Duet Song Festival (듀엣가요제)

A fantastic collaboration between Korea's top singers and amateur singers.

-Where dreams become reality on stage. -Duet Song Festival!

-Welcome (Sung Si-kyung, Baek Ji-young, Yoo Se-yoon)

-Wow, the audience is so loud today.

Let's first meet our panel guests. Welcome!

Welcome, welcome. (Muzi, Yang Se-hyung, Shin Bora)

(Def-con, Dalshabet Group's: Su-bin, Ah-young)

Welcome everyone. Have you watched our program before?

-Yes, I'm a devoted watcher. -Oh really? -Korea's number one program.

-Are we really number one? -Let's just go with it. -Is it because she's on?

I was hoping to see Muzi as a challenge singer.

He would be great. -He's a great singer.

He can volunteer himself as the amateur singer.

-Well when I first heard I had been asked to come on the show... -Yes?

So I thought I was here to sing instead of being on the panel.

-You dyed your hair for nothing. -Yes. If there's an opportunity, please call me.

-Of course! -Muzi is very talented. He's articulate and he can sing well.

(He appeals to the audience with his parody of Cho Yong-pil)

(He successfully appeals to the audience) -He can do anything!

Now, let's meet our six singers who will be with us today.

Out of the six teams, the first team to introduce...

is going for their fourth consecutive win. A monster duet.

-They are monsters. -Han Dong-geun and his partner with the boyish charm: Choi Hyo-in!

Welcome to the show.

(With sincerity in their looks and voices...)

(their duet song made the soul cry! Dong-geun & Hyo-in)

(They succeed in winning their 3rd consecutive win with )

I used to listen to this song when I was going through a lot of hardship.

When I used to think, can I live off of my singing? Can I keep living like this?

Thank you so much for applauding...

(The audience loudly greets the team who has 3 consecutive wins)

Let's take a closer look at Dong-geun's story on Duet Song Festival.

He was a funny and charming guest on our panel.

-But then Jung-in got pregnant. -Which became his chance.

And he's been with us ever since.

And who would've guessed at how great his duet partner, Hyo-in, was going to be.

-Yes. Thank you Hyo-in. -Thank you too.

He's changed a lot. Even his looks right?

At first he had sort of a country-like

-But now, he's more... -Like a star? -Yes, like a star.

Hyo-in, you've been watching Dong-geun as he changes.

-I've seen his appearance change and it's hard to get used to. -His appearance?

He gets better looking each day. -Really?

Yes, he's made my heart flutter for an instant as well.

Hyo-in! -It must be the fall season.

So cute! -What's really going on here?

-Explain yourself! -What's going on? -Only when I'm a bit sleepy.

People say you get prettier when love is in the air.

Is that the reason you're getting prettier Hyo-in?

-She lost a lot of weight too. -It'll funny if all this is correlated to Dong-geun.

Please find your seats. -Thank you.

Next we'll meet the teams the 500 member audience voted to see back on the show.

SG Wannabe's Lee Suk-hoon and Single Man Kim Chang-soo's team

I was really curious as to why you volunteered for the show.

-I'm 31 years-old, but I've been single all my life. -All your life? -Yes.

My self-esteem is low because girls won't come near me saying I look scary.

-I used to be over 200 pounds. We'll diet together and sing together.

(From that point on, he began directing his voice to the world)

(Sung-hoon's supportive looks helps Chang-soo with his nervousness)

I almost began to cry when I was watching Chang-soo sing.

It was because you could tell he was trying to fight his demons on stage.

I could feel he was fighting to find confidence by bravely being on stage.

(Small miracles can happen when you work together)

-You lost weight. -You lost a lot of weight Chang-soo.

How much did you lose?

I think I lost 6 pounds in 1 week.

Are you okay? Do you feel weak when you sing?

-I feel a bit weak right now. -Seriously? -I don't think that's possible.

No, if you keep dieting you feel weak sometimes.

-But he just ate a couple of minutes ago. He said he was hungry. -Oh he did?

-He could no longer resist huh? -That's right.

-How have you guys been doing? -Really good.

-We actually met a couple of times to practice. -I see.

Did you practice a lot more than last time?

Yes. We met Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

I think we spent the whole day in my studio practicing.

How did you like it Chang-soo?

It was great. There were a lot of things learn about... but Suk-hoon...

-Can you please use the microphone?

-Please use the microphone. -He's only talking to Baek Ji-young.

What I really want to....

...that's right!

It looks like you were cussing!

I really really....

hate Sung Si-kyung.

(Self muting-microphone by one arm movement)

Chang-soo, during last week's interview of your performance,

you were very meek and shy like a small teddy bear.

