Life Bar (Tipsy Talk / 인생술집)

So, today...

Reggae and hip hop...

Oh, I'm not familiar with those.

Reggae and hip hop... - Haha and Skull

Skull's rap is so unique.

Skull has some...

die-hard fans that really love his voice.

His voice is as coarse as sandpapers.

And then, for iKON...

Their song, "Love Scenario", is one of their many great songs.

It really captured the hearts...

of both children and adults.

People of all ages know the song. - They all make a fuss of it.

Even my son...

sang the song almost a hundred times everyday...

changing the lyrics to "I just farted".

Oh, really? - Yes.

My gosh.

You can tell that they do reggae, even from a distance.

Push it open. - Open it.

Hello. - Yes, welcome.

Welcome! - Hi.

Hi.

Jun Hoe and B.I...

Well, reggae beat you two for now...

judging from appearance.

Compared to hip hop... - Reggae, you guys are bold.

They look too strong.

Skull, your hair was always in dreads...

since forever.

Yes, always, except for when I went to the army.

Really? - Isn't it uncomfortable?

Once you pass a certain point...

Even Haha said the first week was the most difficult for him,

but now, 1 or 2 months have passed since he did his hair...

It probably gets comfortable. - Yes. From a certain point...

But isn't it almost impossible to wash your hair?

Well, it was... - Do it in a hair shop?

It was like that 15 years ago. - Maybe you didn't know about it.

But now, you can just wash it...

with special shampoo and hair products.

So does it not stink?

Can I smell your hair? - You try it.

Wait. - I didn't wash it today.

Smell the center of his head.

It seems like the hair smells. - I smell some kind of fragrance.

I put some fragrance. - Are you sure?

Oh, he put on fragrance, but... - Right? This smell is mixed with...

his hair still smells. So it's like the smell of a bathroom...

with air freshener sprayed all over.

He poured it on his hair.

Your hair stinks very strongly.

No, it's not always like this...

This hair is 10 years old. - No, it's not that...

that's not it.

No, it's not like that. - He's panicking.

It stinks because I performed in Pohang yesterday...

and came to record this show right away.

So, - It must've been so hot in Pohang.

I just didn't have the time to wash my hair.

And I heard that Skull and Haha...

has a new name for the team? - Yes.

That's right. - What is it?

It's "RPR", "Raggae on the Peaceful River".

I got it.

How did that happen?

Did you come up with the name? - No, it wasn't us.

Skull looks embarrassed now. - Isn't it too holy?

The name is very holy.

We held a naming contest and asked our fans to name us.

And out of all the names that were given to us...

It was a little bit sad that nobody knows us after seven years.

Yes. - So, since a few years ago...

we wanted to change our name...

but couldn't come up with anything better than Skull and Haha.

But this time, we were determined to change our name and start fresh.

So, we held the contest.

For the 1st-place winner, we promised 2,000 dollars...

Really? - for 2nd place, 1,000 dollars...

and for the third, we gave a ticket to our Korean BBQ place.

My gosh. Shamelessly plugged yourself even at your own contest.

No, we didn't intend to do so.

We just wanted to give a prize.

Then you should offer a ticket to Jeong Jun Ha's BBQ place.

But that's a skewer restaurant.

You know your preference. - So,

the fans sent us a lot of entries.

There were almost from 50,000 to 70,000 entries...

More than 50,000 were all via text.

But "RPR" placed third.

Was it? What about the second place?

The second place was "Yeongdeok Reggae".

A parody of "Yeongdeok Crabs". - "Yeongdeok Reggae".

Yes, so "Yeongdeok Reggae".

And there were entries like "Reggings".

"Reggings" sounds like a great name.

But out of these...

We decided to go with "RPR", "Raggae on the Peaceful River".

That's good. It's definitely a catchy name.

Yes, so we're a rookie reggae group now.

I hope that RPR also produces...

great hit songs...

and become like iKON... - I know.

with their song "Love Scenario".

I hope that you will have a song that everybody sings along.

You're my role model.

They're our role models.

Even my child sings along to "Love Scenario".

Yes, my son, too.

Already? - Look at that.

They all love it.

They all sing it together.

That's like a dream comes true.

That's so cute.

Even when they're stretching!

The fact that children are singing along...

is so great,

because they're never going to...

That's right. - forget this song, ever.

Like the old songs that we grew up singing.

It basically became the nation's song.

We didn't know. - And these kids...

don't even know what love is,

but they sing it because it's so addictive.

They definitely don't know what it means. Even my son...

Which part was it? About "drama"?

It was "a commendable melodrama" - What was it?

"a commendable melodrama" - Yes. "a commendable melodrama".

My son doesn't understand what a melodrama is,

so he sings gibberish for that part.

He sounds like he's singing in Mandarin.

He's just singing whatever he could hear.

So, the kids just sing the first part right,

then sings in complete gibberish.

Who made the song?

I did. - Really?

He composes songs and writes lyrics as well.

My gosh. You must've earned a lot of money.

Well, I did get paid...

How much?

Don't be hesitant. Just say it.

"I earned 7 point 8 million dollars."

7 point 8 million dollars? - No, I didn't earn that much.

I earned enough money to buy two imported cars.

My gosh. So, the cars...

Lamborghini. - that cost like 4 million dollars?

Ferrari that costs almost 4 million dollars?

That's way different from what he told us previously.

What did he say to you?

He just said...

that he didn't earn as much as he expected.

He must've expected a lot then.

I hear that the song was composed within two hours.

Yes. So, the three of us gathered...

recorded, and edited lyrics just with innocent intentions,

and I think that may be why kids love the song so much.

We really worked on it with childlike hearts.

Innocent hearts, I see. - Innocent hearts.

I met him on another variety show,

and he's very shameless.

Super shameless.

I hear Han Bin is also...

very shameless. - Yes, he is.

But "Love Scenario"...

was rejected? - was actually rejected at first.

Really? - That happens a lot.

Yes, so when it got rejected,

I saved the song...

to use it as my solo song in the future.

But one day, I saw the track list,

and "Love Scenario" was the title song.

Wow, that is exactly what happens on comedy shows too.

Do you remember the gag, "The Bald Man"?

Yes. - It was an absolute hit.

It was actually rejected at first too.

The producers thought it was ridiculous.

Really? - So the guys just pleaded...

to perform it once on recording.

Then it became the ultimate hit. - Do you know why?

Kids began imitating it, which is why it became popular.

That was amazing.

So, Jun Hoe,

when "Love Scenario" became such a huge hit,

did YG's treatment towards you change a bit?

For sure.

We ate with YG for the first time.

My gosh. For the first time.

With YG?
