(The 1995 MBC Seoul Song Festival is back.)
(The preliminary rounds took them back to the 90s.)
(A group of undeniable talent has gathered.)
(Shouting)
(Must we keep watching?)
(After the make-up rounds, all-or-nothing battles...)
(I'll qualify him.)
(I'll qualify him.)
(The 18 voices chosen by the 1995 MBC Seoul Song Festival)
(The identities of the qualified participants...)
(will finally be revealed.)
(The MBC Seoul Song Festival Organization Committee)
(After the preliminary rounds,)
(the lights come on in the conference room once again.)
Come on in.
(Off to a loud, excited start)
(The MBC Seoul Song Festival Organization Committee)
Oh, my.
All of them belong to Writer Ha.
- That's... - Is everyone here?
(He seems quite excited too.)
Is everyone here?
Are you the character from the movie "300"?
You might have to tilt your head to the side.
- To the side, you know? - My head does feel a bit heavy.
Let me say something before Director Yu comes in.
- Okay. - You guys didn't do much.
What? What are you talking about?
We're not here to have fun.
- This is... - What have you contributed so far?
Did you invite singers? What did you do?
You only guessed their identities.
I put in the videotapes.
I was the one who did that.
Listen. You know that Director Yu is full of himself, right?
- He's what? - What?
He's so arrogant now.
- Director Yu? - Yes.
He's full of himself indeed.
- He's a famous director now. - That happens.
It's crazy.
Do you know what time it is?
Have some snacks.
- Gosh, you're here. - You're here.
- Director Yu. - Hello, sir.
- Hello, sir. - Wait.
Did you check the time?
- It's 10:50am. - He came 10 minutes early.
- Right? - We were supposed to meet at 11am.
- I came 10 minutes early. - He's 10 minutes early.
- I hate you guys. - I came ten minutes early.
- Why are you yelling at me? - I know, right?
- Okay. - Are you an assistant director?
Aren't you a writer?
- I am. - Aren't you one of us?
- Don't you write? - I am.
I do. But when I get lost, I just...
- What? - What?
- What did you say? - What was that?
If I need to improve, I'll improve then.
- Hold on. You know what? - What?
- Guys. - What?
He's the newest writer.
- Right. I just joined the team. - He still...
- He hasn't been with us for long. - Gosh.
- I'm getting sweaty again. - What's going on between you two?
- He's just not used to the team. - I...
- You always take his side. - Are you trying to butter him up?
I'm not taking anyone's side. He's my writer. Aren't you a writer?
His jokes are never funny. But you always laugh at them.
That's not true. At least one of his jokes was funny. No?
- At least 1 out of 10. - That's right.
- One good joke per episode. - Yes.
- You overachievers. - Listen.
At least 1 out of 10 jokes is funny. Why did you say "never"?
- Okay. I'm sorry about that. - That was quite mean.
- Come on. - Writer Ha.
- You always mentioned gukbap. - Yes.
- So you can gulp everything down? - You released a new song.
- That's right. - You did what?
- I released a song, "Gukbap." - Yes.
- It's a song. - But his song...
- How should I put it? - It's a song?
I think you wanted to make the audience emotional with this.
- It'll be my last song. - He's going to do this later.
"When you guys..."
(Channelling Singer Ha)
"run into me on the street,"
"I'll treat you to a warm bowl of gukbap."
"Make some noise."
- That's just crazy. - I want them to succeed.
By the way, what are we doing today?
- You don't know what we're doing? - I don't.
We're going to meet the qualified participants...
- who will perform at the finals. - Really?
- We're meeting 18 participants. - It's 18 participants.
Eighteen participants will join us today.
I would like to thank all the participants...
- once again. - Thank you.
Starting with the 1995 MBC Seoul Song Festival,
we'll try a new system that's called the Ombudsman.
Actually, in the early 90s...
To be precise, it was September 1993.
This system was launched for the first time.
- It was called the TV Ombudsman. - Ombudsman.
(Ombudsman Program)
(An ombudsman is an investigator who looks into complaints.)
(It's a feedback program dedicated to hearing viewers' opinions.)
In order to find out what your demands are...
regarding music programs,
I'm out on a lively street in Myeong-dong.
What kind of music programs would you like to watch on TV?
Do you like shows like "Inkigayo"?
Yes, I do.
Could you tell me why?
- I just like it. Yes. - You just like it.
- I like Seo Tai Ji. - Seo Tai Ji.
- Their songs. - Yes. Singers like Seo Tai Ji.
Songs like... Our meeting
- Songs like that. - I see.
Those songs are nice. They're classic.
Their performances aren't so chaotic.
Through this system,
we've received feedback from the viewers.
What's the overall feedback, Writer Ha?
- I got the feedback. - You did?
Our ombudsmen are angry.
- They can't be angry. - Okay.
- Only men can do it? - Listen.
- They're angry... - He doesn't know what it is.
at "X-Man" and "Running Man."
- You got it wrong. - Okay.
- It's not a real person. - Okay.
All right. The overall feedback said they enjoyed the show.
- Go on. - But some were disappointed.
- Why? - That was also the feedback we got.
This was their biggest complaint.
I pointed this out.
Some of them were disappointed...
because there weren't any group performances.
- That was the feedback. - They all performed independently.
- Right. - Yes.
- We can get started on that. - That's right.
As I mentioned at the beginning of the program,
the 90s marked a true renaissance for the music world.
We saw a wide variety of genres...
- and a diverse group of singers... - Everyone was so good.
actively performed during this era.
There were many groups in this era.
Seo Tai Ji and Boys.
- Chuli and Miae. - Noise.
- R.ef. Chuli and Miae. - Deux.
Solid.
- Hanging onto the end of the night - The end of the night
As for the group performances in the 1995 MBC Seoul Song Festival,
we should try to put together...
some groups with the participants.
- That's right. - Yes.
Let's go and meet the participants now.
Should we get going?
- Let's have a great festival. - Okay.
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
- Let's go. - Let's go. We got this.
(Heading out with excitement to meet the qualified participants)
My gosh. This is...
(Entering a dark place)
- Oh, my. - Gosh, what a nice stage.
They upgraded the stage.
This is insane.
(A charming stage unfolds before them.)
Doesn't it look like a theater in Daehangno?
- Right. It's like a small theater. - Right, a small theater.
"Yeongsimi." "Chungking Express."
- My gosh. I want to take pictures. - Yes.
(Welcome to the 90s Cinema Town.)
(The old-school theater where performances will come to life)
(Even the prices are straight out of the 90s.)
- My gosh. Seriously. - It's like watching a play.
- They did a great job with this. - They made the stage look amazing.
We're now going to meet the participants...
who will perform at the finals of the 1995 MBC Seoul Song Festival.
