Traffic Light". [Achieved No. 1 on the charts]
We should hear them live.
First of all,
-Hayi-ah, are you ready? -Yes.
yes i'm ready
first, let's give you one more A. [for God Hayi, always leniently giving A]
she really looks like an avengers
[Suddenly feels small...]
Now let's first listen to Lee Hi's No One.
[No One - Lee Hi] [Korean Adele's turn]
[It's a song that calmly expresses the emotions of a person looking for love because of loneliness]
[Even doing a key dance move]
[completely enchanted by the music]
Knock knock are you there? I'm here!! [Devoted believers of Eternal-Hi religion]
Followed by Seung-hwan's song. What's it called?
Jung Seung-hwan's "In-flight Meal"?
That-that is also go-good.
Let's go with that.
I personally think "In-flight Meal" sounds more mysterious.
Alright. I'll be singing "In-flight Meal".
-Are you kind of looking down on us? -No, no, no.
-But it does seem like you're looking down on us... -That's not true.
Alright. "The Voyager".
[The Voyager - Jung Seung-hwan]
[A song that takes you on a mysterious journey with fantastical sensibilities. Old man Hui-yeol's fave.]
[Ah...you fall in at first listen]
[An absorbed piggy] [He's not sleeping]
You do deserve an 'A',
but your company's an 'F'.
Miss Hayi, what do you think?
I really love it
Now, Paul Kim,
how about we listen to "Traffic Light"?
[Traffic Light - Paul Kim]
[Paul Kim's quiet sensitivity coupled with the song's no. 1 ranking on the music charts proves his ability]
Ah, the agreed upon job must be over now.
You'll now be going back to sleep, right?
Thank you very much. Be healthy. [We thank all the accompanying pianists for their wonderful playing]
Okay. We just judged for a basic test in our Idol 999 vocalist auditions.
Besides one person,
you guys barely passed.
[accepting] / [unbelievable]
One person passed with flying colors.
[Main vocal evaluation result: Lee Hi A]
[Main vocal evaluation result: Paul Kim - B]
[Main vocal evaluation result: Jung Seung-hwan - F]
now it's time for Idol 999 individual evaluation.
We already know but for Idol 999, it's not just about having a good vocal.
of course not, you have to have talent.
so now, we will have an earnest analysis for everyone of you.
Please introduce yourself to the national producers [Lee Hi appeal time 30 seconds]
in just 30 seconds. Cue!
Hello everyone, I'm Lee Hi [Idol 999 No.1 Queen Hi Lee Hi]
I've released a new album after 3 years.
Please look forward to it and give it a lot of love
In the future too
i will try to be a hard-working Lee Hi.
there are still 15 seconds left
furthermore
i'm so happy to be on Idol Room today.
In the future too I'll try to be Lee Hi who will always run energetically
say more we have time
yes~~ i have to make an appeal in 30 seconds
but i don't know what to say.
So i will wrap it up now
Thank you everyone
Fighting!
we are now receiving data from Super Fan Computer *loading sound*
Oh, it's finally here. Sit down comfortably, please.
Data from our Super Fan Computer shows that Lee Hi personally said that she is good at rap
If she has the chance, she wants to do rap once.
since when are you interested in rapping?
I'm not good at it...
It's just that I enjoy listening to it
who is your recent favorite rapper?
rather than a rapper.. Anderson Paak
Anderson Paak... he's popular
Anderson Paak was originally an underground rapper
(can't make it out T_T ) [Showing off his hip-hop knowledge]
Yeah, I know all that. We're doctors. [Huh?]
[A kind soul who only gives laughs]
Call us doctors. [A kind soul who only gives laughs]
actually, there are a lot of rappers born here.
Twice's Nayeon.. Girlfriend's Yerin.. Bolbbangan4's Ahn Jiyeong..
They are all the rappers who are born here.
We also have to evaluate Hayi here
Alright, come out from the magical bag.
Surprisingly, things keep coming out (of this bag).
Jung seunghwan and Paul Kim, you need to get prepared too
it's your turn next
you need some beat, right?
What? 8 beat?
8 beat? Keke
[without me knowing i laughed]
what's wrong, paul kim?
