WE'RE HALFWAY THERE
THE MONTHLY EVALUATION
SUPPORT FROM A CLOSE FRIEND
COLLABORATION WITH NEW FRIENDS
AND HELP FROM OLD FRIENDS
It's just difficult to write lyrics.
Melodies aren't easy either,
but thinking of words to go with them?
So difficult.
Lyrics.
Writing good lyrics
is my biggest homework right now.
I can't sleep these days
because of all these ideas in my head.
THE ROOKIE IS STRUGGLING WITH INSOMNIA
JUNGSANG PRODUCTIONS MEETING
I can't record anything
because I don't have the lyrics down.
The lyrics?
Are they not flowing?
No, I have to fix them.
Ms. Kim Ea-na, the lyricist,
actually offered to help you write lyrics.
If you wouldn't mind,
I'd like to help with the lyrics.
AT THE MONTHLY EVALUATION
This song has a lot of potential.
The melody could turn out great
with the right lyrics.
There are a lot of people
I could call for help.
ARE THERE?
There's Hyo-shin.
I want to ask him for advice.
THE GODS HAVE COME TO HIS RESCUE
I admire Hyo-shin as a musician,
and Gummy is
one of the best vocalists in Korea.
I love her as a musician.
MELODIES FROM THE BEST VOCALIS
That's what I'm talking about, Hyo-shin.
I just love the song.
I wish you'd teach me, Jung-seok.
Teach you what?
-What are you on about?
-Acting?
Hyo-shin.
Jung-seok always says
he wants to learn singing from you.
Whenever I listen to your songs,
-Ji-yeon says
-What the heck are you doing?
Are you flirting?
-You're worshipping each other nonstop.
-We're sorry.
We're sorry, Ea-na.
This is fun.
A-LIST TO PLAYLIS
WITH THE GOD OF FLIRTING
NO, THE GOD OF MUSIC
Hello, everyone.
You don't have to do that.
I forgot. This isn't that kind of show.
I'm just nervous.
I'm working with my wife
for the very first time.
I'm a bit nervous.
Hello.
Hello.
Can I say hello?
Hi.
GUMMY (PARK JI-YEON)
KNOWN FOR: "MEMORY LOSS,"
"CHILDISH ADULT," ETC.
I'm Gummy, Jung-seok's wife and a singer.
Nice to meet you.
Honey.
-This is so awkward.
-Hey.
The car's over here.
-What a gentleman.
-Of course.
My goodness. Thank you.
You're our honored guest today.
Thank you.
-Watch your arm.
-Okay.
SWEET HUSBAND MOMEN
Oh my goodness.
This is so weird.
He's really like a rookie singer.
He comes to bed to sleep,
but he's gone when I wake up.
He spends all night working.
He's really into it.
He's always working on his music.
I can tell how invested he is
and how serious he is about music
and this project.
I'd love to give him
the advice that he needs
and actually work with him
to make this process more fun,
but I've been very busy
taking care of our child right now.
I kind of feel bad
that I can't help out more.
I'd love to be more involved.
We've never been
on a show together, have we?
-This is a first.
-It is.
Thank you so much.
-You don't have to be thankful.
-But I am.
The great Gummy is here.
Gosh, you flatter me.
I'm just your favorite musician.
Although I am the best one in the house.
Right.
OFF TO MEET THE GOD OF LYRICS
I think it's over that way.
Is that where the studio is?
Hello. Look, they recognize us.
SAYING HI TO FANS DRIVING BY
How did they know?
I thought they were someone you knew.
There they are.
-Goodness.
-Ea-na!
-Hello.
-Hello.
KIM EA-NA, LYRICIS
KNOWN FOR: "GOOD DAY,"
"YOU & I," "I AM," ETC.
-Long time no see.
-Ea-na!
I can't believe it.
Ea-na was in charge of A&R for my albums
back when I was signed with YG.
A&R: PLANNING THE PRODUCTION
OF ARTISTS AND ALBUMS
She had a very positive influence on me,
and we've been close friends since then.
I've been well.
-We talk about you all the time.
-Really?
-All the time.
-I bet your ears were burning.
We always talk about
how we should hang out.
And here we are.
I've never even done a show with you.
-I know.
-But I'm here for your husband's show.
-Yes, for the second time.
-I can't thank you enough.
-No problem at all.
-My goodness.
I'm happy to help.
