(COVID-19 strikes performances too.)
(Many shows were canceled.)
(So we arranged the Room Concert.)
(Lee Seung Hwan, rock)
(HYUKOH, rock)
(JANNABI, rock)
(Sunwoo Jung A and Se So Neon, rock)
(Jang Beom June, folk)
(ZICO, hip-hop)
(AOMG, hip-hop)

(A special comeback performance...)
(by Song Ga In and Yu San Seul, "Bus Stop of Parting".)
(And Slanted Snail as well!)
(You can watch all of these performances...)
(in your living room with the Room Concert.)
Let's get started. Stand by.
Let's do it.
Cue.
Hello, viewers.
We bring touching performances into your living room.
Hangout with Yoo prepared a very special concert for you.
I'm your host for the Room Concert, Yu Jae Seok.
I'm here today with three men who became...
my newest comfort dolls.
Wait, what?
You're my comfort doll.
I have a few comfort dolls in the world of entertainment.
Yeol, Juck, and Min, please greet our viewers.
Hello, I'm Yeol, his comfort doll.
- It's nice to be here. - It's nice to have you.
And Professor Kim.
He's a very prestigious man in the world of pianists.
You suddenly made me do this.
(Jae Seok's 2nd comfort doll is too shy to introduce himself.)
(Why are you sweating so much?)
(Feeling shy)
I somehow ended up coming to the Room Concert.
I'm Kim Kwang Min.
(His oldest comfort doll is the shiest of them all.)
Yes, hello. I'm the youngest, Juck.
Recently, I feel like I've been spending...
quite a lot of time with you guys...
ever since I started doing Hangout with Yoo.
I kept wondering if I should really be coming here.
Juck and Hui Yeol are veterans...
when it comes to music, so of course, you should be here.
I'm not sure if I can be a part of this.
- Of course, you can. - He hosted "Wednesday Art Stage"...
- for 14 years... - Yes, of course.
which makes him the longest host ever.
You're a big name in the music industry.
He hosted "Wednesday Art Stage" for 14 years.
- And "Sketchbook". - You hosted "Sketchbook".
- You did it for 11 years. - Yes.
- I worked with S network. - You're right.
I hosted a program called "Lee Juck's Music Space".
(He also has hosted a music show before.)
- You're right. - I did it for eight long months.
You've all hosted music programs before.
- We all did. - You've done it for long...
- and are still doing it. - Of course.
We ask for your understanding...
because we had to put together the Room Concert...
in a short period of time.
Many concerts are suddenly getting canceled...
and postponed due to COVID-19.
- There are a lot of those. - That's why...
we wanted to comfort and show our support...
for the artists who have prepared their performances for a long time,
as well as for our viewers who grew weary from the circumstances...
by preparing this concert which you can enjoy...
in the first row of your living room.
Anyway, where are we?
You're probably dying to know where we are right now.
- It's a stage of a dream... - Yes.
for all artists.
Then let us uncase the stage for the Room Concert!
This is Korea's center of performances,
we're at Sejong Grand Theater, Sejong Center.
(It's a place where culture and arts are brought alive.)
(It's the biggest arts and culture space in Korea...)
(where the best artists provide the best performances.)
(Room Concert is held in Sejong Center, the stage of dreams.)
- It's so cool. - It is really cool.
It's beautiful.
- Goodness. - It goes up to the third floor.
It's a shame that we must perform...
with empty seats today...
- against our will. - You're right.
- It's a shame. - It sure is.
Many high-class concerts are usually held here,
and it's a very renowned concert hall.
It's amazing.
- But today... - Gosh, Jae Seok, you made it big.
Why?
- You've been to Seoul Arts Center. - Yes.
And you're now standing in Sejong Center too.
Will he perform at Carnegie Hall next?
If he does that, then it's game over.
I usually don't say anything like this, but it's for this show.
- Watch your mouth. - Why?
- Don't say anything foolish. - People usually...
- Just host the show. - That's usually the next step.
Just do your thing and leave, Yeol and Juck.
I have a feeling that you three will be standing...
in Carnegie Hall very soon.
- Min, please watch your mouth too. - I have a feeling...
- Watch your mouth. - At the hall...
- Watch it. - A mini concert.
You might end up holding a mini concert.
All right, many artists are here with us to perform,
and we should get started now.
As a means to prevent the COVID-19 virus from spreading,
the City of Seoul is holding a social distancing campaign...
for two weeks, calling out for a social pause.
So they joined us in what we're doing...
- and gave us a hand. - Exactly, very much.
Here's another unique thing about today's concert.
We wanted to do this with the viewers in front of the TV,
so all the artists will perform today...
- with the seats behind them. - I see.
I've seen countless numbers of concerts,
but there has never been a stage like this.
- This stage setting is a first. - There never was one.
- And look over there. - There's something on the seats.
- Yes. - Those are...
- the thing that Hui Yeol named. - Jjambong.
- Those are that? - Jjambong.
