Original subtitles

(Today is December 25, 2025, Christmas.)

(7am, coming to work early in the morning when it's dark)

(Today's must-have item, Ihabong)

- Hello. - Hello.

(Kwang Kyu comes to work first with the light stick.)

(He turns on the light.)

It's an Ihabong.

That, that galaxy.

We'll finally meet.

We'll finally meet.

- Are you excited? - Of course.

You're wearing a bright outfit today.

I put effort into it.

(I put effort into it.)

(Seo Jin's van)

Hey, why aren't you getting out?

(Hey, why aren't you getting out?)

Bbambbabambba bam bbambbabam.

(Displeased)

- Merry Christmas. What? - Get it together.

Get it together.

Hey, how could you say that?

(He's a bit sensitive from coming to work early.)

Did you bring it?

(Did you bring the light stick?)

We bought it back then.

- You bought it for me. - Really?

Back then at the Myeongdong Cathedral...

Back then?

You forgot that, right?

Back then, we drank a lot during the day.

It's cold. Tell this person to hurry up! Who is it?

(It's cold. Tell this person to hurry up! Who is it?)

- Who is it? - You should've dressed warmly.

You said that we'd be indoors.

It's cold.

(He spots My Star.)

(His face lights up.)

Hurry up.

It's cold. Let's wrap things up here and leave.

Why did you dress so coldly?

They told me that we'd be indoors.

- Hello. - Hurry up.

(The representative 4th generation idol group...)

(that leads the K-pop industry)

(The leader of IVE)

(With her clear eyes that resemble sunlight...)

(and craziness, she took over variety shows.)

Cat, six.

(The icon of Gen Zers...)

(and the perfect idol, An Yu Jin)

(And during the press conference of the show in October of last year)

Kwang Kyu keeps saying that he wants to meet Jang Won Young.

That's right. I want to meet Jang Won Young and An Yu Jin.

(He finally met My Star.)

This is nice.

(He finally met My Star.)

Hey, where's your scarf?

(Full of affection)

- My goodness. - It's cold.

All right.

It's cold.

(Kim Do Jin, An Yu Jin's manager)

- It's cold. - It's cold.

- Today... - All right.

Give us the card.

- It's cold. - Here is the company card.

(Due to the cold weather, he asks for the company card right away.)

The managers are so scary.

- It isn't like that. - It's because we're cold.

All right.

(The duties get transferred quickly.)

Today, she'll go to "SBS Gayo Daejeon."

- Are you an emcee this year? - Yes.

Didn't you know?

You won't sing. You're an emcee.

(My Star's 6th schedule as the emcee of "SBS Gayo Daejeon")

- Forget it. - How about IVE?

Everyone will be there.

- Will everyone sing? - Yes.

I'll perform and emcee the show.

(The K-pop festival the entire world watches, "The SBS Gayo Daejeon")

(All K-pop singers who made 2025 shine will be there.)

(Fancy lineup of 36 teams and performances)

(The performance will be aired live for 4 hours and 10 minutes.)

On "The 2022 SBS Gayo Daejeon..."

This is "The 2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon."

This is "The 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon."

(To 2025)

(She has emcee "SBS Gayo Daejeon" 6 times over the course of 4 years.)

(She'll also give a performance like a Christmas present.)

Hey, my experience in "Inkigayo" doesn't compare.

That show is about popularity of one week.

"SBS Gayo Daejeon" encompasses one year.

The scale is different.

(A bit nervous)

What's that bag?

It has the items she needs on the set.

- Everything she needs is in here. - Okay.

Her condition matters the most today,

so give her many compliments.

(To make her confident as "SBS Gayo Daejeon" MC, tell her she's pretty.)

You're so pretty. Yu Jin, you're so pretty.

You're so pretty. Yu Jin, you're so pretty.

You're so pretty. Seriously.

When she's on the road,

she likes to communicate with her managers.

It'll be nice if one manager sits by her side.

- Okay. - By her side?

By her side? I'll drive.

- You must be cold. Let's get in. - My goodness.

(They move hurriedly for My Star.)

Thank you.

Here is a blanket.

Thank you.

Why is it so cold?

(Rummaging)

Do you want a hot pack?

Yes, please.

Thank you.

(Moved)

- Seo Jin, do you want one? - No.

(My Star's first schedule, going to a concert hall in Incheon)

- Let's hit the road. - Okay.

Kwang Kyu,

you sing their song all the time.

- That's right. I saw it. - Of course, I know IVE's songs.

All songs become that one song...

as you sing.

(My Stars Ahn Eun Jin and Jang Ki Yong Episode)

(Learning "Golden," a song from "KPop Demon Hunters")

(He suddenly began singing IVE's song.)

(Galaxy)

(His head is filled with IVE.)

That's a song by IVE.

(The galaxy enthusiast of My Grumpy Secretary)

I'm a fan of "Galaxy."

The song title isn't "Galaxy," is it?

No.

Don't you know the song title?

It isn't "Galaxy."

Isn't it "I AM?"

- That's right. "I AM." - "I AM."

I studied yesterday.

The thing is,

I need to come up with a title...

other than "Senior" for you to put myself at ease.

Call me however you want. You can call me "Kwang Kyu."

I'd be uncomfortable with that.

- Call me "Dad." - "Father?"

- An English nickname... - Bigger Uncle.

- What? - Younger Uncle.

But...

He's older than your dad.

- Really? - Hey.

- Of course. - Why would you talk about my age?

My dad was born in 1970.

Your dad is the same age as me.

- Really? - Yes.

Pick an English nickname like Tom.

- He's Jerry. - Tom?

No. We used those nicknames...

during a previous episode.

- Really? - We can't use them.

They might be at the show.

- ALLDAY PROJECT? - I heard that they'd be there.

- Yes. - That's right.

But you shouldn't look after them.

We did that in the past...

- because of the shoot. - That's right.

Today, you're My Star.

(Today, we'll look after you.)

Today, you guys are my managers.

(Reassured)

Don't you usually work on Christmas?

It's Christmas today.

- Yes, it's Christmas today. - What did you do yesterday?

- Me? I had a rehearsal. - Did you sleep?

- Seriously. I couldn't move. - A rehearsal for this show?

- Yes, this one. - Did you rehearse last night too?

Yes.

We rehearse the night before.

I always come to INSPIRE Arena on December 24 and 25.

I see.

- It isn't just today. - That's right.

- I have a favour to ask. - Okay.

There's something I'm obsessed with these days.

What is it?

A queen's mindset.

- Do you know what it is? - A queen's mindset.

(A queen's mindset?)

Do you have an idea of what it is?

(What's that?)

- Do you mean the group, Queen? - What?

- Do you mean the group, Queen? - Rookie?

- The group, Queen? - He's talking about the rock band.

I see. No.

- Queen. - Queen.

- A queen's mindset. - A queen's mindset.

- I see. A queen's mindset. - Yes.

(He understands.)

It really helps when you're nervous.

Do you get treated like a queen?

No. It's like this.

Even if something doesn't go well, you say, "Whatever. It's okay."

"I'm a queen."

It's like that.

(What's a queen's mindset? A Gen Z catchphrase about...)

(the mindset of enjoying yourself...)

(without worrying about what other people will think)

(The magical phrase...)

(that makes you do something you don't want to do)

(A queen's...)

(mindset)

It's like that.

- I understood perfectly. - Right?

You have that mindset.

- I always do. - A king's mindset.

- You have a king's mindset. - Yes.

- I like that. - Really?

- It isn't about the words. - Okay.

There's a pose.

- A pose? - Yes.

What's the pose?

You need to do the pose,

- not us. - You need to do it to be funny.

Then we can laugh and get energized.

(My Star has requested the queen's pose.)

- Don't you agree? - Well,

you'll feel it even if I don't do the pose.

I always have that mindset.

- No, you must do it. - What's the pose?

It's like this.

Do this.

- No. - So...

(His stiff fingers lack the edge.)

- No. - So...

It's like, "Come alive."

There you go. "Come alive." Do this.

Do this. Grab it.

(Annoyed)

Like this.

Like this?

- Like this. - Like this?

Like this.

Grab it like this.

Am I pulling it in?

My hand won't move the way I want.

- My hand won't move the way I want. - Otherwise, you can do this.

No. You lack the passion.

- I can't do it. I want to do it. - Like this.

- Like this? - That's right.

For example, you can say, "Yu Jin, you need to go out there."

(Is this the I Am Ground Game?)

(He gets a reality check.)

It's fun.

We can laugh together.

I still don't know what that hand gesture is.

So I did it without thinking.

I tried different things.

I did it because she liked it.

(Seo Jin is trying his best.)

(Becoming a queen)

Also,

I don't drink a lot of water.

- Right. You didn't ask for water. - If I don't think about it,

I don't drink a lot of water. So please give me water.

Of course.

- Please do that. - Okay.

(He has confidence when it comes to giving her water.)

Why am I so hungry?

Are you hungry?

Oh, no.

I'm okay, but My Star is...

- hungry. - I don't have much time to eat.

I have a routine for "SBS Gayo Daejeon."

I eat a brunch.

I eat a hearty brunch.

Do you eat a sandwich?

If it's the morning...

If it's before 10am, I want to eat a sandwich.

If it's after that time, I want to eat Korean food.

Do you want to eat a sandwich then?

You don't have it.

We'll go and buy it while you get your hair and makeup done.

- That sounds great. - What?

That sounds great.

