Album 7. Options
Whether you're rapping, in an indie band, or making music that's difficult to define a genre.
There is a natural attitude that comes with making music in the underground.
That is, hostility toward overground music.
In particular, the most commercial idol music is the number one target of gossip.
After COVID-19, this atmosphere will disappear as world stars are born, but this was not the case yet in 2017.
Of course, that doesn't mean that all underground musicians hate idols.
There are people who like it.
However, if all your colleagues hate idols, you have no choice but to keep quiet.
Sim Seong-bo, who plays keyboard in an indie band called
In fact, Shim Seong-bo was immersed in Han Si-on's music these days.
"Honestly, isn't Han Si-on so pretentious?"
However, it was a bit difficult to shield the members from gossiping behind their backs.
In this case, there was only one choice.
"I don't know. "I don't listen."
Pretending to be indifferent.
In Shim Seong-bo's opinion, Han Si-on has properly addressed the negative feelings of underground musicians.
Han Si-on is good at music.
He's really good at that too.
He's so crazy good that Chris Edwards recognizes him as a genius.
Still, I want to become an idol, so I dance on stage and act cute.
'Have you ever acted cute?'
The reason underground musicians continue making music even when they feel hungry is because they want to create something decent.
If I had as much talent as Han Si-on, I wouldn't have done something like that.
I think I could have made better music in a better position.
This created a sense of relative deprivation.
So whenever underground musicians gathered together, they were busy criticizing Hansion.
"Sim Seong-bo, are you really not listening?"
"I heard it on the street. But I don't listen to each other."
"okay? "Why not give it a listen?"
"Why? here?"
"There's nothing to do."
The guitarist who said that went to the studio's shared computer and searched for 'Hansion' on a music site.
"Two songs now, huh?"
"why?"
"Three songs?"
"what?"
"Because there are three songs on the music charts."
"Eh?"
Shim Seong-bo got up from his seat and quickly headed to the computer.
When I took the subway to the studio, there were only
'Oh, was what was broadcast yesterday released as an audio source?'
Weed's
Although it was briefly covered on the broadcast, it was a place with a very nice feel.
However, Weed's song was not released as a digital version.
What appeared on the music charts was a familiar title.
-Remake Under the Streetlight (Feat. Jo Ki-jeong)
"What, you already did a remake?"
"I'm going crazy just because I gained some popularity."
"If Jo Ki-jeong, isn't he the original singer?"
"I guess it's right?"
The guitarist shrugged and played a newly uploaded song.
As the drum sound began to be heard, the
This is a drum line that falls somewhere between calm and rhythmic.
These drums are more like poles on which anything can be raised.
You can make something funky, or you can make something heavy.
What will go up here?
The correct answer was Han Si-on's voice.
Before I could even enjoy the drums, Han Zion's song with guitar, bass, and keyboard started.
"… … ."
"… … ."
As expected from indie band players, they initially focused on their instruments.
The bass tried to pick out the bass line, and the guitar listened to pick out the guitar line.
Keyboardist Shim Seong-bo focused on the keyboard.
However, from the moment you leave the introduction, each instrument becomes indistinguishable.
The feeling of them coming together and creating a melody is so fantastic.
Behind the drums, the bass forms a ghost note, and the keyboard picks up the guitar's reverb.
How can this be?
Is this possible?
Isn't this something you could only hear on LPs by Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones?
I'm dying to see the sheet music.
But at the same time, I don't want to take my ears off the music.
However,
Anyone who loves band play cannot ignore it.
Shim Seong-bo thought about that and looked at the members' faces.
Everyone's mouths were open and they were thinking the same thing as him.
A whirlwind of 4 minutes and 13 seconds passed by, and the song ended.
The studio is quiet.
The first to speak was the vocalist.
"Hey, honestly, I like Han Si-on."
"what?"
"No, I'm not an instrument player. to be honest… … . Hansion's expressiveness is second to none. "How can you sing like that?"
"But me too."
The guitarist was the next to speak.
Everyone looked dumbfounded at the confession of the guitarist who had been at the forefront of Hansion's gossip.
"Hey, you wake up all the time."
"No, I thought you guys would say it was good. "Then I tried to pretend that I couldn't win and that it was okay."
"Are you crazy? "Why do we have to pretend that we can't overcome that?"
"I'm jealous because you're so good at it… … . Plus, he's handsome. "Fuck."
"That's right… … ."
And so the confession began, and Evening Promise learned a shocking truth.
In fact, all of them were Shai fans.
I was just doing normal cosplay, or indie-style cosplay, because I was embarrassed.
Shim Seong-bo was absurd, but when he thought about it, he was no different.
I never stepped forward and added anything, but I just quietly listened.
After learning about each other's identities, something happened that made us agree.
"Isn't there any sheet music for this released?"
"okay?"
"Let's pick it and post a cover video. "Wouldn't it get some views if I posted it as Ilppa?"
"Hey, look it up on YouTube. "Maybe another band posted it first."
"How long has it been since the music came out?"
The guitarist who said that searched YouTube and discovered a shocking fact.