Do you see Hyo-shin often?
I do, yes.
Our studios are close by.
ANOTHER GOD OF MUSIC WILL JOIN THEM
-They really love each other.
-I see.
Hyo-shin likes Jung-seok
more than he likes me.
I wonder how many times
they'll say they love each other.
-Do they say that?
-You'll see.
I do love him.
Hyo-shin's like a golden retriever.
Wouldn't you agree?
He really is.
Right? He even walks like one.
Totally.
TIME TO MEET THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER
We're here.
I think he's already outside.
RETRIEVER STEPS
-Bro.
-Jung-seok.
Hyo-shin.
Hey, Jung-seok.
I missed you.
-Thank you so much.
-Don't mention it.
Hello, I'm Park Hyo-shin.
I absolutely adore Jung-seok.
PARK HYO-SHIN
KNOWN FOR: "SNOW FLOWER," "WILD FLOWER,"
"BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW," "GOODBYE," ETC.
And he's now the husband
of an old friend of mine.
I came on the show
hoping that I could help him
in any possible way.
Hyo-shin is honestly
one of my favorite musicians.
Back when Gummy and I
kind of had feelings for each other
but weren't actually dating yet,
she said she was
having a drink with Hyo-shin
someplace nearby me,
and I really wanted to be there.
To see whom, you ask?
Both of them.
Anyway, I asked her
if I could join them.
Thankfully, Hyo-shin liked me too,
and we quickly became close friends.
I missed you.
-Thank you so much.
-Don't mention it.
-I didn't get much sleep though.
-I love you.
Love you too.
-Over here.
-This one?
-Yes, come here.
-Goodness.
-The superstar is here.
-Look how lightly dressed he is.
Get in already.
Hurry up.
You look like a superstar.
-I did what I could.
-Ever the diva.
-Been a while since you've met people?
-Yes.
-I knew it.
-I don't usually do this kind of stuff.
-No.
-I know.
But I came without a second thought
because I wanted to see you guys.
My daughter's always looking
at the picture you drew.
How is little Ye-won doing?
-She's doing good.
-She must be so big now.
-She's really big now.
-My goodness.
Hyo-shin drew a portrait of Ye-won.
-I did.
-We still have it.
-He's a great artist.
-I'd ask her,
"Who drew this?"
And she says, "Mommy's friend."
We keep it in a spot in our basement
so that when we have guests over,
-everyone can see it.
-Wasn't it on the couch?
-Right in the middle.
-Yes, it is.
We didn't even hang it.
-We just keep it on the couch.
-Yes.
You guys don't have to
go home tonight, do you?
Wait, where are you taking us?
-Are we being kidnapped?
-We just don't want you to leave.
KIDNAPPED TO THE STUDIO
My studio is great.
-I wanted to have you guys over.
-I'm excited.
-I'm curious about this project.
-Me too.
You're in for a surprise.
-Prepare to be amazed.
-No.
Ea-na has already heard my songs.
-I did.
-But you've improved since then.
There's one amazing song.
-Really?
-Remember all the feedback
that you and the others gave him?
I think that really helped him.
He's such a quick learner.
-Stop it.
-Okay.
Am I overdoing it?
-Yes!
-I'll just say you're terrible.
-Don't build up their expectations.
-This is nice.
He even went to the salon today.
He never does for this show.
Don't tell them that.
-That's not even
-They should know.
It is pretty obvious.
-But
-They should know how committed you are.
I was actually surprised
because I didn't expect him
to be all dolled up.
That's how serious he is about this.
He's nervous, and so am I.
It took a while for me
to pick out my outfit too.
I've been in my closet since yesterday.
You went all out.
-I've never seen you wear so many rings.
-I haven't been out for a while.
That's why I'm wearing sunglasses too.
-Really?
-Are your eyes okay?
They're all puffy
-because I had a cold recently.
-We'll see later.
How long has it been since your debut?
Twenty-five years this year.
I've been around for as long as you have.
-Twenty years?
-Twenty years last year.
0 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
-Wow.
-Since you debuted as a lyricist, right?
Such veterans.
Hyo-shin's been around the longest.
But Ji-yeon was already famous
before her debut.
She just decided to debut a bit later.
I'm surrounded by masters.
I'm even living with one.
I know. You're living with a master.
-You're silly.
-I'm so lucky
to have you in my life.
WELCOME, MASTERS
-We're here.