The participants formed trios like the previous festival.
Let's check out their performances.
We searched high and low to find the best voices of the 90s.
Let's meet our singers.
- I'm getting nervous for them. - Yes.
- Let's head over now. - Okay.
Oh, my!
We got this.
(The qualified participants are heading over.)
(Ticket Office, Price Table)
(Waiting to be revealed...)
(are the 18 admission tickets.)
(Here's the very first performance on stage.)
(Chungking Express, Yeongsimi, The Bridges of Madison County)
(Chungking Express has a voiceprint deeper than classic sweet coffee.)
(Yeongsimi has a bright voice that really pops.)
(Yeongsimi has a bright voice that really pops.)
(The Bridges of Madison County has a reliable, soulful voice.)
(The Bridges of Madison County has a reliable, soulful voice.)
- Oh, my. - My gosh.
- My goodness. The three of them... - Daehangno...
(They're nervously waiting to perform.)
This is going to be fun.
Here's the first performance.
They'll sing "Yeowuya" by The Classic.
Its English title is...
"Lady in the Rainy Night."
- "Yeo" means rain. - That's right.
("Lady in the Rainy Night," released in 1995)
(It's a track from the 2nd album of The Classic.)
(Its upbeat and cheerful melody and sorrowful lyrics...)
(captured the public's heart.)
- I haven't heard this in a while. - It's such a classic.
(Anticipating)
Oh, my. They must be so nervous.
(The trio steps onto the stage to the sound of falling rain.)
They're coming out. I can see their silhouettes.
I can see them too.
("Lady in the Rainy Night")
(By Chungking Express, Yeongsimi, The Bridges of Madison County)
Hello.
(It's nice to meet you.)
(Ticket Office, Price Table)
(Screening Schedule, Now Playing, Next Up)
(Excitement and nervousness are present in this moment.)
(Swaying gently)
(Grooving)
(Playing an air guitar)
(They focus on the first performance as they dance to the rhythm.)
- There he is. - You're here!
(Capturing the intro with his unique voice)
(I can't see you)
- Oh, I know who it is. - He's here too.
(Here's another singer with a unique voice.)
My gosh, he's good.
(There's no one to hear me out, into the rain)
(Vocalizing)
(They go)
(I'm calling out your name)
- Hey, I love this combo! - Me too.
- They can just perform as a team. - They're a team.
(After a long, sleepless night)
(Dawn is already breaking)
(In the rain)
They're stepping out!
(Their identities will finally be revealed!)
(Kim Min Seok, The Bridges of Madison County)
(The singer with a sweet, romantic voice)
It's Min Seok.
(Choi Ye Na, Yeongsimi, the singer with a clear, pure voice)
(Bowing)
(10cm, Chungking Express)
(The singer with a sweet, silky voice)
This is a strong combo. Isn't it?
(Vocalizing)
(They go)
(I'm calling out your name)
They're so good.
(In the rain)
Hey!
(Asking them to dance on the spot)
(Flustered)
- What? - He's doing it because she asked.
He's good.
- Dance time! - My gosh.
(Encouraging Min Seok to do the Catch Catch Dance)
(Perfectly copying it)
The 90s...
These are nice guys.
They're so sweet.
Gosh, I love it.
(Into the rain)
(Vocalizing)
(They go)
(I'm calling out your name)
(But I know that it won't reach you)
(Scatting)
(Ad-libbing harmoniously together)
(Scatting)
(The harmony of the three singers fills the stage.)
The three of them practised a lot together.
(Scatting)
(The first performance kept them smiling from start to finish.)
Hey, that was crazy!
- Gosh. - All right.
Here are Jung Yeol, Ye Na, and Min Seok.
Hello.
- Oh, my. That was great. - Gosh.
(Walking down to the seats after the performance)
We're starting with a strong trio.
Your voice is so recognizable.
If they were a real team,
- it'd be a team of crazy talent. - Hello.
My gosh.
- It's been a while, Jung Yeol. - Yes. Gosh.
(Coming out to welcome them)
Let's sit down.
My gosh. That was just insane. Seriously.
- Please sit down. - Okay.
(10cm, Kim Min Seok, and Choi Ye Na)
- Gosh, they're such a strong trio. - Well,
the three of you sang "Lady in the Rainy Night."
As for Ye Na, with her popular song,
- "Catch Catch," - Right.
she's one of the standout singers who took 2026 by storm.
At first, we didn't recognise your voice.
- Right. - We weren't sure.
- Really? - Yes.
Actually, I was curious if people would recognise my voice.
A lot of my friends...
- asked me if I was Yeongsimi. - Right.
- To be honest, we were confused. - We were confused.
I tried to hide my voice on purpose when I sang.
I tried my best not to sound like myself.
Actually, I thought no one would recognise my voice.
- Come on. How could we not? - I'm serious.
- It was so obvious. - Actually, my friends...
didn't even ask me.
- They knew it had to be you. - It was so obvious.
- Really? - It was so obvious.
- No one asked me either. - Really?
- The two of them... - Because...
everyone could recognise your voices.
It's been a long time...
since I last filmed with Jung Yeol.
- Haha and I met him... - Right.
- on "Infinite Challenge." - "Sticky Rice Cake."
- That's right. Yes. - We were 10cm and Haha.
- Hasn't it been ten years? - It's already been that long?
- It's been over 10 years. - Yes. It was 15 years ago.
- My gosh. - Fifteen years?
(They sang the song together 15 years ago.)
- You're my sticky rice cake - Sticky rice cake
- You can't sing it without him. - Exactly.
He can sing the whole thing by himself.
(He can sing the whole thing by himself.)
- I recently sang it by myself. - That's...
- Really? You did? - Yes. At my concert.
Yes. It's easier that way.
- Me too. I sang it by myself too. - It was easier?
Same here. It was much easier.
- It was easier? - The students...
- Haha seems disappointed. - And...
when you think of the 90s, what kind of vibe do you get?
Actually, I know a lot of songs from the 90s, and I love them.
- Really? - Is that so?
Growing up,
my family used to put aside time no matter how busy we were...
to go to karaoke at least once a week.
(Her family often went to karaoke.)
- Then... - What's your go-to karaoke song?
My father and mother would always sing this song together.
It's "One and a Half."
("One and a Half" by Two Two)
- The half dance. - It's
- The famous dance. - Oh, this?
- Yes. - That's...
- Someone has to sing this song... - Like this.
- at the finals. - That's right.
- We've been saving this song. - We're saving it.
- How old are your parents? - The song...
They were born in 1972.
- My gosh. - They're the same age as him.
- They're the same age as you. - This is cutting it close.
- Ye Na is... - No.
