Just because you've seen it and heard it...

can it be done the same?

Will it be easy to imitate?

I will definitely show you.

You've taken a girl that could've been Miss Korea under my care.

And it is my sincere hope...

that you won't turn her into a hyena.

That woman that I love...

I will make sure that everyone in the world will love her.

Episode 8

[1997 Miss Seoul Pageant]

[Group 1, Contestant 5, Oh Ji Young]

Hyung Joon.

Hyung Joon!

What is it? Is it you Ji Young?

Are you awake?

- Why? Why? Why? Is there a problem? - Can I come in?

Hold on. Sure, Ji Young.

What is it? Did something happen?

I can't sleep.

Before I enter the pageant, let's do it just one more time.

That's fine but if you come in here wearing that...

We don't have that much time left!

Still what am I supposed to do if you come in here wearing that?

If we go to the pageant, it's going to be chaos!

There's no place to properly do it either.

Ah... we can't do that.

Since the time of the pageant is getting near, I can't get any sleep.

I stayed up all night.

I wore this and practiced all night.

All night?

I'm nervous!

I don't think I'll be able to walk out there.

Sure... let's do it together. We should! We should practice.

Hey, stand over there.

You're going to do it like it's the actual pageant then.

Now. Contestant 5, Miss Oh Ji Young!

Wait!

I told you... place your hands above the waist.

Ah, right.

- Here? - Yeah, right there.

Hey. The ratio between your upper and lower body.

1:1.618 is the golden ratio.

I told you that's when it looks the most beautiful.

So including wearing your heels, the 1.618 point... is slightly above the belly button.

- Here. - Yes, right there! Exactly.

Since it's there, you have to place your hands at that line

in order for it to be well-proportioned. Okay?

- Let's do it again. - Okay. Start!

Exactly. Good, good, good... good. Turn.

Also, if extremely slim girls like you want to show some volume...

when you stop at the end, stand at an angle.

- At an angle? - About 45 degrees? Okay!

You have to stand like that in order for the 'S' line to show

and it makes you look voluptuous.

I'll try it again. So place my hands on my waist...

stand at a 45 degree angle... and 'S' line.

- Yes. Good, good, good! - Did I do it well?

You did well. Hey, Ji Young. Just practice like this. There's no need to be nervous.

Hey, Kim Hyung Joon!

You used the bathroom last, right?

Hey, the toilet's plugged up and it's not working!

Hey!

Hey, open up!

Hey. You threw tissue paper in the toilet, right?

- What are you talking about? - You didn't?

No, I didn't!

You're certain?

- I told you no! - This never happened before.

Don't be nervous.

You're going to do well.

Don't ever fall again, all right?

You really don't see me as man, do you?

It's not long until your graduation, right?

It's in February.

What do you think about Great Britain?

Everything's already been prepared.

In the meantime, it's a master's course

but if you want to get a doctorate degree then that's fine, too.

I hear the view is pretty nice over there.

It's a big enough place for you and mother to live.

The reason you wanted to see me after two years...

is you want...

mom and me to disappear from this country?

To spend Christmas holiday in Great Britain... is not a bad idea.

Plan to leave... next week.

I still have my thesis to write. Next week is impossible.

It's not long until the presidential election.

I have to win this one, in order to look forward to the next one.

So that your and your mom's lives...

have not been in vain from hiding all these years.

If you force me to leave...

I'm not going to keep quiet.

If only...

Your agenda, sir.

Mom and me...

being your mistress and your hidden daughter... afraid the world might find out...

you know very well that I lived my life, not making any friends or going to any meetings.

While you were completing your third term, nothing in particular happened.

I'll leave after I finish my thesis.

Before Christmas.

Since you're a clever child, I'll trust you.

That promise... make sure you keep it.

Okay.

The election... I'll pray that you win.

This Christmas... for me and for you...

it will be quite special.

For every candidate, there will be three chaperones.

Hair, makeup, and a body trainer.

For the bare face and swimsuit competition, the best staff

will be your hands and feet today.

Don't think of it as getting judged.

