(With good music and cool people,JYP's Party People begins now.)
(JYP's Party People is for thosewho are drinking alone at home.)
Did you have a good week?Saturday night has come again.
You know who are heretoday, right?
- Yes.- Yes.
I think the male audiencewill have...
(Male viewers, stay tuned.)
a particularly good timeuntil late night.
Let's get started. JYP's...
- Party People!- Party People!
(Which artists will makepeople's hearts flutter tonight?)
(Kim Wan Sun, Bada, Sun Mi)
(He politely shakesWan Sun's hand.)
Why won't you give me a hug?
I never imagined I wouldhost a show...
with the three of you as the guests.
Doesn't it look like...
Jin Young is dressed formallyto greet Wan Sun?
He is wearing somethinglike an apron.
- I thought it was an apron.- He's ready to serve.
He kept his hands together too.
He is wearing cute pants.
You can dress upas much as you want here.
It's impossible to dress upmore than I already did.
It's impossible.
(Turning)
(Bada is dressed like Beyonce.)
The viewers will be surprisedto see the guests of the day.
For the past 30 years,you captivated men's hearts...
and made womenwant to be like you.
(Madonna of Korea, Kim Wan Sun)
(She led the trendin dance and music.)
(The first global girl group, S.E.S)
(Bada was the talented main vocalistwho became the legend.)
(The national girl group,Wonder Girls)
(Sun Mi is the queen of performancewho succeeded as a solo artist.)
(They are women we still love.)
("24 Hours" by Sun Mi)
("24 Hours" is a dance songabout a woman...)
(who opened her eyesto sensual love.)
("Full Moon" by Sun Mi)
("Full Moon" is a song that showsSun Mi's mysterious charms...)
(with lyrics about waiting for loveat the night of the full moon.)
(The best divas of the past 30 yearshave gathered.)
Sun Mi, you did a good job.You were amazing.
(Sun Mi is the best.)
You must have seeneach other's performances on TV.
- Of course.- Each one of you were...
a female artistwho represented the era.
You saw Wan Sun's performanceswhen you grow up.
Do you remember how you felt?
If I were to name my role model,
it's Wan Sun.
When I was preparingfor "24 Hours"...
and "Full Moon",
I watched many videos of Wan Sun.
- Really?- I did it...
since I had to sing like...
24 hours
- That's how I had to sing.- How cool!
She has a certain air about her.
I found her expressionless face...
and charismatic eyes very cool.
I wanted to copy them,
but people told me to stop glaring.
Both of you have eyesthat look different...
- from those of the others.- Yes, they are.
Why don't you standnext to each other?
- Stare into the camera.- My goodness.
Show your confidence.
(Kim Wan Sun's original stareversus Sun Mi's stare)
This is what I rememberabout Wan Sun.
She was very pretty.
She hada facial shape of the East...
and sexy eyes of the West.
Back in the days, no one had...
such a well-proportioned bodylike Wan Sun's.
Most importantly,she could dance very well.
- That's right.- When she danced,
my heart fluttered.
(Wan Sun's dance skills wereon another level.)
As one of the public and a male fan,
my heart beat fastwhenever I saw her.
Your debut album was "Tonight".
("Tonight" isKim Wan Sun's 1st album...)
(that created a sensationupon its release.)
- It's still stylish.- It really is.
I didn't dance much for this song.
I did this.
- I did this.- My goodness.
- I moved as I saw fit.- "The Pierrot Laughs at Us".
Do you remember the dancefor that song?
The dance became a hit.It was called Rabbit Dance.
Rabbit Dance.It's called shuffle dance now.
(Rabbit Dance precededthe trend by 20 years.)
(Stepping lightly)
(She has incredibly light steps.)
You make my heart flutter.
What about "Dance in the Rhythm"?
Music, please.
- Please give her a big hand.- In 1, 2, 3, 4.
("Dance in the Rhythm")
Am I doing it right?I don't know the dance.
