Episode 5

Huh? Why is this song playing?

Wait. Look.

My world came crumbling down the moment she started dancing.

She had something I didn't.

Fear and anxiety began to rise up.

- Hello. - Hi.

Did you go home late last night?

Last night?

Weren't you practicing late?

I didn't have practice yesterday...

Oh! You must've seen my sister.

- What? - She was here yesterday.

Oh, the twin you mentioned?

Yeah. Did you see her? She looks just like me, right?

We look exactly alike.

Yeah.

No wonder she seemed different.

By the way...

Does your sister dance, too?

What? Dance?

No, she'd never dance.

She's a marathoner.

Yeah?

Whew. I almost lost.

Yeah, she's better than we thought.

It's probably a coincidence.

It's not like she has any basics.

Yeah?

When did you practice so much?

They look surprised.

I just danced what I was feeling.

I guess you really are a dancer.

Don't make fun of me.

Your face, the way you talk...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Your face, the way you talk...

Thump, thump.

Mr. Shim! Mr. Shim! Mr. Shim!

- Yes, yes, yes. - It's finally tomorrow.

I don't know why I'm so nervous.

Who's going to judge tomorrow?

Hmm, Mari? Who's it going to be?

Are we supposed to judge?

I think I'll be pretty good.

My score is...

You do know you look a bit stupid, yes?

I'm sure Mr. Kang knows what he's doing.

We finally did it!

I've been having problems with this part and I just couldn't get it right.

Well, now you do. Which proves you worked hard.

- Really? - Yeah.

Trust me. I should know.

Thanks.

I only did it because you practiced with me.

Hey, we're laundry buddies.

Yeah!

Actually, I should be the one thanking you.

For hanging out with me, the nepotism girl.

What? You didn't get in through connections.

That I can say for sure.

I'm going to work really hard. I want to.

So that I don't tarnish Suah's name.

You don't have to worry about that. You'll get so much better.

- Fight on! - Fight on!

What?

I just thought I saw Ji-seul.

Jiseul Cha? She said she had to leave early today.

I think she was wearing a delivery uniform.

- Is she working a part-time job? - I don't think so.

She looks like she's never worked a day in her life.

- You must've seen wrong. - I guess.

Come on. We have to get some sleep for the big day tomorrow.

The competition...

Huh?

I'm eating alone

Singing alone

I cry and cry

- Come on. - Yeah.

- Hello. - Hello.

Wow, look at the resolution.

What's the camera for?

Mr. Kang asked for it.

- Wow. - Is this for real?

- We're being recorded? - Are we doing something?

Girls, gather around.

Okay.

What's all this for?

From now on, your competition

is going to aired on the internet, all across the world.

The world?

But why?

Yeah, we're nervous as it is.

I'm camera shy.

Since you managed to send all the judges away,

someone has to evaluate you.

And the people who'll be evaluating you

won't be me or Mr. Shim, it'll be the viewers.

- What? - Viewers?

Oh, no.

Today's mission

will be aired tomorrow on a webcast.

The viewers will vote after the show

and evaluate each and every one of you.

This can't be happening.

- Oh, no. - Oh, no.

Hello, we're the Debut Team.

Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Let's begin.

They prepared stage costumes.

It'll be okay. We worked hard, too.

Look, they're wearing costumes for the mission.

Nice.

Don't they look prettier than Girl's Day?

Right? Right? Right?

Let's just watch.

Oh, my gosh.

They were so good.

Thank you.

The three songs seemed like one.

It all flowed together quite perfectly.

Next, the Rookie Team.

They're better than I thought.

They just started. We'll see.

They don't have a lot of experience but they're doing a good job.

Yes, they are. I'm proud of them.

Right? Right? Right?

Mr. Kang, aren't you proud of them?

Why are you so stoic?

Please, be quiet.

Oh, no. Yeeun made a mistake.

I can't watch.

What if she gets it wrong again?

It's okay. They still have one song left.

The last song is Red Queen's "Attention"?

They're in trouble.

Uh-oh.

The first round is finally over.

Good work, guys.

We're going to tally up the votes after the show is aired tomorrow

and we'll let you know who won the first round.

I'll give you my comments then.

- That's a relief. - What a relief!

Don't relax. The competition is just beginning.

From now on, you'll be hearing all the comments

from the viewers directly.

It won't be anything like the monthly evalutations you received as trainees.

So be prepared.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Um...

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Bye.

This is so uncomfortable.

- Good work, guys. - You, too.

You were great.

So the viewers are the judges this time?

You continue to surprise me.

We discovered those kids.

It would be difficult for us to be impartial.

I guess you're right.

Even if we call in judges from the outside it could turn out like last time.

But why do I get the feeling there's more to it than that?

Can I take a guess?

At first I thought it was a publicity stunt.

I was concerned that you were putting them out into the public eye

before they were ready.

But the truth is, you want people to see how much they grow.

The viewers, that is.

Am I right? Right?

I impress myself sometimes. I'm so proud of myself.

I'll be going now.

Wait. Mr. Kang. I'm not done talking.

I'm lonely! Mr. Kang! Mr. Kang!

I remembered how I practiced with you on the rooftop

and it just happened.

Are you kidding?

I'm sorry. We didn't have a mirror.

So we practiced facing each other.

I don't even know what to say to that.

How could you make such a basic mistake? That was humiliating

Yeah.

It's humiliating. It's going on air tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

If one of us gets it wrong, then all of us look bad.

Yeah. You can't make us look bad.

Still, we don't know the results yet.

You don't think we can win after that, do you?

We could.

There was a mistake, but we did good. Right?

Don't you think it's ridiculous to hope for a win

after ruining the performance?

Life isn't that easy you know.

Woah, what's with all the hostility?

I'm not surprised. After that colossal mistake.

I thought it was lack of talent.

- Hey. - What?

I think we're going to win.

Right?

I've been looking for you everywhere.
