Now, the only the two final contestants are left.

Will both of you please step forward?

Now, number 25, Miss Oh Ji Young, and number 27, Miss Kim Jae Hee, are the only ones left.

Among the two, one will be the winner and the other will be the first runner up.

Now, as soon as I announce the winner

you know that the other contestant will automatically become first runner up, yes?

Yes, I do know.

Now, when I announce it, you must not get confused.

- Yes, I understand. - Alright.

We started with 52 contestants on this stage today and now only two are left.

I'm curious to know how they feel.

Miss Kim Jae Hee, how do you feel?

I'm very happy.

I know I lack many things, but thank you so much for helping me make it this far.

Yes, she described her feelings very clearly.

And I wonder how the other contestant is feeling right now.

Miss Oh Ji Young, how do you feel right now?

Yes, it seems she is very nervous. She is having a difficult time talking.

Miss Oh Ji Young, it seems like a lot of your supporters are here.

Would you like to take this opportunity to say something to them?

Oh Ji Young!

After I graduated from high school

I got hired right away

and worked as an elevator girl for seven years at a department store.

In some ways, working in that small elevator helped me to stand where I am today.

Even when I stood for three hours

my legs were less shaky than the other contestants

and smiling was less painful as well.

To me, Miss Korea is just as serious and difficult a position as an elevator girl.

I believe it to be a position where I must work hard to earn it.

I don't think of Miss Korea as just wearing pretty clothes and prettily smiling.

If you continue to support me until the very end

I promise not to disappoint you as Miss Korea.

Yes, Miss Oh Ji Young's determination is quite amazing and beautiful.

Now, I will go ahead and ask Miss Kim Jae Hee.

Miss Kim Jae Hee, what was your reason for entering this year's pageant?

The reason for entering the Miss Korea pageant is...

to confidently inform the world of my existence.

My mother and I had to live our lives as someone's mistress and daughter.

- But I will not hide anymore. - What is she talking about?

So I plan to confidently reveal who my father is from this position.

- What is she talking about? - What is this?

My father is...

My father is...

Congressman Kim Seok Chul.

- Kim Seok Chul? Kim Seok Chul... - Wait.

Oh my gosh! If it's Congressman Kim Seok Chul...

he's the one that's running for president!

- Oh my gosh, Madame! - Director, did you know?

Oh my goodness, what is this?

Isn't he part of the National Assembly?

Seriously?

I have something to say to my father.

Well... since we're on live television, please make it short.

I know that you're going through a difficult time these days.

But I... believe you are more honest and confident than anyone I know.

And to Director Ma Ae Ri, thank you so much for helping me to be where I am today.

Even if I did not become Miss Korea, I have no regrets in making this choice.

Thank you for listening.

Yes. Oh my, yes.

- That was really amazing. - You finally put it out there.

Whoever becomes the winner of Miss Korea

this year's winner, out of all the previous winners, will be remembered as the most

honest and lively.

Now everyone, the two contestants

may be smiling right now but how nervous they must be.

Please give them another big round of applause.

Now the final results are in my hand.

I will now announce the results.

The winner of Miss Korea 1997!

Contestant number...

- 25, Miss Oh Ji Young! - Wow! Really?

Who do you think will be the winner?

- I swear! - What the!

Ah, yes.

- Is he trying to kill someone? - I know!

Please bear with me.

Now, I will announce the result for real.

The winner of Miss Korea 1997!

Contestant number...

27, Miss Kim Jae Hee!

I hear you hope to be an anchorwoman someday, how about announcing the results directly?

- Is he messing around right now? - This is not the mood to be joking, okay?

Ah yes. I thought it would be a lot of fun but everyone is just getting flustered.

Yes well, I've postponed long enough.

I will no longer torture you two and I will really announce the results this time.

Yes.

The winner of Miss Korea 1997!

That person is...

contestant number twenty...

five, second runner up of Miss Seoul, Miss Oh Ji Young! Congratulations!

Really? Really?

I should've grabbed her! Seriously!

Miss Kim Jae Hee is the first runner up.

Miss Oh Ji Young, please wait for a moment while we give the award to Miss Kim Jae first.

Please step forward.

Miss Kim Jae Hee

the last year's first runner up of Miss Korea will be transferring the crown over to you.

