Debut or Die - 385<Wise>, LeTi's survival show, drew 500 viewers to the show.It was not a lottery among applicants like regular audiences for entertainment programs. They had invited personnel from universities, high schools and hospitals of certain corporations.The CEO proudly said it was to ensure the objectivity of the evaluation team, but some people benefited from it.'Awesome!'Among the high school students who liked to watch idols, someone squeezed their hands as if they were not a teacher.TL/N: '선생님' (seonsaeng-nim) means 'professor, teacher, instructor', but it is a title by which 'gentlemen, ladies' are also respectfully called. In this case, he is obviously a teacher, but unfortunately his gender is not specified, so I'll leave it in the masculine to vary the witness genders.'Ah, I didn't want to come and watch this because I was afraid my image would be sold... Oh God.'He had a passionate crush on some idols when he was in school, and even now, a few years after falling in love, that passion was alive and still burning.'I'm multifandom, but...'Yes, he liked all kinds of idols!Thanks to that, he enjoyed and showed interest in LeTi's survival show, concentrating on it without immersing himself excessively.After watching the five episodes that aired yesterday, he was guessing today's scenario.'Since the team battle came out just before, I wonder if there will be another individual match.'At the same time, he naturally recalls the most intense individual expository performance.Shin JaeHyun VS Cha YooJin's death match in the fourth episode that aired last week.-They broke it-Waah, I understand why the CEO used the Boss pass. He can't let it go;;-Truth be told, if he was a regular contestant, they would have shown more screen time to Cha YooJin hahaha LeTi CEO has a good eye, ohyu.-Cha YooJin is not LeTi's style, but he stands out. To be honest, I think Shin JaeHyun is better... Hmm, Cha YooJin has too much manic, cngrtltns.TL/N: '빠' (ppa - maniacs) is a derogatory way of describing excessive fans who may be annoying to other people.
The performance of the two successfully inherited the aggro performance of 'Ryu GunWoo VS Jin ChaeYul' and threw fuel on the fire once again.Here, a peculiar phenomenon also occurred.Originally, this agency's survival program worked differently from general survival programs where everyone fights against everyone.There were those who demanded that the group that would end up being formed thanks to this survival be debuted.-I think it would be perfect if everyone debuts like this ㅠㅠHowever, following the different impact of the <Supplementary Class>, especially Cha YooJin, who stands out as a comet, a new general audience has emerged that tends to focus on the individual rather than the team.'It's crazy.'The sudden influx of viewers caused the confusion to continue for several days, which drove existing viewers to corruption.It also had the effect of reigniting the controversy.-It would be a waste to eliminate Jin ChaeYul, so that guy decided GunWoo had no choice but to lose even though there was a boss pass hahaha I can't believe it-Did something bad happen between the CEO and Ryu GunWoo? Why did he have to treat that kid so cruelly when he could have used his pass on him?-All the RGW maniacs are saying he's a victim. Fuck, Wise fans as a group will be fed up when he debutsBut all this conflict was dramatically sealed yesterday with the fifth episode.'The key word 'sexy'!'Heavy viewers had already been excited after seeing just 5 seconds of spoilers for the performances in the trailer.Shin JaeHyun and Cha YooJin performed together again, and Ryu GunWoo was also included. It wasn't even an individual match, but a full team game.And in the trailer, there was a cut of Cha YooJin's solo where his eyes glowed like killing point.It was as if he was saying 'I'm a good candidate for this agency, don't you think so?'-Waah, shi--He's awesome. What's really wrong with this guy?-Some people said that LeTi doesn't look good to have Cha YooJin. Sht, I'm sure he said 'I am the LeTisang from today'.In addition, the preparation process for the performance in which Shin JaeHyun, who is full of leadership, leads the team gently, reminded people of the nature of internal survival in the company.'Soon you will become an official group!'Since the number of participants is small, he believed that all these guys are so good that they should debut together.As the warm cast of additional members and Ryu GunWoo's survival awakening rose as ingredients, the viewers who were feeling stressed also calmed down.-I guess those two are very close. Ah, I'm satisfied.-Did you see the look on his face? It was like a declaration that he's going to sweep all KPOP performances;; How likely are they to fail?