COVER STORY(5) <광화문 연가> 양요섭


100퍼센트의 청춘



양 요섭이 처음 세종문화회관이라는 위용 넘치는 극장에 발을 들였던 것은, 예전 소속사 엠보트의 선배 윤형렬이 콰지모도 역으로 출연하는 <노트르담 드 파리>를 보기 위해서였다. 늘 봐왔던 형이 전혀 다른 모습으로 무대를 채우는 것에 경탄하면서도 나도 저런 걸 하고 싶다는 생각은 없었다. 그저 좋은 곡이 많으니까 나중에 불러봐야겠다 생각했던, 노래밖에 모르던 소년은 불과 몇 년 후 바로 그 무대에 뮤지컬 배우로 서게 되었다.



이 름 앞에 소속 그룹명이 붙는 아이돌이 <광화문 연가>에 캐스팅되었다는 사실이 의외라고 생각하는 이들도 비스트의 양요섭이라는 이름에 어느 정도 납득을 하는 분위기가 될 수 있었던 것은 ‘노래 잘하는 아이돌’이라는 인식 때문이었을 것이다. 하지만 아직 젊다기보다는 어리다는 표현이 더 어울릴 법한 1990년생, <광화문 연가>의 정서와는 거리가 있을 법한 세대인 데다가 이제 갓 미성년자 꼬리표를 뗀 그에게 프로듀서 지용 역은 쉽지 않은 과제가 아닐까. “음 반을 만드는 작업을 해본 경험이 있다는 게 지용이라는 캐릭터를 보여주는 데 도움이 되지 않을까 싶어요. 제가 예전에 엠보트에 있을 때 먼데이 콘서트라는 공연을 정기적으로 했는데, 그때 이문세 선배님의 곡들을 부르면서 처음 이영훈 작곡가님의 음악을 접했어요. 사실 고등학교 때 밴드를 해서 그 전까지는 록이나 팝 음악 위주로 많이 들어서 예전 가요를 잘 몰랐어요. 그런데 이영훈 작곡가님의 곡들은 일렉 위주인 요즘 음악과 다르게 클래식 기타, 피아노로 소박하게 만들어졌더라고요. 사운드적인 면에서는 지금 기준으로는 좀 올드하다고 느낄 수 있는데도 곡 자체의 감정이 진실하게 와 닿는 게 참 좋았어요.”


아이돌 가수들의 뮤지컬 무대 진출에 대해 불만이 쌓여있는 마니아들의 의심에 찬 시선에 위축되지는 않을까, 심술궂은 의문이 생겼다. “사실 저희가 데뷔를 할 때도 안 좋게 보는 시선이 많았어요. 다른 그룹을 따라한다는 비난도 많이 들었고, 그래서 처음에는 방송국에 가는 게 좀 무서울 때도 있었어요. 그런데 막상 무대에 올라가서 저희의 모습을 최선을 다해서 보여드리니까 그런 편견을 가지고 계셨던 분들이 오히려 더 응원을 해주시더라고요. 뮤지컬도 똑같을 것 같아요. 아이돌이 뮤지컬을 하는 것에 대해 안 좋아하시는 분들도 계시겠지만, 제가 보여드릴 수 있는 또 다른 매력이 있다면, 다르게 봐주실 거라고 믿어요. 그래서 그런 부정적인 시선이 무섭다고 생각하지는 않아요.”


이 츠학을 연기했던 김영지와의 인연으로 보게 된 <헤드윅>이 무척 멋있어서, 지금 당장은 어렵겠지만 언젠가는 그 작품을 할 수 있었으면 좋겠다는 예상 밖의 꿈을 이야기하는 이 ‘아이돌’은 <광화문 연가>의 넘버 중에서 자신에게 가장 의미가 있는 곡으로 먼데이 콘서트에서 부르면서 반해버렸던 ‘난 아직 모르잖아요’나 ‘깊은 밤을 날아서’가 아니라, ‘가을이 오면’을 손꼽았다. “제작 발표회 때 그 곡을 불렀는데요. 그때 만큼 무대에서 떨어본 적은 거의 없었어요. 지금도 그 곡을 들으면 제작 발표회 때의 분위기가 생생하게 느껴지면서 떨려 와요. 그 느낌을 생각하면 정말 잘하고 싶어요.” 무조건 나를 편들어줄 것 같고, 내가 잘되기만을 바라는 팬들이 아니라 얼마든지 냉정하고 신랄한 반응을 쏟아낼 수 있는 일반 관객들 앞에 서는 부담은 결코 적지 않을 것이다. “처 음 리딩을 갔을 때 이지나 선생님께서 좋은 말씀을 해주셨어요. 정말 다정한 말씀이었는데, 오히려 그런 부드러운 이야기가 화내는 것보다 더 무서울 때가 있잖아요. 이제 본격적으로 단체 연습에 들어가면 한번 호되게 혼나봐야 할 것 같아요. 물론 혼날 때는 무섭고 힘들겠지만, 아직까지 제가 뮤지컬에 대해서 잘 모르니까, 그렇게 배우고 싶어요.” 잠 잘 시간은 없어도 꿈 꿀 시간은 충분한 청춘다운 말이었다.