(Yu Rin Gi named the light stick...)
(as Jjambong.)
(The fancy Jjambong lights filled up his concert.)
- Jjambong. - Yes, they're all there.
- Let's take a look. - Can they get lit up?
Come on, Jjambongs.
It's as if they're clapping.
(The Jjambongs in the seat give a standing ovation for the opening.)
- It looks like they're clapping. - It does.
(Colorful)
This is high-tech.
Although you aren't here with us,
we'll consider that your heart is here with us...
as we perform today.
We can say that the Room Concert began...
thanks to Professor Kim...
- and Son Yeol Eum. - You're right.
(Everyone showed their love in the last Yuchestra episode...)
(for their piano recital held on TV.)
Many people said it was comforting and therapeutic...
to hear your performances on TV.
That's why we asked Professor Kim...
- to play a certain song ahead. - What did you ask him for?
- Which song is it? - We had a discussion with him,
and decided to go with the theme of "Love Affair".
When we asked him to do that,
he promised to play that for us today.
- Gosh, this is bad. - Why?
I'm really nervous.
You are? But you practiced, right?
I practiced a little, but this is bad.
All right, then. This is the first performance...
of the Room Concert by Professor Kim, "Love Affair".
Let's give him a big hand.
(You can do it, Min.)
(The stage spins around and brings in the piano.)
(He calms down his racing heart and sits in front of the piano.)
(Room Concert)
("Love Affair" written by Ennio Morricone,)
(performed by Kim Kwang Min)
(The beautiful piano sound resonates in the empty seats.)
(He gave the same performance here 25 years ago.)
(He performs for many people who are watching from somewhere...)
(to give them his support with the piano melody.)
(Kwang Min is the only one for me.)
(Bravo)
That was our host, Min.
Please give him another big hand.
We started the concert off with my favorite, "Love Affair".
The same thing goes for Juck and Yeol,
but you all look the coolest in front of the piano.
(They're musicians who made it big with their talent, not their looks.)
(They create an optical illusion and look cool in front of the piano.)
- The moment you stand up... - Everything is over?
(The illusion disappears when they stop playing.)
We'll now really get started with the Room Concert.
Although we're performing in front of empty seats,
but we'll imagine that you're sending us...
your cheer and support as we get started...
- with the concert. - Sounds great.
(Room Concert)
(The etiquette for Room Concert)
(Feel free to use your phones to take pictures or make calls!)
(Watch the concert in the most comfortable position!)
(It's okay to sing with your friends too.)
(Enjoy the concert.)
The first performer is...
an artist you're reminded of immediately...
when you hear the words "cherry blossom".
The cherry blossom zombie. The best performer!
His genre is simply his name.
It's a performance by Jang Beom June.
Give him a big hand!
(The performance begins now!)
You know, your recent song.
(I smelled your shampoo scent)
(In the middle of swaying flowers)
I love that song.
So far, I've sung that song only at the concert.
- That's right. - So I was really excited for it...
and getting ready...
But all the events were canceled.
Right. When they were canceled, I was disappointed.
(It's time for him to ease that disappointment.)
(As the stage at the venue rotates...)
My gosh, the stage can change right away.
(he's getting closer to the audience in their rooms.)
It looks as if he prepared a lot.
(The light on the stage comes on.)
- They used the empty space on it. - Right.
(A corner is set aside to deliver how touching it is in person.)
Here comes Beom June on the stage.
(Awesome Beom June)
(Audience in the rooms, are you all ready?)
(Room Concert)
("Your Shampoo Scent In The Flowers" by Jang Beom June)
Hello, everyone.
(Hello, audience of Room Concert!)
(Bass guitar by Hwang In Hyun, drums by Lee Kyu Hyung,)
(keyboard by Jun Young Ho)
Awesome Beom June!
Jang Beom June!
Everyone, sing it!
(When I'm walking, I always look at you)
(Should I tell you that I'm thinking about you?)
(Join us from your rooms too!)
(Hangout with Yoo)
(We may be in different spaces,)
(but we're enjoying this moment in one voice.)
(I want to see you this evening on this street with flowers)
(8 rows in the 1st floor)
(5 rows in the 3rd floor)
(And everyone in the audience)
(We hope there comes a day when everyone can join in.)
(Should I say I called you because I was missing you?)
- Encore! - Say it with us.
- Encore! - Say it with us from your home.
- Encore! - Encore!
Can I keep singing?
That was great.
(A beautiful melody of the guitar pleases our ears.)
Which song is this?
Could it be...
(Hey, you)
- Spring is here. - It's the song.
(Hey, you)
(Room Concert)
("Cherry Blossom Ending" by Jang Beom June)
Everyone, sing it.
(Oh, yes)
Everyone, sing it.
(When the spring breeze blows away)
(The cherry blossom leaves flutter away)
(Let the two of us walk on this street)
(That will be filled with cherry blossom leaves)
(Let the two of us walk)
(The melody of the melodeon signals the coming of spring.)