-I'm already imagining how great it would be to have a concert after their debut ㅠㅠ.If the experience of being 'out of the class' of Ryu GunWoo seemed too painful, the comments would have changed a bit. Fortunately, the water level was adjusted to the appropriate level as planned.Of course, elements that had nothing to do with his intentions were included.As the professor who came as part of the audience thinks.'He...is really crazy about cleanliness.'It was like this.[Ryu GunWoo: It's good that every time I'm cleaning, my thoughts disappear.][Ryu GunWoo: So I'll clean the restroom][......?][No one told him to do that.]The three household chores that Ryu GunWoo did help him build a meticulous and strong image.Instead, it was emitted at a speed of x10.The image of him frantically sweeping and cleaning the dormitory turned out to be quite a funny image in contrast to the other out-of-class member who was embarrassed, and the production team didn't miss it.[Tenacious♨][It's out of our control...]The image of him pouring his burning passion into his chores while thinking about his performance was accepted by people as a cute meme.-Someone who is very good at studies: First of all, there's nothing to see ← Isn't he perfect?-He seems to have received a very good education at home haha.-Is being a house elf GunWoo's way of handling stress?-Ah, it's sad and cute, but it's a lot of fun ㅠㅠ
TL/N: '눈에 뵈는 다른 거 없음' (Nothing to see) is a common phrase indicating that 'it doesn't matter so much, no need to pay attention to it, it is something that is done by the mere will of the person', so the first comment says that GunWoo is perfect as he is someone very skilled in both studies and household chores, but most of all he is very humble. '집요정' is 'house fairy', but this word has also been used in the official translation of 'house elf' in the Harry Potter novels and movies.Surprisingly, everything was streamlined, so the image of the golden spoon in the greenhouse was not broken.
TL/N: 'Golden spoon in the greenhouse' = Heir of a wealthy family who has grown up in a well-protected environment.It would have been something to point out if it was known that under Ryu GunWoo's mask is Park MoonDae, but anyway, the comic image he now has was effective in relieving the tension.The scene where he took care of Jin ChaeYul on his way to Shin JaeHyun's team was also powerful, and the sharpness of public opinion towards Ryu GunWoo was relieved.-ㅠㅠ is so sweet. He must have had difficulties, but he still cared about the mental well-being of his dongsaeng?-He has a very ambitious spirit for success, it's nice to see him like that.-I look forward to his performanceAnd now, as an audience member, he'll get to see who takes the stage and get a sneak peek at what will be shown in the next episode....-Let's start with the first performance!'Uwaaah.'The professor, who had been lost in flashbacks for a moment, came back to himself. And fixed his gaze on the stage.'Who will come out first?'Naturally choosing the popular contestants, he saw silhouettes of the contestants come up on the dark stage.Then he saw colorful performances in which there were familiar faces, ambiguous ones, ones that showed more than he expected and ambitious but disappointing performances.-WAAAAAH!Still, most of the audience, who had not had much experience seeing such a stage in person, enjoyed watching and voted enthusiastically.This is because the boss deliberately did not tell the audience that they had a knife handle.Thanks to that, the evaluation was brutally honest.-The winner is... It's Jin ChaeYul, from the <Upper Class>, with 371 votes!Usually, overwhelming victories emerged, but sometimes participants performed similarly.In that case, interestingly, the initial participants tended to receive the most votes. It was the effect of preoccupying the viewers' consciousness.'Oh, it's YoonShin!'Likewise, the professor voted for the person he was most attracted to with a comfortable mind.This was seen through a monitor by the contestants who were going to present the next performance, and after setting the mood, they moved to the waiting area.The performance they will perform is a famous dance pop song by an American male artist.It is a groovy beat performance that has been arranged to focus mostly on vocals.But there was a secret.'Oh, actually, it's a performance I've done before.'It's a song he practiced a few months ago as a candidate to present at the agency's monthly evaluation, but discarded just before being evaluated.But he didn't flinch from doing it.'I didn't really show it before, so the company doesn't know.'Even if other contestants remembered seeing him practice that song, they weren't going to go to the trouble of scratching him, so he thought it would be okay to do that kind of cheating.He could perform the song he had practiced before by chance.'It's not like I'm getting screwed