Let's get her to a hospital. The car's over there. Don't go. 082. My cell phone passcode is your date of birth. Ma'am, this is JB. Please don't be alarmed. Are you awake? Do you know where you are? Calm down. Didn't you go to see Haeseong? Yeah, but I haven't seen her yet. Didn't you hate me? You have such a way with words. If I hated you, would I have carried you to the hospital? This is the second time. My back isn't your private taxi. Thank goodness for JB. He drove us here. I called your mom
. Who are you to call my mom? - I also told Mr. Lee... / - Get out. Don't worry about me. You have Sin Haeseong. Didn't you hear me? Get out of here! He seemed concerned. You didn't have to... Hey. Nurse! Nurse! Over here! (Episode 9) This is awesome. So Rian is this month's most photogenic person. She's following right in Haeseong's footsteps. But look at her. I feel sorry for her. Don't you think this might end up affecting us as well? HershE's image will suffer. Why didn't you guys go with Ri
an? Mr. Lee never told us. There's no way Rian would go to that gig willingly. Is something going on? Should we look into how Rian ended up there? I bet Mr. Lee forced her. Rian's been uncooperative lately. Watch what you say. Let's just wait and see. Are you awake? How long have I been asleep? I didn't know teen idols snore and grind their teeth. - I snored? / - Yep. It's probably because I was sleep-deprived. I normally don't snore. I'm kidding. You slept like a baby. Your mom said that she wo
uld be here soon. Good grief. I don't look too sick, do I? Why does it matter? It's your mom. My mom's the biggest nagger in the world. - Rian. / - Hello. What are you doing here? Are you okay? Are you sick? It's no big deal. You didn't have to come all this way. I don't believe this. What did the doctor say? What's the matter with you? Hold your horses. One question at a time. What did the doctor say? I just need to rest. Oh my goodness. Look at how skinny you are. Have you been taking the vita
mins I got you? Have you been eating? You've been skipping meals again, haven't you? I told you to eat well and take it easy, didn't I? Mom, I got it. Let's get you to a hospital in Seoul. They said I was fine. Do as I say. I'll talk to Mr. Lee. You should stay at a hospital for a while to rest and recharge. I'll take care of everything. We've had it. I can't let Rian be a singer any longer. Please calm down, so we can discuss this misunderstanding. Rian passed out from shock. Wasn't it an accid
ent? An accident? Don't you know whose fault this is? Fine. If you want to make excuses, let's hear it. Go right ahead. Make excuses? Are you saying that it was my fault? Then whose fault was it? If we really get down to it, don't you think it's Rian's fault for not singing on stage? How could she sing at a venue like that? She had to go all the way there without a manager or a van. I asked you to get her gigs, not send her to the provinces for lousy town fairs. No matter how lousy the gig, sing
ers must deliver when they're on stage. It's not like a drunkard threw a bottle at her. It was just a soccer ball. She can't be a singer with that kind of attitude. She wanted to act. It was you who forced her to be a singer. You should let Rian focus on her acting from now on. Before anything else, get her out of that stupid audition. As overseer of the audition, may I offer my two cents? Pardon? Given Rian's current attitude, we'll be cutting her out of the audition ourselves. What did you say
? You seem to be mistaken. Without her singing career, Rian would have no hope of acting either. Is Rian okay? She just needs to rest. Did you come to Chungju to see me? Why did you come all this way? You may not know this, but at the open radio show taping, Rian sang your song. I know. I heard it on the radio. That's not what was supposed to happen, but it ended up like that. It's all my fault. You don't have to apologize. No one would've known about my song if not for you guys. What do you mea
n? You know, I know, and our classmates know. Everyone's waiting for you. You have to come back. Thanks for coming all this way, but I can't go back. No. I'm not going back. Haeseong. For me, music will always be a one-sided love affair. It's just something that I love by myself. Rian must be up. You should go back in. He's so good, isn't he? How can they be so bad? We're doomed. - What are you kids up to? / - Oh, hello. The theme of the mission is Rain, so we'll do his song "Rainism." We look j
