All language subtitles for (2007) Higway Star.eng

Trot is the oldest form
of Korean pop music.

This melodramatic genre

is the most popular
among older generations.

It is likened to American country music

in terms of its themes and audiences.

That damn NA Tae-Song ?

Didn't you help him out
back in the old days?

But he hasn't called even once?

That ungrateful bastard

See, that's the kind
of singer we need.

One big star,

if we want to hold our heads up
in front of the boss.

Put a lid on it?

That's why we're here,
to find that big catch?

Think of the mouths to feed.

Finding another one isn't the answer.

Mr. CHO.

First, call the sales manager
at Shangri-La Night Club?

Mi Ok, let's get pissed tonight, yeah?

Where are all the pretty girls?

You're so shallow, you know that?

Of course?

I wouldn't want you girls to drown, now.

Susie, Susie, I'm sorry.

Hey

Did you practice the stuff I gave you?

You suckers deaf or something?

This is why you're just
second-rate amateurs.

I oughta just..

Just listen to that.

Now that's real music, ya hear?

Yes, sir.

Mr. NA, sir.

Oh, of course.

The music is ready, sir.

Really, sir?

Why, I'd be honored.

I'd die for you, sir.

You better sound perfect out there.

Cause II be singing on TV
any day now, you suckers.

Susie, Susie, I'm sorry

That lousy song

No-talent, Trot imposter

This way, sir.

We came to see the sales manager.

Who should I say is here?

Tell him it's Mr. JANG from Seoul

Yes, sir.

.let Fate decide.

I just love you, yeah

Only you

He can't sing like the real thing,
but he sure dresses like him.

The one, my one and only companion.

Yes, next is the debut performance
of my new single.

Susie, Susie, 'Im Sorry

Let's sing it together.

A one, a two,

A one, two, three, four

What the heck?

Hey Sing, you moron

Who planned to screw me over, huh?

God, that piercing silence

I've been humiliated

Was it you? You?

Who's the goddamn genius?

Just be honest with me.

You're mixing medications, aren't you?

You think you're big-shot rockers?

Paris Hilton would do Rock
better than you morons

Paris Hilton?

What the hell are you looking at?

As if your song is any better

What did you just say?

You little shit

I'm gonna tear you to pieces

Get off me / Let go, you idiots

Sir, calm down

Hey, hold on to him

Somebody help me

What the heck did you do to Susie?

BONG Dal-Ho. Open the door.

Hey

You bastards

No

HIGHWAY STAR

Jesus, those idiots are at it again

Stupid amateurs.

You came in the night

and gave me
the best smile in the world

then you left me to die

I walked as I stared up into the sky,

the stars shining in the darkness.

If you come back to me tonight,

I will take you away forever.

Don't you forget, forget about me

Don't you

Don't ever forget

Even this starry, star-studded night.

Even when,

the rain falls,

II wait for you

That's him.

That rich, yet delicate sound

Such a dynamic vibrato

It sends chills through my heart

I told him not to sing that crap

Mr. JANG, sir, one minute.

I'm telling you,

that asshole's gonna come after us.

Yeah, I know.

Where do we work now?

There's plenty of clubs. Just drink up.

Excuse me.

Big Sound Entertainment.
Marketing Director,

CHO Seung-Ho?

What the heck..

It's a record label that trains musicians.

Maybe not down here,

but in Seoul, we're pretty well-known

as the eMidas' of pop entertainment.

Nice to meet you, sir

I enjoyed your song.

You have an outstanding voice.

Oh, thank you.

And you are.

I'm BONG Dal-Ho,

the lead vocalist.

Will you come to Seoul
and make some real music with me?

Just me, sir?

Just you.

I don't really do bands.

If you were solo,

I could make you an album
and really make you big.

An album?

Look here, sir.

Us four, we ride together
and we"I die together.

Dal-Ho, just tell him how it is.

Yeah, all for one, man.

I knew that I would..

.have to part with them some day.

Yeah, it's good-bye forever,
you rednecks.

Like hell 'm gonna call you hillbillies.

II be busy with the big city babes.

BIG SOUND ENTERTAINMENT

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Your beloved Trot star,

LEE Dae-Chil
is here to grace this stage.

Hey now, there's our star.

Come in and have a seat

I hope I'm not intruding.

MUSIC IS MY LIFE...JANG JUN

Make yourself at home.

I know, it's a bit cozy, eh?

True art always thrives in poverty.

Right, right.

So... who are all those people?

Our star lineup, of course.

Well, isn't there anyone famous?
Anyone I would have heard of?

Nope, they're it.

Don't worry,

now that you're one of us,
II take care of you

So sir,
I guess you have Trot crooners too?

No, Trot is the only thing we do.

I see.

But, you're no to

Am I doing Trot?

