Caption: !!!!!
Caption: The atmosphere changes instantly
[Writer: …!]
[Director: !!]
Caption: Tears start falling in literally one second
Caption: ※The production team confirms no editing was done※
[Ye-won: But I know everything. In a few days you’re going to leave me, right? You’ll… disappear again, right?]
[Ye-won: I’ll eat less, and I won’t ask you to buy me toys.]
Caption: (Compared with the script)
Caption: Not a single word wrong
[Director: Wait, she’s good?]
[Writer: …Better than I expected.]
[Director: Come on. She’s the best among the kids who auditioned today. Give credit where it’s due~]
[Writer: …Yes, well… that’s true.]
Caption: The staff seem impressed
[Ye-won: So… can’t you just stay by my side?]
[Ye-won: I won’t even call you Dad. I’ll call you mister. Okay? So… could you just not leave?]
Caption: And one fact is revealed
Caption: The “uncles” right now are…
[Do-ha: (Completely speechless)]
[Woo-yeon: Wow!!!! Wow, that’s insane. I’ve got goosebumps. Look at my arms!]
[Eon: Be quiet, I can’t hear.]
[Yeon-ho: …….]
Caption: They’re watching through the waiting-room monitor
Caption: Everyone is shocked
[Ye-won (acting): …I’ll call you mister. Okay? So… could you just not leave?]
Caption: This is crazy
Caption: Our soft rice-cake bunny is actually a genius actor?
Even after Ye-won finished acting, silence filled the audition room.
Ye-won looked at the judges and smiled brightly again.
[Ye-won: Scene 1 is finished—should I do Scene 2 as well?]
The judges snapped out of their daze.
[Staff 1: No, no. Scene 1 is enough.]
[Director: Wow, that was great. Ye-won, your emotional immersion is amazing. When PD Hwang recommended you, I only heard you were very lovely and had a great face for the camera!]
[Director: PD Hwang, you didn’t say she was this good at acting.]
[Staff 2: She’s probably the best child actor I’ve seen recently.]
Caption: We didn’t know either
Caption: PD Hwang’s smile reaching the sky
Caption: Why is he so proud…?
[Ye-won: Thank you! Hehe.]
[Writer: I enjoyed it too. It definitely exceeded expectations. But…]
SFX: Shing
Caption: But…?
[Writer: Crying scenes are difficult, but everyday acting is even harder—you all know that.]
[Staff 3: That’s true.]
Caption: This set isn’t easy
[Writer: So, could you try a different tone? Something brighter.]
**[Ye-won: Yes! I can! Hmm… Oh! I’ll try acting like I’m cooking with my uncles!]
Caption: Cute chef Ye-won already
[Do-ha: (Extremely nervous)]
[Woo-yeon: Look at Lee Do-ha—he’s been tense this whole time. I don’t think we were this nervous even at our debut.]
[Eon: Try being half as brave as your niece. She doesn’t look nervous at all.]
[Yeon-ho: Be quiet. She’s starting.]
Caption: Everyone falls silent
Caption: The eldest really acts like the eldest at times
[Ye-won: U-Uncle! That’s not salt—it’s s-sugar…]
[Ye-won: Oh no!! It’s on fire!! Fire!! Uncle, I told you only people who can’t cook use high heat! Low heat! Low heat!]
Caption: Wait… wasn’t this supposed to be a healing scene?
Caption: Why does this feel like exhausting childcare acting?
Caption: Ye-won raising “Glit” in a parenting reality show (not really)
[Judges: (Burst into laughter)]
Caption: Even the strict writer is smiling now
Caption: Ye-won’s charm melts even the ice-cold writer
[Ye-won: Phew…]
[Ye-won: Ah, it’s okay, Uncle Do-ha! Everyone makes mistakes~!]
[Ye-won: Even if the house burns down, we can rebuild it—it’s fine~!]
Caption: Real-name talk LOL
Caption: Shocking reveal: Lee Do-ha can’t cook
[Do-ha: !!!!!]