(The Sejong Grand Theater is tinged with pink.)
Everyone!
(When the spring breeze blows away)
(The cherry blossom leaves flutter away)
(Let the two of us walk on this street)
(That will be filled with cherry blossom leaves)
(A voice of spring visits the rooms.)
(The cherry blossom leaves are fluttering all the way to the room.)
(Are you feeling the spring in your rooms?)
Everyone, clap.
Everyone, join me.
(I see a lot of couples in love)
(I see friends I don't recognize)
(I see a lot of fluttering cherry blossom leaves which are great)
Everyone, sing it!
(Right now, the auditorium is empty.)
(As we wait for the day when it will be filled with beautiful voices,)
(let us enjoy spring briefly in our rooms.)
Last one. Everyone, sing it!
Oh, yes. Thank you!
He's performing as if it's a real concert.
(When the cherry blossoms are in bloom, let us meet again.)
- That was amazing. - Like Jae Seok said earlier,
when I listened to this song,
- winter is gone. Spring is here. - It's spring.
It certainly is spring now.
When I hear the melodeon, I know it's spring.
- What is it? - I love that song.
When I was scattering the petals, he got excited in the end.
- I was jumping like this. - Yes.
(The excitement of spring hasn't vanished yet.)
He's still excited.
In the beginning, we looked like executives at a company.
We looked like serious executives. But toward the end,
you looked so innocent. There were a few clips of that.
- I shared my passion. - We have to do this nowadays.
- Beom June. It was great. - Yes?
- The song was amazing. - Beom June.
- You were so cool. - You were the best.
Really? Thank you.
- Your performance was superb. - Really?
Let's take a seat here.
(They'll interview him in their seats.)
Beom June, your performance was truly amazing.
When I was performing...
I hadn't performed in a while, so I was happy.
When you shouted, "Everyone, sing it!"
I became a bit emotional.
It's something I had practiced for my gigs.
Really? I loved it.
- I practiced a lot. - It was great.
Beom June, please introduce yourself to our audience.
You haven't even introduced yourself yet.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to sing here.
I'm Jang Beom June, Jo Ah's dad.
- Give him a big hand. - Thank you.
I'm also Ha Da's dad.
It feels like spring doesn't begin until you sing...
"Cherry Blossom Ending".
Thank you.
- You're the messenger of spring. - Thank you.
He is a singer who reminds you of youth.
Also, you know that the word "youth" has the meaning of spring in it...
You're an apostle of spring.
Beom June...
Beom June, spring is usually your busiest season.
But because of the recent social distancing campaign,
many concerts and events have been canceled.
That's right.
Everything from February to April has been canceled.
Jinhae Gunhangje Festival is a symbolic event,
- That's right. - but it's canceled.
I was going to perform instead of releasing a new album,
but everything is canceled.
- Jinhae Gunhangje Festival... - In addition to that,
I had prepared a concert...
in Yeouido, Seoul.
I'd been talking about it since last year.
(He is disappointed that he can't enjoy spring with his fans.)
Beom June, you should feel threatened.
Rumors have been going around among the singers.
Apparently, a spring song that matches...
your "Cherry Blossom Ending" will be released soon.
- Which song is that? - It's been the talk of the town.
It's a duet song.
The singers are incredible.
Song Ga In...
and Yu San Seul.
(Oh...)
Are you going to sing a spring song?
- I'm not Yu San Seul today. - But...
Speaking on behalf of him, it's turned into a spring song now.
- Because of the lyrics? - Because of the lyrics.
They're determined...
to beat "Cherry Blossom Ending".
I'm satisfied with what I've achieved so far.
- You've already achieved a lot. - Yes.
So I'm okay.
It'd be an honor.
Beom June often covers other singers' songs.
Every time he does,
- It attracts so many views. - it attracts so many views.
(His cover song attracted more than three million views.)
(He covers songs from all genres and receives a lot of love.)
Is there any song you are interested in...
and want to cover these days?
He prepared the theme song of "Frozen 2".
- I'll give it a try. - Into the unknown...
- That song? - Yes.
Yes, but I'll sing it in Korean.
- Really? - Sure.
It's going to be fun.
Let's hear it.
I want the guitar to be loud.
- The guitar... - I'll do this.
You're making me feel uncomfortable.
Why would you feel uncomfortable?
It feels like I'm recording the song.
(He digs into his mic instead of the hidden world like a mole.)
Everyone! Into the unknown
(Into the unknown)
(Queen Beom June and Juck-laf sing in harmony.)
(He stops singing.)
I think I should stop.
You did a good job.
- Good job. - I loved it.
It was great.
Beom June, before you leave,
please say something to our audience.
I feel honored to be the first guest of the first concert.
That's what I was going to say.
But I just want to thank you for having me.
Why...
I wanted to be on this show without any special reason.
It makes me so happy to see you all once in a while.
I'll be back soon. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Please give Beom Jun a big hand.