COVER STORY(5) Yang Yoseob

100% of youth

The first time Yang Yoseob entered Sejong Cultural Center was to watch his ex-agency Mboat's sunbaenim Yoon Hyungryul acting in as Quassimodo. Even though he was in awe with his hyung filling up the stage with totally different appearace, he had no thought of doing what his hyung was doing. He just thought he would try singing the songs because there were so many good songs in the musical. He was a boy who only knew singing, but after only a few years, he stood on the stage as a musical actor.

Even though people thinks it's unique that an idol was casted in , the atmosphere is approving because BEAST Yang Yoseob is known as 'idol who sings well'. But instead of the word 'young', the word 'little' suits better for him who was born on 1990. We predict that his role as Jiyong is a big project for him because his generation is far from the feelings of and it's not been long since he became an adult. "I think my experience of working on a album will help me act out the character, Jiyong. When I was in Mboat long time ago, we regularly held a Monday Concert. I became aware of the songs of composer Lee Younghoon-nim when I sang Lee Moonse sunbaenim's songs at the concert. To tell the truth, I listened to more of rock and pop than old songs when I was a member of a band in high school. But the songs of composer Lee Younghoon-nim were made only with classic guitar and piano unlike the present songs that are mostly electric. The sound part mind seem old for the present standard but I like the fact that the emotions of the song itself is genuine."

We had an ill-tempered doubt about whether he will be discouraged due to the fact that maniacs are disapproving of idols from entering the world of musical. "To tell the truth, many people viewed us disapprovingly when we debuted. We heard many criticism that we are copying other groups, so we were scared to go to the broadcast station at first. But then when we went up to the stage and started showing others that we work diligently, people who criticized us started supporting us. I think it will be the same for the musical. There are some people who dislike idols doing musical, but if I have other charms to show them, I'm positive that they will view it differently. That's why I don't think it's scary how people view this."

He had also confessed that that even though it's impossible to do it right now, he wants to try performing one day. He watched through the connection with Kim Youngji who acted as Yitzkhaq. He chose 'When the Autumn Comes' as a song most meaningful to him between 's tracks including 'I Don't Know Yet' and 'Flying Through the Deep Night', which he sang and fell love with during the Monday Concert. "I sang that song during the press conference. I have never been nervous on a stage until I sang that song. I still get nervous when I hear that song because it reminds me of the day of the press conference. I really want to do well, remembering that." His burden won't be small performing in front of normal audience who can always judge coldly and sharply unlike the fans who would always be on his side, and always wish for him to do well. "When I first went to the reading, instructor Lee Gina-nim told me good words. It was really tender words, but you know how saying things softly are scarier than saying things angrily. I think I need to get severly punished when we do practice all together. Of course it will be hard and scary when I get in trouble, but I don't know a lot about musical so I want to learn it in this way." These were the words coming from a youth who has enough time to dream, even though there is not enough time to sleep.

Jap-Eng: sakiHa @2pmalways | Edited by Egle @2pmalways 

Stirring melody and acrobatic performances---2PM grabs your heart and never lets you go. Their first Japanese single [Take Off] will attract you with pop and refreshing melody, just representing 2PM’s new start. We asked their feelings about Japanese debut single [Take Off]

Enjoy their bright talk, just like the tune of [Take Off].

-----Hello, I hope you are ready this early morning.

Taec: (In Japanese) It’s not morning right now! It’s… 11:40am! It’s noon. Lunch time~.

----- You’re talking funny. As a matter of fact, you must be sleepy, aren’t you?

Taec: I’m Okay! Let’s begin!

-----OK then… the new single [Take Off] sounds so different from the usual 2PM songs, doesn’t it?

Taec: Since I was shooting Dream High, I was the last one to listen to the song. As you said before, it was a totally different style and I got bewildered at first. However, we can sing those kinds of songs only while we are young, so I’m trying to enjoy singing that.

Woo: Honestly, I was also worried about the song at first, but as I listened to it again and again, I became so addicted to it. It has some kind of magical power.

