(Episode 4)
Please forgive me this once, Chunhui.
I've been thinking,
and no matter hard I think,
I come to the conclusion that you're my only way
to remain in this industry.
You're all I have.
I can't promise any results,
but I think I can make you a good singer.
So, I know I don't deserve it,
but please...
Please give me one more chance.
Please, Chunhui.
Crazy idiot.
You don't have to go to the club anymore.
I talked to Shine Star.
They'll sign you up. So...
Do I look that dumb to you?
- No... / - Do you know how I felt in that room?
I thought, "This must be the end."
"This must be the rock bottom."
But it kept getting worse and worse.
Things always went well for you! You have no idea
how I felt!
I want to stop now.
Choi Chunhui.
I really
can't do it anymore.
True. Why would she do it?
I couldn't, either.
Aren't you going to start?
Yes, Sir.
Stop!
Show me your hand.
You're giving him a tip?
I'll give it to him.
Thank you.
Make it more exciting.
You're killing the mood!
What? Are you mad?
Fine, I'll give you a drink.
That must be refreshing.
Is it good?
Things always went well for you! You have no idea
how I felt!
You still think the world, no, the universe
revolves around you, don't you?
Keep living that way.
Let's see how you end up.
Study hard.
Look! It's Mister!
Mister...
He reeks of alcohol.
Mister, get up.
You'll be eaten alive by mosquitoes.
Don't mind him.
Let's go. We'll be late.
Hey. Have you thought it over?
- What? / - What else? To work with me.
Forget it.
Wait a minute.
Please, Sir.
Can't you let me live month-to-month?
I can't move out right now.
Please, you know our situation.
Have you worked at places like this?
Yes, a few times.
You should be warned if you hire her.
She has two loan sharks after her.
I was buried in the ground because of her, too.
If you want to experience that...
Hey!
Seriously!
Why are you doing this to me?
Is it fun getting in my way?
I don't have time to kill like you do.
I'm not doing this because I have time to kill.
I'm serious.
Choi Chunhui.
Please trust me.
I'll make you a singer.
I can't promise it'll happen soon, but I can do it.
You need to make money and repay your debt.
Since when did you care about other people's debt?
And yet you sold me out and took off?
I'm really sorry about that.
- But I've amended everything. / - Whatever.
I don't want to have anything to do with you.
So please get out of my life.
Please!
Seriously.
Yes, Coach.
Yes.
- My mom went to Europe for a month. / - A month?
The company sent her since she worked for four years.
She was so happy, I couldn't stop her.
That's why I'm here.
Welcome. How many are in your group?
- Two. / - This way, please.
Let me know once you've decided on something.
What, she found a job already?
Welcome.
Excuse me.
May I ask you for a favor?
- Who's that? / - Don't mind him.
He looks like some celebrity.
That... I can't remember.
- Excuse me. / - Yes?
You are the one who sang "Chili Pepper", right?
Sorry?
- I guess not. / - You're right! "Chili Pepper"!
You saw the video clip of her audition, right?
Wasn't her performance fun?
See? I was right!
That video is a huge hit right now.
Hey, get her autograph.
May I get your autograph? I'm a fan.
Go on. He wants an autograph.
I don't have an autograph.
- Just write your name. / - My name...
Hello, I'm Choi Chunhui.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
You must've lost your mind.
Why are you clapping?
She's so good.
You really must've lost your mind.
Turn it off!
What's wrong with you?
He must really have lost his mind.
What on earth?
Hey, Chunhui.
How does it feel to be a star?
You know I have no talent in that field.
Stop being modest.
You said that when you began running, too.
I did not.
You have a talent for making people happy.
Couldn't you tell by looking at those people
listening to your song? It was so obvious.
What?
I didn't order anything.
- What is that? / - I don't know. It was outside.
Open it.
Wow, it's the chips I like.
You're right. This too.
- It's your favorite melon. / - Let's eat this later.
Shall we cook up some meat tonight?
Daddy will make money and come get you soon.
Please wait a little bit.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad! Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad.
Dad!
Hey, kid.
What are you doing there?
Dad sent us a letter.
Did you find Dad?
Chunhui.
Here.
What is that?
I saw Dad's letter.
We can live with him if we have money, right?
Come here.
You're such a good girl.
We have radishes, onions, potatoes,
fruits, and vegetables!
♪ I cross hill after hill ♪
♪ But there is still one left ♪
She sings so well.
- You're so cute. / - Radish?
