Episode 22

I asked you to call me
if you changed your mind.

I wasn't expecting such a surprise.

Do you still trust Shinhyuk Kang?

If you're here about the scandal,
I have nothing to say.

Are you in love with him?

What?

Don't let him fool you.

He's only using you, like he used Suah.

You don't want to end up like Suah, do you?

You're wrong.

I'm sure that's what you want to believe.

I know he can be persuasive

and very sweet,

but that won't last long.

No one believed me with Suah
so my article went unnoticed,

but this time, the truth will come out.

I have to go.

Do your members know?

His credibility must've dropped
after the scandal with you.

It'll be a major shock if they find out
about the truth regarding Suah.

The truth?

You better not try to manipulate them.

No matter what anyone says,
Mr. Kang is a good person.

We'll see how long you feel that way.

This is so shocking.

I thought Youngjoo's spot
as no. 1 was rock solid.

At this rate, Suji could really take first place.

To be honest, the Rookie Team
was good this time.

I was really moved.

The music video was Suji's idea.

She made all the props herself.

Suji did a lot of work.

She wasn't the only one. We all did.

Haseo has every right to be mad.

We all worked hard together,
but she's in last place.

We all put the same amount of effort
into the missions,

but Suji's always the one
that gets the most points.

I know it makes all of you mad.

Yeah. It's not fair.

Mr. Kang is showing favoritism.

There were always bad rumors about him.

I think there was something
between him and Suah.

What are you talking about?

Danoh saw them.

Mr. Kang and Red Queen's Suah?

Yes.

Back then, I just thought they were arguing
over the new album.

But after Suah died,

and Mr. Kang just left,

the rumors kept spreading,

and I felt terrible for a long time.

The way they were arguing
at the recording studio

felt like there was something going on
between them.

What? One person and twin sisters?

That's ridiculous.

If that's true,

I can't work for someone like that.

- Yeah.
- It's disgusting.

You find it that hard to trust Mr. Kang?

I'm disappointed in all of you.

Think about everything he's done for us.

Who's disappointed?

Get your head on straight.
You're being used.

Yeah. He could've manipulated
both you and Suah.

If he really cared about you,

he would've said something
when the scandal broke out.

He did it for us!

Mr. Kang couldn't tell the truth

because of me and Suah.

Suah...

She...

She was sick.

No way...

How could that happen...

We feel terrible.

Suji, are you okay?

I'm fine.

No, I'm trying to be fine.

We're so sorry.

Talking about things we knew nothing about...

Why didn't you just tell us?

If you had...

I only found out a few days ago.

When I first heard about it,

it was too much for me to handle.

It felt like Suah

was dying all over again.

I didn't want my parents
to have to feel that again.

It wasn't because I didn't trust you all.

Mr. Kang said that would be best.

For my family.

Suji...

And...

it was hard for me to talk about it.

Suji!

Where are you all going so early?

We have to apologize to Mr. Kang.

Yeah, I didn't sleep a wink last night.
I felt so awful.

Me too.

I regretted what I said.

I really thought it was you.

Haseo Kwon!

Grandfather!

How dare you!

I'm disappointed in you.

Oh no...

Come with me!

- Grandfather!
- Haseo.

Excuse me.

- Grandfather!
- Haseo.

- Hurry up.
- What seems to be the problem?

Who are you?

I'm in charge of these girls.

In charge?

Sir, please calm down and talk to me.

I don't want to hear it.

Hold on.

You...

How dare you?

I have nothing to say
to a despicable man like you!

You're coming with me!

- Grandfather!
- Haseo.

Brother.

Hurry up and come.

Please, brother. Do something.

Come along!

King of scandals, Shinhyuk Kang

Her grandfather is really
a force to be reckoned with.

I was so intimidated.

Yeah. Did you see how pale Haseo was
when she was dragged away?

I don't understand.

So her family was opposed to her
being a singer?

They didn't know at all. Haseo didn't tell them.

I heard her family is really strict.

You think she'll be okay?

What if she can't ever come back?

No way...

- That can't happen.
- It'll be okay.

It's one thing after another.

Is 825 Entertainment jinxed?

Shouldn't we come up with a plan?

Her grandfather was really angry.

I don't think he'll let her go easily.

Mr. Shim, aren't you going to do something?

And where is Mr. Kang?

Is he all right?

