Hi, assholes next door.
[Episode 2]
What are you doing right now?
What do you think I'm doing?
I heard you guys only study during Baek Ho's practice time.
So I'll do it, too.
Kang Yeon Doo... this is Baek Ho.
Obviously. It's not Real King.
Here.
An application to join.
I'm going to be a part of Baek Ho from today onward.
Wow... you're really something.
You just barged right in.
I completely understand your desire to join.
But...
you don't meet the qualifications.
Qualifications?
That only those with grades in the top five percent can join?
I looked over the qualifications and there's no such thing in here
so what's this bull you're spouting?
You just made that up for yourselves and took advantage of it.
Goddamn it...
Stop creating such a ruckus and get out.
No!
Get out!
You crazy...
I'm not leaving! No, I can't!
We lost our room to you so I don't even have anywhere to go!
All right?
Vice Pres.
Are you just going to keep watching?
Why do I need to do anything? It'll resolve itself.
- Let go! - You've really done it today.
Stop! Let me go! I'm going, see?
Yes, yes. Go.
Aw, Teach! Hold on.
Ow!
Am I a dog? Why are you dragging me?
- Let go! - Geez!
Stop it!
You have to be severely punished to come to your senses.
You can't even study, but you're always--
Get your hand off of her!
[Pow!]
Get your hands off of her.
I said, let go!
Give me the transfer papers immediately!
Ma'am... um. I think you're misunderstanding something.
Misunderstanding?
I just saw with my own eyes, and you're calling it a misunderstanding?
You treat my daughter this way just because she's not good at studying?
I'll get you for this.
Teachers like you, and schools like this...
I'm going to report it all to the Education Office!
First, calm down, ma'am... and slowly...
What?
I just saw my daughter being dragged in like this.
And you want me to calm down?
I feel like I'm going to go insane!
What are you looking at?
Is it your first time seeing a parent yell in the teacher's lounge?
Excuse me... let's not do this here, and go to the counseling center...
I thought you told me to trust you and entrust her to you.
I thought you said you'd care for her like her parent would!
But... you treat her this way just because her grades are a bit bad?
Schools shouldn't be doing this!
If you were a real school, you'd be teaching her
what real friends, real loyalty, and real consideration are!
What's the difference between this and a cram school that only cares about money?
- I apologize. - Huh?
I can't entrust my child to a teacher like you.
No! I will not entrust my child to this shitty school!
Get me the transfer documentation right now. Now!
Mom... Mom, I'm not transferring.
What?
Mom, I'm not transferring.
Transfer out!
What do you want me to do, then?
Mom.
How did you know to come?
Did Dong Jae rat me out again?
That Dong Jae is more your friend than mine!
What? What? What is it?
Did that just really happen?
Look at my hands shaking...
Why, are you regretting it now?
Geez.
What do I do?
What if this affects you?
I believed you'd transfer and went all out...
Yeah, you did.
Let's look over all the inappropriate terms you used... hm.
This won't do. I'll have to go back and get on my knees.
I'll tell them that it was temporary insanity
and I'll tell them not to hate you, even though they hate me.
Relax, okay?
Where did your cool bravado from before go?
But... I kind of felt relieved when you said you weren't transferring.
Geez... what's wrong with your mom?
No.
You'll really be okay not transferring out?
Will you be okay?
Yeah.
I'm not transferring.
I'll survive through any means necessary.
And get Real King back, too.
Whatever, then.
It's okay if you're not good at studying.
It's not like your grades could get any lower, anyway.
And dancing... I'll allow it since you love it so much.
- Really? - But...
I won't be able to stand it if you're ostracized or in pain alone, okay?
Got it.
Don't worry.
My little pup.
Mom, you were so badass today.
Come outside.
No.
I said come out, right now.
No, I'm not coming!
I told you, I'm joining Baek Ho. So why do I have to leave?
- You're really going to act this way? - Yes!
You want more punishment points?
Do you? Huh?
Yes, give me lots and lots. So many I'll be smothered by them!
Sorry about this.
Sorry.
[Let's stand in one line!]
Let's stand in one line!
Let's please wash our hands before eating!
Let's stand in one line!
Let's please wash our hands before eating!
