Say "saya Junwoo" (I am Junwoo in Indonesian) I am Junwoo? "Saya" means "I am" so it means "I am Junwoo" I thought for a while about what to choose for today's menu I remembered a dish similar to korean chi-bab (chicken rice) In order to make this food we have to grind the chicken and mix it with rice It's called "Geprek" Geprek? Crushed Chicken So my sister have told me how to make crushed chicken We have bought the chicken already WOW I thought I have to show a reaction like that (LOL) You acted way too startled Just crush it? What if we started with a little bit of chicken first? No! Its more difficult than I thought Maybe its your problem. Let me try it! What about the chili seed? Its edible! Move it here This time we crush the garlic If I shoot your face like this, your sister might not like it (Adding salt) Is it right? (Adding pepper) I bet it's already delicious! Its chicken, right? Then mix it all~~ In my opinion, its almost done...... Don't show your face!! Is it done? Only mix it with rice here? Korean people like this type of rice! The color is purple like this In Indonesia they use white rice! This rice is mixed with some seeds (multigrain rice) Geprek is done!! Looks like we can eat! This is Level 1.. This time I want to make it by my self! I cant believe I am shooting with you If our Korean friends are watching this video they must be laughing While cooking, what if we talked about chicken?

Korean college student must be protesting! "Go away!" "Who are you!" Level 2, using two chilies TIRED I want to eat only the fried chicken I want to eat anything I am so hungry The plate isn't enough Show your special talents! Special talents? What if we use 5 chili in Level 3?

Again and again!!! Too plain Anyway, you are my first guest among my friends *acting shocked* Again!! Again!! Focus!! Anyway...
A lot of people have been curious "who is Junwoo" What if I disappoint them? This one half chicken half chili! No! There are more chilies! Maybe Indonesian people also love to eat spicy food There are lot of spicy food in Indonesia If so, then kimchi might be not spicy at all for Indonesian people! Maybe My body feels hot One chilie Two chilies Five chilies I will try it first~ Put chicken in the top of rice! First thing first, does the taste resemble the original geprek? Answer it fast! Fast!!!! I want to eat!!! It's delicious right? I will eat this~ ok??! Doesn't resemble 100% But it's similar! (Must be different) because all the ingredients are from korea The chicken tastes different, its the taste of korean chicken But it's delicious! It's junwoo first time eating Indonesian food! So, how's the taste? Its like the taste doesn't match with Korean rice because of its stickiness More suitable with rice that is not sticky! But it's delicious! Lets try level 2! You try it first! I have to say it first You can't eat spicy food, right? I li.....Ke spicy food I of.....Ten eat spicy food But i cant handle spicy food Means you like spicy food This is level 2 Why your hands trembling? This is level.... 2... Level 2 is probably not that different Yes true Maybe its getting spicy Its really delicious!!! Delicious right? Why not sell it in Korea? Right!!

Mi Ayam Korea Segede Baskom!
Hello, I'm Jisun I'm Junsu This place has a lot of people so I am a bit embarrassed. Today, we're at a restaurant that sells "Mie Ayam Korea" (Korean Chicken Noodles) But calling it Mie Ayam (noodles with chicken) is a bit wrong (Chicken with noodles) (Chicken with noodles) might be more appropriate because They use ONE entire whole chicken. (One Whole) "Mie Ayam" in Indonesia they put chicken on the noodles. However, over here they use ONE whole chicken, and they put noodles on the chicken.
Even so, it is still considered "Mie Ayam" (Chicken Noodles) in Korea Yeah, this is "Mie Ayam" (Chicken Noodles) Korea But the taste and the look of it might be very different. This dish of 'Satu ekor ayam mie' (One whole chicken with noodles) is quite expensive. Because over here they actually do use the entire chicken. Thank You.
If you eat 'Mie Korea' (Korean Noodles) you also have to try 'Mandu' (Korean Dumplings) too If you go to a restaurant that sells 'Mie Korea' (Korean Noodles) They usually sell 'Mandu' (Korean Dumplings) too. You should eat 'Mandu' if you don't eat some, it's not as satisfying. ~$2.80 USD. 'Wang Mandu'~~ This is so big that the camera can't see the entire thing.
Wow the pot is so big it looks like a tub. ~$18.65 USD. When the pot arrives at the table, the chicken isn't fully cooked yet. So you have to let it boil a little longer.
While we wait we can eat some 'Mandu'! (Korean dumplings) The 'Mandu'(Korean Dumplings) is also pretty good! The name of the dish is "Satu Ekor Ayam" (One whole chicken) It sounds a little weird but yeah they do use one entire chicken. And if you use noodles with this dish. Then this dish becomes 'Mie Ayam Korea' (Korean Chicken Noodles) So how it works is, you eat the boiled chicken first then you put in the noodles into the chicken broth so that the noodles are more savoury. If you try the Kimchi, you can see how good the restaurant is.
That's true, if you got to a restaurant that sells noodles, its important that you try their Kimchi. Usually, the Kimchi in a noodle restaurant is a bit different, its usually more refreshing. It's not too sour, and it hasn't been fermenting for a long time. There's chicken.........
Vegetables and ...........Kimchi This entire thing is Kimchi. :^O [Junsu] it's spicy? [Jisun] yeah it's spicy! It tastes like Korean Chili Peppers! The spicy taste hits you in the throat! No? Spicy! The spicy taste is deep. If we use the noodle, for sure it would be really delicious! This is like a bucket where you can wash your face in. It's bigger than a bucket where you can wash your face in.
It's very steamy! You can't see my face. This dish doesn't contain any ingredients that's 'Haram' (not allowed in Islam) like Pork, or Alcohol. Before I used to always give this information when I describe Korean food. Whether or not this Korean dish is 'Halal' (allowed in Islam) or 'Non-Halal' (not allowed in Islam) But 'Halal- food' (allowed in Islam) doesn't just mean food that doesn't have any 'Haram' (not allowed in Islam) ingredients.
How you butcher the meat and the way you clean it, that's all have to be 'Halal' (allowed in Islam) for the food to be considered 'Halal-food' But in Korea, not a lot of people truly understand what is considered 'Halal' (allowed in Islam) People said that even 'Halal-restaurants' don't actually sell food that's 'Halal' (allowed in Islam) For sure there must be a 'Halal-restaurant' that understand and follows what 'Halal' means (allowed in Islam) So before, I used to give information in my videos, if the dish contains any 'Haram' (not allowed in Islam) ingredients. I would then write 'non-Halal' (not allowed in Islam) But there would always be someone that comments' "even if it doesn't have any 'Haram' ingredients it can still be 'Haram' " (not allowed in Islam) After I read that comment, I started to feel that it became a lot harder to give that information. (Because I can't always check on the entire process) :( For this chicken, we need to make the sauce! Soy Sauce. Mustard The potatoes are really spicy! I feel like eating the noodles right away! I said before that this is Korean 'Mie Ayam' (Chicken Noodles) But I haven't eaten any noodles I've just been eating the chicken Gonna eat the chicken with Kimchi~~ <3 If you eat the chicken wrapped in Kimch, it's really good! Gonna use the sauce~~ In Korea, it's common to eat an entire whole chicken right? For example the dish 'Samgyetang' (Ginseng Chicken Soup) one person will eat one entire chicken.
But a lot of viewers still say that we eat a lot..... -____- The Indonesian 'Mie Ayam' (Chicken Noodles) taste very different right? The colour is not red and the taste is more savoury. It's softer. But over here, they use a lot of Kimchi and Korean chilli peppers SPICY! Chicken Drumstick! The Kimchi that's inside this soup is very soft.
It has become very soft. Like Kimchi that is inside Kimchi soup. This really looks like a lot, but If two people eat this Then it's really only 2 portions :P. Personally I don't really like chicken skin, but the chicken skin here is really good.
With the skin~~ I'ts like eating Kimchi soup but the taste is more savoury. ~~Tadam~~ Yeah it looks like in here they really use the entire chicken But there is no chicken head. In here, it looks like they use one entire whole chicken but without the head right? In Indonesia, sometimes they would give you the chicken head too. So that's why there's a lot of Korean people who gets surprised.
When they find a chicken head in their food. It looks like we've almost finished the chicken. And in that case. We should start adding the noodles inside.
Drooling :D. WOWIEE!!! :D. It's hot! The broth has become thicker after we've added the noodles. The noodles are very chewy! These noodles are not made by machine, that's why the thickness is not uniform.
But as a result it is chewier. This is really delicious There's already Kimchi in the soup but I want to add some fresh ones. WoOoOoO. When we first arrived in the restaurant, a lot of people were eating while they were sweating right? Now we can understand why they were really sweaty.
~~Fur elise~~ *( )*. If we use Kimchi and a lot of Chilli Peppers in Indonesian 'Mie Ayam' (Chicken Noodles) maybe the taste will become similar to this! We've finished one whole chicken and 2 portions of noodles too. Finished! We can't compare which one is more delicious between Indonesian 'Mie Ayam' (Chicken Noodles) and the Korean 'Mie Ayam' (Chicken Noodles) They just taste different. The colour of the flavour profile is different.
That's right, the colour is different and the colour of the flavour profile is also different. This taste red. Yeah, this taste red while Indonesian 'Mie Ayam' (Chicken Noodles) tastes yellow So what's the conclusion? Both of them are delicious!! :^) If you eat Chicken with Noodles. For sure it will be delicious right? You need to say it like this! "It means it would definitely be delicious" I am embarrassed XD.
So if you guys are coming to Korea, I highly recommend you try Korean 'Mie Ayam' (Chicken Noodles) And in my opinion This is a new flavour for you guys to try. So in that case? [Jisun] So for today!!!! [Junsu] we're gonna end.......Here BYE!! :D. What day is it today? Today is Jisun DAY!!.
Even so, it is still considered "Mie Ayam" (Chicken Noodles) in Korea Yeah, this is "Mie Ayam" (Chicken Noodles) Korea But the taste and the look of it might be very different.

Making a GuitarHandcrafted WoodworkingO se trouve Greenfield Guitars
My name is Michael Greenfield and I am a guitar maker. Welcome to my workshop. My clients are artists, collectors and those who deserve the very best. They consult with me to address their musical needs and select options and features in order for me to make personalized musical instruments, and functional works of art.
This documentary captures the journey, the process and the actual work in progress - glue smudges, ebony dust and all. What you're about to see took place over the period of four to five months. We're going to start bending sides, to form a rimset. I use a laminated rimset which means I take pieces of wood, sand them very thin to make veneers out of them and glue a whole bunch of them together.
