(Summer mixed-gender dance group debut plan)
(Yu Jae Seok, Lee Hyo Lee, Rain)
(The three members' first meeting)
(Hyo Lee, the forever icon)
(Recruited)
(World star Rain)
(Recruited)
(Yu Jae Seok, Lee Hyo Lee, Rain)
(Tear up the stage)
(The members are still in prime shape.)
(They proved themselves on stage.)
(Can you dance to "Gang"?)
(They slowly unite by dancing each other's dances.)
(The three of us...)
(get along pretty well.)
(They summon a team of younger artists...)
(to ask for advice.)
(It could be refreshing.)
(The advice improves their understanding.)
(They even put on a grand performance together!)
(The dance group's debut inches closer.)
(Summer Mixed-gender Dance Group)
We checked out current dance and rap styles.
Let's just decide that...
we're going to do fun dance songs...
like the mixed-gender groups from the 90s.
The old feel?
I want something cheerful.
What we should do is, we should mix Cool, Buck,
and Uptown together.
- Uptown. And a bit of Deux. - Exactly.
I'd like to listen to a 90s dance song.
Let's watch Deux.
- Deux? - They dressed like them.
Let's watch Deux.
(Deux was a 90s dance fixture.)
(Summoning the dance legends)
- Gosh, this is art. - It is.
They were my idols when I was younger.
(Flashy performances based on new jack swing hip-hop.)
Back then, that move was...
He's a bit like Rain now.
Only Rain can do that.
- He can do that. - Yes.
How cool.
(He perfectly replicated Deux's technique and feel.)
My gosh.
They were unrivaled.
- Do you have the AR to that? - Not a karaoke machine tune.
(His DNA reacts automatically.)
- Dance for us. Do it. - Yes.
Hang on. I'll...
This was the look back then.
- That's right. - Go for it.
- I'm ready. - He's into it.
(What Deux hit will our dance legend perform?)
(Deux's third album's title track "Break Off the Yoke".)
(D.O. composed it and wrote the lyrics.)
(Topped a TV music show for four consecutive weeks)
(Big and powerful dance moves)
(The legend dances to a legend's song.)
(Perfect angles)
- Nice! - "Break Off the Yoke".
(All eyes on him)
(Nodding)
(Rain conquers the beat.)
Watch, Kwang Hee.
This is no joke!
(A perfect reenactment)
(Shivers all over)
The camera! The camera's spinning!
(Breaking off the yoke)
(Powerful)
(A great cover of Deux's dance performance)
- Wow. - How do you know all the moves?
- That's amazing. - No way.
He's just so full of energy.
The ratings spiked.
- Really? - That was so cool.
- How about this, Jae Seok? - What?
JinuSean and Uhm Jung Hwa's song.
- "Tell Me". - Yes, that song.
- That works. - There were rappers...
It has a nice tune too.
It does.
("Tell Me" from JinuSean's first album)
(It was hugely popular as it topped TV music shows.)
(Enchanting female vocals on top of a hip-hop melody)
(The window-wiper dance is the important move!)
Hyo Lee could give that a go.
Go on the stage.
That song could suit Hyo Lee perfectly.
- It's not too hard. - JinuSean.
- Do you know the rap? - I know it well.
I can do it. I grew up listening to it.
Okay, okay. Simon Dominic, go ahead.
(They cast a rapper.)
"Think whatever you want."
The old feel.
Do that.
That's nice. You look the part.
(JinuSean's "Tell Me" by Lee Hyo Lee and Simon Dominic)
(A charming voice with the 90s feel)
(Swaying)
(The rap takes over without a moment's notice.)
(Simon Dominic raps so calmly)
(Hyo Lee pulls off the alluring performance.)
(The wiper dance is a must)
(Pushing)
(Pulling)
(Rapping without a break)
(Sexy seduction)
(Left and right)
(Tell me)
(Hyo Lee bridges the 90s and the present.)
- It suits you well. - Well done.
- How did he manage? - I'm a fan.
Right?
- He didn't even practice. - I memorized it.
I like this song.
How did he manage both of their rap parts?
- I'm hot. - You sang it like it's your song.
- That's easy to sing. - You did great.
You're pretty much in sync.
Everyone here complements each other.
Based on the advice you gave us today,
the three of us will try to create a decent mixed-gender group.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you all.
I'll try to arrange another meeting.
Another one?
(Summer Mixed-gender Dance Group)
(Discussing the group's concept)
(Early June, full of the scent of summer)
(Summer is right around the corner.)
(It's a perfect day to discuss summer and dance!)
(Trainee Jae Seok arrives)
Gosh, it's summer now.
I expected this, but still.
(They'll meet to discuss the concept.)
(Glancing)
(A familiar sight)
Isn't it a bit too early for that?
(Where are Hyo Lee and Rain?)
Where are we anyway?
Gosh, it's so hot.
- He talks to himself too much. - It's so hot outside.
(Standing to greet the seniors)
Hello. You're here.
Isn't it old-fashioned to enter at intervals?
You did it anyway.
I do as I'm told.
- That's your charm. - It is.
You grumble but do as you're told.
Perfect.
Where are we?
Why am I sitting in the sun?
I get my own lighting even here.
The bright lights always surround you.
- Why is that? - Pull up closer.
Move into the shade.
How have you been? You're so busy. Hyo Lee too.
- Hyo Lee. - What?
Last week, Sang Soon sent me...
- He texted you. - He sent a video.
Are you singing at home?
He said Hyo Lee turned weird after her Seoul trip.
(Jeju Hyo Lee sings as she misses being in Seoul.)
(I hoped that)
(It was a lie told by a woman who loved you)
(Drinking alcohol to prepare for the high notes)
(Completely engaged)
(I trusted you!)
(I am addicted)
(I like you, it's a beautiful restraint)
(The only spectators are...)
(her cat and husband Sang Soon.)
(Dance, the finishing touch of a home concert.)
(Dance)
(You're my love)
(Laughing)
(Hyo Lee flexes her loud voice in the midst of quiet Jeju Island.)
I mean, when I returned home after I came to Seoul,
it felt like I opened up the hidden Pandora's box...
- once again. - It's kind of like that.
So who's the real you?
Why did you suddenly upload your lawn mower?
I'm having a serious identity crisis.
I met you, ZICO,
and talked about music.
But when I get on the plane and go home,
Sang Soon would tell me to go mow the lawn,
so I go and do that,
then I clean up my dogs' poop.
My two lives are completely the opposite.
I can see why that's the case.
So who's the real me?
- Exactly. - I have no idea.
You can find out while you do this project.
Having an alter ego is a fad right now,
so think of this as Hyo Lee's alter ego.
- I can do that. - Yes, that's what you should do.
But I thought this is the real you, and the other one is your alter ego.
So who on earth is the real me?
I want to find myself.
Ji Hoon, you seem to be really busy recently.
You suddenly have a lot of work.
I mean, this is...
- Did you aim for this? - Did you aim for this?
- It's a misunderstanding. - What's happening right now?
People have their heydays,
then they're bound to go downhill.
Who do you think you are to come back up?
Don't you feel bad for your juniors?
Are you trying to take over all the work?
By any chance, did I do something wrong?
Who do you think you are?
What... What's going on right now?
Hyo Lee has to start preparing...
at 5am to come to Seoul,
so she's a little...
She told me this drives her insane.
You did something weird after you were banned from doing the C.G.
- Did you see it? What is this? - I remember.
What is this?
(His finger dance caught many people's attention.)
What was this all about?
You need to learn to be still.
It's not like that.
That's the style of that dance. It's popping. Dancers do that.
Do people actually do this?
(The finger is working hard for overseas dancers too.)
Jae Seok, that's just how I freestyle.
- But for a while... - Yes, stop that for a while.
- We're... - Should stop doing that?
- Stop it. - Yes, don't go that way.
Anyway, we've been meeting once a week, right?
It makes me feel excited as if we went back in time.
- Really? - To be honest,
back then, when I'd meet Hyo Lee...
She probably had no idea, but I was really excited...
whenever I got to perform with her.
Back then, Hyo Lee was...
in the hearts of every single man in Korea.
- She was amazing. - Yes.
- She's still like that too. - And she's still the same.
You should've flirted with me.
Why do you say that at this point?
You were a bit too angry for me to flirt with you.
Don't bring up something like that at this point.
I mean, our conversation is pretty wild.
(Hyo Lee is still the same tough cookie in Seoul as before.)
If you and I had dated back then,
you wouldn't be here today.
- He can't. - No way.
- You can't come. - Why not? Why does that matter?
- Really? - I'm very cool.
You do that? Is it okay with you?
I can't do that.
How... How can you work together?
So there were a lot of programs that I couldn't go on.
There were lots of limitations.
Really?
It's my past. What can I do about it?
Yes. In the past... Who's that?
- Hello. - Kwang Hee!
