(Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook, Episode 385)
Hello.
Welcome to Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook.
I'm Yu Huiyeol.
It's very cold today
and I think it's a relief
that so many people came.
We'll have some hot performances
so prepare yourselves.
I'm saying this because
our guests today
are a bit different.
Today...
We'll have various divas of K-pop
that are all very unique
and loved by many.
So today's theme is...
The Return of the Divas!
(The Return of the Divas)
Right on cue.
I'm very excited about today's shoot.
Let me introduce our first guest.
I think the term diva is the most fitting
for this artist.
If you look at all the divas in Korea,
she's like their ancestor.
She's one of the top.
So you all can get an idea, this person...
I want to make this simple.
She's been active since President Kim Yeongsam.
She's quite legendary.
You might get an inkling by looking at this.
It feels different from our previous guests.
The original legendary diva.
The queen is back.
It's Uhm Junghwa.

The queen is back.
It's the original diva, Uhm Junghwa!
Welcome.
Hello.
Good to be here, everyone.
- First... / - This is great.
Really?
Yes, it really is.
She was on our show last January
and it's been a year.
How is it to be on this show again?
It's always the same here.
How so?
It's so radiant,
welcoming
and happy.
I love that about this show.
And since you're here...
It feels like last year.
So...
Today's theme is Return of the Divas.
And you opened up the show
with an amazing performance.
You came down from where the audience is.
I thought, "Wow, Uhm Junghwa is back."
I was worried about getting to the stage.
It's a pretty long distance.
It was like that at first
but once the doors opened,
I felt the energy of the audience.
I had so much fun walking down here.
I loved how so many people waved to me.
It was so exciting and happy.
Last December, you finished your 10th official album.
I listened to the entire album.
All the songs sounded so refined.
So classy.
Tell us about your album.
I'm sure you had a lot of thought while making it.
I'm not sure. As I was preparing it,
I was worried if people would even listen to it.
I put out the album for "DISCO" in 2008.
That was a long time ago.
So my album releases feel very spaced out.
I was worried I'd be forgotten.
Times have really changed.
So I was worried and excited.
I heard what you said about me back there.
Ancestor?
Like mitochondria.
What about you?
What should we call Huiyeol?
If I'm mitochondria...
The ancestor.
Actually...
I didn't mean to take 8 years to put out an album.
I'm still out of breath.
- The time... / - Because I'm an ancestor.
So...
It's not that I ended my career.
I injured my throat.
You were unwell back then.
It's not that I finished my singing career.
Other factors...
- That's why. / - It wasn't my decision.
But I didn't release an album
for quite a long time.
So I was really worried
and hopeful.
Yes... That's how I felt.
Who did you work with
for the song you just performed?
Primary and Suran made this song.
And Hangzoo wrote the lyrics.
The names...
Not a single proper name among them.
Primary, Suran and Hangzoo...
Worked on the song.
It sounds like it was made in the kitchen.
Primary was cooking egg, which sounds like Suran...
And wipes it with a rag, which sounds like Hangzoo.
I heard the lyrics
and I thought that this song is perfect for you.
The lyrics...
They go like this.
Some unique words choices here.
"Many outtakes."
"Close up."
"Dissolve."
"As we say the last lines, we fade out."
These are the lyrics.
What's the title of this song?
"Ending Credit."
How did you feel when you first heard the song?
I thought it was perfect for me.
I heard the melody without the lyrics at first.
And when I first heard it,
I loved it.
And when I got the lyrics...
I bet you loved it even more.
I was like, "How did they write this?"
When I shoot movies
and go to the screening...
- I stay until the ending credits. / - Until the end.
But this song felt like a different kind of ending credit.
I choked up while recording this song.
It reminded me of many outtakes during the shoots
as well as outtakes in my life.
But I don't consider this song
the ending credits for me.
- It's the start of another movie. / - Right.
This is part 1.
Now part 2 has started.
Act 2 of my life?
Right.
Let's say there really was
ending credits in your life.
Hypothetically.
Then who would be included?
People you want to thank.
This question...
- Always makes me choke up. / - Right.
When you want to thank people on your album...
- There are many people to consider. / - Yes.
My parents...
Who have passed away.
All the managers I've worked with.
And...
All my friends.
Also, the people
that made my life difficult.
- Right. / - They'd be the villains.
Oh, right.
A movie needs a villain.
Perhaps we also have antagonists in life.
When would my name come up?
