Damn Idol - Chapter 171



Only Noblemtl

Episode 171

* * *

After the second episode of Self Made aired, several issues surfaced among netizens.

Broadly speaking, there were three issues.

First, music created by Choi Jae-seong through his play.

The video has already become popular on the Internet, and it is something that gamers have probably seen at least once.

This story is not limited to Silk Mall users.

Even if you don’t play games, if you enjoy games, you’ve probably seen this video on YouTube’s algorithm at least once.

This was the question the public had.

-Is this music really made only with real play sounds?

-Hey, that can’t be. I’m sure they used different instruments.

-But isn’t it hard to hear the instrument sound?

-I guess I wrote it ambiguously.

At first it seemed like a trivial issue, but it was the chronological order that made it important.

– Wasn’t this made after receiving an advertisement request?

-Backfire lol I made the music first and then added game sounds lol

The broadcast ended with the song made by Sedalbaekil becoming popular and a game company contacting them.

The broadcast ended here, but people knew what would happen next.

[What did you just say?]

[You say it’s unoriginal?]

[Is that really true?]

This was because the video advertisement for the mall where Choi Jae-seong was the advertising model began to be broadcast.

The music that came out of Self-Made was the main one.

That’s why people were suspicious.

Is this really an advertisement that appears on TV, or is it a request to use the broadcast?

If it’s the latter, it would be a manipulated broadcast, and the very purpose of the self-made program would be destroyed.

“Well, everything is controversial.”

“As much as ‘3 Months and 100 Days’ is popular, there are also many people who dislike it.”

“I know that idols get caught up in all sorts of controversies, but doesn’t this seem a bit ridiculous?”

“Hey, PD-nim. There are more serious controversies. This is a nobleman.”

“Is that so? Even so, it doesn’t seem to matter whether you use an instrument or not.”

PD Kang Seok-woo had that conversation with the main writer, but the solution was clear.

The right way.

The unedited full version of Han Si-on and Choi Jae-seong’s work video was uploaded to M Show’s YouTube channel.

If you look at it, you can see how Han Si-on used sound.

For example, Choi Jae-seong simply used the sound of a sword striking a shield as a kick drum.

However, Han Si-on used it to create various sounds by adjusting the EQ.

It can be used like a bright brass instrument by cutting the lows extremely and raising the high pitch, or it can be used like a 909 drum kit by adjusting the EQ of the low and mids well.

This is easier said than done, but it was by no means easy.

Unless you have a great sense of sound balancing, it’s bound to feel uncomfortable.

Most of the public has not seen the full version of the video that M Show uploaded.

Because people won’t be interested in a video that goes on and on about sound, EQ, and mixing for two hours.

but…….

-Hey, you crazy. This is a textbook.

-Wow, even our practical music academy teachers can’t do this.

-What are you talking about? This is something even a college professor can’t do. LOL

-I’m a current Micma engineer. Even I can’t do this;

-I knew Han Si-on was good at composing, but was Micma this good too?

-What is a mixer?

-Mixing and mastering. This is really a matter of experience;;;

-Isn’t it something like absolute pitch?

Those who are interested in or have a passion for composition were extremely enthusiastic.

Although Sedalbaekil is young and hasn’t been active for very long, they are currently leading the way in K-pop.

After the success of the full-length album, the music industry’s attitude toward albums itself changed.

Until now, we had been trying to somehow simplify the album to lower the promotional and production costs, but things have changed.

R&B singers with confidence in their singing ability have announced that they are preparing full-length albums, and Drop Out has also decided to increase the number of tracks on their regular album, which includes Selfish.

We decided that if the songs were good (of course, incredibly good), a full-length album would be more successful.

Can we get a glimpse into the know-how of Han Si-on, the captain, helmsman, and producer of Sedalbaekil, who leads this culture?

It was something to be welcomed with open arms.

And they concluded:

That this crazy talented Han Shion really didn’t use any instruments.

Naturally, this news spread to the public.

-There are still people who insist on Hipzionㅋㅋㅋ

-They say that the more Hipzion is attacked, the stronger he becomes.

-But doesn’t he seem like a crazy person? He could probably use a drum kit or something.

-That’s not hip.

-agreed

While this public opinion continued, the game company Mol went a step further.

I received a sample source from Hanshion and used it for the year-end carol event.

When you open an event dungeon and clear it, you have to set it to a specific attack routine. When you set up the attack routine, the attack sound is made to sound like a carol.

It was a struggle to break away from the image of a heavy pay-to-win game to a user-friendly game.

-Don’t you like it these days?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The Christmas event is also a benefit.

-ㅇㅇㅇ I heard they’ll be releasing a potion efficiency patch soon.

-If you suddenly like Choi Jae-sung, then great

-congrats

-congrats

The struggle had an air of success.

If this was the first issue, the second was a bit more absurd.

That’s right, isn’t the name ‘Masked Robber’ inappropriate?

-There must be some victims of robbery among the people watching TV… The masked robber is a bit…

-Since there is no company, doesn’t three months and one hundred days seem a bit reckless?

-There is that tendency.

-Besides, shooting a gun and getting paid for it is a bit…

As expected, Sedalbaekil did not respond.

All he did was announce that he donated all the money he earned from busking.

The fandom of Sedalbaekil also did not respond.

Those who have been fans for a long time know that when ridiculous issues arise, they are usually created by the fandom of a rival group.

