WE'RE HALFWAY THERE

THE MONTHLY EVALUATION

SUPPORT FROM A CLOSE FRIEND

COLLABORATION WITH NEW FRIENDS

AND HELP FROM OLD FRIENDS

It's just difficult to write lyrics.

Melodies aren't easy either,

but thinking of words to go with them?

So difficult.

Lyrics.

Writing good lyrics

is my biggest homework right now.

I can't sleep these days

because of all these ideas in my head.

THE ROOKIE IS STRUGGLING WITH INSOMNIA

JUNGSANG PRODUCTIONS MEETING

I can't record anything

because I don't have the lyrics down.

The lyrics?

Are they not flowing?

No, I have to fix them.

Ms. Kim Ea-na, the lyricist,

actually offered to help you write lyrics.

If you wouldn't mind,

I'd like to help with the lyrics.

AT THE MONTHLY EVALUATION

This song has a lot of potential.

The melody could turn out great

with the right lyrics.

There are a lot of people

I could call for help.

ARE THERE?

There's Hyo-shin.

I want to ask him for advice.

THE GODS HAVE COME TO HIS RESCUE

I admire Hyo-shin as a musician,

and Gummy is

one of the best vocalists in Korea.

I love her as a musician.

MELODIES FROM THE BEST VOCALIS

That's what I'm talking about, Hyo-shin.

I just love the song.

I wish you'd teach me, Jung-seok.

Teach you what?

-What are you on about?

-Acting?

Hyo-shin.

Jung-seok always says

he wants to learn singing from you.

Whenever I listen to your songs,

-Ji-yeon says

-What the heck are you doing?

Are you flirting?

-You're worshipping each other nonstop.

-We're sorry.

We're sorry, Ea-na.

This is fun.

A-LIST TO PLAYLIS

WITH THE GOD OF FLIRTING

NO, THE GOD OF MUSIC

Hello, everyone.

You don't have to do that.

I forgot. This isn't that kind of show.

I'm just nervous.

I'm working with my wife

for the very first time.

I'm a bit nervous.

Hello.

Hello.

Can I say hello?

Hi.

GUMMY (PARK JI-YEON)

KNOWN FOR: "MEMORY LOSS,"

"CHILDISH ADULT," ETC.

I'm Gummy, Jung-seok's wife and a singer.

Nice to meet you.

Honey.

-This is so awkward.

-Hey.

The car's over here.

-What a gentleman.

-Of course.

My goodness. Thank you.

You're our honored guest today.

Thank you.

-Watch your arm.

-Okay.

SWEET HUSBAND MOMEN

Oh my goodness.

This is so weird.

He's really like a rookie singer.

He comes to bed to sleep,

but he's gone when I wake up.

He spends all night working.

He's really into it.

He's always working on his music.

I can tell how invested he is

and how serious he is about music

and this project.

I'd love to give him

the advice that he needs

and actually work with him

to make this process more fun,

but I've been very busy

taking care of our child right now.

I kind of feel bad

that I can't help out more.

I'd love to be more involved.

We've never been

on a show together, have we?

-This is a first.

-It is.

Thank you so much.

-You don't have to be thankful.

-But I am.

The great Gummy is here.

Gosh, you flatter me.

I'm just your favorite musician.

Although I am the best one in the house.

Right.

OFF TO MEET THE GOD OF LYRICS

I think it's over that way.

Is that where the studio is?

Hello. Look, they recognize us.

SAYING HI TO FANS DRIVING BY

How did they know?

I thought they were someone you knew.

There they are.

-Goodness.

-Ea-na!

-Hello.

-Hello.

KIM EA-NA, LYRICIS

KNOWN FOR: "GOOD DAY,"

"YOU & I," "I AM," ETC.

-Long time no see.

-Ea-na!

I can't believe it.

Ea-na was in charge of A&R for my albums

back when I was signed with YG.

A&R: PLANNING THE PRODUCTION

OF ARTISTS AND ALBUMS

She had a very positive influence on me,

and we've been close friends since then.

I've been well.

-We talk about you all the time.

-Really?

-All the time.

-I bet your ears were burning.

We always talk about

how we should hang out.

And here we are.

I've never even done a show with you.

-I know.

-But I'm here for your husband's show.

-Yes, for the second time.

-I can't thank you enough.

-No problem at all.

-My goodness.

I'm happy to help.