The first runner up of Miss Korea will receive 15 million won

and a diamond necklace from Shin Young Corporation.

The crown will now be transferred over.

Yes. Once again, congratulations.

Now we will award the winner.

Last year's winner of Miss Korea, Miss Song Kyung Mi, will do the honors.

To the shining winner of Miss Korea 1997, Miss Oh Ji Young.

The sash is being personally placed on her.

To the winner of Miss Korea, Miss Oh Ji Young, she will receive 20 million won

and a diamond crown from Shin Young Corporation.

She also has the right to enter the Miss Universe Pageant in May of next year

representing Korea. Once again congratulations.

The mantle has been placed on her shoulders and she now has the scepter in her hands.

And she has received her bouquet of flowers.

Lastly... she will bear the crown that only the winner of Miss Korea can wear.

Yes.

The crown is shining brightly from her head.

Wow! Miss Oh Ji Young, the crown suits you well.

I think you can express how happy you are at this moment.

Who would you like to share this happiness with?

I would like to thank my grandpa, mom, and uncle

for raising me to be more beautiful than anyone else.

What about me? Why you...

And...

To the one with no money, power or knowledge...

for just accepting me for who I am and telling me that I'm the prettiest girl in the world.

To the ones who encouraged and supported me...

ViVi Cosmetics' Kang Woo, Hong Sam, Hwa Jung, and Teacher Jung... thank you.

None of you are here today, but I'm...

standing on this stage wearing the BB cream you personally made.

Can you see me?

Where are you?

Why didn't you come?

I miss all of you right now.

When Hyung Joon first asked me to enter the Miss Korea pageant

you don't know how much my heart was pounding.

When I grabbed this man's hand... I didn't feel like I would become Miss Korea.

But I kept wanting to hold his hand and give it a chance.

You have no idea how hard I tried to hold it in.

To Hyung Joon... who came back again and gave me this huge gift...

I deeply thank you.

And I thank you again.

Thank you so much.

I will never forget this night.

Thank you.

Yes, she should be nervous and dazed, but

she said everything she wanted to say. What a delightful young lady she is.

Now, the victory walk of this year's winner of Miss Korea will now begin. Walk!

Since you and I both lost the winner of Miss Korea, we're even.

Sure. You're right.

How is Miss BaDa and winning the first and second runners up of the finals the same?

I'm saying we're even because we both lost the winner of Miss Korea! Stop annoying me!

The Miss Korea 1997 Beauty Pageant

has come to a conclusion after three hours of live broadcast.

To the viewers who stayed with us to the very end, thank you.

The winner of Miss Korea 1997, Miss Oh Ji Young.

From now on, please watch over her with affection.

It's a beautiful night! Ladies and gentlemen, thank you!

What is it?

You even turned in your resignation.

You're unemployed now.

Doesn't that apply to you as well?

Are you hurt anywhere?

What am I going to do now?

I wonder if there's any place that's hiring researchers.

What about Hyung Joon?

He went to the Miss Korea pageant.

Seeing how everything is quiet, we probably lost.

Was there anything that we did that worked out?

- Look this way! - Look this way please!

- Look this way please! - That looks great!

- Look this way! - Look this way please!

You're quite a sight.

- We placed first. - I know.

Are you rubbing it in?

I'm sorry.

What a way to tease someone.

What have you been doing all day to be acting all arrogant like this?

Ji Young was running around all over the place without anyone to help her all day.

As a man, just what on earth have you done for her?

You declared to make her into Miss Korea and you couldn't even hold her bags for her.

You made her look all over for you today.

And now that she's finally the winner, you want to rub it in my face like that?

You have no right.

From what I see, you just got lucky. Don't you think so?

Tell me the truth.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I'm sorry.

But you're jealous right now.

This is crazy.

Why do I even bother?

Being a man, do you want to show up in front of the star in those clothes and demeanor?

As soon as the reporters leave, I'm going to show myself to Ji Young.

Even if I'm in this condition... she won't hate it.

So you know women a lot better than me?

- Are these Ji Young's? - Yeah.

Let's not have Ji Young sell cigarettes in the store anymore.

Of course, absolutely! Have you ever seen a winner of Miss Korea sell cigarettes?

