(I want to play drums?)
(He unwittingly embarked on the path of becoming a genius drummer.)
(His drum beat was sent to many genius musicians.)
(The deities of music added groove to the beat.)
(The song "How Do You Play?" came to be.)
(Next up are the acoustic masters.)
(They add a top-100 touch.)
("Self-conscious" was created.)
(Jae Seok's beat was reinterpreted in many different ways.)
(One beat birthed many works of art.)
(Jae Seok, the Beat Creator)
(Meanwhile)
(He slowly improves.)
(He went from feeling awkward...)
(to playing with the rhythm.)
(What... What is this genius sense of rhythm?)
(Grinning)
(Is Jae Seok now an acknowledged genius drummer?)
(But then)
(A drum recital?)
(Shouldn't I have been told?)
(A drum recital even he didn't know about)
(People flock in.)
(There's only one spot on stage.)
(He heads to battle with just two sticks in hand.)
(And so)
(The hero rules the battlefield.)
(Such grandeur)
(I want this rhythm and this man.)
(Other musicians add wings to the beat.)
(Your heart...)
(will be swayed with this one beat.)
(Yuplash)
(October 10, Drum Recital)
(Drum recital, D-11)
Son Star.
Why did you schedule your recital so soon?
- It wasn't me. - What?
- Honestly. - But...
Do you think I scheduled it?
Did I say I wanted to play drums?
- This is just insane. - It's driving me crazy too.
What am I to do about this now, Son Star?
Did you memorize the song?
I haven't even listened to it yet.
(Laughing)
Ask for it to be postponed.
(Master, it's really serious.)
So, yesterday, at night,
I went out and bought a blank music paper.
I wrote down the music.
I wrote it down.
- Let's listen to the first song. - Okay.
(The first song, "How Do You Play?")
- 1, 2, 3, 4. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
(1. The original rhythm)
So far, it's just the basic rhythm.
(After the rap)
(2. Fill-in)
(And he's now going half the speed of the original rhythm.)
(3. Half a beat off)
(And again...)
(4. The original rhythm)
(5. Fill-in)
(The first song, "How Do You Play?" has...)
(many variations from a variety of instruments.)
(The drums should play...)
(the original rhythm,)
(the fill-in,)
(and the half off-beat...)
(in a stable way throughout the song!)
- I'll just remember the middle. - Yes.
Do you want me to speed up the metronome's clicks?
The clicks? No, there's no need. I just need to try that part.
(Jae Seok sounds confident.)
So what was the important point?
We have these fill-in parts like this in the middle.
As you play, the moment you begin to hear the music,
you might go faster or slower.
Let's take it from the top.
(He begins to practice...)
("How Do You Play?" ambitiously.)
And 1, 2, 3, 4.
(The fill-in)
You're going too fast.
(Drumming)
Here's the problem right now.
When you do the fill-in, you begin to speed up.
- Or... We can add a drum roll. - Okay. Let's do that.
- Yes, we need to add that. - Yes.
(Yes, we need to add that.)
You're going twice as fast as the fill-in rhythm.
(You're going twice as fast as the fill-in rhythm.)
(Like this.)
(Like this?)
And 1, 2, 1, 2.
And 1, 2, 3, 4.
(However,)
(he lost his sense of rhythm.)
No, actually, it's...
Let's not decide on the number of the drum rolls.
- Okay. - It's just bright...
1, 2, 3, 4, and...
(He's busy practicing.)
Until you get used to the song,
let's just keep the fill-in with the four beats.
- Do you want to try the other song? - Should we?
Here's the second one.
(It's the second song.)
(The second song, "Self-conscious")
It's Paul Kim.
(He has to go in at the perfect timing...)
(to play a fill-in twice in a row during "Self-conscious".)
- 1, 2, 3, go. - 1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
(Fumbling)
Just go straight the second time.
(He's kind of off this time too.)
Too fast.
(Feeling self-conscious)
That's not it. This is too tough.
(Hey, this is too tough.)
The third song...
(The third song...)
(There's another song?)
(The third song, "Please Bother Me" and "It's Not That I Couldn't")
The drum break in the middle is a bit different from the other two.
Let's try another song.
(The fourth song, "Confused")
(I have to play 4 songs?)
(He has no time to think.)
(He begins to practice first.)
Stop.
(Come on, is this that tough?)
(Feeling intimidated)
Gosh, this is really hard.
(His hands won't move the way he wants them to move.)
You'll continue to play this at the same speed.
I can play just one song, but not a few songs.
Gosh, this is too tough.
(4 songs are too much for him.)
Stop.
(He only has about 2 weeks left.)
You have to go in now.
(He has to memorize a total of 4 songs.)
You should have played fill-in.
- Really? - Yes.
- Go in. Go in now. - Now?
Yes, you keep the fill-in very short right here.
(On the other hand, the stage...)
(for Jae Seok's recital is coming together!)
- Isn't this it? - And 1, 2, 3, 4.
(His only solution is to practice!)
Stop here.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Stop!
(Fumbling)
Will you stop right away when I tell you to?
Okay. I will. Are you getting annoyed at me?
No.
- Okay. - I was just asking.
- You weren't just asking. - I was.
- "Will you stop right away?" - How could I?
You said it's not fun to play the same eight beats on the phone.
I can't do this. It's too confusing.
(This is too confusing.)
I need at least a month to practice.
Jae Seok, you can do it.
I think you'll get it in no time if you put in a bit more effort.
I'm not sure.
(Jae Seok's confidence dropped down sharply.)
(How much will he improve...)
(over the remaining 11 days?)
(Jae Seok begins to practice by himself out of nervousness.)