I'm not on there?
You'd be among the list of friends.
Are you wearing a curtain right now?
So...
Many people worked on your official album.
Who are they?
So many composers...
Primary, Yoonsang...
And...
POSTINO.
Lee Hyori and Jung Ryeowon were featured.
And I sang a duet with...
Jonghyun.
So this album was very meaningful.
From beginning to end.
I worked so hard on every song
and it became a great album.
Musically,
it was rated favorably as well.
It's been a while since I put out an album
but it feels like a new start for me
so I'm excited.
That's what's most important.
Will this album get people excited for the next one?
As for me...
I could just be saying this since you're a guest...
- What is it? / - It's a bit strange...
This song that Junghwa released
is my personal favorite out of all the recent songs.
When I first heard it,
I was like, "Wow, who wrote this?"
"How did they make this song?"
"How did they do this rearrangement?"
"How is she going to dance to this?"
But I watched you perform
and I thought that you totally pulled it off.
It made me wonder what you'll do
for your next song.
I kept thinking that.
Right.
I'm excited too.
But...
I think that's more meaningful.
Please remember me.
Of course.
I'm Uhm Junghwa the singer.
You have to keep singing.
You wrote some of the lyrics for this album.
Well... Do you know the members of EVE?
No, right?
No, they don't know EVE.
EVE...
They're a band. Some people might remember.
The leader of EVE, Ko Hyeongi...
He goes by G.gorilla now.
He's a composer.
Yes, G.gorilla is a very famous producer.
Yes, he's very famous.
And he makes great songs.
He made the song
and when I heard the melody,
I just...
Felt like telling my story.
So...
I've been working as a singer and actress
for a while.
You all know the name Uhm Junghwa.
That's how hard I worked.
I'm always working towards
my dreams every day.
And even when I struggle, I think of you all.
I've been working hard
all my life to pursue my dreams.
But one day...
I felt a bit lonely.
It's not because of a lack of friends
or lack of love.
I felt like...
I've grown distant from the public as a singer.
That loneliness.
But that loneliness...
There, there.
She keeps choking up.
It happens when you get older.
I really think it's my age.
You're cute!
Yes, so then what?
It's a loneliness you feel
as you get older...
As a female singer.
So...
In that loneliness...
"Why am I even putting an album out?"
I even questioned myself.
- "For what reason?" / - You asked yourself...
Why are you even making music?
Right.
Some people say I'm too old and I should retire.
But...
My heart beats
and I'm still passionate.
So I don't want to be held back
just because of my age.
I could feel lonely
but it wasn't right for me to quit.
That's why...
And I've received so much love from you all.
That's what I thought of.
So what's the name of the song you wrote?
- "She." / - "She?"
- Yes. / - How do the lyrics go?
I'd like to hear you sing it now.
Could you sing a bit of it?
Since the song is meaningful.
Yes, please listen.
("She" by Uhm Junghwa)
♪ Near the end of a hard day ♪
♪ This loneliness that spreads over the sunset ♪
♪ It was always a bit of a burden ♪
♪ I had so many happy moments ♪
♪ They happened to me ♪
♪ But they didn't feel like mine ♪
♪ All those radiant times that come to mind ♪
♪ If I was dreaming, what was the dream? ♪
♪ It's hard for me to say for sure ♪
♪ There's something I can't forget ♪
♪ My heart and my reasons ♪
♪ And the hearts that I received ♪
♪ I'm somewhere in there ♪

♪ My heart isn't as fast as time ♪

♪ Actually, I'm always afraid ♪
♪ Hush, hush, don't cry out loud ♪
♪ Hush, so that nobody knows, hush ♪
♪ Hush ♪
I want to try again!
It was good.
So...
When a singer
tells their story...
It's very hard.
It's hard to tell your story on stage.
But your lyrics...
Why did you write those lyrics?
It makes us feel sad.
That last "Hush."
"Let's not talk about it."
You end it with a hush too.
Hush.
Lastly, it's a new year.
Even though some time has passed.
It's a bit late but
how about some nice words for the viewers?
It's good to hear advice from an elder.
Say a few things.
So everyone...
Have a happy new year.
And I think that
we all should
enjoy the moment we're in.
Speaking as an elder.
Yes.
When you hear from an elder...
And I hope this show
keeps going on
for a long time.
So that I can perform
for you all when my
next album comes out.
You have to stay till then.
It sounds like some advice for me.
You should listen to your elders.
