Where are you going?
I have to be somewhere.
Have lunch with the guys. I'll see you at home.
I'll come with you, then.
I won't be long. See you in Busan.
Well done.
Well done, Ha Nul.
Maybe well make it to the next round.
Did you see how the judges were reacting?
Ouch. What?
I have a good feeling about this.
- Didn't the judges like it, too? - I'm sure they did.
You haven't seen the other teams perform.
They all looked professional to me.
Did you borrow money from a loan shark?
Why would you get beat up unless there's loan or woman problem?
Did you say you were Ha Nul?
The world you know as a 19-year-old and as an adult are quite different.
I don't like your tone of voice.
Aren't you going to see a doctor?
You can't even chew your jajangmyeon.
I'm going to melt each strand and swallow it, you brat.
Let's eat before the food gets cold.
I'm sorry I keep bothering you.
No, it's okay.
What brings you here?
Is there...
a trainee named...
Lee Ji Young here?
Lee Ji Young?
I've never heard that name before.
We have a lot of trainees here.
You're right.
But could you please look into it?
It's really important to me.
Okay. Sure. I'll look into it and give you a call.
Thank you.
If you give me your business card, I'll leave you my number.
What? You won't let them go even if they pass the first round?
Don't you know a band that audition shouldn't belong to an agency?
That audition was...
to gain Ocean Music's trust.
I'm not buying it,
because you're the president of the agency.
What are you talking about?
Just tell Mr Jeong what you saw and thought.
He won't regret investing 200,000 dollars on the album.
You really are a bad guy.
How can you dupe Min Joo like that?
Man Shik, tell me the truth.
No, swear on your pride as a composer.
- I'm always full of pride. - Do you think...
they can make it?
Well, you know music. You can't just have skills,
you need sentiments.
That guy, Jo Ha Nul,
has sentiments.
He has the common denominator.
They are both good looking. They'll make it, won't they?
- As long as you don't cheat. - What do you mean I cheat?
Who is it?
- Why are you calling? - Hey, it's been a long time.
There's something I'm concerned about.
I heard you assembled a band.
The sister of your band's vocalist...
keeps coming here.
I'll telling you now, so that you don't misunderstand.
I don't want you thinking that I snatched your player again.
Keep a good watch...
on your players.
Do you live next to Ha Nul?
Why do you ask?
His sister came by again...
saying that she saw you here.
She's acting up,
because you keep ticking her off.
Aren't you going to move?
It's me.
I'm doing well. I think I'll debut soon.
Yes.
You didn't tell anyone...
that we are in contact, did you?
Okay.
Let me ask you one more favour.
There's something you must do for me.
- This jerk. - What is it?
Who was it?
It's nothing. Excuse me.
It's me.
Are you on your way to Busan?
Yes.
Well...
Never mind.
Have a safe trip. I'll call you later.
I hear that Suk Ho is running around to make something huge.
It seems like he's assembling a band.
A band?
Do you think Suk Ho should run around like that?
He's trying to make it work.
But I'll take care of him.
(CEO Shin Suk Ho)
Ha Nul's sister went to KTOP.
Who are you?
Hello. I'm Venus 7080's Na Yun Soo.
What?
Venus 7080?
(Venus 7080)
You insisted on coming to Gangbuk. That tells me...
that you, Mr Jeong,
have a weird sense of taste.
In music,
there's no Gangnam or Gangbuk.
Why don't I sing a song?
Did I tell you I was in a band a long time ago?
You said it a million times. Go ahead.
Okay, okay.
Give me your guitar.
I said give it to me.
You'll trust me when I show you my skills.
- Give me. - I'll play it for you.
All right.
Okay. My gosh.
Here. Sit down and take a break.
Why are you doing that?
What are you doing?
Only I can play my guitar.
Why you little...
Hey!
I'm just asking to play the guitar. What's all the fuss?
Is it made with gold or something?
I'm sorry. I can't let you play.
Hey! Tell the manager to come here!
- Hey, Boss. You're drunk. - What?
Why is he fighting with me?
Let's sing. Give me a song.
You're only an entertainer.
Are you afraid your guitar will get dirty?
