(I wanted to learn how to play the drums?)
(Suddenly he's into drums.)
(Random drum lesson)
(The genius drummer was born only in three hours.)
(Jae Seok's drum beat expands.)
(Relay song-creating journey)
(Acoustic guitar: Lee Juck, Genius drummer: Yu Jae Seok)
(Genius drummer: Yu Jae Seok)
(Keyboard: Yu Hui Yeol)
(In a short while)
(Sunwoo Jung A and Yu Jae Seok)
(An unusual chemistry)
(Lee Sang Soon, Juk Jae, Yu Jae Seok are like Tom and Jerry.)
You've changed.
(Jeong Dong Hwan and Yu Jae Seok)
(A muse and a religious fanatic?)
(Jae Seok's drum and Dong Hwan's keyboard)
(Jae Seok can't stop gasping.)
(What music did Dong Hwan manage to create?)
(Yuplash)
(One stifling summer day)
(Jae Seok and Hui Yeol meet for an interim evaluation.)
He's here.
You mouthed toad.
Is this deja vu? It's all the same.
(It's just like the shoot from three weeks ago.)
- Right? - The same shoes.
- My gosh. - Just like three weeks ago.
Why are you so late?
Sit down.
- Jae Seok. - Sit down.
Don't call me a narrow-mouthed toad the minute you see me.
So I called you a mouthed toad.
No, seriously. I have two kids.
(Through gritted teeth)
They ask questions.
- Why... - Don't do it.
- I can't have it. - Then...
- I'll explain it to them in detail. - Why...
- Why you got that nickname? - Don't call me that.
Why am I called grasshopper then?
Because you look like one.
That goes for you too.
You two are better than me.
- Guess what my kid said. - What?
"Dad. Why are you a pervert?"
- That's a bit... - "I don't know."
You people are on TV. Wear some bright colors.
Look. Seriously.
Sorry.
- You're a mess. - I had no idea.
Is that Charlie Brown?
This won't do.
Isn't that your son's shirt?
(What's he saying?)
Is Ji Ho into the boxy look these days?
- However boxy... - That's more like him.
Since we're talking about him.
- This won't air but... - What?
- Na Eun... - Yes.
(He said it won't air, so we won't show it.)
The editors cut out stuff like this anyway.
You're really a troublemaker.
- Let's only say what will air. - Why do you edit what you say?
I'll say this in advance.
I felt bad about what I said when I was with you two last time.
I felt intimidated as well.
You two are just not that good.
What?
What do you mean?
We saved your dying beat.
You saved a dying beat?
I don't get it.
I gave you two a great drum beat.
It was the biggest crisis in my musical career.
- What crisis? - "Am I this poor?"
I thought I could manage,
but the beat, you heard it.
Hui Yeol, you really struggled.
It was so tough.
I don't know how the music turned out.
- They didn't let me listen. - We don't know either.
Can we listen today?
- Really? - Can we see too?
- Yes. - The footage too?
Shall we watch the clips then?
- What do I... - My gosh.
Are you a servant?
"Shall we watch then? Can we see?"
Just say, "Yes, master," and you're a slave.
- Shall I use these too? - My goodness.
Among us, you play Cho Sae Ho's character.
You're Sae Ho when it's just the three of us.
You're in "Funding Together", Tae Ho's other show.
You're Tae Ho's slave.
"Shall we watch then?"
Why don't you just ask if you can go home?
Ask permission for everything.
"Can I eat dinner?"
- "What should I do?" - "Can I eat the side dishes?"
- Ask everything. - Is...
Is he being noisy?
Gosh, you're helpless.
You've become Tae Ho's slave.
When did this happen?
- Wear your headphones. - Is this...
Let's see what happened.
Will it show on that TV?
Play it, Hui Yeol.
Hang on, what... "Genius Drummer" is still here.
You're computer illiterate.
The "Genius Drummer" file's still here.
Let's watch this again.
(Peekaboo)
Why are we starting with this?
He pressed play.
We're watching where it all began. The starting point.
(Such cute motions)
Doesn't that video make you tear up?
Why?
Look at Son Star.
He suffered so much.
(We'll remember you...)
(for putting your soul into teaching our genius.)
It's been a while since we watched this.
- I should keep a copy. - My goodness.
You're so farsighted.
Can you not look at it like that?
Try looking at it from further away.
He's doing this.
(Further away)
I'll play the video, everyone.
There.
(Onto Jae Seok's drum beat,)
(Hui Yeol added a keyboard track.)
That should be good enough, right?
There are the drum beat and a very basic keyboard track.
We need a bass track that will keep it all together.
I'll leave that to a senior musician.
Poor old Yoon Sang who lives alone.
Oh, it went to Sang.
Oh, Yoon Sang?
(Hui Yeol passed it on to Yoon Sang.)
(A sensitive musician with a 29-year career in music)
He looks so good.
A 29-year career.
- I used to adore his music. - Of course.
- I still like it. - Me too.
Oh, yes.
- He represented us. - Yoon Sang, yes...
He visited North Korea as a musical director.
It's been a while since I saw him make the Africa Dotto song.
(Africa Dotto, sleepy Dotto)
I welcome this project.
I'm up for anything if that's music-related.
If Hui Yeol asks for help,
I usually say yes.
(First, he checks Jae Seok's drum beat.)
He's really particular when it comes to rhythm.
I wonder what he'll say.
This level... I can work with this just fine.
See? Did you see that? Only you two...
Hey, wait.
Jae Seok's mistaken about one thing.
To edit and clean up this beat,
my engineer stayed at work for three days straight.
He cut it up into pieces...
And put it together to make a track.
He put it all together.
- But... - That's what Sang got.
It's not like I knew how to play the drums.
I recorded that on the first day.
- That's... - Like you said before,
he has a slight hip-hop groove.
- Your hip-hop... - I must say this.
Hui Yeol recorded the keyboard track.
- I pushed it back just slightly. - Okay.
With the drums, it was like this.
It's laid-back.
It goes like this.
- Like D'Angelo. - That's it.
What he means is, the drums...
I'll look it up. Don't explain.
- He said D'Angelo. - Add it in subtitles.
- This is... - Gosh, this...
- My gosh, I... - Shall I not explain?
No one else I know who went...
to Seoul National University is this arrogant.
- Stop talking about that. - I...
- Why should I stop? - You sound old-fashioned.
You're riling me up today.
I don't like this either,
but you should listen when intelligent people talk to you.
Listen to us. Give us your attention.
(Laughing)
Listen.
It was pushed back, so it feels weird.
- Really? - It's laid-back.
Right. That's why it sounds like Diablo's music.
It's not "Diablo".
Just be quiet. I'll look it up myself.
That's wrong.
- Isn't that the name of a game? - Come on.
Let me be clear. I'll take both of you down.
I'm confident I can take you down.
(You'd better not start.)
(It's the problematic fill-in section.)
(Let us explain about this fill-in section.)
(When Hui Yeol was working on the song...)
(Drumming)
(Feeling lost)
(The snare fill-in was a big task for him.)
How can I make it better?
- As for the fill-in, - He laughed. Look.
I get why he was worried.
(Let me see.)
This one was nice.
Given that he has never sat in front of the drums...
- in his life, he's decent. - Right.
- Yes, that's true. - Right.
And besides, everyone knows...
Jae Seok has some good rhythm.
Even other drummers have a hard time coming back to the original beat...
- after doing the snare fill-in. - Right.
- When they come back to the start, - Right.
even good drummers' beat can be off.
Well, this is understandable from Jae Seok.
Once we add onto this beat with other instruments,
- He knows something. - it will be fine.
Did you hear him?
Sang even studied abroad, you know. So he's...
He can see the bigger picture.
(People ought to look at the big picture.)
It's because he has taught a lot of students.
(He checks what Hui Yeol has worked on.)
What's that?
