How Do You Play? (놀면 뭐하니?)

It's the 80s MBC Seoul Song Festival.

We're here with all the qualified participants.

What you want to know the most...

is what will happen at the festival.

- Yes. - We don't know anything.

First of all, on the day of our festival,

just like any other song festival,

we'll invite actual judges to take part.

- Gosh. - I see.

We'll invite judges...

from all fields with varied expertise,

and we'll reveal who they are on the day.

Who wins what prize on the day...

will be decided solely on the judges' scores.

The prizes are...

the Grand Award, Gold Award,

- Silver Award, and Bronze Award. - Bronze Award.

On top of that, one more award will go to...

the person the viewers voted for.

As we continue to prepare for the festival,

a few more awards could be added.

How much is the prize money?

- What? - The prize money.

- I'd love to know. - Song festivals...

Excuse me. Sung Hwa.

Are you participating to turn your life around?

We're...

- We require some motivation. - Come on.

It's a song festival, so we would...

prepare some additional prizes to motivate you.

As Sung Hwa said,

I'm aware that...

some of you,

unlike the other participants, entered this event...

- to turn your lives around. - Yes.

DinDin is one of them.

- It shows. - Yes.

I want to become like Young K.

- I know. - But...

I foresee great difficulty.

- Oh, dear. - "Great difficulty."

He lost half his jawline behind the screen.

I see.

Anyway, you must sing a song from the 1980s,

and the most important criteria is originality.

We want to feel the song as if it were the 1980s.

Don't pause all of a sudden during the song...

and do this. Don't do that.

- Not like "I Am a Singer?" - That's a no.

- What about 20 musical extras? - No.

Should I dance?

- That's a no? - No EDM.

- EDM is strictly forbidden. - No way.

- Darn it. - We'll drag you off stage.

You can't do that.

Let Myung Soo do what he wants.

- What? - Let Myung Soo do what he wants.

- He'll be singing with you anyway. - You're stuck with him.

You're a team.

- Park and Park. - Park and Park.

Park-Park, Two Parks, Park and Park.

Don't let Lee Juck play the piano.

Don't allow him to rely on an instrument.

He can't use an instrument.

I won't play the piano.

Just a microphone.

- Okay. - Just a mic.

Don't play the piano.

- I won't. - No extra instrument points.

I'll tie my hands behind my back.

- No instruments. - That's fine.

Are you sure?

Do you have any questions, Jun Young?

If I want to include a dance,

- A dance. - do I have to copy the moves?

- Oh, for example... - A dance song from the 80s.

If you pick a dance song from the 80s,

- you can use moves from the 80s. - Dance moves from those days.

But you can't suddenly go, "Break it down."

Don't add anything modern.

I don't know what song he'll pick...

to sing in the festival,

- but he can dance. - He's incredible.

He could sing a Park Nam Jung song.

- Yes. - He'd ace that.

(Park Nam Jung's dance was 1 of the most popular from the 80s.)

(Will Jun Young put on a legendary performance?)

Let me add one more thing.

Other than the people here,

when we look back at the songs from the 80s,

we say, "Yes."

"I wish we could find someone to sing this song for us."

- That's true. - Right.

We might find someone who suits a certain song...

and let them participate as well.

- I see. Will they be judged too? - Yes.

That's right. They'll sing as well.

That's great.

You're thinking of singing solo or as a duo.

But let's say you want to sing Sobangcha's song.

- That would need a trio. - Or you could form a quartet.

Koreana is four people.

- Yes. - Oh, right.

Another example is Zoo.

- Oh, right. - Yes.

Five people for Little Star Family.

(Little Star Family was a 9-person group.)

I really don't want to sing alone.

- Really? - Why not?

I can sing alone...

- on any other show or event. - He wants to stand out.

On any music show.

It's a lot of pressure because if you sing alone,

you must win at least Gold, Silver, or Bronze.

It could be added pressure.

Should I say, it wouldn't be as fun?

You're so relaxed. That's admirable.

This is an actual competition.

- Yes. - It is.

Do you want to sing solo?

Rather than sing on my own,

- it would be fun to team up. - It looks like...

not a lot of you want to perform by themselves.

- There might be some pressure. - Does anyone want to perform alone?

(A member of Park and Park wants to perform alone.)

- You know what? - A while ago...

Participants more suitable in a team...

- Park and Park... - want to perform alone.

Participants who might be better on their own...

- That's funny. - want to perform as a team.

- This is complicated. - Here's why.

I don't think anyone would want to perform with me.

- Gosh, that's not true. - My gosh. That's not true at all.

No!

I sensed the vibe from all of you today.

- He's upset now. - No one wants to team up with me.

Why do you say that? We will.

- Don't pass out on the stage. - You know what?

- What did you say? - "What did you say?"

What did you just say?

- "What did you just say?" - Let him talk.

- Finish what you were saying. - He's so cool.

- You two have great chemistry. - They're so funny together.

- You know what? - They must pair up for sure.

- I have so much respect for him. - Their chemistry is great.

- They're so funny. - All right.

Yu Ree. Do you have any questions?

No.

- Didn't you doze off? - Yu Ree.

- Yu Ree. Didn't you doze off? - Didn't you?

I saw you dozing off with your eyes open.

I'm very worried.

What are you worried about?

I don't know what worries me.

But I'm just worried.

In my opinion, it's food fatigue.

I bet her blood sugar spiked up.

Please be understanding. People get sleepy after eating.

It's the blood sugar spike.

Yong Jin has a piercing voice.

- "Hey." - "Hey."

- Hey. - Wait.

- He's got a piercing voice. - As piercing as steel.

Some of you went to school in the 80s...

or experienced the era firsthand.

- But some have no such experience. - Some of them...

- weren't born. - They either watched videos...

or heard some stories from their parents.

Where do you fit in, Jun Young?

Thanks to my father,

I listened to Deulgukhwa's song for the first time.

You sang one of their songs during the preliminary round.

We used to go to karaoke...

- after having drinks together. - I see.

He sang about loyalty and romance from the era.

- That left an impression on me. - That was a romantic era.

- Right. - It was no joke.

I have a similar story.

- With me, it was my mother. - I see.

Whenever I was in her car, she used to put on songs...

from the 80s while driving.

- With cassette tapes? - What song did you listen to often?

- She listened to Sanullim. - Right.

- That's why you sang their song. - Right.

Yes. When I think of the songs from the 80s,

I always remember falling asleep in her car...

and being carried by my mother.

- I always remember that. - That's the memory you have.

You have a particular scene.

- I was an adolescent... - Right.

when I listened to songs from the 80s.

These songs played a role in shaping my dream to be a singer.

I still listen to them now.

- Is that so? - I do metal music now.

But when I go to karaoke, I always sing songs from the 80s.

- Like what? - What's your go-to song?

Well,

"Like Rain, Like Music."

- I also sing Deulgukhwa's songs. - Deulgukhwa.

Songs by Lee Sun Hee and Lee Moon Sae as well.
