Damn Idol Episode 96
-???????????????????
-????????? Is it manipulation??
-When I saw it on the algorithm, I thought it was someone pranking me... It's an official channel haha.
-Why is crazy Han Si-on there? What question are they going to ask??
- Hahahahahahaha what is it? What crime did Han Si-on commit?
-The crime of stealing my heart.
-I'm really embarrassed, but am I the only one expecting it to be a lot of fun?
-Money is more important than the love of fans haha. Of course it is money haha.
-I was waiting for Han Sion's first entertainment show... but this isn't it...
- Haha, that sounds fun. Watching idols fall apart is my hobby haha.
-What are some expected questions?
-Who do you think is the worst among the 3 Months and One Hundred Days members?
-Hahaha Do you think Take Scene's win was justified?!
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkk Increased foresight.
Looking at the overall reaction, it was Lee-Wae-jin.
Why is this real?
>Lee-Wae-jin is short for 'Why is this real?'
For your information, Lee Wae-jin was not taught by Choi Jae-seong.
This is what I originally knew.
Seeing the speed at which comments were piling up, it seemed like the appearance was truly unexpected for viewers.
Well, there has never been a normal human found in the abyss detector.
Anyway, I like it because it seems to capture the topic.
At that time, Lee Ion put down his smartphone and tapped my shoulder.
"Sion, did you answer something wrong?"
"no. no."
"Not one? Was it all a lie?"
"If you think about it that way, there are a few... ... . I said it on purpose to make it seem wrong."
"What are you talking about?"
"You'll know it when you watch the broadcast. It's two days later anyway."
"But what's a bit strange is why did Lion leave the abyss detector alone?"
I can't know the answer to Koo Tae-hwan's question unless I'm Choi Dae-ho.
But the most likely ones were two.
"two?"
"First, Choi Dae-ho's influence did not work."
<Abyss Detector> is a hot content that attracts 10 million viewers when the video is released, but it is a program that is difficult to recruit.
Because it is a special move chosen by celebrities struggling in the abyss as their last resort.
Moreover, the fact that they fell into the abyss itself means that he was originally a famous celebrity.
Even if unknown celebrities get into accidents, the public doesn't know about them or don't remember them.
Naturally, the level of difficulty in recruiting was bound to be enormous.
Of course, there was a time when abyss detectors also recruited unknown celebrities to film content in order to lower the difficulty of recruiting them.
But all of those videos failed miserably.
The format of this program is such that if you don't know who it is, you won't be interested.
Given this situation, there is a possibility that the production team ignored Choi Dae-ho's pressure.
First of all, only when you are not hungry can you care about other people's circumstances.
Jo Taehoon also told a similar story.
"We had a difficult time getting involved, so I just told Daeho hyung off... ... . Other programs won't be easy."
However, I cannot confirm this because I feel like Jo Tae-hoon betrayed me at Choi Dae-ho's request.
"Then what about the second?"
"Choi Dae-ho may have given the OK after watching the recording of the abyss detector."
"why?"
"He thought I could really go to hell."
I was definitely good at avoiding most of the questions.
However, in some areas, answers were given that the public could accept sensitively.
"It was my intended answer, but in Choi Dae-ho's eyes, it may have been abyss."
"... ... What kind of question was that?"
hmm.
Originally, I wasn't going to tell the members until the video was released.
I want to see a vivid reaction.
But if they are this immersed, I think it's okay to say it now.
"I'll tell the MC's question verbatim. In this case, the flow of conversation leading up to the question is important."
"okay. Uh, no. Just ask the same question."
"Is that so?"
Lee Ion's words struck me deeply, and I thought of Jo Tae-hoon's voice.
"Mr. Lee Ion. You're in an idol group, right?"
"Oh, what? Did you imitate Jo Tae-hoon's vocal cords? It's very similar, isn't it?"
I shrugged my shoulders at Choi Jae-seong's words.
I am a person who has experimented with my voice in a million different ways.
Now, I have a tone that I ultimately pursue, and I tune my voice accordingly.
But it hasn't been that long since this happened.
I think I decided to focus on pop punk and soul punk before doing GOTM.
Listening to the advice of Lucid Bean, a leading figure in punk.
Anyway, for me, who has experimented a lot with timbre, imitating vocal cords is not that difficult.
As long as the vocal range of the voice is similar.
While I was there, I showed the members something fun.
"This is Choi Jae-seong."
"Oh, what?"
"This is Koo Tae-hwan. I'll try my best."
"oh!"
Choi Jae-seong and Koo Tae-hwan, whose basic tones are close to mid-low pitch, can imitate very similarly.
Ion hyung has a strange tone so I can't imitate him, and On Saemiro's basic tone is high pitched so it doesn't suit me.
"Sion."
"yes?"
"Would you like to stop playing around and try the abyss detector?"
"Ah yes."
The kindergarten teacher is a bit strict today.
"Mr. Lee Ion, are you in an idol group?"
"yes. I belong to 3 Months and One Hundred Days."
"So, among other boy groups, which is your favorite?"
"I basically respect all my seniors, but my dream grew after watching Once when I was young."
Once?
Once is the idol group that Blue was a member of.
