"Don't panic." "Relax, okay?" "Drink up." "88' MBS Music Awards." "The grand award goes to..." "The grand award goes to..." "The grand award" "CHOI Gon, with 'The Rain and You'!" "Congratulations!" "Congratulations." "And we'll have CHOI Gon on stage for the presentation of the award." "Clear the path for Gon!" "Gon." "Make the speech long." "2006" "Hey, tell him not to get boozed-up before he goes on stage." "He can't sing without getting drunk." "CHOI Gon was my darling in high school." "Call me darling too." "CHOI Gon is so dreamy..." "Finished so soon?" "Hey, CHOI Gon." "Sing one more song for my baby." "She's a big fan of yours." "Here." "Playing hard-to-get, huh?" "Okay, okay." "Here's another one." "Come on, man." "Give it to your wife, asshole." "What did you call me?" "This guy is crazy!" "Who's in charge here?" "Shit, messing things up again." "CHOI Gon, PARK Gon, who does this guy think he is?" " Hey Gon, apologize," " I give you a chance to sing," " and let's go." " You should show some respect to the audience." "Talk to me, man!" "You've taken an advance pay, you could at least stay out of trouble," "Hey, be cool." "It's not the first time, you know." "Let's go." "Take that thing off." "Huh?" "Get that thing out of my sight!" "Hey, take it easy!" "Come on!" "Let's go, Min-soo." "I'll see you again." "Big star?" "He thinks he's Elvis or something..." "Stupid bastard still thinks he's a hot shot." "Name." "CHOI Gon." "I'm his manager." "CHOI..." "Gon..." "Social Security number." "660322-1040120" "Did you beat this guy up?" "Yeah, let's say I beat him up." "I would feel much better that way." "You, stay outside!" "You two should sort this out." "Almost done." "Hey, hit me twice and let's settle this." "You shouldn't hang around with this guy." "He's a loser." "Okay, okay." "So we're settled?" "CHOI Gon?" "You here?" "Hey..." "CHOI Gon!" "You know where the action really is, huh?" "He's at it again?" "Nah, it ain't drugs." "Let's have him do a urinal test." "I said it's not drugs." "A star well past his prime doesn't make a good article, if it's not about drugs." "Hey, come on." "Hey, he's clean now." "Let's have a chat outside..." "Hey!" "You're in deep shit, mister!" "Hey, KIM." "KIM!" " How's my little Mi-jung?" " Daddy!" "Yeah, it's daddy." "Wow, great drawing." "Mommy, Mi-jung." "Oh, it's so pretty." "Hey," "Gon is in trouble." "I don't have money." "Hey, I wouldn't come to my own wife if it wasn't this bad." "KIM Soon-young, you were the chairman of CHOI Gon's fan club!" "If Gon goes to jail, who's going to be responsible?" "Who's blaming who here?" "Mi-jung, daddy will come back later, okay?" "Draw daddy over here too." "Jang-hoon!" "Phone call." "I'm busy." "Hello?" "Yeah, I'm on my way." "Don't blame me for the fix, it ain't my fault!" "I'll get there." "I'm hanging up now." "Hey, Baek-chun, Baek-chun!" "Long time no see." " Hi, Min-soo." " Yeah." "What's going on?" "I heard you're doing three programs." "I wish Gon was half as good as you." "I heard director KIM was trying to have Gon deejay." "Why would a singer deejay?" "Have you ever seen Elvis deejay?" "Hey, you're a different case." "You're a complete entertainer." " Speaking of being successful..." " I haven't got money." "Hey Baek-chun, Baek-chun!" "Director KIM." "Director KIM." "Hey!" "Let go!" "Hey, come on." "Stop begging, you!" "Hey, hey." "You should've listened to me." "What's wrong with the regional radio broadcast?" "Okay, I'll take him there if you help me clear up the current mess." "Last time, I promise." "I started off there, and Gon's not in a position to choose." "If all the smaller radio stations merge with the bigger places, there will be no regional characteristics left." "What's that got to do with you?" "Hey, director KIM helped you out when he was just a producer, can't you do the same for him?" "Who helped who out?" "Does he still think I won the music award because of him?" "He knew I would be turning down other awards for his stupid award!" "Who benefited more from that?" "Yeah well, it ain't you so let's call it quits." "Where you going?" "Fuck it!" "What's all this noise, huh?" "Hey." "Where you going?" "I'm calling director KIM to say no." "Is he that desperate?" "Of all the crazy things I've done..." "How can I deejay in a place like that?" "So director KIM wants to get credit for sending me to his hometown." "KIM and you..." "you guys are so shallow." "How would the Youngwol station guys work with me around?" "Can't believe my manager makes me do this shit." "Hey, where you going?" "Where you going, man?" "Where's your coffee?" "Cigarette." "Light." "Can I help you guys?" "I don't care if CHOI Gon's grandpa is coming over." "Do you think a lousy two-hour program can revive the station?" "Three months till the merger, three months!" "We've been waiting to return to the big city, and what on earth is this?" "That CHOI Gon, he's got nothing to do?" "He comes here because you tell him to?" "He says he's a top star from Seoul." "The last time we used this place was 12 years ago, right?" "Yeah, just about." "Can you make this old thing work?" "It should work." "Check out the apartments over there." "Didn't know Youngwol was so well developed." "It's not a rural town anymore, right?" "Remember the last time we came here?" "No." "This place hasn't changed a bit." "Hey, look at that." "Come on over here." "July 20, CHOI Gon." "Remember?" "1989." "Let me see..." "That's the year after you won the grand award." "We were heading to Samchuk for the concert," "And we dropped by here to grab a bite, and this little town became a beehive." "All those people out, just to see your face." "Hey, I was practically pushing people out of your way, and lost my watch, remember?" "It was an Omega." "Then the owner of this place was a big fan of yours, we drank all night, and didn't go to that concert in Samchuk at all." "Because we were so drunk..." "Hey, let's get some soju." "Good boy." "The owner of this place must've changed." "My father's been the owner