Does genre really matter that much?

Of course it matters

You heard me sing, sir

and you want me to do Trot?

What's wrong with Trot?

Why on earth
a rocker makes that tacky music?

God,I knew things were going too well

- Let's just cal it off.
- That's not right

Mr.CHO

You know what this is?

What is it?

It's your contract.

Contract,my ass.

You signed your name here.

How much did we give Dal-Ho
for the deal?

The penalty fee is what,

four or five times more?

You know, it's all in the contract.

No, wait.

Wait a minute.

Please, just think it over.

I mean, why me?

Look, Seo-Yeon is here.

Who is she?

One of our artists.

Why?

Why didn't you say so?

Hello, there.

I'm BONG Dal-Ho.

Hi, I'm CHA Seo-Yeon.

Nice to meet you.

Yes, right.

Hey

It wouldn't hurt

to make a little conversation.

- Yeah, rookie?
- What? Rookie?

Why? You just started
in this business,

so I'm like your mentor

- My mentor?
Yeah, we're both Trot singers now.

Trot singers?

Yeah, whatever.

Why are we hiking, anyhow?

You need to be fit in order to sing.

Jesus,I can't..

Didn't they hear of a light morning jog?

It's a darn family freak show.

My dear Molly Sue.

- More feeling
Will I ever see you again?

My dear Molly Sue.
- One more time

Yearning for my Molly Sue

Dal-Ho, you're next.

Yes?

Did you practice?

Huh?

I don't know what's happened to me.

Just don't know what's wrong with me

I just can't grasp..

Put emotion in to it and don't shriek

Again

I don't know what's happened to me.

- Can't hear you
- Just don't know what's wrong.

Clench your teeth

I just can't grasp it..

- You're sad You're in sorrow.
- I can't understand my sorrow,

Put your hand out

but I know I need to get over you.

And clench your fist

I know now we're strangers,

Now, give it a nice snap

but I don't know why.…

Are you playing games here?

Why do I have to snap it?

You'll know why, once you do it.

Trot music is all about the vibrato

Again, from the last part

Okay, two, three, four.

But I don't know why.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

I don't want to act this way.

I hate myself for being like this.

Me too

I really hate you, too.

What is Trot music to you?

Redneck music

Trot is,

the spirit of our hearts and tears.

But you're not using your heart at all

Without that spirit,

you can't sing Trot.

You don't take it seriously enough

because I'm a rocker

Rock...Not some hillbilly Trot singer.

Practice is over.

Now, this is the good life.

You're done with the countryside jobs?

Yes, sir.I even changed my name.

to LEE Dae-Su.

Did you, now?

Playing with the big fish, eh?

Oh, yes, sir.

This new name
will take me into the bigger world.

Sir, do I have to do Trot music?

II do anything besides Trot.

If not Rock,
then how about R& B or hip-hop?

What else? I BONG Dal-Ho

You may not understand it,

but I felt something in your voice.

Huh?

You may not like it,
but you just can't hide that

You're a natural-born Trot singer.

Natural-born?

Your face, voice, pitch, ambience..

Only Trot will make you a star.

Dal-Ho,

I'm gonna make you
into the king of Trot.

The king...of Trot?

Wait.

First, we need to fix that hair.

My hair?

No, no, we keep the hair.

The hair is off limits

Let's just eat.

Aw, come on, man.

Feels good, eh?

Dal-Ho.

Yes, sir.

Sheer perfection.

Do I really have to go out like this?

A singer's stage costume
is like a soldier's suit of armor.

You'll know on stage.

That feeling you get up there,

the lights reflecting off your body.

I look like a gay pride parade.

Hey, CHA Seo-Yeon.

That perfect body line

Wow, you look good.

Say, are you single?

I'm not interested in that.

You should live it up.

Fall in love and stuff.

Knock yourself out.

I'Ilpass.

I'm already living it up, of course.

You know what my middle name is?

Shallow.

Shallow?

Yeah, I'm not too deep.

But now,

III be shallow only for you.

A shallow river for you to walk across.

It means II protect you
from the harsh waters.

A shallow river only for me?

That's not too bad.

So, let's get pissed and talk more about

my role as your\\ Wait

One, two, three

It's on

Dal-Ho, that's the TV station.
- Where?

The lights go on every day,
at this time.

You know,
I always watch it while I practice.

Say, Mr. NA?

What's that up front?

My signature character, of course.

Oh,I see.

Dae-Su/Yes, sir.

You need to cleanse yourself
of those countryside habits,

or you won't make it in this business.

Oh, sure, sir.

That's why I'm serving you, of course.

My dear Molly Sue.

Mr. LEE,

why don't you get a job or something,
instead of wasting your time here?

The thing is,

I'm happiest up on the stage

singing Trot.