It makes a more rigid structure. So, we're going to add a little bit of water to this and wrap it in paper. The paper just keeps everything clean. I have these silicone rubber blankets, and one of them has a thermal couple on it, which is basically a thermometer.
It gets plugged into these controllers. These controllers are programmed to ramp up to - in my case - 250 F, for one minute. Then it will ramp down to 190 F, and it will hold it there for half an hour. Then it will turn off and cool to room temperature.
You can see even from the weight of the clamp as it starts to heat up, you can see the wood starting to sag. The heat will plasticize the natural resins that occur in the wood and allow it to bend. Then when it cools off again, those resins will resolidify and hold the piece in place. I just sit and watch the numbers, and smell the wood.
It's been a few hours, everything has cooled to room temperature. You can see some of the resin that has come out of it. This is Julien, my apprentice and he is going to be installing the linings on this rimset. The linings are these little bendy pieces of woods that glued to the sides of the laminated rimset to increase the gluing surface so that the top and back will have more to stick to.
Julien is bending the linings on this hot pipe with a damp paper towel on it to create steam and help the wood become more plastic and bend. While the linings themselves are fabricated with those little cuts to make it easy to bend it makes for a cleaner, more precise fit when we use heat to help form the part. So this is a really beautiful set of moon harvested alpine spruce. What they'll do is fell a tree, find the straightest, most beautiful part of the log, split that part of the log in half split it into quarters, and then wedges.
They orientate that onto the saw so all the grain is vertical - these consecutive slices are opened up like a book - which is referred to as bookmatching. So these two consecutive slices which were numbered by the sawyer make up one guitar top. That's pretty common. It's very stiff and light - it makes for great guitars.
You can hear it already. It's making music - all by itself. Ok! Let's turn this into a guitar top. So we just cleaned this up - it's easier for me to see and work with it.
This is what we refer to as a pitch pocket - the natural resin that occures in the wood. I have it on this side as well. So, I want to make sure this falls outside of the guitar outline. This is absolutly not a problem, it's completely outside of the outline of the guitar.
And this one is also outside the outline of the guitar. So I'm good. If this pitch pocket occured somewhere else in the set of wood, I would of haved to reject it. Which is unfortunate but, it's just the way it goes.
Let's take a little hot hide glue. That's it! We'll come back in a few hours and see how we did. What I'm doing here is removing excess weight from the X-brace. By retaining the full height of the brace, I keep much of it's structural integrity And by pyramiding it towards the top, I'm removing - I don't know what percentage - but quite a bit of it's weight.
So it makes a for a strong and light brace. It's all about making a responsive guitar. I remove mass to get the system as effecient as possible, but without going to far - which will result in a weak voice or at worst, structural failure. This is just a quick rough sanding, certainly not finished.
So this is hide glue - animal glue - it's gelatin. I'm going to put this on to heat up now, it will be ready in about ten minutes. This thing is referred to as a Go-Bar Deck, and it's a very ancient way of clamping things. My understanding is that it was developped thousands of years ago in ancient China and they used bamboo sticks.
This is fiberglass sail batten, PVC plastic - that advantage to this is it has a memory. It always go back to zero. If you use wood, over a period of time it starts to distort and bend. It's not the end of the world but you have to replace the sticks.
I never replace these sticks, these sticks are over twenty years old. I'm going to sign the sound board, I sign every single one. This one is going to one of my agents in Europe. It's just a generic signature, so this is what happens.
This is the 5th month of 2016, and now we're going to put it on the guitar. You know, the challenge is to keep - as with everything else about the guitar - to keep the inside of the guitar as clean as possible. So, it's like getting the perfect amount of glue on so you don't have a lot of squeeze out to clean up - but so that the guitar stays together and doesn't fall apart. We'll come back in 15 minutes and check the squeeze out.
Now is the time where the glue is still soft enough, I can clean it out with a toothpick or something. But it's good! It's clean. *Taps on sound board* That will take some work later. This one is number 268.
I use handmade paper because it's a handmade guitar, why not use handmade paper? And we make them ourselves. There it is, one Greenfield Guitars label. Let's go glue it on. We have the sound board, we have the back we have the rimset.
We're at a stage where these bodies have been closed and it's starting to look like a guitar. It's a vacuum that will hold the guitar in any number of positions and free it up for me to work on the sides. So this is ready for the next step, I'm going to check for flatness and round. This is just the remanence of that glue that we used to make the rimsets earlier when we were laminating.
This will all get sanded out dead flat before we go to finish sand - I just don't want to remove any more material that absolutly necessary at this early stage. This is a piece of Honduran Mahogany. I bought enough of it for hopefully the rest of my career which would be awesome because it's getting exceedingly difficult to find in general, and of this quality and size in specific. Just to give you an idea...
The ceilings in this workshop are 12 feet tall, and these boards were 17 feet long. You just don't find lumber - these sizes - that frequently anymore. Here is a piece that was sawn out of one of those boards and prepared closer to the size I need in order to make necks. The other material has been used to make internal blocks, other various structures.
This is just a little universal template I made and it accomodates all of my various neck lengths that I use in the making of the guitars. So I'm just going to lay this out on the board and then we'll take it over to the bandsaw. Mahogany is a reasonably light and incredibly stable wood, which makes it such a great neck wood. I'm cutting this out and this is going to sit on a shelf for probably a year to 18 months.
Even though this wood is very old and it's already been in my shop for several years - everytime you cut wood you release internal stresses and the wood will move. So when I build my necks, it's usually over a period of many months and sometimes years. Really nicely quarter sawn, straight grain, old growth, Hunduran Mahogany. Step one is we're going to trough this surface up which is where eventually the finger board is going to get glued on.
It's this ongoing process of making things flat and straight, letting it move, releasing stresses. I'm just going to cut a slot in these to install the truss rod. This is a tool called a router plane, and it's just going to make sure I have nice clean even depth at the bottom of my slots. That's good.
I'm going to establish the geometry for the neck. So we now have a clean, flat surface for a perfect glue joint. Boom. Even with no glue, you can hardly see the glue joint.
You can't. That's why all that orienting and matching the blocks from the same board of wood, it pays off at this stage a couple years later once you prepare the joint. Just clean up the squeeze-out, and we're done. Okay, we're going to cut a fingerboard.
This is my old, old, old table saw that has been relegated to this one task at this point. This is a fixture I made 25 years ago. Another one of my temporary fixtures that just works fine so I'm still using it. Here's a piece of ebony.
This comes from Cameroon. It's been brought to thickest for one of concert classical guitars, model C1. These are fret-slotting templates that are available at various luthierie supply stores. There it is: twenty slots.
All we have to do now is cut out the taper, the correct nut width, and this will get glued onto a neck a little bit later. Julien is now installing the purflings. These are a composite laminate of wood veneers that have been dyed and sliced into thin strips. They're for aesthetic purposes only.
Unlike the purflings, which are mainly aesthetic, the bindings actually are installed to protect the joint between the soundboard and the rim set, or the back and the rim set, in case the guitar were to fall, or to take some kind of shock or impact. So, what this contraption is doing is: it's establishing the geometry between the neck and the body in three planes; in the vertical off the soundboard, which is going to establish the playability and the string height; left to right on the center line, which speaks for itself; also to make sure the neck goes down parallel to the top, because you don't want the neck to go askew. Because of the dial indicator and the mechanics of this fixture, I can dial in the neck geometry to within one-thousandth of an inch. So, for the player, it's exceptional.
So, this is a truss rod, and what it does is: it's job is to counter the pull of the strings to keep the neck straight. So, this gets installed up against this little block of wood, which keeps it from moving backwards, and I'm going put in a mahogany filler strip on the top, which will help prevent any buzz. I'm just mixing up some marine-grade apoxy to glue the fingerboards on the necks now that everything has been prepared. And the reason I use apoxy as opposed to traditional hide glue -- the animal glue that we used earlier -- or even some of the other polyurethane resin glues, is they contain water.
We've gone through this entire process of drying things out, getting them straight and level-- if you add water to wood, the wood moves. So, I try and use non-water-based glues in the neck to keep things from moving around. So, the neck has now been rough carved, the majority of the material removed, so any movement that's happened in the neck, it's pretty much this is where it's going to live. This dial indicator is showing me there is about two or three thousandths of an inch of what we call back bow, which is a hump in the neck, and which is totally normal because we've removed wood from this surface and my job is now going to be to flatten this out in a straight plane from the nut to the bridge while maintaining my compound radius of my fret board.
Down here, I'm about minus half a thousandth. Here, I'm about plus half a thousandth. Here, I'm reading zero. Here, it's half a thousandth, so that needs a little more work.
This sandpaper is at a fine enough grit now that it's not going to change the geometry of the fingerboard or its radius. So as you see, we're moving across the entire fret board. That's pretty much dead flat. Perfect fret work and neck geometry is a big deal.
With hand tools to get it within 5/10's, it's more than acceptable. So, I buy fret wire in large rolls like. This particular comes from Germany. It's really super high-quality stuff, and this gold colour: it's really a copper-titanium alloy, or at least that's my understanding of what it is; and it's much hard than the conventional nickel-silver fret wire that we've been using for...
The last sixty years? Maybe seventy years? So, it lasts longer. As you can see becuase of the binding on the fingerboard, the fret can't go all the way through like on some of the older guitars; so I have to cut the tang, this T-part of the fret, to fit exactly into the slot. So, I use this little tool, and then each fret will be cut specifically for a slot, and I have to keep them in order. One side is plastic, one side is brass.
Both of which are softer than the fret material, so that way when I'm hammering, I don't deform the frets. Okay, so everything appears to be really well seated. Now, I just want to see if there are any high frets at this point. If there was a high fret anywhere, I would feel it and hear it rocking.
So now that the frets are in this neck before we finish carving it and do the final fitting of it, I just need to open up what will become the nut slot. So, I got this little fixture that I made, and what it does is: it's got the correct angle for the angle of the peg head, where the tuners go, so the nut sits in a parallel slot. This little gauge block is the same thickness as my nut. So now I'm making the cut! That tool is set to stop just short of the bottom, as you can see.
I'm just going to clean this up a little bit with a chisel. And that's it. One nut slot. I'm going to glue a heel cap on the end of the heel, which is this part of the neck down here.
