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.

There are various kinds of teams in the Korean music scene.

Some of them feel like...

they can't show off their talents as a member of a group,

and they don't want to hide it anymore.

So they decide to start their career as a solo artist.

And they have something in common.

Firstly, they have a strong presence in their team.

Strong presence.

And they usually have great singing skills.

They can't become a solo artist unless they are good at singing.

So for today's episode, we've invited solo artists...

who've decided to stand alone with their name...

and released a solo album.

It's called Shine Alone Special.

You know what? The keyboardist just played it.

He plays different songs every week.

It's very lame, but he's good.

Let me introduce our first guest singer.

She's like a girl who lives in my neighborhood.

But she becomes a perfect diva on the stage.

When I see her on TV, she makes me happy.

She's got this mysterious magnetism about her.

When we talk about girl groups' singing, we always say her name.

Shine Alone Special.

She's Jeong Eun Ji of Apink.

Thank you.

Her voice has the scent of spring.

She's Jeong Eun Ji. Hello.

Hello, I'm Jeong Eun Ji of Apink.

You look like spring today. You look so nice.

Thank you. I guess my makeup turned out really nicely today.

Your face took it perfectly. - Right.

Your skin looks so good. - I know.

Eun Ji, you've got the energy...

that makes people happy.

It was April last year. - Right.

She released a solo album, "Hopefully Sky" and it became a hit.

Yes, it's been exactly one year.

One year? - Yes.

She released her second album...

after one year. - Thank you.

Please tell us about your new album.

The title of my new album is "Space".

And the song title is "The Spring".

I sang a folk song last year, and people loved it.

That's why I could release my second album.

So I wanted to sing a heartwarming song like that.

The accordionist just played the song so well.

With the sound of the accordion, the song sounds warmer.

There are a lot of songs about spring.

Right. - What's your favorite song?

My favorite song is...

In fact, I'd like to sing my favorite songs about spring.

There are a few. - I see. That's a good idea.

Then let's choose your top three spring songs.

Can you do that? - Yes.

Will you start singing without telling what it is?

Yes, I'll just sing it without telling you the title.

Just listen to the song. - Okay. This is the first song.

That's nice.

All right. - Thank you.

This song is quite famous.

Really? That's a relief.

It's Lee Moon Sae's song. - Right.

It's "Spring Breeze". Do you know this song?

Yes. - It smells like spring.

Then what's the 2nd song? - I'll sing the 2nd one.

Well...

This song doesn't have anything to do with spring.

Isn't it "200%" by AKMU? - Yes, it is.

This is just my favorite song. - I see.

Right. - Okay. Sing the third one.

Thank you.

Is it a song about spring?

It's about spring, but I became to like this song this spring.

So... - What's the title?

It's "End of the Sea" by Choi Baek Ho.

"End of the Sea"? - Right.

It said nothing about spring.

But it's the spring songs that I like.

How did you all find it?

If it's going to be this way...

It's one of my three favorite songs.

It could also be a song for the winter too.

That's right.

Fine.

Anyway, it's time to hear another song from you.

Can you tell us what it is?

This next song I'll be bringing you...

will be sung with someone very special.

Together with Kwak Jin Eon,

I'll bring you "First Breakup".

I love Jin Eon's voice. - I do too.

It's amazing. - Doesn't he have an amazing voice?

So let's invite him onto the stage.

Please welcome Kwak Jin Eon. Can you say hello?

Hello, everyone. I'm Kwak Jin Eon.

I heard that...

this is the first time you worked together on a project.

Don't they seem like one of...

the sweetest duos ever?

What was it like to work with one another?

How was it for you?

He's very shy. - I am.

Every time he'd say something, he'd mumble the words...

with this hand neatly in front like this.

It was like I was a teacher scolding him.

She is the senior artist here.

Is she the senior artist? - Yes, of course.

What's the age difference?

Four years. No, less than that.

Two years. - That's right.

Who's the senior?

I am. - She debuted first,

but I'm older than her.

He's older than you. - Yes.

Jin Eon's older than he seems.

He debuted a bit late. - That's right.

So have you been a fan of Apink's?

Yes, of course.

Really? Which song do you like the most?

"Mr. Chu".

"Mr. Chu"? - It doesn't suit him.

It's awkward to hear him say it. - Have you sung it before?

Haven't you all at least hummed to the song?

I see.

I can't imagine him singing "Mr. Chu" or any other...

songs by Apink.

As you all know, he has a deeper range.

This is how I picture him singing it.

Could you possibly sing it for us?

Yes, if I had the lyrics. - The lyrics?

Would it be possible to give him the lyrics?

There you go on the screen.

All right. Then let's hear Jin Eon...

do a cover of Apink's song.

Give him a round of applause.

That's all I know

The lyrics I can't remember - I thought it was part of the song.

Thank you so much. - It was amazing.

Hold on.

Didn't he sound like a cat?

A kiss on the lips

Recently, Jin Eon made his first appearance...

on a variety show.

You were on "One Night Two Days".

Really? - Yes.

He came up with a theme song for the show.

He made it there on the show.

Now since you're here,

could I ask you to make a theme song for us too?

One for Sketchbook? - Yes.

The staff told me about this earlier on.

Since I had a lot of time backstage,

I came up with a theme song for you.

Really? - Theme song for Sketchbook.

Here it is.

Midnight when Saturday turns into Sunday

That's when the show starts

Old or young, man or woman, everyone sit by the TV

And watch Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook

They watch Yu Hui Yeol's Sketchbook

Thank you.

That's amazing.

It's incredible.

I love it.

I'm very happy, but wouldn't it also work...

for any other show including "Happy Together"...

and "One Night Two Days"?

I think it can. - They watch "One Night Two Days"

Exactly.

They watch "Happy Together"

It works for all of them. - I'm sorry.

If I catch you singing this for any other show,

I'll report you myself.

Sure. I'll let you whip my behind.

Your what? - My behind.

Your behind? - Right.

I'm sorry. Forget that I said that.

I said that before my brain was able to process it.

I'm sorry. - I bet that...

I'll think about this and laugh later tonight.

Let's say we were talking,

and I upset you in any way.

I could volunteer to have my behind whipped.

Actually, can I say that from now on?

Yes, of course. Go ahead.

You should try it too...

and see how the other person reacts.

"That's a weird haircut."

"I'll let you whip my behind."

Slap, slap.

I'm sorry. - Anyway, I hear you.

So now it's finally time to hear your duet.

"First Breakup".

With this song, we'll say goodbye to you both.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you so much.