But she's in charge of changing the pastry container and the fireplace every night.

- Who's going to that? - You little punk!

Have you ever seen a winner of Miss Korea changing briquettes before?

Then what about cleaning the bathroom?

Father! Have you ever seen a winner of Miss Korea clean the toilet before?

Then who's going to do all that from now on?

I have to do it?

Then should I do it?

You scared me!

- Hey, someone might see! - Who cares?

Hey, let me see the face of Miss Korea!

- I'm not going to show you! - Let me see!

Why aren't you asking?

About what?

What I did all day today.

'Just what the heck have you been doing all day to show up right now?'

'I was going nuts all day by myself.'

'Are you out of your mind to leave me alone like that?' Why aren't you asking?

You knew all that but you still did it. So there must've been a good enough reason.

You've become much more understanding after winning first place.

You think so?

Hey, Ji Young.

Congratulations.

Congratulations on your birthday

and even more congratulations on becoming Miss Korea.

I'm so proud of you!

I think so, too.

And thanks.

Hyung Joon. Let's just go out like this.

Right now, I want to play and celebrate with you.

How can we go out like this? Everyone's going to stare at us.

What's wrong with your face?

Did you get beaten up again?

No, I was just fooling around with Teacher Jung and I got hurt.

Am I an idiot? You were fooling around and this happened to your face?

The factory was really busy.

We had so many orders coming in that it was unbelievably hectic.

That's why no one knew. I'm sorry.

It was those people last time that did it again.

Hey.... you're the happiest woman in Korea.

Do you think there's any woman that's happier than you right now?

Just...

let me congratulate you.

Don't let me become a downer to the happiest woman in Korea...

and just let me congratulate you.

Can I do that?

This time is too precious to even congratulate you! Just what is this?

Let's go.

I'm sorry, Director.

Do you feel a little better now?

Pardon?

Now that you told the world who your father is, do you feel better?

I'm not sure.

In any case...

my pride was hurt when you came in second place. What should I do?

I'm sorry.

You're hungry, right?

Thank you.

Thank you, Director.

You did well.

- Did you eat? - No.

You were sitting here.

I heard about ViVi Cosmetic's bankruptcy.

Kim Hyung Joon held on for no reason, didn't he?

That business could've survived.

That's if I didn't twist their necks.

I don't buy businesses that could die if left alone.

BB cream... BaDa Cosmetics is interested in it. Is there any way...

I'll give you a call.

I'm so happy!

Hyung Joon.

Did you make a lot of BB cream?

Starting tomorrow, it's going to sell well. Make a lot more.

I'll help you sell a lot of BB cream.

Let me play a part in saving the company.

I'm so happy that I can be a model for your company!

Let's shoot an advertisement for the BB cream tomorrow.

I'm not just Oh Ji Young now. I'm Miss Korea winner Oh Ji Young.

Don't you think it will be a bit more help to you?

- The model fee is... - The model fee?

- Free of charge. - There's no such thing as free.

You should get paid properly at a high price.

- How much are you going to give me? - How much do you want?

I can't believe a day like this came. It doesn't feel real.

I can't believe it either. Today. Everything.

Even if I do this?

- Even if I do this? - That hurts!

Right now, the woman who's sitting right in front of you is the winner of Miss Korea 1997.

- Does it feel real? - It doesn't feel real.

Today, in Korea... your face was on live broadcast until the very end.

By tomorrow morning

every newspaper will have you on their front page crying and wearing a crown.

From now on... you might not be able to comfortably go around as you please.

Tonight is your last chance.

The things that you want to do, let's do it all tonight.

I'll make it all come true.

Just say it. Anything you want.

It's my punishment for not being with you at the finals. Whatever you want.

Are you thinking about it?

Hyung Joon, the BB cream is actually pretty nice.

It feels like I have no makeup on. It goes on well and it's comfortable to use.

When it gets out into the market, it's going to be a hit.

Since I used it and as a woman, I can guarantee it.

Even if I wasn't your model, the BB cream

is without a doubt a great makeup that will be a huge hit.

So be strong, President Kim.

What is this? Why are you suddenly going into comfort mode when it's your day?

Who cares?

I'm the winner of Miss Korea now.

I'll take you home.

