How Do You Play? (놀면 뭐하니?)

Next.

- Chung Sung Hwa. - Yes.

- The "television" man. - You're on television.

What song will Chung Sung Hwa sing on the telly?

Shall we find out?

Chung Sung Hwa's song is...

(What song did Musical Actor Sung Hwa pick?)

(The lyrical opening sounds both familiar and unfamiliar.)

"Reminiscence."

It suits you well.

- In Sung Hwa's voice... - This song...

("Kim Sung Ho's Reminiscence" by Kim Sung Ho)

- We talked about this. - Yes.

- It works. It's a good match. - Yes.

(It's a perfect song for Sung Hwa's sentimental vocals.)

Why did you choose this song?

Of all the songs, when I listened to this one from start to finish,

it felt like I'd watched a whole movie.

That's true.

And as a musical actor, I care a lot about conveying lyrics,

and I wanted to put my skills to use.

- It would sound great. - If you sing it,

it will sound more like repentance than reminiscence.

Seriously.

(Sung Hwa's reminiscence might sound extra painful.)

Next up is Choi Jung Hoon.

You must want to know what song he chose to sing.

(What did the romantic vocalist pick?)

Shall we find out?

"You Let Me..."

This song is called...

"You Let Me Go with a Smile."

- It's practically Jannabi's song. - Yes.

It has a long title as many Jannabi songs do.

- Do you like long titles? - Right.

I went through a list of songs from the 1980s,

- and many of them have long titles. - Yes.

I'd never heard this title before.

I see.

But I listened to the song and realized I knew it.

The song was familiar to me, but the title was not.

I think that song will sound really cool...

if he sings it in his style.

- It will sound different. - Yes.

I looked forward to seeing Jung Hoon sing a duet.

Yes.

- Jung Hoon's a member of Jannabi. - Yes.

And Dong Qn sang "Butterfly."

I thought these two could team up and be "Jannabi Butterfly."

"Jannabi Butterfly."

- That was just an idea. - Butterfly

- Why are you creating teams? - No.

Wouldn't you love to hear them sing together?

It looks like he'll sing alone, though.

I know you're close, but don't you hate that?

- No, I love it. - Do you?

He said the right thing at the perfect time.

- I should learn from him. - Yes.

I can learn.

Next up is Yu Ree.

- Choi Yu Ree. - Yu Ree's song.

You must have high expectations.

She was going to sing with me.

Here's the song she chose.

I wonder what song it is.

(What song did Yu Ree choose instead of Myung Soo?)

(Jang Hye Ri's hardcore fan smiles from ear to ear.)

- She'll sing this song. - The song suited her voice well.

- It's perfect for her. - It's perfect.

- Her voice was made for this song. - Yes.

(Everyone nods as if they planned this.)

- You know what? - It's perfect for her voice.

When her song was revealed, we all went like this.

"Yes. This is great."

This was the reaction from everyone.

Could you tell us why you chose this song?

Actually, when we were filming for the first time,

I knew I wanted to sing this song.

That's when I started to consider this song.

At first, I also thought about playing an instrument onstage.

But you told us that we couldn't arrange the song.

So I'm still trying to decide on what to do.

I chose the song, but I need to decide on the approach.

- On how to perform the song. - I see.

Let's say that all of our cover songs are...

- released online. - Yes?

Then I bet her song will be in the top three no matter what.

I mean, I would love to listen to it.

- Right. - Of course.

Truly. She picked a great song.

As we listened to the song Yu Ree chose for the festival,

we now know the selected songs for five participants so far.

We'll finally move on to the mixed-gender groups.

- There are mixed-gender teams? - There's a duo.

All right. Let's listen to the song first.

- Who are they? - Who are they?

- Oh, my. - After we listen to the song,

I'll tell you...

- who they are. All right. - Is it Jannabi?

- I didn't see this coming. - Everyone is chatting now.

Gosh, it's Seoul Family's song.

I mentioned that song.

Right. Juck mentioned this group.

That's right.

I listened to it, and the song has ridiculously high notes.

(Will it be Lee Jun Young who can pull off powerful dance moves?)

(Or will it be Lee Yong Jin who can execute high notes?)

(Or will it be Ralral with a charming voice?)

(Or will it be Solar who can sing powerfully?)

Gosh, I love the vibe of the song.

"From Now" by Seoul Family...

(The male and female singers of the song will be revealed now!)

Ralral and Lee Yong Jin will sing the song.

("From Now" by Ralral and Lee Yong Jin)

They'll make the perfect team.

- Let's go. - You know what?

- This song will be perfect for you. - It suits their voice well.

- I bet it will go viral. - It's perfect for them.

Both of them have a high-pitched voice.

I got the feeling that not a lot of people...

- would pick an upbeat song. - Right.

- But this is a song festival. - Yes.

That's why Ralral and I...

reminded ourselves of our duty.

I wanted to give people...

- You guys are so cool. - a fun performance with a twist.

That's what I had in mind.

So I contacted her first.

Is that so?

I was really grateful, though. You know that Ralral...

- has perfect pitch. - Yes.

I had never harmonized with another singer before.

- I see. - But she handled everything.

He memorized the notes for the female singer.

- Yes, that's what I did. - Seriously.

- Really? - Yes.

Your voice is really high-pitched.

I thought we had to be ready...

- by the time we met up. - It was touching.

When I listened to the karaoke instrumental track,

the original notes were sung by the male singer.

I realized that the female singer had to harmonize with his notes.

(Why don't you listen to the song too?)

(We recorded the song ourselves to help you understand it better.)

(The female part adds harmony to the melody.)

(The harmony between the male and female singers stands out.)

I'm not exaggerating this at all.

We sang it like 40 times yesterday.

It was just the two of us.

The two of us practiced so hard...

- that later, it felt unfair. - Why?

I wondered,

"Will the other participants practice as hard as us?"

That crossed my mind.

But our harmony must be precise.

- He kept getting the notes wrong. - This is...

the hardest I've worked on something in my life.

- Really? - Yes.

But we must practice. Your notes are all off.

- Still? - But...

- The notes are all off. - Really?

- How much longer must you practice? - You know what?

I didn't want to correct him.

- But I could hear the wrong notes. - So...

- She has perfect pitch. - She has perfect pitch.

- So... - You know what he does, right?

"I see. I got it. Yes. Okay."

He said okay, but he kept singing the notes flat.

We practiced for two hours, but he kept saying he got it.

- But his notes kept falling flat. - It was really hard.

- He's used to singing alone. - You know what?

After singing the song about 40 times,

here's what I became determined to accomplish.

This is what I said to her.

"Let's not be participants who make the winners..."

"of the Gold and Silver Awards look good."

I'm serious. Let me explain. After practicing so hard,

- I didn't think it'd be fair. - Of course.

- They're the best. - So...

We practiced so hard that I felt it wouldn't be fair.

I told him to stay in tune.

You told him to stay in tune.

So can he do that or not?

- He can't. - I can't. That's why it's unfair.

I sang the song 40 times, but I still can't stay in tune.

- Even after 40 times? - This isn't just fair.

- After 40 times... - It made me so furious.

I don't expect to win the Silver Award.

- Why make it sound like you can? - If he could stay in tune...

This is making me furious.

- He just got furious. - I was so furious.

You'll have to sing a duet, but you're not getting along at all.

- Anyway, you guys are practicing... - I can't wait.

very diligently until the festival.

- I'm looking forward to it. - Okay.

Next, let's listen to the song Solar chose.

I can't wait to find out what song she chose for herself.

Let's hear it.

- It's "Beautiful Country." - "Beautiful Country."

(A familiar melody catches their ears.)