Seriously,
- We did it at once.- it's rare to see...
the three divasof the different generations...
dance at the same time.
Dance songsquickly go out of style.
That's why most dance songsof the past are...
largely forgotten.
Although "Dance in the Rhythm" wasreleased in 1987,
people still listen,sing, and enjoy it.
I don't think there is a girl groupthat hasn't danced to this song.
- There really isn't.- Every girl group members...
and female dance singers havecovered the dance.
I realize once again the power...
of a legendary musician.
This song was composed and writtenby Shin Jung Hyeon.
- He is a rocker.- Yes.
However, since I was the onewho asked him for a song...
It was after I releasedmy first album...
and he had seen me on TV.
Since he knew that I could dance,
he decided to give me a dance song.
He bought Intel 80386...
and learned how to program.
- He learned MIDI.- That's right.
Not many people knew about it.
Back in 1987, there weren'ta lot of computers in Korea.
- You are right.- He learned MIDI.
"Dance in the Rhythm" must be...
the first song in Korea to use MIDI.
("Dance in the Rhythm" is a songShin Jung Hyeon,)
(the legendary rocker madefor Kim Wan Sun...)
(after learning MIDI.)
He came into the recording studioand said,
"Wan Sun, it's not very goodsince I only began to learn MIDI."
"However, I think it's good enoughfor you to dance to."
Then he played the song.It was the best.
- That's incredible.- Then he said, "When you sing,"
"you use your entire body,not just your mouth."
He did this next to me.
He expressed it for you?He is a great producer.
When I listento "Dance in the Rhythm",
I see that it hasmany changes...
and a different toneunlike the other songs.
(It's a song Shin Jung Hyeon,the legendary rocker...)
(gave to Kim Wan Sun,the legendary dancer.)
- My goodness.- The atmosphere is set.
Sun Mi will sing...
"The Pierrot Laughs at Us"and "Dance in the Rhythm".
(Sun Mi will pay homageto Wan Sun, her role model.)
- Go, Sun Mi, go.- Let's go.
(Sun Mi will pay homageto Wan Sun, her role model.)
(Make Your Song Mine)
("The Pierrot Laughs at Us"and "Dance in the Rhythm")
("The Pierrot Laughs at Us"and "Dance in the Rhythm" by Sun Mi)
(Make Your Song Mine)
("The Pierrot Laughs at Us"and "Dance in the Rhythm")
(Sun Mi's version...)
(of "Dance in the Rhythm"by Shin Jung Hyeon and Kim Wan Sun)
("The Pierrot Laughs at Us"and "Dance in the Rhythm" by Sun Mi)
(Now, the senior artist will sing.)
Now, Wan Sun will sing...
"Full Moon" by Sun Mi.Please give her a big hand.
("Full Moon" by Sun Mi)
(How will the dancing queen,Wan Sun reinterpret the song?)
("Full Moon" by Kim Wan Sun)
(With a band accompaniment,)
(Wan Sun made "Full Moon"more intense and powerful.)
(Wan Sun'sMake Your Song Mine)
(The performances were specialto both Wan Sun and Sun Mi.)
Seriously.
You are shy and girly when you talk.How do you do that on the stage?
Who is the woman I saw on the stage?
(Who is the womanI saw on the stage?)
Sun Mi,I really wonder how Sun Mi felt.
Sun Mi, "Full Moon"is your song, right?
- Is it your song?- I don't think it's my song.
What did you thinkof the performance?
I honestly didn't knowwhat to think.
Before she took the stage,Wan Sun said,
"What should I do?"
Then she transformedwhen the intro came on.
- She suddenly transformed.- She crossed her legs.
(She tilted her head.)
(Relaxed, charismatic,seasoned, and sexy)
- I was so surprised.- The intro shocked me.
Upon seeing her poseto the rhythm of the intro,
I didn't think,"She can dance and sing well."
I thought, "I want to go outwith someone like her."
- Really?- Yes.
Even though I am a woman,I fell for you.
