Episode 498
< Nice to meet you > stage contest scene.
[Weekend Afternoon Fun! The stage of < Nice to meet you >, the collaboration of the century with stars, is about to begin!]
The MC read the standardized script based on many years of experience like flowing water. And from the audience, the audience-like response and applause poured out.
[The theme of this contest is ‘Millennial 2000’! The stage was decorated with the theme of the 2000s.]
[The cast members chose an artist of the genre they wanted to work with, and the collaboration was concluded. Please look forward to what kind of stage it will be.]
And the MC quickly explained the voting rules as well . .
Simple. If you liked the show, please press the button!
It was a clichéd story that is told every recording, but this time there were quite a few audience members who were hearing it for the first time.
‘I come to a place like this.’
‘Thank you, Jaehyun. I try to be filial by taking a backward step.’
They are all people who applied after hearing the news of Cheongryeo’s appearance. In other words, there were many fans of VTIC who were not existing viewers.
And that was also a double-edged sword in this contest.
If Chungryeo couldn’t show a stage worthy of winning first place, but if the audience voted for first place, that alone would cause controversy.
But the fans sitting there had little to worry about.
‘It’s Jaehyun, but what?’
It was a belief that became stronger the longer I spent as a fan.
VTIC, especially Cheong-ryo, never did anything disappointing.
[The special stage now begins.]
Finally, the 3rd theme contest of season 7 has begun.
Waaaah-
With polite cheers, singers and masters came out and performed.
Here, singers are mostly established singers who are highly preferred by middle-aged people.
It means that there was no male idol like VTIC.
‘oh.’
Since the field is so different, Cheongryeo’s fans also viewed it quite favorably without a check mentality.
‘Okay.’
‘Everyone is doing well.’
A pure evaluation is done honestly.
There were also quite a few unconventional stages.
The representative songs of popular musicals of the 2000s sung by vocalists and rappers of yesteryear had a taste that made you feel old and hip.
‘and!’
In particular, it was more relatable to VITC fans who were younger in age.
It was because I didn’t watch this program that much, so I didn’t know the standardized ‘eaten by the audience’ stage composition unique to the program, so it was fresh.
And it is to imagine the stage of Cheongryeo in its own way.
‘Who did Jaehyun do with?’
‘It would have been really cool if I had just done it with an opera singer.’
Occasionally, there were performances with singers due to insufficient casting of masters or because the pair did not match, but no one thought that Cheongryeo was like that.
‘Well, to do better than these people... ... .’
There were once or twice a stage where Jaehyun secretly worried that he shouldn’t make a mistake.
And after some time, the 6th stage.
order right before the end.
The MC finally opened the door he had been waiting for.
[The performers of this stage are... He is a global KPOP artist representing Korea. This is Cheongryeo from VTIC!]
Aaaaa!!
wow!
As soon as the word ‘global’ came out, the fans who noticed it were already cheering fervently.
And middle-aged people who are not necessarily fans also responded well. This is because everyone has heard the name of VTIC, whether in the news or on YouTube.
Expectations of famous celebrities!
Those gazes that measure how well you will do.
In the midst of that overflowing adrenaline, the MC continued the process by controlling the tempo.
[And the collaboration partner that Mr. Cheongryeo pointed out... .]
Brief steaming.
And when the curiosity of the audience reached its maximum.
A sound like thunder fell.
[National Idol! This is Testa’s main vocalist Park Moon-dae.]
“... ??”
“... ?!”
yes?
Contrary to the reaction of the middle-aged and middle-aged audience, who were like ‘Young idols do it~’, the young fans in the audience doubted their ears and screamed internally.
Why is Testa here... ?
‘Is it Cheongryeo?’
‘Hey Jaehyun Shin!’
There were fans who screamed that it would be better to be a recorder gifted kindergartener.
[Then let’s meet now! Collaboration start!]
The stage started with the MC shouting without even trying to catch up!
Lights come on on a dark stage.
“... ... !”
Fans reflexively held their breath and focused their eyes on the stage.
but... There were no singers.
