Debut Team vs Rookie Team 1,156:397

- Hello. - Hello.

Did you see the show?

Yes.

First of all,

the Debut Team has practiced for years and it showed.

You understood the mission and created

a perfect mash up of three songs.

It was rearranged well so that it flowed smoothly

and the idea for the costumes was impressive.

As for the Rookie Team, it seemed like you didn't understand the mission at all.

There was no consistency in your song choice.

You should've at least worked on the overall arrangement

or have new ideas

or practiced harder.

Your performance isn't even worth evaluating.

The points for the first round goes to the Debut Team.

Your individual ranking will be put up on the bulletin board at the house.

- Okay. - Okay.

What?

Are you disappointed with the evaluation?

There was no evaluation.

Yeah, people were only talking about Suji.

So you're saying she's to blame for all this?

It's true she got a lot of attention.

She was a surprise.

But that also means none of you were able to

grab the attention of the public.

And that proves you weren't able to own the stage.

People may watch out of curiosity the first time,

but the next time, they'll be watching for how good you are.

So make them talk about you instead of Suji.

- That's all you have to do. - Okay.

What's the point of this competition anyway?

What are you trying to say?

If you're doing this for Suji,

we refuse to be used as sidekicks.

- Sidekicks? - Yes.

None of us got a proper evaluation because of her.

So?

Did you lose the first round?

No, but...

She may look like Suah,

but people don't mistake her talent for Suah's.

People are objective.

That's why they voted for you.

So what's the problem?

Debut Team vs Rookie Team Youngjoo 5 / Suji 0

Jane 4 / Jiseul 0, Sori 3 / Haseo 0

Yukika 2 / Mint 0, Taeri 1 / Yeeun 0

You did good.

4 points means I'm right below Youngjoo.

I'm happy.

- You did well, too. - Thanks.

Cheer up. At least you didn't get a zero.

Nakyung Chae

What?

What do you mean, what? I watched the show.

So?

That's what happens for staying at an agency that went under.

How does it feel competing with a bunch of losers?

I'm hanging up.

Suji was it? Suah's twin sister?

She's the only one who got attention. You had no presence at all.

In fact, I think you're the real loser.

That's why I voted for you. You should thank me.

Thanks for watching, but you know what?

No one knows you're a member of Red Queen.

You should work on that instead if you have time to watch our show.

What? Youngjoo! Hey!

- Who was it? - Na-kyung again?

What did she want?

Nothing. It was nothing.

You're working on your core.

It's hard to hold the same position.

It's a fight against yourself.

What the... Those two are so competitive.

Yeah, they are.

You want to bet who wins?

I'm betting on Suji.

There was no evaluation.

Yeah, people were only talking about Suji.

Suji was it? Suah's twin sister?

She's the only one who got attention. You had no presence at all.

In fact, I think you're the real loser.

I've never seen Youngjoo lose at anything before.

Yeah.

- Suji, wow. - Yeah, wow.

You said you're here because of Suah.

Don't you think you're bringing her image down?

You're right, I'm bringing her image down.

But that's why I'm going to work hard.

I don't want to feel sorry towards her anymore.

It's time to announce the second mission.

1, 2, 3.

This time, you'll be choosing a boy band song

and perform it in your own unique style.

That's your second mission.

But this time, we'll be evaluating your singing as well as dancing.

Great idols must be able to sing live

while dancing in sync.

That's what I'll be looking out for.

I want to do a powerful song this time.

Yeah, the first round was so feminine.

We need to show a different side this time.

- Something totally opposite! - Yeah!

Sounds good. What about Infinite's "Be Mine"?

We need to show how well we can dance.

We have to blow up the stage.

Let's do Big Bang's "Bang Bang Bang." You know the song, right?

- Bang, Bang. - Bang.

We can get costumes and props and kill everyone.

Or what about EXO's "Growl"?

Are you crazy?

No way in hell.

Jane's right. There are too many cover dances out there.

It's too easy to be compared

and if we don't do it right, it'll be a major flop.

Doing "Growl" is suicide.

- We can't do it. - You think?

What if we end up having do to "Growl"?

No way.

- Growl, growl... - Look.

- Don't do it. - That'll be the end of us.

It'll be over.

Wait.

The winner of the mission has an advantage.

Only the winner gets to choose their song.

They will also choose the song for the other team.

- Nice. - Yes!

That's great, right?

