Damn Idol - Chapter 180

Fucking Idol Episode 180

* * *

Sedalbaekil has been a hot topic of conversation as it has been busy with its year-end music festival schedule.

Of course, the topic they created wasn’t related to awards.

Three Months and One Days received an ambiguous award for being hastily produced by the three major public broadcasting companies.

The reason it was produced in a hurry was simple.

This was because there was no way to avoid criticism that the award given to another singer the previous year was not worthy of being given to Se Dal Baek Il.

But if we give out the new award this year and add a nice little fluff, we can say, ‘We’ll continue to give this to the team that leads the trend for the year.’

Still, it wasn’t a complete indifference.

Because I won the Rookie of the Year and Grand Prize on M Show’s music show Mixdown.

For reference, the target was taken by Drop Out.

Fans of NOP, who released it simultaneously with Drop Out, were upset, but it was actually a fair result.

It is true that Sedalbaekil dominated the second half of 2017, but when looking at just one song’s music chart performance, Drop Out’s Selfish had a better performance.

Drop Out has a lot of fans both domestically and internationally, and it was a really good song.

‘It’s a bit of a shame to see it now.’

Han Shi-on had thought about that too.

When I first tried to sell Selfish to Drop Out, I thought I would debut as quickly as possible on Coming Up Next and then regress when I got bored.

At most, 3~4 years?

But life is unpredictable, and the same goes for the regressor.

Because with so much at stake in this life, I thought it would have been nice if we had called ourselves Selfish.

But Sedalbaekil didn’t care what happened to the award.

At first, Titi was disappointed and angry, but soon got better.

-Wow you crazy guys;

-It seems like they use different sounds when they go on stageㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, this is really cruel. FFBA had to perform in front of Sedalbaekil of all placesㅋㅋㅋ

-It’s a good match. FFBA debuted in the first half of this year and was a huge hit, and 3 Months and 100 Days debuted in the second half of this year and was a huge hit.

-What exactly is right?ㅋㅋㅋ The skill levels are so differentㅋㅋㅋ

-Why does TT always pick fights with other singers?

-I’m not TT. Why would I join a fan club?

-Don’t ignore the Muggles. We have ears too.

-And what’s similar between FFBA and Sedalbaekil? FFBA was hired by a big entertainment company, while Sedalbaekil is an independent musician.

-Because of the three months and one hundred days, there is confusion about the meaning of the word indie.

-But if you think about it, isn’t the biggest agency in South Korea Sedalbaekil?

-why?

-Awesome plan = Just do it once.

-Oh, I admit it. I was just trying to get some Apple commercials and ended up getting some.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Ah, I hate year-end programs. When will Self Made Season 2 air?

-Not fun. Is it true that there was a week-long hiatus after the special episode?

This was because the 3-month-long stage created such a huge buzz.

Ironically, Sedalbaekil performed at four year-end music festivals and presented different stages for each one.

While MBN wore masks to hide who was who, SBN mixed up the songs.

It is common for singers to mix their hit songs at year-end music festivals, but Sedalbaekil took a special approach.

The four songs were not mixed in order.

Mixed up everything.

The introduction of Summer Cream leads into Colorful Struggle, and the chorus of Colorful Struggle forms the chorus of State of Mind.

Although Sedalbaekil had previously become famous by performing a full song at a university festival, this was different from that.

The full song performance was written by cutting up the song little by little due to time constraints, but this time, Han Si-on mixed several songs together to create one song.

It’s just that the song is 9 minutes long and the 4 references in it are so famous that people just noticed.

The following KBN presented a tight and completely standard performance.

Without any arrangement or stage design, it was a feast of perfect group dance and live performance.

-This is really precious lol

-Wow, how long has it been since you’ve performed a clean, original song without any arrangement or device?

-This is precious. It’s really precious.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

At this point, some even started saying that classic performances were more valuable.

But what got the most applause, no matter what, was that Sedalbaekil didn’t use AR at all.

-AR isn’t bad, but it tends to bury the singer’s original voice.

-Then can’t other singers do it without AR?

-Will it work? ㅋㅋ With this level of live singing, even if you sing one flat wrong, it’ll be obvious.

Instrumentalists are third-rate if they sound worse than virtual instruments, and second-rate if they sound similar to virtual instruments.

First-rate instruments are those that are far superior to virtual instruments even when performing the same performance.

Han Si-on thought the same thing about singers.

There are more and more ways to correct your voice, and Autotune is the most widely known device.

The public knows Autotune as a device that produces mechanical sounds, but Autotune is actually a voice correction device.

Autotune can be used to add various effects to your voice (such as a phone call, underwater sounds, etc.), but electronic effects have become the most famous.

But a truly first-class vocalist must have a quality that cannot be created by a machine.

If you are a singer who has to stand in front of people, you have to be able to show that class on stage.

Han Si-on wasn’t 100% satisfied with the stage of Se-dal-baek-il.

Still around 70 points.

But just those 70 points were enough to get people excited.

So, after the year-end music festival hosted by the broadcasting station ended, another year-end music festival came.

Gaon Chart Music Awards.