(Making a mistake)
(Fumbling)
Let's do this again.
(He said he couldn't do this.)
(He's on fire for practicing drums.)
(And...)
Should we try this once again?
(The beat creator's instinct...)
(begins to get awakened.)
(I'm the genius drummer!)
(And the anticipation rises...)
(for the Yuplash recital...)
(and the mysterious stage!)
(And...)
- Let's start with song number one. - Okay.
(His drum recital will be in two days.)
- Let's go. - Okay.
I'll never forget this eight-beat for my life.
I'll play these 8 beats during my 80th birthday party.
(It's finally...)
(the last practice.)
(Going in?)
It's really hard to go in.
(It's really hard to go in.)
I always end up going in half a beat later.
If I get distracted for a moment...
(I still get confused...)
(even though the recital is in two days.)
(But still,)
(Jae Seok practices very hard.)
(His recital was decided...)
(very suddenly, at the speed of light.)
(He suddenly had...)
(an encounter with drums.)
(How did this humble beat...)
(turn into actual music?)
(It'll be fun, anyway!)
And 1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
(We'll be fine!)
- The end. - Should we take a break?
- Sure. - Okay.
I think I'm good at playing drums.
- I ended up doing it right. - Yes.
(His sticks got worn out in just a few days.)
I played this one well.
- Look at these. - Right.
(Feeling proud)
Bass, snare. Bass, snare.
(A passionate night passes by.)
(And finally)
Gosh, I haven't been to the Ilsan station for a long time.
(10 hours before the show)
(Jae Seok arrived at the performance hall early.)
(He's practically stuck to these drumsticks.)
(Mixed feelings)
Hello.
I haven't been to Ilsan for a long time. Yes, thank you.
(Yuplash, Yu Jae Seok's waiting room)
(Drumming)
When will Son Star get here?
(When will Son Star get here?)
(The early bird came early to practice.)
(His hands look rather anxious.)
(Drumming)
(Drumming...)
(Scratching)
(Yuplash, Yu Jae Seok's waiting room)
(I miss you, Star.)
Isn't Son Star here yet?
(Jae Seok's savior is here!)
(Relaxed)
(He's still lonely in the waiting room.)
(I'm here!)
Hey, Star.
- How are you feeling? - What?
It's if I forget or not. It has nothing to do with my feelings.
Let's start with number one, "How Do You Play?"
And 1, 2, 3, 4.
(He's all tense from pressure.)
(Frozen)
No, not that.
You stopped way too quickly.
- No, right here. - I'm not sure what the song is.
1, 2, 3, 4.
(They began to practice hard in the waiting room.)
(Practicing...)
(and practicing again)
(He continues to cram right before the show.)
You just keep that going to the end.
(A short break)
Overall, you're going a bit faster than the bpm.
But during the show, remember to slow down...
as much as you can.
- Okay. - Yes.
- Gosh. - We'll start the rehearsal.
Rehearsal?
(He isn't ready yet.)
So suddenly?
I don't know. I don't know.
(Distressed)
I am confused about when to stop and begin...
because there are five songs.
(The mother bird drummer does his job.)
(He checks the sheet music one more time.)
The rehearsal will begin now.
Are you going now?
I am going now.
- Let's go. - Okay.
(Let's go!)
- I don't know how the stage looks. - Me neither.
Haven't you checked out the stage?
(They haven't even checked out the stage yet.)
(The stage awaits Jae Seok.)
(Jae Seok enters the stage!)
(Jae Seok's view)
Gosh, this is...
The conductor will sit here.
(Confused)
- For goodness' sake. - So now...
Come on.
(As soon as he goes up the stage,)
Isn't Son Star coming?
(he misses Son Star.)
(He enters the stage right away!)
(He is...)
(everywhere.)
(The mother bird adjusts the position of the drums.)
(Perfect)
Gosh, this is...
(Come here, Jae Seok.)
- Jae Seok. - I haven't practiced enough.
- I will be over there. - Okay.
(It's okay.)
I don't know So Yoon's part very well.
(Son Star's place and Jae Seok's place)
Can you see me?
(If Son Star makes a sign, Jae Seok will be able to see it.)
You can hear me, right? All right.
(They can communicate during the performance!)
I don't know what I am doing.
Why are the drums at the center? In front of the stage?
After I learned drums for a short amount of time...
I think that now is an era where drums should come to the front.
For goodness' sake.
(That time has come.)
Please play the drums so that we can test the sound.
All right. Music, start.
(The first song of the rehearsal begins.)
(He makes a mistake as soon as he begins.)
Let's go.
(Frozen)
Let's go.
(Son Star gives him a sign to start.)
(It's okay.)
All right.
(Jae Seok relaxes again.)
All right.
(The song reaches the end.)
(The end)
I don't know when it ends.
(I don't know when it ends.)
(It's time for "How Do You Play?")
(There is a part where Jae Seok stops playing,)
(but it shouldn't happen like this.)
There was a break, right?
That break should have begun half a measure later.
Here?
(Now that he is on the stage,)
(he makes more mistakes.)
We should do this one more time.
(Flustered)
I heard just now that...
you have an eight-measure drum solo.
Really? But I don't know when to begin.
I will tell you.
I will tell you when to begin.
For goodness' sake.
(The mother bird becomes nervous as well.)
Thank you for your hard work.
(Will he be able to do a good job?)
(2 hours before the show)
(All musicians arrive.)
(And)
I am having a mental breakdown.
I can't eat anything right now.
Let's shut the door.
(He perfectly recreated Ringo Starr's looks.)
It was insane.
(His neon suit brightens up the waiting room.)
