"Puberty Medley"

Before trying to interpret this poem,

we must understand the era the poet lived in.

-Class President! -We can call that era...

...the Dark Ages of the arts.

Hey, Class President.

Yang Ayeong.

Mr Choi.

Mr Choi.

-Mr Choi! -Yes?

The bell rang. You want to keep sleeping?

No.

I'm going.

Class A. No, it's class B.

Mr Choi.

Be careful today.

The director is in a really bad mood today.

Why?

All the kids are switching to that new prep school across the street.

-Really? -Yeah.

If I lose any more kids, it would be private tutoring.

Mr Choi! Aren't you going?

I'm going.

Brilliant sadness. This is important. Three stars.

It's the paradox of the beauty in sadness.

Got it?

In three days, the Namil High, class 1-1's

"10 years earlier"

"The winter trees and wind."

"The long-haired winds hang at the tip of the branches"

"like invisible laundry"

"and thus, the winds and trees are not alone."

"They are not alone. Nobody is alone."

It's nice.

"I am not alone."

"Even when I stand alone under the sky,"

"the sky is there with me."

It's quiet, and I know nobody.

Fine.

Jeongu, it's dangerous.

Okay.

"'Korea Sings' Namilgun Special"

"Part 1 -Transfer Student"

Tell Choi Jeongu to bring his family information form.

We will.

Choi Jeongu?

The transfer student.

His name is Choi Jeongu?

He's so inconspicuous.

Hey, you pig! I said not to eat! You pig!

Stop hitting me!

Based on my observations over the past few weeks,

the kids here are either overly hyped, or...

-Jeongu... -Yeah?

...didn't you bring lunch?

...unnecessarily friendly.

Want to go to the snack bar?

I thought you didn't bring lunch. Enjoy.

The only person who shows an interest in this invisible man.

That's right. Did you study for the quiz?

I didn't study at all. What do I do?

I have to review it again. Let's look over it together.

Okay!

The top student in school is nice, too.

Hey! Why don't you make some effort?

Stop leaching off of her.

Jeongu, want to come over later?

I told my mom we had a transfer student,

and she said to have you over.

-She's a great cook. -Right?

She really is a great cook.

-Hello. -Hey.

What are you doing later?

Going home to eat?

Life must be good, stuffing your face instead of making deliveries.

I was going to eat quickly.

What about me?

You don't care if I starve to death?

-I'll go now. -Go.

Wait.

You've dropped something here.

It's your brain! Get moving, punk!

What was he eating?

Eggs and seaweed. All lame, just like him.

What's this?

Hold on.

Hey.

He's new.

-Is he a transfer student? -Yes.

Hey, you. Look at me. Look at me.

You got a problem with me, boy?

I need a new food delivery boy. Want to be it?

Look at me.

What an idiot. He is so spiritless.

Stop stuffing your face.

Say, "Ah." How much do you weigh?

Excuse me.

What's with these losers?

What are you looking at?

What are your problems, punks?

Hey, just ignore him.

The guys should take care of themselves.

Pretend not to see, hear, or notice.

Don't make friends nor enemies.

I learned after transferring seven times

that it's easier if I don't get involved.

The exam schedule has been set.

They begin on Thursday.

Silence!

Remember, your grades follow you until you graduate.

And the National Singing Contest is coming to our town.

-Who's the guest singer? -Is SHINHWA coming?

They're screaming, "This is a countryside town!"

Silence!

The county office asked each school to send a team.

So the teachers drew straws.

And our class won!

-What? -No way!

Hey, you do it. Can't you sing?

-Ignore him. -Are you ignoring me?

-Ignore him. -Are you ignoring me?

Ignore him.

Hey! These will all be precious memories.

You can't do these, once you become a junior.

Class President, put together a team by tomorrow.

I will.

Attention!

Choi Jeongu. Choi Jeongu?

Yes?

Are you getting adjusted?

It must've been crazy since the semester just started.

Yes.

Okay. If you have any question, come see me.

Before I have my baby.

I will.

That's all. Class President?

Attention! Bow.

Goodbye.

Who cares about the National Singing Contest?

It's not even Golden Bell, the quiz show.

Hey.

