Wait, wait!
What are you doing? We're going to be late.
Wait just a bit, please.
God Almighty,
let my potential overflow.
Please give me a miracle and let me pass the audition!
What if one of you can not make it, what should we do then?
If I am eliminated because I don't have sufficient talent,
then Hye Mi must be eliminated together with me.
The one qualified is not Go Hye Mi, but Yoon Baek Hee.
What?
I'm begging you. Please save me.
- Haha. - You really are shameless.
I must be accepted here.
Why?
Looking at your results, you should have no problem in getting into a normal all girls high school.
I must be accepted here.
I...
What do I have to do?
If I have any prejudices, then I will change them.
If I am lacking in anything,
I will work harder.
Please, I beg you to accept me.
I am willing to do anything, just to get in this school.
Don't beg. That's worse than a third-class person's behavior.
I didn't kneel down to beg you just now.
If not, then what did I just see?
I just...
just...
just wanted to have a look at your nostrils.
Haha. Looking at his nostrils.
Can you really see his nostrils?
I will prove to you one day that your decision is wrong.
No, I will prove to you...
that his decision is right.
You're laughable.
Student! Are you alright?!
Student, please get up!
Better now?
Are you alright?
Please hand it to me.
This is Go Hye Mi's application form.
I know.
I was driven out of the house.
My mother told me that, while she was pregnant, she dreamt of a cockraoch.
She ignored me as she thought I was the 'cockroach'.
She said that I'm defective.
Really?
But, isn't it sad that the "long-living cockroach" is a natural treasure?
Then, didn't she dream of a good thing?
Mmm...
I...
was selected because I have the talent, right?
Come here.
What is this?
I don't know. Maybe a good luck charm?
Why don't you try to figure out what it means to you.
Then, I...
am not the bad character.
Thank you!
I will do my very best.
Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!
Time for the next student.
A 'cockroach' isn't a natural treasure.
The phrase is a "long-living beetle is a national treasure".
Ah, is that so?
The cockroach is just an insect, a very common insect...
Is that so...
Student Number 1290, Jo In Sung.
Number 1290.
Student 1290.
Here!
Are you done yet?
I'm going crazy.
At such an important time, something like this has to crop up.
Quickly fix it and come out.
I can't. It keeps leaking.
This is really embarrassing.
Buy me 5 more minutes. No, no. 3 minutes!
Student 1290!
I will go out when I'm finished here.
Mr. Kang.
He's taking a long time. Call the next student in.
I'm trying to organize the students outside, but there's someone acting like a gangster out there and causing trouble.
Gang members?
I'll go think of a solution to this problem.
Don't block me!
I told you not to block me!
Hyun Shi Hyuk.
If you want to delay the audition times,
why not dance?
Who are you?
Why don't you dance?
I asked who the heck you were!
Did you waste enough time? Did you?
- Go away. - Why? What happened, Jin Guk?
Hey, you!
Can you help me leave this school?
As long as I can leave the school, it's good.
Hey, I'm begging you!
I couldn't hear you properly. What did you just say?
I didn't say anything.
Weren't you asking me to help you?
When did I say that?! I didn't say anything like that.
Well, if you didn't say anything, then forget it.
Hey! Get on!
Not going to.
I don't ask twice.
Hey! Grab my waist!
How much longer do I have to wait?
Number 1298. Kim Pil Suk.
What is this?
It looks like a fresh shelled shrimp sushi.
Do you plan to do the audition like this?
Yes.
Do you really have such little confidence in your looks?
The picture is also very blurry.
Yes, it is a little.
Your clothes are a little inappropriate.
Either you take them off, or you leave.
Can't I audition in this attire?
- Of course not. - Why not?
Start singing.
Let's listen first.
Okay.
Please save me.
Hey.
Let go!
At least, return my helmet before you go.
Let go!
Aish. How embarrassing!
You have finished singing. Please take off your costume.
Did I qualify or not?
Tell me first before I take it off.
Are you negotiating with us? Quickly take it off!
I'm sorry.
Every time someone looks like that, they can sing very well.
It's very sad.
God is fair.
Looks like you admire her.
Yes. Looks like you, Minister, are not satisfied with her appearance.
To eliminate her would be a pity, but to enroll her...her appearance isn't very attractive.
It's a really hard decision to make.
What should we do?
I'll listen to the Minister's decision.
Oppa! I made it! I made it!
You made the right decision.
We will only know later.
