“Hyung, aren’t I cute?” Episode 286 (286/500)
Hana exclaimed with admiration.
“Wow. Su-hyeon unnie sings so well.”
“Frog noona is good.”
I knew Seo Su-hyeon was a good singer, but hearing her like this feels different.
Do I really need to sing?
I painstakingly adjusted the song to my key, but it feels like such a waste.
I can’t help but wonder if I’ll be compared.
“I’ll try it one more time.”
Sitting with the kids and watching them record feels like listening to a one-hour loop on YouTube.
Of course, I can’t sing like that with just my voice.
As the song ended, Seo Su-hyeon came out and winked.
“Now it’s oppa’s turn.”
“Is there something in your eye? Why are you winking?”
“…….”
“Just kidding.”
“You really tease me whenever you get the chance.”
“Pfft.”
“Be prepared. I’m a very picky producer today.”
“Whatever. I’m only recording once and then I’m done. You know that?”
“Know what?”
“I’m not a perfectionist when it comes to singing. I become very lenient.”
“Don’t do that, we’re uploading it.”
I shrugged and went into the recording booth.
I stood in front of the microphone and put on the headphones.
Siha cheers me on, saying, ‘Hyung, fighting!’ Why are you even saying ‘fighting’ for something like this?
I’m just planning to sing with a light heart.
I think the recording will be over in two or three takes.
“The camera is rolling too.”
“Do we really have to film the video?”
“Of course, we won’t upload it, but we’re just filming it as a memento.”
I cleared my throat and spoke into the microphone.
“Ah, ah.”
The sound is good, and the volume seems okay.
“Let’s start.”
The lyrical song that Seo Su-hyeon made begins to play.
The intro was made long, so I had to wait a bit.
If it were a typical pop song, making the intro long would be a no-go, but since this is music to be put in a video, it seems like she made it that way on purpose.
Because subtitles have to be added when introducing it for the first time.
It would be very strange if the song suddenly started and the lyrics appeared, right?
People would be confused too.
And when I thought about the length of the video, it was better to be long.
Seo Su-hyeon times the song for me.
Just like a karaoke machine.
She spreads her fingers wide and mouths the words.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
“When the world is deceived by lies~”
I felt like I entered on the beat perfectly.
I felt embarrassed when the words I wrote flowed out as lyrics.
How should I put it? It’s like I’m writing down what’s inside me and then presenting my diary in front of others.
“Get into the emotion!”
I can’t hear her voice, but that’s what Seo Su-hyeon’s mouth says.
Is it obvious?
Anyway, I focused and sang again.
“Let’s go again. Again! Again!”
“Let’s take a break.”
I took off my headphones and came out.
Siha ran over with sparkling eyes, holding a bottle of water.
“Hyung! Drink water!”
“Oh! Thanks.”
“You have to drink water after singing. That’s what I did at karaoke.”
You’ve only been there once, but you know it so well.
It’s the rule to bring drinks into the karaoke room!
“Hyung. Cool. You sing well.”
“Si-hyeok hyung. You’re really good at everything.”
“Si-hyeoki oppa has a great voice.”
I don’t know what to do with all the compliments from the kids. Anyone would think a singer sang it.
Yeah. It’s like getting a 95 on a karaoke machine and getting the reaction, ‘You have the skills to be a singer!’
The score is generously given.
“Thanks, kids. It looks like it’ll be over soon, so you guys warm up your voices too.”
“Hyung. How do you warm up your voice?”
“Huh? Frog noona will tell you.”
“Really?!”
“It’s only natural to show you a very special way to warm up your voice when you sing.”
The kids looked at Seo Su-hyeon as if to ask if that was true.
An ambiguous expression.
“This oppa, really.”
I think I’m sweating on my back?
“Su-hyeon, are you going to betray the children’s expectations? You’re Frog noona.”
“What is Frog noona anyway! What is it!”
Seo Su-hyeon looked at the children’s expectant eyes and cleared her throat, ‘Ahem.’
I quietly picked up the camera.
This will be fun too. Hey Seo Su-hyeon, I’m giving you a YouTube angle. You’re welcome.
“Ah, oppa. What are you doing!”
“YouTube angle. YouTube angle.”
“Ah, really.”
She’s grumbling, but she doesn’t seem to hate it, so she doesn’t stop me.
“You’ve really become a self-made frog? Ah! I was thinking that in my head.”
“Don’t lie.”
“Speaking informally?”
“…Yo.”
Seo Su-hyeon looked at the children again.
First, she made eye contact with Siha.
“Okay! I’ll teach you how to warm up your voice in Siha’s version.”
“What is it?”
