Original subtitles

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I must be going crazy.

Hey.

What's up with Mr. Si?

He's glaring at me with the look of death.

I don't know.

-Don't talk to me. -And what's up with you?

I think they're good.

Great.

My dreams,

the students' dreams, and the teachers' dreams

will now come together and become reality.

I wonder where he got that cheesy line.

Then...

who are the final members?

The four of you plus Phil-sook and Hye-mi. It'll be a six-member group.

You're now going into the professional world.

You all know how cutthroat that world can be, right?

-Yes. -Yes.

Great. You guys can leave now. Practice hard, okay?

-Thank you. -Thank you.

HYUN SI-HYUK, YUN BAEK-HEE SONG SAM-DONG, GO HYE-MI

Congratulations on your debut.

The country bumpkin has made it.

Congratulations to you too.

I thought you'd stay glum forever,

but you got back up in no time.

I shouldn't have given you that pendant.

I know.

You whipped me back into shape.

I'm making my debut,

and my sense of pitch is back too.

I've come a long way.

I should no longer be just an object of pity in Hye-mi's eyes, right?

I guess so.

Probably.

I'm surprised.

I thought you'd say something very mean.

I hope you haven't forgotten what I said. I want to go up against you

man to man.

-I do remember. -You seem very relaxed though.

Are you that confident?

No, I'm not.

How about you? Are you confident?

I'm not confident either.

The more I think I about it,

the more I see that you're bigger than me,

and perhaps slightly better-looking as well.

You even gave up on your dream to keep someone safe.

That makes you pretty cool.

I wish you were a weaker rival.

Frankly, I'm a little intimidated.

How about you give up now if you're intimidated?

I'm sorry.

I can't do that.

See you later.

Hye-mi!

I have something to show you.

Where you are going, Hye-mi?

Hye-mi, wait!

Hye-mi!

Hye-mi!

Hye-mi!

Hye-mi!

Hye-mi!

Hye-mi.

Why were you running away from me?

I didn't run away from you.

I was just trying to get some exercise.

Really?

I got an offer from White Entertainment.

Oh, congratulations.

You don't really look like you're happy for me.

I am. This is what my face looks like when I'm happy for someone.

I can...

go on stage with you now.

That's great.

Can I ask you something?

Do you...

still worry about me and feel sorry for me?

What?

I don't know.

Hello?

Hey, Hye-seong.

What?

Okay.

I'll be right there.

What's wrong? Is something going on?

My dad is...

back.

Your dad?

Hey, what the hell are you doing now?

Why did you damage my car? Who are you?

Go Byeong-jik.

Who?

Cha Myeong-ok's husband.

Long time no see.

Dad!

Hye-seong!

Dad!

Where's Hye-mi?

-She's not back from school yet. -Really?

I've come back for you, so don't worry about a thing now.

What's this?

I know

that you've done a lot for Hye-mi and Hye-seong while I was gone.

Thank you.

It's not much, but please accept it as a small token of appreciation.

But you don't seem all that appreciative.

This is what my face looks like when I'm very grateful.

Well, I don't need this. It's fine.

Fine, my foot. Let me see.

This is not even close to enough.

From all the food to their tuition fees and rent...

We've spent an arm and a leg on them.

By the way, who's this guy?

Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Hyun Si-hyuk.

He's Hye-mi's friend from school. He lives upstairs.

But Hye-mi's room is upstairs. They've been staying on the same floor?

-Well, it's-- -Dad.

Hey, Hye-mi.

Ouch, that hurts. Hye-mi, it hurts.

What took you so long?

You said you'd be back in two months.

You call this two months?

I'm sorry, Hye-mi.

But don't worry. Everything will be okay now.

I'm back in the game again, just like eight years ago.

We can live together now.

Let's move to the States.

-The States? -Yes. The States.

So you girls

have been staying here?

Yes, it's not too bad.

What are you talking about? This room is so tiny.