In this industry, it is very hard to make it if you do not have the appearance.
She can be very attractive later.
Thank you!
Let me. Let me.
What's with him?
He's working hard to avoid being fired.
Mr. Kang maintains the record for being the teacher with the lowest record for two years.
It's the last THREE years.
With such a record,
being fired, I have nothing to say.
Do not waste your energy, Mr. Kang.
What? What are you saying?
The decision will be out today.
I think it'd be better to use that energy to clean out your desk.
There are 97 names.
What?
Didn't we say to enroll 100 students?
It's a pity that we lack 3 more people.
Ah, I have another 3 names in mind.
If it's like that, what are the 3 names?
- Take a seat. - Okay.
I had originally determined one person, but in the end, two more people appeared.
Who was that person?
His name is Song Sam Dong.
He's someone I've had my eyes on for a while.
Song Sam Dong.
I'm excited to meet him, just by the sound of his name.
Sam Dong. Sam Dong!
Are you alright?
Nope. Nothing's wrong.
Here is a persimmon. Take it and eat it.
I heard that the village is holding a national singing program next week.
Do you want to go take a look?
Of course not! You know that I hate singing. I won't go.
Really?
Then, I won't go either.
Go and rest.
Everyone must agree with the special recruited students.
Otherwise, many people would not be happy with it.
Also, we need a teacher who is willing to teach them.
He's here. The one who has been recruited specifically to teach those students.
Please enter.
You called for me, Director?
Director, Mr. Kang was fired from the office today.
Doesn't that need my approval?
- That is... - Take a seat, Mr. Kang.
Yes, yes.
Then, I should leave.
Walk safely.
Has the audition ended?
Yes, Director.
Do you think that it's possible Hye Mi ran away after not being selected?
Yes, I do.
Were those the two people from earlier on?
What about them?
Earlier on, two people on a motorcycle left the school.
The one sitting behind was female,
and she looked like Hye Mi.
Why didn't you mention it earlier? You...
4885.
What?
The motorcycle license number.
As a precaution, I took the number down.
Good job!
Then, you should know where they are.
Why do you keep stuff like that? Throw it away.
Hey, how are you?
Did you get into Kirin Arts High School?
You failed the audition, right?
I rejected them.
I wouldn't go to that school, even if they let me.
My bright sister,
didn't you go to the audition with Baek Hee?
Don't mention that idiot again.
Hey, where are we going?
Hey.
Now, where are we going?
Want to go to Mr. Kang's place?
Are you crazy? Why do we have to go look for him?
If not, where else can we go?
We don't have any other place to go.
And, we don't have money.
Just follow me.
What is this place?
A place where thieves hide out.
You've been here before?
Compared to outside, it's better here.
I think we better go to Mr Kang's place. How are we going to live in this kind of place?
Very unique. very good.
There's a mouse, a mouse!
Yah! Can you sleep in a place like this?
Yes.
We just need to clean up a bit.
Why do you hate Mr. Kang?
Turn down the fire.
Hyung, I went to Kirin Arts High School today.
You auditioned?
Nope, I danced there.
Are you sure? You can get into Kirin Arts High School? Impossible.
Why is it impossible? I have talent.
Kirin Arts High School.
Fine, let's just say you got in. Why not just say I can be a laywer, too?
Why can't I make it?
Hyung, if you can pass the audition, I'll applaude you.
I'll wear a mini skirt.
What? Alright.
Then, I'll wear a mini skirt and shave my eyebrows,
if you can pass the audition and get admitted to Kirin Arts High School.
Okay. Wear a mini skirt and shave your eyebrows.
I will do SNSD's dance, if you become a lawyer.
If you can debut as a singer,
I will shave my eyebrows and hair.
- I'm gonna put you on the spot. - Hyung, you go for a sex change operation!
What, Hyung? What gender do you want to become?
- Yes, it does not make sense. - Of course it doesn't!
Yes, but I...
What?
Need to go.
Why?
I need to help my Dad.
Help him with what?
My dad opened a family chicken butcher shop.
He wasn't careful & sprained his waist yesterday.
Then, your audition?
I have a 0.00001% probability.
A roasted chicken has the same probability of passing the audition.
This is mine. I paid for it!
I also paid. Give me my 500 won then.
You have the money. Go and buy it yourself. Why do you have to snatch it from me?
This is the last time I'm going to say it. Give it to me!
No.
Give it to me. It is Christmas Day today.
