Fucking Idol Episode 132

* * *

There is a saying that the best of virtues is good virtue.

This term came about because Western enthusiasts immerse themselves deeply in a specific culture on a massive scale and with great expertise.

They are particularly characterized by enjoying analysis and discussion, which makes it not uncommon to find them engaging in fights over interpretations at the level of theses on forums or Internet communities.

But what if that genre is blues, deeply rooted in American culture?

What if it included Donald McGurth, the so-called blues giant?

There was no need to say more.

A fight breaks out where comments reach tens of thousands.

But this fight wasn’t about whether music was good or bad.

Because the performances of Han Si-on and Donald McGus are something that anyone who enjoys blues cannot help but immediately recognize as excellent.

The topic they were fighting about was simple.

-You can tell when you listen to the song. Donald McGus is the lead. There’s no doubt about it.

– Leading a song doesn’t mean you have a superior skill level. Look at 0:34~0:46. Donald McGus created dissonance with Zion’s guitar technique. It means he couldn’t keep up.

-Isn’t that obvious? Donald McGuss improvised, and Zion played prepared music.

-Bullshit. How do you explain 1:11-1:17? Here, McGus is messing with the Blue Note, but Zion responds right away. How is this not an improvisation?

-Agree. It’s a perfect call and response.

-Well, it is true that Zion’s improvisation is visible in this part, but it should be seen as a type of rubato.

-I agree. That part is just improvisation.

Donald McGurk and Zion.

Which of the two did better?

This was the main point.

Going a step further, the question was whether Zion’s performance was really an improvisation.

But those who participated in this debate.

Even those who just watch without participating.

We agreed on one proposition.

That’s right, Zion and Donald McGurth were musicians of equal caliber.

It was amazing.

Who was Donald McGuis?

He is a musician who debuted 48 years ago at the young age of 18 and has never once strayed from the blues scale.

In the blues genre, it was the tree with the deepest roots and the most rings.

Who is that young man who shares the melody on par with such a master?

-Zion is a legend in Seaside Heights. He won over every musician in town in just one week.

-The one time he stood on the stage at an open mic in a theater, people were blown away. He sang while playing the piano, which was better than the guitar.

-(Video) He plays the bass here. He even said that it wasn’t his bass, but a borrowed one.

There were a series of sightings that sounded like something straight out of an urban legend, but no one knew Zion’s true identity.

This was because Zion had never spoken Korean in Seaside Heights.

It was around that time that there was talk of Zion being a Japanese guitarist or a Chinese pianist.

-Wait a minute, isn’t that guy in the video on the color show Zion?

-Huh? I guess that’s right?

-No. The clothes are different.

-You can change your clothes, you idiot.

-Isn’t there a bit of an age difference? In the color show, you look like complete boys.

-Just listen to the guitar he plays at the Color Show. It’s Zion.

There was a brief back and forth, but there is a guitar part by Edo Hanshion in Sedalbaekil.

Although there are differences between electric and acoustic guitars, it was enough material for the nerds who analyze everything to analyze the technique and playing habits in detail.

-That’s right! This guy is Zion from Seaside Heights!

-The way to hold the diminished chord is the same. It’s not an open chord.

-That’s right! That’s right!

The conclusion has been reached.

The guy who came out of nowhere and turned Seaside Heights upside down, giving a performance worthy of a Donald McGee’s and a Grammy nomination in the jazz instrumental category…

-Damn. You were a K-pop artist?

-Oh, I always thought K-pop would be a big hit in America. They’re really passionate.

– Wasn’t K-pop born from mechanical training?

-It doesn’t matter if he’s a K-pop artist or not. Zion has the skills to be respected.

-So Dope, Bro.

The number of views for the color show began to rise at an incredible rate.

The number of views recorded in Korea was nothing.

The population that enjoys culture is divided into different classes.

Additionally, Colorful Struggle was the song composed by Han Si-on that stayed at the top of Billboard for the longest period of time.

It means that it is a song that perfectly suits the sensibilities of the Western world.

Although this is a version sung with Sedalbaekil, the emotion contained in the song is still the same.

-I need the sound source.

-Why the fuck isn’t Apple Music distributing this song?

-You idiots. There’s music on every platform except Apple Music.

-Why isn’t it on Apple? Is it because of Samsung?

-That sounds plausible.

-Oh, it started distribution on Apple Music. I guess it was delayed due to streaming contract issues!

-But what on earth does Sedar Back Ill mean?

-Sedar means to calm or soothe in Spanish.

-Is this supposed to soothe back pain? Something feels off.

-It would be more appropriate to interpret it as alleviating the pain of the past.

-Haha. If they were gangsters, it would mean they’re putting down their past illegal activities. Like Snoop or Pusha T.

-People who listen to hip-hop, get out.

-Am I the only one who thinks that Koo’s sense of rhythm is really special?

-I’ve never thought Asians were sexy, but Lee is really cool.

-Those who are looking at my face, get out.

-Someone recommend other songs by these guys!

At that time, Koreans who realized the situation belatedly stepped forward.

