Is there any progress in changing our kids' school from autonomous to normal?

I asked my kid's homeroom teacher, but he's completely clueless.

Even the principal is clueless!

Only our "Royal Momvely Diamond" knows. She's even more powerful than the principal.

- You're right. Didn't she have brunch with the Minister of Education last week? - Of course.

Do you think there'll be any good news? So why were we all summoned today?

Royal Momvely Diamond is here.

Hello.

You're moving to a nice neighborhood.

Seongjak district is blowing up these days.

You are aware of the craze behind Gangnam district 4, right?

After this tunnel was made and going to Gangnam became so fast.

All you have to do is live here a bit and move to Gangnam. Right?

Sure...

I've asked for everyone to come today to announce some good news.

I'm sure everyone knows about the top 1% after-school academy in Gangnam?

Of course. The daily trips driving back and forth from there is such a pain.

Seriously.

They've decided to open their main academy here,

in the Seongjak district.

Really?

Even the native teachers will rotate between Gangnam and here.

Our Ro-Mom Gold's children will all receive a 50% discount and be exempted from the level test.

No way! A 50% discount!

What is our goal?

One-stop education district! First-class Sungjak district!

Then maybe our kids have a chance at an Elite High School like Chaeyoung.

How dare you secretly run away.

I'm sure you're well aware of what I'll do to you once I find you.

So stop messing around, and bring back my grandson.

Mom! Mom, mom, mom! All of Jihoo's things are gone!

When the hell did they plan this?

Shut your mouth.

Wang Joonhee! Jihoo! Where are you? Where'd you guys run off to?

I said, be quiet. I'm recording.

Recording? Who in their right mind would want to hear your voice?

It gives me chills just thinking about it.

Mrs. Jang, you really didn't see anything?

I had absolutely no idea, Ma'am.

Don't lie to me. How the hell could you not know?

Should I go through the CCTV and fire all of you?

Wretched girl!

She can try but...

a broke single mother will never be treated with respect!

I said no. Rental apartment residents cannot use this entrance.

Sir, we didn't know. If you let us in just this once, we won't use it again.

Are you actually serious right now? What the hell has the world come to!

Look behind us. How do you expect us to back out?

Look at the quality of the moving truck. What is that?

They seem to be moving into the rental apartment, right?

They should just let them through.

How could they even back out?

Can't they let them in and make them take a U-turn out?

I don't like them using our entrance.

Oh my! The security let them through?

They just simply can't do their jobs properly.

Calm down, everyone.

It's not their fault they live in the rentals, right?

The fault is on those who built this place, thinking that mixing these rental residents

with us will create a more extensive community...

Hey, is that a child in the taxi?

Another kid from a resident family joining our kids?

So annoying!

It's so annoying that our school is autonomous.

Those rental residents are the reason why our apartments aren't doubling in price!

It truly was a strange neighborhood.

Someone stands precariously on the roof railing, then jumps off.

Why would she do this here?

Even in death she's causing other's harm!

What if rumors spread? Our apartment prices might fall!

A neighborhood that fears apartment prices more than death...

Everyone living here is ready.

Ready to eliminate anything or anyone that could interfere with property prices...

Please, drink this.

We could feel it in the cold looks they were giving us.

Soon enough, they would kick us out of here.

How is it?

This is our home now!

Not ours, just where we live.

Son, do you always have to be factual?

Nope!

And there is no one here to protect us.

Do you even have a conscience?

You slept all day, and now you're playing around?

Sorry, did you pull all of them out?

Let's see what we have!

You guys are amazing! What a fulfilling day.

Not bad, but we didn't really get much today.

What should I do? Should I help?

Hey, you little brat! Move and go play over there.

I'm not playing. I have to earn my keep.

My God, you're useless.

Aren't you used to this by now?

My soul and body are sensitive.

As an artist, even my five major organs are sensitive.

Jesus Christ! Captain, do we really have to pay that guy?

I am always grateful! Thank you so much!

Hey, catch these ones, too!

Look here! There are so many!

Let's just eat what we have left today, not much to work with...

The big man upstairs...

must be a fair God.

What would this useless guy be without his incredible cooking skills?

You remember, right?

Incentives on top of deep-sea fishing basic salary.

I've got real coffee for dessert!

You greedy little thief. Why the hell do you deserve an incentive!

You're playing our captain for a fool!

If you buy me some working clothes, I'll cook all three meals.

Jeez, all you care about is money.

Who in the world doesn't care about money the most?

That's true.

When I was a kid, I really thought that money was the most important.

But as I grew up and saw the world,

I realized, money really is the most important!

Old man, is it really necessary to call me?

Boss man of Hot Bar, how've you been?

How'd you get the money you sent me?

Did you sell a kidney or something?

So dramatic.

Sorry for the delay. And I couldn't send the interest.

Did I ever ask you to pay me back?

Did you go MIA just to make some money?

Hey, by any chance have you heard anything about Bongpyo?

Of course not!

If the police can't even find him, I'm sure he's on an anchovy fishing ship.

Where are you?

Me?

You know, just here and there.

Stop dicking around and come back. Just come and work here.

I paid you back. Why would I return?

I've got to save some money and get back to it!

When are you coming? Yeonjoo is waiting for you.

No way?

She's blunt,

thoughtless, but strangely loyal?

How can you say that about your own daughter?

If your daughter broke up with a guy like me, you should be telling her that

it was a smart move and that dating me was a mistake!

You shouldn't try and support us.

She's dating someone worse than you...

Come on. There's no way...

Anyways, I can't go right now. I can but I won't.

So, stay healthy, old man.

Hey, J. King...

That was JUST BE's comeback.

JUST BE is back after an 8 month hiatus.

They sound even better.

Thank you for an amazing performance.

Next up... It's a huge hit!

Our superstar of the retro craze, who has maintained the top spot for 3 weeks...

"Pink Angel's" Uptempo Disco song, "Vanilla"!

Joonhyeok! Joonhyeok!

Yeonjoo, stop running around. You might fall.

Look! Look! A news article!

She said he's in the news!

"Today, May 20th, at the Red Square M Hall,

Unisex member Seonah's solo album showcase!

The final winner of Super Dream Voice Season 2,

J. King will appear as a guest!"

"J. King was immediately defrauded of his entire prize money...

His album 'Something' was scheduled to be released but was canceled.

After a hiatus of more than 10 years, he was completely forgotten by the public..."

Jeez, why is Bongpyo writing an article with all these unnecessary details?

Well, it's all true.

Damn Joonhyeok, you really had a rough 10 years, huh?

Forget about the past. You got this, you're going to make it!

Success! Success!

Come back! Come back!

Make it! Make it!

No, sorry, you cannot enter this way.

Please use the main entrance.

Oh, he's J. King. Seonah's guest artist.

Hi, everyone, I'm J. King.

Our guest artist already arrived...

There must be a mistake.

Please wait.

Nothing?

I'll call him.

Do we have more guest artists?

Someone is here constantly claiming that he's a guest today...

Yeah.

Excuse me. I think you're mistaken.

Mistaken? What do you mean mistaken?

Look. It's an article proving his gig today.

- He's not answering? - Yeah, no answer.

Can you call Chief Hong from inside?

- Who? - Mr. Hong. He's my friend,

Chief of production at JYB Records. Hong Bongpyo.

We've never heard of such a person.

Chief Hong? Hong Bongpyo...

Can't he hear?