Let's stand in one line!
Let's please wash our hands before eating!
Let's brush our teeth within three minutes after eating!
Friends, let's eat happily!
Let's not leave behind any side dishes!
Let's stand in one line!
Let's brush our teeth!
Let's stand in one line!
Let's not leave behind any side dishes!
Let's stand in one line!
Let's not leave behind any side dishes!
Let's stand in one line!
What is that? Do it better.
Here. Help us.
Yeah, help us.
Hey, it's getting on me!
- Stop it. - Stop!
They're so dumb.
The answer is right there, so why are they just using brute force?
No. They're Grade-A psychos.
Let's go.
Those little...
Leave them.
They're acting like actual eighteen-year-olds.
What?
Let's go.
Hey!
Stop right there.
Oh no... oh no..
No... no... no!
Stop it! Don't follow me!
We're always ending up like this.
One...
One! One, one, one! I'm getting off!
- You okay? - Yeah.
Hey, Dong Jae!
You're done?
Yeah.
Cheers!
What's this?
You're not having that, are you?
I was just curious about it.
Hey.
My friends got punishment points again today because of me.
They must be having a hard time, too.
But they want to help me through it.
Right side.
Dong Jae.
If Real King is gone forever...
how will I ever be able to face my friends?
Geez... really.
Kang Yeon Doo endures until the end.
Kang Yeon Doo will win against Sevit.
Hey, me too! Hey! Me too!
I, Kang Yeon Doo, will win against the principal!
Okay... Kang Yeon Doo...
will reclaim Real King!
Where are you going?
To clean.
Kang Yeon Doo will reclaim Real King.
I qualify in about 40 different professional fields
including ballet, violin, flute, swimming, science competitions, and more.
I can and I will provide satisfactory outcomes to your school
with my persevering ability to learn that would lead to outstanding results
once I start anything.
The kind of the talent we're looking for is not a unilinear type of person
capable of doing everything alone.
Like yourself.
The point is how you came through.
Have you ever had a friend who fell into a slump while you were doing ballet?
Do you think you ever gave hope to cancer patients with your flute?
Your qualifications are not real.
Okay. That's it.
What do you want me to do if I have another interview like this?
You said that they were all admissions officers.
They're all just people who have come to study.
Not everything they say is correct.
They said I lacked impact.
I'm telling you to get me...
the impact that I lack.
[Section Chief Lee]
I've arrived at your school.
What?
This is a mop, and this is a broom.
Oh... you don't know what these are since you've never cleaned.
Get out of my way. I'm not in the mood for you.
Hey, who asked you to do that?
- Clean. - Let go!
No.
Hey.
You're so thick-skinned.
If I were you, I wouldn't even be able to walk with my head up.
I thought you said you were different.
Isn't that why you ran out of here in style?
What?
Did you have regrets after leaving on a whim like that?
If you've crawled back in here, keep your head down quietly.
You can't even understand words. Number Two, my ass.
I'm asking you to clean, so why are you giving me such a long response?
All right. Since we're talking, let me say something.
I'm going to stick around here until the end.
Then, I'm going to see you fail with my own two eyes.
I'm going to see you get on your knees and apologize.
And...
I have to see you cleaning today for sure.
That wench...
I just wanted to try it.
- Yeah, whatever. - No, really!
By any chance... are you Kim Yeol?
So it is you.
You look better in person.
Who are you?
With your kind of skill, isn't a Korean university a bit of a waste?
How about an Ivy League school?
Think about it.
A person like you won't have any issues whatsoever.
Are you doing business here?
Oh, Soo Ah.
You have a lot of free time, don't you?
Since you even have time to be advertising for yourself.
Geez, don't say things like that.
Have you forgotten why I'm here?
It's to send you to Harvard.
Everything's a mess! A mess!
My phone is practically on fire!
Do you know how many parents have called me today?
All day today! It's insane!
I'm sorry, Principal.
But these punks won't break even though I've given them so many punishments!
It's the first time I've ever dealt with such idiots.
Um... how about reviving Real King?
Even if we give them a small storage space they'll be satisfied and pipe down.
Of course we can't!
I won't give up, no matter what.
One moment.
