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.

You're very lucky today.

Today's theme is just perfect for this hot...

and humid weather.

It's called "Swag of Hot Summer Nights".

Thank you very much.

This is exciting, isn't it?

For today's episode, we've invited the singers...

who are very talented and very sophisticated.

And the guest singers have a few things in common.

First, they are very proud of their songs.

Second, they have straightforward personality.

You will see what I mean.

You'll see why I told you today's guest singers full of swag.

He came up with these fad words last summer.

It's "It's hot."

He will heat up this hot summer night.

He's one of the best looking rappers.

He's Zico.

Hey, hands up!

Clap your hands.

Thank you.

All right.

He writes the trendiest and attractive songs these days.

He's Zico. Welcome.

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

He's still out of breath.

That's so cool. You look great today.

Thank you.

Did you go hunting today?

Well, it's kind of like that. It's not about hunting.

I tried to look like a fisherman. - Right.

I want to catch your heart.

That's why I'm dressed like this.

Where did you learn that from?

Who are the dancers...

who performed with you? I haven't seen them before.

They are Riehata Tokyo,

a world famous dance team.

They worked with Chris Brown, Rihanna, Omarion,

and other international musicians.

So when I wrote this song,

I thought I had to dance with them.

So I went to Japan.

And visited Kawasaki where they live to have a meeting with them.

I eventually managed to persuade them to work with me.

By the way, I really liked your new song.

But I couldn't sing it along as I haven't heard it before.

What song was that?

The song is in my second mini album...

which will be released tomorrow.

The title is "Artist". It's the title track of the album.

Zico participated in producing and creative directing...

of his new album. Please give him a round of applause.

I heard your new album has double title tracks.

Yes, it has double title tracks.

What's the other title track?

One is "Artist", and the other is...

a song called "Anti". - What is it about?

It literally means "Anti".

I wrote the song as if I'm an anti-fan of myself.

I see.

I wrote it in the perspective of a person who hates me.

I tried to criticize myself with this song.

It's like a role-play.

I just show the situation in fiction.

That sounds fun. I like the idea.

"Show Me the Money 6" has just begun.

When I heard that you'd be in that show,

I thought it was really cool.

He said something when he was here last time.

He said he was criticized by people so harshly.

What made you decide to be in that show again despite all that?

Well, I thought... - Yes?

To be honest, I thought "Show Me the Money 4" would be the last season.

So I wanted to be a part of it...

when the program was very popular.

That's why I decided to appear in that show despite all that.

I joined season six for the same reason.

I thought it would be the last season.

I wanted to be a part of the grand finale.

And there are a lot of great rappers in the program.

After I finish the show,

I find myself making progress while shooting that show.

You are very active in many fields.

I dare say he's the trendiest and sophisticated producer.

Can you name the producer that you respect the most?

Just be honest. That's not it.

What's wrong?

I can see an arrow pointing at you.

I'm not that kind of person.

Of course I respect Yu Hui Yeol.

The word "of course" sounds a bit offensive.

All right. Who else? - That's not what I meant.

Just name three people.

Yu Hui Yeol.

Lee Hyun Do.

And Seo Tai Ji. - Lee Hyun Do?

And you said Seo Tai Ji.

Right. - Why?

First of all, he just brought out everything...

about him...

at such an early age.

He was a sensation in the country.

You're right. - And its culture.

That is one good enough reason to respect him.

That just explains everything.

Even his name Seo Tai Ji...

makes my heart pound. That's why I admire him so much.

He literally created a sensation.

You all remember the time Seo Tai Ji made his debut.

When you make an album, the producer's role is very important.

It's like opening the way for a singer.

What if...

you are the producer of my album?

My new album.

What kind of song would you write with your trendy sense?

Look at me.

What if I ask you to write me a song?

Just write whatever you want for me.

Is it that hard?

No, it's not. I think I would write an abstract song.

For example... - For example?

It's like... Spring...

You keep stammering.

It's like a season song.

A season song? - And here's the main theme.

What's the main theme?

"I want to tell you..."

"about my feelings for you."

"But I can't have it my way. It's like a broken antenna."

Hang on. It was like a metaphor.

Did I make a mistake?

No. - I was improvising.

I like it.

Broken antenna.

I really like it. It's so humiliating.

I didn't mean it.

I feel like something is broken.

It feels like... - The song says...

I'm left alone in the open sea.

I love it. - "Please fix it for me."

"So that we can communicate telepathically."

"So that you can read my mind."

That sounds nice. - "Please fix my broken antenna."

What's the title of the song? I want to release it immediately.

It should be long.

I like that. Like "That I Was Once By Your Side".

I like long titles. - It should be super long.

It's so long...

that you can't read the full title without clicking your song.

Gosh.

You are a genius. You're a great producer.

It's like "When the Sunlight Strikes Through the Windows..."

"in My Apartment..."

"Broken Antenna?"

"I want to get a tan with you..."

"lying on the rooftop."

"Then..."

Is it... - "you'll see my broken antenna."

Is that the title of my song? - Yes.

As an event, those who can memorize...

the whole title of your song will get a prize.

I like it, but what should DJs do when they introduce my song?

People use abbreviations a lot these days.

Like how? What's the abbreviation for my song?

To be honest, I forgot the title.

One thing is for certain though.

I'd be in the Guinness Records with the world's longest song title.

You're right. - I see.

Zico has worked with a lot of popular singers...

such as Zion.T, Dean, Su Ran,

Crush, Psy, Dynamic Duo, and so on.

Among the musicians you've worked with,

who gave you the hardest time unlike your expectation?

It's not like...

he gave me hard times. I just realized...

how hard it is to become a producer working with him.

Who is it?

I worked on "Luv It" with Psy.

That's surprising. I thought you two would hit it off.

I wrote...

the song with laid-back which has retro styles.

You know what laid-back means, right?

The song is not on beat.

Young hip hop musicians like Zico make it laid-back.

They don't sing on beat.

They sing to laid-back rhythms.

For example...

Can you play the drums? - Can you...

Please.

Yu Hui Yeol's

Listen. If you sing on beat...

This is how it sounds.

This is laid-back rhythm.

It's laid-back. - This is what it sounds like.