- You did that? - Yes.
(It looks like he has thought of something.)
(He picks up the bass guitar.)
(Actually, Yoon Sang...)
A lot of people don't know this about Sang.
- He was in Seung Chul... - You're right.
and Wan Sun's band.
- He was also in Paper Mode. - Right.
Sang is great at playing the bass.
- Really? - He's great.
(It turns out that Sang is the master of bass guitars.)
(What kind of changes will his bass guitar bring to the song?)
It's been so long since I last saw him play the bass.
He looks so cool.
- My gosh. You know? - Sang.
- Seriously. - Actually, I have...
- a confession to make. - Has it been a decade?
It's been four years since I played the bass guitar...
- after hooking it up. - See?
The last time I played was...
for Lovelyz when they were on "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook".
I'd never played it since then.
- It's been 4 to 5 years now. - See?
My beat brought this butterfly effect.
I helped him wake up.
(I can't hear you. Sang is going to play the bass.)
I'll record the intro first.
(He starts with the intro.)
Okay.
(The heaviness of the low-pitched notes fills the room completely.)
I don't like it.
- He's a perfectionist. - I'll try again.
(The notes sound much softer this time.)
(He listens to it right away.)
That's what he did.
Okay.
(The melody starts smoothly as if the water is flowing down.)
(The rhythmical melody of the bass guitar...)
(changes the mood of the song.)
Hui Yeol was being ambitious.
The chords and tension he came up with are impressive.
The composition of the song isn't exactly easy.
(To meet Hui Yeol's ambitions, he works hard.)
- He's the one being ambitious. - Exactly.
(It's hard to believe that he hasn't played for 4 years.)
He even included the noise from the bass guitar.
This is so nice. You know?
- I can't believe it will be on TV. - It's already over?
Here's a thing. Not that many people have this chance...
to listen to the bass only.
But the song can't be that short.
Be quiet. Let's listen to it first.
(Yuplash: Yu Jae Seok, Yu Hui Yeol, and Yoon Sang's version)
(Bass guitar by Yoon Sang)
(Keyboard by Yu Hui Yeol)
(Drums by Yu Jae Seok)
(The bass guitar's presence is heavy, yet subtle.)
(It sounds more like real music now.)
(His beat has become more pleasant with the addition of the bass.)
That was amazing.
It's saved!
(The beat is saved!)
Gosh, this is fascinating.
I just got goosebumps.
(He's done with his work for the day.)
(Sang is calling someone.)
Whom is he calling?
- Chan Young? - Sang.
Why are you video calling me?
- Right. He called me. - It was you?
- Well, you and I should... - What?
see each other when we talk.
(Feeling embarrassed)
- Hui Yeol. - Right now...
- Yes? - I got the track.
I think the fill-in was nice.
- Why were you so worried? - See? Why did you say that?
I knew you could do it. You're a master.
- Hey. - Only you could make it work.
No, I'm not a master.
I'm older than you only by two years.
- So I'm an old man? - See?
(I'm not some kind of an old master.)
- Yes, Sang is sensitive about age. - Right.
You were so worried about the fill-in.
- So I'll play just that part. - It was really hard.
- Right. - The fill-in?
(He plays the music.)
- What was that? - That's great.
(The fill-in section has become much better. )
- What was that? - That's nice.
- It improved by a landslide. - It wasn't that bad.
- Really? - Isn't this enough for you?
Hold on.
- This is not right. - Okay.
- When you worked on your music, - Okay.
you kept deleting the track...
and had to think for two days...
- because of some noise. - That's so true.
- Really? - Why are you so lenient...
- all of a sudden? - He hates it when it's not perfect.
Hey, this isn't my song.
Come on, Sang.
- That was pretty mean. - Listen.
I had to be fair.
That's how the track owner played it.
Exactly.
- We must adjust the level. - Right.
(He's happy to have found an excuse.)
- Okay, Sang. - Okay. Have a good day.
- Okay. - Bye.
Given the Hui Yeol's electric piano's track,
this song will be...
a rhythm and blues song.
- It's an eight-beat RnB song. - Right.
This will be an RnB song?
- Yes. - It does have a similar vibe.
The moment he played the electric piano,
the genre of the song has been determined.
As the song started to form,
I just played the bass guitar...
that would go well with Hui Yeol's electric piano.
I just added that onto the track.
Please do a good job.
Anyway, if you aim for a perfect track,
you will be greatly disappointed at first.
So brace yourself.
Please just have fun with the track.
Good luck.
(Enjoy it if you can't avoid it.)
By the way, I think Sang is really cool.
First of all, it's been so long since I saw him...
- play an instrument. - Yes.
That makes me happy.
- Did you see that? - I am touched.
You did see how my beat is changing the world, right?
- What? - You have no idea what this means.
What do you mean by that?
You have no idea.
My beat...
aroused Sang's passion, you know.
I made it so that he would play the bass guitar.
By the way,
just to get Jae Seok to play the drums...
at Saebyul Oreum in Jeju Island,
so many people have to work so hard.
Why would I play the drums at Saebyul Oreum in Jeju Island?
When did I agree to that?
- You must climb up there alone. - It doesn't matter...
whether you want to or not.
Tae Ho decided to do that.
Gosh, look at these turncoats.
You're his puppet. Tae Ho's puppet.
You are just like Noron and Soron.
You are. You know that?
Do you even know what you're talking about?
- He's unbelievable. - "Noron and Soron"?
I can't believe his guts.
- I'll ask you then. - My gosh.
- I should teach you a lesson. - I'll ask you then.
Let's just keep watching.
(Forget it. Let's keep watching.)
(Who is the next musician?)
(Musician: Zi Seung Nam)
(A man visits Hui Yeol's studio.)
(It's Lee Sang Soon.)
- Hello. - Hello.
(He can captivate everyone with just a finger.)
(Irresistible guy, Guitarist Lee Sang Soon)
What do I need to do?
Sang Soon plays the guitar really beautifully.
- Really? - Yes.
Hui Yeol said that if he decided...
on the song form, it'd be hard for others.
(Hui Yeol only played the keyboard on the beat for the next musician.)
The next musician should have a hard time with this too.
He's not...
asking me to decide on the song form, right?
No, probably not.
What? I have to decide on it?
- No, no. Probably not. - It's not, right?
Whenever the musicians get this,
they are all flustered.
But...
- there's no melody. - Right.
I just have to play onto whatever track we have.
I think the last person will pay for this dearly.
Right. That's that person's business.
(Who's visiting him in the studio?)
- Who's that now? - Hello.
- Oh, it's Juk Jae. - Juk Jae.
Right. It's Juk Jae.
(The most popular guitarist and singer-songwriter nowadays)
(Famous musicians such as IU, Tae Yeon, and Sam Kim...)
(have worked with him.)
(He has a sentimental voice that is a treat to the ears.)
(Juk Jae is a multi-talented musician.)
To be honest, I didn't know much about Juk Jae.
- There is a famous song of his. - What is it?
Park Bo Gum sang it.
(Do you want to go and see the stars with me)
What is that?
Do you want to go and see the stars with me
(Here is the footage that will help the viewers.)
(Hui Yeol sings the song with a different feel.)
I had no idea what you were singing at first.
He is really bad at singing.
- That's Juk Jae's song. - Really?
- Bo Gum sang it... - I like that song.
- for a commercial. - It was inserted into a commercial.
- That's Juk Jae's song. - Yes.
- Juk Jae composed it. - He is a good guitarist.
Shall we hear it?
(They hear the relay song for the first time.)
(Jae Seok's drums,)
(Hui Yeol's keyboard,)
(and Sang's bass)
(How is the collaboration of the three instruments?)
See? My drum beats...
- add stability to the song. - No, they don't.
Other components are complimenting the drum beats.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Everyone is administering CPR to the song.
- Do you get it? - Yes. I think it's nice.