Really?

I guess you don't really like Trot,
Mr. BONG?

How could I, sir?

It's so tacky.

You said
you used to do Rock music, right?

Yes, sir

I'd like to hear it, if that's okay.

Here? Now?

Sure.

Well, I guess..

As the dark rain falls tonight,

I will take you away forever.

Don't you forget about me

Please wait for me to the end

Oh, yeah

I believe that music is all connected.

How about..something like this?

Huh?

As the dark rain falls tonight,

I will take you away forever.

Oh, don't you forget about me.

Please wait for me, please.

Wait for me to the end.

I think that everything

we feel with our hearts, it's all music.

And out of all that music,
what I do best is Trot.

That's why I'm sitting here, singing Trot.

Don't you..

That's decent, actually.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Something is really wrong with me.

Shit, Mom.

I seriously need to get pissed tonight.

Right, Dal-Ho?

This borderline

Nice

Now,

who wants to cross this river first?

- What the heck is this guy saying?
- I'm BONG Dal-Ho.

- Hey, that guy's so hot.
- He's gorgeous

Gorgeous, my ass.

That kind of song
needs to come from the gut.

You gotta growl

You wanna hear me try it?

I'm a lead vocal, you know.

What, you don't believe me?

Hey, stop

Guys, let's start with the usual

From the top, guys

Let's go

Get off the stage, jerk

- Go home, you drunk.
- I'm the lead vocal for City-Rock

Let me sing, damn it.

Quiet down, man.

Address.

The penthouse.

In detail

A 10 square foot penthouse.

Hey, moron

What's your occupation?

I'm a rocker.

What theo

Actually,

my mom runs a small shop back home.

BONG's Coffee.

When I came up to Seoul,
I completely back stabbed my band.

because I thought Id make it big.

But I'm just lying around at home.

This guy says I have some dope..

Dope feeling

What?

I really didn't want to do it,

but those crooks, they forced me to..

And that big dragon on Mr. JANG'so

It's freaking..Almost alive.

Oh, you haven't seen it.

Mr.JANG says
I'm a natural, a dope singer.

Officer, can I ask you a question?

Do you think I'm dope too?

JANG Jun, owner of
Big Sound Entertainment.

Next.

Marketing Director, CHO Seung-Ho.

All right.

I'm sorry but Mr. JANG.
please lift up your shirt.

Pardon?

Lift up your shirt.

Hey, Detective KIM./Yes, sir

Run their blood tests
and get their hair samples

What for, sir? I have an O blood type.

I've done all sorts of things,

but I never gave blood
at the police station

Why the hell did you drag me into this?

Sir, I didn't mean to..

I was drunk.

Drunk?

You're drinking at a time like this?

Mr.CHO

Yes, sir.

Do we have any schedules set?

Well, I wouldn't call it a schedule,

but there's a fair in countryside.

and Seo-Yeon is set to sing there.

Take him along.

You're gonna start from the bottom

But sir.

Stuck in my heart, that Shanghai Twist.

- Thank you
Great show, ma'am. Fantastic

All right then, have a seat now.

Now, the moment
you've been waiting for,

the guest star performance

All the way from Seoul,
here on her nation-wide tour,

please give it up for new artist,
CHA Seo-Yeon

- Let's go, CHA Seo-Yeon
- Your smile shines in the moonlight.

It seems just yesterday,
I gave you my all.

But in the rain of time,

that forgetful rain,

did you wash my love away?

When the rain stops falling,

the moon will shine again.

Then, just then,

will you come back?

Will you come back to me?

Though this rain falls on my tears,

and as it soaks my aching heart,

I still can't leave the rain behind.

Though it pounds me down,

and though it pierces my heart,

I think maybe it might be you.

Though the rain falls on my tears,

and as it soaks my aching heart,

I still can't leave the rain behind.

The rain that pounds me down,

the rain that pierces my heart,

I hope maybe it might be you.

Congratulations on the first sail
of the fisher-boat, the Camellia.

Thank you.

It rains every time she sings

- Maybe it's the lyrics.
- No,it's only raining over us

Come on, hurry, hurry

You're all wet

Thank you.

No, no, thank you.

Aren't you cold? /Yeah, a little.

I warm you up

You poor thing.

What the hell are you doing?

I was just trying to warm her up

Sir, you know when you tour like this

and there's two people going,

then you get some action
with Seo-Yeon.

Right?

Am I right?

She's not that kind of girl

Please, just go to sleep All right?

Oh,I see.

Yeah, that makes sense.

What was I thinking?

Why would she sleep with you?

Right?

Don't you think so?

Right? Huh?

Hey, why the pillow.

Are you going to her room?

I told you to just go to sleep
You like that? Huh?

You like being poked like that?