But think of it as becoming a queen.

I'm saying, don't be nervous and enjoy it.

In that way, your body will feel light and your walking will feel light.

Your face will glow.

Compared to what other salons have learned, we...

are at a different level!

Our objective?

- Miss Seoul! - First, second, third!

Our objective?

- Miss Korea '97. - First, second, third!

Our objective... is to take it all!

- Are you ready? - Yes!

- Now. Who is Miss Korea? - Queen! Queen! Queen! Queen!

[Acceptance Ticket]

Hand over our sample.

I said hand it over!

Hey! What's up with the mood, huh?

Hey, don't worry! This is all going to turn out fine. Don't worry. It's going to be fine.

Hey, sing for us. Seriously, this atmosphere...

Working the bean field...

Hey, what's wrong with you? Why have you become so nervous?

Relax your face or smile. It's going to look forced.

- A-E-I-O-U. - You've gotten really stiff!

- I'm going crazy. - A-E-I-O-U.

Hey, crank up the heat, will you?

Only the air conditioner works in this car.

We'll be taking the candidates' measurements first

and start the first round of judging the bare face.

According to your group and number, please follow our staff's instructions.

Please take off your shoes and step on.

96! 97! 98! 99!

One more time! Do it one more time and you'll gain two inches!

One hundred!

Thirty three inches.

Now child... think of your chest turning into a big balloon and blow.

Thirty five inches.

What's wrong with your complexion?

Did you not go to the bathroom?

Did you see someone you hate?

Straighten your waist.

Thirty six inches.

Bravo! I'm not even worried about you. Do whatever you want.

- Wow. - Thirty seven inches.

34-24-34. The measurement that's going to be open at the pageant.

I found out that it's measured with all the underwear and padding on.

- They said it's allowed. - Really?

- Thirty two inches. - Thirty inches.

- Excuse me, but aren't I thirty two inches? - Thirty inches is correct.

- Please measure it one more time. - Then take that padding out.

It's not in the rules. Everyone else has it on, too.

Yes. That's why everyone has been measured two inches less.

You're... saying that no one has it on right now?

If the rules are not upheld, the participant will have to forfeit.

Will you participate?

- The length of your face is 21.1 cm. - 23.2 cm.

No, it's not.

- Your height is 171.... - 0.7 cm.

Height is 170.5 cm.

Your proportion is a 8:1:1 ratio.

Oh Ji Young, 7:3:1 ratio.

- Excuse me! - Next.

- Hey, how did it go? - Was everything measured?

Hey, what happened?

It's different from what we measured.

- I don't know. - Your more than well proportioned! Why?...

is the ratio 7.3? What happened?

They measured the length of my face 2 cm longer.

- Did your chin grow overnight? What is this? - Your chest was 32 inches, why 30 inches?

- Did you measure with the padding? - I did and I asked to be measured again...

- I don't know. They're measuring it strange. - I don't know about this...

Of course I told them.

- I'm going crazy! - What is this?

Hey, who was it? Who was it?

- I don't know. - Hey President Kim, see me for a moment.

Why? Let go of me! What now?

- Get your act together. - What?

This is a battlefield.

This is not child's play.

This isn't a pageant that just chooses a pretty woman.

I know! I know that!

Let's do whatever it takes to win this.

- Us, too. - Us, too?

If you continue to be stupidly honest, you'll be last.

Isn't it the end if you lose here?

I wish you...

With you...

What?

If we lose... don't you just have to hand our sample over somewhere?

I want to live a long time... on good terms...

with you.

[Acceptance Ticket]

Brat! She didn't listen and did it anyway!

- What is it? Ji Young didn't go job hunting? - What happened?

She said she wouldn't but she completely fooled us!

What's wrong with your daughter, son?

You and I aren't strong enough to overtake Ji Young.

In the meantime, let's all of us go and bring her home. We can convince her later.

- Let's hurry! - Let's go!

Let's go, Father.

Gather, all of you.

For now, we got screwed over with the measurements.

Since we don't have anything, just accept their sneers in this business.

Whether it's good or bad, let's follow what they're doing no matter what, okay?