This is too much.
Jin Guk. Jin Guk.
Hey! What are you doing, Jin Guk?
That's my mother.
If I am found, I will be sent to an orphanage.
Liar.
It is true! I heard my Mother call the orphanage.
Hey! Why are you crying?
How? How? What are you gonna do?
Yea, what do I do now?
Hey! Your nose is running.
No, it's not. Those are tears.
You, what is your name?
Hye Mi. Go Hye Mi.
You, what kind of person are you?
Boss, I found 4885.
Hye Seong, you better come out quickly.
Are you hiding? I can see you.
Found you.
Where have you been?
Unnie. Unnie.
Car license number.
76-4004. 76-4004.
Let go. Let go of me!
Calm down.
I will bring your younger sister over, too.
I, myself, don't want to be defeated.
I have already made my contribution.
Then, you should be able to pass the audition.
You didn't pass the audition. Is it because you didn't put in enough effort?
I will return the money.
Whether I'm at work or going to work, it doesn't matter what I do.
It should be like this. You will return back the money
no matter what.
Little friend,
this is an evaluation.
Why aren't you singing?
I don't want to.
Even if I will die, I won't sing.
How is it possible that you aren't even interested in singing such a song?
What's the matter, my child?
Really, what's the matter?
You. Stop where you are.
Come here.
Stand still!
If you ever act like that again, I will call the police.
Okay, go ahead.
But, don't you forget,
your younger sister and your father are in my hands.
Who asked you to fail the audition?
If you had been admitted, it wouldn't be like this now.
Let go of her.
She is a special admitted student of Kirin Arts High School.
What?
I am a teacher at Kirin Arts High school, Kang Oh Hyuk.
So, in other words, the Director admitted her.
That's right.
So, you also believe that she can make it?
Definitely.
I searched your name.
I found out some information.
It clearly says that your admittance isn't permanent.
The other students in your class also have that kind of fate.
If Hye Mi follows you, she will end up having the same fate.
If it's that kind of future,
we can't let that happen.
Get in the car. Let's go to my house.
Your younger sister told me you don't have a place to go now.
What?
Get in the car. I've prepared everything.
It's because of money
that I'm like this now.
And, I still have to attend that kind of school...
all because of money.
There are no other reasons.
You better make sure you're fully prepared.
Is there something wrong with your brain?
Today, if you're not going to die, then I will.
Do you think you aren't enough. What is this?
Their father is overseas doing business and they have no place to go.
Business trip? Yeah right. What a perfect family.
- Get out, get out quickly. - Okay, okay.
You, let go of me! Let go of me!
Let go. I'm not going to hit you. Let go. Let go! I'm not going to hit you.
Ask them to leave immediately.
What's with you today? Do you want to die?
I'm serious. Ask them to leave immediately.
You have the money to support others now.
How can you ask them to leave? Can't you just consider them as your nieces?
What? Niece? Since when do I have nieces?
Do you want to die? Aren't you going to ask them to leave?
I will look after Hye Mi.
Otherwise, I will become unemployed.
What?
I have been fired from Kirin Arts High School.
But, the Director has given me one last chance thanks to her.
If I can bring her over, I won't be fired.
Tell me. What am I going to do?
It's because of her that I am here.
For the sake of my livelihood, I am very tired.
Except that now, I have to look after two more people.
The other two,
if I still cannot bring them to school before term starts,
Then I will be unemployed. Moreover, Hye Mi has been recruited personally.
Really?
I am really tired.
It's been hard on you.
Then you should have told me earlier.
How can you be like this?
Okay okay, it hurts!
Song Sam Dong.
That's a nice name.
But where is Dambong?
Hyun Shi Hyuk.
You punk! Weren't you the one who stole our boss' wallet the other time?
Go Hye Mi, where are you?
Aigoo, who is this?
Why did you run here by yourself?
Go Hye Mi, where are you?
I saw you. I saw you kidnap Hye Mi.
You better let her go if you don't want me to call the police.
Ah, you are here to rescue Hye Mi.
It's true. Kids these days have no sense at all.
They still think that they're Zhou Renfa.
Hello, Hye Mi-ah?
Are you home yet?
What happened? Do you have anything else to say?
Nope. I've said what I wanted to say.
Good?
Now, all that's left is the issue between you and me.
Get rid of him.
Shi Kyung Jin.
Shi Kyung Jin. My name is also Shi Kyung Jin.