- She is my daughter. / - She is a good singer.
If I sign with Shine Star, can I pay off Dad's debt?
What?
If I make it as a singer, can I make money?
Yes. I don't know about a lot of money,
but you should be able to pay off his debt.
Fine. Then let's do it.
You'll do it?
You're saying you'll sing, right?
You can't change your mind later.
I need money for my family to live together.
This is the only way right now.
But remember this one thing.
It's not that I trust or forgive you.
Who knows when you'll betray me again?
I will use you
as much as I can to become a singer, got it?
But can you sign a contract with a psycho?
Pardon?
At the club. Isn't that what you called me?
A psycho?
Oh, that...
I'm sorry, Sir.
If you don't mind, it's fine with me.
I get that from time to time.
Please have a seat.
How much can I get as a signing bonus?
I need money urgently. And a lot.
Look at this rookie singer
bringing up money before music.
Well, her father went somewhere because of money.
I need money for my family
to live together.
- 30,000 dollars in 3 months. / - Not right now.
But if you show us what you can do,
things may change.
Welcome to the Shine Star, Choi Chunhui.
Thank you.
- Yes, Sir. / - Manager Wang.
If you have any questions, ask him.
He'll help you a lot.
Isn't that right, Manager Wang?
Please show Choi Chunhui around the office.
Yes, Sir.
- Please come this way. / - Yes, Sir.
Thank you.
Won't she need a manager now?
Aren't you her manager?
- I'm her producer. / - Same thing.
Look, managers and producers are completely different.
Not to the person writing the checks.
What a jerk.
President Cho. Choi Chunhui just signed the contract.
Am I not her producer?
How can I be her manager, too?
Then what, shall I be her manager?
Fine. Whether it be manager or producer,
I'll do whatever you say, but you have to
release my comeback album for me.
Make her top the charts within the year.
Jang Junhyeon's music career
depends on Choi Chunhui's success! Remember that!
Yes, Sir.
Please keep your promise.
We bought Choi Chunhui's house as instructed
and made it a month-to-month rental.
Good work.
- Enjoy. / - Enjoy.
- Are you okay? / - I'm fine.
More kimchi, please.
More soup, please.
- Enjoy. / - Thank you.
Myeongsik?
- Oh, my gosh! / - What in the world!
I'm sorry. Sorry!
I'm sorry.
Give me some more kimchi.
I'm sure it was Myeongsik. Was I mistaken?
My goodness.
Kids.
I'm really sorry.
Now that you're part of the Shine Star family,
let me give you some tips as your producer.
So pay close attention.
A musician like me doesn't need it,
but a rookie like you needs to
develop personal connections
in order to survive in the entertainment business.
It's extremely important...
Someone stiff like you
won't survive in this world.
Get lost.
So there are rules a rookie must abide by.
I'll teach you those today.
What are they?
- The first rule. / - First rule.
- Greet everyone. / - Greet everyone.
Run 100 m and make a 90-degree bow to everyone.
Hello, I'm Choi Chunhui.
That's because you got in through nepotism.
I think it's because of you.
- The second rule. / - Second rule.
Always smile in front of people with seniority.
- Smile. / - Do not frown.
Hello, I'm Choi Chunhui. Nice to meet you.
Hello, I'm Choi Chunhui. Nice to meet...
Nice to meet you.
Everyone must be busy.
Smile.
- Whiskey. / - Whiskey.
- Waikiki. / - Waikiki.
- The third rule. / - Third rule.
Eat everything seniors give you, even if it kills you.
Never refuse them.
Eat. Listen carefully.
Later, when you are at Suin's party,
you can't refuse what they give you.
You must eat everything they give you.
Eat it!
It's so complicated.
Yes, Agent Heo.
Now?
Yes, Sir.
Hey.
You're coming to my party, right?
I'll be late. I have something urgent to take care of.
Sorry, I know it's to celebrate your first album.
It's okay. Hurry back.
Where did he go? Why isn't he here?
- Goodness. / - Hey, rookie.
Oh, hello.
Hello, I'm Choi Chunhui.
- Sit. / - Okay.
Eat with me. It's cooked nicely.
- I don't... / - The third rule.
Eat everything seniors give you, even if it kills you.
Never refuse them.
I love noodles.
- Go ahead. / - Thank you.
Another bowl of noodles, please.
You're going to Suin's party later, right?
You have to drink everything they give you.
You can't go on an empty stomach. Eat up.
Thank you.