- What Queen and Cherry salon is doing? - Yeah.

- Even the bad things? - Yeah!

Okay! Then Hwa Jung, take a good look at what they're doing.

Like taking a picture with a camera, soak everything in with your eyes!

You can probably get all the know-how's in the dressing room.

That's right.

You got this!

- Welcome! - Ah, yes.

Please come up to my office for a moment.

Is there something you have to tell me?

It's the first time we're getting sponsored by a foreign company.

Can you do me a favor and be part of the judges' panel at the final round?

I'll think about it. Excuse me then.

Good job! Hey! don't mess around. Do it like this.

You have to do it like this!

Like this!

Goodness. Blow a little bit more.

You're doing well! Oh, that won't do. You have to do it a little harder.

No pain, no gain.

Alright, for the bare face examination, makeup is not allowed

so you must not put anything on.

Not even your eyelashes. Now. We'll be heading to the examination room.

Fighting! Let's go.

Let's hurry.

What is it, Hwa Jung?

Let's go.

Director, we need to hurry. Soon...

Everyone, grab one.

- What is this Director? - Is it something good for the body?

Drink it. It won't harm your body.

- What is this? - It tastes weird.

- It tastes weird, Director. - What is it?

Director!

So it's not you guys.

Ta-da! How is it? You can't tell, right?

I'll put it on for you, too. Close your eyes.

But it's a bare face examination.

You brat, don't be such a wuss.

If you get caught, just say, 'I'm sorry, I won't do it again,' and smile. 'Waikiki!'

They won't spit at a smiling face.

Close your eyes.

It'd be great if you and I make it for sure. Right?

I know. Me, first. You, second. How nice would that be?

Well, the other way around would be nice, too.

Don't laugh! It's going to be crooked!

It must've been very hard to get this year's pageant to continue.

Thanks to everyone, we were able to pull it off.

Yes, we're contestant number 5, Oh Ji Young's team.

At the time of the body measurements, it seemed we weren't given fair treatment.

We will no longer stand around and let it go.

Excuse me?

- Look here. - We would like to have her measured again.

And with the bare face examination, let us directly go in.

We would like to see for ourselves whether or not the examination is being run fairly.

How do we know the candidates' caretaker's won't start something?

There are no repeated measurements.

Then let the reporters here... check for themselves directly.

What intentions would the reporters have?

All they'll do is write fair articles.

That is against the rules.

We'll be quiet like the air and just silently observe.

Just who are the rules set up for?

If you're confident then there's no reason why the reporters can't go in, isn't that right?

- That's right. - Of course.

The cameras are going to be in the front and back.

And their names are on the line, while their scores are open to the reporters.

At the least, we can't let the judges give Ji Young an unfair score.

- Hello. - Yes.

All the wealthy children's traditional gowns... you know I'm introducing them to you, right?

Don't you know that you can't put foundation on?

Director, all my girls have red nail polish on. You know that, right?

Don't you know that you can't have anything on?

Hello, my name is Kim Jae Hee, contestant number 3.

She's from a wealthy family... and she has an academic background.

You know how to look at art, right?

- Miss Shin Sun Young? - Yes.

President, my girls have red nail polish on.

I didn't look at the scores.

Your teeth are arranged quite neatly, it's very nice.

Thank you.

Do you have any regrets?

No, I don't.

I am sorry for what I've done to you, Director.

There's no need to be sorry.

Do your best without any regrets.

I'll do the same.

Is this yours?

No, it's not.

When you're posing from the back

sweep your hair in front of your shoulder so you can show the lines of your back.

Hurry up!

- Miss Seoul's bare face inspection has ended. - Where? Where?

In 30 minutes, the second round swimsuit competition will begin.

- The swimsuit competition? - Oh my goodness!

They're going to wear swimsuits! Hurry and find her! Hurry!

Hurry and find her, before she wears the swimsuit!

- Goodness, I'm dizzy! - How are we going to find her in this place?

That way! Is it that way?

- People are going this way. - I think it's that way.

Sun Joo, inhale one more time.