Don't worry. You can each have your own room when we get to the States.

You're moving...

to the States?

-When? -As soon as we get the paperwork done.

I suppose we should be ready in about a week.

-A week? -Pack up your stuff, girls.

Let's stay at a hotel until we leave.

We can't just pack up and leave suddenly like this.

Can't we stay here until our paperwork is done?

I think that would be better.

Leaving suddenly like this might be stressful for the girls.

Why are you trying to stop them?

Well, that's not what I'm doing.

I just don't want you to waste your money on a hotel room.

We have many rooms.

-You can sleep here. -You can sleep here.

I will decide where I want to sleep.

I've been meaning to ask you two.

What is your relationship with Hye-mi?

We go to the same school.

That's all there is, right?

No. That's not all.

We're also in the same class.

My dear Hye-mi

will be going to Juilliard.

Do you know Juilliard?

Yes.

We have a lot of paperwork to sort out,

so I'll be rooming with you for a short while.

If you're uncomfortable, we can go to a hotel.

-No, not at all. -Please make yourself at home.

By the way, has this been steam-cleaned?

I suffer from allegeries.

This must be a spring mattress.

That's not a latex mattress either, right?

I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep on this mattress.

Hey, don't you think he's a bit like Hye-mi?

Not just a bit. They're so much alike.

Does that mean

Hye-mi will have to give up on her debut and move to the States?

I'm sorry.

Your room must be really crowded with my dad there now.

No, it's fine.

Have you...

decided to go to the States?

Yes. My dad has come for me, so I should go with him.

Once I'm there, I can get another shot at Juilliard.

So you've decided to go back to classical singing?

Yes, of course. That was my dream all along.

I should get back on my original path.

I should congratulate you, right?

Totally.

This is a great thing for me.

Mr. Kang should be able

to get me out of my contract with Mr. Ma, right?

EXCLUSIVE ARTIST CONTRACT

JO SU-MI CONCERT

Are you sleeping?

Do you...

have to go?

Can't you just...

stay here?

You got me out of my slump.

I want to hold on to you.

I barely just managed to get to where I am now.

If you leave like this...

What am I supposed to do?

What do you think, Ms. Si?

Is it really bad?

No.

The bridge just needs some polishing up.

It may not be the title track,

but it's good enough for an album.

You really think so?

Are you just being nice to make me feel better?

Do you think I'm that considerate?

Well, not really.

Fix up the bridge for next class, okay?

Sure.

Ms. Si.

I'll be coming to the regular class again starting tomorrow.

Will you be okay?

You don't have to push yourself.

I'll be fine.

I'm off.

Hye-mi. Hye-seong.

Hye-mi, wake up.

-What is it, Dad? -Where are we going?

Wake up and get dressed. We have to go.

Then what will happen to Hye-mi's debut?

Is it not happening anymore?

-I guess not. -Really?

-What's the matter? -What is it?

-Mr. Kang! Hye-mi's dad is gone. -Hye-mi and Hye-seong are gone too.

What? Does that mean they took off in the middle of the night?

Dad.

When are we going to the hotel?

Why did you bring us here?

Let's just stay here while we get our paperwork done.

Why do we have to do that?

If we stay at Kang Oh-hyeok's place,

Ma Du-sik will find me and harass me to pay him back.

What?

But you said you're back in the game now.

Aren't you going to pay off all of your debt?

It's impossible to be back in the game in just a year.

Wait just a little while. I'll bounce back soon.

So you don't have any money, and we have to hide from your creditors.

Why have you come back?

To get you back into classical singing.

I was worried that you might give up on your dream for good because of me.

What?

Jo Su-mi was shocked when she heard about you giving up classical singing.

She got you a full scholarship to Juilliard, including room and board.

She said it'd get harder for you get back into it if you took a longer break.

So let's just go to the States and see what happens.

We'll take care of you first, and then I'll worry about money.