Juk Jae gets it.
I think it would be nice to add the electric guitar,
so I brought in you.
The guitar...
- Oh, you are here. - Hello.
Stop visiting my office whenever you feel like it.
It's close to my place.
It's like a guest room.
He enters the office when I am about to eat.
He comes and ransacks the fridge.
Juk Jae, I am sorry to say this when we have just met,
but I have found confidence in my drum beats.
I met Dong Hwan the other day.
The song is better than I thought.
- Really? - It's nice.
It would be hard for me to be musical with these drum beats.
That's not true. You can be musical.
You are giving me confidence.
If you add the melody of "Hey Jude" to my drum beats,
I would be Ringo Starr.
(He is hilarious.)
You weren't like this before. You changed after marrying Hyo Lee.
Me?
You didn't laugh at people before.
I am not laughing at you.
- Back in the days... - All right, Ringo Starr.
There isn't a variation, but...
No, there isn't. There is no variation whatsoever.
I couldn't believe Sang Soon.
- He kept looking down on me. - He keeps you in check.
- I love Sang Soon. - I know.
You can't listen to this right now, right?
- That's right. - You can leave.
- There is nothing for you to do. - How could you say that...
when I postponed an appointment to come here?
But there is nothing for you to do.
I can't believe you!
I mean...
What is your problem? He has changed a lot.
- I am serious. - When he taught me the guitar,
he didn't laugh or talk much. He just taught me the guitar.
(Sang Soon taught Jae Seok how to play the guitar.)
(Playing the guitar diligently)
I was there to teach you how to play the guitar.
You didn't talk much. You never said if I was good or bad.
I am here to give you an overall explanation...
on what my drum beats...
are trying to achieve.
I am here to explain that to the musicians.
I got here in a hurry.
Let's hear that explanation.
(I love him.)
- I can't believe him. - He knows you well.
- He knows you well, Jae Seok. - I can't believe him.
Hurry up and explain so that you can leave.
How could you say that?
What is your problem? You weren't like this before.
Jae Seok, people change.
My goodness.
Hey, this is like a thriller movie.
Sang Soon's image was sugarcoated on "Hyo Lee's Bed and Breakfast".
- It's true. - He does have those sides,
- but... - It's true.
- You aren't a saint either. - No.
He is a strange man. Sang Soon, you've changed a lot.
I was only going along with what you were saying.
It's not like I doubt...
Sang Soon and Juk Jae's talent,
but would you put my heart at ease...
- by showing me what you can do? - I needed to see that.
(If we show him what we can do,)
(would he understand?)
Stop exchanging looks!
I know what this atmosphere is.
Stop it already. Musicians keep looking down on me.
- It's not like that. - I won't stay still.
I will bring fellow comedians with me.
Juk Jae, play your new song.
- Your new song. - Juk Jae is good.
When he puts his heart into it, his fingers fly on the guitar.
- Really? - I am serious.
Guitar.
He is promoting his new song in a natural way.
He is already popular.
It's nice.
Since he started out with heavy metal,
he has a broad musical spectrum.
Also, he entered a college of music early.
- He entered college one year early. - Really?
He took an exam when he was in 11th grade.
That's incredible.
- That's the song. - He is good.
It was quite nice.
Please play a song by Nirvana.
- Nirvana? - I love Kurt Cobain.
A song by Nirvana...
That's what I need to hear.
I need to hear something I know.
(It suits his tastes.)
(Juk Jae's jukebox...)
(makes the senior musicians dance.)
I fully trust him now, you know.
Whether it's a guitar or another instrument,
I fully acknowledge a musician when he or she plays...
a song I request. Gosh, I love Nirvana.
(He became a musician Jae Seok acknowledges.)
Non-musicians...
- have to hear a song they know. - That's right.
I have to hear a song I know.
(A good example of a non-musician)
Okay. I will get going now.
- Jae Seok. - I have an appointment anyway.
- Are you leaving so soon? - Are you leaving?
(He feels dizzy.)
You could stay a bit longer.
- He is so annoying. - You could make yourself at home.
Sang Soon is so annoying.
- You should drink a beverage. - "Are you leaving so soon?"
- I mean... - Sang Soon is so annoying.
We will make a good song.
- Please do that. - You saw how good Juk Jae was.
I know we have just met, but please do a good job.
- Juk Jae was very trustworthy. - I don't know about Sang Soon,
but you are very trustworthy.
You played a song by Nirvana.
I thought, "He can do that."
- "He is an expert." - That's right.
- Juk Jae is like that. - "An expert"!
- I will keep in touch. - Bye.
- Thank you. - Bye.
All right.
I guess that Sang Soon...
hasn't recorded a guitar performance for a long time.
(Acoustic guitar must be recorded through a microphone.)
Keep this over here.
(Thus, he is isolated in the booth.)
I wonder what Sang Soon will add.
Let's see it.
(Expectant)
(He relaxes his fingers in an impressive way.)
Sang Soon studied playing the guitar in the Netherlands.
You don't need to share that. Stop the video for a second.
Do you think you are a music critic?
- Why won't you stop talking? - His is Im Jin Mo of our era.
For goodness' sake.
Let's do the MR and level check.
- Let's go. - Okay.
(The booth gets filled...)
(with the sound of Sang Soon's guitar.)
How is it now?
(Sang Soon doesn't like something.)
- This note is... - Yes?
a bit aggravating. How does it sound to you?
- He is very sensitive. - I thought it was nice.
It's because of a single note.
Really?
- You don't get it, do you? - No, I don't.
(It's a small difference a non-musician can't catch.)
It's the first string, right?
- The top string. - It's the fifth string.
(One guitar string seems to stand out.)
Maybe you are too close to the microphone.
- The microphone. - Do you mean this side?
- Yes. That side. - Okay.
The neck side.
It got a bit better.
- Let's begin. - Okay.
(The recording begins.)
It's extremely hard...
to add the acoustic guitar sound to what I have made.
(The acoustic guitar plays an important role in the song.)
(He is a musician who came after Sang.)
(How will Sang Soon contribute to the song?)
(My goodness.)
(The sound of the drums...)
(and Sang Soon's guitar harmonize gently.)
(It's the unadulterated sound...)
(of the acoustic guitar.)
(The sound of Sang Soon's guitar piles on...)
(as if it has always been a part of the song.)
(The three men are falling into the sound of Sang Soon's guitar.)
Juk Jae, what do you think?
Yes, that was just right.
I think that's good for this part.
(Clapping)
- Gosh, that was cool. - It was.
Sang Soon did such a great job with the guitar.
How can he do that?
It's harder to play an acoustic guitar than an electronic one.
- Is that so? - Yes.
When it comes to an acoustic guitar...
When other instruments are added, an acoustic guitar is tough to hear.
- Really? - It fits into the sound.
That means... It's like a midfield player in soccer.
(It's like a midfield player in soccer.)
Then why do you play that? It should be heard.
(They just let him go on with a burst of laughter.)
It should be heard.
- An instrument should be heard. - There are reasons.
If it can't be heard, why should you play that?
That's why I didn't play too well.
- Really? To be heard? - I wanted it to be heard.
I see. Great job.
Okay, then. I'll begin with the strokes.
Strokes.
(Stroking: A way of playing guitar by strumming up and down)
(He created yet another world...)
(by changing the way he plays.)
(No matter how many times you look,)
(he looks cool.)
That's so cool.
He still has the feelings from his Rollercoaster days.
- Yes, the rhythm. - Yes.
(Sang Soon's heyday as a guitarist of Rollercoaster)
(He still has the feelings from his Rollercoaster days.)
(Juk Jae is deep in thoughts by himself.)
Sir, do you have some music paper?
- Here. - Thank you.
(Juk Jae quietly takes some music paper.)
(What is he going to do with the music paper?)
(While Sang Soon plays the guitar...)