I'm usually all about Korean food.

Yu Jin, which Korean food...

do you like?

Braised kimchi with ribs.

It's the dish my mom makes the best.

- Your mom? - Yes.

So...

It's like the best Korean food for me.

Braised kimchi with ribs.

It's like what braised mackerel is for me.

- That's right. - I like...

braised mackerel with kimchi the most.

I like it when it's tender.

And this is a combination my dad likes.

He loves eating gangdoenjang and seasoned radish.

I love to mix rice with seasoned radish...

and eat it with gangdoenjang.

(He and My Star seem to have the same taste in food.)

Talking about food makes me hungry.

We're nearly there.

(They're near the venue.)

Gosh, it's me!

- Where? - Here.

- Here. - Is that you?

(My Star's banner is at the entrance of the venue.)

- It's An Yu Jin. - There are many banners.

They must've done it for me since I'm an emcee.

Oh, yes.

- Who's the one on the right? - A boy.

- The one on the right? - It's a girl.

Isn't it me? It's me!

- Are both of them you? - It's me.

It's me with my hair tied.

But...

- Why are there only your photos? - A boy?

Hey, how could you call her a boy?

It's her with her hair tied.

You don't know me very well.

(Disappointed)

(Wary)

- Back in the day, - Okay.

- I was at a music award ceremony. - A music award ceremony.

- It was the ending performance. - Okay.

I saw a girl dancing in the middle...

who was very tall.

- Did I look taller than the others? - You were very tall.

- You stood out. - Okay.

I was like, "Who is that tall girl?"

They said, "She's An Yu Jin." I had watched "Earth Arcade" a lot.

You look totally different on a music show.

That's right.

You could dance very well.

(Happy)

You looked different.

I make a lot of effort to look different.

- That must be why. - Yes.

Hello. This Emcee An Yu Jin's van.

(7:52am, Arriving at the concert hall in Incheon)

(The area surrounding the venue is decorated in Christmas mood.)

(And the much-anticipated "SBS Gayo Daejeon" will begin...)

(at a huge concert hall that's twice the size of a soccer field.)

Hello, I'm an emcee of "The 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon,".

Yu Jin of IVE.

(My Star will stand here soon!)

- Okay. - Thank you.

- Thank you for your hard work. - Thank you for your hard work.

Let's go. Go on in. It's cold.

The singers will be startled once they see the cameras.

(Following Yu Jin)

They must be rehearsing.

(They're running a soundcheck on the stage.)

(My Star heads straight to the green room...)

(behind the busy stage.)

Hello.

(She has gained experience by emceeing the event for 4 years.)

This is no joke. My goodness.

(The green room corridor is full of people.)

The corridor is blocked from all these people.

There are so many people.

Aren't there a lot of people?

Many teams will perform today.

This place has more suitcases than an airplane headed to the US.

You're right.

(Concert equipment continues to enter.)

(They get nervous for no reason.)

Hello. No one is here.

(In a nervous state, they enter My Star's green room.)

Hello.

(The queen and IVE's green room is away from the hustle and bustle.)

It's my first time here.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

They're my staff members.

(The makeup room looks luxurious.)

My goodness.

Is that a restroom?

Does this green room come with a restroom?

Yes. That's where we usually change.

(The restroom is spacious for changing clothes.)

This restroom is huge.

(The secretaries are shocked by the size.)

There are lockers too.

It's like a golf course.

- What? - It's like a golf course.

I guess these lockers work.

- What? - I guess they work.

They work.

What? I locked it.

(He locks an empty locker.)

That wasn't the password.

I entered the correct password.

Did you punch in 888 earlier?

- Yes. - It isn't opening.

I forgot.

What are you going to do?

(Was it 999?)

Let's begin the makeup.

(8am, hair and makeup at the concert hall in Incheon)

Kwang Kyu, shall we go?

- For a sandwich? - Yes.

Ask if she wants coffee.

(He puts down the work bag for a second.)

- We're going to get coffee. - Okay.

Do the staff members like coffee as well?

My Star, Yu Jin, wants iced Americano.

- If you give us your order... - Who doesn't drink coffee?

Be honest.

- Okay. - Two people.

- Okay. - Iced chocolate? Iced tea?

Iced chocolate and iced tea.

- What chocolate? - Iced chocolate.

- Is there an iced chocolate? - Yes.

Something like a chocolate latte.

- Is there an iced chocolate latte? - Yes.

- I've never heard of it. - It exists.

Iced chocolate latte.

Iced chocolate latte. One?

One iced chocolate latte?

- Please relax. - I'll relax.

Get us a mix of coffee, iced chocolate, and iced tea.

But there should be more coffee. You know what I mean, right?

Whose order is this?

The staff members.

- So... - One, two, three, four, five,

- Is everyone getting this drink? - six...

Is everyone getting an iced chocolate latte?

No!

This is harder than CSAT. Hold on.

- Coffee is the basic order. - Okay.

Two iced tea and one iced chocolate latte.

- Iced tea? - Two iced tea.

- Two peach iced tea. - Okay.

So aren't you getting any coffee?

(So aren't you getting any coffee?)

(Excuse me?)

Hey, please translate.

Have you heard of an iced chocolate latte?

I'm sure it exists.

- Yes. - So...

we want four coffee,

one iced chocolate, and one iced tea just in case.

Okay.

Those are only five drinks.

Just come on out. For goodness' sake.

Why don't you understand what people are saying?

Hey, you need to pay attention to details.

It'll be bad to ask again.

Forget it. Hurry up.

Where can we buy them?

Must you ask? We need to go out.

(They finally set off.)

- It's just a rehearsal, right? - I think so.

I think...

I need you to explain the deal with this iced chocolate latte.

Iced chocolate latte.

(He's something else.)

- Okay. - Does it contain iced tea?

- No. - Then what?

(She gets a reality check.)

- Is it like coffee? - Seo Jin.

Forget about him. Does it contain coffee?

Iced chocolate latte...

and iced tea are different drinks.

- Let's go. Do you still not get it? - Did you get it?

- I got it. Let's go. - Did you?

(He gets apprehended.)

Really? Okay.

I was so shocked...

when he asked me what iced tea was.

He kept asking me if chocolate latte really existed.

It made me go, "What? It'll be hard if he has a problem with this."

The next one was...

- choosing the menu. - Okay.

I thought, "If he has a problem with the coffee order,"

"the next one will be impossible."

I was so shocked.

(They move to the hotel next to the concert hall.)

They don't have sandwiches.

(They find the display stand.)

There's nothing.

- Seriously, there's nothing. - What?

(At 8:10am, the display stand is empty since it hasn't opened.)

Now, she's having a table read.

At 10:30am, the rehearsal will begin.

Wouldn't it be better to go outside?

Kwang Kyu, let's look for it.

(Hair and makeup at 8am, Table read at 9am)

(Run through at 10:30am, Red carpet event 1pm)

- Was it a table read? - A table read.

- At 10am is the run through. - It's at 10:30am.

The red carpet event begins right afterward, right?

Right after the run through.

- I think it's right afterward. - Yes.

You'll be busy.

(If she doesn't eat now, she'll be hungry until 3pm.)

But...

it isn't open.

Gosh, it isn't open.

(There's no time, but none of the places are open.)

None of the places is open.

(40 minutes before the table read)

What should we do?

(They need to find a place that's open.)

None of the places is open.

I'm hungry.

(Queen Yu Jin suppresses her hunger...)

(as she slaps her thighs.)

(30 minutes before the table read)

No way. This place is open.

(They spot a place that's open.)

- May we order? - Yes.

- We'll order eight sets. - Okay.

We want six iced Americano,

one chocolate latte, and one iced tea.

I'm sorry,

but would you put one iced Americano here?

- Okay. - Yes.

(Thankfully, they completed the order.)

Once she goes in, we'll be done.

- Once she goes in... - How will we be done?

- We'll need to go back and forth. - Really?

I can't believe him.

(It won't be an easy day.)

She needs to change many times.

What was the hand gesture Yu Jin wanted you to do?

I don't know.

Was it something like this? I don't know.

I didn't really get it. A queen's mind?

What does it have to do with the hand gesture?

(Was this the hand gesture?)

What's that? Did you swear at me?

- She told me to do this at first. - Really?

She taught me this at first.

Isn't this hand gesture like picking a fight in the US?

It's this.

You're unbelievable. Hey.

(Seo Jin shot at his face.)

You're only like this to me.

You're always gentle with everyone else.

(Seo Jin likes Kwang Kyu.)

- I... - This gesture...

She said to do it like this.

It's so cold.

(20 minutes before the table read,)

(they're returning with sandwiches and coffee.)

Excuse me.

(They're in a hurry as they have to feed My Star.)

Oh, My Star.

- Thank you. - No problem.

(Oh, My Star. Here's your coffee.)

(Happy)

(Fortunately, she can drink coffee while getting makeup done.)

- The coffee for the staff... There? - That way. Over there.

(They've served food to My Star and the staff members.)

(Prowling)

Really? Will I receive it?

Are you almost done?

- Me? - Are you almost done?

- Me? - Are you?

You want to eat it now, right?

No, I want you and the staff members to eat.

I think I can eat after a little while.

(Okay. Got it.)

(Being on standby while gazing at her...)

ENFJ. Right, she's ENFJ.

She's the judging type.

Are you almost done?

She has a table read in 15 minutes.

Are you almost done?

(Seo Jin rushes them calmly and quietly.)