Very nice to meet you.
Yoon Baek Hee.
You sang, right?
When you participated in the audition?
It was very touching.
I'm Jo In Sung.
I became very moved after I watched it, too.
I'm Jung Ah Jung.
If you say it from the front, it's Jung Ah Jung.
If you say it backwards, it's also Jung Ah Jung.
Alright, I'm Baek Hee.
Yoon Baek Hee.
I wonder why that type of teacher is here.
What kind of teacher is she?
I heard from our seniors
that our teacher is not a local.
She studied in the US and came back.
She's this school's most sought after teacher.
Hello, teacher.
What's this?
Aren't these thumbtacks?
They are.
There are about 1000 of them in total.
Five minutes from now, the dance lesson will start.
Barefoot.
How are we going to start class when there are thumbtacks on the floor?
If, within 5 minutes, you cannot pick up all 1000 thumb tacks,
I'm afraid your footwork will not be good enough.
Now, start!
Omo, this really drains our energy!
Kim Pil Suk, take off your socks.
How do I take them off like that?
What do we do? There's one more left.
This is all of them.
Found it!
Stop!
That was very tiring.
In the future, my classes will be tougher.
In the next 5 minutes, I want you all to lose your tension towards dance.
If you stay until the end of the class,
then know that this class in not just any type of class.
There is no musical curriculum here.
It's like a graveyard.
I'm sorry. I entered the wrong class.
You are going to die today.
Not at all disciplined.
Number 15.
Minus 10 points for interrupting.
What?
Why me?
He was late...
If you feel wronged...
So, he's the top student.
Today's entrance performance is the Kobodent curriculum.
Teacher, are the new school uniforms finished?
No, not yet.
What's going on? The entrance exams are about to start.
The Director said that we have to wait until he comes.
This should've been given earlier.
Teacher Kong, what should we do?
Just carry on with the test, but try not to be too obvious.
Because Teacher Kang and the Director have personally chosen the students,
so we did not let them participate in the written test.
This is so selfish.
Aish, it really is.
Looks like the person who is going to replace me has not been announced yet.
What?
The person that the Director has confirmed
previously
grew up with an English background.
He selected the person based on his own wishes.
What?
Just by the looks of his face, you know it will be bad.
Just because he couldn't find a replacement,
he gets one from overseas?
The name is the same.
I'm sorry. I really can't hear a thing outside.
Really, the glitches...
That's true.
Su-In, I'll call you in a while.
This is really the first time it happened, Ahjussi.
This can't be compared.
It's very expensive.
How about 200,000 won?
Ahjusshi, how can you play such a joke?
Two years ago, I spent 200,000 won to buy this from Japan.
Soo-in, I have some important matters to attend to. I'll call you later.
Yah, there are problems here.
Ahjussi, you need to listen to the music.
200,000 won based on appearance.
But still...
Don't call me. Didn't I say that I'll call you back?
Do you know what am I doing? Because of you, I went to help you buy things.
I am selling my life.
In order to marry you and to make up for what I lack,
I sold my musical instrument.
Do you understand me?
Yah, Su In.
Su In-ah
Ahjussi, if she does not answer the phone,
then I'll drop it here.
Pick up.
Didn't pick up.
I'm going crazy.
Okay. Okay.
So, are you going to sell it or not?
Not going to sell.
I can't sell it.
Yah, that's expensive.
Put it down.
Age 37, with only 1 year teaching experience..
Wait a moment, I can't ignore it again.
He freely selects talented students,
and unqualified teachers continue to come.
Yet, it's the President who formulates this strategy.
It's all messed up.
If you eat too fast, you'll choke!
Now that the Director has appeared, you need to grab hold of this opportunity.
From a business point of view, I can't immediately agree.
I won't ask too much of you.
Only, when there is a need,
You just need to stand on my side.
I don't take sides.
The only side I'll take is the one where the money is,
as long as the chairman's hands and feet are bound.
At that time, I will prove my worth.
I could end up aiding the Director
and being his helpful assistant.
If I still can't find all of them before school starts,
I'm really going to be unemployed. Moreover, Hye Mi is also one of the recruited students.
You're awake.
Have you eaten breakfast?
Is this what you've prepared?
Great.
This is what I must do.
Where is ahjussi's older sister?
On an official business trip.
She'll be back in a month.
It's not in your personality to crack a joke.
You must be very tired.
I'm worried about your sister.
She said she'll call when she wakes up.