- as old as my friends' daughter. - Right.
She's as old as my friends' daughter.
- You must know a lot of old songs. - Your friends' daughter.
I love old songs.
Actually, "Catch Catch" was inspired...
by the old-school vibes. And the older singers...
had this fun singing style.
- Could you give us an example? - They have a distinctive style.
Before this moment
I thought she was cursing.
- That's it. - She got me.
- They have a unique style. - She's good.
- Before this moment ends - Before this moment ends
- That's the style. - Yes, it's fun.
- I'd rather - Yes.
- They'd exaggerate it. - That's great.
You guys sang "Lady in the Rainy Night" together.
- Yes. - I thought you guys would make...
- a great group together. - Right.
- They're so good together. - You guys were that great together.
- This is such a strong combo. - I'm not sure...
if the others would have great teamwork like us.
- Great. Of course, but... - I love my team.
Would you be open to performing as a team?
- I'd love it. - They would be a strong team.
I'm already excited to see them...
perform as a group together.
(The next team is waiting in the back.)
- We're the second group, right? - Yes, we are.
Oh, my gosh.
We can do this. We totally got this.
I'm counting on you guys.
Let's do this.
(Excitement blooming amidst tension)
You're joining us at the finals...
of the 1995 MBC Seoul Song Festival.
The next performance is...
by M, Love is in Your Embrace, and Terminator.
The three of them will perform together.
(M has a punchy vocal tone that carries the rhythm perfectly.)
(M has a punchy vocal tone that carries the rhythm perfectly.)
(Love is in Your Embrace is a rock vocalist with a soulful voice.)
(Terminator can hit the high notes with solid stability.)
You can't discuss the 90s without mentioning this song.
It's "I Don't Stop" by ZAM.
The song goes like this, right?
- I'll start over - That's the one.
- From scratch - Yoon Hyun Suk.
("I Don't Stop," released in 1993)
(It was the debut song and hit song of ZAM, the origin...)
(of the mixed-gender idol groups in the early 90s.)
(Their powerful choreography was very popular among teenagers.)
(It won 1st place on "Top 10 Songs.")
The notes in this song are quite high.
- Right. - Yes.
- Old dance songs have high notes. - Yes, that's right. All right.
Let's welcome them with a big round of applause.
(Looking forward to the second performance)
- Will they dance to the song? - My gosh. They are...
(The stage lights are turned off.)
- What? - Gosh.
- The stage is spinning. - Be quiet.
(Surprised)
- The stage is spinning. - Be quiet.
- What? - They spent a lot of money on this.
- Maybe too much. No? - No way.
(The stage has left them stunned. How does the stage look?)
(The stage lights are turned off.)
- What? - Gosh.
- The stage is spinning. - Be quiet.
(Surprised)
- The stage is spinning. - Be quiet.
- What? - They spent a lot of money on this.
- Maybe too much. No? - No way.
You see this kind of transition in real plays or musicals.
They spent a lot of money on this!
This is crazy.
(The romantic theater...)
(turns into a rock cafe in no time.)
It's a rock cafe.
This is just crazy.
- It's a rock cafe. - They did a great job with this.
Back then, rock cafes were at their peak.
Let's welcome them...
- with a big round of applause. - Okay!
(Invited to a rock cafe in the 90s)
(What song will play at the rock cafe?)
("I Don't Stop" by M, Love is in Your Embrace, and Terminator)
(The rhythm is exciting from the start.)
They have this type of microphone.
- Are they going to dance? - They have this type of microphone.
(Powerful dancing)
- Who are they? - Who is that?
Who is that in the middle?
I like her vibe.
(Perfectly in sync)
(Vocalizing)
(Vocalizing)
(I also regret)
(Vocalizing)
(Vocalizing)
(I'm not who I used to be)
(Vocalizing)
(Vocalizing)
(We can't blame ourselves)
That's right.
(We can't end things here)
(Not like this)
(We can't stop now)
(Shouting)
(A stage fuelled by unstoppable passion)
(This way, that way)
I wonder who they are.
(A full-bodied voice, Terminator Yoo Young Woo)
(Vocalizing)
(Vocalizing)
(A charming voice, M MINAMI)
(A hidden singing talent, Love is in Your Embrace Kwak Beom)
I knew he'd come out.
(A hidden singing talent, Love is in Your Embrace Kwak Beom)
(Exclaiming)
As expected, her moves are...
- They're different. - different.
(Sharp, synchronized moves like an idol singer)
How are they doing that?
That looks great.
MINAMI is on another level.
(Working hard)
She dances so well.
(I can't...)
(stop here)
(I can't stop)
That's great.
(Let's start again)
(Vocalizing)
(His unique punching gestures unleash soaring high notes.)
(MINAMI's sweet voice gets added on top of that.)
(All together now)
(Let's start again)
(A performance by three singers who refuse to stop)
That was amazing.
(Bravo)
That was great.
Let's go, Home Alone!
Let's go, thief.
- "Let's go, Home Alone." - Yes.
Please give them a round of applause.
("I Don't Stop" by Yoo Young Woo, MINAMI, and Kwak Beom)
(M MINAMI, Love is in Your Embrace Kwak Beom, Terminator Yoo Young Woo)
Here are Yoo Young Woo, MINAMI, and Kwak Beom.
(The three qualified participants presented a powerful performance.)
- That was so amazing. - Right.
Beom, I'm sorry to ask,
but when will you stop sweating?
Please tell me.
He's wiping away sweat with his beanie.
Beom is sweating a lot.
When Beom came out, I thought that...
his hand holding the microphone...
- looked familiar. - Right.
Later, I realised that it was Kwak Beom.
It was Beom's hand.
- With short and stubby fingers? - Exactly.
- This hand. - Right.
A lot of people actually guessed Beom just from the silhouette.
He was such a good singer...
that I wondered, "Is that really Kwak Beom?"
A few people suspected that I was Chef Yun Nam No.
(The silhouette looks like Yun Nam No.)
- Your profile... - Some people were confused.
- They thought I was Yun Nam No... - It's easy to get confused.
because of my silhouette.
M turns out to be MINAMI.
I actually didn't know that it was MINAMI.
(A member of RESCENE...)
(with one of the remarkable reverse-chart success stories)
(The star behind "Geoje, yaho!" that took social media by storm)
(Dominating the charts once again with their comeback)
(MINAMI of RESCENE, a rising star in the industry)
- Seriously... - Thank you.
The members of your group knew about it, right?
I told them about it.
- Did you? - Yes.
The senior artists are reacting because I told them...
- who I was in the group chat. - Did you?
- Yes. - I didn't know it was you.
- I didn't know it was Ye Na either. - Right.
- Really? - The same for MINAMI.
