Hyung, aren’t I cute? Episode 339 (339/500)
A video was uploaded to SihaPepe’s channel.
This time, however, the video immediately showcased the completed artwork.
The penguin brothers are gazing at the star clusters in the night sky.
[Hello, this is SihaPepe.]
[Today’s painting is titled ‘Leg’.]
[Enjoy watching.]
Impatient viewers immediately commented, focusing on the final image.
-Isn’t the painting process shown today?
However, the painting gradually began to disappear, rendering those words irrelevant.
No, it wasn’t disappearing, but rather reverting to its initial state before the painting began.
In other words, the recorded video was being played in reverse.
Time was rewinding.
The star clusters vanished, and the black night sky transformed back into a blank white background.
Only a specific part remained.
Pepe’s body gradually faded away, leaving only the white background visible.
At that moment, the viewers realized what was happening.
-Wow! No! It was a different painting?
-No lol, it’s a leg???
-It’s a mannequin leg?!
-What is it? What is this??
-Wow. It was a photo. That leg shape.
And the scene changed.
From a rear view, only the back of the Pepe doll costume was visible as it painted the leg.
[Body Painting]
The caption appeared, and Pepe’s painting was gradually completed.
It was quickly filled in as if fast-forwarded and completed.
The camera only captured the artwork.
Then, with a click reminiscent of a Polaroid photo, it was preserved as a photo.
From then on, the painting process, initially shown in reverse, was replayed in normal chronological order.
[This is Pepe, the older and younger brother.]
[Thank you for watching.]
The completed painting was shown once again, and the video ended.
The comments section buzzed with admiration.
-Shout it out! SihaPepe!!
-Wow, I didn’t notice there was a leg until it started going in reverse.
-Well, it’s a photo after all.
-No, but the colors are different from what you’d use in a program, how didn’t you notice?
-You didn’t notice either.
-These days, programs are so good that you can make it similar. You can pick the color and paint it. It’s in the video, right?
-Wow, but does SihaPepe know how to do body painting?
-lololol, why is it so funny to see Pepe being drawn in body painting lololol
Everyone laughed at Siha’s persistence in drawing Pepe, even in body painting.
Even though he could draw a realistic penguin, he drew a character.
-I wondered what the title ‘Leg’ meant. I was embarrassed because there was only Pepe and no leg lol
-Me too lol
At that time, as always, an interpreter appeared, providing context and analysis.
With a long article.
[SihaPepe is really good at making videos.
Now, it seems like he’s showing what video aesthetics are beyond just painting.
And the title ‘Leg’ is a truly ambiguous expression.
The bond between the two penguin brothers.
The Milky Way in the sky.
Actually, the leg of a mannequin.
It is a work that combines the artist’s humor and warm intentions.
In particular, the pink and blue in the Milky Way may be a prejudice, but they may represent men and women.
Perhaps, seeing only the two brothers, they may be longing for their parents.
Perhaps they are seeing off the souls of their parents crossing the Milky Way in the sky.
SihaPepe’s paintings always make us feel warm.]
-Interpreter teacher, hㄷㄷ [Korean slang for being awestruck or impressed]
-I trust and follow you!!!
-Shout it out! SihaPepe!!
As always, the number of replies to the interpreter was the highest in the video.
***
At the daycare center, Siha was talking with Seungjun and Hana about their adventure at the art museum.
Specifically, what happened after the superpower game.
Siha was already recounting the events.
“Siha and Hyung did it like this.”
“Ooh!”
“Really?”
“Siha really found Hyung. Hyung was real.”
The twins listened with great interest to the story of how the pattern was erased, and they lost their powers.
Yeonju, who hadn’t been there with them, just tilted her head, not knowing what they were talking about.
Somehow, she was feeling left out.
Hana took Yeonju’s hand.
“We drew pictures on our bodies. Hana is a wizard who uses a staff, and Siha has a spider web drawn on him, so he can’t move. Oppa [older brother] uses electricity.”
“Ah, okay.”
“Let’s draw together next time, Yeonju. Hana will draw on you.”
“Thank you.”
The teacher listened to the children’s stories and approached them.
The day’s game had already been decided.
All games were always prepared, but the timing had to be right.
Today was that timing.
“Everyone! You drew pictures on your bodies?!
She acted as if she was hearing it for the first time, even though she had heard everything.
This was to let Jongsu’s group know as well.
“And you gained superpowers thanks to those drawings?!
At that time, Jongsu shook his head.
As if there was no way that could be true. In a way, he may lack innocence, but he’s subtly lacking in knowledge by 2%, so it’s easy to persuade him if you target that part well.
“Hey. Teacher. Where are superpowers?”
Seungjun protested at that.
“No, they exist! I defeat enemies with superpowers.”
“That only comes out in cartoons. It doesn’t actually exist.”
“Have you seen that it doesn’t exist?”
“How can you see something that doesn’t exist? Are you stupid?”
“You’re the stupid one.”
“No, I’m smarter than you.”
Clap. Clap.
The teacher clapped her hands and said she would show them superpowers.
She folded an A4 paper in half and stood it up.
Then, she rubbed both cheeks with her hands, added nose oil [a playful action to suggest she’s gathering energy], and waved her hand in the air.
Thump.
The A4 paper fell down as it was.
“Tada. It’s a superpower that creates wind.”
“Ehhhhh~”
But kids these days don’t fall for this.
Still, they set up A4 paper and create wind to try it themselves.
Anyway, she succeeded in diverting their interest.
“There are actually many things that demonstrate tremendous abilities like superpowers.”
“Ehh.”
“I’m serious. For example, makeup!”
“???