- Exactly. - She needs to eat first.

- Right. I'll be right there. - Okay. We'll hurry up.

(He's worried she might skip her meal.)

- He's really like a father. - Right.

(Checking the time)

You should eat now.

- Eat first and then finish it. - Pardon?

Eat first and then finish the makeup.

- Eat before the table read. - Father.

- Okay? - Father, give me a minute, please.

- Let me just get my fringe done. - Okay.

Usually, our managers...

wait right next to us.

But he was standing from afar...

while watching me.

He looked like a parent...

watching his kid at an open day.

I'll be back.

(Her hair and makeup are done! Now, she'll go and eat!)

- I'll see you in a bit. - Okay.

Come and eat now.

- Can we eat now? - Yes.

- I was talking to Yu Jin, not you. - Oh, I see.

- Why would you think you can eat? - I see.

- Have a seat. - All right.

- Staff members, please come. - Thank you.

- Here's chocolate latte. - It will begin shortly.

(She lets her staff eat first even though she's in a hurry.)

- Thank you. - Did you find yours?

- Thank you. - Oh, my.

Where did you get these? At the hotel?

Yes, we went to the hotel.

But it wasn't open.

(Setting the food quickly)

- So we went to this food street. - Oh, I see.

She has to leave in three minutes.

- Come on. You're lying. - Three minutes?

Did you say three minutes?

Why do I have only three minutes?

Well... Then...

- She'll leave in 5 minutes. - She'll leave in 5 minutes.

- She'll leave in 5 minutes. - She'll leave in 5 minutes.

(They are reliable.)

(I'll enjoy the food!)

Eat it until he's back.

- Right. - Hold out until he's back.

(Let's eat as much as I can.)

Won't you eat?

Don't worry about us and eat.

We have some food here too.

(Grumpy Secretary eats hastily too as they're in a hurry.)

(He gobbles down the sandwich.)

- By the way, Father... - Yes?

You know I'm the leader, right?

You're the leader?

She's the leader and the main vocalist.

Yes. That's right.

But...

it was written that Won Young was the leader too.

Really?

There are not two leaders in our group.

There's only one leader.

- I must be mistaken. - Right.

(I must be mistaken.)

Why did you look for the information about Jang Won Young?

- Sorry? - Exactly.

- You're Yu Jin's manager. - You should've looked me up.

(He senses that he's in trouble.)

Yesterday,

I did a search to find out how many members the group had.

Actually, I thought it was a five-member group.

But it turned out to be a six-member group.

(Blabbering)

You're banned from IVE's green room.

(You're banned from IVE's green room.)

Exactly. Why did he search Jang Won Young?

I mean...

Seo Jin doesn't even know the names of the members.

You don't, do you?

All I need to know is Yu Jin.

He's right about that.

(Satisfied)

Gosh, that brat.

He weaselled his way out.

Yu Jin, you should go now.

(Seo Jin makes the queen gesture to let her know what to do next.)

- Should I go now? - You should go now.

(My Star is satisfied with Seo Jin.)

Let me have just one more bite.

- Am I doing it right? - What?

"You should go now."

(Is it a workout move?)

Please show him how it's done. That's not how he should do it.

(She should go now.)

Does this mean she should go?

(He's mastered the gesture for "You should go now.")

You should fold your fingers like this.

- Smoothly, like this. - What does this mean?

(Folding the fingers)

It means, "Come here."

(Folding the fingers means, "Come here.")

- To say something is delicious... - Yes?

- Gaze at the food and point at it. - Like...

Like you're fishing?

(Point at it gracefully.)

Move your finger like this.

- Like this? - Like this.

Like this.

And this is what you do to describe "delicious."

This is called a finger clap.

It's called a finger clap.

(A finger clap means something is "delicious.")

What was it again?

Women with long nails make a tapping noise...

by tapping their fingernails against other ones.

It's to praise the food. "My, it's delicious."

- "It's so good." - Oh, I see. "It's delicious."

- "My, it's so good." - Like this. "It's good."

- "My, it's good." - And...

He's back already.

Let's go.

(The intensive lesson about a queen's mindset ended.)

I'll get going now.

(9am, concert hall in Incheon, table read)

- Hello. - Oh, my. Hello.

(She gets into the MC mode with no problem.)

(Young K, the host of "SBS Gayo Daejeon")

(JAEMIN, the host of "SBS Gayo Daejeon")

(Queen Yu Jin is learning her lines while reading them clearly.)

(Her parents leave quietly so that she can focus.)

Manager Lee, what are you doing here?

- Hey, we... - I see some people I know here.

- Today, we're from... - I see some people I know here.

We're from STARSHIP Entertainment, not from SM Entertainment.

(U-Know Yunho, former My Star)

We're from STARSHIP Entertainment today.

I guess you couldn't hold out.

(U-Know Yunho came to perform at "SBS Gayo Daejeon.")

- I moved to STARSHIP Entertainment. - To STARSHIP Entertainment?

Yes, I moved to that agency.

- Come here. - It was unexpected...

(Come here.)

Kwang Kyu.

Oh, my. Are you serious?

The former My Star is here.

Our former My Star.

You couldn't keep working at SM Entertainment.

We moved to STARSHIP Entertainment.

(He's very happy to see him again.)

Can you put on a mic for a bit?

- I'm so glad to see you again. - Exactly.

- Our former My Star. - Oh, my.

- There are so many stars here. - Our former My Star.

So, how did you...

We couldn't work at SM Entertainment anymore.

- We moved to THEBLACKLABEL. - Right.

- But it was too hard. We moved... - To STARSHIP Entertainment.

You guys are like migratory birds.

We used too much of our passion while working with you.

(We used too much of our passion while working with you.)

- We... - We used too much of our energy.

- We're going to change our chant... - Yes?

into something that was inspired by you.

What is it?

"Let's show people why we're Grumpy Secretaries."

(Let's show people why we're Grumpy Secretaries.)

Because of you...

"And why I am Kim Kwang Kyu."

- That one. Remember? - Yes.

- Let's show them why we're TVXQ... - TVXQ.

(U-Know Yunho's passionate comment to cheer everyone up)

(Grumpy Secretary was deeply inspired.)

- Go, U-Know Yunho! Let's do this! - Let's do this!

Let's show them why we're Grumpy Secretaries.

(They shouted the chant at every team get-together.)

(They even shouted it at the entertainment awards ceremony.)

(Is it their official chant now?)

- Let's show them. - You represent another agency.

But assist the star you're working with well.

And show people why you're Grumpy Secretaries.

Why you're older and younger uncles.

Be sure to let people know that.

One, two, three.

- Go, My Grumpy Secretary! - Let's do this!

I should go now.

He's such a passionate guy.

- Bye. - Passion.

- Hello. - Oh, the other members are here.

- Hi. - Hello.

She... What was her name?

I'm LEESEO of IVE.

- LEESEO? - Yes.

- I'm LIZ of IVE. - LIZ?

- LIZ? - LIZ?

- It's nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

I'm Yu Jin's uncle.

(I'm Yu Jin's uncle.)

Feel free to let me know if you need anything.

You two are Tom and Jerry.

- Oh, you watched that episode? - We were at THEBLACKLABEL then.

We're uncles at STARSHIP Entertainment.

- Oh, you're uncles? - Yes.

- Thank you in advance. - We'll do our best.

- Hi, Gaeul. - Hi.

- You can leave and get ready now. - Okay.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you for your help. - Shall I give you back this?

- Please give them back to us. - I'll take this one.

Let's go.

Yu Jin, you should go now.

- Yu Jin, you should go now. - What...

- What took you so long? - Sorry?

- I waited for you guys. - You did?

I was alone. I was lonely.

Although I ate a small bite hastily, I'm full now.

- Are you? - Yes.

- I'm quite full. - You have no time to eat now?

- You won't eat, right? - I don't have time to eat,

- and my dresses are too tight. - You won't eat, right?

Why?

- They usually don't eat in a dress. - That's right.

- You should change your clothes. - I'm going to.

(It's time to change into her dress for the rehearsal.)

(Waiting for My Star who will come back in her dress)

All right. Here comes the princess.

Here comes the princess.

Here comes the princess.

(The real prince with a queen's mind appears.)

Why... What's with the reaction?

(He smiles like a proud dad.)

Thank you.

Am I doing this right?

Am I doing this right?

Isn't this right?

Oh, like that?

How do I look?

You look great in anything.

I think you can eat some food in this dress.

(She'll go and memorize her lines again.)

- I have to memorize them. - Memorize what?

Can you two read it from both sides?

- Read this? - Won't there be a teleprompter?

There won't be a teleprompter.

We'll use cue cards instead.

But it's so long.

I know. It'll be hard, right?

- How will you memorize it all? - I know, right?

"Hello. I'm Yu Jin of IVE, the host of the 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon."

- I'll be Young K. - Can you respond as well?

Young K is the one who sings well.

Cheer like this.

"This is my first time hosting this ceremony."

"D-A-Y Six..."

It's DAY6.

I'm sorry.

"D-A-Y Six..."

(We apologise for many reasons.)

"Hello. I'm JAEMIN of NCT. It's nice to meet you all."

"The theme of 'The 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon' is..."

"Golden..." Is it "lup?"

- It's "loop." - Oh, "golden loop."

"The theme of the ceremony is Golden Loop."

"They will heat up the stage with their explosive energy."

"I..." Is it "ID?"