But that's so unfair!

That's part of the competition. If you think it's unfair, then win.

Now, choose the song.

EXO "Growl"

Are you kidding me?

I told you.

- We're dead. - Yeah.

We can't do that. What's she thinking?

That's so like her.

She wants to go head to head.

It's a difficult song. Do you think it'll be okay?

Let them do it.

BTOB "2nd Confession"

That's why I'm going to work hard.

I don't want to feel sorry towards her anymore.

EXO "Growl"

I want to win.

I don't want to accept that you're special.

- What? - Youngjoo.

I hope I see you on stage soon. Good luck!

Suah.

When I first saw Shinhyuk Kang,

I thought to myself,

if I had met him earlier,

could I have become like Suah?

Excuse me!

I'm Youngjoo Heo.

I wanted to be accepted, too.

That's all I wanted.

I wanted to be with him.

So when he reappeared into my life,

I was so happy.

But she ruined everything.

The other Suah.

Suji Lee.

What are you thinking, Youngjoo?

You'll see.

See how I beat her.

What?

Can the winning team use the main studio?

It's awkward sharing it with the other team.

I don't want our ideas to leak.

But you got to choose your song

which is unfair for the Rookies, so next time.

This is a survival competition.

Do that.

Mr. Kang.

I'll tell the Rookie Team myself.

Thank you.

Am I doing the something wrong?

No.

The choices you make to win aren't wrong.

It's a survival competition after all.

But we'll have to see whether it was a good choice or not.

I'm going to win. You'll see.

And you'll finally recognize my talent.

- I was scared out of my wits. - Me, too.

I thought she chose "Growl" for us.

Youngjoo must really want to win this round.

Yeah. But I feel bad.

"Growl" is a hard song, even for us.

It'll be too much for them to handle.

That's why she gave it to them. You gotta hand it to her.

No, it's not like her at all.

Why did she do it?

Don't think too much about it. This is a competition.

And they're the ones getting a free ride.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

But what are we going to do with this song?

Don't worry.

We have a genius leader.

We didn't get to chose our own song, and now they took the studio?

This is too harsh.

It's only until the next mission.

Let's just make the best of it.

We have to win this time.

I didn't know about this space in the basement.

I think it used to be a practice studio.

It's the studio that the Debut Team used at their former agency.

Ugh.

They were so conceited, I thought they were from a bigger agency.

Yeah.

It's smaller than my private studio in Thailand.

What? You have a private studio?

- Really? - Yeah, want to see?

- Wow. - That's really nice.

You're a rich Thai girl.

My mom lets me do anything I want.

Nice. My mom is always telling me to get my act together

and slams my back, like this.

If you're jealous, you lose.

So rich girl, how about buying us some coffee?

Sure, what would you like?

- Chocolate mocha. - Americano for me.

- Vanilla latte. - Americano.

I'm going to gain weight.

Good thinking.

Mari, answer me. Don't fool around.

Why did Smarty give such a hard song to the Rookies?

I know you heard me. Give me an answer.

I'll give you a snack. What do you think?

Mari.

Please, please, please.

Please answer me.

Why is he acting like that here?

Mr. Shim.

If there's anything you want to know, ask me.

Youngjoo probably felt threatened.

Threatened?

Up until now, she thought that hard work was all it took

but she realized that talent is part of the equation.

She wants to wipe it out before the talent starts to shine.

Wipe it out? That's a scary thought.

Will our girls be okay?

If they aren't, that's their limit.

There'd be no reason to keep them on.

Competition is good for growth.

I'm sure they'll be of help to each other.

I'm more curious about the Debut Team.

What? "2nd Confession" in a girlish style?

And this is the concept for our costume.

Huh?

But this looks like Gfriend's style.

The mission is about boy bands.

Why do you think Mr. Kang gave us this mission?

What does he want to see from us?

We're supposed to be a girl group. So that got me thinking.

The original song is about boyfriends.

So we go the other way and make it about girlfriends.

We can change the lyrics, too.

Still, the other team is doing "Growl." It's a really powerful song.

Won't this be too weak?

Do you want to pretend to be a guy poorly?

You think Yukika and Taeri will look good in a boyish style?

Me? What about me?

I'm cool.

Yeah, yeah.

But still, it's a boy group mission

and I thought we'd get to do something cool.

You can be cool when you're alone.

Youngjoo.

We don't have time to argue.

