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.

Lucky for us, today was declared as a temporary national holiday.

So we're having a long weekend starting Thursday.

I believe that's why none of you look as tired.

It must be great to get time off like this.

All right, so let me introduce you to our first artist today...

who's here to show us a good time.

He's one of the hottest artists in Korea right now.

Every song he releases tops all major charts...

and he's someone that especially the ladies can't get enough of.

The master of sentimental hip-hop. Please welcome Crush!

Shout it out for me.

Do you know this song?

Clap your hands, clap your hands.

Everyone.

Sing with me. In 1, 2, 3.

Thank you.

As I was watching him perform, I was getting so jealous.

When I see great singers like him, I think life is just so unfair.

The only thing I have is my looks!

The creator of mega-hit songs, Crush, is here. Welcome!

Hello, I'm Crush. It's very nice to meet you.

You were so cool. - Thank you so much.

I just witnessed the power of music once again.

It's not easy to look cool wearing an outfit like this.

What he's wearing now looks like a double extra-large size...

of those clothes you wear at saunas.

Those of you who watched last week's show would know.

There's an artist named Sam Kim.

Crush was here last week to feature in one of Sam's performances.

It was for a song called "No Sense". For that 18-second-long part,

he had to wait for eight hours.

You're such a great friend.

Thank you so much. To show you my gratitude,

I want to do something for you. Is there anything you want?

Actually, today is my birthday.

So...

Really? - As everyone knows,

Sam belongs to the agency you run.

Well, you know I waited for eight hours...

in the waiting room.

That's right. - It'd be amazing...

if you can thank me for it.

You rarely thank people.

His real name is Hyo Seob.

Hyo Seob. - Yes.

Come here.

Thank you.

Thank you. - This is for you.

I prepared it for you.

It's not much at all.

It's 10 dollars. - That's right!

Is it for taxi fare? - Yes, take a taxi home.

By the way, Crush is super popular these days.

Let me give you an example.

I read this comment about him. "Even his nostrils are adorable."

Oh, my. - You have adorable nostrils.

Tell me. When do you realise how popular you've become?

It really didn't hit me until very recently.

To be honest, I still can't believe it.

But when I go clubbing...

Oh, do you go clubbing? - Yes, I do.

When I go clubbing... - Why don't you call me?

Pardon me? - You never called me about it.

Am I not cool enough? - That's not it.

There's an age limit. - What?

Well...

Go on. You must hear your songs a lot at clubs.

That's right. - Ladies must recognise you...

and say, "Is this your song?" - Yes. When I go to hip-hop clubs,

I do hear my songs quite a bit. - Of course!

"Oh, she's mine". I'm sure you hear your songs.

Well, I want to let you know that I'm not trying to brag.

Say whatever you want. I want to hear everything.

At clubs, ladies recognise me and swarm towards me.

There's this hat that I always wear.

Right, you have that weird hat. - Yes, that one.

I make sure to wear that hat when I go clubbing.

To make people spot you? - Yes, I want them to recognise me.

Go on.

What do they say? - They come over to me...

and ask me if I'm Crush. Then I just nod like this.

You say yes? - Yes. I say, "I'm Crush."

If that's the case... - I shouldn't look too excited.

You should act cool. - Then how are you supposed to act?

I go, "Yes." Like this.

"What do you want me to say?" - Exactly.

But inside, you're... - I'm super thrilled inside.

Do you act like that the whole time?

I have to maintain that attitude the whole night.

Until you come home? - That's right.

Then you don't really gain anything.

Well, you are right about that.

But I just wanted to feel what it's like.

I like that answer. - I don't go often though.

Do you dance when you go clubbing?

Of course I dance. I groove to the rhythm.

I learned it from Monster Woo...

for about 3 to 4 months. - You couldn't dance at all?

I didn't know how to dance at all.

Then what kind of dance did you learn from him?

Just basic stuff, like this isolation move.

What did you say? Iso... What? - Pardon me?

I'm not really good at it. It's called isolation.

Stand up. What is isolation?

What is it?

Well, it's sort of like doing a shoulder wave like this.

It's similar to this. - I see.

I actually haven't done it in a very long time.

Show me. I want to see it. - I think I did horribly.

Not at all. I want to see the dance.

It's something like this.

I can't do it. - Don't say that.

This shirt is making it look cool. - It helps, doesn't it?

You're doing just fine.

I do wave dance like this.

Dance as you sing, like you did that time.

Hug, hug, hug me

I'm sorry.

Then... - I think that was so horrible.

He doesn't move much but I could still feel the energy.

You were only moving a little bit, but I could feel the vibe.

Thank you. - Especially that part. What was it?

It was the last song you performed.

There was that part where you were screaming.

That's right. - What were the lyrics?

"We have the same goal tonight".

"Yes, yes, yes" You mean this part, right?

Oh, was it "yes"? - That's correct.

That part was awesome.

It's actually not that high-pitched.

I see. - I tried a higher pitch today.

Right. - Yes.

I know that you rarely scream like that when you perform.

That was very different. - Is that right?

Do it again for me, please.

Tonight, we will, yes, yes, yes

"Tonight, we will"... - Yes!

Right, that's how you sang.

But what does that "yes" mean? What does it imply?

What would it mean? - That "yes" means...

the absolute climax.

What? - No, that's not what I meant.

It's the climax of feelings...

What did you say? - you have for someone.

The climax of feelings? - That's right.

Even I'm shocked. Do you know what that means?

Yes, I know. - I see. That's what you meant.

Let's move on to the next question.

It's the climax of the desire you have for someone.

Loving someone that much. - Right, loving someone that much.

Yes, that's correct. I'm sorry, Hui Yeol.

I also love your song, "Sofa".

Right, "Sofa". - When should this song be sung?

This song is about a man who is at fault.

There's this part in the lyrics.

"My heart won't stop beating even if I try not to breathe".

Great lyrics. - I use falsetto to sing that part.

I love falsetto.

My heart won't stop beating even if I try not to breathe

I see. I got it. I can totally do it.

I know exactly how to sing it. "My heart"...

My heart won't stop beating even if I try not to breathe

Wow.

How dare you laugh. - I'm sorry.

All right. As everyone knows, all of your songs...

have been topping all major music charts upon being released.

Just like your name, Crush,

you've been literally crushing other artists on music charts.

Our show will air on Friday. - Yes.

I know that you're releasing another new song.

When is it being released? - Today.

The day that this show airs. - That's correct.

On a national holiday. - That's right!

It'll make everyone happier. - If that's the case,

are you introducing your new song in Sketchbook for the first time?

Yes.

I'm very excited.

This is his first time to sing it.

Let's hear the song then.

And it's time to say goodbye. Say something to the viewers.

Everyone, my album is just released today.

I hope you enjoy listening to my songs.

Thank you. - Okay.

Happy birthday to you again.

Thank you. - Thank you.

This is for you.

You shouldn't have.

Let's say goodbye to Crush. Thank you for joining us today.

Thank you.

Okay.

In this next part, we are going to ask for your participation.

This is "Audience Quality Control, I Am the King".

Let me introduce my co-host, the fascinating lady,

the fairy of Sketchbook.

Park Ji Sun!

Oh, no.

Please say hello to the audience. - Hello. I'm Park Ji Sun.

Nice to see you.