Clean, quickly.
You're here?
That's impossible.
Doing something like that all of the sudden is difficult enough
but you want her to win the regionals overnight?
It's impossible.
That's not right.
What did you say?
Wasn't it your way to stack on more specs for students with good grades?
Other schools mess with the grades a bit and sacrifice other students
when it comes to potentially sending a kid off to a great college.
And this is an Ivy League we're talking about.
You won't invest even that little?
Since your school is mired by controversy due to the Education Office...
Won't you have to fight a proper battle a year from now?
I'm not saying I won't.
I'm just informing you of the low probability.
Won't you just have to do everything in your power to increase it, then?
Principal.
Harvard is right around the corner for our Soo Ah.
What the hell are you doing?
Cleaning.
Isn't it the objective of cleaning to clean dirty things?
You told me to do it. So what's the issue now?
Stop right there.
There are rules even for fights between stray dogs.
And what are those?
That you don't disturb the most important things.
What?
You've only got trash anyway.
So tell me how it feels to have your own trash spinning in the machine.
Get out of my way.
Get over here.
Ah, I feel so much better.
I should've ripped all of her hair out!
Such pushovers.
Those small fries.
Real King hasn't died, huh?
Of course not. We're all here.
Joon Soo, are you crazy?
Hey, what the hell are you doing?
Real King's dead.
Come to your senses already.
You all don't care about college?
How long are you going to stand being treated as sub-human beings?
All you have to do is endure for a year and half.
You can dance or join a club at college all you want.
Just be as quiet as a corpse until then!
Hey.
How can we live like that, when we're alive?
I want to dance now. I want to be happy now.
Is that such a crime?
My eighteen-year-old self only has you guys, and this moment.
So I can't try to be happy in this moment?
Happy?
Nobody is allowing us to be.
They say we can't be, right now.
Why can't you understand what the hell I'm saying?
Hey. Yoo Joon Soo!
- Joon Soo! - Hey!
My heart hurts.
Hey, everyone.
What should we do first?
What style should we do first?
No, girl! It's this!
Like this!
Hey. What is this?
See? You're finally getting it. Like this.
That's not it. Get up.
One, two...
Those little...
I'll take care of them straight away!
Hey, what are you all doing here?
Where do you think this is?
Stand up straight!
What's with you, huh?
Are you cockroaches?
Why do you keep reappearing?
And you even look the part today.
Decide.
Running, writing an apology, or cleaning the gym.
An apology letter is a bit...
I wouldn't even have anything to write.
We cleaned the gym yesterday so I don't want to do that.
Want to go run? The weather is nice today.
Yeah, let's do that.
You little...
Are you planning a date, or something?
What?
Geez, you surprised me...
Oh... Principal!
I scolded these guys real good just now.
They won't go anywhere near Baek Ho--
Tell these students to come to the Baek Ho club room tomorrow.
Yes, ma'am.
Excuse me?
And tell the members of Baek Ho that all of them must be present.
I have something very important to say, you see.
Are you here to apply to our club again?
It's getting annoying throwing them out all of the time.
Oh, please.
It's not like you've ever even competed.
Hey, why are you hurting them?
We should have pity on them, with not a drop of muscle among them.
You little...
Why don't you stop baring your teeth already?
We were invited here today.
Invited?
By whom?
Why are you standing like that?
You should go inside.
In two months... Baek Ho, our cheerleading club
will compete in the regional competition.
- Are you kidding? - What are you saying?
So what you're saying right now
is that we're going to be a team with those people
and do that cheer... thing, or whatnot?
Why?
Oh. Well...
For the sake of the legacy of Baek Ho to be reclaimed
as decided by the school board.
Furthermore, adding in the dance skills of Real King will increase your--
That's enough, Teacher Im.
Since you're all clever kids, we should be straightforward.
Thanks to the trouble that Kang Yeon Doo caused our school before
the Education Office has demanded this of us.
Therefore...
Real King's Kang Yeon Doo, who caused this entire mess, and Baek Ho's Kim Yeol
will take responsibility in creating a team and winning the regionals.
- What? - You must be kidding me...
We can't do that.
How can we be on a team with these people?