That's right. It's not about doinga good or a bad job.
- We fell for you.- We simply fell for you.
You could have thought,
"Many idol singers aretalented these days."
"I might not be as good as them."
If you have these worries,you can't perform that well.
Well, the idol singers and I havecompletely different styles.
I try not to compare myself to them.
Compared to them,you are superior.
- Really?- That's right.
- That's right.- No way.
That's what he is talking about.
You misunderstood my words.
I meant that you are superiorto the current idol singers.
Watching Sun Mi singmade me feel proud.
I still become nervous...
when she takes the stage.
That's right.
Then came Wan Sun's performance.
(The next performance was too good.)
Then I realized thatSun Mi should work harder.
- My goodness.- I said,
"I have a long way to go."
- Come here.- My goodness.
- You did a good job.- Thank you.
S.E.S' debut was...
sensational.
There hadn't beena girl group like S.E.S.
The members were cute like fairies.
All of them were beautiful.
It was sensational.
- I know.- The members wore ties and warmers.
That's right.
- "Dreams Come True" was nice.- That's right.
It's Europop styled song...
- with a Korean twist.- It was dreamy too.
I loved that.
I saw Jin Young for the first timewhen I was a member of S.E.S.
He came in with a guitar.
- Really? Why did I do that?- Do you remember?
- I don't remember at all.- He came in with a guitar.
and said,"There is a reason why I came here."
"I have a songI want you to listen to."
He played...
the acoustic versionof "I'm Your Girl".
- I had never heard it before.- I remember now.
Do you remember now?Now you remember.
I thought an acoustic versionof the song will...
bring out your singing skills.
I went to tell you that.I remember now.
We listened to the acoustic versionof "I'm Your Girl"...
with Jin Young'sguitar accompaniment.
Would you do it again?I want to hear it.
(It happened 20 years ago.)
It was memorable.
(The acoustic versionof "I'm Your Girl")
Kyung Hwa.
Give me C.
Please believe in meGive me...
G and B.
We will be togetherA minor.
How cool!
- I will give it a try.- Okay.
I am so excited.
Take a trip down memory laneand imagine me with a guitar.
("I'm Your Girl" helpedBada and Park Jin Young meet.)
(She changes her hairstyleto the way it was in the past.)
("I'm Your Girl", Acoustic version)
(Sun Mi is posing like Eugene.)
(They are like girlsin the waiting room.)
(Embarrassed)
- It was amazing.- It was amazing.
I am so proud of you.
(The tables have turned.)
Today, I will sing...
the acoustic version of the songyou played for us.
- "I'm Your Girl".- "I'm Your Girl".
How cool!
("I'm Your Girl" by Bada)
(The acoustic version of the songwith brass accompaniment...)
(accentuatesBada's sweet and lovely charms.)
All right.
Come on.
JYP!
(The blast from the past)
(Bada sings"I'm Your Girl" by Bada)
(I love Bada.)
(You will havea more entertaining...)
(Saturday night thanyour friends outside.)
Sun Mi,
you are like Bada in a way.
You started offas a member of a girl group...
and then pursued a solo career.
I haven't asked you this before,
but which song didyou hate the most?
- During my Wonder Girl days?- Yes.
(What was the songSun Mi hated the most?)
- I can say it now.- Yes, you can.
Okay. In my case, it's...
(He's curious.)
I hated to perform "Tell Me".
"Tell Me"?
(Jin Young wrotethe song and the lyrics.)
(This song writtenby Jin Young...)
(made Wonder Girls famous.)
(Why did Sun Mi hatesinging this song?)
You were great atthe choreography though.
- Well...- You did it the best.
Don't you remember our album cover?
(She had an issuewith the album cover.)
- I don't remember.- My hair was...
in tight curlsand on top of my head.
(They sported a retro stylefor the song.)
- Your hair?- It's a style...
that overwhelms most women.
(They went slightly overboard.)
I wasn't too fondof the choreography either.