Can't an entertainer treasure his instrument?
- Mr Jeong. - Let me go.
I know you play awesome guitar. I'll hear it next time.
- Let's sing now. - Okay.
- Do you like Kim Kwang Seok? - Yes.
(CEO Shin Suk Ho)
How did you find me?
Mr Jeong is a regular at Venus 7080.
I heard that you started your own business.
Did you hear anything else?
I read in the news that Jackson left you.
Then you already know everything.
Why did you come to a failure?
Don't you need an instrument player?
Although I play in a small band at a bar,
I used to play good guitar when I was in school.
Well...
It's true that...
I'm putting together a band.
But I already have a guitarist.
- You already have a guitarist. - Do you know...
- how to play bass? - Yes, I can play it well.
I see.
He came and asked to be in the band.
He said I looked cool when I was at KTOP.
Don't you think it's good news? He said I looked cool.
What about drum?
I'm on it, for goodness sake.
I'm trying to pick the best, so stop nagging.
He's here.
He's so polite. He won't come in unless he knocks.
Come in.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Is he your nephew? - He's my son.
Oh my gosh.
Your son?
Why you...
Daddy.
What's your name?
Na Chan Hee.
Chan Hee, do you want to play?
There you go.
Let's play together, okay?
- How old are you? - I'm 25.
- What about the kid? - He's five.
Why didn't you tell me you had a son?
I was afraid you'd reject me.
Of course. A dad with a kid can't be a celebrity.
I don't want to be a celebrity.
- I want to be a musician. - They're the same.
Do you think I'm putting together a band for a bar?
All right.
I understand,
but I don't need a dad in my band.
Sir, I'll work really hard.
You don't have to work hard. I can't have a married man.
Do you understand?
- I'm not married. - Are you kidding me?
- What about the kid? - I'm a single dad.
Oh my gosh.
Fine. I have no energy to talk. Here.
It must have been tough coming with the kid and all,
so take this and buy him something to eat.
I'm sorry. I should've told you first.
Hey.
But...
when you said instruments are precious even to entertainers...
Thank you for that.
Shoot. Darn it.
Bee-bop, bee-bop, bee-bop
In the four beats
There is love, sorrow
And tears
Good.
Chan Hee.
Chan Hee, let's go.
Go on.
- Here. - Daddy.
Did you have fun?
Goodbye.
Bye.
Let's go, Chan Hee.
Bye. Bye!
Let's go.
You're awesome!
Bye!
We can't have a married man in a band.
I respect your decision.
- He isn't joining us? - Joining what?
Didn't you see? He has a kid.
He's a single dad without a wife, at that.
What did you say?
Ex-convicts are welcome,
but not good men living a good life, taking care of a young child?
Ex-convict? What does he mean?
Being stupid and having a kid is like being an ex-convict.
Let's go eat.
I'll choose the members.
Will I see you next weekend?
You're too far away. Aren't you going to move?
Aren't you leaving?
I'll see you next week.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Bee-bop, bee-bop, bee-bop
In the four beats
What are you doing?
I'm doing what I learned.
You followed me around, singing my jingle.
I'll grab you by the collar too, then.
Bye.
Bee-bop, bee-bop, bee-bop
That kid isn't normal. That freak.
Shoot. Darn it.
Ex-convicts are welcome,
but not good men living a good life, taking care of a young child?
When you said instruments are precious even to entertainers...
Thank you for that.
This isn't right.
You don't believe in humanism.
An ex-convict and now a single dad. I'm at a loss.
You punk!
Are you at a funeral?
I can't sing with you playing like that.
I'm sorry. I'll do it again.
You loser. Play the music right, if you want to make a living.
Why...
Who are you, now?
Chan Hee.
Chan Hee. Let's go.
Get up.
How miserable.
Do you have a bass guitar?
- I can get one. - You can get one?
Come to the office tomorrow. Let's hear you with the guitar.
You'll regret it for sure in the morning.
My heart flutters toward you
Starting today
What the...
What did he do all night, that he's dead asleep?
Hi.
Why are we practising all of sudden?
Is Ha Nul coming?
No.
