Dangerously Excited Page #2

Shedding blood and tears.

Yeah, vampires like

shedding blood.

Come on.

I'm sorry,

but find another place.

Think it's easy finding

a practice room?

I told you we've received

many complaints.

This neighborhood got rich

because of people like us.

It's like they won the lottery.

Yeah, businesses in Hongdae area

are doing much better.

Young people come here

since it provides new culture.

So the businesses do well

and real estates boom.

These kids know a few things.

But people don't care

about such complicated things.

Our Mapo district office

tremendously supports indie bands.

Many cheap practice rooms out there,

so go practice in them.

We have a big gig coming up.

Not enough time to practice.

- Look for another place?

- That's what I'm saying.

So annoying.

Mr. Han.

Mr. Min?

I'm sorry to hear all this.

But there might be a place.

This is Mr. Min,

a real estate broker.

Why are prices falling?

What do you forecast?

Please be a little patient.

Buyers expect prices to fall,

but will give in because of

skyrocketing rent.

- But when?

- How long do you need it for?

The longer the better.

I have to live there.

How much are you paying now?

$5,000 down,

$400 a month.

No rent,

but just $10,000 up front.

That's a little high.

It's cheap

for this neighborhood.

You won't get a better deal.

The landlord is abroad,

so the upper room is vacant.

- There's this huge mirror there.

- It's perfect to block the sound.

Can I see it now?

Wait!

What about the other $5,000?

Did you know that

I studied filmmaking?

Really?

I wanted to be a movie director.

I have this thing for artists.

I'll accept $50 for a fee.

Hey, do you have $5,000?

There's no time.

You got to bet sometimes.

- Bet what?

- Where is it?

Follow me. It's near.

We just need to go up there.

Let's just go for now.

So we can move in right away?

We have to practice

for a gig next month.

Just go!

Don't get involved.

If it's for $10,000,

it sounds okay.

A few days later.

The students upstairs can't study

if this keeps up.

That's the landlord's fault.

That doesn't make sense.

The civil complaint...

The kids came for me 'cause...

You've won the lottery everyone.

You better do your best now.

Thank you.

I've also consulted

Mr. Han's business.

Even if you play Metallica here,

it'll sound like a ring tone outside.

Oh, you know Metallica!

Kiss, Rainbow, Ozzy...

That's a double steel door.

No sound will leak out.

Hello?

Where are the instruments?

All the instruments are gone!

The instruments disappeared,

as well as Mr. Min.

Then the real landlord appeared.

They worked all sorts of jobs, borrowed

and saved up money for that deposit.

The instruments cost them

$5,000,

so a total $15,000.

Really?

What a bastard.

Okay.

What did he say?

He fell into heavy debt due to

a bad deal and disappeared.

People are looking

all over for him.

Jesus!

You were supposed to check

the building's registration.

He said papers for new

buildings are done later.

You went ahead of yourself.

- That stuff is hard. I hate it.

- You're unbelievable.

You should've checked first.

I can't believe that guy.

He just ran away?

He left?

Mapo District Office

Hiking pants with

wind-breaking function

at $49.80?

It's expensive.

Today's horoscope.

Person I meet will be

one step ahead of me?

I better be careful.

Dae-hee.

Look outside.

My honest opinion on kids

who are musicians?

I know these kids well.

They live off of dreams.

When we fear a double dip,

a forex war, unemployment rate,

these kids only care about

their dreams and nothing else.

Will they understand

even if I explain?

It's a waste of my breath.

We know it's wrong to mess

with someone's eating.

Be patient.

I lose if I get excited.

Told you I don't know him.

I can't find him.

You seemed really close.

You should go to the police station.

This is the district office.

- You introduced him to us.

- Come on!

That wasn't an introduction.

And you should've checked

the registration.

Come on,

that's the basics.

And you were hooked

when he mentioned 'artists'.

God of misfortune must love us.

Why is it so hard to do music?

Doesn't a Mapo district officer

understand our situation well?

A bit. So what?

Then you could've

taken our side,

but you don't answer our calls.

Hold on a second.

Why do I have to do that?

I do feel sorry for you all,

but this is unreasonable.

- You introduced him to us.

- When?

Our fan club chief earned that money

cleaning cow manure in Australia.

And our drummer put up

all her savings.

So find him!

Watch out!

Chief Officer! Chief Officer!

I hate it when things get noisy.

Wow, he must be

the district chief!

Is that so?

How long do you need?

A month?

How about here?

Not there.

Move it over here.

How about the bed here?

They promised not to bother me

anymore if I lend them my basement.

- Be careful. This way.

- Bring me my cymbal.

Can I put all this in the corner?

Here.

Let's eat first.

Come eat with us.

Go ahead and eat.

Thank you, bro.

Don't call me bro.

We're known to be the nicest

in the Hongdae area.

Yeah, you look nice.

We practically begged

to get that.

This.

This is our first album which failed.

It only sold two-hundred.

It's a masterpiece.

Why don't you listen?

"The 3X3=9 Band"?

"Flunk" album?

I hate music.

Seniors exercising is okay.

But with an amp,

music and whistle?

I come in to rest for a bit,

but the noise gives me

a headache.

But the residents

do things on their own.

So what, huh?

I'll talk to the department in charge,

and take administrative action.

How about those kids?

Don't know. I don't care.

Be careful.

Damn it.

Hey!

Hey!

Look!

Look over here!

Sorry. Sorry.

Let's shift in the interlude

after the first verse.

What is it?

Your music sounds

louder than before.

The drum part wasn't finished then.

We'll be quieter.

- Well...

- So everything's okay?

The air here is really bad.

You should open

the window in here.

The music travels directly up

through the concrete.

People don't suffer just from broader

problems like the financial crisis.

A colleague from the Culture Dept.

came to me for cooperation.

She intends to draft a plan to

support bands around Hongdae.

Wait, I'll give you some advice.

Your Culture Dept. shouldn't do

such a useless thing.

People from other departments

don't like that.

If you get involved with them,

it'll only bring blame and torment.

Know Park in Sanitary Dept.?

One previously

at the Culture Dept.?

A few years ago, when Mr. Park

organized a rock festival,

all of a sudden, a typhoon came

and messed everything up.

District chief came for a speech,

and some punk kid went crazy.

Climbing up the state, the amp falling,

then taken to a hospital.

Our website was covered with

countless complaints.

Then he was demoted.

You think the kids were grateful?

Absolutely not!

They look down on district officers.