Let's divide up the parts.

I'm in the center so I'll be the main vocals.

Jane will be the sub vocals.

Sori will be in charge of rap and dance.

Kika you have this part, and Taeri, this is your part.

I wanted to sing this part.

Taeri.

You can vie for the center position after you become a better singer.

That's not what I mean...

Don't you know you're the weakest member on this team?

Sorry.

Learn your parts and choreography by next practice.

We can do the rest afterwards.

- Okay. - Okay.

Is this song that hard?

We did three songs last time.

The choreography for this song is hard enough

but there are so many cover dances out there

that we have to be more than great to stand out.

If we're the sloppy in the slightest way, people will notice right away.

This song is originally for 12 people

and there's a change in the formation midway.

- Yeah? - Really?

So without that,

the performance will look lame.

How are we supposed to do that with only five people?

I don't know.

It's a hard song to perform.

That's why they gave it to us. To take us down.

EXO "Growl"

And we have to sing while we dance.

Oh, right. I hate singing.

But it could work to our advantage.

I can kill them all with my rapping.

We'll be able to win some points.

Then you're in charge of the rap. Let's divide up the other parts.

No, we need to decide on the concept first.

The concept...

We also need costumes.

Uh...

Can we go through the choreography first?

I'm nervous about that.

I'll take a look first.

- We have to decide the concept first. - No, the costumes.

This is getting us nowhere.

We need a leader like Youngjoo.

Right?

This was the only place that felt like home.

Is she still mad?

Mari.

Mari.

You're not a moody teenager anymore. If you have something to say, say it.

My feelings will be hurt if you don't eat.

Mari.

I told you, I can't today.

What is it this time?

Why are you doing this to me?

Fine. I'm going. Just wait.

I said I'm going!

Something must be up with Grumpy.

Yeeun still lacks confidence.

And Mint is still learning Korean.

Then what about Haseo?

I don't think she'd be interested in being a leader.

Then Jiseul?

She has charisma and talent.

Maybe...

Jiseul.

What?

Can you be the leader of our team?

What?

We need a leader like the other team.

You're a good dancer and singer so...

I'm busy. I can't.

Yeah?

We don't need a leader.

You do it if you want to.

What? Me?

No...I... I couldn't.

Then forget it.

Practice if you have time to worry about that stuff.

Right, practice.

I'll just have to practice harder.

Practice? Well...

I'm growling, growling, growling..

How much more do I have to practice?

Stop thinking, just practice.

What's the point of worrying?

I'm going to kill it with "Growl."

Have you seen Jiseul?

She just left.

Unbelievable. I asked her to stay to talk about our parts.

Does she want to do this or not?

I'll do the rap.

The main vocals are the problem...

Who's going to sing?

I'm not that good at singing yet.

Yeeun's a good singer.

She is?

Then Yeeun's the main vocals.

But Jiseul is good at singing and dancing.

So? She's always missing out on practice.

She can have whatever's left.

I guess.

Okay then. Yeeun's the main.

Jiseul is sub 2.

Suji is sub 3.

Mint's going to break-dance. That's all, right?

But...

The main vocals is in the center. I can't do it.

I ruined the performance last time.

Hmm. Then I'll tell Jiseul to do it.

Wait.

If we don't give her a chance because she made a mistake

it'll be a minus factor in our upcoming missions.

We should give her a chance to be in the center

and let her make up for her mistake.

We're a team after all.

- Suji. - Sounds good to me.

Yeah, we're supposed to be a team, and you can't cower all the time.

This time, be confident and do well.

You guys...

I have a good feeling today.

Taeri.

You keep getting it wrong.

Sorry.

Don't be sorry. Do it right.

You're the only one who made a mistake last time.

You think I didn't know?

Practice more.

Don't let it show during the real thing.

Taeri practices a lot.

She stayed late last night with us...

Late last night? And you slept?

How can you sleep when you haven't memorized the sequence?

If you can't keep up by next practice,

you all are not going to sleep for the rest of the week.

Youngjoo is so scary.

What a dictator!

Sorry. It's my fault.

It's okay. It happens.

But we can do this.

Let's run through it again.

Okay, start here?

Yeah, start with Jane's part.

I'm not in the mood.

What is it? A group text?

A group text?

Physical exam day!

Come to the house by 7:00 PM.

What? That was today?

- My weight! - I'm fine.

Oh, my gosh. Unbelievable.

