It's Lee Seung Chul here!
Good to see y'all♡
Today, he started off the show with his singing
Why is that?
JUST BECAUSE
Those staff dudes made me sing...
I've never seen anyone who holds the mic up here
Are you judging how I hold it?!
I just mean, I've never seen it before!
You know, old-time singers used to hold the mic like this
But if you do this now, you'll have tension in your neck
Just I just hold it up tight like this
You sing from your nostril?
This is what a nasal sound is
And
The position of the mic affects how it sounds
Wachu know 'bout this
[Just feel like giving a high-class lesson to a naughty girl]
Hurry, go ahead!
K, it was nice, oppa!
We made a looot of arguments from
Yeah, we did
But did you consider me your daughter?
Noooh wayyy
What are you talking about?!
You said you having fun around me tho!
Awww I like the you look like this!
[Please look forward to (Not a dad-daughter but) an uncle-nephew chemistry]
What a mess!
Q. Please introduce yourself in English!
Hi, nice to meet you :)
My name is Seung Cheol Lee *Fluent*
Uh.. um...
Let me just leave it at that....
*LMAOOO* Let me just leave it at that....
The viewers all get it! (Language is all about communicating)
So true! True! (Language is all about communicating)
Today, why did you decide to come out?
Are you promoting something?
Yesss
My new song is coming out
IN ENGLISH
To be honest...
To be honest... speaking is not my thing
*KOREAN STARRR*
I can't speak in English but can comprehend it tho... ;]
So, if you ask me in English, I can answer in Korean!
Ok, first off!
You didn't wear sunglasses!
Since I came here as a guest today, not a judge
I can show you my bare eyes
*Twinkle-eyed*
But I think he looks super cool wearing sunglasses
People can't recognize me unless I'm wearing sunglasses
I know

[How Jessi & Seung Chul met for the first time] When I first saw him from a long distance

[Legend Interview]
Now, this is a legend edition in hot minute after the first episode: Kim Young Chul
Surely all guests are legends
But in terms of his age...
*Gasps*
Gotta watch what I say
Why did you bring up the age?
Why do you bring up the age in this hottest show?
Because, it's very important!
What so important?
People want to know when you started music and how long you've been
(Do... do they?)
Anyway, let's dive into exploring the legend, Lee Seung Chul
Q. How long has it been since you've made a debut?
36 years
Why in English out of blue?
[Cuz I can answer it in Eng...]
36....
36.... Huhhhh?!
I'm 34!
I started music even before your parents met(?)
He's so well...
He's so well... aged(?)
*WELL-AGED*
In Korea, we say 'You grew old nicely'
I know, I just don't want to use the word 'old'
(She so cute)
Q. What made you start singing?
I became a singer just by accident
Back in high school, one day I went to the library
The owner of the library had a son
The owner of the library had a son, which is my friend
One day, he asked me if I knew what a group sound is
He was playing drum in the group sound and invited me over
So I went there just to see him There were all kinds of instruments; piano, guitar, and drum
But they had no one to sing!
That's because they had made an argument with the singer, so he quit
So they suggested me be the singer of the band
That's how I became a singer *Out of blue*
How old were you?
2nd grade in highschool
And as time went by, all other members quit the band to study but me
But I wanted to continue the music
From then on, I tagged along the senior group sound members in clubs
I ran their errands, and one day
It's the day the singer hyung had to leave for a reserve forces drill
They asked me to fill him in for a day
So I sang on the spot
From the day, I started singing in the club skipping class
In consequence, I joined the group sound in college
→ Participated in the Gangbyun Music Festival
And I happened to join 'Boohwal'
The Beginning of the legendary Lee Seung Chul - That's when my first album 'Hee-ya' came out
Verryy loNg StoRyy
Long & old at the same time...
LONG STORY
LONG STORY & G-OLD VOCAL
Are you happy now?
*Oww* I am!
Recently, I got an operation on my vocal cords
I had to stay without saying a word for a month
It occurred to me, "Who am I?"
I felt like "I'm nothing without music"
Since I have no other skills than singing
So I came to think "Indeed I was born to be a singer"
Do you understand?
Half of what you said
For some reason... it doesn't feel right...
Ok, then!