Caption: Sudden disaster
[Woo-yeon: Wow~! That was completely realistic acting~! Ye-won’s exposing performance~!]
[Eon: (Loving it)]
[Yeon-ho: (Trying not to laugh)]
[Do-ha: N-no.]
[Do-ha: Glow, please don’t misunderstand. That was all acting—]
[Woo-yeon: Wow~~~ Lee Do-ha’s true identity has finally been revealed~~]
Caption: It’s a bit late to deny it now, Do-ha
[Ye-won: That’s all… thank you!]
[Director: Haha, alright. Ye-won, you’re very fun. Good job.]
[Assistant Director: Was that based on something that really happened?]
[Ye-won: Yes!]
[Assistant Director: Then does that mean Glit’s Lee Do-ha really…?]
**[Ye-won: ……I-I don’t think I should say!]
Caption: But you already did?
[Director: I understand perfectly. Hmm, I think I’ve seen enough. Do you need anything more, Writer Oh?]
[Writer: …No. I’ve seen enough too. Good work, Ye-won. You may go now.]
**[Ye-won: Yes! Goodbye!]
Ye-won greeted them energetically and stepped out of the audition room.
The moment the door opened, four men who had been waiting rushed toward her.
[Woo-yeon: Ye-won!!!! You were amazing! I almost cried! I knew you were special when I saw your talents before—but!! How did you hide this talent all this time!!!]
[Eon: …You did well.]
[Yeon-ho: (Just amazed)]
Caption: Huh? Where’s Do-ha?
[Do-ha: Good work, Ye-won. Aren’t you thirsty? Here’s some water.]
Caption: Glit’s official sugar
Caption: So sweet
[Ye-won: Did I do well, Uncle?]
[Do-ha: …Yes. You did really well. I don’t even know why I was worried.]
[Ye-won: That’s a relief. I wasn’t nervous at all because my uncles were cheering for me!]
Caption: Our Ye-won is the best
Caption: Great job, our soft little bunny!!
Caption: Thus ends the successful audition challenge of genius baby actor Ye-won and rookie-manager uncles!
Online Reactions
Title: I watched the clip—her acting is insanely good
At first I thought it was favoritism, so I watched with bias, but she’s better than expected.
The crying felt natural with no awkwardness.
Even considering the “uncle advantage,” you can’t say she’s bad.
She’s seriously good
She’s the best among child actors her age
The niece looks more talented than Lee Do-ha lol
What’s going on with this family’s genes?
Title: Lee Do-ha officially exposed as a terrible cook
(Screenshot)
The scene Ye-won acted must be 100% real lol
Do-ha’s expression is so cute
Isn’t the niece too savage? lol
He’s denying it but his voice is shaking lol
It’s already well known that he can’t cook
That wasn’t acting—that was reality
Title: The “nepo baby” controversy will probably calm down now
If she were bad, she would’ve been destroyed by criticism.
But since she proved it with skill, there’s nothing to say.
If she had no skill, she’d deserve criticism—but she does
Asking to do Scene 2 showed confidence
Must be genetic talent
Title: That crying line felt a bit heavy
When she said, “I won’t call you Dad, I’ll call you mister,”
Do-ha’s expression looked complicated.
It didn’t feel like just acting—it felt like real emotion.
The room went silent at that moment
Knowing her family situation makes it hit harder
She seems too mature for a seven-year-old…
Title: I hope people stop criticizing Ye-won now
She’s only seven years old.
She’s being raised by her uncles without her parents—how can people call her privileged?
Title: My X (Twitter) timeline right now
All the people waiting to hate on Ye-won and Glit disappeared lol
If her acting were bad, it would’ve exploded.
Title: Public opinion really changed
Even with all the noise, this became a stepping stone for Glit’s comeback.
Title: I want Episode 1 already lol
I’m really curious whether she passed or failed the audition.
She probably passed with that acting… but with PD Hwang, you never know.