[CUN] Is this really improvisation? Feat Lee Hyun-seok, Jo Ki-jeong ┃ unaired version]
That the
That wasn't all.
[CUN] Chris Edward
Si-On Han and Chris Edward sit in front of two grand pianos prepared by the production crew and have a conversation.
[Xion, let's start with Norwegian Flower and mix it up.]
[Mix what?]
[well. How about Tony Bennett? This is the Big Boss I really like.]
[It's good. Should I make it a representative song? I left my heart in Sanfrancisco.]
[Oh, as expected. What do you know? Let's play around with the variations of the two songs.]
Two people who were having an incomprehensible conversation start playing the piano.
Chris Edwards starts playing first, and Sion Han, who has been listening for a while, joins in.
Anyone can tell that this is an impromptu duet.
However, the result was not at the level of improvisation.
excellent.
♬♪♪♪♪♪~
Chris Edwards, who had been tapping the keyboard non-stop, suddenly burst out laughing and stopped playing.
[Hey, it's so K-pop!]
[What do you think? I like this.]
[good. Tastes must be respected. Then, shall I try making Tony Bennett dance?]
When Chris Edward tapped the piano again, this time Hansion burst out laughing.
[I could arrange it as EDM.]
[Oh, I should write it down in my composition notebook.]
The camera loses focus, and the video ends.
In a moment of silence, Evening Promise shared similar sentiments.
It's not like the piano improvisation you just did is a popular hit or something that will touch people's hearts.
But Han Si-on seemed free.
So much so that he communicated through melody with a big name named Chris Edwards.
One talent is certain.
"How many views does this have?"
In response to Shim Seong-bo's question, the guitarist confirmed the number of views.
Then he blinked foolishly.
I don't know what happened, but it got a whopping 4 million views.

I think I got over a hundred calls today.
Was that really an improvisation that you did with Zion?
But, it's improvisation.
Originally, Ki-jeong's older brother, that is, the singer of the original song, Jo Ki-jeong, was not in Seoul for an event.
But the event broke down, there was no need to go down to the countryside, and all of a sudden they came to our studio.
Shall we listen to Zion recording there and have a jam? So that's what came out… … .
It's the remake version that's currently #1 on the music charts.
Ah, but I guess I'm also a broadcaster.
I've been thinking about solving this story on live since this morning?
oh my! Thank you for donating 100,000 won to Hansiiion Saemiro!

I don't remember exactly, but I think I had that thought around the 20th episode.
Now my music is complete.
Of course, I will continue to write new songs with new inspiration.
You may learn new vocal techniques and even master a new instrument.
But if that improves the essence of my music, no.
Because I'm already finished.
Around that time, I started taking a deep interest in marketing.
Before that, I thought I wouldn't be able to sell 200 million copies based on my skills alone, but from this point on, I became obsessed with marketing.
Since my skills aren't improving anymore, I need to make the wrapping paper fancy.
So, I studied marketing using two managers as role models.
Manager Brian Epstein was called the fifth member of the Beatles.
Colonel Tom Parker, the manager who created today's Elvis Presley.
And then I lived the exact same life three times.
I was curious about what would happen if we changed the marketing method with the same singer, same time, and same song.
As a result, it didn't end well.
After living the same life three times in a row, I couldn't help but become crazy.
I was always confused as to whether this was something I said in my last life or this life, and my interpersonal relationships were similar.
It looks like he may have experienced regression in a mental hospital... … .
anyway.
What I wanted to say was that no one knows more about musician marketing than I do.
In that sense… … .
'Things have changed.'
I can feel the surroundings around me changing.
PD Kang Seok-woo started distributing content related to me like a runaway train, and unidentified forces are creating positive issues related to me.
It's probably a joint product between M Show and Ryan's marketing department.
At the same time, in order to prevent my image from being overly consumed, I do not disclose anything related to my private life.
According to what Uncle Hyunsu said, he even threatened to take legal action if we spread stories about my parents.
The program's scales were completely tipped.
Coming Up Next is no longer a take scene, but a program for me.
Satisfies.
It's the picture I've wanted from the beginning, and it's the way to get closer to my goal.
Despite this, I can't feel refreshed... … .
"It was a stage created by the individual capabilities of Hansion participants, and other members benefited from it."
blue.
"I would like to give high marks to the stage itself. However, I doubt whether it would have achieved this level of perfection without a member named Han Si-on."
Yoo Seonhwa Trainer.
"Speaking as a composer, Hansion's arrangement is close to a cheat. It was such a perfect interpretation of the song. However, Sedalbaekil failed to reproduce that interpretation."
Composer Lee Chang-jun.
"Nangjungjichu. The awl comes out through the pocket. It may mean something good, but it may also mean something bad. "Three months and a hundred days later, my pocket was torn by an awl."
Representative Choi Dae-ho.
It was as if it had been squeezed.
As soon as the mission was over, harsh criticism was poured out towards Sedalbaekil.
That's when I realized it.
What I am standing on the other side of the scale is not a take scene, but three months and a hundred days.
