No musicians in a couple formed?.. "It feels like watching a line"... [Wire Live] (Comprehensive)
[UD News=Lucy Yoon Reporter] 'Live Wire' gifted unforgettable 'musical memories' with the high-quality live performances of emotional vocalists.
On the 27th (Friday) broadcast of Mnet's 'Live Wire' episode 2, with MCs Jung Jae Hyung and Code Kunst, Im Jung Jin, Bolbbalgun Sa Chun Gi, Kim Kwang Jin, and NCT Doe Young participated, providing special musical experiences. This broadcast, featuring heartfelt conversations and emotional duet performances between senior and junior artists, resonated deeply with viewers, achieving a peak viewership rating of 1.2% (combined Mnet and tvN, based on AGB Nielsen paid households in the capital region).
In the opening, Code Kunst said, “I was nervous and excited during the first recording. It was amazing and touching that an unexpected meeting of artists took place, almost making me shed tears.” Jeong Jae-hyung also expressed his agreement, saying, “The sight of seniors and juniors, colleagues encouraging each other with their eyes was impressive. It was heartwarming and warm.” As the atmosphere heated up with candid conversations, Im June, the first performer, stepped forward and sang 'Episode,' capturing everyone's attention with his unique and distinctive voice. Code Kunst commented, “'Episode' is a popular song that quickly rose to the top of the music charts upon release. It seems easy to listen to, but it turns out to be a difficult song when actually singing it.” At this, Jeong Jae-hyung asked, “Who wrote it?” Im June replied, “I wrote it myself, so there’s no one to blame,” causing both MCs to burst into laughter. Then, Im June added, “I will share a condensed lecture on how to sing well right here,” and shared tips on singing, lifting the mood.
After this, Im Joo-jin pointed to Bolbbalgunsa-chunji as an artist he wanted to meet. Bolbbalgunsa-chunji appeared on stage with their hit song 'Travel' and immediately made their presence known. Im Joo-jin said, "There aren't many artists who turn their personal stories into melodic performances on stage, but Bolbbalgunsa-chunji has maintained their position over a long period of time, and they're becoming more and more impressive as musicians. It's so embarrassing to say this in front of you." He confessed his fandom. Seeing this, Jung Jae-hyung said, "It feels like we're playing matchmaker. We should be getting involved, but we have to keep things going." Code Kunst also added, "We should be stepping aside, but we have to keep the show running," adding a touch of humor to create a pinkish (?) atmosphere. In the midst of this, Bolbbalgunsa-chunji said, "I don't like the 'country girl' concept, but I brought some homemade liquor that my grandmother made, which I wanted to give to Mr. Im Joo-jin," and presented him with a bottle of mulberry wine, warming up the scene.
Following this, Im Joon said, "Among my songs, there is one that I think would be great to sing with Bolbbalgun Sa Chun Gi." He extended an invitation to them. The two sang 'Chongchun Manhwa' together, creating an all-time great duet performance, reaching the pinnacle of sweetness. Bolbbalgun Sa Chun Gi added to the aftertaste by saying, "I wish Im Joon would gift us a song."
Afterwards, Kim Kwang-jin, who was pointed out by Bolbbalgan4, appeared on stage singing their hit song 'Magic Castle'. He said, "It's been about 7 years since my last TV appearance. It's truly an honor to be with Bolbbalgan4. I recently watched Bolbbalgan4's video that surpassed 100 million views and thought it was amazing, so I really wanted to meet them." Bolbbalgan4 responded, "We also wanted to meet you after seeing your duet performance with senior Isora." Watching this, Jeong Jaehyung started, "But every time Mr. Kwang-jin speaks, his outfit..." Code Kunst then cut in, "It looks like he has put eyes of all the monsters from Magic Castle on his clothes," causing laughter. Recently, Kim Kwang-jin has been drawing attention with his dazzling outfits whenever he appears on stage. He explained, "The most common comment was about my 'punishment outfits,' and I even saw a comment saying 'If someone is using you, blink your left eye.' At first, I wondered if I could pull off such outfits, but now I find it fun and fans look forward to it." In a cheerful atmosphere, Bolbbalgan4 said they had a song they really wanted to do a duet of with the senior, and they performed 'As It Was First' together, delivering a fantastic live performance. Jeong Jaehyung exclaimed, "After hearing such a song, I just want to enjoy the afterglow without saying anything. It was that good."
Following Bolbbalgan4's surprising performance of ESP's 'Live My Life', the artist chosen by Kim Kwang-jin appeared on stage. With the hint 'Arangppang', Jeong Jae-hyung asked, "Is it a new type of bread?" This increased curiosity as NCT's Do Young made his entrance. Do Young sang 'Dallas Love Field' and encouraged the audience to sing along, heating up the atmosphere. Kim Kwang-jin commented, "He said he's been in a band since high school. An artist who continues the tradition of 90s acoustic musicians." He added, "We're from the same agency, and NCT Dream remade my song 'Dunk Shot,' so there seems to be a connection." Do Young expressed his surprise, saying, "I didn't think anyone would recognize me, but I was surprised when I was chosen."
Amidst this, Jung Jae-hyung was curious about the meaning of 'Aggungppang', and Do-yeong explained, "It's a V-shaped pose. It pulls up the cheek fat to make it look like a bun, and after doing it with fans, it became more popular as it resembled a bun." Code Koon-jeut added, "The origin of 'Aggungppang' is Do-yeong. Because of him, many people are now imitating it," which made everyone laugh. Later, Do-yeong learned the 'vocal cord management technique' from Kim Kwang-jin, who has maintained a youthful voice for a long time, while also candidly sharing his feelings about the burden and expectations he has while preparing a new album. Kim Kwang-jin shared his experience, saying, "In 2002, when my song 'Donggyeong Sonyeo' didn't get much of a reaction, I was so disappointed that I stopped making music and got a job. Looking back, I think I was too young. Even though I thought I was making good music, I was overwhelmed by the lack of response. But looking back, it wasn't true." Following this, Do-yeong said, "There's a song with deep lyrics that I want to sing with you," and performed a duet of Kim Kwang-jin's hit song 'Jinsim,' creating a sweet harmony. Finally, Do-yeong concluded with, "Today will be a day filled with many memories in various ways," adding to the lingering sentiment.
Meanwhile, 'Live Wire' goes beyond a simple stage to connect artists with artists, audience with audience, and the stage with viewers through 'music' as a medium, and it is broadcast simultaneously on Mnet and tvN every Friday at 7 PM.