“What Siha just said. Okay! Let’s follow along. Moya moya moyam~”
The kids seemed to enjoy it, stretching out their voices, ‘Moya moya moyam~’
The kids were really cute.
“Okay. One more time, moya moya moyam~”
“Moya moya moyam~”
While they were warming up their voices, Seung-jun was jealous of Siha’s voice warm-up and asked if there was one for him.
“Su-hyeon noona. What about mine?”
“Huh?”
“Isn’t there a Seung-jun version of voice warm-up?”
“Hana too. Hana too!”
I’m going to have to make one for everyone.
Seo Su-hyeon thought seriously.
“Seung-jun likes soccer, so there’s a perfect one for him.”
I quietly muttered in front of the camera.
“You are now watching Shu Channel’s scam. It’s cute and pitiful to see the kids being tricked.”
Seo Su-hyeon said.
“Mesh mesh mesh! Mesh mesh mesh!”
“Puhaha. Su-hyeon noona is funny.”
“Ah ah! Frog noona is fun!”
“Kids. This is important. It’s good for loosening your muscles as your mouth opens in an ‘e’ shape.”
It was a plausible logic. Of course, I don’t know if it’s actually true.
“Hana? Hana?”
“Hmm. Hana, well. Nya~ong~ like this, clenching your fists. Nya~ong~”
The three of them clenched their fists and imitated cat sounds.
Seo Su-hyeon slumped down in her seat and covered her face with both hands.
Suddenly, she seems to be feeling a sense of shame.
“Hyung. Siha heard the meow sound.”
“Huh? Meow. Meow, right?”
“No. Say, ‘Yam-ma. Yam-ma.'”
“???”
That’s not the cat sound I know? It’s not cute, it’s too arrogant.
But Seo Su-hyeon is sitting down and saying, ‘Yam-ma. Yam-ma.’ so something is…….
Anyway, Siha didn’t have any bad intentions.
***
My song recording is over.
Seo Su-hyeon said that the song work is not finished yet, but I don’t know much about that, so I’ll just leave it to her.
“Then, should Siha go in last and we all sing a song together and finish?”
“Ah ah!”
Hana and Seung-jun had already finished recording and listened to what they sang.
Now only Siha is left.
“Siha, do well.”
“Hyung. Siha knows everything.”
She always says she knows everything.
Anyway, she’s cute.
The song Siha will sing today is not a song made by Seo Su-hyeon. Because she couldn’t memorize all the lyrics.
Instead, she sang her favorite song.
“Rice cake. Rice cake. Put in the rice cake~”
It was originally a seed song, but it was transformed into a rice cake soup song.
I can’t believe a song made for fun is being recorded like this. It’s a success.
“The sprouts have sprouted~”
The rice cake soup song with self-generated green onions. It’s really amazing.
Seung-jun next to me is sticking out his stomach with a proud expression.
You were the culprit behind these lyrics…….
Even though Lunar New Year has passed, you’re still singing about rice cake soup. I should make Siha some rice cake ramen later.
“All done!”
“Then Siha, would you like to hear your voice?”
“I want to!”
Siha’s recorded voice came out through the headphones.
Siha’s eyes widened as if she was amazed.
“Hyung. It’s not Siha’s voice.”
“No. It’s your voice.”
“No. No. It’s different.”
Originally, the voice you make and the recorded voice are different.
What do they say? They said it’s different because you can hear the voice ringing inside you?
Anyway, Siha’s voice that someone else hears is correct.
But Siha seems to be confused by the voice that is not her own.
It seems similar, but unfamiliar!
I know. I know. I know that feeling.
“Is it Siha’s voice?”
“Yes. It’s your voice. Listen carefully.”
“Ah ah! Right! It’s saying, ‘All done!'”
“That was recorded too?!”
It seemed that the last ‘All done!’ was the evidence that it was my voice.
“Hyung. It’s amazing. Siha’s voice.”
“Originally, the voice you hear and the voice that other people hear are a little different.”
“Why?”
“Voices also have secrets. It’s a secret so only Siha can hear it.”
“!!!”
Siha grabbed her neck with her hand.
“Voice. Is it not a secret only to Siha? Is it a secret to hyung too?”
“Pfft.”
Are you starting to talk to your neck now?
“Hyung. Siha will tell you a secret. Ear! Ear!”
“It’ll be the same even if you say it in my ear?”
“No. It’s different.”
I squatted down and put my ear to Siha.
Siha puts her hands together and says.
“Moya moya moyam.”
Isn’t that Siha’s voice warm-up method?
“Hyung. Did you hear it?”
“Yeah. I heard it, but.”
“I warmed up my voice so Siha’s voice came out too.”
“???”
Is that how it works?