(Focused)
(He listens to Sang Soon playing...)
(and jots down the chord on the spot.)
(Both Sang Soon, who is playing on the spot,)
(and Juk Jae, who is jotting down the chords on the spot are amazing.)
(He organizes the composition...)
(right away.)
I always find this so cool.
You do that without thinking, right?
Of course, you come, then you listen to music,
- and come up with that. - You make it as you listen to it.
You musicians are amazing.
Right? You can feel that as you watch this, can't you?
My gosh, man.
Gosh, he's so good.
(He makes a romantic ending.)
Something like that.
That was great.
We don't have to record that again, do we?
No.
(The acoustic guitarist, Sang Soon, is finished.)
(It's time for Juk Jae, the electric guitarist, to play!)
- An electric guitar stands out. - Really?
Because it fills the empty parts.
The right sound in the right place.
You're right.
- That's exactly what it does. - Exactly.
Goodness, I'll get to see Juk Jae playing.
(He practices first.)
(Ding-dong)
(Focused)
(Staring)
He's playing this as if it's his solo song.
- He's filling it up too much. - It's too full of sounds.
(Well...)
(Getting up)
- Juk Jae. - Yes?
- Juk Jae. - Yes.
Everything sounds great,
but you should remember that we'll have a vocalist too.
- It was too filled up. - It was too full.
Sang Soon is also very good at playing like that.
Filling up the empty space quietly.
- That's what he's best at. - Yes.
He's more concerned because that's his junior.
I'm sure Juk Jae is really nervous.
Because Sang Soon is...
- The master of such style. - He is.
Who's going to be the vocalist?
No idea.
Doesn't it sound like Hyuk should sing?
(Should Oh Hyuk of HYUKOH sing this song?)
That would work.
- Like this. - He would be perfect.
Yes, Hyuk should try it out.
Would it be me?
Why? Are you tempted again?
We should stop here.
- What did you say? - "Are you tempted again?"
- I think you're tempted. - "Are you tempted again?"
- You are... - I mean...
- turning him down quietly. - Hey, wait a second.
I just want to sing this song on top of the beat that I made.
- My goodness. - I can't believe this.
Can you make a melody on top of that song?
- What melody? - Of this song.
- Let's try this once. - Okay.
We have to have the lyrics.
You can just make the melody without the lyrics.
You can just hum.
- Yes, try it. - It's called the top line.
(Singing)
Stop following after us.
- What do you want me to do again? - Make the melody on top of that.
- On top of that? - You have to make the melody.
- In 1, 2, 3, 4. - On top of this.
(So I have to make the melody?)
(The genius drummer makes the melody on the spot.)
That's "Mo' Better Blues".
("Mo' Better Blues", a theme song of the movie with the same title,)
(starring Denzel Washington and Wesley Snipes,)
(which was also beloved in Korea ever since its premiere in 1990.)
(He copies it exactly the same.)
You'll get arrested.
- Why? - For plagiarism.
Okay. Then the ending of this program will be...
the footage of me getting arrested.
Something that provocative.
(The first show ever to end in a prison cell)
- According to the trend? - I'll end up...
According to the trend, I'll end it with a provocative note.
I'll get locked up in prison.
- We'll give you outside food. - Outside food?
(Juk Jae begins to record.)
That's called muting. That sound.
Will you stop explaining?
It's like an episode of "Encyclopedia of Useless Facts".
Why do you keep explaining stuff?
That's very important.
A slider.
(The recording continues.)
(Smiling)
I'll do a dubbing on this track.
(Single-track dubbing, mono sound)
(Dual-track dubbing, stereo sound)
(It's a recording method used to give a three-dimensional effect.)
(He plays continuously.)
How does he do that on the spot after hearing the music?
(The recording continues without any trouble.)
- Okay. - And...
Can you give me another stereo track?
(Juk Jae prepares something.)
(Sliding)
(Using his skills)
Juk Jae is really good at doing those stuff.
- That sliding thing. - He's really good.
(And...)
(Juk Jae shows off everything that he has.)
(Amazed)
(What will Juk Jae's guitar track...)
(do to Jae Seok's drum beat?)
(Jae Seok's...)
(simple and monotonous drum beat)
(Juk Jae's guitar sound...)
(adds rhythm to his beat.)
(The latter half is also monotonous.)
- So... - Wait, why do you keep saying...
that my drum beat is simple and monotonous?
But now that the sound is filled up,
you don't hear the drum anymore.
That sounds amazing.
- This is like a music show. - Yes.
- It's like a music documentary. - Exactly.
Wow, man. This is so amazing.
How do you make that music on top of that beat?
You became friends with a person who can make that happen.
(Unbelievable)
I can't believe I'm associating with you.
We had this part of the process all figured out...
before you came and sang "Apgujeong", so you have no idea.
- I can't believe you. - We did this part before.
You're being a bit too smart.
The same goes for you.
We set up everything, then you come, talk, and go.
We set up everything already!
I thought of what we'll do!
That's how I brought you two up.
My gosh.
(In no time,)
(Juk Jae's recording session...)
(almost comes to an end.)
(And...)
(the recording is finally over.)
I think I am done.
Let's have a listen.
Gosh, you are really good...
- at playing the guitar. - You are too kind.
It's fun to do this once in a while.
- Shall we have a listen? - Shall we do that?
(It's time to check the result.)
Let's listen to it.
Let's listen to it properly.
All right.
(They feel like they are getting their homework checked.)
(Nervous)
(Sang Soon is a bit nervous as well.)
(Jae Seok's drum beats weren't impressive.)
(How did they change?)
(It's time to check what they have recorded.)
(Nervous)
(The originator of the song,)
(Jae Seok is curious.)

(It's present progressive.)
Look at Jae Seok's face!
He is satisfied that the recording is over.
Seriously.
(Satisfied)
- It's amazing. - We made it work.
We can finally breathe now.
- It's amazing. - We can finally breathe now.
Finally,
I joined the ranks of these musicians.
(Laughing)
I joined the ranks...
(Unbelievable)
of the best musicians in Korea.
Oh, yes.
There isn't anything else we need to do, right?
We have...
Jae Seok's drums,
Hui Yeol's keyboard,
Sang's bass,
my acoustic guitar,
and your electric guitar.
We need someone to come up with the composition.
The next person is really important.
This is when the producing begins...
with the music.
Whom should we pick?
We need someone...
who won't take...
the obvious route.
We could go further...
and turn this into a hip-hop song...
with a rap.
That would be incredible.
(A hip-hop song with this melody?)
This is where our talent ends.
The next person should be...
Gray.
- Gray? - Gray.
Gray is a good choice.
(The musician with strong digital music sales, Gray)
Gray, I hope you would turn this...
into a better song.
- We are in your care. - We are in your care.
(We are in your care.)
Thank you.
(Yu Jae Seok, Yu Hui Yeol,)
(Yoon Sang, Lee Sang Soon, Juk Jae)
(Yu Jae Seok, Yu Hui Yeol, Yoon Sang, Lee Sang Soon, Juk Jae)
(Yu Jae Seok, Lee Juck)
(Jae Seok's drum beats had come to Juck.)
I need to give it to someone.
Hyuk?
Oh Hyuk?
Sunwoo Jung A.
To make this track...
You sent it to someone, right?
- Let's see who received it. - Let's see.
(Jamsil, Seoul)
(Playing Jae Seok's drum beats)
(Tapping)
(Someone is enjoying his genius work.)
- It's Jung A. - Jung A.
I didn't know about Jung A at first.
Sunwoo Jung A.
(She is a genius artist whose voice captivates your ears.)
Jung A is a genius.
She is a treasure of Korea.
- I am serious. - Really?
She started out as a jazz vocalist.
She does everything...
from idol music to difficult genres like jazz.
- She has a broad spectrum. - She has her own style,
but she can arrange all kinds of songs.