just because I don't want to use all my stamina.'Isn't it normal to lead the performance alone? Considering that he has handled everything from song selection to performance organization, it is correct to see this benefit.The former lead vocalist of VTIC, whom Ryu GunWoo calls 'Club Mavo', finished rationalizing.And he stood up, complaining about his tight pants.Next to him were two people who looked alike, Ryu GunWoo and Ryu CheongWoo, standing side by side and waiting calmly.They even smile and talk about their actions as if they were not nervous.'Why do they have to go to that extreme?'Isn't it a sickness when their awareness of the cameras is at that level?'Who doesn't already have their gold medals for archery, didn't that bastard retire after being exempted from military service?'And the boy next to him, who thought he was smart, had spoken to him while practicing with him.-The challengers appear together only at the end. Until then, how about only one person who is in charge of the parts comes on stage? Performances with collaborations are usually like this.It looked like he was bowing at his feet, but that couldn't be the case in a survival program, so he must have had an ulterior motive.Originally, he didn't even have his own authority. He should have educated him the moment he started telling him what to do with the performance... but he let it be.He thought there was nothing he didn't like when he told him he would reduce the amount of his parts on his own.'I think he's thinking of saving energy to definitely increase the quality of live performance...'His trainee period was short and he only studied, so he must have a plan in mind.However, unfortunately his lung capacity is natural. Those plans won't do him any good.'Well, I guess this bastard must think he's a great strategist.'Since he had become quite a character due to the fact that he is handsome, he felt that he had cheated.Guys like him become trolls by being very self-aware in games, and since it was a one-on-one confrontation, he welcomed the confrontation.-Go ahead, <Vocal B>!-Yes!And finally, it was time for the performance.Since they could debut together, the upper class participants joined in to give him words of encouragement.-Regardless of victory or defeat, teach them their performance properly, hyungs.Ryu GunWoo smiled and nodded.-Yes, I'll give my best... Why don't we cheer before we leave?-Yes, yes.Thinking that they wouldn't stop even after debuting, the upper class members joined in the chant of encouragement.-Let's show them everything! <Vocal B>, fighting!And after a while, on stage.At first, there was only one young man appearing in the background.As if it was a single performance.'Eh?'Ppabamppamppamppam–!As soon as the punctual lights were turned on, it was the same upper class participant who gyrated to the music.He started the song by gesturing in a light rhythm, as if choreographed.In a funky blues rhythm.I'm gonna show you something–Applause erupts at the high, steady notes that were heard.especially Good–, and remarkableThat's how it was meant to be!The upper class participant sang the familiar lyrics with freshness.The large amount of practice he had done allowed him to sing without thinking.Come on, it's not late!All he had to do was hold the microphone upright and turn it slightly - he's so good at singing and doing that little choreography so no one could help but admire him!The upper class member ended the final note with a triumphant performance.'It's like it's all over already!'But the moment the first half of the song ends.Another light flashes on the stage, illuminating a new person.I'm gonna show you somethingIt is the same melody as the first bar.However, the arrangement has changed.The musical accompaniment had almost disappeared and a low note falls over the soft piano.Too bad–, and unforgettable-...!In an instant, the concentration increased dramatically. And the young upperclassman got goosebumps.It was a sense of crisis.'Eh...??'Because Ryu GunWoo deliberately did not show his best skills in practice.Come on, I'm waiting!The upper class participant is a trainee.What that means is that he is not used to unexpected situations in real combat.For example, the pressure when you feel that your competitor's skills have suddenly improved.'...!'The upper class participant almost lost his tempo, but reflexively grabbed the microphone and entered the chorus.Break this dance hall!At the moment he was relieved by its neatness.As promised, an outstanding improvisation came out.Break this dance hall!It was only slightly higher pitched.However, there is a clear difference in technique and vocal volume.As if there was a difference in quality.Like a backup singer and a main singer.He went after him like he was devouring him.