all along." "Man, the guitar shouldn't go in like that." "Man, the guitar shouldn't go in like that." "It was aright." "Hey, 4 bottles of soju, and one soup." "When this guy got the wrong tune, everyone else went wrong, so it's fine." "We just have to go with the right action." "Sir!" "Hey, it's CHOI Gon." " You sure?" " Yeah." "What are you guys doing?" "Sir, we're East River." "East what?" "East River, named after the river in our town." "We're Young-wol's only rock band." "Sir, in a country where rock music is a curse, you're the almighty rocker that can only be matched by..." "Elvis Presley." "We worship you!" "Hey, these guys know a thing or two." "Your struggle against the world, alcohol addiction, violence, marijuana... an epitome of the term 'charisma'." "Sir, we're hoping we can follow your footsteps," "Let's go." "but Young-wol is a tiny place, and we can't really make trouble here..." "You should've stopped at the Elvis part." "Move out of the way!" "My shoes..." "Hey, do you guys have a manager?" "What are you doing here?" "Go to your room." "Hey a motel like this has weak security." "I've got to protect you." "Sleep tight." "My back won't take a lousy mattress like this..." "Hey, long time... since we last slept in the same room." "Turn the lights off." "Lazy bastard can't turn off the lights himself." "You here?" "Eat up." "Hey, JANG." "Shouldn't you be on your way back?" "I'm taking the plates when you're finished." "What are you, a butler?" "Don't worry." "Take your time." "Idiot." "Excuse me." "Can I have your autograph?" "On my back?" "Hey, hey!" "We'll be glad to drop by gain next time." "Take care, love you guys." "Now that's a neat broadcast." "Those guys can drop by and chat only in a big city like Wonjoo." "Love you guys~" "Idiots." "Can't even call them singers anyway." "Being a producer sucks here in Wonjoo." " Hey KANG!" "You're on the air!" " What?" " Whoa, a blooper." " Huh?" "Oh shit..." "Sounds like the producer." "KANG Suk-young!" "The fan club's threatening to kill you on the internet." "You should know better about teens these days." "And I'm trying to save your ass here." "I understand." "3 months, KANG." "The place will merge anyway." "I'll let Young-wol know you're coming." "Okay, okay." "I'll go." "A deejay from Seoul..." "And a producer from Wonjoo." "I've got high expectations for the new broadcast." "Right, PARK?" "Yes sir." "Let's do it!" "You send along a deejay and a producer, and expect the broadcast to just happen?" "For god's sake, this is a relay station!" "We've got one engineer that does the relaying work." "Either you provide us with more people, or at least some equipment." "You have to do something about this!" "Yeah, yeah, forget about it, dammit!" "Oh shit!" "What?" "Where is this guy?" "Does it work?" "Does it work?" "He says no." "And now?" "No." "You sure you're the engineer?" "How long have you been working here?" "Ten years." "You look like twenty to me." "And you, producer KANG?" "Three years." " That's a real rookie." " Rookie it is." "And what about..." "I've worked five years as a delivery man." "You know, the hard part about this job..." " Walk left, left!" " Yeah." "No manners whatsoever, dammit." "Those were the good old days." "Any bigger selection at the station in Wonjoo, producer KANG?" "Couldn't be any bigger than this." "Wow, LEE Sun-hee's first album." "Where's Gon's album?" "Teach me how to operate." "'Afternoon's Request'?" "How does that sound?" "Sounds good." "Doesn't it sound a little backward?" "Yeah." "How about 'Afternoon's Lounge' or 'Afternoon Platform'?" "Producer?" "That's even more backward." "You need 'CHOI Gon' in there as well." "'CHOI Gon's Afternoon's Request'" "How does that sound?" "It makes no difference..." "but it is better with my name on." "Yeah?" "Sounds weird with two apostrophes." "'Gon's Dad's Friend's Son' That's four apostrophes." "That's not the same case." "Producer KANG decides the title!" "Hey, what are you mad about?" "Take it easy." "Let's go." "Very productive meeting." "I'll go out to do the marketing, so you two finish up." "Hello, you're CHOI Gon's manager, right?" "What are you doing here?" "It's CHOI Gon..." "Wow, 'CHOI Gon's Afternoon's Request'." "Is he DJ'ing here at Youngwol?" "Man, that's terrific!" "What, you're putting up posters?" "We'll help you!" "Does it look right?" " Is it okay?" " Yeah, yeah." "Hey, tie it up, tie it up." "Tie it up!" "You idiot!" "Put it up over here." "Hurry up!" "You guys came here to chat?" "Come on!" "All right." "Bring some more posters." "Looks swell." "Go home and don't come back!" "Damn kids." "Don't you people listen to the radio in a coffee shop?" "Who listens to the radio these days?" "Hey, radio is the thing in a coffee shop." "If you have the TV on, people won't leave." "You won't get many customers that way." "We mostly deliver." "I'm doing this because of director KIM, but will be leaving in a month or two." "Don't tell the guys about this." "You're recording a song?" "Sorry." "When you're done, give me a call, will ya?" "Do you know that CHOI Gon's DJ'ing at the Youngwol radio station?" "Who's CHOI Gon?" "'But now~ I'm all fine~' You don't know?" "Hey, do you know CHOI Gon?" "No." "I'm going out on delivery." "Hey, how could you not know, the 88' MBS music award winner, CHOI Gon?" "You're not much interested in music and culture, huh?" "What, the producer?" "She's very inexperienced." "I'm on my own, pal." "Hey, I was saying..." "What, sleeping already?" "He was in the papers for drunk driving." "I don't read the newspapers." "And a couple of bar fights here and there." "Don't know." "He was on TV for doing drugs." "Oh, I remember!" "That was CHOI Gon?" "Hey, delivery time." "Okay." "Tomorrow's the big day." "Sleep tight." "Hey, do I have to do this?" "Close your eyes when you're sleeping." "Here's the cue sheet." "Check the opening." "Cue sheet!" "1 minute!" "Move over." "Hey, Gon." "Concentrate, okay?" "No, no." "You could make a mistake if you try too hard." "Relax." "Okay?" "Everyone