Q. How many songs you've released so far?
Guess how many for me as a 15-year singer?
Over a hundred
Then you prolly have 10 times of that...?
Not that much
*OH*
Surprisingly, I didn't release new albums every year
I did it once in a 3-year
So about 270 songs in total?
Out of all, the songs that you'll recognize as soon as you listen to
are about 70 of them
Ok, then we have to listen to it!
♪ Hee-ya ♪
♪ Look at me for a bit ♪

[35-year remarks interview]
So today's concept is like busking! [Begin Again]
What are you promoting?
What are you promoting? Your voice?
*Dumbfounded*
You think I'm here to promote my voice...?
I mean, since you had a long hiatus
It's my 36th anniversary this year as a singer
Last year, I started to work on a project album to commemorate my 35th anniversary
Where I collaborate with the singers of younger generation
Last year, I collaborated with Taeyeon for 'My Love'
This year, I worked on 'We were' with Chan Hyeok of AKMU
And afterwards with IU
And afterwards with IU... I wish...
I wish with RM
And with Jessi as well
I knew he would mention me lol
I'll be a lil different if I get to collaborate with you
I'll be the one who directs
*Nope* You're the one who writes the song
AH.. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS...?
So the younger generation leads the way
Oooh, that's quite a new thing
Exactly!
So this new song called 'We were' produced by Chan Hyeok of AKMU
is being squeezed very well(?)
Ok, then le us enjoy the song 'We were' first!
Produced & Written by ChanHyeok of AKMU
♪ If it’s a promise that can’t be kept ♪
♪ Let’s not make it ♪
♪ I’m even tired of tears coming out ♪
♪ We were not meant to be ♪
♪ We were not ♪
♪ What we can’t forget are the memories ♪
♪ Not each other ♪
♪ What we must endure is this break up ♪
♪ Not each other ♪
♪ We were, we were, we were ♪
♪ We were in love ♪
"As soon as I saw the lyrics by Chan Hyeok, I felt something surged up in me so much that I couldn't start recording for 2 months"
♪ As we were losing everything ♪
♪ We were in love ♪
*So touched*
Oh, gosh what can I...
Oh, gosh what can I... OH MY GAWWWD
You're so goood ♡
(Pfft)
Welcome, first time to this kind of reaction?
[Went speechless(?) from the impression]
*Patting-butt*
(I knew Jessi's MY STYLE)
I literally got goose bump while reading the lyrics
Maybe I got hurt ;[
It says what we can’t forget are the memories, not each other
AAaawwwWwwwW 😭😭😭
♪ What we can’t forget are the memories ♪
(Gazing) ♪ Not each other ♪
Stop looking at me!
Jessi's gonna cry... 😭
I mean, what really impresses me is
I can relate to the sorrow from breakup...
When I first listened to this song,
It took me as long as 2 months to start recording
We all have experienced the love that doesn't work out
I think this lyrics demonstrates the emotions and feelings so well without exaggerating, which makes listeners relate to it
I don't usually record a same line more that 5 times
I've had 200 times of recording this time
(Wow)
So I tried to express all the emotions included in the words
I mean, look how sleek(?) his voice is
Please make sure to check out 'We were' by Lee Seung Chul with sleek(?) voice!
[Evil-tongued interview]
Okay!
Poisoning(?) Interview!
Do you know what that is?
'Poisoning' means you kill someone lol
Oops, 'Evil tongue' interview!
Who are you?
What Jessi saw is...?
An unidentified man walking into the studio
I'm here to judged by Lee Seung Chul nim
I'm the maknae PD Kim Ji Hoon (26) / Ordered by the main PD
(What's goind on...) / Nice to meet you!
Oh, like
- Where are you from?
- I'm from Dobong-gu, Seoul
I know how it feels... it's rly...
I WAS ABOUT TO PEE ON MA PANTS!
(Nervous)
What are you gonna show us today?
Out of my respect for you...
I got 'My Love' by you
(Ma song?)
What would his singing skill be like...?
♪ I’ll tightly hug you and then I’ll tell you ♪
♪ I’ll shout out ♪
♪ I’ll shout out your naaaaammme ♪
(Hard to hide her laughter) ♪ My love ♪
♪ You won’t be able to hear when I say I love ♪

*Cut* K, that's all
But! This guy is..!