"With a wide spectrum, this mega root..."

It's "mega rookie."

- "This mega rookie band..." - "Mega root?"

"APMP..."

- It's "I..." I mean, "AxMxP." - "AxMxP."

"The princesses and the princes..."

"The monstrous rookie with limitless potential, AHOF."

(Cheerful)

"I'll try to be a good leader with a sense of responsibility."

"That's great."

"I, the lady of the house of 'The SBS Gayo Daejeon...'"

Speak more cheerfully.

- "That's great." Good. - "That's great."

- "That's great." Good. - "That's great."

"I, the lady of the house of 'The SBS Gayo Daejeon...'"

"That's right. It's like a Christmas gift..."

"That's right."

"That's right."

- Don't tell her how to speak. - Exactly.

- It's just that... - I have my own style.

In the beginning, I think she should...

- liven up the mood. - But...

- Since it's their first time, - That's true.

- Yu Jin should lead them. - Oh, that's right.

- She should liven up the mood. - "That's right."

- That's why I told her that. - Oh, I see.

Oh, right. I should do this too.

- This... - What?

How does a native English speaker pronounce "Toronto?"

Is it "Toronto?" How do you pronounce it?

You can ask Seo Jin.

- He's fluent in English. - Native pronunciation.

It's from a meme.

- A meme? - You know what a meme is, right?

- A meme? - Is there such a meme?

There's this meme...

(Young K's audition footage)

(I'm from Toronto, Canada.)

Oh, is he from Canada?

- Yes. - The one from earlier?

- "Toronto." - "Toronto."

- Why are you laughing? - Did he live overseas?

Is this a famous meme?

It's famous enough.

Then don't imitate him.

But the script says I should do it.

The writer told me to do it.

You should imitate him if it's a really popular meme.

- But you don't have to... - I won't do it.

(Her feelings are hurt.)

I won't do it.

- Do it. Imitate him. - I won't do it.

- Why? - She's sulky.

Do it. Imitate him.

(Sulky)

- Do it. Look at me. - You said it wasn't funny.

- Yu Jin, look at me. Do it. - How should I pronounce it?

(Infusing a queen's mindset)

- How should I pronounce it? - Look at me. Do it.

- That's not it. Do it like this. - Hey.

- You should point your finger. - This isn't how you do it.

- Point your finger like this. - All right.

Just do it.

- "Toronto." - Like this.

- "Toronto." - "Toronto."

(My Star feels better now with a queen's mindset.)

- You're doing well. - I don't know how to do it.

You're doing great.

- "Toronto." You're doing great. - You pronounced it well.

- "Toronto." - Yu Jin, the hosts should go now.

We'll begin the run-through rehearsal at 30.

(6 hours before the live broadcast, the run-through rehearsal begins.)

Let's check...

the LED lights for the opening.

(Run-through rehearsal: Continuous practice from start to finish)

Please go up on the stage. Carry your mic, please.

- Yes, he'll go next. - Got it.

(While the other stars are busy getting ready...)

Let's get ready now.

(My Star is ready as well.)

Goodness, I'm cold. Hello.

Are you cold?

- Yes, I'm cold. - I'll bring you a blanket later.

Oh, goodness. Gosh, it's cold.

(He suddenly feels nervous.)

(There's tension in the air as this is the last rehearsal.)

(Grumpy Secretary became determined as well.)

(They arrive at the hall for the run-through rehearsal.)

(The opening performance rehearsal is in progress.)

(Looking around)

Oh, my. It was huge.

I've been on many different stages before.

The set seemed...

several times bigger than the ones I had seen before.

"It must've been hard for them to build this set."

That was the first thing that crossed my mind.

(The grand scale of the stage overwhelms us.)

"How do they hold a ceremony at such a huge venue like this?"

I was fascinated.

(My Star will take over the enormous stage.)

(She moves to under the stage to prepare to make her entrance.)

(Going through the low, dark passage under the stage)

(They arrive at the standby spot.)

Do you have any water? Can I get some water?

- Sorry? - Can I have some water?

- Water? - I'll bring you water.

I'll go get it.

(Thank you)

(My Star has requested water.)

(He has to come back before the rehearsal begins!)

Why did I come here?

Where is our green room?

I should hurry up.

(Worried and anxious)

- Get ready now. - Yes.

Won't you be wearing in-ear earphones...

at the opening?

- It happened that way. Later on... - I see.

You can go ahead without them when you say the first line.

- You should wear them after that. - Okay.

You won't be able to hear your voice at all.

Manager Lee,

can you bring her the in-ear earphones?

- Where are they? Sorry? - The manager has them.

(He calls the older bestie right away.)

(Right at that time, Kwang Kyu arrives at the green room.)

- Here. - Thank you.

(He picks up a bottle of water first.)

Do we have any blankets?

Yu Jin needs a blanket...

Thanks. Hello?

She needs her in-ear earphones.

- In-ear earphones? - Yes, we forgot to bring them.

In-ear earphones? Okay. Got it.

- Bring the in-ear earphones too. - Okay.

(He has to deliver the in-ear earphones too.)

(1 minute before the MCs' opening)

(The MCs make their entrance right after the clip ends.)

The MCs will go up on the stage now.

(The MCs should be on standby.)

(Glancing)

Will you be okay without in-ear earphones?

- I need them, but I have no choice. - He's on his way with them.

(Worried)

(My Star came up on the stage without her in-ear earphones.)

(Kwang Kyu, hurry up.)

(Finally, Kwang Kyu arrives.)

He brought the in-ear earphones.

Yes, I brought them.

Give them to me for now.

All three of them?

(Seo Jin runs toward Yu Jin feeling rushed.)

(Did My Star put on her in-ear earphones?)

Now, shall we go to our spot?

(The opening rehearsal begins.)

(The MCs appear.)

(He goes to the front of the stage to check.)

(She put on her in-ear earphones.)

Hello, I'm one of the MCs of "The 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon."

I'm Yu Jin of IVE.

(Relieved)

Captain Santa,

when did you prepare such a great performance?

For a moment, I felt like I was at a jazz bar in Toronto.

(She pronounced the word perfectly just as she practised.)

(The dimples of satisfaction)

- Into the loop. - Into the loop.

(Thanks to Grumpy Secretary, she finished the rehearsal well.)

- Please go down. - Okay.

(The MCs are on standby during the next performance.)

(Singers including aespa...)

(and ALLDAY PROJECT rehearse their performances.)

(Bring up the energy of the queen.)

(4 hours before the live broadcast)

(While My Star is back on the stage for the rehearsal...)

(The IVE members are getting ready for their performance in Part 2.)

- Hi. - Hello.

- Oh, hi. - It's been a while.

(Jang Won Young of IVE)

- Hello. - I guess you two have met before.

- Of course. - Do you recognise him?

- Yes, we met... - Before?

- at a brand promotional event. - Right.

Oh, really?

Won Young is the PR ambassador of that brand.

Won Young is the PR ambassador of that brand.

Most people just say "ambassador" in English.

Oh, I see.

- Is that so? - I was just joking.

- That was funny. - I heard you'd help us today.

That's right.

(I'll help you a lot as the older uncle.)

Aren't you hungry?

- Coffee... - Aren't you?

- I'd like some coffee. - Don't you need anything else?

What kind of coffee?

- Americano. - Iced Americano?

Yes, please.

Can I ask them a favour like this?

- Of course. - You're supposed to give us tasks.

(Kwang Kyu reacts more enthusiastically than ever.)

Don't you need anything else? Aren't you hungry?

- I... - You shouldn't eat anything?

That's not the case. Since it's Christmas,

I'd like to have strawberry cake.

Or since it's Christmas...

- We'll look for it. - Thank you.

There's a hotel next to this building.

- Oh, I see. That's great. - But since today's Christmas Day,

- It must be crowded... - they might've been sold out.

- But you have to figure it out. - Yes?

You have to figure it out.

- We have to find a strawberry cake. - Yes.

That's the only place in this neighbourhood.

(He makes excuses habitually.)

- I don't know where it could be. - We'll try to find it.

- All right. A strawberry cake? - Yes.

- Got it. - I'll share it with the others.

All right. I understand.

- Thank you. - No problem.

- Then... - I'm not a handful.

You're not? I think you're the hardest member to take care of.

- Let's get going. Let's go. - She thinks she's not a handful.

- All right. - Thank you in advance.

Hi.

Look at their outfits. So these are their today's outfits.

It's for the Christmas vibe.

- You look like different people. - Are you done now?

- Yes. - Anything you want to eat?

- A lot. - I want a strawberry cake.

- Dubai chewy cookies. - Dubai chewy cookies.

- What? - Dubai chewy cookies.

- Chewy cookies? - Could you get Dubai chewy cookies?

- What's that? - Is that the name of a dog?

It's Dubai chewy cookies.

It's really nice.

- Dubai dewy cookies? - Dubai chewy cookies.

- Dubai dewy cookies. - Could you get Dubai chewy cookies?

Do we have to go to Dubai?

We'll try and find them around here.

- It's going to be hard. - Right.

It's going to be hard.

- Do you need anything to drink? - Dubai chewy cookies.

- Okay. - Hot chewy cookies?

No. I got it.

Stop asking.

- All right. - Please get them, thanks.

- Okay. - Okay.

- We'll try and get them. - Okay.

Let's go get them.

("Sold Out" signs everywhere... The Dubai chewy cookie syndrome.)

Wear this.

The wind.

