==Plot==
At Eomeoni's Vow in Koreatown, there is an irate customer complaining about his drink. The employees are trying to reasonably cut him off, but the customer still doesn't see the error of his way and this is when Ichiban decides to intervene. The employee reveals that this person is a regular at this restaurant. It is revealed that Yu-jin has faded from grace and Ichiban wonders if he is causing issues in other locations. At Bar Rodriguez, there is a man loudly discussing about how he used to be famous. The other customers in the bar doesn't really care and this is when Ichiban decides that he should interview. II Yu-jin reacts negatively to this intervention and challenges Ichiban to a fight. Upon defeating II Yu-jin, he is extremely sad and Ichiban needs to take him somewhere else. Ichiban takes him to Hamakita Park. Il Yu-jin apologizes for his actions and explains the details of his downfall from fame. He explains that the manager that he had was extremely important to him and that this eventually led to him assaulting a man who tried to take advantage of this. As he continues to blabber, Il-Yu jin finds it difficult to hold his liquor and ends up throwing up on the park bench. Ichiban promises to bring Il-yun some water and to help him sober up.
After Ichiban brings Il Yu-Jin some water, an elderly woman begins to approach them. She said that II Yu-jin exactly looked like his past self and showed a poster of the movie called: "Our Winter Sonata" which stars II Yu-jin himself. She explains that her husband was also a big fan of Yu's films and that today was the anniversary of his passing and she was reflecting on the memories that they had made. After Il Yun-Jin realizes the effect that he has on people and the fact that he still has fans, he is inspired to get back into the acting gig. Il Yu-jin then goes off and says that he needs to get himself ready to get back into acting.
Back on Isezaki Road, Ichiban comes across Il Yu-Jin talking to a mysterious man in glasses. Tsuzuki is a paparazzi who managed to get photos of Il Yu-Jin causing a scene at Bar Rodriguez and is trying to black mail his return to films. He wants Il Yu-in to fork over 50 million yen in exchange for the photo. Tsuzaki reveals that he had been misinformed about the situation and decides to delete all of the photos. Il Yu-Jin then reveals to Ichiban that he is thankful for his assistance, but that he did assault one person. Il Yu-Jin decides that he has to take responsibility and own up for his former options. Ichiban is rewarded with the Bullet of Memory as a result of completion of this substory. Tsuzuki reveals that for once he is going to attempt to right a positive story about the redemption of Il Yu-Jin. Il Yu-jin is added to the roster of Poundmates as a matter of this completion.