She has good musical imagination.
(When "Whistle" by BLACKPINK...)
(meets Sun Woo Jung A,)
(it became a song of a new genre that is Sun Woo Jung A.)
(When "Peek-A-Boo" by Red Velvet...)
(meets Sun Woo Jung A,)
(it became a unique song.)
(She captivates the viewers and herself.)
I hate it when Hui Yeol does that on "Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook".
- That face. - He stands like he knows something.
That's right. She sang "Um Oh Ah Yeh".
(She even changed "Um Oh Ah Yeh" with her unique style.)
There were so many good arrangements.
She did a good job.
(She even took over "King of Mask Singer".)
(Sun Woo Jung A is an artist with unrivaled talent.)
(Her makeup changes as frequently as her music.)
I love her version of "Whistle".
- She is incredible. - Whistle, whistle
(She looks quite different when she isn't on the stage.)
Does he beat drums like this for three minutes?
(Persistent)
(She is playing the version before Juck's work.)
(How am I supposed to make music with these beats?)
(Chuckling)
(Entering)
I had no idea at first.
You just entered.
- Hello. - Look at his face.
My goodness.
(Jae Seok didn't know this was Jung A's studio.)
- Sunwoo Jung A. - We met on "Sugar Man".
(They have met.)
What are you doing here?
(What are you doing here?)
This is my studio.
- Is it? - Yes.
- This is my studio. - That's right.
What brings you here?
I was told to come here.
They didn't tell me that it's Jung A's studio.
Did they just tell you to enter...
- an unfamiliar place? - That's right.
That's too much.
One thing I say the most often on this show is,
"What is this place?"
(What is this place?)
I say that the most often.
What is this video doing here?
Well,
you play the drums for three minutes in this video,
but the beats are the same.
I was just figuring out...
what I am supposed to see here.
- I am quite flustered. - Okay.
I didn't play the drums with an intention.
They just told me to play the drums.
Let's sit down.
Okay.
- It's good to see you. - Yes.
The thing is,
I don't know anything.
- I was just told to come here. - I was a bit intimidated back then.
- I got this... - I had no confidence in the beats.
from Juck.
Did you get this from Juck?
I haven't listened to his work.
I just got it.
- You just got it? - Yes.
I saw you play the drums for the first time.
I have never learned to play the drums.
I played them for the first time that day.
You played them very well...
even though it was your first time.
They called me a genius.
I was so surprised.
A genius?
- Why? - You know...
(Why do they call you a genius?)
No one told me how to play the drums.
I just did it.
- You just did it. - Yes.
Because I just did it...
(Because I just did it...)
It smells like incense.
Yes, I am burning incense over there.
It was such a nuisance.
The smell was so strong.
(This carefree girl can make...)
(an addictive melody.)
(Is incense the driving force?)
I took out my cherished incense.
What kind of incense is this?
I don't know. I bought it yesterday.
- Jae Seok is flustered. - That's right.
She said she didn't know.
- I am saying each word carefully. - You know,
this studio is very atmospheric.
- Really? - Yes.
I bet you made...
a lot of sentimental songs here.
I'm sorry to say this but...
This isn't the studio for dance songs.
(Jae Seok is a bit wary.)
This studio doesn't have the atmosphere for dance songs.
Among my songs,
that one is a dance song.
- "Springirls". - Yes, I made it in here.
Did you make it in here?
(My goodness.)
(She is a unique musician with unexpected charms.)
It's the most upbeat song I have made.
I cover a broader range of musical genres now.
There is a variety.
I was obsessed over dance songs...
- back in the days. - I see.
I now listen to songs of all genres.
Which genres?
I listen to the top 100 songs.
The top 100 songs are varied.
- They are very varied. - Right.
I used to listen to the top 10 songs.
In any case,
what should we do?
I don't know.
I was about to listen to it.
I guess I should do something.
Jung A, which musical instrument do you plan to add?
I mostly use...
my voice.
- Your voice? - Yes.
I can make a pattern with my voice.
- How? - By applying effects...
to the voice, you can turn one note into a chord.
- I can sing each note too. - I didn't really understand.
You can turn one note into many notes using the device.
- It becomes a chord. - It becomes a chord.
Let me listen to it first.
(She puts on her headphones.)
She just started like that.
Maybe I should listen to the edited version.
(She casually starts working.)
(From her headphones,)
(Juck's version starts playing.)
(Jae Seok is not wearing any headphones.)
You're not wearing any headphones.
- You... - I can't hear anything.
What's going on?
- I don't know why I went there. - You should listen to it too.
Why don't I get to listen to it?
I can hear it now. So this is what it sounds like.
(To the bare drum beats,)
(four bars of chords were added.)
(Juck's guitar laid out the framework for the music.)
Only Jung A can hear it.
(She is done listening to Juck's version.)
- What do you think? - All right.
- It was nice. - Does it go well with my drums?
Yes. Juck's guitar...
saved your drumming.
(Juck's guitar saved your drumming.)
(Glancing)
- It saved my drumming? - Yes.
(Without Juck, it would have been dead.)
(Honest)
- Way to go, Jung A! - You're on her side.
How does it sound?
Is it dance, ballad, or bossa nova?
- Modern folk rock, Maybe? - Modern folk rock?
- Yes. - Like Michael Learns to Rock?
Is modern folk rock Michael Learns to Rock to you?
(It must sound something like this amazing classic.)
You can't really call this modern rock though.
- It's modern rock. - It's more like ballad.
I listened to it in modern times, so it's modern rock.
It's ballad.
(Did my beats turn into a Michael Learns to Rock song?)
I'm not sure about that.
(Laughing)
That sounds old.
I've never heard of that band.
- You've never heard of them? - No.
She's a jazz artist.
Should I give it a listen?
They were a famous modern rock band in the early 2000s.
In the early 2000s, I was still a student.
I'm sure you've heard their music.
I mostly listened to hardcore back then.
- She listened to hardcore. - She listened to hardcore.
I love that kind of music.
I'd love to hear it.
I think it's this one.
This is the one.
(Surprised)
- You've never heard this? - No.
It suits you very well.
- It suits me? - Yes.
- What do you mean? - Now I see...
where your usual singing style comes from.
- What is that supposed to mean? - What does she mean?
- Like this. Exactly. - Like this.
- It's... - I love this singing style.
Yours is a lower version of their style.
- A "lower version"? - She said many harsh things.
Your words are pretty harsh.
I don't know how else to explain.
While we're at it, I'd love to know about your music taste.
I'm starting to communicate with her musically.
I think I already know.
I like something like this.
(What?)
- She loves avant-garde music. - Exactly.
(Laughing)
It goes well with the incense, right?
(Her music taste is far from ordinary.)
- It shows on my face, right? - You hate that kind of music.
That kind of music doesn't suit me at all.
Can you play some hardcore music you liked back in high school?
Well...
I'm getting to know you.
(As soon as the music starts, she gets into the rhythm.)
That's the kind of music she likes.
It's Rage Against the Machine.
I don't know who they are.
(Glancing)
(Immersed)
(He tries to copy her.)
(Are they getting closer?)
They all have intros that are too long.
They should start singing by now.
You have a point.
I love this song too.
Nirvana.
(Nirvana swept the world in the 1990s.)
- I love Nirvana. - So do I.
Kurt Cobain.
(Nirvana is Jae Seok's all-time favorite.)
- This intro is long too. - I love it.
This intro is extremely long.
- I definitely know this band. - I love them.
We finally have something in common.
We do. Do you like them?
We finally found a band we both like.
This is the first song I learned to play.
- You learned to play this? - Yes.
I'd love to be able to play a song like this.
- A Nirvana-style song. - You mean the drum part?
- A Nirvana-style song. - But we're pretty far away...
from Nirvana right now.
So what are you going to do with the song?
Exactly. What should I do?