Goodness.

(The Dubai chewy cookie expedition sets off with strong wind.)

The temperature is warmer than before.

The wind is the problem.

The wind.

It would be fine for you since you don't have hair,

but for us, our hair is flying everywhere.

It's colder when you don't have hair.

- I said it's flying. - What?

- It's flying. - It's flying?

- Yes. - I want mine to fly as well.

You wouldn't know.

(They walk...)

(and walk.)

(The Dubai chewy cookie expedition is on a rough journey.)

They sell bread here.

(They finally arrived at a bakery.)

(Carefully looking)

This is the one.

- What? - We have to buy this.

I want a strawberry cake.

- We do? - Strawberry cake.

We could get...

two of these.

What about the Dubai chewy cookies?

They wouldn't sell those here, right?

Do you have Dubai chewy cookies?

- We don't. - Where can we get them?

Do you know a place around here?

As far as I know, they don't sell it in here.

The Dubai chewy cookies.

All right.

Could you check what's inside a Dubai chewy cookie?

The ingredients of a Dubai chewy cookie?

- Hold on. - There are cookies here.

Over there as well.

(There are cookies,)

(but they look nowhere close to Dubai chewy cookies.)

Over there.

I think those are similar.

Dubai.

(Did they find Dubai chewy cookies?)

This one?

It's this one. It's the one with chocolate chips.

Is that so?

Shall we take some of these?

- Let's do that. - It can't be helped.

They don't have them.

What's this?

(Did they succeed in getting Dubai chewy cookies?)

- This isn't the same. - These are the cookies.

(Is this a Dubai chewy cookie?)

It's too hard.

- What? - It's too hard.

(The texture doesn't live up to the name.)

It will be soft when they chew it.

Okay. Then these.

Could we have two of the strawberry cakes up there?

Two strawberry cakes.

Where do we put the cookies?

- Give them to me. - Okay.

Okay.

Here. Strawberry cakes.

- We're here. - Strawberry cakes.

- We're here. - Strawberries.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Strawberry cakes. - I want to take a picture.

- Here. - Amazing!

It's...

And the Dubai cookies.

Really?

Hold on.

They just came from Dubai.

(They brought Dubai chewy cookies?)

They just came from Dubai.

We went all the way to Dubai.

- I'm serious. - That's not a Dubai chewy cookie.

What? They were made in Dubai.

(Dropping)

(She doesn't know what to say.)

Who? This one?

Me.

Okay.

- This was made in Dubai? - Here's your straw.

It was made in Dubai.

- They made this in Incheon. - What?

It's an Incheon cookie.

No. It's from Dubai. It came in today.

Thank you so much.

- Right. Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Thank you. - All right.

(Putting straws)

(Kwang Kyu takes care of Won Young with a fan's love.)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Enjoy.

You're welcome.

(They return to My Star's green room...)

(after taking care of the IVE members.)

This isn't so nice,

but wouldn't it be so pretty with that?

(He gives her some water first.)

Thank you.

(Drinking)

Drink more.

Thank you.

(Drinking)

You're just pretending, aren't you?

One more time.

(It's sweet, but also persistent.)

Thank you.

(He made My Star who doesn't drink get moisturized.)

- Father. - Yes?

Would you like some Dubai chewy cookies?

Where is it?

It's totally famous these days.

- This is it? - Yes.

It's very delicious. Eat that.

I'll have my makeup done.

This is why they didn't believe me.

They didn't even touch what you gave them.

Of course, they wouldn't.

It's totally different.

It's totally different.

I should take care of him.

It's my first time trying this.

The Dubai chewy cookie...

that Yu Jin gave us.

(He wants to treasure the gift from My Star.)

(He tries the Dubai chewy cookie.)

Let's see what this tastes like.

How is it?

- I'm... - He's stabbing it.

- Is this a rice cake? - You have to chew it.

I can't.

Or else, it wouldn't be cut.

You have to chew it.

- You have to chew it. - Or you could cut it with a string.

Chew it.

But...

Just bite it.

I wanted you to try it as well.

You're not going to eat it when I chew it.

First eat it.

(Chewing)

This...

This...

(What do you think, Father? Isn't it tasty?)

It's like the bag of sand we had in elementary school.

(A bag of sand?)

It's like chewing sand.

I've never heard anyone comment on it like that.

(It's a unique taste review on the Dubai chewy cookie.)

If you say that to Won Young,

she'll get upset. She really loves them.

(Is that so?)

It tastes good, but the texture...

- Why? I like the texture. - It's...

You can hear the sound of walking on sand at the beach.

(Laughing)

(Exclaiming)

It's a little like songpyeon.

(He tried a Dubai chewy cookie thanks to Yu Jin.)

Let's start the reading, Yu Jin.

- Okay. - Okay.

(They quickly leave the room.)

(They first head to the green room.)

Hello.

It's been a while.

(KARINA of aespa)

- We were on "Synchro U." - "Synchro U."

We met there.

(They were on a show together.)

- I should take another photo. - Sure.

Please take a picture of us, Manager.

Vertically.

(They take a picture since they met after a long time.)

- Thank you. - You know who this man is, right?

- Yes. He's Lee Seo Jin. - Right.

I also know some idol members like her.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Are you filming My Grumpy Secretary?

Yes. Let's meet again in My Grumpy Secretary.

How could I have you as my manager?

(Production crew: Please come as My Star.)

(A picture with our future My Star while waiting for My Star)

Hello.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hi. Hello.

(Nodding)

(Turning)

(Their heads turn at the same time.)

(Among the people rushing by,)

(the Grumpy Secretary is stuck in the endless wait.)

It's YOUNGSEO.

- YOUNGSEO? - Yes.

- Hello. - It's TARZZAN.

(Former My Star, ALLDAY PROJECT)

- Hi. - Hello.

(He smiles with a dimple after meeting someone he knows.)

Hi.

- Have you been well? - Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

(He's happy to meet his former My Stars here.)

It's a surprise to meet you here.

Hello.

(He expresses his happiness with a shocking camera move.)

All the best today.

- Good luck. - Where are you going?

We have to prepare for the red carpet event.

You came out early in the morning, didn't you?

I did.

You must be tired.

Good luck.

All the best.

(After the short meeting with the former My Stars...)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hello. Hi.

Hi.

It's MEOVV.

(They did a challenge together.)

What brings you here?

- What else? - Right.

We came to perform.

- Have you been well? - Of course.

You look cool.

You look so cool.

You're not going to film a challenge today?

Shall we?

- No. - We can do that.

I was just asking.

Please take care of them well.

- They're all here. - Hello.

Aren't you going to do a challenge?

- You should. - Today?

- Do a challenge together. - Today?

- Are you ready? - What?

I'm ready.

I'll do whatever I can.

Thank you.

You're so pretty.

Look at their outfits.

- You can go. - Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

(They had a lively My Grumpy Secretary reunion.)

What's the worst affection...

in the world?

What's the worst affection in the world?

Passion.

I was just so tired.

- It's a good trait. - Not at all.

We're burning in passion again because of you...

in our 50s.

Let's go, My Grumpy Secretary!

Let's do this!

- It's starting again. - Let's do this!

Go now.

The reason why we're My Grumpy Secretary!

The reason why we're My Grumpy Secretary!

(He leaves with passion until the very end.)

(The lively reunion ends.)

He never gets tired.

Doesn't your energy get drained...

every time you meet someone?

It's so hard to meet people.

- You have to bring up your energy. - Manager.

Manager.

- Do you need anything? - I need to stick my nails.

(I was just going to get some rest.)

What?

Hold on. Nails?

We should stick them inside.

(My Star's request is above his tiredness.)

(The nail-tip expert steps in.)

Let's stick some nails.

Do you like the bright ones or the dark ones?

Bright ones since I'm wearing a white dress.

There are these as well.

This and this.

Yes. Go with these.

- These? - Yes. Go with these.

(They quickly decide on the design.)

All right.

That's right.

(Now, he has to pick the right sizes and stick them.)

There are numbers behind the clear ones, right?

Here.

(Numbers?)

Are there numbers?

(He looks at it again under the light.)

- It's there, right? - Where are the numbers?

Look.

Over here.

There's seven written on this.

Seven?

(Seven?)

Then...

(Aged eyesight issue)

This...

I can't read it.

It's okay. Then...

I'll do this.

(I'll do this.)

You could do this, then. You need to get this out.

You can remove the clear part like a sticker.

- You can do that, right? - What?

Like this. You remove it.

(Fidgeting)

(Laughing)

(Focusing)

That's right. You press it hard.

Like that.

Your hands are very dry.

That's because it's winter.

(That's because it's winter.)

I'll look for it.

Here.

Number seven..

(My Star with young pupils hands it to him.)

(Grumpy Secretary presses it with experience.)

How is it? Is it done?

(He sounds tired.)

Shall we go with this?

Look at this.

Is this okay?

(He focuses with tight lips.)

- It fits. - It looks nice.

(He presses the last nail and completes the job.)

- Is it done? - Thank you.

You're really good.

Complete!

(He finally smiles with a dimple.)

(Sparkling)

(Meanwhile, Kwang Kyu...)

(Pressing of another sort)

It's almost over,

- so we have to part soon. - Right.

(He's indulging his own selfish desires with the members.)

(Taking pictures)

Thank you.

(Taking 4 shots for his satisfaction)

It would be the end for us when you go to the red carpet.

We'll move.

- I won't be seeing you when you go. - Right.