Was that what warming up your voice meant?
Anyway, children’s imaginations are unpredictable.
***
A video was uploaded to the [Shu] channel.
Subscribers have two expectations: Will a bizarre piece come out today? Or will a masterpiece come out?
It’s natural to be curious because it’s a YouTuber who uploads various things.
Singing a song directly.
Or just a fun video.
Or just uploading background music that you can listen to comfortably while studying or before going to sleep.
In fact, background music gets a decent number of views.
This is because it doesn’t really have a strong preference.
[I tried teaching voice warm-ups to kindergarten children.]
Looking at the title alone, it was just an ordinary video.
The children’s faces don’t appear, only their voices are heard.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Moya moya moyam, he acts like he made itㅋㅋㅋ
-앜ㅋㅋ That’s **Entertainment’s voice warm-up methodㅋㅋ
-The children’s voices are so cuteㅠㅠㅠ
-But why don’t their faces show up.
-Maybe it’s because of the revenue? Are you afraid YouTube will block it?
-As expected, a self-made frog…….
Next, he taught voice warm-ups for Seung-jun.
-Mesh mesh mesh what is thatㅋㅋㅋI burst out laughingㅋㅋㅋ
-Isn’t that a voice warm-up from another worldㅋㅋㅋ
-And the kids are doing it seriously…. They’re even having funㅋㅋㅋ
-Cuteㅋㅋㅋ
The video’s reaction was quite good.
Next is Seo Su-hyeon making cat sounds.
-Sitting down in shameㅋㅋㅋ
-Shu’s cat imitation. This is precious.
-But who is the person filming the cameraman? He says he’s watching a scamㅋㅋㅋ
-Shu leader. Teach me how to warm up my voice properlyㅋㅋㅋ
-He’s pointing at something weirdㅋㅋㅋ
The last killing point was Siha talking to hyung.
[Yam-ma. Yam-ma.]
-???
-That’s not the cat sound I knowㅋㅋㅋ
-Didn’t Shu leader say yam-ma yam-ma out of shame?
-It’s so funnyㅋㅋㅋ
-The kids’ faces don’t even show up, but the chemistry is crazyㅋㅋㅋ What are you listening to so intentlyㅋㅋㅋ
And the last black background came out and introduced the subtitles for the video to be uploaded soon.
[New song: Spring has come.]
[Composed by: Shu, Lyrics by: Sihapepe, Sung by: Shu.]
[Supported by Sihapepe as BGM.]
[Coming soon.]
The video ended.
And a few hours later, Seo Su-hyeon turned on a streaming broadcast.
The title was [Spoiler Video].
“Yes. Hello. Shu Channel viewers. Shu-ssi has created a new song this time. Sihapepe writer-nim helped with that.”
Seo Su-hyeon cleared her throat.
“I’m not supposed to reveal this, but I, Shu-ssi’s editor, am going to tell you a little bit. Ah! Come to think of it, I haven’t revealed my name.”
Seo Su-hyeon wrote her name on a small whiteboard with a board marker.
[Editor Shu Cream.]
“Yes. I’m Editor Shu Cream. I’m a different person from Shu.”
-???
-Isn’t Shu leader too shameless.
-Good actingㅋㅋㅋ
-Shu Cream…. Isn’t that too carelessly made…….
-What? Are you all Shu-ssi?
“I’ve heard that I look a lot like Shu-ssi, but I guess it’s because I’m an editor.”
-YouTubers and editors look alike. Is that it?
“I’ve been supporting Sihapepe writer-nim with songs these days, and this time I was inspired and supported again. Let’s listen to that song.”
Put on the earphones.
The subtitle [Listening to song] appears.
“Oh! What should I say? An oriental feeling? And hmm. It’s so sad. But it feels like a bit of a happy ending at the end? No. It feels like there’s a lingering feeling? Wow! But Shu-ssi’s voice is so good.”
-Shu leader has become very shamelessㅋㅋㅋ
-Self-made frogㅋㅋㅋ
-He says his own voice is good?!”
“Everyone, I’m Shu Cream. Wow! But the song is wow! Everyone, you can look forward to it. This is really not a bizarre piece, but a masterpiece.”
-ㅋㅋㅋA part you can look forward to?ㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah, am I being tricked again?
-It’s not the turn for a bizarre piece this time.
-It’s like a seesaw, but he’s tricked me with a seesaw seesaw seesaw beforeㅋㅋㅋ
“That’s what Shu-ssi tricked you with. I, Shu Cream, saw it while editing. I never trick you. I am always truthful.”
That’s how Seo Su-hyeon created the atmosphere and spoiled the song.
And the next day.
A video was uploaded to the Sihapepe channel.