Your whole attitude feels different today, did you receive some other training?

He feels more like an older brother to me now.

He jokes around saying he's tired of seeing me. He told me not to meet up again.

I think this is the first time I've seen Chang-soo speak clearly and joke like this.

It's really moving! -It really is.

As a confidence booster, ask the audience for their cooperation and votes.

Yes.

-Wow! Look at his new-found confidence!

A lot of difference. -He's changed!

I ask for your cooperation and your votes!

I ask for your cooperation and your votes!

-Woah! (Our Chang-soo has changed!) -He's changed a lot!

Thank you. We'll look forward to your performance. Please find your seats!

-Thank you! -Thank you! -We're rooting for you!

Wow! He found his confidence in just a week. He's so brave.

-Now, who is next? -I'm looking forward to seeing him. What is he wearing today?

He always surprises us with his new fashion sense.

It's Tei and cosmetic salesperson Lee Sun-mi.

Now I see it. You look like wormwood rice cakes.

Cement-style! -Oh yes, cement cement.

Do you know me?

Of course I know you, I'm a total fan of yours.

(Their yearning and melodic voices melted the audience's hearts)

Wow! (Dazzling)

You guys looks nice!

Did you think we'd leave you alone if you dressed nicely like this?

-Tei! -Let's look for something to make fun of him.

-How will we make fun of him? -What a disappointment. -Too professional!

-You look nice and it's disappointing. -Yes it is.

You do realize you're back here because you said you

were going to wear something even more shocking?

Did I really say that last time? -Yes.

-The thing is, I never chose any of my outfits to be funny. -Oh really?

I tried picking something nice to wear so I wouldn’t be funny.

-I custom ordered this suit. -Oh really? -I thought it would be nice to match.

What about the fabric? The fabric looks a bit cheap.

The stripes?

Last week we messed with Sun-mi, but she said she actually liked it.

-Why? -When else would I be made fun of that a person like Tei and I are dating?

This is a duet show. Did you come on the show to get hooked up?

-No, that's not it. -Our Duet Festival's guests are weird.

Since we practice together, we're more affectionate towards one another.

It's just human we become closer.

-I hope your performance is as great as your matching outfits. -Thank you.

-Please find your seats. -Thank you. -Thank you.

Now, who will duel against Team Han Dong-geun, Team

Tei and Team Lee Suk-hoon on Duet Song Festival?

Let's meet them right now.

-Long time no see. -Hello. It's been along time since I last saw this mic.

(The guys go crazy realizing Solar will appear on the show)

(This generation's idol group that began girl crushes)

(The 1st Episode: Solar showed an impressive performance)

(She doesn't leave anything out and she's back)

When we first did the show, I was really nervous.

But now, it's more anticipation than nervousness.

(Our second singer anticipates being on the show as well)

Hello (Her excited voice could summon dolphins)

(She exemplifies sexy within her group Girl's Day)

(She's the main singer and has a cute side as well)

What are you doing?

I don't like you spending time with other men.

I think it's been awhile since I last sang.

I'm a little worried and a bit nervous.

She was already really famous even before I debuted as a singer.

I feel like I'm seeing a star.

Oh! I really like her and her group.

Gosh! What's this?

(The wildest appearance out of the three) Tada! Hello!

Don't I look like Miss Korea?

(Contestants are slightly worried at seeing the final boss of girl groups)

I'm just hoping I'm not the oldest contestant out of the three.

Wow!

I'm really curious as to what she will perform for us.

I'm looking forward to it.

(3 girl groups are here to take over Duet Song Festival)

Welcome!

Welcome!

JeA stands out the most with her colorful dress.

-Yes. -Everyone is dull-colored and then... -She's colorful and green by herself.

-Green! -My nails are the green as well. -Green!

JeA... you look like you belong somewhere in a classroom.

I do look like a chalkboard don't I? A billboard maybe?

I was afraid the audience's eyes would get tired.

They can look at me and their eyes will be better.

I see. -Oh yes!

-It's nice seeing you again Solar. -Hello and thank you. -We missed you!

(This generation's trendiest girl group Mamamoo's Solar)

How have you been doing? Aside from getting married.

(She's married to Eric Nam on )

I'm working on our album these days.

I see! You were really disappointed that you had to go first last time you were on.

-She was. -Yes we practiced so hard last time.

When would you like to go for this show?

I'd rather go first if we can't go fourth or fifth.

You'd rather go first than second or third?

Yes. -I see. -Oh oh oh!

If we don't get enough votes then do we have to leave?

No no. -No that's not it.

-You have to just sit while we record the rest of the show. -Oh I see.

That's kind of like punishment in a way.

-You can't pout either. -You'll need to laugh and show reaction.