(Grinning)
(Hui Yeol appears.)
This isn't the time for laughter.
Yu Rin Gi, this isn't the time for laughter.
For goodness' sake.
Jae Seok, you look very pretty.
That's not the problem right now.
I have an aunt who lives in Namgajwa-dong.
She looks exactly like you. That hairstyle suits you.
This is the prettiest you have been.
- Aren't you nervous? - I am insanely nervous.
(This is the part where they get the audience to cheer.)
(Excited)
For goodness' sake.
Raise the drumsticks! Do this.
I can't do that.
(He practices hard until the end.)
(Serious)
I will do this.
Okay, okay.
- For goodness' sake. - This is ridiculous.
What are we going to do with him?
(Concentrating)
All right.
(What am I doing right now?)
(Yuplash, Yu Jae Seok's waiting room)
(He pushes his shame aside and continues to practice.)
Shall I go now?
(It's time to take the stage for real!)
Did your song end?
We are on our way to check out your performance.
- Do you have a lot on your mind? - Yes, I do.
- I have a lot on my mind. - I understand.
My life became so messed up.
That wig makes you look like my mom.
Can't you simply say...
you failed and call it a day?
I really want to do that.
How did you get 5 or 6 songs in such a short amount of time?
I guess I need to go.
- Bye, Se Yoon and Muzie. - Bye.
(What will become of Yugo Starr?)
(1 hour before the show)
(The audience gathers around.)
(Genius drummer Yu San Seul)
(The audience fills the seats like at any other venue,)
(but this is the unprecedented solo drum recital...)
(by Yugo Starr.)
(Jae Seok will show his genius through the beats.)
(33 minutes before the show)
(30 minutes before the show)
(His heart feels lighter.)
(He set his mind.)
(The venue for the solo drum recital is packed.)
- I am under a lot of stress. - Now?
Good luck.
Let's go.
(Son Star, Yu Hui Yeol,)
Let's go.
(and Yugo Starr...)
(enter the stage.)
(0 percent of Jae Seok's wish...)
(went into the world's first solo drum recital.)
(The audience wants to see the genius drummer.)
- I am not even nervous. - Really?
- Are you worn out? - Yes.
- That's good. - I am not even nervous.
(The audience first sees...)
(the real musicians behind the beats.)
(Peakboy, Heize, Paul Kim, Kim Ea Na, Lee Juck, Urban Zakapa,)
(UV, Zion.T, and Colde)
(The atmosphere is heated up.)
(The heat of the audience lands on...)
(the genius drummer, Yugo Starr.)
So many people came.
(The loud cheers reach his eardrums.)
(Se Yoon adds gasoline to the heat.)
(He begins to feel pressured.)
(It's as if the audience is at a festival.)
- Yu Jae Seok! - Yu Jae Seok!
(Yu Jae Seok!)
- Yu Jae Seok! - Yu Jae Seok!
(Show us what you can do, Genius drummer.)
(We awaited your solo drum recital for a week.)
(Pressured)
- Yu Jae Seok! - Yu Jae Seok!
(Perhaps it's the burden of the genius drummer.)
While I am thankful...
I am about to go insane.
So many people came!
I can't believe Kim Tae Ho put me up to this.
(Regardless of his complaints, something begins.)
(The video is enough to make the audience excited.)
(It starts now.)
(Yugo Starr doesn't know the show has begun.)
(The stage light comes on.)
(The solo drum recital will begin now!)
(Music starts.)
1, 2, 3, 4.
Not yet. Not yet.
I will give you a sign.
(They talked about when to begin.)
(At the actual recital, only the drums take the spotlight.)
(Despite Son Star's sign,)
(Jae Seok is nowhere to be seen.)
(He wonders if the microphone is faulty.)
(The audience is unaware.)
(From the audience's point of view, nothing is amiss.)
(It just looks like the perfect beginning.)
(Running)
(Jae Seok begins to play at the right time.)
(It was an ingenious start that fooled everyone.)
(Ta-da)
(The solo drum recital unveils itself.)
Yes, Yugo Starr!
("Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" by The Beatles)
(Drums by Yu Jae Seok)
(Bobbing)
What is it?
(The stage begins to rise.)
Why is this going up?
(Columns of fire are added.)
(Laughing)
(Rising)
(Burning)
(He makes a mistake.)
What is this?
How far will it go up?
(Yugo Starr is near the ceiling.)
(Signaling)
(They exchange signals through the fire.)
(Okay.)
(He comes back to the right beat.)
(The solo drum recital...)
(unfolds mid-air amidst the fire.)
(The fans are satisfied.)
(This is the unprecedented solo drum recital.)
(He shows a small smile.)
(Yugo Starr begins to go down.)
(Looking pretty skillful)
He's in good posture now.
He's at peace.
(He's thinking of Ringo Starr,)
(his favorite one among the Beatles.)
(Yugo Starr fills the stage with "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da".)
(Cheering passionately)
(The opening performance was a success.)
(Yugo Starr comes out to the front of the stage.)
- Yu Jae Seok! - Yu Jae Seok!
- Nice to meet you. - Yu Jae Seok!
(They begin to chant Jae Seok's name.)
I'm so thankful, but there was huge chaos in the backstage.
The music suddenly began,
so I had to run over and get here.
All right. In this autumn of 2019,
there is a single beat that will touch your heart.
We truly welcome you to Yuplash's drum recital.
I'm Yu Hui Yeol.
Hello, I'm Yu Jae Seok.
(The beginning of this historical day is...)
My gosh.
The production crew said they'll invite about 100 people.
Yes, exactly.
- They said it won't be a big deal. - You're right.
