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'd notice how it looks...

somewhat different from usual.

We always say...

Sketchbook is a high-class music program.

No one believes it though.

So we prepared something special...

for today's episode to prove it.

This is Monthly Sketchbook...

that we present once a month.

Today is the March issue.

It's called Early Spring Concert Special,

The...

Piano!

That's enough.

It's awesome, isn't it?

Some of you may think...

I look so pathetic doing such things.

All right. I will now introduce...

the best pianists in the country.

First,

he is Musical Fairy of the Piano,

Jung Jae Hyung.

Next up is...

a piano virtuoso. He is like...

an archaeopteryx of pianists, I'd say.

He's the best pianist, Kim Kwang Min.

Let me introduce our next guest. Some of you wouldn't know who he is.

I guarantee he is the best pianist in the country.

He is a legendary figure...

among many jazz musicians.

He is the best pianist ever.

He's a genius pianist, Cho Yoon Seung.

Now let's begin today's Sketchbook.

We will take a trip to the world of piano...

with the great pianists.

He's the first guest for today's episode.

He becomes charismatic in front of the piano.

He's Musical Fairy, Jung Jae Hyung. Please give him a big hand.

Louder!

This is The Piano Special.

He's the best pianist in the country.

The real pianist. Jung Jae Hyung is here. Hello.

Please say hello to the viewers.

Hello, I'm Jung Jae Hyung. It's nice to meet you.

I was watching his performance down there.

He looked so impressive.

Our viewers and even the audience home must have been shocked.

They wouldn't have known that he was such a great pianist.

They've mostly seen you on TV...

as a funny entertainer. - Right.

I didn't think I'd get nervous here.

But on the stage, I realized the audience was sitting so close.

It's really close.

I can even see her freckles.

It is just so close. - Right.

It made me nervous.

Thank you for your amazing performance anyway.

By the way, it's been three years since your last appearance.

You're right.

You've been so negligent, don't you think?

You only care about "Immortal Songs".

Anyway, it's been a while. How do you feel?

I know it's been a while.

I was very excited to come here.

But the audience looked somewhat nervous.

Maybe that's because it's The Piano Special.

It's a unique special. - So I made some jokes...

to release the tension.

It's okay for you to relax a little bit.

And it's okay for me to feel nervous.

Did you like my performance? - Yes.

It was a very special stage.

You performed brilliantly. Please tell us about the songs.

The song is called "Glimpse". - "Glimpse"?

It is from my first album, released in 1999.

It is the first track of the album.

The second one I played was "Running".

You know...

You sang it in "Infinite Challenge".

Right. I did. - The song was very popular.

People criticized me harshly after I became the host of "Immortal Songs".

The two programs are aired at the same time.

"Infinite Challenge" made him famous but he went to "Immortal Songs".

Jae Seok, I'm sorry.

Tae Ho, I'm sorry.

Right. - Both songs were amazing,

especially because he has his own way of playing the piano.

There's a certain energy he emits. You've all seen it, right?

So I thought there was a spring in his chair.

From backstage, it was as if he were making noodles.

He just couldn't sit still.

That kind of energy is something only Jae Hyung has.

His song "Glimpse" which he performed first...

was once talked about by many people.

He played it as if it were the end of the world,

and we have a video of the show. - Really?

The charismatic Jung Jae Hyung.

We have that video ready.

Here it is!

Look at his glasses.

Hold on.

Isn't he incredible? - Hang on.

There was never a close shot of me playing this.

Did you see him throwing the glasses as it slid off?

It was awesome.

You guys are so mean.

How could you edit my performance like this?

I once saw this at night while on mute.

While on mute.

I watched it at night and...

To me, he looked possessed.

Let's watch it again on mute.

I want to share with you what I felt that night.

I'm not joking when I say this to you.

It's like watching "The Wailing".

Let's see it again. - You're so mean!

Play it again on mute.

See?

Look how scary this is.

I made an eye contact with myself just now.

It's so scary. - I find it incredible.

It's something that only Jae Hyung can do.

Let's give him another round of applause.

All right.

The staff here are really evil. - No, they're not.

Variety shows always try to make their guests shine.

That's why we invited you, and you're shining brightly.

So today is The Piano Special.

Did you know that Jae Hyung is also known for his cooking?

Have you seen me cook? - Yes.

I try to have fun with it.

Before my show, most cooking shows only...

introduced recipes. - He's gifted in French cuisines.

The show was about me cooking French food,

and I had a blast myself.

He'd play the piano while he was cooking.

The format was new, and there's no one in the world...

that can combine cooking and music together.

He's the only one.

Since we have you today,

can we recreate that show?

He can express the emotions he has while cooking.

Let's move over to the piano and have you cook something.

I bet that you'll all be surprised.

He expresses whatever he's feeling.

I can throw him any word,

and he'll express the taste of the dish...

and the ingredients on his piano. There's no one that can do this,

and he's the best. - It's been so long...

that I'm not too confident. - Well, I am.

This is The Piano Special, and you're cooking a new dish.

Please get inspired first. There you go.

All right.

It's the webfoot octopus.

The webfoot octopus.

See? It's slowly coming to him.

He's almost ready. He sees the webfoot octopus.

Webfoot octopus, webfoot octopus, bounce, bounce.

Webfoot octopus, webfoot octopus.

I was picturing the webfoot octopus crawling by these notes.

Then I played it being tossed in a seafood stew.

So that's what it was. - In you go!

That was great.

Since you mentioned a seafood stew,

let's say that the webfoot octopus is already in it.

Play for me a seafood stew that's boiling.

All right. A seafood stew? - Yes, a seafood stew.

Aren't you adding any other ingredients?

Should we add something else? How about a sea squirt?

It's in season right now.

Gosh.

What's wrong? I'm sure this is easy for you.

A sea squirt? - Why don't you start with chord E?

E? - Yes, E.

All right. Sea squirt, sea squirt.

Sea squirt, squirt.

It's so hot that it burst open.

The stew was too hot. - That's right.

Can I add some crabs?

Let's add them. They're in season too.

How amazing is this? Yes, exactly.

Play the piano and I'll dance. - Okay.

I'll move like a crab to your music.

Here we go.

A sea squirt.

I'm so embarrassed right now.

How can you call this The Piano Special?

Please give it up for Jae Hyung.

The Piano Special.

We're here with the greatest pianist, Jung Jae Hyung.

Jae Hyung has worked with quite a lot of artists.

Do you remember some of them?

I have it right here. Byun Jin Sub, Kim Won Jun,

Lee So Ra, Lee Moon Sae, Uhm Jung Hwa, IU,

and last but not least, Jung Hyung Don.

The song you wrote for him is a masterpiece.

It was amazing. Now tell me.

Out of the artists who you've never worked with before,