Because you might not think much at first
but later at home...
"Oh, I should enjoy the moment."
You all might realize how meaningful that is.
It sounded a bit random, didn't it?
- No, it's fine. / - Oh, right.
I was greeting you all for the new year.
Have a happy new year, everyone.
I hope you all have
many happy moments
to enjoy every day.
And your worries...
Try not to let them get to you too much.
I hope you all stay healthy
and listen to a lot of music this year.
Alright then.
I'd like to say a few words to her for the new year.
I haven't said what I wanted to you yet.
You're taking like 5 minutes to say all this.
- No... / - Go ahead.
I'm waiting for your new album.
I'd like you to work on music this year.
I'm a huge fan of his.
- I've never heard that before. / - And...
I'm really waiting.
- Really? / - Yes.
- Thank you. / - For real.
Please keep this show running a long time.
Alright.
Thank you.
So I have a few short words for her
since she said something to me.
Live long and don't get sick.
Alright...
We'd like to hear another song. What will you sing?
Yes, I'm very happy about this opportunity.
It's in part 1 of my album, called "Willow Forrest."
It's made by POSTINO.
He's very hot these days.
Some of you might not know him.
Oh! The song "Like It..."
- Right. / - He made that.
I keep calling that song, "It Hurts."
- You like that it hurts? / - Right.
So that's the song.
It's kind of like a 2018 version of "Invitation."
That sounds great.
So please listen to it with open hearts.
Alright.
We'll listen to "Willow Forest"
and we'll say good-bye to Junghwa here.
Thank you for being on the show.
Thank you.

Our next guests...
Are ballad divas.
They're great singers and they're pretty.
They're prefect.
And this is their 10th year since they debuted.
This isn't a quiz show.
We're not summoning them.
They said that they've started to resemble each other
after working with each other for so long.
I guess it means their teamwork is great.
The ballad diva duo.
It's Davichi.

It's the Return of the Divas.
The ballad divas.
It's Davichi. Welcome.
- Hello. / - Hello.
- Hello. / - Hello.
Let's start with Minkyeong.
Please introduce yourselves.
Sure.
Hello, I'm Kang Minkyeong of Davichi.
Good to be here.
Hello, I'm Lee Haeri of Davichi.
Good to be here.
All of Davichi is here today.
All of us...
The entire group.
It's been around a year and 3 months.
- Since we got together? / - Yes.
- It's been a while. / - You're right.
How have you been?
We were super busy.
- We had a year-end concert. / - Right.
We had to prepare for our concert and album.
So things were very busy.
Davichi is great.
I have a lot to be thankful for when it comes to them
being on our show.
We once had
a special called Mr. Yu's Singing Class.
It was a karaoke special.
People sang their favorite songs.
Do you remember that day?
Our song "8282..."
You guys killed it with that song.
People still sing it at karaoke, right?
I was on "Happy Together" recently
in that segment where singers sing at karaoke.
I noticed the song is charted pretty high.
Did you get out early?
- Me? / - Yeah.
It took them a while to sing it.
But they did sing it, right?
Yes, they did.
The two of them have so much fun together.
They really do.
They never hold back.
You'd think by the way they look
and the fact that they sing quiet and sad songs,
they'd be timid
but they're not like that at all.
You guys are karaoke experts.
We're experts?
Not really karaoke experts.
The two of us are in our car a lot.
When we have an appointment,
Minkyeong drives.
We sing a lot of songs in the car that we can't sing...
- As ballad singers. / - In the car.
So let's say you're at karaoke.
And things are a bit boring.
And you guys are there for a work party
and you're the youngest ones there.
So you have to liven the mood.
- What would you do? / - Then we'd sing Nam Jin's...
We're really into this song these days.
What is it?
- Do you know his song, "Nest?" / - "Nest."
- You like that song? / - Have you heard of it?
♪ You just sit still ♪
Do you know that one?
Do you?
It's a lot of fun to play it loud in the car.
How do you sing it?
♪ You just sit still ♪
♪ I'll do everything ♪
♪ Is it reality or a dream? Is it real or not? ♪
♪ Don't stand there confused, ooh! ♪
You were a bit late for the ooh.
Ooh...
Then let's say you're at karaoke
and there's a guy you like.
You want to make him fall for you with your singing.
Tell us.
What would you do?
I'm nervous about this airing.
All the times I went to karaoke...
Just tell us what you do.
The guys that heard me sing this...