I didn't think they'll fill up the entire place.
People who made it here are truly amazing...
because over 20,000 people...
applied to come and see this recital.
- Thank you. - These are the chosen people.
- Once again, we thank... - Goodness.
- everyone for coming. - Thank you for coming.
I didn't think they will bring up the stage like that.
Yes, they didn't tell me that either.
And there was the fire in front of me too.
Why won't they tell me?
I thought they were trying to roast me.
Anyway, if you look over here,
the best musicians in this country...
came out to witness this historical performance...
and give you their support.
- Juck, can you say hello? - Yes, Juck.
Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Juck.
Thank you.
I can't believe this day finally came.
What day?
I feel like I'm at my kid's recital.
- I'm feeling proud. - I see.
- And worried. - Right.
I hope you'll keep it up to the very end,
don't fall down, look ahead, and go on your own journey.
- Thank you. - Sure.
(He recites the lyrics of his song to show him his support.)
There is one person who worked the hardest...
- for this project. - Right.
- He's like your mother bird. - You're right.
- Please welcome Son Star. - Yes, Son Star.
I could play this much in that short while...
thanks to Son Star and many others who helped me out.
Please say hello to everyone one more time.
I'm Son Star, his mother bird drummer.
Yes.
To be honest, I'm not thinking of anything else after this show.
Please make it perfect.
Don't forget the harsh practice you went through.
- I'm about to cry. - Right.
I did my best to create the best performance he can give.
I'm not a product. You created what?
I think you could look forward to seeing...
something that's good enough for those with a strict standard.
- Son Star, I hope you will... - Yes.
lead him through the performance to let him give his best to the end.
- Please give him a hand. - Thank you.
- You can do it! - I can.
All right. I'm looking forward to seeing how much better he got,
how great of a genius he is.
Yes, all right.
Okay, then. Jae Seok.
- Prepare your first performance. - Yes.
(The recital finally begins.)
(How will he do?)
All right, now. The first performance is...
the song that I worked on.
It's the song that was made by many hip-hop artists.
It's called "How Do You Play?"
It's my first time listening to the full song. I look forward to it.
All right, Yuplash, the drum recital.
(He's feeling nervous as he gets ready.)
Let us see his first performance.
(He's feeling nervous too.)
It's "How Do You Play?"
(People show their support by clapping and cheering.)
(Drummer Yu)
(Jae Seok's drum)
(Hui Yeol's keyboard)
(Yoon Sang's bass)
(Sang Soon's acoustic guitar)
(Juk Jae's electric guitar)
Let's make it sound more like a hip-hop song.
(All the hip-hop artists came out.)
(The vocalists who always deliver, Crush and Sam Kim)
(The brass session made the song even richer.)
(The first performance, "How Do You Play?")
("How Do You Play?")
(Yu Jae Seok, Yu Hui Yeol, Yoon Sang, Lee Sang Soon, Juk Jae,)
(Gray, Dynamic Duo, Rhythm Power, Wonstein, Mommy Son, Zior Park,)
(Crush, and Sam Kim)
(Change to "music mode" for a full experience.)
("How Do You Play?")
(By Yu Jae Seok, Yu Hui Yeol, Yoon Sang, Lee Sang Soon, Juk Jae,)
(Gray, Dynamic Duo, Rhythm Power, Boi B, Geegooin, Mommy Son,)
(Wonstein, Zior Park, Crush, Sam Kim, Hong So Jin, Wonderbrass)
(Saxophone by Ju Hyeon Woo, trombone by Park Gyeong Geon,)
(trumpet by Kim Seong Min)
1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2.
(I'm so glad I can die after seeing Jae Seok in real life.)
(Hangout with Yoo, Yuplash)
[VIU Ver] MBC E13 'How Do You Play?' "Jae Seok's Drum Recital" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Keep the drumroll going.
(His first performance ended in a great success.)
(Sighing)
(Great job.)
(Yu Jae Seok, Yu Jae Seok)
That was the first song, "How Do You Play?"
- Yu Jae Seok! - Yu Jae Seok!
Honestly speaking, I wondered if we can really have...
- a drum recital. - Right.
But it looks so cool with the video in the back.
Looking great! Gray.
(The footage of musicians who took part in this song)
It's way too cool.
I have no idea what's going on in the back.
(My eyes are...)
(only fixed on the mother bird of beats.)
My ears are in chaos right now.
Metronome is playing in my one ear,
and Son Star kept telling me, "That's enough. Get ready to play."
(He hears metronome in his left ear,)
(and he hears Son Star in the right ear.)
(Play a little faster.)
(He is the navigation of beats.)
(Keep playing.)
(Stop playing.)
(Play cymbals.)
(Keep going.)
(Stop.)
I am about to go insane.
(There's no break for his two ears.)
Thank you, everyone.
Thanks to his wild training,
on the surface, you look like a professional drummer.
- Thank you. - Sure.
A fill-in is...
something played within the eight-beat.
For example, you played the snares...
or played the cymbals with both hands.
The important thing is to play the next beat on time.
(After a fill-in,)
(he must come back to the original beat.)
I can tell you practiced a lot to be able to play that.
I can even sense how relaxed you were.
You looked like a toy of MBC on the drums.
(He is an MBC mascot with a wire.)
(Nodding)
That was my impression.
That's a great description.
- What kind of... - Muzie is great with words.
I would like to ask. What was that?
You used to just play this beat.
- Now you can play this beat. - I learned it.
(He can now even play to the changed beat.)
(Playing drums)
- When did you learn? - About two days ago.
(Amazed)
About two days ago.
(Impressed)
- Just within days? - It's been a few days.
