SHY
A WARM RECEPTION AT DANJANG
A MUSIC STUDENT AT BERKLEE,
A WORLD-RENOWNED COLLEGE!
WHAT IS THIS MUSIC STUDENT DOING HERE?
OH!
K-STYLE IS NOW FAMOUS WORLDWIDE?
WHAT STYLE DOES THIS
BERKLEE MUSIC STUDENT WANT?
WHAT STYLE DOES JOAQUIN WANT TO TRY OUT?
KPOP DEMON HUNTERS!
JOAQUIN, A BORN-TO-BE NEW YORKER
VOCALIST IN A BAND
HE ENDED UP WATCHING KPOP DEMON HUNTERS
THE FIRST K-POP BASED ANIMATED FILM
MADE OUTSIDE OF KOREA
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
JOAQUIN'S K-POP TRANSFORMATION
JOAQUIN'S BEAUTY WISH:
I WANT TO TRY K-POP IDOL-STYLE MAKEUP
WHAT WOULD JOAQUIN LOOK LIKE
AS A K-POP IDOL?
BEFORE THE TRANSFORMATION,
IT'S SHAMPOO TIME
HE LOOKS COMPLETELY DIFFEREN
WITHOUT THE GLASSES
A PRETTY BOY HIDING BEHIND HIS GLASSES
RECLINER GOING DOWN
HIS HEAD IS TOUCHING THE TAP
HE SCOOTS DOWN
NOW THE CHAIR IS TOO SHOR
UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM,
HE'S TOO TALL FOR THIS CHAIR
FEET DANGLING
WHILE HE GETS SHAMPOOED
You can eat now, Min-young.
We got some gimbap earlier.
-We have a bit of time to ourselves.
-Yes.
A SHORT BREAK AFTER JOAQUIN
I should eat some gimbap now,
-before it gets busy.
-That sounds good.
We'll only get busier from now on,
so it'd be best to eat our lunch now.
TAKING A MOUTHFUL OF GIMBAP
Do you want the sauce?
MIN-YOUNG TAKES A BITE TOO
We have vegan sauce too.
-No, it's okay.
-Okay.
He's young, right?
Yes, and he's a musician too.
Berklee College of Music, right?
-Yes.
-That's awesome.
That's really cool.
I've never met anyone from Berklee before.
First time seeing a Berklee music student.
THE BERKLEE MUSIC STUDENT IS DONE
-My timing was perfect.
-It was.
THE REAL MAKEOVER IS ABOUT TO BEGIN
MAKEUP
LEO IS IN CHARGE OF JOAQUIN'S MAKEUP
SINCE HE'S LEO'S FIRST MALE CLIENT,
HE'S BEING EXTRA CAREFUL
MOISTURIZING
GOOD!
THE K-GLOW IS FOR EVERYONE,
REGARDLESS OF GENDER OR RACE
WHILE JOAQUIN IS GETTING HIS SKINCARE
THE NEXT CLIENT IS ALREADY HERE?
STARTS BY GREETING HER
Welcome to DANJANG.
WHO IS THIS CLIENT?
FLIPPING THROUGH THE RESERVATION LIS
PRETENDING NOT TO BE FLUSTERED
JOAQUIN VISITED DANJANG ALONE, BUT
APPARENTLY, SHE TOLD HIM
SHE'S TAKING SOMETHING ELSE
ANNOYED
YOU'RE ALREADY LATE, MOM
ACTUALLY, HIS MOM WAS JUST LATE
IT'S LATE, BUT SHE CAME
CURIOUS HOW HER SON'S DOING
FAMILY MEMBER OF ANOTHER CLIEN
YES, THAT'S MY SON
PROUD
SHE HAS A QUESTION FOR JONG-HYUK
SHE WANTS TO HURRY AND SEE
HER SON'S TRANSFORMATION
A CHIC IDOL OR A CUTE IDOL?
A CHIC IDOL
HE'S COMPLETELY OPEN
WHEN IT COMES TO BEAUTY
When you think of idols,
you immediately think of burgundy, right?
They wear reddish makeup
that looks dreamy and ethereal.
BURGUNDY MAKEUP
Their eyes seem to be glowing,
as if they're about to cast a spell.
They look mystical.
ENCHANTING AND SEXY AT THE SAME TIME
You can't help but be drawn to them.
Look forward, please.
IN FACT, LEO'S AN OLD HAND AT THIS STYLE
This is Min-hyuk's
grim reaper look.