relax." "The opening is the most important." "We'll have to grab the attention of the listeners with that." "Okay?" "Now let's go!" "I said move over." "Cue!" "That's the wrong way you're putting in, man!" "There isn't a better word that makes your heart flutter than 'first'." "First tears, first snow, first meet, first date, first kiss." "On a cold day during the winter, when snow has covered the world in white..." "Hello, people of Youngwol, I'm CHOI Gon." "MBS Music Award winner back in 88'." "I somehow ended up here, DJ'ing and all." "Now that I'm running the show... send postcards, and song requests." "I'll try to play whatever I can." "The first song... is 'Radio on Full Volume', by group Shinawi." "Excellent!" "You're doing great." "Gon, I'll head to town, to check out the response, okay?" "Keep it up!" "Sir." "Please turn that thing off." "Let's listen to something else." "Shut up." "Bastard!" "Producer KANG, can you put my call on the air?" "Why?" "Some star friends that" "I got somehow heard about me DJ'ing." "They want to say hi." "What line is it?" "That'll be line two." "Two." "Hiya." "What are you doing, not listening to the radio?" "It sounds so nice." "Hey Jang-hoon, make the compliments short." "Don't hang up." "Yeah, we'll talk on the air now." "Some of my fellow stars have called to say hi." "Let's hear them." "Hello?" "Hey, do you know Min-soo loaned thirty grand from me?" "KIM Jang-hoon, what are you talking about?" "He promised to pay back in two weeks, but it's four months now, and I can't reach him." " Wow, I love KIM Jang-hoon." " Uh, KIM Jang-hoon?" "We're on the air now." "Live, at Youngwol." "Bullshit, man." "And it wasn't just me." "Do you have to go around loaning like that from your peers?" "What are you, a swindler?" "What did you say?" "A swindler?" "KIM Jang-hoon, We're on the air right now." "Come on, man, don't be like that." "Be wise when you're getting old." "What did you just say?" "What did you just say!" "I backed you up so that you could become a decent singer, and you tell me what?" "Who backed who up, man?" "Don't bullshit me." "Hey where the fuck are you right now?" "Where the fuck, where the fuck!" "I'm at my crib, asshole!" "KIM Jang-hoon, you're mocking me because you know we're on the air, right?" "What the fuck are you saying?" "Fuck you!" "Hello, hello?" "You asshole!" "You asshole, you asshole!" "I haven't heard anything like this!" "I told you it was fun." "But who's Min-soo?" "Right." "Who's Min-soo?" "Huh?" "Turn off that stupid KIM Jang-hoon music." "Turn it off!" "Producer KANG!" "What do you think you're doing, huh?" "Everybody in my room, dammit!" "Gon, sometimes when you're badly off..." "What?" "What if you're badly off?" "Why do you have to beg around?" "What have you done?" "So you got that money to set up Soon-young's sushi joint?" "Yeah, I did just that!" "What are you, mad?" "You've gone too far, man!" "Why did you have to do that?" "Do you realize they're lending you money because of me?" "That's my reputation you're ruining!" "Reputation?" "I ain't got any of that left because of you!" "Look at how badly off I am!" "Why do you think I borrowed from Jang-hoon?" "To bail you out of jail, asshole!" "First broadcast, and the deejay swears on the air." "Is this how you work at Wonjoo?" "Oh right, you're here because you've messed up!" "A crazy producer, and a swearing deejay." "That's just swell." "Why on earth are they making me do this?" "Get out, all of you!" "What have you been doing?" "Midday Lounge, bullshit!" "It's Midday Hell!" "Where's all the responsibility, huh?" "I see you once, twice, and still want to see you again~" "That beautiful face of yours, I want to see it again~" "Let's just drown by the river and die." "I can't live like this anymore." "Let's die together." "Die alone if you want to." "They'll think we're gay if we do it together." "Do something, man!" "Keep playing, keep playing." "Turn the lights off." "Sir, you were great yesterday." "One heck of a broadcast, sir." "Talking trash with KIM Jang-hoon, that was so awesome, really!" "Thirty grand going down the drain, that brute force!" " I admire you, sir." " Number one, number one!" "That... hunger from the deepest part of your soul, the agony of a rocker, we truly felt that." "Sir, we're hungry too." "Sir, treat us to some lunch, we're hungry!" "Sir, CHOI Gon!" "Buy us a couple of burgers, please!" " CHOI Gon!" "CHOI Gon!" " Who do you guys think you are?" "What do you think you're doing?" "Are you going to keep messing it up?" "What?" "You don't want to deejay?" "Are you being forced to do this?" "I'm responsible for this program." "If you can't follow my orders," "Then what?" "Am I getting cut?" "Fine." "Hey Gon, what's going on?" "I just got kicked out." "Hey, no time left." "The signal is out!" "Gon, Gon!" "Hurry up!" "We need someone in there." "Hey Gon!" "What do we do?" "We need someone to talk!" "Make her do it." "Producer KANG..." "Huh?" " What now?" " You do it." "Come on!" "Just do it." "Headphones on, headphones on." "Turn on the mike, the mike." "Which one?" "That one." " Which one?" " I'll do it." "NOW." "Ummm." "Today I feel like... heading to the east sea... taking a shower on the sounds of the waves..." "Take a shower?" "It's raining." "My heart carried on to... the fluttering wings of a sea gull..." "Today I feel like... like my wish can be heard by you." "Today, is that kind of day." "Hello, 'CHOI Gon's Midday Lounge'," "I'm temporary deejay, PARK Min-soo." "Hey, it's the manager guy!" "PARK Min-soo!" "PARK Min-soo!" "Today's first song," "SHIN Joong-hyun's 'Beauty'." "Gon, Gon, let's go back in." "Come on, let's go." "Save my face for once." "The producer's just a kid." "What do you want me to do?" "Drop down on my knees?" "Here." "What're you doing?" "Here, I'm on my knees now." "Get back up, man." "What're you doing?" "Let's go in, come on." "Okay, okay." "You're done eating already?" "When is this coffee girl coming?" "Hey girl." "See you later on at your shop." "Can