Do you see Hyo-shin often?

I do, yes.

Our studios are close by.

ANOTHER GOD OF MUSIC WILL JOIN THEM

-They really love each other.

-I see.

Hyo-shin likes Jung-seok

more than he likes me.

I wonder how many times

they'll say they love each other.

-Do they say that?

-You'll see.

I do love him.

Hyo-shin's like a golden retriever.

Wouldn't you agree?

He really is.

Right? He even walks like one.

Totally.

TIME TO MEET THE GOLDEN RETRIEVER

We're here.

I think he's already outside.

RETRIEVER STEPS

-Bro.

-Jung-seok.

Hyo-shin.

Hey, Jung-seok.

I missed you.

-Thank you so much.

-Don't mention it.

Hello, I'm Park Hyo-shin.

I absolutely adore Jung-seok.

PARK HYO-SHIN

KNOWN FOR: "SNOW FLOWER," "WILD FLOWER,"

"BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW," "GOODBYE," ETC.

And he's now the husband

of an old friend of mine.

I came on the show

hoping that I could help him

in any possible way.

Hyo-shin is honestly

one of my favorite musicians.

Back when Gummy and I

kind of had feelings for each other

but weren't actually dating yet,

she said she was

having a drink with Hyo-shin

someplace nearby me,

and I really wanted to be there.

To see whom, you ask?

Both of them.

Anyway, I asked her

if I could join them.

Thankfully, Hyo-shin liked me too,

and we quickly became close friends.

I missed you.

-Thank you so much.

-Don't mention it.

-I didn't get much sleep though.

-I love you.

Love you too.

-Over here.

-This one?

-Yes, come here.

-Goodness.

-The superstar is here.

-Look how lightly dressed he is.

Get in already.

Hurry up.

You look like a superstar.

-I did what I could.

-Ever the diva.

-Been a while since you've met people?

-Yes.

-I knew it.

-I don't usually do this kind of stuff.

-No.

-I know.

But I came without a second thought

because I wanted to see you guys.

My daughter's always looking

at the picture you drew.

How is little Ye-won doing?

-She's doing good.

-She must be so big now.

-She's really big now.

-My goodness.

Hyo-shin drew a portrait of Ye-won.

-I did.

-We still have it.

-He's a great artist.

-I'd ask her,

"Who drew this?"

And she says, "Mommy's friend."

We keep it in a spot in our basement

so that when we have guests over,

-everyone can see it.

-Wasn't it on the couch?

-Right in the middle.

-Yes, it is.

We didn't even hang it.

-We just keep it on the couch.

-Yes.

You guys don't have to

go home tonight, do you?

Wait, where are you taking us?

-Are we being kidnapped?

-We just don't want you to leave.

KIDNAPPED TO THE STUDIO

My studio is great.

-I wanted to have you guys over.

-I'm excited.

-I'm curious about this project.

-Me too.

You're in for a surprise.

-Prepare to be amazed.

-No.

Ea-na has already heard my songs.

-I did.

-But you've improved since then.

There's one amazing song.

-Really?

-Remember all the feedback

that you and the others gave him?

I think that really helped him.

He's such a quick learner.

-Stop it.

-Okay.

Am I overdoing it?

-Yes!

-I'll just say you're terrible.

-Don't build up their expectations.

-This is nice.

He even went to the salon today.

He never does for this show.

Don't tell them that.

-That's not even

-They should know.

It is pretty obvious.

-But

-They should know how committed you are.

I was actually surprised

because I didn't expect him

to be all dolled up.

That's how serious he is about this.

He's nervous, and so am I.

It took a while for me

to pick out my outfit too.

I've been in my closet since yesterday.

You went all out.

-I've never seen you wear so many rings.

-I haven't been out for a while.

That's why I'm wearing sunglasses too.

-Really?

-Are your eyes okay?

They're all puffy

-because I had a cold recently.

-We'll see later.

How long has it been since your debut?

Twenty-five years this year.

I've been around for as long as you have.

-Twenty years?

-Twenty years last year.

0 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

-Wow.

-Since you debuted as a lyricist, right?

Such veterans.

Hyo-shin's been around the longest.

But Ji-yeon was already famous

before her debut.

She just decided to debut a bit later.

I'm surrounded by masters.

I'm even living with one.

I know. You're living with a master.

-You're silly.

-I'm so lucky

to have you in my life.