Well, for now...
Hello.
Please tell me I'm hearing things. No, right?
No, right?
You have good hearing. It is.
Hi.
Shoot!
Watch our language in front of the kid.
- I'm Na Yun Soo. - You can't do this!
It's been done. Calm down.
Me?
"Do you mean me?" That's how you speak.
You'll turn people off if you talk like that on camera.
- Do you mean me? - Yes, you.
- Why? - Why else? You're from Julliard.
Not anyone goes to Julliard.
I won't force you if you don't think you can do it.
It's not about that.
I've never written music for a band before.
No one is good from the start.
When we meet up this weekend, we can discuss...
There you go again, being clueless.
For every day you lose, your debut gets pushed back a month.
You can take your time if you have time to kill.
Do we practise only on the weekends?
The vocalist is a high school student who can only come on the weekends.
This band is getting worse by the day.
Don't eat that!
I'll go to Busan and work on a song with Ha Nul.
You're growing up.
We'll go, too.
Don't take the kid, punk. Leave him with someone.
- He's older than you. - Sorry?
Chan Hee is well-behaved.
I'm older, so I'll speak casually, okay?
Sure.
Ha Nul!
Chan Hee!
Ha Nul!
Hi!
- How was the train ride? - Good.
I came to Busan to see you.
Shoot.
I'm not happy picking up dudes, either.
Hi. So you live in Busan.
Which of the three should we go with?
I say the second one.
I say the last one.
The last one sounds like a ballad.
Bon Jovi and Nirvana have songs with melodies that sound like ballads.
Why do you like the third one?
Because it sounds lovely.
You've dated a lot, haven't you?
- Why? - You see,
I wrote this song while thinking about...
when I first met my ex-girlfriend.
I don't need to date to know.
Then? Is there someone you like?
His members were coming today. I wonder if he's with them now.
Hi, Ha Nul. Did Kyle and the new member come yet?
Yes. They're here.
Where will they sleep?
They can stay at a motel...
Shoot. Hey.
We can't take a child to a motel.
A child? They brought a baby?
What?
- Yes. - Bring them home, then.
What should I cook for the baby?
I'll make fried eggs and...
Hey, make it bold.
Hey! What are you doing?
Let's go, then.
(Rapist, what a disgrace to the community.)
(Pervert, Rapist)
(Trash, Ex-convict)
(Rapist, Trash)
The guys can't see this.
The person you are trying to reach in unavailable...
I'm tired.
Chan Hee's not complaining. You are so out of shape.
Kyle, you are here.
Hello.
I don't know why someone would leave graffiti...
"Rapist".
"Ex-convict".
My bad. You better leave for today.
No, it's okay. Come in. I'll cook for you.
Look at your hand. You're bleeding.
I'll put on some ointment for you.
I'll buy lunch this weekend in Seoul. I'm sorry.
Gosh, I knew something wasn't right!
Ha Nul is...
Mr Shin must be out of his mind.
Why are you standing there? Let's go!
Hold on. But still...
I've known Director Shin all these years.
How would I do that?
Is he still Director Shin?
The person in charge of Jackson has changed a long ago.
You're upsetting me.
Come on, it's not like that.
Of course you are the director who's in charge of Jackson.
But you know...
we already settled on 200,000 dollars to produce an album.
How can I just overturn it?
I didn't know you were so ethical.
You know Jung Hoon is being discharged from army next month.
Our agency has been preparing his album for the last year.
I'll let you invest in it.
Do you want to produce his album instead?
Lee Jung Hoon's album?
I can't do that.
Your president made the album with his own hands.
I can't sign the papers and take the credit for the work.
I'll make sure you get your share,
so please withdraw the money you invested in Suk Ho.
As soon as possible.
I must have strong skin. My wounds always heal in no time.
It doesn't hurt at all.
I'm fine. We can repaint the gate and the walls.
The members would have been shocked. What if they get wrong ideas?
I should have explained it to them.
What's that?
Yun Soo.
What are you doing here?
I'm teaching Chan Hee how to draw.
It's the sun!
(Property Seizure Tag)
Hey, what happened?
