The Liar and His Lover (2017): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript
They can't go on that show
with this arrangement.
They're going on a survival show
with this awful song plus lip-syncing?
Let's not make them into a joke.
It was President Yoo's idea.
I can't do anything about it.
They'll drop out for sure.
I guess you have a lot of spare time.
-What's that?
-I rearranged the song.
Use this song.
I'll play the piano
instead of the session musicians.
You too, Seo Chan-young.
We need your bass.
Enough with your nonsense.
We're done with the rehearsal.
You think this is a joke?
You have to try your best, at least.
Han-gyul is right.
You won't have a shot
if you go out like this.
What would you do?
Are you going to let yourself be ignored?
Or are you going to show who you are?
This BTBC's show aims to debut trainees.
A survival audition program...
-Wow, there they are!
-It's So-rim!
-Hey, be quiet!
-There they are!
He's my son!
A trio band consist of Yoon So-rim,
Baek Jin-woo and Lee Kyu-sun.
They are the Bong Trio!
Music start!
What's going on?
What are you doing!
Music is not playing.
Please check the sound.
Music Director!
Director!
Hey, be quiet.
-I can't hear anything.
-Turn the volume up.
Music Director,
-what are you doing?
-There's nothing wrong down here.
Check the sound now.
Sing.
Sing, Yoon So-rim.
These days
you seem so worried
She's singing.
Turn on their microphones!
Hey, turn on their microphones. Hurry.
Wait, who's that?
Is that Seo Chan-young?
Gosh, turn on all the microphones.
Actually
You laugh a lot
Even before anyone can get worried
You brush it off and get up
You're going to greet me
With a bright smile
It's not going to be easy...
We need to talk later.
Becoming an adult
My goodness.
Everyone feels the same as you
Let's have strength
Go back to you
Sing a new song of hope like this
Be excited for the world
That's waiting for you
Let's run again
When things are hard...
-Hey, isn't that Seo Chan-young?
-Really?
Just sing a song of joy like this
Confidently
Someday, today will all become a memory
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
She's really good!
Have strength, my friend
It's not easy
Becoming an adult
Everyone feels the same as you
Let's have strength
Go back to you
Sing a new song of hope like this
Be excited for the world
That's waiting for you
Let's run again
When things are hard
And you want to give up
Just sing a song of joy like this
Confidently
Someday, today will all become a memory
Give thanks, remember
And have strength, my friend
Give thanks
Remember
Remember
Give thanks
Remember
Remember
Applause!
You did so well!
Good work. You exceeded my expectation.
I'm sorry we lost, CEO Choi.
The winner was decided
from the beginning.
That's why I'm not going
to worry about it
and I don't want you to either, okay?
-Let's go and eat dinner.
-Okay.
Seo Chan-young, do you have time?
No, I have to go for a shoot.
That's right. It's your comeback.
Good work today.
Eat lots of delicious food today.
-I'll call you later.
-Okay.
Let's go eat.
Kyu-sun, we got here pretty fast.
Han-gyul, thanks for the ride.
You didn't have to.
No, Soo-yeon asked me to.
The taxi fare wasn't even that much.
We'll get going.
Please make sure So-rim gets home safe.
Hey, why would he do that?
Hey, let go!
You did a great job today.
You must have been nervous.
I wasn't nervous.
I was confident that it was a song
I could sing well.
You told me your music is sincere.
I'm sorry...
for lying about who I am.
But I'll tell you everything.
I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Don't say that.
That makes me want
to ask you everything.
Even things that are
useless to ask at this point.
Like what?
For instance...
I want to know what kind
of relationships you've had.
I wonder what kind of person she was,
how much you liked her...
and whether you were her first love.
I have so many stupid questions.
And I'm not curious because
I want to know the answers.
Then what should we do?
I'll do whatever you want.
-Please answer one question then.
-Only one?
Yes, I only have one question.
Even if the lyrics aren't about me,
you thought about me when you wrote it.
Do your songs contain
your current feeling?
No, not at all.
Then that's good.
That's all I wanted to know.
-I'll go in now.
-Okay.
See you.
What the hell did you do?
Were you trying to screw us up?
Why are you getting mad at me?
It was an accident--
Accident? Let's just say that it was.
But Seo Chan-young
happens to be on stage at that time
and even played a completely
different song from rehearsals.
It looks like you did something crazy
for the good of your new artists.
You almost caused
a huge broadcast mistake!
-Do you think I'll let this go?
-What's going on?
Hello, President Yoo.
What did CEO do so wrong
that your voice is ringing
throughout the entire building?
-I don't like it.
-It's not that--
This must be because
of the mishap earlier.
But why are you blaming him
for your staff's mistake?
BTBC, WHO Entertainment
and SOLE Music N
are all part of WHO Media Group.
You shouldn't behave this way.
You're right. I'll get going.
I have a meeting to attend.
-Okay, good work today.
-Okay.
-Thank you for your help.
-No need to thank me.
I'm not too fond of anyone
stepping on my employees.
I liked the arrangement.
Who arranged it?
The kids reacted fast--
Wow, hearing your excuses,
I guess it wasn't your idea.
Then, was it Chan-young?
Wow, he even knows
how to pull tricks like this?
I've never seen this side of him before.
CEO Choi.
I hope to hear about Seo Chan-young
and that girl's relationship sometime.
Hey! You traitor!
You played with them without us?
-Are you Yoo Si-hyun?
-I'm not!
He's a traitor!
WHO'S THE ROOKIE WHO PLAYED
WITH SEO CHAN-YOUNG?
Chan-young, I think
they became a hit because of you.
-What was that?
-I told you not to drink too much.
Okay, fine.
You told me to drink!
Why are you changing words?
-Are you all right?
-Did you settle the fight?
-What do you mean?
-With So-rim.
-I guess.
-But did you win?
This isn't a war.
There are no winners and losers.
It's a war.
If it's not a war
between men and women, what is?
When the other person
has no desire to win.
-When the other person...
-Yes?
...has no desire to win...
I can't win either.
Are you drunk?
-He's drunk, right?
-Yes, he's gone.
-You don't get it.
-I think you're just drunk.
So-rim! We saw you on TV yesterday!
Yoon So-rim!
-Yoon So-rim!
-Hey, be quiet!
She's a celebrity.
You were so good at singing.
I bragged to my friends about you.
You were so amazing! What do we do?
Hey, how do you know Chan-young?
Can we get his autograph?
-Me too!
-Me too!
Me first!
You see--
Yoon So-rim...
-Yoon So-rim!
-Stop it, guys.
Yoon So-rim!
Hey!
What on earth are you guys
doing right now?
Hey, Yoon So-rim!
I saw you on TV yesterday.
You're such a great singer.
I knew you'd succeed like this.
I was so happy to see you on TV.
-Sir.
-Yes?
-Do you want a picture with her?
-Yes, that's right!
-Get out of the frame!
-One, two, three.
Everyone get out of the picture.
One, two, three.
You can do it, Trio Band!
Thank you.
I don't know if I should accept this.
I wanted to congratulate you.
You looked pretty on TV.
No, I looked like a squid
next to the celebrities there.
No way.
But do you know
Seo Chan-young personally?
Well, we're in the same company.
-Is that it?
-Pardon?
Isn't it amazing that Seo Chan-young
played bass for you?
I'm sure he must've been really busy
because of his comeback.
How close are you?
You see...
-Yes?
-Hold on.
-Se-jung, go in without me.
-Why?
-I have to take this call.
-Who is it?
-What?
-Why are you hiding it from me?
Answer it in front of me.
Is it someone from your company?
Seo Chan-young?
No, it's not like that.