Get in.

Let's go see a movie.

It sounds good.

Let's all pray together now. Please close your eyes.

Oh Lord, thank you.

Grandpa!

Winner of Miss Korea!

- Winner of Miss Korea! - Winner of Miss Korea!

You're going to wake up the neighbors! Why haven't you guys gone to bed?

Hey, you think we'd be able to fall asleep, you brat?

Congratulations!

Where the heck has he been all this time? Why is he always getting beat up?

- Winner of Miss Korea! - Winner of Miss Korea!

[Miss Korea 1997 Beauty Pageant Prize Money]

You can have it all, Mom.

What is this?

- It can't be! - Is it prize money?

All of it?

Wow!

Father.

Just how much is this?

This is the first time I've ever seen a check like this, Father.

- Let me see. - Wow!

- Wow! - What?

But if you give this to us, what about you? You're going to need the money as Miss Korea.

You can have all of it, Mom.

Since you've worked so hard to raise me, this money is all yours.

Spend it however you want with Grandpa.

- Winner of Miss Korea! - Winner of Miss Korea!

I can't believe this!

I better sleep.

I'm the winner!

Teacher Jung!

What the heck are you doing out this late?

Ji Young...

won Miss Korea.

She did well, right?

Of course... she did well.

I guess there is some good news today.

When all day we've been to told just die.

It turned out well.

Are you jealous?

Because you got destroyed and your woman got wings on her back?

Because I feel uneasy.

Hey!

A man that doesn't let a woman enjoy herself as much as she wants. Is that a man?

I mean do you know how amazing it is to be the winner of Miss Korea?

Not anyone can do it.

We really worked hard for it, but

she couldn't get excited because she was trying to see what kind of situation I was in.

I felt...

really strange inside.

And I was walking on eggshells, too.

That's why... I'm thinking maybe I should be the one to break up with her first.

As soon as possible, on my own.

It's not like I even prepared a proper congratulatory gift for her either.

I thought it might be best if a fool like me should just

disappear from her life so I packed my bags and left. I'm complete fool, right?

- I need a place to stay. - I don't have a room, punk.

Especially for you.

I don't have money and I don't have a house. Soon everyone's going to slowly find out.

I don't even have a car to go on dates.

Despite all that... a man doesn't have a job.

What right do I have to stay as her boyfriend? Don't you think so?

You don't want to break up with her.

Inside your heart.

And Oh Ji Young doesn't want to break up with you either.

So don't try to act all cool and say you want to break up for her sake.

You're just going to hurt her.

Hurt?

Breaking up for the sake of a woman's future is all just a lie!

Because of your inferiority complex, are you going to break up with her

because you think she can't enjoy being the winner of Miss Korea?

No.

And let Oh Ji Young be the one to break up with you.

'This fool of a man is really embarrassing!'

If she can't take it anymore, she'll be the one to say it to you.

'Let's not see each other anymore.'

Let Ji Young break up with you, okay?

Hey.

Just because you feel like you should break up with her

don't pour salt over a girl that's supposed to be feeling great right now.

ViVi's gone bankrupt.

If you come out like this, oh yeah!

I'm sure she'll be jumping around with joy living happily ever after!

Just stay by her side!

Then should I act more confident?

Should I even yell at her?

Should I act like a proper boyfriend?

I really want to.

That's how you feel inside.

Because of your inferiority complex.

Well, it doesn't matter. That's your problem!

That's what you have to do to be a man!

Saying that you want to break up with her for her sake, that's not great.

It's worthless.

You're really cool today.

- Hyung Joon. - Ji Young.

- What's that? - Oh, it's nothing.

Hey, are you going somewhere?

I have to appear in a live morning show.

Since you don't have a car, let's go together.

No! You have to work and I don't like to make you do these things.

Now that Miss Korea is over, don't be concerned with these things anymore, okay?

No. Let's go together.

I said it's fine!

[Live Good Morning Today]

Are you nervous?

You'll do well, don't worry.

- Hello. - Hello.

This is Miss Oh Ji Young, winner of Miss Korea.

- It's nice to meet you. - It's nice to meet you.

Wow! Since you've applied your makeup lightly, you look more pretty today than yesterday.

Congratulations. I'm in your hands now.

