The team we are going against is Won Kang Hwi?
You didn't say anything like this before!
It's news to me, too.
Director Kim.
Isn't this too much?
Tae Ik and Kang Hwi, not too long ago, were on one team.
So, how could you make them?
That is why I am making them compete.
What?
Two singers who were on the same team
went separate ways,
and are going head to head at a similar time. Is this a ordinary opportunity?
There is a story between the two of them.
If they go against each other, it will be a complete big hit! Isn't that right, President Lee?
Still, this isn't right, Director Kim.
President Lee.
There is class even in a fight.
A hastily made team with a guy, who was previously a road manager . . .
How dare you thrust such a team at Kang Hwi!
What?
Come now, calm down!
I guarantee this.
If anything, it will benefit the two teams. It won't be a loss.
First, issue-wise, it is the best.
So, it will also help with the album sales.
Of course, it will create an issue!
One will win,
and the other will lose!
To see previous team members beat each other up,
it must be so much fun to watch.
But...
it is obvious that one side will get hurt!
I have no intention of pushing my guys into something like that.
And also Kang Hwi...
I also don't want him to experience something like that.
We will be leaving now.
Ah, seriously!
President Lee!
You leave first.
There is no need to be bothered about what L.J. said.
I am fine.
But... how could something like this happen?
Why, on earth, with Kang Hwi Hyung-nim?
Even if I were to be born again, I couldn't go against Kang Hwi Hyung-nim.
Isn't that so?
It is a problem even if we win,
but if we lose...
Bum Soo Hyung-nim firmly put an end to it well.
Go Dong.
Do you think we will lose?
What?
No!
Kang Hwi can't win!
There is no way for Kang Hwi all alone!
Kang Hwi Hyung-nim, what is to become of him?
Episode 15 - Part 1-
Kang Hwi can't bear a situation like this!
What do you mean by that, Hyung-nim?
It is as I said.
Tae Ik, you may have noticed.
Tae Ik and Kang Hwi.
Both are types who become stronger, when as a pair, rather than alone.
The reason also why Take One could become the top
was because of the synergy effect from Tae Ik and Kang Hwi being together.
So, Tae Ik Hyung-nim is not doing a solo, but with me...
That's right!
Go Dong, you are the type who is naturally good at supporting others.
Tae Ik is the type who is stronger in a duo than in a solo.
Then, isn't it difficult for Kang Hwi Hyung-nim to be a single artist as Only One?
It will be difficult.
That fellow gets very lonely.
Didn't it seem like Kang Hwi doesn't know about this?
Perhaps, L.J. made this up.
That is also what I think.
Lee Jun, this jerk, what is he up to, that he would do this?
President Lee!
This is not the time to be casual like this!
You said that if I cancel the comeback stage of Take 2,
you would take the responsibility for the debut for the first show of the rival appearance.
President Lee, how can you act like you don't care now?
Director Kim, have I ever not kept a promise I made to you?
No.
Still, the debut show is right around the corner, I am doing this because I am worried.
The format is really hard.
There are no teams willing to do the first show.
That is why we will do it for you.
The debut show of "We Are Rivals."
Fine, President Lee, you will do it.
But Senior Manager Hwang is so stubborn! What to do?
Don't worry and just prepare the program well.
I will definitely make this happen somehow.
Then I will only trust you, President Lee.
Yes.
You must be busy, I will be off now.
But, President Lee,
I am asking this because I am really curious.
If, by any chance, Kang Hwi loses, the damage will be big.
Why do you insist on putting Take 2 and Only One on the same stage?
Director Kim, do you think that Kang Hwi will lose?
No.
The possibility of victory or defeat is 50 to 50.
Director.
Even if I can't be in a game in which I will win 100%,
I don't do anything that will be a loss to me.
If there is an obstacle, I can get rid of it one by one.
If I think I will lose, I can turn the tide.
Keep up the good work!
There is the problem involved with N Broadcasting Station.
I think it will be difficult to refuse this time.