WELCOME, MASTERS

-We're here.

-Is this it?

It looks like a café.

Wow.

Look at all this condensation.

Goodness.

-Wow.

-Here we are.

-Amazing.

-This place is nicer than our house.

-You're unbelievable.

-Come on, it's not like that.

I always wondered

why he came home so late.

This place is great.

That's so funny.

So this is where I work.

"Ji-eun was here."

A MUST-SEE SPO

IU came by a while ago.

-You should write something too.

-Wow, really?

His guest lineup is insane.

Please have a seat.

-This takes me back.

-I love this.

-I can't believe we're all hanging out.

-I know.

-Good to see you.

-Likewise.

-All right.

-Thank you for coming.

I'm so glad Ea-na mentioned pizza earlier.

-This is perfect.

-I know.

-Eat something, Ji-yeon.

-I am eating.

Want some chicken?

-Yes, please.

-Are you always so polite?

-Yes.

-Goodness.

Back when we were dating,

I asked her why she was

always so formal with me.

I almost felt rude.

You know, it was weird.

-She was so polite, but I was

-Casual.

That's just how I am.

I don't know if I can

talk to him so casually.

-A lot of married couples do that.

-Maybe I've gotten used to it.

I hear it prevents fights from escalating.

It definitely doesn't develop further.

-"Develop?"

-Do you even have fights?

Not really.

I tend to be

an obedient husband.

Ji-yeon is very wise,

so I usually listen to her.

She always has been.

A lot of people expect Jung-seok

to always be cheerful and talkative,

but he's quiet and serious

about 80% of the time.

-He's not that talkative.

-In general?

Yes.

Is it usually quiet at your place?

It is. Even more so nowadays,

since he's always working on his songs.

-He must be busy.

-He is.

Let me just pull up the songs for you.

He cracks me up.

I was kind of nervous.

Gummy and the rest of them

are these amazing artists.

MEGA-HIT LYRICIS

FINAL BOSS SINGER

GOD AMONGST VOCALISTS

AND A ROOKIE SINGER

I was curious to find out

what they had to say,

but I was also embarrassed,

so I wanted to get it over with.

I had all sorts of mixed feelings

about the whole situation.

How do you feel?

Is that a microphone?

I'm very excited and nervous.

You've gotten a lot more confident.

-I see that too.

-Right.

This is him being very confident.

-I agree.

-Totally.

I want to hear everything.

As for the first song,

the lyrics are still in the works.

Anyway, here we go.

-I'm nervous.

-I know.

"CHAMPAGNE (WORKING TITLE)"

LYRICS AND MUSIC BY CHO JUNG-SEOK

Love it.

-I love it already.

-Do you like it?

I thought you might.

You should have written

lyrics like these to begin with.

Let's drink the night away

You've got to let loose sometimes

Oh my love

Tonight is your night

Let's lose ourselves tonight

And laugh

You know you're good enough

Just the way you are, oh yeah

And then it's the outro.

Why am I explaining it?

That's actually helpful.

-Really?

-Yes.

Especially when it's not complete.

I get really talkative.

-Don't even get me started.

-I can't stop talking.

It's a song of consolation.

Back when my wife

was carrying our daughter,

I felt bad for her

and wanted to console her.

That was the inspiration behind this song.

"You did so well today."

"Tonight is your night."

And after that, it's just

-Ad-libs.

-Yes, that just keeps going.

I love this one.

-Really?

-It's so good.

What I love is

how champagne is introduced as a sound.

I like that first line too.

As the champagne pops to a fizz

-His voice is perfect for that line.

-He's so good.

There are a few bits

I want to point out.

I should take notes.

Where's my pencil case?

Where are you?

If I were you, I would revise the line,

"The sound embraces you."

-All right.

-Where? "Embraces you"?

You mean the second line.

You could say something like

"I see you smiling"

or "I can see your smile."

Describe the other person.

Yes, so we know someone's there.

THE FEEDBACK SESSION BEGINS

It lets you picture this person.

You guys are amazing.

Can I just say what's on my mind?

-That's what I did.

-Of course.

Can I speak freely?

But I don't want him to change too much

because of me.

That's exactly what you're here for.

Okay, so this is my personal opinion,

but the drink is mentioned too often,

so I'd replace the last line.

Something like,

"May the long nights keep you cozy."

-That would make it

-Get away from the drink.

-That would sound more sentimental.