If there are any adjustments to be made to the geometry, that's when it will happen. And it is exactly on the center line. Now that the frets are in it, it needs to be increased a little bit, but I will do that after I put the heel cap on. Now I'm going to transfer these little tick marks that I made to the neck, and I use the protractor to set the angle that will match the taper of the back, so when you look at the finished instrument, all the lines flow together naturally.
Okay, so I'm going to make sure everything is fitting snug, which it is. Let's put some glue on this. I'm doing two things now: I'm matching the fit of this piece of mahogany to this piece of mahogany, so you get a super clean, super sharp line, and at this end, I am increasing the pitch of the neck ever so slightly. Doesn't take much.
The neck angle is a real big deal. Beside the obvious ease of playability and comfort for the player, it's a key component in how the string energy is transferred to the soundboard, and how the whole system works. So if you get it right, you'll have a really comfortable instrument to play that's super responsive. When I make my bridges, I drill these two little holes in them, and what they allow me to do is to put the bridge exactly where it needs to be now.
Drilled those two holes in the soundboard, so that after I mask and remove the tape I can just put the bridge back in the right place without disturbing the finish, and everything will be perfectly intonated. So, it should be somewhere around here. Hopefully, it won't move. So now that this is in the right place, I'm still going to check it one more time, because it's that important.
If you don't put it in the right place, you have to take the top off and go again. Ask me how I know. We're basically at finish sanding now. The guitar has been rough-sanded to a high grit, everything has been flattened, everything is smooth, round.
There are no little wavy sections. So now I'm going to bring it up to the final coarseness, or fineness, of sandpaper before it goes into the finish room. All of my final sanding I do by hand, inline with the grain. I'm just going to mask off the area of the soundboard, where the bridge is going to sit and where the fingerboard is going to be glue down, because you need to glue to wood -- you can't glue to finish.
With clean hands, I put down this piece of tape, which is really, really thin. It's about the same thickness as the finish. I have these little templates that I use for masking off the instrument. I have a surgical scalpel with a fresh blade, and I'm just going to very carefully trim the mask.
Okay, so this guitar has had its first session of finish applied to it. It's what we refer to as the base coat. So, most of this finish is going to get sanded off. Right now, everything is shiny, and you'll see as we sand it, the shiny goes away, but sometimes you'll see little shiny spots.
And the shiny spot represents a low area in the finish, so I have bring all of this surface down to a point where there are no more shiny spots; and that means everything is flat and level. See, I don't know if you could see, but there's like still a little shiny spot. So, that's a low spot. We're going to take off all the masking tape we put on a few weeks ago before this went into finish, so that we re-expose the wood and I have a good surface to glue to.
We're gonna attach the neck. It doesn't have to be hot. You just want to take the chill off of it, so that the glue doesn't gel before I'm ready. Here we have a bridge that we made a couple weeks ago.
It has a tiny little ledge. The ledge is one thousandth of an inch smaller than the lip left by the paint, which is four thousandths of an inch. So what happens is when this sits exactly where it needs to, it perfectly sits over the paint and there is just enough room left for the glue. So here I have a couple little wooden dowels that are exactly the right size to fit in here.
And this will keep everything aligned during clamping. I'm going to heat up the parts, apply some hide glue, clamp it in place. So now that this has been done these guitars will sit like this overnight preferably for 24 hours before I move onto the next step - when we'll install the tuners and put the strings on. We're going to fit the nut and saddle to this guitar.
This here is a saddle blank. It's just a rectangular piece of cow bone. I've taken that blank and brought it to the correct thickness and shaped the ends so that it fits precisely in this slot. As you can hear, it's a very tight fit.
So, the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to establish a radius at the top of this that's going to match the radius of the fret board. I'm just going to check the bottom of the saddle for flatness and square, because it's really important that I make good contact. There's a good fit. That's a good starting point.
This is an old guitar-maker's trick: you take a half pencil and that's going to tell me where I need to be height-wise. This one I'm going to actually file off square a little bit, because it goes to the two outside tuners and they actually splay a little bit more. Here's a set of strings. Because everything I do is custom, the spring spacings change from guitar to guitar.
So unfortunately, there's no quick way to do this. So what I'm about to do now is set some basic intonation points, and make any fine adjustments in a couple of weeks after the guitar's had some time to settle. Just like the nut has an angle to it so that the strings don't buzz, I need the same angle on the back so the strings don't buzz; unless of course, I was making a sitar. Okay so, at this stage, everything is very over-sized.
Nothing is very refined. It's just some basic measurements to get me in the ballpark. Two weeks from now, I'm going to dress the frets -- leveling of the frets, recrowning them and shaping them if it needs to be. I'll set the intonation at that point in time.
But right now, I just want to get this guitar to a state, where it can get used to being a guitar; because right now, it still thinks it's a tree. When I string up a guitar for the first time, I'm always in awe. It's just a few bits of wood and some glue, and now it's making music! It never gets old, and it never loses its magic. I should be pretty close.
Okay so, it's been a couple weeks since you were here last. These guitars have been strung to pitch, and they're ready to be adjusted to their final adjustment and final set-up. Set what we refer to as the action, which is string height between the twelfth fret and the bottom of the string. It's kind of a little bit of a ballet dance between bringing the string height down on the nut end, and then correcting the neck relief, and then finally bringing it down on the saddle.
And I can take a measurement using this guage. So, this particular string is going to come down by three thousandths of an inch. I'm chasing a little bit less than the thickness of a piece of paper. Okay, the next step in the process is to check the intonation of the guitar.
I have this strobe tuner that I've had for... Twenty-something years? A long time, but because it's super accurate. This one is right on. This one's right on.
It's really close. I'll tweak it. These strings have been on and off several times. This guitar is now ready to have the frets dressed.
This is a single-cut, metal file with the same radius to it as the top of the fret. Perfect intonation happens when the string touches the top dead center. That's as much as we've removed. Like, sparks! Like, teeny-tiny little molecules.
I'm going to repolish these, so they're like little bits of jewelry sitting on top of the guitar. I learned this technique over twenty years ago from a legendary guitar-maker and a guitar-repairer by the name of Roger Sadowsky. He's the guy who taught me how to do this, so thank you Roger. I'm going to be adding a little bit of a treatment and protector to the fingerboard.
Now that the frets have been polished, this will help seal and nourish the ebony without making gummy or sticky. I fabricate these little mahogany plates. They fit over the bolts that hold the neck on. It's just a little aesthetic touch rather than leaving exposed bolts.
And we can take out the little label protector that we put on three months ago, and trace this to the curvature of the fingerboard. Flip over to a finer grit. Right now, I'm just shaping the edges of the nut for two reasons: one is aesthetic, but more important, it gets rid of the sharp edge so the player won't feel it. It's more comfortable.
And I'm going relieve the back edge. I'm just putting a little bit of this lubricant. There's graphite in it, and it helps the strings move in the slot. The glue isn't here so much as to hold the nut in -- there's a couple hundred pounds of string pull holding it down, so it's not going anywhere -- it's just to keep it from sliding around when the player is changing strings.
Just put the truss rod cover on. We're at the end. At this stage, there's no more playing, there's no more touching. I'm giving it its final inspection; and once we put it in the case, the next person to touch this guitar will be its new owner.
I'm just going to put the packet that contains the documentation for the guitar: certificate of authenticity, warranty information, there's like a care and feeding packet. There's also the key to adjust the truss rod, and there's a little shield for when you change strings so you don't dent the top. These cases are made in Croatia. They're carbon-fibre experts.
In my opinion, these are the finest cases in the world, and as you can see they're fit to my guitars. I send them drawings of each of my instruments. And... That's it.
I hope this has afforded you some insight into my craft, as well as the precision and attention to meticulous detail that goes into the fashioning of each one of my guitars. No guitar will ever leave my workbench unless I feel it is the best work I am capable of. More information about my work, how to order, and pricing is available on my website: greenfieldguitars.Com Thank you for watching..
This documentary captures the journey, the process and the actual work in progress - glue smudges, ebony dust and all. What you're about to see took place over the period of four to five months. We're going to start bending sides, to form a rimset. I use a laminated rimset which means I take pieces of wood, sand them very thin to make veneers out of them and glue a whole bunch of them together.
It makes a more rigid structure. So, we're going to add a little bit of water to this and wrap it in paper. The paper just keeps everything clean. I have these silicone rubber blankets, and one of them has a thermal couple on it, which is basically a thermometer.
It gets plugged into these controllers. These controllers are programmed to ramp up to - in my case - 250 F, for one minute. Then it will ramp down to 190 F, and it will hold it there for half an hour. Then it will turn off and cool to room temperature.
You can see even from the weight of the clamp as it starts to heat up, you can see the wood starting to sag. The heat will plasticize the natural resins that occur in the wood and allow it to bend. Then when it cools off again, those resins will resolidify and hold the piece in place. I just sit and watch the numbers, and smell the wood.
It's been a few hours, everything has cooled to room temperature. You can see some of the resin that has come out of it. This is Julien, my apprentice and he is going to be installing the linings on this rimset. The linings are these little bendy pieces of woods that glued to the sides of the laminated rimset to increase the gluing surface so that the top and back will have more to stick to.
Julien is bending the linings on this hot pipe with a damp paper towel on it to create steam and help the wood become more plastic and bend. While the linings themselves are fabricated with those little cuts to make it easy to bend it makes for a cleaner, more precise fit when we use heat to help form the part. So this is a really beautiful set of moon harvested alpine spruce. What they'll do is fell a tree, find the straightest, most beautiful part of the log, split that part of the log in half split it into quarters, and then wedges.
They orientate that onto the saw so all the grain is vertical - these consecutive slices are opened up like a book - which is referred to as bookmatching. So these two consecutive slices which were numbered by the sawyer make up one guitar top. That's pretty common. It's very stiff and light - it makes for great guitars.
You can hear it already. It's making music - all by itself. Ok! Let's turn this into a guitar top. So we just cleaned this up - it's easier for me to see and work with it.
This is what we refer to as a pitch pocket - the natural resin that occures in the wood. I have it on this side as well. So, I want to make sure this falls outside of the guitar outline. This is absolutly not a problem, it's completely outside of the outline of the guitar.
And this one is also outside the outline of the guitar. So I'm good. If this pitch pocket occured somewhere else in the set of wood, I would of haved to reject it. Which is unfortunate but, it's just the way it goes.
Let's take a little hot hide glue. That's it! We'll come back in a few hours and see how we did. What I'm doing here is removing excess weight from the X-brace. By retaining the full height of the brace, I keep much of it's structural integrity And by pyramiding it towards the top, I'm removing - I don't know what percentage - but quite a bit of it's weight.
