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.

I'm glad so many people came to watch our program today.

In fact, Sketchbook doesn't reveal the information about guest singers.

So you came here without knowing who'd be today's guest singers.

There may be some singers you want to see in our program.

Sometimes I see some of you...

try to guess today's guest singers when I introduce them.

I'd like to say you are very lucky to be here today.

We invited amazing singers who have the power to shake...

the entire nation with their voices for today's episode.

Let me introduce our first guest singer.

He looks like a cartoon character from a boy-meets-girl story.

He also has an image of a playful boy...

like a loose cannon.

Meanwhile, he is beloved by a lot of people in variety shows.

He has a heartwarming voice with a deep resonance.

You have no idea.

I know who he is.

He is Jung Joon Young.

It was "One Late Night in 1994".

Thank you.

As I have just explained,

we have a guest singer beloved by a lot of people with his voice.

He is Jung Joon Young. It's nice to meet you.

Hello, I'm Jung Joon Young.

You have a great voice, but it's quite deep.

Really? - Yes.

Is it? - It is.

He took some time off...

and recently rejoined "One Night Two Days" again.

What did you do during that time?

I worked on my music and my album.

Also... - I heard you went to Paris...

and drew a lot in an attempt to meditate.

I drew a lot of triangles.

Triangles? Do you mean a cone?

The object that's a pyramid with a circular cross section?

Yes. Anyway, it was my first time learning how to draw,

and my teacher told me that... - Yes?

I had it.

I had the touch of an artist.

Even though I was a beginner, it was like I was born to do this.

The teacher must have known that you were an oddball.

The teacher was Korean, but she didn't know who I was.

She...

She didn't know you?

No, she didn't. - I see.

So I didn't have to be self-conscious.

So she said you're artistic. - That's right.

You should know that I was staying nearby the Picasso Museum.

What does that have to do with anything?

Anyway, you were praised. - Right.

It must have been nice to hear that.

Joon Young speaks five languages.

He speaks Korean, English,

Mandarin, Japanese, and Tagalog.

I've added French to that list.

That's six in total. Isn't French quite difficult though?

Let me put you to the test then.

What word do you have to know to be comfortable in France?

Which word did you first learn?

I guess this is most important.

What's that? - It means, "You're so beautiful."

What?

What on earth did you really do in Paris?

I worked on my songs.

What kind of songs exactly?

I wrote one that's truly spectacular.

Once you hear it,

you won't ever forget the lyrics.

It must be that addictive. - Yes.

You can say that it's like...

a magnet. - What's it called?

It's called "Echo".

"Echo"? Let's go ahead and hear it right now.

Do you need your guitar? - Yes.

You said that the lyrics will be embedded in our heads.

Yes. - Right.

Here it is.

I miss you.

Thank you.

Now let's sing it together.

I'm sorry.

It's good to have Joon Young back from his hiatus.

He has also finally released his first studio album.

We should congratulate him on that.

Thanks. - Please tell us about it.

I released a new album...

by the name of "The First Person".

It's a studio album. - I see.

I wanted to tell an honest story of my life...

through songs. So I wrote lyrics based on my story.

Things that happened and how you felt.

Anyway, I checked the list of songs.

First, the album itself is called "The First Person".

There's "Princess", "Me and You", and "Psycho".

What are these about? Is it about one person?

They're all about a breakup. - I see.

Are the songs connected in any way?

There's a story.

These songs tell a story like a movie.

So all the songs tell one whole story.

Nowadays, most albums consist of random songs,

but in the past, one lyricist would tell one connective story.

It must be like that.

Yes, that's what I meant,

but I just couldn't put it right.

All right. I get what you mean about the story.

But do the songs flow from one to the other one?

Rather than telling you, I'll show you in person.

How the entire story goes?

Yes, by adding comments in between.

All right. I still don't get how this is possible though.

We're in love.

Now my love for her has grown.

My love for her is too great, and now I'm a psycho.

Be my star.

She must have died.

She must be dead.

Thank you.

So which one is your lead single?

It's "Me and You". - "Me and You"?

You didn't sing it alone,

but with another veteran singer.

That's right.

Could you give us some hints as to who she is?

According to my knowledge, she's 20 years senior to me.

So that female artist is here right now.

Right. - She's actually here.

His duet partner.

To see if she really is the one,

could you call out for her?

Come on out. - That's not loud enough.

You should sound more desperate.

Come on out!

Is this a joke?

I think we chose the wrong song.

When Joon Young called for me,

I thought I'd make a dramatic entrance.

Like one on TV. - Yes.

I thought a more appropriate song would be played as I entered,

but this was odd.

None of our guests have said...

"Is this a joke?" You know when they entered.

There's a reason why we chose this song though.

It's because you're the mother of ballads.

Please welcome Jang Hye Jin!

Hello. Hello, everyone.

I'm actually known as the original fairy.

Hi, I'm Jang Hye Jin.

You're really not.

I'm only kidding. Anyway, Joon Young...

sang one of your songs as his first song.

I was surprised to hear it too.

It was "One Late Night in 1994".

Many other artists have done covers of this song.

You are right. - Kim Yeon Woo, Kim Bum Soo,

Kim Yoon A, Kang Min Kyung, and Han Dong Geun.

What was it like to hear Joon Young's?

I have to say...

that he truly made it his own.

Every time she sings this song herself,

she always ends up in tears.

Is there a story behind this song?

It's not something that's special or anything.

When I first released this song,

my daughter was at the brink of death.

It was shortly after she survived it miraculously.

I found the lyrics of the song to be so sad.

When I was singing it,

I was on the verge of tears.

That's what happened when I sang it for practice.

It became the final recording. - Yes. People were applauding.

That's what happened. - It was a single-take recording.

It was done in a single take, but you just sang it as a practice.

Kim Hyun Chul actually wrote the lyrics that day.

He wrote it in the recording room and handed it to me.

That also got me all emotional.

He came up with it on the spot.

Yes. I thought, "Why does he have to make it so difficult for me?"

He made you all anxious. - Yes.

I guess that's what it takes.

Oh, gosh. When those special moments come together,

a miraculous moment can be created.

Back in the old days, that was the fun part.

These days, recording equipment and technology are so advanced...

that re-recording isn't even a big deal at all.

Exactly. - Things are done so meticulously.

All right.

About the two of you...

I'm sure the fact that the two of you collaborated on a song...

surprised many people because it was very unexpected.

The two of you have already worked together,

so I'm wondering if you want to work with any other artists.

Joon Young, does anyone specific come to mind?

Please list three artists.

Shin Ji of Koyote.

Park Ki Young is another one.
