[ominous music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[somber music playing]

[Park Hyeong-seok]
It's going to start soon.

- It's almost time.
- [Pyeon Deok-hwa] Yeah.

[Park Hyeong-seok sighs] I'm nervous.

I didn't know I'd be singing
on a stage as big as this.

The festival showcase is like
the main event of the night.

I know it'll be all right.
Let's just do like we did in practice.

[breathes deeply]

You practiced especially hard,
so be confident, Hyeong-seok.

Oh. [chuckles]

- Huh?
- [indistinct chatter]

- Um, sorry...
- Huh?

- ...give me a sec. I'll be right back.

[indistinct chatter]

[pants]

Huh? Excuse me!

[pants]

Hello, you must be here for the festival.

- Who are you?
- Oh. [gasps]

Right! This is the first time
I'm meeting her in this body.

Uh, that I, uh...

Hitting on me by pretending you know me?
So obvious.

- What?
- [scoffs]

- Uh, no. I...
- I guess it's worked for you until now.

But don't act like you're all that
just because you're halfway handsome.

[Park Hyeong-seok]
She's not being as nice as usual.

This whole school
is full of people like you.

Who judge people solely on their looks.

Oh.

I was going to watch
the performances then go.

But never mind.
I'm sick of all of this. Let's go.

Uh. Oh, no, please wait.

- [groans]
- That's quite enough.

- [Park Hyeong-seok] How is he...
- [Jong-geon] How persistent.

She already explained this.

- [Park Hyeong-seok groans]
- She's had enough of you people.

- [groans]
- [Jong-geon] Step back, pretty boy.

- Don't make me hurt you.
- [groans]

- [groans]
- [gasps]

- Huh?
- Let go of me!

[action music playing]

[Choi Su-jeong]
He shook off Jong-geon's grip?

[scoffs]

- You little... [grunts]
- [Park Hyeong-seok] He's fast.

- [groans]
- [Jong-geon] A guard position? I got him.

[Park Hyeong-seok groans]

- [groans]
- [gasps]

[coughs]

- You reacted to my kick...
- [Park Hyeong-seok coughing]

- ...and put your guard up.
- [Hyeong-seok groans]

You've got a good eye. You're interesting.

You're strong and light on your feet.

- Based on your stance...
- [Park Hyeong-seok groans]

[Jong-geon]...you haven't been
properly trained at all.

But you're not without talent.

If it were up to me I'd let you go.

But I have to do
as my employer tells me to...

[Choi Su-jeong] Don't you dare!

- You really don't have to go this far.
- My orders were quite clear.

To make sure no one touches
a hair on your head.

And if anyone does try to touch you,

- to b*at them...
- [Park Hyeong-seok groans]

- ...to a bloody pulp.
- [Park Hyeong-seok groans]

That's just the way it is. Sorry, guy.

- [Basco] Hey, glasses.
- [groans]

- Huh?
- Huh?

[Basco] What do you think
you're doing there?

[dramatic music playing]

[gasps] Basco?

- This your friend?
- [groans]

BALGURE

[Basco sighs] That's right.

BANANA POT

I'm his friend.

Huh?

- [grunts]
- So don't be messing around with him.

Or I'll teach you a lesson.

Teach me a lesson? [chuckles]
Why do you talk like that?

- [chuckles] You're hilarious.
- [gasps]

- [gasps]
- [gasps]

[tense music playing]

- Glasses.
- Huh?

Take off your glasses.

[Jong-geon] My punch had no effect?

Remarkable.

- That didn't hurt?
- [sighs]

[chuckles]

This school truly is so interesting.

- Now, come on!
- Fine. I'll hit you!

[Park Hyeong-seok pants]

- [pants]
- [Basco] I'm his friend.

[groans]

- Huh?
- [Park Hyeong-seok pants]

- [gasps]
- [Park Hyeong-seok pants]

[groans]

[Jong-geon] He stood up
after I kicked him.


Even if you both fight me,
you still don't stand a chance.

- [Choi Su-jeong] Jong-geon!
- Hmm?

Do you want me to say
you're out punching people again?

- [sighs]
- Jong-geon, don't do it.

You have to go back to your old post.

- [pants]
- [pants]

[breathes deeply]

I got too excited.
Been a while since I fought anyone.