-Is this it?
It looks like a café.
Wow.
Look at all this condensation.
Goodness.
-Wow.
-Here we are.
-Amazing.
-This place is nicer than our house.
-You're unbelievable.
-Come on, it's not like that.
I always wondered
why he came home so late.
This place is great.
That's so funny.
So this is where I work.
"Ji-eun was here."
A MUST-SEE SPO
IU came by a while ago.
-You should write something too.
-Wow, really?
His guest lineup is insane.
Please have a seat.
-This takes me back.
-I love this.
-I can't believe we're all hanging out.
-I know.
-Good to see you.
-Likewise.
-All right.
-Thank you for coming.
I'm so glad Ea-na mentioned pizza earlier.
-This is perfect.
-I know.
-Eat something, Ji-yeon.
-I am eating.
Want some chicken?
-Yes, please.
-Are you always so polite?
-Yes.
-Goodness.
Back when we were dating,
I asked her why she was
always so formal with me.
I almost felt rude.
You know, it was weird.
-She was so polite, but I was
-Casual.
That's just how I am.
I don't know if I can
talk to him so casually.
-A lot of married couples do that.
-Maybe I've gotten used to it.
I hear it prevents fights from escalating.
It definitely doesn't develop further.
-"Develop?"
-Do you even have fights?
Not really.
I tend to be
an obedient husband.
Ji-yeon is very wise,
so I usually listen to her.
She always has been.
A lot of people expect Jung-seok
to always be cheerful and talkative,
but he's quiet and serious
about 80% of the time.
-He's not that talkative.
-In general?
Yes.
Is it usually quiet at your place?
It is. Even more so nowadays,
since he's always working on his songs.
-He must be busy.
-He is.
Let me just pull up the songs for you.
He cracks me up.
I was kind of nervous.
Gummy and the rest of them
are these amazing artists.
MEGA-HIT LYRICIS
FINAL BOSS SINGER
GOD AMONGST VOCALISTS
AND A ROOKIE SINGER
I was curious to find out
what they had to say,
but I was also embarrassed,
so I wanted to get it over with.
I had all sorts of mixed feelings
about the whole situation.
How do you feel?
Is that a microphone?
I'm very excited and nervous.
You've gotten a lot more confident.
-I see that too.
-Right.
This is him being very confident.
-I agree.
-Totally.
I want to hear everything.
As for the first song,
the lyrics are still in the works.
Anyway, here we go.
-I'm nervous.
-I know.
"CHAMPAGNE (WORKING TITLE)"
LYRICS AND MUSIC BY CHO JUNG-SEOK
Love it.
-I love it already.
-Do you like it?
I thought you might.
You should have written
lyrics like these to begin with.
Let's drink the night away
You've got to let loose sometimes
Oh my love
Tonight is your night
Let's lose ourselves tonight
And laugh
You know you're good enough
Just the way you are, oh yeah
And then it's the outro.
Why am I explaining it?
That's actually helpful.
-Really?
-Yes.
Especially when it's not complete.
I get really talkative.
-Don't even get me started.
-I can't stop talking.
It's a song of consolation.
Back when my wife
was carrying our daughter,
I felt bad for her
and wanted to console her.
That was the inspiration behind this song.
"You did so well today."
"Tonight is your night."
And after that, it's just
-Ad-libs.
-Yes, that just keeps going.
I love this one.
-Really?
-It's so good.
What I love is
how champagne is introduced as a sound.
I like that first line too.
As the champagne pops to a fizz
-His voice is perfect for that line.
-He's so good.
There are a few bits
I want to point out.
I should take notes.
Where's my pencil case?
Where are you?
If I were you, I would revise the line,
"The sound embraces you."
-All right.
-Where? "Embraces you"?
You mean the second line.
You could say something like
"I see you smiling"
or "I can see your smile."
Describe the other person.
Yes, so we know someone's there.
THE FEEDBACK SESSION BEGINS
It lets you picture this person.
You guys are amazing.
Can I just say what's on my mind?
-That's what I did.
-Of course.
Can I speak freely?
But I don't want him to change too much
because of me.
That's exactly what you're here for.
Okay, so this is my personal opinion,
but the drink is mentioned too often,
so I'd replace the last line.
Something like,
"May the long nights keep you cozy."
-That would make it
-Get away from the drink.
-That would sound more sentimental.
-I agree.