I could tell that both of you had an idol-like vibe.
You were good at dancing.
Young Woo, as soon as we heard your voice,
- We knew right away. - we recognised you immediately.
- You're so good. - Thank you.
You know his unique vibration, right?
We recognised you from your ad-lib.
(He's a comedian by profession.)
(A singing talent so incredible that you forget he's a comedian)
(Yoo Young Woo, a hidden musical talent stolen by the comedy world)
Young Woo is so talented that viewers can hardly tell...
whether he's a singer...
- He's a singer. - or a comedian.
They even get confused.
Recently, he performed with Hye Won.
That's right.
I was really surprised.
He was amazing.
These days, many comedians are making the transition...
- into music. - Right.
Instead of comedians,
- they call themselves gamedians. - "Gamedians?"
- That's the title. - "Gamedian" sounds good.
- "Gamedian." - It used to be "gae singer."
- "Gamedian" sounds nice. - "Gamedian" sounds good.
- It sounds more impressive. - I am Korea's very first gamedian.
(Yoo Young Woo, the 1st gamedian in Korea)
Beom and Young Woo are...
- both comedians. - Yes.
You worked on a show together in the past.
- In the past, - Right.
we worked together on "Gag Concert."
- Exactly. - Yes.
It was a place I couldn't get into.
But Beom gave me...
the chance to audition,
and that's how I made my debut.
- That's amazing. - Gosh, Beom.
As I had Kyeong Hwan...
- on my side... - The connection continues.
- We call that a legacy. - I was that person for Young Woo.
(3 generations of comedy connections)
The three of them watched the performance video...
and practised really hard.
- Yes. - Despite very little time...
Right, we watched the choreography together...
and focused on making...
- That's impressive. - every move bigger.
While watching it on a big screen,
- we practised a lot. - So you practised a lot.
Let's do it together while facing the mirror.
While facing the mirror?
Shall we start from "hoo"?
Hoo, one, two.
(Diligent)
(I forgot.)
(Beom misses a beat.)
To make sure we got it,
let's watch the video.
(They watch the video to capture the feel of the original dance.)
This is the actual live performance footage.
Yes.
If we open this up...
Ta-da.
It's much easier to see when it unfolds.
Isn't it more comfortable?
If you aren't confident with dancing, watching it this way...
- makes it much easier to learn. - You should see it enlarged.
Shall we run through the dance break?
- That sounds good. - Let's do a quick version.
- Two. - Five, six, seven, eight.
(One more practice session after watching the video)
(Perfectly...)
(in sync)
- One, two, three, four. - Two, three.
(The choreography flows smoothly without a mistake.)
One, two, three.
(I still have)
(Time)
(Riding on the momentum, they practice the harmonies.)
- We even practised the harmonies. - We did.
It's time to move.
- I'm sorry. - I think we got it.
- We got it. - I think we got it.
- It means that we got it. - We got it. Let's go.
- We got it. - Don't worry about a thing.
- Let's go. - The three of us watched...
the original performance and practised a lot.
- It was perfect. - That was great.
Right.
I'm not joking about this.
MINAMI is better at speaking Korean than Kyeong Hwan.
- Seriously. - I'm serious.
- Are you abandoning him? - Who's Kyeong Hwan?
- Did you abandon him? - You'd better step up your game.
Please talk.
MINAMI is...
- I'm sorry. - Seriously...
Among all the entertainers...
I know,
- MINAMI speaks very well. - So...
She's better than most Koreans I know.
- She's really good. - Thank you.
MINAMI.
Can you teach me how to speak Korean so well?
- What I am saying... - Give him some tips.
- Give him some tips? - Yes, give him some tips.
The most important thing is...
- not to get intimidated. - Don't get intimidated.
- You get scared easily. - Did you tell her...
that I get scared easily?
Our next performers.
The next stage features people...
who will tug at our heartstrings.
Ghost, Jealousy,
- and Moon of Seoul. - My goodness.
(Ghost moved us with a deeply soulful performance.)
(Ghost moved us with a deeply soulful performance.)
(Jealousy charms with fresh, youthful vocals.)
(Jealousy charms with fresh, youthful vocals.)
(Moon of Seoul's voice captures the nostalgia of the 90s.)
(Moon of Seoul's voice captures the nostalgia of the 90s.)
I haven't heard this in a very long time.
- By 015B... - "Very Old Couples"?
(Singing)
("Very Old Couples" from 1992)
(A track from 015B's 3rd full-length album)
(Featuring an upbeat rhythm and a lively diva house sound)
(Its unusually long intro lasted nearly 1 minute and 20 seconds.)
(It portrays the emotional indifference...)
(of couples in long-term relationships.)
(The lyrics depict a relationship going through a rough patch.)
Considering it was released in 1992,
- the lyrics were groundbreaking. - Right.
How could they put a story like this into a song?
- It was so real. - Exactly.
- Lyrics were more abstract. - In those days,
it was all about dying for love.
When a relationship gets long,
each person is thinking about it,
but talking openly about it was...
- considered impolite. - Right.
It was a time when people didn't talk...
- Hold on. - about it in a song.
MINAMI, do you know what a relationship slump is?
A relationship slump? Of course I do.
- Gosh, - I know what it is.
she knows everything.
- She's very good. - He pronounced the word...
unclearly.
She was accurate.
- I lost again. - MINAMI said it clearly.
"A relationship slump? Of course I do."
"Do you know what a relationship slump is?"
"A relationship slump."
- It's not "beondegi." - You didn't mean "beondegi," right?
(Kyeong Hwan gets nervous again in front of his native language.)
- That's not it. - She's very good at Korean.
Let's give these three performers a round of applause...
- and welcome them. - Will it turn again?
(Anticipating)
Will the stage turn?
(The lights in the audience begin to fade.)
- It's turning. - Is it turning again?
- It's turning. - My goodness.
Gosh, how many stages are there?
(What kind of performance are we about to witness this time?)
- What is it? - My gosh.
- Hold on. - What is she doing?
- There's someone on stage. - What?
Seriously?
("Very Old Couples" by Ghost, Jealousy, and Moon of Seoul)
("Very Old Couples" by Ghost, Jealousy, and Moon of Seoul)
- He's late. - Oh, no.
- He's late. - There's not enough time.
(The long intro paints a couple who have been together for years.)
- Give me just one more chance. - One more chance.
(The realistic acting gets them immersed in the story.)
She's not happy.
That's so cute.
(Moving to the rhythm)
Nice. The stage direction is fantastic.
She's upset.
Don't go.
There's someone over there.
(One by one, the main characters begin to appear.)
He looks very excited.
I can't tell who it is.
(Keeping their identities hidden, they start swaying to the rhythm.)