In the outskirts, there is only one standing mic standing alone in the spotlight.
Woo-woo-woo
-woo, the sound of the wind rang briefly.
In the void, a familiar riff melody played on the piano filled the air.
A familiar accompaniment.
And the chorus in a minor key cuts through the quiet background sound.
-It snows in my winter, and
the cold and cozy warmth that
wraps around my cheeks
and you
.
enveloped my cheeks
because of the snow
in my winter .
-Yes you
And there, the note and the lyrics continue.
-You and me
in summer night,
Cheongryeo’s song that came in.
The two continued to sing the songs they sang alternately, as if they were singing parts of the same song.
-Don’t miss the opportunity
And at the end of the rising note, two huge spotlights come in the center of the stage.
And two people on the stage moved.
“... !”
The two who came to the center moved to the accompaniment of the build-up.
mirror choreography.
-Summer night
hot and ecstatic
(voices are heard)
Movements mix, lyrics mix with each other.
-My love is in winter
(in summer night)
Before we knew it, the two of us changed the song and sang it again naturally.
– Moments into eternity
(Eternal warmth of winter)
and the last verse.
-and you.
The performer looked at them and stopped the choreography.
And it brings the song up in harmony.
-Yes you!
You you u- uu umm umumm
The strings rang out loud.
And the choreography also reached the climax.
-Um umumm Um umumm um Umm...
The humming of the melodies of the two songs creates an exquisite harmony and falls.
And the two movements match like a mirror, creating a complex pair choreography.
A performance in which the legs are crossed, the upper bodies are bent, and each other’s shoulders are held together, like an acrobatics without an inch of error.
All those movements that seemed soft at first glance could only look elegant if you had the power to perfectly control your limbs.
In other words, it was an almost unrealistic sight to digest ‘humming’ live with a perfect pitch, not even making a high note while doing this movement.
‘and.’
“... ... .”
The gaze is fixed as if being sucked in.
A composition that can only be performed by a performer with an extremely high level of understanding and proficiency in the dance stage, that is, the KPOP stage.
‘ah... ... .’
So a few fans understood why Chung Ryeo chose Park Moon Dae.
‘I see.’
‘If I wanted to do something like this, I would have chosen an idol.’
However, there were misunderstandings.
In fact, it was impossible for Park Moon-dae to implement the choreography of this climax part alone with his current abilities.
However, with the amount of practice, I covered the short choreography of about 30 seconds so that I could copy and dance ‘just like the other person’.
Even more so, if the person who has been developing a method for effectively imprinting choreography on the members for several decades has put in one movement at a time.
For a moment, it is possible to reproduce nonsense.
And at the end of that ‘nonsense’ synchro rate, a short and sure high-pitched chord rises above the splendidly built-up accompaniment. -I
waited for
a hot and ecstatic moment, you know
catharsis!
-Wh-whewhewhe!
The stage that started in winter, with back to back facing the audience seats to the brass accompaniment, ends with a summer night.
thud!
“... ... .”
So the stage was over.
A composition that poured artistry suitable for this program into an idol-like stage frame.
that atmosphere!
And choreography like exquisite arrangements and live stunts.
It was the essence of the performance.
‘It was torn.’
‘crazy.’
Wow!!
Shouting cheers filled the audience.
It wasn’t a cheer from fans, it was a reaction to the stage.
[It was a really great stage!]
Even the MC’s comment was heard with sincerity.
Soon, the two people on the stage smiled and politely greeted the audience a few times before returning to their seats.
It was for voting, but in fact, the result was as if it had come out.
Fans already knew.
‘I can film this unconditionally.’
Even if it is aired, I will never criticize Cheongryeo for winning first place.
That confidence made the fans in the seat feel overwhelmed.
However, confusion and question marks remained in the minds of most of the fans who attended.
‘How did you do it with Moondae Park??’
‘What is that crazy selection?’
And those questions were soon to be satisfied.
This is because the process of forming a team between the two received a portion in the main broadcast on the weekend.