-I agree.

Once you change that part,

personally

-Okay, personally?

-Keep the "personally" coming.

I think the change would

make it more emotional.

Right?

You talk about

how meaningful this night is

because the drink part

is already established.

WRITING EVERYTHING DOWN

-Look at him.

-Personally.

Personally.

-That's so catchy. "Personally."

-Personally.

-If I were you

-If I were you

I'm not saying you should do this.

SUDDENLY BACKING OU

I tend to be very reserved

when it comes to voicing my opinion.

But I love Jung-seok very much,

so if my opinion can help him in any way,

it's a good enough reason

to be more vocal.

PERSONALLY

IF I WERE YOU

"If I were you," ladies and gentlemen.

He changed it to "If I were you."

A VERY HYO-SHIN THING TO SAY

I think the "good enough" part

could also be improved.

There must be a better way to put it.

Maybe something

more direct than "good enough."

Actually, "good enough" is a phrase that

It means something to you, doesn't it?

I actually wrote that line

-with Ji-yeon in mind.

-Of course.

It's from one of our conversations.

-Oh my goodness.

-Really?

-That's why I stayed quiet.

-I said "personally."

-I'm a terrible person.

-No, I am.

GOOD LORD

-How dare you?

-I didn't know.

She always says things like,

"I feel like I'm not good enough

to be a mom."

And naturally,

I'm the one she talks to about that.

So I'd tell her, "Don't say that."

"You're more than good enough.

You're already a great mom."

That's how it came to be.

Anyway, that was it.

I just wanted to let you know the context.

I like sharing my own story

through my music too.

It's so meaningful.

You could consider placing it

in another part

without as much emphasis.

Just an idea.

-Right. Placement matters.

-Yes.

Having a phrase like that

when the song is building up

diminishes the magical quality

that comes before it.

I don't think I could give him such advice

even if I wanted to.

-I understand.

-You know how it is.

-It's hard when it's your family.

-Exactly.

Plus, I know exactly

where he gets these ideas from.

Whenever my husband

makes suggestions about my lyrics,

I can't help but react emotionally.

I get upset.

WHAT?

-Because he should know what you meant?

-I'm not sure.

When someone else gives me feedback,

I rarely get offended.

But when it's my husband, it's a bit

So he does it via email now.

Ji-yeon has actually been very supportive.

I play my songs

and ask her for advice when I'm home,

and she always tells me they're good.

-So I keep asking her if she means it.

-I do.

Sometimes, I'd feel bad

about bothering her so much.

-I get it.

-This is hilarious.

I would sit next to her,

have my song playing on my phone,

and just go about my day.

-And he watches my reaction.

-That's how I play it for her.

He plays it for me, he says.

I haven't started writing the lyrics

for this next song yet.

I only have the melody.

The genre is city pop.

CITY POP?

It didn't start off

as a city pop song at first.

THE NIGHT OF JUNGSANG PRODUCTIONS

COMPANY RETREA

Do you know this chord progression?

-Second, fifth, and the root.

-Yes.

-It's a popular one, right?

-It is.

"Two-five-one." That's a common one.

This is how it goes in D minor.

IT STARTED FROM A CHORD PROGRESSION

D minor

I mean

I wasn't too familiar with city pop,

but I thought its style

might work with this song,

with some brass instruments.

Something like that.

That's how that song started.

"CITY POP (WORKING TITLE)"

MUSIC BY CHO JUNG-SEOK

He does all sorts of genres.

-He has everything.

-Right?

-He really loves his brass.

-I know.

-This is good. Keep going.

-This is right up Hyo-shin's alley.

It goes like that.

-Keep going.

-I mean

I don't have the whole melody yet.

I love it so far.

-Is that it?

-It's a work in progress.

Such a variety of genres.

-Right?

-I know.

But because Jung-seok's voice

has such a strong presence,

if he doesn't try many different genres

-People might get bored.

-Exactly.

When IU came over, she suggested

You know how my music

is more on the happy side?

So she told me to try a "bad boy" persona.

She said I should write songs

that are more on the badass side.

I love that idea.

He can actually pull off

a great bad guy voice.

-Totally.

-I have played bad guys a few times.

Like your character

from Don't Dare to Dream.

-In the beginning.

-Absolutely.

I never talked like, "Hey."

It was more like, "Hey."

Or something like, "Hey!"

-That was charming.