So it makes a for a strong and light brace. It's all about making a responsive guitar. I remove mass to get the system as effecient as possible, but without going to far - which will result in a weak voice or at worst, structural failure. This is just a quick rough sanding, certainly not finished.
So this is hide glue - animal glue - it's gelatin. I'm going to put this on to heat up now, it will be ready in about ten minutes. This thing is referred to as a Go-Bar Deck, and it's a very ancient way of clamping things. My understanding is that it was developped thousands of years ago in ancient China and they used bamboo sticks.

So, I got this little fixture that I made, and what it does is: it's got the correct angle for the angle of the peg head, where the tuners go, so the nut sits in a parallel slot. This little gauge block is the same thickness as my nut. So now I'm making the cut! That tool is set to stop just short of the bottom, as you can see.
I'm just going to clean this up a little bit with a chisel. And that's it. One nut slot. I'm going to glue a heel cap on the end of the heel, which is this part of the neck down here.
If there are any adjustments to be made to the geometry, that's when it will happen. And it is exactly on the center line. Now that the frets are in it, it needs to be increased a little bit, but I will do that after I put the heel cap on. Now I'm going to transfer these little tick marks that I made to the neck, and I use the protractor to set the angle that will match the taper of the back, so when you look at the finished instrument, all the lines flow together naturally.
Okay, so I'm going to make sure everything is fitting snug, which it is. Let's put some glue on this. I'm doing two things now: I'm matching the fit of this piece of mahogany to this piece of mahogany, so you get a super clean, super sharp line, and at this end, I am increasing the pitch of the neck ever so slightly. Doesn't take much.
The neck angle is a real big deal. Beside the obvious ease of playability and comfort for the player, it's a key component in how the string energy is transferred to the soundboard, and how the whole system works. So if you get it right, you'll have a really comfortable instrument to play that's super responsive. When I make my bridges, I drill these two little holes in them, and what they allow me to do is to put the bridge exactly where it needs to be now.
Drilled those two holes in the soundboard, so that after I mask and remove the tape I can just put the bridge back in the right place without disturbing the finish, and everything will be perfectly intonated. So, it should be somewhere around here. Hopefully, it won't move. So now that this is in the right place, I'm still going to check it one more time, because it's that important.
If you don't put it in the right place, you have to take the top off and go again. Ask me how I know. We're basically at finish sanding now. The guitar has been rough-sanded to a high grit, everything has been flattened, everything is smooth, round.
There are no little wavy sections. So now I'm going to bring it up to the final coarseness, or fineness, of sandpaper before it goes into the finish room. All of my final sanding I do by hand, inline with the grain. I'm just going to mask off the area of the soundboard, where the bridge is going to sit and where the fingerboard is going to be glue down, because you need to glue to wood -- you can't glue to finish.
With clean hands, I put down this piece of tape, which is really, really thin. It's about the same thickness as the finish. I have these little templates that I use for masking off the instrument. I have a surgical scalpel with a fresh blade, and I'm just going to very carefully trim the mask.
Okay, so this guitar has had its first session of finish applied to it. It's what we refer to as the base coat. So, most of this finish is going to get sanded off. Right now, everything is shiny, and you'll see as we sand it, the shiny goes away, but sometimes you'll see little shiny spots.
And the shiny spot represents a low area in the finish, so I have bring all of this surface down to a point where there are no more shiny spots; and that means everything is flat and level. See, I don't know if you could see, but there's like still a little shiny spot. So, that's a low spot. We're going to take off all the masking tape we put on a few weeks ago before this went into finish, so that we re-expose the wood and I have a good surface to glue to.
We're gonna attach the neck. It doesn't have to be hot. You just want to take the chill off of it, so that the glue doesn't gel before I'm ready. Here we have a bridge that we made a couple weeks ago.
It has a tiny little ledge. The ledge is one thousandth of an inch smaller than the lip left by the paint, which is four thousandths of an inch. So what happens is when this sits exactly where it needs to, it perfectly sits over the paint and there is just enough room left for the glue. So here I have a couple little wooden dowels that are exactly the right size to fit in here.
And this will keep everything aligned during clamping. I'm going to heat up the parts, apply some hide glue, clamp it in place. So now that this has been done these guitars will sit like this overnight preferably for 24 hours before I move onto the next step - when we'll install the tuners and put the strings on. We're going to fit the nut and saddle to this guitar.
This here is a saddle blank. It's just a rectangular piece of cow bone. I've taken that blank and brought it to the correct thickness and shaped the ends so that it fits precisely in this slot. As you can hear, it's a very tight fit.
So, the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to establish a radius at the top of this that's going to match the radius of the fret board. I'm just going to check the bottom of the saddle for flatness and square, because it's really important that I make good contact. There's a good fit. That's a good starting point.
This is an old guitar-maker's trick: you take a half pencil and that's going to tell me where I need to be height-wise. This one I'm going to actually file off square a little bit, because it goes to the two outside tuners and they actually splay a little bit more. Here's a set of strings. Because everything I do is custom, the spring spacings change from guitar to guitar.
So unfortunately, there's no quick way to do this. So what I'm about to do now is set some basic intonation points, and make any fine adjustments in a couple of weeks after the guitar's had some time to settle. Just like the nut has an angle to it so that the strings don't buzz, I need the same angle on the back so the strings don't buzz; unless of course, I was making a sitar. Okay so, at this stage, everything is very over-sized.
Nothing is very refined. It's just some basic measurements to get me in the ballpark. Two weeks from now, I'm going to dress the frets -- leveling of the frets, recrowning them and shaping them if it needs to be. I'll set the intonation at that point in time.
But right now, I just want to get this guitar to a state, where it can get used to being a guitar; because right now, it still thinks it's a tree. When I string up a guitar for the first time, I'm always in awe. It's just a few bits of wood and some glue, and now it's making music! It never gets old, and it never loses its magic. I should be pretty close.
Okay so, it's been a couple weeks since you were here last. These guitars have been strung to pitch, and they're ready to be adjusted to their final adjustment and final set-up. Set what we refer to as the action, which is string height between the twelfth fret and the bottom of the string. It's kind of a little bit of a ballet dance between bringing the string height down on the nut end, and then correcting the neck relief, and then finally bringing it down on the saddle.
And I can take a measurement using this guage. So, this particular string is going to come down by three thousandths of an inch. I'm chasing a little bit less than the thickness of a piece of paper. Okay, the next step in the process is to check the intonation of the guitar.
I have this strobe tuner that I've had for... Twenty-something years? A long time, but because it's super accurate. This one is right on. This one's right on.
It's really close. I'll tweak it. These strings have been on and off several times. This guitar is now ready to have the frets dressed.
This is a single-cut, metal file with the same radius to it as the top of the fret. Perfect intonation happens when the string touches the top dead center. That's as much as we've removed. Like, sparks! Like, teeny-tiny little molecules.
I'm going to repolish these, so they're like little bits of jewelry sitting on top of the guitar. I learned this technique over twenty years ago from a legendary guitar-maker and a guitar-repairer by the name of Roger Sadowsky. He's the guy who taught me how to do this, so thank you Roger. I'm going to be adding a little bit of a treatment and protector to the fingerboard.
Now that the frets have been polished, this will help seal and nourish the ebony without making gummy or sticky. I fabricate these little mahogany plates. They fit over the bolts that hold the neck on. It's just a little aesthetic touch rather than leaving exposed bolts.
And we can take out the little label protector that we put on three months ago, and trace this to the curvature of the fingerboard. Flip over to a finer grit. Right now, I'm just shaping the edges of the nut for two reasons: one is aesthetic, but more important, it gets rid of the sharp edge so the player won't feel it. It's more comfortable.
And I'm going relieve the back edge. I'm just putting a little bit of this lubricant. There's graphite in it, and it helps the strings move in the slot. The glue isn't here so much as to hold the nut in -- there's a couple hundred pounds of string pull holding it down, so it's not going anywhere -- it's just to keep it from sliding around when the player is changing strings.
Just put the truss rod cover on. We're at the end. At this stage, there's no more playing, there's no more touching. I'm giving it its final inspection; and once we put it in the case, the next person to touch this guitar will be its new owner.
I'm just going to put the packet that contains the documentation for the guitar: certificate of authenticity, warranty information, there's like a care and feeding packet. There's also the key to adjust the truss rod, and there's a little shield for when you change strings so you don't dent the top. These cases are made in Croatia. They're carbon-fibre experts.
In my opinion, these are the finest cases in the world, and as you can see they're fit to my guitars. I send them drawings of each of my instruments. And... That's it.
I hope this has afforded you some insight into my craft, as well as the precision and attention to meticulous detail that goes into the fashioning of each one of my guitars. No guitar will ever leave my workbench unless I feel it is the best work I am capable of.

Lovers of Music - EP 2 [SUBKOR, ENG, CHN, MLY, VIE, IND]
Who is it? Does Choi Chunhui live... You are Choi Chunhui? (Episode 2) You did this to me. You purposefully ruined the popular - Music God, Jang Junhyeon. / - What? If you hadn't caused a scene about the medal, or made trouble at the hotel...
The reason I was dragged into this scandal, the reason I'm with you right now looking at your ugly face, the reason the internet is flooded with lies and criticisms, the reason the world is filled with lies and distrust, the reason why forces of evil rule this world is you! It's all because of you, Medal Witch! Who are you, Mister? Byeol, go inside. Go inside and lock the door. Now. He wants me to train you? I can't do it.
I won't! Who will train whom? He appears out of nowhere and talks nonsense. I can train anyone else, but not her. I would never do it. - Hello? / - Unit 1006? Move out right now! Did you come to pick up your things? Sir.
I thought you'd be busy, but here you are. How could you do this to me? I was going to try my best and take her on. But it's impossible? She doesn't have the looks, and her singing is probably terrible, too. So you give up? It's beyond your capability, is that it? Pardon? I mean, I could do it if I must, but when I think of all that I went through because of her...
It still wakes me up in the middle of the night. I guess you had a bad experience with her? You have no idea. I wouldn't do it for a million dollars. No, I can't do it.
I have no choice then. I can't force you to do it against your will. I knew you would understand. While I have your attention...
Get out. Where are we? Drag him out! Okay, okay. W-Wait. That is a courthouse.
Why are we... I invested a million dollars into your next album. And the penalties from your sponsors add up to 2 million dollars. And above all else, you must reimburse Shine Star for bringing down our image.
