The magical Thursday night with top stars.
- Happy Together! - Happy Together!
Yoon Hee looks like she's on her summer trip.
- Right. - So do you and Hyun Moo.
- Us? This is the resort style. - Yes.
- You look like resort staff. - This is the resort staff style.
- This is the resort staff style. - Right.
It's been scorching hot since the rainy season ended.
We all have to take good care of our health.
- Actually, - Yes?
there's a typical opening comment of cultural-informative programs.
- Show us. You've done it a lot. - What is it?
- Tell us how to beat the heat. - Yes.
Welcome to "Live Info Show". I'm Jun Hyun Moo.
What are the ways to beat the heat?
- What are they? - You can go to a nearby valley,
and wash your back with cold water.
- Hyun Moo, I have a better idea. - What is it?
You can just cut a cool watermelon into pieces and...
There's nothing like it.
(There's nothing like it.)
Amazing stars are waiting at the back right now.
Let's bring them out. Please come out!
- Oh, my. Jung Seung Hwan, - Hello.
- Jung Jae Hyung, and Ben are here. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Are you okay? - Hello.
Today, we invited great musicians...
who can help us beat the heat.
Listening to their voices is like receiving a gift.
It's "Christmas in August". We'll introduce them one by one.
The sensitive musician who creates unique music with great depth.
He released a new album after nine years.
The lovely music fairy, Jung Jae Hyung!
(Jung Jae Hyung)
Hello. I'm Jung Jae Hyung.
- Who's next? - He's the best vocalist in Korea...
whose voice always gives us the chills.
He has outstanding singing skills and an appealing voice.
Men's favorite singer at a karaoke,
Yoon Min Soo!
(Yoon Min Soo)
Drinking is always the problem.
He's an autumn man who seems romantic 365 days a year.
The heart-warming ballad singer,
the idol ballad singer from Antenna Music,
Jung Seung Hwan!
(Jung Seung Hwan)
He's Justin Timberlake of Antenna Music.
Why did you compare him to Justin Timberlake?
I've never heard that before.
He's the only artist in the agency who can dance.
- Would you like to see him dance? - Can we?
- Sure. Come on. Show them. - Why would you make me dance?
(Suddenly, he's asked to dance.)
- We don't usually do this. - Is that so?
Do you host "Immortal Songs" like this?
- That's right. I do. - You came too close while clapping.
He almost hit Jae Seok's nose.
Then I'll do a BTS song.
- It's "DNA". - Please show us.
- Really? - He learned to dance.
(How will the idol star of Antenna Music perform "DNA"?)
(Dazzling dance skills)
- That's great. See? He's talented. - My goodness.
(Seung Hwan, you're doing great.)
(Justin Seung Hwan Timberlake)
Every time she releases a new song, she dominates all the music charts.
She sings so powerfully with such a small physique.
The small giant of the music industry, Ben!
(Ben)
Hello.
I'm the small, cute, and cherishable Ben.
Good job.
He's loved for his calm, yet sharp singing voice...
which is called the icicle voice.
The singer with a unique feel, Kim Feel!
(Kim Feel)
He's so handsome.
She's the collaboration queen that all singers want to sing with.
She has such a charming, addictive voice.
The singer with a voice we all want to have, Soyou!
(Soyou)
All of today's guests are always ranked high...
- on music charts. - They're all chart-topping singers.
We can just hold a music festival with them.
- Absolutely. - This is an amazing lineup.
Jae Hyung, it's been nine years.
- We waited so long. - It's my 1st album in 9 years.
This is the first time in my life...
that I've appeared on a variety show to promote my album.
- Oh, my. - The title of my new album...
is "Avec Piano", which means "with piano".
I released another piano album called "Le Petit Piano", right?
My piano skills and music grew up since then,
so I made songs to play with other musical instruments.
I don't understand a word he said.
- It's difficult. - Did he just say piano brand names?
- What's so difficult about it? - What does "le petit" mean?
- In fact, Jae Hyung, your music... - You weren't listening to me.
Should I say it's too high quality for us?
- It's difficult. - Indeed.
The songs that I think are easy to listen...
- seem difficult for people. - Exactly.
However, "The Innocent Macho" is a very difficult song.
But people consider songs like that easy to listen and like them.
"The Innocent Macho" wasn't so difficult.
- Exactly. - Right.
It made me think I should learn to tell what makes songs...
easy for people to listen to.
You said that when you checked a music chart,
you found an online comment...
that you liked very much.
It wasn't an online comment. It was a song review.
There was a song review event for my new album.
Someone said, "His music gave me a chance to reflect on myself."
- That's the best compliment. - That surely is.
You can comfort other people with words easily,
But it's hard to find a song that can comfort people.
And I accomplished it.
(What a twist.)
- I understand. - What was that?
- It took me some time, - What is he talking about?
but I understand what you mean.
Was it you that posted the comment?
Min Soo is tilting his head.
Take a short nap.
(Take a short nap.)
- Have something to eat. - We began early in the morning.
It's quite early in the morning now.
It's embarrassing to compliment myself.
I just wanted to say that it's a good album.
Of course.
When it comes to Jae Hyung's music,
music chart rankings are meaningless.
- I believe... - That's right.
even after several decades,
- 100 years, or 200 years... - He makes great songs.
- 200 years? - 200 years?
- He'll be acknowledged after that? - That's pointless.
- That's not what I'm saying. - That's just pointless.
He means that the value will go up as time passes.
His music will be appreciated even more over time.
- Absolutely. - I've never introduced my album.
So I'm very nervous.
I heard...
that you decided to come on the show because Sae Ho convinced you.
That's right. Not long ago, we had a drink together.
- I said I was too nervous. - I see.
He told me not to worry as he would make me look good.
- He said... - Worry about yourself.
(Worry about yourself.)
- Make yourself look good. - I'm sorry,
but how are you going to make him look good?
I'll help him tell stories well.
- You should help him a lot. - I think I drank too much.
(This is how harmful too much drinking can be.)
I said, "Why don't you trust me just as I trust myself?"
However, Jae Hyung talked badly of you, Jae Seok.
What did he say?
When he was hesitating to appear on the show, you said,
"Then tell him not to come on the show."
I told Jae Hyung what you said.
I didn't know you were that kind of person.
- He said he'd come to hit you. - I see.
- I'm here just to prove you wrong. - See? You're here after all.
Being nice doesn't work...
on people like him.
You should provoke him. "Tell him not to come if he doesn't want to."
Then they get upset and decide to come just like he did.
- Oh, I see. - That's why I'm here, indeed.
There was an incident that made you sensitive on a variety show.
I heard that you got very angry because of Jae Seok's new show.
- What happened? - You got angry again?
When I'm working on a new album and finishing the whole process,
I tend to be very sensitive.
But since it's Director Kim Tae Ho and Jae Seok's show,
I decided to appear on the show.
However, I never knew the show would be aired...
at the same time as my show, "Immortal Songs".
It was aired at the same time.
So the whole part that I appeared was edited out.
I filmed it for a week.
I'd like to explain on behalf of the staff.
- We have to pass the camera around. - That's right.
Why did you have it for so long?
I was told that I could film as long as I wanted.
Did you film it knowing the schedule of the show?
- No. It wasn't decided back then. - It wasn't decided.
I see. That's why.
- Last week, his face was blurred. - That's right.
Some people said they thought I was a criminal.
I felt bad for him.
My mother was also surprised.
"What on earth happened to him?"
Anyone could recognize his face, but his face was blurred.
He was on another show at the same time.
- They had no choice. - There was nothing they could do.
Anyway, his show is getting good responses.
- I'm happy for him. - All right.
Min Soo said he was puzzled...
by Jae Hyung's appearance.
When you think of Jae Hyung, you consider him...
as a pianist rather than a singer.
- That's right. - Yes.
Musicians like Kim Kwang Min,
- Yiruma, - Yiruma.
Yu Hui Yeol, and Yoon Jong Shin...
would have been a better match with him as guests.
Also, if you consider the ages of the guests,
it's a bit awkward for him to be here.
The same goes for you, Min Soo.
You're not that much younger than him.
You should be grateful that I'm here too.
He's the oldest on this side, and you're the oldest on that side.
It's just that my child is not so young.
(Yoon Hoo, his son)
I got married early, but I'm still young.
So many people think that I'm older than I am.
- You're not that young. - How old are you?
- He's younger than I thought. - I'm quite young.
- How old are you? - I was born in 1980.
