Damn Idol - Chapter 168



Only Noblemtl

Episode 168

At this point, PD Kang Seok-woo’s experience stood out.

PD Kang Seok-woo, who changed the main concept of the program to ‘economic activities of unknown singers’, began to show and alternately.

After showing Lee Ion and Koo Tae-hwan getting no response at busking, they showed them flying around at university festivals and events.

It showed people passing by indifferently on the street and fans cheering at a concert, and compared Choi Jae-sung, who has a personal broadcast with 0 viewers, with Choi Jae-sung, who has a live broadcast for 3 months and 100 days.

Self Made is, after all, an entertainment program.

The essence of entertainment programs is the fun that the viewers feel, and in order to feel fun, they need to wish the guests well.

However, if we highlight the merits of the cast too much and make it look like a promotional video, it becomes artificial.

So, PD Kang Seok-woo subtly but consistently showed the strengths of Se Dal Baek Il by alternating between light and dark.

-Hey, you’re practicing hard.

-Did you just hear Onsemi’s part? He sings like a crazy person.

-Even so, in front of Han Si-on, he is just an ordinary person.

-Even so, once you go outside, you’ll just be unknown lol

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Can these guys make money?

-I thought about it while watching the program, but isn’t there really no way for an unknown singer to make money in a short period of time? At best, it’s something like an offline competition, right?

-ㅇㅇㅇ It’s not like I can be invited to the event.

-It’s not easy;

What viewers liked was that, despite experiencing failure for three months and a half, he continued to try to make money as an unknown singer.

As such, small losses piled up, and Sedalbaekil was down 110,000 won in just four days.

-But does Han Si-on just keep making songs?

-That might be smart. Just sell it to entertainment.

-How much do you usually get for a song like that?

At that time, Han Si-on on the screen called together the members.

[You have to decide clearly what you want to show. What did you do when you went busking?]

[It might have been okay if you had worn special makeup and had drawn out a lively response and talked to the audience. But you felt awkward for no reason and just sang quietly, right?]

[There’s no way there can be a business without a show.]

-That’s true, but don’t you think it’s teaching too much?

-You’re the leader.

-Han Shion was the leader??

-Then I thought it was someone.

-Iion.

-He’s a face leader.

-I don’t make those kinds of criticisms either. There has to be a solution.

[Then what should I do?]

[There are two ways. You can think of showings that are not based on appearance, or you can think of business that is possible without showings.]

As Han Si-on opens the door, the members of Se-dal-baek-il on the screen start talking.

[Something like a songwriting competition? It could also be a singing contest.]

[How about the webtoon OST?]

[Webtoon?]

[These days, it’s trendy to have music in webtoons, and while there are a lot of good songs, there are also a lot of disappointing songs. Webtoons are about showing off the content itself.]

[Can I play a game?]

-Oh, so that’s what the webtoon Se Dal Baek Il did.

-What does that mean?

-Not long ago, there was a flood of high-quality OSTs in webtoons. The prevailing opinion was that they were created by professional singers. I think it was these guys?

-Where can I hear it?ㅠㅠㅠ

After that, a scene was shown where the members of Sedalbaekil decided on names for their sub-characters.

In fact, this scene should have come first chronologically.

But then it is immediately revealed that Sedalbaekil created the webtoon OST.

Because the singer’s name is the name of the sub-character.

That is why PD Kang Seok-woo blurred the point of view through editing.

But there was a very important point here.

Originally, PD Kang Seok-woo planned to show the members of 3 Months and 100 Days deciding on the names of their sub-characters at the very end.

That way, we can slowly show that Onsemiro created the OST for the webtoon, Choi Jae-seong created the game’s advertising music, and Lee Ion won the grand prize at a music competition.

If we show that each and every one of them has a different sub-character name as they achieve something, we could do a retrospective like The Usual Suspects.

However, PD Kang Seok-woo changed his plan after seeing Han Si-on’s ‘big shot’.

There is no need to apply force to the front part.

Although what the members of Sedalbaekil have accomplished is amazing, it pales in comparison to what Han Si-on has accomplished.

Honestly, I’m really in a difficult situation right now.

They said that the money earned in 3 months and 100 days would be used for additional production costs… … .

‘That’s an impossible amount!’

Because I earned an absurd amount of money.

The Maginot Line for additional production costs considered by M Show was 20 million won.

As a result, PD Kang Seok-woo decided to simply leave out the success stories of the members of Se Dal Baek Il, excluding Han Si-on.

There is a separate highlight, so there is no need to emphasize the introduction.

In the meantime, the broadcast began to show the full-fledged indie musician activities of the members of Sedalbaekil.

The beginning was the youth song festival of Lee Ion, who used the stage name ‘Mimyeo’.

Lee Ion hasn’t released a proper song since the end of Coming Up Next.

While Han Si-on’s Seaside Heights video was trending on the internet, On Sae-mi graduated with honors from The Masked Singer, and Choi Jae-sung won Stage Number Zero.

If we look at the circumstances, Koo Tae-hwan is in the same situation, but the evaluation is different.

There is no one who does not know that Koo Tae-hwan is in charge of the introduction of Se Dal Baek Il, and many people were looking forward to Koo Tae-hwan’s solo song.

In contrast, there are no expectations for Ion.

In some ways, this was also due to prejudice.

The prejudice that because he is too handsome, his singing will be disappointing.

However, it was not Lee Ion’s skill that was lacking, but his tone.