Yes.
Yes.
(Carefully)
Who is it?
(A performance by three men experiencing a relationship slump)
I forgot the intro was this long.
- Was it this long? - This is extremely long.
Is it starting now?
- One. Seven, eight. - Two.
(Moon of Seoul)
That's perfect.
- Goodness. - It's insane.
They're good.
Let's go.
They're good.
(Singing)
- All right. - Here they come.
Their identities will be...
revealed now.
It's him.
(A sweet voice that draws you in, Ghost John Park)
This is insane.
It's DOHOON.
- It's DOHOON. - Gosh, it's DOHOON.
He looks handsome.
(In love)
He looks handsome.
(A singer with a distinctive voice, Moon of Seoul Roy Kim)
(Vocalizing)
(The boredom we once felt)
(Will be a thing...)
(of the past)
(Ta-da)
- His moves are sharper. - Seriously.
- His moves are sharp. - His style is on another level.
(All together now)
(Dance time)
- What? - DOHOON.
(Working hard)
John Park.
- John Park. - He's old-fashioned.
Roy.
(Let's go)
(The audience and performers...)
(unite through dance.)
(That feeling we had when we first met)
(If you're looking to recapture that excitement)
(Perfect harmony created by the chemistry of the three singers)
(Vocalizing)
("Very Old Couples" by John Park, DOHOON, and Roy Kim)
- Well done. - Yes.
That was Roy Kim, DOHOON,
- You're amazing. - and John Park.
Please come this way.
- They're good. - They're great.
(Ghost, Jealousy, Moon of Seoul)
(John Park, DOHOON, Roy Kim)
The three of you absolutely nailed this song.
The opening of "Very Old Couples" is...
- very important. - That's right.
- Roy took charge from the start. - Thank you.
It was very refreshing.
Your voice was incredibly steady.
(The moment he sang the first line,)
(the audience erupted in cheers.)
(Gaping)
(The audience buzzed with admiration.)
- The original song has... - Right.
- a slightly... - Oily?
oily and cheesy vibe.
I tried my best to capture the same.
DOHOON, we didn't recognise you at first.
- We didn't. - Right. DOHOON.
(TWS, a refreshing boy group overflowing with youthful charm)
(A flawless all-round center)
(Proving his popularity with the playful Angtal Dance Challenge)
(LIZ of IVE, KARINA of aespa, and Writer Joo?)
(The ultimate authority on cuteness)
(Showing off a whole new charm with the youthful spirit)
DOHOON must have learned about the 90s...
through YouTube and old videos.
- That's right. - Yes.
This song festival covers...
- music from 1990 to 1995. - Right.
But I know quite a lot of songs from around 1998.
- And so... - From the late 90s?
- Yes. - Music groups?
- I've been listening to... - Right.
and experiencing a lot of music from that era.
- As for John Park, - Yes.
- his voice is... - John Park.
As soon as he appeared...
- There was no way to hide it. - Of course not.
Did you try to disguise your voice?
- I tried a little. - Okay.
But eventually, the director said,
"Just sing naturally."
- "Just sing naturally?" - He said it'd be obvious anyway.
To our ears, it sounds the same.
- He said that it'd be obvious. - Right.
These days, John Park has been carrying...
- cassette tapes on his shoulder... - He raps.
- and going around rapping. - He's a rapper.
- He's good at rapping too. - That's right.
John Park is really open to trying new things.
(The 5th generation of hip-hop is kicking off.)
(John Park delivered the verse of his life.)
(The opening from John Park was unbelievable.)
(He even took over commercials with his rap video.)
You're open to everything.
I've always loved hip-hop...
- since I was a child. - You even did hip-hop.
- Yes. - This is a different genre,
but I feel like you can pull off being a street performer.
What do you mean?
- A street performer? - It's a commercial...
I don't think he understands things that he doesn't want to do.
My Korean isn't as good as MINAMI's.
MINAMI is so good at it.
- I can't understand. - MINAMI is very good at Korean.
- I know. - Her Korean skills are excellent.
- She's very good. - MINAMI is.
The same goes for John Park.
How familiar are you with music from the 90s?
Actually, I...
Interestingly, I'm similar to DOHOON.
I was in elementary school in 1998,
so I know quite a bit of music from that time.
Anything before that is quite unfamiliar to me.
From our perspective, you fit right in.
- Really? Do I? - Even from the back,
you look like the image of a father...
- we remember from the 90s. - A father.
- I see. - Is that a compliment or not?
It's a compliment.
- It's a good thing. - You look like a father.
- That's a good thing. - You're a father.
- You're actually a father. - That's right.
- Yes. - You'd better be careful...
Whenever John Park doesn't like a situation,
he pretends not to hear.
- This guy... - That's exactly like my dad.
This guy has become quite the sly fox.
He's become the sly fox.
- What? - A traditional street performer...
- He's pretending again. - Goodness.
He's pretending not to hear.
Should we speak in English?
- Gosh, John Park. - He pretends not to know...
- "street performer." - Gosh.
It's not easy for them to get in sync...
- in such a short time. - Right.
- It was fun, though. - Yes.
It's not easy.
Next up...
is The Last Match, Sleepless in Seattle, and Leon.
(There's just something about The Last Match's voice.)
(Once you're hooked on Sleepless in Seattle's voice,)
(you'll be up all night.)
(Leon has a powerful voice.)
(Leon has a powerful voice.)
They're going to sing "About Romance" by Choi Baek Ho.
- This is crazy. - I love that song.
The 90s definitely had a much wider variety of music genres.
A character in a weekend drama...
called "Men of the Bathhouse" sang this song.
And it became a hit.
(It became famous as Jang Yong's signature song in the drama.)
This song is still loved to this day.
("About Romance" was written and composed by Choi Baek Ho,)
(and later won the Best Lyricist Award at the KBS Music Awards.)
(The song gained even more popularity...)
(after Jang Yong sang it in "Men of the Bathhouse.")
- Let's welcome these three. - Yes.
- Oh, gosh. - They'll sound amazing.
You need to bring out the emotion.
This song is so romantic.
It's a difficult song.
Yes. It's difficult.
- It's a difficult song to pull off. - Yes.
The pronunciation of "saxophone"...
- is important in this song. - True.
(Meanwhile, the three of them are about to sing a difficult song.)
I'm nervous.
- Right? - I feel nervous here.
Take a deep breath.
A deep breath.
(They take a deep breath to relax.)
- Let's do this. We got this! - We got this!
- They changed the set. - Oh, my.
(The stage rotates again.)
It's like a scene from a movie.
("About Romance" by The Last Match, Sleepless in Seattle, and Leon)
- Amazing. - Oh, gosh.
This is crazy.