And it’s not the fandom that’s going to end that issue.

This is the reaction of the general public.

As the issue gradually rose to the surface, the public began to laugh.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThen does that mean the take scene has to be criticized as a ninja concept that runs away from the set?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Tension should be cursed at as a marine agent impersonatorㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They’re oceans lol

-Isn’t the ocean tense?

-A unit that is half-off.

-That or that lol

-50% of the controversy over 3 months and 100 days is the take scene, and the rest is tension.

-Let’s say the take scene is like that, but why the tension?

-They’ve been hating us for 3 months and 100 days since we failed to line up on the charts because of Coming Up Nextㅋㅋㅋ

-Aren’t there also NOP and dropout?

-No, they’re a bit ambiguous. Anyway, since Han Si-on made the number one song for them, I’m not saying I’m hating them. I’m just saying they’re a bit arrogant?

-All the dreamers around me hate it.

-Even flower lovers hate 3 months and 100 days lol

-If you look closely, there isn’t a group that I like, such as Sedalbaekil.

-Who would like that if all the rice bowls are taken away? Lol

-All records are stolen.

-Are you coming out for the 3rd month 100th day year-end song festival?

-I don’t know lol I don’t think anything will come out.

In this way, the general public ridiculed fans of other groups who started a fight using the word ‘Masked Robber’, but that did not mean that they were unconditionally on the side of Sedalbaekil.

Everyone was negative about Han Si-on’s remarks made at the end of episode 2.

This was the third issue.

-Isn’t the Apple commercial a bit too much?

-Yeah, Hip-Hop seems a bit overconfident.

-Apple probably just sees him as an unknown singer lol

-You shouldn’t sing for me unless you win a Grammy, right?

Han Si-on knew that Apple didn’t care about the singer’s popularity, but the public’s perception was different.

That’s why I thought Han Si-on’s remarks were presumptuous.

Of course, some people said that they would not have appeared on the show if there were really no results.

-Wouldn’t it be great if we had a meeting just once?

– After Season 1 ends, you said you’re going to America for Season 2. You must be trying to tease us about what you’re going to do there.

-yes

-I really acknowledge Han Si-on’s skills, but the Apple commercial is ridiculous.

Everyone was negative.

But that’s why people were so curious about the third episode of Self Made.

Because I was curious about how the story would progress in the future.

The important thing here is that not a single viewer of Self-Made correctly predicted the outcome.

Even Titi didn’t believe that he would be chosen for an Apple commercial.

That moment.

The members of Sedalbaekil, including Han Si-on, were in California.

* * *

While Self Made Season 1 is gaining popularity day by day, Se Dal Baek Il has started filming Season 2 in the United States.

By the way, the amount of money they earned was over 100 million, and eventually the broadcasting company gave up.

I will try to accommodate you to the extent possible, so let’s come to a proper agreement.

I knew that asking for an additional budget of one billion won was ridiculous.

But if it happens like this.

“PD-nim.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“Looking at the weather, it looks like a good day for yachting.”

“… … A yacht?”

“Yes. I think something like a mega yacht would be fine.”

“That, the rental fee for the mega yacht is too expensive… … .”

“Then should we go on a banana boat?”

Sedalbaekil had complete control over the American schedule.

Of course, Se-dal-baek-il did not make demands that would make viewers frown or that would cause PD Kang Seok-woo to feel distressed.

If you make an absurd request first, PD Kang Seok-woo will give in and, as a second-best option, you will carry out the schedule you want.

And signed a contract with Apple.

“What kind of magic did you use?”

“yes?”

“I think the branding team brought you quite a few of their songs. They’re not famous songs, but if several people listened to them around the same time, then you did something.”

Han Shion just shrugged his shoulders, having no intention of revealing the secret.

“Good music is magic in itself.”

I said that, but in reality, there was nothing special about it.

All we did was research the cafeterias, pubs, and restaurants that Apple Park employees frequented and negotiated reasonable prices with the store owners.

I didn’t ask them to play a bad song, and they were satisfied with it.

However, what Han Shi-on did not expect was that the work was completed faster than he had imagined.

At first, we created three routes: Plan A, B, and C.

If A doesn’t work, try B. If B doesn’t work, try C.

If it didn’t work out until C, I was thinking of sending an email directly to the head office.

But Plan A ended up being a failure.

‘Well, they are the ones who select music from LPs that aren’t even distributed online as advertisements.’

Han Si-on thought so, but the other members did not.

They were always wondering if this was a dream.

I know that Han Si-on is a great composer and has a genius talent for music.

But isn’t it a whole other world to actually get a commercial with music you composed with the words, “Let’s get an Apple commercial?”

“One of these songs will be the main theme of next year’s WWDC.”

Besides, Apple didn’t just sign a one-song contract.

Out of the nine songs that Han Si-on composed, three were contracted.

As you might expect, all of these scenes were captured on camera by Selfmade.

That was when Sedalbaekil signed a contract in California and was enjoying a peaceful schedule (only PD Kang Seok-woo was anxious).

“WOW! How much is this?”

Five white men visited the hotel where Sedalbaekil was staying.

One of them was Chris Edwards, whom everyone knows well.

The remaining four are… … .

“I’m going to record. How about it, Zion? Can you see the directing?”

These were the GOTM members who had been through thick and thin with Han Si-on over the past few episodes.