(What are you saying...)
Not so bad!
(Gotta change the job?)
But you know what?
I've seen people shaking their voices
But never seen someone shaking his eyebrows lol
How detailed this evil tongue is lol
※ Pay attention to his eyes ※
(Shivering) ※ Pay attention to his eyes ※
The first eyebrow vibration in the world(?)
(So funny lolol) They usually shake their voice!
Follwing Hip Hop President, Stomach President, here comes 'EYE BROW PRESIDENT'
What commentary would you give, Seung Chul the judge?
*Relentless* Glad you are a PD
[Overall review: Keep up what you do]
[Quickly exits]
But he's got the point!
Glad he's a PD!
What a flawless commentary!
But when that maknae gets promoted, no one knows how he'll get back at us(?)
Oh is that...?
*Bows*
These judges all know how it works in this industry(?)
By the way, you were the evil tongue of the Super Start K, weren't you?
But back then, it was the very first audition program on TV in Korea
So we had about 2 millions of contestants every season
Which means, we had to judge an enormously wide range of contestants
So not just as a judge, but as a mentor in life, I just wanted to give them proper advice
Plus, the editing made it even worse tho...
Then out of all, what was the...
Q. What was one biting remark that sticks in your mind?
I was young back then so...
"Your singing sucks(?)"
*What a relentless criticism*
But what makes me feel sorry about is
There was this contestant named 'Jang Won Ki'
He was right around the corner of the semi-final
Where he would receive a car as a prize
And his child was rooting for him hard saying "Good luck, daddy! You'll get the car!"
But without knowing that, I got to eliminate him
I felt so sorry, so I had him as a guest singer to my concert for a whole year
Oh, he's so cool tho!
Heyy anyway
Heyy anyway it's a competition, ok?
So you had no other choice back then
Ok, since you are on Show!terview, show your biting remarks on the pictures you'll see as an evil tongue
First off!
Welcome!
★Ta-da☆
[Welcome, is this your first time to recall like this?]
*Explaining the situation* The contestants had to stop by my green room
*Explaining the situation*
Uh.. welcome!
First time to the green room?
How this legendary meme was born
(Embarrassed) This one went viral for long... as a megahit meme
Go ahead with biting words to yourself!
SUCH AN ASS(?)!
Let me see!
*Past liquidation*
NooOoooOoH
I was planning to take it home
What an unpredictable taste she has...
The next one not really savage tho
(Burning eyes)
That's when I like the contestant!
When I like the one, I half way take off the sunglasses to check the face
(Hawk-eye) When I like the one, I half way take off the sunglasses to check the face
⭐Prospective-star scanner⭐
It reminds me of someone...
Like, KCM...?
KCM....?
Oh my god, yesss!
(Eyes) (Burning) Spotted your missing bro with burning eyes
IT'S ANOTHER ASS(?)
*LOLOL* Automatic biting remarks at the memes...
But I don't it's too bad tho
Let's move onto the last one!
Oh my gawwd! Is this him?
*Pffft*
[Release the relic]
(Young and fresh) I was 25-ish
This is my first film that I appeared on
This film was directed by
This film was directed by Park Chan Wook
The Park Chan Wook of 'Old Boy'?!!
Did it go well?
It set a new record!
On the very first day of its release, people lined up all the way to the another district!
FOR REAL?
And it became a total flop on the next day lolol
This is just a 'shut da faq' too
Director Park Chan Wook hates to mention this film
Just get rid of it [Something miraculous like a movie would happen tho..]
[God of Communication Interview]
Q. Do you think you are a good communicator with fans?
OF COURSE!
My fan club is the second oldest one in Korea *Long-lived fandom*
Do you still talk to them online?
More than online, we used to have an off-line gathering before Covid19
So we met for as many as
So we met for as many as 9 TIMES in a year!
Spring Sports Festival, Summer camp
Autumn Sports Festival, Ski camp...
NEVER ENDING GATHERING STORY
But the problem is,
the president of the club is...
Far-sighted due to old age...