-When I talked to Pyo Na-ri.

I actually thought

that I'd hit a dead end here.

I've played both bad guys and good guys,

but with music,

I need to come up with a story

and sing it as well.

So I want to try

being a bad guy in a song,

but I couldn't seem to

come up with a scenario

that I can base the lyrics on.

But I'm kind of into the idea.

At this point, I know him too well,

so I know that he can't be a bad guy.

It's just not in his nature.

But before we started dating,

he did confuse me sometimes.

-Did he really?

-Yes.

Why would you bring that up?

-That was when

-What happened?

Isn't this what you want to know?

Tell us. I'm so curious now.

-About this "bad guy" thing

-Hold on.

-What's that face you're making?

-Hang on.

Wait.

Ji-yeon, are you sure

you want to talk about this?

Just how bad were you?

What do you think I'm talking about?

BAD GUY

There was someone

who really wanted us to be together.

Whenever we'd meet up,

they'd always invite Jung-seok.

But he would go, "Why are you calling me?"

"I'm busy working."

But he'd always show up.

I mean

-Always.

-After saying he's busy?

-Yes.

-Did you two not keep in touch?

Well, he did.

It's like he put up an invisible wall.

He's pretending he's not here.

He kept in touch once in a while.

How often is "once in a while"?

Once every month or two.

No wonder you didn't know

that he had feelings for you.

What are you talking about?

-You're such a prude.

-What?

CLUELESS ABOUT DATING

You have no idea.

Isn't that how it is?

But hear me out.

If a guy doesn't call

for a couple of months

If someone calls you once every month

without a good reason,

there's a 100% chance they like you.

-Really?

-It's 100%, you dummy.

See, I'm clueless.

So this kept going on for a while

until one day,

he invited me to this gathering

with the whole cast and crew of his film.

That's basically a marriage proposal.

-Hold on.

-Let's hear from Jung-seok at this point.

I was there with Song Kang-h* at the time,

as well as Han Jae-rim,

director of The Face Reader.

-But the thing is

-Don't you want to know

what he said about you

before you showed up?

I actually have no idea.

He probably said I was a friend.

Do you really think they didn't know?

This is getting interesting.

What did you tell them?

Well

I already had feelings for her.

-Obviously.

-I did.

I did have feelings for her,

but I tried to curb them.

You already had feelings for me back then?

-He wouldn't have called you otherwise.

-Hold on.

I've actually been in similar situations

before Jung-seok.

-What?

-Hang on.

Wait, I just meant

Not with other male actors.

People from other fields.

You never told me this.

No way, we've talked about this.

I'm a singer, but I'm curious

about how other industries work.

-You mean inviting you to work gatherings?

-Yes.

I thought you meant

someone you had feelings for

had made a move like I did.

No way.

-I was so confused.

-Come on, man.

Okay, go on.

That was the day

I really started having feelings for him.

-Really?

-Yes.

He just looked totally different.

I find inner masculinity to be attractive.

-I know you do.

-Right?

And he was so

As you know, I'm very masculine.

Who are you talking to?

Are we on House of Cards?

That's when I saw

that he had a lot of qualities

that I liked.

And then that thing happened.

He stopped calling me on a regular basis.

-After inviting you?

-Yes, exactly.

That was a stressful time for me.

And then I found out

-What did you find out?

-Guys.

Will you give me a chance to explain?

What did she find out?

Everything she said is true.

-Where is this going?

-Please explain.

I acted the way that I did

because I had made

a promise to myself

to never date anyone.

The thing is

-Did you have a reason?

-I did.

I was in the process of taking my career

from stage to camera,

and I'm a firm believer in the rule,

"If you're going to do something,

do it right."

So I didn't want to date anyone

when I couldn't do that.

I didn't want to burden anyone.

But then

Your heart disagreed.

Whenever I saw her,

I'd be attracted to her.

I could tell her to stop calling,

but then I'd find myself with her.

This is the highlight of this story.

I met her one day,

and she told me we should stop.

-She told me not to call her.

-It was too hard.

That's why I called him.

I got the feeling

she was cutting me out of her life.

When she said that,

all the concerns in my heart

suddenly went away.

That was the day

we officially started dating.

-Really?

-That's it. I'm embarrassed.

The point is, he could never be a bad guy.

I have one song left.

I kept this one for last

because it means the most to me.

I'm thinking of turning it into a duet.