It was a big blow to him.

He left a while ago without saying a word.

I see.

Yes, Mr. Shim.

No, I'm all right.

I'll take care of Haseo's situation.

Just give me some more time.

Yes, thanks.

Darn it.

You're back.

Women should know their place at home.

From now on,
you're in charge of your daughter.

Teach her how to keep house.

I'm going to marry her off
and get her out of this house!

Yes, sir.

I'll prepare your dinner soon. Get some rest.

I'm back again.

To a place with no freedom, no hope, no dreams.

This isn't a home.

It's a prison.

There.

Mmm.

Well, are you making
the malt properly this time?

Yes, my husband is spending a few days
at the distillery keeping an eye on it.

The home-brewed liquor has been
in the family for generations.

It's full of our ancestors' spirit.

So you must put your heart and soul into it
when you make it.

I'll keep that in mind.

Are you all right?

No wonder you can't even teach
your children properly.

What have you ever done right
as a daughter-in-law?

I apologize. I apologize.

I'll get you a new fish.

Never mind. Just get me some hot rice water.

I'll get it.

Men don't belong in the kitchen!

Stay.

I'll do it.

I've lost my appetite.

You! How dare you?

What were you thinking? Huh?

How dare a girl step on the threshold!
It's bad luck!

I'm sick of you saying
"girls this and girls that" all the time!

What?

So what if a girl steps on the threshold?

What does it matter if
a man goes into the kitchen?

What...

Why do women always have to
sacrifice everything in this house?

I'm sick of it all!

Haseo!

You've been hanging out with
those good-for-nothing girls

and became just like them!

They ruined you!

Don't say that!

This is my dream, and it's what I want to do.

Oh my...

What? Being an entertainer is your dream?

Why that...

Stop shaming the family name,

and prepare yourself to be married.

I'm too young to be married! I don't want to!

I don't want to be trapped all my life
like my mother!

So you want to leave this house?

Yes.

If I can.

Get in. You're not leaving that room.

Grandfather. Grandfather!

You're not going anywhere!

You were born into the Kwon household,

and that means you will be modest
and well behaved

until you are married, understand?

Grandfather. Grandfather!

Make sure she doesn't take one step
out of the house

and don't let her have her cell phone.

If she tries to run away and humiliate this family,

you'll have to answer to me, understand?

Grandfather. Grandfather!

Grandfather!

Haseo

Please leave a voice message

after the beep.

Youngjoo.

What are you doing out here?

I needed some air.

Haseo hasn't been answering her phone
ever since she was dragged away.

I don't know if we should prepare
for the mission without her.

I understand how you feel,

but there's nothing we can do.

This is a family issue.

And I'm sure she has a good reason

for not being able to tell us.

I'm not saying we should give up
on her like before.

But until she comes back,

all we can do is train hard, I think.

I know. That's not why I was looking at you.

I was just thinking that you've changed a lot.

She'll be back. Don't worry.

And...

I'm sorry.

I wanted to apologize for before.

I'm sorry for misunderstanding.

It's ok. I know exactly how you feel.

Let's share our individual song lists
for the mission.

We'll check to see if there are any overlaps
with the Debut Team tomorrow,

and make the final decision then.

Okay.

I'm going to work at the convenience store.

That was embarrassing.

Sorry.

Let's all go.

I'm buying today.

- Really?
- Really?

Let's go.

- I'm stuffed.
- Yeah.

You know, it feels weird

having to perform individually.

We've always practiced together.

Me too. I don't know if I can perform
an entire song on my own.

If Haseo were here,

she'd have said,
"This mission is no fun."

You sound exactly like her.

I miss her.

Me too.

I wish we could at least talk to her grandfather.

He was so mad,

he wouldn't listen to us.

It's not fair.

Mr. Kang is getting a bad rap.

He totally treated him like trash.

What can we do?

It's not like we can go over and protest.

Huh?

Let's do it. All of us.

What?

Let's go and try to persuade him.

Then should we go right after
Jiseul's shift tomorrow?

Yeah, let's go and get Haseo back.

It feels like we're going on a trip.

I'll go with you.

You're going to see Haseo tomorrow,
aren't you?

I want to go with you too.

Sori...

But...

I'm going, too.

You, too?

Yeah, I got into an argument with her last time,

and I feel bad for not apologizing properly.