ust like Rain, right? I didn't know that Rain was known for his jiggling belly moves. Are you mad at the world? Look at you chewing gum. How can you chew gum while dancing? What are you doing? Who's this? Our English teacher. English teacher? Come with me. They're so good. We're done for. The audition is right around the corner. It's not just the students' but also your responsibility to showcase the best possible performances. Please don't forget that. Meeting adjourned. Do you have something t
o say to me? It was a reckless decision on my part. Pardon? The playing field is uneven. How can we pit my students, who are pure amateurs, against established teen idols? Couldn't you give me just a tiny little hint on what you're looking for with this "Rain" mission? In a game of Go, the better player gives the worse player an advantage. So if you could give us a tiny bit of help, the competition would be fairer. - Fairer? / - Yes. Do athletes of different builds have different starting lines
at the Olympic marathon? Why are there rules? So that everyone competes under the same conditions. Is this how you've been teaching your kids so far? Have you taught them to whine and ask for special handicaps? I was just asking for a little hint... - Rain! That's the hint. / - Rain. What else do you want? Do you know the kind of people I consider the most pathetic? Those who don't put in hard work and try to find shortcuts. If you're good enough for the national finals, that's where you'll get
to. But you shouldn't insist on being in the Olympics. You did seem more driven than I thought you were cut out for. But cheating? Don't you have a sense of shame as an educator? You're the one who'll be humiliated at the end of the audition. There are some cases where drive and hard work are not enough. Teaching is ultimately the act of helping students realize their potential. But you won't get water by digging into dried-up earth, will you? You'll only end up with a ditch. Are you calling my
students a ditch? Then how about a hole? This just occurred to me. Doesn't Sin Haeseong, the girl who transferred, remind you of someone? Doesn't she remind you of this vocal teacher who can't sing? Someone born untalented, who only causes people grief. It's not too late to replace Sin Haeseong with someone else. All the more reason for me not to give up on Haeseong. She's already gone. Why would she come back? She will be back. She will definitely be back. Hello? Ms. Sin Haeseong? I'm Yenny of
Wonder Girls. If you're in Wonder Girls, then I'm in Girls' Generation. I told you not to answer my phone, didn't I? Huh? You must've thought it was a prank. I am Yenny of Wonder Girls. - Let me see that. / - I would like to put your song "Hello to Myself" on my solo album. Please call me back. It really was Yenny of Wonder Girls. I need her autograph. Let's call her back. Give it to me. Give it! That's strange. How did she know I wrote the song? Come on. Who cares how she found out? You're a pr
o songwriter, and that's all that matters. You've hit the big time! It really was Yenny. Wow. I have to brag to my friends. Let's call her back. - Songwriter? / - Come on. Have I really become a songwriter? Let me see that. Come on. Give it to me. We're late. We're late. Run. We're late again. You shouldn't be late for class. Get moving there. Jin Yujin, I need to talk to you. We're late. Run. Hurry up. Hey. Did you get to see Sin Haeseong? Is she coming back? I said we were waiting for her, so
she'll come before the audition. How can you be so sure? Sin Haeseong is madly in love with me. Sin Haeseong likes me. I know you know that. Love doesn't come just like that. You need innate inspiration... You need innate inspiration... and sensibility. Inborn talent and sensibility. You shouldn't just mimic whoever you think is cool. If you want to be in a relationship, do it right. You shouldn't just mimic whoever you think is cool. You, you... You... - Jang Uje! / - Do you remember now? I hin
ted it to you several times, but you're just so dense. It's great to see you. You've come a long way. It seems like just yesterday that you couldn't tune your guitar. You've really grown. I said I would have you on your knees within three years, didn't I? I came to this school to revel in my victory, but it's no fun because you're so pathetic now. Whatever. You're still a greenhorn in my eyes. Like I said, don't just mimic whoever you think is cool. We'll see who the greenhorn is at the upcoming