Good, good. That's a good girl.
- Oh, no! / - I'll pick it up.
- I can get it. / - It's okay.
Oh no!
Wasn't that hot?
Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry.
- I'm fine. / - Wasn't it hot?
I'm fine. I'm sure you didn't mean it.
You're not fine.
You can't go to the party like that.
I'll lend you something to wear.
- I'm... / - Change first.
- I'm fine. / - Come on.
- Did you take off your clothes? / - Yes.
Here.
Thank...
Did you think I'd just hand them over?
Wait a minute.
Wait...
Wait!
Please. Please open the door.
You're joking, right? Please open the door.
You're going to the party?
I, Na Pilnyeo, won't let that happen.
Please! Please open the door.
Oh, no! Please open the door!
Is anyone there?
Na Pilnyeo!
- Why isn't she answering her phone? / - The number...
you have dialed is currently unavailable.
Go ahead to the party. Something urgent came up.
Na Pilnyeo!
I'm trapped.
I guess no one is around.
When I get out, I'll...
Choi Chunhui.
Why are you locked up in here?
Did you upset someone?
Stay right there.
I've been staying here.
Mr. President. May I help you?
Park Suin.
- These are yours, right? / - Yes.
May I borrow one?
It's a good look on you.
- What? / - My jacket.
Oh, yes, your jacket.
Stay calm.
Are you going now?
Let's go together.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Hey, rookie.
Have a drink.
Okay.
You're not mad, are you?
That was just a ritual of initiation.
We do that to all the rookies.
- Right? We all did it. / - Of course.
Suin, what class are you in?
- Class of 27. / - Then who did you train with?
Yunju and Siwon.
What class are you in?
I'm not sure. What class am I in?
I see, you aren't in one
since you're here through connections.
Classmates are the best when things are tough.
Too bad you don't have any.
Of course she does.
She's classmates with me.
It's the class of connections.
Let's drink. Just the class of connections.
Cheers.
Three more times, and Choi Chunhui's debt is paid.
I know. How many times must I tell you?
But does she know
that you're doing this to repay her debt?
Don't say anything stupid to her.
I'm leaving.
I hope she's doing okay.
I'm nervous about leaving her alone.
Goodness.
Hey, where are you? Get back here!
Coming!
Hey, rookie!
Have another.
I drank a lot already.
What? You'll refuse your senior?
I put in a lot of love, so drink it.
Drink. Drink up.
Drink.
Hold on.
I'll be her black knight.
No, you can't.
What do you mean, I can't?
Why? Did you put in a laxative or something?
What?
Why would I put a laxative in a drink?
Stop joking!
- I'm not joking. / - What?
Drink up
It's going down smoothly
Excuse me!
- Don't come closer! / - Waiter!
Waiter!
Waiter!
This laxative works so well.
Choi Chunhui!
I'm in trouble.
Gosh.
What should I do?
Hey, excuse me.
Will you give me some toilet paper?
Korean people always help each other out.
Hey, you there!
I'm Na Pilnyeo.
I never forget acts of kindness, but I also
hold a grudge for a very long time.
Hey!
Hey!
Good.
We're one and the same, right?
Thank you.
You pervert.
I told you I never forget kindness.
Let's introduce ourselves
since we're both women.
Are you ignoring me right now?
Sorry, but I'm not done yet.
Whatever, you pervert!
Get out here, right now!
Aren't you that tteokbokki thief?
Hey, you!
You pervert! What are you doing here?
Why are you in the ladies' room?
You are the one who did something wrong!
I'm leaving now.
Hey, jerk! Hey!
Goodness.
I won't be able to go to work tomorrow.
You're fine.
Keep up the good work.
Hey, Suin.
You saw, right? That Chunhui is no joke.
Just what did she do to the president?
He kept protecting her!
She's so annoying.
I'm sure it's because she's talented.
Talented, my foot. She only sings trot music.
And did you see how she was dressed?
You're the star of the party.
Why was she more dressed up?
So annoying!
Actually, that was my dress.
What?
I wanted to wear it at the New Dream Concert.
Why was that witch wearing it?
The president took it, saying he needed it urgently.
I was shocked to see Chunhui show up in it.
I'm sure there was a reason.
You're way too nice.
Don't worry, I'll take care of everything.
Hey, Choi Chunhui.
Yes?
I have to hand it to you.
- I heard this is Suin's? / - What?
How could you steal Suin's dress
and show up wearing it?