(Hyun Moo was born in 1977.)
Were you younger than me?
I'm younger than you.
I'm older than you?
(I'm younger than you.)
- I'm older than you? - Yes, you are.
- You're three years older than me. - You see,
- I really didn't know. - I understand Hyun Moo...
because there's a rumor that Min Soo is a good fighter.
Anyone stronger than me has seniority over me.
Unless the person is much older than you,
- it's hard to talk casually to you. - I really thought...
I'm so nervous that this side of my face feels hot.
I thought you were born in 1976.
No. I'm still young.
Maybe it's because he has a child.
Also, Jae Hyung is genius as a musician, right?
- Of course. - He sure is.
But to be honest, as a singer,
I think he has a lot to improve.
That's ridiculous!
(He blurted out how he felt as he got upset.)
- I'm sorry. I got emotional. - Don't be childish.
Why? Don't you like it?
Do you hate it?
(I hate Min Soo.)
- You hate it? - Gosh.
- This is so childish. - You hate it so much?
The two oldest guests are being so silly.
- It's because they're very close. - Right.
I didn't know he would hate it.
Min Soo, we heard a lot of good news about you.
"Drunk on Love", the duet song with Jang Hye Jin...
- became a big hit. - Since "The Man, the Woman",
- you didn't sing with her. - It's been 13 years.
(They sang together for the 1st time in 13 years.)
Many people say that a song with "drinking" in the title...
- always become a big hit. - Exactly.
I think that's because...
- many people can relate to it. - I see.
Didn't "Fall in Fall" become a hit as well?
- Which song? - "Fall in Fall".
- That was a big hit. - It became a hit as well.
- I listened to that song... - That's right.
- so many times last year. - He listened to it every day.
(It's a bad impersonation.)
That's enough.
- Stop it. - Hang on. Listen to me.
Did you teach Hyun Moo how to sing?
(I drink every day)
(He omits the consonants.)
That's not right.
(I drink every day)
- I'm sorry, Min Soo. Oh, boy. - It's okay. Hold on a second.
- It was good, right? - It's all because...
we love your songs.
I finally found the one who started it.
- And he was the best. - Right?
I sing with sincerity.
(Even men's favorite singer at a karaoke acknowledged him.)
- Great. - He's good.
- He sounded most similar to me. - My goodness.
This song is all men's favorite song.
- They imitate you all day long. - "Fall in Fall".
Fall in fall
- They have a problem. - I listened to that song a lot.
Thank you.
If your song ranks high on the music charts,
do you check it every morning?
I wouldn't say I check it every morning.
I check it late at night too.
I check it whenever I have time.
I want to check it now.
- It's understandable. - You know,
singers are like that since the charts change every hour.
- I know I shouldn't obsess over it, - That's right.
but I can't help myself.
- It's bound to happen. - That's right.
Your son knows that your song is doing well, right?
To be honest, my son doesn't care.
- I see. - Really?
Doesn't he sing along?
Don't children his age listen to music?
I don't know what it is,
but he feels a sense of rivalry.
- A sense of rivalry. - Do you mean as a fellow celebrity?
- That's not what I mean. - He is your son.
He always goes,
"I will grow up and do this better than Dad."
He tries hard to be better at sports than me.
- It means he likes you a lot. - That's right.
You are his goal.
- That's right. - It's a good thing.
His digital music sales are as strong as Min Soo's.
Jung Seung Hwan.
Seung Hwan, you said that...
- Hyun Moo makes you nervous. - Why?
I debuted through an audition program...
- that was hosted by Hyun Moo. - That's right.
He announced who will leave or stay...
after each round every week.
- I think it traumatized me. - I see.
When I hear his voice, I feel like I will be eliminated.
(I feel like I will be eliminated.)
- I feel nervous. - I see.
His voice affects me.
It was my job to make the contestants nervous.
- Please do it for us. - Please do it.
"K-pop Star".
- The Top Four. - That's it!
Who will get eliminated?
It drives me crazy.
He sounds so annoying.
- He sounds so annoying. - Hyun Moo should be eliminated.
I know.
Hyun Moo should be eliminated.
I had dreams about it for a while.
I am sure...
everyone from an audition program has trauma.
- Seriously. - It was painful for me...
to see them so nervous.
The production crew tells me...
to buy time by going, "Who will be eliminated?"
Then the viewers' ratings skyrocket per minutes.
(That happens when Hyun Moo reveals who will be eliminated.)
You are a slave of viewers' ratings!
I am M.O.C.
The Monster of Capitalism.
He is a slave.
Kim Feel, you are also from an audition program.
You nodded along when Seung Hwan told his story.
Did you relate to it?
Kim Seong Ju hosted the audition program I was in.
- Kim Seong Ju. - Yes.
I was like that for a while too.
It's the former announcers who eliminate the contestants.
- That's right. - They have good diction.
It's more annoying.
- They have good diction. - It's very clear.
- They have good pronunciation. - You can't miss the result.
Don't you feel bad for the contestants?
I do feel bad.
I do feel bad because they look so nervous,
but there are other emotions as well.
On one hand, I feel like I am being cruel.
"The viewers' ratings must be going up."
There is a mix of emotions.
I remember Seung Hwan's face.
- Really? - He struggled a lot.
- I see. - I never looked at Hyun Moo.
(I can't look at him.)
I couldn't do that.
I kept trying to meet your eye.
Now, I am fine.
- It's all in the past. - Hyun Moo is...
the Monster of Show Business.
(Hyun Moo is the Monster of Show Business.)
M.O.S.
- That's me. - "Hello, I am M.O.S."
When I hosted the audition show,
interviewing Seung Hwan was the most difficult.
He always gave curt answers...
with a drawn face.
He is really good now.
He is.
One time, I went to a concert by Antenna Music.
- He spoke better than Yu Hui Yeol. - That's right.
- I was so surprised. - That's right.
- What surprises me is that... - What is it?
Jae Hyung still can't talk.
(Jae Hyung still can't talk.)
Seriously.
(He just laughs without saying a word.)
When Hui Yeol teases him...
My goodness.
- I know what he does. - He only laughs.
- He overuses the same set of words. - That's right.
- He overuses the same set of words. - I am a talented musician.
You should be satisfied with how I talk.
I used to babble on TV.
It's about time you improve.
Jae Hyung improved a lot.
- That's right. - He improved a lot.
Back in the days, he didn't talk much.
I miss those days.
(He misses the days Jae Hyun babbled.)
- He was better back then. - I know.
We have a guest who is a big support to Min Soo.
"Love, Ing", "180 Degree", and "Thank You for Goodbye".
The singer whose songs swept the charts, Ben!
Ben!
I heard that you are fascinated to be on Happy Together.
It's my first time to meet Jae Seok...
since my debut.
It's my first time to meet you, Ben.
- It's so fascinating. - I see.
"Gosh, it's Yu Jae Seok!"
She took pictures.
- You are on the show with Min Soo. - Yes.
You struggled a lot because of him as he's the president.
- That's right. - You know,
- I am not the president. - You aren't?
- He is the producer now. - I am the ex-president.
- You are the ex-president. - Who is the president now?
- Well... - It's someone else.
- I see. - It's someone else.
- It's a good thing. - There have been some changes.
"It's a good thing"?
Since I have never been on a talk show before,
I was worried. So knowing that Min Soo will be here...
was a relief.
But he makes me do strange things.
I used the same waiting room as him.
You must be sick and tired of him.
It looks like she hates him.
Just when I thought I succeeded to escape from him...
You thought you succeeded to escape from him.
They made you use the same waiting room as him.
I was getting comfortable these days.
I had to continue practicing...
because he was watching me.
What does he make you do?
He makes me show my talents.
Why?
I don't even know.
He used to be an MC for "Immortal Songs".
- That's right. - Since "Immortal Songs" is...
a competition, he's always very competitive.
I wanted to stay calm in the waiting room...
- to sing well later on. - That's right.
He continued to tell me which talents I should show.
It's so you can get more screentime.
Min Soo was in charge of the contestants' talents.
- I see. - "Do this. Do that."
"Keep going."
- He even made me dance. - What did you prepare for the show?
- Did you imitate someone? - Me?
I imitated him.
- Really? - She is the best.
- Min Soo? - Seriously.
- Seriously. - We must hear it.
- We must hear it. - You have to do it now.
(Yoon Min Soo's version of "Love, ing")
(She goes on mute intermittently.)
(She belts intermittently.)
(She gets started in earnest.)
