Now that we're traveling to New York

- I am. New York is known for its pizza.
- Right. I can smell it right now.
- Me too.
(The pizza is here.)
- We have a table full of pizza.
- It's pizza.
- My gosh.
- On top of bread?
Goodness.
- It looks amazing.
- The pizza looks delicious.
- Hold on.
- Good grief.
Try it.

How delicious.
The cheese.

- Even the dough is chewy and tasty.
- Yes.
You sure are enjoying it.
- Are you releasing a song?
- This time round
It'll be released
when today's episode ends.
Really? Can we listen to it?
Yes, you can listen to it.
- I wrote the words.
- For real?
Yes. The song
was composed by a popular person.
- Seriously?
- Already?
- Will you appear on "Show! Music Core?"
- Gosh.
If the song gets a good response.
Cast me, MBC, my foot.
(Please listen to it a lot!)
(Finally entering the Cooper Project)
- Hey.
- What's going on? This kid.
- I'm doing good.
- He's from South Korea.
He's a famous artist from South Korea.
(The gang members appear from all sides.)
Yes.
(Slightly nervous)
- Yes, that was
- From last night.
(Nervously touring the neighborhood)
I appreciate it.
(A silent signal)
Hold on. What does that mean?
- Oh, no.
- Why?
I have to handle
I have a handle a business.
It's No, hey.
- Toox suddenly left.
- What?
Is he making a deal? Wait.
I appreciate it, my boy.
- Yes, that's legal.
- I didn't know him.
- He gave the guy something.
- Another satisfied customer
who bought a Toox shirt.
(I sold a T-shirt.)
He sold a T-shirt.
(I sold a T-shirt.)
- It was a direct deal.
- Is it like a secondhand marketplace?
It's something like that.
He sells merchandise
that has his name on it.
- Is Toox your brand?
- Yes, sir.
- Did you design it yourself? "Toox."
- Yes.
It needs hard work and dedication.
We have to walk all the way up.
I want to show the other side
of where we come from.
We have to show you
where my family is from.
Okay, thank you.
I'm going to take you
to the infamous 295 Jackson St.
- Oh, man.
- Right.
- That's the central hub of this project.
- Yes.
We're going to the place
they were born and raised in.
- You know, on family days,
- Yes.
- this is more like a courtyard.
- It's called The Circle.
Yes, this is called The Circle.
We used to hang around
in the apartment complex playground.
Right.
- Do you live here, Toox?
- I live here. My building is in the back.
There are so many more buildings
in the back.
We will all come here
and converge together.
Yes, we play games.
- I know.
- You know what I mean?
On every family day that we have.
(Laughing)
This is one of the spots where,
you know, we do fireworks.
We're not supposed to have fireworks,
but they light them off right there.
Light them off, and you can see them.
- What's that?
- They're setting off fireworks.
- That place is like Wolmido.
- "Wolmido?"
- Our cyphers go on right here.
- Cyphers right here?
- Yes.
- I see.
(A place to cypher and socialize)
- Yes. There are a lot of trees.
- Really?
There are a lot of trees,
so we get a lot of shade.
Yes, a lot of trees.
(Trees)
- Trees?
- He's cute.
Trees.
But we spend, you know, those benches?
That's our hangout spot.
So you sit on those benches
until 2 to 4
- in the morning.
- Right. Let's sit.
- "Right. Let's sit."
- The bench.
(He made a believable excuse and escaped.)
Where are you going?
This is where my family is from.
My aunt lives up here.
- I actually want you to meet her, maybe.
- Okay.
We can go in.
- I want to show you the inside.
- Yes.
Are we going to your aunt's house?
Yes. We're going to my aunt's house.
I just want to show you how
- He's giving you a tour of the inside?
- Gosh.
- He took you over there.
- I felt very grateful that
he invited me to his family's house.
- It's not an easy decision.
- Yes, and you're a stranger.
I like you. You're a cool guy.
Yes. I want to show you my family.
She's somebody who raised me
from when I was a baby
and showed me the way.
- She's a mom-like figure.
- I should greet her.
My family lives here.
I'm going to go in and check to make sure
they're okay.
- Good?
- Okay.
- He needed to get their consent first.
- Because of the cameras.
You're right.
(While he's getting the family's consent,)
(Kian84 looks around.)
This is an old building.
It would've been nice
if the hallway was a bit more spacious.
What a shame.
Those were built as apartments years ago.
There were many old buildings.
How do I act mindful in English?
- Excuse me.
- "Excuse me?" Okay.
Keep interpreting for me.
Properly. What's your job?
What?
I'm troubled.
(Walking out)
- Okay.
- Come in.
- Good.
- So they know.
He got their consent.
(Curious)
I was really curious.
- Hey.
- I asked him to come in.
- Okay.
- You can come in.
Hello.
- Excuse me. Hello.
- What's up? What's going on everyone?
She's his aunt.
- That's my auntie. Auntie Makohim.
- What's up?
- That's right.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- His aunt.
- Yes, she's my aunt.
- She's like his mom.
- Auntie, this is Kian84.
He's a famous South Korean actor,
artist, and everything.
"Actor?"
- They are all my little cousins.
- Cousins?
- Your cousins?
- Yes, my little cousins.
- What's your name?
- Keith.
- "Keith?"
- Keith.
- Keith.
- Zuraya.
- What's your name? Tell him.
- What's your name?
- Zuraya.
- Zuraya.
- How cute.
- Zuraya.
- "Zuraya?"
- Yes.
Zuraya.
(Nice to meet you, too.)
So this is my family.
- She's adorable.
- They raised me.
(Appearing)
Hello. Nice to meet you.
That's my uncle right there.
He's Uncle Bobo.
- Uncle Bobo.
- Hello.
Hello. Are you going to school?
Yes. These are all of my cute cousins.
Are you going to school?
(The family members appear one by one.)
- Do you like K-pop?
- What?
Do you like K-pop?
- Or hip-hop?
- I like K-pop.
- Really?
- Do you like K-pop?
- Which group do you like?
- BTS?
- Pizza?
- "Pizza."
K-pop group Pizza?
(Yes.)
Search for them, and they might exist.
On any given day,
- there could be a lot of people.
- Hello.
- How cute.
- Everyone comes to this house.
- They get comfortable.
- Do you like pizza?
(Nodding)
(I like pizza.)
Okay. Do you see my cousin in the back?
Are you hot there, my boy?
Are there more?
- He has a big family.
- He does.
His family kept showing up.
How many people are there in your family?
- Six.
- Six people?
Back in the day, it was 20.
(Back in the day, it was 20.)
Twenty people?
- Twenty people lived in that house?
- Yes, when he was young.
I have six kids
- and 22 grandkids.
- I see.
- She has 22 grandkids?
- Yes.
- Twenty-two.
- Two great-grandkids.
Even great-grandkids?
- How old are you?
- I'm 68.
- You're 68?
- She's 68.
I think you look like you're in your 50s.
(Stop it.)
- Fifties.
- I thought you meant five years old.
- A big family.
- A big family.
Sometimes we play cards.
Sometimes, you know, we have parties.
His aunt raised all of them.
- Yes.
- She's incredible. How admirable.
I treat my aunt with respect.
You know, like an older aunt.
People who have a lot of wisdom
and a lot to give.
I learned a lot from her.
I put in a lot of things
I learned from here
and a lot of the situations
that happened here in my music.
I put them in my hip-hop.
- This is your house of history.
- History.
- Your house of history.
- History.
- History.
- This is where history started.
My inspiration.
I thought the US revolved around
capitalism and individualism.
But they were very loving.
VSOP has lived here since he was little.
I could picture the story in my head.
It made me feel closer to him.
Rappers' lyrics are rough
- but many are about family.
- That's right.
Because of his family,
VSOP was able to come to his senses.
- He didn't go astray.
- Right.
I can still remember
the smell of the house.
- You can remember it?
- Yes, it smelled like my house in Ulsan.
- "Ulsan?"
- In Ulsan?
Yes, my mom's old house.
Hold on. I should give the kids
some pocket money.
- Gosh.
- I can't give much.
He's never cheap to kids.
I'll give them 20 dollars.
How much is that?
(Around 27,000 won)
Okay, 20 dollars each.
You're giving them 20 dollars each?
Wait.
Here's some pocket money.
(Opening his wallet
in the Ulsan-scented house)
- Allowance.
- "Allowance?"
Okay.
Say, "Thank you."
- Say, "Thank you."
- Did you thank me?
You don't want to? I'm sorry.
(Returning it)
I'm sorry.
(Throwing it)
What? What's wrong?
- Maybe he's shy.
- I think he's shy.
Okay. I'm sorry.
- You don't want it?
- This is an allowance from me.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Do you want some allowance? Okay.
- Thank you.
- Here, you too.
- Thank you.
(And again)
- I'm sorry.
- There's a tension between the two.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- "I'm sorry."
- I'm sorry.
- You aren't going to say thank you?
Oh, my. What's wrong?
(He apologized and gave him
the allowance with difficulty.)
Korea, where I'm from
He gave the allowance
but remained anxious.
In Korea, we say "Thank you."
Thank you.
- Sorry.
- He said, "Thank you."
Different culture.
- We are different.
- Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Okay. I'll leave.
I'll get going. Yes.
(Laughing awkwardly)
There's only one thing
that I can do.
Like when I was in Bolivia,
and when I met Porpi,
I gave allowance to the kids.
I did the same here.
(I gave them the allowance too.)
Maybe this is a cultural difference.
I'm not sure.
- I don't know why he suddenly cried.
- He was a bright kid.
Did his pride get hurt?
I was very worried.
I might've made a mistake
because of the cultural differences.
I might have.
(Feeling sad)
Is it impolite to give allowance
in the US?
In Korea, we give allowance to the kids.
That's the same thing they do.
That's what I do.
I don't give the big ones. I give them.
- Same culture.
- Same. Yes.
I feel sorry seeing him cry.
- So shall we go now?
- Yes.
Did I give him too little?
- I think so too.
- Right?
You only gave him 20 dollars
and asked him to say, "Thank you."
I should've given him 100 dollars.
- You have good chemistry with kids.
- Yes.
(Feeling absurd)
- Bye.
- Bye.
Handsome.
- Yes, you too.
- Yes.
It's heartwarming.
All right, bye. All right, aunt.
I'll call you all later.
Korean family is very small.
- Small?
- Korean family is small.
Many people don't get married.
No babies.
- No?
- Yes, Koreans.
My goodness. So you don't want any babies?
- I want.
- In the future.
I want a family.
- I want a son.
- I see.
So you have
You are a successful artist.
- Yes.
- This
I know that
the girls will be all over you.
(Smirking)
Right?
- I look so happy.
- You don't deny it.
- You don't deny it.
- He's not wrong.
Right. You're a successful artist.
(A successful artist)
How are you liking the city so far?
Is it fun?
Here?
My first day was a little scary and
- Scary?
- Yes.
He felt unfamiliar.
But now it feels friendly.
Yes, family is very heart.
You know, the thing about it is
That's how we felt growing up.
- When you go outside, it's scary.
- Yes.
- Outside?
- So we got to create an environment
- that's friendly.
- Yes.
- So when we come home,
- Yes.
we're not scared.
If you go wherever else, it is scary.
It's safer to be in a group.
Is this the Cooper Family?
- Yes.
- Yes.
I'm a Cooper Family too.
- Of course!
- You.
You're a Cooper Family now.
Come on. You just took the toll.
You're a Cooper now.
- I won't be able to cross there now.
- Come on, now.
- Gosh, you're a Cooper Family now.
- It's a family.
VSOP, I'll attack this village.
If I get attacked and call you,
will you come here?
- Yes, please!
- Yes.
- Please!
- Thank you.
- Every time.
- He feels safe now.
- Oh, my.
- Good.
- Blood alliance.
- Always.
I should call myself as Cooper84.
Cooper84.
- So we'll drive and go out.
- Oh, my.
He could get in the front.
If you want, you can sit in the front.
- Thank you.
- All right.
Is this okay with you?
- I'm just putting the AC on.
- But you should
(Yes.)
I'll drive you
and take you to the studio with me.
- Gosh, you're going to the studio.
- He wants to take me to the studio.
(Excited)
(He was invited
to his music studio last night.)
- There's New York music.
- New York music?
- Hip-hop studio.
- Even I haven't been there.
(Connecting Bluetooth)
Bluetooth.
This one is supposed to be down.
This one is supposed to be up.
I got lint on my hair.
Gosh, he's detailed.
- This is me and Bing.
- For real?
- For real?
- Me and Bing Nation.
- They
- Oh, gosh.
- They're all musicians.
- made this music.
One, two, three!
(He starts singing
while he is fixing his hair.)
I feel like I'm looking at my friends.
- At the light, turn left.
- Came along the way
The navigation joined too.
(Cooper Family is getting excited.)
Their life is all about music.
(Cooper84 is still shy.)
(Enjoy.)
(Starts dancing)
(Singing)
(Cooper84 is excited.)
I wanted to sing together,
but I didn't know the lyrics.
At the light, turn right.
- Turn right.
- On to Nothern Avenue.
(He participates in featuring
as he gets excited.)
This song is nice.
In half a mile
(Fully immersed)
(He's recording.)
(It's nothing special, but they're excited
and they burst into laughter.)
- Yes, I can do that.
- This is nice!
- I can do that.
- Bing Nation.
- Thank you.
- Some say he can't sing.
He can say, "That's me."
All set!
- Toox.
- That's me. Yes, sir.
(Toox's song,
who's full of energy and joy)
I recognize his voice.
(Impressed)
Me!
(Joyful Toox raps very well.)
He's good.
Me!
(He sang along "Me!")
- He said, "Me!"
- Me!
It's better.
Me?
Me!
Like that.
- Nice!
- What you said?
Appreciate you.
- Single mother.
- "Single mother."
(Laughing)
(He learns another vocabulary
after getting praised.)
- Yes.
- No.
I like this part.
(Rolling stone)
Roll roll rolling
(Rolling stone)
He never gets tired.
- He never.
- He's an energizer.
(Cooper84 got thirsty
after saying a few words.)
(Toox is still performing
even though he should be thirsty.)
(Glancing)
(He was born to be a singer.)
(Toox is excited alone
when the audience is silent.)
- VSOP looks tired too.
- It's sad.
Yes, he didn't react.
(His energy is too much
to be covered by their friendship.)
(He's fully immersed.)
He's fully immersed.
(Laughing)
(His head hurts.)
Tooxo.
(His name is Toox.)
Yes!
(He's about to fall asleep
after losing all his energy.)
Angle from the side,
angle from the bottom side, I mean
Listen you explain that to him
(There must've been a funny triangle.)
(Rubbing his eyes)
My stomach hurts.
I was
trying to listen with attention
to get closer to them.
Toox
doesn't need a cypher.
He does cypher every day.
He's doing it already.
He keeps talking when no one listens.
(He's still talking.)
(Please kill me.)
"Please kill me."
Your destination is on your right.
- In half a mile
- Bobobo!
(They arrived at the studio
before dying of his energy.)
(How will the hip-hop studio
at Brooklyn look like?)
Nice to meet you.
(He enters the studio.)
He's entering the studio!
She's so tall.
Be at the other side.
(Toox enters while dancing.)
(Producer)
(The aspiring singer finds
the music studio fascinating.)
- This is a legit music studio.
- My goodness.
Let me try to record it.
Let me see how it sounds.
He's recording right now.
(VSOP is recording a guide for his song.)
VSOP is going to show him.
(He starts recording.)
(The aspiring singer is following
the rhythm.)
(Toox is again excited.)
(He became a maestro again.)
I thought he was being quiet,
but his body was making a noise.
Because he couldn't speak while recording,
- so he danced instead.
- I see.
(Dancing)
(Dancing)
(The song finished.)
There's a doll that dances
only when the music is played.
(He's like a doll.)
(Monitoring the recording)
So what I was thinking was
finish all the frames
and then do the second
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
The second flow.
Separately.
So say, "Can I take you home with me."
And then literally just two tracks.
They're seriously discussing music
without joking around.
I saw it in cypher but when he raps,
he's different. He's really good.
He's not trying to do hip-hop.
His life itself is hip-hop.
(Their lives are hip-hop.)
See. So what happens is sometimes
If you're at a studio session,
you get a brain cramp.
- So you have a brain cramp,
- Yes.
throw some beats on,
and you start bouncing ideas
back and forth.
- In freestyle?
- Yes!
Yes, freestyle.
Cypher is
usual as if it's like drinking Americano.
(Toox starts rapping first
as he can speak now.)
He's writing something.
He's writing.
(He writes the lyrics
thinking of the last two days in the US.)
- Rapper84.
- He doesn't get afraid anymore.
- What do you think?
- Me?
What do you think when your head hurts?
What I think?
- One, two, three, four.
- One, two, three, four.
(I went to Central Park.)
He wrote the lyrics in English.
(There are no toilets in Central Park.)
(No toilet!)
(I was sick.)
I was sick.
(For a long time)
(I ran and ran.)
He didn't poop his pants.
(I struggled to find a toilet.)
(But this studio)
(have a good toilet.)
(Laughing)
The toilet was nice.
(He already checked the toilet.)
There we go! Just like that!
(I gave allowance to the kids.)
(But he was sulky. Why did he cry?)
(Gosh. I'm still thinking about it.)
(I gave them 20 dollars each fairly.)
(But she)
(cried!)
There's a story.
(She cried!)
But she was a he. That's a boy.
- He.
- It was a boy.
Oh, he was a boy?
(He's a boy.)
(Don't cry, girl.)
(Grow up strong.)
Now you picked the flow.
You've got to give me some.
- Yes.
- I like the way you picked the flow.
Yes, I'm a follower.
Yes, I felt it.
I really felt it.
- One, two, three, four.
- One, two, three, four.
Okay. Let's get it.
- Okay.
- Yes.
(Supporting)
(Simon Dominic, I'm in Brooklyn
and not The Bronx.)
Is it me, again?
Video letter rap.
(He suddenly starts rapping
as if he's sending a video letter.)
(Simon Dominic, look at this
when I go back to Korea.)
(I'm now)
(doing real hip-hop.)
(I'm doing real hip-hop here.)
Oh, man. That's it.
Oh, finally!
Why did I do that?
Show us!
(Muscles)
(Muscles)
(Muscles, hip-hop, yes!)
(Lifting weights)
- I should go to the gym.
- Nice.
He's playing around with the rhythm.
We're not done.
I'm so happy.
I'm very happy.
- Yes. It was great.
- Us too.
You touched our hearts.
- The viewers must be crying.
- Seriously.
You never said my name during
the awards ceremony but you call me now.
(He missed out only Simon Dominic's name
during the awards ceremony.)
(But Simon Dominic is Kian84's old wife.)
(He was his darling.)
(His heart is fluttering.)
I'm touched.
This is real.
All right. So we can get out of here
and enjoy a party.
- What time?
- Six o'clock.
- Six?
- Six.