Thank you.
(See you again.)
(Room Concert)
("Karaoke" by Jang Beom June)
Everyone!
(Crying)
Everyone!
(Singing)
(Bye-bye)
(The apostle of spring brings spring to every room.)
(I wish moments with you would pass slowly)
("Every Moment with You" by Jang Beom June)
(Room Concert)
You can look forward to the next performance as well.
It'll make the older generations feel nostalgic.
It consists of ABBA's songs.
It's the musical, "Mamma Mia!"
I'm not sure if this is true,
but I heard that Jae Seok is going to participate in the musical.
- I... - Is that true?
I apparently am.
My acting skills...
You're going to do a musical?
As you know, I'm not a good actor at all.
- Are you going to do musicals now? - No, that's not it.
It'll be Jae Seok's debut as a musical actor.
I'd rather you didn't look at it that way.
In a couple of months,
- you'll be doing a musical. - Never.
Will you be playing Mamma or Mia?
- Be quiet. - I want him to play Mia.
An idea just came to my mind.
There's a musical Yoon Do Hyun once did.
- It's called "Hedwig". - "Hedwig"?
You might be doing that.
I can see that you two think this is fun.
- You could be called Yusical. - Yusical.
- Please be quiet. - Yusical.
Please be quiet, you two.
(ABBA took the whole world by storm from the 1970s to the '80s.)
(ABBA is a Swedish 4-piece co-ed pop group.)
(Among ABBA's masterpieces,)
(this jukebox musical features 23 songs.)
(It achieved great success both in the West End and on Broadway.)
(The familiar songs have helped the show become popular.)
("Mamma Mia!" Attracts 2 Million Viewers)
(All Generations Fall in Love)
(The musical turns the older generations into musical fans.)
(The cast of the Korean "Mamma Mia!" are invited to Room Concert.)
(Because of social distancing,)
(she watches "World Theme Travel" instead of traveling.)
(On top of traveling around the world,)
(Donna is going to sing her solo, "The Winner Takes It All".)
(Jae Seok is going to play opposite her as Sam.)
(Sophie said... you will walk her down the aisle.)
(Sophie said you will... walk her down the aisle.)
(Sophie said you will walk her... down the aisle.)
(Even though he struggled with his first line,)
(his new alter ego as a musical actor begins to awaken.)
(He slowly gets into the mood.)
Sophie said you will walk her down the aisle.
Sophie wants to walk down the aisle with her dad.
She wants her dad to come to her wedding.
Her dad might want that too.
She wants her dad to come to her wedding.
Her dad might want that too.
Donna!
Sophie said you will walk her down the aisle.
I mean...
- Here he comes. - I can't do this.
- You even played the harp. - I'm sure you'll do great.
The harp...
Listen to the lyrics and bring out your emotions.
I mean...
Just try to speak loudly.
"Just try to speak loudly"?
Where did you travel last week?
I visited Slovakia last week.
Slovakia?
- You visited Slovakia last week? - Yes, I did.
- You visited Slovakia. - Yes.
EBS's "World Theme Travel" got in touch with me.
They said they enjoyed Hangout with Yoo very much.
"World Theme Travel" said that.
Will you be going on a trip with them?
- I think I should. - Right.
You might appear on "World Theme Travel" soon.
(They'll have to share their fun travel stories a bit later.)
Let's do this.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
All right, let's get started.
Donna!
Sam, can we please talk later?
Donna.
(He casually walks in.)
Sophie said you will walk her down the aisle.
That's right. I will do it. Who else will?
- He is better than I expected. - He's pretty good.
Sophie...
wants to walk down the aisle with her dad.
She wants her dad...
What was the line?
She wants her dad to come to her wedding.
Her dad might want that too.
Don't do this, Sam. I don't want to hear this.
Hear me out, Donna. This is our story.
(After he shows off the musical actor's vocalization,)
(Donna's solo song begins.)
(He needs to act without a word for about 4 minutes.)
He needs to keep standing there...
- Over there... - in an emotional state.
(He stares at Donna.)
(He gets ready to become emotional.)
(I need to have sad thoughts.)
Does it feel the same
(Other actors need time to get used to his facial expressions.)
(Closing his eyes shut)
(You should leave now!)
(He safely practices exiting the stage.)
(Thumbs up.)
(His seniors praise him.)
What about her dad?
I was so surprised. I got goosebumps.
- I didn't get goosebumps. - Right?
- No, he did an amazing job. - It was too much.
I can tell that you travel a lot.
I will make sure I don't make a mistake.
- Seriously. - Good luck.
(A quick summary of "Mamma Mia!")
(A soon-to-be bride, Sophie, and her mom, Donna, live together.)

(But a belated realization only leaves regrets.)
(Donna and Yu Sam will recreate this heartbreaking scene.)
(She can act out any character with ease.)
(She has an incredible voice that hits the ceiling.)
(Her charisma gave her the nickname "The Great Shin Young Sook".)