(Shouting)
(She wraps it up with a shout.)
She is good.
- That was great. - Imitate Jae Hyung.
- Imitate Jae Hyung. - Nope.
(Nope.)
Please do it again.
(She uses her nasal voice.)
A lot of people say that...
Min Soo and Ben are like dad and daughter.
You recently took the top 1 and 2 on music charts.
Ben and Yoon Min Soo.
How did it feel?
It must have felt good.
To be honest,
ever since Ben was a trainee...
(He remembers the time Ben was a trainee.)
She lived in Incheon.
The practice room was in Seocho-dong.
- But... - She lived very far.
Even when there was a storm,
she didn't miss a single day of practice.
(Ben always came to practice.)
She practiced every day for years.
- Years? - For years,
she practiced.
Then she began to sing OSTs...
and became more well-known.
This time,
she finally topped the charts.
She is more than a singer in your agency.
- She is like a family member. - Yes.
When I saw us on the charts as the top 1 and 2,
- I bet you were touched. - I was touched.
- You were proud. - Yes.
- Did you take a screenshot? - Of course.
I posted it on Instagram.
(I have to post it.)
How did it feel to top the charts?
- How did it feel? - I bet it was unbelievable.
To be honest...
It's still on the charts.
I just think, "That song is ranked high."
It doesn't feel like it's my song.
Back in the days, I was desperate for a chance to perform.
Although I had debuted,
it was really hard to release a song...
and take the stage.
While it's nice to be the top one, I am more touched that...
so many people listened to my song.
- That's right. - These days,
there are people who wait for my songs.
I am so thankful for that.
It's hard to enter the top 100.
- Yes. - It's quite a feat.
It's really hard. It's impressive.
Jae Hyung, you are in the same agency as Seung Hwan.
If the two of you release a song at the same time,
would you yield?
Would I yield? No.
(Would I yield? No.)
I was joking.
I know you weren't joking.
I felt your sincerity.
What is your problem?
I know him very well.
I know you meant what you said.
Seung Hwan won't yield either.
I didn't laugh.
- I... - I didn't laugh.
The genres would differ. I write instrumental pieces.
I didn't think it would feel so good to see him succeed.
I can't stop thinking about it.
I would look at the music charts and go,
"How did his song place?"
I can really yield for him.
When my song placed first,
he called me late at night and congratulated me.
Gosh. He has no manners.
Why did he call late at night?
He shouldn't have done that.
Seung Hwan needs to sleep and keep his throat healthy.
- Come on! - Otherwise, his throat will be dry.
I have a question for Ben and Seung Hwan.
When your song ranks high, do people treat you differently?
I wouldn't say people treat me differently.
Hui Yeol...
isn't the type to show his excitement.
- He does it behind your back. - I heard that.
Antenna Music is near my place, so I drop by sometimes.
Seung Hwan is there all the time.
If I compare his current state to how he was in the beginning...
This is what I think.
Seung Hwan used to walk around carefully.
Now, he opens the door with force.
(He opens the door with force.)
Seriously.
(He was shy in the beginning.)
(The force of a successful musician)
There is a difference.
- He doesn't hesitate. - He used to be shy.
"Hello." Now, he opens the door with force.
"You have this door thanks to me."
I had no idea.
He lets the others know about his presence.
- It's understandable. - Yes.
Feel, how is it for you? How are you doing...
in the agency?
It's my first time to enter a proper agency.
(Ben's eyes go wide.)
It's a sad story.
That surely made us curious.
"It's my first time to enter a proper agency."
"A proper agency".
- He struggled a lot. - Really?
It's my first time to enter a proper agency.
Since I am not young,
I don't worry about what the others think.
- You don't worry about that. - You are at ease.
Yes.
I heard that...
Min Soo began to give Ben bigger gifts.
- Really? - I did?
He didn't really give me many gifts.
- It used to be that way. - I am surprised.
People say he is a giving person.
Who says that?
My goodness.
How did he change?
When I had my first musical performance,
he came to see me by himself.
He brought a flower basket.
Upon a closer look,
I saw that there were yellow bills.
Yellow bills?
The 50-dollar bills.
The total was about...
- 2,000 dollars. - My goodness.
I was so surprised.
That happened after you became successful, right?
Yes.
Still,
- it's a big gift. - That's right.
Yu Hui Yeol should learn from him.
Doesn't he do that?
Has Jae Hyung bought you anything?
(Has Jae Hyung bought Seung Hwan anything?)
Jae Hyung...
Has he given you sneakers or something?
- He could take off his earrings... - He has bought me good food.
I have a story of Jae Hyung's good deed.
- What is it? - When I was in a drama...
with my husband,
I ran into him at a restaurant.
We ended up sitting together.
The atmosphere was very nice.
He suddenly played the piano.
I was so lucky to see...
Jae Hyung's piano performance.
- It must have been nice. - You played it for her.
Why did you refuse to play the piano for us?
His condition for visiting the show was not playing the piano.
- That was the condition. - Really?
I told the production crew...
to prepare a piano just in case.
(Playing passionately)
(Coming soon)
(Jae Hyung breaks his own contract.)
(Absorbed)
(Look forward to the beautiful collaboration.)
Sometimes, when he is drunk,
he lets me hear his new songs.
That's right.
He plays the MR.
(Nasal voice)
(He can't contain his happiness.)
He is good.
He sounds just like Jae Hyung.
He does that in all seriousness.
He pretends to play the piano.
(The nasal voice explodes.)
(Jae Hyung's nasal voice doesn't change.)
- Even when he does that, - Why did you do that?
the melodies are really nice.
- Really? - Yes.
Let's introduce the next guest.
The great Korean songs...
are moving up the charts because of him.
It's a miracle that...
those immortal songs are having their second heyday.
This is your first variety show, right?
- Really? - The first pure variety show.
- The first pure variety show. - I see.
Feel, I was curious about you...
since you never visited variety shows.
That's right.
Did you visit Happy Together...
because you believe in Jae Hyung?
Really? You will be disappointed.
- Yoon Hee is surprised. - Yes.
Not too long ago,
I drank with Sae Ho and Jae Hyung.
- I was there as well. - Yes.
Jae Hyung said,
"I will take care of you."
He and I shared a waiting room.
He went, "Feel, how have you been?"
He talked as if we haven't met in a long time.
I said, "Jae Hyung, we met last week."
"What?" He said that.
- I guess he was drunk. - Jae Hyung.
You should care about your own sanity.
(You should care about your own sanity.)
I...
- I am forgetful. - How can you forget him?
- I am going to remember him now. - Now?
Feel, you said...
- Sae Ho goes around giving advice. - It's not advice.
- He's unbelievable. - Wait.
- You are so bossy. - I didn't give advice.
You went from an absentee to an advisor.
Just this week alone, I've met four people...
who complained about you giving advice to them.
No. No.
Feel, what advice did Sae Ho give?
- Tell us about just one. - It wasn't like advice.
I think he was trying to cheer me up.
- He said nobody would hurt me. - Nobody.
- Hurt you? - This is what I meant.
How does it feel to see Sae Ho here after hearing that advice?
It actually looks like he's the victim.
- He's hated by everyone. - Take care of him.
He's hated by everyone.
He's getting attacked by everyone.
Feel, is he very different from when you saw him at the restaurant?
Completely different.
I am Jae Hyung's secretary.
I follow him around.
Everyone loves Feel's voice.
Soyou once praised his voice very highly.
- Did she? - It was when...
he was on "Superstar K". He was working on something.
I really loved his performance of "Ice Fortress".
When I heard the song, I got really obsessed...
with it. When I get obsessed with a song,
- I listen to that song for an hour. - Really?
I do that when I get obsessed.
I once ran into him. I didn't know him, but I went up to him...
and said, "I am your huge fan. Your songs are amazing." And I left.
I didn't give him a chance to say something back.
I was too shy, so I told him that I loved his songs and left.
Do you remember that time, Feel?
I clearly remember it. It was my first time...
to be praised by someone...
I used to see on TV.
- Really? - Yes. She told me...
she was my fan. And I couldn't forget about it.
It would feel good to hear it from Soyou.
You want to sing a duet with Soyou.
- Yes. I do. - That would be really lovely.
- Yes. - That's my personal wish.
Their team name can be "Kim Feel Soyou".
"Feel Soyou".
- When it comes to voice, - "Soyou Feel"?
- he's got the best voice in Korea. - Really?
He's got a husky voice, but he can hit really high notes.
- He's good, isn't he? - He's really good.
