The Seasons - AKMU's One Day, Five Night (더 시즌즈-악뮤의 오날오밤)

Make some noise, "Long Day, Long Night!"

Welcome to "The Seasons: Long Day, Long Night with AKMU."

I'm the Long Day, Lee Su Hyun.

And I'm the Long Night, Lee Chan Hyuk.

It's nice to meet you.

We're about to introduce the first guest.

But I don't think we can welcome them while sitting.

How about standing for a while?

Good.

It's the first time...

in the show's history that the audience is asked to stand up...

for the opening guest.

Let me introduce them.

- You should... - Fly, get'em up high

In 3, 4.

- Epik High! - Epik High!

Yes!

Make some noise, everyone!

"Long Day, Long Night!"

- Say, "Oh, yes." - Oh, yes.

- Say, "Ah, yes." - Ah, yes.

- Say, "Oh, yes." - Oh, yes.

Let me hear your scream!

Let's jump!

Let's jump!

Tukutz!

Yes!

Say, "Ah-ha!"

Make some noise!

Here is Epik High!

Please say hello to everyone!

Always high!

- We're Epik High! - Epik High!

Well, I've never...

seen you doing this before.

- I know. - We've never done it before.

Hong Joong of ATEEZ made one for us...

because we were really bad at greeting.

How did you do it before?

We usually go... In 1, 2, 3.

- Hello, we're Epik High. - Hello, we're Epik High.

- This is what I'm used to. - Right.

- It was such a mess. - Can I see it once again?

- The new way? - Yes, the new way.

- Always high! We're Epik High! - Epik High!

We're not so in sync yet.

- We're still practicing it. - That's about it.

- I think you need more practice. - Right.

I heard that you've been really busy with your tour.

Yes, we toured every corner of the world,

visiting various countries.

Our fans asked us to perform in Korea.

And the first thing we wanted to do after we came back was...

- "Long Day, Long Night?" - "Long Day, Long Night."

Please give him a round of applause.

Thank you.

When we initially joined YG Entertainment,

you were the first senior colleagues we encountered...

and someone we couldn't even look straight at.

- Right. - Back then...

- They still are. - Right.

And Tablo said,

there was something you felt regretful about back then.

Actually, I was offered...

Okay.

to produce AKMU's first album.

- Right. - Yes, right.

And I listened to the music of you two, and I found it perfect.

I thought I shouldn't do anything to their music.

So I told the company...

that the best way for them was just to let them be.

You gave us only one comment, actually.

Do you remember what you said back then?

What did I say?

- It was "200 Percent." - Okay.

It must be L.O.V.E

- 200 percent, for sure - For sure

- Did I... - You said we use too much English.

Did I say you should change it to Korean?

Yes, you said there were too many English words.

See?

It was best for AKMU that I kept my distance away from them.

That's right.

But if I had participated in the production,

it would have been warmer.

- You mean in winter? - Yes. But it's still heartwarming for me.

It was ten years ago.

- Has it already been ten years? - Yes.

- It's been ten years. - Unbelievable.

What do you think of what we've been doing?

I believe we need to distinguish between what AKMU has been doing...

- from what Chan Hyuk has been doing. - Very different.

That's right.

- I should talk about it separately. - That's right.

- Can you tell us about AKMU first? - They're totally different.

As for AKMU,

we can just watch them from afar.

And as for Chan Hyuk,

we want to keep our eyes on it.

- That makes me think about myself. - That is a great comment.

I think Chan Hyuk has become a master now.

- A master? - Yes.

He's been doing what a master usually does.

I look forward to seeing the future.

It's so embarrassing to listen to such comments...

- from someone I admire so much. - Okay.

This year is the 20th anniversary of your debut, right?

Let's celebrate them with applause.

You met each other in your teens or twenties.

And you all got married and have children now.

How old are your kids?

- Ha Ru is 13 now. - Already?

- Ha Ru is... - Yes.

- Is that Ha Ru? - What's that photo?

- Is that Ha Ru in the photo? - I looked back to see Ha Ru and...

The one on the left must be Ha Ru.

Ha Ru is all grown up!

- She looks just like her dad. - Where did you get that picture?

- Here's Yi Deun. - Yi Deun.

- Gosh. He's so cute! How old is he? - Yi Deun is...

- now... - It's Ha Ru.

This is a few years ago.

I think it's 3 or 4 years ago.

Don't you have a recent photo of her?

We don't upload her recent photos.

I see.

- To respect Ha Ru's privacy. - I see.

- Her privacy must be protected. - Of course.

That's right.

- It's Tae Yeon. - No.

- It's my eldest son. - It's Yoon Hoo.

- It's Yoon Hoo. - Why is he crying?

The photo was taken when I went to rehearsal at the broadcasting studio.

He missed his mom.

You've released so many masterpieces over the past 20 years.

I hear you have a hidden song extra dear to your heart.

If I can only play or listen to one song,

- it would be "Trot." - "Trot!"

- "Trot." - We have a song called "Trot."

It's special to me...

because it's the only song for which I've also written the lyrics.

- You wrote the lyrics and the melody. - You get more royalty from it!

- Yes. - Because you get a higher royalty!

- I see. - He owns about 90 percent of the share.

The song was inspired by Tukutz's father.

- Yes. - I see.

When I met him for the first time, the first thing he said was,

"Hey, try mixing trot and hip-hop together."

And that's exactly what you've done!

- It was our first time meeting. - Yes.

That's just his style.

So, I suggested that we try it.

And it must be in his blood because he wrote the song right away.

The melody and the lyrics both came to me within five minutes.

That's a real masterpiece.

- That's right. - Mithra and I wrote the rap parts...

and recorded the song on the spot.

I'm really intrigued now.

Could we hear a bit of it?

- Of course. - Yes.

We'll imagine we're at a staff dinner.

- Sure. - We'll sit here.

- We can sing any song for you. - We have special props for you.

Yes, sparkly props specially prepared for you.

We'll wear them if that's what you want.

- Should we start? - Yes!

It's been a minute...

since I last sang the song with these guys.

- Here we go. - To the viewers...

of "Long Day, Long Night with AKMU,"

we dedicate this song.

Let's go.

"Long Day, Long Night!"

It's so sad.

I don't know if it's just me,

but I think we will have great teamwork...

and have the same vibes.

- I agree. - Don't you think so?

Ever since when you were with YG Entertainment,

I've expressed my fondness for your group.

But you've never sung with me.

We couldn't.

But you've worked only with Su Hyun.

Yes, we have.

Let's not push it to another time since we're here...

and sing a song together today.

- Us? - Yes.

How about "HOME IS FAR AWAY?"

- "HOME IS FAR AWAY" sounds good. - I'd like that.

- "HOME IS FAR AWAY" by Epik High. - "HOME IS FAR AWAY."

- Doesn't Oh Hyuk sing in it? - Yes, he does.

- Yes. - I love this song.

- Are you sure about this? - Yes.

Su Hyun!

I'm genuinely worried for him.

Instead of Epik High with Oh Hyuk,

Epik High and Chan Hyuk will sing "HOME IS FAR AWAY."

I have to work on a song with him.

What did you think about that?

I couldn't really hear it.