How does it look?
SAJA BOYS-STYLE BURGUNDY MAKEUP
I thought Joaquin might like that.
LET'S DO THIS K-POP IDOL MAKEUP!
LEO CHOOSES A NATURAL BUT CHIC
BURGUNDY MAKEUP LOOK
STARTING WITH THE COLORS
PINK AND BROWN EYESHADOWS
ARE GENTLY APPLIED ALL OVER HIS EYELIDS
FOCUSED
RED?
UPON SEEING THE RED EYESHADOW
HE CLASPS HIS HANDS NERVOUSLY
CROSSED ARMS BUT AN OPEN HEAR
LEO'S SCIENCE LAB?
APPLYING A RED EYESHADOW
ALONG THE LASHLINE
THE NATURAL BURGUNDY SHADE
ENHANCES THE ETHEREALNESS
AN ANDROGYNOUS LOOK
A VAMPIRE LOOK
K-IDOL MAKEUP COMPLETE
HAPPY WITH HOW NATURAL IT IS
A CHARACTER FROM THE MOVIE
SATISFIED
BEING RIDICULOUS
IDOL MAKEUP SUITS HIM SO WELL
FINISHING TOUCHES
-You're making him even sexier?
-Yes.
A SEXY LIP
-You're having fun, aren't you?
-Totally. It's so easy.
You're just doing it
for personal enjoyment now, aren't you?
LEO IS ENJOYING DOING MAKEUP
ON HIS IDOL JOAQUIN
I'm done.
MAKEUP COMPLETE
-He looks like Jinu.
-Oh, Jinu!
THERE'S AN IDOL IN DANJANG
What kind of hairstyle
would you like today?
Do you have anything in mind?
HE'S OPEN TO ANY HAIRSTYLE AS WELL
Doing Joaquin's hair was really hard.
At first, I found it too hard,
and I liked his original hair anyway.
I even wondered what stylist he went to,
because I liked his hairstyle so much.
But he wanted a change.
So I decided I'd give him
a K-style hair makeover.
PLANNING TO STRAIGHTEN HIS HAIR
BEFORE STYLING I
I'M OKAY WITH ANYTHING
MISUNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION
NOT AT DANJANG, BUT IN TOTAL
-Oh, my career?
-Yes.
It's been
How do you say "25 years"?
JONG-HYUK HELPS OU
And my age is 45 years old.
Handsome and kind you're perfect.
You must be AI, not human.
A VERY FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE
FULL OF COMPLIMENTS
WE'LL SEE WHAT HE WANTS TO DO
I'M PROUD OF MY SON, BUT
ALL MOTHERS AND SONS
CAN RELATE TO THIS FEELING
EVEN MAKING A RESERVATION FOR HER SON
MAKING PLANS FOR A DATE WITH HER SON
AS SHE WAITS
His hair looks great
with this messy style.
MEANWHILE, HER SON JOAQUIN IS
SWEEP
WAX
A WILD STYLING TECHNIQUE
BUT HIS MOM MADE A RESERVATION
AT A RESTAURANT
-He looks great.
-He looks so sophisticated.
THEY CAN'T STOP COMPLIMENTING HIM
In Korean, we'd say, "jal-saeng-gyeotta."
-It's very true. "Handsome."
-"Handsome."
So handsome.
-He's handsome.
-Yeah, exactly.
Can you ask him if he gets that a lot?
I knew it. You already knew.
EVERYONE'S LAUGHING
MOM'S TIRED OF WAITING
WHEN CAN I SEE MY SON?
DOES JOAQUIN REALLY
LOOK LIKE A K-POP IDOL?
That's really something else.
ACTS LIKE SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE HIM
AN UNBRIDGEABLE DISTANCE
TIME TO REVEAL JOAQUIN, THE K-POP IDOL
WAITING WITH HER EYES CLOSED
HERE HE COMES!
WHAT WILL JOAQUIN LOOK LIKE
AS A K-POP IDOL?
THEY'RE EXCITED TOO
SHE'S EXCITED AS WELL
SMILING WIDELY
JOAQUIN, A YOUNG MUSIC LOVER
BECOMES A K-POP IDOL!
THE CLASSIC K-POP IDOL LOOK
Reddish makeup
that looks dreamy and ethereal.
AFTER THE ETHEREAL MAKEUP
IT'S TIME FOR A TRENDY K-IDOL HAIRSTYLE
This is the most popular hairstyle
for idols.