That's 3 million dollars! You can read the rest yourself. Sir! Why are you doing this? You're kidding, right? You said you can't do it. That means our contract has terminated automatically. Sir! You still think the world, no, the universe revolves around you, don't you? Keep living that way.
Let's see where that gets you. - Sir. / - Let go! Please. Please, give me another chance.
I've already given you a chance. Who are you? - Who are you to just... / - Where is your dad? - What? / - Choi Myeongsik. Where is your dad hiding? You should repay the money you borrow! Shouldn't you? No, I can't do it.
I won't! I'm warning you. We won't go easy on you because you're a girl. So spill it. I don't know where he is either.
We are just waiting for his call. You are just waiting? There is nothing of value in this rat hole. This is ridiculous. Destiny must be drawing us together.
- Goodbye. / - Hey! Hey! Where are you going? I have nothing to do with her. - You just said that she is your destiny. / - I...
Hello. Please tell them I have nothing to do with you. He has nothing to do with me. He brought his stuff to move in together, but you guys have nothing to do with each other? You look very familiar.
Did you borrow money from us? - You look so familiar. / - What? So why did you have to come... Why did you have to come? - What should we do, Boss? / - What else? We can't bury a girl. "Bury"? - Wait...
/ - You said she is your destiny. You're burying something with them? If you can't keep your promise, you should die. Stop! Why are you doing this to me? No! Please don't do this. I'll pay you back somehow.
Please give me some time. We don't have time. We're very busy! I can't get it right now. Let me get a job and pay you back slowly...
You are nuts! Pay it back slowly? She can make money right away! She is like a cash machine. She is a singer. You know Shine Star? She's signing with them tomorrow. Hey! What are you babbling about? Is that true? No.
Are you a singer? - No. / - Then sing. I'm not a singer. He's just babbling.
- Sing. / - She says she's not a singer! Hello? What? You lost him at the train station? Catch him and break his legs on the spot. No! No. Are you talking about my dad? I don't care if he's your dad! People who don't pay back money should die! What did you say? Die? Why are you using such scary words? Bury him somewhere close in the mountain.
Okay, bury him in a nearby mountain. - Bury... / - Hey. Bury him up to here.
Bury his head, too! What? Even the head? Hurry up and bury this one, too! Yes, Boss. No. No! Why are you doing this to me? I really have nothing to do with her! I'll sing! I'll sing! You told me to sing! I'll sing. Really.
I want to build a picturesque house On the green prairie And live with my beloved For a hundred years Seeds sown in the spring In the spring Will bloom flowers in the summer In the summer We will harvest during the fall And be happy in the winter The cool tall buildings may tower over us And it may be cool to follow the trends I'm happy as long as I'm with my love As long as I can live with my love You're good. You have a nice voice. Him with that over his head... The two of them work well together.
- Right? / - You're right, Boss. Hey, are you really signing with the agency tomorrow? Of course! I can vouch for her. Stop it already. Is that so? I'll remember you.
Tomorrow, we'll go to that Sham Star or whatever together. Let's go, Boss. - Did they leave? / - Hush. They're leaving.
- Did they leave? / - Yes, they left. What are you doing? Remove this! Nice! I got you! Tell me, what do you want me to do? Shall I play Yoot with you twice next New Year's Day? Or shall I be your driver for a year? I don't need any of that. Run the company for a year. What? Just maintain the status quo.
No more, no less. It's just for one year. I'll hand it over to a professional manager next year. Why wait a year? Do it now.
It'd be even better if you just continue to run it. People age so quickly after retiring. You lost the bet. Stop whining.
You know that I let you win. Since I live in luxury thanks to you, I let you win to repay you. Whatever. Yes, 5:30 today.
I know. I'll see you at the hospital. You go to the meeting with Director Yang today. I don't expect you to do well.
Work one millionth of what I spent on your education. Your genre is trot music? I don't believe this. How perfectly befitting. Both you and the music are so outdated.
You look good with a shovel. Isn't this a worm? I hate worms! Get rid of it! How is this scary? You act as you look. It looks cute to me. Hey! There's a bigger one here! Get rid of it! Hey! Hello? I said to get rid of this! Sorry? The body had my father's ID? Hey! Okay.
Hey! Where are you going? Where are you going? Hey! You're kidding, right? Hey! Number 17! No. It's not my dad. Thank you. Thank you.
Is anyone there? Hello? Somebody help! Is that a ghost? Don't come closer! Don't come closer! Did you stretch properly? Coach. When I went to identify the body, I prayed that it wasn't my dad. That's all I hoped for. But now that I know it's not my dad, I'm relieved, but I feel angry, too.
To be honest, I resent him so much. How could he not even call? How could he do this to Byeol and me? The day you collapsed on the track, your father came to school. My dad? Ms. Bang.
Please save my daughter. You said a marathoner must know when to give up. You said that was a skill, too. But my kid is so stupid that once she starts running, she doesn't know when to give up.
You saw earlier, right? She'll die like that one day. Ms. Bang. Please stop her.
If your father disappeared, he must have a good reason. He loves you and your sister more than anyone in the world. You know that. I know.
Sungguridangdang sungdangdang Sungguridangdang sungdangdang Chunhui, is that you? My sister said not to open the door for strange people. Strange? I'm the least strange person you are going to meet. I'm a celebrity 50 million people know. Kid, you really don't know me? Are you really a celebrity? Then why are you so dirty? It's a long story.
I'm not strange anymore, right? Kid, do you have anything to eat? Come with me. You must eat to survive. - Look here. / - Okay.
Not that. The lower shelf. Eat that. That one's older.
Chunhui tells me to eat the newer ones, but that's wrong. We must eat the older ones first. So this is the old one, and this is the new one. April 2014? Are you sure this is the new one? This is what you guys live on? Just close the fridge.
Mom, why did you suddenly make dinner plans? I can't stop by the shop now. It's the first dinner since the new president started. You can't let others get first dibs. You just follow my lead.
Fine. That must be the car you sent. Bye. - You're headed to Yuyu Hotel, right? / - Yes.
Okay. So how should I treat the nepotism president? I'll just act as I normally do, okay? I'll just sit quietly and have dinner. I'll smile if he asks anything. Okay.
Okay. But Mom, the driver's a little weird. He keeps looking at me. - Why are you following me? / - I'm not.
Right. Here. Here. Thanks.
Do you need something else? What's your problem? How are you coming together? Mom, what's wrong with this guy? He keeps following me. - Hello. / - Welcome, Mr. President.
I saw you from the picture. Please, have a seat. Suin, why aren't you sitting down? Okay. I heard that President Cho went away on vacation.
Since his son has matured so well, I guess he can rest now. I don't know about that. It will only be for a year. I'm just a fill-in while Father's resting.
Let me introduce you. She's my daughter, a trainee at Shine Star. She's very busy lately practicing for the audition. She's pretty.
She takes after you. You know about the audition to choose the top trainee at Shine Star, right? I wonder if it'll proceed as planned without President Cho. Nothing will change with my coming to the company. Everything will go as planned.
Your father was a judge in the past. I guess you'll be the judge this time? Oh. Can't we hire someone else? I don't see why not. I think it would be best for you to do it yourself.
I'm sure there are many people watching you. I see. If that's how you feel, Director. - Chunhui! / - Hey, Byeol.
You must be hungry. I'll make something quickly. Chunhui, I think you should become a singer. - What? / - I like it when you sing.
So if you sing for other people, they'll feel good too, like I do. Who told you that? The water pressure is just awful. It barely even drips. What's your deal? Why are you showering in my house? You forgot why I was buried in the ground? You want me, Jang Junhyeon to walk around looking like that? Why is President Cho obsessed with her? Who's President Cho? And why does he want me to become a singer? Does he know me? That's what I'd like to ask.
Just what is going on? What are you babbling about? Do you have any other ways to resolve the situation? Do you really think those guys won't find your dad? You need to pay them back before they do! So Chunhui will become a singer tomorrow? That's right. She'll become a hit, thanks to me. Do you have a blow dryer? Dry your hair outside. Hey! - Leave.
/ - Goodness! - Leave. / - Look, I hate your tiny rat hole, too. It's dirty! I'm going to a hotel. So hurry up and leave.
And don't come back. Bye. That witch. Goodness! It's for the song you gave me.
You wrote my debut song, remember? That man is lying on the bench. Don't worry about him and come to bed. Ta-da. There.
Chunhui, if you become a singer, will you take pictures wearing a sparkly dress? What? Mom wore a dress. Well, that's... You'll be on TV too, right? It would be so nice to see you on TV. Then Dad will be able to hear your song somewhere, too.
Then he may think of us and come back quickly, right? Shall we go to sleep? Good night. Do you have 40,000 dollars? If I had money to pay the penalty for breaching the contract, I'd quit right this instant. Goodness. I can never straighten this wretched back.
Ouch. W-What in the world? Give me a break! Seriously. Why must I suffer like this? Mister! Hush. You'll wake Chunhui.
- Good night, Mister. / - Good night to you, too. Mister, come eat. What...
You eat fried rice for breakfast? Then don't eat. This fried rice has seaweed. How strange. Of course it has.
It's made with rice balls. Why did you use rice balls to make fried rice? It's cold if you don't fry it. Is this that expired rice from yesterday? Are you trying to kill me? Eat that. Yusik.
I told you to take good care of them. Yes, of course, Boss. - They have a big day ahead of them. / - Yes, Boss.
Okay. Be careful. Careful. Our important guests.
Shall I take you to the president's office myself? - That's okay! / - That's okay! Among the three judges are myself and Yun Geon, the music critic. The new president can't do anything on his own. Are you sure that music critic is one of our people? Of course. He's my friend from high school.
Suin is a shoo-in, with her skills and everything. Trust me. When you were studying in New York was there a Cho Geunu in your class? What is he like? Not like that. I mean his personality, interests, his past relationships, something like that.
Hello. Why did you hang up like that? Well... You're here early. I'm practicing for the audition.
I'm sorry about yesterday. What? You were right. I am here thanks to nepotism. Why didn't you say that you aren't the driver? You never asked, so why should I...
Why did you let a strange girl into your car? I was going to Yuyu Hotel, too. And it's better to go with a pretty girl than to go alone. I really want to win this audition. If I do, buy me dinner.
You can do that, right? I don't want to. If you win, you should be the one buying dinner. Oh, that's works, too. So you'll buy.
- And the money from yesterday... / - Oh, right. Thanks. Why isn't he picking up? The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.