Ow, it stings

What the..

TAE Jun-Ah, disgusting jerk.

What the hell

He's all over the place

Why are you still in here?

I'm your manager.

What if someone just rushes in?

Then turn around, at least.

Come on, I'm not gonna look.

Go over to the corner
and close your eyes.

Are you that shy?

Then close your eyes while you change.

Hey, will you stop acting stupid?

Okay, fine.

Why are you trying out for this dump?

I'd just give it up, if I were you.

Soaked in my tears, and this rain,

I hope and call out your name.

When the rain stops falling,

the moon will shine again.

Then, just then,

will you come back to.…

Hey, stop

Hey, just stop

Get down

I think

I'm having a stroke.

She's a bit nervous today.

Now, that body is such a waste.

Forget about singing. You just ain't it.

Why don't you work at our club
as a call girl instead?

I tell ya, it's better money than singing.

Come here, eh?

Have a seat

Huh? Sit down

Bitch, look at that attitude

Seo-Yeon, let's go. Mr. CHO

Who the fuck are you?

Me? I'm...

I'm Dal-Ho

Dal-Ho? So what?

Stupid club pimp

What, audition?

A pimp?

Yeah You think this is the only club?

A call girl? Let's go, Seo-Yeon

You fucking nuts?

Yeah, I am, asshole

You little shit

Oh my God Dal-Ho
Sir, please Stop

Oh my God No

What did you say?

Huh? Pimp?

Get up

You little

Stupid.

Why'd you do that?

That jerk

Why, I oughta.

Dal-Ho,
don't ever do that again, all right?

If you do, then I'm done with you.

I have to stay shallow, even in a storm.

You thought
I didn't really mean all that?

Your lip is all bleeding.

You think I'm crazy too, don't you?

Huh?

You know, my singing.

But, you know,

I was really good when I was little

I'm serious, Dal-Ho

Dad told me that

I sounded just like Barbara Streisand

Whenever he shaved in the morning,

I would stand there and sing for him.

And every time, he just loved it.

When the song was over,

he'd give me this cookie
from his pocket.

Later on, there were times I sang

just because I wanted that cookie.

- Here, rub this on.
- Oh, thank you.

Sir, did you get us rooms?

Sir, let's just go back home.

I won't think of you anymore.

I have to forget you once more,

I have to forget you once more.

Yes

Dal-Ho, you're much, much better

See, Dal-Ho,

a singer needs more than a voice.

That charming gaze, pitiful face,
a delicate hand gesture,

and smooth, gliding steps.

You get what Im saying?

Watch me do it and try.

Imitation is where art begins.

Now, hold the mic.

Don't clutch it.

Hold it gently in your hands

and softly hold out your right hand.

No

Like this, you see?

A little this way.

Good.

Look forward to the audience.

No, a 45 degree angle is the best.

Then, give them a smile.

Right.

You're too stiff now.

Tighten your buttocks. Hip up

Hip up

Why do you need to pull your hips up?

Well, I have no idea.

- Sex appeal, my boy Up
- Ah, sex appeal.

Not too much.

An artist's hand is like a brush,

painting the mood of the song
in the air.

Think of it as a brush.

Watch.

I don't know what's happened to me.

I just don't know what's wrong with me.

I just can't grasp..

I just can't grasp it.

I can't understand my sorrow.

..understand my sorrow.

You see?

Your body should move like silk

Hands, body, everything should flow.

Tears are welled up in my eyes.

I don't want to act this way.

I hate myself for being like this.

I need to get you out of my head, now.

I have to forget you once more.

You got it

He used to do Rock?

Yes, Mr. OH.

Then why didn't he just stick to Rock?

Oh, he just really
wants to do Trot music

No demo, not even a picture of him,

and you want a record deal.

Is that what you're saying?

You still owe me a lot of money.

sir,

I"II pay back everything this time.

If you don't?

No, I will

Please trust me this once.

Sir.

Ive known you for thirty years.

I'm putting
those thirty years on the line.

This will be the last time.

What do you think, Mr. OH?

Well if you approve, sir.

Then you listen to the kid and decide.

Yes, sir.

I will.

I won't forget your kindness, sir

This is your last chance.

You were so weird
when you first came.

That cheesy smile
and those freaky clothes.

That means you like me now.

Hey, there's no rush here.

Don't get pissed so fast.

Pissed? Come on, that's so unrefined.

All right.

Hey, slow down.

Dal-Ho,

did you know that it rains every time

the Native Americans
do their rain dance?

You know why?

Were you there singing with them?

You didn't have to do that for them.

It's because

they dance until the rain falls.

I thought I could sing
until I make it big.

That's why I couldn't quit.

Until I make it.

Seo-Yeon, are you asleep?

Yeah, keep sleeping.