Khun: 10/10 is the most animated song of ours. [Take Off] is even more cheerful than 10/10, so it was very new to me.

Junsu: Lyrics are very positive. And I thought the code is interesting too.

----- It gave me an impression of your inner side.

Taec: It’s not all about us yet!

Junsu: We are livelier!

-----JYP and SuperChangttai made this song together, right? Did they give you a piece of advice about how to sing?

Junsu: JYP sang in Korean for us and we got what he wanted us to do. We have been with him for 3 years, and we know how he feels without a word.

Taec: Super Changttai told us to enjoy and sing this song.

Junsu: He let us do it with our style, not just following the music score.

Woo: In my case, I recorded while I was shooting Dream High. It was hard for me to sing when I was tired.

Junho: I wrote the meaning of lyrics in Hiragana, Hangeul and Latin alphabet. I read it many times before recording.

Khun: We all discussed this song and how we should sing it, each member helped out the others while recording and made it a better song. Taec and Woo couldn’t come to the meeting because of the drama shooting, so I think it was even harder for us to “grab” the song.

----- Which part was hard, in particular?

Chan: For me, [TSU] [CHI] [ZA] those sounds were very difficult. I picked up those parts and recorded them many times. Japanese staff members helped me a lot.

Taec: Rap part consists mostly of the English, I arranged a bit by myself.

----- When I listened to this song for the first time, I thought the song would be perfect to listen in the morning.

Woo: Morning, it would be nice to set it as your alarm.

Taec: For me, the beginning of the song is very slow, I might go back to sleep again. lol

Junsu: The main part would do then.

Khun: I think it’s good to listen on the way to work. Isn’t it refreshing?

----- Which is your favorite line of the lyrics?

Junsu: The parts “I’ll be~” and “with you~”.

----- That’s Chan’s part right?

Junsu: Melody and lyrics are matching well. I do the chorus, and I did some adlibs afterwards.

Taec: I like the phrase “Kore wo Unmei to yobunda (it’s what we call FATE)” because I believe in fate.

Junho: I like that phrase too. I don’t believe in fate though. I’d rather work on my life than rely on fate.

Chan: I like the words “Tsuyoi yuuki ni naru mahou no kotoba (the magical word makes me stronger)”

----- Romantic phrases… by the way, what are your magical words which make you stronger?

Junho: That’s fan’s voice. 2! P! M! Jun! Ho! Jjang! Sa! Rang! Hae!

Chan: Umm, let me see…

Woo: For Chan, it would be “Shall I buy you a dinner?”

Chan: Yeah, it would be perfect!

----- Are there any special dance moves?

Khun: Of course. I think everyone can do it easily.

Woo: It’s just like the airplanes flight with 2 wings.

Junsu: Our choreographer made all of them.

----- Do you like it?

Khun: Yes! And it’s simple!

Junsu: Is that the only reason why you like it? lol

----- But I heard your staff members saying the choreography is not easy at all.

Khun: True, but I believe it’s much easier to dance together with the audience to that song, compared to our Korean songs dances.

Taec: Each move is simple, but when 6 of us do that together, it’s harder.

----- [Take Off] is chosen as the title song of animation, “Ao no exorcist”. It must be exciting news for Anime freak Taecyeon?

Taec: Since we are newcomers in Japan, I feel we’ve got such a big chance.

Khun: When I was a child, I ran to the TV as soon as I heard the Anime’s title song. I’m glad to sing those songs which make kids excited.

Taec: We’re gonna be kids’ heroes~!

Khun: (Sing Doraemon’s song) It’s just like Doraemon. lol

-----Doraemon was aired in Thailand too?

Khun: Doraemon was aired in Japanese, and there were Thai subtitles on it. Detective Conan and Cardcaptor Sakura too.

Taec: We’ll be very happy if kids remember the song when they grow up.

----- Another song is the Japanese version of Heartbeat, right?

Khun: It was just weird for me at first.

Junsu: Yes. Especially, my part, “Uh Uh girl…” sounded so weird.

Taec: In my case, I didn’t even realize that it contained some English words in my part. è“Kanari DEEP na BEATS ga…” I tried hard to fit English words into Japanese pronunciation.

----- Are there any other differences between the Japanese version and the Korean version?

Junsu: Yes, we made the base sound stronger.

Khun: It’s more dynamic now. I’d say Korean version is 2D, and Japanese version is 3D.

Taec: Even though I listen to it on my laptop stereo, I can hear the strong base.

Junho: I guess you just got a nice laptop..? lol

----- What did you think about the recording then?

Junho: Accent was difficult for this song as well. I tend to make the notes longer. I’d sing “Ihimaa~ mooo~ hi~bi~kiii~” instead of “Ima mo hibiki”.