But there is no need to worry!
With your talent, you can easily beat them! No!
Somehow... What? Take 2?
So that you can somehow beat guys like Take 2, I will...
There is no need for that.
Kang Hwi!
But, to say that we won't do this program...
Who said that I am not doing it?
What?
I will definitely do this. I want to do it!
I will win.
That I can do well even on my own...
I will show that!
Yes, you should.
Can Won Kang Hwi, the best in the universe, lose to guys like that?
The stage, the staff, the sound... I will get the best for you!
But what if they say they won't do it?
Then it is of no use.
Don't worry about that.
What? What do you mean by cancelled?
Then... what about next week?
Yes, I see.
Even "Music World" said no?
Yes.
They have a special for "Big Top." "Wonder Boys" are also making a comeback next week.
Don't worry too much.
Even though we can't make an appearance on music shows, the music sources are selling really well.
Your debut stage, we can definitely find one.
Of course! Don't worry.
Then...
shouldn't we at least make an appearance there?
"We Are Rivals."
Tae Ik, that is...
Yes.
Now?
Why?
I heard that you haven't found a stage to debut yet.
Who said that?
Big Top and Wonder Boys are making a comeback.
We are going to make an appearance after 2 weeks.
You are still the same, your bluff.
Why did you call us?
Ah!
Thinking of old affections, I thought of helping you.
The stage that Director Kim proposed,
we will make an appearance.
We will make an appearance?
What are you up to again?
When was it you were trying to prevent our comeback. Now you want to stand on the same stage?
I don't feel like it, but Kang Hwi wants to do it.
He wants to officially compete against Take 2.
Kang Hwi?
His music is in his prime these days.
And seeing your pride getting broken on stage is not bad at all.
What to do?
It will be difficult for you to see what you want to see.
Yes, what Tae Ik says is right!
We won't make an appearance on that satge!
You do music to enjoy it, you don't do it to win!
Your words are really plausible.
Aren't you just running away because you are scared you will lose?
That's your specialty.
When you get scared you become a wimp and stealthily run away.
Hey, you!
What if we win?
Is that possible?
Whether or not it is possible, you can wait and see.
Oh!
Then, we can find out if we do it.
But!
I can't do it just like that.
I don't know what you are up to.
But seeing that you are acting this way,
you apparently need our help.
There is no rush for us.
What?
If we are going to fight, we need to make it interesting.
Don't you think?
Fine.
What is it that you want?
Full House!
Why?
Do you lack the confidence?
Full House?
Are you asking me for a deal betting Full House?
You like deals like that, don't you?
Fine!
Say that I will bet Full House. Then you...
If you lose, what will you give up?
What do you want?
Come work under me again.
Your value is still... usable!
Fine.
I will do that.
Hyung?
Why do you call me?
You needn't worry.
What worry?
Without a word of consultation,
a guy with guts who bets Full House and your future.
Why should I worry?
I am going to win.
Since I bet everything,
I will fight till I die!
Leaving you and Go Dong behind, there is no way I will be dragged under L.J.
I will definitely win!
So... you needn't worry.
Punk!
You make me feel ashamed for being narrow-minded.
You! How can you keep becoming cooler?
I can't keep up!
What is that?
It's a program!
Wow! Jackpot!
Oh my god! News! Kang Hwi and Tae Ik are going to compete in "We Are Rivals."
An article just came out!
Really? Ah! Who do I cheer for?
Take 2? Only One?
I don't know. One vote for Won Kang Hwi!
What are you saying? Tae Ik was a step above Won Kang Hwi, even in Take One.
People! In Take Two's poster, who is the shadow next to Tae Ik?
Is there anyone who knows?
Mystery Man, his voice is really sweet!
Did you not clean up my room while I was away?
It is so dusty, I can't stay in my room.
Look here, Jang Man Ok.
Can't you hear me?
You are not very brainy, are you?
What?
You said so with your own lips, Jin Se Ryeong.
To guard my position as stylist well.