Are you looking down on us, again?
i'm sorry
drop the beat!
i don't know what to say, but im gonna start
[wow swag boss]
[this rapper is shy]
I'm so... shy.. ㅎㅎㅎ
dont be shy. Just try to do it
[Wrapping her rap after getting herself together]
sorry that my album takes 3 years
but i, too, is working hard.
Don't laugh at me!
Don't laugh while i'm rapping!
[my_expression_right_now.jpg]
this is so awkward
but i'm gonna keep going.
Ddan Ddan
-The End-
It's A! It's A!
Isn't this an unfair evaluation? [the biased evaluations continue today]
the beat is no joke
by the time we finish recording
there might be no blank space left in her body
the sense of rhythm is good
I like her sense of rhythm
it's good to be perfoming in front of cameras after so long, right?
i'm still adapting to it
you're a celebrity
right.. celebrities have to get used to cameras
Now, it's Jung Seung-hwan's turn. [Meanwhile, someone who's shaking]
Last year, Seung-hwan had a rapping challenge with his mother.
What?
You had a rapping challenge with your mother? "Show Me the Omoni"? (Omoni = mother)
Yes. We rapped together at home.
[A cypher rapped by him and his mother]
To verify whether Seung-hwan really has a talent in rapping, [confidence low due to the absence of his partner]
We need to check.
The topic is,
Antenna and Yoo Hui-yeol.
Seems kinda small?
Since it's small, come here.
-You can't show that it's small. / Where do I stick it? [They give him an 'F' every time he breathes]
The hat can't look small.
[upset]
I have a stage name for rapping.
I'm MC ABK.
ABK? [What's ABK?]
Antenna Bo-gum.
[Only he's feeling / satisfied]
You must have complaints about President Yoo Hui-yeol, right? [Head of management and labor]
Let's do it like this. Since it's hip-hop,
remove the 'president' part and go with Mr. Yoo Hui-yeol.
-Mr. Hui-yeol? -Yes.
Starting from now, it's Mr. Hui-yeol.
Yes, "how long would you be my boss?" [Giving an example to turn them against each other]
"I'm better than you at singing".
Things like that.
Got it.
Okay, ABK!
Drop the beat!
[Mr. Yoo Hui-yeol, now listen carefully]
Destroy Antenna!
[What to do about him] [Is that kinda thing also fine?]
I'm only calling you Mr. Yoo Hui-yeol because I'm on a show.
You always teach me how to sing.
But you don't know how to sing yourself.
[Dissing like it's his last day]
He told Mr. Hui-yeol to refrain from singing.
Calling him Mr. Hui-yeol 'cause you're on a show. I enjoyed it.
How can he call him Mr. Hui-yeol because he's on a show?
[I'm done for]
Hui-yeol Hyung, you know I respect you, right?
Now, Seung-hwan. You have 30 seconds to appeal to the audience.
Start~
Yes! Hello, national producers! [Ballad Prince, Jung Seung-hwan]
I'm singer Jung Seung-hwan.
That's it~ [30 seconds passed on the Ton-hee and Kon-hee clock]
Try again.
[Firmly trying to promote himself]
I'm greeting you from Idol Room...
I don't if you know this, [I'm getting sleepy]
but there's a thing called "Balladol"
and, as I mentioned previously, I do have a girl group's body
I do think I match the requirements of this project. [I won't cry or be sad even if I'm lonely]
No matter what difficulties I face around me,
since I'm going through all kinds of things,
so I will show you my drama.
That was Jung Seung-hwan! Thank you!
The Superfan Computer just sent us some data!
We're told Seung-hwan has a lot of things he's good at, besides singing.
One of his other talents is...Oh?
The singing world's Kim Dong-hyun.
He dreamt about being an expert in Muay Thai when he was in middle school.
-Did you train for it? -Yes, when I was young.
In Muay Thai? For how long?
For around a year in middle school
For around a year? Then you can do a kick in the air.
In Muay Thai, it's like this...
[proper pose]
-Like this... -Good
[Since it was well-received, one more]
Let's play rock-paper-scissors, and the person who loses gets kicked.
On the butt.
You join too, Paul Kim.
[What? Me?]
[A young girl dragged though she did nothing]
The losing person gets kicked.
Really? I kick that person?
[It can't be me, can it?]
What are you picking?
-Yes? -What are you picking?
-Scissors. -Scissors? / -Yes.