I didn't know it was hers, I swear.
President Cho gave it to me, so...
What? President Cho gave you this dress?
Why? Are you his lover or something?
Since you can't make it with your singing skills,
you'll use your seduction skills, is that it?
You know that's not it.
This happened because you locked me
in the recording studio. You know that.
You witch.
Are you okay?
What? Why you...
Girls!
- Girls! / - Oh, my gosh!
I can't believe what just happened.
She just hit me!
- She shoved me! / - How dare you?
This is mutiny!
Hey, Choi Chunhui!
How dare you treat a senior like that?
Choi Chunhui!
What's going on?
Jang Junhyeon, I'm glad you're here.
You're her manager, right?
I said one word and she shoved me!
Teach her properly, will you?
Are you crazy?
I thought I had made myself clear.
How could you shove your senior?
Did you see it? Did you see me shove her?
With your temper, it's as clear as day.
You probably shoved her
because she said something to upset you.
Even if you're upset, you can't shove your senior!
You shouldn't even step on their shadows!
Did you listen to anything I said?
- Aren't you my manager? / - Producer!
Whatever.
You told me to trust you, that you'd make me a singer.
What does that have to do with this?
Yet you don't believe me?
And you disappeared without a word, today of all days.
I texted you that something urgent came up.
Something urgent like what?
Well, that's...
I can't tell you, but it was urgent.
You left me, so you don't know what's going on.
And why is it my fault I wore Park Suin's dress?
You don't even know who is responsible!
You wore Suin's dress?
That's Suin's dress?
Why do I bother?
Hey, Chunhui!
- Stop drinking. / - Let go!
I was a marathon runner,
so once I start, I have to see it to the end.
Choi Chunhui.
- Me? / - I'm telling you now,
I hate people like you who use their connections.
I hate them.
I'm sure you have a lot to say to me.
What do you say? How about a "blunt talk time"?
You haven't been drinking. We can't play that.
I didn't, but you're all pretty drunk.
Use alcohol as an excuse to get things off your chest.
- This is your chance. / - Hey, you!
Na Pilnyeo!
- You jerk! / - Shut it!
Shut it!
Manager Wang!
You jerk. Why are you picking on me?
He's here through connections, too!
You can't say a peep to him.
You jerk.
And you.
Class of connections?
Don't make me laugh. We're not the same.
Your connection is solid gold.
- Watch it! / - Yes, Ma'am.
So, let's have a drink.
Good going.
Walk straight!
You!
Look at you.
Here's your key.
Get home safely.
- Good night. / - Good night!
- Oh, Park Suin. / - Yes?
I called you a designated driver. He'll be here soon.
Thank you, Sir.
Choi Chunhui!
- Yes, President... / - Careful!
You're very drunk. I'll take you home.
It's okay. I'm fine.
No, you'll hurt yourself. Get in.
- But I'm fine. / - Get in.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
What? What's wrong?
Are you going to throw up?
No, please don't.
No, don't. There's nowhere to pull over.
- I'm sorry... / - Don't apologize. I know.
Don't nod! I know!
So please just stay still.
Stop it.
Goodness.
I'm sorry.
Do you even remember?
It comes and goes.
I'm sorry about earlier.
No, I'm sorry for being the president's son.
- Go in. / - Okay.
And thank you.
- For what? / - For driving me home and...
for rescuing me from the recording studio.
Thank you very much.
How peculiar.
Every time I see you, I end up helping you.
I'm not usually like that.
Then, good night.
Are you okay?
You're trying to follow me in again, aren't you?
Your spot is there. Sleep there.
That was so long ago.
It has nothing to do with me now.
Yang Juhui.
Don't even think about it.
Why are you so late?
I told you I had a party.
That's right.
Did many people come?
Yes, the president came, too.
He said he wasn't interested in the company matter.
So how's the new president?
I'm not sure.
He's unique.
Hello.
Here. I got it dry-cleaned, but
I didn't know it was yours.
I'm terribly sorry about last night.
It's okay.
Still, I'm very sorry. Have a nice day.
Shine Star has never had a trainee like her.
She failed the auditions and attacked her senior.
Then she spoke rudely to the president.
There are many complaints about signing Choi Chunhui.
So you want me to prove why Shine Star needs her?
- Yes, well... / - Sure. I'll do it.
- How... / - Like this.
Shine Star sponsors a concert
at the traditional market every year.
This year,
I plan to send Choi Chunhui.
What? Me?