Once you change that part,
personally
-Okay, personally?
-Keep the "personally" coming.
I think the change would
make it more emotional.
Right?
You talk about
how meaningful this night is
because the drink part
is already established.
WRITING EVERYTHING DOWN
-Look at him.
-Personally.
Personally.
-That's so catchy. "Personally."
-Personally.
-If I were you
-If I were you
I'm not saying you should do this.
SUDDENLY BACKING OU
I tend to be very reserved
when it comes to voicing my opinion.
But I love Jung-seok very much,
so if my opinion can help him in any way,
it's a good enough reason
to be more vocal.
PERSONALLY
IF I WERE YOU
"If I were you," ladies and gentlemen.
He changed it to "If I were you."
A VERY HYO-SHIN THING TO SAY
I think the "good enough" part
could also be improved.
There must be a better way to put it.
Maybe something
more direct than "good enough."
Actually, "good enough" is a phrase that
It means something to you, doesn't it?
I actually wrote that line
-with Ji-yeon in mind.
-Of course.
It's from one of our conversations.
-Oh my goodness.
-Really?
-That's why I stayed quiet.
-I said "personally."
-I'm a terrible person.
-No, I am.
GOOD LORD
-How dare you?
-I didn't know.
She always says things like,
"I feel like I'm not good enough
to be a mom."
And naturally,
I'm the one she talks to about that.
So I'd tell her, "Don't say that."
"You're more than good enough.
You're already a great mom."
That's how it came to be.
Anyway, that was it.
I just wanted to let you know the context.
I like sharing my own story
through my music too.
It's so meaningful.
You could consider placing it
in another part
without as much emphasis.
Just an idea.
-Right. Placement matters.
-Yes.
Having a phrase like that
when the song is building up
diminishes the magical quality
that comes before it.
I don't think I could give him such advice
even if I wanted to.
-I understand.
-You know how it is.
-It's hard when it's your family.
-Exactly.
Plus, I know exactly
where he gets these ideas from.
Whenever my husband
makes suggestions about my lyrics,
I can't help but react emotionally.
I get upset.
WHAT?
-Because he should know what you meant?
-I'm not sure.
When someone else gives me feedback,
I rarely get offended.
But when it's my husband, it's a bit
So he does it via email now.
Ji-yeon has actually been very supportive.
I play my songs
and ask her for advice when I'm home,
and she always tells me they're good.
-So I keep asking her if she means it.
-I do.
Sometimes, I'd feel bad
about bothering her so much.
-I get it.
-This is hilarious.
I would sit next to her,
have my song playing on my phone,
and just go about my day.
-And he watches my reaction.
-That's how I play it for her.
He plays it for me, he says.
I haven't started writing the lyrics
for this next song yet.
I only have the melody.
The genre is city pop.
CITY POP?
It didn't start off
as a city pop song at first.
THE NIGHT OF JUNGSANG PRODUCTIONS
COMPANY RETREA
Do you know this chord progression?
-Second, fifth, and the root.
-Yes.
-It's a popular one, right?
-It is.
"Two-five-one." That's a common one.
This is how it goes in D minor.
IT STARTED FROM A CHORD PROGRESSION
D minor
I mean
I wasn't too familiar with city pop,
but I thought its style
might work with this song,
with some brass instruments.
Something like that.
That's how that song started.
"CITY POP (WORKING TITLE)"
MUSIC BY CHO JUNG-SEOK
He does all sorts of genres.
-He has everything.
-Right?
-He really loves his brass.
-I know.
-This is good. Keep going.
-This is right up Hyo-shin's alley.
It goes like that.
-Keep going.
-I mean
I don't have the whole melody yet.
I love it so far.
-Is that it?
-It's a work in progress.
Such a variety of genres.
-Right?
-I know.
But because Jung-seok's voice
has such a strong presence,
if he doesn't try many different genres
-People might get bored.
-Exactly.
When IU came over, she suggested
You know how my music
is more on the happy side?
So she told me to try a "bad boy" persona.
She said I should write songs
that are more on the badass side.
I love that idea.
He can actually pull off
a great bad guy voice.
-Totally.
-I have played bad guys a few times.
Like your character
from Don't Dare to Dream.
-In the beginning.
-Absolutely.
I never talked like, "Hey."
It was more like, "Hey."
Or something like, "Hey!"
-That was charming.
-When I talked to Pyo Na-ri.