Seo-Yeon, are you asleep?

Singers these days.

They just quit if they feel like it

I know,sir.

Right here.

If you just quit, then is that it?

Hey

Back in my day, in my…

Seo-Yeon wants to quit.

What?

She doesn't want to sing anymore.

She was such a hard worker.

Mr. JANG tried so hard
to make her a star.

Seo-Yeon

Practice ran a little late.

I see.

Hey.

Is it true that you're quitting?

Oh, that...

What am I gonna do if you're gone?

You're the only reason I stayed here.

Do you have to go?

Don't worry. II be back soon.

You promise?

II miss making fun of you too much.

So practice hard
until get back, okay?

- Wow, it's beautiful
- Yeah,it's great.

Seo-Yeon,

- let's take a picture.
- A picture? Okay.

Look here.

One, two, three

What...

You scared me.

A peck on the cheek..

We're both adults,

- let's do it right.
Oh, hey, get away

Dal-Ho,

I really want to thank you.

Give it all you got, okay?

Oh, my.../Does it really hurt?

I'm stuck here./ Are you okay?

Don't touch me./ You're really hurt?

Oh, my leg../ Are you okay?

Look

Hey

Lift your head up

Now, hold a reed in your mouth.

Bite it, now.

That's good.

Lift the hat up a bit.

No, no, look here at the camera

Jeez, I look like an idiot.

Now, pretend you're kissing a girl.

What...

What's wrong with these pictures?

Damn it.

Hold on.

This looks all right.

You have such a great eye, sir.

Dal-Ho..

BONG Dal-Ho.

The name doesn't sound right.

We need something cool.

Cool?

Those cool names these days.…

Like U-Know Yoon-Ho,

WON Bin, or JANG Dong-Gun,
those are cool, eh?

U-Know Dal-Ho?

JANG Dong BONG?

or

U-Know WON JANG?

I'm sorry I asked.

It has to have a feeling like, bam

Of course, sir. Bam

It needs that feeling.

A Trot feeling.

Sir

How about Trot Feel?

Idiot, you call that a name?

Are you kidding me?

Hey, hold on.

Shit, what do I do?

Who are you?

Didn't I already do you?

Oh, you did.

Actually, could you
make it a bit thicker?

All right.

Thank you.

There you go.

Oh, no.

I have this situation, and..

Could you just make it thicker?

What?

Excuse me? I Oh, don't mind me

God, this migraine

I forgot my hat. II be right back.

He's really hurting there.

Gave me a heart attack

Please, just make it real thick.
so I don't look like myself.

Don't you get it?

Are you yelling at me?

No, Im not yelling.

My parents are against it,
so I need a good disguise.

I'm sorry, but please help me out.

It's done.

Thank you so much.

What the heck is this?

- What's her problem?
- Bong-Feel, are you in there?

Are you insane? You're on now.

- Something's in my eye.
- Get out here now

Bong-Feel

What do I do...

Our new artist, Bong-Feel

Huh? It's Dal-Ho's turn.

Did they change it?

Yes, he's one very interesting artist.

Mr. Bong-Feel
That is your name, right?

Oh, yes, it is.

That little..

I didn't know, sir. He's gone nuts.

Is there a reason
for wearing this mask?

Oh, huh?

Oh, a reason?

Why, of course.

There's a reason.

- It's concept. Yeah, concept.
- Oh, a concept

So, it's a mystery.

Yes, that's it Right there.

I see, a mystery. That's interesting

It's time
the Trot world tried something new.

Call me

Bong-Feel, the masked mystery singer.

We weren't expecting this,
so we're surprised as well

Let's see the performance.

It's the masked mystery,
Bong-Feel's stage

Please give it up for
Good-Bye Bridge

Our last good-bye on this bridge.

Even the soft wind grazes my heart.

I'm just standing here, crying,

unable to stop you.

As I stop in my tracks

and just stare blankly into the water,

it quietly passes me by,

leaving me here.

Have you worked here long?

Let me, ma'am.

You have a girlfriend?

You're so handsome.

I'm so sorry, ma'am

That's 20,000 won. Thank you.

Isn't that.

Hey, mister

Excuse me.

The entire country was watching you.

Are you insane?

Is it a game to you?

I..I was scared and nervous

You get nervous,
so you wear that thing?

Take off that mask
I don't even wanna look at it.

You're not a part of us anymore.

I made a mistake, sir.

Get out.

In my thirty years in this business,

I never had to kick someone out.

I tried to stick it out with all of you,

stick it out through the thick and thin.

But this is the last straw.

Go.

Get out

Everyone else loved it, eh?

Stupid, overreacting old farts.

You can't kick me out, I quit.