Just get 500 votes by the end of the day.
Fill this box with them.
Can you do it?
That's nothing. We can get 1,000.
I'm good at things like that.
Fine, then let's make it 1,000 as he suggested.
Still, 1,000 is a bit...
Yes, let's make it 1,000.
He seems confident. 1,000 it is then.
Okay, I assume you all agree. I wish you luck.
Get to work then.
Wait.
Someone should check that each person puts in one ball.
Do we have any volunteers?
- I'll do it. / - Good.

Don't step on that!
Hey, lady! Don't step on that!
They are rolling away!
- Don't step on that! / - They are rolling away.
Don't step on it! Get them!
Put them in!
- What do we do? / - Wait!
- Wait! Go slowly, please. / - What do we do?
Slowly. Stop him!
Hey! Don't step on them!
Get them!
The balls are rolling away.
- What are you doing? / - Pardon?
- I asked what you're doing. / - The balls!
Excuse me!
What was your dream?
- Well, my dream was... / - She has never...
even thought of anything but singing.
She wanted to become a singer since she was a child.
I see. That's what I expected.
I'll move on to the next question.
You're very expressive when you sing
even though you are young.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Not right now.
Please edit that.
"Not right now"? That means you had one before.
Just say, "No, I don't."
No, I don't.
I see.
How about something more personal?
What do you do when you have free time?
I don't have much free time lately.
Then what do you want to do if you had the time?
You know what you do with me all the time.
Isn't this Park Suin's interview,
- not Director Yang Juhui's? / - Pardon?
I want to hear what Park Suin thinks.
Yes, I want to hear your honest thoughts.
Suin?
If I had time to spare, I would
just sleep.
I'd like to just sleep.
How could you say, "I'd like to just sleep"?
You should've said doing volunteer work or reading.
You're so thoughtless.
Imagine how disappointed people will be.
- People know that... / - Goodness.
volunteer work, reading, all that are just empty words.
Pardon?
"I'd like to just sleep." I liked her response.
She sounds human.
Goodbye, then.
Bye.
Mister. Mister!
Hey!
Who are you?
What? Who are you?
So I'm not a thief or anything
as you may think.
I just need to take this ball.
- Get your hand off of that! / - It's Jang Junhyeon!
Granny, he's Jang Junhyeon.
- Jang Junhyeon? / - You know me, right?
You're a smart little boy.
Who is Jang Junhyeon?
He's famous.
He's a singer.
- What? A singer? / - Singer?
Is that so?
If you're really a singer, sing for us.
- What? / - Go on. I need to hear for myself...
to decide if you're a thief or a singer.
I told you, I'm not a thief!
Fine, I'll sing.
Then you have to give me this ball.
♪ Do you know ♪
- What song is that? / - I don't know.
♪ More than anyone else ♪
- Not like that. / - Sorry?
Sing us a nice trot song.
What? A trot...
Granny, I will not
sing trot songs even if my life depended on it.
Of all genres, why trot music?
I'm an artist. I'm the best singer in Korea!
If you won't sing, I won't give you the ball.
Granny!
Fine, I'll sing.
Only because you remind me of my late grandmother!
But this is the first and last trot song I ever sing.
So you have to give me the ball.
Have you no trust in people?
Just sing already!

988.
989.
There's no more.
Okay, with a total of 989
she is short by 11 votes.
It's been decided.
Choi Chunhui's mission...
- Here! / - Over here!
Is the person who sang for us earlier here?
- Sir? / - What? There you are!
Thank you.
Why...
We are the representatives of Doremi Market.
We wanted to thank her.
Business has been tough and it's been hard on everyone,
but we laughed a lot thanks to her. It's been a while.
What is there to life? It's about laughing
and working hard. That's life.
The customers were laughing, so sales went up.
This is a token of our gratitude.
- Thank you. / - And here.
We found these.
What is that?
I hope it helps you.
Thank you so much!
Here.
One, two...
Eight, nine,
ten.
Ten.
What a shame.
You're still one ball short.
Wait!
Here's another ball.
1,000!
- Hurry up. / - 1,000.
It's too soon to celebrate.
How do we know this ball was from
people who enjoyed the performance?
What do you mean? Of course...
Of course it's a fail.
Of course, it's 1,000.
- What are you doing? / - It's 1,000!
- What are you doing? / - 1,000!
Thank you!
Okay, Choi Chunhui.
You have succeeded in this mission.
Thank you!
Thank you!