The video of Han Si-on and Se-dal-baek-il singing a song on Coming Up Next was uploaded with subtitles, and the same was true for Do.

Surprisingly, Western listeners didn’t like Seoul Town Funk very much.

Although they agreed that it was a great arrangement, the reaction was that there was no need to listen to this when there was the original song.

The song they were most excited about was Resume, and then surprisingly, Under the Streetlight.

-Oh, progressive rock, which was dead in America, has risen up and kicked the coffin lid off in Korea!

-Wow, are Korean musicians amazing? Or are these guys amazing? They really can handle so many different genres?

-Sedar is a superstar in Korea, right?

-No no. These guys debuted on a reality show that aired this year. I think they’re gaining popularity now.

-I also watched Coming up next. The subtitles are a bit old, but it was watchable. But there’s something really strange about it.

-What is it?

-Sedar lost while competing for the debut, right? But why did Sedar appear on the color show?

-Sedar lost? How good was the other team?

-It was just okay from what I heard. But the funny thing is that Chris Edwards is in it.

-What?

Seaside Heights.

Zion and Donald McGus.

Coming up next.

Songs released by Sedalbaekil so far.

No matter how you approach this issue, the destination is always a color show.

-Damn. I just heard Colorful Struggle. It’s a crazy song.

-I thought K-pop nerds were going crazy, but no. They’re crazy good.

Colorful Struggle, a rock-based contemporary R&B, has truly captured the tastes of Western listeners.

Something unbelievable happened.

Entered Billboard.

Ranked #48 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, which tallies up to 50.

It peaked at number 24 on the R&B Songs chart, which tallies up to 25 songs.

Of course, it wasn’t a major chart like the Hot 100 or Album 200.

But the R&B chart was a very major chart among the minor charts.

Even though it is a lowly place, it is not an easy place to climb.

Although the Color Show is a powerful content, appearing there did not lead to entering the Billboard.

-If the performance with Donald McGrath had been released, it would have reached number one on the jazz instrumental charts.

-#48 on the R&B chart is even greater than that.

-It’s like we put it on the charts. The nerds did it.

-I liked the song, you idiot.

American listeners who first discovered Zion were amazed.

They were just chasing a talented blues prodigy, and he made it onto the R&B charts.

But no matter how curious they are… … .

It wouldn’t be as bad as Korea.

[3 months and 100 days, entered Billboard chart at number 24!]

[Three Months and One Day, Making History on Billboard!]

Articles were published like crazy, listing the 24th place on the R&B Songs chart as if it were the Hot 100 chart.

Those who knew the exact circumstances clicked their tongues at the reporter’s pun, but the public did not.

Rather than looking into the facts, I remembered that Sedalbaekil entered the Billboard chart at number 24.

The issue is boiling over.

It’s the best, and shouldn’t we be holding on to it for three months and one hundred days right now?

Should I make a recruiting call?

This perception became widespread.

At that time, a 15-second video broadcast nationwide completely blew away the last remaining influence of Choi Max-ho.

programming advertisement.

[Isn’t that the guy who beeped?]

[I called you from beep- to beep-. Why is a professional singer here?]

While scenes that were meant to arouse curiosity quickly passed by.

Suddenly the screen slowed down.

And then… … .

[I hope you do your best.]

[I hope we win if we do.]

The complete set of Se Dal Baek Il has appeared.

This was the end of the appearance of Sedalbaekil.

After that, the only talk was about Snumzie’s broadcast schedule.

[Who will be the main character of Stage Number Zero!]

About 2-3 seconds out of a 15-second commercial.

But its destructive power was strong.

-Hey, crazy Se-dal-baek-il-sun-je, are you leaving???

-What the heckㅋㅋㅋ Are you saying Billboard’s next move is Snum?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Can’t we just give them the prize money as a win? Our kids need to film a music video for Colorful Struggles…

-I’m just a passerby. I think that’s a pretty good idea.

-Okay, SBN. Let’s make a big sacrifice. Let’s give the prize money for the survival competition to the winner for three months and one hundred days, and only pick the runner-up.

-Kkkkkkk… Is it refreshing?

-Let’s open a three-month and one-hundred-day album funding event. I’ll save up my alcohol expenses to support you.

-9 years into my life as an indie singer who ignored girl groups even in the military…. Falling for a boy group…

You could tell just by looking at the public’s reaction.

At this point, Se Dal Baek Il is the ratings cheat key and blue chip.

The critical point has been crossed.

Choi Ma-ho’s influence had disappeared without a trace.

The calls from outside sources are pouring in.

Even on public broadcasting entertainment shows, which are not easy for new idols to break through.

Finally, the news that the Sedalbaekil fandom has been eagerly waiting for has arrived.

[SBN Music Taste, Sedalbaekil appearance confirmed!]

-at las!

-Music show!!!!!!!!!!!

-It’s an escape from the Great Tiger River ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Will the government designate the workshop day as a public holiday??

But, along with that came some completely unexpected news.

[What is the song that Sedalbaekil is promoting? Colorful Struggle + pre-released song from the album]

It was an album trailer.