It's not like you'd go on Golden Bell, like she would.

I need to leave this town.

Choi Jeongu!

It's your turn.

These are the bed sheets for the nurse's office.

It's our class' turn to wash them.

Wash them and give them to the nurse.

Thanks.

Bye.

Do you know the TV show, "Real or Fake?"

Sell this to the host of that show, got it?

-Okay? -Okay.

Take it out!

Give it to me.

Are you going to use that in the bathroom?

Punk.

Hold on. Doesn't he sit next to you in class?

Right? Even he ignores you, too?

You're such a loser.

I feel sorry for you. Here, buy yourself some candy.

What's his deal?

You get this taken away already? Loser.

He's a transfer student and is as big a loser as he is.

Why is it so cold?

I'm back...

-Hey. -Hi.

What is that?

Homework.

Honey!

You'll hurt your teeth.

What are you doing?

Jeongu, we're moving to Seoul! Seoul!

I got a promotion.

But I got transferred to Seoul.

They wouldn't do it when I asked.

Seoul! We're finally going to Seoul!

Dad's been to every power plant in the country.

So we've been pretty much everywhere, thanks to him.

But finally...

♪ Seoul, Seoul, Seoul ♪

She started packing as soon as she heard "Seoul."

Of course!

Look at the freckles under my eye.

I'm going to get rid of them when we get there.

Not everything is good in Seoul.

It's competitive and polluted.

Maybe you should stay, and let him study here.

Don't be ridiculous.

How can I live apart from you?

It's not like we have problems in the bedroom.

Then...

...I have to transfer, again?

I'm used to it. It's not the first time.

This is from Chunchu Middle School.

This is from Shinil Middle School.

This is from Sanghae High School.

Do you think he can transfer okay?

It was hard for him last time, too.

Everyone goes through hardships growing up.

And no one cares if they have a transfer student

since they're so busy.

Really?

The longest was two and a half years.

The shortest, six months.

I've been here two months.

Maybe this will set a new record.

Please welcome Choi Jeongu. He's joining our class.

Want to take that empty seat?

Transferring isn't so bad.

Jeongu will be transferring out of our school.

Welcome our new transfer student, Choi Jeongu.

Jeongu is transferring to another school.

Transfer student, Choi Jeongu.

He's a good student, so don't bother him to play with you.

Got it?

Jeongu's transferring out, so let's wish him the best.

-Jeongu's transferring. -He's transferring.

-He's transferring. -He has to transfer.

Jeongu, come quickly. Now. Hurry.

You see that pretty girl with long hair?

Doesn't she look like Jang Nara?

Jang Nara? Let me see.

Ouch!

Hey! Are you blind?

Go play over there. How annoying.

I had hoped we'd be in the same class in high school.

With her?

What about you? Do you like anyone?

No.

Hey, dog.

What? Do you like me?

-Sorry. -Sorry.

Come here.

-Hand me your cell phone. -Sorry?

They're taking our phones. I'll give it back later.

I'm expecting a call from my mom, so...

Stop babbling and give it to me while I'm being nice.

Hurry it up!

What is this? Use something that suits you.

This rotates?

This has a camera, too.

I need to take the call from my mom.

I'll give it back once I'm done! I won't keep it!

Come here. Let's take a photo.

Smile.

Smile.

What on Earth?

Was that thunder?

Is it about to rain?

Right. Get me my snack.

Now!

I was busy earlier, so eat this while I go...

You should've gone sooner. What's with you lately?

I told you to go to the snack bar.

-Have this first. -What is it?

-It's good. -It is?

My mom packed me leftovers from a memorial service.

Why you little... Open your mouth.

Here, you want me to die?

You want me to die so you could be happy?

Food from a memorial?

-It was my dad's memorial service. -Shut it.

Go buy me my snack.

What are you looking at? Go!

Go! Hurry up!

Why are you so lazy?

Get over here. What's your problem?

I'll be quick.

Why won't you listen to me?

Don't you have any respect for your seniors?

He's a transfer student, and as big a loser as he is.

Hey, why don't you listen to me?

-You should've gone earlier. -That's enough.

I'm hungry. Why don't you listen?