- You, "friend," can put your arms down.
- [pants]

- You too.
- [groans]

I'd better start restraining myself.

- Huh?
- [Jong-geon] I need to take

the GED as well.

- The GED?
- [car engine revving]

I'm sorry, you were hurt.

- [sighs, groans]
- Huh?

- You okay?
- [sighs]

- So, who's the guy with the glasses?
- Oh, I don't know.

We just met.

If you and I fight again,
I promise I'll win.

- [grunts]
- Saying that...

I don't think I got what it takes
to b*at Glasses.

[groans] I'm just not strong enough.

[sighs]

[soft music playing]

[sighs, groans]

- Huh?
- Found it on my way here.

Uh. Oh, thanks.

[Park Hyeong-seok] I first thought
it was because he wanted


to use me in some way. That wasn't it.

[Park Ji-ho] He always asks me
to eat lunch with him.


And he never really asks me for anything.

[Park Hyeong-seok] My mother gave him
that to pay for the coffee.


Hmm.

- [chuckles] Thank you. I appreciate it.
- [Basco] Hmm.

If we fight again, I will win though.

[chuckles] Okay, okay.

[Hwan-Jun] Next is Jaewon High's
cutie pie...


- Oh, I'd better get going.
- [Hwan-Jun] ...Kim Seul-beom!

- Hmm?
- [crowd cheering]

[rock music playing]

Wow, look at that.
Kids are so boisterous these days.

- Yeah, they sure are.
- [laughs]

Well, did I put it on right?

[Pyeon Deok-hwa] Wow,
it looks great on you, Hyeong-seok.

[Park Hyeong-seok] Thank you.

For offering these outfits
for our performance.

- [chuckles]
- [Jin Ho-bin] Hey.

- Huh?
- Huh?

- [laughs]
- [Go Jeong-gi laughing]

[Jin Ho-bin] Are your clothes going
to do the singing?

- [laughs]
- [Hwan-Jun] Next is vocal dance class's...

- Well...
- [Pyeon Deok-hwa] Hey!

- [Jin Ho-bin]...it's our turn.
- [Hwan-Jun] ...and Go Jeong-gi.

[upbeat music playing]

Just stay there
and watch how it's done. [chuckles]

It is a really well polished song.

[female student ] I'm so glad I came
to Jaewon Festival!

[male student ] I'm a guy,
but even I think

he's freaking good looking.

[female student ] Yeah,
he makes the guys who were just on stage...

- Hey, let's watch from the front!
- [female student ]...look so ordinary.

[laughs]

[audience cheering]

Yeah, okay, his look is good.
But this biz ain't easy.

He's gonna need more
than just a pretty face.

[crowd cheering]

Well, you must be that handsome guy
I've heard about.

How did you come to perform today?

Uh, what? Oh, um, well,
my friend over here asked me

to perform a song with him tonight.
So, we've been practicing together since.

So, you two are friends then. Really?

It's like you're an entirely
different species.

[crowd laughing]

[male student ] The emcee is good.

- [crowd laughing]
- [grunts]

- [male student ] So f*cking funny.
- Uh...

[male student ]
I wonder how those two met.

Sir! The short kid next

- to the good looking one.
- Hmm?

- The kid from the other day.
- Really?

He came to audition last time.

I didn't recognize him
because he changed his look.

Someone like that showed up here?

[Hwan-Jun] Okay, let's hear it.

Park Hyeong-seok
and Pyeon Deok-hwa's song called "Fly Up!"

[crowd cheers]

[sighs]

[gasps]

[pants]

[soft music playing]

[breathes deeply]

- Yeah... [voice cracks, gasps]
- Uh.

- [laughs]
- [laughs]

Uh, I knew that idiot would do that.
[laughs]

- Not everyone can perform on a stage.
- He can't even sing.

He thought his looks would let him coast
through their song.

- [gasps]
- [male student ] What's with him,

is he scared?
[male student ] Whoa,

that's got to be embarrassing.

What was that? Not good.

[scoffs] Poor kid.
Only thing going for him is his looks.

[Park Hyeong-seok] The crowd
is turning cold. I knew I couldn't do it.

[Park Hyeong-seok's mother hums]

- [instrumental music playing]
- [hums]

[crowd cheers]

[male student ] Who are those guys?
They're amazing.