They're sitting down.
(The performers are sitting this time.)
(What kind of romance will they be singing about?)
("About Romance" by The Last Match, Sleepless in Seattle, and Leon)
- Amazing. - Oh, gosh.
This is crazy.
They're sitting down.
(The performers are sitting this time.)
(What kind of romance will they be singing about?)
(The familiar intro gets them excited.)
- What? - What?
Who is it?
(His raspy voice adds even more emotion.)
(Listen to that rich saxophone)
(Listen to that rich saxophone)
He's good.
(About what my heart)
(Has lost)
That was crazy.
You're doing amazing.
They're so good.
Please reveal your identity.
(Who are these three who perfectly captured the nostalgia?)
I can't wait.
(I can't wait.)
- They're coming out. - Oh, gosh.
Jung Eun Ji.
She sounds good.
(Listen to that sorrowful sound of the ship's horn)
- She's good. - She sounds great.
(Lee Seon Min, The Last Match, has got a voice as big as his build.)
Uncle!
He sounds so good.
(Ko Kyoung Pyo, Sleepless in Seattle,)
(has a charming, raspy voice.)
- He's good. - Kyoung Pyo is good.
(About what will never)
(Return to my heart)
(About romance)
- Oh, my gosh. - Well done.
You guys are amazing.
(A stage filled with three distinct shades of romance)
- Well done. - You guys are awesome.
("About Romance" by Ko Kyoung Pyo, Jung Eun Ji, and Lee Seon Min)
Good job.
You guys rock!
("About Romance" by Ko Kyoung Pyo, Jung Eun Ji, and Lee Seon Min)
(Lee Seon Min, Ko Kyoung Pyo, and Jung Eun Ji)
- Yes. - They sound good.
Ko Kyoung Pyo, Jung Eun Ji, and Lee Seon Min, everybody.
(The three qualified participants are joining them.)
Uncle, why do you look even bigger than last week?
What are you talking about? I didn't gain weight.
Before they started singing, we said...
- it wasn't an easy song. - It's a difficult song to pull off.
- It's not easy. - Actually...
I didn't know Kyoung Pyo...
- He sang the intro. - was this good.
- I thought it was The One. - He sounded amazing.
Roy Kim said, "I thought he was a singer."
- I really thought he was a singer. - Thank you.
- It's not easy to sing the intro. - It's definitely not easy.
In the preliminary round, Kyoung Pyo sang...
- "My Love by My Side." - Yes.
It has over two million views.
- Yes. - I'm flattered.
Quite a lot of people know Kyoung Pyo can sing.
There were lots of comments saying he was an amazing singer.
Yes. It made me so happy.
That's the power of the song. The original song itself is so good.
- Kyoung Pyo hid his voice, - Yes.
but he couldn't hide his silhouette.
Right.
- I saw that knuckle-less fist. - "Knuckle-less fist."
- His knuckle-less fist. - Yes.
You can barely see my knuckles.
I recognised your chin too.
- Yes. - My chin.
I'm not filming anything, so I haven't lost any weight yet.
He's not filming anything.
People think I sing with my double chin, but I don't.
"Sing with my double chin."
- "Sing with my double chin." - He doesn't.
It's just fat.
Seon Min surprised me too.
(Seon Min surprised me too!)
(Listen to that rich saxophone)
That "saxophone."
I tried my best to pronounce it properly.
He's good.
Seon Min was the only one Writer Heo disqualified...
because he couldn't hold his notes steadily at the end of each phrase.
That's right.
And he nailed...
the very thing I criticised him for today.
- You did a great job. - Thank you.
You're qualified.
Just now? Only now?
You already hurt me.
You're qualified in my heart.
Are you happy now?
(Good!)
Eun Ji sang...
- "The First Poem." - Yes.
She sang the song seven keys higher.
Really?
(The low notes were amazing. But the high notes gave me chills.)
(I got chills listening to her sing. I haven't felt this way in a while.)
(Gosh, Eun Ji was made for 90s music!)
("The First Poem" by Jung Eun Ji is so good.)
- Really? - And she still sang it with ease.
I wish I could sing like her.
- I wanted to sing even higher, - Okay.
but I caught a cold.
You sang it seven keys higher even when you caught a cold?
I'm the main vocalist of Apink, after all.
(You can tell she's a seasoned singer.)
- The main vocalist is different. - Right.
Do you think she's good too, DOHOON?
- I have huge respect for her. - He acknowledges her.
(Thank you.)
- You sounded amazing together. - Yes.
We had fun even when we were practising.
Our captain guided us really well.
- Right. - Yes.
She helped us improve our singing technique.
- Hello. - You're here, Captain.
- Captain. - Please don't call me that.
- Please have a seat. - Have a seat.
If you gargle before singing,
it helps keep your throat hydrated, kind of like a humidifier.
(They immediately start gargling.)
(Gargling)
It's not easy to sing alone,
- but it's also very hard... - Yes.
to sing together after practising for a short time.
That's true. But they did such an amazing job.
And I've been performing in a group for years,
so I know how to make it work.
- I see. - Yes.
Next up is General Hospital,
Men of the Bathhouse,
and Shawshank Redemption.
(His soaring high notes cut through the full band sound.)
(His soaring high notes cut through the full band sound.)
(General Hospital's voice sends chills down your spine.)
(A musical brought to life by his heart-fluttering voice)
(Men of the Bathhouse left us with a lovely sense of warmth.)
(A deeply poignant voice with heartfelt longing)
(He sings with his chin.)
(Shawshank Redemption left us with an impression we couldn't shake.)
They're going to sing "Heung Bo" by Yukgaksu.
("Heung Bo" by Yukgaksu)
A lot of people are singing upbeat songs today.
They sing all kinds of genres.
(A traditional Korean music-inspired sound grabs your attention.)
("Heung Bo" is Yukgaksu's debut song,)
(which won both the Gold Award and the Popularity Award...)
(at the 1995 MBC Riverside Song Festival...)
(and won all three major music shows.)
(Combining rap and Eurodance with "Heungboga,")
(a traditional Korean pansori song,)
(the song pioneered a new genre known as Pansori Rap Dance,)
(making a refreshing impact on the Korean music industry at the time.)
(Lights on)
Gosh, it looks like the Korean Folk Village.
(Heung Bo's thatched-roof house is recreated on stage.)
It's a hanok.
Amazing.
I'm so excited about this.
("Heung Bo" written and composed by Jeong Heung Cheol)
- This is nice. - This is cool.
It looks sleek.
(Their silhouettes appear in the darkness.)
(All eyes are on them.)
(What kind of musical feast will unfold through their voices?)
- Come on! - Come on!
I like it.
(Energetic interjections)
These guys are...