(The actress who doesn't disappoint, Shin Young Sook will play Donna.)
(Then there is one more person.)
(Today's cast)
(Yu Jae Seok as Sam)
I guess he's really doing a part.
He is in every field.
He will soon debut in the musical scene.
Sophie said you will walk her down the aisle.

That's right. I will do it. Who else will?
- What about her dad? - Her dad isn't here.
Sophie wants to walk down the aisle with her dad.
She wants her dad to come to her wedding.
Her dad might want that too.
Don't do this, Sam. I don't want to hear this.
Hear me out, Donna. This is our story.

("The Winner Takes It All" by Shin Young Sook)
How cool!
About the things we've gone through
(Though it's hurting me, now it's history)
(I've played all my cards)
(And that's what you've done too)
(The winner takes it all)
(The loser standing small)
(I thought you were my everything)
(I thought you would always protect me)
(I thought you would give me happiness)
(But I was mistaken)
(The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice)

(Do you know about my loneliness?)
(It would be too greedy of me to want you)
(His hand is in the air.)
(They found something they can tease him about.)
(His hand falls helplessly.)
(The emotions become heightened.)
His facial expressions are the same.
It's like his face has been copied and pasted.
(Sadness, frustration, remorse, disappointment,)
(heartache, reluctance, bitterness, and agony)
(He moves his hands in the same way as before.)
He is using the same set of facial expressions.
(The winner)
(Takes it all)
She can sing incredibly well.
(Being a lover or a friend)
(It's the winner who makes the decision)
He walked away like a robot.
(The winner takes it all)
(She holds back her emotions...)
(and exits perfectly.)
Brava!
("Mamma Mia!" will continue in Part 2.)
She is really good.
(Hangout with Yoo)
"Mamma Mia!" will begin in earnest now.
All songs by ABBA are masterpieces.
- They certainly are masterpieces. - Yes.
Anyone around the world would like their songs.
- Children and adults. - That's right.
Let's check out the performance now.
Please welcome "Dancing Queen" with a round of applause.
(Watch the world-class musical from the 1st row at home.)

(Getting in the swing, you come to look for a king)

(With a bit of rock music, everything is fine)
- Gosh. You look like dried squid. - That's the dance.
(And when you get the chance)
(You are the dancing queen)
(Young and sweet, only 17)
(Dancing queen)
(Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yes)
(You can dance, you can jive)
(Having the time of your life)
(Remember, you're truly the best dancing queen)
(The best dancing queen)
This is so fun.
(Remember, you're truly the best dancing queen)
That's so cool.
(That was amazing!)
- That was cool. - It was so good.
- This is so fun. - That was amazing.
Let's give a big round of applause for the performers.
- It was great. - Well done!
Wherever the audience was when they were watching this,
I'm sure it was hard to hold back their excitement.
- This puts me in a great mood. - Truly.
- It makes me happy. - This is the best. Well, I...
You didn't sound sincere at all.
- No. Over there... I can't dance. - You mean it, right?
- But I danced over there. - That's true.
Everyone in the performing industry is having a tough time these days.
A lot of musical shows were canceled because of the outbreak.
And many shows were postponed. How are you holding up?
Our show was supposed to start in March.
But it has been suspended.
The majority of the show business is undergoing a hard time.
So in the midst of this struggle,
we are very grateful that we were invited for a great cause like this.
No, we are grateful to you.
To be honest, we don't have work. So everyone came with a phone call.
So I would like to take this chance...
to give a round of applause to the ensemble cast. Thank you.
- Thank you. - They filled up the stage.
Everyone in Korea including ourselves is having a hard time.
I hope we were able to spread...
good energy to people all over the place.
Jae Seok put on a performance earlier.
Can you evaluate his performance?
- Don't. Don't bring it up. - I'd like to hear that.
I bet it was hard for you to get into your role, Shin Young Sook.
It took her a long time to prepare for that.
My gosh, it was so hard for me to get into my role.
I was very nervous up until the rehearsal.
But Jae Seok pulled off his role flawlessly.
He made it possible for me to fully get into my role. I daresay...
he may be a genius actor.
(I see.)
He's a genius actor as well?
(How about another alter ego as an actor?)
Seriously consider performing as a musical actor.
Here's why. His diction is very clear.
It might be because his mouth is protruding. Words come out well.
The lines in the scene weren't easy.
- It's a hard task. - It's not easy to deliver them.
- Would you like to try? - What are the lines?
- Hui Yeol, the scene on the stage. - The scene Jae Seok did?
MC Min is waiting too.
- Me? - Yes.
- All of a sudden? This is bad. - Then...
I must take it seriously.
- I must get into the role. - That's right.
- I'll use method acting. - My gosh.
- I'll get started now. - Pretend you're Sam.
- I'm Pierce Brosnan. - Great.
(He's the one who played Sam in "Mamma Mia".)
(I'm an actor.)