Maybe three days?
(Pleased)
- He is a genius. - Yes.
(Maybe he was a genius after all.)
The next song...
is the song started first by Lee Juck.
Please briefly introduce the song for us, Lee Juck.
Yes. The vocalists are Paul Kim, Heize,
and Peakboy.
It was just like a scene...
from the movie, "Music and Lyrics".
They created such a romantic atmosphere.
This song will make your ears melt.
The title is "Self-conscious".
I haven't heard the complete song.
And it would be the first live performance for them.
Everyone, it's "Self-conscious"...
by Paul Kim, Heize, and Peakboy!
(Excited)
(Acoustic guitar by Lee Juck,)
(bass guitar by Lee Tae Yoon,)
(chorus by Sunwoo Jung A,)
(drums by Yu Jae Seok,)
(keyboard by Jeong Dong Hwan)
Being self-conscious?
(A song based on the theme of self-consciousness)
That sounds good.
(The song will be sung in the sweet voices...)
(of Paul Kim and Heize.)
(They will be accompanied...)
(by the beautiful sounds of strings,)
(electric guitar, and drums.)
("Self-conscious")
(Yu Jae Seok, Lee Juck, Sunwoo Jung A,)
(Jeong Dong Hwan, Lee Tae Yoon, Paul Kim, Heize, and Peakboy)
("Self-conscious")
(A man and a woman)
(Lifting)
(He is rising between them.)
(How would their song sound?)
(Part 2 will resume shortly.)
("Self-conscious")
(Paul Kim and Heize will perform live.)
(It'll be the first time for Yugo Starr to perform with them.)
(Slowly)
(He is greeting his fans in rather an outlandish manner.)
("Self-conscious")
(By Yu Jae Seok, Lee Juck, Sunwoo Jung A, Jeong Dong Hwan,)
(Lee Tae Yoon, Paul Kim, Heize, Peakboy, Yang Hye Seung,)
(Hong Joon Ho, Kwon Young Chan, and With String)
It's completely different!
Watch my hand.
(I'm so glad I can die after seeing Jae Seok in real life.)
Peakboy!
I didn't know they added the strings!
(With String)
("Self-conscious" stood out in its sweet vocals...)
(and the arrangement for the strings.)
- That was so sweet. - The song was really sweet.
Jae Seok sitting up there...
makes him look like the creator of this beat.
It gives a strong impression that you are the creator.
First, come forward and...
Come forward and...
My goodness. Come forward.
How cool!
You should come forward and join us.
Will we continue to have a talk throughout the recital?
Why are there so many talks?
I don't know.
You should just have the three of them say hello.
- I don't know what's going on. - All right.
It's hilarious because Jae Seok goes back and forth...
between playing the drums and hosting the recital.
I was so worried that I would ruin the song.
You were extremely nervous.
They worked on the song until this morning.
- That's right. - Seriously.
- They worked so hard. - Right.
By the way, you played the drums to the revised version.
- That's right. - That's impressive.
- Really? - Yes.
I am simply following Son Star's instructions.
(You are doing well.)
A few months ago, we had the first meeting.
When I listened to your drum beats...
and played the guitar in the studio,
I had never imagined a performance like this one.
It came back as an incredible song.
It will be one of the most memorable moments...
in my career as a singer and a composer.
I have never had a collaboration like this.
- That's right. - Because...
the drum beats were so simple,
the melody makers such as Heize...
could create a story in a fun way.
I see now that the simple beats perfected the song.
That's exactly what I had in mind.
For this performance,
Paul Kim, Heize, and Peakboy worked hard.
- Please give them a big hand. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Now...
I am personally the most curious...
about the next performance.
The joining of the old and new genius musicians...
made this team the talk of the town.
The titles of the songs are "Please Bother Me"...
and "It's Not That I Couldn't".
Let's check them out now.
(Let's check them out now.)
(Drums by Yu Jae Seok,)
(synth bass by Yun Seok Cheol,)
(electric guitar by Han Sang Won,)
(drums by Lee Sang Min,)
(chorus by Sunwoo Jung A)
(Jae Seok, Sang Min, Seok Cheol, Sang Won, and Jung A)
(Part 2)
(Vocal and producing by SUMIN)
(Part 2 features the best musicians.)
(As for Part 1)
(Docskim's vintage arrangement)
(Cool?)
(Our style?)
(To the music,)
(Hwang So Yoon added her vocal and guitar.)
(How should we carry on with this?)
(Part 1 and Part 2 have different charms.)
("Please Bother Me" and "It's Not That I Couldn't")
(Yu Jae Seok, Sunwoo Jung A, Yun Seok Cheol, Han Sang Won,)
(Lee Sang Min, Docskim,)
(Part 1: Hwang So Yoon, Part 2: SUMIN)
("Please Bother Me" and "It's Not That I Couldn't")
(By Yu Jae Seok, Sunwoo Jung A, Yun Seok Cheol, Lee Sang Min,)
(Han Sang Won, Docskim, Hwang So Yoon, and SUMIN)
Please bother me. I'm begging you.
(So Yoon and Docskim appear as the stage opens.)
(The atmosphere changes when the 2nd verse begins.)
I really like this song.
(With Jung A's chorus,)
(the stage opens again.)
SUMIN.
It's hilarious to see Jae Seok among all those musicians.
It's an unimaginable performance.
(It's an unimaginable performance.)
(So Yoon's guitar solo)
(Sang Won's guitar creates a harmony.)
It's the best.
(Sang Won's guitar creates a harmony.)
(Keyboard picks up the baton.)
(Seok Cheol...)
(and Docskim's...)