Why are you coming out from there?
(Kwang Hee presented his version of "Gang" last week, on May 30.)
(He made the crowd go wild with his fatal fluttering.)
(He even won against the original artist.)
- Why are you coming out from there? - Hello.
I came here...
to assist you, starting today.
- He must have done some digging. - Jae Seok.
Did you put on something from a luxury brand...
because ZICO came last week wearing one?
I'm wearing G brand! G brand!
(His confidence is flying through the roof.)
My stylist went through a lot of trouble to rent this out.
- Kwang Hee, is that rented? - Yes.
- I'll buy you one. - Really?
- I'll buy you one. - Hyo Lee.
My stylist went to rent this out,
but they refused to let anyone else other than Rain or Hyo Lee take it.
- Goodness. - She cried her eyes out to get it.
- My gosh. - Hey, wait.
Do you have to wear that?
- You don't have to wear that. - You're right.
I don't want to be left behind.
- Left behind by whom? - You really shocked me.
I keep getting behind ZICO...
and many others.
- No. - But do you have to...
- You can put the drinks down. - Exactly.
Anyway, why are you suddenly here?
To do this and that.
I thought I saw you in a skirt, so I brought this.
Goodness. I put this on to show off my legs for once.
- Do I have to cover myself up? - Cover yourself.
If you're going to cover yourself, why would you put on a skirt?
Stop it.
- Why? - He's just helping you out here.
My gosh, what is this? And why are you suddenly here?
You don't have to feel pressured.
- I already read the article. - Which one?
- I saw that you three are doing it. - No.
I'm not expecting...
- to join this project or anything. - Then?
Since I'm the host of "﻿Weekly Idol",
I know a lot of things about idol stars.
So I wanted to tell you about that.
Since you're hosting a show on idol stars right now,
you want to provide guidance...
for recent trends and music?
I'll play many roles. At times, I can give you advice.
At times, I'll be the trainee.
- Or you can be the manager. - Yes, I can be a manager too.
Wait, are you saying you want to be our manager?
I'll do that if you want me to.
Myung Soo really adores him...
because he looks after him in the most perfect way.
- Seriously, I do that. - I'm serious.
Kwang Hee is not just considerate...
He takes such good care of people.
Let's say he became sulky and doesn't want to eat.
When he's lying down, I put chopsticks between his fingers.
He needs to eat.
- That's why he adores him. - That's how he can move.
Kwang Hee is the best for this. He's called Caregiver Hwang.
If you want that, I can do that for you.
I respect you two a lot.
Here's the problem.
- Let's say we begin at 6am. - Okay.
Then Kwang Hee has to pick us up.
Then his manager has to wake up at 3am...
to pick him up.
- I can't help it. - His manager will suffer the most.
Do you get it?
Let's not treat him only as our caregiver.
Kwang Hee, your forehead may get sunburnt. Come inside a bit.
- I understand now. - Understand what?
I can see why you're here today.
Hyo Lee took a liking to you.
(Is that so?)
No, I'm not like that.
Viewers, I'm not here for nothing.
Hyo Lee brought me here.
I didn't exactly bring you here.
Everyone is criticizing me.
I came because I got called.
"Why are you a part of this?" "Get lost."
People are criticizing me too much.
I'm a beloved guy too!
I need to explain myself. Wait.
I'll send out written accusations too.
I won't just sit around.
The court will send one to you. I'll send a registered mail!
- Do you even know how it's done? - What's this?
Don't you do it like this?
- Do you know how it's done? - What is this?
Hey, just stay still.
- You can be here today... - This is so funny.
because our viewers said...
- you're pretty great. - Many people did.
- Many people love you. - Exactly.
Anyway, now that you're here, you can stay.
- Really? - You're here, so you can stay.
We can't have a cozy relationship like this.
Kwang Hee is cute and adorable.
Isn't he adorable?
You make me feel flustered if you say that.
What are you talking about?
You can't do something by yourself when you're in a group.
Even if you want to date someone,
you can't do it if it brings harm to your group.
No one in this group will date anyone.
- No, Kwang Hee. - Yes, "A World of the Married".
- I brought it up before. - Hey.
If we were going to date, Rain and I would've dated ages ago.
- It has been 20 years. - He held me in my arms...
- and I dropped back and all. - And...
even if "A World of the Married" happens,
it'll be them. I have nothing to do with this.
You never know. You might get caught up in this.
Just like how she used the neighbor to get her revenge.
- He's the neighborhood guy? - Why are you taking it that far?
Don't take things that far.
- It could happen. - It won't.
Then you should promise...
that it won't happen.
It'll never happen. Okay, then.
- Let's go in and talk about music. - Yes, let's go in.
Let's start a discussion.
(What will they choose as the concept of their music?)
Anyway, we don't have much time left.
I heard July 27 is the 1st anniversary...
- of Hangout with Yoo. - Really?
So we're thinking about...
releasing the song digitally around mid-July.
- You're right. - That's the peak of summer.
Then it'll take at least a month...
for us to record and practice.
Yes, a month. We have about a month.
Everything has to end by then. Before mid-June,
we have to have the concept and the recording done.
We have to finish recording by mid-June?
- We need the time to practice. - Because that's when...
- Oh, we need to practice. - the song will get mixed...
and mastered to make the song in great quality.
So by mid-June... It has to be done before June 20.
I saw that there are...
many singers who are returning in June and July.
All kinds of famous singers are coming back.
- I looked into that. - Okay.
Here are the singers who are returning in June among girl groups.
It's TWICE.
TWICE will return on June 1,
then on June 9, WJSN.
June 10, DIA will return.
Then on the 15th, IZ ONE.
And BLACKPINK will also return in June.
- Those are all girl groups. - Yes.
And Tae Jin Ah will release a song too.
Lee Sun Hee will return too.
Aren't you returning with Tae Jin Ah?
We did that four years ago.
(His legendary playful comeback ended smoothly.)
- There are no mixed-gender groups. - That's not the case!
- Which group? - There's a mixed group?
Zaza is returning.
- Really? - Yes, Zaza is coming back.
- I had no idea either. - They're coming back.
Zaza is coming back?
June is a pretty tough league.
Our production crew requested...
a few songwriters for our song,
- and they often asked for our name. - You're right.
- It's important. - There are some songs...
- that stem from the group's name. - You're right.
Group names are unique these days.
There's TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
- What does that mean? - It's...
It's... You know.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
How should I put this?
Just translate it literally.
- Try it. - TOMORROW. That's tomorrow.
X, read "by", means beside.
And TOMORROW?
TOMORROW X TOGETHER means you're beside tomorrow? No idea.
My gosh, man.
Let me share a few names that our viewers recommended.
First, Seok Hyo Rain.
Or Jae Rain Hyo Effect.
Isn't that cool? Jae Rain Hyo Effect.
What's Jae?
- Jae of Jae Seok. Then Rain. - And Hyo of Hyo Lee.
Jae Rain Hyo Effect.
I like Lee Hyo Lee and Boys.
We came up with this idea first,
but we have to think about if we want to do this in English.
- Are we going after the world? - Okay.
You love going out after the world.
- You still have that habit? - That's why I only eat World Cone.
- I love that ice cream. - Hey!
- I only eat S Cone. - Rain.
- I only eat World Cone. - I only eat S Cone.
That's my position now. I can only eat S Cone.
If we're going after the world, let's make an English name.
If we aren't, let's go with 100 percent Korean.
Wait, Ji Hoon. Are you thinking about...
using our group as a foothold...
to go back out into the world?
No way.
We have no intention of doing that.
- Are you trying to go out again? - I have to go back to Jeju Island.
- I have to go to Jeju Island. - Right? You have to go to Jeju.
I'm going to do this in a hurry, then leave.
I have zero ambitions at this point.
What do you mean, you'll do it and leave?
I'll do this in a hurry, then leave.
- Any ideas? - Well, these days,
there are groups like TWICE and BLACKPINK,
- you know, something simple. - English words?
Easy and simple English words that we can understand.
Then what? What should we be called?
- What should the group be called? - Yes.
I haven't given that a thought.
This isn't even my group. Why would I think about that?
You don't say anything when we actually need your help.
I want our group name...
I want people to know that we targeted summer just by our name.
- You want it to sound summery. - Yes, I want that.
- Like Cool. - Do you have any ideas?
- I have one, Hyo Lee. - What is it?
- Summer... What? Summer Hit? - Summer Hit.
- Yes. - Summer Hit.
- That's too plain. - It doesn't sound refreshing.
How about Summer Peach?
Or how about we use the name of a fruit? Like Pineapple?
That's why I suggested Peach.
- Peach? - Yes. Peach.
But it has to be relevant to us. It has nothing to do with us.
(A perfect name for the trainee, Hyo Lee, and Rain...)
Is there a good name for us? Something that suits us perfectly?
Right. Naming the group...
