Damn Idol - Chapter 181

Fucking Idol Episode 181

* * *

A significant portion of the Korean public dislikes nationalistic content.

He said that adjectives like “the United States admired it” and “Spain praised it” were too childish.

At the same time, people think that this is a uniquely Korean characteristic, but that is not the case.

Pride in one’s own culture is stronger in the United States than in Korea.

Whenever I interview stars from other countries, I always try to show off the superiority of American culture.

Of course, that’s why American citizens are embarrassed by their nationalism (from their own perspective), but it’s show business.

I do it because it makes money.

Because humans are animals that, from the DNA level, are desperate to prove that the colony they created is superior to the colonies created by others.

That’s how tribes were formed, how unions were formed, and how nations were formed.

Nevertheless, the reason people have an aversion to nationalism is because it packages something ambiguous as pride.

It doesn’t seem like such a big deal, but show business keeps packaging it as such, so I’m starting to feel a sense of resistance.

But what if there is content that is objectively high quality to anyone?

That’s not patriotism, that’s pride.

That was the first directing scene of Han Si-on and BOTY.

[Edward is talking nonsense. He says you’re the best guitarist.]

BOTY’s guitarist Dave Logan makes an odd appearance.

Han Shion knew Dave Logan’s personality and knew that what he said was not a lie.

A euphemism for just wanting to hear you play your guitar.

But that wasn’t what the viewers saw.

A guitarist from the band’s home country, the United States (of course, strictly speaking, England).

Although he has not yet achieved fame, he is a promising guitarist chosen by a huge company called HR Corporation.

It seemed like that person was picking a fight with Han Shi-on.

And here’s where the cider exploded.

Han Si-on starts playing, and the drummer, bassist, and keyboardist run around with ecstatic faces.

But Dave Logan can’t get involved.

At this time, the communication between Han Si-on and BOTY ended with music, but not for the viewers.

So, later interviews with Chris Edwards and Dave Logan were sneaked in.

[… … There was absolutely no room to interfere.]

[Why?]

[Because that crazy… … . Korean with ridiculous talent drew the line.]

[A line? What line?]

[The line that says you can’t jump into an ensemble unless you excel at this.]

The interview was followed by a shot of Dave Logan watching BOTY’s prelude with a red face.

Eventually, Logan, unable to hold back any longer, intervenes.

[So, did you cross the line when you interfered with the performance?]

[No. I just ignored the line.]

[Why?]

[I don’t think I can sleep without showing you what my guitar is.]

As Han Shion knows, Logan at the time neither sought harmony nor tried to defeat Han Shion.

It had reached a point where I couldn’t stand not showing off my guitar.

Logan was about to go berserk, but Han Shion stopped him.

[Zion was trying to show that running and running wild are different things?]

An interview with Chris Edwards is inserted, and a guitar duet between Han Si-on and Logan explodes.

When Dave Logan pours out a powerful performance, Han Si-on adds a different melody to weaken the power.

You have to clap your hands to hear the sound of applause.

No matter how hard Logan swung his palm, Hanshion only gently embraced it.

He even created ghost notes to go along with Dave Logan’s playing.

It’s not impossible to form ghost notes on a guitar, but it’s definitely not easy.

That’s because the instrument being played is a bass.

But Han Si-on created a soft melody behind the strong melody like a ghost note, and this is… … .

[That’s nonsense.]

[why?]

[Although he played it based on the original, Logan’s performance was clearly improvisational.]

[That is, Zion arranged it on the spot to put the reins on the wild horse called Logan. Hearing Logan’s performance and thinking of a progression that would fit it. Can you believe that he created a song of that level in just a few seconds?]

[I was called a genius when I got on the Billboard Hot 100 at a young age… … ]

[The real genius is Zion.]

[That’s why I appeared on Coming Up Next.]

Actually, Chris Edwards’ thinking was a bit flawed.

It’s true that Han Si-on came up with a spontaneous performance that would give Dave Logan the reins.

However, Han Si-on’s improvisation is different from that of ordinary performers.

He is not some over-the-top lyricist, he is a man who has been making melodies for centuries.

His compositions are full of incredible melodies, chord progressions, and harmonies.

Hanshion doesn’t remember everything like that.

But the moment you hear Logan play, the list in his songwriting farm comes to mind, and you just have to pick the appropriate one.

From then on, Han Si-on’s experience and talent will take the lead.

But in the eyes of Chris Edward and the BOTY members who were unaware of these facts, Han Si-on was a mistake by God.

[God’s mistake?]

[Einstein said God doesn’t play dice, but maybe he does.]

[And that Korean is a person who gets 6 when it comes to music.]

So Han Si-on and Dave Logan’s performance finally ended.

[Damn. I lost. You’re a genius.]

With a word from Dave Logan, who raised the white flag.

The scenes where Han Si-on provided similar help to the bassist and keyboardist were omitted to the extent of an insert scene.

Since the story already has a perfect introduction, development, turn, and conclusion, adding something more to it is just superfluous.

Besides, this was enough.

Whether you know a lot about music or not, it was a production that couldn’t fail to recognize Han Si-on’s talent.

-Han Shion is back, reallyㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, a singer like that came out of Koreaㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I thought Chris Edwards was sucking up to Han Shion too much, but I wasn’t lol. Edward was the first to recognize Han Shion’s talent.