They do this a lot for photoshoots.
PROFESSIONALLY AND CAREFULLY,
CHA HONG CREATES JOAQUIN'S NEW LOOK
HE'S TRANSFORMED
INTO A NEW YORK K-POP IDOL
HEARTS IN HER EYES
-Oh my God.
-He was already perfect.
CRACKING UP
SHE MEANS I
COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED INTO AN IDOL
I want to have a son as handsome as him.
-Don't your cheekbones hurt?
-They do.
TIME FOR JOAQUIN THE HEARTTHROB
TO HEAD OU
THE FIRST MALE CLIENT GOES HOME SATISFIED
So cute.
DANJANG
We should have some gimbap here.
-Do we have it?
-It's here.
A LATE LUNCH FOR CHA HONG
-Tofu gimbap? Thank you.
-It's vegan.
Here's the sauce. It's vegan too.
They have sauce with gimbap here?
Thank you.
I'll eat slowly
so I don't get indigestion.
CHEWING SLOWLY
-Why? Are they still here?
-Yes.
You'll finally be able to rest.
-You didn't eat yet?
-No.
I was waiting.
HE WAITED UNTIL EVERYONE ELSE ATE FIRS
Don't eat too quickly.
THE LAST TO EAT LUNCH
It's really delicious, by the way.
Really?
It tastes like
nothing I've eaten in Korea.
TALKING ABOUT MEETING JOAQUIN
You know, with that boy from before,
-I talked to him in horrible English,
-Joaquin.
but he understood everything.
He's the handsomest man I've ever seen.
-He really is, isn't he?
-No kidding.
It's not right to be that handsome.
-It's exhausting.
-What are the rest of us supposed to do?
Look at Jong-hyuk.
His life must be so comfortable.
Being too handsome
is kind of selfish, you know?
HAHA
JUST THEN, TWO PEOPLE APPROACH DANJANG
Who else didn't eat?
THEY'RE STILL TAKING A BREAK
The makeup artists?
-Pony already ate.
-Oh, she did?
Yes, earlier.
THE NEXT CLIENTS ARE HERE
Are they here already?
One yakgwa and this, coming up.
Green tea and omija tea?
Thank you.
LAUGHING
KATIE'S KOREAN DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
THE ARTISTS LOOK
SO PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETEN
TODAY'S CLIENT HAS
A BRIGHT AND YOUTHFUL SPIRI
FORMALLY INTRODUCES HERSELF
CHECKING HER NAME TAG
ACTRESS KATIE'S STORY
KATIE
KATIE IS GETTING READY FOR HER SECOND AC
LOOK AT MY GRANDKID!
ARE THERE ANY MORE PICTURES TO SHARE?
THESE CUTIES HAVE BECOME
THE CENTER OF KATIE'S WORLD
ASKS THE LOVING GRANDMA
ABOUT WHAT LOOK SHE WOULD LIKE
I'LL LEAVE IT TO YOU
KATIE'S BEAUTY WISH:
A NEW LOOK FOR A NEW PROFILE PICTURE
WILL KATIE'S NEW LOOK
HELP LAUNCH HER SECOND CAREER?
THE FIRST STEP TOWARD
KICKSTARTING HER CAREER AGAIN
IF YOU'RE READY,
WE'LL START WITH THE MAKEUP
TO THE MAKEUP PARTY ROOM
TODAY'S PARTY PLANNER IS LEOJ
OVER HERE!
PARTY ANIMALS GREETING EACH OTHER
This is great.
-You're perfect for each other.
-Exactly.
THE DANCE PARTY BRIDGES
THE 40-YEAR AGE GAP
THEY DO SHARE THE SAME NAME
HE ASKS ABOUT HER PREFERENCES
BEFORE THEY BEGIN
KATIE THINKS FOR A MOMEN
HE'S UNDERSTOOD THE CLIENT'S NEEDS
STARTING WITH A K-CUSHION FOUNDATION
AS PER USUAL
WRINKLED SKIN HAS TO BE
LIGHTLY COVERED BY A BRUSH
AND THEN TOUCHED UP WITH A PUFF
EVEN WITH JUST THE BASE MAKEUP
ALL THE WRINKLES HAVE BEEN COVERED UP
The point was not to make it
too dramatic or artificial.
That's what K-beauty is about, right?
So when I was attaching her eyelashes,
I didn't want to make them
too dense or exaggerated.
I used three light, natural lashes on her.