- is important. - Naming is really hard.
It's hard. Coming up with a name...
- is hard. - Yes.
- Pass on the name of the group. - Okay.
- We'll pass everything then? - Let's pass it for now.
Why are we here today then?
- Let's not obsess over one thing. - Yes.
Besides, I'm sure the viewers will have awesome ideas.
- Right. They are better than us. - Help us name our group.
- Something related to summer? - Yes, something summery.
- A name that exudes a summery vibe. - And it should represent us too.
That's a hard task, isn't it? But I'm sure you can do it.
(And...)
(- This is crazy. - This is amazing.)
(- Yes! - This is a great combination!)
(As soon as they begin their live stream, )
(the viewers are sharing countless ideas for the name.)
(I think it's good.)
We've decided that our group name is...
(The group name and their character names will be revealed.)
Anyway, we need to discuss the theme of our group...
and divide the roles in our group.
Let me tell you what I decided after giving it a lot of thought.
I want us to exude the vibe from the 80s and 90s.
I want us to be popular,
but underneath all that, I want us to be cool.
I want to impress the viewers with our song. I thought it'd be nice.
What do you think?
Are we having a debate here?
- Why don't you share your ideas? - Is that it?
- Is this "100-Minute Debate"? - Go ahead, Hyo Lee.
When it comes to our costumes, Jae Seok and I...
have to wear outfits that match.
- Right, we should. - Since we're in the same group...
When it comes to the style of the group,
Hyo Lee should have a say in it.
- She should decide on our style. - Me?
You just want me to decide on our style, not our song or dance?
- That's not it. - She won't get involved in that.
- That's what he meant, right? - You don't have to worry about it.
- So I... - You just take care of the clothes.
- I left the industry long ago. - That's not it.
- You should just pick up clothes. - Pick up clothes?
- You need to pick up the clothes. - That's not it.
Is there a position in the group you want?
I think I can be a supporting vocalist.
I can only support too.
- Should I be the main vocalist? - Yes.
You'll be the main vocalist?
They want to be supporting vocalists.
It only leaves me to be the main vocalist.
Or the machine can be the main vocalist.
- Machines can do everything. - Hey!
- Are we some machine-driven group? - These days...
Besides, these days, they play the song and just dance.
It's not that I want to be the main vocalist.
I'll audition for the role. I'm pretty good. I'm confident.
- You're good. - Really?
- You have a good voice. - I...
I tend to sing old rhythm and blues songs.
I'm serious. I'm getting vocal lessons.
- I find this really funny. - I can totally relate.
Hey, you guys should be confident of yourselves. Why audition for it?
You don't need to audition. You can just take the role.
Listen. I can somewhat pull off...
the role of the main vocalist.
- So I'll show you later. - Great.
- Sounds great. - Okay.
Well, you want to try taking the main vocalist position.
- Go. - I...
Do it. Hit the high notes.
(Hitting the high notes)
I can do it.
- You did it right away. - I did it right away.
Then, play the high note game among yourselves.
- Why would we do that? - Why would you make us play that?
- Who are you to boss us around? - It's a game from the 90s.
- I'm sure you know what I mean. - Your true color just showed.
Her warmth disappeared. "Who are you to boss us around?"
- You were nice earlier. - What was that?
Kwang Hee, this is already hard on you.
- What if one of us got mad? - Okay.
- What if it's real? - What will you do? It's serious.
Well, what can I do? I'll call Dispatch.
I'll expose you.
"Hyo Lee and Rain are harassing me now."
- Be quiet. - Why? I won't be quiet.
I'm going to sue people. You'll be served! All the way to Jeju Island.
- I'll sue you. - Hey.
- Hey. Seriously. - What? Don't stop me.
You little... Do you even know a reporter from Dispatch?
Well, before... He didn't say anything after I mentioned Dispatch.
- Why? - They exposed his relationship...
on January 1.
- Really? With whom? - You come here.
You come here. Come here.
(Sticking his tongue out)
You come here. Everyone forgot about that.
- With whom? - With my wife.
With Tae Hee. That did happen.
- I'm sorry. - It's all right.
- Let's not decide on that now. - Yes.
- When we get the song... - We can discuss and decide.
Why don't we come up with our rules for our group?
Things we should do or we shouldn't do?
- We shouldn't do. - We shouldn't do.
Things we shouldn't do while performing as a group.
Things I shouldn't do or other members shouldn't do?
- Anything. - You can say anything.
Don't be ugly.
- Not being ugly? - Yes.
- He's always ugly. - Okay. I'll think about it.
(1st Rule: to not be ugly.)
Hyo Lee, don't get mad.
- I have fire inside me. - You're scary.
I don't want Hyo Lee to look down on Rain.
I'm fine with that. Why are you butting in?
- You're making me look bad. - She can look down on me.
(2nd rule: to not get angry.)
Don't compare me to other idol girl groups.
Okay.
(Annoyed)
Do you remember what you did on "Family Outing"?
- When did I do that? - That scarred me.
- Don't you remember what you did? - Whenever young guests came,
- you were... - You did that when Rain came.
Yes, I did that. Then, let's say we shouldn't compare each other.
- Okay. - No comparing.
Don't compare me to other idol stars.
We should pave our own path.
- Write down, "silently". - Okay.
Pave our own path silently.
- Pave our own path silently. - Silently.
- Okay. This is nice. - We can add this to our lyrics.
This is great. I like this one.
Pave our own path silently.
They also talk about songs.
- Like the theme? - The theme and the lyrics.
Right. Then, let me ask you this.
Is there a song of yours you personally named?
- I named "Rainism" and "Love Song". - I did too.
- "Rainism". - You named it.
- I wrote lyrics for "Miss Korea"... - "Miss Korea".
and "Bad Girls".
- You wrote the lyrics. - Yes.
(Well, I'm a lyricist too.)
- Actually... - This was popular in the 90s.
- There was a story. - From our point of view... Yes.
- The lyrics had a story. - Right.
"Love You More Than Anyone" by Bijou was good.
"When I turn back on the street,"
"I miss the time we spent together."
("Love You More Than Anyone", May 1999)
(I miss the time we spent together)
(It's been so long)
(The lyrics were written in prose and narrated a story.)
(I love you more than anyone in the world)
(A lengthy expression to describe their emotion)
(Your small world)
"Your smile has a scent of violet."
(A metaphor was used.)
Am I too old? I love lyrics like this.
("Old Lovers" by 015B, released in August 1992)
(When the weekend hits, we make plans out of habit)
(Again, the lyrics were in narrative prose.)
("Aloha" by Cool, released in December 2001)
(There's a candle in the dark)
(A promise with a glass of wine)
(The lyrics are enough to set a scene.)
You don't see this kind of lyrics these days.
"I called you without a caller ID."
- You don't see that now. - Right?
No. Back in the day, we used to call via payphone.
- Without the caller ID. - We used coins and pagers.
Those were mentioned in the lyrics a lot.
- In the titles? - Even in lyrics.
"I hung up after listening to your voice."
What kind of lyrics are there these days?
It's about rhyme, nuance, and words that are easy to pronounce.
- Right. - They use those words often.
- Yes. The lyrics don't make sense. - Right.
"I like it. Your gaze has gotten sharp."
"Nothing is happening between us. Until when will you make me wait?"
("Rookie" by Red Velvet, released in February 2017)
(Nothing is)
(Happening between us)
(The short rhyme suits the melody.)
(Right?)
(You know how it feels)
("BBoom BBoom" by MOMOLAND, released in January 2018)
(Unique onomatopoeic words are used in the lyrics.)
("Egotistic" by MAMAMOO, released in July 2018)
(Scatting)
(There are lyrics that sound similar to a magic spell.)
What's this?
"I don't have to try hard, men are already drooling over me."
"Droo, droo, drool, drool".
- Whose song is that? - BLACKPINK's.
"Droo, droo, drool, drool". Is there a song...
- That's not how you read it. - No?
- Where is it? Where is that? - It's...
- I don't see it. - Look.
"Men are already drooling over me."
- "Droo, droo, drool, drool". - Oh, this?
- Hyo Lee. - Was I wrong?
You can't sing it like that.
- Then, how do you sing it? - What?
"Men are already drooling over me. Droo, droo, drool, drool."
("BOOMBAYAH" by BLACKPINK, released in August 2016)
(Men are already drooling over me)
(Droo, droo, drool, drool)
"Men are already drooling over me."
"Droo, droo, drool, drool."
- That's not how you read it. - Hey.
I didn't know what song you were singing, but that was it.
(Reading onomatopoeic words)
(It sounded so hip in the song.)
(They can't believe their ears.)
- What did you say? - What is this?
My gosh.
Jae Seok, so we can't stick to the old style of lyrics then.
We must mix these up too.
- This is... - We must mix in onomatopoeic words.
They just add interjections.
- We have to add those. - Right.