I think it is.
You wouldn't hide it otherwise.
-Hey, let me see. Let me--
-What are you doing?
MY LOVELY GRANDMA
-I told you.
-You should've shown me then!
You could've just shown me.
What was all this fuss?
What's wrong with her?
THE UNEXPECTED TURN AROUND
ON PRODUCE 20
Wow, I'm so happy.
CEO Choi, their video has twice as many
views and comments than the others.
And it's trending on many social medias.
Chan-young playing the bass
helped them a lot.
Also the broadcast mistake
was a great marketing for them!
They're so lucky.
It's like someone's paving the road
for them to debut.
Hurry up and get them ready
for their debut before the hype dies.
Yes, I will.
-That's it for today.
-Okay.
CEO Choi, the program is going
to release the songs from the show.
-They want to know who arranged it.
-Isn't that K?
Should I give them K's name?
I hope to hear about Seo Chan-young
and that girl's relationship sometime.
Han-gyul.
Do I owe you guys rice all the time?
I'm always making you hangover soup.
But why are you completely fine?
It's more like you guys
are bad at drinking.
-Hey, are you okay?
-This is delicious.
Yes, Joon-seok. I'm with the guys.
They have practice? Okay, I got it.
Hey, Joon-seok's coming soon.
Hurry and get ready.
I look handsome no matter what.
Do you call yourself a celebrity?
He's here already?
They're not ready...
-You're here too?
-What brings you here?
Good. I don't have
to tell you separately anymore.
-Did you eat?
-Yes.
A CLEVER ARRANGEMENT
WITH A FRESH VOICE
THE UNEXPECTED TURN AROUND
ON PRODUCE 20
Are you telling me that it wasn't
Seo Chan-young who arranged it
but it was Kang Han-gyul?
Yes, it looks like they had a small
argument before the show.
But I think they decided
to follow Kang Han-gyul's idea.
Kang Han-gyul arranged a song
for a new artist that no one knows?
And it wasn't even agreed upon?
Yes, but the strange thing is...
their staff put Seo Chan-young's
name down for the arrangement.
The song that they sang on the show
will be released this week.
We're going to put Chan-young's
name down for the arrangement.
What do you mean?
Han-gyul arranged it...
It looks like we planned out
if we say K arranged it.
Everyone thinks
it was a broadcast mistake.
And if your name is uses,
they'll get more attention.
Your fans will go wild.
But even then...
Han-gyul, aren't you against this?
I'm okay with it.
I never wanted to be credited
for the arrangement anyway.
Since Han-gyul agreed,
we'll go ahead with it.
I don't like it.
I'm not happy about stealing
something that I didn't arrange.
Why?
Wouldn't it be great to get a song
from Kang Han-gyul, whom you admire?
What did you say?
I'm just kidding.
I want you to be understanding
because this is for So-rim.
It's just an arrangement
so don't be too sensitive about it.
You didn't come here
to ask for my opinion.
You came here to let me know.
Do what you want.
Hey, Chan-young!
Chan-young!
Hey, where are you going?
-Did you have to say it that way?
-No matter how I put it,
Chan-young wouldn't have been happy.
-Hey!
-What's wrong?
Kang Han-gyul!
Chan-young.
Ignore what CEO Choi said.
He's not doing this
because he looks down on you.
-It's because you're better off--
-I know.
I know I'm easy to take advantage of,
so stop with the excuses.
Gosh, the mood turns gloomy
whenever CEO Choi gets involved.
Hey, I get why Chan-young is pissed.
He's playing with both of you.
Why did you say it was okay?
You should've said no!
I'm actually okay with it.
CEO Choi is right.
It's good for So-rim
if we release it under Chan-young's name.
The public will be more curious too.
Are you telling me
you're doing this for So-rim?
-Is that weird?
-Yes, it's really weird.
I don't know.
When So-rim is involved...
I want to be a better person
aside from in music.
-What do we do?
-He's at it again.
-I don't know.
-Let him be.
What should we do with him?
These days
You seem so worried
I guess you don't really know what to do
Your song that was always with me
Is the store closed yet?
Hello?
-You answered right away.
-You always call me at this hour.
I see, did you wait for my call?
Hey, no way!
I just wanted to get our call over with.
I'm glad the cell phone was invented.
I can call you whenever I miss you.
The speed of sound
is the second fastest after light.
-No.
-Pardon?
It's not the second fastest.
The time it takes for it to travel--
Did you major in science?
-Yes.
-I see.
We discovered a huge difference
between you and me.
But it won't change anything.
It sounds like you're more determined.
I just realized something.
I can't stop my feelings
just because I want to.
That's why I decided
to nurture those feelings more.
That's why I wanted to ask...
If you have time...
What are you doing this weekend?
I'm not doing anything.
-Do you want to meet up?
-What for?
Just because.
I want to see you.
Yes, see you then.
I'll see you this weekend.
-Hang up.
-You hang up first.
-You can hang up first.
-No, you do it.
Okay.
Yes!
The 30th anniversary special promotion?
Yes, Yuna was our main model
for the last five years
but this time, we want
to employ some more artists
to hold this commemorative promotion.
We'll make promotional materials
and release a single, too.
You'll re-sign with Yuna this year, right?
Well, that's something that needs to be
agreed upon within our company.
Anyway, CEO Choi.
Do you think we can get
Crude Play for our commercial?
Our company keeps
talking about Crude Play.
-It's hard for me to say...
-How about a collaboration?
-You and Crude Play?
-Yes.
-I think it's worth considering.
-Yes, we could do that.
But do you really think you can get Yuna
and Crude Play to do this collaboration?
If I put my heart into it.
But if Yuna can't be re-signed.
We can't let another group
from the same company steal the deal.
But this is going to be difficult.
The truth is, we got a proposal
from WHO Entertainment.
I appreciate your help.
CEO Choi is here.
I see you're busy, so I'll make it short.
I heard that the new group,
Maybay will take Yuna's commercial deal.
We're considering it.
We decided to appoint a new group.
Do you mean...
-the kids from Produce 20?
-It hasn't been decided yet.
Speaking of new groups,
how's that girl doing?
Yoon So-rim.
Can you give Yoon So-rim to me?
I don't need the other two.
I just want her.
-What are you--
-I'm interested.
After what you and Han-gyul did for her...
The kind of men surrounding a girl
is a good indicator of her worth.
Why? You even changed the name
of the person who arranged the song.
You tried to hide Han-gyul from me,
but are you disappointed I found out?
We did it because
it'll be better for So-rim,
and Han-gyul agreed.
Anyway, if you hand her over,
I'll work on letting
Yuna take the commercial.
If you take her...
are you going to make sure she debuts?
That's such a meaningless question.
You know it won't be easy for you
to let her debut in this situation either.
You're not thinking
of choosing that girl...
over Yuna, are you?
Women are really delicate.
Yuna is very sensitive these days.
But if the commercial
she worked for five years is taken away...
it'll be hard for her.
-Grandma!
-Yes?
Look.
Do you like this one or this one?
I like the other one.
-The other one?
-Yes.
Gosh, what do I do?
I look good in pink
but Han-gyul likes blue.
Does that mean I should wear blue?
If I wear blue,
do you think he'll like me more?
Gosh, stop making a big deal!
What's so great about him?
He's handsome and good with dumplings.
What else?
He's a great pianist too.
But what else does he have to offer?
But I want to look good for him.
You look good no matter what you wear,
so don't worry.
If he doesn't think so,
bring him to me. I'll punish him.
What?
-But what should I wear?
-Wear this one!
-What should we do?
-Pardon?
We should do something since we met up.
What should we do?