-For real? / -Yes. [worried]
Rock-paper-scissors!
[He really picked scissors]
Why'd you go for scissors?
I made a mistake.
Rock-paper-scissors!
[Scissors, again]
Today's our first meeting. [Meeting for the first time and hitting the other, that kind of relationship]
Do you know the people you see in matches? [Not my business~]
Of course not.
What is it? A promise is a promise.
Please go easy on me.
What to do? [burdened]
[Oh, gosh...]
I'm really nervous, what to do?
Stand to the front so you appear on screen.
-Wish each other before the kick. -That's right.
You worked hard today.
I won't accept it like this.
What to do...
-I'll try my best. -Right!
It's like an injection shot.
Why are you jumping around?
Why are you jumping?
Don't jump!
It's our first time meeting, though
I'm doing it.
[Fiery Thai flavor]
[Oh, God!]
What would we have done if it were one of us? [Relieved it's not them]
[Helping the 8-years-older Hyung get up]
What to do...
Paul Kim, how do you feel? [After the Muay Thai experience]
What? [Where is this place?]
His mind left him.
[glare]
[Hyung-ah, sorry] [The time to regret after committing the crime]
I really didn't think Seung-hwan would kick him for real. [Main instigators of everything / Quickly cutting losses]
I got hit on my butt but
it reverberated in my head.
[I'm originally a balladeer] [What wrong have I committed...]
I was so surprised.
I thought Paul Kim was about to make a big bow.
[Soulless] [Ton-hee's two victims]
I mean, why do they do everything they're told? [Ton-hee's two victims]
Hey, Seung-hwan
Should I get hit too?
No way. There's no reason for you to be hit. / -That's right.
I'm also not the kind to hit people.
[Today, too, he's getting a tough treatment...]
Really, why hit another person? Why?
[pat, pat]
Now,
this time, Paul Kim! [30 seconds appeal time]
Can you stand?
Uh, yes.
-And your back's okay? -Yes.
[You fool,] [Shouldn't have done what they told me to]
Now...
fkfmwlp--I'll do it again.
[What to do about our Paul Kim]
He still...
[Please punish me] (Historical drama style)
I will reflect on my mistakes.
Are you going to hit your family then apologize for it?
[I miss Yoo President's embrace]
Paul Kim...
Start!
Yes, hello. I'm singer Paul Kim. [Ear-boyfriend, Paul Kim]
I...
Singing is my hobby and I sometimes write lyrics too.
And if I'm bored, like this...
I get hit every now and then by people who do sports.
[Hyung-ah, not you too]
[Feeling moved by Paul Kim]
My hip area is working just fine now it's swollen
so it's swollen
My hip area is completely fine.
An 'A' will cure you. [giving an 'A' instead of a medicine]
[Great Traitor / Crime: The crime of being caught on Don-hee's hook]
To all the people wishing to destress, please contact us.
That was singer Paul Kim. [freely goes on his knees]
That was neat.
The Superfan Computer [Dont' know what to do with himself]
once again [finds it fun to tease his dongsaeng]
gave us interesting data.
It found something surprising and unexpected in Paul Kim's past.
Paul Kim originally
was preparing to be a dancing singer like Justin Bieber.
Really, did you truly go to a dance academy?
Yes, but it was for a brief period.
Did you really train to be a dancing singer?
Rather than to be a dancing singer,
I really wanted to appear on a music program at first
and that's what I was preparing for,
but they didn't send me. [Company's decision went against his hopes]
so I wasn't able to appear on TV.
-I ended up practicing on my own. -How long was it?
Around two months. [2-month dancer]
If it was for two months, then you must have the basics, right?
Rather than a choreo, I learned some dance movements.
-Let's see it. -Let's see it.
[Sighing after getting up unconsciously]
-Careful of your behind! -Ah, right.
[Ah, right] [My precious butt]
[Stuck an 'F' in repentance]
[Doowap - Paul Kim]
[The dance he learned from a dance academy]
[boom, bap]
[All done after a couple of hand moves]
[Now he's using some leg moves]
[He's like a dancing master]
[Including some cutesy moves too]
[A dance that's somewhere between a choreo and a dance routine]
Something like that.
You learned this in two months?
I went there 3 times a week for two months.
Can you do a cover dance, perhaps?
Uh, that's pretty much all I focused on.