Stop it, you jerk!

What did he just say?

Take this back.

Are you high?

I said to take it back!

It's Brown Bear.

What's this?

Are you okay?

You're dead now. Do you know who he is?

Hey.

Me?

If you hit someone, you should apologize.

What?

You think being older makes you king?

-Act like a senior! -And?

And...

"Im Deokwon"

...leave my friend Deokwon alone.

Stop taking his money,

and making him run your errands.

You also took his cell phone!

How dare you throw food from his dad's memorial service?

You, back there.

You punk.

Are you doing drugs together or something?

Have you all lost your mind?

Interesting.

What should we do then?

If you don't want us bothering your friend,

want to fight me?

If you win, your friend is free.

Fight you?

Is that all I have to do?

But...

...when?

It's lunchtime now, and it's raining.

Today isn't the only day.

Just wait. You'll see me soon.

Soon? When is that?

You're funny.

You shouldn't let that punk...

What are you looking at?

Hello.

Whatever.

Did you see that jerk Yeongbok run away?

It felt so good, seeing what you did.

Have you really lost your mind?

Brown Bear's legendary.

Jeongu, I was so shocked, I almost cried.

I didn't know you cared so much for me.

Eat all of these, okay?

Hey, he saved your life,

and that's all you give him?

Wait a minute.

"From Ecstasy To Sunrise."

Pass. "Hansel and Gretel Did It."

They did it.

My brother said that's the cream of the crop.

You're keeping it all?

But be careful.

No one dares to touch Brown Bear.

That's right.

He was in juvenile hall for a year. Was it jail?

No, I heard he worked on a boat for a year.

I heard the number two guy of Rainbow Gang

lost the use of his legs because of Brown Bear.

He lost his sight! He went blind!

That's right. He can't see.

He's blind now.

Jeongu, we're moving to Seoul! Seoul!

-Jeongu, get out here! -Get out!

Jeongu has transferred out.

-He has transferred? -Yes.

-When did that happen? -You idiot!

That's right. I won't be here next week.

Transferring schools saved my life.

He's gone crazy because of those DVDs I gave him.

Don't watch them too much.

Kimchi.

Kimchi.

-Yeongbok. -Yes?

Do you still steal from kids?

Of course not.

That punk started it first. It was all him.

Did Wonil tell you to do it?

I told you, it wasn't like that.

Cut it out.

Shin Yeongbok.

I will.

But...

...are you going to let that transfer student go?

Are you?

You saw how disrespectful he was to me.

Hey, who do I hate the most?

Me. Yeongbok. Who's all talk.

Jeongu!

Where were you? I was waiting for you!

Ta-da!

The situation's gotten a bit annoying.

What is it?

This is a woman. Take a look.

Is that a cow or a person? It's a cow.

Some things are nice.

Jeongu!

Did you bring the sheets for the nurse's office?

I completely forgot. Sorry.

Bring them by the end of the week.

This week? Sure. I will. Bye.

And we're out of chalks.

They're in the teacher's office.

Will you go get them?

Chalks? Why do I have to get them?

You know what I think?

Since you wronged Yeokho too,

shouldn't you just apologize first?

She's straight out of the Education Broadcasting Station.

EBS.

Why should I apologize? What is it to you?

Sure. It's your business.

It was just an advice.

Who on Earth is she to lecture me?

"Shouldn't you just apologize first?"

How dare she tells me to apologize?

Is he your brother or something? Why do you care?

Who does she think she is?

How annoying.

Once I transfer, it's all over.

Ayeong! Ayeong! Hey!

Ayeong! Ayeong!

What are you doing?

Just enjoying the spring sun.

Did you tell Jeongu to apologize earlier?

Why? Who cares if they fight?

That wouldn't be a fight. He'd just get beaten up.

He's probably regretting it.

True, it's absurd.

But he looked cool fighting back.

The other boys in our class are all so lame.

Maybe he wanted attention.

Yeah, maybe.

You had Jeongu wash the nurse's office sheets, right?

Isn't it class 1-2's turn?

Didn't Seonjae wash them two weeks ago?

It is, but I volunteered.

To make Jeongu do it?

You must really hate him.