(I'm Sam.)
(Panting)
(Struggling to take his steps)
- Donna. - Sam, please. Not now.
Sophie said...
(Awkward intonation)
(Laughing)
Why are you doing a comedy skit here?
- My gosh. Just now... - Why are you doing that?
I thought he was impersonating Shim Hyung Rae.
- "Sophie said..." - It was like that old comedy show.
Why don't you give it a shot, MC Min?
- My gosh. I'm in trouble. - Can you try it?
- I think he'll be the best at it. - You can start.
(Waddling)
Donna.
Sam, please. Not now.
Sophie said you will walk her down the aisle.
100 points.
Thank you.
- That had a nice feel to it. - His pronunciation was perfect.
- 100 points. - Because he studied abroad...
After watching their performance today,
I'm sad to say goodbye here.
- Of course. - If it's not too much to ask...
I'm sure you have your favorite musical number.
Right.
This show ended just recently.
There's a horror musical called "Rebecca".
(It's a musical, full of romance, twists, and suspense.)
(Shin Young Sook played Mrs. Danvers 5 times consecutively.)
(Room Concert)
("Act 2 of Rebecca" by Shin Young Sook)
(Rebecca, wherever you are)
(Amazed)
(I can hear the unstoppable heartbeat)
(Her notes are accurate even when there's no accompaniment.)
(The wind is howling the song)
(Her charisma alone dominates...)
(the vibe in the Sejong Grand Theater.)
(My Rebecca)
(Impressed)
(Hurry and come back to Manderley)
(Rebecca)
(Shin Young Sook totally crushed the performance.)
- That was amazing. - She sang without music.
- She just sang it live without it. - It's such an amazing performance.
- This is amazing. - Yes.
Didn't the last line sound like this?
"Aren't I great at singing?"
My goodness, Hui Yeol.
- It pierced my heart. - Seriously.
- Yes. It touched your heart, right? - I'd love to watch their show.
Anyway, we will wait for the day...
when we'll be able to witness this energy on stage.
Hong Ji Min, Shin Young Sook,
Park Joon Myeon, and 19 performers...
in the ensemble cast of "Mamma Mia!".
Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Well done.

All right. The next performer is "Chart Eater".
Like the nickname, this performer sweeps the charts.
Can you introduce this performer with the piano?
- I can do it. - Really?
Well, this song is very popular.
MC Min will play the piano to introduce the performer.
- He'll play the song with a piano? - Yes.
- He'll play on his feet. - Yes.
(Wait, this song is...)
(Tapping)
(MC Min's introduction with a cheerful melody...)
(calls for dance right away.)
("Any Song" topped all the charts.)
(His dance challenge made everyone in Korea dance.)

(A cheerful rhythm and a fun dance routine)
(This dance challenge brought a new culture for entertainment.)
(Sneaking in)
ZICO!
ZICO.
ZICO, this is a present for you.
- Thank you. - I bought it at the flower market.
- From the flower market? - Yes. Let's sit.
Why aren't you on music programs like "Show! Music Core"?
- On TV shows? - Yes.
Your song got ranked first even without your performance.
Actually, I was preparing to have a concert.
- I see. - So...
All the concerts got canceled.
I prepared so hard for it.
So we're having something called the Room Concert.
- Actually... - Room Concert?
We wanted to comfort the people who were disappointed...
because the concerts got canceled...
by putting on the concert for them to watch from home.
That's why we're planning this concert.
- What do you think? - It sounds great.
It sounds great, right? So are you in?
Is Yu San Seul going to be there too?
- Is Yu San Seul also in it? - I don't know.
- I'm not sure about him. - I see.
I hope he performs too.
The stage can be overwhelming for such a rookie singer.
(Chuckling)
(Snorting)
(The main ego feels offended on behalf of his alter ago.)
Okay. It's all right. I'm not Yu San Seul after all.
I shouldn't be offended.
- You're right. - Right? Okay.
What about Yugo Starr?
- Sorry? - Yugo Starr.
- He plays the drums in the back. - Him?
- You mean the drummer? - One of your session musicians.
He actually retired.
- He's retired already? - He did. He actually...
- How long did he work then? - After he tried it,
- he realized it wasn't for him. - Really?
So he retired.
ZICO, while we're at it,
please teach me the "Any Song" challenge.
You've been watching it, right?
- Although I know this move, - Right.
- I don't know what's next. - Okay.
- It starts like this. - All right.
- Like this? 1, 2. - 1, 2.
- 1, 2. And? - And brush off your shoulder.
- Left and right. - Left and right.
Next, move like this.
- Move in a circle. - Yes, after looking around,
- lift your shoulder once... - Okay.
- and twice. - Lift it twice.
Next is like, "Gosh, whatever."
- "Gosh, whatever." And... - "Gosh, whatever." And?
I will do this first.
- After I do this, - Okay. 1, 2.
- you go. - Like this?
- Yes, that's right. - Is this right?
That's right.