(keyboard solo)
(The melody gets supported by...)
(Jae Seok and Sang Min's drums.)
(Next comes Jae Seok's drum solo.)
(Jae Seok's signature fill-in)
(He shows the upgraded drum fill-in!)
(Sang Min's drums follow Jae Seok's fill-in.)
(The perfect ending)
(Everyone gives a standing ovation.)
(The applause continues.)
(Son Star is exhausted.)
It was a shocking performance.
I never imagined...
I'd be able to witness such a high-quality performance.
I loved everything about this performance...
including all the vocalists, musicians, songwriters, and so on.
(Thank you.)
It felt like I was at a concert of a famous foreign band.
While I was watching,
I kept thinking, "Gosh, I can't believe what I'm seeing."
To that extent, it was totally amazing.
That's right.
Everyone here including Hui Yeol is an amazing musician.
Please give them a big hand.
These guys surprised me again.
The running time of this recital is actually quite long.
The fact...
that this music will be aired during prime time on the weekend...
- Yes. - That alone makes me very thankful.
- That's a huge compliment. - You guys are the best.
Each of the members here is a hidden master in music.
Can you introduce yourselves 1 by 1?
Hello, I'm a drummer, Lee Sang Min. Nice to meet you all.
(Nice to meet you too.)
Hello, I'm a guitarist, Han Sang Won.
(It's an honor.)
Hi, I'm a guitarist and vocalist, Se So Neon's Hwang So Yoon.
(You're so cool.)
Hello, I'm a keyboardist and a producer, Docskim.
(Docskim passionately showed off his keyboard skills.)
Hi, I'm a singer-songwriter, SUMIN.
(I'm a huge fan.)
Hello, I'm a pianist and keyboardist, Yun Seok Cheol.
(Cheering)
Hello, I'm eight-beat Yu Jae Seok.
(What a funny introduction.)
I have a question for Sang Min.
- And I want you to be honest. - Okay.
- There were two drummers, right? - Yes, that's true.
Was he a hindrance or a help?
(Is Yu Jae Seok really a genius drummer?)
(Or is he simply a mediocre rookie drummer?)
- Be honest. - Honestly speaking,
I'd like to recommend Jae Seok to keep pursuing a drumming career.
I mean it.
It hasn't even been that long since he started playing drums.
However, he managed to nail it during the drum break...
and tried out a lot of different variations.
- Something different than before. - Yes, that's right.
And also, when he did the drum solo earlier,
- he showed off some skills. - Yes, he did.
And what about that performance at the ending? That was so awesome.
You should seriously consider learning it.
Yes, you should start working on it in earnest.
Seriously, start practicing it 10 hours a day...
and throw a concert with me in 10 years.
- I highly recommend it. - Excuse me.
Before I learn to play drums, you should practice the keyboard.
Yu Rin Gi's debut is just around the corner.
(A joint project between Yu San Seul and Yu Rin Gi is coming soon.)
I'm Yu San Seul and you're Yu Rin Gi.
(Please wait for the collaboration between Yu San Seul and Yu Rin Gi.)
Yu San Seul and Yu Rin Gi.
Anyway, Lee Juck.
Han Sang Won and Lee Sang Min are the former members of Gigs.
- Yes, they were. - And you've watched their stage.
Yes, that made me feel a mixture of emotions.
When we released the album and worked together...
It was almost 20 years ago.
So I had a flashback to those old days for a while,
which got me thinking, "I'd like to perform with them on stage."
Actually, Gigs was formed while you were doing jam music.
So you could have fun together in performing music.
Lee Juck, you know there are drums, right?
And there's a microphone too.
(The audience goes wild after getting wind of it.)
Gigs' specialty was improv like jam music, anyway.
- Come on. - That sounds good.
- The former members are all here. - Let us see...
since you guys are all here.
- All right, then. - Please shout, "Lee Juck!"
- Lee Juck! Lee Juck! - Lee Juck! Lee Juck!
- Well, I mean... - Come down for a second.
Please come on down.
- Okay, I'll come down then. - That's great.
Unexpectedly, we get a chance to watch such a great performance.
- Lee Juck used to belong to Gigs. - They used to...
- just hang out and do some music. - That's right.
(That was as long as 20 years ago though.)
Do you think it'll work?
- Yes. - Do you think so?
- Just one month... - Lee Juck is here.
- Come this way, Lee Juck. - He was dragged out here.
Now that I'm here, it feels a lot different.
You've got a guitarist, a drummer, and a vocalist...
but a keyboardist.
It'd be great if Seok Cheol can help us.
Since I was a huge fan of Gigs when I was little,
I'm so honored.
But the fact that you're trying to do this on impulse...
(This impulsive suggestion...)
Does that make you feel unpleasant?
- Are you saying it's unpleasant? - No, I'm not.
- It's not like that. - Seok Cheol, everyone here...
including me never planned to be here.
- Then what kind of song... - Yes.
How about "Crush"? Because it's all in one chord.
- I think that will do. - "Crush" sounds great.
(The iconic song of Gigs during their salad days 20 years ago)
(They were young and full of energy.)
(Han Sang Won)
(Just the thought of seeing them together makes everyone excited.)
Then the former Gig's members, please prepare for the performance.
And please give a big hand again to the musicians on the stage.
Thank you.
(Gigs reunites for the 1st time in 20 years.)
You did a great job.
I'm not sure if this part will be aired or not,
but I hope you enjoy it.
I don't think we can perform a whole song.
Yu Jae Seok was here on this spot throughout the whole time.
Now a real drummer will take over the spot.
(A real drummer will take over the spot.)