But you can still dance freestyle.
As expected of Paul Kim.
Then...
Together with Seung-hwan?
He feels
apologetic towards me [using the apology as a weapon]
so we can dance together. [sharing the burden of dancing]
Yeah, try asking your dongsaeng.
He's much younger.
Can you do it?
I want to dance so much I feel like I'm going crazy.
I've been wanting to dance for a while. [Balladeer, my foot / No wonder he's willing to dance]
"Why are they making me sing?"
Seung-hwan rushed to
make his hyung feel better.
Now,
play some music!
[They naturally hold hands and head to the stage]
[Good-natured spin]
[Suddenly, the mood changes to tango]
[Leave it up to me]
[After getting a feel for the song]
[Our stage starts now]
[Mommy]
[Antenna's main dancer's over-the-top moves]
[What's happening?]
[Seung-hwan really must have been wanting to dance]
[He nicely switches between himself and Paul]
[Uses up all he learned]
[Let's the vibe take control of his body]
[Hi, too, moves instinctively]
lee hi is coming!
[Queen Hi enters]
[Going around the stage freely]
[Copying the Queen's dance]
[Mr. Yoo Hui-yeol!] [What exactly are you teaching Seung-hwan...?]
[Having too much fun]
[I enjoyed myself]
So Seung-hwan got into Antenna for his dancing.
-I like modern dance. / -You do? [One person left a deep impression]
Enjoyed that.
This really is a precious video. [in so many ways]
Ah! We have data from Superfan Computer coming in!
Seems like Seung-hwan got some dance training from JYP.
Is that true?
Starting from TWICE,
to other JYP people, too...
But how could there be such an interaction?
Yoo Hui-yeol Sunbaenim linked us up. [So he wouldn't have to envy other people] [The deep intention of Yoo President]
-Because Yoo Hui-yeol Hyung and JYP Hyung are pretty close. / -I think so, yeah.
But really,
my teacher said I catch on quick. [Jung Seung-hwan (24) / type to get things quickly, Antenna's Momo(?)]
and complimented me loads.
Our Seung-hwan...
is capable of doing what only idols can do,
which is copying dances.
-It's my speciality. -This is difficult, though.
because BoA
Shinee's Key,
and Blackpink's Lisa
-are the only ones who could pass this challenge. / -That's right.
-And we're going straight to Jung Seung-hwan? / -Yes.
[hard to believe]
-Those three and then Jung Seung-hwan? -Yes.
But rather than calling it copying,
call it Jung Seunghwan-ing a dance.
Doing it in your own style.
It would similar but viewed through my lens
in a new way.
Let's see first.
-Since your teacher praised you. -Yes!
[a confidence felt by his whole body]
Since you're a performer, just be confident.
-First thing. -I have to work hard.
[Starts with Blackpink]
[His body follows directly]
[What's happening / It looks good?]
[What's this shocking high-level ability?]
[I feel like Lisa]
[Um...seems / like the real thing!!]
That's it!
He really followed them well.
Also,
I now know what you mean.
You have your own feel. [You showed us...through the JSH lens]
Let's go.
-Remember it. -Kill This Love.
[Kill This Love - Blackpink]
[suspicious]
[the ambition for dance a balladeer nurtured in his life]
[roughly the same as what you'd see riding a KTX (train)]
[Genius born in a dance wasteland]
[Dancing machine]
Let's move on to the next.
This is weird.
I mean, to have BoA, Key, and Lisa
followed right by Jung Seung-hwan.
There's nothing he can't do.
Then we have 4 dance masters.
[This time it's ITZY]
[His hands and feet quickly copy the dance]
[Hahaha My style]
[already admiring]
[in the midst of all that, the gaze of a girl group]
[copying done]
[What should I do with my talent?]
It really got into my body, into my body.
Really unexpected.
You
go straight ahead. Straight ahead.
Look at him jump.
Saw him.
[Moves nimbly and lightly]
Hey, he should've become a comedian. [At this rate, I'm going to fall for myself]
He jumps well.
Cue the music!
[DALLA DALLA- ITZY]
[it's coming]
[the dance is]
[Inside...]
[Inside...Seung-hwan, ITZY exists]
[To have such a talent within ballad singers]
[hahahahaha]
[Look at the cuteness]
[President completely satisfied]
[The end...]