How about this? Now that we're all married,
- our romance is done for. - Okay.
- Is your romance over? - No, there's romance as a couple.
- Right. - That hot summer night romance.
- We can't have that anymore. - At the beach?
Say that you're on a trip...
and spend a night in an unfamiliar place with a stranger.
You should go with "A World of the Married".
Name the song "A World of the Married".
- In a mysterious vacation spot... - Let's do that.
The title would be "Love Isn't a Crime".
- We could do that. - You know?
Spending a night in a vacation spot with a stranger.
Does it have to be with a stranger?
- Yes, it can't be familiar. - So...
It's like meeting someone...
- by chance on a trip. - Someone...
- And with him... - An exciting night with him.
(An exciting moment with a stranger)
Then, call Sang Soon when we film the music video.
- Don't do that. - And call your wife.
- Will everyone come? - Hey, it can't be familiar.
I don't want familiar faces.
(No familiar faces allowed.)
Why are you getting mad?
I see him all the time.
I can sense seriousness in her eyes.
- I want my heart to flutter again. - Right.
- I want that for our theme. - So the theme...
- An overall theme... - I want my heart to flutter...
- Right. - again this summer.
"I want my heart to flutter again." It could be somewhat romantic.
- Or it could be about our life. - Right.
And it goes for both of us. We've been on a break.
- That's right. - We passed that phase in our life.
- So we can try to recreate that. - That's a great theme.
I really like this idea.
- I like this one. - Once again.
We might have a follow-up song. Let's pick one more theme.
I already shared one.
- You two should share. - Right.
- Go ahead. - Any ideas, Ji Hoon?
"Don't give up."
"This summer, don't give up on your glasses."
Glasses?
"This summer, don't give up on your health."
Is it a campaign song?
These days, people don't say, "Never give up."
The vibe has changed.
You should give up on the things you should give up on.
- "Find what suits you." - "Find what suits you."
How about "Give up"?
"Stop obsessing."
- "Stop obsessing." - "It's okay not to be perfect."
- The desire for success... - Yes.
- The desire to be the best. - The desire to be the best.
- Does that sound okay? - Yes, let's give up.
I like it. It has a message.
There's something I saw on social media.
When the female divers of Jeju Island catch abalone,
they're supposed to give up on the abalone they miss.
Otherwise, they risk their lives.
Because the abalone almost got caught,
it'd cling on to the rock as firmly as it can.
If you try to catch it...
- You'd get short of breath. - It can be dangerous.
We should include that in our lyrics.
That should be our theme.
- "One female diver of Jeju..." - That's not what I meant.
- We need it. - Jeju Island...
It'd give the song some warmth.
- No, that's too specific. - Hyo Lee, we need it.
- That's too specific. - "One female diver said,"
"when you miss abalone once, you should give up on it."
That could be included in the rap part.
"When you miss abalone once, you should give up on it."
"Give up on it. Gi, gi, gi, give up on it."
It's trendy, right?
- I love it. - Okay.
- We need it. - It's nice.
- "When you miss abalone once..." - Hyo Lee,
- I love the message. - It's great.
"Give up on it. Gi, gi, gi, give up on it."
- "Gi, gi, gi, give up on it." - "Gi, gi, gi, give up on it."
- This is incredible. - This is...
Whoever has to rap this...
- is going to laugh on stage. - This is amazing.
This is our killer line.
- "Gi, gi, gi, give up" is so nice. - Gi, gi, gi, give up.
- Come up with something. - I want to hear your idea.
- My idea? - We've heard the other two ideas.
Try to remember your boring past.
- I'm trying to remember. - You wanted to have fun,
- but you were left out. - I had no money.
- I wanted to have fun. - Your friends took you to a club...
- in their car trunk. - In their car trunk.
- And you only sat there alone. - Right.
Try to remember how much you wanted to have fun.
If I'd had money back then...
- Money. - Money.
Every hip-hop song talks about money.
- If I'd had money back then... - Money.
- It reminds me of the 90s. - If I'd had money...
If I'd had money back then...
- I think it's a good idea. - Right?
Everyone could relate.
"If I'd had money back then."
"If I'd had money that summer."
If you'd had money back then, what would you have done?
Then I wouldn't have had to go into that car trunk.
- You'd have driven a car instead? - I'd have bought a car.
What kind of car? What's expensive these days?
- What car do rappers drive? - Back then,
I wanted to drive a Scoupe.
I wanted a Scoupe.
That's such an old car.
These days, do they want the car that starts with B?
Right. We could mix them up.
- We could talk about watches too. - Right.
Then you should flex.
Right. That's what you wanted to do.
The title should be, "Imaginary Flexing".
If "imaginary flexing" becomes our theme,
I think we could try many different things visually.
Right, because it's so open.
You can imagine anything.
(They flex...)
(in their imagination.)
(I can't stop.)
I think imaginary flexing would be hip.
Then let's ask young people...
- what they think of our ideas. - Let's do that.
We've been talking to many songwriters.
- You have? - Yes.
(They have asked songwriters from different generations for songs.)
We should listen to experts...
- who are active these days. - That's important.
(They are being watched...)
(by these people.)
(Part 2 will begin shortly.)
All right.
We should listen to experts...
- who are active these days. - That's important.
- Right. Hi, ZICO. - Right.
- You're back. - ZICO.
Hi, Moon Chi.
Nice to see you.
ZICO. We learned that move earlier.
Hi, Moon Chi.
Hello.
(From "HER", "NalinA", and "Very Good" to "Any Song", )
(he has written countless hit songs.)
(Rapper and producer)
(The king of the charts, ZICO)
(As a young musician with a retro vibe, )
(Park Moon Chi has been mentioned many times.)
(A singer-songwriter and producer in the city pop and synth-pop genre)
(A young musician with the 80s and the 90s vibe)
(Retro-style musician Park Moon Chi)
(She also writes songs for idol groups.)
(Written, composed, and arranged by Park Moon Chi)
(The retro-style musician can even make trendy music.)
(While they were discussing...)
The 90s culture is being interpreted...
in a trendy, newtro style.
I think we should go for a newtro style.
- If they want a retro style... - A mix of old and new?
Old lyrics don't rhyme a lot.
The lines don't usually end with words.
- They rap like they're talking. - Right.
The lines are complete sentences.
Back then, he couldn't have fun because he didn't have money.
- "If I'd had money that summer." - That summer...
I like that.
- You were listening to us? - We were.
- You were? - Yes.
ZICO and Moon Chi, are you interested in writing songs for us?
- Of course. - If I can write good ones.
- That's the only problem. - Really?
ZICO, how do you usually work?
When I'm producing,
I take the artist's characteristics into account.
I try to find the music style that would suit the artist...
and reflect that in my work.
What did you think of the song themes we came up with?
I like "If I'd had money that summer".
- That one? - You like that?
- You like that? - I think it's interesting.
Imaginary flexing.
I like it too.
But we should think about how it's going to finish.
We could be realistic and pessimistic...
and say, "It was too bad."
"If only we'd had money."
But then...
at the end, we could twist it.
"Regardless, we're enjoying this summer."
Something like that.
- That sounds nice. - "Just like you're..."
"enjoying this song,"
"we're going to enjoy this summer."
So it's important how the song ends.
Many 90s songs talk about sad themes...
- with a fast tempo. - That's right.
(Even a song about a lover's betrayal...)
(has a fast techno beat.)
(Say goodbye with a smile on your face.)
(Have you ever broken up with someone)
(On a beautiful, sunny day?)
(It's even worse than breaking up)
(On a rainy day)
We could make a summer breakup song.
Is a summer breakup different from a winter breakup?
- It has a different feeling. - For example,
"Because we broke up, this summer isn't hot anymore."
"It's cold."
- I approve. - Or "This summer is a star."
"This summer isn't hot for me anymore."
"It's a star that I long for."
It would be a pun in which the summer resembles a star.
"This summer is a star"?
I like it.
- ZICO is full of ideas. - He is.
I see why ZICO is so popular.
(Shy)
I heard Moon Chi prepared something for us.
You reinterpreted a new song in the 90s style?
I wanted to give you a taste.
Let's hear it.
These days, all you need is a laptop.
- I'll play it. - Okay.
(The intro has a fast beat.)
I like it.
(I remember this.)
It's the old style.
- Right? - Yes.
Even the intro has the old style.
(It already sounds like the 90s.)
(Dancing)
(The song makes him dance.)
I love this.
(The song sounds fun and unfamiliar.)
(Reply 1990s)
(It feels like you're going back in time.)
This is a new song?
- What song is this? - What song is this?
What is it?
It's not an old song?
Play anything that's fun.
(It's "Any Song" by ZICO.)
It's "Any Song".
It really is "Any Song".
(Not even ZICO knew.)
It's nice.
- It's really nice. - I know.
(Fascinated)
It's really nice.