Hey, don't pick up.

We'll leave in a week without telling anyone.

She's not picking up?

No.

You don't suppose she just took off, do you?

Maybe she did.

Where are you going?

We have to find her.

-What will you do if you find her? -If I find her...

If I find her...

She wants to go the States and follow her dream.

Are you going to stop her?

How will you stop her?

-On what grounds? -I have...

no grounds.

I know I have no grounds to ask her to stay,

but I don't think I'll be able to breathe unless I find her.

Okay. We'll get the passport application to you tomorrow.

Yes, New York.

We'd like to depart next Monday.

Go Byeong-jik, Go Hye-mi, and Go Hye-seong. Three people in total.

Okay, thank you.

-Where's Hye-mi? -She went out a while ago.

She went out? Where did she go?

I'm not sure. She probably went to school.

She's practicing very hard these days.

She's been putting her all into becoming a pop star.

A pop star?

My dear Hye-mi is working to become a mere entertainer?

Dad, can't we go back to Mr. Kang's?

Hye-mi.

Hye-mi!

The number you have dialed...

Hye-mi.

Hye-mi.

Oh, Baek-hee.

What are you doing here? We have class.

What?

Right.

Have you decided to start going to class again?

Yes.

I can't hide like an owl forever, you know.

Let's go.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Well... -I...

-I'll go this way... -I'll go this way...

I'll do this.

Then I'll go this way.

Yes, please go ahead.

Well, Mr. Kang.

About how I embraced you

like this the other day...

Oh, that.

Please don't worry. I won't get the wrong idea.

"The wrong idea"?

Oh, right. What a relief.

I was so worried thinking that you might have gotten strange ideas.

All right, then.

Gosh, that face!

What's going on here?

Oh, well...

It seems like things are going well between the two of you.

No, we were just--

Please don't get any wrong ideas. It was an accident.

We just bumped into each other.

That's right. We bumped into each other. Bam, ouch.

By the way, what brings you here?

I got a song for our kids.

My gosh, really?

This song by Feline of Amsa-dong is the one he has most regrets for.

He gave it to Group K,

but it never saw the light of day, let alone the pop charts.

What? You accepted a secondhand song?

You should've thrown a fit. Is he looking down on our kids or what?

Why give them a used song?

Jin-man, listen to this.

Hey, that's really good.

You must be a genius.

Sam-dong is the genius.

He came up with this melody a while ago,

and he also changed the title from "Love High" to "Dream High."

Seriously?

I didn't know the country bumpkin had that kind of talent.

"Dream High."

Don't you think it'd also be a good name for the group?

No way.

That'd be so uncool. Listen up.

I've come up with a name.

Albatross.

It's a big bird.

Dream High? It has a nice ring to it.

I also came up with a great backup name in case you wouldn't like Albatross.

Check this out.

R2D2.

It's the robot in Star Wars.

-Dream High, it is. -Great.

Forget it! I'm out. I'm done with this.

Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?

But the thing is,

the song needs to be rearranged.

Would you do it for us, Mr. Yang?

Me?

Really?

Mr. Kang told me that you're very good at it.

Gosh, no.

Why did you tell him that?

Then how should we divide up the parts?

There are three boys and three girls, so...

Well...

Mr. Ma.

So...

Hye-mi has to pull out because she's taking up

classical singing again.

That's what you're saying, right?

Yes.

She can't pull out without even giving us a heads-up.

Is that what Hye-mi wants to do?

I think so.

I think you're forgetting something, Mr. Kang.

Hye-mi and I still have some financial matters to settle.

She still owes me money.

-I'm aware. That's why-- -Kang Oh-hyeok!

Where's Hye-mi? What did you do with her?

Where have you hidden her?

Where did Hye-mi go?

-Why are you being like this? Calm down. -You stay out of this.

You not only seduced my wife,

but you're now also

set on making Hye-mi a third-class pop singer, aren't you?