Hye Mi-ah.
What?
To Dambang.
I heard she went there.
It's not DamBang, but DamBong.
What? Hye Mi went to Dambong?
Hey.
Why are you headed there?
Come back immediately.
If you still cannot find him by the time the test ends, you're doomed.
How did you know that?
It doesn't matter where Song Sam Dong is. I have to look for him.
Ahjussi, how are you going to look for him?
Who are you looking for? If anyone is going to look for him, it is my job to do so.
It's going to be time for the entrance examination. How are you going to look for him?
I'll see what I can do.
I'll do whatever I can.
In such a big place, how does a someone look for Song Sam Dong?
Looks like I've found him.
What?
I've found Song Sam Dong.
National
Singing Competition
Today's national singing competition is to celebrate Shang Nadao's Tan Fengjun.
Hello, everybody. I hope everyone's good.
- Hello, everybody. - Let me try again. Hello, everybody.
Sam Dong-ah,
Didn't you say your mother wasn't coming?
Yes, she said she's not coming.
I saw her in the auditorium with my mother.
What did you say?
Initially, only my mother and I came together.
Ah, this can't be.
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
What's wrong? I'm practicing right now.
Yes, you both went to the interview together.
There is a hooligan.
You know him?
He's my friend.
Where can I find him?
Not long ago, a fellow brother and I lived in a hostel.
But, after being chased out,
we lived in our RGT.
Hyun Shi Hyuk.
Are you home?
Hyun Shi Hyuk.
Ahhhh! He's bleeding.
Jin Guk. Jin Guk!
Wake up. Wake up!
Jin Guk.
Who is it?
Hello, Mr. Yang.
You are...
My name is Jung Ha Myung.
You want me to work at Kirin Arts High as an English teacher?
Although it is only temporary,
the results will allow us to consider whether or not to make you a permanent member of our faculty.
How about it?
You've found the wrong person.
What?
I don't know how many times I've been deceived.
Separate phases, right?
Employing people by formal system for time-limited jobs...that kind of racket, huh?
"We have been using an old method."
Nicely spoken words. What level of English is this?
Why are you always randomly touch people's things.
This still exists?
This was a specialty back in 1973.
You know about this?
A lot of people don't know about this album.
Ah..lies.
-= Director Jung Ha Myung, Kirin Arts High School =-
Director?
Next contestant, please come on stage.
- Why did this fellow come? He can't even sing. - Say hi to the everybody first.
Hi, everybody. I come from DamBong. my name is Song Sam Dong.
He is Song Sam Dong.
Song what? Woods what? What is this?
Oh, that is a interesting name.
What do you do? You look like a student.
You should be in school. Why are you here?
- Are you asking me why I came? - Yes, why?
Because..
I want my mother to sleep well.
Let mother have a good sleep.
Why doesn't your mother sleep well?
My mother...She is worried about me turning into an old hoodlum.
So, she doesn't sleep well.
Is that so?
Therefore, the only conclusion is to get married publicly.
Honestly, this boy has brought laughter to all of us here.
Looking out at the crowd today, I can see that many pretty girls have come.
Go pick one you like, take her by her hand, and return to the stage.
Now? Immediately?
Strike while the iron is hot.
You still don't want to grab hold of such a good opportunity?
Hurry and come back.
You are clearly lying to me.
But, you don't obviously look like a swindler.
I can't keep on waiting.
I'm assuming that you're rejecting me.
It's not that I don't want to help. It's too sudden.
You asked me to help you now. What if I don't do a good job?
I don't want to live a such a depression.
Moreover, aren't you worried?
Of course, I'm worried.
But, I like the challenge.
Quickly, bring her up here.
Isn't this interesting?
Bumping into someone, it's like an affinity.
It's unpredictable.
Therefore, each meeting,
doesn't it feel emotional.
Since this is our first meeting, I'm sorry.
Come with me.
-= Episode 3 Preview =-
How embarrassing! As if, pulling me on stage isn't enough. You still want me to dance with you.
If you're thinking that it's embarrassing, then go away.
The children asked Mr. Kang to help you.
What about me?
Although some children have bad attitudes, they can also be successful.
- What? - What happened to you?
But, why are you here? Who let you?
You, sick flasher!
That's not it.
Why should the votes be publicized?
Why can't the votes be publicized?
Can you help me find this kid before school starts?
Why should I help you find him?
I heard that you can sing very well.
Hello, Mother.
