Duet Song Festival (듀엣가요제)

Korea's top professional singers and amateurs in one place!

The place where dreams come true! Duet Song Festival!

Hi, everyone.

We select the winning team over the period of two weeks.

Which means participants work twice as hard, and you can have twice as much fun.

- Let's welcome today's guests. Welcome! - Hi.

- First of all... baam! - Yo, baam!

Jun-hyung, welcome to our show.

- I like it here very much. - What do you like about it?

These chairs are so comfortable.

When I go on other shows, they usually give me hard plastic chairs, which aren't as comfortable.

MBC, my best channel! Baam!

- Alright. And why is he so quiet? - He doesn't seem to be the guy we know.

- Let's welcome Jo Kwon! - Hi, I'm Jo Kwon.

- 2 o'clock in the morning. - Ah.

- You mean 2 am. - 2 am.

- Okay, next. Oh, they're handsome. - Jota and Lee Geon from Madtown. Welcome!

- Hi, I'm jota from Madtown. - Hi, I'm Lee geon.

Jota is really busy nowadays.

He's on many shows, like "we got married" and "real men"

which show is harder, "we got married" or "real men"?

They are both hard.

What's so hard about being married though?

Did he get married!?

- No, it's a TV show we're talking about. - Ah-ha.

He got married on your favorite channel, MBC.

Ah, yeah!

- Jun-hyung, watch some TV. - We got married!

Alright then, let's begin!

Let us introduce the seven teams that are going to compete today.

Last contest's winning team, Kim Jo-han and Jin Sung-hyuk!

Wow!

(Many people in the audience pushed the button)

You two stopped Dong-geun's team from winning five times straight.

Yes.

And apparently you felt guilty after that?

Why guilty?

In the music industry, I sometimes meet those who are just beautiful people.

I want to keep listening to their music. I love their performances.

I was worried that I might never be able to see Dong-geun's team perform again.

I see. Do you think you're going to win again today?

As I said last time, I just want to have fun.

Alrighty, I'm looking forward to your performance. Go back to your seats, please.

They'll sit in the center.

Oh, that's how people greet on the west coast.

Do people greet differently on the east coast?

Yes.

Jun-hyung, show us.

In la... "Yo what's up, man?"

- "Catch you in a bit" - okay. What is it like on the east coast?

- Hey, man. It's nice to see you. - Nice to see you too.

- East is more gentle. - It's funny.

It's more gentle.

- They speak like scholars on the east. - Ah-ha.

Okay, that was two western coasters greeting.

It's time for "the team that you want to see again".

Yes. Let me introduce Han Dong-geun and Choi Hyo-in.

(Recollecting the precious times that they shared together)

(But the audience chose them for "the team that you want to see again")

How do you feel? You lost last time.

I could see you got all teary-eyed...

...thinking you would win and it would be your last appearance.

It wasn't planned or anything.

I cried because I was so into it.

I liked Jo-han's team's performance a lot.

- The only thin I'm not happy with is... - Yes.

As you know, we got so many votes for "the team that you want to see again".

I think some people in the audience made a mistake, not having their devices close enough to the screen.

So let me instruct you on how to vote again, just in case. It's not that difficult.

There is a round button on your remote...

Hey, that's my job! Telling people how to vote.

- Things are going as we planned. - (We can't let them win five times!)

Hyo-in, how about you? Do you want to win?

Yes, I want to win today and leave this place with honor.

No. Seeing your reactions, I think we should keep going.

Will they win or be stuck here forever?

I look forward to your performance. Return to your seats, please.

Thank you.

Next up is son Seung-yeun and Sung Kyung-mo.

Welcome!

(Seung-yeun's powerful voice fills the stage)

(Kyung-mo couldn't continue because he got too emotional)

The same scores! It's a tie. First time ever.

Really?

(They got chosen for "the team that you want to see again")

Unfortunately, we're going to see Seung-eun's team next week.

- At last. Here they come. - Hi.

- Seung-yeun, you're getting prettier. - Thanks.

Look at him. He's handsome. People with the last name sung are all handsome.

Last time, your performance was very impressive. I was like, "yeah, I knew she would be good".

Is it going to be something powerful this time or...?

It's going to be "strength within being soft" kind of thing.

It's good to have you here, especially because you're Dong-geun team's rival.

Last time, there was an intense competition between you guys.

Yes.

I look forward to your performance. Get back to your seats, please.

Let's meet the other teams.

(He's known for his remarkable singing skills)

I never thought I would have these "duet sticks" in my hand.

Since I have the experience of winning in a talent competition, I feel confident.

- Hi. - Hi.

It's been a week since I recovered from vocal nodules.

So I'm feeling very nervous. I hope I'll meet a nice partner.

You should have let him rest. So I can win.

I once competed with him and it was not easy.

- I can't avoid this though. - It's going to be tough.

- (Third singer) - Hi.

- Wow, duet singers! - (Jun. K)

Ah, Jun. K.

Gyu-hyun and Jun. K are both good-looking.

I'm screwed.

Hi. Finally I get these sticks in my hand.

- Have you ever watched our program? - Of course I have.

Recently, Dong-geun and Hyo-in sang my group's song, "I don't love you". It was impressive.

Thanks to their cover, we topped the chart.

Thank you, Dong-geun.

- Ah, it's her. - She's a strong contestant.

- I'm starting to lose confidence. - What if I get the lowest score?

Welcome!

Looking at the challengers, I think we will see you again next time, Dong-geun.

- Thanks for predicting my future. - Haha, Dong-geun.

- Nice to see you, Huh Gak. - Hi.

- Is that blanket for you? - No, it's for her.

He knows his manners.

He won in a talent competition.

Today, Seung-yeun will kill it and Dong-geun will rock it. What about you, Huh Gak?

How will I compete with these guys? I was just chilling at home and came here because you called me.

- People get excited when they see you. - Come on. You're being too polite.

Are you looking forward to my performance!?

Yes!

Alright then, I'll do my best.

Next, we have Gyu-hyun from SuperJunior.

Welcome.

- Jo-han was once Gyu-hyun's vocal coach. - Yes.

But you said the best vocalist among idols is Jun. K.

If Jun. K is the best, then Gyu-hyun is...

Ballads.

Their styles are different.

If you were to compare between Huh Gak and Gyu-hyun...

In fact, Gyu-hyun...

Is this some kind of "pick your ideal type" game?

Who will have the chance to sing with our great singers? Let's meet them now.

What kind of partners do you want?

Someone like me.

Someone completely different from me.

Someone who is like a friend.

My team members said, "someone beautiful"... and I agree with them. I hope my partner is a woman.

Rain is a good omen.

- Hi. Am I interrupting you? - No, no. We're just practicing.

- Hi, nice to meet you. - Hi.

Hi, my name is Lee Eui-jung. I'm 25 and I work as a performing arts director in Andong.

She has a soothing voice.

I think she could also tug at people's heartstrings. Especially, guys would like her.

(Nice singing along with a funny dancer in the background)

- Do you know who I am? - Of course, I do.

I'm a big fan of yours. I like listening to your music.

Sadly, my songs aren't even in the chart at the moment.

Ah, sorry to hear that.

- Ah... I knew you would come! - Hi.

- Jun. K or Cajun chicken or whatever. - Hi, nice to meet you.

I knew you would come... To pair with a woman.

Don't come near me! I'm jealous of your nice shoulders!

- Hey, no... it's not... - Hah...

I also had the same feeling. I knew you would want someone like her.

- She has a soulful voice. - That's right.