[you thought?]
[Goes on with the rest dance]
[satisfied with himself]
It's good you're doing things in moderation.
Since there are 3 parts to this challenge,
you have one more song to do. -The last song.
I can do it all.
We've been looking for the fourth dance master.
For him to be a ballad singer...!
A complete twist.
It's been easy so far.
[his body responds first]
[A lethal attack pouring from my body]
[Dead]
He's done it, done it. [Dead]
Alright, got it. -Okay, okay.
What do we do with his confidence? [Confident of his singing and dancing] [The man who has it all]
He has it! Let's go ahead!
Give us the music!
[possessed by Chungha]
[copy, paste]
[Look at his body line]
[a killer vibe that puts Chungha in danger]
[Did you fall for me?]
[Perfectly done copied wave]
[This is the bright future of Korea's ballads]
[Jung Seung-hwan completely overturned the stage]
Let's take all those 'F's!
You're an 'A'. [A great jump from 'F' to 'A']
Give all these 'F' stickers to Paul Kim!
[To me???]
[He was a mere observer, but out of the blue...]
That's why you should always watch to the end
to get the results.
I think it's the first time I sweated on stage.
Seung-hwan, we'll
give you Idol Room's official certification.
You're the 4th dancing master.
Key, Lisa, [BoA, Key, Lisa, then JSH]
and Jung Seung-hwan! [BoA, Key, Lisa, then JSH]
He follows well and
if you see him from the back, [Having his own victory ceremony]
(I think he's talking about his hip, unsure)
-The wave he did with his shoulder... -It was surprising.
[Individual evaluation results: Lee Hi AAAA]
[Individual evaluation results: Jung Seung-hwan A]
[Individual evaluation results: Paul Kim FBB]
now is group evaluation
Since you guys are the next generation ballad singer,
what is the most important thing when it comes to vocal?
hayi, what do you think?
voice?
but is your voice originally like that?
since i was young, i sound a lot more like boys
mom, give me food
now it's higher than the past
It got higher? Brighter?
yes
-And now it's not changing. -Yes.
Seung-hwan,
what's the most important for a vocalist?
Dance?
-I think it's ambition. -Ambition?
If you always hold on to it tightly, [Holding on to his ambition in his ballad singer life]
there are moments when it explodes.
So it's better to condense it and release it when singing...
What about Paul Kim?
A peaceful mind.
You two are so different.
Ambition and a peaceful mind.
Why, why?
Because
it's [ballad singing] not about showing off all your talents
I rather think it's about trying to focus on
what really matters without being shaken.
Isn't that important?
That's right. [complete agreement]
If you make even one mistake, it really shows, right?
-Yes. -That can happen.
All your opinions
are definitely valid, but
according to ballad prince sung sikyung
he once said ballad is about not having much of a breathing interval
Breathing is so important, right?
Breathing is definitely important.
Managing breathing well...
So now we will do a proper test. Bring it in!
Now, the test for full breath capacity: coloured paper, hoo hoo hoo!!
one by one, you will blow the coloured papers,
and the one who will blow all of them in the shortest time will win.
All of them.
are we all doing it together?
one by one, are you not listening to what we just said?
You didn't hear it?
Are you being like this because of the 'A'?
I think he got excited from all the dancing he did.
I did it, today.
who will go first?
me!
okay, hayi!
ready, go!
[Colored paper HuHuHu start with Lee Hi]
oh it's hard
it looks hard..
[Fuhhhh]
wow it's hard
[the confetti is heavier than what people thought]
Let's go for 60 secs
augh
how can you be like that already?
This is a breathing test, hayi ya
you need to blow it hard
[Hayi is blowing shortly]
[Working hard]
[It generates hangover sound]
almost there..almost there
[Stay strong]
[feeling sorry]
[I don't know that this game can be this sad]
[ahhh.. seriously..]
your face has gotten really pale!
you can't do that!
[so thats how yo do it]
Eliminated!
oh it's been a while since we saw this side of Lee Hi.
Hi-ya, you are already eliminated.
now hayi is.. the blood doesnt go to her face..
I thought it'd be easy.
it's hard, right?
yes..
[Ha...is it time for me to step in...?]
Jung Seun-hwan, you must blow these away to the last, okay?
His breathing doesn't take long. He can definitely do this.