True, he ignores you and tries to act all cool.

He looks down on us because we're from the countryside.

Right?

Why that wicked little girl!

How dare she abuse me like that?

They're so mean to newcomers at this school.

She's just the class president. How dare she?

What's this now?

Yang Ayeong? You're a witch, that's what you are.

I'm so annoyed! Yang Ayeong!

It's not like that. He's new, so he has no friend.

I thought if he does class errands,

he'd start talking to people and feeling like he belongs.

You care too much about others.

It's annoying if you're too nice.

You're home early.

I wanted to help you out.

We can have the movers pack for us.

I must've lost my mind.

What's wrong with me? I forgot to call the movers.

What's the best day for us to move?

But Honey.

What is this red circle for?

I don't know.

It's not our parents' birthdays, or yours or mine.

It's not our wedding anniversary.

-Jeongu's birthday. -Jeongu's birthday.

When was the last time he brought a friend home?

Do you remember?

Well...

Attention! Bow.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Jeongu.

Did you get the chalks?

Jeongu, she's asking you something.

Chemistry is next, so get the periodic table, too.

You should go quickly.

Thanks.

Sure, why don't you play teacher?

You think you can abuse a transfer student?

I'll go with you.

Hey! Ayeong!

That's right, you.

You think you can always have your ways, don't you?

Is life that easy to you?

Should I ruin your school life?

Hey, you.

Hey, you.

Go out with me.

Go out with me.

Go out with me.

Sure.

Okay, I will.

Oh my gosh!

You're the man!

Jeongu!

Did you see her face?

Since when did you like her?

Regardless, I was so surprised.

I never thought she'd be interested in guys.

You know Wonil, who hangs out with Yeongbok?

He followed her around, but she totally ignored him.

What?

Here, you bring it in.

Thanks.

Kids! Hold up!

I don't have much to announce,

but we have to choose who'll go on the National Singing Contest.

I don't want to do it.

If we have no volunteer, we'll have to pick names.

My grandma wants to go on the show.

Quiet!

No one wants to do it? Any recommendation?

Why don't you guys go as a couple?

Jeongu, she's having a hard time.

What do you think?

Don't say anything.

We're moving to Seoul! Seoul!

Have you seen Jeongu?

Your boyfriend has transferred.

What?

The top student at Namil High School!

I'm here because my boyfriend has transferred.

My name is Yang Ayeong.

Nice!

I'll do it!

Jeongu.

I'll go on the National Singing Contest.

Are you serious?

Are you doing that for your girlfriend?

Hey! Give him a kiss!

Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!

Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!

Good luck once I transfer out, Ayeong.

"Wow! There goes Choi Jeongu!"

"Where? Where? That Jeongu guy?"

"He's dating the school's top student?"

"He told her how he felt in front of the whole class"

"He's going on "Korea Sings" because of her!"

"And Jeongu is going to fight with Brown Bear!"

That's him.

Look at him. How adorable.

So he's dating Yang Ayeong?

Don't worry,

Big Brother Yeokho will crush him soon.

Just sit back and enjoy.

Big Brother, my foot. His time's passed.

We're in the same grade.

Why you punk. Show some respect.

Why should I listen to him?

He grabbed her shoulder like this,

and said, "Go out with me."

We all freaked out.

He was invisible before, but he's so popular now.

She has good taste.

Maybe she doesn't want to be the top student anymore.

She's a genius, so she doesn't have to worry.

She does everything well.

She'll probably be good at relationships, too.

She's no genius.

She probably pretends to play and stays up all night.

Where are you rushing off to, top student?

Our top student has so much time to study and date.

Jeongu's pretty popular these days.

You'd better be careful.

Hyeonjin, what are you trying to say?

Why are you...

...dating him?

I can see him wanting to date you,

since you're smart.

But, what about you?

You must be very free these days.

How will you ever escape second place

when you are so nosy?

Hey! I'm better at relationships than you.

Don't worry about me.

Worry about your skirt length.

You'll get hemorrhoids.

What? Hey, Ayeong! Ayeong!

You think that'll stop me? I'll wear it even shorter.

What are you doing?

It's not good for my baby's prenatal care.

Act like a senior!