Finally, he's taking care of me.
That's what he promised to do that day.
He's got the appearance of a film actor.
- Right. - He looks like Kim Young Kwang.
I think you bulked up too.
- Did I? - Yes.
- Is that you, Feel? - He really looks like Young Kwang.
- Isn't that Young Kwang? - The left one is Feel.
- They look alike. - They look very much alike.
I look like him in good photos.
(Their profiles sync 100 percent.)
Weren't you...
trying to look like him in the photo?
It's very easy to tell who's who with that photo.
I didn't know there was a photo like that.
- The left one is you, right? - Yes.
(He's got a well-proportioned body like Kim Woo Bin.)
- He's got a nice body. - He looks like a model.
That's a good comparison.
It's not necessarily bad,
but when I wear glasses, I resemble Jee Seok Jin.
It's very extreme.
- Wait. - It's not a bad thing.
You look like him.
- You look like him. - You resemble him.
- You resemble him. - I usually wear glasses.
- He's got a variety of charms. - He resembles Seok Jin.
My face is very asymmetrical,
so my face looks different at every angle.
Feel has the best male voice.
Soyou's voice is the perfect example of what JYP calls,
- "half air, half sound". - Right.
- It's perfect. - I heard Min Soo...
also highly praised your voice.
- I did. - Why?
I love voices that stand out.
It's like this if I were to compare it to perfume.
It's like a perfume that makes the passersby turn their heads.
That's the type of voice I like,
and Soyou's voice is like that.
(It's the voice that makes you keep turning back.)
It's very charming.
- It's slightly husky too. - Right.
Her voice is good when she sings live,
but I want to hear her voice in the recording room.
- Even if the volume is low. - Her voice is like treasure.
Yes.
- You tried to change it. - Why change it?
It's been 10 years since I debuted.
And I went through a slump.
SISTAR disbanded, and I released my first album.
It made me think about a lot of things.
- I am sure it did. - Should I perform the music I like?
Or should I perform the music that people like?
That puzzled me.
Many people say my voice is 90 percent air and 10 percent sound.
If I were to sing Ben's song,
I want to sing it powerfully.
(This is how she would sing it.)
That's how I want to sing it, but people tell me to sing it...
- how I sing it well. - Put some air.
- Right. - They want me to sing it that way.
That's lovely. That's Soyou.
- That's Soyou. - People tell me that.
That made me wonder if I should change my singing method.
But to a singer, being identified with a certain color...
is a blessing.
It's a true blessing.
So while keeping the style,
I try to show variations of it.
I think it'd be nice if you change the style for each song.
Depending on the mood of the song.
That's why I try to sing each song differently.
Many people notice that they are different.
It seems like you overcame the slump well.
I heard you are releasing a new song...
- Really? - this summer.
- Tell us about it. - My single album is...
being released on August 9.
- What kind of a song is it? - It's an exciting summer song.
- We have to hear it. - Is it like a SISTAR song?
- No. - No?
It's very different. It's titled "Bangkok",
but it has nothing to do with the city.
- "Staying home". - Yes. That 's what it means.
Who did you perform with?
I worked with one of his artists.
His name is Francis.
He's worked a lot abroad.
He used to work with...
foreign pop artists.
- I am excited. - Soyou agreed...
- to work with him. I'm grateful. - Right.
You should be grateful.
I can tell how much Min Soo cares about Ben.
Did you find her yourself?
- Did you? - Yes.
We had another trainee.
And someone I know said there is a girl who sings really well.
He showed me the video of her.
I saw her singing a pop song.
She sang the song called "Slow Motion".
She had such a lovely voice.
So I brought her in and listened to her voice.
She had the voice of young Michael Jackson.
During The Jackson 5.
There's a song called "Ben".
I thought her voice was similar to young Michael Jackson's voice.
- He's right. - He's right.
That's why I gave her the name "Ben".
(That's how she became Ben.)
The name "Ben" suits her very well.
- Michael Jackson. - She's like Michael Jackson.
Ben, did you come to Seoul for the first time...
because of Min Soo?
- It's true. - Where are you from?
- Incheon. - I'm from Incheon.
I was 19, and I was preparing for college.
I got a phone call,
and this person said Min Soo was looking for me.
- It was so random. - Right.
I had never auditioned anywhere.
He saw the video I uploaded a long time ago..
- on my social media site. - He saw it.
He said he was looking for...
someone to be the vocalist of BeBe Mignon.
He asked me to come, so I came to Seoul for the first time.
I heard his first impression was bad.
I had the audition.
He said he had a song perfect for me.
I wondered what song it was. It was a song titled,
"Even Though I'm Small And Not Pretty".
That made me think that Min Soo is a very rude person.
(She thought Min Soo was rude.)
(She attacks him with the facts.)
- It's just a song. - I was...
- 19. - It's understandable.
Actually, she's small and pretty.
When a small and pretty girl sings about her being...
small and pretty, it's not nice.
That's why I titled it like that.
It wasn't because she was actually small and ugly.
(He didn't mean it.)
You thought he was rude when you first met him.
But she renewed the contract with him for the third time.
Is it all because of...
what Min Soo said while being drunk?
What's that about?
I was 19, and I was graduating.
I signed with him, and as soon as I graduated high school,
I debuted.
I debuted in just a few months.
I never had been a trainee.
I debuted without any experience.
So I was lacking in many ways.
After we debuted, we didn't get many chances to perform,
and it was very hard to release an album.
- But? - We struggled for years.
I cried every day and practiced.
One day, we were having a team dinner.
I was walking with Min Soo.
He put his arms around my shoulders and told me this.
"I will make sure you become successful."
"Even if you don't become successful fast,"
"I will try until you do."
I can't forget that.
- You can't forget that moment. - I never said this before.
So for 10 years, no matter how tough things got,
There were times when I resented him.
But thanks to him, I was able to get through the 10 years.
That's the person Min Soo is.
You can only say such a thing with sincerity.
- Right. - Right.
Ben's got many hits.
There's a song called "Love, ing".
When Min Soo sings it, it becomes "Wail, ing".
(Does it become "Wail, ing" when Min Soo sings it?)
How does it become that?
I released the song called "Love, ing".
But it's actually originally from Vibe's album.
Is it not originally your song?
They were preparing to release the song.
At the time, Min Soo went on a business trip abroad by himself.
Jae Hyun of Vibe asked me,
"Why don't you try singing this song?"
I was preparing for my own album too.
I said I'd love to sing it and sang it.
And he said I should just have it.
- It was Vibe's song originally. - Yes. The entire staff...
said I should record it while he's away.
(The entire agency staff came together for it.)
I heard it when I came back.
- And it was much better with her. - It suited her more.
- So I gladly gave it to her. - I am curious.
- How different are they? - Can you sing the song for us?
It would've been Min Soo's song. If Ben didn't record it,
it would've been released as Vibe's song.
- Ben, please sing it first. - Ben will go first.
We know Ben's version well.
(Ben's version of "Love, ing")
(Ben's "Love, ing" contains the best heartbreaking emotion.)
- That's "Love, ing". - That's "Love, ing".
- Here's "Wail, ing". - "Wail, ing" or "Divorce, ing".
(Min Soo's version of "Wail, ing" or "Divorce, ing")
(Min Soo's version of "Love, ing")
(It's giving us goosebumps from the start.)
(His voice is crazy good.)
He's weeping.
(One day)
He's wailing.
(He sounds very sorrowful.)
(Wailing)
(A man cries three times in life.)
(That is when he's born, when his country goes down,)
(and now.)
It's...
Take the mic away.
(His sorrowfulness is never-ending.)
This shows how much he's attached to the song.
(He's very much attached to the song.)
(It's sure to make people cry. Make sure you prepare tissues.)
By the way, Min Soo's version is great too.
It would've been also really nice if Min Soo sang it.
A lot of people said that.
- So... - There's sorrow.
I uploaded the video on my social media.
It was the video of me singing this song.
He's really good.
If he sang that song, we would've copied it a lot.
Try it.
(This is the example of being overly emotional.)
- Don't do it. - You have to let it out.
(Be aware of copycats.)
Many people try to copy Min Soo.
Do you particularly hate it when Hyun Moo does it?
- You said it on another show. - It's not that I hate it.
When you copy me,
I am mentioned, and that's a good thing.
I am grateful, but I was just trying to be funny.
To be honest, I want to teach you.
Try it.
How do you do it?
(Hyun Moo will try to copy Min Soo's singing.)