Jin Young was in the US at the time,
so he sent a video of him dancing.
(Jin Young sent overa video of him...)
(dancing tothe choreography he made.)
Every one of our members hatedthe choreography.
You must've been surprised.And back then...
They didn't knowit'd be that big of a hit.
We didn't.
We were shockedby the choreography...
because we weren't bornduring that era.
However, it was a mega hit.
Anyway, that's the songI didn't like the most.
I'm still very grateful though.
(Thank youfor the national hit song.)
I'm really grateful.I truly am.
It's time to hearSun Mi's new single.
(The hit single that hasmade her this year's diva)
(The perfect performance, "Gashina")
Please give her a round of applause.
("Gashina")
("Gashina" by Sun Mi)
(Stay tuned forBaek Z Young...)
(and Gummy'sshocking transformation.)
You're really good.
- I had good training.- It was amazing.
I felt like she wasaiming at you during the song.
- That's where she aimed.- Why was that?
- What?- Why was that?
It was me saying, "Take that!"
I was aiming at you.
She was very mischievous.We always used to argue...
and even mimicprofessional wrestling.
(They were likefather and daughter.)
Sun Mi was with my agency,but now she's not.
I was worried about how she'd besince she wanted to be on her own.
Here's why I was so worried though.
There are many othertalented producers,
but I know Sun Mi betterthan any one of them.
I'm glad now thatshe found her success.
Actually, I called her right away...
- when her single was released.- That's right.
I told her how proud I was becauseI was deeply worried about her.
- When I heard the song,- It was good.
- I told her that it'll top...- That's right.
the charts even beforethe result came out.
I said that it wasperfect in every way...
on the phone.
- Before then, I was...- You were worried.
That's right.
- So...- He must've been truly moved.
- He's tearing up as he talks.- He thinks...
of her as his daughter.
Right after my showcase,
he called me.
I could tell that he was excitedfrom the tone of his voice.
When he's excited,his voice gets thrown off...
- when he speaks.- I know what you mean.
- He called me...- I know what you mean.
- to tell me that I did a great job.- I know how he sounds.
I was deeply moved because...
he's my first mentor andhis agency was my first home.
Yes, of course.
(From her younger yearsas a trainee,)
(she grew up at JYP Entertainment.)
(She's now flying soloat a different agency,)
(so she's grateful for his concern.)
- It was my first home.- Yes, of course.
- So...- You need to move out though.
(Stern)
- You should always leave home.- Yes, at least once...
- even though you crawl back in.- That's how you grow up.
Wan Sun, what I admireabout you is...
the fact that youkeep releasing songs...
- of various genres.- Right.
It's very important,but so difficult to do.
I know it always happens,
but don't you feel upsetor devastated when...
you're not obviouslyat the top anymore?
Back when I debuted,it was abnormal...
to start a singing career at my age.
I became a singerbecause I loved music,
and I made it in the industry,
but I wasn't the singerI thought I'd be.
- That's why I felt...- You became skeptical.
In a way, yes.
Other issues also surfaced too.
One of them were with my manager.
Anyway, years passedwhile I dealt with those,
so I never really knewjust how popular I was...
in the music industry.
(She doesn't knowhow popular she was.)
I never felt likemy world had changed.
Nothing had changed for me.
What's different now though is...
that I'm not nervous, anxious,
or unhappy like I used to be.
I suddenly realizedI shouldn't live that way...
when I had so much going for me.
I could eat delicious foodand buy whatever it is I want.
There were many things I could do,
so I didn't have to livea miserable life anymore.
Once I changed my perspective,
my life became a joy.
In terms of work,
I sing and dance nowas if I'm at a party.
- Gosh.- So...
In a way, I'm a rookie artist.One that just debuted.
(She never knewhow popular she was.)
(Now she's a rookie artistwho is enjoying her life.)
("Only Mine" by Kim Wan Sun)
("Only Mine" was her 1st songto win 1st place,)
(and it validated heras a talented singer.)