[Piling up the colored paper as much as he cares of him]
[Um...look here...]
Placing them together just for Seung-hwan.
We lined them up as much as possible.
"Lined" them up? You made piles of them.
Ready, set, go!
[Beware of strong wind]
[With one blow, the colored paper go flying]
Bulldozer level.
As expected from someone good at dancing~ [a third gone in just a short time]
Doing well.
This part's not moving. [Made by Ton-hee / Piled paper]
His lung capacity must be good.
[colored paper cleared]
I said there shouldn't be any left.
[Strongly moving along despite Presiden't Ton-hee's bias]
[Clearing away the paper that never seems to end]
Until nothing's left.
Stop!
67 seconds? Whoa. [Jung Seung-hwan's record: 67 seconds]
Jung Seung-hwan is currently 1st place.
You're amazing, Seung-hwan. [Lost his words at the record]
You could have done more!
Alright, next
[Blowing away colored paper challenge - Paul Kim]
[The paper in front of Paul Kim was completely gone]
[With this speed, he will easily win]
I feel like throwing up. [With this speed, he will easily win...huh?]
Oh, a strong one.
[The table is being cleared within moments]
[The mood suddenly turns grim]
[3 puffs for 1 intake of air]
Paul Kim's almost there, almost there!
Can you please use my song as bgm while I'm puffing?
Finish it! Finish it! [frustrated]
Look at him!
[Mommy...is it over?...not]
That's it, almost there!
If it were you~ [having fun teasing Paul Kim]
You know that's not my song!
[To give Paul Kim energy] [We give you his song "The Road"...]
[The Ballad singer who said peace of mind was the most important]
[But what, then, is this desire to win?]
Stop!
paul kim's record is 66 secs
[Complete exhaustion]
Jung Seung-hwan's record is 67 secs, while Paul Kim's is 66 seconds!
lee hayi.. we didn't count.
And the winner of this game is lee hayi!
[Huh?]
[Kicked by the piggy he believed in]
[The winner is Lee Hi anyways]
What this game is about...
to be decisive at any moment about what you can't do,
sticking to your decisions.
That's the kind of game it was.
-You can't be greedy. -That's right.
This game's goal is
(Can't make it out) [We're innocent / It's President Ton-hee is decided on this]
[This is when you need to have peace of mind]
our hayi is amazing
[Lee Hi you're the best]
Still, for you two, we'll give you 'B'.
Tha.nk.yo.u.
You did well.
Are you alright?
This way...
the audition has completed.
Are you satisfied with your own results?
i am very satisfied
we are kind of sad
We want to give you more than A
We could add more 'A's to your jeans.
What about Seung-hwan?
I'm very, very pleased.
I only had 'F's earlier,
but now I have the two highest levels.
-We didn't even know about him being a dancing genius. / -That's right.
[I did really well]
How does Paul Kim feel?
[Has much to say]
I...
had my butt kicked,
got dizzy because of breathing too hard,
but I don't have a single 'A'.
You do!
Then I'm satisfied.
We will now be revealing who will join Idol 999
Seung-hwan is hoping for it.
The member of idol999 is...
[desperate]
[Could I also]
okay! It's balloon bomb!
we will pick with this
What did we work so hard for?
You will deliver your ment one by one
and give the bomb to the next person.
When the bomb explodes,
the person who holds it will be the main vocal member of idol999
[As long as you avoid Ton-hee & Kon-hee, the world's fair]
lets start with hayi

Can I talk for long?
yes you can
Who will it be?
It started.

Congratulations.
A uniform.
[Likely the only benefit for members]
-Is it really mine? -That's right.
[envious but congratulatory]
[feeling good now that he's wearing the uniform]
[Idol 999] [Third Member Jung Seung-hwan]
We really didn't think you'd be the 3rd member.
We did make sure you were suitable to be a dancing singer.
-How do you feel? -First of all...
I totally expected this result
and it was a good chance to reveal new talents.
I still have more I haven't shown,
but like today, I'll make sure to show an interesting story.
-as the main vocal responsible for dance-- Too long!
You still have more?
Make it short!
Yes, thank you!
-Well, we don't have a choice in this. -Yeah.
Really, such a shame. [Directly making his regret known]
-Really, a shame? / -The other members too are feeling sad (over the results), right?
