Raising a Neglected Singer-Songwriter Episode 149

149. with my muses

The recording went smoothly.

Shine = Seol Hye-yoon sang the song well as she had prepared, and Sung-jun gave her direction accordingly.

There was also help from Yuna, who was also in the studio.

“Brother, if you don’t mind, may I say a few things to Shine?”

During the recording, Yuna carefully asked for permission from producer Sungjun and offered advice.

“I think it would be nice to give the sound a little more space. Like when you hum in the shower in the bathroom, it hums.”

“Since you have a clear voice, I think it would be good to make the most of your strengths. For the high notes, don’t force yourself and just lightly hit the notes.”

As a top female vocalist, her delicate advice added more detailed supplementation to Sungjun’s directing, and Seol Hye-yoon listened to it and accepted it.

Looking at that scene, Sungjun could tell that the reason the two of them made a surprise visit to the recording studio together today was actually to help with his album.

Thus, the quality of the completed song was top-notch.

“If we do this well, it could threaten the title song spot, right?”

Sungjun was so moved that he stuck out his tongue while saying this.

one side,

“You’ve worked hard, Sister.”

After finishing recording and leaving the booth, Yuna hands Shine a cool iced Americano.

At this time, the term Yuna used to address Shine was ‘Unnie’.

Not only now, but also during the feedback, the term ‘sister’ was occasionally mentioned.

How long has it been since you two met that you call each other ‘sister’?

If it were other people here, they would have questioned the relationship between the two at least once and thought, ‘Huh?’

‘We’ve become so close that we’re like sisters in a short period of time. Isn’t that nice to see? Hehe.’

Seongjun smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he had somehow become a bridge between the two.

Of course, not everyone in the recording studio was as clueless as Sungjun.

Oh Hae-soo, who was present as a manager, had a slightly different opinion.

Based on my experience as a manager and meeting various people.

‘Hmm… These two must have known each other for a long time.’

Otherwise, such a natural atmosphere could not be created.

Especially among women you meet for the first time.

Even the friendly tone in their speech and gaze toward each other showed that the two were ‘acquaintances’.

And one more thing.

As I activated the manager-only skill, ‘Careful Gaze’, I discovered something from the two people.

‘I think they both like their older brother. And it seems like they both know that.’

Her eyes, like honey, looked at Sungjun.

A strange tension is occasionally felt between the two people.

It was clear that they stemmed from a common ‘love’ for one man.

‘I know that too, but why doesn’t my brother know…’

Are you the one who doesn’t know because you are the person involved?

Whatever it was, Oh Hae-soo felt sorry for the two beauties who fell in love with such an insensitive person.

A few days after Seol Hye-yoon’s recording.

Yuna, the last member of the featuring Avengers, has returned to the recording studio once again.

I was wondering if he might come with Shine this time too, but today he came alone without any such incident.

While Seol Hye-yoon was in charge of the first track of the album, ‘Dream’.

The song that Yuna featured in is ‘Worldwide’, the 10th and last track on the album.

As it is a song that contains the ambition to reach a wider world,

It was a song with limited features limited to Yuna, who dominates Billboard as a global K-pop star.

“Tell me when you’re ready to record slowly, Yuna.”

“I can go right now.”

As the MR started playing, Yuna’s face in front of the microphone transformed into that of a professional.

Her expression, which had completely erased all traces of laughter, was so serious that it felt almost tragic.

Compared to when I was recording ‘Jinnungkaebi’ in the past, I feel particularly motivated today.

After that, recording began.

The song was, as always, perfect.

Seongjun’s directing wasn’t necessarily necessary.

“Oh, I guess it’s done? I’ll go straight to the next part.”

Like many singers who have accumulated experience, Yuna has recently turned to easy listening and has been using a comfortable vocalization and singing style.

However, ‘Worldwide’ required a wild and punchy high note, and Sungjun was worried that it might put a strain on Yuna’s vocal cords.

It was a needless worry.

“Shout out to me worldwide! Worldwide!”

The way she shouted sharply and coolly, like a well-sharpened sword, was reminiscent of the early days of her career.

Anyone who listened to the song would surely exclaim in admiration at her continued good health, saying, “Yuna, you’re still alive?”

In this way, the recording of all five members of the ultra-luxurious featuring group, including Yuna, has been completed.

A satisfied smile appears on Sungjun’s face as he goes through the completed track list of ten songs, including the five songs he recorded earlier.

I dare say that the album quality is a step up from the last two EPs.

The fact that this level of perfection could be achieved was largely due to the five people who passionately featured in the song as if it were their own.

“I should return the thank you gift when the regular album comes out.”

It was a very comforting thought for Sungjun, who had absolutely no idea why they were so passionate about recording.

Well, anyway.

“Then, please just finish it well.”

“Just leave it to me. I’ll just put some oil on the already finished album.”

The final post-production of the recording was handed over to the mixing/mastering team.

Now, all that’s left for the album’s release is filming the music video for the title song, ‘Become I’.

As a music video director, he may not be in the mood for Jay Jay’s Wolcl line lyrics, but his skills are truly Wolcl! At the same time, he has decided to work with Choi Seok-yong, who has now established himself as ‘Sung-jun’s music video director’ among the public.

Since it is a song about one’s growth rather than a love song, the plan is to develop the music video as a narrative instead of having a separate female protagonist.

Accordingly, another picture was to be drawn that was different from the previous EP title, ‘Music is’.

one side,

While the release of a full-length album in Korea has made some progress, there is still a global project that is being prepared as a two-track project.