A stylist, don't you know what that person does?
Really?
Then Stylist Jang!
Then go up to my room and pack the clothes I need to take to China.
That is the job of a stylist, right?
Do it yourself.
Or call your stylist to do it.
I am Kang Hwi-nim's stylist, not your stylist.
What?
Ha!
Your eye for outfits!
Since the stylist is like that, Won Kang Hwi can't win. He falls behind Tae Ik starting with his style.
Since I am in the same company as Won Kang Hwi, I couldn't even worry out loud.
I was so worried about Tae Ik as he doesn't even have a single proper staff.
I am thankful.
If things continue like this, thanks to you, Jang Man Ok, Tae Ik stands a chance.
What do you mean by win? Who is winning what?
What do you mean by that?
Ah! Again that expression which says you know nothing!
Jang Man Ok, you really live in this world comfortably, don't you?
You are someone who makes a living in the entertainment world,
but you don't even look at the articles concerning your singer?
Article?
Did something happen again?
You are really stifling!
Tae Ik and Kang Hwi, are competing on the "We Are Rivals" stage.
The internet and entertainment programs are all noisy about it.
You really didn't know?
Are you innocent or do you not care?
You must be worried about for whom to cheer.
Other people are all...
interested in my sincere feelings.
You see, I...
Jang Man Ok, I am more curious about your sincere feelings.
What are your sincere feelings?
Kang Hwi?
Or Tae Ik?
Previous Members of Take One, Lee Tae Ik and Won Kang Hwi, Compete Against Each Other on the First Stage of "We Are Rivals!"
The point of this stage
is for both teams to compete with an unreleased song.
And capture the public's heart.
The point is
how quickly the songs each of you release capture the public's heart.
So, an excellent song choice!
And the capacity for the singers to digest the song!
Then, the problem is the new song we will present.
Kang Hwi Hyung-nim will work with a famous songwriter...
I am really worried.
What worries?
We also have a genius songwriter!
The person who made our song become number one as soon as it was released!
Then are we going to use Sang Dae Hyung-nim's song again this time?
Yes.
So...
You needn't worry about the song!
There is somebody I have thought of.
Somebody you thought of? Who?
A hidden talent who hasn't yet seen the light of day properly!
He is a genius songwriter only known among those who know him in this industry.
As he desires to become a singer,
I heard that he went into hiding because he doesn't want to settle down as a songwriter.
I should find him and coax him well.
Do you understand what I am saying?
So that she can become confused, pound her with questions.
Okay?
Ok.
Ok?
Excuse me, is this...
You came quickly.
Yes, I took the subway and it was close.
Find the disappeared Lee Tae Ik!
My god! What is all of this?
You said you were a reporter! What is all of this?!
That is...
The girl from that time!
Hey! What is this?
What is this place?!
Hey, hey! First, sit down. Sit here!
Look!
Answer quickly to the questions asked!
Poor friend, do you know where this place is?
Yes, look carefully!
This is Won Kang Hwi.
This house . . . Just by looking at it, there seems something special about it, doesn't it?
Where is this place?
Yes. You were with Kang Hwi-nim in China. Tell me frankly.
Where is this place? You know where this place is, don't you?
Stop!
Give me the cell phone! Let me look carefully.
What are you doing?!
Ga Ryeong!
Did this poor girl erase my photo?
Hey! Ha Ga Ryeong, you said you became a reporter!
You just got an office to probe into the private lives of stars!
And you, Paris, Mon Amie!
You said you came all the way to Korea because you are Take One's fan.
You go around doing things like that?
And ahjussi!
You are the prime instigator, aren't you?
No, I'm not. As a reporter, I am just...
A reporter is someone who writes articles.
A reporter is not someone who probes into the private lives of stars!
Do you know how hurt and how troubled those people get over each sentence and each word that you write?!
- Hey! Han Ga Ryeong! - Yes?
Considering our 15 years friendship, I won't say a word to auntie!
I will just give you a week!
Take your hands off this!