(While they were touring
the neighborhood,)
(he invited his acquaintances to a party.)
(He invited Kian84 to the party too.)
(We're going to have music,)
(and the kids will be dancing.)
(It's a family party.)
- In front of the electric wires.
- Okay.
- See you at six.
- Yes.
"In front of the electric wires."
The location for the meeting is unusual.
"See you in front of the electric wires."
There are Jordan electric wires,
- and Adidas electric wires.
- I see.
Later, there will be a family party.
I asked around and apparently
people buy cakes for the party.
Just now, I went with nothing.
My goodness. It looks like a vintage cake.
This one and
one each
for everything.
These two more.
Yes.
- Can I write a sign for you?
- Well, sign
- Please write Cooper.
- Cooper.
Yes.
I'm not sure of the spelling.
- Cooper.
- Cooper.
- It's O.
- Just Cooper?
Yes. Double O.
Cooper Family.
Thank you.
He bought a lot. His hands are full.
(He got out after buying a lot of things.)
(What?)
They're having a party.
Are they having a party too?
It was their Independence Day.
I'll go to the party now.
Gosh, this is heavy.
I need more hands.
(Heading to the party venue
with two full hands and excitement)
Cooper Community. This is the right place.
(Their meeting point is
in front of the electric wires.)
Cooper park houses.
It's in front of the condominium.
(He arrived at the Cooper Project.)
Is it there?
(Music can be heard from far too.)
This is
- Hello!
- My man!
- Hello!
- "My man."
Toox!
- He brought gifts?
- Toox.
- Listen.
- Yes.
So what you're seeing is
the combination of community events.
- Community? This here?
- Yes.
So we're just out here. Kicking it!
- This is nice.
- Sit.
Is this the Cooper block neighborhood?
Yes.
(In the free-spirited environment)
They look free.
(he also becomes joyful.)
(Barbeque is grilling.)
- Barbeque.
- Yes, barbeque.
- My goodness.
- Oh, my.
- They're dancing too.
- So cute.
The party that Kian84 got invited to
is called Block Party.
On special days, an outdoor party is
held by blocking off vehicle traffic
in a specific block of the neighborhood.
This event is said to enhance
the sense of community
and strengthen the bonds among residents.
This block party,
which features activities like barbecue,
fireworks, rap, DJing, and dancing,
is said to have had a significant impact
on the development of hip-hop.
It's Piggy.
It's a town festival.
Thank you for inviting me.
Thank you for coming back, man.
I'm thankful.
This is a cake.
- These are cupcakes.
- He brought
cookies.
(Ta-da)
My goodness. The cake. Cooper.
Cooper Family Love.
- Cooper Family Love.
- It's not the correct spelling.
- Is it wrong?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Did I spell it wrong?
Oh, no.
(The staff helped to write the letters.)
He wrote it.
It's missing with another O.
- Oh, another O.
- He wrote Coper instead of Cooper.
It's okay. They understood.
It's okay.
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
(Having a toast
with the forgiving Cooper Family)
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
- The US is known for using red cups.
- Yes.
- It looks fun.
- They gave me whiskey.
- Is it whiskey?
- Yes.
(Roaring)
(Screaming)
Toox loved it.
(Screaming)
- Right here.
- Yes.
- You know.
- The heart.
This is hip-hop.
(You're right.)
Toox needs to visit Korea one day.
He'll win the Best Rookie Award.
- My goodness.
- I envy him.
Catching the vibe.
Kian84, I want to show you everybody.
- I want you to meet them.
- Yes.
Come right here. This is Lans.
Yes. Nice to meet you.
He's my cousin. My older cousin.
You look like Snoop Dogg.
- He looks like Snoop Dogg.
- He looks the same.
- Yes.
- Okay. So look.
This is my cousin Jessica.
Is it your cousin?
- She's shy.
- Nice to meet you.
- Oh, you are shy!
- She's shy.
Look at my mom.
Mama.
- Hello. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
My name is Kian84.
VSOP SITY
She's like Michelle Obama.
(Her smile looks kind
like Michelle Obama.)
He's an artist from South Korea.
(Impressed)
VSOP is a fantastic artist.
- A fantastic rapper.
- Yes.
- That's my mom.
- I'm proud of him.
Mama.
I'm proud of him.
He loves his family very much.
- Yes.
- He loves his family very much.
- Yes.
- He is but not me.
Why?
- She's tough.
- I'm tough.
She's tough. She's crazy.
Why do you say she's crazy?
No, I'm not crazy.
She's not crazy. She's tough.
That was a spicy comment.
(They even make spicy jokes
to each other.)
Mother, have something to eat.
Drink and eat food.
- She doesn't drink.
- I don't drink.
- I don't drink.
- You don't drink?
- No alcohol.
- Yes.
Do you want cookies, bread, or
- Nice.
- Yes.
- You bought them well.
- Nice.
Which one is yours?
What's your favorite cookie?
- This is the children's.
- This is for the kids?
- Yes. Kids.
- Man. Is it?
Yes. I should give them to the kids.
- Over there.
- Come here.
- Do you have an extra bag to put this in?
- Cookie.
I'm like the guy
in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
(Cookies)
Why is he so cute?
(They're all interested
in sweet Charlie84.)
Cookie?
(Cookie?)
Why are the children so cute?
(Excited)
Goodness.
Why does it feel like I'm in Madagascar?
- Goodness.
- Becky?
It felt like Madagascar.
(Charlie84 adds sweetness.)
Cookie.
- Do you want some?
- How cute.
- How cute.
- She looks cool.
Cry
- Who was it?
- Who was the crybaby?
(While giving out allowance at aunt's)
(You should say thank you.)
(Shaking)
(No thank you.)
(You only gave 20 dollars.)
(Feeling sorry)
(The kid who cried for an unknown reason)
- Crying kid.
- He's a good adult who apologizes.
Is it her?
- Do you want some cookies?
- Cookies?
Do you want some cookies?
Take one.
(She's not the crying kid.)
Why are you apologizing
to her?
Just one.
(He delivered the apology
to the wrong person.)
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- While giving out the cookie.
I'm sorry about today.
(It happens.)
I was worried most about you
because you cried. I thought I did wrong.
(Something isn't right.)
What is he doing?
Crying kid?
(No)
This is crazy.
It wasn't you?
- What is he talking about?
- You almost made another kid cry.
It's him.
It's him.
- Cookie.
- Come here.
- Cookie.
- I remembered him.
Do you want a cookie?
- Have a nice day.
- Do you want a cookie?
Good. You did a good job.
(He eats the cookie and cooly leaves.)
But
He could have said bye.
(Tagging along)
You shouldn't take them all.
Just eat that one.
I guess she liked it.
(The cookies are popular.)
If I knew,
I would have given him cookies
instead of 20 dollars.
He looks happier than when
he received the allowance money.
That's right.
I'm sorry, Zuraya.
I'm sorry about today.
- He sincerely apologized again.
- He's looking at him.
(He makes a sincere apology
in a sweet way.)
(He returns lightly after making
the apology.)
(Well done)
(Cheers)
Thank you.
- This one.
- Thank you.
(They keep taking care of him.)
As me how it went today.
How nice.
- I think you were drunk in the mood.
- It must have been nice.
Remember when I told you
my mom doesn't drink?
She's in remission from cancer.
She had cancer.
- His mother?
- His mother was sick.
She's fully recovered?
So she doesn't drink anymore.
That's a big relief.
Good.
- Thank you, Mama.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
VSOP SITY's mother came
as well as the children
in the aunt's house.
It was like a family event.
(The block party was like
a fun family event.)
It was like I was invited for a holiday.
The way they lived was similar to us
in that way.
Do you have such parties often?
On special occasions.
Like tomorrow is the fourth.
- Fourth of July. It gets crazy.
- It goes crazy.
Holidays. Everybody.
Every holiday?
As much as possible.
It's like a feast in Korea.
On the traditional holidays.
They play basketball games.
The kids race and run around.
I see.
(Like playing tag
on our traditional holidays)
(They fiercely run around
in Brooklyn traditional holidays.)
That's right.
They run around outside.
(He finds something.)
They're playing poker.
There.
- They're playing poker.
- They're playing poker too.
It's similar. It's the same.
Brooklyn is the same as here.
- People live in similar ways.
- Right.
Do you want to learn how to play cards?
Cards? No.
- He said no.
- No.
(Are you scared?)
They look like pro gamers.
Yes. All of them.
They're gamblers.
They each have money
(Do you want to see my skills?)
- A gambler.
- She's good.
(He's impressed.)
No. I'll be ripped off.
He said I will not play with you.
(Disappointed)
That's too funny.
They would have had a better time
because you came.
That's right. It's so nice.
- Here.
- Yes, sir.
Right there.
(Stop)
You don't drink so well, do you?
- You drink only a little?
- What?
(He's annoyed.)
The Korean says you don't drink much.
I can't even See this.
(Shaking)
(Is he sobering up?)
He has lots of talents.
Breathe out and then take the drink.
You have no idea.
Toox doesn't stop talking.
I can't reply to him.
The way you talk is like a cypher.
The way you talk is like a cypher.
Your talking is like a cypher.
- You're ready for the cypher?
- Yes.
You're ready for the cypher?
(Shall we start a real cypher?)
There will be another cypher.
(He proposes to start a cypher.)
You're ready for another cypher?
Do you want to do this right now?
- Right now?
- Will that be right now?
Move around
There it goes again.
It starts right away.
Speaking of the K, be on top of the K
(The rap comes out immediately
like a spinal reflex.)
What do you mean?
(Mumbling)
Mother took it next?
- Mother.
- Eminem.
(It's my turn!)
(Aunt Poker also joins the cypher.)
- She just goes for it.
- It's so hip.
Listen. Hip-hop is a way of life.
- Gosh.
- It's a culture.
All your family can rap freestyle.
- It's real.
- It's life.
Hip-hop is more than music.
The cypher started then.
The aunt suddenly went on
as she was playing poker.
It was like the mothers' nagging
or expression of hardships.
It was different from the root.
Even in Yeoju, the old ladies curse.
It's just that there is no beat.
It's strong.
- If they had the beat
- That's right.
I was wondering when you'd mention it.
I think it's a way of expressing hardship.
You vomit things out
and make a virtuous cycle.
(Maybe hip-hop is about vomiting words
that were inside you.)
It's my turn.
Okay.
Yes.
- Again.
- He's a cypher machine.
- He's a rapping machine.
- Spit it out.
(There is no lyrics note this time!)
(What will he express
in his real freestyle rap?)
And he goes.
(What will he express
in his real freestyle rap?)
I came to Cooper family's dinner
And as expected, today's dinner
Is unbelievable
Goodness. He's talking.
He understood.
It would be nice if we did this
on Korean traditional holidays too
That's good.
I don't want to go home on holidays
Mom
I don't have a girl. I can't get married
Don't ask me what I do
(Don't ask me what I do these days)
Don't ask me about having a kid either
Don't ask me about getting married
Don't ask me about getting a job
I will live the way I want
Don't nag, just give me allowance money
It's a bad son rap.
Seolnal, Chuseok, don't nag, give me money
- Yes.
- Gosh.
Keep the money
"Keep the money."
"Give me money."
(Conclusion: Keep your money well
on traditional holidays)
(Like I did)
- Keep the money?
- He turned it around.
(Here comes "Keep the money")
Listen. Give him a round of applause.
Give my boy a round of applause.
You don't clap
for yourself. Do you?
He didn't just blabber. There was a story.
He improved a lot
over a short period of time.
You played me.
You made me teach you how to rap,
but you already knew how to do it.
You already knew how to do it.
What is he saying?
It's a coming-of-age movie.
- Yes.
- Give me that.
You don't learn a flow like that
in two hours.
I don't know
if this is a cypher or a conversation.
The border is disappearing.
The border between cyphers
and conversations disappears
Beat change.
It's warm in here.
What's Aunt doing?
Look.
They're dancing.
(The whole world is hip-hop.)
It's a party.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I feel like he's going to rap
while hosting the event.
It's the dance battle of the year!
(Let's go!)
(Let's start shaking it.)
Even the kids.
Goodness.
(They approach the stage one by one.)
(Slowly approaching)
Okay!
What Simon said
the last time actually happened.
Toox hosts the event,
and people start break-dancing.
That's right.
Men and women of all ages participate.
Gosh.
(Dancer84 has to join them.)
Show us, Dancer84.
- K-pop.
- Let's go.
Here he goes.
He's here to take over Brooklyn.
Teach them a lesson.
(Come on.)
(Did you want me?)
(Dancing with an auntie
he asked without thinking)
(Another auntie joins him.)
Auntie.
They're in the front and back.
He's surrounded.
(The Korean nephew receives lots of love.)
Stay healthy, Auntie.
You must go through a lot
trying to raise your nephews.
Well done.
- Hey!
- Mother.
- Hey!
- Okay.
Congratulations
on your full recovery, Mother.
He's wishing them good luck.
- Let's go!
- Yes!
Here it comes.
"Go away, diseases."
(Touched by his dance
of showing filial love)
I'll show you. You've got to do it.
She's VSOP's younger cousin.
(The cousin teaches him how to dance
to show appreciation.)
- Ready? That's it.
- Okay.
He did that back in India.
(Grooving to the rhythm)
- All right.
- He's got the groove right.
What
You said that you were shy.
You're not shy at all.
That's it!
(The same person)
Ready? Hey!
Five, six, rolling down!
Kian84!
- Hey!
- Yes!
- Kian84!
- Cooper Family!
Family!
- He mixes in really well.
- Yes.
- Kian84!
- Cooper!
- Kian84!
- Cooper!
- Cooper!
- Kian84!
Cooper!
Cooper Family!
As a fan of hip-hop,
it's like a dream
to actually join a block party
for a project.
- You have my respect.
- Yes.
Nice.
(Thanking the family members
for helping him fulfill his dream)
Mother, congratulations
on your full recovery.
Don't ever come back,
you filthy cancer!
Do not come to her!
(The son is touched.)
Go away!
Go away, cancer!
This is crazy.
You said a lot of good stuff.
Cooper Family!
Hey!
I wish you great success, guys.
(Wishing them well)
Stay healthy
Cooper Family
That's good.
They must have loved you.
And he rolled it down.
- He did it?
- Yes, he did his own thing.
He rolled it down.
And then, he popped it out.
- You'd have to be close after that.
- It's fascinating.
We're going to break this off, man.
Get over here, K.
Okay. A cutting ceremony.
We're going to have
We're going to give it a nice cut.
- Right here.
- Right about here.
(Cutting it together
with their hands put together)
- Cooper Family.
- Absolutely.
- My guy.
- Yes.
I'm Cooper Family?
We're going to cut this,
so everybody gets a piece of cake.
I'm not going to hold you up.
I don't care if we have the
- Wait. Is he crying?
- Because he called you family?
- Were you crying?
- I got slightly emotional.
In fact, back in Korea,
I'm very careful, and I usually hide away.
And I get to freely be myself here.
(I can freely be myself here.)
I completely understand.
As far as Here,
we don't glorify celebrities.
Because you'd be family.
- We love everybody.
- Seriously?
That's so touching.
- I'm serious!
- Do you mean that?
- Okay. Thank you.
- That's what we wanted to show you here.
Absolutely.
It's so wholesome.
I would have gotten emotional too.
- Don't cry.
- You're good.
I don't cry.
- I don't cry.
- Give him love.
- I don't cry.
- There you have it.
Men don't cry.
- "Men don't cry!"
- Men don't cry.
- Last shot.
- Last one? Come on. We still got more.
We're going to toast
to my boy's new music career.
- We taught you the essence of hip-hop.
- Okay.
We brought you to Brooklyn.
Hip-hop and Brooklyn is
honestly synonymous.
What we did today was literally
the day in the life
of a hip-hop artist in Brooklyn.
Come on.
It's a connection
that you'll never forget your whole life.
Cooper Family, I mean.
You already know that you're now
a family in Brooklyn.
- Okay.
- Brooklyn, baby.
- Brooklyn!
- Brooklyn!
How did he have a shirt
that said Brooklyn too?
Gwacheon!
- "Gwacheon."
- Seoul!
- Brooklyn.
- Yes!
- I threw them away.
- That's so harsh.
I mean
- Sorry, Gwacheon and Seoul.
- It's in his heart!
- I'll leave Yeoju, at least.
- We love that.
It's my father's hometown, after all.
He left Yeoju in his heart.
(I can't throw away Yeoju.)
If I'm ever in New York
and get into a fight,
I'm calling you.
He's going to call them
if he gets into a fight!
- Yes!
- We've got your back.
How trustworthy.
If I run into a problem in New York,
I'll say,
"You don't know the Cooper Family?"
- Yes. We're pulling up!
- Call us.
- Okay. I'm a gangster!
- You're family now.
- "Gangster."
- I'm a gangster.
They've actually become one.
Be careful with that.
You know what being a gangster is, right?
It's taking care of your family
and doing the right thing
for your community.
That's what a gangster is.
I care very much about my mother.
My mother and my family.
There you go.
That's what makes you a gangster.
He has his approval.
- He's Gangster84 now.
- Exactly.
- Gangster.
- That's what a gangster is.
I'm going.
Don't cry.
- Gosh.
- He doesn't want to go.
All right, brother.
- I wish you good luck.
- Thank you.
- Good luck.
- Good luck.
Mother, stay healthy.
He pronounced that weirdly.
See you in my next life!
"My next life?"
His next life?
(That's like announcing
never to see each other again.)
"See you in my next life?"
I called them family and told them
that we'd meet in the next life.
"See you in my next life."
I'm sure they understood.
That was so funny.
I hope so.
See you in my next life!
- Yes.
- Bye!
It's a short trip,
and we're running out of time.
I'm so grateful
for helping me feel a sense of belonging,
but I also felt so shameless.
They were born
and raised there,
and they let me join their family
only after one day of experiencing it.
I felt shameless,
but also thankful for telling me that.
They must also cherish that moment.
They meant it because you meant it.
Exactly.
(The Cooper Family was sincere
only because Kian84 was sincere.)
They've shown me their actual lives,
and I thank them for that.
I can still remember
the smell of their sofa
when I went to their place.
Those little moments had zero sloppiness.
It was the essence of life.
It was real hip-hop.
Their life itself was hip-hop.
(Real hip-hop was living
the life of hip-hop.)
Hip-hop was their life.
(The Cooper Family showed him
what true hip-hop was.)
- Kian84, we appreciate you for even
- What?
- understanding the world of hip-hop.
- They even interviewed them.
- A video letter.
- You came here
on your own and decided to get
the real groundwork.
- So, we really appreciate it.
- They're thanking you.
Always practice, always write,
show humility, and show grace.
Don't focus on anyone else.
Focus on your craft.
So, Ki, thank you for coming out.
Thank you for coming to be a part
of what we have going on.
Thank you for even stepping foot
in the cypher, having the courage to rap.
That's big.