(What is it really like?)
(It's as if he's lost his tongue.)
By the way...
- I get why he hates it. - Isn't that just an idiot?
Isn't that just an idiot?
- It's... - You went too far.
That's how it sounds to me.
- You spoiled it too much. - Wait.
I drink every day
It's supposed to be like this.
- You are... - I drink every day
(That's not it.)
It's fun though.
It's fun.
His diction is all mushed.
(His diction is unclear.)
Hasn't he taken it too far?
Hasn't he gone too far?
(He's the former announcer.)
Min Soo...
Min Soo doesn't pronounce words like that.
- By the way, - I feel sorry about it.
Seung Hwan, did you impersonate Min Soo...
- during your concert? - Really?
- We should hear it. - Let's hear it.
Nearly 60 percent of the male cast...
- have impersonated Min Soo. - When we have a team dinner,
- 7 out of 10 people sing his song. - It's a must.
We musicians have to.
- We always sing Min Soo's songs. - All men...
- sing Min Soo's songs. - He's right.
I was doing a concert.
And a lot of singers were having a concert around that time.
To thank the fans for coming to my concert...
instead of going to other artists',
I thought I would try my best...
and try to sing like those artists.
I think he'd be good.
I impersonated Vibe, Park Hyo Shin,
- and many more. - I think he'd mimic Hyo Shin well.
I am not very good at it, but I tried my best.
- Show us just a little bit. - He can sing, so he must be good.
- Give him the mic. - Seung Hwan is talented.
I studied the artists.
For Min Soo,
before starting to sing,
- he exhales loudly once. - Right.
And there's space between the consonants and vowels.
That's my analysis.
(Let's check it with Vibe's "Drinking".)
(I never knew I'd struggle)
(So much after losing you)
- It's like this. - Right. He's got it.
(I drink every day)
That's how he sings.
It sounds good.
(Come back to me)
- Like that. - He's good.
Even when he mimics another artist, it sounds nice.
- It's because he can sing. - It was all good,
but when you sing "la", you have to open your mouth bigger.
- It's fine. It's fine. - Teach him.
Why don't you give him a 1-on-1 lesson?
Just open your mouth bigger when you sing "la".
("Come Back to Me" after the lesson)
(Opening his mouth)
That's it.
That's what he needed to do.
He needed to open his mouth bigger.
- That was a good lesson. - Thank you.
Can you impersonate Hyo Shin too?
For Hyo Shin,
I don't mimic the way he used to sing in the past.
- I mimic the way he sings now. - It's quite different now.
It has changed.
He hits the last notes with his nasal voice.
I tried to mimic the last parts.
He recently released this song called "Goodbye".
(They are very excited.)
(The beep sound is not an accident.)
- Wait. - What?
- You sound just like him. - You sound like him.
- This is like "Hidden Singer". - He sounded just like him.
(Hidden Hyo Shin)
(The great impersonator shocks everyone.)
(The MC becomes speechless.)
(He won all the votes from the panelists. How did he perform?)
My gosh.
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E44 Happy Together S4 "Christmas in August Special" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
He sounds just like him.
(He sings with his nasal voice.)
You really sound exactly like him.
(It's as if he's been possessed by Hyo Shin's spirit.)
- Thank you. - You sound just like him.
I think you can even impersonate Yang Hee Eun.
(He applies it and impersonates Yang Hee Eun.)
(He applies it perfectly.)
Thank you.
(He's a perfect student.)
Great.
Seung Hwan is very good at talking.
Yu Hui Yeol must be laughing...
with his gums showing.
Feel can you impersonate anyone?
I heard you prepared to impersonate about 12 people.
What are you talking about?
(Did he prepare to impersonate 12 people?)
- Is it not true? - Or you have to copy...
Young Kwang's model walk.
Can you impersonate anyone?
In the past,
I can impersonate SG Wannabe's...
- Kim Jin Ho. - Really?
(He's the first one to make the cattle droving method popular.)
(How would Feel copy this singing method?)
(He copy and pastes Jini Ho's singing method.)
That's how it goes.
- You sound like him. - You sound like him.
Doesn't it sound like it's being played from a slow computer?
Try it again.
(He does it again.)
That's lovely.
- I can do this. - You sound like him.
I can impersonate Ha Dong Qn too.
I will sing the intro of "Stroke".
It was a sensation.
(His hoarse voice is the best part of it.)
(Singing)
Like that. I used to do that too.
Should I stop now?
(Feel's first talent show on a variety show was...)
Well done.
(short yet impactful.)
(At that moment...)
What's going on?
What are you doing?
- What happened? - My gosh.
It would've been better if he flipped.
What are you doing?
He's the second person to do that since Noh Joo Hyun.
That's his way to get his screentime.
That's the "Noh Joo Hyun Zone".
(There's a sad legend associated with that chair.)
(It's called the Noh Joo Hyun Zone.)
(It's the destiny you can't avoid.)
He told me this today.
He said he wants to help the younger artists to stand out.
But he's trying hard to stand out.
He doesn't care about other people at all.
I am so sorry.
- Right. - What is wrong with me?
You are not in the position to take care of other people.
- I should do a better job. - Take care of yourself.
I am sorry.
Jae Hyung.
Experienced artists around you like Hui Yeol or Min Soo...
are busy helping young artists to grow.
Are you interested in working with young artists?
- I am not interested. - You're not?
I can tell.
I'll be honest.
"How could I manage to do such a difficult thing?"
That's what I think.
Min Soo is going through that.
- It's a very tough thing to do. - It's tough.
I just want to remain as an artist represented by an agency.
Hui Yeol has to think about...
strategies and what to do with certain artists.
I just give my heart to them.
I check how they are doing.
I give them my attention, and that's what I prefer to do.
He just wants himself to be a better artist.
- He's not satisfied. - You saw him a while ago.
He's actually taught...
many young artists.
Right. Right.
And his students are now...
all working in the music industry...
as songwriters and arrangers.
I taught them when I was...
working as a lecturer.
When I was doing film music,
I had assistants.
And they now write songs for idols.
There's no denying that he's a great musician.
- He's great. - Of course.
Ben, why did you nearly freeze to death because of him?
What is this about?
We recently...
were at the shoot of "Immortal Songs" together.
It was so cold.
They kept the place really cool.
It was so cold that my head hurt.
I wanted to...
- You wanted to ask them. - ask them to turn it off.
It could hinder your ability to sing.
- That was the biggest reason. - Of course.
I could feel my throat closing up,
so I looked around for someone I could mention this to.
(Just then...)
But then I spotted Jae Hyung wearing angora wool.
(Jae Hyung was wearing angora wool.)
Wait. In the summer?
This happened a few days ago.
How can you wear angora wool in the summer?
Even on his slippers,
- there was a fur trim. - Yes, that's right.
He had a sweater on with socks with a fur trim.
- Yes, fur. - That's what he had on.
He looked great but...
It was just so that he could look nice.
He couldn't care less if his actions...
led to the artists damaging their throats.
- They'll catch a cold. - Right.
It just so happened that I wore...
those particular items that day,
so I apologize...
for causing the artists trouble.
- Angora wool in the summer? - I apologize.
- Goodness. - Anyway,
it was turned off after we wrapped up the show.
What's the point in turning it off afterward?
(He apologizes for the fur items.)
Seung Hwan, didn't you collaborate with IU?
Working with IU is a dream...
for almost every artist in Korea.
Are you still in contact with her?
Well, only through other people.
I don't even know her number.
Even when I worked with her,
I never actually saw her.
- Really? - She was so busy...
- with her tour. - I see.
She wrote the lyrics to my song "The Snowman".
I knew she was busy, but I asked her to have...
the lyrics completed by a certain day,
and she handed them over before the deadline.
Even though we never worked side by side,
I sang my best because I could feel her sincerity in the words.
(She even promoted the song by singing a cover of it herself.)
Recently,
Hui Yeol sent me a text which said this.
She texted Hui Yeol to ask how he was doing,
and she also added how fond she was...
of my song "The Snowman".
She wanted me to know,
so Hui Yeol relayed her message to me.
I was truly grateful.
Feel, you suddenly became a household name...
due to your time on "Superstar K".
I hear that you've been through so many things though.
- Right, a lot. - Didn't you also...
release an album that didn't do well?
Before my time on "Superstar K", I released an album...
in 2011.
Really?
However, it didn't do well.
I didn't have stages I could perform on.
There weren't stages I could perform my music,
and I hated making my family worried.
