Episode 24

This is too much.

Producer Shinhyuk Kang, what is he hiding?

A habitual offender?

Runaway Shinhyuk Kang, a two-faced psycho?

These comments are awful.

Should we report them?

Leave it. Blame the reporter who wrote those lies.

There's nothing we can do.

People just like to talk about things they know nothing about.

I hope Mr. Kang doesn't see this.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Come on. Forget about it.

We said we wouldn't let this bother us.

Let's focus on practicing.

- Yeah. - Guys, let's practice.

- Get up. - I'm really not in the mood.

You still have to.

Taeri!

Why didn't you just come inside?

I dropped by because I was in the neighborhood, but I have to go soon.

Oh. So what are you doing here?

I saw the announcement.

Mr. Kang really left?

Are all of you okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

We're not letting it get to us.

If we just keep on doing what we're doing, and not give up,

I'm sure people will realize they were wrong about Mr. Kang.

Yeah. What's happening with the final match though?

Aren't people supposed to come

and vote at the site?

Yeah, we're a bit worried about that.

We're still getting a lot of bad press,

and the fans aren't very responsive.

Yeah.

You might have to promote the show yourselves.

It's a lot to handle.

Don't worry. I'll promote your final match

as I put up posters for the theater company.

Thanks.

Cheer up. People will realize the truth one day.

What have you been thinking about all day?

Are you still worried about Mr. Kang?

Actually I was thinking about how to promote our final match.

Promote it?

Yeah. Our final match is coming up.

I think we should do something to get people more involved,

instead of just practicing all the time.

Me too.

That's so mean.

Stop reading. You'll lose your appetite.

Yeah I've been so worried I don't feel like eating.

With all the negative press,

do you think people will even bother to come?

What's the point if no one comes?

I'm sure there'll be some people.

Why don't we go out and draw in a crowd ourselves?

Huh?

We can put on a surprise show.

- A surprise show? - Why so suddenly?

Youngjoo and I have been talking.

Since there's nine of us without Haseo,

we'll split up into three teams on the morning of the final match.

We can go to Daehangno, Hongdae and Gangnam

and put on a surprise show to promote our final performance.

Oh, like a flash mob?

We have to practice our individual songs anyway,

so we can perform those.

We'll ask the agency to upload videos of us, too.

I think it'll create a buzz.

Then how about making invitations too?

Instead of flyers?

Invitations?

Yeah, regardless of it being a survival competition,

it'll seem more special if we invite our fans to our show.

It'll make them want to come more, don't you think?

Sounds good.

Then we'll leave that to Jane since she's good at art.

Okay.

If we're making invitations,

let's send some to our friends and family.

This could be the last time the ten of us perform together.

Yeah.

That's a great idea.

We'll divide into three teams and shoot the videos for you.

Me, Danoh and Mr. Shim.

Oh, Mr. Shim has to be at the site that day.

Who else is there?

If only Mr. Kang was here.

Why don't we ask Coco to cover one team?

We're going to air the show live anyway

since this is their final match.

That's great. I'll let her know.

Let's eat before Mari comes.

I'm on a diet.

Yeseul's the one who needs a diet.

You don't care at all...

Passes by...

- Thursday. - Thursday?

Who has more colored pencils?

Thursday, May 25. 5:00 P.M.

Please come.

Is this right?

Please come

Real Girls Project, Final Match

That's too pink.

- You need more? - Yeah.

Is this enough?

- Here. - Thanks.

Guys, Haseo's on the phone...

- Haseo! - Haseo!

What's up?

- Haseo! - Haseo!

Can you see me?

Look. We made this.

Awesome, right?

Isn't it great?

We wish you were here.

- That's really nice. - We miss you.

- It's great. - Haseo, come soon.

- It's the best. - We really worked hard on it.

- We miss you. - Me, too.

- What are you doing? - Did you eat?

Yeah!

Bye!

- Bye! - We miss you!

We hope you can come.

I'm glad that they didn't give up

and are trying to achieve something.

I'm proud of them. Really.

Yeah.

I wonder what Mr. Kang is doing though.

Your insomnia is caused by stress.

Why don't you leave Seoul for a few months?

It'll be better than medication.

Looks like

you haven't caught anything this time either.

Mr. Shim.

Could you give me some of your time?

I'm usually good at this. The pebbles are no good.

I knew the day would come when I would use this business card.

I had no idea you still had that.

Why wouldn't I remember?

You were quite an interesting debtor at the time.

Go in. Go in.

Go inside.

Sit down.

You borrowed our money. You should pay it back.

I'm paying back the interest.

Interest?

You have to pay back the principal.

The term of the loan ends this week.

I'll pay it back. I just need some time.

Time?

Then we'll need some other collateral.