you play this song again for me?" "No?" "That's not allowed, right?" "We give out coffee refills." "I want to see mom when I hear this song." "She used to love singing this song." "Get out!" "I'm supposed to sit by the customer until he's finished with the coffee." "Producer KANG, we're almost done." "You've all gone way out of the line." "You want to say something?" "On the air?" "What should I say?" "Anything." "All right!" "We have a guest in our studio today." "Hello." " Do I go on?" " Go ahead." "Ummm." "I'm KIM, from the Chungrok coffee shop in front of the bus terminal." " First of all..." " It's KIM!" " I would like to thank" " What's she doing there?" "all the people who drop by our shop," "Mr. KIM from the Laundromat, Mr. PARK from the hardware store," "It's about time you settle the credits." "47 dollars for Mr. KIM... 104 dollars for Mr. PARK." "I'll take off 4 bucks if you pay back right now." "That'll be 100 dollars then." "It gets deducted from my pay if you don't settle the credits." "Can't believe you guys buy coffee on credit." " Can I say something else?" " Yeah, go ahead." "Uh, mom." "I'm Sun-OK, mom." "How are you?" "Can you hear me?" "It's raining, ma." "Do you remember?" "It rained too, when I ran away from home." "Ma, did you know?" "I didn't run away because I hated you." "Really." "I thought that was the reason when I left, but I realized that I was mad with everyone," "but not you." "I was mad at myself for that." "I was so mad... that I wasted my life." "I think I've gone crazy." "You know, when it rains, I try to make that pie that you used to make me." "Stupid girl." "But whatever means I try, it doesn't taste the same." "At all." "Mom, I miss you." "I miss you so much." "It's raining, so I thought of giving you a call." "Is it raining in Seoul too?" "Don't get mad." "Can't do that, I'm busy." "Don't worry about me, take care of Mi-jung." "While we're at it, make her a pie, okay?" "Yeah, Gon says hi." "All right." "Cigarette." "I'll get a pack when it stops raining." "Shit, there's spit all over." "Disgusting." "Nice and cozy, huh?" "Hey, it's the manager." " Hiya." " Gon's here too." "Let's sit over here." "Why are there so many people today?" "Oh my god." "Gon, CHOI Gon!" "I've become a star!" "Really?" "Can I talk on the radio too?" "I'm a runaway too." "Oh yeah?" "Hey I'm treating you to tea, since I got the balance settled." "Sounds good to me." "Tea for you too?" "I'll have coffee." "Come on, man." "Have some tea." "Yeah, tea's fine." "Two cups of tea over here!" "Excuse me, CHOI Gon?" "Um." "I'm the owner of the Laundromat." "Hi, I'm from the hardware store." "I didn't plan to drink coffee on credit, it's just that I didn't have change whenever I came to drink." "Hey, how much is coffee gonna be?" "Don't ever do that again." "I promise." "I used to love singing" "'The Rain and You' when I was young." "Always sang the song at the karaoke." "I'm a fan of yours too." "'but now, I'm all fine~'" "I got my wife to marry me with that." "Can I have your autograph?" "Let's have it." "Can't do with a pen, bring a marker." "Okay." "Gon, I know you're tired and all, but..." "Your name?" "KIM Dae-ho." " Mr. KIM Dae-ho." " Yeah." "Thank you." "What's your wife's name?" "CHOI Jung-sun." "CHOI Jung-sun." "How long have you been married?" "Ten years." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Gon, you'll drop by again, right?" "You too." "All right." "What?" "I see you once~" "I see you twice, and still want to see you again~" "Whoever my lover is, I want to see her again~" "Can't you even catch that?" "Oh man!" "A man with a hideous face, is seen walking the streets of Youngwol at night, looking for the 'beauty'." "Watch out for the man." "If you find him, report immediately to the nearest police station." "He's seen singing like this." "A complete wacko." "There's a call for you after the song's over." "Who is it?" "Not KIM Jang-hoon, I hope?" "A fan of yours." "You'll get countless calls from now on." "Hello?" "Hello sir!" "It's East River." "All right!" "Hey guys." "Sir, I saw him." "I saw the crazy guy yesterday." "He was a real wacko." "I told you to report to the nearest police station, not the nearest radio station." "Sir, can you let us sing a song?" "Just one song." "Please!" "You guys can sing by yourselves." "Sir, hold on." "Sir, we've made a fan club site on the web, people post comments, and we're also recording your show, so we've got a rerun section where you can hear the show again." "Please come in and check!" " We're managing the website." " Please come visit." "They've got Gon's face on top of a robot." "Wow, there's that rerun section." "That's a lot of comments." "Yeah. 'I found a great program.'" "Hey, one at a time." "Let me take a look too." "Hello?" "Hello, I'm GO Suk-dong living in Dukpo." "I've been listening your show from the very first time." "Oh, you must be a fan of the show." "No, I'm unemployed." "I got nothing to do in the afternoon." "Can you get me a place to work?" "What kind of qualifications do you have?" "Uh..." "Driver's license..." "Oh!" "I've got a taekwondo certificate too." "Look for a driver's position for the taekwondo training center shuttle." "Here's another listener." "Hello?" "Hi!" "I listen to you all the time." "Thank you." "Are you unemployed by any chance?" "Unemployed?" "No." "I'm a nurse." "Actually, I will become unemployed at the current rate, since there are no patients these days." "No patients in a hospital?" "There was someone who got bit by a snake at the mountains." "But none this week." "Release some snakes in town, then." "Sir." "Sir, sir!" "Yeah, what is it?" "What's keeping you entertained?" "A rerun of CHOI Gon's broadcast, from Youngwol." "Hey, we've got our own broadcast to worry about," "Free-falling ratings and endorsement deals annulled." "You can't be listening to that." "Hey you guys should listen to this stuff, and make a better program!" "Get out." "I have to finish listening to this thing." "Idiots." "Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Nirvana..." "These