There aren't a lot of people
- that live in the States
- That's insane.
that have the confidence enough
to do what you did.
So, shoutout to you.
You've got my full support.
From VSOP SITY.
You already know what it is.
Shoutout to Ki.
Yes.
"Ki."
You wouldn't have had this connection
if you hadn't taken the courage
- to start rapping.
- I had no idea they did that.
- If he hadn't
- That's true.
- I'm so thankful.
- Right?
I had no idea.
- It's touching.
- Yes.
You should say something to him back.
- A reply.
- Thank you.
Thank you. How are you?
VSOP, Bing Nation, and Toox,
always stay healthy.
I hope you keep making music that you love
and live a life
of protecting your family.
I sincerely support you.
I wish you good luck.
Goodness. That was wholesome.
Yes. It moves my heart.
I feel like I should go to Brooklyn
on national holidays now.
- That's going to take a long time.
- I'm in trouble now.
- You need to visit every one of them.
- Yes.
I'd feel safe coming to Brooklyn now.
For I am the Cooper Family.
Cooper, thank you.
(Thank you, family!)
I should buy some water.
Brooklyn.
Cooper Family.
It was so loud and crowded, and then
Mother.
(The family members still linger
in his mind.)
The lingering feeling won't fade.
He's still thinking about them.
(He arrives at a supermarket
with lingering feelings.)
Every time,
I'm thankful, and I feel shameless.
I felt sorry
for becoming their family and leaving.
It was so short.
What a shame.
(Buying a bottle of water
to console himself)
I'll just buy water.
(Buying a bottle of water
to console himself)
- That will be 1.67 dollars.
- It's 1.67 dollars.
Could you ring this up for me too?
Thank you.
For both of us.
(Okay.)
- He's
- No way.
(Who popped up and surprised Kian84?)
- He was paying, and
- What is this?
(Yoo Teo)
(He made a surprise appearance.)
How did he show up like that?
You scared me.
(An actor born in Korea
and raised in Germany)
(The global star
that captivated the whole world)
- He's so good-looking.
- So cool.
- He's sexy.
- Totally.
(Hi)
(And a man of youthful innocence)
(But a little whimsical at the same time)
- Teo is finally here.
- Finally.
- Hi!
- He's here.
Nice to meet you.
That's their first encounter, right?
We just met, and we have to fight.
(Their first encounter caught him
off guard.)
(Panting)
(Screaming)
You said I was going there to make music.
(Breathing heavily)
(First encounters are always hard.)
As soon as they met
(Panting)
- Nice to meet you, Teo.
- What's that?
- Nice to meet you.
- Sure.
- You can drop the honorifics.
- Can I?
- Sure.
- Is it American culture?
Of course.
You had lived in New York, right?
Yes. I lived there for about seven years.
(Teo had lived in New York for 7 years.)
I've always had people tell me
that I was different.
Like, "You're weird."
I'm the same.
They said that my blood type was AB,
I was whimsical,
- Right.
- and I was a little strange.
I never got along with other people.
I usually hung out by myself
- or
- You hung out by yourself?
Yes.
(The two have a lot in common.)
That's pretty honest.
They must be on the same page.
What do you think about me?
- I feel comfortable.
- Do you?
Yes. Because you're your own man.
Okay. So, I'll just say it
without worries.
- All right.
- Sure. I'd like that.
(What do you want to tell me?)
You look a little stupid.
Yes, I get that a lot.
(Nonchalant)
(How will the trip
of the two lookalikes be?)
I can't wait to watch their trip.
(And at Incheon International Airport
not long after)
So, it starts when I receive this?
- Kian84.
- It's the beginning of Teo TV.
I hope the trip inspires me,
and we inspire each other
as we spend time together.
I'll see you there.
(From Incheon to New York)
I've arrived in New York.
(Teo arrives in New York.)
Coming to the US,
it makes me nervous.
To save money,
I'll take the subway.
(He frugally arrives in Brooklyn.)
(The younger one was enjoying
the wild block party.)
Oh, he arrived at that time.
(The younger one was enjoying
the wild block party.)
(And the older one had
a wild party by himself.)
(Kian84 entered the supermarket,)
(and he snuck in right after.)
Oh, that's when you came.
Could you ring this up for me too?
Thank you.
It was so dramatic.
(That's how Teo made a surprise entrance.)
Come on, Teo.
First, give me the money.
"Give me the money."
- Let's get out of here.
- Okay.
When did you get here?
I just got here today.
Was it when you texted me earlier?
Yes, I was already here.
- Gosh.
- Oh, my.
Let's get going.
- I'll take that.
- That's fine.
(They head back to the dorm as it's late.)
I've always wanted to run in Central Park.
- Have you visited Central Park?
- Yes.
But I didn't get to see most of it.
Just a little.
Excuse me.
Can I have one more person
stay in my room for a day?
- Okay.
- Yes.
That's going to be another 74.36 dollars.
Okay.
He's confident.
Seventy-four.
(Thinking)
(Paying with confidence)
That's 50 dollars.
That's 50?
I gave him 50 dollars.
(He gave himself a discount.)
So, I can give you 75, right?
(Teo pays the rest.)
Why did I hear 45?
The trip is going to be far easier,
thanks to Teo.
He's almost a local, so
- Thank you.
- Okay. Thanks.
Thank you.
(He safely checks in,
thanks to the reliable brother.)
- This is small.
- Celebration? Welcome.
(He meant to say, "Welcome.")
You can use this bed.
- No, I'll take this one.
- Come on.
- No, I want this one.
- No.
I like corners.
(He lets the younger one
have the larger bed.)
What have you been up to?
I thought about bringing an instrument
to this place,
so I brought a guitar.
- Where's the guitar?
- In the bag.
- It's an assembly guitar kit.
- Okay.
I'll show you.
(He carried the assembly guitar
on his back.)
It's been 3 to 4 years
since I last touched the guitar.
I bought an assembling one.
I've never seen an assembling one before.
You said that it had been three years
since you last played it.
I'll be actually mad
if you're good at playing it.
I have a feeling you'll be good.
Have you played it for a long time?
I've been playing it a little
since I was a teenager.
- Then
- Occasionally.
You're practically a musician.
The most basic chords.
(Grinning)
He can even play the guitar well?
(Playing it smoothly)
He said it's been three years, but
(He's this good
when his skills have gotten rusty.)
You're already pretty good.
You have an enthusiasm for music.
Yes, a little.
(He's an actor,
but he's also serious about music.)
(He can dance, and)
(Delicious.)
What's wrong with me?
This is going to be richer.
(An all-rounder
who also has boyish charms)
You should have been there.
You should have joined the Cooper Family.
(He feels bad that Teo couldn't join him.)
Do you like to run?
- I want to run with you.
- Okay.
It costs money to go to a gym,
so let's work out at Central Park.
- At Central Park,
- I'd like that.
we'll lightly jog.
Is there anything you want to do?
You know New York well.
You're a New Yorker.
It's going to be so crowded tomorrow
because it's the Fourth of July.
- That's a national holiday, right?
- Yes.
I'll follow the plan
that you have in mind tomorrow.
- Okay.
- You should get some rest, then.
Sure.
Did you attend an art school in New York?
Yes. It was an acting school.
You've heard of method acting, right?
People often talk about it.
So, I got the chance to go to that hotel.
Have you seen that movie?
That led to another occasion,
and I went to Japan.
Blues is music that contains resentment.
It's music for cartoonists.
That's what I want to say.
Their conversation keeps going!
I listened to his whole life story
that night.
It was like a whole epic.
We talked for over an hour before bed.
Strangely enough,
we connected well in conversation.
This is fun.
I've always wanted to spend time
like this.
I've never
communicated this well
with other people before.
It's interesting
that we're connecting so well.
It's over
once you have good communication.
Our trip is going to be
a whole lot more interesting.
- Right.
- I can't wait.
I'm excited.
(The morning of Independence Day
dawns in New York.)
Independence Day.
I feel like there are going to be
so many events.
(It's vigorous in the streets of Brooklyn
on a holiday.)
That's New York.
It's starting to look like New York.
(People taking a walk)
Look at all those puppies.
- Did you sleep well?
- Did you?
I slept like a baby.
My body feels heavy.
(Arms)
(Teo stretches thoroughly.)
(Soles)
Is that a foam roller?
He uses that for an hour every morning.
(How does Kian84, the marathoner,
prepare for it?)
Goodness.
(Wearing the socks and clothes)
(that he wore yesterday)
(So cool)
Shall we get going?
- Let's go.
- Yes.
It feels pretty good to go for a run
in the morning. I'm excited.
Let's go slowly.
Do you usually run a lot?
He said all his joints wore out
for playing basketball for so long.
Because he played so hard.
(Kian84 answers for Teo
as he knows him well.)
(Their first event)
(A healthy run in New York)
A lot of people dream
of running in New York.
Running in foreign countries is
pretty cool.
Along the walls with graffiti
(The dreamlike run in Brooklyn
even has the perfect background.)
- Good.
- Good?
Good.
There's the park.
It's the park.
(Their destination is
right in front of them.)
Let's get our heart rate up
by getting to the playground.
- Okay. Sprint?
- In 1, 2, 3.
They're sprinting.
(The last spurt)
All right. Get your heart rate up.
Pick up the pace.
Kian84 is a marathoner, after all.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(They sprint)
(and finish the morning run.)
(Soaking wet)
(Taking his socks off)
Is there water?
(Where is he drawn to?)
(The fountain in the playground)
- It was summer
- He turned into a child.
in New York at the time.
(Going in)
What's he doing?
(Surprised)
(Gargling)
(Gulping)
What did you
(He swallowed it.)
Is it okay to drink that water?
It's like Arisu in Seoul.
That's refreshing.
This is great.
Why are there two Kian84s?
So refreshing.
(Groaning)
- What?
- Goodness!
- What is he doing?
- It's a b-boy.
How did he do that?
(Falling)
(Rolling)
What is he doing?
It's yoga.
I learned how to do yoga in India.
On this filthy ground?
(Filth doesn't bother me.)
- Standing on your head?
- That's what I learned. It was tough.
(He takes a deep breath.)
I'm supposed to take my feet off.
Be careful!
- Goodness.
- They're off.
(Yoga84 has done it.)
Okay.
(Hydrating again)
That's Teo81.
He said it was filthy.
(But you said the ground was filthy.)
I wanted to try it out
since he was doing it.
You two are the same.
I'm scared to straighten my legs.
(They both showed off their yoga skills.)
(They finished the morning workout.)
They're even sitting the same way.
I think I've had enough.
- Is that enough?
- Yes.
Where else should we go in New York?
I want to check out
the Empire Steak Building too.
- The Empire State Building.
- The Empire State Building.
The instrument shops are on 14th Street,
so we'll think about where to go
after getting inspiration there.
(His nose is running.)
Everyone said that you were so jacked
when I told them I was going with you.
(Getting it for him)
(Oh, my)
I actually felt burdened to help Kian84
experience things.
I've experienced New York
more than him.
There's Tompkins Square Park in Manhattan,
and there are a lot of artists.
There was a famous music store
- that's been around since the 1960s.
- I love that.
I heard that many well-known musicians
frequented the place.
He put a lot of effort
into helping you be inspired.
Let's go to the instrument shop first.
Yes, let's do that.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
(To the instrument store
for musical inspiration)
That was a perfect workout.
(They return to the dorm to wash up.)
(Sweaty)
Gosh.
He's so thick.
(He takes a refreshing shower first.)
(After freshening up,)
That feels good.
(they head to the instrument store.)
Let's get going.
It's ten in the morning?
It's hot.
- Hold on. We should take the subway.
- Yes.
- It's right nearby.
- Is it?
It said it was seven minutes away.
(He's gotten used to these streets
in 3 days now.)
An American subway station.
(Arriving at the American subway station)
(Sitting right next to Teo)
You look relaxed.
I felt reassured to have him there.
Man, I'm tired.
- Are you tired?
- I'll take a short nap.
- Sure.
- I'm sorry.
Maybe he worked out too hard.
(Checking if he's still alive)
(Taking a deep nap
next to the trustworthy brother)
(Bored)
(Looking over)
(I'm not lonely as long as I have Teo TV.)
- He's quite playful.
- He has fun by himself.
(While Teo is doing cute tricks,
Kian84 is sound asleep.)
- Goodness.
- He's deep asleep.
(They took the subway
for about 40 minutes.)
You had to cross the bridge.
All right!
(Arriving with a warm welcome)
Let's go.
(They climb up for a while.)
- Gosh.
- There. There's 34th Street.
- Look. Awesome.
- The Empire State Building.
- The Empire State Building.
- The Empire State Building?
(You can clearly see the skyscraper
from a distance.)
(The most well-known landmark in New York)
(Where the Empire State Building is)
Now, that's New York.
Located at the very center of New York,
Manhattan is known as the heart
of New York
and serves as the world's hub
for economy and culture.
It is home of the world-renowned
tourist attractions such as Times Square,
the Empire State Building,
and Central Park,
making it the most familiar area
for most travelers
visiting New York.
Bampari Steak Building.
"Steak Building."
He always says, "Steak."
It also feels different here.
Yes, it's called the West Village.
- It's an area for artists.
- Artists.
Since the 1960s,
blues and folk musicians
have emerged in that area.
It's a paradise for artists.
And the music store Here it is.
"Music Inn?" Is that an employee?
What?
There are many musicians
busking in front of the store.
(I see.)
Isn't that the place that's on the poster
of Music Adventure by Accident?
- Yes, that's the one.
- Yes.
That looks good.
Shall we go in?
(What's this place
that looks mysterious from the entrance?)
It'd be nice just to look around.
(Amazed)
(Thousands of instruments)
That's nice.
(Musical instruments
from all over the world)
That's fascinating.
(And collections of vinyl records)
(A place marked by the passage of time
since 1958)
It shows you the history of music.
(The younger one can't take his eyes off.)
(The older one is proud.)
I love that.
- Hi.
- Hello.
We're here to check out your store
because we heard
so many wonderful things about it.
- Welcome.
- Yes? Thank you.
Were there a lot of famous musicians
that came to visit?
John Lennon.
- John Lennon of the Beatles? Here?
- Yes.
Many times.
(The legendary musician, John Lennon)
- And Bob Dylan.
- Bob Dylan? Here?
Many times.
(And the king of folk, Bob Dylan)
It's like a shrine.
Paul Simon.
- Paul Simon.
- Paul Simon?
Paul Simon was a member
of a famous band
called Simon and Garfunkel.
I know Simon Dominic.
(All I know is Simon Dominic.)
(My pal, Simon Dominic)
- Your love for Simon.
- Kian84.
I love you.
To me, Simon Dominic is the best.
I love you.
What kind of instrument
are you looking for?
We're looking for something for him,
and he doesn't know
what he wants to play yet.
I thought I should buy
a small instrument while I was there.
- Right.
- Just one.
- There should be good energy too.
- Right.
What did you play in the past?
I played the castanets.
- Castanets.
- Castanets?
Castanets and the triangle.
- The triangle?
- Yes.
- The ones we played in school.
- The recorder.
- Recorder?
- Recorder.
They're what we played back in
middle school and elementary school.
- I see
- Is there anything else?
Right.
That's a tough assignment for the owner.
How about the kalimba?
- Kalimba?
- Kalimba?
- Where is the kalimba?
- It's downstairs.
- Downstairs? Okay.
- Downstairs?
- They must be a basement.
- It's huge.
(They go to the basement floor,
looking for the instrument.)
- Gosh.
- Look.
They have congas and bongos too.
There were so many instruments
that I had never seen before.
(The basement is also filled
with instruments from all over the world.)
Oh, that's the kalimba.
Kalimba!
(I see!)
- Do you want to try it?
- Yes.
(Dinging)
Kalimba?
- It sounds mysterious.
- Yes.
Let's check out other instruments too.
- They had that too?
- What is it?
- My love, the toad.
- What is it?
The toad is known
to bring you luck and wealth.
What is it?
Toad, look after me.
(The toad-shaped percussion was
his favorite.)
Apparently, scratching its back
brings you luck.
Really?
- I love this.
- Do you?
- Yes.
- You could use that for sound effects.
(He's being cautious
before making a final decision to buy.)
What the store owner told me was
exactly right.
I think I should buy this one.
(He finally buys the kalimba
that the owner recommended.)
For my boy Pani Bottle
I will buy the 75-dollar one
for you as well.
That was for Pani Bottle.
It's also a type of drum.
Who's the child you play with?
(He pays for the instruments
he carefully chose.)
It's 150 dollars in total.
Yes, I got it.
- It's 150 dollars.
- Yes, it's 150 dollars.
(The kalimba: 75 dollars,
The paper drum: 75 dollars)
- Thank you, Jeff.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Jeff.
- Thanks.
- It was very nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- It was very nice to meet you.
- Oh, yes.
Good luck in your life.
Let's go, Teo!
(Thanks to Teo, he got his instrument!)
Pani Bottle will love this, right?
Yes, for sure.
I usually don't look for details
before purchasing those things
and don't search either.
Without him,
I wouldn't have bought such things.
It's really like the "Music Adventure."
(The New York Brothers hit
the road again.)
(Where should we go?)
What about going to Times Square?
I've never been there before.
I never thought
I would see Times Square in this show.
I had never thought of that day's plan
- apart from visiting the music shop.
- Seriously?
He's never been there before,
He meant it.
so I thought it was a good idea.
- Yes, it's worth visiting at least once.
- Why not?
We had a quality time,
so I will take the lead.
Whatever is okay with me.
I usually don't like being a tourist,
but today
He finally goes to a tourist place!
He's kind of twitching now.
(Twitching)
Have you been here a few times before?
I've lived here for seven years
- but only came here twice.
- You mean in the whole period?
(Staring)
I see something rotating over there!
(It's a typical tourist spot in New York
full of splendor.)
I'd be goggle-eyed if I were there.
- Times Square!
- I now feel like they are in New York.
They are literally
in the center of Times Square.
- We are surrounded by advertisements!
- You're right.
Whatever ads you imagine, there were more.
(Fancy ads cover Kian84.)
(Let me see.)
(It's the best tourist spot
in New York)
(where so many tourists come.)
(He's not interested.)
(Hey, you think the same?)
(You too?)
I think we've seen enough.
- It's not that fun, isn't it?
- No, it's not fun at all.
The two are very similar.
I knew you wouldn't like it much.
- You wanted to go there.
- I did.
(Feeling awkward)
It was not enjoyable
as we've seen it so many times on TV.
You're right.
I just knew what was waiting for us.
I felt the same way too.
Because of you, Times Square,
I won't go to the Empire State Building
and the Statue of Liberty either.
It's all your fault, Times Square.
(He's just being grumpy
about Times Square.)
Let's go back to our hometown.
- Do you mean Brooklyn?
- Yes.
- I got it.
- It has become his hometown now.
This city took a lot of energy out of me.
We arrived in Brooklyn again.
This is the smell of the USA.
- We are finally in the USA again.