HE USED THREE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER
CAREFULLY ATTACHING THEM ONE BY ONE
LEO'S EYE FOR DETAIL
REALLY MADE THE DIFFERENCE
I felt like I was there
to support her passion from her old days,
and to cheer her on
with her new beginning.
LOOK FORWARD TO KATIE'S TRANSFORMATION!
CURRENT TIME
3:30 P.M.
WHO IS DANJANG'S NEXT CLIENT?
-Welcome.
-Hello.
Welcome to DANJANG.
THE FIRST INDIAN NEW YORKER
TO VISIT DANJANG
HER OLDER COUSIN
INTRODUCING THE OTHER EMPLOYEES
SURPRISED AT MIN-YOUNG'S GLOWING BEAUTY
STRAIGHT TO THE WAITING AREA
STARING INTENTLY
MIN-YOUNG'S BEAUTY
IS PART OF THE CUSTOMER SERVICE
MIN-YOUNG HAS GOTTEN THEIR ORDERS
CEO RA GIVES HER A GOWN
CONSULTATION
WHO IS THIS GIRL WITH A TAN?
SONAM'S FAVORITE K-DRAMA
A SELF-PROCLAIMED K-DRAMA FAN
MANAGER PARK ASKS ABOU
HER STYLE PREFERENCES
SHE WANTS SOME FLASHY EYE MAKEUP
SONAM'S BEAUTY WISH:
AN ELEGANT K-DRAMA LOOK
WHAT WILL SONAM LOOK LIKE
AFTER THE MAKEOVER?
Pony.
TIME FOR THE MAKEOVER
MAKEUP
She just came back from Portugal,
where she was on vacation.
So she'd like you to
make her skin a bit brighter.
She also likes to focus on the eyes
for a more glamorous look.
Glamorous?
-Okay, got it.
-Yes.
-Remember to focus on her eyes.
-Okay, I see.
-Give her some tips too.
-Okay, sure.
LOOKING AT HER EVERYDAY PHOTOS
You look lighter in these.
SHE'S SAD ABOUT HOW TAN SHE GO
OVER HER VACATION
LET'S PREP THE SKIN FIRS
THERE ARE ALSO SOME AREAS OF DISCOLORATION
AROUND THE EYES AND THE MOUTH
HMM
Will it match?
SHE WANTS HER SKIN TO LOOK BRIGH
GLANCES
TANNED SKIN AND DISCOLORATION
In Sonam's case,
I focused on one thing only.
Color correcting.
There were areas of discoloration
around her eyes
and her mouth.
Color correcting is where
you use complementary colors
to smooth out the skin tone.
CHECKING HER SKIN TONE ONE MORE TIME
SHE STARTS RUMMAGING THROUGH HER DRAWERS
LIPSTICK?
WHY LIPSTICK?
AND A CHOCOLATE-COLORED CONCEALER?
IT'S AN INTERESTING COMBINATION
If you use the wrong color,
the brown spots you want to correct
end up looking gray instead.
So I used a dark
chocolate-colored concealer,
a little bit of a MLBB lipstick,
and my usual correcting palette.
MIXING THEM ALL TOGETHER
WILL THESE THREE PRODUCTS MIXED TOGETHER
COVER UP HER SKIN IN A NATURAL WAY?
THE BAGS UNDER HER EYES DISAPPEARED
COVERING THE OTHER SIDE TOO
HAPPY WITH PONY'S PERFECT COLOR MATCHING
EVENING OUT THE SKIN TONE
AS FOR THE FOUNDATION,
PONY MIXED THREE DIFFERENT COLORS AGAIN
MIXING IT ALL TOGETHER
CREATING THE PERFECT COLOR
HOW WILL IT LOOK ON SONAM?
And then
Instead of using
the same color as her skin,
I tried to go lighter
to meet the client's needs.
CREATING THE PERFECT COLOR
FOR THE CLIENT'S NEEDS
NATURAL BASE MAKEUP COMPLETE
BUT
THE MORE I LOOK AT IT
HER SKIN TONE LOOKS FLAWLESS
SONAM'S AMAZING TRANSFORMATION
WILL CONTINUE
WHO ELSE IS HERE?
Welcome.
Welcome to DANJANG.
THE YOUNGEST GRANDDAUGHTER
Nice to meet you.
Yes, that's when the photoshoot is.
What time?
IT'S ALREADY 4 P.M.
-Thank you.
-Gonna check that.