Collateral?

Sir.

He may say he's a music producer,

but he's got nothing to his name.

You should sell off his organs

before he makes a run for it.

What?

Here.

What's this?

What the...

Are you joking? Is this a joke?

Producer Shinhyuk Kang

I swear on my name.

That may be nothing but a business card right now,

but one day, it'll belong to the greatest producer in Korea.

If you take a bet on my ability and wait a little longer.

I'll pay you twice as much.

What happens if you don't keep the promise?

I'll come to you myself then.

You can do whatever you want with me.

Hold onto that business card.

I was desperate back then.

I didn't expect you to accept my offer.

I wanted to know whether you'd pay back the money

or come back to serve yourself up.

At least you kept your promise.

It took a long time to establish my business having to repay that loan first.

Thank you for believing in me.

It's a little late but I wanted you to know.

I still believe in you.

More than I did then.

Mr. Kang, is there any chance of changing your mind?

We really need you

more than anyone else right now.

Things will only quiet down if I'm gone.

So, what are you planning to do now?

I'm going to leave Korea for a while.

I'll think about what to do later.

Why don't you try skipping rocks this time?

Not that I expect you to be any good.

You're better than I am.

- It's really nice here. - Yeah.

Did you write all your invitations?

Who are you sending them to?

My parents, Yujin and Suah.

Suah?

Yeah, I'm going leave it in her cinerarium.

She was the one I wanted to invite the most.

And there's one more person.

Hmm?

What a surprise. I didn't expect you to call.

You finally want to talk?

I have something for you.

What's this?

An invitation to our final match.

What does this mean?

You still have the wrong idea about this survival competition

and Producer Kang.

I'd like you to come

and see for yourself

and know that I'm being honest with you.

Suji, don't you get it?

Shinhyuk Kang is lying to you.

Suah died because of him.

If you knew what kind of man he is...

No, he's only sacrificing himself for me and Suah.

Sacrifice? What...?

I...

I can't tell you...

But that's the truth.

Mr. Kang did nothing wrong.

Goodbye.

I'll go. To your concert.

Instead, will you tell me the truth?

It'll be off the record.

I won't go public with it unless I have your permission, I promise.

Alright.

Dear Suah

Did I do the right thing?

Will you tell me I did?

Dear Suah

Here again.

I thought I might be able to see you here.

There's something I wanted to give you.

Thank you. For encouraging me all this time.

I was able to run as hard as I could

because of the sneakers Suah got me for Christmas

and the shoelaces you gave me.

But...

I want to give them back.

Like you said, I'm going to stand up on my own

and not depend on anyone.

I won't ask you to be my guiding light.

Just watch over me.

Don't go anywhere too far.

Just stay close and see what I do.

This time, I promise you.

I'll be on the stage Suah dreamed about.

No matter what.

Couldn't you tie them better?

Real Girls Project, Final Match. Please come!

Don't be nervous. Just go out and have fun.

- Okay? - Yeah!

- Real! - Girls!

Everybody, fight on!

- Let's do this. - Fight on.

Have fun.

Hello everyone. I'm BJ Coco.

What am I doing out here you ask?

I'm here to cheer on the members of Real Girls Project.

They're putting on a special performance at five o'clock today at Hangang Park.

I hope you'll be there today.

Should we go and meet the girls?

Let's, go, go, go, go!

Hello. We're Real Girls Project.

We'll do our best.

You're so pretty!

It's starting!

Hello. At five today...

Hello. Please come at five.

Hello.

Hello.

At five today, Real Girls Project

will be putting on a whole performance, so please come.

This has been Real Girls Project.

Come see the main show later!

See you later. Bye!

Bye.

Is it true that you joined because a producer backed you?

What?

Yeah. What's your relationship with that producer?

Say something.

What?

What? What's going on?

There were rumors about him and Suah, too.

You have to admit, it's really suspicious.

He's not like that.

Yeah.

Then tell him to come clean about it.

Why is he always running away then?

He's not running.

He's taken a step back for our sake.

It's up to you whether to believe us or not,

but Suah and I, we have never lied

on the stage that we dreamed about and worked so hard for.

My life was at a standstill after Suah died,

and Mr. Kang was the one who made me run and dream again.

Those are the facts. That's all there is.

Don't go anywhere too far.

Just stay close and see what I do.

Take a look during the rehearsal later...

Guys, guys, guys!

I just saw the stage. It's amazing.

It looks like a stage for top stars. I'm so happy!

Our name is on the real-time search.

What?

The comments aren't bad either.

A lot of people are saying they're coming.

I'm glad we did the promo concert.

We handed out most of the invitations.

Let me see.

It's in real time.

Do you think a lot of people will come?

Definitely.

If only Haseo were here, too.