(The mood takes a sudden turn with a powerful dance beat.)
(Heung Bo is dumbfounded)
That was great.
(Tell me where I should go, at least)
(You fool, do I have to tell you where you're supposed to go too?)
(Stop talking and get lost)
- He did it so well. - Oh, gosh.
That felt good.
(Heave-ho)
They're coming out.
(Who brought these lively, soulful melodies to life?)
(Vibrant, expressive vocals by General Hospital,)
(Nahzam Sue of Sultan of the Disco)
Sultan of the Disco.
Sue.
You sound amazing!
(Men of the Bathhouse, Lee Kyu Hyong, owns the stage.)
- Lee Kyu Hyong. - Oh, my.
(Heave)
(Heave-ho)
(Come on)
They're good.
(Their energy and teamwork were perfectly in sync.)
(He was put on hold, but he made it with his captivating voice.)
(Shawshank Redemption, Jung Il Young)
Professor!
(Happy to see him)
He's good. He sounds so good.
(Brother, I'm leaving)
He's good.
- They're doing great. - My gosh.
(Pointing)
(Shaking)
(Everyone is shaking their bodies.)
(Where)
(Shouting)
(His desperate vocals set him apart.)
(Heave-ho)
(Heung Bo is dumbfounded)
(A performance where they become one with the audience)
(Heung Bo is dumbfounded)
(The three of them made an amazing team on stage.)
("Heung Bo" by Nahzam Sue, Lee Kyu Hyong, and Jung Il Young)
Yeehaw!
They're good.
- I loved it! - They did a great job.
This is a true work of art.
Nahzam Sue of Sultan of the Disco,
Lee Kyu Hyong, and Professor Jung Il Young!
(Nahzam Sue, Lee Kyu Hyong, and Jung Il Young)
It's nice to see you.
Please have a seat here, Professor.
You look very stylish today.
- He looks so good. - Well...
I just wore what the stylist picked out for me.
He looks like an art professor.
(He's a French instructor and university professor...)
(with nearly 30 years of experience.)
(You should never let yourself be intimidated in France.)
(I don't want to talk to you anymore. Get the patron out here.)
That'll put them in their place.
(He quickly became a sensation with his sharp tongue.)
(Professor Jung Il Young is busy even outside the classroom.)
You've been very busy these days, right?
- Yes. - You're very popular as well.
I am.
(He makes a strong impression with just one word.)
By the way,
I really liked the songs the other teams sang earlier too,
but honestly, I was wondering how they would sing this song.
It's not easy to pull off.
- Right. You need to get that vibe. - True.
But the three of them...
- You got the vibe. - You nailed it.
I think we practised for about three hours here.
You did an amazing job.
I definitely told you during the blind audition...
that I was good at harmonizing.
- Why didn't you believe me? - I believed you.
Did you harmonize with them?
I sang the highest notes.
- You did? - Yes.
(Heave-ho)
(A striking voice stood out...)
(between their deep vocals.)
(He was layering the harmonies with his delicate high notes.)
You were really good at harmonizing.
I have perfect pitch.
- Really? - He was harmonizing angrily.
- Were you angry? - He was mad.
I can't believe all four of you...
- put me on hold! - You were an underdog.
- Sorry? - You guys put me on hold.
But you're here.
When did you get so angry?
(He suddenly just snapped out of nowhere.)
He looks so angry.
He's like Park Myung Soo, who studied a lot.
- He has a temper. - How charming.
- The way he talks... - He's just like him.
I told you. He's like Park Myung Soo but with a degree.
He's like Park Myung Soo but with a degree.
Nahzam Sue,
I'm sure this is your first time meeting Jung Il Young.
I wanted to get closer to him,
but I think I should think about it more.
You wanted to get closer before.
Yes. I think I can learn a lot from him, though.
I didn't know you would come...
- to our festival. - Right.
- I didn't know either. - What made you say yes...
to the offer so readily?
- I contemplated a lot, - Yes.
but my bandmates...
encouraged me so much.
It's been 20 years since they formed the band.
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
- Congratulations! - They have amazing songs.
- They do. - Yes.
(A band with an unmistakable presence in the music scene)
(They've continued to thrive for 20 years.)
("Sultan of the Disco Invited to Glastonbury Festival in the UK")
("Nahzam Sue Shares the Stage with Coldplay and Metallica")
("Sultan of the Disco Joins Forces with Tony Maserati for 'SQ'")
Forming a band and keeping it together for 20 years...
- It's hard. - is not an easy feat.
- Yes. - Right.
They have so many hits and masterpieces.
They do.
Kyu Hyong.
(Welcome)
I didn't know.
He's the main vocalist.
You looked so chill.
- But seriously... - He's a musical actor.
Actually,
his silhouette didn't give away who he was.
- Right. - I had no idea who he was.
(Who is it? I have no idea.)
(Who on earth is he? I can't tell.)
(It was hard to tell who he was from his silhouette alone.)
We didn't recognise Nahzam Sue either.
- It wasn't easy. - On the other hand,
- even though he was hidden, - I could tell for sure.
I recognised Professor Jung by his chin.
Why were you moving your chin so much while singing?
(You said)
(Adding vibrato)
(His chin moved in sync with his vibrato.)
That was the trend in the 80s.
But this festival is about the 90s.
- This is about the 90s. - But...
You can't have the 90s without the 80s.
- Don't make me mad. - Okay.
- "Don't make me mad." - "Don't make me mad."
- He might start harmonizing. - But...
(He got fired up again when he was at a disadvantage.)
(Laughing)
- These are the last performers. - Oh, my.
Last but not least, Our Paradise,
Jurassic Park, and Puberty.
(A one-of-a-kind voice from the very first note)
(Our Paradise with a voice filled with emotion)
(Jurassic Park with an irresistibly captivating voice)
(Puberty with a boyish, delicate voice)
(Puberty with a boyish, delicate voice)
The song they'll perform...
- is "I Love You" by Shin Hyo Bum. - "I Love You."
("I Love You" by Shin Hyo Bum)
I was planning to sing this for the finals.
You were?
("I Love You" released in 1993)
(A ballad featuring lyrical melody and explosive vocals...)
(from Shin Hyo Bum's 4th album)
It's a timeless masterpiece widely sung to this day.
Performing this song...
Before we start, I ask for your understanding.
Puberty is absent today due to personal reasons.
I see.
So we replaced his part with a recording.
To explain briefly,
he had to go to reserve army training.
- It can't be helped. - We have to accept that.
- It's totally acceptable. - Sure.
- He has to go. - Since the country needs him.
Let's welcome the trio's song with a big round of applause.
(The long-awaited final performance presented by the trio)
- All right. It's beginning. - Puberty...