(Meanwhile, Yugo Starr is...)
- Let's practice again, Star. - All right, let's practice.
This one is easy.
(During the intermission, he's practicing the next song.)
(At the same time, on the stage)
(Gigs has abruptly reunited.)
(The members who used to be young and fresh...)
(turned into middle-aged men.)
(What kind of melody will the reunited Gigs bring out?)
("Crush" by Gigs)
(Vocal by Lee Juck, guitar by Han Sang Won)
(Drums by Lee Sang Min, keyboard by Yun Seok Cheol)
(As soon as the song begins, people start grooving.)
(Gigs' reunion again)
Guitar!
(Han Sang Won's guitar solo)
Keyboard!
(Yun Seok Cheol's keyboard solo)
Drums!
(Lee Sang Min's drum solo)
(Breaking off)
(He doesn't even flinch although his stick broke off.)
(It broke off.)
(The reunion after 20 years)
("Crush" by Gigs)
Thank you.
Guitar, Han Sang Won!
Keyboard, Yun Seok Cheol!
Drums, Lee Sang Min!
And I'm Lee Juck. Thank you!
(Vocal by Lee Juck)
Gosh, that was amazing.
(Overwhelmed)
- This is it. - That was unbelievable.
- Do you believe they improvised it? - It doesn't make sense.
Lee Juck's on fire.
- He still has that cheeky vibe. - He was awesome.
That sound was incredible.
Four of you, can you please come back to the stage?
I was so surprised as the drum stick snapped off in the middle.
- It broke. - Yes, one of the sticks broke.
It broke.
(Really?)
That's why he started to play with one hand...
after the drum solo.
But the team never stopped.
- We just kept playing. - Exactly!
(The rhythm never stopped.)
It was an extraordinary performance.
Did you break a little beforehand to show off your talent?
- He broke a little here. - Just a little.
He could have stopped it, but he kept on playing anyway.
I didn't want to break the mood.
(I didn't want to break the mood during our jam session.)
It's been a while since we performed together.
I was so surprised and started to look for extras.
When I asked for any extras, they said Jae Seok took all of them.
He took all the sticks.
(Playing the drums)
(Very calm)
(Left hand is just a helping hand.)
(He can still show a powerful performance...)
(with just one drumstick.)
(Our Beat Creator...)
(is preparing for the next stage...)
(that will be filled with simple beats...)
(while holding his drumsticks tight in both hands.)
I am worried because after this stage...
Jae Seok needs to perform again.
He needs to play the same drum at the same spot.
Poor Jae Seok.
Please give a round of applause to the four of them!
Thank you.
(It's like meeting the first love in 20 years.)
(It was a fantastic impromptu performance by Gigs!)
It was great.
The next song...
is my second relay line.
It attracted a lot of attention...
with the news of Zion.T's participation as the vocalist.
The title is "Confused".
Today we have Kim Ea Na,
who participated in writing lyrics for the song.
It's your first time hearing the complete song, right?
Yes, I haven't heard the song with the vocalist.
I am sure the song "Confused" will have a different charm.
Please give a round of big applause.
(How did Jae Seok's beat further evolve?)
(She listened to the incomplete song endlessly...)
As if I am talking to someone.
(as she wrote the lyrics.)
("Confused")
(Yu Jae Seok, Yu Hui Yeol, Yoon Sang, Lee Sang Soon,)
(Juk Jae, Colde, Kim Ea Na, and Zion.T)
(Zion.T is the last person to complete the song.)
(The raid of the Beat Creator)
Hello, Zion.T!
- Welcome! - Hello.
- How are you, Zion.T? - I am fine. How are you?
You look more handsome.
Thank you.
Why are you looking to that side?
You look to the side as if you are in a drama.
You look more handsome.
It's been a while since I saw you without sunglasses.
You finally opened your heart more than before.
- Can you tell? - I can tell.
You didn't smile this much, too.
- I didn't. - Exactly.
I didn't' express myself much.
You no longer have braces too.
- Yes, I am done with that. - Congratulations.
- You are very observant. - Of course.
Can I hear the music a little bit?
(He is listening to the music in progress.)
(Hello, you)
(He still has that sentimental voice.)
(You, Zion.T...)
(Proud)
(Drum playing)
This is my beat!
(I know what it's like.)
The snares are really good.
(He gives a great compliment.)
(On the great snare sounds,)
(Zion.T's voice harmonizes flawlessly.)
(This open-minded musician's masterpiece is still in progress.)
This is just awesome. I love it.
- Please do your best until the end. - Sure.
- Thank you. - See you.
I love the song. I completely love it.
Were you here too, So Mi?
- How are you, So Mi? - Hello.
How did you come here? Is this your agency?
I didn't know you two belong to the same agency.
I was about to leave after listening to the song.
I brought snacks so you can stay longer.
But So Mi...
What were you doing?
I made this beat that has been going around for a while.
Zion.T sang to the beat.
It just sounds amazing.
- I am envious. - Why?
I really like the song.
Then do you want to sing the chorus?
- Should I? - That sounds great, So Mi.
I would love to do that.
That's a great idea.
We could use a refreshing voice.
- Sure. - That sounds good.
(I am still not sure)
Can you sing in a more refreshing voice?
Refreshing? Okay.
(Refreshing)
- Can you sound more annoyed? - Okay.
End it with an annoying tone like this.
(That's when it started...)
Can you sing it again as you smile a little?
Sing it with a meaner voice.
- Decrease the air by 30 percent. - Okay.
- Can you add some more air? - Okay, got it.
Just like how you talk to a friend on the phone...
while getting a pedicure.
(What does that mean?)
Try to answer half-heartedly.