Might think you were into them.
"Huh? Was Kang Minkyeong trying to seduce me?"
I don't want them to think that...
It's not like that.
- We'll make that clear. / - It's not like that.
- I just... / - A ballad you sing often?
When there's a guy I like
and I want to look good in front of him...
Take notes, people.
I sing...
Na Yoonkwon's "If It Was Me."
That song's a bit...
When girls wild out at karaoke
and sing loudly...
It's not really a good look.
♪ So cruel ♪ Girls that sing like that.
It's a bit much.
Right.
"What's with this girl?"
It's a bit of a turn-off if they're too good at singing.
- Right. / - If they go all out...
So I sing Na Yoonkwon's song.
Then where do you look when you sing?
It's too much pressure if you keep staring at the guy.
"She's staring at me way too much."
You could seem like you're trying too hard.
I give him glances here and there.
For example...
♪ If it was me ♪
♪ The one you love ♪
♪ If it was me ♪
♪ I've prayed for countless days ♪
- How tantalizing. / - Like this.
Did you see that?
You have to go...
And make eye-contact like that.
I get it now.
How about you, Haeri?
Do you know the song
"Please" by Wax?
- "Please." / - Yes.
I sing that song often.
- When you're with a guy? / - Yes.
- Sing it for us. / - The lyrics go...
♪ I don't feel good inside ♪
♪ From drinking too much ♪
♪ I'm so sensitive I can't sleep at night ♪
♪ I like a racy girl ♪
That's how it goes.
He likes a racy girl.
You should check that song out, everyone.
It's really relatable.
Who are the guys you two are meeting?
I see...
We should really congratulate them though.
This year
is the 10th year since Davichi debuted.
Give them a big hand.
- Thank you. / - And!
After 5 years...
This is very meaningful for singers.
They put out an official album.
This is great news. Let's give them another hand.
Thank you.
Once this airs,
a lot of people will be listening to it.
- Probably. / - This song.
But 5 years. You guys took too long.
We all waited so long.
We're always putting out
our official albums every 5 years.
We don't mean to do this
but it always seems to take a while.
But this is our 10th year
so our official album seems even more meaningful
which is why we worked very hard on it.
It looks like you really put a lot into it.
Kang Daniel...
Kang Daniel?
Kang Daniel was in our music video.
- Really? / - Yes, that's why...
I think our title track is a bit more powerful.
And...
Lee Juck...
Such a big age gap between those two.
That's kind of weird.
Lee Juck seems out of place.
He made a song for us.
- We were so thankful. / - Daniel did a music video...
- And Lee Juck... / - And Lee Juck gave you a song.
Very understandable.
So you actually met Kang Daniel?
He's in our agency.
- The same agency. / - We see him at the studio.
I've never met him before.
- Really? / - I avoid that guy.
Because they say you die
if you see your doppelganger 3 times.
That's why I've been avoiding him.
Huiyeol, Daniel has a ton of fans.
Really? I'm sorry.
So Lee Juck gave you a song.
What song did he make for you?
It's called "Just the Two of Us."
We've been together for 13 years
if you include our time as trainees.
And it's Davichi's 10-year anniversary.
Many things have happened
during that time
for the both of us.
So we wanted to put all that in a song.
A story about you two?
Yes, our story.
And Lee Juck's song had the perfect lyrics.
It was as if he's known us for 10 years.
- He wrote the lyrics? / - Yes, he did.
- About you two? / - Yes.
How did he write that song?
- Very impressive. / - It's like he saw into us.
- God Juck. He's amazing. / - He really is.
God Juck sounds kind of weird.
- Juck God? / - That sounds even stranger!
- Juck God? / - No, no...
Want to hear something funny?
Lee Juck will be working in Japan.
- Yes. / - He's performing in Japan.
Do you know what they call him in Japan?
They call him Jokgu-san.
Jokgu-san!
They call him that.
I miss him now after talking about him.
So let's hear the song that
Lee Juck made for Minkyeong and Haeri.
Let's give them a big hand for "Just the Two of Us."
Please listen to the lyrics.

I couldn't help blurting out before the song ended...
"This is nice."
I said it without my mic.
It hits the heart.
Lee Juck did the guide vocals
when he gave us this song.
"How did we not pass out and make it this far?"
That line...
"Two immature kids."
- Got me crying. / - "Two immature kids..."
"How did we not pass out and make it this far?"
We got those lyrics through a text message.
He texted us all the lyrics.