-He seduced your wife? -You seduced his wife?

Dad!

What the heck are you doing now?

-Hye-mi. -Oh-hyeok seduced Hye-mi's mom?

-I didn't know you were such a Casanova. -Let go of him.

-Mr. Kang is not a bad person. -You have no idea!

-This dirty scumbag-- -Calm down, Mr. Go.

Mind your own business, will you?

Ma... Ma Du-sik.

Are you saying you signed with Ma Du-sik...

I mean, you signed with the agency set up by Mr. Ma?

Yes.

To pay off my debt?

Well, it was...

I've heard enough.

I'll pay you back in full right away,

so please let my daughter go.

How will you find that kind of money?

It's fine.

I'll make my debut and become a star.

Hye-mi, you don't need to worry about what he might do. Just trust me.

I can report him to the police should he play hardball.

-You have it all wrong. -What about classical singing?

You finally got another chance. Are you going to give it up?

Yes.

Hye-mi,

you don't have to worry about the debt.

If that's why you want to stay, you really don't need to.

And if you really want to get back into classical singing,

I'll speak with Mr. Ma and try to get you

out of the contract.

Mr. Kang.

She trained in classical singing for over ten years.

It'd be such a waste of talent to hold her back over the debt.

Plus, you put a lien on my house as collateral for the debt,

so you'll get your money back.

Hye-mi, you shouldn't be forced to make your debut just because of the debt.

Think this over carefully

before making your final decision.

Okay.

Where are you staying right now?

-We're staying at a hotel. -He's lying.

We're staying at a public sauna.

Hye-seong.

Come back and stay at my place.

You can take care of the paperwork there

and also give Hye-mi some time to think.

I can't wrap my head around the fact

that Mr. Kang seduced a married woman.

Hye-mi's dad must be a terrible person.

There's no other possible explanation.

Well, I'm not sure.

That must be the case, right?

Given how sweet and kind Mr. Kang is,

he probably got roped into their problems while trying to help Hye-mi's mom.

I bet that's what happened.

Don't you think so, Mr. Yang?

Mr. Kang is always putting himself out there to help others, you know.

I'm sure that's why he ended up getting involved with Hye-mi's family.

Jeez.

If that happened eight years ago...

That was when he ditched me right before we were going to make our debut.

Come to think of it, Oh-hyeok wasn't really a sweet guy back then.

You see, he could be...

a wolf in sheep's clothing.

With that slithery tongue of his,

he can talk anyone into...

Ms. Si.

Leave me alone, please.

Hello, I'm Jason from Dream High.

Congratulations to Idol Focus on its 300th show.

I hope Idol Focus will be around

for its 500th, no, 1,000th show.

Cut! Okay.

-Thank you. -Good job.

Thank you.

-Sir. -Yes?

Was that okay?

Didn't it sound a bit cheesy?

-Should I do another one? -No, don't worry. It was great.

By the way, thanks for volunteering to do this.

You're such a loyal kid.

Then how about getting the other Dream High kids

on the show?

Shall I? Sure!

Who are the members? Whom would you recommend for our 301st show?

All of them, really.

How about Jinguk?

Or... What about Baek-hee?

They were also in Group K, you know.

Yes, I know that.

But don't you think it's a bit too soon for them to go on air?

Besides, there are rumors that Baek-hee made the first move on Mr. Yun--

Forget it. Never mind.

Come on. I obviously don't believe such rumors.

But the problem is that the viewers think that's what really went down.

Is there anyone else you'd recommend?

-There's a girl named Kim Phil-sook. -Kim Phil-sook?

My, the name alone deserves an appearance.

What's she like?

I will go.

I won't go.

I will go.

I won't go.

I will go.

I won't go.

I will go. I won't go.

I will go.

I won't go.

I will go.

I won't go.

I will go. I won't go. I will go.

I won't go.

I will go. I won't go.

I will go.