I chose this path because it was what I wanted,
but I had nothing to show for that.
Even though I released an album in 2011,
I couldn't sing on any shows...
or even small stages.
What's this about a junk shop?
I was so disheartened that...
I quit music once.
My friend's uncle ran a junk shop back then,
so I took a part-time job...
smashing vending machines that were thrown out.
- You took them apart? - Yes.
I'd set aside what could be recycled.
How much did you earn a day?
He gave me tens of dollars, and I sometimes even found...
money still stuck in there.
That I kept.
- It's a bonus. - That's possible.
Those were a nice surprise.
- You earned a tip. - I saved those up...
and used it to go to the sauna...
to get the grease and dirt out from under my fingernails.
I see you had it rough.
Jae Hyung, I hear that...
you met your doppelganger on "Immortal Songs".
- That's right. - Right?
Who is it?
My gosh.
(Comedian Lee Bong Won)
Anyone would believe that they're brothers.
If only he had on horn-rimmed glasses like yours.
He puts them on later on actually.
I was extremely nervous...
because it was my first time meeting him in the flesh.
He's quite charismatic in person.
- He is. - Of course.
- He's ruggedly handsome. - Right.
He's quite fit as well.
Anyway, it was so nice to see him.
It looks like a reunion of two brothers.
Exactly.
Gosh.
- Soyou too? - I've seen this before.
- You have doppelgangers too. - Chun Myung Hoon.
Yes, I saw this one with Chun Myung Hoon.
My gosh.
I thought this was magic!
This makes them look even more similar.
Anyone would agree.
It's making me dizzy.
Myung Hoon and I have similar lips.
- Lips? - We both have small ones.
- You're right. Take a look. - Her and Myung Hoon?
- Gosh. - You really do look alike.
I was slightly bloated that day...
and I was squinting a lot because of the sun.
Anyway, it's known...
as one of the photos banned from my fan sites.
I sometimes read comments like,
"Myung Hoon, what are you doing here?"...
and it couldn't be more entertaining.
I see.
You're just like me in that way.
- That's so funny. - I mean...
- That's cool of you. - When Myung Hoon...
released a new NRG album recently,
we took a photo and posted it online.
Ben, you're known as Kyun Mi Ri's lookalike.
- Right! - They do look alike.
I see it too!
(They look like mother and daughter.)
- I see her face in yours. - Me too.
You're dressed in clothes that she would wear too.
It's like I'm watching a weekend TV drama.
It's been a while since I tucked my bangs away.
You especially look a lot like her today.
Thank you. I love you, Mi Ri.
You look more like her than Lee Yu Bi does.
Ben looks more like Mi Ri's daughter.
- Really? - You really do look alike.
Thank you.
The guests today have a lot of lookalikes.
Seung Hwan is known as the Park Bo Gum of Antenna Music.
- Oh, dear. - But in fact,
you look more like Yu Hui Yeol.
Isn't there a huge gap between the two?
I have already...
explained myself numerous times regarding that nickname,
but we gave each other nicknames to feel good about ourselves.
What I resemble about Hui Yeol the most...
is his figure.
- Right. - We're the same size.
- Really? - Is that so?
We've been saying...
that we're maintaining our figures like girl group members.
Unbelievable.
Within Antenna Music, we're banned from bulking up.
Is that so?
Just so you know, Antenna Music has...
a lot of rules and regulations.
That's right. We're a strict company.
- I work hard to stay this way. - Of course.
- I know that you do. - It's Antenna's signature figure.
Seung Hwan mentioned his figure just now,
but Feel is actually known for his washboard abs.
Really?
(The soft-voiced Kim Feel has a different side to him.)
- What? - When was this?
(A body of a sculpture)
No way.
Amazing.
When did you work out like this?
It was back when I was on the audition program.
- I see. - With shows like this,
showing a drastic transformation...
in a few months seemed to be the key.
Many of the contestants worked out a lot...
and I even...
got a lot of shots by a plastic surgeon.
(He suddenly confessed to getting fillers.)
Really?
You said it so naturally...
that I thought it was something we already knew.
- Still... - I can finally say it now.
Did you get Botox injections?
- Botox and fillers... - And fillers?
It doesn't seem like you needed any of those.
I look this way because I received those shots.
Botox injections don't last that long.
I hear that fillers do though.
- Right. - Where did you get the shots?
My nose or my forehead.
I honestly can't remember...
because I received so many shots.
- Gosh. - You received that many?
For the first and probably the last time in my life,
I received those many shots on my face.
Were you satisfied with the result?
At first, I felt dizzy.
- It hurts too. - I was flustered as well.
After a while when I started to see the results,
I finally realized why people received these.
- This... - I understand.
I realized how scary this could be too.
It's what I thought.
Soyou, you're one to work out a lot, right?
I hear dieting has brought you quite the trouble though.
A lot. For the song "So Cool",
I lost about 8kg in a month,
and that was my toughest weight-loss program.
- Because... - 8kg in a month?
I started at 56kg back then.
I wasn't overweight or anything because I'm 168cm.
- Right. - Of course.
But I had to lose 8kg.
- My daily... - 8kg from 56kg?
- Yes, 8kg from 56kg. - That wouldn't have been easy.
This was my routine from when I woke up.
I went to the hot yoga class at 5:30am.
- At 5:30am? - I already feel hot.
A gym in the same building offered hot yoga classes.
(Hot yoga for about an hour and a half)
I'd work out for about an hour or an hour and a half.
Then I'd hit the weights for an hour...
and then do cardio for another hour.
I'd then return to our housing...
and practice my singing and dancing.
In the evening,
I did another hour each of weight training and cardio.
This was my schedule for the whole month.
- I'd give up. - At the same time,
I also cut out carbs and any salt.
But they're delicious.
I only stuck to proteins.
Before the actual photoshoot,
I ate four boiled quail eggs...
without the yolk.
- My gosh. - What?
What's there to take out from quail eggs?
- That and... - So just the egg white?
skimmed milk.
That's so harsh.
Some time passed...
and I was doing ab workouts one day.
I was lying on my back when I just started to cry...
because I wanted to eat chicken feet.
I'm almost in tears too.
My trainer asked why I was crying...
and I said it was because I wanted to eat chicken feet.
My trainer actually told me to eat them.
"Go and eat some, Soyou."
Your trainer must've felt really bad...
to have said that.
I couldn't because it'd have been for nothing!
- That's right. - I slept on my desire...
and called 13 chicken feet places at 7am the next day...
to find a place that was open all day.
I was going to eat some and then work out later on.
So I ate it.
I honestly thought I had hairworms in my body.
I've been sticking to a low-salt diet, so...
Was there an immediate reaction?
Even my hands started to bloat.
I couldn't help but chug down water all day.
It's how I learned that it wasn't healthy...
to cut salt out completely from your diet.
Yes, you need to eat a certain amount.
We've been talking with these six artists today...
and I believe that this is a lineup...
even "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook" would be jealous of.
It'd be unfair not to hear these guys perform,
so we'll be starting off with Seung Hwan.
(Part 2 will continue shortly.)
We've been talking with these six artists today...
and I believe that this is a lineup...
even "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook" would be jealous of.
It'd be unfair not to hear these guys perform,
so we'll be starting off with Seung Hwan.
(First up is Jung Seung Hwan, the new icon of ballads.)
Which song are you going to sing for us?
It's "Gathering My Tears" which was written by Jae Hyung.
- Really? - Did you write the song?
He's the songwriter.
- The song sung by Seo Ji Won? - Right.
I hear the song holds a special meaning though.
Just so you know, Jae Hyung is the writer of many masterpieces.
- You wrote the songs for BASIS too. - I did.
That's right.
I hear this song holds a special meaning to you.
After the release of BASIS' first album,
I was asked to write a song for someone else.
This was the first song that I wrote for another artist.
It's a masterpiece which I also love.
- That's right. - Even when you hear it now...
- It doesn't seem old-fashioned. - It makes you choke up too.
It's the song I normally sing as the last song of any concert.
(He sings it to wrap up a concert.)
When I sing this song myself,
I'm taken back to the day...
I first met Ji Won in the studio to practice.
There was only a small piano and couch,
so the mood that was set...
- It must feel like yesterday. - It does.
(He still remembers it as if it were yesterday.)
So here is Seung Hwan's cover of "Gathering My Tears".
Please give him a round of applause.
("Gathering My Tears" by Jung Seung Hwan)
(Seo Ji Won's posthumous song...)