- People here are
- I also smell the true humanity here.
- Right.
Their facial expressions have changed.
I can finally take a breath.
Times Square, that kind of place
for celebrities, doesn't fit me.
Including the famous building,
the Empire State Building.
Full of snobs.
He said "full of snobs."
That made me angry.
(You're surely my brother.)
What's that?
(Startled)
(The sudden mysterious sound
made them startled.)
- Are they alright?
- Was there an accident?
(Getting serious)
- Oh, my gosh!
- Was it a gunshot?
(Almost panicked)
- It was a fireworks display. It's okay.
- It scared me.
- Gosh.
- Please.
(He swallowed nervously.)
Are you seriously a New Yorker?
He was scared the most.
- Gosh.
- Oh, my.
(No one around there was scared
like them.)
Surely, it's my hometown.
The entire city vibe reminds me
- of that in Wolmido.
- He said Wolmido.
It's the same fireworks display
in Wolmido.
- I was so scared.
- You too?
What would you like for lunch?
How about rice menus around here?
- Are you not up for ramyeon?
- That's good.
- We can buy some groceries in the market.
- Then
- That's cool.
- I got it.
A Korean supermarket!
(They came the supermarket
they visited yesterday.)
They even sell tteokbokki.
- There is kimchi too.
- Oh, there's kimchi!
Korean products are really in now.
There are different types of ramyeon!
This is good!
I feel so good seeing all of these.
They all look so yummy.
Take some rest in the room.
I will cook for you.
(Kian84 prepares the meal for Teo.)
(First, he opens all the ingredients.)
Okay.
(Onions)
(Ramyeon powder)
Spicy!
- Is that meat broth?
- I added a lot because it was too spicy.
(Is he going well without me?)
(He's fully focused,
not recognizing Teo's coming.)
It looks yummy.
(He's doing well.)
- What are you doing?
- Why?
- Oh, I didn't know you came.
- What are you doing?
(The roasted chicken is
directly put in the pot.)
I'm cooking.
Do you put chickens in ramyeon?
It's just a leg.
Because it was originally a chicken dish.
(This was originally a chicken dish.)
Teo, just count on me!
- Don't say you want some more later.
- "More?"
He just trusts him now.
Take some rest, please.
(He's full of confidence.)
He has a lot to say
but keeps silent for now.
(He just smiles.)
(The amount of topping is increasing
as Teo's doubt.)
I also added kimchi
to make the greasy taste away.
He adds a lot.
(He starts adding noodles too.)
(He even adds bunches of cilantro.)
- Did you wash it in water?
- Of course, I did.
This will be enough for now.
(Full of cilantro)
It looks so good.
I will put it here.
(Kian84's special ramyeon is complete.)
It's cilantro-kimchi ramyeon.
It has become like fried noodles.
(It's cilantro, chicken, onions, chili,
and kimchi ramyeon.)
- Thank you for the treat.
- Sure.
(Kian84 takes a bunch
of ramyeon noodles)
(and tries it first.)
(Impressed)
- Is this really what I cooked?
- Does it taste good?
(Teo tries it too.)
We need to focus on his reaction.
(How is it, Teo?)
It tastes good.
(It's good!)
(He feels relieved.)
My mouth is watering again.
(They are having a good meal time
together.)
I feel good as you like my dish.
Among all the dishes I had in the USA,
- this is the best.
- I agree.
(They are fully trenched in ramyeon.)
Why did I wear white clothing?
- The soup splashed in all directions.
- It all splashed?
But dirty clothing has been
somewhat attractive recently.
Is that so?
(Sorry?)
(To maintain his popularity,
his clothing is dirty again today.)
- If you are done,
- Yes?
go upstairs and take a shower.
And get some sleep.
I will clean things here.
- Seriously?
- Yes, I will.
- I'm going upstairs, then.
- Sure, please.
Get some rest.
It's time to take over the role.
It's better to wash the dishes
immediately.
For sure.
(As Teo took care of doing the dishes,
he came back to the room.)
The ramyeon was amazing!
(He takes off his clothing right away.)
(Slapping)
I have a lot of belly fat.
(He's fighting against his belly fat.)
(Go inside, my belly!)
(But the belly never gives in.)
(Sighing)
What's he doing?
(He's squeezing his belly
to make a six-pack.)
(Yes, this is it!)
(Feeling satisfied, he lies down.)
(My precious six-pack)
(He does the last step to squeeze.)
(One, two)
(Here, he also goes
for 1 and 2 movements.)
They have a lot in common.
(You're surely my brother.)
It's done!
(He finished doing the dishes
while exercising.)
(He's very proud of what he's done.)
(It's done.)
The meal was very good.
It was amazing.
It was so good!
Why did I do that?
(He even shows his teeth, feeling good.)
So fresh and so clean!
You don't remember what you did, then.
- I don't remember that.
- He doesn't!
It was good!
(The clean Teo comes back.)
- You liked the ramyeon?
- It was so good.
What a relief!
Let's go!
(It's time
to enjoy the nightlife of New York.)
Gosh.
So, it's time
- to go and watch the metal performance.
- "Metal?"
- "Metal?"
- "Metal?"
It's heavy metal in English.
"Heavy metal."
- You know them?
- It's my favorite musician.
I like metal!
Oh, that's pretty cool. It's in Brooklyn.
- Oh, they showed that.
- Yes.
- It's a metal band.
- I see.
You should go see them
if you're interested.
(I'm also a fan of metal!)
I've never seen a performance
of a heavy metal band.
It's my first time as well.
- We will see what heavy metal is.
- He will feel the energy of the metal.
- Gosh.
- Oh, my.
That looks good!
- Goodness.
- That looks good!
There's another party.
(Laughing)
Everyone is enjoying a party here.
(Just like Cooper Family's Block Party)
They're having parties
even in the sunlight.
It's because that date was
the Independence Day.
That burst up again, right?
Yes, it did.
Why do they burst so often?
I guess they burst them on purpose
because it's summer.
- On purpose?
- I'm not sure.
(The hydrant is open
in summer in reality.)
My goodness.
They can open it.
It's a Water Bomb in New York.
It feels refreshing to look at it.
(With the water from the hydrant,)
(people cool off.)
Look at those cars stopping
to be bathed in water.
That's cute.
They pass it by like it's a car wash.
It's a free car wash.
(The New York brothers
approach the Water Bomb.)
The water pressure is quite strong.
I guess it would hurt.
(Ouch)
(The strong pressure makes Teo run away.)
(Kian84 isn't scared and strides ahead.)
(It feels just right.)
Here I go.
(Screaming)
(He sticks his head out.)
I really wanted to do that.
(Flat-faced)
The pressure is too strong.
- It's too strong.
- Goodness.
It almost blew my head away.
As I pushed my face ahead,
it felt like
a straight right punch hit me.
"A straight right punch".
It woke me up.
Kian84 is a different man
whenever he sees water.
I heard that I like water
because I have earth in my fortune.
I guess that's why we have good chemistry.
I like going to the mountains because
I have a lot of water in my fortune.
- Do you?
- They say I need to find water.
Goodness, their fortunes are related.
- Is that true, Teo?
- Yes.
I hope it works out with the two of you.
- I hope so too.
- What are you saying?
You two look good together.
That's awesome.
(The block party is in full swing.)
Every block is having a party.
(You should join us.)
(But I'm Cooper Family.)
Look at Teo.
(Rapper 84 is loyal.)
(Teo's dance has so much soul.)
- Look at his foot moves.
- Teo is proud of his dance.
(The New York brothers
have good chemistry.)
(Come here, Bro.)
That's awesome.
- Shall we join them?
- Shall we?
(They decide to go where the music is.)
What family are they?
- "What family are they?"
- I know.
- "I'm Cooper Family."
- Yes, Cooper Family.
- Hey, how is it going?
- Come on, Bro.
What's up? You're in New York, man.
They're Latin American.
It feels different from Cooper block.
It's a Latin American block.
- It's a Latin American block.
- That's right.
It's amazing. Every block consists of
different races and countries.
- Do you know how to dance?
- Do you know how to dance?
- Do you know how to dance?
- Do you know how to dance?
- Dance?
- Come on.
Excuse me.
(A dance ceremony right away)
Cooper, I'm sorry.
He says sorry to the Cooper Family.
- Let's go.
- Yes.
(I'm dancing too.)
(A full-fledged dance party)
(He gets Cooper Family
out of his head for the moment)
(and focuses on dancing with the lady.)
I felt I was a traitor.
They're just neighborhood residents
having a meal outside, of course.
Still, I felt like, "I shouldn't do this."
(However, he can't stop shaking his body.)
(Pleased)
- Come on!
- Come here!
His dance moves are relaxed.
(An excellent turn)
He's leading the lady.
(In fact, this dancer)
What's that?
- Wait.
- That's
- Oh, my gosh. Where did you get this?
- Wait.
- Were you a dancer, Teo?
- Wait a minute.
- That's
- What's that?
(A stylish wave)
- What's that?
- Oh, my goodness.
He's a good dancer.
Isn't that Park Jin Young?
The video has a lasting impression.
- Him doing this.
- I know. Seung Hoon, you're good.
- You're good, Seung Hoon.
- Nice!
Gosh, come on.
Did you learn how to dance?
Did you train yourself to be an idol?
Although I lived in Germany,
most of my friends were immigrants,
and I grew up in a hip-hop culture
from America.
You absorbed it naturally.
Yes, and I was a breakdancer
among my friends.
(The former breakdancer)
(is still alive.)
(He adapts to the rhythm quickly.)
His groove is distinguished.
That's very nice.
(Dancing enthusiastically)
Do like this!
(The former breakdancer
is good at Latin dance too.)
They all fell for Teo's charm.
(What do you think about my dance?)
(All right)
(Each of them is lost in dancing.)
Gosh, my eyes are burning.
The smoke is burning my eyes.
The meat is burning!
- They're busy dancing.
- The meat is burning!
(The burnt smell fills the air.)
Flip the meat!
- Flip the meat!
- They're busy dancing.
(It's all right.)
Flip the meat. It's burning.
Is it okay that you flip the meat?
No one was doing it.
He's like a part-timer
in a barbecue restaurant.
Who's in charge of the meat?
(You're in charge.)
It's burning.
(Smiling)
This is fire!
- You know about that, right? Steak.
- Yes, steak.
- It's in a good shape.
- Yes.
I knew what it was, but it was burning.
- "I knew what it was."
- It looks like LA-style ribs.
(The pride of the whiz kid of English
is hurt.)
Everyone is happy
that you're grilling the meat.
They don't know the meat is burning
since they're busy dancing.
Teo, but I can't stay here long.
- Is it too loud for you?
- It's because I have my family.
This is betraying the Cooper Family.
He's building walls.
(Cooper84 suddenly came to his senses.)
- Bye!
- Happy Fourth of July.
Have a good day!
- Two minutes.
- Two minutes?
Everybody back to here,
it's all your people.
- A lot of people are here.
- People?
What's the people's group name?
Everybody's group right here.
- Right at this building
- This building and this building.
They're just residents from this street.
The neighbors gathered together.
They don't have a name for the group.
(Do you want to dance?)
(Let's dance!)
He's excited.
(Excited)
(The gang member is antsy.)
(The dancer wouldn't stop.)
- Nice.
- Do you want to stay?
Nice meeting you. I'm going.
Cooper Family will be upset
if they see me here.
I should leave right now.
He's loyal.
(The gang member is very loyal.)
I guess Teo feels comfortable there.
He's so into it.
(The independent dancer
is absorbed in dancing.)
I guess they have a gathering
to enjoy Independence Day.
They definitely have Latin blood.
They're completely different
from Cooper Family Kian84 met yesterday.
Their sentiment resonates with me more.
In the past, I was always related to
Latin American people
who immigrated to America.
Every morning, Puerto Rican immigrants
played Latin American
hip-hop music loudly,
and I used to greet my neighbors.
I got close to them
as I greeted them every day.
I love the feeling of being
in the neighborhood
and the family.
I felt it again this time.
So I loved it.
I loved it when they gave me
a warm welcome.
Amazingly, they're all so warmhearted.
No. As I'm Cooper Family,
I can't betray them.
Being Cooper Family, I'll stay away.
This is how a war begins.
If I betray them,
my shoes will be hung on the wire.
That's a horrible thing to say!
And yesterday, I put Brooklyn in my heart.
(Brooklyn)
I put it in my heart,
taking Gwacheon and Seoul out.
You!
(Meanwhile)
- Chicharron.
- Chicharron, yes.
- Thank you.
- The best here.
Teo is in another gang now.
- This tastes good.
- Chewy, firey.
So good.
Who pays for all this?
- We all chip in.
- Is that so?
Like 20 dollars.
Can I chip in too?
- No, you guys, no.
- No?
You're here, you already paid the price.
It's all right.
- We love it.
- I respect that.
So you were born and raised here?
I was born in the Dominican Republic,
but I came here when I was a baby
like 4 or 5.
So you're all from South America,
like all the people?
- Dominican.
- Dominican.
Dominican and Puerto Rican friends,
you know, we're all cool.
What's wrong?
Cooper Family doesn't hang out there.
"A man who isn't cool".
VSOP City, Bing Nation,
Toox.
I won't betray my gang.
(I won't betray my gang.)
It's a family.
They're ordinary citizens.
(Loyal84 only thanks about the gang.)
(Glancing)
Teo must get along with that gang.
(Curious)
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
(Walking over sneakily)
Do you know Cooper?
- Cooper?
- "Cooper?" Do you mean Cooper Street?
- Yes, Cooper Street.
- Yes.
I'm from Cooper Street.
(Okay.)
What now?
Are you friends with the Cooper Family?
Yes, we have no problems with them.
Since they're friends,
this gang must be
allied with my gang.
Then it's all right. We're allies.
Yes. I got permission.
We are allies.
(After checking they are allies,)
(he takes a seat.)
Gosh.
I thought
we were enemies and acted carefully.
(Feeling awkward)
He must think of himself
as a gang member or something.
(Laughing)
I was just having fun.
Kian84 must feel a stronger bond
with the Cooper Family
because they were the first townspeople.
But the fact that you can feel
the affection in any town is important.
Thank you.
(Affection)
They're opening their hearts
and being nice
- to the strangers simply passing by.
- Right?
Regardless of who you are,
they welcome everyone.
Where are they from?
Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
They're immigrants.
On holidays,
they quite often have a barbeque party
for the neighbors and invite everyone
to hang around.
- All the townspeople gather?
- Yes.
(The immigrants gather and bond together
in the foreign country.)
(Foreigners have settled
in a block of South America.)
(Another foreigner is deep in thought.)
Overall, here's what I felt.
The streets from 1 to 6
and the avenue from 1 to 6 in New York.
Each block is rectangular,
like a chess board.
In each block
In one block,
South Americans gather and hold parties.
In another block is the Cooper Family.
Numerous people from who knows where
have gathered in each block
and held parties.
(Another world by foreigners in a block)
When the dandelion seeds travel
in the air,
you never know where it'll take root.
Like that, these people
from all around the world
have taken root here.
(The foreigners took root
like dandelion seeds.)
That's the biggest thing
I felt in New York.
How should I put it?
Dandelion territory.
Yes, it was a dandelion territory.
That was when I got my inspiration.
(A unheard song?)
What?
My gosh.
(Is it Kian84's voice?)
- What's this?
- My goodness.
- Is this the song?
- It's nice.
The song is nice.
- Wait.
- They used his song.
("Dandelion" by Kian84)
(I'm going on an adventure by accident)
(To find the melody I've forgotten)
(Where are you from? How's this place?)
(Is it a good place to take root?)
(I haven't found it yet)
(I'm in the air with no roots)
(A completely different place,
an unknown land)
(Unexpected flowers are everywhere)
(The flowers that took root
on the chessboard)
(Sing)
(Yes, I'm leaving to look for novelty)
(In a place nobody goes to)
(I'm going on an adventure by accident)
(To find the melody I've forgotten)
(Dreaming of becoming a singer
by accident)
(The inspirations he got
from experiencing everything)
(His trip became music
and was created into the first song.)
("Dandelion" by Kian84)
(Amazed)
- Now
- Wait. The song is
- The lyrics were great. It's nice.
- The song makes you happy.
The song was played after we watched
- the story of your trip.
- Yes.
- It made the song more special.
- Is that so?
You're now singer Kian84, right?
- No.
- Songwriter Kian84.
Gosh, no.
- What's the title?
- "Dandelion."
- "Dandelion?"
- It's cute.
Good. "Dandelion" is nice.
If I'm asked to sing at an event.
- Did you already think that far?
- If it's
Yeoju Rice Festival
or something like that,
- Gosh.
- Yes?
I will change the title to "Rice Seed."
- "Rice Seed?"
- To match the region?
- How can you change the title?
- I was just joking.
I added my personal life to the lyrics.
I lived in Suwon, Seongnam,
Gangwon Province, Seoul,
Gwacheon, and more.
Either way, I'm still wandering around
without a family.
- I haven't
- You haven't taken root?
- settled down yet.
- You haven't settled down.
I wrote that.
Along the trip,
- I didn't stop writing.
- The lyrics?
I wrote whatever came to my mind.
Then I sent it to the songwriter in Korea.
That was during the whole trip.
- So you kept communicating with them.
- Yes.
The song will be released
at 6 p.m. the day this episode airs,
right?
- Yes.
- I'm nervous.
You'll be watching it right now.
Please listen to the song
when it's released.
- "Dandelion."
- People will. It's a nice song.
How embarrassing.
Have a nice day!
(The traveler leaves again
like dandelion seeds.)
Have a good day.
- Without a doubt, I like South America.
- Is that so?
They're so warmhearted,
and the music is amazing.
- I'm happy that you felt how I felt
- Cooper Family?
with the Cooper Family, Teo.
Though it was short.
- Really?
- Yes.
(Going deeper into New York
for another inspiration)
(Death metal?)
(They're invited
to a secret gathering in the dark?)
(Music? No, it's a fight!)
(A wild festival
that takes one's soul out)
(Inspire me!)
(I'm here!)
(To make Kian84's singer dream come true)
(The almighty guide, Pani Bottle)
(Into the nature of central US
to get musical inspiration)
I'm really excited.
(A party to practice vocals?)
(Teo, possessed by a rocker's soul)
(Mad84 who won't lose)
(Vocal training
by the out-of-the-ordinary brothers)
(Help me.)
(Ignoring him)
(Come here!)
(Who would dive as vocal training?)
(I don't care anymore.)
(The wild Underwear Bottle returns!)
(Awakening)
(Training complete)
(The three US vocalist brothers')
(messed up harmony. Will they be okay?)
(Music Adventure by Accident)
- The first episode was a big hit.
- Nice.
- Right.
- Everyone is talking about it.
By the way, where's Pani Bottle today?
- I know, right?
- Pani Bottle is
- He's traveling for his day job.
- Yes.
- He went to shoot videos.
- We'll even work
- He's the busiest member.