My bad, I didn't make any plans.
Do you want to eat?
Do you want to go to a cafe?
I'm just kidding.
-Let's do something special.
-Like what?
I don't want to eat or go to a cafe.
I want to do what you like.
I want to do what you like.
That's what I want to do.
What I like to do?
Where are we going?
We're not going anywhere.
We're just riding the bus.
This bus?
This is what I like to do.
I like to hear people's voices
in the bus.
-But no one's here.
-No, there are...
Is this weird?
No, I like it. I like it a lot.
But what do you do
with the voices you hear?
When I hear a voice I like,
I write a song that suits that voice.
After only writing Crude Play songs,
I got used to Si-hyun's voice.
So it's hard to have a broader view.
This helps me a lot.
Then, let me know
when you hear a voice you like.
Sure.
-What's this?
-What?
-No, I'm just...
-What's this?
You can rest your head on it.
What do you mean?
Something like this?
Is it this?
I'll do it, then.
We'll take the next question.
Reporter Yeo Si-yun
from Chun Ah Sports.
As soon as your album came out,
it claimed the top on the music charts.
How do you feel? Are you bored
because you hit the top so often?
I thought we might feel that way.
We're grateful and happy
that people still like our songs.
We'll take the next question.
Reporter Choi Kyu-seok
from S Star Daze.
I'm Choi Kyu-seok.
You actually played the songs
yourselves, correct?
Excuse me?
Well, you must be busy
with your tight schedule.
When would you possibly have time
to practice to play like top musicians?
I was curious.
That's right.
We know what our fans expect.
So we're always trying our best.
Wow, Si-hyun knows
how to do interviews.
You're not answering my question.
What I want to hear is Yes or No.
Yes, we play the instruments
when we record.
It was such an obvious question,
so we didn't know your intention.
We weren't sure what to say, right?
Surely you're a professional band.
Many people will continue to watch you
and take interest in your future.
Thank you.
That was an interesting question.
Thank you, Reporter Choi Kyu-seok.
We'll take the next question.
-Is it good?
-Pardon?
You look like you're enjoying it.
That's because
I haven't had my lunch snack.
-You have a snack regularly?
-Yes.
After a meal, I have to wait
several hours until the next meal.
I get hungry.
Wow, it's Crude Play!
Wow, Chan-young looks so cool.
Gosh, why does my back hurt
all of a sudden?
I can't see the TV.
Well, I need to stretch...
I can't see, so move to the side.
WITH HIS AMAZING STAGE PRESENCE
You see him every day
when you go to work.
Why are you so happy to see him?
I'm his fan. I've liked him
ever since he debuted.
You just don't know
what they're really like.
If you find out
what they're really like...
you won't like them at all.
How come?
We named our band Crude Play
because we weren't that glamorous.
Hey!
We looked up simple words in a dictionary.
Crude Play.
We don't play seriously.
We put how out
the word crude beforehand.
-I haven't heard that before.
-Pardon?
What it was like when you were
still a member of Crude Play.
I want to see Crude Play with you in it.
Now they have Chan-young.
Of course with Chan-young.
You can have two bass players.
Well, I'm not sure
if that's going to happen.
-It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
-Yes.
Sorry.
Please watch out!
Seriously...
-Are you okay?
-I'm okay.
Be careful.
So-rim, your shoes are untied.
Oh, right.
You have to double-knot them
so they don't come undone.
Like this.
Oh, my goodness.
What do I do?
I'll go first.
Hey, Yoon So-rim!
Your mom was sad
that she wasn't invited to this.
I already saw her last week.
It's hard to spend time
with you alone like this.
Hyun-joo and Jae-sun
have been waiting for their turn.
By the way, Jin-hyuk will join us.
CEO Choi Jin-hyuk?
He's doing well with SOLE Music N.
It's not bad to have dinner
and encourage him.
SOLE Music N is possible because
WHO Entertainment is behind them.
If you're too nice to your employees,
they get confused about their positions.
Rather than controlling them
as your puppets, you should know...
how to make them work for you.
It's the fine string
that controls the puppet.
If you use force, the string will break.
-It's been a while, Chairman Yoo.
-Welcome.
Have a seat.
I'm counting on you, CEO Choi.
I think spotting talent is a skill.
It's always difficult to read people
and easy to lose them.
Also, the entertainment management field
is all about people
and their dreams.
I agree with you.
So I've been working on
new artists for our future.
New artists?
There haven't been any
since Crude Play?
Yes, President Yoo gave us
a good opportunity on BTBC.
They gained some publicity on the show.
I guess you could tell
they were good, too?
Yes, they look relatable
and have a great vocalist.
If they debut, we will see a reaction.
-Chairman Yoo, I'll pour you a glass.
-Sure.
You rented the whole cafe again?
I needed a place
where we could talk privately.
I didn't ask you here for a private matter
so don't be too sensitive.
I want to do a collaboration project...
with Crude Play.
What?
But you write all of Crude Play's songs.
So I thought it'd be right
to discuss it with you first.
We have a history,
but we belong to the same agency
and this can benefit us both.
I refuse.
What?
I don't care if you do
a collaboration project with Crude Play.
But I just can't write that song for you.
You said...
you liked my voice.
You said you loved the way I sang.
Didn't you say that as a songwriter?
Yes, I did.
But it's different now.
You're really cruel.
Do you have to crush me like this?
Is it because my voice has gone bad?
-That's why you can't write me a song?
-That's not it.
Then what is it?
There's only one girl I want
to sing my songs.
I'm too busy to write songs
for others now.
I'm sorry.
Who is that girl?
I have no reason to tell you.
I'm becoming more and more
disappointed in you.
You tried to come up
with such a poor trick.
If you acted that way,
you thought I'd be surprised?
I don't know what you mean.
What do I get if I embarrass you?
How much authority do you think
you'll get if you go around me?
Chairman Yoo promised me one thing
when he gave me a new label.
That I'd decide on the artists.
Do you know why?
While we're wasting our time
over unnecessary decision making,
we might lose a gem
we can't afford to lose.
But I've regularly reported
these unnecessary decisions to you
as a favor, because
you're the daughter of Chairman Yoo.
Is that so?
So instead of unnecessary decision making
I should get involved
in managing your new artist.
The main models for the commercial
will be my artists, Maybay.
And I will recommend your new artists,
Yoo So-rim's band, for seasonal models.
-That's not necessary...
-What do you mean?
This is such a golden opportunity.
You're not going to turn it down, are you?
Of course, it'll be harsh for the one
whose commercial gets taken away.
But it's no big deal to you
that a girl is heartbroken, right?
Oh, my goodness!
Why did I do that?
What's wrong with me.
I must be crazy. Seriously...
Did you eat something wrong?
Grandma, I must be crazy.
-What do I do?
-Are you going to stay out here?
Come in.
WAITING FOR YOU
Did you do your homework?
Coming up with your band name?
Of course, we did.
What is it?
-Here it is.
-MUSH&Co?
It doesn't sound bad.
What does it mean?
Since there are three of us
we decided to name our band
with things that characterize us.
So-rim's hair looks like a mushroom,
so there's Mush.
-I represent rice.
-Why rice?
As you can tell, I love rice.
Koreans get strength from rice.
-What about you, Jin-woo?
-I'm a rich and handsome guy.
Fine, I get it.
So what is the reason for the final name?
Mushroom, rice, rich and handsome guy
would be too long for a name,
so we decided to keep one
and combine them.
So yours is used
since you're the only girl?
No. Rock, paper, scissors!
That's how I won.
Guys, this is not a joke.
I like it. It looks like you came up
with it spontaneously.
Same as your concept.
You're completely natural on stage.