IT NEEDS TO BE FINISHED IN 30 MINUTES!
MI-RAN'S HERE TO INFORM THE TEAM
ABOUT THE TIME CONSTRAIN
THE HAIR AND MAKEUP TEAM IS WORKING HARD
GAUGING
Are we out of time?
Does she need to leave soon?
She has another appointment.
She has to shoot her profile picture soon.
-Is the makeup done?
-Not yet.
Can I fix her bangs?
Do we still have time?
LEO IS SUDDENLY VERY BUSY
She still has a bit of time left.
I was so
In that moment, right then and there,
I felt a big surge of panic.
Because of her age,
teardrops kept forming
in the corners of her eyes.
And the tears would get into the wrinkles
and smear the black eyeshadow
again and again.
Not only that,
but it kept mixing with the other colors
and creating this huge smudge.
I was so scared
because she had the photoshoot after.
I thought this might ruin the whole look.
LEO IS IN BIG TROUBLE
How am I going to fix this?
WHAT IS HIS SOLUTION?
But you know,
you have to be bold in moments like that.
I used a wet wipe to erase everything,
and used my fingers to apply
two colors to her eyes.
The base color and the accent color.
Then I wiped the rest.
Thankfully, the colors stayed on.
I felt so relieved. Thank goodness.
USING HIS FINGERTIPS AND ONLY TWO COLORS
CRISIS AVERTED
I'm exhausted.
IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR HER TO LEAVE
Grandma is coming out.
LUCKILY, THEY WERE ABLE TO FINISH IN TIME
A LITTLE NERVOUS
BIG BREATH!
She's coming out now.
BACK TO HER BELOVED FAMILY
KATIE STRUTS ALONG CONFIDENTLY
SHE WAS ONCE AN ACTRESS
BUT HER CAREER WAS CUT OFF FOR A WHILE
NOW, AT 72 YEARS OLD,
SHE'S READY TO BEGIN AGAIN
A GLAMOROUS TRANSFORMATION
INTO A SENIOR ACTRESS
OF COURSE, SHE GOES STRAIGHT TO
HER BELOVED FAMILY!
KATIE'S SECOND AC
BEGINS NOW
WITH HER GORGEOUS TRANSFORMATION
Q. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NEXT?
SHE LOOKS SO CONFIDENT AFTER HER MAKEOVER
CHEERING HER ON
SMILING
PROFILE PICTURE UPDATED
FOR HER SUCCESSFUL SECOND AC
AFTER SENDING OFF KATIE'S FAMILY,
WHERE IS CHA HONG HEADED?
TO PONY'S ROOM
I'm Cha Hong, your hairdresser today.
HERE FOR YOUR K-ACTRESS MAKEOVER
I heard that you wanted straight hair.
STARE
She's so pretty.
Right?
I'M ALSO THANKFUL
I WANT HER TO LOVE HER HAIR TOO
I'll start straightening.
-I'll start straightening, okay?
-All right.
TO SAVE TIME, THEY'RE DOING
HAIR AND MAKEUP AT THE SAME TIME
What is your go-to eyeliner makeup?
THICKER, BUT STILL NATURAL
TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE NATURAL,
SMUDGE THE LINE WITH EYESHADOW
HER EYES STAND OUT EVEN MORE
THE CLIENT IS 100% SATISFIED
A WINGED EYELINER
COMPLETELY CHANGES UP THE MOOD
HER EYES LOOK CLEARER AND DEEPER NOW
IT'S A FIRST FOR BOTH OF THEM
MEANWHILE, CHA HONG IS WORKING HARD
AT STRAIGHTENING SONAM'S HAIR
The reason why
I wanted to straighten her hair
wasn't only because she wanted it.
I could see that she had
too much volume in her hair
compared to the size of her face,
which made her head look bigger.
So I wanted to create a sleeker style
by straightening her hair
with a slight curl at the end.
Usually, do you straighten your hair?
This hair iron doesn't hurt your hair much
and makes your hair really shiny.
FROM A CURLY, VOLUMINOUS HAIRSTYLE
TO AN ELEGANT AND SLEEK HAIRSTYLE
AS CHA HONG WRAPS UP
PONY FORGES ON
A GLAMOROUS LOOK THAT SONAM WANTED
PONY'S DETAILED TOUCHES
WHAT WILL THE FINAL RESULT LOOK LIKE?
She's all done now.
She's ready.