ZICO, dance.
He is good.
(The dance challenge was present in the 90s.)
It's nice.
(Dancing)
It's really nice.
Hold on.
Ji Hoon, can you think of a dance move?
To this beat...
(Rain dances right away.)
Stand up.
For you,
I made a part for a dance break.
Where is it?
Tell us when it starts.
Now.
1, 2, 3, 4.
(Satisfied)
This dance suits the song.
(Rain dances in his style...)
(to "Any Song".)
- It's really nice. - It's trendy.
It's really nice.
You never disappoint me.
Moon Chi is good.
She mixed the current trends...
and the retro vibe very well.
It started out like an old song.
- It's really nice. - It gave me goosebumps...
when she said it's ZICO's song.
Would you make a song like this?
- Make our song like this. - Seriously.
It was really nice.
- I see why people love Moon Chi. - I know.
- People love Moon Chi. - Yes.
- Is there another song? - Really?
- There is another song. - Let's listen to it.
Then I need to break it down again.
You can take a break.
Let's hear it.
- I was expectant. - She told you not to dance.
- Why can't I dance? - You can dance, but...
These days, the ballad songs have...
the calm type of sadness.
Back in the days, the ballad songs...
- hit the heart. - They were like a cry.
They made your heart ache.
- Is it that kind of a ballad song? - It's heartrending.
- Is it heartrending? - Is it heartrending?
So it's a song that will tear your heart out.
That's good.
It could be hard at times.
The narration.
- It's like a Fin.K.L song. - I know.
(Moon Chi's narration brings back the 90s.)
That's Moon Chi's voice.
That's my voice.
(Our small and precious poem)
(My goodness.)
(The saxophone accompaniment brings back memories.)
Hyo Lee, shouldn't the dance be like this?
Dance like Noise.
- I know what to do. - Dance.
- That's it. - There you go.
(The dance for a ballad song stays within a short distance.)
There you go. That's good.
- You know, - It's an old ballad song.
it's really nice.
(I want to know everything How is your day?)
Isn't that a song by BTS?
- "Boy With Luv". - That's right.
(She added the 90s' sentimentality to a recent song.)
It's really nice.
I got goosebumps.
This arrangement is amazing.
It's nice.
It definitely has the 90s' vibe.
You can hit your chest.
(The sorrowful emotions hit the heart.)
Moon Chi has many talents.
(She went over the charts of the 90s.)
- That was incredible. - You know,
I met Moon Chi for the first time today.
- I see why people love Moon Chi. - I know.
- People love Moon Chi. - Yes.
Her songs have the sentimentality of the 90s.
- Seriously. - I know.
- But her songs aren't restricted. - No, they aren't.
She is amazing.
- She is incredible. - That's the vibe we want.
- That's right. - We want a song...
that is based on the 90s' vibe...
with the current charms. It's exactly Moon Chi's style.
I am glad she came.
If you work with us,
what kind of vibe would you go for?
I think the mixed-gender group...
that was the most impactful...
was Turtles.
I think "Airplane" is...
a masterpiece of the era.
- It's really nice. - I want a song like that.
(Turtles left made hit songs...)
(such as "Airplane", "Bingo", and "Sing Lala".)
(Their songs are characterized...)
(by the upbeat and cheerful melody, singing skills, and rap.)
Then we need the ability to hit high notes.
Both Hyo Lee and Rain...
- are practicing how to sing. - We are supporting vocalists.
- Yes. - You are practicing how to sing.
We need the main vocalist. Hyo Lee is practicing.
There were songs that have a one-word title in Korean.
Like "Resentment"?
- "Resentment". - "The Way".
I want to use that concept...
- to make a refreshing song... - "Bruise".
like Kim Hyun Jung or Uhm Jung Hwa.
(With songs like "Breakup with Her" and "Bruise", )
(Kim Hyun Jung was the most popular diva in the 90s.)
(Her dance songs had the rock sound and explosive high notes.)
(With songs like "Rose of Betrayal", "Poison", and "Invitation", )
(Uhm Jung Hwa was the entertainer who represented Korea.)
(Her songs had the high notes and fancy performances.)
It needs to be catchy from the start.
When people listen to a song...
- Unless it's a song... - They don't listen to it for long.
from their favorite artists,
they don't feel the need to listen to it until the end.
The 10 seconds of introduction...
- It needs to be catchy. - Yes.
- It's true. It's really true. - It's true, right?
Back in the days when I went to clubs,
there were songs that don't let you finish...
the conversation.
You have to stop the conversation...
and run to the dance floor.
- That's right. - Some songs are that good.
We want that kind of a song.
We want a song with an introduction...
that makes us run out.
(Music blaring)
- That's it. - Is that the beat?
That's the beat.
- It's too fast. - That's the beat.
- Jae Seok. - This is driving me crazy.
(I love this beat.)
I love it.
(A familiar melody plays over the beat.)
This is your song.
The two of them aren't too impressed.
The two of them...
- can't dance to that beat. - It doesn't make me dance.
It doesn't make me dance.
The horse needs to run.
The horse needs to gallop on the keyboards.
Why don't you use the vocoder?
It's a good idea.
- Vocoder. - It was used often in the 90s.
What is a vocoder?
Let's use what everyone else uses.
The sound of the keyboard...
It goes like this.
A vocoder adds voice to it.
How?
- As you sing into the microphone, - "Hello."
you play the keyboard.
(The human voice...)
(is added to the sound of the keyboards.)
(Stevie Wonder)
(There is a talk box with a hose as well.)
(Muzie)
(The vocoder suits dance music.)
- That's what a vocoder is. - Yes.
That's a good idea.
In commissioning a song,
what does "Sending a lead" mean?
A lead is a proposal that is sent to songwriters...
which shows what kind of a song...
an artist is looking for.
Then the songwriters gather around and go,
"Let's go for this one."
That way, thousands of songs will be sent.
It's like a contest.
That's right. It's like a contest.
Will incredible songs gather...
if they do that?
It will be no joke. The combination you have now...
will make the nation shake.
How do we send the lead?
Do we go to the Han River and send a message in a bottle?
Do we send a message through a pigeon?
- ZICO. - Jae Seok.
You sound like an old man.
- We can tie a note to a pigeon. - That's right.
You know what I am talking about.
You can send me an email.
I could just email it to you then?
The agency usually sends emails...
to composers...
or gives calls.
In that case, shall we use this opportunity...
to send a lead to composers...
including the two of them?
- Shall we do that? - Shall we do that?
Shall we bring in the pigeons?
(Shall we bring in the pigeons?)
(We will get going.)
They already left.
- Hyo Lee sent them. - I sent them.
- Even the pigeons helped her. - Seriously.
As soon as she said it, the pigeons went.
- Did you see that? - Did you see that?
We sent the lead.
Emails are fine, but pigeons will knock on each door.
They are going to Cheongdam-dong.
They have...
our messages tied to their feet.
They will reach the composers soon.
The same thing applies to Moon Chi and ZICO.
- Do we send our works via email? - No.
Send it back with the pigeon.
We can put it on a CD or a floppy disk.
If you send the songs,
we will listen to them and contact you.
You won't hire people just because they are famous, right?
Of course not.
I think he will go home and compose a song.
- Seriously. - Right?
I will enter the blind testing.
That works.
Then it isn't a problem.
- Send your work. - I write music too.
Send your work.
We can send in our works.
- I will write a song. - I have a song.
The same goes for Rain.
- Tell Sang Soon too. - Okay.
Tell Sang Soon.
- Kwang Hee, do you write music? - I will participate too.
My nickname will be Silicon Valley.
Don't block my email.
Please accept it.
- Next time, we'll pick our song. - That's the most important step.
Next time, we'll pick our song.
(1. I want to get excited once more this summer.)
(2. Cheer up? No! Give up when it's necessary.)
(3. If I'd had money that summer...)
(Composers, did you get the lead?)
(A week later, summer is just around the corner.)
(Nodeul Island shines under the warm sunlight.)
(Jae Seok arrives first.)
The temperature is high, but the sun...
isn't too strong.
It will be hot soon.
(What is he doing here today?)
I heard that we will have a live stream.
No one told me about it.
I found out about it through online articles.
(Please pick a group name.)
(They asked for a name that suits a summer dance group.)
(Give us a good name.)
Thus, we prepared...
a hot outing to choose a group name!
(A live stream to choose a name for the dance group)
It's a live stream!
The viewers...
will give a name to the summer dance group.
It will be revealed in a live stream!
I am fine with it,
but Hyo Lee... Oh, Hyo Lee.
Oh, Hyo Lee.
- Ji Hoon. - Hi.
- What's up? - My goodness.
- Jae Seok. - You look like Korean Americans.
This is a Korean American style.
(It's an exotic style.)
I became used to heels.
Hyo Lee, don't you think only one shoulder will get tanned?
I can switch to this shoulder later.