-Really?

-Yes.

Why do you want it to be a duet?

I just got the impression

that this is a sophisticated song.

It's weird to say about my own work,

but I was imagining how it would sound

with some vintage instruments,

and I thought it'd sound cooler as a duet.

And you want to sing it with me?

That's why I asked.

That's what I wanted to know.

We duet all the time at home.

Gummy and I both thought

performing a duet together

would be a nice surprise to our fans

as well as the public.

I had no idea how many people wanted us

to do a duet together.

So we've been thinking

that it would be the right thing to do.

So when he pitched the idea,

I thought about it,

and I thought it'd be nice.

She was the first person I thought of,

for obvious reasons.

This is the first song

I wrote for this show.

You might be a bit confused

when you hear it,

but here goes.

"I JUST WANNA LOVING (WORKING TITLE)"

LYRICS AND MUSIC BY CHO JUNG-SEOK

I see you smiling in the faded picture

It fades further away as time goes by

The demo had all English lyrics.

I remember reading the lyrics.

The tan on my face

And the memories with you

They all go away too fast

Is that him playing the electric guitar?

-Is it?

-Yes, I played it.

-How do you know how to play like that?

-I know.

He practiced it for Hospital Playlist.

The way he played it

a bit laid-back was great.

-I love that.

-He's a natural.

My broken English is so embarrassing.

He's good at this too.

I don't know how he does it.

You're like a proud mom

talking about her kid.

-No, but seriously.

-Totally.

"My son's a genius!"

You sound like his agent.

No.

Even when we were dating,

I'd tell him that all the time.

That was it.

That was the end.

But the drums just came in.

-I was just getting into it.

-Sorry.

I was grooving.

Now I feel bad.

Writing a duet is hard,

and it's not just the lyrics.

This is the song

I'm having the most trouble with.

If I were you, I'd focus on the song form.

"If I were you," ladies and gentlemen.

He changed it to "If I were you."

If I were you.

From "personally" to "if I were you."

A bit more assertive.

You should make a clear separation

between the male parts

and the female parts.

Like a verse for each?

Yes, you should tell the story,

with Gummy only chiming in

-when her part comes along.

-You're absolutely right.

You can't sing together

all throughout the song.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm serious.

Obviously, I'd really have to listen to

and study the song more.

The line "Tell me, tell me loud"

won't be going anywhere.

I like it where it is.

I think that line should be

saved for later

-because it leads to the core message.

-Right.

So it should only come out

when it's absolutely necessary.

-I should write this down.

-Wait, no.

I think this song

requires some strategic planning.

What do you guys think

about us doing a duet with this song?

Singing a duet with one's spouse

is a beautiful idea,

and his wife happens to be Gummy.

HAPPENS TO BE THE GOD AMONG VOCALISTS

Which is why I think it'd be really cool

to have her appear as a surprise.

Back when Tiger JK released a new song

featuring his wife, Yoon Mi-rae,

after a long break,

I went, "Holy crap, she's amazing!"

Her part wasn't even that long.

It was short,

but it made a huge difference.

-If I were you, I'd choose

-A different song?

-A song that could have such an impact.

-Yes.

When Gummy's part starts,

it has to have that impact.

That's how it should be.

I guess you have some thinking to do.

I guess we'll have to try it.

I see you smiling

The problem is

that I don't have time to do this.

I have too much on my plate

with our daughter.

The chord progression is really nice.

It's a riff on its own.

You can definitely sound trendy.

When we're hanging out together,

he'd play the guitar,

and I'd just start humming melodies to it.

He wrote a lot of songs that way.

That's how we did this one.

-Why didn't we listen to that?

-Which one?

I'm about to play it for you now.

At first, it goes

"DEMO WITH GUMMY" (2017)

MUSIC BY CHO JUNG-SEOK

One more time.

-Something like that.

-That's it.

-That's how it goes.

-I'm drunk.

I'm just going to share

my initial take on it.

I've never really pictured you

singing a song of this sort,

-but I think it'd be great in your album.

-Of course.

A cool melody just popped up in my mind.

Let me get this melody down

before I forget it.

-If you think it'd be helpful, that is.

-Please. I'd love that.

HYO-SHIN DECIDES TO RECORD HIS MELODY

Can you play it back

from when the drums come in?

-He just came up with a melody.

-Goodness.

I can't believe it.

Once he gets going,

there's no stopping him.