- Next, we'll play hide and seek. - I know that move.
- You're playing it by yourself. - Okay.
- "Guess where I am". Like this. - Okay.
- That's right. - I see.
- Hide your face this way. - Yes, and then?
"Guess where I am."
- Now, come back. - Come back.
- And turn Bluetooth on. - Okay.
- After turning it on, - After turning it on,
- run and run. - run? That's right.
- Right, right, and spin it. - Right, right, and spin it.
Next is...
(Groove with your fists closed.)
(Grooving and clapping)
- Next, brush your hair. - Okay.
(Brush your hair 3 times.)
That's so cool.
- Brush it. Okay. - 1, 2, and 3.
Okay. I got it.
- Shall we give it a go? - Shall we?
- But this is one step behind. - Jae Seok is a real genius.
No, it's hundreds of steps behind.
- Let's start. - Okay, start.
(Let's start.)
(What's wrong with getting behind?)
(Smooth)
(Impressed)
I go first.
(ZICO goes first.)
(Jae Seok follows.)
Turn it on
Just play any song
Anything exciting
- No, it's this. - After this,
just run.
No, not this. That's right.
- You have my respect, ZICO. - Thank you.
Seriously, I respect you.
(Will ZICO's performance make everyone dance?)
(This stage is solely dedicated to the Room Concert.)
(For his fans who have been waiting for a long time...)
(and the viewers in their rooms, he practices over and over again.)
(How will "Any Song" by ZICO turn out on the stage?)

(Such a clear view enables you to make eye contact with him.)
(Special appearance by MC Min)
Viewers, let's sing along.
Gosh, it's so exciting.
This is the nice part.
- Isn't this part nice? - Let's party!
- Amigo! - How cool is he?
It's totally like samba.
- It looks like samba. - This part is cool too.
Samba!
Hangout with Yoo
ZICO!
(The audience in their rooms also excited.)
- He's cool. - He's really cool, isn't he?
I feel great to see ZICO as I've seen enough of BIGCO.
ZICO is the best CO out of all COs.
(ZICO is the best CO out of all COs.)
You look like a chairman of the Olympic organizing committee.
- That's a rally towel for ZICO. - He looks like...
- the head of the Winter Olympics. - Right.
He's like a chairman of the committee.
And I didn't know he would bring this here.
- From a distance, he feels like... - Isn't he like a committee head?
a senior officer with a tumbler full of fish cake soup.
- It does look like a thermos. - When it's cold.
- ZICO. - Here's ZICO, who rocked the stage.
Here comes ZICO.
- It was really awesome. - Thank you.
Juck said it was as great as the performances...
- at the Grammy Awards. - I mean it.
- Please say hello to the viewers. - Okay.
Hello, I'm ZICO. Great to see you all.
(Great to see you too.)
For his concert that was recently canceled,
- he worked really long and hard. - Right.
It was his solo concert...
- in one and a half years. - That's right.
- That's right. - You must've been disappointed.
Not to mention my fans, all the staff...
and the crew were quite disappointed.
- They should be. - Yes.
I was able to reveal my stage on Hangout with Yoo,
- so I'm really thankful. - It was amazing.
I saw ZICO steal a glance in our direction.
- His eyes met mine. - Yes, we had eye contact.
When his eyes met mine, he gave me a thankful look.
(But he immediately turned back on his way.)
It must've felt a little hollow since there's no audience.
- How was it? Was Jjambong helpful? - Right.
First of all, I've never performed with turning my back to the seats.
- I've never done that before. - You haven't, right?
That was a whole new experience, which is really cool.
- I saw the camera as the audience. - Right, that's the way.
- Then I got used to it. - Yes.
- They'll go wild at home. - That's right.
- Even kids too. - The song is really popular.
Have you ever tried the dance, Kwang Min?
Well, I've only watched it.
- In that case, - Why don't you two try it?
- let's learn the dance together. - Please teach us.
It's a little shame.
We should've done this during its peak.
But now, it's almost dying out.
- It's almost the end. - "Are they learning that now?"
There's no one who hasn't tried this.
- It's the retro style. - We're going retro right now.
- Senior officers always get behind. - He's already...
(The footage of the MCs watching "Any Song" onsite)
(I'm getting pumped up.)
(They enjoy the performance in their own ways.)
We really look like senior officers at the company.
Let's give it a try now.
- Poke your cheeks. - After the music plays.
(The "Any Song" challenge by ZICO, MC Yu, Min, Juck, and Yeol)
Put a smiley face on.
(1, 2, 1, 2)
(These two decide to go their own ways.)
(Struggling)
(Flapping)
(Dance however you want)
- 1, 2, 3. - Now, run!
(I don't wanna think about anything)
(Cracking up)
(Swimming)
What were you two doing?
What were you doing, MC Min?
- I tried hard to catch up. - Did you grab something in the air?
I watched him doing the first move.
It was this move, right?
(Stiff)
(He is throwing clear punches.)
