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

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Sketchbook.

I'm Yu Hui Yeol.

All of you have a big smile on your faces like happy kids.

We're all happy because spring is finally here.

We thought hard about what kind of songs...

would be perfect for today's show.

Today's show will be dynamic. You know those music festivals, right?

Starting with musicians who are loved at those festivals, we also...

invited artists whose songs are currently topping music charts...

as well as some of musicians' favourite artists.

It'll be a buffet style.

I can guarantee that at least one of them will suit your taste.

You can choose to your liking.

All right. It'll be like a spring music concert.

Let me introduce the first guests.

They started out in the indie music scene,

but they're now one of the most wanted bands at music festivals.

They're a self-proclaimed idol group of indie bands.

This band has definitely gained a lot of popularity over the years.

Their music puts us in a good mood and makes us happy.

What's more? Their live performances rock.

Let's meet them now. Please give it up for Daybreak.

Let's have fun!

Please stand up!

Jump!

Please sing with us!

Let's sing together!

Great!

Thank you!

This song is perfect for spring because it brightens our mood.

I also think that bands like them are highlights of music festivals.

Daybreak is here with us. Welcome to the show!

- Nice to meet you! - We're Daybreak.

- First, the drummer, Hong Jun. - Yes.

Daybreak actually put out...

an open call to find a drummer three years ago.

- That's correct. - So you've joined the band?

Yes, I've joined them but I'm a guest member.

I see. So you're not an actual member of the team?

He has been an intern for the last three years.

Why haven't you decided to fully join the band?

Three years is quite a long time.

- There's no specific reason. - I see.

I'm just...

enjoying the current situation.

Let me explain it to you.

Until about the second year,

- we were above him. - I see.

We didn't really care about him becoming a proper member.

- He really wanted it though. - I see. Back then, he did.

But our situations have become reversed in a year or so.

We asked him, "You should become a proper member."

You've worked together for three years.

- We asked him, but... - What did he say?

he said he would have to think about it.

The power structure has shifted.

Exactly. It has been reversed.

I heard that Jun is usually the life of the party...

and that he has so many cool talents. What are your talents?

Please give us the rundown.

I can impersonate Zion.T.

- Really? - I can mimic his singing.

- Okay, Zion.T... - Let me borrow your sunglasses.

He's even using a prop.

- He would definitely need them. - He's being ambitious.

- All right, let's see. - I want to do it well.

He has to tilt his head like that first.

I was home alone

My father is a taxi driver

- That was great! - Thank you.

I would give him 70 out of 100.

- You're really good. - Thank you.

- He's very... - He's so handsome.

He's very prepossessing and his shorts are so cute too.

He's very impatient.

I like him.

So the first song you performed for us is "Good". This song is...

used as back ground music for many dramas and variety shows.

"Good" and another song of ours, "Love Actually",

have been used in many TV commercials.

So we actually made a song specifically for TV commercials.

You targeted TV commercials?

As we were making it, we insisted it should be in commercials.

- What's the song? - The title is...

The title will tell you what it's about.

The song is called "Hot Fresh".

- "Hot Fresh"? - Yes.

It's perfect for TV commercials.

- We'll sing it for you. - Sure.

Let's do it.

- It's so hot - Fresh

Just the two of us, let's go away

We'll let the warm breeze take us away

You're so hot

- Fresh - So I love it, love it, love it

We'll burn all of our passion

Let's have a great time

Well, don't you think it's too obvious?

I think it's way too obvious.

Daybreak, I'm disappointed in you.

When did you fall victims of capitalism? Goodness.

And Sun Il, please stand up.

- Okay. - When I saw him from afar earlier,

I thought he was a super rich man from Shanghai.

He looks like a very successful man.

- I like that. Thank you. - Gosh, you look dashing.

I guess it's because their music is synonymous to optimism and healing.

I heard that your song was used as background music...

in an e-book version of a self-help book.

- Could you tell me about it? - Yes.

Well, the book is called "Courage to Be Hated".

It was selected as the book of the year for last year.

- The publisher of the book... - Yes.

got in touch with us about the e-book.

They said that they were on the lookout for a soundtrack...

that would accompany the book well.

They asked themselves, "Who comes to mind when you think of optimism?"

- Noh Hong Chul. - Right.

Well, Noh Hong Chul isn't a musician.

- You're right. - Yes.

They were wondering...

which musician would be the best for making an optimistic song...

and ended up getting in touch with us.

I see. That's what happened.

There's another story about this song.

- The actor, Yoon Sang Hyun, - Yes.

- called me out of the blue one day. - I see.

- I had never met him. - You didn't know him at all.

He said that he was really loving our song, "Spotlight".

He was working on a drama back then.

He told me that he was listening to the song repeatedly while...

practising his lines for the drama to bring out the emotions.

He just called to thank us.

- I see. - So I was...

Why did you bring this up all of a sudden?

It was so random.

- I wanted to brag. - Was that the reason?

Then would you be able to sing the song, "Spotlight", for us?

- Shall we? - Yes. Let's give them a big hand.

He's such a great singer.

As he was singing the very first note,

I could feel the strength in his voice as well as his emotions.

Please sing the first line again. It made my heart throb.

You're an amazing singer, Won Suk.

- Thank you. - I want to hear that part again.

Sing it again for me, please.

The spotlight of the moment

- Gosh, he's so good. - Following the ray of light

That vibrato! That's it. That part is so cool.

Yes, that's the best part. You sure have a good ear.

And that part where you alternate...

between falsetto and your real voice.

Throwing myself into the unknown world of today

Yes! This part! "Throwing myself". I love that part.

It's driving me crazy.

Throwing myself

I was listening to him right here and almost fell in love.

You're the best.

Well, we're ready for your next performance now.

Please tell us about the song.

It's in the single album we recently released.

- The song is called "Mellow". - "Mellow".

If you pay attention to the lyrics,

you'll hear the word, "marshmallow".

In addition, you'll also hear the word, "melodrama".

In other words, the song is as sweet as marshmallow,

and it makes your heart flutter like a romantic melodrama.

That's how I would describe this newest song of ours.

Okay. All right, we'll watch Daybreak's last performance...

and say goodbye to them here.

- Thank you for joining us today! - Thank you for having us!

Thank you!

Daybreak's songs we listened to make us...

want to go somewhere and have a picnic.

The second guests are known for their music...

that makes us sentimental.

Please give it up for the indie band with rich sensibilities, MONNI.

Let's sing together!

All right, please sing with me!

Thank you!

I feel as if I'm at a music festival today.

This band is like the epitome of sensibility.

MONNI is here with us. Welcome to the show.

- Hello! We're MONNI. - Hello.

When it comes to rock bands,

we used to think of metal chains...

and jeans that are ripped on the knees like this.

That's the image we're used to, but look at you, Yin Gyoung.

Without your guitar, I must say that you look like...

- you're out on a date. - I know, right?

I personally really like this style of clothing.

I love this kind of style and... Why is everyone laughing?

I think that all stylists are laughing their heads off right now.

I really like...

I really like this style, and I always...

Are you talking to the audience directly right now?

She really likes that style.

Hey, friends.

You heard me, right?

I don't like clothes that are ornate.