(Kwang Kyu feels extra sad today.)

Younger uncle and daughter.

I'm your bigger uncle.

Bigger uncle.

Bigger uncle and the daughter.

Is your voice hoarse?

- Me? - Yes.

- I'm very worried. - Father...

- Bigger uncle. - You sound like...

you have a cold.

Father. Bigger uncle.

Bigger uncle.

Senior!

Bigger uncle is...

taking selfies again.

(Feeling embarrassed)

- Selfies again. - It's driving me crazy.

He's...

- lost it again. - Right.

You know him, right?

What should I do?

I think we need to move on to the fourth lesson.

I told on you.

What did you say?

- I... - What?

The light stick. It's the light stick.

(He glosses over the situation and takes a picture with My Star.)

(Bigger uncle is extra excited today.)

(The rehearsals are going on.)

(The rehearsals are going on.)

- Let's move. - Okay.

(The IVE members move as well.)

- Is that your outfit? - Yes.

I said "let's go, LEESEO." Didn't you see me?

You said that? When?

You were good.

You had a big flower here.

(The leader takes care of the youngest member.)

(The IVE members gather behind the stage.)

(Hands-on care on Yu Jin)

(Glancing)

Where is Kwang Kyu?

(Did the bigger uncle disappear again?)

Only Won Young isn't out.

(Kwang Kyu is still lost.)

Did you miss something? Did something not work out well?

My in-ear earphones got tangled.

- The cord was tangled. - Yes.

I think I had a misunderstanding.

My Star was Yu Jin.

(My Star was Yu Jin...)

I thought I was the manager of the entire IVE.

That's why I kept...

taking care of the entire team.

(I kept taking care of the entire team.)

I'm Yu Jin's manager,

but she's in a group.

Together.

What should I do for the ending fairy pose?

Ending fairy.

(Ending fairy)

(The dimple fairy is embarrassed by the ending fairy request.)

Don't do anything.

Doing nothing is the best.

Don't do anything.

Doing nothing is the best.

(He doesn't want me to do anything.)

Should I not do it?

Should I not do it?

Pretty girls just stay still.

(Pretty girls just stay still.)

I won't do anything.

(Nodding)

(Like this?)

Just blink once.

Blink?

(Blinking)

IVE will go in!

(The IVE members are on stage.)

(They wait while watching LE SSERAFIM's performance.)

(She can't hold in her charm even as she waits.)

(Colourful)

(His eyes widen.)

It's no joke.

This is why they go crazy.

(They're amazed by the grand scale.)

How many dancers do they have?

(He's amazed.)

(LE SSERAFIM's rehearsal ends.)

(My Star's rehearsal begins.)

(Her playful expression disappears.)

(She does her job professionally as the leader of IVE.)

(The Grumpy Secretaries focus on their job too.)

(Humming)

(The rehearsal goes on without any problem.)

(The next song begins.)

(My Star smoothly leads the stage with confidence.)

It was my first time watching their show.

Their songs were nice.

It's a year-end event.

They would have practised so many hours...

and had countless hardships...

to come here and perform this.

Even filming one scene is really tough.

For her to do that until the third part,

it wouldn't be easy. Her energy would drain.

(The rehearsal almost ends.)

(What will My Star's ending pose be?)

(Blinking)

Just blink once.

(Ending fairy)

(He smiles with a dimple after seeing her ending pose.)

Her dimples look similar to yours.

- Right? - Yes.

(Dimples popping out)

(They have the same dimples.)

(As soon as the rehearsal ends,)

(she hurriedly changes into a dress.)

The camera panned to Yu Jin at the end.

What?

The camera panned to Yu Jin at the end.

Yes.

She got a solo shot.

(He feels proud that My Star got a solo shot at the end.)

(She changed into a dress.)

I feel sleepy.

I'm glad to see you guys.

(Exhausted)

I...

(No more water, please.)

(Seeing how tired she looks, he insists that she drink some water.)

You didn't even drink.

I totally did. I shouldn't have said that.

Okay.

(Drink it.)

(Sipping)

- You didn't drink it, did you? - Yes, I did.

I drank it.

(Father, this is enough.)

(It's suspicious.)

(Drink it.)

(Drinking with her eyes)

(Drink one more time!)

(Drinking too much water)

Finally.

(The bottom of the bottle is finally visible.)

Stop giving her water. Why do you keep making her drink water?

- He won't go until I finish it. - You should drink a lot of water...

when you talk a lot.

- Or her mouth will get dry. - He's right. I needed it.

Anyway, in conclusion,

I finished a bottle of water.

I thought my mom would've made me...

drink water like this...

when I was little.

We all gathered for a read-through once,

and he suddenly gave me water like this.

The other seniors were laughing.

It was embarrassing.

But it helped in the end.

(Younger uncle is the best.)

(Meanwhile,)

(the audience filled the venue.)

(The fans are waiting for the show to begin with excitement.)

(The stage My Star will step onto is ready.)

Please get ready.

Today...

- I'll go crush it. - Good luck.

- Good luck. - I'll go crush it.

Good luck.

(Giving the queen's energy to My Star)

You got this.

- I'll get going. - Yes. Good luck.

(Casting a spell)

We'll show them why you're IVE, and why you're An Yu Jin.

That's on her.

Yes. Yu Jin will do it.

Show them why I'm IVE.

- And among them... - Show them why you're IVE.

Show them why you're An Yu Jin among them.

- The original creator is here. - The original creator is here.

- The original creator is here. - Among them...

He came at the perfect moment.

- Among them... - Okay.

- Show her. - I'll say it.

- Come here. - You're at "SBS Gayo Daejeon."

Let's prove them...

why you're IVE,

- and why you're An Yu Jin... - Right.

among them.

- Yes. - Count to three.

In 1, 2, 3, IVE,

- go! - Go!

Congratulations, Yu Jin!

(Congratulations on hosting the show!)

(She received overwhelming support.)

- My Old Star. - Yes!

(It energized her more than a queen's mindset ever could.)

- Go. You can do it. - You got this.

(5 minutes before the broadcast)

(The venue is packed.)

Please move quickly.

(My Star is going to the stage without Grumpy Secretaries.)

(With tension in the air, everything is ready.)

(The cue signalling the start of the broadcast)

(3 seconds before the broadcast)

(2 seconds before the broadcast)

(1 second before the broadcast)

(My Queen appears...)

(among a crowd of tens of thousands.)

Hello, I'm Yu Jin of IVE,

the host of "2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon."

("SBS Gayo Daejeon" is now live.)

He doesn't need flashy modifiers.

YEONJUN, an incredible solo artist whose presence alone...

defines a genre, opened the Golden Loop...

with his performance.

We couldn't wait to show it.

We're revealing it right now.

We weren't sure what you'd like, so...

(Why is he suddenly blowing up a balloon?)

(Immersed)

(Whose living room is this?)

(And what is he doing?)

Filming isn't allowed...

during the live broadcast...

because of potential accidents.

(Filming isn't permitted due to the risk of accidents.)

- I think you should leave first. - Okay.

- We'll get going now. - We should cook now.

- Right. - Yes.

I'm so hungry.

It doesn't seem like I'll get to eat anytime soon.

For My Star, Yu Jin,

we'll be preparing something.

I'm looking forward to it.

(Cutting)

(Uncle Kwang Kyu is cutting radish.)

My Star said she wanted to have homemade food.

And my place happened to be very close.

So...

I heard you usually have dinner with the celebrity...

- after the shoot. - Yes.

(Smacking her lips)

I'm craving Korean food.

- Korean food. - We'll prepare Korean food.

- You will? - Yes.

Kwang Kyu can cook.

Really?

- But... - Yu Jin,

which Korean food do you like?

Braised kimchi with ribs.

It's the dish my mom makes the best.

- Your mom? - Yes.

So...

It's like the best Korean food for me.

Braised kimchi with ribs.

- This is my father's favourite. - Your father's favourite?

He loves eating gangdoenjang and seasoned radish.

- Gangdoenjang... - Gangdoenjang...

- with radish. - mixed with rice and radish.

(Gangdoenjang and seasoned radish, her father's favourite)

Like home-cooked food.

(I miss homemade food.)

(I, Royal Chef Eom the Mom,)

(will cook a home-cooked meal for my Queen.)

(Slicing the radish first)

(He's good with a knife, just what you'd expect from Royal Chef.)

Are you enjoying...

- "The 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon?" - It's Yu Jin.

It's too early to feel disappointed.

Part Two will be incredible.

Although Part Two will start soon,

for those who can't stand even a moment's wait,

shouldn't we show them something,

rookie hosts?

Yes. Actually, a few days ago,

- I learned this ultimate skill... - She's doing it effortlessly.

from JAEMIN.

- Is this the moment? - Is this the moment?

(By the way, what is Uncle Seo Jin doing?)

Let's do it.

(His strong diaphragm has been going nonstop for 20 minutes.)

(He keeps blowing up balloons without pause.)

(Why is he working so hard?)

I took out the Christmas tree last year.

But this year, I didn't feel like it,

and I was just too busy.

(She was too busy to enjoy Christmas this year.)

That's why...

today doesn't feel like Christmas at all.

I usually start listening to carols a month before Christmas.

(Sad)

(What's Christmas to you?)

It's just like any other day.

Nothing is different.

Christmas doesn't mean anything to me now.

(Even though Christmas means nothing to him,)

(he's giving it his all.)