Wait right here. Okay. Hello? Is this the childcare center? I'm sorry, but could you bring Byeol home today? Thank you. Incorrect code.
You're that strange man at the sports center, right? Do you know me? Incorrect code. Oops. Hey. Not that.
That! Excuse me. Give me back my cell phone! Give it. Why are you taking my cell phone? You're so strange. You must really be a kleptomaniac.
That that back. What? It must lock automatically from outside. This building has good security. Do you always do as you feel like? Why did you have to take my cell phone? You're the one who closed the door.
That's true, but... Shall we go down a floor? It may be open there. Okay. Wait.
It'll be tiring if we both go, so you go check it out. What? Just kidding. It's a joke. He really is strange.
Hello, is anyone there? Hello? There are people locked in here! Try calling the security desk. How would I know their number? I came here for the first time today. Then why were you in front of the president's office? I came to see him. Why? I don't want to tell you.
Hello? Excuse me, but where is the president? I'm not sure. Excuse me. Hey, what are you doing here? President Cho asked me to help him with something. President Cho? Right.
Here. I've been carrying it around to give it to you. What is it? You just left last time. It's okay.
Keep it. Don't think anything of it. No. I can't owe you of all people.
Fine, if that's how you feel. You don't need to get that? What? Oh. Hello? What? You're locked in? Do you have anyone else to call? It looks like he's not coming. Just what do you do for a living? Why did you randomly press the president's room's keypad? You tried to open random lockers at the gym, too.
And I'm not your secretary. You did it before, too. Why should I hold your drink? And you took my cell phone! You're such a weirdo! Wow, you talk fast. Seriously.
Goodness. Are you causing trouble already? Who's that? Let's go. So you're the president's son... His son? So the president's son became the president.
Exactly. So my father gave you a mission, is that it? To train this lady. And you came to sign a contract? Correct. Shall we call the president directly? The number you have dialed is currently...
Why did he turn his phone off? This is the document he gave me. Here. What is this? It's not a contract. It says she should participate in the audition.
Will you participate in the Next Shine Star audition? Choi Chunhui? What? - Me? / - It may be a cable channel, but it's a national broadcast. There is prize money, too. The first round is tomorrow. Tomorrow? How could she get ready in a day...
That's absurd! You two decide. We should try as much as we can. We can't give up. Do you have a plan? You want me to take the stage tomorrow? You think I can do it? I don't know what I'm saying either.
I'm going crazy. I've never dreamed of becoming a singer. My priority is to find a job. I need to feed Byeol.
I need to pay off Dad's debt. I must've lost my mind. Contract? I'm sorry about getting you buried. Just go your way now.
I'll take care of myself. Hey, wait... My window won't roll down all the way. Here she is, Boss.
How did it go? Did you sign the contract? What, you didn't? Sorry. I'll find a job and pay you back. Are you kidding me? Are you testing me? Where did that guy go? He left. What? But he really has nothing to do with me.
I swear... What's that in your hand? 100,000 Dollars? Boss, first place wins 100,000 dollars. From the second round, it'll be broadcast on cable. Everyone who passes the first round gets paid for being on TV.
They get paid. - Get in now. / - Why? Just get in. The first round is tomorrow.
How would it look to add a new contestant? The advertisements already state that it's an audition for trainees. I'm for adding new contestants. What's the objective of the Shine Star audition? It's to introduce a good talent under our company name. If President Cho Huimun recommended her there must be a good reason.
Yes. I'd like to meet her as soon as possible. May I ask what you're thinking? You said not to worry since the judges are you and our music critic. That's correct.
Suin is going to win anyway. The more people there are surrounding her, the better. That's true. - Hello, Boss.
/ - Hey. Pick one. You have to go on the audition. You need to wear something like this on the audition.
There is no need to feel bad. This is our gift. You heard him, right? Pick anything. Our boss prepared the latest fashion.
Don't feel bad, okay? How's this? This is nice. - What do you think, Boss? / - No, not that. Like this. How's this? - What? / - No.
Okay. The card is invalid. Is that President Cho? What should I do? I have something to say, too. What do you want me to do without a contract? Hello? Are you preparing for the audition? Well...
We should prepare for the audition, right? - What? / - We thought you were giving us a contract, but they said to prepare for the audition. I never offered you a contract. - Pardon? / - You want it for free? You thought it was that easy to train someone? W-Wait. You don't have any other ideas, do you? What? Of course not.
I'll be watching closely. Don't forget that. Yes, Sir. The audition preparations are going well.
So don't worry, Sir. Don't worry about anything. Okay. I trust you.
Seriously. It's not like I can run away. Midas didn't say anything? You said that you want to become a singer! Yes. But do I have to lower my nasal bridge? Then I'd have to shave the bone.
W-Why? Jang Donggun's face isn't the trend anymore. We need to follow the current trends. Let's not stop at the nose. Let's cut open the eyes and pull up the ends of your mouth.
You know the joker surgery, right? It's sexy. I made an appointment at a hospital I know well. Just deposit the payment into this account, okay? Gosh. - Seol Taesong? / - Yes? Let's take a look.
Say ah. Open wide. Okay, Nurse Kim! Prepare for tooth extraction. Two top teeth and two bottom teeth.
That was close. - Hello? / - Hey, where are you? - Who's this? / - It's me, Hyoyeol. Shin Hyoyeol. I heard you're my new manager.
What? I am? I'm at the villa in Cheongpyeong. Come get me. You know how far that is? Hello? Goodness. Hey! How could you leave a kid all alone? - What the...
/ - What? What? It's not like I said anything wrong? So did you decide to go on the audition? You're going to wear that? I didn't bring it because I wanted to. - Gosh! Seriously. / - Goodness. What's the point of the audition? What? What will you do, if you don't? Can you tell that thug tomorrow that you won't do it? Not me, you.
You. - What's in it for you? / - I'm... Stop asking and start. Okay, so...
You have a day to do what others did for 10 years. Forget breathing and projection. First, pick the song. Koongddari shabara bbabbabba Bbabbabba When you're down and frustrated I'm frustrated.
The image of you Approached me slowly Like Like a violet light Ganadaramabasa ahjachakatapaha May the heaven watch over us Fail! I cross hill after hill But there is still one left I guess trot is all you can do. I cross hill after hill - Stop! You're off beat! / - I'm just nervous. Pretend there's a string tied to your head. So you lift this note.
And sing like that. - Hill after hill / - Stop! Enunciate! - Say "Ah". / - Ah. Practice like that.
Gosh, I'm tired. I'm not sleeping. I cross hill after hill Why aren't you getting on? - Go up first. / - Why? I need to get something from the car.
Okay, get out. Hey! - Good luck! / - Thank you. Bye. Choi Chunhui! You need to pass in order to live! To live.
Go! - Good luck! / - Okay. Bye. Looking at your outfit, I guess today is the audition. Is that a compliment? Of course.
It looks good on you. Thank you. I guess today really is the audition. Sorry.
I didn't think I'd see you here. What are you doing here? - I came to audition. / - Why? You have an album coming out. Why would you audition? I'm still a trainee.
You're going to participate? We are ruined. Aren't you getting out? The theatre is off-limits other than to participants and staff members. Why am I not a staff member? See you later. This is the person President Cho recommended? Yes, she is.
- Hello. / - Hello. The trainees are curious to see who you are. Hey.
What? - Me? / - Yes, you. Don't you see the empty water container? Wow. Look at her. You're strong.
Hey. Water. - Pardon? / - Why? You have a problem with my asking for water? I'll get it for you. - Here you go.
/ - Look at what she's wearing. What era is that from? Are you singing a trot song or something? How did it go? I hope you receive a high praise. Thank you. Don't mind her.
She's the oldest here, that's why. Everyone must be nervous about the audition. I thought so, too. There's a lot of concern about Geunu? Do you agree with them? I'd never...
Don't worry too much. I know my son the best. When you said I have changed You weren't entirely wrong How I have changed surprises me, too You are so nice Oh, I don't know If my shadow forms Underneath the lonely moonlight Hello. Hello, I'm contestant No.
46, Park Suin. Your mother is... Oh, she is the legendary singer Yang Juhui, right? Yes. That fact alone gives me high hopes for you.
Why don't you begin? I found a person Someone I shouldn't love I can't, I can't She's pretty good. She's boring, though. Stand straight! Auditions are battles against the judges. Never break eye contact.
Charisma. - Choi Chunhui? / - Yes? Give me your cell phone and follow me. Okay. Is it the final contestant already? There she is.
Hello, I'm contestant No. 47, Choi Chunhui. Nice to meet you. - Mr.
President. / - You chose a trot song? Is there a reason you chose this song? Well, I... I grew up hearing my mom sing in the market while running her booth. This is her remake of an old song.
Your mother was a singer? Yes. She left behind one album. I see. What a moving story.
Yes. Have you ever been a trainee elsewhere or uploaded a video on YouTube or had any stage experience? No. None at all? None at all. How can someone like that even think of coming here? Let's hear you sing.
I cross hill after hill What's wrong with her? Oh my goodness. I cross hill after hill, but it never ends That's how the world is That's how life is Let's keep watching. It's interesting. If I am together with my love I can live happily For a thousand, ten thousand years That's how the world is That's how life is It's spicier than chili peppers I cross hill after hill But there is still one left She should've sung like this from the start! But it never ends That's how the world is That's how life is It's spicier than chili peppers If I am together with my love I can live happily For a thousand, ten thousand years That's how the world is That's how life is It's spicier than chili peppers Let's bring her.
We'll pay 10 times the contract fee. - I'll return the principal. / - What? She has too many flaws. And she is not even sexy.
How dare you... I hate eating alone. Mr. President.
Fancy running into you here. Our eyes met just earlier. Why do you think Jang Junhyeon hit rock bottom? You did it to him! You're forever out from this industry..
The reason I was dragged into this scandal, the reason I'm with you right now looking at your ugly face, the reason the internet is flooded with lies and criticisms, the reason the world is filled with lies and distrust, the reason why forces of evil rule this world is you! It's all because of you, Medal Witch! Who are you, Mister? Byeol, go inside. Go inside and lock the door. Now. He wants me to train you? I can't do it.
I won't! Who will train whom? He appears out of nowhere and talks nonsense. I can train anyone else, but not her. I would never do it. - Hello? / - Unit 1006? Move out right now! Did you come to pick up your things? Sir.