What am I supposed to do?

Oh, Jinguk.

Are you still torn on whether you should go to the States or not?

Yes.

Should I...

go or not?

What matters the most is what your heart says.

Think it through carefully before you decide.

To tell you the truth,

I can't figure out what my heart really wants.

Should I go to the States

or stay here and make my debut?

I'm not 100 percent sure about either option.

That's what makes it so hard.

If you're 100 percent sure about one of them,

then that's not a choice. It's the correct answer.

But this is 50-50.

That's what choices are. They make you torn.

What can you do? You do have to make your choice.

And when you do, don't look back

and turn that 50 percent into 100 percent.

You should do your best to prove to yourself

that you made the right decision.

Aren't you going to tell me

not to leave?

You never listen to other people anyway.

That's true.

All right, we're rolling.

Welcome to Idol Focus. Our guest today

is Kim Phil-sook of Dream High.

-Nice to meet you. -Hello.

I'm Kim Phil-sook of Dream High.

Very nice.

This is your first TV appearance, right?

Yes, this is my very first TV appearance,

so I'm quite nervous at the moment.

Please go easy on me.

-Don't worry. You're doing very well. -Thank you.

Great. The opening was good.

We'll readjust the lighting before we move on.

Ms. Kang.

This isn't what we agreed on.

What's up with these questions?

You never told me about these.

-Come on. They're fun. -We're rolling again.

-We need attention grabbers. -Standby!

Go!

This is what we've managed to dig up on you.

We heard you're incredibly talented.

You have absolute pitch, and you're also known for your multi-octave range.

And we heard that you're an amazing guitar player as well.

Yes. I actually brought my guitar today

to sing a snippet of a song for you.

Hang on. Before that...

I forgot to mention

your greatest talent.

It's your ability to transform.

Ta-da! Wow, this is unbelievable.

My goodness. This is you from a year ago, right?

Pardon?

My gosh, is this for real?

Look at those thighs.

I can't believe my eyes.

-Is this really you? -Yes.

-That's what I looked like a year ago. -Wow, I see.

My gosh, how did you get this photo?

We went through hoops to get it. But is this really you?

I probably used to weigh about 82kg around the time this photo was taken.

-Did you say 82kg? -Yes.

So how big were you?

Well...

I think I was about that big.

-That big? -Yes.

That's my dad's belly.

I think I was actually bigger in the waist area.

-Seriously? -Yes.

A piano bench can fit up to three or four people, you know.

But I was too big that no one could really sit with me.

Gosh, I can't even picture that now.

Anyway, I'm so glad you lost all that weight.

This was only a year ago,

but we should say goodbye to your awful past, okay?

How do you feel now? Let's annihilate your past.

Let's bash it up together.

We have to get rid of it. This has to be gone.

Come on. Let's do this. Bash it up.

-Just get rid of it. -Yes, let's do away with it.

-Great! That's it. -Let's get rid of it.

She's good. She has a feel for this.

She knows how to take advantage of her drawbacks.

Of course.

Phil-sook is awesome.

Now, put all this energy into a song. Let's hear it!

Your eyes that only look at me

Your perfect, pretty nose

Your lovely lips

Your milky white skin

That curious look on your face

And the nonchalant way you speak

My friends tell me

That it's all just in my head

But I know how you feel about me

I know everything Even if you play innocent

You may be able to fool a ghost But not me

Step by step

I walk toward you nervously

Feeling excited

Even today, my feelings for you

Grew this much

Now, tell me

Your dream

Hey.

I don't understand why you like this cheesy place so much.

It feels like Mexico.

Fine. Mexico, it is.

Earlier, the producer of the show told me

that they found your old picture on your blog.

That's when they revised the interview questions.

I see. That's what happened.

So I was thinking...

Wouldn't it be better to just delete all the pictures

on your homepage and your blog?

Yes. I should, right?

Yes.