Jang Man Ok!
That evil girl!
I can't bear it anymore!
Tae Ik?
Tae Ik!
You are Tae Ik, aren't you?
You are, right? Tae Ik! You are, right? Tae Ik!
You are!
Oh my!
What is this?
What? You were at Man Ok Kwan?
Then, did Man Ok bring you here?
Ah! This evil thing lied to the end again?
She brought Lee Tae Ik here. And she is following Kang Hwi-nim around?
Oh! I'm out of breathe.
Hey! Hey!
What is this?
You...
Aren't you, Ga Ryeong?
Hello!
What brings you at this late hour?
Did you drink?
A little! Did you drink?
A little!
Grandpa, is Man Ok inside?
Man Ok said that she will be at a friend's house for the time being.
Which friend?
No way, our Kang Hwi oppa?!
Ah! That bad girl!
Hey! Did Man Ok do something wrong?
Grandpa, you also know, don't you?
That Man Ok and I can't live without each other!
But, you know, Man Ok fooled me completely
and went there to become a stylist...
Stylist?
What is that? Ah! Selling water purifiers?
No, not that!
A stylist! Someone who puts together outfits for singers.
But, she, without a word, entered into a contract engagement with Tae Ik.
And this time, with Kang Hwi oppa, when she fully well knows that I really like him...
Jang Man Ok did... a contract engagement?
No, that is...
Ah! Why aren't you answering?
Hurry and answer.
What is this contract? And what is this engagement?
What does that answer mean?
Grandpa...
You know where Man Ok is, don't you?
That... our editor-in-chief knows...
I... just...
only know that Man Ok and Kang Hwi-nim are together.
Lead the way!
What?
Ah! What are you doing? Lead the way!
Why aren't you picking up your phone?
Jang Man! Pick up your phone!
Are you really going in?
Now... it is also very late.
Man Ok... will be really surprised...
Jang Man Ok! Jang Man Ok!
Yes, Grandpa...
Jang Man Ok!
Grandpa.
Jang Man Ok!
Grandpa, how did you...?
Man Ok.
Did someone come?
Why is it so noisy?
That is...
Gra... Grandpa...
Jang Man Ok!
What, on earth, are you doing here?
You said to trust you.
But this is what you are doing? You are living in a guy's house?
You deceive your grandfather.
And you were working as a stylist or whatever?
Grandfather, I am sorry. This is all because of me. Man Ok...
I didn't ask you.
Jang Man Ok,.
Pack your bags immediately and follow me!
About what happened, I will ask you at home!
Ga Ryeong.
Help Man Ok pack her bags.
Yes, Grandpa.
For not telling you everything frankly...
I am sorry, Grandpa!
But!
Trust me.
I have never done anything you will be ashamed of, Grandpa.
Are you saying that you have no thoughts of coming with me?
I am sorry, Grandpa.
I can't go now.
Fine.
Instead, don't even think about stepping one foot into Man Ok Kwan again!
But, Grandpa.
Let's go now.
Don't even think about stepping one foot into Man Ok Kwan again!
Rude Bastard.
Yes.
Why won't you pick up your phone?
Do you carry your phone around for style?
I had it on courtesy mode.
Why did you have it on courtesy mode?
What will you do if there is an urgent call?
It slipped my mind completely and I went to sleep.
But why are you shouting?
Because you won't pick up!
Did I purposely not pick up?
Do you think I am someone who doesn't pick up because I am sulking like you?
Anyway,
there is a problem.
Perhaps, Grandpa will go there.
He already came and left.
Jang Man, are you okay?
I am fine.
It was something I had to experience once.
If Grandpa says anything to you, just say you are sorry regardless.
Ok?
I will take care of it on my own.
You needn't worry about me, too.
Anyway, it's a relief that you are okay.
Then...
I will hang up.
Wait!
Are the preparations going well? The rival stage...
I don't think it is something that Won Kang Hwi's stylist should be asking.
If you have nothing else to say, I'm hanging up.