This is totally like Mission Impossible!
If you win this competition...
I'll revive Real King.
You still... don't want to?
You'll really... revive our club?
Yes.
What should I say?
Should I agree?
I can't refuse.
Damn... what do I do?
What is she scheming?
What do I do?
All right, girl.
Why are you so doubtful? She says she'll revive Real King.
If for the sake of that, then we can do anything.
Yeah.
If you'll really revive our club...
we'll do--
If you're dumb, you should at least have some street smarts.
You really don't get what's happening here?
It's strange, no matter how you look at it.
Cheerleading, out of the blue?
Yes, hello, Section Chief.
I'm Sevit High's Kim Yeol.
Yes.
You were talking about Ivy Leagues before, right?
I'm interested, but I'm a bit lacking in specs.
Oh, Kim Yeol.
Nice timing.
You're in Baek Ho, right?
Don't worry.
Baek Ho is going to compete in a cheerleading competition soon.
If you just win that, the Ivy Leagues will be a cinch.
Why don't you get a consultation?
When are you available?
What... is that?
What is this?
One, someone here needs the victory for their Ivy League application.
Franklin Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush.
They're all American presidents who were in cheerleaders in college.
Ivy Leagues have traditionally favored cheerleaders.
Among all of the high schools in the area I've looked into...
there are only two places with cheerleading clubs.
If we were to compete, there's a 33 percent chance of victory.
If it's not 100 percent, there's no meaning to it.
When all they've been doing is studying, how can they win any prize?
Two... to Baek Ho, who has never competed in a cheerleading competition
winning the regional championship is out of the question.
Three...
Therefore, our principal decided to use Real King.
They have been dancing hip hop only.
They should be able to do the stunts for cheerleading.
We'll use these kids as pawns and all Soo Ah has to do is ride the wave.
So you want to use Kang Yeon Doo?
What do you mean, "use?"
She was abandoned by her school.
After the shutdown of her club, she feels lost.
You'll just be using true leadership to lead these sort of kids, is all.
And then, you'll take regionals.
Isn't that a perfect story?
So that's your story you came up with?
Wait a second.
Gosh, I haven't revealed the leading character.
Or do we already know that?
Kwon Soo Ah.
Am I right?
Are you using us in order to help Soo Ah get into Ivy League schools?
You make us do cheerleading and
we're doing it all for Soo Ah's benefit for her admission?
If that were true, what would change?
It's obviously his absurd imagination.
If it were true, isn't getting Real King back all you wanted?
Principal Choi!
When you said you'd bring Real King back I was so grateful to you briefly.
For the first time since I came to this school
I was treated fairly and given an equal opportunity.
But I won't go with this. I can't!
Even if I was discriminated and looked down on
I'll never be a puppet for Kwon Soo Ah!
Now what do we do, Principal Choi?
You will have to find another way to help Soo Ah's application.
Apologize to me.
For what?
Why should I apologize to you?
Do you know how privileged you are at this school thanks to me?
Including the air conditioning units in the classrooms...
My family paid for everything, such as the cafeteria and TVs.
What's the big deal with shaking your bodies a little bit?
I feel sorry for you.
You also know how you look right now, right?
I do know this.
You and I belong to a different class.
If I were to be reborn, you and I would never belong to the same class.
Because we wear the same uniform at school you think we're equal, huh?
Don't delude yourself.
The minute you graduate from this school
I will be somewhere you won't even dare to look at me.
So please watch your language around me.
You worthless thing.
Calm down, Soo Ah. Just listen to me first...
I told you not to irritate me.
I told you I'd get rid of you if it doesn't go well!
Do a discreet job.
Make everything return to the way it was before now!
If you don't...
you're fired.
Hi, Mom.
I know that.
Even if I do cheerleading or anything else...
I will definitely go to Harvard. Don't worry.
[Ding!]
Are you okay?
You again?
- You meant to do it again? - No, it was an accident this time.
Sorry.
Kwon Soo Ah, your life is tough too.
How much did you hear?
I asked how much you heard!
From the start to the end?
But I will soon forget.
Yeon Doo.
I understand you're upset.
But can we still go back and say we'll do it?
It's our only chance to bring Real King back.