Yes.

After watching the Miss Korea pageant, everyone has been talking about you.

Every program is dying to have you on their show.

But who... are you?

Perhaps the manager?

- No... - Ah yes! I am the manager.

I'm Miss Oh Ji Young's manager, please take care of me.

Hello! Congratulations. You must've had a tough time getting here.

Go and get some refreshments.

- Please come this way. - Sure.

The manager can wait here.

- I'll put some makeup on you. - Sure.

- Does the dress fit all right? - Yes.

Congratulations on becoming the winner of Miss Korea. Let me touch up on your hair.

You have such lovely skin.

This is so awkward. Everyone is being so good to me.

You'll get used to it right away.

Don't be nervous. Go.

When did this run?

Excuse me. You're Miss Ji Young's manager, right?

Ah, yes.

I'm sorry but will you go and buy me stockings?

My manager couldn't make it today.

I need it in a coffee color and please hurry, we'll be shooting soon.

And I don't need the change. I'm counting on you.

Yes.

[Winner of Miss Korea 1997, Oh Ji Young!]

What did she talk about? It's all about the BB cream.

'Thanks to the BB cream? Just what is the BB cream?'

'Winner of Miss Korea, Oh Ji Young!'

But what's the point?

The BB cream isn't ours anymore.

To save the company, we went through all that trouble to turn Ji Young into Miss Korea.

Why is our life like this?

I'm going to call Ji Young and at least congratulate her.

Hello?

Hyung Joon!

She's in a meeting with the broadcast people. It's taking longer than expected.

After we go to the committee's office, I'm going to see Yoon.

I'm going to meet him and find a solution.

I have a plan... so don't worry so much.

A celebration party for Ji Young?

Why did you come out so early?

President Hwang took our promissory note so our debt will be paid.

Teacher Jung.

There's no need for you to come to our company anymore.

What... are you going to do now, Doctor?

I don't know.

Have a little fun.

All you did was work every day.

I was thinking all night.

I'm thinking of studying a little bit more.

I'm going to study a little bit more and take revenge on the sorrow I felt at the markets.

Oh, revenge! Well, just how?

It's called ISIPCA, a school that's about five minutes from Versailles.

I'm going to go there and specialize in cosmetics a little bit more.

And put out a solid product in our country's market.

Since I don't have the tuition and living expenses

I can just get a job washing dishes or some odd jobs here and there.

Well... you already got your PhD...

What... more do you need to study for, Doctor?

Being a doctor isn't everything! You study until the day you die.

Ver... Ver... Versailles?

Where the school ISIPCA is.

What comes next after getting a PhD?

Is there something after getting a PhD?

A professor.

Why do you ask?

There's also unemployment after a PhD, Teacher!

Well... why not?

She's a woman that can go and study in America.

I've only graduated from middle school...

and she says she's going to study some more...

after getting a PhD?

Versailles.

Versailles.

It's in France, not the United States!

France... France... France...

It's really far away.

First of all...

until a new Miss Korea is crowned next May...

whether it's voluntary or community work

you must carry out the official duties of Miss Korea.

Secondly, the top three contestants of Miss Korea

must participate in a world beauty pageant.

For example, the winner of Miss Korea must enter

the Miss Universe pageant in Hawaii next year.

Excuse me, Vice President.

Besides the top three contestants

is there a world pageant that Miss BaDa can separately enter?

Only the top three contestants have the opportunity to enter a world pageant.

It's not like this is your first time doing a Miss Korea pageant either.

Will the Secretariat provide us with the international expenses?

Everyone has received their prize money. You'll have to use that for expenses.

I don't think that will be enough. The cost of the dress is quite expensive as well.

Up until now, all the winners of Miss Korea have done that.

If you can't do it, will you hand over the winner's crown right now?

No, not at all.

Lastly, this one is very important.

While you are fulfilling your duties for Miss Korea

you must not cause or be involved in anything

scandalous that may taint the name of Miss Korea.

As I'm sure you all can guess

these scandals usually arise because of a man.

So I'm saying, please be particularly careful in your relationships with men.

- It's all right to have a boyfriend, right? - A boyfriend is not allowed either.

Miss Korea is the country's flower. That flower should not belong to anyone else.

Well, officially that is.

