Chapter 100: A Man's First Broadcast
Success can sometimes be accidental, but it's not just accidental.
======================
On Friday night, June 25, 2004, KBs' music variety show "Yoon Do-hyun's Love Letter".
Born in 1972 in Paju City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, Yoon Do-hyun joined the local singing group "Paper Kite" in 1992, and in 1994 Yoon Do-hyun released his first solo album "In Front of the Post Office in Autumn", after which Yoon Do-hyun served as the lead vocalist and guitarist Yoo Byung-yeol
, drummer Kim Jin-won, bassist Park Tae-seok and others formed the rock group "Yoon Do-hyun's band".
And the show "Yoon Do-hyun's Love Letter" is a musical variety talk show named after Yoon Do-hyun, or it should be said, a small concert similar to a fan meeting. The guests don't need to deal with all kinds of variety shows that are very strong in nature, and they don't need to show too much sense of variety shows. All you have to do is sing, and you'll naturally get applause. So this very relaxed music program is very popular with some musicians.
And on the evening of this day, Kim Jong Kook came. He sang two songs, the first song "Recall", and the second song was "A Man" created by Kang Jae-hee.
The song "A Man" appeared on TV for the first time, and the picture of Kim Jong Kook sitting there singing quietly matches the melody of the song. It shocked the hearts of countless people who watched it live and sat in front of the TV.
Men have a song to court, and women have an extra song to impress themselves.
That with a hint of a smile, a hint of melancholy. The picture of Kim Jong Kook sitting on the ground and singing has also been remembered by countless people.
Of course, the mainstream media will not report on a picture or a song in this TV station's nightly variety show. But netizens have commented on this show, this song, and this picture on the Internet.
A female netizen said: "This song is so good, if a man sings "A Man" in front of me and asks me for love, I will definitely not be able to hold it." ”
The reply was all a group of wolf friends shouting, "I sang this song very well!" Find a time and place, and I'll sing it to you. "People call me Kim Jong Kook the second." "I sing no worse than Kim Jong Kook!"
And then all sorts of demolitions, disdain, ridicule. Because this female netizen's avatar photo is very beautiful, and she is not a celebrity, in short, this post has been very hot.
Some other female netizens said, "Zhong Guo oPPa sings so handsome." Or something like, "The song is nice and it touched me." These comments.
The male netizen said, "The song is very good, you can sing it to your girlfriend in the future." Or, "I courted a girl with this song today, and she said yes!" Such a message.
There are also some defamatory posts, but Kim Jong Kook has always appeared as a beautiful man, so most female fans are not very fanatical, and men will not be jealous because of envy. (Just kidding, that voice, that body...... )
Anyway, for the first time, there was a song that became famous because of the show "Yoon Do-hyun's Love Letter".
At the same time, a singer can only have one song on an album. And now Kim Jong Kook's hit song is naturally the title song of this album "Feeling". So basically it can be said that the song "A Man" was almost unknown before this show.
In fact, the idea of sitting on the ground and singing was suggested by Kang Jae-hee. A few days ago, Kim Jong Kook called Kang Jae-hee and told him that he was going to be on this show and decided to sing "A Man", and Kang Jae-hee suggested sitting and singing this song when singing.
Of course, Kang Jae-hee couldn't decide to let Kim Jong Kook sing that song, but since he decided to sing this song, whether he sang it standing or sitting didn't matter in "Yoon Do-hyun's Love Letter".
Kim Jong Kook thought that Kang Jae-hee was asking him to sit on a stool and sing, but he didn't pay much attention.
And Kang Jae-hee also forgot that there is a stool that can make people sit......
And after the middle conversation, the chair was suddenly withdrawn, and Kim Jong Kook was stunned for a moment. I thought, 'I promised Jae-hee to sit and sing, but what about the stool!' Where is this sitting? ’
Kim Jong Kook, who was very righteous, felt that since he had promised the other party, he had to sit down, so he decided to sit on the ground. Since you decided to sit on the ground, you just sat at the front of the stage and sang close to the audience.
is so wrong, so that this song has received a great response.