I didn't want to do it anyway

Sir

Look at this

He made it

Dal-Ho

I mean masked mystery
Bong-Feel It's a hit

Come on, sir, hurry
It's all over the internet.

Everyone's asking who the mask is

Plus, they love Good-Bye Bridge

What in the world ? It's a miracle.

Hello?

Yes.

Producer Park

Next week's schedule?

Yes, sir

Mr. Cho/Yes?

Where's our star?

How would I know?

What are you doing? Go find him.

Oh, yes, sir.

Just one sec.

Hey, Seo-Yeon,
it's me, Dal-Ho.

Call me when you get this message.

1.. really have a lot to tell you.

Dal-Ho

What?

What..what's he doing? I Dal-Ho

- Why is he following me?
- Hey Dal-Ho

Oh my God

Dal-Ho

Are you okay?

Dal-Ho

Thank you.

Thank you so much

You finally did it

Everyone was talking about

the new artist that suddenly
rose to stardom last week

Yes, here's
the masked mystery, Bong-Feel

Please give him a round of applause

Our last good-bye on this bridge.

Even the soft wind grazes my heart.

I'm just standing here, crying,

unable to stop you.

As I stop in my tracks

and just stare blankly into the water,

it quietly passes me by,

leaving me here.

The only thought in my head

is that I can't cross this bridge.

With heavy steps, I cross.

WHO IS THE MASKED MYSTERY?

I turn again and again to see you there,

but like a fool,
I can't even stop you.

At the ends of this bridge,

we call out to each other,

but we're just too far apart

to hear our love.

Just crumble apart, instead

So we can never meet again.

It breaks my heart to think

of our hopeless love.

Our love, stuck forever,

on this bridge.

Why, thank you sir.

We just moved our office, that's al

Anyway, you should drop by sometime.

Yes, well, thank you.

Even the air conditioning is built in

Yes?

Oh, sir Mr. CHO!

Why, of course.

No, no.

For you, we'"I make time, sir.

Yes, sir All right.

Mr. CHO/Yes, sir?

Is Dal-Ho busy tomorrow night?

Let's see, tomorrow..

Yes, he has a schedule in another city.

He does?

Well, Mr. CHOI wants to meet Dal-Ho.

How about another time?

But he's only free tomorrow night.

Just cancel tomorrow's performance.

No, we already advertised it and al

Hey now, it's Mr. CHOI's request

Dad.

I want his autograph on here.

Oh, of course

Here you go./Yes, sir.

Say, was the mask your idea?

I'm flattered, sir.

Dad?

I wanna see Bong-Feel's real face.

Yes, actually, 'm curious too.

Sir It's a mystery concept

Please./It's just us.

Please, mister

But it's..

All right.

Bong-Feel

Take it off.

It's okay. Go on.

What the heck is that

Mr. JANG

I see why you put the mask on him.

He's so bald

He's like, older than Dad.

Good work.

Don't ever take off the mask. Ever.

The moment you do take it off

we're all dead.

Let's keep the mystery concept.

Yes, sir.

Cut down on the expenses

We're trying, sir.

Good to see you again, sir

Who...are you?

Don't you remember?

We're Dal-Ho's band friends,

City-Rock

Oh, what brings you al here?

What the....

I put this name tag on my heart

and stamp true love on my chest.

Hold on tight if you'll stay with me.

Shh... Quiet down.

Don't quit your club gigs, all right?

We know Bong-Feel's real identity

Frankly,

if people know his past
as a second-rate chorus,

and his women,

Bong-Feel will be history

Yeah, we know everything

Do whatever you want

Crazy idiots.

Get out

Who do you think we are?

I told you we shouldn't do this.

God, you freaking idiots.

It's all because you messed up, moron

Say what?

This, isn't rocket science.

All hail

The rain can't soak the sea.

There's only one King of Trot

NA Tae-Song

Hail the king

Sir. Let's just drink it up.

My, you're just a dreamboat

Honey,

I"II ive you drinks on the house

if you do me one tiny favor.

Yeah? And what's that?

Just one autograph.

Why, you little fox

It's an honor. Don't you forget it.

Now, where do you want it?

Oh no. Not yours, baby.

That guy, the masked mystery.

I love him

His song is so good.

I even bought the CD.

I heard he's really handsome

he's actually a millionaire

I heard he's really young.

Honey, bring the mask here next time.

Hey

Did you see him?

Did you see if he's good-looking or rich?

I heard under that stupid mask,
he's shiny bald

How's your mother's health?

Oh, she's fine

Sir, the press is here.

Oh,they are?/ Yes.

Hold on, Seo-Yeon.

Sure.

Oh, her?

She's a new artist we found.

You know, she sings really well

Hey

You two aren't
meeting up and all, right?

Scandals can kill you these days.

Just seconds, and it's just all online

Are you sure
you're meeting him today?