great bands don't just come out of nowhere." "For contemporary music to develop, a progressive band culture is most imperative." "But kids don't like playing on bands these days." "Why?" "Because it's not profitable." "Those that have singing talent come out regularly on TV to sing pop songs." "That's the problem right now." "Profound, huh?" "Me?" "I was doing fine on a band, but then I met the wrong manager." "To tell you the truth, you've all heard on the first show..." "This manager loans money on my credit, ruining my reputation, and while we're at it, when I won the award back in 88', radio producers were not something anyone could become." "These days, there seems to be a lot on a free ride, knowing nothing about music, and starring in bloopers, if you know what I mean." "Those producers like phone calls too." "Here's the next call." "Hello?" "Sir, we're a band." "It's East River!" "You guys called again?" "What is it today?" "Don't hang up on us." "We just want to sing one song on the air." "Just one." "Please!" "Please!" "Just one song!" "Okay." "One song." "You call again tomorrow, and I promise I'll go get ya." "All right!" "You guys ready?" "Yeah!" "You ready!" "Yeah!" "This is East River!" "One, two, three, four!" "You have a crush on me~" "Shining under the splendid lights, you have a crush on me~" "You can't do that, granny." "You see?" "You can't up on the last round of betting." "See?" "You heard that!" "Gimme that phone!" "Hello?" "What you mean I can't up?" "We've got a pro player here." "I'll hook him up." "Here's..." "doctor PARK Min-soo." "This guy likes playing the game more than he likes eating." "Next time, gimme a cue." "Hello, granny?" "You remember the 88' Olympics?" "Yes." "There's no upping on the last round since then." "Is that true?" " Rules differ according to the region." " So you can't up, and the pot remains the same." "Go for the jackpot on the next round." "What are ya saying?" "Enough!" "You see?" "Stop insisting." "I told you not to let her join the game." "I didn't call her." "Damn it, I'm not playing anymore!" "Hello son." "It's your father." "This broadcast doesn't reach Seoul, pops." "I'll speak louder then." "HEY, DO YOU HEAR ME?" "YOU HAVEN'T COME HOME FOR THREE YEARS NOW." "IT'S OKAY," "EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T SUCCEEDED IN SEOUL." "Pops!" "He must've heard that for sure." "Oh, stand by me~" "The next person introduces himself as the fool of Youngwol." "He's been secretly in love with a girl for two years." "And he still can't even look at her." "Can someone pass on his feelings to this girl," "Who's more beautiful" " than any flower in my shop?" " How much is this?" " 10 bucks." " That's the heartbreaking story of KIM Dong-yun, the florist at Myungdong flower shop at Youngwol." "People, let's help this poor man and help him send this girl a couple of roses." "Anyone passing by the bank in downtown, please take a rose from the flower shop," " and give it" " You lucky girl, you!" "to a teller named SHIN Hye-young." "This poor man, might commit suicide if we don't help." "Let's see you smile, KIM Dong-yun!" "Huh?" "No way." "Hey it's the truth." "PARK Won-woong, KIM Ki-duk..." "These guys were all producers turned into deejays." "I tell you, I was the KIM Ki-duk of Youngwol." "Hey PARK, say something." "You DJ'ed too?" "Hey, producer KANG, you've heard about the legend at Wonjoo, right?" "Legend?" "My pal CHOI Gon reborn as a deejay in Youngwol is what's called a legend." "Right, Gon?" "Reborn?" "You call becoming a lame radio deejay at a regional station a rebirth?" "You're drunk." "Relax." "Hey, when I was in elementary school," "I saw you win that grand award." "You were awesome then." "What happened to you?" "Hey, KANG!" "If you had," "If you had retired then, you would've become a legend." "Right?" "Hey, that's enough." "Cut it out." "Hold on." "Let me talk." "It really sucks, huh?" "Of all the places, you had to come to Youngwol," "Hey, that's enough." "You've gone too far." "Hey, you manager." "What're you doing here?" "What is there to manage in this lousy place?" "You don't have a family?" "Shit, this really sucks." "Why do I have to think about ratings anyway?" "I keep up with what I'm doing right now, and I'll become like you, you, and you." "Shit." "Man, we had something good going on." "What are you saying?" "Let's go for another round." "Hey, let's just go home." "Hey, award winner!" "Manager!" "Let's go drink some more." "Come on, get in the car." "I'll take him back home." "Take care of the producer." "Come on, get in." "It ain't over yet." "Hey, is the work getting on ya?" "This girl is mighty heavy." "Do you think we should just split up?" "Hey man." "I'll work harder for ya." "Drinking like that, and sleeping in a motel..." "We're late." "Let's go." "And then acting like nothing has happened." "Damn." "CHOI Gon, sir." "Sir, sir!" "Sir!" "What are you guys?" "Sir, we're..." "George Harrison," "Ringo Star," "Paul McCartney, and John Lennon." "We're the Beatles." "Ringo Star?" " Yeah, I'm Ringo Star." " John Lennon?" "Yeah, that's me." "You guys look bad." "You're a shame." "Don't follow us!" "Sir, there's something we've got to tell you." "Sir, sir!" "Hear us out!" "Sir!" "Sir, sir!" "Sir!" "Sir, hold on." "We really have to tell you about this!" "Hey, we're running out of time." "What is it?" "Sir, you've been around Youngwol for almost a hundred days." "That's it, one hundred." "So we were kinda thinking what we could do for you," "Yeah, we were thinking." "We decided to hold a concert for you." "That'll be like a tribute." "We need your approval." "And if you don't," "If he doesn't?" "Uh... then what do we do?" "An open broadcast?" "How can we do an open broadcast with a band like that?" "Are you still drunk?" "Sir, it's great to have some band like that in a town this size." "100th special broadcast with Youngwol's rock band, East River." "Isn't that what regional broadcast is all about?" "Right, Gon?" "Hmm." "Makes