We were together.
"Haeri, I got the lyrics."
We took a look and after reading that line, we lost it.
It was so nice yet sad.
Despite how he looks, he writes great lyrics.
I'll be rooting for your success in Japan.
Good luck, Jokgu-san!
- Let's go! / - Let's go, Jokgu-san!
You two put out an official album after 5 years.
What's the title track?
"Days Without You."
Even the title sounds sad, doesn't it?
The lyrics are really sad.
- The lyrics? / - Yes.
Tell us one of the killer lines.
"Because I feel sorry for me."
"Because I pity myself for loving you too much."
"I want to be doing well like you said but I'm not."
I'm pitying myself for loving you so much.
That part got me choked up.
How about these lyrics?
I see them now.
"Each second is such a mess without you."
Yes, that's the last line.
I want to hear the song now.
Alright. "Days Without You."
- This is your first time singing it on TV? / - Yes!
We're nervous. It's our first time singing it live.
- I bet you're nervous. / - We are.
Why am I so nervous?
If you sing a song you're used to singing,
you can feel relaxed
but I bet this feels different.
So different.
And the people in the audience are so close.
Right.
That's why I'm even more nervous.
They're all going to clap and cheer
for you two even more.
I hope they all listen carefully.
We'll listen to "Days Without You"
and say good-bye to Davichi here.
- Thank you for being on the show. / - Thank you.

This is the diva special.
And our next diva...
Last year in 2017...
This song swept the nation.
In my expert opinion...
Her eyes change when she performs.
And her dances...
In my expert opinion... She's pretty good.
And she's quite beautiful.
If you look at the list of Korean divas,
there's Uhm Junghwa and Lee Hyori.
She's the next diva to come after them.
It's Sunmi.

Hello.
Hello.
This is the diva special.
And she's one of the hottest divas.
It's Sunmi. Welcome.
Hello, I'm Sunmi.
Good to be here.
She was on our show 3 year ago
as a part of Wonder Girls.
This is her first appearance here as a solo artist.
How do you feel?
I don't really get nervous on other music shows.
- But this show makes me really nervous. / - Why?
First of all, you're here...
What's wrong with me?
You're here...
And a lot of music lovers watch this show.
So this show makes me nervous.
I haven't seen Sunmi often on talk shows.
You're rarely featured on talk shows.
That's right.
Why didn't you do more?
I'm not much of a speaker.
- Really? / - Yes.
Don't stare at me like that as you talk.
Why not?
It's nice.
I'll start talking to her now.
I'll get started.
We met backstage recently
at a year-end award show.
And now we meet again. It's been a while.
Yes, that's right.
When I saw you back then,
I was really touched.
Why?
You gave me a hug after it was all over.
You hugged me...
- He went like... / - My stomach hurts...
"Sunmi..."
He hugged me like that.
So I want to ask here
what that hug meant.
I'm very curious.
I was so proud of her.
Very proud...
She's so amazing... This is why I hugged her.
She did a collaboration with Uhm Junghwa.
And after I saw the performance,
I talked to Junghwa and we both saw Sunmi.
I gave Sunmi a hug because
she was so good to Junghwa.
Gosh, that's what happened.
But it really gave me a lot of strength.
- Really? / - Yes.
It was touching.
But I didn't know...
That's the reason you hugged me.
What reason?
What are you trying to say?
I was rooting for her success.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
No! This is a lot of fun!
For real...
So today's theme is the Return of the Divas.
- So... / - Look at him change the subject.
I'm having a deep conversation with Sunmi.
Tell us the first song you sang.
- Yes. / - You sang quite a few songs.
The first song was "24 Hours."
Then "Full Moon" from 2014.
And "Gashina" from 2017.
Those are the songs I performed.
I really liked "24 Hours."
But I started hating it after seeing
Yu Jaeseok's dance.
Why?
As soon as I saw Jaeseok dance to that song...
- You saw, right? / - Yes, I saw it too.
You should sue him.
He needs to be behind bars.
- Actually... / - Yes?
I'd like to see you dance too.
For real.
First...
- I'm so curious. / - I told you all, right?
A pro recognizes another pro.
She can tell I'm good by my body.
No... Well...
I watch this show often.
I noticed that you do dance sometimes.
- And move to the rhythm. / - I do?
Yes.
JYP and I are friends.
We danced together when we were younger.
First of all... All your solo tracks
have special dance moves.
Show us one at a time.