Is that so? Okay. I didn't think about that.
- I didn't know about that. - Exactly.
- I knew it. You're a pro. - Don't worry about me.
- How have you been? - How have you been, Ji Hoon?
I've been working hard on our song.
You... I told you not to do that. Don't do that.
- Don't work on our songs. - Why not?
Why not? I've been working hard.
- Let's sit down and talk. - Okay.
- Linda. Today... - Linda Jung.
- You look like Linda today. - Linda Jung.
I don't know what you do.
But it looks like you run a big business.
- Don't I look like I'm from LA? - Yes, I was going to bring that up.
I don't feel like I'm in Seoul now.
- It feels like somewhere abroad. - What's the name of that LA beach?
- It's... - The name of the beach?
- There's a famous sunset. - Santa Monica Beach?
- Yes. That. - Something like that?
- I see. - I'm from Santa Monica.
You know what I think? Let me give you your resume.
Linda went to the States to study although it was hard...
to afford to study there.
- At first. - Yes, at first.
And she opened a small hair salon in the States by chance.
Now, she has over 200 branches of the hair salon...
all over the States.
And Linda became a very wealthy lady.
She's the director. I'm her assistant director. Yes.
- You... - What?
Why do you keep trying to work for me?
- Right. - I said this multiple times.
That's easier.
I was going to tell you this.
I read in an article we're having a live stream.
I've never done a live stream on a show.
- That's why I'm bringing this up. - Have you done this before?
Ji Hoon. Hyo Lee.
- 10 minutes? - Live stream in 10 minutes?
- But we must accept it. - Isn't that how it's done nowadays?
- Right? - The thing is...
that doing a live stream on YouTube is popular.
That's how teenagers will watch our show...
- Now... - and learn about our project.
A lot of behaviors on TV shows have changed.
- We must follow the changes. - Behaviors?
Do you mean "forms"?
Yes. The forms of TV shows continue to grow.
Linda was working too hard to run her business.
I stayed in the States for too long, so I forgot Korean words.
- Right. You forgot. - Yes.
- Sorry. Be understanding. - Anyway...
Hey, I wasn't going to bring this up.
- Don't bring it up. - I can't help but talk about it.
- No. - Every week, we get...
so many updates about you.
- What? What updates? - What is it this time?
I saw that you were doing a project with Jay Park and HAON.
The remix of "Gang"?
(Hip-hop musicians did a remix to reinterpret the original song.)
(The trendy transformation ranked 1st on the music charts.)
(Everyone comes together with "Gang".)
(The wave of "Gang" is embracing Rain.)
By the way, the C.G. is going wild everywhere.
Kwang Hee's video got more views than Rain's.
- Exactly. - With the dance.
That's not important. I was very offended by Kwang Hee.
- What happened? - He released articles.
He only thanked Hyo Lee. What about us?
- He's... - Did he release the articles?
Yes.
- What are you talking about? - He can't. Hey.
- He doesn't run a media agency. - He did an interview.
He didn't do an interview.
Reporters these days write articles after reading social media posts.
I see. It was from a social media post?
- How could you get that mixed up? - But...
he left comments on your posts. But he didn't do that on mine.
No, he didn't do that. I left comments on his post.
What did you see? What was the article you read?
He thought Kwang Hee went to the agency for the interview.
- Eight interviews a day. - These days...
They don't visit agencies for interviews these days.
We can't even do that anymore.
- There are too many. - Right.
(I'm sorry, Kwang Hee.)
Hyo Lee, did you get here at 5am today?
No. I got here last night.
Last night? That's better. You must have gotten some rest.
But I went to sleep late. I had some drinks.
I should have come this morning from Jeju Island.
So I was up until late at night anyway.
Hyo Lee, I wasn't going to say this, but Sang Soon is greatly worried.
You know, it's like that story, "The Fairy and the Woodcutter".
He hid my clothes.
He hid my clothes and makeup tools.
I found them and left.
Hyo Lee's fans are begging her to come back to the industry.
- They want her to return? - Yes, they are going crazy.
- Well, they are waiting for us. - Yes.
- First of all... - Shall we go in?
- What should we do for the opening? - Let's go.
Let's sing a song by a mixed-gender group.
Which song haven't we sung?
- We can sing Roo'Ra's songs. - We sang a lot of their songs.
- "Breakup" by KOYOTE? - That's too fast.
Then, what?
- Today... - Just pick what you want to do.
My gosh, this group...
- is too hard. - Go with Lee Hyo Lee and the Boys.
- Right. That's the best. - Right.
Since I look like an LA resident, how about Uptown's song?
Since I'm from uptown, what about Uptown's song?
- You'll do what you want anyway. - Let's go with that.
- If you're going to decide, - Hey.
- Yes. Just tell us. - don't even ask us.
Tell us that you want to sing Uptown's song, "Back to Me".
- Just say that. - Prepare "Back to Me".
I know the song, but I don't know the dance.
We don't know either.
- It goes like this. - We can just do this.
You can just wing it, but I can't.
- But you're a quick learner. - It's all about the feel.
- It's about your groove. - I need time. I can't dance well.
But you have an upper hand.
- What? - No one expects anything from you.
- Seriously. - No one will expect you to be good.
- My gosh. - Aren't I right?
- We have to get ready inside. - That's good.
- Right. Ji Hoon is too hot. - Let's go in.
It's very hot.
Gosh, it actually does feel like it's summer now.
(The live stream will begin shortly.)
(- I can't wait to see you. - I've been waiting.)
(- When will you start? - When?)
- Come inside. - My gosh.
- Did it start already? - My gosh. It's huge.
(A special space for the three of them)
(Huge posters are hung all over the place.)
(A banner to celebrate their live stream)
(We spent some money for today's event.)
What is this?
- My gosh, Hyo Lee. - Look at the photo.
They prepared a lot.
They started talking already.
Everyone is waiting now.
22,000 people.
(Surprise Live Stream: Name Our Group!)
- Rehearsal? Yes, let's try that. - Yes.
(Unique pronunciation of "Yes")
(Yes.)
Shouldn't you be in front?
(Everyone gets in their places.)
Like this?
("Back to Me" by Uptown)
(Hangout with Yoo)
(This mixed-gender group of 4 seeks to bring black music.)
(This song is about one's yearning toward the old lover.)
(This song was released in 1997.)
(17-year-old Yoon Mi Rae's singing stood out in the song.)
- Does it start here? - Yes.
(Dancing in sync)
Up and down.
Don't we do that three times?
3 times? It's probably 3 times. Is it 4 times?
(Confused from the get-go)
What do we do?
(Linda from LA starts.)
(Her groove flew across the Pacific Ocean.)
We're Lee Hyo Lee and Boys. We can just stay in the back.
Right.
(Working hard in the back)
(They are rehearsing in their own places.)
Jae Seok.
(Taking the center with timid steps)
(He's already nervous when it's just a rehearsal.)
I'll go up to "After I left you".
(They divide the parts on the spot.)
- You have to sing up to this part. - This part?
And you're next.
(Smoothly taking over)
You're a great dancer.
(The trainee copies his moves.)
Wouldn't this be enough?
You can finish up to this part.
(Gazing while hogging the camera)
- One more time. - Go up to this part.
Hey, move.
(Dashing)
(How dare you block me?)
(Linda won't hold back.)
- He keeps standing in the front. - This is nice.
- Listen. - Cut it.
- Cut the music. - What?
- You know what? - He keeps standing in the front.
Here's what I found really funny.
She just said, "Hey, move." And Rain did this.
(Rushing at her order)
Did you see that?
- Hey, you. - You keep blocking me.
I'm sorry. I'm used to performing alone.
You can't do that in a group.
- You've never been in a group. - So the thing is...
So let's be considerate of each other.
- The thing is... - It's all about the rotation.
Okay. Got it. Let's start now.
- Okay. Are we starting? - Okay.
This is so funny.
- "Hey, move." - I'll get ready now.
Do it.
- Will we do this first? - Yes.
- And let's do this next. - Yes.
Okay. There are two.
- Like this? - There are three.
Do whatever you want for the third one.
- Okay. - I got it.
Linda, move up.
We'll start the live stream.
- 10, 9, - We're starting.
- 8, 7, - I'm nervous now.
6, 5, 4,
3, 2...
(They are ready for the live stream.)
(The live stream will begin shortly.)
One.
(Ta-da.)
(Swaying)
(- I'm watching them live. - I love this!)
(- It's finally starting. - I love this group.)
- We were supposed to do this. - Hey.
(Get ready for their cool performance.)
(Come back to me, please come back to me)
Aren't we supposed to come over?
(I'm waiting for you, baby)
Come on. We were supposed to come here.
(Hyo Lee takes the center without any hesitation.)
(Hyo Lee is so cool.)
(She's indeed Lee Hyo Lee.)
(Her dance is super nice!)
