Entertainer (딴따라)

Entertainer.

Episode 1.

They were just entertainers who were being friendly.

What do you mean dating?

There are rumours going around.

There's a photograph of Jinu and Song Yi together.

They're in the same agency, so that can happen.

If I had something this hot, I'd give it to you.

You will, right? Okay.

And honestly, Song Yi isn't even Jin Woo's type.

You know that.

If it's real you know I'll be really upset.

What should I say? Huh?

If it is true, I'll buy you a car.

But it's not true so just write good articles for Jackson, okay?

Okay.

I'll come visit you soon.

All right then. I love you!

I love you!

I love you... what crap!

Director, not there. You can't park there.

Director!

How many times is this?

You're here, sir?

Why is the rumor spreading already? You better do your job.

I'm... I'm sorry.

That picture...

Get rid of it!

Yes.

- My office? - Yes.

- Since when? - For a while now.

That piece of trash.

Don't come in.

Oh my! Reporter Park.

If you say they're dating with this, I'll be pretty upset.

They are in the same agency, after all. Take a look yourself.

The backgrounds are all the company or the studio.

Do you think I'd write it just based on this?

This is the real thing.

Gosh, these kids are really something.

They are really enjoying themselves.

I've already written the article.

How much will it take?

- One bill? - Okay.

Oh right.

When I write about Jackson, I shouldn't come to KTOP anymore.

I should go to your new company, right?

I heard you won the right to sign Jackson after his contract terminates.

Now, you just need to take him with you when you go.

I just need to wrap things up.

Please write nice articles about Jackson from now on.

You're all I have, Reporter Park. You need to see them in a good light.

Oh, Director...

Wait, I should call you Chairman now.

Let's work together from now on.

I trust you.

Hey, hey, hey.

Is this how you KTOP people are going to be?

You want to record now instead of rehearsing?

And play a pre-recorded song on a live show?

Song Yi is really sick.

I'm so sorry.

Forget it.

I don't even want to talk to you guys. Get lost.

Producer, next time I'll put her on an IV drip and make her do it.

Please let us off the hook this time. Drink this.

Are you crazy?

This isn't the first time.

Get Shin Suk Ho here right now!

Song Yi, why do you look so healthy?

You should be lying down. You're supposed to be sick.

Lie down.

He's coming. Lie down.

- You have to get ready. - Are you okay?

Can you hear me? Song Yi, Song Yi...

You still can't play a recording.

The PD is insisting on a live show this time.

In this state? Who should I talk to?

Director Shin!

What is this ringing in my ear?

Station Chief? Station Chief!

We leave recording, go shoot a commercial, and get called street thugs.

I'm so exhausted, Song Yi.

I'm exhausted too.

I suppose.

What good is it if we work this hard and earn money?

Because of a few trashy pictures, all that money flies out the door.

It took a lot of money to take care of your pictures with Jin Woo.

Don't touch Jin Woo.

You're in your late 20s now.

You suffered until now, so what are you doing?

We really love each other.

Love?

It's been a long time since I've heard that line.

We're entertainers.

Entertainers should sing and dance.

Why are you pretending to be a normal person? It's nauseating.

The company is going to split now, so take care of it.

Yes, Lawyer Park.

Oh really?

Then I guess it will be taken care of today.

Thank you for your hard work.

I heard there was some noise over Jin Woo and Song Yi.

Has it been taken care of?

It won't get any worse.

I had to spend a lot to keep it quiet.

Should I congratulate you on winning the case?

Are preparations going well for your new company?

I'll have to start out as a small business.

You call it a small business when you're taking Jackson?

That's a humble comment.

You're no different than one of the pioneer members of this company.

I feel that I gave to you without holding back.

But you must have felt differently.

It's not like that, sir.

Nonetheless, I will settle my affairs and head out on my own.

I assume Jackson's new single is being released from KTOP.

We will have to release it earlier than planned.

Releasing it two weeks earlier is nothing for you, Shin Suk Ho.

Of course, I should give you a gift before I go.

Thank you.

No, I should be saying that to you.

Thank you, sir.

Really?

What you should be saying is "sorry", Suk Ho.

I'm just kidding. You should get going.

Did you ask for me?

Yes.

We have some more work to do.

What is it?

Chairman Lee Joon Suk would like to release Jackson's new single here.

Let's do it in two weeks.

In two weeks?

Why? What's the problem?

We were supposed to do it in four weeks.

All of the other players will be in an uproar.

Joo Han, this isn't the first time.

The others can settle the matter. Just get prepared for it.

Suk Ho, if we cut the line and it doesn't do well on the charts, we're dead.

Kim Gun Mo's new single will be out in two weeks.

Number one will be very difficult.

- Let's just do what we planned... - Then we will be number one!

Why don't you just start packing? We'll be moving as soon as we release.

I already told Chairman Lee that you're coming with me.

Okay, thanks.

- What was that? - What?

You were very awkward.

What do you mean thanks? You planned this whole thing with me.

Now that the time is here, I'm a little nervous.

You punk... you're scared.

You're scared.

I will remember this favor until I die.

I'm not so sure, Director.

Are you really going to set up your own company?

The article is already out there, so why are you so worried Section Chief?

My bosses are throwing a fuss.

They're wondering why Jackson's contract is being delayed.

Now things can be explained.

Jackson was planning on going to a new company.

As soon as we leave the company, we're going to sign right away.

I trust you Director Shin.

But isn't Chairman Lee Joon Suk upset?

There are no legal problems so what can he do?

How beautiful is the law?

Look at me. The law is protecting me.

Jackson's contract was determined to be a slave contract.

Automatic termination.

I have new boat and I'm running, so wait a little bit.

Let's win the case together.

Keep your promise, Director Shin.

You must be... getting really old now.

You worry a lot.

Here, cheers to loyalty.

Mango.

Yes, Station Chief.

A congratulatory drink?

A congratulatory drink already?

Yes, I did win the case and I settled the matter with Chairman Lee.

If you want to buy me a drink, I will gladly accept, Station Chief.

Thank you. Yes, Station Chief.

Chairman, I heard you asked for me.

Yes, sit down.

How long have you been a manager?

Oh, a long time.

My nickname is Eternal Manager.

I can't sleep these days.

I don't think it's because of the losses I'll suffer from Jackson leaving.

It's not like this company will fall because we lose Jackson.

Having to watch Shin Suk Ho work with Jackson...

that's what keeps me up at night.

Is that childish?

No. I understand.

You should stop being a manager and become a director, Joo Han.

What do you mean by that?

Let's take this actress and make a movie.

Jo Ha Neul's guardian.

Come in.

Jo Ha Neul is...

a good student with excellent grades.

He lost both his parents at once, but he works hard and focuses on his studies.