- "24 Hours." / - For "24 Hours..."
- You hold your arm out like this. / - Like this...
- You stick out your hip that much? / - Yes. Like this.
That's a lot.
Like this...
You stand like this and it goes...
♪ 24 hours aren't enough ♪
How does it go?
You point to your wrist like this.
Neck, shoulder, shoulder.
- That's it. / - I did it!
- That's how it goes! / - I did it.
Show us the next one.
- For "Full Moon..." / - "Full Moon."
That represents the full moon?
No wonder the move looks so childish.
That's like...
One of the dances I hate...
You know that dance...
♪ The house you live in ♪
When I saw JYP do that dance,
I thought it was so simple.
"Full Moon." That was memorable.
- Next one. / - The next one?
The dance for "Gashina..." You have to do this too.
Alright.
Start.
- Bam! Like that. / - Alright.
Start.
You have to shoot the gun too.
Trying to look pretty...
Wow!
Impressive!
Thank you so much, Huiyeol.
- Thank you. / - She complimented me.
That dance was explosive last year.
A lot of people say this since
she has such powerful performances.
She listens to a very wide range of music.
What kind of music do you like?
Can you recommend a song for us?
I bet...
You've heard of this song.
There's a band from the 1970s called Toto.
- They have a song called "Georgy Porgy." / - Yes.
The band Toto...
They all play instruments.
It's a group made up of instrumentalists.
Yes, it's a group like that.
I was on this show as a band with Wonder Girls.
I watched a lot of Toto's clips.
So...
What part do you like in "Georgy Porgy?"
For me...
I love that part!
It's so cool.
You'd think there should be more fill-in
but it just goes...
I think that's so cool.
What she means is this.
The piano comes in like...
And then... The drums come in.
They call that fill-in.
So what Sunmi was talking about was...
That's the part you like?
Yes, that part and there's a guitar solo
later on in the song.
I love that part!
The band behind us...
We played together.
That was like a textbook to us.
Then for this song...
Some people might not know it.
You'll know as soon as you hear the song.
- Can you sing a bit of it? / - Yes.
Great. Let's give her a big hand.

Let's give her another big hand.
Thank you.
Sunmi came out with a new song recently.
Can you tell us about it?
I put this song out 5 months after "Gashina."
It's called "Heroine."
This new song...
Sunmi is known for her songs...
But many people are excited about the performance.
What's the main dance for "Heroine?"
I didn't decide on a main dance for this song.
So...
Maybe you can come up with one.
You want me to come up with the main dance?
- I was wondering if you could name it. / - Oh.
She wants me to name it. She scared me.
I thought she wanted me to come up with a dance.
Really?
I'll know once I see the dance.
- This one's like, "Don't move." / - Don't move.
Kind of like a bank robber.
Show me the dance first then.
Okay.
♪ Just do as you always did ♪ There's a part like that.
For that part...
♪ Just do as you always did ♪
That's how the dance goes.
I see.
So it goes like this? Show me again.
I'll name it right now.
Forget you, forget you, forget you.
Then how does it go?
What is it?
You wanted me to name it.
Alright...
Did you like that?
- That was so... / - Alright.
So... Everyone...
My goodness...
If you're watching at home,
tell your family what I just said.
Forget you, forget you... Like that.
It's time for us to say good-bye soon.
- Already? / - Yes.
How was it? You came on the show by yourself.
She said she was nervous
about the talking segment.
How was it though? Was it okay?
Yes, I had a great time here thanks to you.
You're so considerate.
I think that's why I was able to get through this.
And to the studio audience...
I'm sure what I talked about was pretty boring...
But you all... Why are you laughing?
All the guys here were like...
So funny.
- Really? / - They kept shaking their heads.
You guys are ridiculous.
I'll conclude with this question that I always ask
first-timers on this show.
I'll ask since it's her first time here as a solo artist.
Sunmi, what's your dream?
Realistically, it's to be a good wife and mother.
But for this show...
Sunmi the singer's dream...
It's to have my own genre.
I dream of that.
I want to become someone iconic.
That's a big dream.
I hope your dream comes true.
It's her next performance.
That dance she showed us. "Heroine."
We'll hear that and say good-bye to Sunmi here.
Thank you for being here today.
Thank you so much.
I'll also be saying good-bye here.
Thank you for being with us until this late hour.
And I'd like to thank the studio audience again
for filling up this set.
I'll see you all next time.
Thank you.