Your chest is big for a skinny girl.

I'm so jealous.

Youngjoo is awesome.

Hurry up. Get it over with.

Oh, no. I gained one kilogram.

It's okay.

I practiced so hard. Why am I not losing weight?

That's just you.

Look at me. I can eat anything and not gain a pound.

So annoying.

I'm 45 kg.

Okay, Yukika is 45 kg.

I hate her.

Aren't you going up?

I...

I'll do it later.

Taeri, get up on the scale.

- Oh, my gosh. 55 kg? - Don't say anything.

She's gained weight.

What's wrong with you?

Don't you want to be an idol singer?

You won't fit into our costume.

Sorry.

If you're going to be so lazy, just quit.

Don't hold the rest of us back.

Youngjoo, stop it.

The same goes for you. Why are you always defending her?

That's why they won't get their act together.

Youngjoo, that's enough.

Let's go.

Let's go.

She has a temper.

What's up with her?

She's being insane these days.

Yeah, she got mad earlier today, too.

- Yeah. - She's scary.

Hey.

It's hard to see you these days.

You're never at practice.

Did you see the text? We had a physical exam.

The manager asked us to get your size.

We also divided up the parts.

This is your part.

- Why am I a sub? - What?

Isn't the center the main vocals?

You and Yeeun are the only ones who can sing.

Exactly. And she made a mistake last time.

We're giving her a chance to make it up.

Make it up?

This is a competition.

It's not a school talent show.

Then you should've been there when we divided up the parts.

You always miss practice.

So? I've always done my part.

I'm not like you. I'm not here because I'm bored.

To me, every single second is precious.

What?

Then you be in the center.

- I don't need your charity. - That's not what I meant...

Forget it. Do what you want.

Wait. We're going to check out our costumes.

Come with us.

I'm busy.

What's wrong with her? She's so annoying!

Fine! We don't need you either!

Leave her alone. You know how she is.

Mr. Kang.

Didn't you say you bought new shoelaces?

Oh... This is kind of a lucky charm...

It keeps me going...

I mean...

Here, this is for you.

Thank you. I needed one.

I always drink coke when I have indigestion.

I know. Suah did, too.

So are you done thinking?

Excuse me?

Weren't you looking for a leader?

You knew?

It's not easy as I thought it would be.

Leaders like Youngjoo are hard to find.

A leader doesn't have to be like her.

A leader should be like...

A thumb.

A thumb?

Why do you think of all the fingers, the thumb is the leader?

Because it's the biggest?

Or because it comes first?

It's the only finger that can face the other fingers.

If that role can be carried out,

anyone can be the leader.

Even you.

So without that,

the performance will look lame.

How are we supposed to do that with only five people?

What should we do...

It's not like we can clone ourselves...

What are you talking about?

Huh? Oh, nothing.

Where are the others?

They'll meet us there.

We're going to be late. Let's go.

Yeah.

What's with the hat?

I don't like people recognizing me.

It must be a pain to be you.

Come on.

That's it. Cloning!

It's pretty.

Eek!

Are you really paying for all this?

Are you trying to be like Jessi?

We appreciate it, but we can't accept this.

We'll all chip in.

No, no. I okayed it with Mom.

These clothes are awesome. They're a great idea.

How'd you come up with it?

She was just thinking about cloning.

- Cloning? - Cloning?

Yeah, I was thinking about how to come up with more people.

It's not a big deal.

It just popped into my mind while I was thinking about what Jiseul said.

What should we do about her clothes?

We need to check our timing, too.

Yeah.

Why is she so busy?

Maybe she's out clubbing.

She wouldn't.

Nevermind. She said she doesn't need practice.

She's probably out having fun.

- Stop drinking. - What?

You spilled all the broth.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Whatever.

Just go get us a pack of cigarettes.

Keep the change.

Let's eat.

Yes, sir.

Quick delivery

Can I get a tissue?

Where are you?

Wooshik is in trouble again.

I know, I was at the police station yesterday.

Is he okay?

Yeah. I'll talk to you later. I'm working.

I'll be home as soon as my shift is over.

When Wooshik comes home, make him stay. Bye.

Nothing ever came easy for me.

I tried not to be jealous about anything

and thought things would turn out okay.

I truly believed everything would be okay.

But I was only fooling myself.

Yes, boss?

Jiseul?

The truth is...

Nothing is okay.

Nothing.