I actually thought
that I'd hit a dead end here.
I've played both bad guys and good guys,
but with music,
I need to come up with a story
and sing it as well.
So I want to try
being a bad guy in a song,
but I couldn't seem to
come up with a scenario
that I can base the lyrics on.
But I'm kind of into the idea.
At this point, I know him too well,
so I know that he can't be a bad guy.
It's just not in his nature.
But before we started dating,
he did confuse me sometimes.
-Did he really?
-Yes.
Why would you bring that up?
-That was when
-What happened?
Isn't this what you want to know?
Tell us. I'm so curious now.
-About this "bad guy" thing
-Hold on.
-What's that face you're making?
-Hang on.
Wait.
Ji-yeon, are you sure
you want to talk about this?
Just how bad were you?
What do you think I'm talking about?
BAD GUY
There was someone
who really wanted us to be together.
Whenever we'd meet up,
they'd always invite Jung-seok.
But he would go, "Why are you calling me?"
"I'm busy working."
But he'd always show up.
I mean
-Always.
-After saying he's busy?
-Yes.
-Did you two not keep in touch?
Well, he did.
It's like he put up an invisible wall.
He's pretending he's not here.
He kept in touch once in a while.
How often is "once in a while"?
Once every month or two.
No wonder you didn't know
that he had feelings for you.
What are you talking about?
-You're such a prude.
-What?
CLUELESS ABOUT DATING
You have no idea.
Isn't that how it is?
But hear me out.
If a guy doesn't call
for a couple of months
If someone calls you once every month
without a good reason,
there's a 100% chance they like you.
-Really?
-It's 100%, you dummy.
See, I'm clueless.
So this kept going on for a while
until one day,
he invited me to this gathering
with the whole cast and crew of his film.
That's basically a marriage proposal.
-Hold on.
-Let's hear from Jung-seok at this point.
I was there with Song Kang-ho at the time,
as well as Han Jae-rim,
director of The Face Reader.
-But the thing is
-Don't you want to know
what he said about you
before you showed up?
I actually have no idea.
He probably said I was a friend.
Do you really think they didn't know?
This is getting interesting.
What did you tell them?
Well
I already had feelings for her.
-Obviously.
-I did.
I did have feelings for her,
but I tried to curb them.
You already had feelings for me back then?
-He wouldn't have called you otherwise.
-Hold on.
I've actually been in similar situations
before Jung-seok.
-What?
-Hang on.
Wait, I just meant
Not with other male actors.
People from other fields.
You never told me this.
No way, we've talked about this.
I'm a singer, but I'm curious
about how other industries work.
-You mean inviting you to work gatherings?
-Yes.
I thought you meant
someone you had feelings for
had made a move like I did.
No way.
-I was so confused.
-Come on, man.
Okay, go on.
That was the day
I really started having feelings for him.
-Really?
-Yes.
He just looked totally different.
I find inner masculinity to be attractive.
-I know you do.
-Right?
And he was so
As you know, I'm very masculine.
Who are you talking to?
Are we on House of Cards?
That's when I saw
that he had a lot of qualities
that I liked.
And then that thing happened.
He stopped calling me on a regular basis.
-After inviting you?
-Yes, exactly.
That was a stressful time for me.
And then I found out
-What did you find out?
-Guys.
Will you give me a chance to explain?
What did she find out?
Everything she said is true.
-Where is this going?
-Please explain.
I acted the way that I did
because I had made
a promise to myself
to never date anyone.
The thing is
-Did you have a reason?
-I did.
I was in the process of taking my career
from stage to camera,
and I'm a firm believer in the rule,
"If you're going to do something,
do it right."
So I didn't want to date anyone
when I couldn't do that.
I didn't want to burden anyone.
But then
Your heart disagreed.
Whenever I saw her,
I'd be attracted to her.
I could tell her to stop calling,
but then I'd find myself with her.
This is the highlight of this story.
I met her one day,
and she told me we should stop.
-She told me not to call her.
-It was too hard.
That's why I called him.
I got the feeling
she was cutting me out of her life.
When she said that,
all the concerns in my heart
suddenly went away.
That was the day
we officially started dating.
-Really?
-That's it. I'm embarrassed.
The point is, he could never be a bad guy.
I have one song left.
I kept this one for last
because it means the most to me.
I'm thinking of turning it into a duet.
-Really?