Chan: In my case, my part is “wae ajikdo…” in Korean, but it becomes “when did you kono ai…” in Japanese. It was hard to get the timing right.

----- Don’t you mix up Korean and Japanese?

Junsu: Yes, it is confusing but I will sing Japanese version a lot from now on, I think I’ll get used to it.

----- How did your fans react to the Japanese version of Heartbeat at Mezamashi Super Live a few days ago?

Taec: That stage was very valuable. I heard their cheering voices when the music started. However, when I started to sing it in Japanese, they just stopped screaming.

Junho: It was like “What!? Are they singing in Japanese perhaps?!” I felt their confusion. lol

Woo: But, once they were assured that we were singing in Japanese, they soon watched for us with warm eyes. I was so glad.

----- Did you get nervous since it was the very first time to sing in Japanese on the stage?

Chan: We do not really get nervous before performance, but we were so worried about the Japanese MC part more.

----- Your Okinawa fans seemed so happy to hear you say “Haisa~i 2PM desu!(*Hello, it’s 2PM in Okinawa dialect)”

All: Thank you.

----- They must be expecting your MCing in Zepp tours this May.

Khun: Yes, don’t we? (looking at members)

----- How’s your Japanese study going?

Chan: We study once in a few days between our schedules. By the way, the newest phrase I learned it “Since when are you that pretty?” This phrase is from the drama “Secret Garden”, and I learned it in advance. lol and…당든(*it should be 당연)… What’s the meaning of this word?

----- Of course?

Chan: No, it sounded different… I can’t remember. lol I’ll study again.

Junho: “Totonoimashita!”(*famous Japanese comedian’s gag) was a good one before… but I want to find another ones.

----- I count on your new single. At last, tell me your highlights of your concert.

Taec: Not only the “IT’S 2PM” stage, I’d love to show different parts of us on the solo stage. … and kids’ hero 2PM too! Lol

Junho: I don’t know if we are heroes, I’d show you that we are not only beasts.

Khun: I am so looking forward to the concerts, of course, and each city’s food too.

Taec: I want some meat! Meat is necessary for us, beastly idols!

Junsu: Anyway! lol We are preparing well so that you can enjoy the stage! We hope to see you all!

[NEWS] 110228 TEEN TOP, "We will dance until we broke our leg like Minwoo-hyung. Just like Shinhwa.."

QUOTE

Teenage idol group TEEN TOP said a bold quote at a news program.

TEEN TOP Said at MBN 'Live Today' on 28th February, "We will practice hard like senior Lee Minwoo. Until like how he broke his leg and bled in his throat. He gave us an advice that we can also be like Shinhwa. Just like the advice, we will work hard and be like seniors in Shinhwa."

TEEN TOP revealed their 1st mini album and their debut stage on July 2010. They has been catching some attention because all 6 members are still a teenager. They're right now doing their activities with a song from their 2nd Single 'Supa Luv' Remix.

TEEN TOP said something regarding Shinhwa, "Senior Andy picked us personally, but he's very sweet yet strict and scary. He gave an advice to us to have fun on stage and have confidence. And added, "Senior Eric is really a cool person."

'Handcuff-idol' is their nickname. They explained, "Maybe because we're all young, so older female fans gave us that kind of nickname. We will put you in a handcuff so you guys (noonas) can't go anywhere."

TEEN TOP talked about their overseas activities, 'Supa Luv' comeback and their entrance in Twitter's 'Today's Top 20'. They has been receiving attention not only in the country, but also overseas.

Netizens who saw the photos commented, ” Beast? Beast? Is it something to eat? ” , ” Their polka dot shirts make them look like high school students.” , “Waiting for the live show of 100 Points out of 100″ , ” Fighting towards your advancement in Japan.”

Beast who ‘broke into’ Japan recently were supposed to reveal their Japanese MV of Shock via big screen in Shibuya and 5 other major Japanese cities. The concern over accidents happening due to street congestion to view the MV caused the event to be cancelled. This really shows how popular Beast are. Beast are due to officially start Japan promotions on the 16th of March.

[News] SS501’s Park Jung Min almost debuted as a Super Junior member?

SS501's Park Jung Min made a guest appearance on Mnet's "Beatles Code" on 27th January. He revealed some of pre-debut photos, and also shared a shocking pre-debut story as well!

 “I was scouted by an agency in the middle of the street when I was 13 years old. At the time, I was casted into both DSP Media and SM Entertainment." 