I think I'll use the best instrument I have.
- I'll come up with something. - Are you going to sing?
Kind of.
- I can't wait. - She's going to add vocals?
- To your guitar... - I can't wait to hear it.
Is this a free tempo?
You didn't play the drums to a metronome, did you?
I did.
Really? Then why is it out of rhythm? Give me a second.
(Laughing)
What do I know about a metronome?
I just did what I was told to.
- That's all. - This shouldn't...
What should I...
What should I do? I'm in trouble.
Well...
(The genius drummer is worried.)
(The musician looks calm.)
(Is this going okay?)
What should I do with this?
What should I do? I'm a huge fan of yours. Goodness.
She kept speaking...
- her thoughts out loud. - I should know how you played.
(Thinking)
When you were playing this, what was in your head?
- That's the question I asked. - Exactly.
There was only one thought in my head.
- What was it? - "I won't forgive Tae Ho."
I was pretty angry.
(He was forced to learn how to play drums.)
It's true. I was angry while playing.
(Anger kept surging up.)
- That's good. - Is it?
- I'm getting inspired. - Is it inspiring you?
Yes. Hold on.
(Thanks to the inspiration, she starts speeding up.)
I can't wait to hear it.
How did she add vocals?
Exactly. What is she going to add? Chords?
(Serious)
Should I create some chords?
(She already has an idea in mind.)
(The work progresses fast.)
The tune...
What should I do?
(Smiling)
(Is it going well...)
(or not?)
(I feel like I'm on a remote island.)
Do you need me in this process?
No.
Of course not.
Why was I even sent there?
It's so funny that he's being treated this way.
My goodness.
- Do you feel uncomfortable? - I do.
- This situation... - You're so honest.
This situation can't be comfortable.
You don't really make me...
feel uncomfortable.
I've always been a huge fan of yours.
I can't really think straight right now.
- Really? - Yes.
(After saying that, she starts working right away.)
(Jae Seok is just sitting there.)
Should I...
Pardon?
- Should I leave? - What?
- Should I leave? - Yes.
Even if you think so...
- I mean... - How could you...
How could you say yes right away?
You're sitting right next to me and constantly asking questions.
(Laughing)
- Should I... - Play some games on your phone.
My goodness.
(After speaking her mind, she starts working again.)
She started working just like that.
(She focuses on her singing right away.)
(Jae Seok feels puzzled...)
(and amazed at the same time.)
I can't wait to hear it.
(Feeling inspired, she sings one long note.)
(Jae Seok feels like he should remain silent.)
She worked all by herself.
(Jung A is confronting music all alone.)
(Jae Seok is getting immersed in the voice that fills the studio.)
(He is about to enter nirvana.)
(Jung A quenches her thirst.)
(Glancing)
(Gulping)
All right.
Even though you didn't say it, you must feel very comfortable.
You've been drinking water alone without offering any to the guest.
- Oh, I'll give you some water. - That's okay.
I'll get it myself. I saw some in the fridge.
- You can continue working. - Okay.
She's not caring a bit about you.
She's not caring a bit about me?
Gosh.
That means she's concentrating.
- One version is finished. - Really?
- She finished one version. - Is it already finished?
- One verse... - Just like that.
I only get to add one instrument, so...
Then what's going to happen now?
When will it become a finished song?
I have no idea.
I'm not the one to decide.
I can't wait to hear it.
Neither can I.
I couldn't believe it'd turn into a song.
She used her voice instead of a musical instrument.
- Exactly. - I see.
- Will it play now? - How will it sound?
(How does the result sound?)
(Guitar by Lee Juck)
(Drums by Yu Jae Seok)
(Guitar by Lee Juck)
(Chorus by Sunwoo Jung A)
(Drums by Yu Jae Seok)
(Chorus by Sunwoo Jung A)
(Drums by Yu Jae Seok)
(Guitar by Lee Juck)
(Chorus by Sunwoo Jung A)
(Guitar by Lee Juck)
(It's the only melody created by voice.)
That was really nice.
Jung A didn't take too long.
The song reminds me of the morning I ate buns and coffee in Manchester.
The song has a bit of Liverpool feel to it.
Don't you think so?
I think it has Manchester feel to it.
Is that so? Instead of Liverpool?
Anyway, good work, Jung A.
If I had known that this was your studio,
- I should've bought a drink. - That's fine.
- I should've given you water. - Don't worry about it.
- The timing was... - I'm just joking.
I will just go home with a dry throat.
Anyway, I'll be going, Jung A.
Goodbye.
Please put the final touches to the song.
- I will. - All right.
- Take in oxygen. - Okay.
I will take in some oxygen.
Although it was a bit hectic in the beginning,
when I heard the behind story that Jae Seok was angry,
it gave me an inspiration.
We had fun and wrapped things up.
But after we finished,
I thought this person will complete the song nicely.
He plays the piano well.
He arranged many songs and he's very good at it.
I'd like to thank you in advance.
Please complete the song.
(Who is the next musician?)
(Mapo-gu, Seoul)
(Who did Sunwoo Jung A point out?)
(He is Jeong Dong Hwan of MeloMance.)
Finally, you went to Dong Hwan's studio.
- He is a genius. - That's my boy, Jeong Dong Hwan.
Lee Juck likes him a lot.
(He listens to Jae Seok's drum beats.)
(Sound of drums)
(Simpering)
(He feels a sense of helplessness.)
(He softly plays the piano.)
(Sound of drums)
(It's not going to be easy.)
I didn't know who I was meeting at that time.
- Didn't you know? - No.
(The drum genius appears.)
(Peeping)
(The original beat makes him laugh.)
Jae Seok, you like MeloMance, right?
Yes, I do.
But I guess you didn't recognize him.
(He's not aware of who came to see him.)
I couldn't tell by looking at him from the back.
(It's such a humble beat.)
Look at the expression on his face.
(Dong Hwan infuses new life into the beat with his fancy skills.)
Oh, my goodness.
Jae Seok likes this kind of thing.
(Jae Seok blankly listens to it.)
(He continues to simper.)
(Peeping)
(Excuse me.)
- Excuse me. - Oh my gosh.
My goodness.
He was really startled.
Because it was really loud in there.
- You are... - Hello.
You are Dong Hwan, right?
Hello. It's been a while.
Dong Hwan, hey.
(He is a member of MeloMance and a pianist.)
(From ZICO, MINO, Kim Bum Soo, to god,)
(he participated in many of top musicians' keyboard sessions.)
(From Jung Seung Hwan, Paul Kim, to NU'EST W,)
(he participated in composing and arranging various musicians' songs.)
(Jeong Dong Hwan is acknowledged as a talented musician.)
Actually, this is great.
It's nice to see many singers from various generations working...
- together for Jae Seok's track. - You're right.
- It's not easy to gather them. - My beat has...
just unified the music.
(Whatever)
Do you understand?
But why did you laugh as you played the keyboard?
Because I got flustered.
- I'm sorry. - Let's have a seat.
I saw you laughing like that while you were listening to my track.
What do you think?
I think...
As is commonly said, it's a total mess.
But as I listened to it, it's quite attractive...
and you have a good pattern.
What kind of pattern?
When you played on even measures like 4th and 8th measures,
I thought your fill-in is quite unique and had own patterns.
(Once you listen to this unique fill-in...)
(This won't work.)
(This is a common reaction of a musician to Jae Seok's drum beat.)
(What should I do about this?)
I think I can work with this.
(Praise for Jeong Dong Hwan.)
So there is no one else but you?
- I can make it sound like music. - I respect him.
- Can you do it? - Yes.
Are you confident?
- I'm confident. - You're competent.
I think I can do it.
This is crazy.
Then how much work is needed?
How much do you have to work on it, Dong Hwan?
I think we didn't even start.
This is only about 10 percent done.
- "10 percent"? - Yes.
What more do we need to add?