(We wish 30-year veteran artistWan Sun our very best.)
(Stay tuned forBaek Z Young and Gummy.)
Next stage is Bada.What will you sing for us next?
The song is "Girls' Generation".
I chose this song...
because I debuted as a teenand so did Wan Sun.
- You all debuted in your teens.- That's right.
So even after so many years,
we will still be rememberedas girls in a way.
I also thought we couldreminisce our youth.
Just the title alone drew me in.
- It totally works.- It does.
(The song is good enough to bea soundtrack for everlasting girls.)
("Girls' Generation" by Bada)
(With the jazzy and captivatingrendition of the song,)
(the former teen star Bada singsa hopeful message.)
Raise your hands!
Everybody, clap your hands.
Make some noise, Jin Young.
Come on.
Once again, sing with me.
(Stay tuned forBaek Z Young and Gummy.)
- Party People.- Party People.
Please welcome our next guest.
(The vocalists with great voice,Baek Z Young and Gummy)
Z Young,
there's somethingI want to tell you first.
Ever since you got married,
you have becomemore relaxed and comfortable.
Really?
There's this beauty to you.
- Is that so?- It's just...
- how you are now.- I guess...
my emotions have changed in a way,
and you're alsoseeing the stability...
- marriage has brought me.- To be honest,
you can tell howgreat the husband is...
just by seeing howdifferent his wife has become.
It's evident when I look at you...
which goes to showhow sweet your husband is.
Thank you.
The adjective that comes to mindwhen I think of Gummy is this.
Gentle.
- Yes, gentle.- She's a gentle soul.
That's why she needsto be with a sweet man.
And she is.
Exactly.
(Gentle Gummy isdating such a sweet man.)
There's a segment calledMake Your Song Mine.
- I see.- Make Your Song Mine.
- I'm sure you've seen this show,- Yes, we did.
but you can sing any songby any other artist.
I wonder if you remember this.
We once crossed pathsat the airport.
It was shortly afterJoo had released...
her single "Because of a Man".
(One of JYP's gem Joodebuted in 2008...)
(with a heartbreaking songcalled "Because of a Man".)
When I met Jin Young,
I told him how muchI've been singing that song.
He said in return that...
he had been consideringgiving the song to me.
It would've suited you.
Joo's a talented singer,but she was too young.
The emotions canonly be portrayed...
- by someone with experience.- Right.
That's why I thought of Z Young.
Z Young, Z Young...
I've never heard this before either,
so why don't we hear hersing a snippet of it?
- I can't wait.- Gosh.
("Because of a Man" by Joo)
(She gave us chills!)
This reminds me of my old days.
I'm glad you didn'tget to sing this song.
- Really?- If you had...
If you had, I would've fainted.
(He's not joking.)
I can't believe you said that.
Gosh, that was incredible.
(Z Young's voice is always great.)
- So what now?- You should know...
that she once asked me...
- to write a song for her.- Right.
When I think of her, she is like...
a female version of me.
She was fearless.
So thinking that she couldbe her own person,
I wrote her...
- a song called "Woman Off to Work".- My gosh.
My gosh, do you remember that?
No way.
I'm sorry for onlylaughing by ourselves,
but this song...
- "Woman Off to Work"?- Can I explain this?
Sure.
It was about seven years ago.
Jin Young wrote me a songbased on who he thought I was.
- He thought of you.- He wrote me a song,
and this was beforewe used flash drives.
Anyway, once he was done,he saved it on a CD.
I took it home andput it in my CD player.
The title was "Woman Off to Work".
"Woman Off to Work"!
- It's like a career woman.- Yes, it is.
Let me tell you some of the lyrics.
I'm a woman who earns money
That's really in the song.
To be honest,I didn't know if I could sing it.
A woman who earns her own money.
- How cool is that?- This also followed.
I bought my own car and house
That's when I realized...
that he's very straightforwardwith his expressions.
- Right.- I couldn't do it,
- Why not?- so the song was never released.