I thought it was all settled.
Look at this mess.
Let me call Mr Jeong.
- Let's go. - Where?
We have to meet Mr Jeong and listen to what he says first.
Mr Jeong is going home early today.
He's trying to avoid us.
What's his home address?
I'll come with you.
No, I'll go alone.
Ha Nul.
I'm probably not the best person to say this...
but don't be discouraged.
I'm not much older than you,
but there are times when things don't go your way.
I trust your sister's words. I believe in you.
Chan Hee is waiting for you. You should go back in.
Don't speak to me so politely.
I feel so old if you speak to me like that.
I'm leaving.
Chan Hee, can you brush your teeth?
Yes!
Can you do it on your own?
Yes.
Back and forth, back and forth
I'll help him.
He does it well on his own.
Bye, bye germs
Back and forth, bye germs
Thank you for letting us sleep over.
Thank you for painting the gate and the walls.
My goodness.
Where are you, Mr Shin?
I'm outside. What's wrong?
Where are you exactly?
I'll call you back in a moment.
Where is it?
- Is it here? - Yes.
Wow, what a nice house.
I told you I could take a taxi.
You didn't have to come all the way here.
It was on my way, anyway.
We started off together,
so we must see the end of it.
You're right.
I'm going to trust you, okay?
See you, have a good night
Why would you hide something important like that?
Calm down.
Is it that important to you?
Of course. He's a sex offender!
Who cares if we have a good song and we have talent?
You warned me about speaking nicely so we don't get anti-fans, right?
Wouldn't we get anti-fans if one of our members is a sex offender?
Having a single dad is nothing compared to this.
Have you ever been...
wrongly accused in your life?
I reacted the same way as you in the beginning.
He had such an innocent face. How could he...
He was falsely charged.
I debated whether I should believe him or not.
I...
decided that I'll trust Ha Nul's innocent face.
I decided to trust his words and came this far.
That's why I didn't tell you.
I don't trust in anything.
I only trust the situation we're in now.
We have a sex offender as our vocalist.
That's the situation we're in.
What will you do if Ha Nul stays?
I won't do it.
You play guitar...
very well.
- I'll find a band for you. - What do you mean?
You heard me.
I won't give up Ha Nul.
I don't want to give you up, either.
But if you say you won't,
then I'll find another band or agency for you.
Why?
Because I have to fulfil my duty as a casting director.
This is all so stupid.
Let's think about it for a few more days.
If you still won't do it, let's talk again then.
I'll get cavities. You always give me caramels.
Don't you know how happy I get when I eat these?
You should have one, too.
Do you think I'm like you?
I'd rather have soju.
Why did you run away?
I don't want to be a backup dancer...
in the background.
Let's go.
Where?
I'll make you a star. Trust me.
How will you do that?
At least, I won't make you work part-time or eat expired food.
Let's go.
(Property Seizure Tag)
Did you find out?
What was it? What was the deal?
Lee Jung Hoon will be discharged from the army soon.
They are ready to release his album.
It'll be released as soon as he gets discharged.
It was KTOP's sole investment, but Kim Joo Han said...
he would let Ocean Music be in it.
Mr Jeong has no reason to reject the offer.
Are they saying...
they'll get funny with Jung Hoon's album?
It's so awkward to be in a café with you...
during the day.
You're right.
I should let you buy me liquor of consolation,
but I quit drinking.
Then you should...
let me buy you lunch.
I've thinking a lot lately.
When I took Jackson and betrayed Joon Suk,
he must've felt what I'm feeling now.
I'm repenting deeply.
That's how things go around in this world.
I've been mean,
but I don't think I ever disappointed my friends,
especially...
- you. - We all have our reasons.
I wonder what those reasons are.
Why are you doing this?
You'll only get hurt if you knew.
Also, I can't tell you.
Because you don't work for...
KTOP any more.
It's the company secret, so don't try to find out.
Why don't you leave this industry?
Didn't you always say...
that you wanted to open up a restaurant by the beach?
I'll help you.
Don't second guess yourself and just leave.
I can even lend you...
200,000 dollars that you owe Mr Jeong.
I won't...
have to pay that money back.