 “I had to choose between one or the other. At the time, SM told me that they were preparing a new group, but that the group consisted of many members. Thinking about it now, it was probably Super Junior. I saw them rehearsing, too.” 

And when he was asked for the reason on choosing DSP Media over SM Entertainment, Park Jung Min answered, “I thought about wanting to see myself on TV and believed that I’d be able to debut faster through DSP Media, which was what influenced my decision.”

He also revealed various pictures from his pre-debut days. MC Yoon Jong Shin quickly spotted a CF Park Jung Min had done for condoms. He asked, "Are you not embarrassed seeing it now?”

Park Jung Min confidently replied, “Not at all. It was an advertisement advocating a message of safe sex. I’m actually satisfied.”

F.CUZ REVEAL “WANNA BE YOUR LOVE” MV

F.Cuz have always been a group on the brink. People would label them a failure group and think they are completely eclipsed by groups like SHINee or Big Bang. Well F.Cuz have been working very hard on changing the minds of every critic and they made a huge leap forwards with the release of their second mini album, Gorgeous.

There was a big of confusion when the mv teaser for the title track Midnight Sun was incredibly raunchy and the whole video wasn’t, but regardless, the song was met with a positive reception for it’s addictive vocals and dark imagery in the MV.

The group have decided to not become stuck in one concept for the album, instead they are intent on showing us the many facets of the group. They have attempted this with the new MV for their song 친구졸업(Wanna be your Love.)

As you will see from the video, this new MV couldn’t be further from Midnight Sun but it is no less stunning in my opinion. It makes me feel festive seeing their christmas sweaters, and they’re outfits in general are nothing short of adorable. It reminds me of a similar move from BEAST moving from the darkSoom to the bright and cheerful imagery of Beautiful. A very good comparison in my eyes!

I think this was a smart move by F.Cuz. They want to enter the ranks of the top echelon and by showing two opposite sides of the group it gives fans more to talk about, more to see, and they can base future projects on reactions. We could see a powerful and dark F.Cuz in the future, or they could steer towards a lovable group.

Either way, F.Cuz have shown us that they are going to work hard and give us something new with every release. This new music video has gotten me excited about what to expect from them next!

• Jang Geun-Suk was born on August 4, 1987 in Danyang County, Chungcheongbuk Province, South Korea. He is the only child in his immediate family. At the early age of six, Geun-seok started to work as a child model. His work as a child model came about by a fortuitous event. When his parents were selling their home, a perspective buyer came to their house who worked as a talent agent. When he saw young Jang Geun-Suk at the house, he advised his parents that Geun-seok should work as model. [1]
  Jang Geun-Suk made his acting debut four years later in the 1997 HBS sitcom "Selling Happiness" (Haengbokeul Pabmoda). He then continued to work in television as a child actor. In middle school, Geun-Suk heard the music of Japanese pop singer singer Ken Hirai & Japanese rock band L'Arc-en-Ciel. He was inspired enough by these bands to start learning the Japanese language by himself. In junior high school, Geun-seok went to school in New Zealand to learn English & Japanese. Because of his studies in New Zealand, he can carry casual conversations in both languages.[2] Even though Geun-Suk wanted to continue his studies in New Zealand, a job offer brought him back to South Korea. Geun-Suk landed a role in the popular MBC sitcom "Nonstop 4." After his work in Nonstop 4, Geun-Suk fell into a self-perceived slump and didn't think his acting was good enough. He decided then to re-devote himself to becoming a true actor.[3] In 2005, Geun-Suk's portrayal of the president's son in the SBS drama "Lovers in Prague" became a hit and was well regarded by drama fans.
  In 2006, Geun-Suk made the jump to the big screen in the Japanese horror film "One Missed Call Final." Using his past experience with the Japanese language, Geun-Suk was able to communicate with his Japanese co-stars with no problems. He also learned sign language for the prior three months in preparation for his role as a deaf boy in "One Missed Call Final". His next role was back on the small screen with the KBS2historical drama "Hwang Jin-yi." Geun-Suk's performance in "Hwang Jin-yi" did gain the attention of many female fans. The following year in 2007, Geun-Suk was casted in the rock music themed film "The Happy Life." His portrayal of Hyeon-ju in "The Happy Life" allowed Geun-seok to show off his masculine charms, as well as display his skills as a singer. Geun-Suk would go on to play in two more music inspired titles in 2008, with the feature film "Doremifasolasido" and the MBC TV drama "Beethoven Virus."
  Geun-Suk's next role in the 2009 thriller "The Case of Itaewon Homicide" marked the first time Geun-Suk performed as a villain. The film is based on a true story of a murder that occurred at a Burger King restaurant in Itaewon, South Korea.