Good! Good!

Wow! Bravo! A total work of art!

Sun Joo, your figure is like an hourglass!

Even if you're having a hard time breathing

and your flesh feels like it's going to fall off by peeling the tape off later...

just be a little patient. Okay, baby?

The prize is just around the corner. Understand?

Now, then. Pass!

The butt needs to go up! Higher!

Maker sure the butt reaches as high to the waist as possible.

You, make sure you put the tape on properly. Not like last time when the tape was showing.

- Yes. - Now, tape it. Pass!

Bend over. Now, gather the flesh of your back and stomach and lift it towards the chest!

Exactly! Tape!

Okay!

Endure it just a little.

Done!

Forget 34 inches!

What Director Ma did for 5 million won, I did it just for 500 won.

Pass.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Just because you stand out, being a calendar girl on a wall at some bar is prohibited.

You may have run away but you were the first to do a catwalk in the subway.

You did it in the subway, shouldn't this be a piece of cake for you?

Stand up.

Is having wide shoulders something to brag about?

Towards the inside as much as possible. You want to make it look smaller.

- Fix it. - Yes, ma'am.

Her side view is pretty so we need to show her legs more. Over here, too.

- Raise it up to here. - Yes, ma'am

Her butt hole is going to eat the swimsuit.

Let's see here.

What brings you here?

Ji Young's not picking up her phone.

I thought if I came here, I would be able to see her.

- Here, put this on. - Watch out for her hair.

- What brings you here? - You look pretty.

A lot more than I imagined.

What do you think of our Ji Young? She looks like a winner, right?

Seeing her like this, doesn't it make you want to invest?

She's perfect...

if you take out one thing.

In the swimsuit competition, you can't wear any accessories...

but they say earrings are allowed.

We did feel like something was missing.

All the other girls had earrings on.

That's great then!

It's all right.

It's not expensive so don't feel burdened.

Since you're participating, you might as well go out looking as pretty as possible.

In that way you can win.

Hey, Thanks Yoon. We didn't even think about something like this.

What are you doing? Accept it, it's pretty.

Thanks.

- Should I put it on for you? - No. I can do it.

How do I look?

You look pretty.

Thanks, Yoon.

I'm hearing you be more familiar often these days.

Don't fall today. Good luck.

Miss cigarette shop girl.

- Where? Where? - Over there.

Over there... I think she might be over here.

- Isn't that Ji Young? - I don't think she is.

- Is that her? - No!

Get yourself together! Wake up!

The style of the hair and swimsuits are all the same.

Ah, wait... her cell phone!

- Ji Young has a cell phone now! - That's right!

Let's call her!

Payphone! I saw a payphone over there a little while ago

- Sure. - Let's go!

Stairs, stairs! Watch out for the stairs.

- Hey, what are you doing right now? - This is effective in lifting up the chest.

You're not embarrassed?

I'm going on stage wearing a swimsuit. Is this a big deal?

I'm not embarrassed at all.

- Hurray! - Oh Ji Young, Hurray!

- Hurray! - Wait, wait!

Oh Ji Young...

- Who is it? - I don't know.

- Hello? - Hey!

You brat! Where are you right now?

- Where do you think? I'm at the library. - What?

You little brat! Where do you get off lying?

Ji Young! Speak the truth!

- What Grandpa? - It's your grandpa?

You... why are you so breathless? Where are you right now?

- The swimsuit competition will begin. - It's nothing. I'll see you tonight.

Will the candidates please gather behind the stage.

Grandpa... right now... I can't.... on the phone...

Hey, Grandpa! It's me Hyung Joon. We're in a hurry so we'll get yelled at home later. Sorry!

- Hey, Ji Young... Ji Young! - I'm sorry!

Hurry it up! Hurry!

- What did she say? - Did she hang up?

- Now what? Let's hurry and find her! - Sure, let's go!

Grandpa!

- Mom! - You...

- Goodness, Father! - Ji Young.

Did you...

put this swimsuit on her?

You're the one that made Ji Young enter this pageant?

Well... I... the thing is...

