Damn Idol - Chapter 190

Fucking Idol Episode 190

Even when I first auditioned with Coming Up Next’s rookie development team, this was what Han Si-on did best.

Breaking expectations.

Music has been with humanity for a very long time, and so has commercial art.

Even the general public, who are not musically literate, can be given a few sounds arranged in money codes and can string them together to create a pretty decent melody.

It was because I had heard it too many times.

Han Si-on was good at giving the public a familiar sound, then ripping it apart and turning it up a notch, and then going back to familiarity again.

For Han Si-on, who had composed so many songs, the theory of composition no longer existed, but this was the method he liked the most.

But this time it was more fun.

What gives familiarity is Onsemiro, and what changes into unfamiliarity is Hanshion.

The reason there was no discomfort amidst the tension was because the two people made beautiful sounds.

A little sound for you

If it remains

If that sound reaches you

How nice it would be

At first glance, seems like the words of someone who had no choice but to leave their lover.

But in reality, it contained Han Shion’s impressions of the world after the return.

Although Han Si-on knows how to compose, mix, master, and direct, the only thing he doesn’t do is write lyrics.

It’s not that I can’t do it at all, but I don’t enjoy writing lyrics.

Most of the lyrics of the songs he has sung with Sedalbaekil so far were memorized and written with professional lyricists.

Although there are songs that Han Si-on wrote as the main, they were still written by professional lyricists.

But this song wasn’t it.

It is a song that I wrote purely and entirely by myself.

To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing for Han Si-on.

‘I never thought I’d sing this song with someone else.’

Either not calling at all, or calling alone.

It was a song that I only had one choice between two, but while working on the second album of Sedalbaekil, I thought this song would fit well.

So I was singing along with Onsemiro.

In the meantime, the song became quiet again, and Onsemiro established a tone that was pleasant to listen to.

The song that was formed and torn repeatedly gave me catharsis.

The high notes formed by the two vocalists pour out through the acoustic guitar sound.

is a song that mixes city pop and folk rock.

But if I were to define the genre more precisely, it would be unplugged rock.

A track created using the original instrument sounds without using any electronic sounds whatsoever.

It feels like a song from the 80s, but the melody used in it is very sophisticated.

It was that kind of song.

That’s how the song ended.

* * *

As soon as Han Si-on and On Sae-mi’s song ended, Self Made also ended.

Because the subtitle announcing the end of the show, “Thank you for watching so far,” came to mind.

But viewers didn’t take their eyes off the TV.

It wasn’t because there was a lingering aftertaste…

“Huh?”

It was because Han Si-on appeared on the screen once again.

As Han Si-on, smiling, touches the turntable (a device that plays LPs), the screen quickly moves to show the top of the turntable.

There were three LP records on the turntable, and the color and shape of the LP records were familiar.

It was three LP records of different sizes, each in a deep blue color, stacked on top of each other.

Looking closely, you can see that they are overlapping when viewed from above, but when viewed from the side, they are three placed at different heights.

What this meant was all too familiar.

Anyone who has visited the YouTube channel of Sedalbaekil even once will know their symbol.

Three overlapping deep blue circles.

At that moment, the LP record on the far left started spinning.

The intro of a familiar piece of music flowed out.

The first track and title song of the unit album released by Masked Robber.

It was already considered by diehard R&B fans to be the best of all R&B songs released in Korea.

However, those with good ears might be able to tell that the song that is being played now is strangely different from the original.

The BPM was strangely different, and the sound texture was also different.

It was not the good side, it was the bad side.

The characteristic ups and downs of rhythm and blues have faded, and the sound pressure that Han Si-on emphasizes all the time, or velocity in piano terms, has weakened.

For those who know the original song, it didn’t seem like much of a deal since it still had the original feel to it, but for those who don’t know the original song, it was a bit boring.

Then the sound suddenly stopped, and Han Si-on played another LP.

This time, it was the first track of Choi Jae-seong’s unit album.

It is currently enjoying immense popularity and is eating up trend and topic indices like a monster.

But this time too, there was a change.

Synth-pop with new jack swing as its backbone sounds like a deflated balloon.

The pleasure of the thumping sound disappears, and it becomes electronic pop that you can just listen to casually.

The song that had been playing for about 5 seconds suddenly stops, and the last LP record starts spinning.

It was released on music sites along with the self-made ending.

A unit album by Han Si-on and On Sae-mi.

The first track of the song was , which had been aired just a few seconds ago.

This song also had some changes, but the direction was a bit different.

The guitar riffs sound stronger and the BPM gets faster.

It’s closer to a cheerful guitar sound than a bright guitar sound, and it produces a much more refined sound than the characteristic feel of folk rock.

Whether you like it or not, three months and one hundred days.

Whether you like Han Shion or hate him.

People were focused because they had no idea what the heck this video was.

At that moment, Han Shi-on smiled and opened his mouth.

[STAGE.]

It was just one word.

After a while, Han Si-on starts spinning the LP record.

It wasn’t like before, they were rotated one by one.

Turn 3 at once.

Then… … .

♬♪♩♪♪♩♪

Music is playing.