-I didn’t see the first part, but was Players also composed by Han Si-on?

-ㅇㅇㅇㅇ They say that Chris Edwards happened to hear the song while filming Coming Up Next and was so captivated by it that he took it with him. He also entrusted the recording directing to Han Si-on.

-At first, I thought he gave it to me because of the broadcast, but my mind changed after watching the broadcast.

– In the first place, it doesn’t make sense that Chris Edwards was in charge of recording for M Showㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Reallyㅋㅋㅋ Even if Chris Edwards came out like a fool, he has several #1 songs on Billboard Hot 100ㅋㅋㅋ Why would he do something that would harm his career?

-Why is everyone making such a fuss? Didn’t you end up co-composing with the great artists for your first full-length album?

-Composing and performing are a bit different.

-Wow, I thought it was so childish that America was amazed and Billboard praised it, but this is actually a fact lol

-Right, this isn’t patriotismㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s fact-based ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It was no surprise that viewers went crazy and clips started being exported in real time.

In fact, Han Si-on’s role in Season 1 of Self-Made was surprisingly not that big.

To borrow someone’s expression, Han Si-on was like a dragon in a nest, only composing music, and the rest of the members who received it did the external activities.

Of course, there was one room called Apple at the end that took up all the attention, but the actual broadcast time was like that.

But no matter what anyone says, the main character of season 2 was Han Si-on.

There were also linguistic reasons for this.

Among the members of Sedalbaekil, there was no one who was fluent in English.

Although Choi Jae-seong is quite good at listening, he is not very good at speaking.

The rest of the members were almost blind.

If I had been affiliated with a large entertainment company, I would have received foreign language education, but Sedalbaekil didn’t have time for that.

In contrast, Han Si-on’s English skills were not good enough to be described as proficient.

[You’re from the West, but you studied in the East?]

[That’s a very specific guess, isn’t it?]

[The pronunciation is Eastern, but should I say it feels like a native speaker? The feeling of origin is exactly like Cali. Even the use of words is obvious.]

Locals who spoke with Han Shion were always convinced that he was American.

I’m an American who has lived in the United States my entire life.

Actually, that wasn’t wrong.

Because in the United States today, there is probably no one who has been using English longer than Han Shion.

Unless there’s an old person who’s about 200 years old.

As the first episode was coming to an end due to the broadcast time, the scene that was broadcast was a request from HR Corporation to record .

-Huh? The singer of that song is 3 months and 100 days old?

-It seems like HR Corporation really liked the three-month period?

-But isn’t that a bit too much? He’s practically unknown in the US.

Around that time, someone’s guess was shared with people and received a lot of recommendations.

-Hey, I get it. What 2+2+1 is.

-What is it?

– 2 singles in the US, 2 singles in Korea, 1 mini album.

-oh?

-Then what about = 2?

-This is the second year of activity.

– If you think about the usual workload of 4 singles and 1 mini-album, it’s not impossible…

-Who said that? Han Shion. You can tell when 2+2+1 is finished with Self-Made.

-Hey, this seems right.

-That’s right lol. Then, is there anything else you’re aiming for Billboard besides Players?

-I don’t think so lol And just by looking at it, it looks like they probably signed a distribution contract with HR Corporation lol

-Liar N Enter and HR Corporationㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So cool hahahahaha

-It’s really self-made.

I have lived in the United States for a very long time and am culturally familiar with the United States.

Oh, and going to bed with shoes on seems to be something I reject on a genetic level, so that’s out of the question.

I really couldn’t do that.

Anyway, although I am a person who is familiar with American culture, that doesn’t mean I am completely insensitive to Korean trends.

I also found some cultures fun and accepted them, and some cultures I found useful and utilized in the United States.

One of them was MBTI.

Well, the introduction was grandiose, but it wasn’t anything special.

I just tried it a few times because so many Koreans DMed me about it, and then I told the GOTM members about it, and it spread all over the US.

Anyway, MBTI itself was created in the United States in the 1940s, so it’s strange to say that I popularized it.

But it’s not like in Korea, where people would ask someone they just met about their MBTI instead of the weather.

The reason I’m saying this now is… … .

“This is a revolution.”

“Stop it.”

“How did you know this?”

“I just saw it in a book.”

Koo Tae-hwan is going crazy.

Koo Tae-hwan was originally the type of person who was quick-witted and tried to understand others.

No, even the word effort is funny.

Some people are just born that way.

A personality that naturally delves into what the other person’s intentions are and why they say and do things that way.

Koo Tae-hwan was exactly like that, and he once said that it caused him problems as a child.

What did you say?

Did you say you questioned the teacher because you felt he was taking his anger out on his friend?

He also pointed out that friends act friendly on the outside but secretly dislike each other.

So I told him about MBTI because I thought he might be interested, but it turned out to be too much of a stretch.

If you leave him alone, he’ll go around explaining MBTI to people all over the world.

As of 2018, it is not a popular culture at all in Korea, but maybe it is popular because of Koo Tae-hwan?

Koo Tae-hwan’s personal fans have already uploaded all the photos of Koo Tae-hwan on Twitter and are causing a fuss.