An absolutely outrageous collaboration that came to fruition during a video conference with George Brown, a top American producer who promised full support for Sungjun’s advancement into the US.

It was a collaboration that had promised to feature none other than the greatest pop star, Ariel Grande.

As this is a song that will be released consecutively after the release of a domestic regular album, the work on this song also had to be done in the near future.

Usually, when featuring or collaborating with overseas artists, instead of communicating directly, only voice files of the artist’s parts are exchanged.

I guess it’s because there are spatial and temporal constraints.

However, Sungjun could not be satisfied with such ordinary methods.

As with this domestic featuring, the reason was that we could only create a song of proper quality by meeting in person and matching our voices.

“So, have you decided?”

“Yes, I will go to America.”

So Sungjun bought a ticket to Washington, where George Brown’s label ‘New Era’ was located.

In this way, Sungjun’s final preparations for his album are in full swing.

There were two issues that were emerging as hot topics in the country.

The first one is episode 4 of Seongjun’s own show, ‘Strange Friends’.

In addition to the fact that Yuna participated as a guest, the rumor that filming took place overseas had already spread through various communities, so the number of views exploded as soon as it was uploaded.

– Yuna who is chewing on pizza is super cute lol

ㄴ I also felt that Yuna was Korean because she ate it by folding it instead of cutting it with a pizza knife. I discovered her unexpected charm.

N Hawaiian pizza is a total no-no. Who the hell puts fruit on pizza?

n A fatal flaw discovered in the perfect Sungjun.

ㄴ In the meantime, am I the only one who finds it funny that the Italian employee is flirting with Yuna?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– The story of Sungjun and Yuna’s first meeting at the Paradise Shopping Mall is still so amazing no matter how many times I hear it. Since then, I’ve been going to the Paradise Shopping Mall so often just in case I run into Yunaㅋㅋㅋ

n My friend works at Paradise Shopping Mall, and he said that sales at that store increased after the Paradise Shopping Mall story was made public.

N Seongjun and Yuna are going to save the economy now?

n More than anything, I’m really jealous of the music store live. Those Italians over there got to hear Sungjun’s live for free.

N I admit it! I want them to do guerrilla live shows like that in Korea too!

Like folding pizza in half, disliking Hawaiian pizza, and the natural way of speaking and acting when talking to Sungjun.

The outgoing charm that fans had expected from Yuna was revealed through Byulchin, and the response was as expected.

In the meantime, there was one more thing that came to my attention through Byulchin.

– But why did you go all the way to Milan to film it?

N Sungjun and Yuna are global ambassadors for ‘Korea’. I heard they were invited.

n I was wondering what was going on when I saw a picture of the two of them leaving the country together at the airport, and it turned out they were visiting the ‘Korea’ headquarters. I thought they were going on a secret date abroad again.

N Then would you be waving your hands like that in front of reporters? LOL

– There is also a photo of the three of them on Angela’s Instagram

Wow, the visuals are crazy. Is this real? I saw you in casual clothes in Byulchin, but seeing you in a Korean outfit makes you look crazy. It’s just a pictorial.

ㄴ How can I relate to the genuinely happy smile on designer Angela’s face in the middle?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

N You guys, now is not the time to look at Sungjun and Yuna’s faces. Look at the comment Angela left.

N ‘with my muses’ Huh?!!! Did you say ‘muses’?!!!

N Yeah Sungjun is the second muse that Angela officially mentioned.

N crazy!!!!!!

Angela Corre officially declared that Sungjun is her ‘muse’.

The fact that two Korean male and female stars have become the muse of the head designer of a top global luxury brand is something that no one in the fashion industry or the entertainment industry could have ever imagined.

With such a huge issue, the 4th episode of Byulchin, which was supported by the manpower of global K-pop star Yuna, absorbed the interest and inflow of numerous fans around the world.

in result,

“Wow, this is a huge hit! The number of views is-!!!”

Episode 4 of Star Friend showed off its amazing power by surpassing 5 million views in just one day of its release.

If Byulchin was causing a sensation on YouTube like this,

In the music industry, a special event match that many people, including the media and K-pop fans, were paying attention to and waiting for was held.

Among the four major entertainment companies that dominate South Korea, three new girl groups, the youngest daughters of each company, debuted in relay within a short span of a week!

The first to debut was the 7-member girl group ‘Seven Days’ produced by KG Entertainment, 7 years after Pink Rose.

The concept is a typical KG Enter girl crush, which simply means, ‘I’m the best. I’m the best in this area.’

The large-scale hip-hop bass title song music video, filmed on location overseas, captured the attention of global fans as soon as it was released.

The second debut group to follow is ‘Name’, a six-member rookie girl group from idol powerhouse HYPE Entertainment.

The team name ‘Name’ is a combination of ‘Na’ and ‘me’, and what they stand for is the subjectivity of maintaining their ‘self’ identity anytime, anywhere.

As the title song lyrics show, the concept is ‘No matter what others say, I don’t walk the set path. Why? Because that’s who I am.’

The girls’ confident yet cute bravado, and the kitschy yet addictive chorus and choreography especially garnered a lot of attention from teenage girls of the same age.

And today.

MXM Entertainment’s new member was the last of the three teams to step into the music industry.

MXM Entertainment’s first girl group, ‘Breeze’, was formed through the survival audition show ‘My Favorite Kids’.

There is a lot of interest and anticipation as to what kind of concept the new artist will be launched by MXM Entertainment, which owns Yuna, Sungjun, and Monsta Z.

Finally, the music video for Breeze’s title song has been released.

And the common reaction of people who encountered this was one.

“···what’s this?”