Take care.
Are you enjoying that?
It's awesome.
Buy it with your own money. Because I'm broke.
Give that to Mr Jeong.
- What is it? - That?
It's to get Kim Joo Han.
Bye.
Director!
You can't do business like this!
Are you crazy?
Are you trying to ruin my life?
Well,
I'll talk to the president and get back to you.
Weren't we producing it with our funds?
We have enough funds, why would we get investments from GM?
Help this once.
They aren't our main business partner either.
Mr Choi is getting married.
He says he'll get fired if he doesn't make any results.
Every time he calls me, I get really sad.
He has to get married. Why don't you help him out?
He'll probably pay you back.
Did you take a bribe?
Will you get in trouble if you refuse his request?
Come on.
I don't take bribes from rookies.
Good for you.
Go ahead with it, but keep it quiet.
Let's keep it low until the album is released.
Yes, Sir.
Thank you.
Your company already produced the album...
with GM's investment.
How could you have not known?
You still got it, Shin Suk Ho.
Thanks for the surprise gift.
I'm glad...
that you liked it.
You should remove the property seizures.
Otherwise Suk Ho will spread words about you.
And you're going to be called a bully.
Who's a bully?
I don't know. Get out.
I'll take it that the 200,000 dollar investment in Mango is still on.
I'll go check if they are doing a good job making the album.
I'm not sure if it's really okay.
He'll get mad if he finds out...
that I talked to you about this.
But I'm worried.
Okay. Ha Nul will be here today, so let's pretend...
we don't know anything for now.
I will talk to Suk Ho about...
Ha Nul's situation.
- What is it? - You'll lose fans talking that way.
- Get out of my way. - Gosh.
I wrote an amazing song over the past few days.
But I'll have to think about it.
I'll have to trust between the two.
Which one shall I trust?
So? Did you come up with an answer?
I have no answer.
Is there a speaker?
Cell phones are great these days.
Let's hear it.
This song is made for Carnegie Hall.
I don't know if you can appreciate it.
I'll pretend I'm at the Seoul Arts Center.
Play it.
Let's just check how the song goes.
I guess you deserved...
to be at Julliard.
Hi.
Who...
- We brought drinks. - Thank you.
Please have a seat.
Ms Park. Wait outside.
Are you leaving?
I brought sandwiches...
Who's he?
Is he yours?
My parents would be jumping for joy if he were mine.
- Hello. - Hi.
It's nice to meet you.
He's our bassist, and this is his son.
Get up.
Hello.
Hi.
The Entertainer band is really becoming entertaining.
Suk Ho, let's talk.
- Me? - You.
You. She wants you.
- What? - What do you plan to do?
I heard Ha Nul is an ex-convict.
Kids get in trouble as they grow up.
Are you joking?
Do you call that "trouble"?
He's a sex offender.
Lower your voice. How did you find out?
You must have great informers.
Kyle came to see me.
A bassist with a kid and an ex-convict vocalist.
He asked how you can form a band with members like that,
and to convince you to find different members.
Kyle, that punk.
The single dad, fine. We can live with him.
But not Ha Nul.
It'll be a problem even if the band does well.
He was framed.
I looked into it, and he was totally framed.
Who'd believe that?
Was he really framed?
Think hard about this.
His record for sexual assault will follow him forever.
You've seen kids' lives ruined because people dug up their past.
What if his past gets out?
He won't be the only one ruined.
What happens to Kyle and the single dad?
I know that!
We'll say we're trying to catch the real culprit.
And if we actually find him, that's even better.
Who would reopen the investigation for some kid with no connections?
Why you...
You'll be destroyed even worse.
Don't do this to yourself.
Be smart about this.
His sister goes in and out of KTOP,
and he disappears in the middle.
His record for sexual assault will follow him forever.
You've seen kids' lives ruined because people dug up their past.
Who are you?
Someone who wants to release your album.
Sing with me.
Let's do it. Let's make music.
Then, you are innocent!
What if his past gets out?
He won't be the only one ruined.
What happens to Kyle and the single dad?
You'll be destroyed even worse.
Don't do this to yourself.
