Hero (1)
-What is it? Why is KK here?
-Kang Do-wook??? Seok Ji-hoon???
-What am I seeing???
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I couldn’t believe it while listening to the song, but you guys were right!!
-Wow, this song is really amazing
-I didn’t even think about it because the way they sing
is different -It’s a completely different vibe from KK… Wow…
-I was wondering if a new comer like Comet would come out, but in the end, it turned out to be an established singer…I’m disappointed…in the end. The Korean music industry.. the thought of those vegetables and rice..
-Why on earth are you so disappointed hahaha
– I guess you don’t like vegetable bibimbap. Ah~ I want to eat it~
-??? Hahaha
– crazy hahahaha –
Seok Ji-hoon can you play the guitar too?
-I said I was learning at a fan meeting before… I’m studying composition along with it ㅠㅠ
-I’m really touchedㅠㅠ I feel like I received an unexpected surprise gift♡♡♡
-Only people who went to Life Song today hahaha
-Doukmari toilet paper But what happened to the information? Get some tissues ready
– I really had no idea
– I’m just crying ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– KK Class is sweeping the music charts even when they release a song while hiding their identity!
-Bunker 21 Where are the ugly kids who sing in the bunker? Haha
– Everyone said Bunker 21’s face would be Jonmot lol
– The standard for Jonmot must change…
– Ommani Banbehome ㅇ_x I thought it was Kang Do-wook
– Next week’s #1 is Bunker21’s reservation
– Well, Bunker is on air 1 The reason they didn’t rank was because they didn’t have album sales or points and didn’t receive fan votes, but now that it’s known that it’s KK, they’ll probably get full votes next week – If they
release an album, it’ll be even bigger
– It’s already amazing that they’re in 3rd place even though only the music scores are reflected haha
– On the music charts I don’t plan on going down haha. It’s really amazing, it’s amazing
– Red Eyes is at the level of a year now haha
– I thought it was boring because they played it so much in every store, but if Do-wook sings, it’s okay~^^~
– Oh, it’s really a blessing that I couldn’t go to today’s broadcast. Will it appear on…another broadcast? ㅠㅠ
-This is the keyring I just came from after checking the Bunker 21 schedule. Cold Radish… ㅠ
– If you go to KK’s concert, it will also be Bunker 21’s concert.
– You said you were holding a fan meeting soon, right?
All viewers watching ‘Life Song’ were surprised by Bunker21’s identity.
There has often been talk of Bunker21’s vocals being Kang Do-wook from KK because his vocal tone is similar to Do-wook’s.
However, what no one was sure about was that Do-wook’s singing style was so different from his usual singing style.
If Do-wook were Bunker21, he would have participated in the song ‘Listen’, but ‘Listen’ was a song that would be difficult to say that Dowook participated in.
No matter how different the genre was, when the same person composed and arranged the music, its original color was bound to be revealed. However, every part of the song, from the chord progression to the instruments used, was completely different from Dowook’s previous works.
It was natural.
This is because the composer and arranger of ‘Listen’ was Seok Ji-hoon.
From the beginning of their debut, KK members were very interested in directly participating in the album due to Dowook’s influence.
Seok Ji-hoon was the same. I learned everything from watching Do-wook, as well as Jung Yoon-gi and Kim Won, writing lyrics and working hard on songs every day.
As his basic knowledge about songwriting grew while working at KK, Seok Ji-hoon thought that he should try playing guitar, which he had been doing as a hobby, more seriously.
In particular, when I saw that a song composed by Jeong Yoon-gi was included in KK’s album, I was very inspired, even though I didn’t say anything.
It was a time when the name ‘48 Hours Camping’ was well known. I was very thankful for that, but since my main job was music, I wanted to grow musically as well.
After leaving ’48 Hours Camping’, Seok Ji-hoon continued to study while touring and performing various performances.
Not only did he already have basic skills, but everyone around him became Seok Ji-hoon’s helper. First of all, the members were all good teachers with extensive knowledge about music.