But...

it is a little upsetting

that I have to be ashamed of my past

and erase everything from that time.

Even when I used to weigh 82kg,

I was quite happy.

I passed the Kirin audition,

and I got to perform on stage for the first time.

I also made a lot of great friends.

And...

I met you.

But when people see my pictures from that time,

they'll just point fingers and talk about

how awful I looked,

even though I was very happy back then.

After some time,

even I might come to hate the way I used to look back then.

That thought scares me a little.

There's another person who liked you

as you were.

What?

What's this?

The picture of the girl on your phone was me?

Why? Who did you think it was?

I thought it was that girl, Julie or whatever her name is.

The one you always tell "I miss you" and "I love you" on the phone.

Julie's my baby sister, you fool.

What?

Really?

What was that about?

Sorry.

I couldn't help myself. The monkey is just so adorable.

By the way,

why did you close your eyes?

-What were you expecting? -I don't know.

I didn't expect anything.

Yes, Auntie.

It'd be great if you could sign Hye-mi up for the English course.

I know.

I'm grateful that he took care of them for a whole year, but I still hate him.

Now, he's even trying to rob Hye-mi of her dream.

I absolutely can't let that happen.

It's been her dream for ten years.

I have to make sure she realizes that dream.

I'll help her return to classical singing.

Hey.

What is it?

Please tell me the truth.

The truth about what?

About my mom.

-Hye-mi, that's-- -Mr. Kang.

I'm leaving for the States tomorrow.

At first,

I really hated you.

But...

you're the person who guided me to where I am now.

I don't want to leave without knowing the truth.

I have nothing to say because I did...

seduce your mom.

Don't lie to me.

Tell me.

Was my mom

a bad person?

Not at all.

Your mom was...

madly in love with a man.

So many losers made passes at her,

but she never budged.

And...

she married the man she loved.

Ten years later,

one of those losers

ran into your mom again...

at a hospital.

A hospital?

Your mom was...

not hung up on her own death.

Rather, she was worried

about the pain her loved ones would go through because of her.

And...

when her surgery was not successful,

she asked one of the losers...

to turn her into an unforgivable wife.

She wanted her husband

to forget about her

and look to the future.

Mom.

And the loser...

agreed to it.

If your dad finds out,

he'll be utterly heartbroken.

Not having been able to protect your loved one...

causes lifelong remorse.

That loser...

was you, right?

Why did you do that?

That was very foolish of you.

Well, I'm not sure.

Back then,

I just had to do it.

You see,

I really liked your mom.

Even though...

it was one-sided.

So...

I am the terrible guy that seduced your mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm...

Ms. Si, I'm not interested.

I am in love with someone else.

He just can't get over his first love, can he?

Gyeong-jin.

Gyeong-jin, have you heard the rumor?

Apparently, Kang Oh-hyeok seduced a married woman

and had an affair with her some years ago.

I know.

-You do? -And now...

I'm even more smitten.

You can't fall for him.

Jinguk.

I failed,

but I think you might be able to do it.

Do what?

Can you...

persuade Hye-mi to stay?

It's fine...

even if she listens to you and not me.

Even if she says...

that the person she loves

is you, I'll be fine.

If you can get her to stay,

please do it for me.

I shouldn't keep her from leaving...

nor can I.

Hello, I'm Go Hye-mi.

Until just a year ago,

I was training to become a classical singer.

I was doing quite well for myself.

I even performed with Jo Su-mi.

To tell you the truth,

it was purely because of money

that I turned to pop music.

How could you mix Gershwin with Korean traditional pop music?

I didn't think that pop music

even deserved to be called music.

I thought it was lowly and third-rate.

I consider students

who are prejudiced third-rate.

But over the past year,

I learned that pop music can give courage to people.

Born in winter

It can make people happy as well.

You are so beautiful

I had

A dream

And I also learned

that it can bring people comfort.

Looking back,

I can now see

that I really was a prejudiced loser

back in the days when I used to look down on pop music.