- Pani Bottle's share.
Now that we're traveling to New York
with Kian84,
- aren't you craving pizza?
- I am. New York is known for its pizza.
- Right. I can smell it right now.
- Me too.
(The pizza is here.)
- We have a table full of pizza.
- It's pizza.
- My gosh.
- On top of bread?
Goodness.
- It looks amazing.
- The pizza looks delicious.
- Hold on.
- Good grief.
Try it.
- It's overflowing with cheese.
- I love pizza.
- Look at the cheese.
- Dig in.
- It's good.
- The dough is chewy.
How delicious.
The cheese.
- Really, the cheese.
- Gosh.
- Even the dough is chewy and tasty.
- Yes.
You sure are enjoying it.
- Are you releasing a song?
- This time round
It'll be released
when today's episode ends.
Really? Can we listen to it?
Yes, you can listen to it.
- I wrote the words.
- For real?
Yes. The song
was composed by a popular person.
- Seriously?
- Already?
- Will you appear on "Show! Music Core?"
- Gosh.
If the song gets a good response.
Cast me, MBC, my foot.
(Please listen to it a lot!)
(Finally entering the Cooper Project)
- Hey.
- What's going on? This kid.
- I'm doing good.
- He's from South Korea.
He's a famous artist from South Korea.
(The gang members appear from all sides.)
Yes.
(Slightly nervous)
- Yes, that was
- From last night.
(Nervously touring the neighborhood)
I appreciate it.
(A silent signal)
Hold on. What does that mean?
- Oh, no.
- Why?
I have to handle
I have a handle a business.
It's No, hey.
- Toox suddenly left.
- What?
Is he making a deal? Wait.
I appreciate it, my boy.
- Yes, that's legal.
- I didn't know him.
- He gave the guy something.
- Another satisfied customer
who bought a Toox shirt.
(I sold a T-shirt.)
He sold a T-shirt.
(I sold a T-shirt.)
- It was a direct deal.
- Is it like a secondhand marketplace?
It's something like that.
He sells merchandise
that has his name on it.
- Is Toox your brand?
- Yes, sir.
- Did you design it yourself? "Toox."
- Yes.
It needs hard work and dedication.
We have to walk all the way up.
I want to show the other side
of where we come from.
We have to show you
where my family is from.
Okay, thank you.
I'm going to take you
to the infamous 295 Jackson St.
- Oh, man.
- Right.
- That's the central hub of this project.
- Yes.
We're going to the place
they were born and raised in.
- You know, on family days,
- Yes.
- this is more like a courtyard.
- It's called The Circle.
Yes, this is called The Circle.
We used to hang around
in the apartment complex playground.
Right.
- Do you live here, Toox?
- I live here. My building is in the back.
There are so many more buildings
in the back.
We will all come here
and converge together.
Yes, we play games.
- I know.
- You know what I mean?
On every family day that we have.
(Laughing)
This is one of the spots where,
you know, we do fireworks.
We're not supposed to have fireworks,
but they light them off right there.
Light them off, and you can see them.
- What's that?
- They're setting off fireworks.
- That place is like Wolmido.
- "Wolmido?"
- Our cyphers go on right here.
- Cyphers right here?
- Yes.
- I see.
(A place to cypher and socialize)
- Yes. There are a lot of trees.
- Really?
There are a lot of trees,
so we get a lot of shade.
Yes, a lot of trees.
(Trees)
- Trees?
- He's cute.
Trees.
But we spend, you know, those benches?
That's our hangout spot.
So you sit on those benches
until 2 to 4
- in the morning.
- Right. Let's sit.
- "Right. Let's sit."
- The bench.
(He made a believable excuse and escaped.)
Where are you going?
This is where my family is from.
My aunt lives up here.
- I actually want you to meet her, maybe.
- Okay.
We can go in.
- I want to show you the inside.
- Yes.
Are we going to your aunt's house?
Yes. We're going to my aunt's house.
I just want to show you how
- He's giving you a tour of the inside?
- Gosh.
- He took you over there.
- I felt very grateful that
he invited me to his family's house.
- It's not an easy decision.
- Yes, and you're a stranger.
I like you. You're a cool guy.
Yes. I want to show you my family.
She's somebody who raised me
from when I was a baby
and showed me the way.
- She's a mom-like figure.
- I should greet her.
My family lives here.
I'm going to go in and check to make sure
they're okay.
- Good?
- Okay.
- He needed to get their consent first.
- Because of the cameras.
You're right.
(While he's getting the family's consent,)
(Kian84 looks around.)
This is an old building.
It would've been nice
if the hallway was a bit more spacious.
What a shame.
Those were built as apartments years ago.
There were many old buildings.
How do I act mindful in English?
- Excuse me.
- "Excuse me?" Okay.
Keep interpreting for me.
Properly. What's your job?
What?
I'm troubled.
(Walking out)
- Okay.
- Come in.
- Good.
- So they know.
He got their consent.
(Curious)
I was really curious.
- Hey.
- I asked him to come in.
- Okay.
- You can come in.
Hello.
- Excuse me. Hello.
- What's up? What's going on everyone?
She's his aunt.
- That's my auntie. Auntie Makohim.
- What's up?
- That's right.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- His aunt.
- Yes, she's my aunt.
- She's like his mom.
- Auntie, this is Kian84.
He's a famous South Korean actor,
artist, and everything.
"Actor?"
- They are all my little cousins.
- Cousins?
- Your cousins?
- Yes, my little cousins.
- What's your name?
- Keith.
- "Keith?"
- Keith.
- Keith.
- Zuraya.
- What's your name? Tell him.
- What's your name?
- Zuraya.
- Zuraya.
- How cute.
- Zuraya.
- "Zuraya?"
- Yes.
Zuraya.
(Nice to meet you, too.)
So this is my family.
- She's adorable.
- They raised me.
(Appearing)
Hello. Nice to meet you.
That's my uncle right there.
He's Uncle Bobo.
- Uncle Bobo.
- Hello.
Hello. Are you going to school?
Yes. These are all of my cute cousins.
Are you going to school?
(The family members appear one by one.)
- Do you like K-pop?
- What?
Do you like K-pop?
- Or hip-hop?
- I like K-pop.
- Really?
- Do you like K-pop?
- Which group do you like?
- BTS?
- Pizza?
- "Pizza."
K-pop group Pizza?
(Yes.)
Search for them, and they might exist.
On any given day,
- there could be a lot of people.
- Hello.
- How cute.
- Everyone comes to this house.
- They get comfortable.
- Do you like pizza?
(Nodding)
(I like pizza.)
Okay. Do you see my cousin in the back?
Are you hot there, my boy?
Are there more?
- He has a big family.
- He does.
His family kept showing up.
How many people are there in your family?
- Six.
- Six people?
Back in the day, it was 20.
(Back in the day, it was 20.)
Twenty people?
- Twenty people lived in that house?
- Yes, when he was young.
I have six kids
- and 22 grandkids.
- I see.
- She has 22 grandkids?
- Yes.
- Twenty-two.
- Two great-grandkids.
Even great-grandkids?
- How old are you?
- I'm 68.
- You're 68?
- She's 68.
I think you look like you're in your 50s.
(Stop it.)
- Fifties.
- I thought you meant five years old.
- A big family.
- A big family.
Sometimes we play cards.
Sometimes, you know, we have parties.
His aunt raised all of them.
- Yes.
- She's incredible. How admirable.
I treat my aunt with respect.
You know, like an older aunt.
People who have a lot of wisdom
and a lot to give.
I learned a lot from her.
I put in a lot of things
I learned from here
and a lot of the situations
that happened here in my music.
I put them in my hip-hop.
- This is your house of history.
- History.
- Your house of history.
- History.
- History.
- This is where history started.
My inspiration.
I thought the US revolved around
capitalism and individualism.
But they were very loving.
VSOP has lived here since he was little.
I could picture the story in my head.
It made me feel closer to him.
Rappers' lyrics are rough
- but many are about family.
- That's right.
Because of his family,
VSOP was able to come to his senses.
- He didn't go astray.
- Right.
I can still remember
the smell of the house.
- You can remember it?
- Yes, it smelled like my house in Ulsan.
- "Ulsan?"
- In Ulsan?
Yes, my mom's old house.
Hold on. I should give the kids
some pocket money.
- Gosh.
- I can't give much.
He's never cheap to kids.
I'll give them 20 dollars.
How much is that?
(Around 27,000 won)
Okay, 20 dollars each.
You're giving them 20 dollars each?
Wait.
Here's some pocket money.
(Opening his wallet
in the Ulsan-scented house)
- Allowance.
- "Allowance?"
Okay.
Say, "Thank you."
- Say, "Thank you."
- Did you thank me?
You don't want to? I'm sorry.
(Returning it)
I'm sorry.
(Throwing it)
What? What's wrong?
- Maybe he's shy.
- I think he's shy.
Okay. I'm sorry.
- You don't want it?
- This is an allowance from me.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Do you want some allowance? Okay.
- Thank you.
- Here, you too.
- Thank you.
(And again)
- I'm sorry.
- There's a tension between the two.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- "I'm sorry."
- I'm sorry.
- You aren't going to say thank you?
Oh, my. What's wrong?
(He apologized and gave him
the allowance with difficulty.)
Korea, where I'm from
He gave the allowance
but remained anxious.
In Korea, we say "Thank you."
Thank you.
- Sorry.
- He said, "Thank you."
Different culture.
- We are different.
- Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Okay. I'll leave.
I'll get going. Yes.
(Laughing awkwardly)
There's only one thing
that I can do.
Like when I was in Bolivia,
and when I met Porpi,
I gave allowance to the kids.
I did the same here.
(I gave them the allowance too.)
Maybe this is a cultural difference.
I'm not sure.
- I don't know why he suddenly cried.
- He was a bright kid.
Did his pride get hurt?
I was very worried.
I might've made a mistake
because of the cultural differences.
I might have.
(Feeling sad)
Is it impolite to give allowance
in the US?
In Korea, we give allowance to the kids.
That's the same thing they do.
That's what I do.
I don't give the big ones. I give them.
- Same culture.
- Same. Yes.
I feel sorry seeing him cry.
- So shall we go now?
- Yes.
Did I give him too little?
- I think so too.
- Right?
You only gave him 20 dollars
and asked him to say, "Thank you."
I should've given him 100 dollars.
- You have good chemistry with kids.
- Yes.
(Feeling absurd)
- Bye.
- Bye.
Handsome.
- Yes, you too.
- Yes.
It's heartwarming.
All right, bye. All right, aunt.
I'll call you all later.
Korean family is very small.
- Small?
- Korean family is small.
Many people don't get married.
No babies.
- No?
- Yes, Koreans.
My goodness. So you don't want any babies?
- I want.
- In the future.
I want a family.
- I want a son.
- I see.
So you have
You are a successful artist.
- Yes.
- This
I know that
the girls will be all over you.
(Smirking)
Right?
- I look so happy.
- You don't deny it.
- You don't deny it.
- He's not wrong.
Right. You're a successful artist.
(A successful artist)
How are you liking the city so far?
Is it fun?
Here?
My first day was a little scary and
- Scary?
- Yes.
He felt unfamiliar.
But now it feels friendly.
Yes, family is very heart.
You know, the thing about it is
That's how we felt growing up.
- When you go outside, it's scary.
- Yes.
- Outside?
- So we got to create an environment
- that's friendly.
- Yes.
- So when we come home,
- Yes.
we're not scared.
If you go wherever else, it is scary.
It's safer to be in a group.
Is this the Cooper Family?
- Yes.
- Yes.
I'm a Cooper Family too.
- Of course!
- You.
You're a Cooper Family now.
Come on. You just took the toll.
You're a Cooper now.
- I won't be able to cross there now.
- Come on, now.
- Gosh, you're a Cooper Family now.
- It's a family.
VSOP, I'll attack this village.
If I get attacked and call you,
will you come here?
- Yes, please!
- Yes.
- Please!
- Thank you.
- Every time.
- He feels safe now.
- Oh, my.
- Good.
- Blood alliance.
- Always.
I should call myself as Cooper84.
Cooper84.
- So we'll drive and go out.
- Oh, my.
He could get in the front.
If you want, you can sit in the front.
- Thank you.
- All right.
Is this okay with you?
- I'm just putting the AC on.
- But you should
(Yes.)
I'll drive you
and take you to the studio with me.
- Gosh, you're going to the studio.
- He wants to take me to the studio.
(Excited)
(He was invited
to his music studio last night.)
- There's New York music.
- New York music?
- Hip-hop studio.
- Even I haven't been there.
(Connecting Bluetooth)
Bluetooth.
This one is supposed to be down.
This one is supposed to be up.
I got lint on my hair.
Gosh, he's detailed.
- This is me and Bing.
- For real?
- For real?
- Me and Bing Nation.
- They
- Oh, gosh.
- They're all musicians.
- made this music.
One, two, three!
(He starts singing
while he is fixing his hair.)
I feel like I'm looking at my friends.
- At the light, turn left.
- Came along the way
The navigation joined too.
(Cooper Family is getting excited.)
Their life is all about music.
(Cooper84 is still shy.)
(Enjoy.)
(Starts dancing)
(Singing)
(Cooper84 is excited.)
I wanted to sing together,
but I didn't know the lyrics.
At the light, turn right.
- Turn right.
- On to Nothern Avenue.
(He participates in featuring
as he gets excited.)
This song is nice.
In half a mile
(Fully immersed)
(He's recording.)
(It's nothing special, but they're excited
and they burst into laughter.)
- Yes, I can do that.
- This is nice!
- I can do that.
- Bing Nation.
- Thank you.
- Some say he can't sing.
He can say, "That's me."
All set!
- Toox.
- That's me. Yes, sir.
(Toox's song,
who's full of energy and joy)
I recognize his voice.
(Impressed)
Me!
(Joyful Toox raps very well.)
He's good.
Me!
(He sang along "Me!")
- He said, "Me!"
- Me!
It's better.
Me?
Me!
Like that.
- Nice!
- What you said?
Appreciate you.
- Single mother.
- "Single mother."
(Laughing)
(He learns another vocabulary
after getting praised.)
- Yes.
- No.
I like this part.
(Rolling stone)
Roll roll rolling
(Rolling stone)
He never gets tired.
- He never.
- He's an energizer.
(Cooper84 got thirsty
after saying a few words.)
(Toox is still performing
even though he should be thirsty.)
(Glancing)
(He was born to be a singer.)
(Toox is excited alone
when the audience is silent.)
- VSOP looks tired too.
- It's sad.
Yes, he didn't react.
(His energy is too much
to be covered by their friendship.)
(He's fully immersed.)
He's fully immersed.
(Laughing)
(His head hurts.)
Tooxo.
(His name is Toox.)
Yes!
(He's about to fall asleep
after losing all his energy.)
Angle from the side,
angle from the bottom side, I mean
Listen you explain that to him
(There must've been a funny triangle.)
(Rubbing his eyes)
My stomach hurts.
I was
trying to listen with attention
to get closer to them.
Toox
doesn't need a cypher.
He does cypher every day.
He's doing it already.
He keeps talking when no one listens.
(He's still talking.)
(Please kill me.)
"Please kill me."
Your destination is on your right.
- In half a mile
- Bobobo!
(They arrived at the studio
before dying of his energy.)
(How will the hip-hop studio
at Brooklyn look like?)
Nice to meet you.
(He enters the studio.)
He's entering the studio!
She's so tall.
Be at the other side.
(Toox enters while dancing.)
(Producer)
(The aspiring singer finds
the music studio fascinating.)
- This is a legit music studio.
- My goodness.
Let me try to record it.
Let me see how it sounds.
He's recording right now.
(VSOP is recording a guide for his song.)
VSOP is going to show him.
(He starts recording.)
(The aspiring singer is following
the rhythm.)
(Toox is again excited.)
(He became a maestro again.)
I thought he was being quiet,
but his body was making a noise.
Because he couldn't speak while recording,
- so he danced instead.
- I see.
(Dancing)
(Dancing)
(The song finished.)
There's a doll that dances
only when the music is played.
(He's like a doll.)
(Monitoring the recording)
So what I was thinking was
finish all the frames
and then do the second
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
The second flow.
Separately.
So say, "Can I take you home with me."
And then literally just two tracks.
They're seriously discussing music
without joking around.
I saw it in cypher but when he raps,
he's different. He's really good.
He's not trying to do hip-hop.
His life itself is hip-hop.
(Their lives are hip-hop.)
See. So what happens is sometimes
If you're at a studio session,
you get a brain cramp.
- So you have a brain cramp,
- Yes.
throw some beats on,
and you start bouncing ideas
back and forth.
- In freestyle?
- Yes!
Yes, freestyle.
Cypher is
usual as if it's like drinking Americano.
(Toox starts rapping first
as he can speak now.)
He's writing something.
He's writing.
(He writes the lyrics
thinking of the last two days in the US.)
- Rapper84.
- He doesn't get afraid anymore.
- What do you think?
- Me?
What do you think when your head hurts?
What I think?
- One, two, three, four.
- One, two, three, four.
(I went to Central Park.)
He wrote the lyrics in English.
(There are no toilets in Central Park.)
(No toilet!)
(I was sick.)
I was sick.
(For a long time)
(I ran and ran.)
He didn't poop his pants.
(I struggled to find a toilet.)
(But this studio)
(have a good toilet.)
(Laughing)
The toilet was nice.
(He already checked the toilet.)
There we go! Just like that!
(I gave allowance to the kids.)
(But he was sulky. Why did he cry?)
(Gosh. I'm still thinking about it.)
(I gave them 20 dollars each fairly.)
(But she)
(cried!)
There's a story.
(She cried!)
But she was a he. That's a boy.
- He.
- It was a boy.
Oh, he was a boy?
(He's a boy.)
(Don't cry, girl.)
(Grow up strong.)
Now you picked the flow.
You've got to give me some.
- Yes.
- I like the way you picked the flow.
Yes, I'm a follower.
Yes, I felt it.
I really felt it.
- One, two, three, four.
- One, two, three, four.
Okay. Let's get it.
- Okay.
- Yes.
(Supporting)
(Simon Dominic, I'm in Brooklyn
and not The Bronx.)
Is it me, again?
Video letter rap.
(He suddenly starts rapping
as if he's sending a video letter.)
(Simon Dominic, look at this
when I go back to Korea.)
(I'm now)
(doing real hip-hop.)
(I'm doing real hip-hop here.)
Oh, man. That's it.
Oh, finally!
Why did I do that?
Show us!
(Muscles)
(Muscles)
(Muscles, hip-hop, yes!)
(Lifting weights)
- I should go to the gym.
- Nice.
He's playing around with the rhythm.
We're not done.
I'm so happy.
I'm very happy.
- Yes. It was great.
- Us too.
You touched our hearts.
- The viewers must be crying.
- Seriously.
You never said my name during
the awards ceremony but you call me now.
(He missed out only Simon Dominic's name
during the awards ceremony.)