We need a singer...
- and a bassist. - I see.
We need those people.
- I don't know much about music. - And other things also.
The only bassist I know is Seo Tai Ji.
- He is the only bassist I know. - Jae Seok is pushing hard.
- He's the only person. - I see.
Then are we going to ask Seo Tai Ji to join us?
I'm not sure. Why don't you ask...
- So my role today is... - Yes?
to make it sound listenable for people to listen to it...
for the whole three minutes.
(His every word is very touching.)
He's like an instructor at an academy in Daechi-dong.
- The most popular instructor. - That's right.
- The one who fascinates parents. - I know.
Today I'm going to try...
to make it sound like music when a next musician listens to it.
Are you sure?
I'll clearly prove the reason for my being today.
You're very confident.
Look at him. Dong Hwan is someone I need.
- I need Dong Hwan. - Both Hui Yeol and Juck showed...
negative reactions.
But you're the first person to show confidence.
I think I can do it.
- Are you sure? Are you positive? - Yes.
Then don't mind me and work on it.
Are you sure you don't need to listen to it while I work on it?
- Yes, for now. - I see.
I won't be of any help.
- Then I'll listen to it myself. - Okay, go ahead.
(This is the music that was delivered to Dong Hwan.)
(Lee Juck reliably supported...)
(Jae Seok's meager drum beat...)
(with his guitar playing.)
(And Sunwoo Jung A added her dreamlike voice to the music...)
(and created richer sound.)
Actually, it sounds better than I thought.
- Is it okay? - It's a good song.
What did I say?
- Lee Juck guided it through. - Just because he complimented...
the song, that doesn't mean he likes your drum beat.
What he meant by a good song is...
- Dong Hwan... - Hold on.
I like the song.
- Are you sure? - It's quite nice.
- Do you really like it? - Yes.
- Other musicians revised it... - Jung A did something to the song.
to make it sound beautiful.
- Do you want to make pop music? - Yes.
- I have a broad spectrum of music. - Okay.
I usually listen to top 100 songs in music charts.
I heard that you listen to top 10 songs only.
- Did you see the show? - Yes.
It was a good choice...
- that you chose me. - Why is that?
Did you hear what he said?
He knows what I want.
- He knows my taste. - He is a pro.
He caters to my taste.
Dong Hwan, you don't have to do that.
He's been working with Park Hyo Shin,
Seung Hwan, and Paul Kim.
He's working with various entertainments.
He worked with John Park.
He became good at making insincere flattery.
Let's receive energy from top 10 songs.
And I'll turn this into lyrical and popular music.
Since it's been quite a while, can we listen to "Gift"?
"Gift"? Shall we listen to it through the speakers?
Sounds good. We must listen to "Gift".
How about I play "Gift" on top of your drum beat?
My drum beat?
- Why not? - He featured on my drum beat.
Listen. He played on my drum beat.
(How would he play a sweet love song on Jae Seok's dull drum beat?)
Let me try. Hold on.
For real?
Can you really play "Gift" on my drum beat?
I will try.
He made it work.
(As the song begins, the sound of drum and piano harmonize.)
- Jae Seok is delighted. - Look at him.
Do you see the look on his face?
He found a partner.
(It's a fascinating piano melody.)
(It's a gift)
(What was that?)
Dong Hwan...
I don't sing.
- I know. - I don't sing well.
You really surprised me.
- Min Seok is the vocalist. - You quit singing at a high note.
Yes.
Do you want me to sing?
I'm a fan of MeloMance.
(Just like a fish in water, Jae Seok picked up a microphone.)
- Okay, I'll sing from there. - He is excited.
- In 1, 2. - I loved it.
- What is he going to do? - It's a gift
- That's his raw voice. - Just for me
(Struggling)
- I couldn't sing that part. - It's too high.
I couldn't sing that part with my raw voice.
- I couldn't sing it. - Was it this high?
This is the original key.
(Originally, "Gift" is a beautiful song.)
Don't stop the song.
In 1, 2.
(Jae Seok's raw-voice live singing started once again.)
(Struggling)
(It's hard to tell whether his voice is a gift or punishment.)
(Ordinary life)
(His voice cracks.)
(At a loss for words)
(But they finish the song beautifully.)
Oh, dear.
Can we play another song on this beat?
- Do you like pop songs? - Of course, I like them a lot.
How about "Let It Be"?
Really? Can we play "Let It Be" on this beat?
It's a bit fast...
(It works.)
He gave me a chill.
(Amazed)
(It's The Beatles.)
My drum beat sounds like that of Ringo Starr.
(Son Star produced Korean Ringo Starr.)
Did you see that? I'm Ringo Starr.
You should dress up like Ringo Starr when you perform live later.
(It's already funny at the very idea.)
That's an awesome idea.
I sound like Ringo Starr.
That's Ringo Starr playing drums, right?
Yes, it's Ringo Starr. We can also play "Hey Jude".
That's a great idea.
(Ringo Starr in a green outfit)
- Look at his outfit. - I know.
Gosh, it's so funny.
- Hey Jude - My gosh, this is crazy.
Ringo Starr.
(Ringo Starr, are you listening?)
Ringo Starr.
Are you listening?
(I can hear your drumbeat.)
(I also hear Dong Hwan's piano playing.)
- Better, better, better, better - Better, better, better, better
(Shouting)
I can hit the high notes.
(Dong Hwan McCartney and Yugo Starr...)
(are on a nationwide tour in their imagination.)
- Whoa! - He's very excited.
He vented all his sorrows just now.
- I thought he was in a karaoke. - Over my beat...
- Right now. - Oh, my.
- Any song is possible. - It even works with "Hey Jude".
Yes, it does.
- Can you play a dance song too? - A dance song?
"Oh My Goodness" by Jang Yun Jung.
- Can you play "Oh My Goodness"? - I guess so.
(Playing a rhythmical melody)
One, two.
(A familiar trot song comes right up.)
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness
- Please don't do this to me - That actually works.
It fits with every song.
Yes, it does.
(Chuckling)
- Right now, I feel... - Yes.
After a little more polishing,
- I could make this a second job. - That's true.
- It's totally possible, isn't it? - Of course.
Everything is possible with the help of editing.
- I think I can count on you. - Yes, you can.
- We're emotionally connected. - We are.
You seem to perfectly understand the customer's need.
- I try to customize each one. - That's right.
- Exactly. - I try.
(The customer satisfaction reaches a peak.)
Then how about Richard Clayderman?
- You mean "Ballade Pour Adeline"? - Yes.
("Ballade Pour Adeline,")
(composed by Paul de Senneville in 1976...)
(and played by Richard Clayderman)
- Yes, please play it for me. - Oh, well.
I don't remember well.
(He's like a human jukebox.)
(He's already deeply immersed.)
- Is this it? - Yes, this is it.
(This is it.)
I can't help it, but I feel like cutting a steak.
I know, right?
You're quietly cutting a steak.
(Cutting an imaginary steak)
(Nom nom)
(Singing gibberish)
Back in the days,
western restaurants used to play this a lot.
When I went to western restaurants,
I heard this song thousands of times.
- It's been a while. Dong Hwan. - Yes.
(Hugging)
- I'm so happy to know you. - Thank you.
Nothing seems impossible for you.
Would you prefer something sentimental...
or something energetic...
and powerful like rock music?
It's got both soft and powerful parts.
We might be able to make different types of music.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
If I'm being honest, my drumbeat is not meant for...
a musically fulfilling song.
No, that's not true.
We can make such a song.
Stop lying to me.
I want you to trust me.
Something musical...
can be made within your beat.
- See? He said it's possible. - Then could you show me a little?
Don't you feel like he's going on about a pyramid scheme?
I'll try and summon a virtual orchestra.
(Summoning a virtual orchestra)
He's good at this stuff.
(As expected)
The intro goes like this.