sense." "The producer's from Wonjoo, you know." "We've never done an open broadcast before." "What if there are problems?" "Can we really do an open broadcast?" "We've got no equipment for that." "You see, we've got no equipment." "I'll talk with Wonjoo for that." "Okay, it's settled then." "PARK, make up a list of equipment that you need, and pass it on to producer KANG." "The producer will talk to Wonjoo..." "No she'll go there, and make up a deal." "Gon... will do what he does." "What are you, director of this place?" "You won't need me for this, huh?" "Why are you getting so sensitive?" "Am I being sensitive?" "Yeah, a little." "Sir, what I really meant was..." "Sir!" "Great meeting today." "You two..." "PARK, this is your first open broadcast?" "You can do well, right?" "Relax." "Relax, okay?" "You relax, man." "Okay?" "Okay." "Your face looks sick, man." "Hey, look who's talking!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey, we haven't got much time left." "Don't panic." "Nervous?" "Not at all." "Not at all?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Are you sure?" "Hold on." "Keep it down, guys." "Director, where are you?" "Just follow the road." "I'll be on my way down to see you." "Script." "There's no script." "Why not?" "You never read it anyway." "You're on your own." "You're really taking it easy, huh?" "What?" "Time's up." "You ready for the transmission?" "Yup." "Move out of the way." "PARK, you ready?" "East River, ready?" "Yeah, we're ready." "Okay, PARK, let's go." "Signal." "Cue!" "CHOI Gon's Afternoon's Request, Hundredth-show special!" "Hello, this is Afternoon's Request, and I'm CHOI Gon." "You know, I've started slow, but we're already doing our hundredth show." "I thought Youngwol was tiny, but looking from up here... it really is tiny." "It's good to be out of the studio for once, and to see you guys in person." " Gon, Gon!" " Hey, KIM from the coffee shop." "What's up?" "I didn't order coffee." "Who ordered coffee?" "I did!" "Not on credit, I hope?" "Hey, JANG." "Yeah." "Who's ordered noodles?" "He took the bike all the way up here." "Whew." "And that nurse who worried about... the hospital closing down." "How are the snakes doing?" " You should be around here by now." " Is the poor man who" " Straight up." " confessed love here too?" "Where are you?" " Hey, welcome!" " And the girl beside you must be..." "You did it." "Congratulations!" "It's been a long time." "You look good." "You all know the bachelor from the flower shop?" "Yes!" "Should we have them get married just after the broadcast?" "Yeah!" "You know who these guys at the back are?" "No!" "They are the guys who sung during the broadcast." "The bastards." "The bastards, the bastards!" "had a hard time bringing the instruments up here." "They've Should we hear them sing?" "I introduce you to Youngwol's best and only rock band, East River!" "Hello everyone." "Are you ready to rock?" "Stand up, all of you!" "Yeah!" "Director KIM is here." "Hey, you guys, take it easy." "I'm having a hard time because of your program." "What do you mean?" "People have listened to your show on the internet, and are tormenting me to broadcast the show live." "Afternoon programs are not getting good ratings, and you're trying to take away the listeners in Seoul too?" "What are you comparing it against?" "This is not the same Youngwol you knew!" "Hey!" "Does this guy still sulk in the middle of a meeting?" "Was he like that before?" " Hey, I didn't sulk!" " Yes you did." "Producer KANG?" "Yeah, I'm KANG Suk-young." "Good job." "This is quite some show." "Come here a minute." "There's been word to bring Gon's program to Seoul." "Are you serious?" "It hasn't been decided yet." "Hey, don't tell Gon." "He'll create a havoc once he knows about it." "Okay, okay." "Top secret." "And you, come to Seoul when you have time." "This is a secret too, right?" "Meet CHOI Young-do, president of Star Factory." "He's got quite a group of stars with him." "I'm CHOI Young-do." "I don't have a name card." "I'm Gon's manager, PARK Min-soo." "Hold it just one second!" "Hold!" "This is Korean Rock's" "Living Legend!" "The only live witness!" "And East River's..." "Spiritual leader!" "CHOI Gon's 'The Rain and You'!" "Let's hear it!" "Sir, please sing it for us." "Please, please!" "CHOI Gon, CHOI Gon!" "CHOI Gon, CHOI Gon!" "He wants us to sing it." "We'll do it." "We'll do our best." "Thank you." "Thank you." "This is for all of you, 'The Rain and You'!" "That's too bad." "I wanted to hear CHOI Gon sing." "Hey, the stage is too small for him anyway." "Right?" "Yeah." "I'll look forward to seeing him on a bigger stage." "You'll see him soon enough." "Hundred days already!" "Man, it's about time you raised hell again." "Do you have any solutions left if I do that again?" "Bastard." "Who was that guy that came along with director KIM?" "President of Star Factory or something." "He looked very young." "What was he doing here?" "Just a casual visit." "Why didn't you sing back there?" "You should've." "I was afraid that I might want to sing again." "Is something wrong with your wife?" "No, I'll be back in a day, so don't make any mistakes and do well on the broadcast." "Come back soon." "Okay." "It's good to see Gon do well." "But it's not easy living on just the deejay income." "You'll have to do a couple of shows like me." "But that isn't easy either." "Hey, they're crazy about Gon's program right now." "And I heard director KIM was worrying about you." "You're losing all the endorsements?" "Okay, so Gon's doing well as a deejay." "Does that earn him plenty of money?" "Money?" "Hey, If he releases an album..." "Hey, even Elvis won't do well with an album these days." "If you had gone to Youngwol as I had told you to in the first place, it would've been much different." "Yeah, but you know Gon." "Hey, I've been with the guy 20 years." "So when will Gon come to Seoul?" "He isn't just coming to Seoul to deejay." "Hey, the president of Star Factory is waiting for you." "What