*OOPS*
So we have a meeting with magnifying glasses
Lee Seung Chul & his fans have been growing old(?) together
So, your nickname is:
The God of communication
So now, we're gonna explore the God of communication, Lee Seung Chul's social media pages
This is...
This is... Seung Chul's
This is... Seung Chul's instagram
This is just like my uncle's
Is this really an IG feed of the King of the singer?
Nothing is about music here!
Oh, there is one!
[Description box] I'm the singer, Lee Seung Chul
With a mic emoji!
The least thing I had to!
Without it, I would look like Park Myeong Soo(?)
Just added the mic emoji to avoid any misunderstanding...
NoOooOooh
Typically, people in their 40s, 50s do the instagram like this...
*Typical IG of the middle-aged*
We usually take some Mukbang pics
(Full of food)
(Orphan father) Now that I'm an orphan father,
IG quirk 1. Typical eating-alone pic of an orphan father(?)
Sometimes, when I get a great result from a sports game
IG quirk 2. Showing off my good score♥
*Phahahah* (He so cute lol)
And when I found a nice scarf(?)
IG quirk 3. Low-key exposure of my great taste in clothes
So cute~♡
Now you're looking at the IG of Lee Seung Chul, the
Plus, just in case my wife examines(?) my feed to see how I'm doing
IG quirk 4. Pic of me working out alone in lonely vibe
(Flowers & trees) Plus, when ladies found these pics, they would assume
'This gentleman cares about nature!'
[Environment-friendly(?) man in this era]
Not so bad!
He explained it so well! [He got his feed planned(?)]
So, for you to learn what a trendy IG feed looks like, I got mine here
Woah! / (Curios)
Look at thessee~*
So, the point is!
You gotta catch what people wanna know about you
Like, fashion, choreography and something sexy...
Are you sure....
Are you sure.... my dancing would work?
Look!
It happened(?) due to the COVID-19
I'm also in the age of COVID-19!
Same age, different vibe
- You are the digital(?) tho! - What are you talkin...
*Bickering* - You are in online! I'm off-line!
You're the online gen tho! [On/off-line Gen War for some reason]
*Salty* What's dat...
I mean I'm jealous of you!
Let me show you how these Gen-Zs communicate with each other
I'm a poor selfie taker!
HE INDEED SUCK AT IT!
[Statement from the victim] Back in Cap-teen, he used to be like this!
(Lee Seung Chul) 'Jessi, let's take a selfie'
*Angle of the another universe*
Cuz I have far-sighted eyes...
It's due to my age...
Anywho, what's trending these days is: Selfies with putting filters on em
Nah mean?
But I can't do like...
(Making a fuss)
How can I do this at this age...?
Let me save it to my gallery!
[If you gotta save it, I'll gotta be like this]
Next chapter!
[FACE SWAP]
Our faces got swapped! / (So funny lol)
This new technology even touches Jessi...
[Let's do it again] - Wow, it's new! - You gotta face here!
(Combination completed)
JESSICA LEE & HO SEUNG CHUL
Even the screen got shook this bad...
Now I got why my daughter giggled at her phone all day long
Now you are witnessing the great union of two different generations
OH MY GAWWWD
[I'll be the singer who connects different generations for over 60 years -Lee Seung Chul-]
[Post-credit scene]
How was it today, oppa?
Was really fun!
Felt like I found a whole new world
Actually, we usually are more savage(?)
Verryy free!
But today, since you are a legend and way older than me
I couldn't go crazy as I usually do
Aye...
That was crazy(?) enough!
The Story Only I Didn’t Know...
(JK lol)
Anyway, thanks for coming today
Didn't you come to promote anything?
Didn't you come to promote anything? Just your voice?
*Da heck* I sang the new song right before!
(Dizzy) Ah, was that a new one?!?
'We were' is the new one! lol
(Frozen)
Fr? (The Story Only I Didn’t Know...)
(So cute lolol)
I loved it soo much~♡
Means, she loved it so much as she even forgot listening to it
And what's more!
It's his (35th X) 36th anniversary!
He's been in the music industry for over 36 years [The legendary King of Singing]
Congrats! / Thanks
And I hope you for a long, long time... do music
Though you're gonna say 'Live long, sir'
A bit soon(?) to pray long life...
(Healthy moonwalk) I gotta go now, bye!