audition. Do take good care of your knees until then. One more thing. You're no longer up against the Jang Uje of three years ago. I'm JB now. It's not like I was hibernating for the last three years either. You look well-rested though. What? Stop running away. You can't live as your 10-year-old self forever. Come on, guys. You can't quit already. I'm going to look for a gig as a backup dancer. I'm going to try out for "Superstar K" again. They raised the prize money again. Ms. An, I might have
to transfer to another school like Haeseong. I knew this was how things would end up. Ms. An, I'm going to become a super idol. You already are a super idol. I mean, I'm going to prove that I deserve that title by winning at the audition. I will come in first place. I'll bring JB to his knees. What? You want to change it all, both the song and choreography? What are you thinking of? I think the theme "Rain" is a trick. A trick? There's no set answer. Listen to this. The word "rain" can mean a l
ot more than just the singer Rain. You want to create a story using ideas associated with rain? Like a musical. It'll be fun. This is suspicious. Are you suddenly trying to impress someone? What are you talking about? It's good to be motivated, but we don't have much time. We'll have to hurry if we're redoing the choreography and costumes. Don't worry. We'll show them what real pros can do. Yujin, what now? Ms. An, do you know this feeling? You fill out the answer sheet for a standardized test,
but you skipped one problem, so all the answers are misaligned. What do you mean? Don't you think it's too easy if the answer to the mission is a medley of Rain's hit songs? Individuality is what's most important in an audition. Cookie-cutter impersonations are guaranteed to fail. So what do you think is the right answer? I think the answer lies in the word "rain." That's why we're singing Rain's hit songs. Rain. Rain. The thing is, we need to stand out. We have to do something that's ours and o
urs only. That's why we're singing Rain's songs. No, we really need something better. We need individuality. I actually agree with Yujin. What is there to "rain" other than Rain? Hello. Hold on. Let me ask you something as your senior in the music industry. Why did you pick Jin Yujin as the first super idol? Oz Entertainment kids are already top idols. Unless we rock the boat, they'll be complacent. What do you mean? Are you saying you're merely using Yujin to motivate the Oz kids? Let's say he'
s a pacemaker. A pacemaker? A pacemaker supports, motivates, and shields a potential winner in an Olympic marathon. I know what a pacemaker is, but I doubt that Yujin volunteered to play that role. What we need is a superstar, someone who's irreplaceable, like Michael Jackson or Lady Gaga. Don't you think being a pacemaker for the creation of such a superstar is worthwhile? It's up to Yujin to decide whether that's worthwhile. What I want to say is, that kid is only 19 years old, but he's gone t
hrough a lot of pain and hardship. He's hurt and vulnerable, so... No one forced it on him. It was his own decision. And who knows? The pacemaker may end up winning the race. (Rain? White winter, winter rain...) Hello? Broadcasting station? Haeseong's there? Hello. I'm Sin Haeseong. Haeseong? Nice to meet you. You're very pretty. How did you know that the song was mine? Your homeroom teacher gave CDs of your song to all of us here at the broadcasting station. Ms. An? (Sin Haeseong, 010-578-6717)
Hi. Rian! Are you feeling better? - You look tired. / - I'm fine. I didn't think you would make it today. Thanks so much for coming. Even if I'm sick, I could never say no to you. - How have you been? / - Good. Ms. An, what are you doing? Shh. Be quiet. This is Haeseong's first radio broadcast. I can't miss a single word. The kids have a lot to thank you for. I don't think they know how many times you called the radio station. I didn't do much. Please keep it down. We have two special guests to
day. We recently introduced to you the song "Hello to Myself," and today, we have HershE's Rian and songwriter Ms. Sin Haeseong. - Welcome to the show. / - Hello. I'm Rian. Hello. I'm Sin Haeseong. I'm delighted to have you on the show. You two seem very close. Yes. Haeseong is the first friend I made after I transferred. She's my roommate at school. She's a really good friend. After it was first featured on our show "Hug the Radio," requests have been flooding in for your song, although it hasn
't been officially released. How do you feel? It feels like a dream. I never imagined I would hear my own song on the radio. At first, people thought that HershE's Rian wrote the song. Haeseong had to transfer schools due to personal reasons, so I took the stage instead of her. It was her last day at school, so I sang it as my farewell gift to her. I wanted the song to comfort her and give her strength to move on. So that's how it was. So Rian sang it for Haeseong to bid her farewell... She's su
