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

Hello. Nice to meet you.

I thank all of you for coming to Sketchbook.

My name is Yu Hui Yeol.

It's finally starting to smell like summer now.

The weather has been fickle lately.

Before we enjoy the rain,

we have to worry about the storm coming.

So today,

for those of you who have a lot of worries...

Let me see...

For those of you who cannot sleep at night,

we brought a well known doctor in the field of music.

So called Music Medicine that will soothe your heart.

Isn't it amazing? The music's right on cue.

The person we're going to bring in is...

Are there any of you who feels like you're having an indigestion...

or feel uncomfortable?

Yes. - Right. Yes.

Exactly two people answered me.

We prepared this for them.

As soon as you listen to this song,

you'll have an unique experience of your heart opening up.

He's digestive medicine in the field of music.

But he's pretty big to be digestive medicine.

It's g.o.d's main vocal, Kim Tae Woo.

Please sing along.

All together.

When love rains...

Bring the feel back.

Come on.

All together. Come on.

One more time.

All together. 1, 2, 3.

How was it? Do you feel your heart opening up?

Kim Tae Woo is here. Hello.

Hello. Nice to meet you. I'm Kim Tae Woo.

You look awesome. - Thank you.

When I was watching your performance...

The last was "One Candle", right? - Yes.

When I saw everyone clapping and singing along,

I thought it was a church service on Easter.

What songs did you sing?

The first song was my first solo song...

called "Words I'd Want to say". - Right.

Then the next one was an OST song that a lot of people loved.

It's called "Dreaming Dream".

Then I sang "Love Rain" and "One Candle".

Especially when "Love Rain" played,

everyone was screaming.

Then you went like "Love rains are falling".

I thought you'd bring this place down.

I tried but I couldn't.

But... - Maybe I should've gone longer.

It was very awesome.

"Love Rain" was loved by a lot of people,

but he wasn't originally planning on singing it at first.

Why was that?

There's this writer I've known for a very long time.

That writer wrote this song.

We were working together,

but I bugged him so much that... - Yes.

he told me to leave him alone for a month.

Hyung Seung? - Yes.

He told me to leave him alone and don't even call him.

He said then he'll come up with a very good song in three weeks.

So I really didn't call him...

and left him alone.

Then three weeks later, he called me.

Usually composers make a demo...

in a weird language. - Right.

So did he.

When I first listened to the song, it didn't make sense at all.

He really sang like this.

I like it.

Something like this. - Did you say sabari?

You know they say something like this a lot,

so while I was listening, I asked him what this was.

That's really what I said to him. I got mad at him...

because I had to produce an album,

and he made a promise. - You asked him what this was.

He wrote something I didn't like.

But then he's never been so desperate with me before.

So I listened to it again,

and the more I listened, the better the song was.

At first, you didn't know what this was.

That happens a lot. - A lot. Yes.

Sometimes I'm not sure,

but people love it. - Right.

When I first listened to this song, I said this to Tae Woo.

What year did this song come out?

It came out in 2009.

I loved the song so much...

I told him it's the best song of 2009.

Do you remember that? - Right. You said that.

I was very happy to hear that. - Yes.

I said this is the best song of the year.

Right. I was on Sketchbook at the time,

Right. - and you said that to me.

I was very happy to hear that.

Really? Then I probably helped a bit making the song into a hit.

Yes.

I did? - You did a lot.

I did a bit of work in there?

Yes, about 28 percent.

Really? But you never called me.

Recently, including Joon,

Hee Jun from H.O.T,

and Eric from Shinhwa... - Yes.

A lot of people are getting married.

Actually, you're the first one to get married as an idol.

Yes. I know.

Actually there are three attractive men even for a man.

They're Son Ho Young, Yoon Kye Sang, and Danny.

Have you heard anything about them getting married?

No, not yet.

They really are not interested in getting married.

When the time comes, even if we try to stop them...

Right. - they'll get married.

Tae Woo is not only a singer, but a husband,

and a father of multiple children.

He has three children, So Yeul, Ji Yeul and Hae Yeul.

Do you often sing to your children?

I used to do it while raising mine.

I sing children songs for them.

Like what? - I've been singing "Shark Song".

"Shark Song"? - Do you know?

How do you know?

I've never heard of it. How does it go?

Oh, it's...

There's a shark family in the song. It's very addictive.

What is it? - Do you want to hear it?

Imagine I'm your kid.

Hui Yeol Shark

Wait, you just made it up, didn't you? I've never heard this.

It's real, right?

There's really a song like this?

This song is awesome.

Sing it again. - Seriously.

Do it again. - It's addictive.

Shark - No.

Hui Yeol Shark

Hui Yeol Shark

Hui Yeol Shark

Is that all? - This is it.

Hui Yeol Shark - Hui Yeol Shark

Hui Yeol Shark - Hui Yeol Shark

Hui Yeol Shark - Hui Yeol Shark

This...

I can sing it all night. - I mean...

One time, I played the song for them.

Seriously, there's nothing but this in the song.

And the lyrics change.

How?

The song starts with the baby's name and then shark.

Then you sing, "Mother Shark"

And the third verse goes like this.

Father Shark

The whole family's in the song.

Uncle, aunt, and everyone's in the song.

When does the song end? - It doesn't.

It doesn't end? - But once you turn it on,

the kids just keep on watching.

They just go like that for hours?

They don't stop.

Wow. - Really.

Actually, amongst children...

this song is the biggest hit right now.

I guess kids need songs with lots of repetition.

Yes, you're right.

Tae Woo never fails to give a great performance wherever he is,

whether or not it's a singing competition program.

Is there a song even you have a hard time singing?

Well,

I've come to be known as...

a singer with powerful vocals.

But these days, many musicians...

are singing soft and gentle songs.

As if whispering. - Yes.

Everyone's singing gently now.

Crush sings very softly.

You're right. - Yes, and there's also...

G-Dragon who recently came out with the song "Untitled, 2014".

He sang it very softly. - He did.

And also...

he has so much swag in his pronunciations.

He does. - So I tried copying him.

And it was so strange.

How did you copy him?

Well,

so the lyrics were...

Zion T. you're my complex, man

Those were the exact lyrics.

But it sounded like,

Zion T. you're my complex, man

Like that.

You do it so well.

Amazing. - So I...

got hooked on that verse,

so I went around the office going,

Zion T. you're my complex, man