Isn't that too much?
(Her desperate dance longs for the man who has left her.)
(The trainee sets out.)
(He's handsome.)
(Can he be this cute?)
(His hand gesture looks sad.)
(Because of my simple-mindedness, you left without a word)
(The comments are blowing up.)
(The trainee can keep his cool while performing.)
(He smoothly passes it over to Rain.)
(Gazing)
(I'm leaving you a message)
(Their teamwork is getting better as the performance goes on.)
(Come back to me)
(Please forgive my past mistakes)
(They make a good team.)
(They are dancing in sync.)
(They are indeed legendary.)
Let's wrap up.
(- They are beautiful. - What a great chemistry!)
- Great. We did it. - All right.
- Jae Seok, it was good, right? - It wasn't perfect.
Yes. By the way, all three of us...
haven't performed in a group including myself.
- We've been performing alone. - It's our first time.
I keep hogging the cameras.
- I can see you're ambitious. - Right.
We're still working on our teamwork.
- Right. - Gosh, so many people are online.
Even on a weekday afternoon, about 40,000 people are watching.
- 40,000 people? - My gosh.
Thank you so much.
- All right. - Thank you.
First, let's introduce ourselves one by one.
Hello, I'm Lee Hyo Lee.
Hello, I'm Rain.
This is quite old-fashioned, but hello, I'm Yu Jae Seok.
Today, because of Hyo Lee's outfit and so forth,
- she feels like a Korean-American. - Right.
- I'm Linda from LA. - Yes.
- So we'll call you by Linda today. - Okay.
- It's a trend to have alter egos. - Right.
- Linda can be your alter ego. - I am...
In LA, I'm currently running...
- about 200 hair salons. - That's right.
In other words, you're a successful businesswoman.
- Right. - That's right.
I'm Linda Jung,
- who drives a convertible. - That's right.
"Lee Hyo Lee is on fire today."
- Yes, I'm on fire. - That's true.
"Hyo Lee is dope." Okay.
- "Sang Soon, turn off your phone." - Right.
Maybe he's watching us too.
I'm wondering whether Sang Soon...
- is watching it or not. - Oh, my. I should pull this up.
Currently, 54,000 people are...
Let me cover my shoulder first.
- In case Sang Soon is watching? - He hates this kind of clothes.
Is that so? All right.
This is really amazing.
- A lot of people are joining us. - It scrolls too fast to read.
- Comments are pouring in. - Right.
54,000 people are with us right now.
54,000 people at this hour?
- This is crazy. - "Rain's belt is eye-catching."
- He's wearing a seatbelt. - What is that?
- Isn't this a seatbelt? - You're so behind the trend.
- What? - This is what youngsters wear.
"A flashy belt embraces me."
"His belt looks like a seatbelt."
I guess it has already begun.
- Look, Ji Hoon. - In the Internet world...
You really stand out on social media.
- No one beats you. You're on fire. - I know.
Look at that. They write such witty comments.
"Rain, are you going to Bugok Hawaii?"
(Rain, are you going to Bugok Hawaii?)
(Bugok Hawaii)
(In Summer, Bugok Hawaii is the best.)
Isn't it funny?
- These days, - Well, I mean...
- reading comments alone is funny. - What?
- I thought this would look cool. - "Safari"?
- "Shouldn't you on a safari?" - Gosh, safari.
"Are you going to a jungle?"
"Rain is camouflaging." Everyone's talking about it.
"Everland part-timer".
"I thought he was an Everland part-timer."
- All you need is to put on a hat. - Wait.
(Up and down)
(He's perfectly in sync, from the outfit to the dance.)
- Just throw on a hat. - Gosh, my stomach hurts.
- Gosh, it's amazing. How do they... - Look over there.
They want you to give them a wave.
(Please give us a wave like an Everland part-timer.)
- 72,000 people are with us now. - 72,000 viewers.
In fact, they have suggested a lot of ideas for our group name.
I'm sincerely thankful.
Now, we'll talk with the viewers...
- about summery group names. - Okay.
Let's see. What options do we have?
"Gang" plus Lee Hyo Lee...
- plus Yu San Seul, Gang Lee Seul. - Yu San Seul, Gang Lee Seul.
Okay. We've got Gang Lee Seul.
- "Yu Hyo B". In fact, - We got that a lot.
it has a ring to it.
"Hyo Jae B". It sounds more like sujebi.
"Are Yu Rain-Lee".
- Yu Jae Seok, Rain, Lee Hyo Lee. - "Are Yu Rain-Lee"?
- "Iced Latte". - "Iced Latte"?
Many people make a pun out of the word "latte" lately.
It's used when reminiscing, so it suits old-timers like us.
"People of the 20th Century" sounds good too.
Longer names are also...
- in trend. - I know, right?
"People of the 20th Century" sounds meaningful, right?
- "Bing". - "Bing"?
Oh, just like Cool?
- It's ice in Chinese characters. - Bing?
- I thought about that too. "Three". - "Three"?
Like "Three Guys and Three Girls".
- Just Three? - Yes.
Or 2 Guys and 1 Girl.
- That sounds good too. - Well...
- "Progressive Tax". - "Progressive Tax"?
Because we'll be only working in summer.
"Progressive Tax"?
"Show Available in Summer, SAS".
- "FSIG". - "FSIG".
"Feisty Superstars' Incredible Group".
They come up with such incredible names.
"Summer with You". Gosh, I like the meaning.
- "Summer with You"? - "Summer with You".
"SWMM".
"Superstars We Missed the Most".
- "SWMM". - That sounds good too.
"Hangout with B Lee Yu".
(Hangout with B Lee Yu)
This is quite brilliant,
- but it seems a little too long. - That's very clever.
- They have such brilliant ideas. - Right.
- "Na Lee Tae". - Na Kyung Eun,
Lee Sang Soon, and Kim Tae Hee?
Is this how far they're going?
After the names of our spouses,
Na Kyung Eun, Lee Sang Soon, and Kim Tae Hee,
it's called Na Lee Tae.
Do you want something funny...
or something cool, Jae Seok?
Either way, it's Linda's call, isn't it?
- Is it not? - No, it's not.
- It's Linda's call, right? - No.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Do you like any of the names so far?
To be honest, there was nothing that appealed to me.
- Nothing? - Is that so?
- What I have in mind... - What is it?
is Summer Peach, like I said the other day.
Peaches in summer, you know.
- "It's old-fashioned." - "It's lame."
- What, can't I have an opinion? - "It's no fun."
- What is it? - "It's lame."
A lot of people say it's lame.
"Gosh, they are from the 20th century!"
Did you see that comment? "Rain, just don't."
I guess people think the same. What I think in my head is...
in line with many people's thoughts.
- It's too old-school. - Gosh, this is hilarious.
- How is that old-school? - Right.
"Just put on a cap and take off the clothes."
(Just put on a cap and take off the clothes.)
Seriously? I'm really going to do that then.
Gosh, this is so funny.
Someone comments, "Keep your chin up, Rain."
This sounds great too. "Hyo Lee and Two Dads".
"Two Dads"?
And the other names include, "Hyo Lee's B Seok"...
and "Hyo Lee's B and Yu".
They are sending us a lot of names, right?
- "SSAK3". - Oh?
SSAK3 has a ring to it.
- Because we're three. - It has a strong ring to it.
- What do you think of SSAK3? - SSAK as in sweeping.
- We'll sweep the heat. - SSAK3.
- We'll sweep the music charts. - Sweep the music charts.
SSAK3 sounds good. Many people love it.
What do you think of SSAK3? Do you like SSAK3?
SSAK3 sounds good.
- They're writing positive comments. - They all love it.
Many people love it too.
- SSAK3 sounds catchy, - SSAK3.
and the word SSAK3 itself gives off the 20th century's feel.
- Am I right? - That's right.
We should write that in numbers.
- Like SSAK plus 3. - That sounds great.
We can write it as "SSAK3", right?
- Let's write "SSAK" as pronounced. - SSAK3?
- Yes, SSAK3. - I love it.
- So spell SSAK as pronounced and... - Right.
- write 3 in numbers. It'd be nice. - That's right. Number 3.
All right. SSAK3.
What do you think, Linda?
I think it's good.
Really?
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Okay. Everyone, what's your say on our group name?
- Is this the birth of our name? - Are you okay with it?
As long as you and we both agree,
from now on, our group name is...
- SSAK3! - SSAK3!
(3 legendary singers who will sweep this summer, )
(SSAK3)
All right, we should decide how we'll introduce ourselves.
- Hello. - Okay, SSAK3.
- We're SSAK3. - SSAK3.
Okay.
And I'd like each one of us to have a stage name for the group.
- I'll use Linda then. - And...
- That's right. Linda's good. - Yes, these days...
Since I've worked as a singer,
- I've never used a stage name. - You haven't, right?
- I wanted to try it once. - Yes, Linda sounds good.