Instead of the rhythm of new jack swing that formed the backbone of , the guitar riff of forms the backbone.

Nevertheless, the plump drum lines characteristic of synth pop were still there.

The rhythm and blues contained in the masked robber’s song forms the background sound.

Three songs that sounded weak at first glance blend together to create a perfectly harmonious sound.

I don’t know what to call the genre.

There’s R&B in it, there’s synth pop in it, and there’s also unplugged folk guitar riffs in it.

All of that mixes together to create a powerful sound that’s a bit like electronic house or hip-hop.

But the public is not greatly restricted by genre distinctions.

What matters is whether the music is good or bad.

And this is… … .

-Hey!!!!!!! You’re crazy!!!!!

It was good.

It was so good that I didn’t need anything else.

Subtitles come to mind along with the music.

[2+2+1 = ?]

[3 months 100 days regular 2nd album STAGE]

[2018. 2. 18]

[Coming Soon]

That’s right.

The video that aired after Self-Made was finished was an advertisement for the album release.

There was a time when albums were promoted through TV commercials, but this method has now fallen into disuse for various reasons.

It was revived through Sedalbaekil, which joined hands with Mshow.

* * *

-Wow, crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So what you’re saying is that if you mix 3 unit albums together, a different song will pop outㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Eh, if you just combine track 1, isn’t that it?

-No no no Go to YouTube Ingeupdong. There are videos of music YouTubers experimenting and making flagships.

-What’s so ridiculous is that no matter how you mix it, it comes out as a pretty good sound.

– It’s a mix of the 2nd track of Masked Robber, the 3rd track of Choi Jae-sung, and the 4th track of On & On;

-No, is this possible?

-He said that this needs some work. He said that if you mix all three together, the negative pressure will be too strong and noisy, so you need to reduce it. The YouTuber said that he doesn’t know how the second album will turn out.

-If you mix Side A, B, and C, you get the main body? Isn’t this a complete transformation robot?

-Wow, somehow the last track of every unit album is named STAGE.

-Is that the title song?

-ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇㅇ Right now, YouTubers are putting in all their effort and pouring their heart and soul into guessing the song.

-There are over 30 combinations worth listening toㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Much kekekekeke

-Wow, it’s Hipzion itself.

-No but isn’t Side C really good? This got buried because of the album release announcement, but the On & On unit album is really really good.

-2222 This comes out every time I go to a lounge pub in Itaewon. It comes out even in places that only play foreign music.

-Foreigners asked me what song it was, but I couldn’t explain it to them.

-Why? The team called 3 Months and 100 Days is preparing their second album, but they split it into three unit albums and released it… This fucking makes no sense.

-Right lol lol lol lol

– An album released with just an acoustic guitar is a hit in 2018; and it even sounds hip;

-Originally, old school was new school.

-Hey, but it really is a hip-hop thing. Even when people were making a fuss about splitting up an album into units because of Hanshion’s greed for music, I was just laughing.

-ㅇㅇㅇHip Sion is smiling

-Besides, you made the decision to release your own unit album last because you were afraid it would be buried under the album release announcements. Aren’t you a true leader?

-But it wasn’t buried lol. He sang On & On really well.

-If a unit with Lee Ion, Han Si-on, and On Sae-mi comes out later, will it be On & On & On?

-If these kids have the naming sense, it’s definitely possible.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋI guess God doesn’t give us everything.

-Masked robber, Choi Jae-sung, On and Onㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s a bit old.

Along with the airing of Self Made, TV commercials for Sedal Baekil’s second regular album began to pour out on M Show.

Some people are surprised at how much money Sedalbaekil spent, but this advertisement is free.

Because it was clearly one of the things that Mshow suggested when joining hands with Sedalbaekil.

Of course, it wasn’t a 60-second video advertisement released immediately after Self-Made was finished, but a 15-second version that was tailored for TV.

But whatever it was, it was being passed on by word of mouth.

News about Sedalbaekil’s second regular album.

However, the one released by Han Si-on and On Sae-mi-ro is… … .

1- When the curtain falls (new) (hot)

2- Is it right to be wrong? (new)(hot)

3- Drop(hot)

4- Same place (new) (hot)

I made a name for myself on the music charts.

It was amazing how Choi Jae-seong maintained his 3rd place despite the enormous amount of buzz he must have had.

At this point, South Korea’s planning companies were at a loss.

“No, are they the only singers in the world…?”

“Commercial morality… … . Commercial morality… … .”

It’s already been three weeks.

The names of the members of Sedalbaekil are embroidered like constellations in the Top 10 of the chart.

When the masked robber’s power was about to weaken, Choi Jae-seong appeared, and when Choi Jae-seong’s power was about to weaken, Han Si-on appeared.

Then, surprisingly, the sound sources of the masked robber slowly raise their heads again.

It was because of the news that all of this would come together to form a second full-length album.

What will come out when the unit album’s power runs out?

The second regular album is coming out.

“Ha… … . It’s hard to work.”

“The PR team leader was taking hair loss medication… … .”

“Sir, take some stomach medicine… … .”

In a word, it was a three-month and one-hundred-day period of strength.