He's recording late at the studio.

Oh, really?

I tell ya, he never checks his schedule.

How about
a quick meeting at the studio?

III set it up with his manager.

CHA Seo-Yeon

Were you here long?

Sit down

Okay.

The taping was over early,

but the fans..
I had to sign for all of them.

I was just about to leave
because you seemed busy.

Leave?
No, you gotta wait for me.

Never mind that.
How could you be so cold?

You didn't even call once.

Yeah, I was just busy.

Aren't you the masked Bong-Feel?

Oh, yes, I am.

Could I get an autograph?

Oh, sure.

- Your name is?
- I'm Ok-Hee.

Ok-Hee.

I really love your song.

I'm a huge fan.

I guess this is your girlfriend?

Oh, no, we're just friends.

Here you go.

Hey, Seo-Yeon,

did you know this mask concept

was my idea?

This was my ladder to stardom.

Could you take that off, though?

Do you have to wear it even with me?

What's wrong with it?

People don't recognize me ifI don't.

Why are you so down?

You missed me that much, eh?

Did you dream of crossing this river?

I missed BONG Dal-Ho, not Bong-Feel

Are you nuts?

It's not BONG Dal-Ho

People can hear you.
Call me Bong-Feel.

Dal-Ho.

Fine, Bong-Feel

How long are you gonna keep this up?

Do you think
people truly like your music?

I don't know why you wear that mask.

Do you think
they can feel your sincerity?

What are you talking about?

You sing of love,
but you're lying to yourself

Seo-Yeon, it's not ike that.

Even now, you're ashamed of Trot.

You're lying to all these people.

Hey

BONG Dal-Ho, at least, didn't lie.

People are staring.

We should leave.

I'm gonna go.

Seo-Yeon...

Please leave a message.

Seo-Yeon?

What?

Hello?

Answer me

I'ma going to Seoul, Dal-Ho

I'm not saying this again

You do that music crap and 'm a kill ya

MASKED SINGER
FIGHTS WITH SECRET LOVER

He just debuted,
and already a scandal?

Just look at what they wrote here

Think how much damage this will do

I'm sorry, sir.

Sorry?

And you..

You set it up for them

Goddamn idiot.

What are you gonna do about it?

II take care of it, sir.

MASKED SINGER
FIGHTS WITH SECRET LOVER

Yes, Mr. CHO.

I told you, no scandals.

Sir, I didn't..

You should've been more careful

What am I supposed to do now?

I'm sorry, sir.

Please, help me out here.

And..

Dal-Ho promised
he wouldn't see you again.

You get what I'm saying, right?

Yes, sir.

God, this really sucks.

Oh, Dal-Ho?

When'd you get in?

Dal-Ho, you know how I feel, right?

He was about to kill me, really

You think I wanted to do this?

Hey, Dal-Ho

I haven't changed, Seo-Yeon.

I'm the same old BONG Dal-Ho.

You're a big star now,

and I'm just an ordinary girl.

In life, sometimes

we have to give up and
pretend everything is fine,

and just give in.

Don't say that.

Seo-Yeon, what Mr. CHO said was.

I know what you want to say.

We've both changed a lot.

What's changed so much?

I have to go.

Seo-Yeon

Dal-Ho,

I'm really sorry
if I somehow got in your way

or anything like that

Don't call me again.

And don't come here either.

Good-bye, Dal-Ho.

Seo-Yeon

Hey,Seo-Yeon

Why did ya leave home anyway, eh?

Ain't it because you're done with me?

I was about to call..

Don't bullshit me

And where's all this from?

What is all this?

Are you a drug peddler?

Mom...

You lost it

Do you think I've changed too?

I said, what's all this mess

I should've told you before.

I'm the masked mystery, Bong-Feel

That's me

What?

What you blabbering about?

The mask was ecause I was ashamed.

But Mom, 'm... mo

I'm still your son, aren't I?

I haven't changed at all

Goodness,

I think ya changed a lot, you fool

Our last good-bye on this bridge.

Even the soft wind grazes my heart.

I'm just standing here..

That fool's gone crazy, now

Hey,it's pink today.

I heard he has one in mesh.

Good afternoon.

Oh, goodness gracious

What the hell are you?

Excuse me?

I said, what are you

I'm a singer.

A singer?

You cal hiding under that rag, singing?

Take it off.

No, I can't.

You can't?

What happened to this industry, eh?

A true singer
wins solely with his music.

Don't disgrace the stage anymore.

Go on, fool

It's Good-Bye Bridge

I hate that guy. What's with the mask?

Isn't it all just a publicity stunt?

That's such a lame excuse.

Cut the guy some slack.

I get where he's coming from.

Everyone's
got a mortgage to pay, right?