That's it for today.
-Look into registering their band name.
-Okay.
-Good work.
-Bye.
Thank you.
Wow, we're now MUSH&Co now.
CEO Choi.
Is it okay not to tell the kids
their debut article is going up this week?
I usually like to surprise people.
If I tell them beforehand,
it won't be as fun.
Once they read the article,
it will hit them.
Chan-young will read about it overseas.
Chan-young...
once the article comes up,
he'll read about it.
When I lie down in the tiny tub
There is a very small snail
Wouldn't it be great to get a song
from Kang Han-gyul, whom you admire?
It whispered in my ear
Someday
One day...
Hello, Chan-young.
You answered right away.
I was delighted to get your call.
It's been a while.
I'm sorry. I've been busy lately.
I didn't mean for you to feel sorry.
Are you done with your schedule?
Yes.
We have a photo shoot
overseas starting tomorrow.
We ended things early.
We're on our way to the company.
I'm still practicing here.
This late?
This is my first time coming
to an empty concert hall.
-Are you serious?
-Yes.
I like it because it feels like
we rented the whole place out.
It's very quiet, too.
For some reason...
it feels more quiet than usual
when it's empty.
What is it?
Am I wrong?
Am I just too used
to hearing applause in here?
-Something seems weird.
-What does?
When I'm here alone,
this place doesn't seem scary.
But why does it feel lonely and scary
when this place is full of people?
People realize they're alone
when they're with others.
Among so many people,
when you realize
there isn't anyone at your side,
the loneliness you feel at that moment
is the scariest.
I know it too.
The fear of being on the stage alone.
Well, you're on stage
with the other members all the time.
Are you telling us to debut
without Han-gyul?
I can't do that! I'll never do that!
A stand-in will always be a stand-in.
That's why I always wanted
to have my own band.
I wanted to...
find my place.
That's why I needed someone
who could believe in me.
With you, I can make that happen.
You're someone I believe in
and someone who believes in my music.
-Hello, In-ho.
-Hello.
-You're good.
-When did it become so late?
-You came to practice, right?
-Yes.
Soo-yeon asked me to come out on time.
I'll be in trouble.
-Hey, take your time.
-Okay.
You're working hard so late.
I wasn't practicing just now.
I was just playing.
-What?
-I was just playing around.
-You play drums to have fun, right?
-What?
Don't you play drums because it's fun?
-Kyu-sun.
-Hello!
See you.
-What's with him?
-What?
Oh, he didn't want to bother us.
Surely, you're a professional band.
Many people will continue to watch you
and take interest in your future.
-Are you okay?
-You keep making mistake--
Let's quit this.
-What? Why so suddenly?
-I think it's time to quit.
We haven't been getting good comments.
We're not doing this to hear good things.
I liked the negative comments.
At least it was for our real performance.
It's to risky to go on
with that reason only.
What if we get caught
for having others play instead?
What if we end up ruining Crude Play
just to get feedback on our performance?
Who will it be for then?
-That's...
-Yoo Si-hyun, don't you agree?
In-ho's right. We might have to quit this.
But shouldn't we at least
master the current song?
It's our new song after all.
For the last time.
Okay?
Gosh, how can this kid be this mean?
Dododo0818?
Why don't you write a more accurate
comment if you're not a moron?
Wow, you sure know
how to write nasty comments.
-You're scary.
-That's not it.
I'm just...
Will you be sad if we delete our account?
You won't be able to write nasty comments.
Do you expect me to laugh at such a joke?
Can't you just laugh?
I'm in a bad mood today.
Did something happen?
I'm just embarrassed.
When we were asked
if we played the song ourselves,
I couldn't answer.
Everything is fake...
except for our appearance.
I've never done that.
I've never written
nasty comment about you.
I know.
I know you're the only one
who writes supportive comments.
Pardon?
I remembered your email address.
Only one letter was different from mine.
Mine was ys0303 and yours was ysy0303.
Can you just stay where you are?
I'll come to you.
I'll try hard to come to you.
Can you just stay where you are?
How should I give it to her?
Search MUSH&Co.
I'm so mad.

TOP SONGWRITER PLANS
TO PRODUCE THE NEW BAND, MUSH&CO
EXCEPTIONAL SPEEDY DEBUT
WHO IS MUSH&CO?
This article is about us, right?
Wow, I should call my mom right now.
Hey, this is about you guys.
Are you debuting?
Yes, I think so.
-Are you guys celebrities now?
-I'm so jealous.
-You guys are so cool.
-This is unbelievable.
-What are you thinking?
-What do you mean?
-I'm thinking about making money.
-So-rim...
-Are you trying to destroy the new artist?
-My top priority is always selling.
If you rush things like this,
you could ruin in.
I know you liked the idea of genius but
if you mention how fast they made a debut,
people's expectations will be too high.
-They can exceed those expectations.
-That's easy to say.
-How are they supposed to do that?
-I'm not too sure.
How about if they get a song
from a genius songwriter?
SERENDIE CHOOSES MAYBAY
AND MUSH&CO FOR THEIR NEW MODELS
NEW ARTIST MUSH&CO
CHOSEN TO MODEL
Yoon So-rim.
I'm making my debut.
I know, I saw the news.
-Congratulations.
-Will it be okay?
What do you mean?
A single album costs 12,000 won.
You can buy one kilo
of mushrooms with that.
But can I really sing a song that people
would want more than mushrooms?
You can do it.
And I can make that happen.
I want to write your debut song.
The song is already written.
Listen to it.
I'm confident because I wrote it for you.
You will listen to it, right?
WAITING FOR YOU
As long as you're with me...
No matter what,
I won't leave you alone.
With you, I can make it happen.
You're someone I believe in
and someone who believes in my music.
I can't listen to it.
-What?
-I already promised Chan-young.
I promised that I'd work with Chan-young
for the next three years.
I promised I'd do my very best.
I promised I'd run to him
whenever he called me.
So I can't listen to this song.
That's so foolish of you to say.
You didn't sign a contract or anything.
It was just between you two, wasn't it?
But Chan-young was sincere.
I can't just break that promise.
Again, there's no bass player. It sucks.
You guys have no talent,
so you can't even play bass.
Where do you get the confidence?
Stop ruining the original song...
-Thank you, Kyu-sun.
-No, problem. I should do this.
-Are you sure you're free?
-What?
-I can be later for hakwon.
-I see.
Kids were all going crazy
about your debut at school.
I was sad I couldn't even talk to you.
-I see, you were sad...
-Yes.
Kyu-sun, do you want to go out with me?
-What?
-Let's go out.
-Why would you...
-What do you mean?
It's because I like you.
-Good job.
-Thank you.
-President Yoo, what brings you here?
-You seem busy.
Of course, you're busy getting ready
for their speedy debut.
-You came all the way here to say that?
-No.
You think I'd come by over such a matter?

This is why I told you,
before you try something new,
you need to pay attention
in managing your current artists.
What will you do now?
I already promised Chan-young.
I promised that I'd work with Chan-young
for the next three years.
Father.
Kang Han-gyul.
Long time no see.
Stop trying to differentiate
real music from fake.
You're out.
It's been five years,
but you still treat me like an outsider.
Write a song for Yuna.
If you do, I'll give you So-rim.
How could you possibly think that way?
-What?
-I promised I'd work with you.
I'll repay you for choosing me.
So don't try to butt in anymore.
Why do you look so mad?
Why did you do that?
-You live around here?
-He hates me.
But I really like him.
I know a person like that too.
Your debut song has finally been chosen.
Excited? Do you wanna listen to it?
Subtitle translation by Claire Machado
with this arrangement.
