Ajax's HyungGon

There's a hidden camera.

Oh, they're filming a reality show.

The meeting is ready.

Attention is drawn

to what?

What?

ChaeWon, Yuji, Sojin, ChaeKyung...

Are they in trouble?

Somin...

The trainees above must come to 4th floor.

In the past, once...

Do you think we have a chance in this?

Hello.

Baby Kara's ChaeKyung and Somin

My...

What is this?

Everyone is so curious.

It's been up for a few days.

You guys must be in trouble.

All members of Baby Kara have found the notice.

Why were they called in?

I don't know what's going on.

Why were we called in?

I came after school.

I said hello and turned around...

and I found the notice.

We have never had this happen before.

The notice was so big, too.

I'm nervous.

I'm hungry.

I want to eat.

I can't remember last time I ate.

Her words are not as elegant as her look.

Even if we had something, we shouldn't say so.

They are already on a diet to become an idol.

How long do we have to wait?

Hello.

Sojin's 90 degree bow

That was an act.

Sojin is witty.

Seriously.

The recording studio is on 4th floor.

Are they here for... a recording?

Maybe we'll be recording.

At that moment!

Hello.

A real production team member.

I assume you've all seen the notice.

Yes.

We'll interview you one by one.

First, we'll start with Sojin.

Please come.

Yes.

A sudden interview?

Go, Sojin!

They can almost hear their heartbeat.

Nervous

Will Sojin have a successful interview?

Hello.

Why do you think you are here?

I don't know.

Do you think you wouldl fit in as a Kara member?

I expect a lot of criticisms,

but I will know that they are just a type of interest,

and I will practice harder

and...

and give a great performance,

so that any criticism will be proven unnecessary.

I believe I can change it.

You are the eldest.

Right.

Is anything difficult in being the eldest?

W

it's not easy when I have to say what needs to be said.

I try to be direct

but it isn't always easy.

It keep thinking about it.

Even in bed,

Was I too aggressive earlier?

These concerns are the hardest.

Your motto is 'enjoy life'.

Yes.

Are you enjoying your life?

Yes. I am enjoying it.

Kara Project can be very challenging and exhausting, and make you cry.

That's...

Sojin is choked up.

What's wrong with me.

Age limits for late idol debut are age 23.

Having everything at stake can't only be fun.

To enjoy life

is my motto.

When I think back,

when I think back,

very difficult moments that made me want to give up

those moments, in time,

I think back and I think I was happy.

And...

And in time,

eventually,

they all become good memories.

Not a big deal.

I realized that.

Once I realized it.

even if it is hard, I enjoy it.

I've been living with this belief.

It wasn't an easy decision, was it?

It has to be this or nothing.

I immediately thought, I can't miss this.

I said, I'll do my best, even before I knew it.

What's happening In the waiting room?

Guessing bloodtypes

Why is this making me so nervous?

You are right.

I am right? Really?

Type O

Did she get Somin's blood type right?

You are right. - Oh, really?

If you guess ChaeKyung's right, it must be magic.

I hope she won't guess mine right.

Then of course, it'd be AB.

It was right.

I didn't say anything.

You seem like an AB.

She does.

Second interviewee is ChaeKyung.

Good Luck.

Will she be able to show her charm?

Hello.

Polite

Would you introduce yourself?

Hello, I am Yun ChaeKyung and I'm 19 years old.

Thank you.

Do you think you lack anything to be a member of Kara.

Lack...

My dancing skills need to be improved.

I don't have as much stage experience as they do.

I'm not good with facial expressions or eye glares.

And if I'm nervous, I often don't do as well as I've prepared.

That's another one.

I know your parents are more ambitious in this

I wouldn't say that.

It's just... I'm not a good student.

Is this going to be on the show?

Yes...