I think that I have managed

to break out of my third-rate bias over the past year.

And I believe

that I can become first-rate in the near future.

That wraps up

a brief overview of Go Hye-mi's potential.

Thank you.

And when you do, don't look back

and turn that 50 percent into 100 percent.

You should do your best to prove to yourself

that you made the right decision.

Is this really goodbye?

Of course not.

You can call me whenever you want to hear my voice.

And if you still miss me, I'll come visit you in the States.

Is Sam-dong not going to say goodbye to them?

What are you thinking about?

Fifty-fifty.

Dad.

Hye-mi! Go Hye-mi!

Don't go! Please don't leave!

Hye-mi!

Don't go, please.

I beg of you.

Don't leave...

Why did you run off like that?

I kept calling out.

I'm not leaving.

I've decided to stay.

What are you saying?

I can't hear you.

I'm not leaving.

You're not leaving?

You're not leaving?

I knew it.

I know you better than you know yourself.

You can't leave.

What did you say to Hye-mi?

What did you say that she's giving up on classical singing?

I didn't say anything to her.

-You heard it yourself. -Heard what?

-I didn't hear anything. -Come on. I heard it too.

She wants to stay here and become a pop star.

Whatever.

I'm taking Hye-mi to the States, so don't try to change my mind.

Mr. Go.

How about giving Hye-mi a chance?

Who are you to butt in?

See us on stage before you disapprove of her choice.

We'll make sure we show you...

why Hye-mi chose this path.

Do you think you can just go on stage if you feel like it?

I hear most groups never even get to go on TV.

I promise you that we will.

Now, it's a team effort?

When? When will you ever get to perform on a TV show?

In a month.

We'll make it happen.

What?

-A month? -You can give us a month, right?

If we can't make our TV debut in a month,

I'll throw in the towel.

Good grief, Hye-mi.

Dad, just give them a chance, will you?

You look like the bad guy right now.

Even you, Hye-seong?

She's saying they'll make their debut in a month.

And if they can't, we'll go to the States. Right?

One month.

Yes, one month.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four. Down and forward.

Dream high a chance to fly high

Say goodbye to all the pain Fly high like the stars in the sky

Let your dreams unfold It's time for you to shine

It's just the beginning I've got to make them mine

Don't be afraid of the future You will make

You guys have to make it and rise to the top, okay?

My name is here. Look at this!

Hey! Long time no see, Mr. Seo.

Wait a minute. Aren't you the chief producer now?

I put together a hot new group.

I'm busy right now.

My gosh, Ms. Yun.

How long has it been?

You were a rookie when we first met.

Are you one of the head scripters now?

-Do I know you? -Don't you remember me?

Ma Du-sik from Paran Entertainment.

Well, I don't really remember.

Hello? Yes, Mr. Jung.

Sir.

I think you might want to change your tone.

A man must be assertive.

PRESS RELEASE, WHITE ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY

Hello, Director.

Dream High, an up-and-coming group, has just released their debut album.

We worked hard on it.

-Okay, you can leave it there. -Sure.

Please make sure you give it a listen.

-Weren't they in Group K? -Yes.

Hyun Si-hyuk, Yun Baek-hee, and Jason

joined the group.

Then they won't make it.

You should've left out Hyun Si-hyuk and Yun Baek-hee.

-Pardon? -Those two can't go on air.

It's company policy.

"Company policy"? But why?

Come on now. You know what happened.

Assault? Sexual molestation?

Their public image is awful.

The assault was done in self-defense,

and as for Baek-hee... Don't you know that she was the victim?

Well, if you say so...

But there are rumors that Yun Baek-hee seduced Mr. Yun.

That's just a groundless rumor. It's not true.

The truth is not important.

What matters is what the viewers think.

-We can do this. -If you don't take these two out,

We sure can.

Let's go!

...Dream High will never get air time.