(An example)
How do you know what it sounds like?
- What? - How do you know about that?
I have done it before. Let's give it a try.
I didn't put it on myself. Let's start.
(How would the collaboration of these two soulful singers sound?)
("Confused")
(Looking tired)
(Yugo Starr rises again.)
- He is going up again! - It must be scary.
(Fans are cheering for him...)
(in case he gets scared.)
(The hit song maker appears on stage.)
(Good luck!)
(He sits down.)
The two of them look similar.
- I agree. - The two of them.
("Confused")
(By Yu Jae Seok, Yu Hui Yeol, Yoon Sang, Lee Sang Soon, Juk Jae,)
(Colde, Kim Ea Na, Zion.T,)
(Jeon So Mi, and Hong So Jin)
(It's Kim Ea Na's handwriting.)
(I'm so glad I can die after seeing Jae Seok in real life.)
(Say, "Yuplash".)
(Yuplash!)
(Say, "Yu Jae Seok".)
(Yu Jae Seok!)
(Everyone becomes united.)
("Confused")
(It's a collaboration between the genius drummer...)
(and hit song makers.)
(After he poured out his passion)
(Rattling)
Please give another round of applause to Zion.T and Colde!
It's unbelievable.
- Is it your first time hearing it? - Yes.
- The lyrics are beautiful. - Right.
(The lyrics are the best.)
I really like the song.
- I mean it. - Thank you.
- Now you have relaxed enough... - Yes.
- to listen to the song? - It's great.
Come this way.
Did you take a close look at Jae Seok's face...
as he was playing drums?
You have a strange gesture.
What is it?
You keep doing that.
I am completely immersed in music.
I don't remember what I did.
Now that you sang to it, what did you think of Jae Seok's drum beat?
First of all,
when I was asked, without any information,
"There is a song with Jae Seok's drum beat."
"Would you like to participate?"
I said, "Sure."
After I received it, I realized that it went through many people.
It...
wasn't really easy.
This is it. Zion.T wanted to say that it wasn't easy.
He was really surprised.
He was trying to make these two points.
- Mainly two things, right? - Yes, two things.
And I've been meaning to ask something to Colde.
He's the one who edited...
Jae Seok's drumbeats.
I see.
How was it like? It must've been so hard.
Because his drumbeats were quite primitive...
- It's a bit wild, isn't it? - Yes, it is.
People say that it reminds them of a jungle.
I personally prefer something minimal,
so I really liked those drumbeats.
Paul Kim, how was it?
When he sang this part, it just blew my mind.
(I'm still confused)
I don't think I can forget it.
It keeps lingering in my head.
- Kim Ea Na. - Yes.
There was some handwriting on the screen in the back.
- Yes. - It's Kim Ea Na's handwriting.
That's right.
(The lyrics were handwritten by Kim Ea Na.)
By the way, while watching the lyrics,
I broke into a nervous sweat although I'm not the one who sang.
Because I didn't know I wrote the lyrics that blunt.
Because there was no one...
who told me what's okay or what's not.
So during the whole time I was writing the lyrics,
I was a bit scared.
And that reflected in the lyrics.
You know, that part "spineless".
That was quite fascinating.
When I wrote those lyrics, I thought about...
Zion.T's voice.
So when I watched the performance, I felt like I got a surprise gift.
Thank you.
(I'm so honored.)
For these guys who showed us a great performance,
Yu Jae Seok, Zion.T, and Colde,
- please send a round of applause. - Thank you.
Thank you.
(Yuplash's songs will be released on Bugs after the show.)
Thank you.
There's something I need to tell you guys.
The production crew has been prepared something...
without me, you, or the musicians knowing.
They have prepared one more special performance.
I only heard about this...
when I arrived here today.
Hearing the news, I was glad and nervous at the same time.
I had a lot of feelings mixed in my mind.
What kind of performance could that be?
Let's hear together.
(What kind of performance will it be?)
(All ears)
(Drum rolls)
(And another collaboration)
It's Hae Chul.
(The musician...)
(who changed the history of Korea's modern music)
(The man...)
(who was called "Dark Lord")
(Shin Hae Chul)
(Yu Jae Seok to Shin Hae Chul)
In Korean society, everyone who has a traditional father...
would probably feel the same.
We don't share feelings with our fathers.
On this occasion,
I want to tell my father how much I've loved him since I was little.
Thank you.
("Father and I, Part 1" and "Father and I, Part 2"...)
(consist of a monologue...)
(of the 25-year-old Shin Hae Chul about his stories with his father.)
A long time ago...
(Two songs of Part 1 and Part 2 are in N.EX.T's 1st and 5.5th albums.)
When I looked up,
his shoulder stood up high like an enormous mountain.
He was young,
passionate,
and burning with ambition.
To me, he was the strongest person in the world.
("Father and I" is a tribute to the strongest father in the world.)
(And there was...)
(another version of "Father and I".)
(N.EX.T's unreleased song, "Father and I, Part Three")
Really?
(The voice of the 37-year-old Shin Hae Chul from 2004)
The river between him and me...
is still flowing.
However, rains of reconciliation pour down over that river.
And even sometimes,
beautiful clouds float away.
"When I had hard times,"
"I used to listen to your song, 'Fly, Chick'..."
"and found peace of mind."
"For me, who dreamed about the day I'd fly high,"
"this song has been my friend."
"The last verse of the song came into my mind."
"'Please be my friend in the next life.'"
"You'll always be remembered as Dark Lord in my mind."
"For you."
(I'm so glad I can die after seeing Jae Seok in real life.)
(Next Saturday, the last story of Yuplash)
