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

Make some noise for "Long Day, Long Night with AKMU!"

Hi. 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. - It's nice to meet you.

I'm about to introduce our first guest,

and I'm incredibly nervous today...

because this is the 46th year since his debut.

He's a living legend of the Korean pop industry.

He has the looks that I admire the most.

Let's introduce him now.

- Jeon In Kwon! - Jeon In Kwon!

(I wrote these lyrics in memory of my mother's passing.)

(The melody is originally a religious hymn with a classical guitar sound.)

(Keyboard: Dong Young Wook, Guitar: Jung Hyun Chul,)

(Bass: Kim Jeong Wook, Drum: Shin Seok Cheol)

Thank you.

We're a little nervous about having Mr. Jeon...

as a guest.

- I'm very nervous. - Please understand if we make mistakes.

I'm nervous too.

- Really? - I watched the show...

you were on a lot. I'm a fan.

- Really? - Chan Hyuk.

- And AKMU, - That's right.

Su Hyun.

- Thank you, sir. - I'm sure everyone knows you so well.

Still, do you mind if I ask you for an introduction?

My name is Jeon In Kwon.

And my band name is "Jeon In Kwon Band."

Our bassist is Kim Jeong Wook.

- He's so cool. - He looks so cool.

And our drummer, Shin Seok Cheol.

And the lead guitarist, Jung Hyun Chul.

And our keyboardist, Dong Young Wook.

You've just shown us an amazing performance.

Can you tell us a little about the song?

The song's title is "Broken Heart."

After my mom's passing,

I went through a period of depression,

and it was during this time that I wrote the song.

Is there a reason why you always wear your sunglasses on stage?

I can't really sing with my eyes open.

I always close my eyes when I sing, and it's great.

Does it get you more into the song?

I like what I see in the mirror,

and I can get more into my singing when I know I look nice.

- The sunglasses give you confidence. - Yes.

I use that trick a lot too.

I often wear sunglasses on stage too.

Chan Hyuk, you have such a charming face.

Oh, my!

- You must be happy. - Your eyes...

- There's an old singer named Lee Soo Man. - What?

Yes.

Soo Man has slit eyes.

Right.

- Thank him already! - Thank you!

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Your vocal power is just as powerful as it was back in the day!

I hear you have a morning routine to keep it up.

What do you do?

Every morning, I train in pansori.

- Pansori? - Yes, training in pansori...

improves your sense of rhythm a lot.

I'd like to try it. Please show it to us.

- How can we do that? - We wanted to do our best...

to do whatever you would show us, but that's...

But since you've demonstrated it for us,

I think it's only right for us to try it.

The lyrics are here.

I've never done it before.

Is he doing it right?

Let's go!

Oh, no. What did you think of that?

Sorry, sir.

It's not as easy as I want it to be.

But I commend your effort.

What did you think of that?

It was amazing.

It was like we were in the space.

- Like we were in the space? - Yes.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I'd love to leave a video of us singing together.

I see.

If it's not too much to ask, could I sing a song with you?

You know the song "Around Thirty," right?

Yes!

- All right. - Should we sing it together?

Why don't we have our music director join us too?

Yes, the music director...

- Over there! - He's a genius!

He wrote this incredible song.

- Please give him a round of applause! - Right.

Please welcome Kang Seung Won.

He's the original songwriter of "Around Thirty."

Director Kang, please introduce yourself.

Hello, I'm the music director of this show.

I'm Kang Seung Won.

There's Mr. Jeon In Kwon on the left and Director Kang on the right.

How did I get so lucky? I'm so honored.

Please do a good job, Chan Hyuk.

I think this picture is quite legendary.

- Should I leave? - Please stay on the side.

Sure, I got it.

Thank you.

Please give a big round of applause to Director Kang!

I hope to hear him sing more.

Watching you from that side...

made me think we've worked so hard...

to make the best music we could,

and this was our reward for that.

- Thank you. - It was so touching.

Thank you, sir.

And we have good news.

You're performing soon?

I'm performing on November 11, Pepero Day.

Please come to watch my performance.

Could you introduce the last song you prepared?

I was going to sing this song...

"It's Only My World" with Chan Hyuk. So, I'll sing it with him.

Sorry?

I heard you prepared "It's Only My World."

But didn't Chan Hyuk say he couldn't sing it with you...

as the key was too high?

Didn't you say you couldn't sing it as the key was too high?

Yes, but Mr. Jeon is asking me to sing it.

I can see his eyes behind his sunglasses,

and he's giving me these eyes.

- So... - He's giving me those eyes,

so, as worried as I am that I may ruin the song,

- I'll try to sing it. - Try it, and if you ruin it too much,

we can record him singing it alone again.

You're fine with that, right?

Let's give them a round of applause as they sing "It's Only My World."

Thank you!

Thank you.

I guess I'll stay.

- Let's hear the version with you first. - Yes, I'll try it.

Good luck.

We'll sing "It's Only My World" now.

("It's Only My World" by Jeon In Kwon and Lee Chan Hyuk)

(Choi Sung Won was inspired to write this song watching me...)

(It's a well-loved song covered by many artists now.)

The next guest of "Long Day, Long Night with AKMU" is...

Everyone, what kind of people are we?

We cry and laugh when we listen to ballads.

We love ballads, don't we?

Nobody can beat the emotions this artist brings to ballads.

She's the queen of drama soundtracks...

and the ballad masterpiece collector.

Please welcome...

- LYn! - LYn!

(Hello? Hello! Please pick up the phone. This song is so sad.)

Thank you.

Please welcome LYn.

LYn, could you say hello to everyone?

Hello, everyone. I'm LYn. It's nice to meet you.

Hello!

It's nice to meet you.

I really wanted to meet you, sir.

My mistake. We've just had Mr. Jeon In Kwon.

I always hoped to meet you someday.

I think even the sound of your breathing...

- makes us immersed in your singing. - Oh, please.

Can you tell us about the song, please?

The song was "Ring Tone," which was released in 2009.

The song has become well-known among the younger generation...

as many younger artists have covered it many times.

That's right. The song is really popular.

- Really? - I saw so many covered versions.

Right. Many younger musicians sang this song.

That's why I've chosen this song today.

I hope you enjoyed it.

I held my breath the whole time.

- Before you came here today, - Okay.

I heard that you were very worried...

- and excited at the same time. - That's right.

I'm a fan of "Long Day, Long Night with AKMU."

And I saw Chan Hyuk looked very relaxed...

when he had guests around his age.

- I saw him sitting like this. - That's right.

And I love the way it looked like an American talk show.

- Really? - Yes!

That's exactly what I pursue, in fact.

- I love it. - Let's try it right now.

- Okay. - Like this.

I'm not good at something like this.

She's so cute.

Is it how we do it?

This is how things go these days. We don't have to be so formal.

How about being bolder, then?

- How about this vibe? - I love it.

Then how should I sit now?

I really wanted to sit cross-legged on stage.

- Really? - Go ahead.

- Let me try it. - If it's on your bucket list.

I love this.

You've debuted on this very set, right?

Right. On "Sora Lee's Propose."