(Christmas is meaningless to him.)

(He's preparing Christmas decorations just for My Star.)

I start feeling dizzy now.

We have enough time. Slow it down.

We might have to send you to a hospital.

(A plate of radish slices)

It's too much.

(Is the Royal Chef tasting it?)

It tastes good.

(Glancing)

(He shares it with Seo Jin because it's good.)

Try it.

(Eating raw radish?)

(He eats it since he got it.)

- It's nice, isn't it? - Yes.

It'd be even better with ssamjang.

(Approved)

Do you want ssamjang?

It'd be better with ssamjang.

(It means he wants ssamjang.)

(Here's ssamjang.)

Can I just dip it like this?

- Yes. - Straight from the container?

This is much better.

(Satisfied)

(Dipping in ssamjang)

(He continues working while chewing on radish.)

(Christmas decorations for My Star)

(He's putting up the balloons more precisely than expected.)

I don't even remember...

the last time I decorated a Christmas tree.

Not sure. I think the first time I did that was in elementary school.

Why would you do that?

Decorating isn't important. Removing them is a bigger hassle.

You might feel good putting up those decorations,

but removing them is so annoying.

(He said removing them was a hassle.)

(But he focused on it without saying a word.)

(The balloons alone give off a strong Christmas vibe.)

It's not easy to align them perfectly.

But he placed them so neatly that it looks like he used a ruler.

(Perfectly arranged as if he measured them with a ruler)

You can tell he graduated from New York University.

I just tried changing the mood.

(With his touch, the Christmas spirit comes alive.)

I think that's his charm.

He acts like he won't do it,

but when he does it, he actually does a good job.

(That's his trait.)

(Placing)

You worked hard.

Why complain when you're going to do it anyway?

(My Star is performing as IVE at 7:30pm.)

(Part 2 is coming to an end.)

(Uncle Kwang Kyu, I'm going soon.)

I haven't cooked for a while, so I don't know what to do first.

(Cutting the vegetables into cubes)

Onions, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, tofu.

You can put everything in it.

Just put everything in it with some doenjang and gochujang.

Simmer it slowly over low heat.

It looks quite legitimate.

(It already looks good.)

Gangdoenjang...

(My Star's favourite homemade food, savoury gangdoenjang)

I think I know how to make gangdoenjang.

So for the back ribs...

The back ribs.

(He opens the fridge with a serious look.)

(The secret ingredient Royal Chef Eom the Mom prepared...)

(is his mother's homemade aged kimchi.)

Here's a tip.

Remove the seasoning...

from the kimchi.

Otherwise, it'll have a bitter taste.

Get rid of the seasoning...

before you boil it.

It tastes much cleaner and tastier that way.

This is it.

My last name is Eom.

Yes.

The ribs.

(Blanched back ribs)

Let me put them over it.

(He puts the blanched back ribs...)

(on the onions.)

(Here's kimchi with no bitter taste.)

(Royal Chef Eom the Mom's special sauce)

(Pour enough sauce to cover the ribs,)

(and let them simmer slowly.)

(Braised kimchi with ribs, My Star's favourite, is coming soon.)

Cooking gives me a strange feeling.

It feels like making food...

for a son who's come home on his first leave from the military.

I'm sure everyone is like this,

but when I cook for myself, I get it done in 20 minutes.

I can't imagine cooking for 1 or 2 hours...

just to make a single meal for myself.

But because it was for My Star,

I didn't mind cooking for several hours.

My last name is Eom.

(Before long,)

(only the last performance of "SBS Gayo Daejeon" is left.)

She let her hair down and got changed.

You're right.

Thank you so much for staying with us for so long.

(My Star finished Part 3 without a single mistake.)

- Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas!

(I'm going home now.)

- Bye. - Bye.

The show is over. Yu Jin will be coming soon.

(Checking the braised kimchi with ribs one last time)

She's here.

No.

- Seo Jin, open the door for her. - Okay.

(Springing)

(My Star came after the live broadcast.)

I'm starving.

Today,

all I've eaten is snacks. I'm so hungry.

Before saying my last line,

I thought of braised kimchi with ribs,

and my mouth was watering.

(She was already thinking about K-food instead of K-pop.)

(Mouthwatering)

I think I'll enjoy it no matter how it tastes.

(She's exhausted after going 10 hours without eating.)

(Glancing)

I feel nervous.

I'm not sure if it tastes good.

The door is open.

(Uncle Seo Jin welcomes her warmly.)

- Yu Jin. - Hi.

- Come on in quickly. - "Yu Jin."

- Hi. - Come on in. Why is the light off?

- It smells good. - What?

- My Star. - I brought this.

Did you not eat it?

- I wanted to eat it with you. - You did?

- It smells so good. - Come on in.

- Come in. - I had no time to eat.

- Come on in. - I'm starving.

- Are you hungry? - Yes.

The food is ready.

- You came at the perfect moment. - It smells amazing.

It does? What a relief.

- I'm glad it smells good, at least. - It's Christmas.

What a relief.

(She's enjoying the smell of home-cooked food on Christmas.)

Yu Jin.

As soon as I entered the house,

it smelled like homemade food,

just like when I tell my mom...

what I'm craving.

The moment I walked in,

a mouthwatering smell hit me.

(She's touched already.)

- It smells good. - Take a seat.

- Can I sit here? - Sure.

The rice is perfectly cooked.

The rice is perfectly cooked. Oh, my.

Shall we set the table?

(He quickly grabs a spoon and chopsticks for Yu Jin.)

Thank you.

Do you need help?

No. Please sit.

- You even cooked for me. - Stay seated.

- Stay seated. It's fine. - Stay seated. Come on.

The Christmas decoration.

Did you put up the balloons yourself?

It looked awful without the decoration.

(Seo Jin's Christmas decoration for My Star)

Seo Jin did a great job today.

It looks delicious.

I did it today.

- Why? - Sorry?

- I put them up for you. - Really?

Yes.

- I put them up for you. - Really?

Yes.

- The Christmas tree and all. - Thank you.

Right. It's so cute.

I thought Kwang Kyu had decorated his place cutely.

He decorated the tree too.

(The drinks to go with the meal are ready as well.)

Is that lemon soju?

- What? - Is that lemon soju?

Yu Jin, I heard this is your favourite alcohol.

Yes. It's my favourite.

- Yu Jin, you worked hard today. - Thank you.

- Great job, My Star. - Thank you.

- It looks good. - You did a great job today.

(My Star's 23rd Christmas...)

(with Grumpy Secretaries)

It seems it has a whole grapefruit in it.

- This is unexpected. - It's a new product.

I see.

- They only had lemon flavour before. - The grapefruit tastes...

(A drink after work puts them in a good mood.)

It suits Yu Jin.

How can you be this pretty?

How can you be this pretty?

(Steaming)

All right. This is braised kimchi with ribs.

- Is it okay to put it on the table? - It's okay.

Really?

It looks amazing.

A whole head of kimchi.

It looks so good.

- You put a whole head of kimchi. - Is this your mother's kimchi?

Yes.

Do you have uncut kimchi at home?

I know.

(Carefully braised kimchi with ribs)

Seasoned radish.

(Royal Chef Eom the Mom's refreshing seasoned radish)

Gangdoenjang, which is something I've never made before.

- Did you make gangdoenjang too? - Of course.

- It's like mapo tofu. - It looks amazing.

The food looks fantastic.

- It does? - Yes.

Food tastes amazing...

- after working hard. - Exactly.

- But don't expect too much. - Okay.

- I'm not excited at all. - Lower your expectations a bit.

- It looks bad. - Right.

- I'm not excited at all. - Lower your expectations a bit.

- It looks bad. - Right.

There you go. That's the attitude.

- There you go. That's the attitude. - It looks bad.

Which one should I eat first? This or this?

- You should try this 1st. - This one 1st.

- This has a strong flavour. Yes. - This is the main dish.

- Okay. - Yes.

(After happily debating what to eat, she tries the braised ribs first.)

- I'm sorry, - I'm nervous.

but please get the one deeper in the broth.

- Deeper in the broth. - No.

- It's fine. - This one.

- Deeper in the broth. That's it. - The cute one.

Let me get a piece of kimchi too.

(A warm dinner after going 10 hours without food)

I feel nervous.

(Nervous)

Is it too hot? Eat it slowly if it's too hot.

(Mother Kwang Kyu takes care of her, as if she were his daughter.)

- Is it cooked? - Yes.

- Is it okay? - Yes, it's good.

- Is it okay? - Yes, it's good.

- Is this what you wanted? - Yes.

I'm glad to hear that.

It tastes really good.

- The meat is perfectly cooked. - It is?

- It's a little spicy. - I was worried.

Try it. It's really good.

- Fortunately, I can cook. - Yes.

I like spicy food.

I love it.

I absolutely love it.

- I absolutely love it. - You do? Oh, my gosh.

It's amazing.

Please add some sparkling effect.

It tastes so good.

You're amazing at cooking.

How can your first attempt turn out so well?

- I'm not bad at cooking. - It's...

(The braised kimchi with ribs turned out great.)

Next.

- You should mix it with rice. - Yes.

With seasoned radish...

and dried laver.

Where did you find the recipe?

On YouTube.

I looked it up and dozens of recipes showed up.

(Making a wrap with a piece of aged kimchi)

It looks delicious.

- Do you eat it as a set like that? - Yes. Like this.

(Amazed)

- The standard of homemade food. - Totally homemade food style.