(The lights are out.)
A roller skate rink?
(Along with the sound of music)
It's a radio booth.
(A radio booth appears.)
Is it a radio booth?
It's a recording booth. I love it.
How did they put this together?
- This is amazing. - How did they do that?
"Bae Chul Soo's Music Camp."
I see. This is "Bae Chul Soo's Music Camp."
Hello. I'm Bae Chul Soo.
Without looking at the calendar, you can feel...
that fall has arrived and winter is soon to come.
This is nice.
As we head toward the year's end, there are so many special events.
In particular, MBC is holding...
- the MBC Seoul Song Festival. - My goodness.
He recorded this for us!
With this news, "Bae Chul Soo's Music Camp..."
for November 7, 1995, begins.
Even the full opening.
(Expectant)
(On Air)
("I Love You" by Our Paradise, Jurassic Park, and Puberty)
They're here.
My goodness.
How are we even going to listen to this?
(The voice of Our Paradise fills the entire theater.)
There he is.
(Puberty joins in from the TV screen.)
What is happening?
I love this.
(The final stars are finally revealed.)
(A trusted emotional voice, Puberty Jung Seung Hwan)
It's Jung Seung Hwan.
Seung Hwan is here.
Lee So Ra!
(An irreplaceable, legendary voice, Our Paradise Lee So Ra)
(A diva who touches your heart, Jurassic Park Gummy)
Gummy!
(A diva who touches your heart, Jurassic Park Gummy)
(Deep inside my heart)
(Forever)
What should I do?
I can't believe I'm watching this right here.
(A legendary performance felt up close)
(I love you)
(Deep inside my heart)
(Forever)
I couldn't breathe. I watched it with bated breath.
- I didn't breathe at all. - Seriously...
- It was a concert. - It was really...
- I couldn't even breathe. - It was insane.
("I Love You" by Lee So Ra, Gummy, and Jung Seung Hwan)
(Our Paradise, Jurassic Park, Puberty)
(Lee So Ra, Gummy, Jung Seung Hwan)
(Amazed)
(That was beautiful.)
Was it Min Seok or Jung Yeol?
He said, "This is practically a celebration gala."
It really was.
We need to hear Professor Jung Il Young's opinion.
What?
- He didn't like it? - Even Professor Jung Il Young...
- can't mess with this. - He didn't like it.
- Even him... - Did you like it?
- He can't evaluate it. - Did you just see that?
He clasped both hands together.
He burst into tears.
(He listened intently with his hands clasped all along.)
(Amazed)
- I'm so lucky today. - I know, right?
This is the best day.
- I know. - To see Gummy and So Ra...
performing together like this...
- It was unbelievable. - Where else would we see this?
- It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance. - How are we even worthy of this?
- Please come this way. - Unbelievable.
This way.
(Lee So Ra and Gummy finally join the audience.)
Please have a seat.
Let's give them another big round of applause.
- Thank you. Hello. - Hello.
- Please have a seat. - Hello.
- I couldn't even breathe. - Please sit here, Professor.
I'm just speechless.
The other artists just now...
showed us fantastic performances too,
but the moment that first note hit, the whole studio went wild.
We all brought our hands together out of pure reverence.
Even Professor Jung Il Young, with such a high spirit,
demurely clasped his hands...
to welcome the two.
Gummy, So Ra,
have you two ever sung together on stage before?
- Not even once. - We've never even met in person.
- Right. We first met today. - Really?
- I've only seen her on TV. - Seriously?
- Today is your very first time? - After all these years?
- Yes. - It was a beautiful harmony.
- We've never met before. - I guess neither of us...
- goes out very much. - Exactly.
- That's why. - We're honoured.
- I don't know if that's why... - Just stay quiet.
- Stay quiet. - Don't say things like that.
- Why did you say that? - Don't say it's an honour.
Exactly! What's so honourable about it?
A singer sang a song on stage.
- It's no big deal. - But the thing is,
just like the other participants,
you all have busy schedules and personal commitments,
so thank you so much for being part of our festival.
But So Ra... What I heard...
- was clearly your voice, - We didn't believe it at first.
- but I couldn't believe it. - Why not?
I never thought you would actually show up.
I wanted to try...
- Yes. - something new in 2026.
To be honest, I've never done variety shows before.
I know.
But since it's your show, Jae Seok,
I thought you'd make me feel comfortable.
I just decided...
- Thank you. - to give it a shot.
We're grateful to everyone, but...
- But this makes me so nervous. - Why?
Just now, the song...
My voice wasn't coming out fully.
- Why not? - And yet she sounded like that?
Because I was nervous.
- I was holding on to Gummy... - You sounded wonderful.
during the rehearsal.
- You did. - Yes.
Actually, there were...
so many comments asking if Lee So Ra...
- would really show up. - That's true.
- That hair suits you so well. - I think so.
I've been staring at your hair the whole time.
Coming on this show has its own little charms like this.
- "Amazing." - How does it look in person?
- "So Ra said..." - It really looks good on you.
"So Ra said it suits me well."
I'll give you a chance to try on my wig later.
Anyway, Seung Hwan couldn't join us today...
- due to reserve army training. - I know.
If he were here, he would've been such a great help for us.
He only sang a tiny bit.
- And he didn't come. - Where did he go?
- Reserve army training. - Where is he?
So, we're all here together today.
- Shall we take a photo? - Yes!
- Great! - Let's do this.
- Stay where you are. - What an honour.
- Come over here. - People who debuted...
twenty-plus years can move up first.
I can fit everyone in the frame.
- Shorter people in the front. - It's still a selfie.
- Where should I stand? - I'll be at the front.
- Right here? - Come closer.
- Okay. - Move closer.
Let's gather round.
- Hang on. - Professor.
Is Seung Hwan in the frame too?
- He's over here. - Get Seung Hwan.
- Professor, come here. - Squeeze in.
- Get him. - Get Seung Hwan.
Come here. Stand in the front.
- Get in here. - Short people at the front.
- Everyone's here. - We're all in?
Okay.
One, two.
One more.
One, two.
(Pleased exclamations)
This photo...
- It's crazy. - What a combination.
- It's so refreshing. - The frame is full!
- This is just... - We look great.

The group photo.
- I'll send it to the members. - Okay.
Do you know Android can send to Apple too?
- You know that? - It works?
I can send something to other brands' phones.
How do I...
Turn it on. Give it a go.
I know how to do this.
I'll send it to you.
We get the original file, not a compressed version.
(Once this file is sent, the next file will send automatically.)
- Who is "Ko"? - That's me.
- It's sending to Ko Kyoung Pyo. - Yes.
You know you have to accept the file, right?
It's coming.

You got it.