ch a hypocrite. Acting like the song was hers. Farewell gift? Give me a break. I'm envious of your friendship. Did you know, Haeseong? She probably didn't. It was a surprise, so I told her about it after the show. Oh, really? Haeseong? Yes. That's right. I'm very grateful to Rian. Had it not been for her, my song wouldn't have become this well-known. You're so modest. No. I really mean it. I don't consider this to be my song per se. It was my friends who made this song possible. I may have writt
en it, but JB rearranged it, the Kirin band played it, and Rian sang it. If it hadn't been for my friends, this song would have just disappeared. I'm so thankful to my friends for breathing life into my song. When I first heard "Hello to Myself," it felt like the song was about me. What was your inspiration? There are many talented students at Kirin Art School. Compared to everyone else, I'm lacking in so many ways. I felt like the tortoise. I couldn't catch up with the hares, no matter how hard
I tried. I slept less and worked as hard as I could, but once I got to where I thought I should be, my classmates were way ahead. My hard work was futile. We were just born different. I was born a tortoise, while they were born hares. Like writing in a diary, I just expressed those frustrated feelings in song form. - Ms. An. / - Got it! Rain! Eureka! When I first started out as a singer, a famous songwriter said this to me. "Real music isn't made, but met." Met? Real talent is in meeting the ri
ght songs. As long as you keep up your passion, you will meet many more wonderful songs and friends. We should hear Haeseong's "Hello to Myself," right? Sure. Haeseong, may I have the honor of singing your song? - Pardon? / - I wanted your permission. I would love to hear you sing it. You have to let me listen to the next song you write. Pardon? I would like to make an album with your songs. Definitely. A single radio appearance doesn't make you a star. You may think you've made it, but no one w
ill remember you. Don't worry. I'm content with this because I've found my path. I won't wander anymore. Hi. I'm back. Welcome back. You just saw a show. You should pay up. But that's... Thanks. And thank you for coming back too. - Sin Haeseong. / - Congratulations. Congratulations. Congrats on your first radio appearance. You heard me on the radio? We all did. Who would have thought you would be the first to go pro? Thank you, Ms. An. I heard you gave CDs of my song to everyone at the radio sta
tion. You heard? I wanted to keep it a secret. Here. (Letter of Admission) - I can come back? / - My goodness. You're a hotshot songwriter. Kirin is where you belong. Ms. An. This is perfect timing. Exams are coming up. As always, we'll need copies of your class notes. We also need your list of potential exam questions. Without Sin Haeseong, Kirin can't function, right? I missed you so much. I'm never letting you go again. The key to the audition is "B." And it was Sin Haeseong who led me to thi
s idea. Thank you. Me? B? The letter B? Yep. B. Not A, but B. I get it. B, which can't become A. B-grade, which wants to become A-grade. Those who want to become the "b"est, but aren't there yet. - How about it? / - Wow. ♪ We are B, B, B-grade ♪ ♪ A-grade is what we want to be ♪ ♪ We're still only B, B, B-grade ♪ ♪ But we want to be the best ♪ ♪ We are B, B, B-grade ♪ ♪ A-grade is what we want to be ♪ ♪ We're still only B, B, B-grade ♪ ♪ But we want to be the best ♪ ♪ We are B, B, B-grade ♪ ♪ A-

There's nothing anyone can do for that girl. Don't you have a lost cause in your class as well? What are you talking about? What do you plan to do about Rian? I heard she's too sick to take part in the audition. A teen idol group is about looks, but the prettiest one is out. Students have questions, not answers. It's our job to help them
find the answers to their questions. I only just realized that. How long have you been there? Aren't you hungry? You were good. But the audition won't be easy. You won't be dressed like that for the audition, right? I'm comfortable in this. You need a dress and heels, not sweatpants and sneakers. You should train in less comfortable clothing. No way. How can I dance decked out like that? You can. I'll help you. It suits you. Very pretty. I feel a bit awkward. I learned this when I started out.