Be smart about this.
(Caramel)
Your call is being forwarded...
Man Shik arranged the song. It's awesome.
Listen to it and feel the music.
I'll see you this weekend.
(The faint spring days even if you've forgotten)
Hello?
I'm sorry for calling so late.
It's okay. I was up.
I need to talk to you, but I can't skip my job.
Could you come here?
I'm sorry for making you wait.
If the guardian tells me to wait, I must wait.
I didn't know Ha Nul would be able to sing again,
or that he sang so well.
The family's apathy destroys the youth's dreams.
That's why I need to do better.
What do you mean by that?
I think he needs a proper system backing him up.
I found the talent,
but you'll go with an established system, is that it?
- What do you mean? - You think my career ended...
for stabbing KTOP in the back, so you'll find something better.
Fine. Do what you want. He's your brother.
Still, I chased him all over Busan.
KTOP isn't right.
You're telling me to scram!
How did you know I went there?
Excuse me, Ha Nul's sister.
This is a cut-throat world.
Do you think I can't find out that much?
I didn't go for the reason you think.
I'm not that calculating.
Then why did you go there?
I had to look into something regarding Ha Nul's case.
Ha Nul's case? What?
He and I will handle that.
Well...
Well... If you didn't go to stab me in the back, then...
I'll trust you.
Why did you want to see me?
I think I should be Ha Nul's manager.
Do you even know...
what a manager does?
- I'll learn. - From whom?
Is there a school for managers?
- You'll have to teach me. - Why are you doing this to me?
Why? Why must you be his manager?
Ha Nul acts tough, but he's very soft on the inside.
I need to protect him 24 hours a day.
Are you his mum or sister?
Who cares? Ha Nul's well-being is all that matters.
It isn't easy being a manager.
Even if your parents are rushed to the hospital after an accident,
the manager has to stay with the client.
And personal time? Not a chance.
Dating? 90 percent of them never get married.
There's even a legendary manager who goes between Seoul and Busan...
three times a day. Shin Suk Ho.
I have a driver's license.
Dating? Marriage? I don't need that.
Family? Ha Nul. He's all I've got.
He's the only reason I live.
I don't think I need to even interview.
Am I not right?
The sister as the manager?
What a sister.
Yes, Ha Nul. Why couldn't I reach you? I was getting worried.
Me? I'm in the office right now.
You're in Seoul?
I thought you only come during the weekends. What about school?
I left early.
I have something for you.
What is it?
What's this?
I wrote a song.
You wrote a song?
You and your sister have the right spirit.
Never mind.
Let me see.
You wrote this?
Composed by Kyle...
and written by Jo Ha Nul.
This is good.
Did you come all the way here just for this?
You could have emailed it to me.
I have something to say.
I...
I'm quitting the band.
I won't sing again.
- What? - I need to prepare for my exams.
Fine. You need to study...
and take the college entrance exam.
You need to go to university.
But...
you won't sing?
No, I won't.
You said you wanted a band, so I came this far and now what?
I thought...
everybody would believe me if I told them it wasn't true.
It didn't occur to me that I'll be hurting the people around me.
But now I know, so I won't go further.
Gosh, stop talking rubbish!
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
I don't want to do it any more.
Were you always this way?
I'm sorry you put so much effort to make a band for me.
Are you kidding me?
- Are you mocking me? - No.
I wish the best for you. I mean it.
It was as if...
I had a good dream.
Thanks to you.
It's a gift.
Hey.
Jo Sung Hyun.
Jo Ha Nul.
Sung Hyun.
Is Ha Nul...
your younger brother?
(Entertainer)
What is it between you and Ha Nul? Why are you clinging on to him?
I have many questions...
about Ha Nul and you.
She's the only one who can clear Ha Nul's name.
And she's in KTOP?
Just say I'm dead.
I realised you were more incredible than I thought.
If I work with you, I'd be able to make good music.
Suk Ho is the real problem here. He's caught on.
If you are afraid, then face him straight on.
Show him what you have on your plate.
This is a gift for our vocalist Ha Nul.
What do you think you are doing?
Why did you do that to Ha Nul?
