Dangerously Excited Page #4

Just saying because you keep

bringing up how Korea and Japan are.

The 'big trend'?

What do you mean by that?

On Internet, kids always talk

about what the 'big trend' is.

That's trend.

To live in this country, you need

to know the rules of the game.

Might not be the first,

but won't fail. Isn't it enough?

Always check what the big trends

are on the Internet.

If not, you'll be an outcast.

We watch them at work, too.

Soul? Don't need it.

It's all the same.

If you don't pay close attention,

you're out with one blow.

It's chilly.

If you're not on TV in Korea,

you don't exist.

If you work hard?

Maybe public television...

These days making the 'big trend'

doesn't need skills.

Has to be convincing to women.

Be it sweet, fancy, or funny.

What if we're not

interested in that?

If you're not?

Then anti-big trend?

You're taking a risk.

I don't see such a determination,

so just join the crowd.

I'm garbage. Not fit to step on roads

paved by Map district office.

Why?

I don't pay the taxes.

An excess human being.

You do pay.

Me?

You smoke?

One pack is $2.50.

Tax is $1.60.

What? $1.60?

You're too self-torturing.

Taxes don't mean just income tax.

Indirect tax rate is high in Korea.

You smoke too much.

It's okay.

He wants to do vocal.

He needs to smoke

to make those vocal cords

thick and ripe.

That's enough.

Let's look at it

from another angle.

A member with star-quality quit.

So you break up?

That happens all the time.

You don't know what to do,

so you quit.

Why? You feel insecure?

You're not even a civil worker.

Then should've never done this,

if you won't take a risk.

A civil worker like me

can only be conservative.

But what about you?

Then what shall we do?

Really?

Good question.

I don't know, either.

You guys make the choice.

I talked too much today.

I'm regretting it.

Wasn't he going overboard?

Not like he's our teacher.

I've been preached that a lot before.

True, but...

Hey, don't let him get to you.

I'm really worried about you.

I know what he is, too.

A western-rock mania

falling into toadyism.

But something gets me.

Are we really taking a risk?

Are we really better

than that guy?

Saku also asked me to quit.

Really? But you refused?

Wow, you're very loyal.

It's not loyalty.

It's just not fun for me.

Saku did the right choice.

We were just using her.

We knew that she didn't fit in.

I'm doing that delivery job again.

I better find a place.

Again? Then you'll only

have time on the weekends.

You can't do music

if you keep doing that.

Let's do what's urgent first,

and think about that later.

What?

Let's go out for

that contest next week.

Did you submit the application?

Why go out?

Contest title sounded weird.

Plus, it's all about connections.

It's for amateurs and losers,

so why should we go?

Why?

Afraid of the competition?

Can't do it unless you can be

a big star or be praised by critics?

They pick ten teams,

and give $3,000 to each team.

You win and

all you get is $3,000?

What good is that?

It'll only last for three months.

Do you have

$1,000 in your pocket?

I thought you won't accept

any allowances from your Dad?

So a few grand is nothing?

You'll go to the grave in style?

Why are you

getting on my case?

You refused to submit

for the Mapo Shrimp Festival too.

Why are you

bringing that up now?

You blew away

her deposit money.

You have any right to talk?

That's why your lyrics

are shallow and unemotional.

Let's do the contest.

We have nothing else to do.

Okay, fine.

Alright then.

Who's going to play the base?

Who's going to sing?

With only a week left, two songs?

What about the songs

made just for Saku?

We just go like this?

You think it's that easy?

I'll rewrite and arrange

some songs.

You just go write some lyrics.

We don't have much time.

Alright.

She said she's too busy

with work.

Woo-hyung has two Fs,

so he can't spare the time.

- It's only two songs.

- Young-dal?

He plays too fast.

We don't have a choice.

Should we go MR on the base?

Will judges accept that?

From a band?

We did put five band members

on the application.

But two quit,

so please understand?

All they need to do

is just stand there.

So did you all finish

your emergency meeting?

Oh, no! I'm late!

I have to go to work.

I'll be going now.

You kids are joking, right?

I've never played before.

You can do it.

It's really easy.

He said he's never played

an instrument before.

You expect someone who's never

played anything to do this?

Listen.

You can change the base part

to something easier.

You can beat

on the drums like this.

No, I can't.

You just have to stand there.

Just stand there?

Kids.

Go look for somebody else.

Try it just once.

I don't like music.

There was this Carlo Little.

Year 1965. The Rolling Stones

asked him to join.

He refused, telling them

that they have no future.

No future? They're the world's

longest running band.

It's easy.

Easy?

Easy...

Mr. Lee, how about a drink?

A friend of mine

suddenly wants to be in a band.

I couldn't bear telling him

that it was me.

Is he crazy?

He's out of his mind.

Isn't he too old to play with kids?

Crazy bastard!

This pisses me off!

Who is he?

Yeah, it's pretty crazy, right?

It's hard just to live.

Screw that band stuff.

But couldn't he do it

as a hobby?

Hobby?

Don't be such an amateur.

Hobbies are a 'big trend' now.

Big trend'?

Hobby is a 'big trend'?

For example, golf, wine,

so many wonderful things.

Wine is good for your

social life and health.

Gotta follow what rich people do.

We can't always drink cheap stuff.

The rich don't play in bands.

Why? It's no use for them.

Then why watch girl groups?

For eye candy?

If not, in order to talk

with kids?

That's right.

Girls' Generation's profits

in Japan is $2 million.

So that's why you like them?

Since they're an export business?

What's the matter with you?

You always watch TV.

- You said you like 2NE1?

- Of course. They're the best.

But, you see...

Damn, I missed the last train.

Gotta go.

But why would that matter to you?

Will you sit alone one night

watching girl groups?

...is what I wanted to say.

Ten years with my favorite TV celebs.

Ten years was enough with them.

Thanks for all those times.

It's not their faults.

Ten years is a lot for a short life.

There isn't much time,

so just with the basics.

Mi-La-Le-Sol.

Start with Mi.

Use this finger.

Hold it here with your thumb.

Like this?

You pluck it with two fingers.

But pluck it only once.

Okay, okay.

Famous base guitarists

Stanly Clark.

Jaco Pastorius.

Mi and Pa is a semitone.

Follow me?

Do you know what

a semitone and whole tone is?

Be honest.

- Yes, I know.

- Really?

I do.

When you didn't do it,

it was a Mi.

When you press this, it's Pa.

Try it. Play it, like this.

This becomes mute,

if you don't use strength.

Our Mapo district office is...

Slowly...

I keep playing Sol and Do only?