At one point, Han Si-on also said, ‘Lee Ion should sing a song where he becomes the main character.’

This means that he can show off his skills sufficiently in solo songs where his vocal weaknesses are not revealed.

Even with Han Si-on’s production, it has progressed further.

In this way, the song of Lee Ion, who appeared on the stage of the youth music festival that Evening Promise participated in, was broadcast.

PD Kang Seok-woo devoted about a minute to this part, but the impact of that one minute was considerable.

-What is it?

-Hey, it’s science. How can they all get along so well?

-What kind of curse words are you talking about? LOL

-Wow, Lee Ion sings this well?

-It’s not like Lee Ion’s personal fans hate Han Si-on for nothingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If I enlist for 3 months and 100 days, will I get a buff that makes me good at singing?

-It’s strange that you say it’s a recruitment.

-Wow! I saw this! That little bastard slaughtered all his competitors and disappeared!!!!!

-Pros are different.

After receiving the prize money, Lee Ion said in front of the camera that he would make a donation while recording his earnings for the day.

This was to avoid giving the impression that the economic activities of Se-dal-baek-il were inadvertently taking away opportunities from other amateur singers.

In the meantime, Onsemiro wrote lyrics that fit the webtoon and took them to Han Si-on.

[Please make a song with this kind of feeling.]

[All five?]

[Yeah. I guess we can split the vocals?]

[Sit here.]

Han Si-on began composing the song by asking On Sae-mi exactly what she wanted.

Honestly, it was kind of funny.

-You left it there? LOL

-No, how can you do five song requests so coolly? Lol

-The point is that even at Han Si-on On Sae-mi, there is no thought at all.

Han Si-on quickly composed five melodies and asked On Sae-mi which one he liked better.

[I wish this was a bit more sad.]

[Tell me exactly. Is it earnest, is it desperate?]

[Um… … . Then earnestly.]

-What’s the difference;

-Something earnest is something you wish for earnestly, and something desperate is something you wish for desperately. Are you stupid?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[I wish the melody change here was a bit more dramatic.]

[As the pitch goes up? Or as it goes down?]

[Wouldn’t it be better to go down? It’s a bit nerve-wracking.]

[okay.]

At first, viewers were happily watching On Sae-mi and Han Si-on’s work, but the atmosphere quickly changed.

-Do other composers do the same thing? Or is Han Si-on special?

-I’m majoring in music at a music school, and that’s something special about Han Si-on; no, even the expression “special” isn’t enough.

-Could it be that all the songs of Sedalbaekil were created so simply?

-Will the result be good?

-If those are the webtoon OSTs I know, that would be great;

It was because Han Si-on’s tremendous talent was felt through the screen.

PD Kang Seok-woo was greatly impressed when he saw this scene, and he thought the viewers would feel the same way.

So I showed Han Shion’s work log sequentially, letting him know that there was no time jump.

In fact, it only took Han Si-on three hours to create the demo versions of these five songs.

In this way, five songs were created in no time and recording began.

Originally, Onsemiro was going to sing all five songs, but there was an opinion that the songs might not sell regardless of their quality.

So in the end, all five of us recorded, and Han Si-on’s directing was broadcast.

Viewers found Han Si-on’s directing interesting.

Ordinary directing tends to be a bit vague, unless it’s an easy part where you need to establish a beat or rhythm.

In a way that makes the feeling more vivid.

But it wasn’t Han Zion.

He presented a very clear methodology.

[Ah- Ah- What is between these two sounds?]

[Ah- Is this it?]

[So what is the sound that creates that note and perfect harmony?]

[Ah- Ah- Is this it?]

[Yes, you have to play within that range. You act like you’re going out of that range, but ultimately, the melody has to come out within that range.]

[Ah, I got it. Okay.]

In particular, the part where Lee Ion and Han Si-on completely change the feeling of the song with just a few words is fun to watch no matter how many times I watch it.

By then, the viewers had realized.

The self-made they are watching now is not the story of an unknown singer’s struggles.

This is the success story of a singer with tremendous talent and skill.

At that time, the OST of the webtoon that Onsemiro had first created began to flow.

As many viewers had guessed, it was the song that was included in Min Hee-young’s Monday webtoon.

-Hey, you crazy!

-It’s a secret!

-The maze was a whole new maze ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Somehow ㅠㅠㅠ I started crying as soon as I heard the songㅠㅠ It was a song sung by my favorite singerㅠㅠㅠㅠ

The broadcast’s power was so strong that accessing the corresponding episode of the webtoon was a bit laggy.

Behind the scene where Onsemiro sends emails to five webtoon writers.

[Yeah!]

[WOW!]

Suddenly, two men wearing masks appeared in front of the camera.

The composition makes it look as if thieves are loitering in front of a security camera.

[I found a way to do this without using special makeup.]

[From now on, we are masked robbers.]

-omg!!

-F*ck, I got goosebumps from the indie thugs passing by. Were these guys the masked robbers?

-Wow, these guys were really popular in Hongdae recently, but then they suddenly disappeared.

-Wow; How much have you done in the past three months?

Lee Ion and Koo Tae-hwan proudly wore masks and rode the subway.

The point was that people were openly watching Lee Ion and Koo Tae-hwan, and the cameraman filming them was embarrassed.

The moment when Lee Ion and Gu Tae-hwan arrive at Hongdae.

The program logo appears.

Se and lf were split, and a letter was inserted in between.

If made in three months and one hundred days.

Episode 1 had just aired.