She's been feeling down about it.

Stop it.

Jane.

We may be competing against each other,

but we're still family.

One of us is gone.

So we have to do something.

Why don't you come, too?

What?

You're part of the family now, too.
You're going to come, right?

Yeah, let's go and look around
Andong while we're there.

Let's all go then.

- Huh?
- Really?

Why? You were going to leave me behind?

Youngjoo!

Of course not.

Things are tough because of the scandal,

but we should stick together.

It's time we believed in one another.

Youngjoo...

Have you ever been to a place like this before?

Guys, over here!

Look at this place.

It's like a folk village.

Yeah, or a village in a drama.

- Me too.
- Okay.

Hey. We're not here to play.

Let's keep going then.

- Yeah.
- Come on.

Why is Haseo's house so far?

So all the girls went to Andong?

Yeah, they went to protest or something.

They said they'd bring Haseo back.

What should we do?

The Debut Team went too? I'm proud of them.

The 10 girls finally seem like a team now.

What?

Nothing.

I don't see Danoh.
Is she at the recording studio?

Yes. Despite everything that's going on,

Mr. Kang asked us to

proceed with the final mission.

Of course. We need to be a strong shield

for the girls so that they can do their best.

That's what a true adult would do
for those in his care, is it not?

- Did you just fall for me?
- Pardon?

Don't, you'll only get hurt.

I have to go and meet Coco
for the live commentary.

Do you think the girls will be all right?

Maybe I should go after them...

No. They'll be fine on their own.

They should be there about now.

Why have you been doing this since last night?

Grandfather says he won't meet with you.

Mr. Kang is still here.

What is he trying to do?

This is important to Haseo.
I'd like to meet her grandfather...

I wasn't going to say this.

But my grandfather is angrier
because of that article about you.

You recruited innocent girls,
promising to make them singers,

and then you get into a scandal with them?

Our Haseo will have nothing to do with it.

It won't change anything even if she leaves.

No, it changes everything.

This is Haseo's life.

To you, she may be just one of many girls,

but to Haseo and to the other girls,

this is their entire life.

I don't care what you think of me. But...

This is about Haseo and the girls.

If she leaves, they'll be hurt again.

So please.

Help me so that I can
persuade her grandfather.

Please.

I'm sorry. I can't help you. Please go.

I'll wait until he comes out.

It won't be any use. You have to go.

Please.

It's no use doing this.

Please go away.

I'll wait.

Mr. Kang...

What are you doing here?

We're here to bring Haseo back.

Go home. There's nothing you can do.

But we came all the way here.

We can't just go back.

Then you're not going to train
until Haseo comes back?

If she can't leave this house,

are you going to give up on the mission?

Well...

Go back. I'll handle things here.

Even the girls are here?

Oh, goodness.

If grandfather finds out, he'll have a fit.

He says this is Haseo's life.

I kept telling him he can't meet you,

but he refuses to leave.

Oh no...

If I said I wasn't going to see him,

he should know to leave.

He's still trying to win the argument? Darn it.

I don't like him at all.

That's it. Just ignore him.

Haseo's friends are all here, too.

What?

It seems they were training together,

and they're here to take Haseo back.

What?

Those good-for-nothings
have come all the way here?

What is the world coming to?

I'm going to give them a piece of my mind.

Show the way!

I won't say it again. Go home.

What's the meaning of this?

What are you doing in front of my house?

Sir. I won't take much of your time.

I have nothing.

And I don't want to see those entertainer girls,
so leave!

Sir.

Well? Send them away.

Humph, look at the way they're dressed.

How vulgar.

Sir! Sir!

- Sir!
- That's enough!

You've seen how he is.

Stop being stubborn and go back.

He'll never let Haseo become a singer.

- But...
- You should go too.

You'll only get Haseo into more trouble.

You kept telling us to leave,

but it looks like you were kicked out too.

Hey.

I didn't want you to have to hear all that.

So you should...

No, we're going to stay.

No matter how much we think about it,

we can't leave Haseo here.

Yeah. If she wanted to be here,

we wouldn't have come.

But that's not the case.

Yeah. Doing the final mission without her

would be totally meaningless.

And about the incident before...

We'd like to apologize.

We really thought

that the scandal might be true.

You were the one who brought Suji,

and she seemed to be your favorite.

So we thought it could be true.

But we were wrong.