I agree with him.
Do you guys agree with them, too?
Guys, who is Kwon Soo Ah?
She's the one who reported the kiss scene.
She's our enemy who made our Real King shut down.
How can we possibly do cheerleading with her?
I understand what happened.
If we just suck it up and get through the next two months
we will get our club room and Real King back.
- What is it? - What is it?
We're requested to inform our decision to participate in the dance festival.
What do you mean? Inform them we will definitely participate!
Hyo Sik, if you pick the first spot, you're dead.
Why did you have to remind us of that?
Guys...
Will you compete at the dance festival?
Why not?
We practiced so much in the club room with no air conditioning this summer.
If you don't want to do it, you can go.
What do you mean I can go? I will definitely join you guys.
Do you really think you'll do well without me?
Guys, let's go!
We will go win all the prize money!
- Prize money! - Let's go!
I really think I yelled too much that day.
If I don't make a proper apology Yeon Doo might get the blame.
What will be good, huh?
What present will be good enough for them
to forget what I did and warm up to Yeon Doo?
Wait, what do you bring when you go see your son's teachers?
Me?
Well, for me...
I got them the front door, new buses, and a new lawn.
Oh my, you're bragging!
Because of parents like you
our school is only taking good care of ones with money.
Problem is...
that's how the world has worked for a long time.
I agree.
I knew that she'd have a hard time but
I sent her there saying only for three years.
I'm such a bad mom, right?
If we can't change the world
it's parents' responsibility to send the kids out to the real world equipped.
Nothing will be gained without pain.
Is that why you sent your son to Sevit High too?
I didn't send him there.
He went there not to live with me.
Gosh, when he's only eighteen...
Why is he acting so hard to get?
Well, he got that from his dad, huh?
By the way, does your son look like you when smiling?
- You become so cute. - Oh my!
Seo Ha Joon! Seo Ha Joon! Hold him.
I said hold him, you punk!
Are you okay?
Are you okay? Are you?
Principal Choi.
Have you found a way to bring the Real King members back?
Pardon?
I might have found a way.
What is it?
When a doctor gets here, he will stitch him up.
Did my dad call yet?
Then...
Did you do this because of the conference yesterday?
If you did this ever again...
I told you that I'd kill you.
Ha Joon! Seo Ha Joon!
Wake up, Ha Joon!
Ha Joon! Ha Joon!
Ha Joon! Wake up!
Seo Ha Joon! Wake up, you punk!
Ha Joon!
You did a great job!
Congratulations!
Wow! Popularity Award!
Give it. Let me touch it. Gosh, it's gross!
Let me. Let me!
This is the trophy we earned after all that hardship, right?
Finally, the world is recognizing us, right?
We will move up to get to the final, right?
- Let's go! - Sure!
What's up with your response?
Well, Yeon Doo.
Gosh, this is crazy...
Yeon Doo, this is the final competition for us.
- What do you mean? - What are you talking about?
Frankly...
we won't be able to bring back Real King.
We don't even have the club room now.
Since we knew how you felt about this we wanted to be part of this competition.
Are you serious?
Gosh, this was all because of me, huh?
I'm really sorry.
Guys, it's okay.
When you think about it...
it's my fault that Real King was shut down.
It's my fault that we couldn't bring it back.
I understand.
You guys went through a lot because of me.
But since we're out of the school building
why don't we all go to a karaoke bar, huh?
- Let's go! - Let's go!
I'm very sorry, but I need to get back to school for something.
Well, I need to get back too.
Guys, this isn't how we should end.
Fine. Go ahead.
Yeon Doo, leave those disloyal guys.
- We will have a great time. - Hey.
I'm very busy today, too.
We will go next time with Joon Soo.
How did you fight the pain when it's this swollen?
Didn't it hurt?
It didn't hurt as much.
Kim Yeol. What brings you here? Are you hurt?
Mind your own business and be on your way.
Shocking. I was going to do just that.
Yeol.
- You didn't see us here today, okay? - Same goes for you too.
By the way, you seem badly hurt. Are you okay?
- Were you in an accident or something? - I said mind your own business.
Gosh, I bet he's getting expensive private tutoring to be mean.