for?" "Hey, don't ask." "I'll call him to tell him you're dropping by, okay?" "It's a good thing, trust me." "Good thing?" "Is this lucrative?" "Can I help you?" "I'm here to see the president." "Please wait." "This is Busan, I loved your open broadcast yesterday." "You were here yesterday?" "That would've been awesome." "No, I listen to it on the internet everyday." "I was on your concert at Busan Gymnasium." "Oh really." "Thank you." "So... you're trying to cut me out and make a deal with Gon?" "You must not know our relationship, Gon and I..." "Singer and manager, right?" "Yeah, I've been his manager for 20 years." "What have you done for CHOI Gon for 20 years?" "What, so he won the grand award in 88', and I was just carrying his stuff for him?" "Do you think that day will come again?" "Of course." "I'll personally make that happen." "Gon comes to Seoul, he'll do well DJ'ing." "He releases an album, holds a couple of concerts, and one or two endorsement deals..." "Who's going to release his album, and where will he find the resources to hold a concert?" "There currently is a need for oldies in the music market." "This will be CHOI Gon's last chance." "Do you want to be an obstacle to CHOI Gon?" "Obstacle?" "Hey, Gon." "Where are you?" "How're you doing?" "I've got no cigarette." "Where's the store around here?" "Hey, it's just across the street." "When are you coming?" "Hello?" "Min-soo?" "Let's go." "You might not remember, but do you know how hotly contested the grand award in 88' was?" "LEE Seung-chul's 'Don't say goodbye'," "PARK Nam-jung's 'Oh the blowing wind', it was crazy." "Then there was the bassist from group Love and Peace," "LEE Nam-yi's 'I feel like crying'," "LEE Sang-eun's 'Damdadi'," " and LEE Sun-hee's 'I always'..." " You're here." "This song's still requested regularly." "How's Gon doing without me?" "So imagine how intense it was for the final award." " You here?" " Yeah." "And the managers..." "They were battling it out to make their singers the grand award winner, but you can't lobby for the grand award." "So it was all about talent, and guess who won?" "I don't want to brag, but it was CHOI Gon, with 'The Rain and I'." "Why did you arrive so late?" "Had plenty of fun with Soon-young?" "I envy you, man." "Having a wife and all." "Hey, watch who you're talking about!" "Soon-young's no friend of yours!" "Cigarette." "Is something wrong back at home?" "Didn't you buy cigarettes yesterday?" "Cigarettes I can buy." "Hey, you know the East River..." "Is it called like that because it flows toward the east?" "Or because it begins from the east?" "Is that something to be curious about?" "Don't you like Youngwol?" "Great air..." "It was suffocating up in Seoul." "Hey, why don't we just live here, you DJ'ing and me helping you out?" "You can bring over Soon-young and live here yourself." "That must be Andromeda." "Can you see?" "Let me have a go." "That's the terminal station of 'Galaxy Express 999', man." "Let's see it!" "Hey, this is more interesting than I thought." "Yeah?" "Hey, Gon!" "Huh?" "What zodiac sign are you?" "Scorpio." "That's why you're such an ass." "I'm Aquarius." "Hey, you're Alcoholicius." "Darn it." "Gon, did you know that stars don't shine on their own?" "Light reflects off them." "Gon, Soon-young's sushi place is doing well, and she's thinking of expanding the hall." "That's great." "She was a good chef all along." "I think it might be time for me to sit on the counter to help her out." "Not sitting on the counter would be more helpful." "Where you going?" "Gon." "I'm leaving for Seoul." "Where?" "Seoul, man." "What for?" "You're on your own now." "What do you mean?" "Hey, we should talk." "Are you betraying me, PARK Min-soo?" "What did you say?" "Fine, go to your wife and have plenty of fun!" "That's no way to talk to me!" "Am I wrong?" "All you did was mooch off me when I was a big star!" "And now you're leaving me?" "Yeah, because there's nothing to mooch off you anymore!" "What's wrong with that?" "Who brought me to this lousy place, huh?" "What if you hadn't?" "Do you think being in jail is any better?" "Don't bull shit me." "My life is messed up because of you!" "What about mine?" "What have you done for me, huh?" "That's why I'm leaving, because I'm no good to you!" "Go then, go!" "Get out of here!" "Hey, PARK Min-soo, let's get this clear." "I don't ever want to see you again, okay!" "The granny here wants to consult that professional of yours." "Let's hear him out." "Just play the norm, and stop fighting." "What, do you want me to pay you?" "Here's the next song." "What's wrong with you today?" "Everyone gather around!" "CHOI Gon's Afternoon's Request... is heading to Seoul!" "Seoul?" "Yes." "Producer KANG, you're not returning to Wonjoo." "Go straight to Seoul." "You mean me?" "Yeah." "And me?" "You're coming with me to Won-joo!" "Congratulations, CHOI Gon!" "Producer!" "Let's have the audience hear about it tomorrow." "Gon, I need your farewell comment for tomorrow's broadcast." "Meeting is over!" "Where's this guy gone?" "No idea." "FOR RENT" "Where's my Mi-jung?" "Asleep already?" "What's happened to the shop?" "Sold it." "So how come you're still making sushi rolls?" "Sells well at the subway station." "Aren't you curious about me right now?" "When listening to the radio, I was always curious how a deejay would look like." "Now I'm curious about how everyone else listening to the broadcast is doing." "KIM at the coffee shop." "Are you there right now?" "KIM's the ace of the shop," "I'm sure she's on delivery right now." "JANG from the Chinese restaurant, don't immerse yourself into a show, the main chef will hit you on the back of the head." "Granny with the cards, I've done some research, and they say there aren't fixed rules." "Told ya!" " No definite rules!" " So don't fight and have fun playing." "East River..." "What are you guys disguised as today?" "Shit, how did he know?" " Did you tell him?" " Hey, it's not me!" " Did you tell him?" " No." "Thank you for listening to my show." "I