They're going on a survival show
with this awful song plus lip-syncing?
Let's not make them into a joke.
It was President Yoo's idea.
I can't do anything about it.
They'll drop out for sure.
I guess you have a lot of spare time.
-What's that?
-I rearranged the song.
Use this song.
I'll play the piano
instead of the session musicians.
You too, Seo Chan-young.
We need your bass.
Enough with your nonsense.
We're done with the rehearsal.
You think this is a joke?
You have to try your best, at least.
Han-gyul is right.
You won't have a shot
if you go out like this.
What would you do?
Are you going to let yourself be ignored?
Or are you going to show who you are?
This BTBC's show aims to debut trainees.
A survival audition program...
-Wow, there they are!
-It's So-rim!
-Hey, be quiet!
-There they are!
He's my son!
A trio band consist of Yoon So-rim,
Baek Jin-woo and Lee Kyu-sun.
They are the Bong Trio!
Music start!
What's going on?
What are you doing!
Music is not playing.
Please check the sound.
Music Director!
Director!
Hey, be quiet.
-I can't hear anything.
-Turn the volume up.
Music Director,
-what are you doing?
-There's nothing wrong down here.
Check the sound now.
Sing.
Sing, Yoon So-rim.
These days
you seem so worried
She's singing.
Turn on their microphones!
Hey, turn on their microphones. Hurry.
Wait, who's that?
Is that Seo Chan-young?
Gosh, turn on all the microphones.
Actually
You laugh a lot
Even before anyone can get worried
You brush it off and get up
You're going to greet me
With a bright smile
It's not going to be easy...
We need to talk later.
Becoming an adult
My goodness.
Everyone feels the same as you
Let's have strength
Go back to you
Sing a new song of hope like this
Be excited for the world
That's waiting for you
Let's run again
When things are hard...
-Hey, isn't that Seo Chan-young?
-Really?
Just sing a song of joy like this
Confidently
Someday, today will all become a memory
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
She's really good!
Have strength, my friend
It's not easy
Becoming an adult
Everyone feels the same as you
Let's have strength
Go back to you
Sing a new song of hope like this
Be excited for the world
That's waiting for you
Let's run again
When things are hard
And you want to give up
Just sing a song of joy like this
Confidently
Someday, today will all become a memory
Give thanks, remember
And have strength, my friend
Give thanks
Remember
Remember
Give thanks
Remember
Remember
Applause!
You did so well!
Good work. You exceeded my expectation.
I'm sorry we lost, CEO Choi.
The winner was decided
from the beginning.
That's why I'm not going
to worry about it
and I don't want you to either, okay?
-Let's go and eat dinner.
-Okay.
Seo Chan-young, do you have time?
No, I have to go for a shoot.
That's right. It's your comeback.
Good work today.
Eat lots of delicious food today.
-I'll call you later.
-Okay.
Let's go eat.
Kyu-sun, we got here pretty fast.
Han-gyul, thanks for the ride.
You didn't have to.
No, Soo-yeon asked me to.
The taxi fare wasn't even that much.
We'll get going.
Please make sure So-rim gets home safe.
Hey, why would he do that?
Hey, let go!
You did a great job today.
You must have been nervous.
I wasn't nervous.
I was confident that it was a song
I could sing well.
You told me your music is sincere.
I'm sorry...
for lying about who I am.
But I'll tell you everything.
I'll tell you anything you want to know.
Don't say that.
That makes me want
to ask you everything.
Even things that are
useless to ask at this point.
Like what?
For instance...
I want to know what kind
of relationships you've had.
I wonder what kind of person she was,
how much you liked her...
and whether you were her first love.
I have so many stupid questions.
And I'm not curious because
I want to know the answers.
Then what should we do?
I'll do whatever you want.
-Please answer one question then.
-Only one?
Yes, I only have one question.
Even if the lyrics aren't about me,
you thought about me when you wrote it.
Do your songs contain
your current feeling?
No, not at all.
Then that's good.
That's all I wanted to know.
-I'll go in now.
-Okay.
See you.
What the hell did you do?
Were you trying to screw us up?
Why are you getting mad at me?
It was an accident--
Accident? Let's just say that it was.
But Seo Chan-young
happens to be on stage at that time
and even played a completely
different song from rehearsals.
It looks like you did something crazy
for the good of your new artists.
You almost caused
a huge broadcast mistake!
-Do you think I'll let this go?
-What's going on?
Hello, President Yoo.
What did CEO do so wrong
that your voice is ringing
throughout the entire building?
-I don't like it.
-It's not that--
This must be because
of the mishap earlier.
But why are you blaming him
for your staff's mistake?
BTBC, WHO Entertainment
and SOLE Music N
are all part of WHO Media Group.
You shouldn't behave this way.
You're right. I'll get going.
I have a meeting to attend.
-Okay, good work today.
-Okay.
-Thank you for your help.
-No need to thank me.
I'm not too fond of anyone
stepping on my employees.
I liked the arrangement.
Who arranged it?
The kids reacted fast--
Wow, hearing your excuses,
I guess it wasn't your idea.
Then, was it Chan-young?
Wow, he even knows
how to pull tricks like this?
I've never seen this side of him before.
CEO Choi.
I hope to hear about Seo Chan-young
and that girl's relationship sometime.
Hey! You traitor!
You played with them without us?
-Are you Yoo Si-hyun?
-I'm not!
He's a traitor!
WHO'S THE ROOKIE WHO PLAYED
WITH SEO CHAN-YOUNG?
Chan-young, I think
they became a hit because of you.
-What was that?
-I told you not to drink too much.
Okay, fine.
You told me to drink!
Why are you changing words?
-Are you all right?
-Did you settle the fight?
-What do you mean?
-With So-rim.
-I guess.
-But did you win?
This isn't a war.
There are no winners and losers.
It's a war.
If it's not a war
between men and women, what is?
When the other person
has no desire to win.
-When the other person...
-Yes?
...has no desire to win...
I can't win either.
Are you drunk?
-He's drunk, right?
-Yes, he's gone.
-You don't get it.
-I think you're just drunk.
So-rim! We saw you on TV yesterday!
Yoon So-rim!
-Yoon So-rim!
-Hey, be quiet!
She's a celebrity.
You were so good at singing.
I bragged to my friends about you.
You were so amazing! What do we do?
Hey, how do you know Chan-young?
Can we get his autograph?
-Me too!
-Me too!
Me first!
You see--
Yoon So-rim...
-Yoon So-rim!
-Stop it, guys.
Yoon So-rim!
Hey!
What on earth are you guys
doing right now?
Hey, Yoon So-rim!
I saw you on TV yesterday.
You're such a great singer.
I knew you'd succeed like this.
I was so happy to see you on TV.
-Sir.
-Yes?
-Do you want a picture with her?
-Yes, that's right!
-Get out of the frame!
-One, two, three.
Everyone get out of the picture.
One, two, three.
You can do it, Trio Band!
Thank you.
I don't know if I should accept this.
I wanted to congratulate you.
You looked pretty on TV.
No, I looked like a squid
next to the celebrities there.
No way.
But do you know
Seo Chan-young personally?
Well, we're in the same company.
-Is that it?
-Pardon?
Isn't it amazing that Seo Chan-young
played bass for you?
I'm sure he must've been really busy
because of his comeback.
How close are you?
You see...
-Yes?
-Hold on.
-Se-jung, go in without me.
-Why?
-I have to take this call.
-Who is it?
-What?
-Why are you hiding it from me?
Answer it in front of me.
Is it someone from your company?
Seo Chan-young?
No, it's not like that.
I think it is.
You wouldn't hide it otherwise.