(that topped the charts after his passing)
Please join in.
(My love, I will wait)
(Gathering my tears)
(On this heart-aching night,)
(we hope this song reaches high up above.)
(A perfect performance by the pupil and his master)
- It fits Seung Hwan's tone. - Thank you.
Thank you for that.
We're suddenly able to remember and think about...
- Seo Ji Won. - Exactly.
We haven't even practiced this before.
- It was great. - Right.
- I loved it. - I was so worried.
- Jae Hyung's piano... - It was amazing.
It's such a fabulous song.
I think it's one of his best songs.
I know that I'm a decent songwriter.
You guys probably didn't hear this,
but Min Soo harmonized the song for Seung Hwan just now.
(Min Soo's astounding harmonization)
- Did I? - Yes.
It shocked me.
(He added soul to Seung Hwan's sentiments.)
It's now time to hear from Ben.
(Ben will sing next.)
Which song did you prepare for us?
I sang the soundtrack for "Oh Hae Young Again",
and it was my first song to top the charts.
The OST Chart, I mean.
Not long after though,
"If It Is You" by Seung Hwan roamed up the charts...
and took the top spot from me.
- My gosh! - Did it roam up the charts?
The song was so good though,
so I wanted to take it from him today.
Will you sing "If It Is You"?
- I'm excited right now. - So am I.
The song's so great that I wanted to sing it.
That's great.
- I'd love to hear her sing it. - I didn't come prepared today,
so maybe I should add some harmony.
Please do!
- That'd be great. - Can you sing with her?
- Then I'll join in at the chorus. - All right.
Let's hear from Min Soo and Ben then.
("If It Is You" by Ben and Yoon Min Soo)
(What would you do if it is you?)
(The cover is as good as the original.)
That was awesome.
It didn't sound like my song at all.
And with Min Soo's harmony...
He only wailed slightly.
Today's lineup is one...
that even "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook" would envy.
Yes, of course.
Welcome to "Yu Jae Seok's Cue Card".
Which page of the cue cards are we on right now?
- Right now, we're on page 44. - Goodness.
It's almost over then.
Let's keep it going and move on to the next song.
We'll hear from Kim Feel next.
What will you sing for us?
I prepared the song by Vibe which is the group Min Soo is in.
"While Looking at the Picture".
- It's one of my favorite songs! - That's a great one.
(The lead single of Vibe's 2nd album which was especially loved by men)
Why did you choose this song?
When this song first came out, I sang it a lot.
I was in high school and I sang it on many stages.
This song?
Me and a few friends got together...
to form a vocal group.
So you performed on the streets?
- That's right. - Let's hear it.
Let's hear from Kim Feel then.
("While Looking at the Picture" by Kim Feel)
(His signature tone steals women's hearts.)
(A perfect harmony)
(While looking at the picture)
(Kim Feel did what he does best!)
- I almost cried. - I know.
That was amazing.
This song is for all men.
He just broke my heart with this song.
(Heartbreaking Singer, Kim Feel)
It broke his heart.
I could tell that he's a good singer when he sang the first verse.
- You sang it in a relaxed way. - Not at all.
I was surprised at how you put your hands at the back.
It was like the song was too easy for you to sing.
We would have sung with both hands on the mic.
I was nervous because Min Soo's right here.
I didn't know what to do.
Who are you copying?
How do you do it again?
While looking at the picture
(His mic disappears.)
Kim Yon Ja sings like that.
- Are you Yon Ja or what? - That was funny.
- His voice is outstanding. - Right.
He's a singer with so much potential.
- Can you sing again? - Would you sing once more?
Could you sing the song "Youth"?
I love "Youth".
- "Youth"? - It has been a while.
(Someday, it'll leave me)
- He's good. - That was plaintive.
- That was amazing. - I know.
- Goodness. - How can he sing like that?
- It was plaintive. - His voice is one of a kind.
Let's see the last performance. Soyou will sing for us.
(Soyou will sing the last song.)
How will you please our ears?
This song is sung by Shin Yong Jae.
But Min Soo composed it. It's called "My Angel".
- I know it. - This song's amazing.
4MEN's song?
Let's give her a round of applause.
Is Min Soo playing the piano for us?
Really?
- He seems very excited today. - I know.
- Just like that? - He's very active today.
("My Angel" is a song composed to celebrate his son's birth.)
Good night.
- That's great. - It was amazing.
It sounded like some soundtrack for a Disney movie.
- I know. - Yes, it was amazing.
The song's really nice.
It felt like Christmas in August.
- Right. - I know.
Soyou, you are totally different...
when you sing ballad songs and dance songs.
You look at the cameras differently on the stage.
- That's right. - How do you look at them?
Can you show us the difference?
When I sing dance songs,
I look at different angles.
I look at every single camera.
- The cameraman would love it. - I even follow after...
the Jimmy Jib camera when I sing dance songs.
Let's suppose the camera goes this way.
(From the perspective of the Jimmy Jib camera)
- I follow the camera like this. - Goodness.
- That's amazing. - But when I sing ballad songs,
I don't look at the Jimmy Jib at all.
I can't look at it.
The camera shoots the overall performance.
I would close my eyes instead of looking at...
the camera.
The cameraman shoots the overall performance.
- So I'd lift my head up. - That's the way you do it.
- That's right. - That's fascinating.
When I get the director's cue,
(This is how she looks at it...)
(when the camera moves to a different direction.)
(That was smooth.)
- I know what she means now. - So singers do this.
(She's sing without a pause.)
(She'd work hard to look innocent and pure.)
- That's the way she does it. - She's good.
So that's how singers do it.
That's a great tip.
For me, I'd sing with my eyes closed at all times.
I'd look down if the camera starts shooting from this way.
I'll work on the angle that would make me look pretty.
(She looks for the perfect angle that would make her look pretty.)
(I look pretty at this angle.)
Goodness.
For me, I'd just look in one direction.
Min Soo, you only look at the floor.
- Right. You only look at the floor. - Like this.
I close my eyes. Look up and down.
I stamp my feet too.
We make the cameraman look for us.
- You make them come to you. - Right.
- That was very smooth. - Yes, it was.
- It was smooth. - She's good.
Here's the last segment. It's our signature segment.
- We'll erase your dark past. - Right.
Bora was here last time.
She shared a video of her falling down on stage.
You fell on stage before too.
- Right. - You just fell.
I didn't fall like her.
It was on a stage.
But people thought I was on an ice rink.
- Let's take a look. - That could have been dangerous.
(While performing,)
(Soyou almost fell down.)
Bora held you.
Everyone held me.
Was it slippery?
- It looks like it's raining. - My goodness.
- What's going on? - Let me tell you.
(Slippery)
What's happening?
Gosh, what's happening?
- Was it her shoes? - Was it her shoes?
- Was there water? - That's not it.
- Did it rain or something? - What's going on?
Were you on an ice rink?
That'll be dangerous for all dancers.
Was there some foam on the floor?
No, let me tell you.
- What was it? - Actually, there was a fire pillar.
The wind blew towards us.
- So the floor was full of oil. - It was oil.
We danced on the floor where it was full of oil.
My goodness.
When I first slipped,
I found it funny. But it kept happening.
- You got scared. - I got scared.
I was wearing a skirt. People were right in front of me.
There were reporters too.
I started to panic.
- I did wear something underneath. - But still...
I couldn't focus on my performance.
When I slipped for the last time,
I hurt my back.
- My goodness. - You were in your heels too.
I just apologized to the audience and left the place.
But I was so surprised.
People still cheered for me, and I cried.
- You must have been shocked. - I performed again after that.
Min Soo asked us to erase his dark past too.
You staggered because of the high note of the song.
I was on "Immortal Songs".
- Really? - I know what he's talking about.
- Shall we take a look? - Okay.
- It's when you sang "Fate", right? - Right.
(Min Soo and Yong Jae sang Lee Sun Hee's "Fate".)
(Captivating voice)
(Singing the high note with all his might)
(Staggering)
My goodness.
- Did you get dizzy? - Was the floor oily too?
I was dizzy for about 0.2 seconds.
- For a short moment. - Were you dizzy?
- I was unconscious. - Were you out of breath?
I was on "Immortal Songs" for the first time.
- I was nervous. - You were nervous.
- I felt pressured to perform well. - Right.
So I performed it a bit excessively.
I tried to breathe harder too.
I was actually very embarrassed as a professional singer.
Ben's laughing at your story.
You know you were excessive, right?