This is a very old team.
"Then which boy group do you think is currently ranked number one?"
"... ... ."
Lee Ion's eyes shake mercilessly.
If he reacts like that to just this much of a question, Lee Ion shouldn't go to the abyss detector.
However, Lee Ion soon regained his composure and came up with a plausible answer.
"No. 1 is bound to be subjective, but at this point, I think dropout is No. 1 as an objective indicator. It's No. 1 on the music charts."
"Oh, appropriate."
"You'll have to take a lie detector test, but I think it'll be pretty good if it's true, right?"
The members give general comments on Lee Ion's answer.
For reference, I too gave a similar answer.
But this was probably the MC's expected range.
Even when we were filming, Drop Out was number one.
"When NOP makes a comeback next week, two top boy groups will clash for the first time in a long time."
"... ... no way?"
Lee Ion seems to have predicted the next question.
"When two teams meet, which team do you want to win?"
"... ... ."
Drop Out and NOP are two of the top boy groups in Korea, both in name and reality.
There are a lot of fandoms, and there are a lot of fights between fandoms.
When Drop Out was inactive for a while, NOP fans worked extremely hard to frame Drop Out as obsolete.
To that extent, NOP fans are wary of Drop Out, and Drop Out fans despise NOP.
It was said to be an answer that a new idol group could not dare to give.
In fact, the person asking the question is also criticized.
"The right to veto, the right to veto!"
Lee Ion shouted, but it was impossible.
"The veto was used elsewhere."
"Elsewhere? Is there a question more sensitive and dangerous than this?"
"yes. There was one."
"... ... ."
"What is the answer?"
"... ... I can't do it. No, I can do it here. But how do you do it on air?"
Choi Jaesung, who was quietly listening from the side, asks with a serious face.
"What did Sion hyung say?"
My answer was simple.
"NOP."
"... ... Any further explanation? You would have made an excuse."
"I didn't do that."
"... ... We're done. Lion Enter can get tired. But Drop Out fans can't possibly get tired."
A dark cloud hangs over the faces of the members except me.
I guess they just remembered the 3 Months and 100 Days Despair episode in their heads.
But I didn't give this answer for nothing.
It's not like I'm trying to attract wide-area aggro and be mentioned in the article.
"actually... ... ."
When I tell the members about the plan, their expressions change every moment.
Surprise, admiration, worry, etc.
Many emotions are mixed together.
"Will that work?"
"It might not be as neat as I thought. But it will still be effective."
If the game of whack-a-mole was free, all the moles would be ruined.
If I was bored, I would have hit you.
But in reality, that is not the case.
Because you have to pay to play the game.
This is what I am going to do from now on.
If Choi Dae-ho was going to hit us, he was going to make us pay.
If the cost becomes too great, Choi Dae-ho will give up on attacking three months and one hundred days.
Because he is a businessman.
But by then, it will be the opposite.
I, no, we will hit Lion Entertainment.
Choi Dae-ho may not be able to imagine it at this point, but we have only just started playing the game.
I am the one who ends the game.
And I am someone who has been playing these games for a very long time and very well.
Not only in Korea, but also in the United States.

For Chris Edwards, meeting Han Sion in Korea was the most shocking thing since his success on Billboard.
It's not just because Han Si-on is good.
Of course, Han Si-on is good at it.
However, if there is no musician who is better than Han Si-on, of course, that is not the case.
Jankos Greenwood, living pop jazz.
The leader of punk, Lucid Bean.
Reggae musician Roots Robbie is called the next Bob Marley.
Relax, the most sophisticated treatment of electronic music in the world.
Eric Scott, the living guitar itself... ... .
There were many other people who surprised Chris Edward, and if those who had already died were included, Han Sion's ranking would have been lowered even further.
However, these people are artisans in one field.
These people have become legends by themselves as they delve into one genre endlessly.
In other words, rather than making music aimed at popularity, it would be more appropriate to say that the public was captivated by the music.
Even Eric Scott, who is Chris Edwards' favorite right now, wasn't a member of a top tier band during the rock era.
Rather, he was a guitarist whose true value was recognized in the waning days of the rock era.
However, Han Sion was a bit different.
At first, Chris Edward didn't know the difference between Han Sion and other musicians.
I just instinctively felt that something was different.
But we got to know each other as we spent time together.
Han Si-On is a person who knows how to create exactly what the public likes.
I didn't say it, but I was briefly overcome with jealousy when I heard <Crossroads>, an arrangement of Highway.
The moment I heard the first riff of the first verse, I thought, 'Ah, I should have done it like that.'
The reason why I think this is because Han Sion does not use difficult skills.
Just arrange the necessary notes to create the most pleasant sound.
However, any composer who has intentionally tried to create a hit song would know that this is more difficult than anything else in the world.
Hit songs are rarely created intentionally.
I just pour out my inspiration and the public likes it.
However, Han Si-on can intentionally create hit songs.
'How can that be?'
Chris Edward still couldn't understand Han Sion's abilities.
So, while working on a project with HBO, I tried to uncover Han Sion's secrets.
However, I received a call from Han Si-on.
Along with 8 tracks that were said to have been composed some time ago.
