◆Lee Ik-seon: An apartment song by Blackpink Rosé with pop star Bruno Mars is enjoying worldwide popularity. The music video has 100 million views on YouTube. Most of them are No. 1 on domestic and international music charts. At the same time, even this person, the originator of the apartment, was summoned. You know it well, right? Let's call singer Yoon Soo-il on the phone. Hello,

◈ Yoon Soo-il: Nice to meet you.

◆Lee Ik-seon: No, it's good if you can appear in person, but you must have been very busy today? First of all, please say hello to our listeners.

◈Yoon Soo-il: I'm so happy to say hello to you on YTN Radio Issue & People. These days, I unintentionally get interview requests, but I specially chose it and said hello because it's YTN.

◇Choi Soo-young: You must be really stunned. I don't think you would have imagined this kind of re-emergence because you're suddenly enjoying such explosive popularity, and you're summoned at the same time as BLACKPINK's Rosé.

◈ Yoon Soo-il: I have to live a long life and see you. Regardless of my will, it's something that my junior Rosé made with Bournomas and became famous all over the world, so I'm excited, grateful, and congratulated.

◆Lee Ik-seon: Actually, this apartment song is still the best cheer song in the stadium, so it was always there for us. There's something new about it, but even though I sang this song, I think you might think it's a masterpiece.

◈ Yoon Soo-il: I think the expression "masterpiece" is a little too much. I'm not the owner. I made this song when the mood is down or I really need to cheer up at meetings or playgrounds. But since you guys sing this song as "Cheer up," I thought it wasn't my song but the fans who love music.

◆Lee Ik-seon: It's cool to hear this humility again.

◇Choi Soo-young: What surprised me is that in the movie recently, actor Lee Byung-hun sang an apartment ad-lib, but it was so popular that it became a hot topic once again, so I thought the apartment was almost a rank of national songs.

◆Lee Ik-seon: Don't people around you greet you, text you, and congratulate you?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: That's right. So I'm a little busy.

◆Lee Ik-seon: Fall is also the season of festivals. There are many events, but I guessed that you were busy with the event.

◈ Yoon Soo-il: I also order a lot of performances. I'm one of the lucky singers in many ways.

◆Lee Ik-seon: You've come to Soong's Music Hall a long time ago to perform. I graduated from Sungui Girls' High School in Namsan. At that time, I met Yoon Soo-il at the playground, and I was really surprised by whether he was a human or a mannequin, so I thought, "How can a person be so handsome?"

◈ Yoon Soo-il: Thank you. At that time, when I first debuted, some people liked my face shape, but I rather dislike it. It looks too Western. This is the feeling that only I have. There are times when I went to a concert hall or an open broadcast, so I tried hard to overcome that.

◆ Lee Ik-seon: How did you try to jump?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: As the years go by. As time goes by, I think all of my juniors are taking after my face, especially with dance music and idol girl groups. I don't think I'll stand out even if I'm standing with them now.

◆Lee Ik-seon: That's true. There have been a lot of sculptural handsome people.

◇Choi Soo-young: People's speaking skills are amazing these days. Rosé calls her that and it's becoming famous, so Rosé, do a new apartment. It feels a bit like a Gangnam apartment, and the original apartment that Yoon Soo-il called was a reconstruction apartment. I'm the head of the union, and the expression is fun. You've heard this a lot, right?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: He was unintentionally nicknamed the head of the redevelopment association, Yoon. But in fact, the apartments we live in actually go into redevelopment after 30 to 40 years. But thankfully, Rosé is redeveloping it so naturally.

◆Lee Ik-seon: First of all, how do you evaluate Rosé's apartment as a senior singer is jokingly being sung as a banned song for the CSAT. It's so addictive. So how did you like it?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: With the theme of apartment, I'm not saying that it's actually the title of my song, but it's very important for us to live. I made the song when the apartment culture, one of the food, clothing, and shelter, just happened in Korea, and now it is a fully mature residential culture. But Rosé put her hands on the 10th floor in order and the person who takes 10th floor drinks. In the first half of this song, "Apartment Apartment Apartment," reminds us of that game. That was very effective. So Rosé and Brunomas are very musical, especially Rosé, who has Korean blood, but Brunomas is a mixed race between the black and white people. Almost 20 Grammys in the U.S. now after Michael Jackson? He's that genius, so the two of them were in perfect harmony, so I think people all over the world love him like this because a great song came out with the title of the apartment.