-Yes.
Why do you want it to be a duet?
I just got the impression
that this is a sophisticated song.
It's weird to say about my own work,
but I was imagining how it would sound
with some vintage instruments,
and I thought it'd sound cooler as a duet.
And you want to sing it with me?
That's why I asked.
That's what I wanted to know.
We duet all the time at home.
Gummy and I both thought
performing a duet together
would be a nice surprise to our fans
as well as the public.
I had no idea how many people wanted us
to do a duet together.
So we've been thinking
that it would be the right thing to do.
So when he pitched the idea,
I thought about it,
and I thought it'd be nice.
She was the first person I thought of,
for obvious reasons.
This is the first song
I wrote for this show.
You might be a bit confused
when you hear it,
but here goes.
"I JUST WANNA LOVING (WORKING TITLE)"
LYRICS AND MUSIC BY CHO JUNG-SEOK
I see you smiling in the faded picture
It fades further away as time goes by
The demo had all English lyrics.
I remember reading the lyrics.
The tan on my face
And the memories with you
They all go away too fast
Is that him playing the electric guitar?
-Is it?
-Yes, I played it.
-How do you know how to play like that?
-I know.
He practiced it for Hospital Playlist.
The way he played it
a bit laid-back was great.
-I love that.
-He's a natural.
My broken English is so embarrassing.
He's good at this too.
I don't know how he does it.
You're like a proud mom
talking about her kid.
-No, but seriously.
-Totally.
"My son's a genius!"
You sound like his agent.
No.
Even when we were dating,
I'd tell him that all the time.
That was it.
That was the end.
But the drums just came in.
-I was just getting into it.
-Sorry.
I was grooving.
Now I feel bad.
Writing a duet is hard,
and it's not just the lyrics.
This is the song
I'm having the most trouble with.
If I were you, I'd focus on the song form.
"If I were you," ladies and gentlemen.
He changed it to "If I were you."
If I were you.
From "personally" to "if I were you."
A bit more assertive.
You should make a clear separation
between the male parts
and the female parts.
Like a verse for each?
Yes, you should tell the story,
with Gummy only chiming in
-when her part comes along.
-You're absolutely right.
You can't sing together
all throughout the song.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm serious.
Obviously, I'd really have to listen to
and study the song more.
The line "Tell me, tell me loud"
won't be going anywhere.
I like it where it is.
I think that line should be
saved for later
-because it leads to the core message.
-Right.
So it should only come out
when it's absolutely necessary.
-I should write this down.
-Wait, no.
I think this song
requires some strategic planning.
What do you guys think
about us doing a duet with this song?
Singing a duet with one's spouse
is a beautiful idea,
and his wife happens to be Gummy.
HAPPENS TO BE THE GOD AMONG VOCALISTS
Which is why I think it'd be really cool
to have her appear as a surprise.
Back when Tiger JK released a new song
featuring his wife, Yoon Mi-rae,
after a long break,
I went, "Holy crap, she's amazing!"
Her part wasn't even that long.
It was short,
but it made a huge difference.
-If I were you, I'd choose
-A different song?
-A song that could have such an impact.
-Yes.
When Gummy's part starts,
it has to have that impact.
That's how it should be.
I guess you have some thinking to do.
I guess we'll have to try it.
I see you smiling
The problem is
that I don't have time to do this.
I have too much on my plate
with our daughter.
The chord progression is really nice.
It's a riff on its own.
You can definitely sound trendy.
When we're hanging out together,
he'd play the guitar,
and I'd just start humming melodies to it.
He wrote a lot of songs that way.
That's how we did this one.
-Why didn't we listen to that?
-Which one?
I'm about to play it for you now.
At first, it goes
"DEMO WITH GUMMY" (2017)
MUSIC BY CHO JUNG-SEOK
One more time.
-Something like that.
-That's it.
-That's how it goes.
-I'm drunk.
I'm just going to share
my initial take on it.
I've never really pictured you
singing a song of this sort,
-but I think it'd be great in your album.
-Of course.
A cool melody just popped up in my mind.
Let me get this melody down
before I forget it.
-If you think it'd be helpful, that is.
-Please. I'd love that.
HYO-SHIN DECIDES TO RECORD HIS MELODY
Can you play it back
from when the drums come in?
-He just came up with a melody.
-Goodness.
I can't believe it.
Once he gets going,
there's no stopping him.
