At the beginning of this chapter, we find out that Doosik actually noticed that Ji-eun was recording with her cellphone, however he just shrugs it off thinking that she probably pressed the record button on accident. He is also angry about the people who destroyed SHYONE‘s studio and decides to go and help clean up the mess.
When he arrives at the club for his part-time job, Vasco greets him and asks why he looks so down. Doosik tells him about the negative comments his song with Skratch has been getting and asks if Vasco doesn’t feel offended if people leave bad comments to his music. Vasco replies that yes, of course he feels offended. Nevertheless, negative comments are better than no comments at all. These words of advice lift Doosik’s spirit.
The next day, Skratch, Daeman, and Doosik are heading to the studio to clean up the mess. They meet Deepflow on the way who greets them friendly but stares at Daeman.
While they clean up the studio, Shiwon asks the three if there is anyone who has a grudge against them but all three negate it.
In the evening, after cleaning up, Shiwon monitors 2Sik and Skratch rehearsing. Doosik is still reading the negative comments and is especially angry at one comment that insults his mother. He swears to find the guy who wrote it and “kill” him, but Skratch and Shiwon tell him that it’s no use: those who write those comments are losers in real life who can’t even open their mouth, negative comments are better than no comments at all and he should just ignore them.
The next week, the article about 2Sik’s mixtape is posted online. Thanks to the advice he has gotten, Doosik is prepared for any negative reactions that might come but the post doesn’t get any comments at all …
At the end of this chapter, Daeman is wondering why Deepflow is friendly to everyone but stares only at him so scarily, even fears that Deepflow might hate him. However, what Deepflow actually thinks is: “I think I’ve seen that guy a few times somewhere, I have no idea who he is but he’s really handsome, perfect from his hairstyle to his eyes, nose and mouth. I’d like to make him my successor!”

  • Doosik wonders who on earth would have anything against the super nice SHYONE, unknowing that he is the cause of the destroyed studio.
  • Vasco says to Doosik: “A real man shouldn’t get all worked up about a few negative comments,” but when he reads them, he wordlessly pats Doosik’s back.
  • When Shiwon asks if there’s anyone who has a grudge against them, Doosik thinks of Lee Youngsoo and the blonde girl.
  • The comment insulting his mother reads: “2Sik seems like a f*cking retard. He says he lived in a neighborhood where people walk around with bulletproof vests and shoot guns? Isn’t a mother who brings up her child in such a place a nutter?”
  • Here’s what Skratch says about the people who write those harrassing comments: “They’re only like that online, if they stand in front of you they can’t say a word, they’re losers. And most of them are little kids. What do you want to do? Find them, beat them and get sued for it?”
  • SHYONE’s wise words: “What can you do? Musicians need people’s interest to earn even a mere 5 won. As long as it’s no constructive criticism, just ignore the haters.”

Verse 1)
Hey, we’re f*cking young, and free on top of it
There are so many fun things, when can we do them all before we die?
If I stand still for just a moment my whole body gets itchy
I have exactly one worry: tomorrow’s hangover

A troublemaker, not even my mom can stop me
If there’s something I want to do I always do it, else I ache all over
Free from all ideas and thoughts, I might seem totally witless
but there’s always a war in my head, I just don’t want to grow up

I had a dream of being a hero who saves the world
but what we dream of now is being a landlord
It’s alright, because we’re still f*cking young
Let’s enjoy it for now, the today that won’t come again

Hook: Mayson The Soul)
Everybody says,
“Life is short”
I live my time and
I’m dreamin’ for life

I’ll fill my glass again
Things for my sake, f*ck off((This refers to people giving advice like: “I’m saying this for your sake …”))
Whatever you told me((This should probably mean: “No matter what you told me”))
Whatever you like((This should probably mean: “No matter what you like”))

Verse 2)
I don’t check the time. I always look at my time,
at this moment only, because now is only now
Nobody knows what will happen
but no matter what it is, it has to be committed for us to find out what comes next

They say, “Laugh to be happy.” Don’t make me laugh
I’m all grown-up, I enjoy the bitter taste too now, I leave out the sugar
Who can’t say lame words of consolation?
Put away those painkillers that work only for a while

If it’s youth because it hurts, who pays the hospital bills?((Reference to the book “아프니까 청춘이다” [Because It Hurts It Is Youth] by professor Kim Nando))
Where do I have the time to be hurting? I can barely pay the rent
Although we’re the same from the outside, we’re all different inside anyway. That guy’s always been living well
And instead of talking bad about others, I prefer using that time to do my thing

I shake off the pubertal worries I sometimes have
Without me, not a single existence has any meaning
I give it a go and see what happens, we only got one life
If I’m certain, I even run in front of a red light, like a bull

Hook: Mayson The Soul)

Bridge)
They just don’t have knives, [but] the world is full of murderers
It’s our reality that we have to do what we’re told if we want to live
Evil editing,((Either a direct reference to SMTM’s evil editing or he is using the term in general)) the law of the jungle, adapt or resign
The envelope with a mere few pennies of salary, a tranquilizer gun pointed at your brain

When a poor man loses his temper, it’s a bother
A singing beggar begging for food, [I’m] just treated like a beggar
I am being completely avoided, something like a revolution will never happen anyway
[I] shut up and go earn money

Hook: Mayson The Soul)

[Recap] Move The Crowd – Chapter 21

Read my recap of hiphop webtoon Move The Crowd’s twenty-first chapter.

The girl who approached Doosik offers to buy him food, an offer our main character cannot turn down. The girl says she once had something going on with Lee Youngsoo but is through with him now. She tells Doosik to buy drinks since she bought food so the two go for drinks and she asks Doosik lots of questions about why he came to Korea. Doosik replies enthusiastically and even invites her to his upcoming performance. As it gets late, the girls asks Doosik to walk her home and even invites him in but Doosik refuses. Just when he is about to leave, she holds him back and gives him her number (here we find out that her name is Choi Ji-eun), saying he should contact her and she’ll treat him to a meal again. However, Doosik says that he’s busy and might not have time.
A flashback follows during which it is revealed that Lee Youngsoo has actually given Ji-eun money to seduce Doosik, record all their conversations, and even take pictures …

[x_custom_headline type=”left” level=”h1″ looks_like=”h4″]Trivia[/x_custom_headline]

  • When Doosik talks about why he came to Korea, the speech bubbles read: “Ah~ When I was in the US blah blah,” “I caused trouble and blah blah,” “My mom blah blah,” “The usual stuff blah blah,” “Pitiful shit blah blah that’s why I came here.”
  • In the flashback, Youngsoo says to Ji-eun: “Go and badmouth me or something, do whatever it takes to seduce him.” So Ji-eun tells Doosik that the reason she left Youngsoo is because “He has a small one,” something Doosik finds hilarious.
    This chapter’s final image shows Youngsoo (visibly pissed off) listening to the recording’s part where Ji-eun says: “He has a small one.”
  • Ji-eun uses “the usual” seduction techniques with Doosik: acting weak, making use of etiquette (“I bought food so you buy drinks!”), compliments (“You’re cool, young but commendable.”), pretending to be drunk (“So please take me home”), clinging onto him, inviting him in (“Do you want to eat ramyeon?”), sweet talk (aka aegyo: “I just want to be with you a bit longer ..”). Still, Doosik doesn’t seem very interested.
  • Youngsoo promised Ji-eun 500,000 won every time she meets up with Doosik and 2 million if she manages to take him to her place (which probably implies sleeping with him).