I was passionate then.
- I know. - You used all your breath.
I performed with Yong Jae.
So we wanted to show people what we got.
We wanted to show what Korean soul is.
Korean soul.
I was like...
I used all my energy from my head to toe.
- Goodness. - That's amazing.
I used up all my energy that I went a bit too far.
It's actually very embarrassing.
I should have controlled myself.
I looked back at myself as I watched the video.
So the floor wasn't slippery at all.
It wasn't slippery at all.
I just got unconscious for a second.
Did you win?
- I didn't win. - Goodness.
People liked our performance. But we didn't win.
For us, we use our throats when we sing.
- So our throats get hoarse. - We hurt our own throats.
I shouldn't laugh at stories like this.
- Why? - You can relate to us?
For me, I use my head voice.
(I use my head voice to sing.)
So I can't relate to Min Soo.
- He's so cute. - Sing with your genuine voice.
I thought you use your throat when you sing too.
Don't you use your nose?
No, I don't.
- What's the difference? - I can't relate to it at all.
You sing with your nose too.
No, I use my head voice.
I remember this story.
We did a label performance.
We performed with all the artists from our company.
I was getting ready to sing.
Jae Hyung probably thought...
he should also get ready to sing.
That's what everyone was doing.
I know. I was getting ready next to him.
While checking on the mic, he said, "It's working."
"It's working."
(All he had to do was to check the mic.)
Everyone started...
laughing because of what he did.
I think I can compete against him.
- I mean it. I can sing better. - Hey.
- Hey. - I mean it.
- How dare you! - Let's sing together.
Let's check.
"How dare you!"
How do you get ready, Feel?
I do what other singers do too.
I try hitting high notes as I do this.
I get ready like this.
- These are the notes I use. - He tries to use his own notes.
- What does he do? - I do that too.
You can get ready like this.
But for me, I do this.
I try to get the notes I usually use.
- I get ready with these notes. - Right.
Jae Hyung, your expression is just like ours.
You're amazed.
We have totally different expressions.
I knew everything when I heard him.
You don't even know what he means.
You know what he meant when he said, "Work on"?
- Of course. - What is it?
He means he works on his own pitches.
For me, my range goes like this.
(Hyun Moo's patented pitches)
Why would you shake your body when you sing?
Why do you do that? What's this for?
- It's a warmup. - Why do you do that?
This is ridiculous.
- That's how he sings. - Why do you do that?
Why do you do that?
Ben, I heard that you cleanse your nose...
before you take the stage.
When I sing on the stage,
I sometimes raise my chin up.
To make me seem taller, a lot of cameramen film me...
from the bottom.
- They are considerate. - They are considerate.
My fans say I sing with my nostrils...
because they are...
- too visible. - That's funny.
(Ben sings passionately.)
(Her nostrils stand out.)
It's something you need to be careful about.
- My goodness. - Her fans wrote those comments.
"She should get her nostrils insured."
Yes.
That's why I cleanse my nose before I take the stage.
I see.
That's funny.
Jae Hyung, do you have a dark past you want to erase?
- Yes, I do. - Okay.
I am not good at running.
Back in the days, I was a guest at "Infinite Challenge".
I took a sketchbook from Jung Hyung Don...
- and ran. - I remember that.
- You ran away. - I ran away.
- I tripped. - Let's watch the video.
I wish I had fallen down.
That's the video.
- What was that? - Seriously.
He threw the sketchbook,
but it got caught in his scarf.
- How did that happen? - It's hilarious.
I tripped...
over my own foot, but it looks like I fell down...
because the sketchbook was too heavy for me.
That's the video Jae Hyung told us about.
There is another one, right?
Min Soo informed us about Jae Hyung's dark past.
To be honest, I have a lot of interest in Jae Hyung.
- That's right. - I look up videos of him...
when I want to know how he is doing or miss him.
- That's how I came across this. - What is it?
- That's it. - What is that?
- Who is that? - Is that Jae Hyung?
It's hilarious.
(What's Jae Hyung's dark past?)
It's hilarious.
(Jae Hyung when he was a member of BASIS)
Even back then, he had a nasal voice.
He is dancing!
My goodness.
(He dances in a strange way.)
How did you find this video?
What is your problem?
(I hate it)
He looks so cute in that video.
- I have never seen him dance. - My goodness.
I wanted to share this.
How old were you?
I was 24 or 25 years old.
When I saw it on social media,
- I was... - It's hilarious.
Was that a dance routine you had practiced?
Was it improvised?
Did it look like a dance move like that requires practice?
I was embarrassed and confused to be on TV.
Solid was popular back then.
- That's right. - So...
- he danced like that. - He was copying Solid.
(I hate it)
I didn't sing like that.
I swear you did.
- I want to keep that video. - Seriously.
- It's good material. - Don't erase it.
Where else would you see him like that?
That video surprised me.
- Let's not erase this memory. - Let's not do that.
- It should be enjoyed more. - Yes.
It should be enjoyed more.
Lastly, we will erase Seung Hwan's dark past.
What kind of dark past do you have?
Do you have one?
- It's about the music video... - I see.
for my debut song,
"The Fool".
I had to play a drunk man.
I know what this is about.
Hui Yeol still complains about how he can't act.
I can't act because I am not an actor,
so they made me drink.
I drank four bottles of soju.
(He drank 4 bottles of soju on the day of the shoot.)
- That's too much. - I didn't even get food.
I don't remember what happened.
The music video makes me go, "Did I really do that?"
Shall we watch it?
That performance...
- My goodness. - You are a bit drunk then.
- I am drunk for real. - You are drunk for real.
For real?
It's method acting.
(He relies on alcohol to forget about his ex-girlfriend.)
- It's too embarrassing to watch. - He looks happy.
He is having a good time.
He looks happy.
- He is drunk for real. - It looks good.
- It's real. - He is really drunk.
(Completely drunk)
He is drunk.
(A drunk man's smile)
- I can tell he is drunk. - He looks cute.
I can't watch it.
I can't believe it.
You did a good job of portraying a drunk man.
- He was a drunk man. - He wasn't acting.
It's no wonder it looks so real.
I think it looks like...
I am doing a poor job of portraying a drunk man.
- No. - No, no.
- No, it doesn't. - You really look drunk.
- Seriously. - His smile gave me the chills.
He did such a good job.
- It was scary. - Wasn't he like Johnny Depp?
What?
(I hate it)
Do you really want us to erase this memory?
- I like it. - I know.
You look like an incredible actor.
- I think you did a great job. - Yes.
I am surprised by the good reaction.
- So I won't erase it. - Okay.
- Good thinking. - You should keep it.
You should keep it.
All right. We had "Christmas in August" today.
How was it today?
It was my first visit to a variety show.
Thanks to the others,
I was at ease.
It was also my first visit to a variety show.
I was very nervous,
but I had fun. I thought I would...
- only be nervous. - I had fun as well.
If you invite me back in the future, I will come prepared.
I hope you come alone without Min Soo then.
Please.
"Please."
- All right. - Seung Hwan.
I was on the show again after a while.
I had a lot of fun talking...
and listening to others.
I get nervous about visiting a talk show.
Being with the nice senior and junior artists...
made me feel more at ease.
The fact that Ben succeeded enough to visit...
a popular variety show made this experience meaningful.
- On August 24th, - That's right.
Jang Hye Jin and I will have a concert.
Please come.
- All right. - Seriously.
This is a great show. The four MCs...
created a warm ambiance...
of Happy Together.
You released an album after a hiatus of nine years.
Please work faster for the fans...
who wait for you.
All right. I will work hard.
You should also tell us about your upcoming concert.
It will happen on August 23rd, 24th, and 25th.
I want to work on music more...
and re-establish myself as a musician.
- Please do that. - Thank you.
We had fun thanks to the guests.
We will be back next week. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(We give thanks to all the guests for coming.)
(Next week)
(Older women want to treat this man to a meal.)
He is a beautiful man with a sweet voice.
(The young national heartthrob, Jung Hae In)
Jung Hae In!
(Check out the story on Happy Together's Music Album.)
(Jung Hae In is handsome.)
(Jung Hae In has good skin.)
(Jung Hae In gets confused at times.)
(Jung Hae In looks cool even when he sweats.)
(How will Kim Go Eun describe Jung Hae In?)
- Be honest. - Be honest.
(His lips go dry.)
(Hae In is...)
(Dear viewers,)
(promise me you will watch...)
(Happy Together's Music Album next week.)