I already hit "record."

This is my idea. Listen.

After that, Gummy should go

After that, you can come in with

Tell me, tell me loud

Right after that.

Wow, I love that.

It sounds good enough for Gummy now.

It's just something

that popped into my head.

I got so excited

that I named the file "Pork Hyo-shin."

-"Pork Hyo-shin."

-I meant to type "Park."

I like this idea.

Because the "Tell me loud" part

is fixed where it is,

and your melody flows very well with that.

Everything sounds great when you sing it.

I only thought of it

because Jung-seok's song was good.

Are you saying you like my song?

That's what I'm talking about, Hyo-shin.

I just love the song.

The chord progression

is nothing like I've heard before.

It's very unique.

-Gummy's getting excited again.

-Sorry.

These are the key phrases of tonight.

"Personally" and "Proud Mom."

TIME FOR THE AFTER-PARTY

WITH THE CREW

What I'm really jealous about is

that you get to experiment with your songs

before the public has made

any judgment about your music

and then actually release the album.

I think that's amazing.

I'm still just a novice,

so I want to try everything I can.

-Just like I how I try different roles.

-I can tell you're serious about this.

Once I started, I kept wanting to do more.

HE GETS TO TRY EVERYTHING

AS THIS IS HIS FIRST TIME

I know Ea-na gets this.

When you're writing lyrics,

you can't avoid writer's block.

-It's really tough.

-Seriously.

That's why I respect Ea-na.

I have a lot of respect for her too.

Are we taking turns

complimenting each other?

No, I just have so much respect for you.

-I just

-Is it my turn now?

OKAY, SO THIS IS HAPPENING

When I work alone and hit writer's block,

I get this burning urge

to find the right words for this melody.

That's when I meet up with Ea-na

and work together.

I think I can get too technical sometimes.

But working with Hyo-shin

gets me back on track

in terms of delving into the message.

-That's nice.

-We have that synergy.

I wish you'd teach me, Jung-seok.

HYO-SHIN IS FANBOYING AGAIN

Hyo-shin.

Jung-seok always says

that he wants to learn singing from you.

Whenever I listen to your songs,

-Ji-yeon says

-What the heck are you doing?

Are you flirting?

-You're worshipping each other nonstop.

-We're sorry.

We're sorry, Ea-na.

You should go home.

We can wrap up without you.

EA-NA IS SENT AWAY FOR THEIR LOVE

AND SO SHE LEF

I'm leaving soon too.

Just one more drink. Right, Jung-seok?

Of course.

Come here, Hyo-shin.

LAST DRINK FOR REAL

-My love.

-My love.

He only calls me that.

-Really?

-He's in trouble now.

You know Hyo-shin is the only man

that I call "my love," right?

Compared to my first album,

what you have is far better.

-What are you talking about?

-I'm serious.

Because back then,

I had no idea

what kind of music I wanted to make.

I didn't even think about

what I wanted to do.

When I was writing

"Wild Flower" on my own,

there was a time when I couldn't

even come up with a single word.

You know what I really needed back then?

For someone

who is nominally better than me

-To give you reassurance.

-Exactly.

To hear them say that they loved my work.

I would have felt so much better

about my work if I had that,

but no one was there for me.

So I think it's great

that you have this show

-to help you expand your horizons.

-Absolutely.

I'm actually jealous of you

and this project.

-I already like all of his work.

-Me too.

But still,

I thought it'd be nice

to give you some pointers.

-That's why

-Of course.

-Thank you so much.

-That was incredibly helpful.

It's so that your message

can reach more people's hearts.

Exactly.

You're a genius.

You're good.

Thank you.

After hearing the advice

you and Ea-na gave me,

I'm getting tons of ideas

in terms of arrangement.

I'll have to talk to Berry about it.

Another all-nighter.

Seriously,

he works until after sunrise.

That's true.

He's always in the basement.

That's his life these days.

Right, Hyo-shin.

Can I have your autograph?

Sure.

-For me.

-For you?

Write "To Jung-seok."

All right. He wrote a whole letter.

Thank you, sir.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, JUNG-SEOK.

I'M PROUD TO BE YOUR FRIEND.

Ea-na, Ji-yeon, and Hyo-shin's visit

and all the advice they gave me

taught me a lot, broadened my horizons,

and bolstered my courage for this project.

I promise to write good songs

and present them

to all of you.