-Hey, let me see. Let me--
-What are you doing?
MY LOVELY GRANDMA
-I told you.
-You should've shown me then!
You could've just shown me.
What was all this fuss?
What's wrong with her?
THE UNEXPECTED TURN AROUND
ON PRODUCE 20
Wow, I'm so happy.
CEO Choi, their video has twice as many
views and comments than the others.
And it's trending on many social medias.
Chan-young playing the bass
helped them a lot.
Also the broadcast mistake
was a great marketing for them!
They're so lucky.
It's like someone's paving the road
for them to debut.
Hurry up and get them ready
for their debut before the hype dies.
Yes, I will.
-That's it for today.
-Okay.
CEO Choi, the program is going
to release the songs from the show.
-They want to know who arranged it.
-Isn't that K?
Should I give them K's name?
I hope to hear about Seo Chan-young
and that girl's relationship sometime.
Han-gyul.
Do I owe you guys rice all the time?
I'm always making you hangover soup.
But why are you completely fine?
It's more like you guys
are bad at drinking.
-Hey, are you okay?
-This is delicious.
Yes, Joon-seok. I'm with the guys.
They have practice? Okay, I got it.
Hey, Joon-seok's coming soon.
Hurry and get ready.
I look handsome no matter what.
Do you call yourself a celebrity?
He's here already?
They're not ready...
-You're here too?
-What brings you here?
Good. I don't have
to tell you separately anymore.
-Did you eat?
-Yes.
A CLEVER ARRANGEMENT
WITH A FRESH VOICE
THE UNEXPECTED TURN AROUND
ON PRODUCE 20
Are you telling me that it wasn't
Seo Chan-young who arranged it
but it was Kang Han-gyul?
Yes, it looks like they had a small
argument before the show.
But I think they decided
to follow Kang Han-gyul's idea.
Kang Han-gyul arranged a song
for a new artist that no one knows?
And it wasn't even agreed upon?
Yes, but the strange thing is...
their staff put Seo Chan-young's
name down for the arrangement.
The song that they sang on the show
will be released this week.
We're going to put Chan-young's
name down for the arrangement.
What do you mean?
Han-gyul arranged it...
It looks like we planned out
if we say K arranged it.
Everyone thinks
it was a broadcast mistake.
And if your name is uses,
they'll get more attention.
Your fans will go wild.
But even then...
Han-gyul, aren't you against this?
I'm okay with it.
I never wanted to be credited
for the arrangement anyway.
Since Han-gyul agreed,
we'll go ahead with it.
I don't like it.
I'm not happy about stealing
something that I didn't arrange.
Why?
Wouldn't it be great to get a song
from Kang Han-gyul, whom you admire?
What did you say?
I'm just kidding.
I want you to be understanding
because this is for So-rim.
It's just an arrangement
so don't be too sensitive about it.
You didn't come here
to ask for my opinion.
You came here to let me know.
Do what you want.
Hey, Chan-young!
Chan-young!
Hey, where are you going?
-Did you have to say it that way?
-No matter how I put it,
Chan-young wouldn't have been happy.
-Hey!
-What's wrong?
Kang Han-gyul!
Chan-young.
Ignore what CEO Choi said.
He's not doing this
because he looks down on you.
-It's because you're better off--
-I know.
I know I'm easy to take advantage of,
so stop with the excuses.
Gosh, the mood turns gloomy
whenever CEO Choi gets involved.
Hey, I get why Chan-young is pissed.
He's playing with both of you.
Why did you say it was okay?
You should've said no!
I'm actually okay with it.
CEO Choi is right.
It's good for So-rim
if we release it under Chan-young's name.
The public will be more curious too.
Are you telling me
you're doing this for So-rim?
-Is that weird?
-Yes, it's really weird.
I don't know.
When So-rim is involved...
I want to be a better person
aside from in music.
-What do we do?
-He's at it again.
-I don't know.
-Let him be.
What should we do with him?
These days
You seem so worried
I guess you don't really know what to do
Your song that was always with me
Is the store closed yet?
Hello?
-You answered right away.
-You always call me at this hour.
I see, did you wait for my call?
Hey, no way!
I just wanted to get our call over with.
I'm glad the cell phone was invented.
I can call you whenever I miss you.
The speed of sound
is the second fastest after light.
-No.
-Pardon?
It's not the second fastest.
The time it takes for it to travel--
Did you major in science?
-Yes.
-I see.
We discovered a huge difference
between you and me.
But it won't change anything.
It sounds like you're more determined.
I just realized something.
I can't stop my feelings
just because I want to.
That's why I decided
to nurture those feelings more.
That's why I wanted to ask...
If you have time...
What are you doing this weekend?
I'm not doing anything.
-Do you want to meet up?
-What for?
Just because.
I want to see you.
Yes, see you then.
I'll see you this weekend.
-Hang up.
-You hang up first.
-You can hang up first.
-No, you do it.
Okay.
Yes!
The 30th anniversary special promotion?
Yes, Yuna was our main model
for the last five years
but this time, we want
to employ some more artists
to hold this commemorative promotion.
We'll make promotional materials
and release a single, too.
You'll re-sign with Yuna this year, right?
Well, that's something that needs to be
agreed upon within our company.
Anyway, CEO Choi.
Do you think we can get
Crude Play for our commercial?
Our company keeps
talking about Crude Play.
-It's hard for me to say...
-How about a collaboration?
-You and Crude Play?
-Yes.
-I think it's worth considering.
-Yes, we could do that.
But do you really think you can get Yuna
and Crude Play to do this collaboration?
If I put my heart into it.
But if Yuna can't be re-signed.
We can't let another group
from the same company steal the deal.
But this is going to be difficult.
The truth is, we got a proposal
from WHO Entertainment.
I appreciate your help.
CEO Choi is here.
I see you're busy, so I'll make it short.
I heard that the new group,
Maybay will take Yuna's commercial deal.
We're considering it.
We decided to appoint a new group.
Do you mean...
-the kids from Produce 20?
-It hasn't been decided yet.
Speaking of new groups,
how's that girl doing?
Yoon So-rim.
Can you give Yoon So-rim to me?
I don't need the other two.
I just want her.
-What are you--
-I'm interested.
After what you and Han-gyul did for her...
The kind of men surrounding a girl
is a good indicator of her worth.
Why? You even changed the name
of the person who arranged the song.
You tried to hide Han-gyul from me,
but are you disappointed I found out?
We did it because
it'll be better for So-rim,
and Han-gyul agreed.
Anyway, if you hand her over,
I'll work on letting
Yuna take the commercial.
If you take her...
are you going to make sure she debuts?
That's such a meaningless question.
You know it won't be easy for you
to let her debut in this situation either.
You're not thinking
of choosing that girl...
over Yuna, are you?
Women are really delicate.
Yuna is very sensitive these days.
But if the commercial
she worked for five years is taken away...
it'll be hard for her.
-Grandma!
-Yes?
Look.
Do you like this one or this one?
I like the other one.
-The other one?
-Yes.
Gosh, what do I do?
I look good in pink
but Han-gyul likes blue.
Does that mean I should wear blue?
If I wear blue,
do you think he'll like me more?
Gosh, stop making a big deal!
What's so great about him?
He's handsome and good with dumplings.
What else?
He's a great pianist too.
But what else does he have to offer?
But I want to look good for him.
You look good no matter what you wear,
so don't worry.
If he doesn't think so,
bring him to me. I'll punish him.
What?
-But what should I wear?
-Wear this one!
-What should we do?
-Pardon?
We should do something since we met up.
What should we do?
My bad, I didn't make any plans.
Do you want to eat?
