Infinite Challenge (무한도전)

It's the 2015 Infinity Challenge Music Festival emergency general meeting!

There are many conflicts present between

the I.C. members and the musicians who joined us.

Please write about the concerns that you have.

'EDM...'

[The first conflict. Myung Soo and IU.]

He wanted something upbeat, so I wrote an upbeat song...

More upbeat! It has to be more upbeat!

- What is this? - There he goes, there he goes.

[Myung Soo converts more of them to the EDM side.]

[Singing EDM as if they are possessed.]

- Go, go, go... - Hey, just go home.

The general opinion seems to be leaning toward EDM.

The result. Okay, one...

It's an unexpected result.

I thought IU would win by a landslide. I'm not insisting it has to be EDM.

I'll work with whatever you would like to do, IU.

I think we might need to create a cool performance

when it comes to important highlights.

[After the EDM conflict stormed through...]

Okay, the next one.

- Ah! - There are many.

- This is so, everyone... - Pardon?

'He calls me every day and tells me to write songs like a machine.'

- Who is this? - Who is it?

Who is it that keeps... huh?

'I wrote five new songs without even sleeping, but he...'

'rejected them all.'

Who, who rejects five songs?

'He asked me if I want to disappear...'

What did you write?

- He threatens me. - Ah...

'He yells at me every night.'

'My music career is in question.'

He hastily crossed this one out...

'When he smooches me, his breath smells.'

[Ohhyuk is so articulate when he writes!]

Hyukoh, band Hyukoh is much better when they write it down.

Hey, let's talk via texting from now on.

What does he say when he calls you every morning and evening?

What does he say to you?

When he first called me, he was very polite.

'How is the song-writing going? Take your time.'

- At first. - 'Don't work too hard.'

- And? - Because I got motivated by it

I wrote songs without even sleeping.

- What he said motivated you? - Yeah.

'You didn't sleep? You should get your sleep.'

After that day, 'Don't sleep.'

- And all five songs he... - Yeah...

- What did he say to you? - What did he say?

- If we knew, we'd change that... - I see.

I don't know what it is.

- He definitely sent me some songs. - Yes, and?

The kind of music they go for is British, or Irish.

- They are kind of northern hemisphere. - Yes, and?

And they aren't familiar to our ears.

- I'd like them to come to the Far East. - Ah, really?

For example, British and Irish music are about this and this, yeah?

That was it. That's how but the Far East is like.

[Indeed it's how the king of music festivals would explain.]

- How is it different from EDM? - It's so different.

- EDM is like, EDM is like... - One, two, three, four.

[The music of the Far East seems to be the definition of EDM.]

What they want, what they want is the same thing.

British and Irish are boring.

But it's the kind of music Hyukoh has been doing.

- The reason why Hyukoh is so popular is - Yes.

because they don't follow the pre-existing grammar.

With Hyukoh's unique brand of sensitivity...

The new generation goes, 'Oh, it's a new story' when they hear...

So, I mean I'll make them even more popular.

But to someone who has that kind of story

'Hey, you should be a great talker.'

'You should make them cry and laugh.'

It seems you might be asking someone shy to be out-going and extroverted.

That's why those guys are chewing up only the Hongdae and Itaewon areas.

I can help them chew up Nokbeon and the surrounding area, too.

This is their problem.

- They won't hand over good songs. - They have them?

He handed it over after I tightened it way up on him. It's a good song.

- They have one? - It's a good song.

GD was like that, too. You have to tighten them up.

GD. GD, you worked with Hyung Don before.

To me, it just seems like a cute way of complaining.

After a breakup, the guy met someone new

and he wants her to be like his ex-girlfriend.

You mean he's trying to make them into you, GD?

- It's cute. - Ah, seriously, he talks so well.

By the way, do you have something to say, Ohhyuk?

The song he's talking about...

- We saved it to release it later on. - Ah, really?

But it's a song that feels completely unlike Hyukoh.

I'd like to hear it if we have it.

We do? We have that song?

The first song is the one Hyukoh wants to play at the festival.

Play it, please.

I miss Doto.

Actually, it...

It kind of feels like the African savanna.

[Thanks to Hyukoh, a family reunion is made possible.]

That's good, that's good.

- It's a good one. - It's good.

But if Mr. Park Myung Soo worked on it a little bit at his factory...

- It's done with a new track. - How?

[After being remixed by Mr. Park, anything becomes danceable!]

There are many dance fans here, I'll tell you that now. Don't be swayed by it.

As a general rule, Mr. Yoo Hee Yeol is correct.

We really like dance a lot.

Next up is... the one Hyung Don likes.

Okay, play it, please.

['Great Wall.' The one Hyung Don likes.]

Country, country!

[The one that gets you feeling good immediately.]

[What makes them so extremely happy to dance?]

- Your body responds to it. - That's right.

- We've never had a country song before. - Your body responds to it.

This is it!

From back here, Jae Suk's hips look like cherries.

Turn around. Turn around.

They look like cherries.

Are you happy these days?

- Looks like a plum. - I mean...

The first one too... The first one has its own feel.

The first one has a feel.

The first one...

- Wait, I almost cried. - How come?

Ohhyuk tried to cut me off.

Because he wanted to say something!

Please tell us who Hyukoh is.

Did you chew up Hongdae area as soon as you started the band?

I mean, how popular are you guys? So frustrating!

Seriously, Ohhyuk, thank you so much!

- You cut off people from talking? - Seriously.

Seriously, I almost cried.

No, no, thank you.

Ohhyuk, hug him! Hug him, hug him!

What are you doing to my baby?

Don't offer your head to anyone. It's my head.

- He had something he wanted to say. - He even cut you off.

- The first one has a hook. - I see.

There's a crowd singing portion.

It does? Ah, that's good.

What are the opinions of the people here? Mr. Park Jin Young, how was it?

Seriously, the second song is shockingly good.

If I were the president of his agency, I'd said, 'Why did you play it for him?'

I also like the second...

- for sure... - Right, IU?

Right, IU, you like the second one, right? You get it now, right?

You get it, right? Yeah?

Finally, your eyes are starting to open up.

You get it now, right?

GD, how about you, GD?

Artists would have a vision for how their work should be, you know?

I think it might be too early to judge before the final version is done.

The second song is certainly...

because it's so different from what Hyukoh has done so far

- I think I like it. - That's it.

That's why it'll will be even harder for them to decide.

Whether to use the song for a festival or use it

as the next stepping stone song for their music career.

Ah, that would make it really difficult.

- How do you feel about it, Kwanghee? - It's so sad to hear that.

He just said it's for a festival.

What are we doing? I'm learning how to sing and putting everything on the line.

- You mean it means everything for you? - Yes!

The music festival means everything for you!

You mean don't just think of it as a festival.

I'm so disappointed. I'm putting everything on the line.

What you said is moving a lot of people's minds.

I'm just curious...

Does it have to be upbeat?

- For me... - He's liked a clogged pipe.

He is...

When it comes to dancing... a totally clogged...

Of course, something upbeat and dance music is good, but I...

A music festival is a place where diverse artists can perform.

And?