Go out with me.

Jeongu, get out here!

Jeongu has transferred schools.

Hey, did you see my boyfriend?

Your boyfriend has transferred!

I'm home.

-Welcome home. -Hey, Dad.

Why is it so clean? Did you send the boxes already?

No, actually...

Jeongu.

What is this ominous feeling?

I passed up my transfer to Seoul.

My wretched premonition is never wrong.

What's so great about Seoul?

I only thought of my promotion,

and mom only thought about moving to Seoul.

We never considered how you were doing,

or if you were making friends.

Dad...

Hey.

Mom, I'm not transferring?

No, he says we're settling down here.

He says he'll have you graduate here.

Why?

I'm sorry.

We only focused on the move,

and forgot your birthday.

I'm sorry, my son.

I have to transfer schools.

Dad, isn't it hard to get transferred to Seoul?

It's okay. I was promoted.

City life isn't everything.

Just like grades aren't everything.

Isn't it right, honey?

Whatever.

You're right.

Don't forget, you're the most important thing to me.

My family stabbed me in the back, big time.

How great is that?

My son!

You jerk. You think love is a game?

I told you we'd crush you real good, didn't we?

We'll turn you into a pancake. Get down.

You annoyed me from day one.

Big Brother.

Yeokho.

If you're concerned

about the pro-boxing license exam,

we can handle Jeongu ourselves.

Right?

The kids don't listen to us nowadays.

Hey, he must have something in mind.

Right?

-Do you have the next volume? -We do.

The boys have it. I'll get it for you.

He doesn't even respond to me anymore.

Yang Ayeong.

-It's because of her, right? -Hey.

It is.

He's doing it for that stupid girl.

But he's trying to look all cool.

Oh my gosh.

Hey, Wonil, are you done playing?

Go home then. Let's go.

Good night.

I'll get you the comic book.

This is boring.

You're drawing again?

Hey, Mom.

Midterms are coming up. Don't waste your time.

Okay.

I talked to dad.

He said he'll look into it.

Oh, okay.

Let's... Never mind. Study.

Mom's not feeling well, so I made it,

but it's a little burned.

Oh, and buy lunch today.

I'll just have to stay quiet from now on.

I have to be forgotten.

If you don't want toast, I can make you soup.

What a big boy, helping me out like that.

I can do this, back to being the Invisible Man.

Congratulations! Congratulations!

-Class couple born! -Class couple born!

Go out with me!

-Sure! -Okay!

Yeongbok came looking for you.

He said he'd return during lunch time.

He did? Really?

Whatever, that's fine.

I have to go out for lunch.

Is there a place to eat nearby?

Not nearby, but Yummy in downtown is the best.

Probably the best in town. Go eat there.

Is it good there?

I have diarrhea again.

Hyemi, let me borrow your gym clothes.

Just wear yours.

-Want some water? -Yeah.

Who wants to solve this one?

Ayeong.

Her boyfriend?

Let's have Ayeong's boyfriend solve it.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

We'll see how good you are next time.

I can't wait for the singing contest.

Life just got painful.

Hey, what's your deal?

You should've at least told me.

About what?

Look at her play dumb.

About dating Jeongu.

I thought you weren't interested in guys.

Are you really going to date Jeongu? No, right?

What's this? Last time, when Wonil...

...when he was chasing you around,

you kept saying no.

That's why I'm curious.

Why are you dating Jeongu?

Yes, tell us.

I can't imagine you dating a guy.

Hey.

-Yeah? -What?

I...

Wonil.

Hey, let's go inside. Let's hurry.

You still have something left to say to her?

Stop running!

Hey, so tomorrow...

Out of my way!

Where's the transfer student?

Where is he? Stop staring. Go find him!

Brown Bear?

What's with everyone?

Why, that punk. Get over here!

Hey! You punk!

Jeongu.

Jeongu.

Wonil claimed her first.

-Do you want to die? -What was that?

Yeokho isn't a bad guy.

It's true he fought a lot and stuff.

So that's what it is.

Tell us. Tell us.

Don't you want to know if he's your soul mate?

Here, this will be of help to you.

Why did you ask me out?

It's a secret.