Thank goodness the meat is cooked.

Meat should be boiled in water first.

(The gangdoenjang ssam is also good.)

I'm sorry, darling.

Great job, okay?

(Having homemade food on Christmas)

About what?

(Gnawing the meat off thoroughly)

(Royal Chef Eom the Mom is relieved.)

Before going on tour,

I always have homemade food at home.

Delivery food has that...

No, delivery food is missing...

- that satisfying taste. - Well...

- She is... - It has to be homemade food.

(Eating)

Why speak in Japanese?

- She's on a show. - It's a Japanese show.

(My Star is digging in as if it were a meal with her parents.)

(My Star is digging in as if it were a meal with her parents.)

- It's salty. - Right?

I'm sorry, darling.

(Glaring)

I'm sorry, darling.

I tried to do my best.

Do you know how much he nagged at me for using the spicy chilli powder?

You two were like an old couple who have lived together for years.

That's what I think too.

(That's what I think too.)

As long as we don't live together.

(Me too.)

I don't care about us being a couple...

as long as we don't live together.

Your dad is a real bully.

Dad must've really nagged at you.

Yes.

(A cheerful and chatty family full of love)

Eat slowly.

What work do you have left for this year?

In a few days, I'm going to Japan and greet the New Year there.

Are you done with domestic work?

Domestic-wise, yes.

That's a relief.

Only a meet-and-greet is left.

- I see. - After that, I leave.

Are you popular among school kids?

Yes, we have many elementary school fans.

How come?

When we go to do a concert...

Are there school kids?

It's packed with them.

The elementary school fans answer with baby-like voices.

For example, if I asked, "Right?"

They'd be like, "Yes!"

(The viral concert video)

The stage was all blue, right?

- Yes! - Yes!

Correct. Who just answered it?

- Me! - Me!

I asked, "Who just answered it?"

And everyone was like, "Me!" Cute, right?

- I could tell from today. - Tell what?

Fierce girl groups may be a little too scary...

for elementary school kids to like.

But IVE is mild and princess-like.

It's easy on the eyes for those kids...

and for us adults too.

Imagine how happy you'd be...

- with a daughter like her. - I know, right?

- You'd be proud. - Of course.

(My Star is motivating Seo Genie to get married.)

Do you want more rice?

No, I'm happy with how full I am.

- Good. - I dug in like crazy.

- You did? - Hey.

(Covering them up)

She really dug in.

When did you eat all of that...

while chatting with us?

You're incredible.

- I feel great. - Yes.

(My Daughter has had a hearty meal.)

That was an amazing meal.

I've been wanting to ask, starting with Uncle Kwang Kyu.

You know how people...

constantly tease you about your hair?

I wanted to know if it's ever hurt you.

- Me? - Yes.

People tease you by saying...

your head is shining...

and things like that.

Have you really never been upset by it?

There was a time when I was.

But my favourite idiom is...

"a blessing in disguise."

When I thought about it objectively,

that was actually...

what boosted my career...

during a difficult time.

It helped me land my first commercial.

(He started shooting commercials thanks to his hair loss.)

(He started shooting commercials thanks to his hair loss.)

If I held back once,

many people loved it.

That made me happy.

With that, I changed my way of thinking.

Not many actors leave...

their hair as Kwang Kyu does.

- Normally, they shave the hair off. - True.

But with his hair loss, Kwang Kyu...

(The secret behind the hair loss success)

- Taking the single path. - Correct.

He's the one and only in Korea.

- That itself is extraordinary. - Right?

Here's what I always tell Kwang Kyu.

"The hair loss is what's helping you..."

"make a living."

(The hair loss is what's helping you make a living.)

Don't you get hurt by words like those?

- Not one bit. - Really?

It's the truth.

I never lie.

- You two really bicker a lot. - What?

Despite it, Kwang Kyu just goes with the flow.

He's stronger than I am.

He's also wealthier than me.

(All questions about Kwang Kyu have been answered.)

- Uncle Seo Jin. - Yes?

You're known to be extremely stingy.

- Yes. - For real?

I'm very frugal about...

- the monthly payments. - I see.

Even with YouTube, I don't pay money to use it.

- No premium? - No.

- You watch the commercials? - I do.

(Impressed)

I save up when it comes to electricity bills.

How much did you pay for heating?

It's been really cold recently.

How much did you pay last month?

I left on December 3...

- and was abroad for two weeks. - Okay.

Before that, I didn't turn the heating on.

(Before that, I didn't turn the heating on.)

- Really? - "I shall endure it until I leave."

My gosh.

(Paid 0 dollars on heating last month)

And the houses above and below me.

I hold out on the heating from those two houses.

(I hold out on the heating from those two houses.)

(A new concept, heating between houses)

- Heating between houses? - Yes.

- Heating between houses. - Correct.

That sort of makes my house warm.

- I went over a few times. - I see.

His place is like Siberia.

It's so cold, far from what I prefer.

- Visiting him in winter is a no. - That's what he's like.

Listen.

It's not like I'm being frugal on purpose.

Think of it as a way of life...

that runs in the family.

At home,

I normally only have one light on.

(At home, I normally only have one light on.)

I get so annoyed when I'm over at his house.

- I see. - At Seo Jin's...

Even when Kwang Kyu comes over for drinks at times,

I only have one light on.

- I go home because I feel so cold. - It must get cold.

- The cold makes me leave. - Right.

- It's cold with only one light on. - Yes.

(Laughing)

Either way,

I spend money on things I want to,

and save on areas I can save.

I have a clear standard on it.

- Here's what I really want to know. - Okay.

It's not a question just for Seo Jin.

(Struck with a real dilemma)

It's for both of you,

as people with more life experience...

and my uncles.

My manager got married not too long ago.

Unfortunately, IVE couldn't attend...

his wedding because we had an overseas schedule.

I have no idea how much congratulatory money to give...

in such a situation.

We've been working together for quite a long time.

How long?

(With your manager)

It's been about 2 to 3 years.

We'd love to show our appreciation and congratulations.

But how much wouldn't...

put pressure on either party...

while expressing...

our gratitude and congratulations?

If you're stuck, text me. I'll tell you.

- Like how much? - Ask me how much,

- and I'll set the amount for you. - A consult.

- A congratulatory money consult. - Do it now.

(The generous-by-occasion Seo Genie's...)

(congratulatory money consult)

- A congratulatory money consult. - Do it now.

- Set it for her now. - You see,

- relationships differ for everyone. - If...

Say that Kwang Kyu gets married.

- I've been wanting to ask. - Okay.

If Kwang Kyu were to marry, how much would you pay?

- How much... - A lot.

(A lot.)

How much?

(Let's hear it.)

How much?

I'd pay enough that he'd be in the top three.

(I'd pay enough that he'd be in the top 3.)

No?

I'd pay enough that he'd be in the top three.

No? He'd be in the top three.

I'll confirm it with news reports.

(To be continued...)

Thank you for spending the day with me.

I'm sure you didn't want to work on Christmas.

- I actually prefer it. - It...

We've got nothing to do.

But still, Christmas is a holiday. It's best to get some rest.

We didn't even know...

- Christmas was a holiday. - Exactly.

You're our Christmas present, Yu Jin.

- But still, thank you. - I'm serious.

Thank you.

(Returning the kindness with a Christmas carol)

(Happy New Year, 2026!)

Little did I expect to spend Christmas...

with you two.

- Let's apologise. - We apologise.

- No, it was fun. - I'm sorry.

- Was it fun? - Totally.

(How was it with My Star?)

Every time I saw her,

I thought, "Yu Jin, who ate my braised ribs, is doing a great job."

I will watch her with a loving heart,

like she's my daughter.

Yu Jin is...

just cute, like she's my niece.

It's just like watching my niece.

And...

I treat my niece very dearly...

because I adore her.

I want to treat Yu Jin the same.

What's more, wouldn't a dad be very proud...

if his daughter became successful like her?

(If you were to grade the Grumpy Secretary)

When it comes to fun, full marks.

But when it comes to work alone,

we won't see each other again.

First off, if I were to attend the Gayo Daejeon next year,

I'd be reminded of them.

"Last year,"

"they treated me to food and packed me water."

"I recall us having such a conversation."

I'll really miss it.

For real, it was a Christmas I'd never experience again.

I mean it in a good way.

(For 50 to 60 years)

(Nam Jin, the Eternal Crush)

(It's a fate connected by someone.)

(Let's check out our old photos.)

(The teenage girl fans,)

(even after entering their 70s,)

(are still with Nam Jin.)

(60th Anniversary Nationwide Tour Concert)

(The Grumpy Secretary is off to take care of him.)

(Boxed lunches prepped for My Star by the fans for 30 years)

(How did you feel after seeing the boxed lunches?)

We're having some hearty meals today.

(Eating)

(Getting caught eating nonstop)

(Take care of Nam Jin as much as they've eaten)

(Everyone came prepared for the concert, right?)

(Tapping)

(- Go ahead, Kwang Kyu. - Do what?)

Just continue. Do something.

(Even with the bickering Grumpy Secretary,)

(Nam Jin is simply happy.)

(The strong mentality behind My Star)

(A bomb landed right next to me while I was having a meal.)

(My left leg is weak.)

(He was stabbed with a knife.)

It was about...

(A born cool guy)

(Sung by the cool guy My Star,)

(a song full of intense emotions)

I cried the most when I didn't have money to go to the hospital.