I already hit "record."
This is my idea. Listen.
After that, Gummy should go
After that, you can come in with
Tell me, tell me loud
Right after that.
Wow, I love that.
It sounds good enough for Gummy now.
It's just something
that popped into my head.
I got so excited
that I named the file "Pork Hyo-shin."
-"Pork Hyo-shin."
-I meant to type "Park."
I like this idea.
Because the "Tell me loud" part
is fixed where it is,
and your melody flows very well with that.
Everything sounds great when you sing it.
I only thought of it
because Jung-seok's song was good.
Are you saying you like my song?
That's what I'm talking about, Hyo-shin.
I just love the song.
The chord progression
is nothing like I've heard before.
It's very unique.
-Gummy's getting excited again.
-Sorry.
These are the key phrases of tonight.
"Personally" and "Proud Mom."
TIME FOR THE AFTER-PARTY
WITH THE CREW
What I'm really jealous about is
that you get to experiment with your songs
before the public has made
any judgment about your music
and then actually release the album.
I think that's amazing.
I'm still just a novice,
so I want to try everything I can.
-Just like I how I try different roles.
-I can tell you're serious about this.
Once I started, I kept wanting to do more.
HE GETS TO TRY EVERYTHING
AS THIS IS HIS FIRST TIME
I know Ea-na gets this.
When you're writing lyrics,
you can't avoid writer's block.
-It's really tough.
-Seriously.
That's why I respect Ea-na.
I have a lot of respect for her too.
Are we taking turns
complimenting each other?
No, I just have so much respect for you.
-I just
-Is it my turn now?
OKAY, SO THIS IS HAPPENING
When I work alone and hit writer's block,
I get this burning urge
to find the right words for this melody.
That's when I meet up with Ea-na
and work together.
I think I can get too technical sometimes.
But working with Hyo-shin
gets me back on track
in terms of delving into the message.
-That's nice.
-We have that synergy.
I wish you'd teach me, Jung-seok.
HYO-SHIN IS FANBOYING AGAIN
Hyo-shin.
Jung-seok always says
that he wants to learn singing from you.
Whenever I listen to your songs,
-Ji-yeon says
-What the heck are you doing?
Are you flirting?
-You're worshipping each other nonstop.
-We're sorry.
We're sorry, Ea-na.
You should go home.
We can wrap up without you.
EA-NA IS SENT AWAY FOR THEIR LOVE
AND SO SHE LEF
I'm leaving soon too.
Just one more drink. Right, Jung-seok?
Of course.
Come here, Hyo-shin.
LAST DRINK FOR REAL
-My love.
-My love.
He only calls me that.
-Really?
-He's in trouble now.
You know Hyo-shin is the only man
that I call "my love," right?
Compared to my first album,
what you have is far better.
-What are you talking about?
-I'm serious.
Because back then,
I had no idea
what kind of music I wanted to make.
I didn't even think about
what I wanted to do.
When I was writing
"Wild Flower" on my own,
there was a time when I couldn't
even come up with a single word.
You know what I really needed back then?
For someone
who is nominally better than me
-To give you reassurance.
-Exactly.
To hear them say that they loved my work.
I would have felt so much better
about my work if I had that,
but no one was there for me.
So I think it's great
that you have this show
-to help you expand your horizons.
-Absolutely.
I'm actually jealous of you
and this project.
-I already like all of his work.
-Me too.
But still,
I thought it'd be nice
to give you some pointers.
-That's why
-Of course.
-Thank you so much.
-That was incredibly helpful.
It's so that your message
can reach more people's hearts.
Exactly.
You're a genius.
You're good.
Thank you.
After hearing the advice
you and Ea-na gave me,
I'm getting tons of ideas
in terms of arrangement.
I'll have to talk to Berry about it.
Another all-nighter.
Seriously,
he works until after sunrise.
That's true.
He's always in the basement.
That's his life these days.
Right, Hyo-shin.
Can I have your autograph?
Sure.
-For me.
-For you?
Write "To Jung-seok."
All right. He wrote a whole letter.
Thank you, sir.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, JUNG-SEOK.
I'M PROUD TO BE YOUR FRIEND.
Ea-na, Ji-yeon, and Hyo-shin's visit
and all the advice they gave me
taught me a lot, broadened my horizons,
and bolstered my courage for this project.
I promise to write good songs
and present them
to all of you.