Yes. I... asked Ji Young... to enter the Miss Korea pageant.

Why?

Why would you make Ji Young do such an immoral thing?

Unless you planned on preventing her from getting married.

Even when you broke her heart in high school, this little brat...

she would cry every day in her room, not wanting to come out.

Why did you show up and have her go up on stage half naked in front of men?

- Well... I... - Uncle.

Am I a child?

I'm the one that asked him for help.

Mom! It's not like that!

Shut your mouth and let's go.

I'm wearing a swimsuit because I want to get hired!

Next year, even if I wanted to wear this swimsuit, I can't, Grandpa!

This kind of swimsuit, you don't have to ever wear it!

Let's go home, okay? Unless I get married, I'll feed and clothe you!

Don't go up there looking like this, please!

Let go!

I can hear your mom scolding me all the way from heaven, you brat!

Because I don't have the ability, because I haven't taught you a lot...

and making you do something like this... she's cursing at me!

If I really had a mom, I wouldn't even be doing this!

What does a man acting like a mom know about a daughter's heart?

Acting like my mom, do you think we're both women? Do you really think you're my mom?

What?

You brat! Saying things that you shouldn't say! How dare you speak to your mom that way!

We don't have time, Grandpa.

You punk! Let go! Let go!

- Are you all right? - What are you guys doing? Hurry and take her!

- No! No! - Let's go! Let's go home!

- Ji Young has to go on stage! - Come on!

Grandpa.

Mom.

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Really?

I'll go home.

Hey, Ji Young.

- Let's go, let's go. - Teacher Jung! Take care of them!

- That punk! - Hey!

- Who's this stupid idiot? - Sir! You can't go!

Move punk!

- Hey, what is this! - Let go!

The swimsuit competition will start soon. Will the candidates please gather behind the stage.

The swimsuit competition is about to start.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

- Hurry up! - Come on!

- Shoes? - Yeah, hurry!

Put mine on.

Is it all right?

Let's go!

It's not one of my girls.

And it's not Oh Ji Young.

Then...

Good luck.

Will the candidate gather behind the stage please.

Are you okay?

Go in.

I would like to make an announcement.

To shine light on this event

the head of the election poll committee of the ruling party

Congressman Kim Suk Chul, has graced us with his presence.

Please give a round of applause!

Let's sit over there.

So this is where you were.

We have something to say to you.

- What? - Why? Are you curious?

Go out and you'll know.

- Just be quiet and go out. - Go out.

I said go out!

Hey! What are you guys doing?

You acted all sweet to Director Ma and then you betrayed her.

- Is it the judges this time? - Move!

- Hey! - Where do you think you're going?

- Hey! - Grab a hold of her.

- Stay still! - Let go!

- Hey! Give it! I said hand it over! - Stay still!

- I said stay still. - Hey!

Now, let's see if you can become Miss Korea.

Starting now, the 1997 Miss Korea pageant will begin!

1997 Miss Seoul pageant. We will now meet the 50 candidates.

This is the first contestant!

Contestant number 1, Miss Choi Soo Yeon!

- She's from the subway, right? - Right, right, right!

Weight is 50 kg. 34-24-35.

It's the next contestant, right?

It is contestant number 2!

Miss Shin Sun Young!

24 years old. Height is 172.4 cm.

Weight is 52.9 kg. 35-23-36.

Just like that! Look at the audience. Very good!

Pose! No! No! No! A little more to the side. It's making your shoulders look wide!

No! The opposite way! Oh, that brat! Oh, that blockhead!

Next is contestant number 3. Miss Kim Jae Hee.

- 24 years old. Height 171.9 cm. - Is she not feeling well?

Weight is 51.9 kg. 36-24-36.

Yes, that was contestant number 3, Miss Kim Jae Hee.

Next, contestant number 4, Miss Im Sun Joo.

22 years old. Height is 171.1 cm. Weight is 51 kg. 37-25-36.

Yes! My baby is doing so well!

Just like that! Strength to your butt! Good!

- Chun Ja. - Yes?

Sit down.