Although we only had a little time, the equipment was fully equipped and it was the perfect situation to study composition and other things. Shim Jun, the leader of the album production team, was also impressed by the way his nephew Seok Ji-hoon studied music without being conceited by his popularity, and gave Seok Ji-hoon a lot of theoretical help.
It was Do-wook who helped Seok Ji-hoon more than anyone else. Whenever Seok Ji-hoon felt gloomy that he didn’t seem to have any talent, it was Do-wook who not only became his mental helper by giving various advices, but also took good care of him and made sure Seok Ji-hoon was equipped with all the equipment.
Through Seok Ji-hoon’s own efforts and the help of many people, the song that was created during the U.S. performance was ‘Listen.’
Of course, it was not the first song that Seok Ji-hoon composed.
The first file title of ‘Listen’ was ‘Seok Ji-hoon ver.21’.
“This is it!”
“This is it?”
“Wow… is this really something you wrote, Jihoon?”
It was the 21st song released by Seok Ji-hoon. Only in the 21st version was Seok Ji-hoon able to write a song that satisfied the KK members.
In fact, the 21st song was not satisfactory. Team leader Shim Jun even made an uproar, saying that Gam was telling him that he had to release an album right away.
However, it was too far from KK’s music to be included on KK’s album.
‘Listen’ was a song that felt like your ears were melting right from the beginning with the acoustic guitar.
It was an amazing song to say that it was composed by Seok Ji-hoon, who is always polite and sometimes appears stiff. Perhaps because I studied through practical experience first, rather than going to an academy to study, both the chord progression and the way I used instruments were subtly different from existing songs.
That was also the reason why the public became enthusiastic about Seok Ji-hoon’s song ‘Listen’.
It was a very comfortable yet unique feeling to listen to.
Along with the OK unit album, there was talk about Seok Ji-hoon’s solo album. However, composer Seok Ji-hoon decided that it was better suited as a duet rather than a solo.
At that time, Do-wook had many thoughts.
KK was already normal and there was no one in the country who did not know Dowook. Of course, you should always do your best, but it was clear that as long as you had the name K.K., success was guaranteed to some extent.
But Dowook still wanted to grow. I wanted to challenge myself.
Dowook was even afraid of losing those spirits.
Also, one day, KK’s popularity will disappear. There was a fear that I felt because I am human, under the proposition that nothing lasts forever, that if the name K.K. disappears, I will be unable to do anything.
So what I was thinking about was to sing under a name other than my own.
It could be said to be an arrogant challenge, but Do-wook once again wanted to know whether Kang Do-wook, a member of Kang Do-wook, could be recognized as just a singing Kang Do-wook, rather than as Kang Do-wook, who had already become a star.
It was ‘just in time’.
Dowook suggested releasing a song while hiding his identity as K.K.
As Seok Ji-hoon, it was clear that if it was a song released by KK’s Seok Ji-hoon, there would be a lot of interest, and it was true that such things were burdensome.
That’s how the two formed ‘Bunker21’.
To match the song ‘Listen’, Do-wook changed his singing style and Seok Ji-hoon used a falsetto that he did not normally use in KK albums.
If you listened very closely, you could tell that it was two people, but it was difficult to tell that it was two people unless you were Team Leader Sim Jun.
In that process, Taehyung Park recommended a song during the ‘Dancing Dancing’ program meeting.
It could only be said that it was amazing timing that Bunker21 interfered with Chae Eun-ho’s solo album, which was one of Director Seo Jung-won’s important cards.
Bunker21’s ‘Listen’ was released and took first place on the music charts.
***
It’s time to announce the first place in ‘Song of Life’.
Today, all the cast members were on stage. Do-wook and Seok Ji-hoon were also there. The camera continued to focus on two people who were not even first place candidates. MC Obin also seemed to want to talk to Do-wook, not because the broadcast was the problem.
Producer Hyun Joo-hyuk, below the stage, looked like his mouth was being torn apart. This was because I heard the news that Bunker21’s stage recorded the highest real-time viewership ratings of ‘Life Song’ ever.
We won’t know until the ratings table comes out tomorrow, but this was enough to make SVS a gold standard.