(But Simon Dominic is Kian84's old wife.)
(He was his darling.)
(His heart is fluttering.)
I'm touched.
This is real.
All right. So we can get out of here
and enjoy a party.
- What time?
- Six o'clock.
- Six?
- Six.
(While they were touring
the neighborhood,)
(he invited his acquaintances to a party.)
(He invited Kian84 to the party too.)
(We're going to have music,)
(and the kids will be dancing.)
(It's a family party.)
- In front of the electric wires.
- Okay.
- See you at six.
- Yes.
"In front of the electric wires."
The location for the meeting is unusual.
"See you in front of the electric wires."
There are Jordan electric wires,
- and Adidas electric wires.
- I see.
Later, there will be a family party.
I asked around and apparently
people buy cakes for the party.
Just now, I went with nothing.
My goodness. It looks like a vintage cake.
This one and
one each
for everything.
These two more.
Yes.
- Can I write a sign for you?
- Well, sign
- Please write Cooper.
- Cooper.
Yes.
I'm not sure of the spelling.
- Cooper.
- Cooper.
- It's O.
- Just Cooper?
Yes. Double O.
Cooper Family.
Thank you.
He bought a lot. His hands are full.
(He got out after buying a lot of things.)
(What?)
They're having a party.
Are they having a party too?
It was their Independence Day.
I'll go to the party now.
Gosh, this is heavy.
I need more hands.
(Heading to the party venue
with two full hands and excitement)
Cooper Community. This is the right place.
(Their meeting point is
in front of the electric wires.)
Cooper park houses.
It's in front of the condominium.
(He arrived at the Cooper Project.)
Is it there?
(Music can be heard from far too.)
This is
- Hello!
- My man!
- Hello!
- "My man."
Toox!
- He brought gifts?
- Toox.
- Listen.
- Yes.
So what you're seeing is
the combination of community events.
- Community? This here?
- Yes.
So we're just out here. Kicking it!
- This is nice.
- Sit.
Is this the Cooper block neighborhood?
Yes.
(In the free-spirited environment)
They look free.
(he also becomes joyful.)
(Barbeque is grilling.)
- Barbeque.
- Yes, barbeque.
- My goodness.
- Oh, my.
- They're dancing too.
- So cute.
The party that Kian84 got invited to
is called Block Party.
On special days, an outdoor party is
held by blocking off vehicle traffic
in a specific block of the neighborhood.
This event is said to enhance
the sense of community
and strengthen the bonds among residents.
This block party,
which features activities like barbecue,
fireworks, rap, DJing, and dancing,
is said to have had a significant impact
on the development of hip-hop.
It's Piggy.
It's a town festival.
Thank you for inviting me.
Thank you for coming back, man.
I'm thankful.
This is a cake.
- These are cupcakes.
- He brought
cookies.
(Ta-da)
My goodness. The cake. Cooper.
Cooper Family Love.
- Cooper Family Love.
- It's not the correct spelling.
- Is it wrong?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Did I spell it wrong?
Oh, no.
(The staff helped to write the letters.)
He wrote it.
It's missing with another O.
- Oh, another O.
- He wrote Coper instead of Cooper.
It's okay. They understood.
It's okay.
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
(Having a toast
with the forgiving Cooper Family)
- Cheers!
- Cheers.
- The US is known for using red cups.
- Yes.
- It looks fun.
- They gave me whiskey.
- Is it whiskey?
- Yes.
(Roaring)
(Screaming)
Toox loved it.
(Screaming)
- Right here.
- Yes.
- You know.
- The heart.
This is hip-hop.
(You're right.)
Toox needs to visit Korea one day.
He'll win the Best Rookie Award.
- My goodness.
- I envy him.
Catching the vibe.
Kian84, I want to show you everybody.
- I want you to meet them.
- Yes.
Come right here. This is Lans.
Yes. Nice to meet you.
He's my cousin. My older cousin.
You look like Snoop Dogg.
- He looks like Snoop Dogg.
- He looks the same.
- Yes.
- Okay. So look.
This is my cousin Jessica.
Is it your cousin?
- She's shy.
- Nice to meet you.
- Oh, you are shy!
- She's shy.
Look at my mom.
Mama.
- Hello. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
My name is Kian84.
VSOP SITY
She's like Michelle Obama.
(Her smile looks kind
like Michelle Obama.)
He's an artist from South Korea.
(Impressed)
VSOP is a fantastic artist.
- A fantastic rapper.
- Yes.
- That's my mom.
- I'm proud of him.
Mama.
I'm proud of him.
He loves his family very much.
- Yes.
- He loves his family very much.
- Yes.
- He is but not me.
Why?
- She's tough.
- I'm tough.
She's tough. She's crazy.
Why do you say she's crazy?
No, I'm not crazy.
She's not crazy. She's tough.
That was a spicy comment.
(They even make spicy jokes
to each other.)
Mother, have something to eat.
Drink and eat food.
- She doesn't drink.
- I don't drink.
- I don't drink.
- You don't drink?
- No alcohol.
- Yes.
Do you want cookies, bread, or
- Nice.
- Yes.
- You bought them well.
- Nice.
Which one is yours?
What's your favorite cookie?
- This is the children's.
- This is for the kids?
- Yes. Kids.
- Man. Is it?
Yes. I should give them to the kids.
- Over there.
- Come here.
- Do you have an extra bag to put this in?
- Cookie.
I'm like the guy
in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
(Cookies)
Why is he so cute?
(They're all interested
in sweet Charlie84.)
Cookie?
(Cookie?)
Why are the children so cute?
(Excited)
Goodness.
Why does it feel like I'm in Madagascar?
- Goodness.
- Becky?
It felt like Madagascar.
(Charlie84 adds sweetness.)
Cookie.
- Do you want some?
- How cute.
- How cute.
- She looks cool.
Cry
- Who was it?
- Who was the crybaby?
(While giving out allowance at aunt's)
(You should say thank you.)
(Shaking)
(No thank you.)
(You only gave 20 dollars.)
(Feeling sorry)
(The kid who cried for an unknown reason)
- Crying kid.
- He's a good adult who apologizes.
Is it her?
- Do you want some cookies?
- Cookies?
Do you want some cookies?
Take one.
(She's not the crying kid.)
Why are you apologizing
to her?
Just one.
(He delivered the apology
to the wrong person.)
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- While giving out the cookie.
I'm sorry about today.
(It happens.)
I was worried most about you
because you cried. I thought I did wrong.
(Something isn't right.)
What is he doing?
Crying kid?
(No)
This is crazy.
It wasn't you?
- What is he talking about?
- You almost made another kid cry.
It's him.
It's him.
- Cookie.
- Come here.
- Cookie.
- I remembered him.
Do you want a cookie?
- Have a nice day.
- Do you want a cookie?
Good. You did a good job.
(He eats the cookie and cooly leaves.)
But
He could have said bye.
(Tagging along)
You shouldn't take them all.
Just eat that one.
I guess she liked it.
(The cookies are popular.)
If I knew,
I would have given him cookies
instead of 20 dollars.
He looks happier than when
he received the allowance money.
That's right.
I'm sorry, Zuraya.
I'm sorry about today.
- He sincerely apologized again.
- He's looking at him.
(He makes a sincere apology
in a sweet way.)
(He returns lightly after making
the apology.)
(Well done)
(Cheers)
Thank you.
- This one.
- Thank you.
(They keep taking care of him.)
As me how it went today.
How nice.
- I think you were drunk in the mood.
- It must have been nice.
Remember when I told you
my mom doesn't drink?
She's in remission from cancer.
She had cancer.
- His mother?
- His mother was sick.
She's fully recovered?
So she doesn't drink anymore.
That's a big relief.
Good.
- Thank you, Mama.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
VSOP SITY's mother came
as well as the children
in the aunt's house.
It was like a family event.
(The block party was like
a fun family event.)
It was like I was invited for a holiday.
The way they lived was similar to us
in that way.
Do you have such parties often?
On special occasions.
Like tomorrow is the fourth.
- Fourth of July. It gets crazy.
- It goes crazy.
Holidays. Everybody.
Every holiday?
As much as possible.
It's like a feast in Korea.
On the traditional holidays.
They play basketball games.
The kids race and run around.
I see.
(Like playing tag
on our traditional holidays)
(They fiercely run around
in Brooklyn traditional holidays.)
That's right.
They run around outside.
(He finds something.)
They're playing poker.
There.
- They're playing poker.
- They're playing poker too.
It's similar. It's the same.
Brooklyn is the same as here.
- People live in similar ways.
- Right.
Do you want to learn how to play cards?
Cards? No.
- He said no.
- No.
(Are you scared?)
They look like pro gamers.
Yes. All of them.
They're gamblers.
They each have money
(Do you want to see my skills?)
- A gambler.
- She's good.
(He's impressed.)
No. I'll be ripped off.
He said I will not play with you.
(Disappointed)
That's too funny.
They would have had a better time
because you came.
That's right. It's so nice.
- Here.
- Yes, sir.
Right there.
(Stop)
You don't drink so well, do you?
- You drink only a little?
- What?
(He's annoyed.)
The Korean says you don't drink much.
I can't even See this.
(Shaking)
(Is he sobering up?)
He has lots of talents.
Breathe out and then take the drink.
You have no idea.
Toox doesn't stop talking.
I can't reply to him.
The way you talk is like a cypher.
The way you talk is like a cypher.
Your talking is like a cypher.
- You're ready for the cypher?
- Yes.
You're ready for the cypher?
(Shall we start a real cypher?)
There will be another cypher.
(He proposes to start a cypher.)
You're ready for another cypher?
Do you want to do this right now?
- Right now?
- Will that be right now?
Move around
There it goes again.
It starts right away.
Speaking of the K, be on top of the K
(The rap comes out immediately
like a spinal reflex.)
What do you mean?
(Mumbling)
Mother took it next?
- Mother.
- Eminem.
(It's my turn!)
(Aunt Poker also joins the cypher.)
- She just goes for it.
- It's so hip.
Listen. Hip-hop is a way of life.
- Gosh.
- It's a culture.
All your family can rap freestyle.
- It's real.
- It's life.
Hip-hop is more than music.
The cypher started then.
The aunt suddenly went on
as she was playing poker.
It was like the mothers' nagging
or expression of hardships.
It was different from the root.
Even in Yeoju, the old ladies curse.
It's just that there is no beat.
It's strong.
- If they had the beat
- That's right.
I was wondering when you'd mention it.
I think it's a way of expressing hardship.
You vomit things out
and make a virtuous cycle.
(Maybe hip-hop is about vomiting words
that were inside you.)
It's my turn.
Okay.
Yes.
- Again.
- He's a cypher machine.
- He's a rapping machine.
- Spit it out.
(There is no lyrics note this time!)
(What will he express
in his real freestyle rap?)
And he goes.
(What will he express
in his real freestyle rap?)
I came to Cooper family's dinner
And as expected, today's dinner
Is unbelievable
Goodness. He's talking.
He understood.
It would be nice if we did this
on Korean traditional holidays too
That's good.
I don't want to go home on holidays
Mom
I don't have a girl. I can't get married
Don't ask me what I do
(Don't ask me what I do these days)
Don't ask me about having a kid either
Don't ask me about getting married
Don't ask me about getting a job
I will live the way I want
Don't nag, just give me allowance money
It's a bad son rap.
Seolnal, Chuseok, don't nag, give me money
- Yes.
- Gosh.
Keep the money
"Keep the money."
"Give me money."
(Conclusion: Keep your money well
on traditional holidays)
(Like I did)
- Keep the money?
- He turned it around.
(Here comes "Keep the money")
Listen. Give him a round of applause.
Give my boy a round of applause.
You don't clap
for yourself. Do you?
He didn't just blabber. There was a story.
He improved a lot
over a short period of time.
You played me.
You made me teach you how to rap,
but you already knew how to do it.
You already knew how to do it.
What is he saying?
It's a coming-of-age movie.
- Yes.
- Give me that.
You don't learn a flow like that
in two hours.
I don't know
if this is a cypher or a conversation.
The border is disappearing.
The border between cyphers
and conversations disappears
Beat change.
It's warm in here.
What's Aunt doing?
Look.
They're dancing.
(The whole world is hip-hop.)
It's a party.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I feel like he's going to rap
while hosting the event.
It's the dance battle of the year!
(Let's go!)
(Let's start shaking it.)
Even the kids.
Goodness.
(They approach the stage one by one.)
(Slowly approaching)
Okay!
What Simon said
the last time actually happened.
Toox hosts the event,
and people start break-dancing.
That's right.
Men and women of all ages participate.
Gosh.
(Dancer84 has to join them.)
Show us, Dancer84.
- K-pop.
- Let's go.
Here he goes.
He's here to take over Brooklyn.
Teach them a lesson.
(Come on.)
(Did you want me?)
(Dancing with an auntie
he asked without thinking)
(Another auntie joins him.)
Auntie.
They're in the front and back.
He's surrounded.
(The Korean nephew receives lots of love.)
Stay healthy, Auntie.
You must go through a lot
trying to raise your nephews.
Well done.
- Hey!
- Mother.
- Hey!
- Okay.
Congratulations
on your full recovery, Mother.
He's wishing them good luck.
- Let's go!
- Yes!
Here it comes.
"Go away, diseases."
(Touched by his dance
of showing filial love)
I'll show you. You've got to do it.
She's VSOP's younger cousin.
(The cousin teaches him how to dance
to show appreciation.)
- Ready? That's it.
- Okay.
He did that back in India.
(Grooving to the rhythm)
- All right.
- He's got the groove right.
What
You said that you were shy.
You're not shy at all.
That's it!
(The same person)
Ready? Hey!
Five, six, rolling down!
Kian84!
- Hey!
- Yes!
- Kian84!
- Cooper Family!
Family!
- He mixes in really well.
- Yes.
- Kian84!
- Cooper!
- Kian84!
- Cooper!
- Cooper!
- Kian84!
Cooper!
Cooper Family!
As a fan of hip-hop,
it's like a dream
to actually join a block party
for a project.
- You have my respect.
- Yes.
Nice.
(Thanking the family members
for helping him fulfill his dream)
Mother, congratulations
on your full recovery.
Don't ever come back,
you filthy cancer!
Do not come to her!
(The son is touched.)
Go away!
Go away, cancer!
This is crazy.
You said a lot of good stuff.
Cooper Family!
Hey!
I wish you great success, guys.
(Wishing them well)
Stay healthy
Cooper Family
That's good.
They must have loved you.
And he rolled it down.
- He did it?
- Yes, he did his own thing.
He rolled it down.
And then, he popped it out.
- You'd have to be close after that.
- It's fascinating.
We're going to break this off, man.
Get over here, K.
Okay. A cutting ceremony.
We're going to have
We're going to give it a nice cut.
- Right here.
- Right about here.
(Cutting it together
with their hands put together)
- Cooper Family.
- Absolutely.
- My guy.
- Yes.
I'm Cooper Family?
We're going to cut this,
so everybody gets a piece of cake.
I'm not going to hold you up.
I don't care if we have the
- Wait. Is he crying?
- Because he called you family?
- Were you crying?
- I got slightly emotional.
In fact, back in Korea,
I'm very careful, and I usually hide away.
And I get to freely be myself here.
(I can freely be myself here.)
I completely understand.
As far as Here,
we don't glorify celebrities.
Because you'd be family.
- We love everybody.
- Seriously?
That's so touching.
- I'm serious!
- Do you mean that?
- Okay. Thank you.
- That's what we wanted to show you here.
Absolutely.
It's so wholesome.
I would have gotten emotional too.
- Don't cry.
- You're good.
I don't cry.
- I don't cry.
- Give him love.
- I don't cry.
- There you have it.
Men don't cry.
- "Men don't cry!"
- Men don't cry.
- Last shot.
- Last one? Come on. We still got more.
We're going to toast
to my boy's new music career.
- We taught you the essence of hip-hop.
- Okay.
We brought you to Brooklyn.
Hip-hop and Brooklyn is
honestly synonymous.
What we did today was literally
the day in the life
of a hip-hop artist in Brooklyn.
Come on.
It's a connection
that you'll never forget your whole life.
Cooper Family, I mean.
You already know that you're now
a family in Brooklyn.
- Okay.
- Brooklyn, baby.
- Brooklyn!
- Brooklyn!
How did he have a shirt
that said Brooklyn too?
Gwacheon!
- "Gwacheon."
- Seoul!
- Brooklyn.
- Yes!
- I threw them away.
- That's so harsh.
I mean
- Sorry, Gwacheon and Seoul.
- It's in his heart!
- I'll leave Yeoju, at least.
- We love that.
It's my father's hometown, after all.
He left Yeoju in his heart.
(I can't throw away Yeoju.)
If I'm ever in New York
and get into a fight,
I'm calling you.
He's going to call them
if he gets into a fight!
- Yes!
- We've got your back.
How trustworthy.
If I run into a problem in New York,
I'll say,
"You don't know the Cooper Family?"
- Yes. We're pulling up!
- Call us.
- Okay. I'm a gangster!
- You're family now.
- "Gangster."
- I'm a gangster.
They've actually become one.
Be careful with that.
You know what being a gangster is, right?
It's taking care of your family
and doing the right thing
for your community.
That's what a gangster is.
I care very much about my mother.
My mother and my family.
There you go.
That's what makes you a gangster.
He has his approval.
- He's Gangster84 now.
- Exactly.
- Gangster.
- That's what a gangster is.
I'm going.
Don't cry.
- Gosh.
- He doesn't want to go.
All right, brother.
- I wish you good luck.
- Thank you.
- Good luck.
- Good luck.
Mother, stay healthy.
He pronounced that weirdly.
See you in my next life!
"My next life?"
His next life?
(That's like announcing
never to see each other again.)
"See you in my next life?"
I called them family and told them
that we'd meet in the next life.
"See you in my next life."
I'm sure they understood.
That was so funny.
I hope so.
See you in my next life!
- Yes.
- Bye!
It's a short trip,
and we're running out of time.
I'm so grateful
for helping me feel a sense of belonging,
but I also felt so shameless.
They were born
and raised there,
and they let me join their family
only after one day of experiencing it.
I felt shameless,
but also thankful for telling me that.
They must also cherish that moment.
They meant it because you meant it.
Exactly.
(The Cooper Family was sincere
only because Kian84 was sincere.)
They've shown me their actual lives,
and I thank them for that.
I can still remember
the smell of their sofa
when I went to their place.
Those little moments had zero sloppiness.
It was the essence of life.
It was real hip-hop.
Their life itself was hip-hop.
(Real hip-hop was living
the life of hip-hop.)
Hip-hop was their life.
(The Cooper Family showed him
what true hip-hop was.)
- Kian84, we appreciate you for even
- What?
- understanding the world of hip-hop.
- They even interviewed them.
- A video letter.
- You came here
on your own and decided to get
the real groundwork.
- So, we really appreciate it.
- They're thanking you.