Excuse me. How can you think I'll just take off without paying?
You know Sevit High, right? I teach math there.
They provide good health insurance. I will pay for the bills.
Do you want me to show you my ID? Sure, I will show you. Here it is.
You know where I work now and all...
I will not just run away without paying the bills.
So what is the total amount now? Was my insurance applied?
Oh my!
It doesn't usually come out this high.
It is so weird.
All right, then.
Hello. I'm trying to change my coverage.
Seo Ha Joon went that way.
I saw him go that way at such a fast speed.
Don't worry. I won't tell.
You know that you will be in trouble if the school knows about it.
Kang Yeon Doo is all about loyalty.
I won't say I saw you and Ha Joon here.
He seems badly hurt. Can he really hide that?
He will have to keep coming to the hospital.
Can you just stop talking?
- What? - It can't be.
How much is that coverage?
I don't know about that...
- What? - When did the late fee start?
That's weird. I set it as an automatic payment.
Can you cancel that option for now?
You are not so bad once you keep your mouth shut.
What are you two doing in there?
- Teacher Yang is gone. - I see.
Kang Yeon Doo!
Thanks.
Sure.
About this bill...
Can I pay on the six month installment plan, not the twelve month?
Seo Ha Joon.
Seo Ha Joon!
Is there a Seo Ha Joon here?
Excuse me, the person named Seo Ha Joon...
Did he have a Sevit High uniform on?
Ha Dong Jae!
- Are you okay? - Get lost.
Ha Dong Jae. What was that about? Are you okay?
How did Seo Ha Joon hurt himself?
I can't tell you.
You have a secret from me now?
It's not something I should talk about...
Seriously...
I should contact your parents.
Teacher Yang, I was wrong. I won't do it again.
I'm not doing this because you did something wrong.
If you're sick, you need to be treated.
Teacher Yang, if I get taken to my dad this time...
he might send me to a mental hospital.
Teacher Yang, please let it go just this once. Please.
Please don't tell Principal Choi about this. Please.
Did Ha Joon start hurting himself again?
If something happens to Ha Joon
I know his parents will look into a different place.
It's true, isn't it?
Did you call his dad yet?
Not yet.
I will decide what to do after I talk to you.
Pardon?
As for the regional preliminary contest for cheerleading...
You will join, right?
Plus, you will have to bring back Kang Yeon Doo and the other members.
Since you're the one who kicked them out...
you should do the clean up, shouldn't you?
There should be at least 10 members.
We have a problem since we don't have enough now.
I'm amazed at how influential Kwon Soo Ah's mom is.
She made you do this much.
Kim Yeol.
I heard you wanted to graduate with Seo Ha Joon.
This is called Stunt Cheerleading.
Ah, this is cheerleading?
- Can you do it? - It seems very difficult.
Now we have to do that?
I'm so sorry, but I need to get back to school for something.
I need to go back too.
Wow, look at those stars!
I don't see any.
Dong Jae.
I was betrayed again today.
How did that happen?
Seriously...
How did that happen?
I heard that you wanted to graduate with Seo Ha Joon.
I should contact your parents.
Aren't you hungry?
I'm sorry.
Crazy punk.
Why are you avoiding the Real King members?
When did I do that?
You came right out earlier when they were in the cafeteria.
I suddenly had to go to the bathroom at that time.
I have something to tell Kang Yeon Doo.
What is it? Shoot.
I wanted to talk to you alone.
Happy now? Do tell.
Kang Yeon Doo.
- Do cheerleading with me. - What?
Do cheerleading with me.
Have you gone crazy?
You were acting so cool revealing everything last time.
- What has gotten to you? - That was then.
Now I have to do it with you.
With all the members of Real King, too.
First.
I don't even face the one who goes back on his words.
Second.
I don't do anything remotely related to Kwon Soo Ah.
Third.
For that reason, I will not do cheerleading with you.

Man, there is a woman I wanted to kiss.
Wow.
Those tiny mistakes make you become second place only.
Do you really want to use that against us?
Don't provoke me.
If you don't want to see me go crazy...
To me, he's a friend and family.
In order to protect him, I have to do cheerleading.
Will this really work?
I will try then.