“Today’s number one is…”
Da-hye, holding a cue card, said in a trembling voice while looking at the VCR screen. Only then did Chae Eun-ho and the girls appear side by side on the VCR screen.
The album score and music score were announced.
Chae Eun-ho’s album score was high, and the girls’ music score was high. Since both were evenly matched without a big difference, it seemed like first place would be decided by the final voting score.
It was a moment full of tension.
“First place is…”
Obin said, heightening the tension again.
Obin cheered for Chae Eun-ho and Da-hye cheered for the girls on his team and waited for first place to be decided. Seok Ji-hoon, who knew that Do-wook had invested in the girls, was also supporting the girls in his heart, but Do-wook’s feelings were a little different.
‘Chae Eun-ho is also a good singer who deserves to be first place…’
Chae Eun-ho’s skills as a soloist were surprising. Earlier, Dowook saw the stage with his own eyes and was greatly stimulated in his own way.
“First place is… Chae Eun-ho! Congratulations!”
Dahye’s lively voice resonated throughout the scene.
When first place was announced, Chae Eun-ho, who was watching the screen, burst into tears.
Obin’s eyes, who were looking at the MC, also became bright. Even when Man to Man won first place, the tears were not shed.
It was Chae Eun-ho’s first solo win. Chae Eun-ho has already been nominated for first place several times, but he kept losing out on first place to other singers, and only today was he able to take first place.
Every time I was pushed out, I saw the lack of awareness not only from the head of the division, Seo Jung-won, but also from the head of the strategic planning department. Responsibility for the result fell on Chae Eun-ho. In the meantime, Seo Joong-won, head of the company, was arrested, and the atmosphere inside Ara Entertainment continued to be unfavorable.
Not only Chae Eun-ho but also the Man to Man members continued to suffer.
That’s why I couldn’t help but shed tears at number one. Upon receiving the trophy and bouquet of flowers, Chae Eun-ho expressed his sincere gratitude.
The girls’ song was not even ‘Our Time’, but a follow-up song. It was clear that Man-to-Man fans would have suffered a huge blow to their pride if they had not been ranked first until today.
In contrast, the girls showed off their potential by nominating the follow-up song to their debut album for first place. It was unfortunate, but it was enough. The girls’ future was shining brightly no matter who saw it.
As the first place announcement time came to an end, the prelude to Chae Eun-ho’s song ‘LUV’ began to play.
As he went down the stage, Do-wook sincerely congratulated Chae Eun-ho on his first place. Chae Eun-ho wiped away her tears, smiled brightly, and bowed to Do-wook.
***
When Do-wook and Seok Ji-hoon returned to the waiting room.
In the waiting room, there were KK members and Manager Oh Baek-ho, who had come to congratulate the two on Bunker21’s debut stage.
As soon as I opened the waiting room door and entered, the members burst out paper fireworks and brought in cakes.
“Why even do this while everyone is so busy?”
Seok Ji-hoon just said that and couldn’t hold back his happy expression as he cut the cake.
It was a good time as we shared cake for a while. Manager Oh Baek-ho, who was alone looking at his watch to see if there was any urgent matter, said with a serious face.
“It’s over now.”
“What?”
“What ends?”
Kim Won and Ahn Hyeong-seo, who were eating cake, asked back. Do-wook was worried about Manager Oh Baek-ho, who had been looking nervous from earlier.
“Do-wook, it’s time for you to go.”
“I… where are I going?”
“uh. I have to go to the hotel and pack my bags. “I have to pack my bags and go to America…”
Manager Oh Baek-ho suppressed the smile that kept spreading across his lips.
“Do-wook Ma is going to America alone again?”
Manager Oh Baek-ho nodded to Jeong Yoon-gi’s question.
“I received a casting offer from Heroes.”
Everyone was dumbfounded and thought about what ‘Heroes’ was, and their thoughts seemed to stop for a moment.
“No way……”
Do-wook was the first to open his mouth. That was unlikely. General Comics’ movie ‘Heroes’. Dowook was asked to appear as one of the heroes in ‘Heroes’.