(When the eye-watering sophisticated intro ends...)
After that,
your beat will follow.
(Beautiful orchestral music starts to play...)
(over Jae Seok's beat.)
(Startled)
Gosh, how could it fit in this?
It perfectly fits in.
(Making something musical was really possible.)
(He jumped to his feet without realizing.)
(Dong Hwan's amazing home-based orchestra)
Something like this.
Gosh, you're such a genius.
Hey, Dong Hwan, seriously.
You should get a bigger studio.
This is too small to hold your great potential.
I just moved here.
He said he just moved in.
- Is that so? - Yes, I did.
- Sorry, I was too worked up. - Yes, a little.
Gosh, but still...
you're amazing, Dong Hwan.
It's got so many possibilities.
Look at how he stares at him.
- He turned into a fanatic. - Dong Hwan's awesome.
At this rate,
you're soon going to pay tithes to him.
We should consider musicality...
as well as popularity.
I have been actually...
- quite discouraged about my beat. - I see.
But you're giving me so much confidence.
He helped me to regain my confidence.
Dong Hwan is a savior to you, right?
Only Dong Hwan can save me.
- Anyway, Dong Hwan. - Yes.
Go ahead and do your work.
(As you wish.)
Look at that.
That actually looks like ants moving around.
(Mumbling to himself)
(Bursting into laughter)
That's the sound I heard.
- You're so funny. - That's what I heard.
- Rub-a-dum, rub-a-dum. - Clatter, clatter.
Honestly, I had no idea.
(He's filling the sound just like chickens pecking at their food.)
That's his way of working.
- He's listening to it. - He's wearing a headphone.
Since he can't hear,
he wouldn't know how ridiculous he looks.
- He's like a professional gamer. - Since he wears it.
I can't hear what he plays, so I wonder how it's like.
(Staring blankly)
- It's getting closer to the trend. - Oh, you think?
- Is it done? - Yes.
- Is it a lot closer to the trend? - Yes, a lot closer.
How many meters apart from the trend is it?
- About 0.4m. - 0.4m?
- Then it's right in front of it. - Yes.
(How has it gotten closer to the trend?)
(Listening attentively)
(Dong Hwan's piano combines with...)
(Jae Seok's drumbeat.)
(And it creates a magical melody.)
(Focused)
(The empty space between the beats is slowly filled with others.)
(On silent mode)
(Grooving)
(It seems like an up-tempo song)
(He stares around, but he still can't hear it.)
(A genius pianist,)
(a genius guitarist,)
(a so-called genius drummer,)
(and a genius vocalist work together.)
(And their collaboration is turning into an exceptional piece of music.)
(No one would believe it all started from Jae Seok's drumbeat.)
- It's now 0.1m closer. - Is it a bit closer?
- Do you mean, closer to the trend? - Really?
- It's done only with a few touches? - Yes.
I'll take a step forward.
When I listen to it later,
I will not tolerate it if it's more messed up.
I'll come find you.
It's become very beautiful.
- Really? - Trust me.
I just can't wait.
(To get a step closer to the trend,)
(he's playing the keyboard with his powerful fingers.)
(Rattling)
(This is what the public really wants.)
(The studio is silently filled with his creative soul.)
(Striking the keys)
(Hitting)
(Is the public liking it?)
It says, "Is the public liking it?"
- It's getting a little away. - How so?
It sounds like drawers opening and closing.
- Dong Hwan, what happened? - It's become...
a little complicated.
(Please make it easier...)
(for the public like myself.)
(Playing the keyboard)
This is it!
(He gently adds a bright and cheerful melody.)
(Perfect)
(The beat has finally transformed into a complete piece of music.)
He added something like pizzicato.
- I see. - He added pizzicato strings.
- Did you say pizzicato? - Yes.
You know, plucking the strings.
- Plucking the strings with fingers. - Instead of bowing the strings.
(Pizzicato is a method of playing where the strings are plucked.)
We should get closer. We're only 0.1m away.
It slightly went backward.
(However...)
I got it!
(He has no idea what's happening.)
Why are you stomping your feet?
He thinks he's stomping his feet.
He's just using a pedal.
Now it's closer again.
- Is it closer again? - It's closer again.
He's a bit shady.
- You're either a genius or a con. - That's right.
- Is it a lot closer at the moment? - Yes.
But today, I have gained...
some confidence in my beat.
My drumbeat has the possibility...
of turning into a great song.
All right, Dong Hwan. Keep up the good work.
- Give it some finishing touches. - Okay.
- While we're saying goodbye, - Yes.
can you play a nice song?
Do you want me to play something sad...
or something bright?
Should I make you feel both?
I'd love to. This is why I like you.
- You make everything possible. - Of course.
- You never say no. - That's true.
- It's really dark at first. - It's dark.
- He provides an excellent service. - I know.
(A farewell song dedicated to the musical prodigy)
So he's trying to express...
the first impression of my drumbeat.
And the impression has changed.
(The fill-ins make him sink deep into despair.)
And now I see the light.
(Lee Juck brings light and hope to the second movement.)
He's so witty.
Here it goes.
(From the wasteland of melody to where the guitar sound leads us.)
Now that I found the light.
(The third movement is about the joy of meeting Sunwoo Jung A's voice.)
(A joyful moment where Jae Seok's lousy beat becomes art)
(He's also great at expressing two contrasting vibes.)
(Amazed)
The last part is full of joy.
(Full of joy)
(In the four movements, he becomes one with the piano.)
(He feels thrilled as it gets closer to the public.)
(And his heart flutters as it's closer to completion.)
(Thanks to this pleasant song, Jae Seok leaves with light steps.)
- Amazing. - He's totally into him.
(Goodbye, my Ringo Starr)
Dong Hwan is really a nice guy.
- He did everything for him. - He's such a good guy.
- Dong Hwan is amazing. - He's really kind.
I think you'll take him around from now on.
Now your favorite musician is...
He's the best.
I love Dong Hwan.
I'll call you when I get an inspiration.
- Anytime. - Okay.
- See you then. - He looked really sad earlier.
(Yuplash: Yu Jae Seok, Lee Juck,)
(Sunwoo Jung A, and Jeong Dong Hwan's version)
What's most important is that this kind of music can be...
changed into different styles depending on who sings it.
- So my dear friend, Paul Kim... - Paul Kim?
will be the next person. And I've also been thinking...
of asking a favor of Bassist Lee Tae Yoon,
who plays the bass guitar...
in Cho Yong Pil and the Great Birth.
(Cho Yong Pil's 15th album)
(The bassist of Cho Yong Pil and the Great Birth)
(A living witness in Korea's bassist history)
(The legend bassist of all times)
(Bassist Lee Tae Yoon)
I've met him once at the studio.
But I don't think he remembers me.
So I'd like to say hello again on this occasion.
He's been working in the music field for twice as long as I have.
As a senior musician who has studied and played music for a long time,
I wonder how he interprets it.
I will carefully write down the comments on a notepad...
and send it to you.
It's been a great pleasure. Thank you.
(Thank you, Yuplash.)
(On the other hand, Jae Seok's beat is being used for an intro.)
(Various artists work on Music Relay Challenge.)
(Music Relay Challenge feat. Genius Drummer)
(It's been expanding into many different types of songs.)
(Next up is the hottest hip-hop musician, Gray.)
(Jae Seok is all pumped up with hip-hop beats.)
(Next is hip-hop?)
I might need to get rid of your drum beat.
(What will Gray's version be like?)
(Is it better without his beat?)
(Bassist Lee Tae Yoon of Cho Yong Pil and the Great Birth)
(Shouting)
Oh, my gosh.
(What brings you here?)
(Can I come in?)
(I heard a rookie singer was coming.)
(A rookie singer?)
In the deep silent night
(He's a genius, indeed.)
- Did you say I'm a genius? - Yes.
(Coming soon)
