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

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Welcome to Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook, everyone.

I'm Yu Hui Yeol.

All right.

Did you notice them on your way here today?

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the streets of Yeouido.

Cherry blossom festivals are taking place, too.

Well, I'm sure you've seen tons of couples and families...

taking photos underneath cherry blossom trees.

While all of that was going on,

we received a very sad story...

which I'd like to read to you.

"Hello, I'm a 35-year-old single woman."

"I don't really need two seats."

"But I'm required to apply for two seats,"

"so I think that my purse will be occupying the second seat."

"I'm sure all couples will go and see the flowers..."

"on their way to Yeouido."

"But I won't let couples and their selfie sticks discourage me."

"I'll confidently walk through the flowers alone."

"And as if it's not a big deal, I'll be staring at my phone."

"Why isn't he here yet?"

"With that kind of expression on my face,"

"I'll be waiting for all the lights to go off in the auditorium."

"There's no reason I can't do it alone."

"I know that I can do it."

It's so sad that it almost made me tear up.

Thank you for sending this story to us.

Let's meet her now. I'm curious if someone will be sitting next to her,

or if it'll really be empty and occupied by her purse.

Her name is Lim Ji Seon.

Where are you, Ji Seon?

Where are you sitting?

I see.

Okay.

Judging from what you're wearing,

you look like an owner of a clothing store in Hongdae.

But the seat next to you is really empty.

Okay. You must've been feeling lonely so far,

but we'll make your loneliness go away.

I'm totally confident that we can. I say this because...

all of Korea's bands...

known for their members' looks will be on today's show.

That's right.

We'll do our best to make your heart, ears and eyes happy.

All right.

Let me introduce the first guests to you.

Just like Yeouido's cherry blossoms that are in full bloom,

their looks seem to be at the peak now.

They came back just in time for spring.

Please give it up for CNBLUE.

Make some noise, everybody!

Make some noise!

Make some noise!

Clap your hands.

Make some noise!

- Everybody! - Make some noise!

One more time!

Sketchbook, we love you. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I'm baffled.

I had no idea CNBLUE knew how to have this much fun on stage.

They truly remind me of beautiful cherry blossoms.

CNBLUE is here. Welcome to the show!

- Hello, we're CNBLUE. - Hello, we're CNBLUE.

That performance really surprised me.

Thank you.

How could all members be like that?

By any chance, did you guys drink beforehand?

- Gosh, no. - No, we didn't.

- What happened? - We wanted show everyone.

- I see. - Many of this show's...

audience members probably haven't seen us perform before,

so we wanted to do our best to make our performance impactful.

Well, Yong Hwa. You were climbing up on things and walking all over here.

I saw you almost falling a few times.

A high level of concentration is required.

- Is that right? - It depends...

on which chair it is, but that round one is...

- That one swivels. - Yes, it does.

So I have to really concentrate when I go up on it.

You use gravity to secure it like this.

- Yes, that's right. - He uses his toes.

In case of the piano, I have to be careful not to touch the keys.

- That's right. - So I use the tip of my toes...

to stand on elsewhere.

I thought Park Jin Young was the only one who can...

use his feet like that. That's amazing.

Well, tell us how you've been doing.

We finished our Asia Tour about 2 or 3 weeks ago...

and just released a new album, "Blueming".

You guys are so cool.

You travel all over Asia doing your tours. It's really cool.

From Asian to South America, I know that you've visited many countries.

From which country do you get the most enthusiastic response?

We've gotten good response everywhere,

but I think fans in Mexico were most memorable.

- I'd say South America. - Mexico and Chile.

- They're passionate. - Yes.

- I personally didn't see it, - Okay.

but I heard that some fans in the front...

- South Americans are passionate. - Right.

Sometimes, they throw underwear.

- Onto the stage? - Yes, that's right.

- I see. - I personally never saw it.

It's...

It can get very awkward.

Sometimes, it gets caught...

on guitar nuts.

Then I have to...

shake it off the guitar,

so I keep doing this.

- It doesn't come off easily. - There's another funny story.

- I'm sure it makes me look strange. - These days,

- many people record videos. - That's right.

So we can't pick it up with our hands.

- It'd look so strange. - Yes. If that's caught on camera...

I was so shocked the first time it happened.

"Should I pick it up or no?"

- With your hand. - Shall I touch it or no?

I was so torn.

- What do you think I did? - Tell me.

- What did you do? - Well...

- Pardon me? - What did you do?

- I removed it with my hand. - I see, like this.

I had no choice. I had to do this.

Why did you take it home though?

- Touching it is understandable, - Pardon me?

but you should quit that kind of habit.

We couldn't really return it to its owner.

We couldn't figure out where it came from.

- I see. - Yes.

I must say CNBLUE is really amazing.

From what I've heard,

they travel all over the world...

and communicate with the audience without an interpreter.

What do you do when you're in South America, for example?

Jung Shin was the first one who went to South America.

Not many people are familiar with their language.

- That's right. It'd be Spanish. - There was only one word...

- Jung Shin knew. - What was it?

He was so excited during the performance...

and said, "Espanol!"

- In Korean, it'd be... - Oh, I'm embarrassed.

- "Korean!" - Korean!

- That's what he did. - Yes, you're right!

- Right? So... - You're right.

Imagine that an artist from South America is here...

in Korea and says, "Korean!"

- It's the same thing. - Exactly.

He said "Espanol" about 10 times.

Do it now just like how you did it at that time.

- You're in a great mood. - You're so excited right now.

Espanol! I said it like this.

- I thought it was cute. - I see.

I don't know why I did it.

Please do the Korean version and shout "Korean".

Say "Korean".

Korean!

It was a lot of fun.

So you guys are busy with doing tours overseas.

Some of you are working on dramas...

as well as collaboration projects.

All of you are so busy. Various independent projects...

are keeping CNBLUE members busy,

but Jong Hyun is an odd one.

I heard that you were on a show about fishing.

That's right. That was my first TV appearance since we came back.

That's very unusual. Can you tell us why?

Our new album was released on April 4th,

but I was on that show at 11 o'clock on April 3rd.

Do you like fishing?

Well...

We live in a competitive, tough world.

- That's right. - You have to compete with others.

But in fishing, rushing doesn't mean that you'll catch the fish.

When I do catch the fish,

I almost feel as if...

I've caught the whole ocean.

I'm serious. Imagine catching fish that is 1m long.

As you know, humans used to be hunters.

- I mean... - Right, humans used to be hunters.

It makes me feel as if my natural instincts are being revived.

Right, your primitive instincts.

- Yes. That's how it makes me feel. - I see.

- What about you, Yong Hwa? - Well, my hobby is...

What's your hobby?

Except for going snowboarding in winter,

I don't have any other hobbies.

Except for snowboarding, music takes up the entirety of your life.

I'm a workaholic.

Hey, don't do that.

- Please take my joke. - Okay, but it's embarrassing.

- I haven't seen you in ages. - I'm so embarrassed.

- Please, just this once. - Isn't the neckline too low?

I can almost see your belly button.

I'm sitting right next to you, so I can see it.

Hui Yeol, you have to know.

He tried to restrain himself for this show today.

- Yes, he's right. - It usually comes down here.