Be a pro on the outside, and you'll become one on the inside. Rehearsal should be like the show. Do what you did before. - What? Here? / - Yep. Here. This. You did well in rehearsal, so you'll do fine at the audition. Thanks for everything since yesterday. Just think of it as a gift from your very first fan. Why are you being so nice to me? We're not even on the same team. - That's because... / - Don't say you're my fan. About what you said at the church... Oh, that... If you're being nice becau
se you're worried I may have misinterpreted what you said, let it go. Don't worry. But it's not that I'm worried. This... I have to go to my rehearsal. I had better get going. Thanks again. He hasn't forgotten. What's your favorite flower? Rose? Baby's breath? Two yellow tulips. That's what I like. Roses and baby's breath are too bulky and unruly. - Wow. / - Whoa, great. Haeseong's not here, so there's more to go around. - This looks great. / - Bon appetit. - Let's dig in. / - This is awesome. W
ow. Let's eat away. This is so good. Sin Haeseong. Did you get a makeover? You look so pretty. Who talked you into it? Was it JB? No. Then who turned our little bear into a sexy fox? Plus, what time did you get back last night? I didn't see you when I woke up. Did you spend the night out? What? Night out? Are you insane? You were late for rehearsal too. You should practice, not date. All done. Found it. It's a present. Nine more pairs to go. I'll make my debut by the time I wear out nine more pa
irs. Do you still have the nine sneakers that I gave you? Sin Haeseong! Ta-da. I did it. Rian, I thought you were still at the hospital. You still had them. Do you remember what you said when you gave me the first one? You said it symbolized your hard work and passion. Did you really mean it? - Yeah. / - And now? What do you feel toward me? Do you like Sin Haeseong? I just want things to work out for her. I want to help her and cheer her on. I don't know yet if that means I like her. That's wors
e than if you had just told me you liked her. There's a winner and a loser in every competition. You will witness the winner rejoice and the loser lament today. After watching the performances, you will cast your votes. Your votes will determine the winner and the loser. The baseball legend Yogi Berra once said, "The game's not over until it's over." Ultimately, a game is not over until one side gives up. Even if there's only one out to go, and no matter how great the difference in scores, the g
ame's not over until it's over. There's always a chance for the losing team to come out on top. Whether you give up or pull off a miracle is up to you. The theme of today's audition is the one-syllable word "Rain," or "bi" in Korean. The key to this performance will be how creatively a team has interpreted the word. I'm sure it won't happen, but even if you make a mistake, don't worry about it. Winning isn't everything. Go out and have a great time like we did when we rehearsed. - Jin Yujin, don
't act all cool. / - What? I know how much you want to win, so don't pretend to be all cool. You know how proud I am of all of you, don't you? No matter what happens today, I'm proud and very thankful. You've put in lots of hard work already, so just enjoy today. Don't get scared or nervous. - Yes. / - Yes. Let's have a cheer. One, two, three. Let's do this! We are B, which cannot be A. We are B-grade, which cannot be A-grade. We are in the low-level class, branded as B-grade here at Kirin. It's
not just in our school that students are differentiated. In any school, there are good students and bad, students on an academic track and those on a vocational track. The names may be different, but there are As and Bs. I had left this school and only came back a few days ago. I ran away because I was ashamed I couldn't sing. This is what I would like to ask you. Should dreams be exclusively for talented people? Should those less talented not even dream? You have to close your eyes before you
can dream. And when you close your eyes, it no longer matters how other people look at you. It is only when you close your eyes that you can face the real you, not the person everyone says that you are. I say this to the real me I meet when I close my eyes. "Don't give up on your dream." That's because dreams are not for the talented, but for those who dare to dream. Like braving a storm with nothing but a small umbrella, we will now dare to dream big with the little we've got. This song is dedi
cated to all who agonize over their dreams, and to those who are told to give up on their dreams. This song is for all those who are branded as B-grade. One, two. One, two, three, four. ♪ I am a girl, just a girl ♪ ♪ No one notices me when I walk past ♪ ♪ Mediocre looks, mediocre standards ♪ ♪ I'm as plain as can be ♪ ♪ I am a boy, just a boy ♪ ♪ I'm just a boy among many other boys ♪ ♪ There's nothing special about me ♪ ♪ Nothing to make me stand out ♪ ♪ We are B, B, B-grade ♪ ♪ A-grade is what