DRINK UP, WITH BEST MORNING

All right, cheers/ Bottoms up.

So, you asked Mr. JANG to hire us?

Thanks, man.
I knew we could count on you.

BONG Dal-Ho

You ditched us for Seoul,
and for what?

That stupid Trot music?

Come on, guys.

Fill em up, all right?

Let's get pissed off our asses tonight

Pissed? Don't act so unrefined.

I can't believe my ears.

Is this really Dal-Ho?

Anyway, we'll start rocking

when you're back..

Guys.

Trot,

it's some tasty music.

Does genre matter that much?

If people listen, smile,

and clap along with you,

then that's good music.

Where'd you pick up a line like that?

Please leave a message.

Say, Producer Kim,

about the Music Awards.

Yes?

I know Bong-Feel will get
the New Artist Prize,

but it won't affect me
winning Grand Prize, right?

Well, the thing is..

it's all done real-time, by phone, so.

WHICH KING WILL

BE CROWNED TONIGHT?

THE HEATED BATTLE

FOR THE GRAND PRIZE

I seriously can't do this.

I'm not nervous,

I'm just embarrassed

You're embarrassed?

I know just what to do.

Moron.

What do you know about love?

She broke my heart and left me,

with only these scars
and pain to bear.

Were we lovers,

only for that one night?

That was an exciting performance

Now, our next artist is
another strong contender for the title.

Yes, he won Grand Prize
two years in a row

A big round of applause
for Mr. NA Tae-Song

A man's life is

an endless quest for victory.

One false move,

and before you know it, he's history.

Bong-Feel, Bong-Feel

Bong-Feel

Bong-Feel..

Already, the crowd is going wild

Yes

He's the new sensation in music,

here with a special chorus today

Yes, singing Good-Bye Bridge,

here's Bong-Feel

Our last good-bye on this bridge.

Even the soft wind grazes my heart.

Why the heck are they in masks too?

You can't tell who's who

- Did you tell them to?
- Oh, no, sir

-Tell them not to wear it next time
- Yes, sir

As I stop in my tracks

and just stare blankly into the water,

it quietly passes me by,

leaving me here.

The only thought in my head

is that I can't cross this bridge.

With heavy steps, I cross to that side.

I turn again and again

to see you there,

but like a fool, I can't even stop you.

At the ends of this bridge,

we call out to each other,

but we're just too far apart

to hear our love.

Just crumble apart, instead

So we can never meet again.

It breaks my heart to think of

our hopeless love

I want to thank

everyone for all the love

and support you've shown

for the masked mystery, Bong-Feel.

To be honest,

I wore this mask

because I was ashamed
of singing Trot music.

But now,

I can sing with my head held high.

Although she's not with me now,

I dedicate this song to the one

who taught me
about true love and music.

Just crumble apart, instead

So we can never meet again.

It breaks my heart to think of

our hopeless love.

Our love,

stuck on this bridge.

Now, the moment
you've been waiting for

It's time to announce the Grand Prize

Will NA Tae-Song take it home again,

or will the rising star
receive the honor?

Yes, I wonder just what results tonight's

unmasking of Bong-Feel's
identity will bring.

I'm getting more nervous.

Let's see who will win.

And now, on with the announcement.

With 64%, a total of 24,568 votes

The 2006 Music Awards Grand Prize

The Grand Prize goes to.

The masked mystery singer, Bong-Feel

Here's your trophy and flowers.

Again, please, a round of applause

Congratulation.

Oh, don't you fret, now

II get you an autograph, of course

But he's just so busy. Yes, thank you

Oh, welcome You remember my boy

My boy carried a mighty tune
since he was born

Jesus, I'm gonna suffocate in this

THE MASKED IMPERSONATOR
BONG-PEEL

Seo-Yeon

The only thought in my head

is that I can't cross this bridge.

With heavy steps, I cross to that side.

I turn again and again

to see you there,

but like a fool, I can't even stop you.

At the ends of this bridge,

we call out to each other,

but we're just too far apart

to hear our love

Just crumble apart, instead

So we can never meet again.

It breaks my heart to think of

our hopeless love.

Just crumble apart, instead

Sir We've hit the jackpot

Mr.CHO/Yes, sir

I told you he was the one / Yes, sir.

How's the show? /Oh, Seo-Yeon

Good, you're here

Now, we need to get you an album.

Oh, don't kid around, sir.

How about me, sir? Me.

Our love,

stuck on this bridge.

Sir, what is Trot?

Well, what's Rock?

It's the heart.

Then Trot, my boy,

is the soul

This song that I sing,

it's not Trot,

and it's not Rock.

It's just a song that people like

and a song that I love.

My music

Sir, II win next year with your song.

That's groovy, Tae-Song

One more time

Thank you, sir.