It's only until next May. So it shouldn't be hard to do.

Oh my! What are we to do?

President Kim, aren't you Oh Ji Young's boyfriend?

President Kim, what kind of relationship do you have with the winner?

Are you her boyfriend?

- He is... - Not at all! I'm not her boyfriend at all.

It's just a platonic relationship.

- I can trust you, yes? - Yes, of course.

Yesterday, after the pageant

we got a lot of advertisement calls for the winner and the first runner up.

If they find out you have a boyfriend, they'll probably stop calling.

Hawaii! I'll be going to Hawaii for a world competition, Hyung Joon!

Hyung Joon. Let's hurry and do the BB cream advertisement first.

The sooner we get it out of the way, the more you'll be able to sell.

That way, our President Kim can stand up tall.

Hey, Ji Young.

Do my shoulders look like they're drooping?

No!

Hold on.

Hey!

Someone might see.

Hey, if it was up to me, I would carry you, but I'm holding it in right now!

It's the same with the BB cream.

But just because you're a rookie

I'm going to make sure you don't do any advertisements for cheap or for free.

Then I'm going to do whatever you pick for me.

Hyung Joon, just use my cell phone.

Everyone that's looking for me calls me at this number.

Even if I answer, I don't know what's going on... and I can't reject very well either.

Okay! From now on, I'm going to manage it.

I feel secure.

I have to go somewhere so you go home first.

And let's have dinner with the others. I'll go first.

- Okay, hurry and go. - See you in a bit.

Miss Oh Ji Young.

Vice President! By any chance, has there been any advertising offers for Sun Young?

Right... not yet.

If there are, please call me right away.

I hear Director Yang's salon is not doing so well these days.

The money she used while putting her salon up for collateral is substantial.

I knew that was going to happen.

Director.

The Congressman asked to have a meal with you and me.

It's the first time... he's asking me to have a meal with him.

Let's eat a delicious...

no, let's eat an expensive meal, Jae Hee.

Miss Oh Ji Young, the winner has to be the model for BaDa Cosmetics.

Why don't you sign the contract now?

Clearly, I have no intentions of becoming a model for BaDa Cosmetics.

Are you not pleased with the amount of money in the contract?

No matter how much money you give me, I won't do it.

I became Miss Korea by receiving the support of ViVi Cosmetics.

So naturally, I should be the model for ViVi Cosmetics.

Do you still not know?

That ViVi Cosmetics will be officially bankrupt today?

Bankrupt?

Unless something interferes with the process, ViVi Cosmetics will go bankrupt today.

Kim Hyung Joon is going down.

No matter how much you want to become the model for ViVi Cosmetics

you won't be able to.

I hear the loan sharks barged in and took all the factory's equipment.

You really didn't know?

Then... you must not know that the BB cream will be handed over to our company as well.

Is that why nobody came yesterday?

Hyung Joon.

You're here.

This isn't the time for you to act all carefree.

Shouldn't you be running around trying to block the bankruptcy?

That's why I came.

Our bankruptcy... block it for us.

In exchange... I'll hand over our company to you.

So you're asking me to take over your company right now?

You know this. What I'm interested in is the BB cream.

If your company shuts down, I'll have the BB cream in my hands.

The wasted power and money. I have no interest in taking over your company.

Why should I?

I used the calculator that you liked so much.

Even BaDa Cosmetics wanted the BB cream.

To the point where they wanted to steal our sample and buy it from us.

Buying it cheap and selling it at a higher price...

isn't that your forte?

And what is it that you want?

So our employees don't get kicked out onto the streets...

guarantee that they'll have a job.

That's...

all?

You and your friends are on verge of getting kicked out after all those years of dedication.

You're saying that's the only condition?

Do it for us.

For someone who used to be your friend, I'm begging you.

[Dear neighbors! Winner of Miss Korea

Oh Ji Young is currently out so please do not look for her!]

I...

want a stone bed that has wireless heat control.

Isn't that expensive, Father?

Father, you should at least have some conscience!

You were against Miss Korea from the beginning. That thing costs over 5 million won!

Father! Even if you did get it, there's no place to put it.

Ji Young gave it to us to spend it how we please. Why not?

I'll find a place to put it so just buy it for me.