- Nice!
- [sobs]

[male student ] They're seriously good!

I can't believe Hyeong-seok's
a great singer too.

- Wow, this is amazing.
- Yeah!

- That's our buddy, Hyeong-seok.
- Hyeong-seok, you're so cool! Whoo!

- You're the best!
- Huh?

[female student ]
Deok-hwa's awesome.

Deok-hwa's freaking great too.

- [crowd cheering]
- [groans]

[laughs]

[crowd cheers]

- [camera shutter clicking]
- [instrumental music playing]

Yeah, it's all because of his looks.

We should've won this.
This is Hyeong-seok's fault.

- [groans] Not fair.
- [owner] Nope.

- Huh?
- [owner] They were better than you.

Those two cleaned the floor with you guys.
Wiped you out.

- Uh. What?
- But...

- [gasps]
- But what's going to happen to us now?

- What about the debut?
- [owner clears throat]

- Don't call us. We'll call you.
- Huh?

[owner clearing throat]

- [Jin Ho-bin] Oh, but... but, sir?
- [Park Han-gyeol laughing]

Wow, Hyeong-seok, you seem like a pro.

- [chuckles] I knew you two would win.
- [owner] You!

- Huh?
- [owner] You're the kid

who came to audition last time, right?

Oh, uh, yeah.
Oh, you actually remember who I am?

- Of course I remember.
- [laughs]

And, honestly, you're not that bad really.

I'm sorry for what happened last time.

Oh. [chuckles] No worries.

[owner clearing throat]
Here you go. This is my business card.

- Um, really?
- No way!

It's to my direct line.

Oh, thank you so much!

- [owner clearing throat]
- Oh, what?

[owner] So make sure
to call me, Park Hyeong-seok.

[sighs]

Oh, but what about Deok-hwa?

Huh? Oh, him? He's good, I can't lie.

As long as he doesn't go pro,
he'll do great anywhere.

That's so cold-hearted.
How could you say that?

It's not me who's cold-hearted.
It's the public.

The public only eats when you put
the stuff they like on the table. [laughs]

Anyway, you know you should really sign
with us first, Park Hyeong-seok.

We'll give you a big advance too.

How about it?

I am...

- turning you down.
- What?

What? You...
You're really turning me down?

- [Park Hyeong-seok] Yeah.
- [groans]

- He's crazy.
- [owner] Hey!

You know there's a long line
of kids who'd love to sign with us

but can't, right?

- Hey, let's do an afterparty.
- [gasps]

- Party tonight! [laughs]
- Party tonight! [laughs]

Mi-jin, I'm studying
at your place today, okay? [laughs]

[Lee Jin-seong] I'm in if Mi-jin's going.

[sighs]

EVERYONE IN THE WORLD
MIGHT LOOK DOWN ON ME

[Pyeon Deok-hwa]
I don't know how to give up.

[sighs]

[Park Ji-ho]
There's already , views!

[Pyeon Deok-hwa] Oh, but, uh,
I've been edited out of it.

SCHOOL FESTIVAL RAP

[sighs]

Well, it doesn't really matter. [chuckles]

It helped me think
of some great new rap lyrics.

So, I'm okay. [chuckles]

- And who cares about looks anyway?
- Yeah.

In that moment
your looks, which had once divided you,

didn't really matter anymore.

That's right.
When you two sang, it resonated with me.

I was so moved.

I think when you were singing,
everyone listening in that audience

could feel the emotion
that you two put into that song.

- [Pyeon Deok-hwa] You came to see us?
- Oh! Huh? No. Uh-uh.

The... the thought just came to me
when I watched this video. [chuckles]

[DG] Hmm. Intriguing!

[driver] We've arrived, sir.

[chuckles]

[reporter ] Oh, wait, wait!
Could you look this way?

[crowd cheering]

- [reporter ] DG!
- [crowd] DG! DG! DG! DG!

DG IS AN ARROW
DG PIERCES MY HEART

[crowd] DG! DG! DG! DG!

- [crowd] DG! DG! DG! DG!
- [chuckles]

INTERESTING!

[Choi Su-jeong] Huh? It's that guy.

He's the one who fought Jong-geon.

It's the song!

How is he singing that song?

[groans]

[Park Hyeong-seok groans, sighs]

[grunts, exhales]