Always practice, always write,
show humility, and show grace.
Don't focus on anyone else.
Focus on your craft.
So, Ki, thank you for coming out.
Thank you for coming to be a part
of what we have going on.
Thank you for even stepping foot
in the cypher, having the courage to rap.
That's big.
There aren't a lot of people
- that live in the States
- That's insane.
that have the confidence enough
to do what you did.
So, shoutout to you.
You've got my full support.
From VSOP SITY.
You already know what it is.
Shoutout to Ki.
Yes.
"Ki."
You wouldn't have had this connection
if you hadn't taken the courage
- to start rapping.
- I had no idea they did that.
- If he hadn't
- That's true.
- I'm so thankful.
- Right?
I had no idea.
- It's touching.
- Yes.
You should say something to him back.
- A reply.
- Thank you.
Thank you. How are you?
VSOP, Bing Nation, and Toox,
always stay healthy.
I hope you keep making music that you love
and live a life
of protecting your family.
I sincerely support you.
I wish you good luck.
Goodness. That was wholesome.
Yes. It moves my heart.
I feel like I should go to Brooklyn
on national holidays now.
- That's going to take a long time.
- I'm in trouble now.
- You need to visit every one of them.
- Yes.
I'd feel safe coming to Brooklyn now.
For I am the Cooper Family.
Cooper, thank you.
(Thank you, family!)
I should buy some water.
Brooklyn.
Cooper Family.
It was so loud and crowded, and then
Mother.
(The family members still linger
in his mind.)
The lingering feeling won't fade.
He's still thinking about them.
(He arrives at a supermarket
with lingering feelings.)
Every time,
I'm thankful, and I feel shameless.
I felt sorry
for becoming their family and leaving.
It was so short.
What a shame.
(Buying a bottle of water
to console himself)
I'll just buy water.
(Buying a bottle of water
to console himself)
- That will be 1.67 dollars.
- It's 1.67 dollars.
Could you ring this up for me too?
Thank you.
For both of us.
(Okay.)
- He's
- No way.
(Who popped up and surprised Kian84?)
- He was paying, and
- What is this?
(Yoo Teo)
(He made a surprise appearance.)
How did he show up like that?
You scared me.
(An actor born in Korea
and raised in Germany)
(The global star
that captivated the whole world)
- He's so good-looking.
- So cool.
- He's sexy.
- Totally.
(Hi)
(And a man of youthful innocence)
(But a little whimsical at the same time)
- Teo is finally here.
- Finally.
- Hi!
- He's here.
Nice to meet you.
That's their first encounter, right?
We just met, and we have to fight.
(Their first encounter caught him
off guard.)
(Panting)
(Screaming)
You said I was going there to make music.
(Breathing heavily)
(First encounters are always hard.)
As soon as they met
(Panting)
- Nice to meet you, Teo.
- What's that?
- Nice to meet you.
- Sure.
- You can drop the honorifics.
- Can I?
- Sure.
- Is it American culture?
Of course.
You had lived in New York, right?
Yes. I lived there for about seven years.
(Teo had lived in New York for 7 years.)
I've always had people tell me
that I was different.
Like, "You're weird."
I'm the same.
They said that my blood type was AB,
I was whimsical,
- Right.
- and I was a little strange.
I never got along with other people.
I usually hung out by myself
- or
- You hung out by yourself?
Yes.
(The two have a lot in common.)
That's pretty honest.
They must be on the same page.
What do you think about me?
- I feel comfortable.
- Do you?
Yes. Because you're your own man.
Okay. So, I'll just say it
without worries.
- All right.
- Sure. I'd like that.
(What do you want to tell me?)
You look a little stupid.
Yes, I get that a lot.
(Nonchalant)
(How will the trip
of the two lookalikes be?)
I can't wait to watch their trip.
(And at Incheon International Airport
not long after)
So, it starts when I receive this?
- Kian84.
- It's the beginning of Teo TV.
I hope the trip inspires me,
and we inspire each other
as we spend time together.
I'll see you there.
(From Incheon to New York)
I've arrived in New York.
(Teo arrives in New York.)
Coming to the US,
it makes me nervous.
To save money,
I'll take the subway.
(He frugally arrives in Brooklyn.)
(The younger one was enjoying
the wild block party.)
Oh, he arrived at that time.
(The younger one was enjoying
the wild block party.)
(And the older one had
a wild party by himself.)
(Kian84 entered the supermarket,)
(and he snuck in right after.)
Oh, that's when you came.
Could you ring this up for me too?
Thank you.
It was so dramatic.
(That's how Teo made a surprise entrance.)
Come on, Teo.
First, give me the money.
"Give me the money."
- Let's get out of here.
- Okay.
When did you get here?
I just got here today.
Was it when you texted me earlier?
Yes, I was already here.
- Gosh.
- Oh, my.
Let's get going.
- I'll take that.
- That's fine.
(They head back to the dorm as it's late.)
I've always wanted to run in Central Park.
- Have you visited Central Park?
- Yes.
But I didn't get to see most of it.
Just a little.
Excuse me.
Can I have one more person
stay in my room for a day?
- Okay.
- Yes.
That's going to be another 74.36 dollars.
Okay.
He's confident.
Seventy-four.
(Thinking)
(Paying with confidence)
That's 50 dollars.
That's 50?
I gave him 50 dollars.
(He gave himself a discount.)
So, I can give you 75, right?
(Teo pays the rest.)
Why did I hear 45?
The trip is going to be far easier,
thanks to Teo.
He's almost a local, so
- Thank you.
- Okay. Thanks.
Thank you.
(He safely checks in,
thanks to the reliable brother.)
- This is small.
- Celebration? Welcome.
(He meant to say, "Welcome.")
You can use this bed.
- No, I'll take this one.
- Come on.
- No, I want this one.
- No.
I like corners.
(He lets the younger one
have the larger bed.)
What have you been up to?
I thought about bringing an instrument
to this place,
so I brought a guitar.
- Where's the guitar?
- In the bag.
- It's an assembly guitar kit.
- Okay.
I'll show you.
(He carried the assembly guitar
on his back.)
It's been 3 to 4 years
since I last touched the guitar.
I bought an assembling one.
I've never seen an assembling one before.
You said that it had been three years
since you last played it.
I'll be actually mad
if you're good at playing it.
I have a feeling you'll be good.
Have you played it for a long time?
I've been playing it a little
since I was a teenager.
- Then
- Occasionally.
You're practically a musician.
The most basic chords.
(Grinning)
He can even play the guitar well?
(Playing it smoothly)
He said it's been three years, but
(He's this good
when his skills have gotten rusty.)
You're already pretty good.
You have an enthusiasm for music.
Yes, a little.
(He's an actor,
but he's also serious about music.)
(He can dance, and)
(Delicious.)
What's wrong with me?
This is going to be richer.
(An all-rounder
who also has boyish charms)
You should have been there.
You should have joined the Cooper Family.
(He feels bad that Teo couldn't join him.)
Do you like to run?
- I want to run with you.
- Okay.
It costs money to go to a gym,
so let's work out at Central Park.
- At Central Park,
- I'd like that.
we'll lightly jog.
Is there anything you want to do?
You know New York well.
You're a New Yorker.
It's going to be so crowded tomorrow
because it's the Fourth of July.
- That's a national holiday, right?
- Yes.
I'll follow the plan
that you have in mind tomorrow.
- Okay.
- You should get some rest, then.
Sure.
Did you attend an art school in New York?
Yes. It was an acting school.
You've heard of method acting, right?
People often talk about it.
So, I got the chance to go to that hotel.
Have you seen that movie?
That led to another occasion,
and I went to Japan.
Blues is music that contains resentment.
It's music for cartoonists.
That's what I want to say.
Their conversation keeps going!
I listened to his whole life story
that night.
It was like a whole epic.
We talked for over an hour before bed.
Strangely enough,
we connected well in conversation.
This is fun.
I've always wanted to spend time
like this.
I've never
communicated this well
with other people before.
It's interesting
that we're connecting so well.
It's over
once you have good communication.
Our trip is going to be
a whole lot more interesting.
- Right.
- I can't wait.
I'm excited.
(The morning of Independence Day
dawns in New York.)
Independence Day.
I feel like there are going to be
so many events.
(It's vigorous in the streets of Brooklyn
on a holiday.)
That's New York.
It's starting to look like New York.
(People taking a walk)
Look at all those puppies.
- Did you sleep well?
- Did you?
I slept like a baby.
My body feels heavy.
(Arms)
(Teo stretches thoroughly.)
(Soles)
Is that a foam roller?
He uses that for an hour every morning.
(How does Kian84, the marathoner,
prepare for it?)
Goodness.
(Wearing the socks and clothes)
(that he wore yesterday)
(So cool)
Shall we get going?
- Let's go.
- Yes.
It feels pretty good to go for a run
in the morning. I'm excited.
Let's go slowly.
Do you usually run a lot?
He said all his joints wore out
for playing basketball for so long.
Because he played so hard.
(Kian84 answers for Teo
as he knows him well.)
(Their first event)
(A healthy run in New York)
A lot of people dream
of running in New York.
Running in foreign countries is
pretty cool.
Along the walls with graffiti
(The dreamlike run in Brooklyn
even has the perfect background.)
- Good.
- Good?
Good.
There's the park.
It's the park.
(Their destination is
right in front of them.)
Let's get our heart rate up
by getting to the playground.
- Okay. Sprint?
- In 1, 2, 3.
They're sprinting.
(The last spurt)
All right. Get your heart rate up.
Pick up the pace.
Kian84 is a marathoner, after all.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(They sprint)
(and finish the morning run.)
(Soaking wet)
(Taking his socks off)
Is there water?
(Where is he drawn to?)
(The fountain in the playground)
- It was summer
- He turned into a child.
in New York at the time.
(Going in)
What's he doing?
(Surprised)
(Gargling)
(Gulping)
What did you
(He swallowed it.)
Is it okay to drink that water?
It's like Arisu in Seoul.
That's refreshing.
This is great.
Why are there two Kian84s?
So refreshing.
(Groaning)
- What?
- Goodness!
- What is he doing?
- It's a b-boy.
How did he do that?
(Falling)
(Rolling)
What is he doing?
It's yoga.
I learned how to do yoga in India.
On this filthy ground?
(Filth doesn't bother me.)
- Standing on your head?
- That's what I learned. It was tough.
(He takes a deep breath.)
I'm supposed to take my feet off.
Be careful!
- Goodness.
- They're off.
(Yoga84 has done it.)
Okay.
(Hydrating again)
That's Teo81.
He said it was filthy.
(But you said the ground was filthy.)
I wanted to try it out
since he was doing it.
You two are the same.
I'm scared to straighten my legs.
(They both showed off their yoga skills.)
(They finished the morning workout.)
They're even sitting the same way.
I think I've had enough.
- Is that enough?
- Yes.
Where else should we go in New York?
I want to check out
the Empire Steak Building too.
- The Empire State Building.
- The Empire State Building.
The instrument shops are on 14th Street,
so we'll think about where to go
after getting inspiration there.
(His nose is running.)
Everyone said that you were so jacked
when I told them I was going with you.
(Getting it for him)
(Oh, my)
I actually felt burdened to help Kian84
experience things.
I've experienced New York
more than him.
There's Tompkins Square Park in Manhattan,
and there are a lot of artists.
There was a famous music store
- that's been around since the 1960s.
- I love that.
I heard that many well-known musicians
frequented the place.
He put a lot of effort
into helping you be inspired.
Let's go to the instrument shop first.
Yes, let's do that.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
(To the instrument store
for musical inspiration)
That was a perfect workout.
(They return to the dorm to wash up.)
(Sweaty)
Gosh.
He's so thick.
(He takes a refreshing shower first.)
(After freshening up,)
That feels good.
(they head to the instrument store.)
Let's get going.
It's ten in the morning?
It's hot.
- Hold on. We should take the subway.
- Yes.
- It's right nearby.
- Is it?
It said it was seven minutes away.
(He's gotten used to these streets
in 3 days now.)
An American subway station.
(Arriving at the American subway station)
(Sitting right next to Teo)
You look relaxed.
I felt reassured to have him there.
Man, I'm tired.
- Are you tired?
- I'll take a short nap.
- Sure.
- I'm sorry.
Maybe he worked out too hard.
(Checking if he's still alive)
(Taking a deep nap
next to the trustworthy brother)
(Bored)
(Looking over)
(I'm not lonely as long as I have Teo TV.)
- He's quite playful.
- He has fun by himself.
(While Teo is doing cute tricks,
Kian84 is sound asleep.)
- Goodness.
- He's deep asleep.
(They took the subway
for about 40 minutes.)
You had to cross the bridge.
All right!
(Arriving with a warm welcome)
Let's go.
(They climb up for a while.)
- Gosh.
- There. There's 34th Street.
- Look. Awesome.
- The Empire State Building.
- The Empire State Building.
- The Empire State Building?
(You can clearly see the skyscraper
from a distance.)
(The most well-known landmark in New York)
(Where the Empire State Building is)
Now, that's New York.
Located at the very center of New York,
Manhattan is known as the heart
of New York
and serves as the world's hub
for economy and culture.
It is home of the world-renowned
tourist attractions such as Times Square,
the Empire State Building,
and Central Park,
making it the most familiar area
for most travelers
visiting New York.
Bampari Steak Building.
"Steak Building."
He always says, "Steak."
It also feels different here.
Yes, it's called the West Village.
- It's an area for artists.
- Artists.
Since the 1960s,
blues and folk musicians
have emerged in that area.
It's a paradise for artists.
And the music store Here it is.
"Music Inn?" Is that an employee?
What?
There are many musicians
busking in front of the store.
(I see.)
Isn't that the place that's on the poster
of Music Adventure by Accident?
- Yes, that's the one.
- Yes.
That looks good.
Shall we go in?
(What's this place
that looks mysterious from the entrance?)
It'd be nice just to look around.
(Amazed)
(Thousands of instruments)
That's nice.
(Musical instruments
from all over the world)
That's fascinating.
(And collections of vinyl records)
(A place marked by the passage of time
since 1958)
It shows you the history of music.
(The younger one can't take his eyes off.)
(The older one is proud.)
I love that.
- Hi.
- Hello.
We're here to check out your store
because we heard
so many wonderful things about it.
- Welcome.
- Yes? Thank you.
Were there a lot of famous musicians
that came to visit?
John Lennon.
- John Lennon of the Beatles? Here?
- Yes.
Many times.
(The legendary musician, John Lennon)
- And Bob Dylan.
- Bob Dylan? Here?
Many times.
(And the king of folk, Bob Dylan)
It's like a shrine.
Paul Simon.
- Paul Simon.
- Paul Simon?
Paul Simon was a member
of a famous band
called Simon and Garfunkel.
I know Simon Dominic.
(All I know is Simon Dominic.)
(My pal, Simon Dominic)
- Your love for Simon.
- Kian84.
I love you.
To me, Simon Dominic is the best.
I love you.
What kind of instrument
are you looking for?
We're looking for something for him,
and he doesn't know
what he wants to play yet.
I thought I should buy
a small instrument while I was there.
- Right.
- Just one.
- There should be good energy too.
- Right.
What did you play in the past?
I played the castanets.
- Castanets.
- Castanets?
Castanets and the triangle.
- The triangle?
- Yes.
- The ones we played in school.
- The recorder.
- Recorder?
- Recorder.
They're what we played back in
middle school and elementary school.
- I see
- Is there anything else?
Right.
That's a tough assignment for the owner.
How about the kalimba?
- Kalimba?
- Kalimba?
- Where is the kalimba?
- It's downstairs.
- Downstairs? Okay.
- Downstairs?
- They must be a basement.
- It's huge.
(They go to the basement floor,
looking for the instrument.)
- Gosh.
- Look.
They have congas and bongos too.
There were so many instruments
that I had never seen before.
(The basement is also filled
with instruments from all over the world.)
Oh, that's the kalimba.
Kalimba!
(I see!)
- Do you want to try it?
- Yes.
(Dinging)
Kalimba?
- It sounds mysterious.
- Yes.
Let's check out other instruments too.
- They had that too?
- What is it?
- My love, the toad.
- What is it?
The toad is known
to bring you luck and wealth.
What is it?
Toad, look after me.
(The toad-shaped percussion was
his favorite.)
Apparently, scratching its back
brings you luck.
Really?
- I love this.
- Do you?
- Yes.
- You could use that for sound effects.
(He's being cautious
before making a final decision to buy.)
What the store owner told me was
exactly right.
I think I should buy this one.
(He finally buys the kalimba
that the owner recommended.)
For my boy Pani Bottle
I will buy the 75-dollar one
for you as well.
That was for Pani Bottle.
It's also a type of drum.
Who's the child you play with?
(He pays for the instruments
he carefully chose.)
It's 150 dollars in total.
Yes, I got it.
- It's 150 dollars.
- Yes, it's 150 dollars.
(The kalimba: 75 dollars,
The paper drum: 75 dollars)
- Thank you, Jeff.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Jeff.
- Thanks.
- It was very nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- It was very nice to meet you.
- Oh, yes.
Good luck in your life.
Let's go, Teo!
(Thanks to Teo, he got his instrument!)
Pani Bottle will love this, right?
Yes, for sure.
I usually don't look for details
before purchasing those things
and don't search either.
Without him,
I wouldn't have bought such things.
It's really like the "Music Adventure."
(The New York Brothers hit
the road again.)
(Where should we go?)
What about going to Times Square?
I've never been there before.
I never thought
I would see Times Square in this show.
I had never thought of that day's plan
- apart from visiting the music shop.
- Seriously?
He's never been there before,
He meant it.
so I thought it was a good idea.
- Yes, it's worth visiting at least once.
- Why not?
We had a quality time,
so I will take the lead.
Whatever is okay with me.
I usually don't like being a tourist,
but today
He finally goes to a tourist place!
He's kind of twitching now.
(Twitching)
Have you been here a few times before?
I've lived here for seven years
- but only came here twice.
- You mean in the whole period?
(Staring)
I see something rotating over there!
(It's a typical tourist spot in New York
full of splendor.)
I'd be goggle-eyed if I were there.
- Times Square!
- I now feel like they are in New York.
They are literally
in the center of Times Square.
- We are surrounded by advertisements!
- You're right.
Whatever ads you imagine, there were more.
(Fancy ads cover Kian84.)
(Let me see.)
(It's the best tourist spot
in New York)
(where so many tourists come.)
(He's not interested.)
(Hey, you think the same?)
(You too?)
I think we've seen enough.
- It's not that fun, isn't it?
- No, it's not fun at all.
The two are very similar.
I knew you wouldn't like it much.
- You wanted to go there.
- I did.
(Feeling awkward)
It was not enjoyable
as we've seen it so many times on TV.
You're right.
I just knew what was waiting for us.
I felt the same way too.
Because of you, Times Square,
I won't go to the Empire State Building
and the Statue of Liberty either.
It's all your fault, Times Square.