◇Choi Soo-young: Have you personally contacted Rosé for making this relationship?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: I'm thinking of doing it in the future. I was thankful, so I thought that I would play a role as a senior if I bought a meal.

◆Lee Ik-seon: But looking at the article yesterday, Rosé's apartment is No. 1 on the karaoke chart and our union leader Yoon Soo-il's apartment is No. 11. 339 steps up.

◈ Yoon Soo-il: It was released in 1982, and the karaoke culture began then. We naturally received karaoke culture from Japan and it spread nationwide. As far as I remember, I think I won first place for 10 years. There are a few songs that I like to sing, and I've always been at the top of the list.

◆Lee Ik-seon: But did you make this song yourself?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: Yes. My debut song was "I Won't Just Love". I received a lot of love for that song, so I became a singer. I thought I should get closer to young fans, so I started making my career as a singer-songwriter. As I said, I sensed that apartment culture began in Korea even though I was young at that time. In Jamsil and Cheonho-dong, all the coriander sites were reed fields. When you cross the bridge, the reed forest shakes in the wind, but now, rare apartments are created, and now they are completely listed as apartment complexes.

◆Lee Ik-seon: That's right. It's not a reed forest, it's an apartment forest. By the way, which apartment is it that crosses the starry bridge and passes through the windy reed forest?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: That's what I was talking about in the area of Cheonho-dong, Jamsil, where I tried to get a lot of musical inspiration as I crossed those bridges.

◆Lee Ik-seon: There was no Olympic Bridge at this time, and was it Cheonho Bridge?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: It's Jamsil Bridge.

◇Choi Soo-young: You've been going around to get inspiration, but according to one theory, it's a legend that was made in 5 minutes. Is it true?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: But actually, our painters do great works over the years, but they draw things like this once. We usually have a lot of thoughts about making songs like this, so if there's a motif, it's just 5 minutes. A friend who went to the army came and asked me to have a drink, so I went to the cart bar, and the cart bar shed tears like chicken poop in front of me, so I asked. When a brave soldier asked me why I was crying in front of me, I went to the apartment where the woman I was dating lived and rang the bell, and there was no news, so when I asked, I immigrated with my family. When a soldier like a bolt from the blue encountered such a thing, he came to my closest friend and cried. So I turned around and took notes whether my friend cried or not.

◆Lee Ik-seon: So I said, 'When I call you because I miss your apartment that always waited for me, I can't forget you who lost your beautiful voice.' It's coming out like this, but you know the thing at the beginning that goes "Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding." Did you put that in when you first recorded it? Or you thought you should put this in later.

◈ Yoon Soo-il: Rosé put "apartment~apartment~apartment~" in this. In the game. I made it all, so is there anything that can symbolize this apartment? I was wondering if there was anything innovative in Jeonju, but the yogurt lady pressed the ding-dong ding-dong in the drawing room. The lady gave me this motif again. This is it. And if you listen to it now, it's very tacky. It's a uniform ringtone for all apartments. I went to Cheonggyecheon and bought one. I ran to the recording studio and saw an article recording this, and they said, "I'm out of my mind, why are you recording this?" There's an episode where people said, "I'm out of my mind."

◆Lee Ik-seon: Everything that happened then becomes a source because you're determined to make something.

◇Choi Soo-young: But what I always feel while listening to this song is that the lyrics are very sad and sad, but it's a bit of an antinomic song that's exciting. The lyrics and the song... But the song doesn't work when the song goes off, but this isn't the original lyrics, right?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: The lyrics are unexpected. The people who listen to it said, "Cross the bridge where the starlight flows! If I do it, now it comes out as 'apartment apartment'. It changed like this.

◆Lee Ik-seon: But I heard that apartments were not very popular at first, unlike 'I Will Not Just Love you'.

◈ Yoon Soo-il: Yes. When it comes to K-pop, we have to sing romantic things like love, separation, sadness, loneliness, etc. But when I went out with the title of Concrete Apartment, everyone laughed, even in the broadcasting industry. That's why I told you. Take the title and play it. So at that time, this white edition was a big record, right? It's an LP record before the CD is released, but when you put it on, it's ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. What is this? You're going to be surprised again.