Do you want to go to a cafe?
I'm just kidding.
-Let's do something special.
-Like what?
I don't want to eat or go to a cafe.
I want to do what you like.
I want to do what you like.
That's what I want to do.
What I like to do?
Where are we going?
We're not going anywhere.
We're just riding the bus.
This bus?
This is what I like to do.
I like to hear people's voices
in the bus.
-But no one's here.
-No, there are...
Is this weird?
No, I like it. I like it a lot.
But what do you do
with the voices you hear?
When I hear a voice I like,
I write a song that suits that voice.
After only writing Crude Play songs,
I got used to Si-hyun's voice.
So it's hard to have a broader view.
This helps me a lot.
Then, let me know
when you hear a voice you like.
Sure.
-What's this?
-What?
-No, I'm just...
-What's this?
You can rest your head on it.
What do you mean?
Something like this?
Is it this?
I'll do it, then.
We'll take the next question.
Reporter Yeo Si-yun
from Chun Ah Sports.
As soon as your album came out,
it claimed the top on the music charts.
How do you feel? Are you bored
because you hit the top so often?
I thought we might feel that way.
We're grateful and happy
that people still like our songs.
We'll take the next question.
Reporter Choi Kyu-seok
from S Star Daze.
I'm Choi Kyu-seok.
You actually played the songs
yourselves, correct?
Excuse me?
Well, you must be busy
with your tight schedule.
When would you possibly have time
to practice to play like top musicians?
I was curious.
That's right.
We know what our fans expect.
So we're always trying our best.
Wow, Si-hyun knows
how to do interviews.
You're not answering my question.
What I want to hear is Yes or No.
Yes, we play the instruments
when we record.
It was such an obvious question,
so we didn't know your intention.
We weren't sure what to say, right?
Surely you're a professional band.
Many people will continue to watch you
and take interest in your future.
Thank you.
That was an interesting question.
Thank you, Reporter Choi Kyu-seok.
We'll take the next question.
-Is it good?
-Pardon?
You look like you're enjoying it.
That's because
I haven't had my lunch snack.
-You have a snack regularly?
-Yes.
After a meal, I have to wait
several hours until the next meal.
I get hungry.
Wow, it's Crude Play!
Wow, Chan-young looks so cool.
Gosh, why does my back hurt
all of a sudden?
I can't see the TV.
Well, I need to stretch...
I can't see, so move to the side.
WITH HIS AMAZING STAGE PRESENCE
You see him every day
when you go to work.
Why are you so happy to see him?
I'm his fan. I've liked him
ever since he debuted.
You just don't know
what they're really like.
If you find out
what they're really like...
you won't like them at all.
How come?
We named our band Crude Play
because we weren't that glamorous.
Hey!
We looked up simple words in a dictionary.
Crude Play.
We don't play seriously.
We put how out
the word crude beforehand.
-I haven't heard that before.
-Pardon?
What it was like when you were
still a member of Crude Play.
I want to see Crude Play with you in it.
Now they have Chan-young.
Of course with Chan-young.
You can have two bass players.
Well, I'm not sure
if that's going to happen.
-It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
-Yes.
Sorry.
Please watch out!
Seriously...
-Are you okay?
-I'm okay.
Be careful.
So-rim, your shoes are untied.
Oh, right.
You have to double-knot them
so they don't come undone.
Like this.
Oh, my goodness.
What do I do?
I'll go first.
Hey, Yoon So-rim!
Your mom was sad
that she wasn't invited to this.
I already saw her last week.
It's hard to spend time
with you alone like this.
Hyun-joo and Jae-sun
have been waiting for their turn.
By the way, Jin-hyuk will join us.
CEO Choi Jin-hyuk?
He's doing well with SOLE Music N.
It's not bad to have dinner
and encourage him.
SOLE Music N is possible because
WHO Entertainment is behind them.
If you're too nice to your employees,
they get confused about their positions.
Rather than controlling them
as your puppets, you should know...
how to make them work for you.
It's the fine string
that controls the puppet.
If you use force, the string will break.
-It's been a while, Chairman Yoo.
-Welcome.
Have a seat.
I'm counting on you, CEO Choi.
I think spotting talent is a skill.
It's always difficult to read people
and easy to lose them.
Also, the entertainment management field
is all about people
and their dreams.
I agree with you.
So I've been working on
new artists for our future.
New artists?
There haven't been any
since Crude Play?
Yes, President Yoo gave us
a good opportunity on BTBC.
They gained some publicity on the show.
I guess you could tell
they were good, too?
Yes, they look relatable
and have a great vocalist.
If they debut, we will see a reaction.
-Chairman Yoo, I'll pour you a glass.
-Sure.
You rented the whole cafe again?
I needed a place
where we could talk privately.
I didn't ask you here for a private matter
so don't be too sensitive.
I want to do a collaboration project...
with Crude Play.
What?
But you write all of Crude Play's songs.
So I thought it'd be right
to discuss it with you first.
We have a history,
but we belong to the same agency
and this can benefit us both.
I refuse.
What?
I don't care if you do
a collaboration project with Crude Play.
But I just can't write that song for you.
You said...
you liked my voice.
You said you loved the way I sang.
Didn't you say that as a songwriter?
Yes, I did.
But it's different now.
You're really cruel.
Do you have to crush me like this?
Is it because my voice has gone bad?
-That's why you can't write me a song?
-That's not it.
Then what is it?
There's only one girl I want
to sing my songs.
I'm too busy to write songs
for others now.
I'm sorry.
Who is that girl?
I have no reason to tell you.
I'm becoming more and more
disappointed in you.
You tried to come up
with such a poor trick.
If you acted that way,
you thought I'd be surprised?
I don't know what you mean.
What do I get if I embarrass you?
How much authority do you think
you'll get if you go around me?
Chairman Yoo promised me one thing
when he gave me a new label.
That I'd decide on the artists.
Do you know why?
While we're wasting our time
over unnecessary decision making,
we might lose a gem
we can't afford to lose.
But I've regularly reported
these unnecessary decisions to you
as a favor, because
you're the daughter of Chairman Yoo.
Is that so?
So instead of unnecessary decision making
I should get involved
in managing your new artist.
The main models for the commercial
will be my artists, Maybay.
And I will recommend your new artists,
Yoo So-rim's band, for seasonal models.
-That's not necessary...
-What do you mean?
This is such a golden opportunity.
You're not going to turn it down, are you?
Of course, it'll be harsh for the one
whose commercial gets taken away.
But it's no big deal to you
that a girl is heartbroken, right?
Oh, my goodness!
Why did I do that?
What's wrong with me.
I must be crazy. Seriously...
Did you eat something wrong?
Grandma, I must be crazy.
-What do I do?
-Are you going to stay out here?
Come in.
WAITING FOR YOU
Did you do your homework?
Coming up with your band name?
Of course, we did.
What is it?
-Here it is.
-MUSH&Co?
It doesn't sound bad.
What does it mean?
Since there are three of us
we decided to name our band
with things that characterize us.
So-rim's hair looks like a mushroom,
so there's Mush.
-I represent rice.
-Why rice?
As you can tell, I love rice.
Koreans get strength from rice.
-What about you, Jin-woo?
-I'm a rich and handsome guy.
Fine, I get it.
So what is the reason for the final name?
Mushroom, rice, rich and handsome guy
would be too long for a name,
so we decided to keep one
and combine them.
So yours is used
since you're the only girl?
No. Rock, paper, scissors!
That's how I won.
Guys, this is not a joke.
I like it. It looks like you came up
with it spontaneously.
Same as your concept.
You're completely natural on stage.
That's it for today.
-Look into registering their band name.