(He's just being grumpy
about Times Square.)
Let's go back to our hometown.
- Do you mean Brooklyn?
- Yes.
- I got it.
- It has become his hometown now.
This city took a lot of energy out of me.
We arrived in Brooklyn again.
This is the smell of the USA.
- We are finally in the USA again.
- People here are
- I also smell the true humanity here.
- Right.
Their facial expressions have changed.
I can finally take a breath.
Times Square, that kind of place
for celebrities, doesn't fit me.
Including the famous building,
the Empire State Building.
Full of snobs.
He said "full of snobs."
That made me angry.
(You're surely my brother.)
What's that?
(Startled)
(The sudden mysterious sound
made them startled.)
- Are they alright?
- Was there an accident?
(Getting serious)
- Oh, my gosh!
- Was it a gunshot?
(Almost panicked)
- It was a fireworks display. It's okay.
- It scared me.
- Gosh.
- Please.
(He swallowed nervously.)
Are you seriously a New Yorker?
He was scared the most.
- Gosh.
- Oh, my.
(No one around there was scared
like them.)
Surely, it's my hometown.
The entire city vibe reminds me
- of that in Wolmido.
- He said Wolmido.
It's the same fireworks display
in Wolmido.
- I was so scared.
- You too?
What would you like for lunch?
How about rice menus around here?
- Are you not up for ramyeon?
- That's good.
- We can buy some groceries in the market.
- Then
- That's cool.
- I got it.
A Korean supermarket!
(They came the supermarket
they visited yesterday.)
They even sell tteokbokki.
- There is kimchi too.
- Oh, there's kimchi!
Korean products are really in now.
There are different types of ramyeon!
This is good!
I feel so good seeing all of these.
They all look so yummy.
Take some rest in the room.
I will cook for you.
(Kian84 prepares the meal for Teo.)
(First, he opens all the ingredients.)
Okay.
(Onions)
(Ramyeon powder)
Spicy!
- Is that meat broth?
- I added a lot because it was too spicy.
(Is he going well without me?)
(He's fully focused,
not recognizing Teo's coming.)
It looks yummy.
(He's doing well.)
- What are you doing?
- Why?
- Oh, I didn't know you came.
- What are you doing?
(The roasted chicken is
directly put in the pot.)
I'm cooking.
Do you put chickens in ramyeon?
It's just a leg.
Because it was originally a chicken dish.
(This was originally a chicken dish.)
Teo, just count on me!
- Don't say you want some more later.
- "More?"
He just trusts him now.
Take some rest, please.
(He's full of confidence.)
He has a lot to say
but keeps silent for now.
(He just smiles.)
(The amount of topping is increasing
as Teo's doubt.)
I also added kimchi
to make the greasy taste away.
He adds a lot.
(He starts adding noodles too.)
(He even adds bunches of cilantro.)
- Did you wash it in water?
- Of course, I did.
This will be enough for now.
(Full of cilantro)
It looks so good.
I will put it here.
(Kian84's special ramyeon is complete.)
It's cilantro-kimchi ramyeon.
It has become like fried noodles.
(It's cilantro, chicken, onions, chili,
and kimchi ramyeon.)
- Thank you for the treat.
- Sure.
(Kian84 takes a bunch
of ramyeon noodles)
(and tries it first.)
(Impressed)
- Is this really what I cooked?
- Does it taste good?
(Teo tries it too.)
We need to focus on his reaction.
(How is it, Teo?)
It tastes good.
(It's good!)
(He feels relieved.)
My mouth is watering again.
(They are having a good meal time
together.)
I feel good as you like my dish.
Among all the dishes I had in the USA,
- this is the best.
- I agree.
(They are fully trenched in ramyeon.)
Why did I wear white clothing?
- The soup splashed in all directions.
- It all splashed?
But dirty clothing has been
somewhat attractive recently.
Is that so?
(Sorry?)
(To maintain his popularity,
his clothing is dirty again today.)
- If you are done,
- Yes?
go upstairs and take a shower.
And get some sleep.
I will clean things here.
- Seriously?
- Yes, I will.
- I'm going upstairs, then.
- Sure, please.
Get some rest.
It's time to take over the role.
It's better to wash the dishes
immediately.
For sure.
(As Teo took care of doing the dishes,
he came back to the room.)
The ramyeon was amazing!
(He takes off his clothing right away.)
(Slapping)
I have a lot of belly fat.
(He's fighting against his belly fat.)
(Go inside, my belly!)
(But the belly never gives in.)
(Sighing)
What's he doing?
(He's squeezing his belly
to make a six-pack.)
(Yes, this is it!)
(Feeling satisfied, he lies down.)
(My precious six-pack)
(He does the last step to squeeze.)
(One, two)
(Here, he also goes
for 1 and 2 movements.)
They have a lot in common.
(You're surely my brother.)
It's done!
(He finished doing the dishes
while exercising.)
(He's very proud of what he's done.)
(It's done.)
The meal was very good.
It was amazing.
It was so good!
Why did I do that?
(He even shows his teeth, feeling good.)
So fresh and so clean!
You don't remember what you did, then.
- I don't remember that.
- He doesn't!
It was good!
(The clean Teo comes back.)
- You liked the ramyeon?
- It was so good.
What a relief!
Let's go!
(It's time
to enjoy the nightlife of New York.)
Gosh.
So, it's time
- to go and watch the metal performance.
- "Metal?"
- "Metal?"
- "Metal?"
It's heavy metal in English.
"Heavy metal."
- You know them?
- It's my favorite musician.
I like metal!
Oh, that's pretty cool. It's in Brooklyn.
- Oh, they showed that.
- Yes.
- It's a metal band.
- I see.
You should go see them
if you're interested.
(I'm also a fan of metal!)
I've never seen a performance
of a heavy metal band.
It's my first time as well.
- We will see what heavy metal is.
- He will feel the energy of the metal.
- Gosh.
- Oh, my.
That looks good!
- Goodness.
- That looks good!
There's another party.
(Laughing)
Everyone is enjoying a party here.
(Just like Cooper Family's Block Party)
They're having parties
even in the sunlight.
It's because that date was
the Independence Day.
That burst up again, right?
Yes, it did.
Why do they burst so often?
I guess they burst them on purpose
because it's summer.
- On purpose?
- I'm not sure.
(The hydrant is open
in summer in reality.)
My goodness.
They can open it.
It's a Water Bomb in New York.
It feels refreshing to look at it.
(With the water from the hydrant,)
(people cool off.)
Look at those cars stopping
to be bathed in water.
That's cute.
They pass it by like it's a car wash.
It's a free car wash.
(The New York brothers
approach the Water Bomb.)
The water pressure is quite strong.
I guess it would hurt.
(Ouch)
(The strong pressure makes Teo run away.)
(Kian84 isn't scared and strides ahead.)
(It feels just right.)
Here I go.
(Screaming)
(He sticks his head out.)
I really wanted to do that.
(Flat-faced)
The pressure is too strong.
- It's too strong.
- Goodness.
It almost blew my head away.
As I pushed my face ahead,
it felt like
a straight right punch hit me.
"A straight right punch".
It woke me up.
Kian84 is a different man
whenever he sees water.
I heard that I like water
because I have earth in my fortune.
I guess that's why we have good chemistry.
I like going to the mountains because
I have a lot of water in my fortune.
- Do you?
- They say I need to find water.
Goodness, their fortunes are related.
- Is that true, Teo?
- Yes.
I hope it works out with the two of you.
- I hope so too.
- What are you saying?
You two look good together.
That's awesome.
(The block party is in full swing.)
Every block is having a party.
(You should join us.)
(But I'm Cooper Family.)
Look at Teo.
(Rapper 84 is loyal.)
(Teo's dance has so much soul.)
- Look at his foot moves.
- Teo is proud of his dance.
(The New York brothers
have good chemistry.)
(Come here, Bro.)
That's awesome.
- Shall we join them?
- Shall we?
(They decide to go where the music is.)
What family are they?
- "What family are they?"
- I know.
- "I'm Cooper Family."
- Yes, Cooper Family.
- Hey, how is it going?
- Come on, Bro.
What's up? You're in New York, man.
They're Latin American.
It feels different from Cooper block.
It's a Latin American block.
- It's a Latin American block.
- That's right.
It's amazing. Every block consists of
different races and countries.
- Do you know how to dance?
- Do you know how to dance?
- Do you know how to dance?
- Do you know how to dance?
- Dance?
- Come on.
Excuse me.
(A dance ceremony right away)
Cooper, I'm sorry.
He says sorry to the Cooper Family.
- Let's go.
- Yes.
(I'm dancing too.)
(A full-fledged dance party)
(He gets Cooper Family
out of his head for the moment)
(and focuses on dancing with the lady.)
I felt I was a traitor.
They're just neighborhood residents
having a meal outside, of course.
Still, I felt like, "I shouldn't do this."
(However, he can't stop shaking his body.)
(Pleased)
- Come on!
- Come here!
His dance moves are relaxed.
(An excellent turn)
He's leading the lady.
(In fact, this dancer)
What's that?
- Wait.
- That's
- Oh, my gosh. Where did you get this?
- Wait.
- Were you a dancer, Teo?
- Wait a minute.
- That's
- What's that?
(A stylish wave)
- What's that?
- Oh, my goodness.
He's a good dancer.
Isn't that Park Jin Young?
The video has a lasting impression.
- Him doing this.
- I know. Seung Hoon, you're good.
- You're good, Seung Hoon.
- Nice!
Gosh, come on.
Did you learn how to dance?
Did you train yourself to be an idol?
Although I lived in Germany,
most of my friends were immigrants,
and I grew up in a hip-hop culture
from America.
You absorbed it naturally.
Yes, and I was a breakdancer
among my friends.
(The former breakdancer)
(is still alive.)
(He adapts to the rhythm quickly.)
His groove is distinguished.
That's very nice.
(Dancing enthusiastically)
Do like this!
(The former breakdancer
is good at Latin dance too.)
They all fell for Teo's charm.
(What do you think about my dance?)
(All right)
(Each of them is lost in dancing.)
Gosh, my eyes are burning.
The smoke is burning my eyes.
The meat is burning!
- They're busy dancing.
- The meat is burning!
(The burnt smell fills the air.)
Flip the meat!
- Flip the meat!
- They're busy dancing.
(It's all right.)
Flip the meat. It's burning.
Is it okay that you flip the meat?
No one was doing it.
He's like a part-timer
in a barbecue restaurant.
Who's in charge of the meat?
(You're in charge.)
It's burning.
(Smiling)
This is fire!
- You know about that, right? Steak.
- Yes, steak.
- It's in a good shape.
- Yes.
I knew what it was, but it was burning.
- "I knew what it was."
- It looks like LA-style ribs.
(The pride of the whiz kid of English
is hurt.)
Everyone is happy
that you're grilling the meat.
They don't know the meat is burning
since they're busy dancing.
Teo, but I can't stay here long.
- Is it too loud for you?
- It's because I have my family.
This is betraying the Cooper Family.
He's building walls.
(Cooper84 suddenly came to his senses.)
- Bye!
- Happy Fourth of July.
Have a good day!
- Two minutes.
- Two minutes?
Everybody back to here,
it's all your people.
- A lot of people are here.
- People?
What's the people's group name?
Everybody's group right here.
- Right at this building
- This building and this building.
They're just residents from this street.
The neighbors gathered together.
They don't have a name for the group.
(Do you want to dance?)
(Let's dance!)
He's excited.
(Excited)
(The gang member is antsy.)
(The dancer wouldn't stop.)
- Nice.
- Do you want to stay?
Nice meeting you. I'm going.
Cooper Family will be upset
if they see me here.
I should leave right now.
He's loyal.
(The gang member is very loyal.)
I guess Teo feels comfortable there.
He's so into it.
(The independent dancer
is absorbed in dancing.)
I guess they have a gathering
to enjoy Independence Day.
They definitely have Latin blood.
They're completely different
from Cooper Family Kian84 met yesterday.
Their sentiment resonates with me more.
In the past, I was always related to
Latin American people
who immigrated to America.
Every morning, Puerto Rican immigrants
played Latin American
hip-hop music loudly,
and I used to greet my neighbors.
I got close to them
as I greeted them every day.
I love the feeling of being
in the neighborhood
and the family.
I felt it again this time.
So I loved it.
I loved it when they gave me
a warm welcome.
Amazingly, they're all so warmhearted.
No. As I'm Cooper Family,
I can't betray them.
Being Cooper Family, I'll stay away.
This is how a war begins.
If I betray them,
my shoes will be hung on the wire.
That's a horrible thing to say!
And yesterday, I put Brooklyn in my heart.
(Brooklyn)
I put it in my heart,
taking Gwacheon and Seoul out.
You!
(Meanwhile)
- Chicharron.
- Chicharron, yes.
- Thank you.
- The best here.
Teo is in another gang now.
- This tastes good.
- Chewy, firey.
So good.
Who pays for all this?
- We all chip in.
- Is that so?
Like 20 dollars.
Can I chip in too?
- No, you guys, no.
- No?
You're here, you already paid the price.
It's all right.
- We love it.
- I respect that.
So you were born and raised here?
I was born in the Dominican Republic,
but I came here when I was a baby
like 4 or 5.
So you're all from South America,
like all the people?
- Dominican.
- Dominican.
Dominican and Puerto Rican friends,
you know, we're all cool.
What's wrong?
Cooper Family doesn't hang out there.
"A man who isn't cool".
VSOP City, Bing Nation,
Toox.
I won't betray my gang.
(I won't betray my gang.)
It's a family.
They're ordinary citizens.
(Loyal84 only thanks about the gang.)
(Glancing)
Teo must get along with that gang.
(Curious)
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
(Walking over sneakily)
Do you know Cooper?
- Cooper?
- "Cooper?" Do you mean Cooper Street?
- Yes, Cooper Street.
- Yes.
I'm from Cooper Street.
(Okay.)
What now?
Are you friends with the Cooper Family?
Yes, we have no problems with them.
Since they're friends,
this gang must be
allied with my gang.
Then it's all right. We're allies.
Yes. I got permission.
We are allies.
(After checking they are allies,)
(he takes a seat.)
Gosh.
I thought
we were enemies and acted carefully.
(Feeling awkward)
He must think of himself
as a gang member or something.
(Laughing)
I was just having fun.
Kian84 must feel a stronger bond
with the Cooper Family
because they were the first townspeople.
But the fact that you can feel
the affection in any town is important.
Thank you.
(Affection)
They're opening their hearts
and being nice
- to the strangers simply passing by.
- Right?
Regardless of who you are,
they welcome everyone.
Where are they from?
Puerto Rico and Venezuela.
They're immigrants.
On holidays,
they quite often have a barbeque party
for the neighbors and invite everyone
to hang around.
- All the townspeople gather?
- Yes.
(The immigrants gather and bond together
in the foreign country.)
(Foreigners have settled
in a block of South America.)
(Another foreigner is deep in thought.)
Overall, here's what I felt.
The streets from 1 to 6
and the avenue from 1 to 6 in New York.
Each block is rectangular,
like a chess board.
In each block
In one block,
South Americans gather and hold parties.
In another block is the Cooper Family.
Numerous people from who knows where
have gathered in each block
and held parties.
(Another world by foreigners in a block)
When the dandelion seeds travel
in the air,
you never know where it'll take root.
Like that, these people
from all around the world
have taken root here.
(The foreigners took root
like dandelion seeds.)
That's the biggest thing
I felt in New York.
How should I put it?
Dandelion territory.
Yes, it was a dandelion territory.
That was when I got my inspiration.
(A unheard song?)
What?
My gosh.
(Is it Kian84's voice?)
- What's this?
- My goodness.
- Is this the song?
- It's nice.
The song is nice.
- Wait.
- They used his song.
("Dandelion" by Kian84)
(I'm going on an adventure by accident)
(To find the melody I've forgotten)
(Where are you from? How's this place?)
(Is it a good place to take root?)
(I haven't found it yet)
(I'm in the air with no roots)
(A completely different place,
an unknown land)
(Unexpected flowers are everywhere)
(The flowers that took root
on the chessboard)
(Sing)
(Yes, I'm leaving to look for novelty)
(In a place nobody goes to)
(I'm going on an adventure by accident)
(To find the melody I've forgotten)
(Dreaming of becoming a singer
by accident)
(The inspirations he got
from experiencing everything)
(His trip became music
and was created into the first song.)
("Dandelion" by Kian84)
(Amazed)
- Now
- Wait. The song is
- The lyrics were great. It's nice.
- The song makes you happy.
The song was played after we watched
- the story of your trip.
- Yes.
- It made the song more special.
- Is that so?
You're now singer Kian84, right?
- No.
- Songwriter Kian84.
Gosh, no.
- What's the title?
- "Dandelion."
- "Dandelion?"
- It's cute.
Good. "Dandelion" is nice.
If I'm asked to sing at an event.
- Did you already think that far?
- If it's
Yeoju Rice Festival
or something like that,
- Gosh.
- Yes?
I will change the title to "Rice Seed."
- "Rice Seed?"
- To match the region?
- How can you change the title?
- I was just joking.
I added my personal life to the lyrics.
I lived in Suwon, Seongnam,
Gangwon Province, Seoul,
Gwacheon, and more.
Either way, I'm still wandering around
without a family.
- I haven't
- You haven't taken root?
- settled down yet.
- You haven't settled down.
I wrote that.
Along the trip,
- I didn't stop writing.
- The lyrics?
I wrote whatever came to my mind.
Then I sent it to the songwriter in Korea.
That was during the whole trip.
- So you kept communicating with them.
- Yes.
The song will be released
at 6 p.m. the day this episode airs,
right?
- Yes.
- I'm nervous.
You'll be watching it right now.
Please listen to the song
when it's released.
- "Dandelion."
- People will. It's a nice song.
How embarrassing.
Have a nice day!
(The traveler leaves again
like dandelion seeds.)
Have a good day.
- Without a doubt, I like South America.
- Is that so?
They're so warmhearted,
and the music is amazing.
- I'm happy that you felt how I felt
- Cooper Family?
with the Cooper Family, Teo.
Though it was short.
- Really?
- Yes.
(Going deeper into New York
for another inspiration)
(Death metal?)
(They're invited
to a secret gathering in the dark?)
(Music? No, it's a fight!)
(A wild festival
that takes one's soul out)
(Inspire me!)
(I'm here!)
(To make Kian84's singer dream come true)
(The almighty guide, Pani Bottle)
(Into the nature of central US
to get musical inspiration)
I'm really excited.
(A party to practice vocals?)
(Teo, possessed by a rocker's soul)
(Mad84 who won't lose)
(Vocal training
by the out-of-the-ordinary brothers)
(Help me.)
(Ignoring him)
(Come here!)
(Who would dive as vocal training?)
(I don't care anymore.)
(The wild Underwear Bottle returns!)
(Awakening)
(Training complete)
(The three US vocalist brothers')
(messed up harmony. Will they be okay?)