◇Choi Soo-young: Another popular song these days is "Beautiful!" It's because it's loved by the MZ generation, but if you look at the comments on the song video, it says, "Chosun City Pop's pioneer! , "A song from 40 years ago that keeps the trend these days." There's no end to the praise and communion for this song. Is there a reason why the lyrics and melody of "Beautiful" are being loved by the MZ generation again?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: It's a funk song. Punk is a rhythm that is loved by young people. Bruno Mars is also making a big hit by releasing a lot of songs like that. At that time, this was actually a genre of black people. So with our Korean personality, the funk doesn't actually touch my body. There's a bit of a difference, but I want to make a hit song.
At that time, we always hold the Miss Korea competition, and the singer should play the role of licorice in the middle of the Miss Korea competition, but unfortunately, all the people who worked with me were small. The only subcontractor of Seo Sun-nam is Seo Sun-nam, and he is over 1m 80cm tall, too tall, and he needs to be at least me to fit in with Miss Korea wearing heels. I'm getting a lot of casts. Then I have to go out and sing, but if I knew that love would be painful like this, I wouldn't be able to meet you. Wouldn't it be impossible to sing with that kind of content? So I did "Beautiful" with this funky rhythm. Still, I remember that Ko Hyun-jung and I held hands and circled around, and then held hands with him and gave him flowers. Anyway, I remember that. And later I saw that it was Ko Hyun-jung. I remember when I went up close and sang this song.

◆ Lee Ik-seon: I see. If you think about it, you've always had an open sense and you've gone ahead. I also feel like you've been in a good time. But it's a shame that this song is relatively buried. I really wanted this song to come out. If you have a song like this, can you recommend it?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: There are actually several songs like that. There's a mania group, so apartments and terminals have all been big hits nationwide, so there are so many songs that get buried in them. Usually, we release about 10 songs out of the album. For example, if "Apartment" becomes a hit, the other nine songs will be buried. There are so many songs like that. If I had to sing here, I would sing the Bossa Nova version of "Angel of the City". There's a song that expresses a young man's desire to make a dream come true after leaving his hometown. You could've told us about that song, but there are a lot of enthusiasts right now.

◇Choi Soo-young: I have a question. You mentioned earlier that Rosé used to enjoy soju and beer and made an apartment song after getting an idea from a drinking game. Do you enjoy soju and beer, Yoon Soo-il? Or what kind of alcohol do you enjoy?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: When you drank so-called somaek for a long time, you drank about 30 cups a night, right? To be honest, I like drinking and I'm a bit strong, but there's no business in the years, right? So I'm controlling myself a lot now.

◇Choi Soo-young: Is there a song that inspires you like when you were making apartments while drinking?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: There are a lot of songs like that. I couldn't make a big hit out of my songs."This Night I Want to Avoid" or "A Woman's Alcohol". I have a lot of memories of that drink in the future, so I'm predicting that such songs will be released in the future.

◆Lee Ik-seon: By the way, you finished recording your new album?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: The music is all over while going back and forth to Seoul. I think the presentation will be made as soon as the mixing work is finished.

◆Lee Ik-seon: How long has it been since you released this album?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: It's been 12 years.

◆Lee Ik-seon: Then, what should we focus on for the main points of this album?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: This is a trade secret, but as I said earlier, the song can't come out if I'm not sincere. So my story is ours. The story of my life. This time, I wrote this song to express that.

◇Choi Soo-young: I heard earlier that it was something to live for a long time, but whenever I hear Yoon Soo-il's words, I think again to see the lights that are out. What do you think about the evaluation that if I had been born a little later, I would have changed the game in the music industry?

◈ Yoon Soo-il: I think it's also appreciating to be evaluated as a singer that fits that era.

◆Lee Ik-seon: Yes, I heard that you promised that you would appear on our program when the album comes out. You're going to come out, right? Lastly, please say hello to our listeners.

◈Yoon Soo-il: Please pay a lot of attention to YTN radio issues and people and I hope this program will develop day by day, hosted by host Lee Ik-sun and critic Choi Soo-young. Please pay a lot of attention to my music, too.

◆Lee Ik-seon: Yes, thank you. We prepared "Beautiful" as the last song. Thank you.