I thought you'd be busy, but here you are. How could you do this to me? I was going to try my best and take her on. But it's impossible? She doesn't have the looks, and her singing is probably terrible, too. So you give up? It's beyond your capability, is that it? Pardon? I mean, I could do it if I must, but when I think of all that I went through because of her...
It still wakes me up in the middle of the night. I guess you had a bad experience with her? You have no idea. I wouldn't do it for a million dollars. No, I can't do it.
I have no choice then. I can't force you to do it against your will. I knew you would understand. While I have your attention...
Get out. Where are we? Drag him out! Okay, okay. W-Wait. That is a courthouse.
Why are we... I invested a million dollars into your next album. And the penalties from your sponsors add up to 2 million dollars. And above all else, you must reimburse Shine Star for bringing down our image.
That's 3 million dollars! You can read the rest yourself. Sir! Why are you doing this? You're kidding, right? You said you can't do it. That means our contract has terminated automatically. Sir! You still think the world, no, the universe revolves around you, don't you? Keep living that way.
Let's see where that gets you. - Sir. / - Let go! Please. Please, give me another chance.
I've already given you a chance. Who are you? - Who are you to just... / - Where is your dad? - What? / - Choi Myeongsik. Where is your dad hiding? You should repay the money you borrow! Shouldn't you? No, I can't do it.
I won't! I'm warning you. We won't go easy on you because you're a girl. So spill it. I don't know where he is either.
We are just waiting for his call. You are just waiting? There is nothing of value in this rat hole. This is ridiculous. Destiny must be drawing us together.
- Goodbye. / - Hey! Hey! Where are you going? I have nothing to do with her. - You just said that she is your destiny. / - I...
Hello. Please tell them I have nothing to do with you. He has nothing to do with me. He brought his stuff to move in together, but you guys have nothing to do with each other? You look very familiar.
Did you borrow money from us? - You look so familiar. / - What? So why did you have to come... Why did you have to come? - What should we do, Boss? / - What else? We can't bury a girl. "Bury"? - Wait...
/ - You said she is your destiny. You're burying something with them? If you can't keep your promise, you should die. Stop! Why are you doing this to me? No! Please don't do this. I'll pay you back somehow.
Please give me some time. We don't have time. We're very busy! I can't get it right now. Let me get a job and pay you back slowly...
You are nuts! Pay it back slowly? She can make money right away! She is like a cash machine. She is a singer. You know Shine Star? She's signing with them tomorrow. Hey! What are you babbling about? Is that true? No.
Are you a singer? - No. / - Then sing. I'm not a singer. He's just babbling.
- Sing. / - She says she's not a singer! Hello? What? You lost him at the train station? Catch him and break his legs on the spot. No! No. Are you talking about my dad? I don't care if he's your dad! People who don't pay back money should die! What did you say? Die? Why are you using such scary words? Bury him somewhere close in the mountain.
Okay, bury him in a nearby mountain. - Bury... / - Hey. Bury him up to here.
Bury his head, too! What? Even the head? Hurry up and bury this one, too! Yes, Boss. No. No! Why are you doing this to me? I really have nothing to do with her! I'll sing! I'll sing! You told me to sing! I'll sing. Really.
I want to build a picturesque house On the green prairie And live with my beloved For a hundred years Seeds sown in the spring In the spring Will bloom flowers in the summer In the summer We will harvest during the fall And be happy in the winter The cool tall buildings may tower over us And it may be cool to follow the trends I'm happy as long as I'm with my love As long as I can live with my love You're good. You have a nice voice. Him with that over his head... The two of them work well together.
- Right? / - You're right, Boss. Hey, are you really signing with the agency tomorrow? Of course! I can vouch for her. Stop it already. Is that so? I'll remember you.
Tomorrow, we'll go to that Sham Star or whatever together. Let's go, Boss. - Did they leave? / - Hush. They're leaving.
- Did they leave? / - Yes, they left. What are you doing? Remove this! Nice! I got you! Tell me, what do you want me to do? Shall I play Yoot with you twice next New Year's Day? Or shall I be your driver for a year? I don't need any of that. Run the company for a year. What? Just maintain the status quo.
No more, no less. It's just for one year. I'll hand it over to a professional manager next year. Why wait a year? Do it now.
It'd be even better if you just continue to run it. People age so quickly after retiring. You lost the bet. Stop whining.
You know that I let you win. Since I live in luxury thanks to you, I let you win to repay you. Whatever. Yes, 5:30 today.
I know. I'll see you at the hospital. You go to the meeting with Director Yang today. I don't expect you to do well.
Work one millionth of what I spent on your education. Your genre is trot music? I don't believe this. How perfectly befitting. Both you and the music are so outdated.
You look good with a shovel. Isn't this a worm? I hate worms! Get rid of it! How is this scary? You act as you look. It looks cute to me. Hey! There's a bigger one here! Get rid of it! Hey! Hello? I said to get rid of this! Sorry? The body had my father's ID? Hey! Okay.
Hey! Where are you going? Where are you going? Hey! You're kidding, right? Hey! Number 17! No. It's not my dad. Thank you. Thank you.
Is anyone there? Hello? Somebody help! Is that a ghost? Don't come closer! Don't come closer! Did you stretch properly? Coach. When I went to identify the body, I prayed that it wasn't my dad. That's all I hoped for. But now that I know it's not my dad, I'm relieved, but I feel angry, too.
To be honest, I resent him so much. How could he not even call? How could he do this to Byeol and me? The day you collapsed on the track, your father came to school. My dad? Ms. Bang.
Please save my daughter. You said a marathoner must know when to give up. You said that was a skill, too. But my kid is so stupid that once she starts running, she doesn't know when to give up.
You saw earlier, right? She'll die like that one day. Ms. Bang. Please stop her.
If your father disappeared, he must have a good reason. He loves you and your sister more than anyone in the world. You know that. I know.
Sungguridangdang sungdangdang Sungguridangdang sungdangdang Chunhui, is that you? My sister said not to open the door for strange people. Strange? I'm the least strange person you are going to meet. I'm a celebrity 50 million people know. Kid, you really don't know me? Are you really a celebrity? Then why are you so dirty? It's a long story.
I'm not strange anymore, right? Kid, do you have anything to eat? Come with me. You must eat to survive. - Look here. / - Okay.
Not that. The lower shelf. Eat that. That one's older.
Chunhui tells me to eat the newer ones, but that's wrong. We must eat the older ones first. So this is the old one, and this is the new one. April 2014? Are you sure this is the new one? This is what you guys live on? Just close the fridge.
Mom, why did you suddenly make dinner plans? I can't stop by the shop now. It's the first dinner since the new president started. You can't let others get first dibs. You just follow my lead.
Fine. That must be the car you sent. Bye. - You're headed to Yuyu Hotel, right? / - Yes.
Okay. So how should I treat the nepotism president? I'll just act as I normally do, okay? I'll just sit quietly and have dinner. I'll smile if he asks anything. Okay.
Okay. But Mom, the driver's a little weird. He keeps looking at me. - Why are you following me? / - I'm not.
Right. Here. Here. Thanks.
Do you need something else? What's your problem? How are you coming together? Mom, what's wrong with this guy? He keeps following me. - Hello. / - Welcome, Mr. President.
I saw you from the picture. Please, have a seat. Suin, why aren't you sitting down? Okay. I heard that President Cho went away on vacation.
Since his son has matured so well, I guess he can rest now. I don't know about that. It will only be for a year. I'm just a fill-in while Father's resting.
Let me introduce you. She's my daughter, a trainee at Shine Star. She's very busy lately practicing for the audition. She's pretty.
She takes after you. You know about the audition to choose the top trainee at Shine Star, right? I wonder if it'll proceed as planned without President Cho. Nothing will change with my coming to the company. Everything will go as planned.
Your father was a judge in the past. I guess you'll be the judge this time? Oh. Can't we hire someone else? I don't see why not. I think it would be best for you to do it yourself.
I'm sure there are many people watching you. I see. If that's how you feel, Director. - Chunhui! / - Hey, Byeol.
You must be hungry. I'll make something quickly. Chunhui, I think you should become a singer. - What? / - I like it when you sing.
So if you sing for other people, they'll feel good too, like I do. Who told you that? The water pressure is just awful. It barely even drips. What's your deal? Why are you showering in my house? You forgot why I was buried in the ground? You want me, Jang Junhyeon to walk around looking like that? Why is President Cho obsessed with her? Who's President Cho? And why does he want me to become a singer? Does he know me? That's what I'd like to ask.
Just what is going on? What are you babbling about? Do you have any other ways to resolve the situation? Do you really think those guys won't find your dad? You need to pay them back before they do! So Chunhui will become a singer tomorrow? That's right. She'll become a hit, thanks to me. Do you have a blow dryer? Dry your hair outside. Hey! - Leave.
/ - Goodness! - Leave. / - Look, I hate your tiny rat hole, too. It's dirty! I'm going to a hotel. So hurry up and leave.
And don't come back. Bye. That witch. Goodness! It's for the song you gave me.
You wrote my debut song, remember? That man is lying on the bench. Don't worry about him and come to bed. Ta-da. There.
Chunhui, if you become a singer, will you take pictures wearing a sparkly dress? What? Mom wore a dress. Well, that's... You'll be on TV too, right? It would be so nice to see you on TV. Then Dad will be able to hear your song somewhere, too.
Then he may think of us and come back quickly, right? Shall we go to sleep? Good night. Do you have 40,000 dollars? If I had money to pay the penalty for breaching the contract, I'd quit right this instant. Goodness. I can never straighten this wretched back.
Ouch. W-What in the world? Give me a break! Seriously. Why must I suffer like this? Mister! Hush. You'll wake Chunhui.
- Good night, Mister. / - Good night to you, too. Mister, come eat. What...
You eat fried rice for breakfast? Then don't eat. This fried rice has seaweed. How strange. Of course it has.
It's made with rice balls. Why did you use rice balls to make fried rice? It's cold if you don't fry it. Is this that expired rice from yesterday? Are you trying to kill me? Eat that. Yusik.
I told you to take good care of them. Yes, of course, Boss. - They have a big day ahead of them. / - Yes, Boss.
Okay. Be careful. Careful. Our important guests.
Shall I take you to the president's office myself? - That's okay! / - That's okay! Among the three judges are myself and Yun Geon, the music critic. The new president can't do anything on his own. Are you sure that music critic is one of our people? Of course. He's my friend from high school.
Suin is a shoo-in, with her skills and everything. Trust me. When you were studying in New York was there a Cho Geunu in your class? What is he like? Not like that. I mean his personality, interests, his past relationships, something like that.