Early the next morning (how can a workout freak get up late!) Kim Jong Kook called Kang Jae-hee.
"Ah, yesterday I wanted to sit and sing, but the stool was removed, and in order to complete what I promised you, I sat on the ground and sang." During this time, the frequent contact made Kim Jong Kook know that this songwriter, who is 11 years younger than him, is actually very informal. So he didn't think about anything in advance, and he said whatever came to his mind.
"That's right, I originally wanted you to sit on the ground and sing, how can you feel when you sit on a chair." Jiang Jae-hee, who hadn't woken up yet, replied in a daze.
"Ah, then why didn't you make it clear a few days ago, I always thought I was sitting on a stool and singing."
"Oh, I forgot there was a stool......"
“……”
“……”
"Why do you have to sit on the ground?" Kim Jong Kook, who was full of black lines, had to change the subject.
"Sitting on the ground is the only way to maximize the feeling of anticipation, confusion, decadence, and sadness. Sitting on a stool will feel much smaller. "Now Jiang Jae-hee is a little sober, otherwise this passage is probably incomplete.
"I'm so lucky." Kim Jong Kook lamented the coincidence of fate. "Are you still sleeping?"
"Yes, you don't have to go so early on the weekend, and it's okay to go to the company." Every Saturday is the day of the S.M Open Draft. Recently, he entrusted himself to Jin Chaohan, but on this day, Jin Chaohan will pay more attention to these young people who come to participate in the draft. Kang Jae-hee doesn't have to go so early. Arrive before 10 o'clock.
"Ah, what time is it, life is in motion. How can you sleep lazy at a young age! Kim Jong Kook is very concerned about this young and young brother who is a future musician for nearly a round.
"Brother...... It's only 7 o'clock ......," Kang Jae-hee said with some grief. He was forced by Yu Yongzhen to make another song these days, so he slept late at night.
"It's late at 7 o'clock, or you'll come and meet when you're okay in the future
Let's work out together. If you are in good health, you will be more relaxed after your debut. Kim Jong Kook felt that this younger brother was a little lazy.
"I'm exercising, but I was working last night so I slept late. Ah, let's do it first, brother, I'll hang up first, there's a phone coming in, and I'll contact you later. Kang Jae-hee hurriedly found an excuse to end the call.
Exercising with Kim Jong Kook? Is the devil a muscular man...... Thinking of the appearance of his muscles, Kang Jae-hee shuddered and suddenly sobered up.
Kang Jae-hee, who can't sleep, doesn't plan to lie in bed anymore. Now that you're up, pack up and go for a while.
Although Kang Jae-hee has also exercised recently, it is indeed much less frequent. People are always inert (not the author...... Although the body has not deteriorated, it can only be said to be maintained. Kang Jae-hee, who has no dance training, does exercise much less than Park Jung-so.
During this time, Kim Jong Kook has been singing with the title song "Feeling", but unfortunately he met one of the most popular songs of a group that was in full swing at that time.
In fact, Kim Jong Kook and the people in this group have always had a very good relationship.
This group is Gao Yaotai, and the song is "Sparks".
On March 26, 2004, the most successful remix group in Korean history, Ko Yoo-tae, released their sixth album, and the title song "Disco King" was soon changed to the follow-up song "Spark" to continue the chart. And when "Spark" was the hottest, Kim Jong Kook released the film.
Kim Jong Kook's second album's title track "Feeling" is a disco-style piece that was popular in the 70s and 80s, and the light-hearted melody is enough to make people forget all their worries and sorrows. But how can such a song be pleasing compared to one of the most classic songs of Ko Yoo-tae, who is recognized as the "King of Disco" by the Korean people and the music industry, and is known as the supreme Korean dance music?
Of course, since June 25th, everyone has at least recognized Kim Jong Kook's album. Many professionals in the music industry believe that Kim Jong Kook's album is a success.
It's just that no one thought that there was a song that would appear frequently in many variety shows in the second half of the year.
And the creator of this song is now looking at the five beautiful figures standing in a row in front of him.