-Okay.
-Good work.
-Bye.
Thank you.
Wow, we're now MUSH&Co now.
CEO Choi.
Is it okay not to tell the kids
their debut article is going up this week?
I usually like to surprise people.
If I tell them beforehand,
it won't be as fun.
Once they read the article,
it will hit them.
Chan-young will read about it overseas.
Chan-young...
once the article comes up,
he'll read about it.
When I lie down in the tiny tub
There is a very small snail
Wouldn't it be great to get a song
from Kang Han-gyul, whom you admire?
It whispered in my ear
Someday
One day...
Hello, Chan-young.
You answered right away.
I was delighted to get your call.
It's been a while.
I'm sorry. I've been busy lately.
I didn't mean for you to feel sorry.
Are you done with your schedule?
Yes.
We have a photo shoot
overseas starting tomorrow.
We ended things early.
We're on our way to the company.
I'm still practicing here.
This late?
This is my first time coming
to an empty concert hall.
-Are you serious?
-Yes.
I like it because it feels like
we rented the whole place out.
It's very quiet, too.
For some reason...
it feels more quiet than usual
when it's empty.
What is it?
Am I wrong?
Am I just too used
to hearing applause in here?
-Something seems weird.
-What does?
When I'm here alone,
this place doesn't seem scary.
But why does it feel lonely and scary
when this place is full of people?
People realize they're alone
when they're with others.
Among so many people,
when you realize
there isn't anyone at your side,
the loneliness you feel at that moment
is the scariest.
I know it too.
The fear of being on the stage alone.
Well, you're on stage
with the other members all the time.
Are you telling us to debut
without Han-gyul?
I can't do that! I'll never do that!
A stand-in will always be a stand-in.
That's why I always wanted
to have my own band.
I wanted to...
find my place.
That's why I needed someone
who could believe in me.
With you, I can make that happen.
You're someone I believe in
and someone who believes in my music.
-Hello, In-ho.
-Hello.
-You're good.
-When did it become so late?
-You came to practice, right?
-Yes.
Soo-yeon asked me to come out on time.
I'll be in trouble.
-Hey, take your time.
-Okay.
You're working hard so late.
I wasn't practicing just now.
I was just playing.
-What?
-I was just playing around.
-You play drums to have fun, right?
-What?
Don't you play drums because it's fun?
-Kyu-sun.
-Hello!
See you.
-What's with him?
-What?
Oh, he didn't want to bother us.
Surely, you're a professional band.
Many people will continue to watch you
and take interest in your future.
-Are you okay?
-You keep making mistake--
Let's quit this.
-What? Why so suddenly?
-I think it's time to quit.
We haven't been getting good comments.
We're not doing this to hear good things.
I liked the negative comments.
At least it was for our real performance.
It's to risky to go on
with that reason only.
What if we get caught
for having others play instead?
What if we end up ruining Crude Play
just to get feedback on our performance?
Who will it be for then?
-That's...
-Yoo Si-hyun, don't you agree?
In-ho's right. We might have to quit this.
But shouldn't we at least
master the current song?
It's our new song after all.
For the last time.
Okay?
Gosh, how can this kid be this mean?
Dododo0818?
Why don't you write a more accurate
comment if you're not a moron?
Wow, you sure know
how to write nasty comments.
-You're scary.
-That's not it.
I'm just...
Will you be sad if we delete our account?
You won't be able to write nasty comments.
Do you expect me to laugh at such a joke?
Can't you just laugh?
I'm in a bad mood today.
Did something happen?
I'm just embarrassed.
When we were asked
if we played the song ourselves,
I couldn't answer.
Everything is fake...
except for our appearance.
I've never done that.
I've never written
nasty comment about you.
I know.
I know you're the only one
who writes supportive comments.
Pardon?
I remembered your email address.
Only one letter was different from mine.
Mine was ys0303 and yours was ysy0303.
Can you just stay where you are?
I'll come to you.
I'll try hard to come to you.
Can you just stay where you are?
How should I give it to her?
Search MUSH&Co.
I'm so mad.
Search MUSH&Co.
SOLE MUSIC N NEW BAND,
MUSH&CO MAKES A DEBUT
TOP SONGWRITER PLANS
TO PRODUCE THE NEW BAND, MUSH&CO
EXCEPTIONAL SPEEDY DEBUT
WHO IS MUSH&CO?
This article is about us, right?
Wow, I should call my mom right now.
Hey, this is about you guys.
Are you debuting?
Yes, I think so.
-Are you guys celebrities now?
-I'm so jealous.
-You guys are so cool.
-This is unbelievable.
-What are you thinking?
-What do you mean?
-I'm thinking about making money.
-So-rim...
-Are you trying to destroy the new artist?
-My top priority is always selling.
If you rush things like this,
you could ruin in.
I know you liked the idea of genius but
if you mention how fast they made a debut,
people's expectations will be too high.
-They can exceed those expectations.
-That's easy to say.
-How are they supposed to do that?
-I'm not too sure.
How about if they get a song
from a genius songwriter?
SERENDIE CHOOSES MAYBAY
AND MUSH&CO FOR THEIR NEW MODELS
NEW ARTIST MUSH&CO
CHOSEN TO MODEL
Yoon So-rim.
I'm making my debut.
I know, I saw the news.
-Congratulations.
-Will it be okay?
What do you mean?
A single album costs 12,000 won.
You can buy one kilo
of mushrooms with that.
But can I really sing a song that people
would want more than mushrooms?
You can do it.
And I can make that happen.
I want to write your debut song.
The song is already written.
Listen to it.
I'm confident because I wrote it for you.
You will listen to it, right?
WAITING FOR YOU
As long as you're with me...
No matter what,
I won't leave you alone.
With you, I can make it happen.
You're someone I believe in
and someone who believes in my music.
I can't listen to it.
-What?
-I already promised Chan-young.
I promised that I'd work with Chan-young
for the next three years.
I promised I'd do my very best.
I promised I'd run to him
whenever he called me.
So I can't listen to this song.
That's so foolish of you to say.
You didn't sign a contract or anything.
It was just between you two, wasn't it?
But Chan-young was sincere.
I can't just break that promise.
Again, there's no bass player. It sucks.
You guys have no talent,
so you can't even play bass.
Where do you get the confidence?
Stop ruining the original song...
-Thank you, Kyu-sun.
-No, problem. I should do this.
-Are you sure you're free?
-What?
-I can be later for hakwon.
-I see.
Kids were all going crazy
about your debut at school.
I was sad I couldn't even talk to you.
-I see, you were sad...
-Yes.
Kyu-sun, do you want to go out with me?
-What?
-Let's go out.
-Why would you...
-What do you mean?
It's because I like you.
-Good job.
-Thank you.
-President Yoo, what brings you here?
-You seem busy.
Of course, you're busy getting ready
for their speedy debut.
-You came all the way here to say that?
-No.
You think I'd come by over such a matter?

This is why I told you,
before you try something new,
you need to pay attention
in managing your current artists.
What will you do now?
I already promised Chan-young.
I promised that I'd work with Chan-young
for the next three years.
Father.
Kang Han-gyul.
Long time no see.
Stop trying to differentiate
real music from fake.
You're out.
It's been five years,
but you still treat me like an outsider.
Write a song for Yuna.
If you do, I'll give you So-rim.
How could you possibly think that way?
-What?
-I promised I'd work with you.
I'll repay you for choosing me.
So don't try to butt in anymore.
Why do you look so mad?
Why did you do that?
-You live around here?
-He hates me.
But I really like him.
I know a person like that too.
Your debut song has finally been chosen.
Excited? Do you wanna listen to it?