Hello. Why did you hang up like that? Well... You're here early. I'm practicing for the audition.
I'm sorry about yesterday. What? You were right. I am here thanks to nepotism. Why didn't you say that you aren't the driver? You never asked, so why should I...
Why did you let a strange girl into your car? I was going to Yuyu Hotel, too. And it's better to go with a pretty girl than to go alone. I really want to win this audition. If I do, buy me dinner.
You can do that, right? I don't want to. If you win, you should be the one buying dinner. Oh, that's works, too. So you'll buy.
- And the money from yesterday... / - Oh, right. Thanks. Why isn't he picking up? The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.
Wait right here. Okay. Hello? Is this the childcare center? I'm sorry, but could you bring Byeol home today? Thank you. Incorrect code.
You're that strange man at the sports center, right? Do you know me? Incorrect code. Oops. Hey. Not that.
That! Excuse me. Give me back my cell phone! Give it. Why are you taking my cell phone? You're so strange. You must really be a kleptomaniac.
That that back. What? It must lock automatically from outside. This building has good security. Do you always do as you feel like? Why did you have to take my cell phone? You're the one who closed the door.
That's true, but... Shall we go down a floor? It may be open there. Okay. Wait.
It'll be tiring if we both go, so you go check it out. What? Just kidding. It's a joke. He really is strange.
Hello, is anyone there? Hello? There are people locked in here! Try calling the security desk. How would I know their number? I came here for the first time today. Then why were you in front of the president's office? I came to see him. Why? I don't want to tell you.
Hello? Excuse me, but where is the president? I'm not sure. Excuse me. Hey, what are you doing here? President Cho asked me to help him with something. President Cho? Right.
Here. I've been carrying it around to give it to you. What is it? You just left last time. It's okay.
Keep it. Don't think anything of it. No. I can't owe you of all people.
Fine, if that's how you feel. You don't need to get that? What? Oh. Hello? What? You're locked in? Do you have anyone else to call? It looks like he's not coming. Just what do you do for a living? Why did you randomly press the president's room's keypad? You tried to open random lockers at the gym, too.
And I'm not your secretary. You did it before, too. Why should I hold your drink? And you took my cell phone! You're such a weirdo! Wow, you talk fast. Seriously.
Goodness. Are you causing trouble already? Who's that? Let's go. So you're the president's son... His son? So the president's son became the president.
Exactly. So my father gave you a mission, is that it? To train this lady. And you came to sign a contract? Correct. Shall we call the president directly? The number you have dialed is currently...
Why did he turn his phone off? This is the document he gave me. Here. What is this? It's not a contract. It says she should participate in the audition.
Will you participate in the Next Shine Star audition? Choi Chunhui? What? - Me? / - It may be a cable channel, but it's a national broadcast. There is prize money, too. The first round is tomorrow. Tomorrow? How could she get ready in a day...
That's absurd! You two decide. We should try as much as we can. We can't give up. Do you have a plan? You want me to take the stage tomorrow? You think I can do it? I don't know what I'm saying either.
I'm going crazy. I've never dreamed of becoming a singer. My priority is to find a job. I need to feed Byeol.
I need to pay off Dad's debt. I must've lost my mind. Contract? I'm sorry about getting you buried. Just go your way now.
I'll take care of myself. Hey, wait... My window won't roll down all the way. Here she is, Boss.
How did it go? Did you sign the contract? What, you didn't? Sorry. I'll find a job and pay you back. Are you kidding me? Are you testing me? Where did that guy go? He left. What? But he really has nothing to do with me.
I swear... What's that in your hand? 100,000 Dollars? Boss, first place wins 100,000 dollars. From the second round, it'll be broadcast on cable. Everyone who passes the first round gets paid for being on TV.
They get paid. - Get in now. / - Why? Just get in. The first round is tomorrow.
How would it look to add a new contestant? The advertisements already state that it's an audition for trainees. I'm for adding new contestants. What's the objective of the Shine Star audition? It's to introduce a good talent under our company name. If President Cho Huimun recommended her there must be a good reason.
Yes. I'd like to meet her as soon as possible. May I ask what you're thinking? You said not to worry since the judges are you and our music critic. That's correct.
Suin is going to win anyway. The more people there are surrounding her, the better. That's true. - Hello, Boss.
/ - Hey. Pick one. You have to go on the audition. You need to wear something like this on the audition.
There is no need to feel bad. This is our gift. You heard him, right? Pick anything. Our boss prepared the latest fashion.
Don't feel bad, okay? How's this? This is nice. - What do you think, Boss? / - No, not that. Like this. How's this? - What? / - No.
Okay. The card is invalid. Is that President Cho? What should I do? I have something to say, too. What do you want me to do without a contract? Hello? Are you preparing for the audition? Well...
We should prepare for the audition, right? - What? / - We thought you were giving us a contract, but they said to prepare for the audition. I never offered you a contract. - Pardon? / - You want it for free? You thought it was that easy to train someone? W-Wait. You don't have any other ideas, do you? What? Of course not.
I'll be watching closely. Don't forget that. Yes, Sir. The audition preparations are going well.
So don't worry, Sir. Don't worry about anything. Okay. I trust you.
Seriously. It's not like I can run away. Midas didn't say anything? You said that you want to become a singer! Yes. But do I have to lower my nasal bridge? Then I'd have to shave the bone.
W-Why? Jang Donggun's face isn't the trend anymore. We need to follow the current trends. Let's not stop at the nose. Let's cut open the eyes and pull up the ends of your mouth.
You know the joker surgery, right? It's sexy. I made an appointment at a hospital I know well. Just deposit the payment into this account, okay? Gosh. - Seol Taesong? / - Yes? Let's take a look.
Say ah. Open wide. Okay, Nurse Kim! Prepare for tooth extraction. Two top teeth and two bottom teeth.
That was close. - Hello? / - Hey, where are you? - Who's this? / - It's me, Hyoyeol. Shin Hyoyeol. I heard you're my new manager.
What? I am? I'm at the villa in Cheongpyeong. Come get me. You know how far that is? Hello? Goodness. Hey! How could you leave a kid all alone? - What the...
/ - What? What? It's not like I said anything wrong? So did you decide to go on the audition? You're going to wear that? I didn't bring it because I wanted to. - Gosh! Seriously. / - Goodness. What's the point of the audition? What? What will you do, if you don't? Can you tell that thug tomorrow that you won't do it? Not me, you.
You. - What's in it for you? / - I'm... Stop asking and start. Okay, so...
You have a day to do what others did for 10 years. Forget breathing and projection. First, pick the song. Koongddari shabara bbabbabba Bbabbabba When you're down and frustrated I'm frustrated.
The image of you Approached me slowly Like Like a violet light Ganadaramabasa ahjachakatapaha May the heaven watch over us Fail! I cross hill after hill But there is still one left I guess trot is all you can do. I cross hill after hill - Stop! You're off beat! / - I'm just nervous. Pretend there's a string tied to your head. So you lift this note.
And sing like that. - Hill after hill / - Stop! Enunciate! - Say "Ah". / - Ah. Practice like that.
Gosh, I'm tired. I'm not sleeping. I cross hill after hill Why aren't you getting on? - Go up first. / - Why? I need to get something from the car.
Okay, get out. Hey! - Good luck! / - Thank you. Bye. Choi Chunhui! You need to pass in order to live! To live.
Go! - Good luck! / - Okay. Bye. Looking at your outfit, I guess today is the audition. Is that a compliment? Of course.
It looks good on you. Thank you. I guess today really is the audition. Sorry.
I didn't think I'd see you here. What are you doing here? - I came to audition. / - Why? You have an album coming out. Why would you audition? I'm still a trainee.
You're going to participate? We are ruined. Aren't you getting out? The theatre is off-limits other than to participants and staff members. Why am I not a staff member? See you later. This is the person President Cho recommended? Yes, she is.
- Hello. / - Hello. The trainees are curious to see who you are. Hey.
What? - Me? / - Yes, you. Don't you see the empty water container? Wow. Look at her. You're strong.
Hey. Water. - Pardon? / - Why? You have a problem with my asking for water? I'll get it for you. - Here you go.
/ - Look at what she's wearing. What era is that from? Are you singing a trot song or something? How did it go? I hope you receive a high praise. Thank you. Don't mind her.
She's the oldest here, that's why. Everyone must be nervous about the audition. I thought so, too. There's a lot of concern about Geunu? Do you agree with them? I'd never...
Don't worry too much. I know my son the best. When you said I have changed You weren't entirely wrong How I have changed surprises me, too You are so nice Oh, I don't know If my shadow forms Underneath the lonely moonlight Hello. Hello, I'm contestant No.
46, Park Suin. Your mother is... Oh, she is the legendary singer Yang Juhui, right? Yes. That fact alone gives me high hopes for you.
Why don't you begin? I found a person Someone I shouldn't love I can't, I can't She's pretty good. She's boring, though. Stand straight! Auditions are battles against the judges. Never break eye contact.
Charisma. - Choi Chunhui? / - Yes? Give me your cell phone and follow me. Okay. Is it the final contestant already? There she is.
Hello, I'm contestant No. 47, Choi Chunhui. Nice to meet you. - Mr.
President. / - You chose a trot song? Is there a reason you chose this song? Well, I... I grew up hearing my mom sing in the market while running her booth. This is her remake of an old song.
Your mother was a singer? Yes. She left behind one album. I see. What a moving story.
Yes. Have you ever been a trainee elsewhere or uploaded a video on YouTube or had any stage experience? No. None at all? None at all. How can someone like that even think of coming here? Let's hear you sing.
I cross hill after hill What's wrong with her? Oh my goodness. I cross hill after hill, but it never ends That's how the world is That's how life is Let's keep watching. It's interesting. If I am together with my love I can live happily For a thousand, ten thousand years That's how the world is That's how life is It's spicier than chili peppers I cross hill after hill But there is still one left She should've sung like this from the start! But it never ends That's how the world is That's how life is It's spicier than chili peppers If I am together with my love I can live happily For a thousand, ten thousand years That's how the world is That's how life is It's spicier than chili peppers Let's bring her.
We'll pay 10 times the contract fee. - I'll return the principal. / - What? She has too many flaws. And she is not even sexy.
How dare you... I hate eating alone. Mr. President.
Fancy running into you here. Our eyes met just earlier. Why do you think Jang Junhyeon hit rock bottom? You did it to him! You're forever out from this industry..