We have to use this for Ji Young's wedding someday.

Yes, that's too much!

Should I start my own business? Like a video store or a fried chicken restaurant!

Let's just buy ourselves some new pajamas.

Yes, let's do that. That sounds good, Father. Right?

Then how about we all get hair implants?

Grandpa, you hate it when you lose your hair, too.

Before we all become bald, let's get hair implants.

- If you do that, the hair will really grow? - Of course!

- And all the white hair will be covered? - That's what I'm saying.

Then do you think I'll be able to get married?

Of course! You just don't have hair but you're a handsome man.

Mom.

Winner of Miss Korea, what is it?

I'm sorry, Mom.

About my prize money...

give it back to me.

Why? Where are you going to spend it?

Why are you taking it back?

It's your money so you can do whatever you want with it, but...

- Please give it to me. - How shameful! How can you ask for what you gave?

That's bad! It's the worst!

I'm sorry.

Myun Sang.

Only beggars do that!

All of a sudden, I'm not happy about becoming Miss Korea.

I'll feel better if this money is used properly.

I'm sorry.

Even though you birthed and raised me, a man comes first before the family.

The man is more important.

That's all I amount to. You can curse all you want.

Getting hit or cursed at won't be enough so do whatever you want to me.

What kind of Miss Korea dedicates money to a man?

When there's a ton of men that will pay to see Miss Korea!

But... a man? Who is it?

It can't possibly be... Hyung Joon!

What?

- Yes? - Hello?

Is this the cell phone of the winner of Miss Korea, Miss Oh Ji Young?

- Ah, yes it is. - This is the advertising company.

Ah yes, you can speak to me. I'm Miss Oh Ji Young's manager.

-Yes? - Is she dating someone?

As a plutocrat in his thirties, not just anyone can meet him.

Before she starts her duties, he would like to meet her right away.

Ah yes.

Yes?

Is this the manager? The son of Oh Dong Corporation is looking for a prospective bride.

Will you meet up with them? They're interested in seeing her.

Ah yes. As soon as I discuss it with Miss Oh Ji Young, I will give you a call.

Ah yes... yes, thank you. Yes.

These are the personal information documents needed for the contracts.

Here, please take a look at it first.

[Miss Korea 1997 Beauty Pageant Personal Information]

If it's December 22nd, it was the day of the pageant.

- Oh Ji Young's birthday. - Pardon? Ah, is that so?

Wait a minute.

The age limit is 25 to enter the pageant.

If her birthday was on the day of the pageant

Would she be 25 for 26 years old?

- I'm not sure. - Please call the lawyer and check.

If she's considered to be 26 years old, wouldn't that disqualify her?

Yes.

Why didn't you go in? People are waiting for you.

What is this?

- The winner's prize money. - But why?

This money...

I want you to use it.

Why would I use this? And you gave this to your father.

Go ahead and use it first. You need the money.

I have money!

You know it's not the time to be yelling like that.

What are you talking about? Did someone say something?

I'm fine.

And this isn't even enough for when you prepare for Miss Universe. Hurry and take it.

Should you be worrying about me right now?

Do you think I'm a clueless idiot?

I heard your company went bankrupt.

The BB cream is not yours anymore!

So?

In the meantime, take this and use it towards the company.

I'll take care of it on my own.

I'll just accept your heart. Let's go in.

In this situation, is your pride important?

- We don't need that between us. - It's important to me!

My pride is important.

I want to keep looking out for you.

I don't have anything. All I have left is my pride.

Do I have to throw that away in front of you?

I'm already embarrassed to have to show up in front

of you after ten years just so I could save my company.

I'm embarrassed of being ignored by my friend and getting beaten up in front of you.

Now you want me to accept your money?

Then I should just stand there and watch you go through a tough time?

While you're suffering, should I be treated as a queen and have fun all by myself?

If I accept your money, what's next?

I'll just become indebted to you.

I'm not going to think you're pretty or that it's nice to be with you.

But I'm going to think, 'I'm sorry.' 'When should I pay her back?'

It'll become harder and harder to keeping seeing. Don't you know that?

But when you were in debt to Teacher Jung, you got along well with him.

Hey, Ji Young.

Please...

don't embarrass me.

Let's go in.
