Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook (You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook / 유희열의 스케치북)

Hello, it's nice to meet you.

Welcome to Sketchbook, everyone. I'm Yu Hui Yeol.

After last week's episode,

I got a chance to see this week's line up,

and I was immediately excited.

Today couldn't come faster.

We have a very special line up today.

This is very rare on Sketchbook. Today, all of our guests...

are women.

You wouldn't believe what I saw.

A women in the audience...

rolled her eyes like this.

She was disappointed to say the least.

I guess the audience is having mixed feelings about this.

The men probably couldn't be happier. Right?

Right! - Yes!

So let's lift our spirits up before we start the show. In 1, 2, 3.

Let's go! - Let's go!

For a minute there, I thought I was at...

a reserve forces training.

Ladies, can you soften your expressions up a bit?

A term called "Girl crush" is in trend nowadays,

and the artists we have lined up for you today...

are those that even women fancy.

So let's get right to it.

The first artist of today's episode is...

Aren't you dying to find out?

We are. - Yes.

Every summer...

No, you're wrong. It's not that group!

It's not them.

Stop saying the name of the group that starts with the letter "S".

The beasts of summer.

You were right. Please welcome Sistar.

Okay.

You all guessed their appearance when I said...

they're the ones that pop into your mind when you think of summer.

We have Sistar here.

Hello.

In 1, 2, 3.

We're the B, E, S, T, Sistar. - We're the B, E, S, T, Sistar.

Hello, we are Sistar. - Hello, we are Sistar.

As I heard the song, "Touch My Body",

I could feel that summer is really here.

In fact, we did some research on Sistar as you were coming today.

You've appeared in our programme 17 times so far...

including today's appearance.

You've been on this show more than any girl group.

What do you think? Do you feel comfortable being in our programme?

We only recently started feeling comfortable.

Really? - Yes.

Now, it's like home where we feel like we should always come visit.

We feel like we should come here at least once a year.

We feel that way. - I see. Since we're on the subject,

I'd like to ask you a question which can be a little embarrassing.

What does Sketchbook mean to Sistar?

Our best friend. - Your best friend?

Our best friend.

You don't have to say it in English.

It's like our best friend.

Our best friend. - Chinese or Japanese would work.

Why is it your best friend?

It just feels like when we release our next album...

and appear on Sketchbook again later,

you and the whole staff of this programme...

will be here just like always.

I see what you mean. - So it feels like an old friend.

In fact, there are not many changes in personnel in our programme.

We've had the same writers for a long time. Even the band...

hasn't changed from the beginning.

They've been together with us for almost 20 years.

What does Sketchbook mean to Da Som?

For me, it reminds me of...

a drawing paper.

What do you mean? I have no idea.

She often wanders in her talk.

We can draw anything on a piece of white drawing paper.

And Sketchbook itself means drawing paper.

On a drawing paper,

we can draw anything we want.

No matter what we draw,

or no matter what kind of performances we show,

the audience always love it.

They show enthusiastic responses to us the whole time.

So I'd say Sketchbook is like...

a drawing paper to me.

Okay.

Well, just like how Sketchbook means a lot to Sistar,

Sistar means a lot to Sketchbook, too.

It is always a great pleasure to see them on our show.

Are you busy these days?

Yes, our schedule is full.

We have a lot of programmes to appear on.

Even music programmes, right?

Yes. So I think that's why...

we don't have time...

to even sit down and rest when we're in the waiting room.

We don't even have time to eat.

It's similar to when we debuted.

Really? - Yes.

I heard you eat too much.

It takes a long time. - Maybe that's the problem.

I heard you eat so much.

Like always, they released a new album this summer.

What is the title of your new album?

It's "Insane Love". - "Insane Love"?

Yes. - It is the title of the album.

What does that mean?

It means that you love someone so much...

that you even forget about taking care of yourself.

It has a deep meaning. - Yes.

So that's why it is called "Insane Love".

It means you fall in love.

What's the next meaning?

You shouldn't have started it.

It means "love myself".

Okay, I see.

Because they release an album every summer,

I think it'll be hard to develop a new concept every time.

You've done pretty much everything.

We've done concepts like "cute and sexy", "fresh and sexy",

"lively and sexy" and "innocent and sexy".

There are various kinds of sexy concepts.

And our new concept is "oriental sexiness".

It is about oriental beauty.

Oriental beauty. - This is hard to grasp.

When I look at you, you just look like Sistar to me.

I can't really tell the difference. Can you elaborate a little bit?

Show us some facial expressions or gestures for each of those concepts.

Bo Ra, can you do that?

Try "fresh and sexy". - Okay.

Do "dreamy sexiness". - My goodness.

Give that one a try, Soyou.

Being dreamy is a part of our concept this time.

She did a very good job. - That was nice.

It just looked like she was gawking.

If you want to be dreamy, it should be like this.

I should look comfortable. - Okay.

You may think that I look sleepy,

but that's not it. I'm just trying to seem dreamy.

Okay. - That's what it is.

Let's say I get that.

You said your concept this time is "oriental sexiness".

How would you express that?

The background and props used in our music video...

look oriental for the new concept.

I see. - But the song itself...

is just for summer.

It has a cool feeling.

I'm describing it, but I have no idea what I'm talking about.

There is a reason why we released our new album in the summer.

Our songs like "Touch My Body" are good to hear...

especially in summer.

It feels great if you listen to them under the blazing sun.

I agree. It's even better on the beach.

Don't copy me.

And our new song "I Like That" is...

good to hear in the shade where the cool breeze blows.

If you listen to this song in such places,

it will feel even cooler.

It's good for a summer night. - You are right.

I see.

She looks like a host from a home shopping programme.

Da Som, how did you like the song when you heard it first?

Can I be honest with you? - Please be honest.

Let's be honest here.

I will be honest. - "I Like That".

Okay.

Frankly speaking, I didn't like it that much.

Why not?

You are being too honest.

But...

as I watched the video for the choreography,

I became to like it.

You didn't like it at first. - When I heard the song itself,

I wasn't so sure about it. I wasn't sure if it was a good choice or not.

You just looked very scary.

Her expression when she talked was scary.

Okay.

You looked intimidating. - That's not it.

It is not easy to choose a right song every time.

Right. - We need to be careful.

So I was wondering whether we made the right choice or not.

But as I watched the video,

I became to like it.

I started to like it.

Bo Ra, what do you think...

is the best thing about your new album?

There is a song that Hyolyn wrote in our new album.

Please give her a big hand.

She did a good job. - That's great.

Your agency must have been very particular about your album.

How was it? You must be excited.

I know you wanted it so much.

In fact, I wrote the song a long time ago.

I think I wrote it 2 to 3 years ago.

They didn't like my song at that time.

I guess they've become more open now.

What is the title? - It is "Say I Love You".

What did you care the most about when you wrote the song?