got an offer to deejay in Seoul." "It was great while it lasted over here..." "What's up?" "A cup of coffee..." "Don't bother." "I'll get you a cup." "Hey brother!" "Hey, Jang-hoon." "You should know president CHOI." "I'm a fan of your show." "I heard you're moving to Seoul." "Things will get busy now." "You're here to tell me that?" "It's time you made your comeback." "I'll help you, let's make a deal." "Talk with my manager about that." "Your manager and I have already reached an agreement." "You've met Min-soo?" "He really knows the business well." "I will personally compensate him..." "You bastard, what have you done to Min-soo?" "Do you realize what you've done?" "You're rough, as I've been told." "Yeah, asshole, I'm rough!" "I see you still have that temper." "Yeah, I do!" "But if I hit you and go to jail, there's no Min-soo around me to bail me out, so consider yourself lucky!" "What are you doing?" "Everything's been cleared with Min-soo!" "Asshole!" "You tempted him, didn't you?" "Shit." "Min-soo's won't be with you anymore!" "Let him go!" "What?" "Min-soo told me that he wanted to live his own life now." "He told me that it'll be the best for both of you." "Do you understand?" "Damn it." "Let's go!" "The dumbass can't even think properly." "Hey, hey, hey!" "You idiot!" "What are you saying?" "Do you know how hard it was for Min-soo because of you?" "You selfish bastard!" "I'm not going to Seoul." "I'm staying put." "The broadcast starts in two days!" "Do you want me to get in trouble?" " You don't want a comeback?" " No, I'm fine here." "Fresh sushi rolls!" "Fresh sushi rolls made this morning." "One dollar each!" "Thank you." "How many left?" "Almost finished." " I'll finish these off then." " Really?" "Yup." "Fresh sushi rolls made this morning." "One dollar!" "You think regional broadcasts are a piece of cake, huh?" "What else can we do?" "We've already released the schedule, and there are people waiting to hear CHOI Gon's voice!" "I've had to fight IM Baek-chun to get a slot, and now this?" "CHOI Gon won't listen to you, and you'll think he'll listen to me?" "Listen up." "We're getting Gon's show to be aired nationwide, so have him do the show, okay?" " Okay?" " Damn it!" "Hey, where's CHOI Gon right now?" "We're airing the show nationwide from here." "From Youngwol?" "Yeah." "So you get him to do the show, okay?" "Huh?" "Okay." "You don't have to go to Seoul." "Do your show here at Youngwol." "I'm not DJ'ing." "We're airing nationwide from Youngwol, you understand?" "Is this because of Min-soo?" "Don't talk to me about Min-soo." "He didn't do much for me." "No, he made you a star." "And now that you're a mess, he's the only one who treats you like a star." "Enough!" "We're doing the nationwide broadcast tomorrow, so do as you like!" "You've met him yesterday?" "I talked to him, but he won't budge." "A nationwide broadcast." "We mess this up, and we're all dead!" "What do we do, sir?" "Oh man..." "What do you mean, what do we do?" "You go in and say something, you said you used to deejay." "It's not funny, you!" "What else can we do?" "Why are you asking me that?" "Do something yourself!" "Should I work on the signal?" "Whatever!" "Producer KANG, I'm doing the signal now." "Whatever!" "That's it." "I did the signal." "Hey, here's the script!" "Get in there, hurry!" "There isn't a better word that makes your heart flutter than 'first'." "First tears, first snow, first meet, first date," "First kiss, first broadcast." "It seems like just yesterday that" "I made the same opening comments here at Youngwol, and now I'm here speaking to the nation." "Hello, I'm CHOI Gon, grand award winner of 88'." "The first song that I'll be playing is by the Buggles," "'Video killed the radio star'." "Hey, you want to go for coffee?" "One more bottle of soju." "Cheers." "Bottoms up." "Check." "Get ready." "You ready?" "Yeah." "Cue!" "Go." "Dad, it's Ho-young." "Can you come back home?" "Since you've left," "Grandma is running the restaurant, and she cries every night." "You left home because of me, right?" "I don't fight with Woo-young any more, and I listen to Grandma, so please come back, all right?" "Who told you that?" "What?" "Who told you your father left home because of you?" "Dad used to say that when he drank." "Because I fight with my brother and don't listen to Grandma." "What's your dad's name?" "JUNG Sang-chul." "Hey, JUNG Sang-chul!" "You should know me." "I signed an autograph for you back in 89'." "Come back home, right now." "You left home to find your wife, that's fine." "But you can't tell your boy that shit!" "Come back, and tell Ho-young that you didn't leave because of him." "Tell him it was because of you." "You can then leave again!" " Gon..." " You stay put!" "Come back, wherever you are!" "And you, stop crying!" "You haven't done anything wrong!" "He's crying, damn it!" "Where the heck are you!" "Come back, bastard!" "We'll hear a song." "I'm looking for a person too." "PARK Min-soo." "Age, forty-six." "Min-soo!" "Min-soo, come back!" "You're just pulling a prank on me, right?" "I was fine playing in an underground band, and you told me I could become like Elvis." "Hey, you told me I could be greater than Elvis!" "But what's this?" "You told me at the observatory that there's no star that shines by itself, so come back and help me shine!" "Let me shine like a real star should..." "Hey..." "You listening to me?" "Come back if you hear me." "Go." "Go~" "I'm not going." "I'm chairman of the fan club, remember?" "Go, or I'll have the mob go after you." "Go, idiot." "I'm staying here to sell sushi rolls with you." "We have a phone call." "Let's just listen to the music." "Come on, take the call." "Hello." "Gon!" "Hey, it's you, Ho-young." "Yeah." "Daddy's home!" "What?" "Really?" "Yeah." "He came last night." "Let me talk to him." "Dad!" "He doesn't want to talk to you." "He's scared of you." "Can I request a song?" "What's that?" "'The The Rain and You'." "I see you once, I see you twice~ and I still want to see you~"