You bad... rude bastard!
Wow! You must have liked that song a lot.
I guess.
Strangely, I keep developing affection for it.
The President said that the song has no popular appeal and that we should remove it as it is not good.
Hyung, how would it be if you added lyrics to this song?
Lyrics? Why?
Just...
I was curious how this song would feel if it had lyrics to it.
What's the use when it won't even be in the album?
Anyway, once you get a new song,
you won't have any time recording and practicing it.
Why don't you write it yourself?
Me?
You put a lot of thought into it. Try it!
You never know. This song could be really your song.
Baby Why
How is it?
I need to polish it up some more.
Wow!
This is even a bigger hit! It is excellent!
How do you guys like it?
It's good!
I think it suits our mood very well, too.
It is better than the previous one!
I also have a good feeling about it, Hyung-nim!
It will be completed in a couple of days.
Let's make the recording schedule as soon as the song is completed.
Thank you, Sang Dae!
I trust only you!
Hyung-nim, why are you acting like this?
We have arrived.
It's here?
Yes.
Do you see the sign that says "Wolf House? "
Wolf House
Why are those guys there?
What are they doing here?
Hyung-nim!
Shocks!
Without even knocking, I was shocked!
Ah! It is too soft for knocking.
What are you writing so diligently?
Ah! It's nothing.
Why?
It is your turn to do the dishes for dinner today.
Since this morning, I felt like I am catching a cold.
My body is really...
Go Dong.
Today, could you...
No, I can't, Hyung-nim.
I want to do it, in your stead, a hundred, no, . . . a thousand times.
Ah! But Grandpa...
gave orders saying that we should decide who should do what.
If I get caught doing it for you instead,,,
Ah! Forget it!
I will do it!
What did he write?
Your smile,
Do you only send it to me?
Behind that sweet smile,
there seems to be someone I don't know about.
Oh!
Why are you doing that?
Why are you doing that, Jang Man?
Huh?
Jang Man!
If it is Jang Man,
then Stylist Jang?
This is all because of your owner!
What is so likable about a guy like him!
Tae Ik, why? Are you feeling itchy?
Hey, Baek Go Dong!
Did you, by any chance, come with fur on?
No!
I wore cleanly washed clothes.
Anyway, it's not me!
He is acting like that purposely.
He is doing that because he is nervous about getting the song.
True, my heart is also pounding.
Let's go!
Let's go together, Hyung-nim!
Our title song should be good!
We heard just a little bit of it, but I got a good feeling!
Sang Dae, that fellow, he is a complete genius!
Why? Why aren't you going in?
It's locked.
That's not possible. We were to meet at 2 o'clock.
Did he go somewhere nearby?
Give him a call.
Yes, I should call.
Hey! Where are you?
Did you forget that we were to meet at 2?
I'm sorry, Hung-nim.
Sorry?
What are you sorry about?
I gave the song to someone else.
What?
Someone else?
Someone else, who?
Hey! How could you do this now?
I'm very sorry, Hyung-nim.
Hey! Is this something that will become okay by just saying that you are sorry?
Tell me, someone else, who?
You said you would give us the song, why suddenly?
Did you, by any chance...
U Entertainment?
Did Lee Jun come to see you?
Hey!
Hey!!
What are you saying?
U Entertainment? What did L.J. do?
Won Kang Hwi!
Why are you doing this? Are you crazy?
Did you want to win by even doing something like this?
Tell me so that I can understand!
Hey, Tae Ik, why are you doing this? Let go of this and then talk.
Hyung-nim, let go of this!
If you step down as the loser, there will be nobody who remembers you!
You decided well.
I wish you would make your position clear, Styllist Jang.
Hey! Baek Go Dong!
What is that song?
This... I just made it.
What?
What did you say?
Let's enter with a perfectly self-composed song!
It will be good to be prepared.
I will show you!
Kang Hwi-nim ... His eyes... he can't see!
Lee Tae Ik!
Don't be stubborn.
This stage... you can't be on it.