(What's the problem?)
(Laughing)
Good. I heard that you have one more song.
- Yes. - What song is it?
It's from my first full album.
It's the title track of the album, "Human".
I look forward to it.

(Room Concert)
Room Concert to help you enjoy the performances at your home.
Thanks to the City of Seoul,
it's held at Sejong Grand Theater, Sejong Center.
Although there's no audience,
we are with the audience who'll join us on TV.
It's time to introduce the next performer.
The most popular response...
after he was revealed as one of the performers was...
- "Can we watch this for free?" - True.
We guarantee that it's going to be a superb performance.
(I thank you for letting us watch such a great performance for free!)
(I really look forward to it!)
I was really surprised too.
He is the king of live, the deity of performance,
- Who is it? - Do I say his name?
- Yes. - Please introduce him.
His name is...
(One week before Room Concert)
(A gym with different fitness equipment)
(Who is this man treasuring his equipment so cautiously?)
(Looking around)
What is it?
(Focused)
- Hello. Long time no see. - Hello!
(The deity of performance, Lee Seung Hwan)
(A wide range of vocals)
(A diverse music spectrum)
(With a unique and glamorous stage design,)
(he performed more than 1,000 times.)
(The legend of performances, Lee Seung Hwan)
- First of all, here's my present. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Why are you in a fitness center?
It's a facility for my employees.
(Impressed)
For me, I...
(You can mistake this place for a fitness center.)
Why were you cleaning it?
This is really expensive.
- You know! - Of course I know.
- This... - Not many people know.
You use it for the chest exercise.
- Yes. - Please step out a little.
You pull it like you do the chest press.
- Stretch it out further. - Seung Hwan, this...
- This is... - You are very strong! Wait.
- You are like a rock! - No way.
It's rock solid.
This is an art!
- Is this for the back? - It's for your abdominal muscles.
How do you do that?
- On my knees? - On your knees.
- Put your feet up there. - I see.
You pull it up. Yes.
This is amazing.
You can work out here.
- Can I really come some time? - Sure.
(After planning a future workout, they first take their seats.)
Somehow we started talking about exercise.
But I didn't come here to talk about that.
You are the living legend when it comes to performances.
To my lacking drum skills...
I was really touched.
(They first met through "STARMAN")
(Lee Seung Hwan's voice added a story...)
(to Yugo Starr's drums.)
- I was really moved. - I see.
A great song was born thanks to you.
Was it your 30th anniversary last year?
(Lee Seung Hwan celebrated his 30th anniversary last year.)
Congratulations.
- Thank you. - It's really not easy.
You have all kinds of records...
- when it comes to performances. - I do.
You have the longest performance record. How long was that?
It was 9 hours 30 minutes and 30 seconds, with 93 songs.
I was going to try for a new record this year.
- You'll aim for 10 hours? - I'll sing more than 100 songs.
That's why I keep working out.
That's impressive.
But all the concerts are canceled recently.
Your concerts were canceled too, right?
Yes, my concerts in 11 cities were canceled.
My life is centered around concerts.
With all these sudden cancelations,
I think I lost my focus.
I am sure your fans were sad too.
Yes, for my case,
we perform throughout all 12 months in a year.
Such a long break is awkward for both of us.
We really hope to go back to the stage soon.
(I really want to get back to the stage for my fans.)
Have you ever performed in front of no audience?
No. During my early days,
there were nine members on my band, including myself.
We once performed in front of nine people due to a lack of promotion.
You've never performed in front of no audience?
I was hoping maybe you can sing something...
that will give energy to people.
A few weeks ago, on the Independence Movement Day,
I sang this during the memorial event.
- It's a song titled "Superhero". - "Superhero".
(The song "Superhero" was first released in 2007.)
(It was also used as a rescue song in a movie.)
It means in times of hardships,
those who remain strong in their places...
are the true superheroes.
You get the energy from people and give it back.
That's awesome.
I have the experience.
If you need it, I can share my skills with you.
(His ultimate know-hows will be revealed.)

"Superhero" is a song...
- about everyone's potential. - Right.
I'd like to deliver a hopeful message.
- To cheer up small business owners, - Yes.
we can send them delicious food with this money.
- That sounds great. - That's right.
Let's spread hope to everyone.
(You are super heroes.)
(We will not forget you, the heroes of Korea.)
(Fire! Super power)
(We hope this super power transcends time and space...)
(and reaches from your room to every nook and corner of Korea.)
- Gosh. - No less.
(Amazed)
(Hope is boundless.)
(The empty seats can't stop his smile.)
(Jjambong's giving him applause on behalf of everyone.)
(Fire! Super power)
- Your killer blow - Gosh, that's amazing.
He's the king of special effects.
(The infinite potentials)
(That lie deep in your hearts)
(Thanks to "Superhero", the stage is filled with hope.)
- Yes! - Nice.
It feels like it brought me back to life.
That was an amazing performance.