It doesn't matter.

Yes, it does!

We know that it isn't true.

From now on, we'll trust you no matter what.

And we're going to follow you all the way.

So don't send us back.

Yeah. Don't send us back.

We apologize.

And thank you.

We'll work even harder from now on. Yeah?

Yes, Mr. Shim.

The girls went there but I guess it's no use.

Right. Her grandfather
won't be easy to persuade.

He won't even talk to me.

Will you be coming back to Seoul then?

No. I'm going to do everything I can.

It's not like Haseo wants to leave the team.

Yes, we should do what we can
to make her dream come true.

Right. I'll call you later.

- Mister.
- Yeah.

Here. Enjoy.

Thanks.

Do you want some?

No, sir.

Buy some with your own money.

Even if loneliness finds you, don't be sad

It'll only hurt my heart more

Of all the people I run into on the streets

You're the only one who loved me

I should've done more
to make your dream come true.

What's this sound?

I told them to go home...

What? Send them away, now!

Are you sure Haseo can hear this?

Yeah. She'll know we're not giving up on her.

Yeah. Should we dance?

Jiseul, you too.

- Let's dance.
- Here?

Could they still be here?

Stay a little stronger

As we look into each other's eyes

Where is the end to this glittering road

Over way up high, one for all

One for all

Waiting all this time, wishing desperately

I was the only one standing still

I can't give up, because you're here

We can overcome this together

Even if I fall, I'm going to start over

Your wish, my wish, our wish added...

Stay a little stronger

As we look into each other's eyes

Where is the end to this glittering road

Over way up high, one for all

One for all

You look better than I thought.

Mr. Shim.

What are you doing here?

It's about time I stepped in.

You all...

I told you to go home.

You're only making it harder for Haseo.

We apologize.

Mr. Shim.

I'm the CEO of their agency.

Can you tell Mr. Kwon that someone
who knows Bomi is here?

How do you know Bomi?

You sponsored her for a long time, didn't you?

How did you know?

Bomi told me.

A long time ago, when I was in Andong,

I was a regular at her restaurant.

I liked the Rich Soybean Paste Stew there
and frequented the place.

Naturally, I got to know
the daughter there, Bomi.

I happened to learn

that she wanted to be a singer.

I honestly wanted to help her
achieve her dream,

but I ended up breaking it instead.

Back then, I was nothing but a hooligan.

I gambled and went around the country
with my men

interfering with business interests
in redevelopment areas,

sometimes resorting to force.

But then one day,

I was away in Seoul,

and my men got orders from above

and destroyed Bomi's restaurant.

By the time I found out and came back,

the restaurant,

and Bomi were all gone.

I really wanted to make her dream come true.

But I ended up ruining it instead.

You're the first one I'm telling.

For the first time in my life, I have a dream.

I want to be the best singer in Korea.

I promise I'll become a great success
and repay you for everything you did for me.

Please cheer me on.

I sponsored many children,

but Bomi was the one
who constantly wrote me thank you letters.

She was always grateful.

She said she could dream because of you.

For a long time, I felt guilty

for destroying that sweet little girl's dream.

So I became a new man, and lived a quiet life.

And now, to atone for what I did to Bomi,

I'm helping other girls achieve their dreams.

By the way, I came to see you once
about Bomi.

But you were away.

That's when I met Haseo,

and learned that she wanted to be a singer,
just like Bomi.

I wanted to support that dream.

So I'm daring to tell you now,

the way I want to support Haseo,

and the way you supported Bomi

are no different.

That was Bomi. My granddaughter is different.

I can't allow it.

You sincerely supported that girl's dream.

Why can't you support your granddaughter's?

How can you compare the two?

My granddaughter must follow

our family's rules and traditions.

Is family tradition that important?

More than your granddaughter?

It's for her own sake.

That's where you're wrong.

What could be more unfortunate than

not being able to do what you want
because of your family?

If she really wants to do it,

you should be able to let her try.

She could ruin her life.

She could fail, or she could succeed.

But that too is her life.

What could be more happier
than choosing your own path,

no matter how tough it may be?

Dreams that you don't try to achieve,

only leave regret.

Even now, I'm full of regret every day

because of Bomi.

If you stop your granddaughter
from chasing her dream,

you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

So please give her your permission,

so that Haseo can achieve the dream
she always wanted.