Also, as for Rain,
Rain reminds us of the world star Rain.
- That's right. - So let's give him a new name.
"Squall"?
"Squall" and "Playful Boy". There are a lot of choices.
- How about "Rain Tax"? - What do you think?
"Rain Tax"?
(The chat room is already filled with funny comments.)
- "Urology". - What?
Look. "Rhinitis".
- They even brought up rhinitis. - My gosh.
(Popular comments on the live chat room)
(- All of a sudden? - Is he in charge of slapstick?)
Did you see that?
"A rhinitis comes to me like a summer heatwave."
- Rain, there's also "Bi Gwang". - Yes.
- No, "Bi Gwang" is too much. - Is it too much?
It would make me crack up every time I say it. It's a hard no.
- But "Bi Gwang" sounds good. - Seriously?
- You're making me upset. - All right.
- Look, you've just got "Upsetter". - Okay.
Because you keep getting upset.
- Yes, I'm upset. - So you're "Upsetter".
- "Upsetter" sounds good too. - You're making me...
"A, since it comes before B."
- B as in my name in alphabets? - Yes, in alphabets.
I think A sounds brilliant.
- A. - A sounds good.
- They have great ideas. - You can add it to the lyrics too.
Okay, A is my first choice for now.
- A seems nice, right? - A is my top choice.
- "Come On"? How about "B-Dragon"? - "Come On".
B-Dragon sounds great.
- You should take B-Dragon. - B-Dragon?
B-Dragon, who ascends to the sky...
through pouring love.
(B-Dragon embraces the space beyond the world.)
You'll be the dragon of the music industry.
- Gosh, that's cool. - Right.
It sounds slightly oriental, so I think it's good.
I'm serious. You can build up such a character.
- Your outfit as well. - Okay.
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan,
- and B-Dragon. - It's a little... Yes.
That's the three dragons of Asia.
- Yes, it's very convincing. - Okay, I'll take B-Dragon then.
- B-Dragon is good, right? - The three dragons of Asia.
- One of the dragons, B-Dragon. - That's so cool.
Well, what name should I use? I don't mind anything.
- I hope they name you too. - Right.
"UNESCO"?
It's a great name for a rapper.
- But it's a little... - "UNESCO"?
- UNESCO. - My goodness.
- You can be a rapper. - In fact,
I do have quite a big nose.
- UNESCO. - UNESCO.
- Yes, it's good. - Well, UNESCO is...
- I like that one. - Okay.

- Do you like Yu Typhoon? - Yes.
- Like a typhoon, I will rock... - Rock the music industry.
- I'll swallow the music world. - Swallow it.
- Hello, I'm B-Dragon. - What about me? Linda what?
How about Linda G, who'll make you wet your pants?
Please don't!
- Everyone will wet their pants. - This is live!
When I show up, everyone will wet their pants.
It's a live stream! Stop it, will you?
What's wrong with it?
For goodness' sake.
Can we please spend just one week without getting into trouble?
- Wait, but the bottom line is, - Right.
- Linda G sounds cool. - Stop it.
It is cool, isn't it?
- Instead of Linda. - In that case,
- Go for Linda G instead Linda. - No, we can't.
- I love Linda G. - All right.
- You can go by Linda. - I'll be Linda.
But we'll have an unspoken rule not to call her surname.
- Linda G? - Your surname is G.
- G in alphabets, Linda G. - That's right.
- That sounds great. - It's G.
- Linda G. - Linda G.
- Linda G. - All right. There you have it.
Someone suggests "Jinda O".
No, I like Linda G better.
Okay, then that will be your name.
- Linda G. - I love it.
I'm surprised you took that name.
(She's just amazing.)
She willingly took that name, gosh.
- Hello, I'm Linda G. - Okay.
- You should say hello too. - Linda G.
- B-Dragon, go. - Hello, I'm B-Dragon.
Right, B-Dragon.
- It suddenly feels lame, right? - It has the alphabet B.
Yes, it feels a little lame now.
- He feels less confident now. - Now, it feels plausible.
Jae Seok, whatever we do, we can't beat Linda G.
Yes, it's invincible.
- Look. After you just said... - In fact...
nothing can't beat Linda G,
comments are storming in again.
(Comments are storming in.)
- Anything else? - Someone just said, "Rain Smell".
Look. You have other choices.
- You can pick a funnier name. - There are a lot of options.
- Pick one if you want to. - "BB Gun"!
- "Rain Smell". - "Bibim ramyeon".
Would you like "Smell B"?
Please stop writing something like "Raindruff".
Stop that.
- You don't... - "Let's take this to the end"?
You don't have to try to win against me...
and send in those names.
Raindruff?
My gosh, they're so excited.
Look at how fast the chat is going up.
- Seriously. - "Rainrainbig". "Raintcoin"?
- "Raintcoin"? - It's summer, so "Rain Noodles"?
"Rain Noodles"? We can't do that.
Stop saying things like, "Running Through the Rain".
"Running Through the Rain". "Rainmergency Exit".
No way, no.
(Let's attack the next target!)
- "Rain Noodles". - This isn't good.
- It's summer. "Rain Noodles". - Yes, "Rain Noodles".
They're starting with me now.
They're saying things like...
Who just said "U-do"?
Don't send in things like that.
- I don't want to be "U-do". - I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
- Yes, it's because of you. - It's my fault.
"Gasoline Yoo"?
Just pour gasoline in the music industry.
We can pour gasoline all over and light them on fire.
- Okay? - What?
- It'll be a mess. - Pour gasoline.
- I'll go with that. - Then make them wet their pants.
- I'll go with that. - What?
U-Doragon.
- That's not bad. - U-Doragon.
- That's not bad. - That's perfect.
- That's it. - That's not bad.
- My gosh, this is... - That's not bad.
Go with U-Doragon. You won't find anything better.
And ask G-Dragon for some advice...
- on your style. - Wait.
I'm not Dragon.
I'm Do-ragon. U-Doragon.
- Oh, it's "Do"? - I'm U-Doragon.
(Hello, I'm G-Dragon.)
(Hello, I'm U-Doragon.)
- Is that better than Yu Typhoon? - Yes, that sounds better.
Okay, then.
We have to do as Linda says.
Then I'll go with U-Doragon.

(Alter ego: B-Dragon)

SSAK3 sounds great.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you.
We truly thank you.
It's a name that makes all of us happy.
Thank you so much, and...
(Linda doesn't speak good Korean.)
I'll make sure I try my best to make everyone...
wet their pants with this group.
I'll make sure I show you that.
- That's her alter ego. - Yes.
- This is Linda. - Yes.
We have over 95,000 people watching us.
Really? My goodness.
Everyone.
This is when we should show them a dance to celebrate.
- What now? We're doing something? - When we have 100,000 viewers,

- This is a great name. - Yes.
Isn't it? SSAK3 is such a great name.
Then let's perform "Kung Ddari Sha Bah Rah".
Let's do this.
(The viewers are expecting a lot from them.)
We didn't prepare much.
Summer will begin very soon,
- but let's keep it cool. - Let's SSAK3!
(They show an awesome group dance from the start.)
(Look at Linda G.)
(- Linda G is the center. - You can't get excited already.)
(They had to do this in the spot, but they're in great harmony.)
Let's go.
(Is he like Kim Jong Min?)
(- U-do is great at singing live. - I love U-Doragon.)
(She's dancing exactly to the lyrics.)
(Kung ddari sha bah rah)
(Bba, bba, bba, bba)
(It's the center of SSAK3, Linda G's turn.)
(I'll go to your salon when I'm in LA.)
(- I love your hairstyle. - Is Linda the rapper?)
(It's like that for anyone That's how the world works)
(The viewers sing with them.)
(- Bba, bba, bba. - Jumping, jumping.)
- Thank you! - Everyone!
Thank you so much for coming out to see us.
- We're SSAK3. - SSAK3.
- SSAK3! - SSAK3!
(We're SSAK3!)
(- Don't go. - Encore, encore.)
(Sing one more song.)
(Linda comforts the viewers.)
That's good. That's good.
(Random dance)
- Thank you. - Goodbye!
Bye!
(SSAK3 sends out a request for their lead song.)
(There's a dove here.)
(These doves brought perfect songs for SSAK3.)
(The seagull sound?)
(SSAK3 is immersed in summer dance music.)
Gosh, this beat makes my heart race.
(Songwriters made a request.)
(Show us how you can rap.)
(Is Linda really from abroad?)
My day is going crazy.
You're going to rap and dance? You want to do everything?
(I'm the main vocalist.)
Baby, baby, baby.
(Linda G goes to see Code Kunst on her own.)
(Just make a song for Linda G.)
(B-Dragon came to meet another songwriter.)
(Don't forget your 20 rules: You're banned from "Break it down.")
(20 rules: Do not produce your own music.)