- She turned it down.- I couldn't do it.
I'm a woman who earns money
I bought my own car and house
- I just couldn't.- You're not like that.
I couldn't see myself singing that.
She told me that the lyrics weretoo bold for her.
They were.Anyway, I brought that demo...
and handed it overto the show's staff.
- Do you still have it?- This show?
Of course.How could I throw it away?
I kept the demothat he sang himself.
- I'd love to hear it.- I still had it.
- I sang it in a female voice.- That's right.
I can't believe you still had it.
I gave the copy to the show's staff.
It's the song that wasnever released.
(The unfortunate songthat was never released)
("Woman Off to Work")
- It's not bad.- I quite like it.
It's really not that bad.Can I have it instead?
It's really good.
- This is too good for a demo.- I can't believe you still had it.
How could I possibly throw it away?
She can't throw away what you sang.
I think you gave it to me too soon.If only you had given it to me now.
That's not where the storyends for this song.
(What happened aftershe turned it down?)
I like the song too muchto just give up on it.
That's why I turned to Miss A.
Do you know their song"I Don't Need a Man"?
(Miss A released it in 2012,)
(and it's about womenwho take care of themselves.)
This is how I came to write it.
If you hadn't asked meto write a song for you,
I wouldn't havethought of these lyrics.
Since the lyrics werefor you though,
I needed to change them.
So I made them more appropriatefor a girl group.
(The unfortunate"Woman Off to Work" became...)
(the hit single"I Don't Need a Man".)
(It all worked out in the end.)
- I contributed then.- You did.
I'm pretty sure that the viewers...
including myself can'twait to hear...
the song you'll cover today.
There's a song that I always sing...
at karaoke rooms after a few drinks.
- Would you like to hear it?- Yes!
This is Z Young'sMake Your Song Mine.
(Z Young's Make Your Song Mine)
("I Don't Love You" by Urban Zakapaand "Pick Me" by I.O.I)
(The shocking transformationof the queen of ballads)
("Pick Me" by Baek Z Young)
(This EDM dance numberwith an addictive melody was...)
(the main theme songfor an idol singer audition show.)
("Pick Me" by I.O.I)
("I Don't Love You" by Urban Zakapaand "Pick Me" by I.O.I)
- Okay.- Seeing you on stage just now...
reminded me of the womanyou really are inside.
As you all know, I've recentlygiven birth to my child.
I went tothe dance studio to practice,
but my body was too stiff.
- It forgot how to dance.- If you stop dancing,
it'll show in your moves.
Exactly. That's whywhen I danced just now,
I stomped the wrong leg.
- The same arm and leg.- Yes.
(My limbs don't seem to movelike I want them too.)
I think it wasabout seven years ago.
I once went toa karaoke with Gummy...
- Yes, we did.- and a couple of our friends.
You should have heardhow she sounded...
while slightly tipsy.
It was unbelievable. To be honest,
you sounded better than on TV.
I mean...
You were so charming.
It was the first timeyou praised my singing.
(She's embarrassed to say it.)
I couldn't help butfall in love with you.
- You were slightly tipsy.- I wasn't put together.
That's why I want to see yougo crazy on stage more.
- She mostly sings ballads,- I want to see that too.
so maybe...
It wasn't easy to choose,
but I chose the song thatI've been singing a lot these days.
- It's "Ko Ko Bop" by Exo.- My gosh.
Hold on.
I bet it'll havea richer reggae vibe.
- That's right.- Deeper and richer.
So this is Gummy's coverof "Ko Ko Bop" by Exo.
(How will the free-spirited Gummysing Exo's "Ko Ko Bop"?)
("Ko Ko Bop" by Exo and"I'm a Guy Like This" by DJ Doc)
("I'm a Guy Like This" by DJ Doc)
Can you party harder?
(DJ Doc's bold and witty songfrom their 7th studio album)
Can you party harder?
Say, "Oh yes".
Make some noise!
All right.
Say what?
Sing with me.
Jump!