Korean Popular Music Awards.

These were the two.

Some people think that award ceremonies hosted by broadcasting stations are major, while others think that award ceremonies like the Korea Music Awards are minor.

On the other hand, some people believe that award ceremonies held by broadcasting stations are given out based on capitalism, and that the Hanwha Music Awards or Gaon Chart Music Awards are more credible.

Anyway, Sedalbaekil received an award here.

At the Gaon Chart Music Awards, which are awarded based on objective data, they swept the music awards for July, August, September, and October, and jointly won .

At the Korean Popular Music Awards, they swept most of the main awards.

The Hankyoreh Music Awards, like the Grammy Awards, have four main awards: Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year.

Sedalbaekil swept three of these.

Album of the Year, Musician of the Year, Rookie of the Year.

It was an expected result.

is the best-selling book in Korea this year and is considered a timeless masterpiece.

The three months and a half that created that masterpiece have been consistently proving themselves both domestically and internationally by making it onto the color show and Billboard charts.

There was no need to mention the rookie of the year.

However, the song of the year award went to Drop Out’s .

Just like the broadcasting station’s year-end music festival.

But if you think about it closely, there’s quite a difference.

The reason the station gave the award to Drop Out was because they were so popular.

With good songs, they satisfied fans at home and abroad, showed great performances, and built up great records.

But there is really only one reason why Han Dae-eum gave the award.

Because it’s the best song that came out this year.

This is the reason why the composer gets as much credit as the singer, and the composer of Selfish was Han Si-on.

[… … And we would like to express our gratitude to our junior idol, Han Si-on, who gave us a great song and is also an excellent composer.]

When the Grammy Awards announce the winner for Song of the Year, the producer, not the singer, receives the award first.

So it was no surprise that Sido, the leader of Selfish, said this in his acceptance speech.

It was a bit strange for a current idol to give a song to a senior group.

Just as much as Drop Out’s award acceptance speech, Sedalbaekil’s award acceptance speech also garnered much attention.

At the Gaon Awards and the HanDaeum Awards, the members, not Han Si-on, gave their acceptance speeches… … .

[I will work hard to receive this award next year as well.]

At the Gaon Awards, On Sae-mi expressed her feelings like this.

[2 + 2 + 1 = 2 ]

Although Han Dae-eum didn’t say anything directly, he briefly held up a long towel with the above phrase engraved on it.

It was a moment when the general consensus regarding the phrase, the meaning of which was still unknown, turned towards ‘album’.

-As someone said, there will be 2 singles, 2 mini albums, and 1 full album, right?

-Then what is the 2 that comes out when you add them all up?

-Doesn’t that mean 2nd year? The results of 3 months and 100 days in the 2nd year.

-Wow, that sounds plausible?

-You really planned all that out?

-Haven’t you seen Self Made? If you look at the speed at which Han Si-on’s songs are produced, it’s not that hard.

-But if you release all of that, your second regular album won’t be full-length, right?

-Yeah, that’s highly likely.

Around that time, the broadcasting industry’s clock, which had stopped because of the year-end pilot programs, began to tick again…

[Self Made Season 2!]

Episode 1 of Self Made Season 2 has aired.

* * *

The content of the first episode of season 2 itself was nothing special.

After settling the money earned in Season 1, Sedalbaekil, who now has an unlimited budget, heads to the United States… … .

[PD? Do I really have to go to the haunted house… …?]

[I guess we have prepared content… … .]

[Well, then I want to upgrade the hotel… … .]

[More here… … ?]

[I think it would be okay if you chose the lowest difficulty level in the haunted house.]

[Let’s do it! Upgrade!]

It made PD Kang Seok-woo nervous.

Of course, it wasn’t a controversial or unpleasant line.

The members of 3 Months and 100 Days pressured producer Kang Seok-woo, but in the end, they completed all the schedules prepared by the broadcasting station.

However, it was said that they could have more free time and fit in one schedule they wanted each day.

-Season 2 is a bit disappointing.

-Yeah, I guess there’s no music talk?

-Come to your senses lol That kind of thing doesn’t really appear on variety shows lol

-But I also want to see an unknown singer make money in America.

-222222222

-PD Kang, have you lost a lot of your senses?

Around that time, the members of 3 Months and 100 Days rented out a lounge pub in LA and put on a small stage.

Sedalbaekil rented a pub near Santa Monica Beach and went around busking to promote the band.

Is it because the admission fee is cheap, or is it because the busking at Sedalbaekil was great?

-Oh, what is it?

-Are you sure you gathered here naturally? You weren’t mobilized by the broadcasting station?

-There seem to be about a hundred people?

There were quite a few people gathered.

The opening of the show was Han Si-on’s jazz guitar.

People were quite surprised because although he had shown countless appearances in the past, he had never shown himself as a jazz player.

Because I was wondering what Han Si-on couldn’t do.

Around that time, Apple came calling and a deal was made.

Despite the enormous amount of work that went into directing the contract itself, it was simple.

This was also requested by Apple, as they were wary of their advertising music being overly exposed.

and…….

[wow!]

Chris Edwards appeared on the screen.

With four white men.