She'll be here.

Don't worry.

I'm so worn out.

Still no word from Haseo?

No. Her phone is still turned off.

Maybe she really can't come.

We only have two hours left before the show.

Guys!

Huh? Haseo!

We missed you!

How did this happen?

We were so worried you wouldn't be able to come.

Well..

What are you wearing? Go back inside, now!

No. I want to go!

No, I will go!

You can lock me up for the rest of my life,

but I have to go to the concert today.

Take her to the station.

What?

He gave you permission to be a singer?

I don't know about that.

But he let me come today.

That's great!

We're so glad you came.

I have a good feeling today! I think we're going to be a hit.

Then should we do a chant and start rehearsing?

- Okay. - Yeah.

Here.

It's raining. Get the equipment.

- Get it! - Hurry up!

It's raining all of a sudden?

- Get it. Hurry, hurry. - No...

- What the... - This can't be happening.

- Oh no... - It's raining hard.

How is it outside? Is there a crowd?

What about the rain?

The rain is subsiding, but the audience...

What now?

Are we a major flop?

We still have 30 minutes so let's wait and see.

Yeah, there are some fans who came to see you,

as well as your friends and family.

So try not to worry, okay?

It'll be okay.

It'll be okay. Alright?

It'll be okay.

I don't think we can go on with the concert today.

- What? - What?

I just met with the stage staff.

It's too dangerous because the stage is slippery.

But this is our final match.

Yeah.

We've worked so hard for this concert.

There aren't a lot of people out there to vote.

I know it's not what you want, but we should wrap things up today

and set another date.

Do you think people will come again another day?

Do we have to give up before we've even begun?

Who said you could give up?

Mr. Kang.

- Mr. Kang. - Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang.

Singers don't give up right before going up on stage.

The stage you perform on can't always be perfect.

Sometimes it may seem small and insignificant,

it may even be rained on,

but it's your stage.

You've all been running towards this moment.

So see it through.

This is your final match.

Yeah, let's just go up and have fun.

- Yeah. - Wait.

Me too.

Real Girls, fight on!

- Fight on! - Fight on!

2, 3.

Hello.

- They're starting. - We're Real Girls Project.

Today is the first time

all ten of us are performing together.

The title of our song is "One for All"

meaning that we all came together to become one.

Today on this stage, we are all "real girls."

Every time I tried to start over,

obstacles stood in my way.

Thinking it'll never be

I cry like a fool, alone,

but even if I fall, I'm going to start over

Your wish, my wish, our wish added

Stay a little stronger

As we look into each other's eyes

Where is the end to this glittering road

Over way up high, one for all

One for all

Waiting all this time, wishing desperately

I was the only one standing still

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

We can overcome this together

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

Wishing for our miracle, my miracle, our miracle

Stay a little stronger

As we look into each other's eyes

Where is the end to this glittering road

Over way up high, one for all

One for all

As the evening sky turns red

I feel alone, but you take me in your arms

Even when darkness falls, you stay beside me

Always here for me

Stay a little stronger

As we look into each other's eyes

Where is the end to this glittering road

Over way up high, one for all

I take your hand, the moment we've dreamed of

Until our voice becomes one...

Empty seats, a slippery floor, a shabby stage.

It was definitely not the stage we dreamed of.

But I was happy because we were together.

And so our first and last performance came to an end.

We love you!

Okay, cut!

But no one knows what'll happen in life.

Our last performance became known as

the "slip and slide stage" and went viral.

Because of the immense popularity,

our dreams finally came true and we got to debut.

When our hopes from radiant days come true

what did we miss in all the familiarity

You and me, starting over

It's not the end

We're back at the beginning

Take my hand and go

One step at a time

Hello, everyone!

I'm Coco.

We have very special guests today.

They're the sisters, Youngjoo and Joungjoo!

- Hello. I'm Youngjoo. - And I'm Jungjoo.

Let's listen to their song.

Thinking of you all day

Missing you even when you're here

Missing you more when you turn around

Hating to have to say goodbye

Joungjoo miraculously found her voice,

And Youngjoo was able to stand on stage together with her sister,like she had always dreamed.

And after the reporter's endless persistance,

the truth about Suah finally came out.

There was a major uproar,

but in the end everything went back to normal.

- Real! - Girls!

Everybody fight on!

1, 2, step, walking together, let's go

3, 4, 5, falling down again

Sometimes we cry,

Sometimes it's hard and tiring

Just out of my reach

Wanting it so bad

Hoping that our precious time

and all our sweat

won't be in vain, full of bright hope

Dreaming, dreaming, go, go, go

Someone once said,

every failure and every success you experience in life

is a process and a happiness that only those who dream can enjoy.

So keep on dreaming.

We're here to cheer you on.