Oh, sorry.

Next is contestant number 5, Miss Oh Ji Young!

Oh Ji Young is 25 years old, height is 170.5 cm and weight is 50...

Son, I think I've lived for too long.

I can't believe she's my daughter. I ate seaweed soup after she was born.

Four men couldn't even stop that brat! What is this?

What are we going to do with her?

What is this? Hwa Jung.

Did Ji Young not use any padding?

No! We put it in right before she went on stage.

Then why does she look like that?

Hey, do you think she got jumped by the other contestants?

Instead of Miss Korea contestants, maybe they're a bunch of back alley thugs.

What kind of wench would do that to our Ji Young!

Father! Please come down.

Yes, we've met contestant number 5.

This is the next contestant. Contestant number 6, Park Kot Nim.

- Everything else is perfect... - I know. Her chest... was lacking.

The lower part of her body is long and legs and arms look amazing.

She placed first at the bare face examination. What shall we do?

Let's add up the scores again for the swimsuit and bare face competition.

- Sure. - That's fine.

Next is contestant number 7, Miss Cha Yun Joo.

23 years old...

A regional pageant unfolding into the '97 Miss Korea pageant...

'97 Miss Seoul pageant.

Among the 50 contestants, 5 finalists will be chosen for the first, second, and third place.

We will announce them by their names.

Congratulations Choi Soo Yeon, Kim Jae Hee, Shin Sun Young, Oh Ji Young

and Miss Im Sun Joo. Please come forward.

Among these contestants, only three will make it to the final round.

Miss Seoul, first, second and third

were chosen by the added scores of both the bare face and swimsuit competitions.

I will now announce the judges' decision.

I will announce the second runner up, first.

1997 Miss Seoul, second runner up!

Contestant number 1, Miss Choi Soo Yeon!

First place is too selfish, right? Still, she'll at least get second place, right?

Let's just think happy thoughts.

- Next is first runner up, yes? - Yes.

1997 Miss Seoul, first runner up!

The contestant that will have that honor...

Contestant number 3, Miss Kim Jae Hee!

- Congratulations! - Bravo! Bravo!

She has become Miss Seoul's first runner up.

Now, the first place winner is all that's left.

Yes.

The last person will wear the winner's crown

but the last two contestants will not move forward to the Miss Korea pageant.

Now then... I will make the announcement!

The winner of Miss Seoul 1997...

The winner is...

Contestant...

number 4, Miss Im Sun Joo!

Oh, yes!

I'm so proud of you, my baby! You're the best!

You're better than my husband.

Once again, congratulations.

Miss Shin Sun Young and Miss Oh Ji Young were both tied at fourth place.

Please give a round of applause to the fourth place contestants.

The game is already over, is there still something to ponder about?

You said it was the price of Kim Hyung Joon's life.

Are you threatening me? Or are you trying to make a deal?

Haven't you come to realize now that there is no hope for ViVi?

Why don't you hand over the sample now?

My office...

is always open.

Director Ma, it's been awhile.

Reporter, please give Miss Seoul my congratulations.

Ah, yes. I'll do that.

You were drinking...

malt water, weren't you?

Take a look. Isn't our badge pretty?

Ah, that brat really knows how to bother you!

One Kool please.

With the left over money... let's go on a date.

I don't have any change to give you.

Next?

Do it again.

- Oh, oh, oh, my love! - Oh, oh, oh, my love!

Open the windows while the wind is blowing!

If you pour me a drink...

I could become your sponsor.

Don't be embarrassed of me.

Of course not!

Even if I become an elevator girl after graduation?

You look pretty.

A lot more than I imagined.

How is it?

Don't fall today. Good luck.

We've met contestant number 5.

This is the next contestant. Contestant number two, Miss Shin Sun Young.

- Oh Ji Young! - Oh Ji Young!

November 5th, 1987.

Today was another very long day.

It rained in the afternoon and in the evening it snowed.

Goodness, like a lie we had to use an umbrella in the afternoon.

In the evening, you could turn on the furnace and make a snowman.

Then should we say it rained or snowed today?
