Damn Idol - Chapter 159

Fucking Idol Episode 159

* * *

Around the time Pinpoint was performed, quite a few people flocked to the Gunamdae Festival live stream.

This was thanks to the news that Sedalbaekil would mix and sing all the songs in the album, spreading in real time.

People who first heard the news thought that Sedalbaekil would sing inactive songs between active songs.

But the reality was quite the opposite.

Active songs, except for State of Mind, were minimized to the maximum, and instead, the inactive songs were given more emphasis.

Normally it would be a strange choice, but this time it was fine.

Because the songs were good.

-No, you guys are the only ones listening to this song? How selfish.

-;; You can just buy the album too.

-Hahaha just completed the order.

-What song is between Resume and Suoma??? I want to put it in Flie

-Survival Tactics and We made it!

-Oh, there were two songs?

-ㅇㅇㅇ I combined two songs into one.

-Am I the only one who keeps pulling the video and playing track 1 on repeat? I love Koo Tae-hwan so much ㅠㅠㅠ

We live in an era where it has become unfamiliar to listen to all the songs in an album.

So, singers were gradually minimizing the number of tracks in their regular albums.

However, Sedalbaekil did not hide their affection for their album.

If you can’t empathize, it’s useless narcissism, but if you can empathize, it’s a wonderful pride.

-It’s nice to see you taking pride in your own album.

-ㅇㅇㅇ The song is good. I should have listened to it when it was first released.

That’s when the pinpointing started.

It may seem absurd to start the title track near the end of a song, but Han Si-on’s mashup (the art of mixing multiple songs) was amazing.

The latter half of Pin Point connects so naturally with the latter half of State of Mind.

If you listen to it without knowing, it sounds like that’s the original song.

The song progresses from the interlude that Mary Jones praised.

Finally, we reached the chorus, and the group dance after the chorus.

And the outro.

When the album was first released, many TTs who listened to the songs carefully left comments like this.

– The part where it goes from pin point to holiday is repeating infinitely.

-What’s going on, Ion!

This meant that Hansion paid attention to the connection between Pinpoint and Holiday.

But Han Shion’s intention failed.

No, this ion failed.

To be precise, there was not enough time to achieve the intention.

So, Han Si-on modified the line he originally intended to make it easier to understand and included it in the album.

Han Shion thought this was a moderate success.

After all, what he intended was a very difficult method.

Ion blamed himself for his failure.

It was already a small part of the album, so it didn’t even fulfill its role.

But there was no reason to leave failure as a permanent failure.

Lee Ion practiced Pinpoint’s outro throughout the album’s promotional period.

The original version, not the version included in the album.

It was time for it to be revealed to the world.

♬♪♪♪♪

The pinpoint beat that had been flowing out suddenly faded away along with the last movement of the military dance.

It’s an odd expression to say that the beat has faded, but there was no other way to express it.

Because the effects that were added to enrich the sound are gone, only the core melody remains.

This wasn’t the end.

The core melody composed by Mary Jones slowly begins to break down.

The main loop breaks down and the connecting sounds disappear.

The composite sound is broken into single notes, and some of the chords that developed the song disappear.

It’s like playing a song from a broken LP.

At that moment, Ion’s voice appeared.

EHm— EHmm

Ion’s voice seeps through the disintegrating sound.

Some parts are humming.

we-

Some parts are in words from the lyrics.

Ehhmmm Tonight-

Some parts are a mix of words and humming.

In this way, Ion’s voice breathes life into the faint and scattered melody.

In the album version, this act was recreated.

That is, the main melody of the pinpoint was reproduced by inserting the voice into the scattered sounds.

Then it seems to slowly fade out, and connects to Holiday, which starts with a similar code.

Actually, this was a pretty good transaction.

It could be that Han Shi-on and Lee I-on, who are never satisfied, are strange people.

But what they’re showing us now is more than that.

Ion was not reproducing the main melody of Pinpoint.

Add new notes and create new sounds.

“… … !”

“It’s a holiday!”

The TTs on the scene scream.

Because the intro to Holiday started playing.

It happened right before my eyes, but it was like magic.

By adding Ion’s voice to the faint and scattered pinpoint sound, it became the intro to Holiday.

Both songs use similar chord progressions, but how is this possible?

And that too without any discomfort.

In the meantime, a leisurely yet solid drum sound intervenes.

While Ion’s voice continues, drums are heard, and at one moment, a beat bursts out.

It was a perfect transaction.

-Wow!

-Whaaaaaah!

With Holiday’s upbeat beat and the audience cheering as the background, Koo Tae-hwan’s introduction begins.

Today is a good day

Good day,

Start the car

The song continues with a light dance to the choreography created by Choi Jae-seong.

The sky is blue

The clouds are pure white

I feel like you and me

Lee Ion, who was singing, smiles and steps back.

Holiday, Summer Cream. Apiary.

The latter half of the album, with its three easy listening tracks, was the section most enjoyed by the general public.

In the section where Onsemiro was moving forward and Lee Ion was retreating, Han Si-on and Lee Ion’s eyes met.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

‘Are you okay?’

‘It was perfect.’

Feelings are exchanged.

While filming Coming Up Next, Han Si-on had the members of Se-dal-baek-il record the C chord.