FINALLY TIME TO REVEAL SONAM'S MAKEOVER
THE MOST EXCITING MOMENT OF ALL
OH MY GOD
THE SALON GOES WILD
SHE LOOKS LIKE A MOVIE STAR
HER UNEVENLY TANNED SKIN
WAS COVERED UP PERFECTLY,
MAKING HER SKIN LOOK BRIGHT AND EVEN
ALONG WITH THE STRAIGHT HAIR SHE WANTED
TO EMPHASIZE HER SMALL FACE
AND ELEGANT NECKLINE,
IT WAS STYLED INTO A FEMININE UPDO!
It's so cute.
SHOWING OFF HER MAKEUP
SO READY TO GO OU
DANCING ALONG
IT'S LOOKING LIKE
SHE'LL HEAD STRAIGHT TO THE CLUB
YOU'RE ON FIRE!
SONAM'S MAKEOVER IS A HUGE SUCCESS
SADLY, IT'S NOW TIME
FOR THE LAST CLIENT TO LEAVE
-Bye-bye.
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
-Take care.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
-Bye!
-Bye!
-Great job.
-Great job.
ALL SEVEN CLIENTS DONE!
AND THE HIDDEN MVP TODAY IS
-You should eat now.
-Mi-ran. Is there food?
We have gimbap.
CEO RA, WHO MADE SURE EVERYBODY WAS FED
THANKS TO HER,
EVERYBODY TOOK THEIR LUNCH BREAK TODAY!
PROUD

-DANJANG, DANJANG, glow up!
Good work.
-Let's go.
-Let's go home.
-Time to go home.
-Time to go home.
THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY IS OVER
AFTER ANOTHER PEACEFUL NIGH
DAWNS ANOTHER DAY,
BOTH BUSY AND RELAXED
THIS IS THE UNIQUE RHYTHM OF NEW YORK
It's so sunny today.
THE DANJANGS ARE WALKING TO WORK TODAY
Why are you sighing?
-You're like a New Yorker.
-It's my first time walking here.
-It's so nice.
-So this is New York.
FINALLY SEEING THE CITY STREETS
ON THEIR FOURTH DAY
-There seem to be more people than usual.
-Right.
The streets are busy today.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE
ON THE STREET TODAY?
IT SEEMS MORE CROWDED THAN USUAL
Let's walk in the middle.
THEY TRY TO SQUEEZE THROUGH THE CROWD
-Why are there policemen here?
-What's going on?
FLUSTERED
THEY GOT THROUGH BECAUSE OF MANAGER PARK
-Why were policemen
-They're blocking the road.
BUT WHY WERE THEY STOPPED?
That was a little scary.
WALKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
Is something happening today?
What could it be?
It must be an event of some kind.
What country is this?
I think it's written here.
Dominican Republic.
Dominican Republic?
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

AS A MULTICULTURAL CITY, NEW YORK

They're dressed like the Dominican flag.
WE WANT TO GO TOO
INSTEAD OF THE PARADE,
THEY'RE GOING TO WORK
That looks fun.
SIGH
We're going to work, though.

It's crazy out there.
DRAWN TO THE MUSIC COMING FROM OUTSIDE
This is the real American experience.
EVERYONE'S COMING TO SEE
We're in such a great spot
to watch the parade.
-The festival is right outside.
-Front-row seats.
THEY CAN HEAR THE FESTIVE MUSIC
RIGHT OUTSIDE THE SHOP
THEY'RE AT LEAST ABLE TO ENJOY
THE SOUNDS OF THE FESTIVAL
It's nice. It's like background music.
NOT BEING ABLE TO GO OU
AND DANCE TO THIS FESTIVE MUSIC
MAKES EVERYONE WANT TO DANCE EVEN MORE!
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S I
It's crazy out there.
A COUPLE'S DANCE
PERFECTLY SYNCHRONIZED
UNLEASHING HER INNER DANCER
JUST LIKE THE FESTIVAL OUTSIDE,
THEY'RE DANCING INSIDE THE SHOP TOO
AN IRRESISTIBLE BEA
THAT HAS EVERYONE DANCING
Hey, Taekwondo boy.
I can kick. My dad is a Taekwondo coach.
Can you do a spinning kick too?
Of course, I can.
-Do you want to see?
-Yes.
WHAT CAN THE SON OF A TAEKWONDO COACH DO?
You can actually do it.
THIS IS TAEKWONDO
That hurt.
AT THIS POINT, THEY HAD NO IDEA