And when I played it back at once, only Ion’s voice stood out.

The reason for doing this was to prove that Ion’s tone was not harsh and buried.

In some ways, it’s a cruel thing.

However, Han Si-on, who is serious about music, had no choice but to inform his team members of the problem.

But at that time, Han Shion did not tell everything he knew.

Ion’s tone is clearly vibrant.

It doesn’t come out.

However, once you reach a certain level of skill, you can sing like this.

‘Unrivaled tone.’

However, Han Shion thought that Ion could not reach there.

Even Han Si-on took a long time to get his voice to produce the correct notes.

I thought that it was impossible for Ion, who had not even returned, to reach it through such arduous efforts.

But Han Zion was wrong.

Lee Ion still doesn’t have a lot of space in the album and isn’t given an ordinary verse.

In order for Lee Ion’s voice to shine, the beat’s EQ still needs to be touched up and care must be taken with the arrangement.

In the past, this behavior was a consideration to hide weakness.

But now it’s different.

It is a device to highlight one’s strengths.

If only there was a device, Ion’s voice could have a unique tone.

It may be difficult for the 2nd album, but by the time the 3rd album is released… … .

‘Ion’s voice might determine the color of the album.’

Han Shion thought so.

Now, the three-month-old has two elements necessary for alum.

Koo Tae-hwan, who creates the best intros.

Ion, which creates the best transactions.

and.

There was a vocalist who reached the highest level through countless regressions.

[Gunnamdae Festival 3 months 100 days fancam]

[Idols who performed all the songs from today’s album]

[Which singer will perform an album concert after being invited to the event?]

The 37-minute, 13-song concert by Sedalbaekil became a huge hit.

The live video of Summer Cream, which people had been anticipating for a while, started to record a large number of views in an instant.

But that wasn’t all.

[Is this possible? Leeon, who creates melodies with his voice]

Lee Ion was a member who quickly rose to prominence in Se Dal Baek Il along with Han Si On due to his outstanding looks.

But it has never been musically highlighted.

Even though On Sae-mi was known as a masked singer, Choi Jae-seong was known as Stage Number Zero, and Koo Tae-hwan was known as an introduction master, it was still a story.

So today’s fancam had a bigger impact than expected.

It spread quietly but roughly, especially through idol-related communities.

But since it was a fan cam, there were some who said they couldn’t believe it.

-I’m not saying it wasn’t possible, but wasn’t AR installed too much?

-Right. This is 100% live, so it’s a fan sentiment adjustment.

Although it is clearly distinguishable on site, AR and voice are not properly distinguished through direct cam footage.

But the day after the Gunamdae Festival.

After a long time, Sedalbaekil turned on the official website’s streaming broadcast.

And then they performed a full live performance with more detail than what they had shown at the university festival.

It seemed like they had been preparing for quite some time, and they were in full swing, even changing into costumes.

Moreover, instead of running off without saying anything like at the Gunamdae Festival, they talked a lot about the song.

[During the event yesterday, we didn’t have much time. And because we ran out of time, it was difficult to add comments.]

In particular, Han Shion added a detailed explanation of Lee Ion’s transactions.

[In fact, dominant and diminished chords are used for intensity, and having a tritone causes anxiety, right? The tone of the ion type is in this regard… … .]

-What are you talking about?

-Pretend to understand. You’re so passionate.

-Wow, that’s great!

-Triton!

-Diminished!

Most people didn’t understand though.

The live broadcast that day was edited cleanly again and uploaded to the official channel of Sedalbaekil.

So, the activities were slowly coming to an end.

There were also some who said that the end of the activity was premature.

Although album sales are stagnating in Korea, weekly sales are actually increasing overseas.

This meant that there were some latecomers and that the album still had plenty of life left in it.

Moreover, even the ‘stagnant’ domestic sales volume was overwhelming compared to the album sales (excluding the first week) of some singers.

But anyway, Sedalbaekil was decided, and good news was delivered to the fans.

The fan signing event schedule will be announced within this week, and the concert will be held in accordance with the schedule when Choi Jae-sung’s Stage Number Zero ends.

* * *

Stage Number Zero, although described in a grand way when the program first started, has a simpler format than expected.

After the regional qualifiers, stage number is 100.

Just because there are 100 doesn’t mean there are exactly 100 people left. There are people who were classified similarly, so there are about 130 people left.

Here, up to stage number 50, it was a group song mission, and from 50 to 25, it was a duet mission.

It was said to be a duet, but it was no different from a one-on-one fight.

Stage number 25, which we arrived at like that.

From here on, each individual had to demonstrate their abilities as a solo singer, and it was also the time when the agencies started to make sales pitches.

Choi Jae-seong naturally settled down to stage number 25.

It seemed like I was doing my best on TV, but to be honest, it was too easy.

It was Choi Jae-seong who received directing from Han Si-on every day and matched the introduction of Koo Tae-hwan, the high notes of On Sae-mi, and the exact scale of Lee I-on.

Some missions are easier than following a guide to record an album.

And by that time, Choi Jae-seong was able to understand what Han Si-on had said.

“If our members compete fairly in the S-Num, you will rise the highest, right?”