-WOW!!!The applause sounded like comparison.'Shit, shit!'The pace of the upper class boy in a hurry picked up slightly. The CEO raised his eyebrows.Ohh– yeah, yeah!Thus ended Ryu GunWoo's part.Ryu GunWoo disappeared from the stage with a slightly flashy farewell gesture. Even to that, people responded.All that's left is an empty microphone and a light.'Okay!'Around the time the young upperclassman does light choreography to the musical accompaniment, he finally found a sense of calm.He hadn't even started singing, when suddenly he hears cheers again.-UWAAAH! AAAAAH!'What...?'In the place where the standing microphone that Ryu GunWoo had vacated was, this time Ryu CheongWoo positioned himself.People are puzzled and stimulated by the unexpected appearance, but Ryu CheongWoo simply responded in a gentle way.He began the second verse in a low voice.I'm gonna show you something–His good voice was followed by cheers.Although his vocal ability was not much different from what he showed in practice, he is obviously singing better.The upper class member moved on to the next verse with nerves on edge.But...'Why...do I feel like I'm getting less cheers?'Originally, it's correct that the person who has the most footage of having done stage performances is highlighted.The problem was the change.Audiences get tired quickly.As soon as something new seems to get attention, something that was always there gets old.It becomes like a plain drink, with a boring taste.And toppings, which keep changing in appearance, take the place of the protagonist.'Ah.......'The person who holds his place is just part of a chorus.Unless you do it well, overwhelmingly enough to have the lead role.Ttuk.As soon as he felt it instinctively, cold sweat fell on the back of the young upperclassman.The tension caused him to slow his pace.'Uh.'His habit of singing out of inertia broke and disturbed his mental strength.And that was also visible to the audience.'Hmm....''Is he a little nervous?'Their impression of him, which was boosted by Ryu GunWoo in the first half of the song, collapsed in the second half and is completed as a single image.They concluded with 'He's not as good as I thought...'.Still, regardless of whether the person next to him did better or worse, Ryu CheongWoo sang naturally and calmly.There was nothing he was intimidated by or expected because he knew that his skills are not as good as his opponent's anyway.Then, a third microphone appeared from the back, and Ryu GunWoo appeared on stage again, singing his part while the audience cheered.Ohh– yeah, yeah!And it went on like this until the end with perfect harmony.-WAAAAAH!Applause broke out again, and so the performance ended. And the person everyone predicted would win soon appeared on the electronic screen.-The winner is... Ryu GunWoo, from the <Lower Class>, with 320 votes!The winner was Ryu GunWoo.And it was practically decided who of the losers would be eliminated.* * *At the end of the performance.There was a short break backstage before the real loser came out.-Hyung, this... this is really fun.As soon as Ryu CheongWoo took off the microphone, he ran out of breath and that was the first thing he said.And he spilled out more words without hearing a response first.-I didn't know I would feel like this. Even though... I didn't score well, even if I lose... I feel like I won a game. It's funny.He has an excited voice as if he were a kid, unlike his usual one that sounds more like that of an adult.And with sparkling eyes, he said.-It's hard to expect good results because he's better than me, but... I want to stay and do more. In spite of being cursed.I smiled slightly.-You don't have to worry about that. I don't think they'll curse you.-Really?Ryu CheongWoo's face is full of hope and longing.At that moment, I saw this guy's status window light up, blink and show new words.[The level of his attribute...].No way.[B → ¡A!][Full draw (A)]When you pull the rope, it will be in the correct position.→Composture in performance +120%.-...!Great. It seems that Ryu CheongWoo regained his passion for something and even influenced his attribute.Really... it's a very good thing.-Hmm.......Concern spread on CheongWoo's face, who lost his excitement for a moment.-...Hyung, is there a problem?-No, it's not that.It's not a problem.Although... In fact, I did something on an adrenaline rush.[Your fame is increasing....]+50000 ExpMy fame was calculated just in time.[Hul, hul, oh, hul, hul, you can draw 50 times, hyung!!]I was feeling good because I think the mavo club is going to be eliminated.So I thought it was a bonus, and I did the draws for the adrenaline....Until it came up.[Haha!][★★★★★ Ryu CheongWoo / Lead vocalist]-.......What... kind of signal is this?

KPOP song references for Ryu GunWoo, Ryu CheongWoo and Choi TaeJoon's performance:Quite apart from Bruno Mars and many other artists of different nationalities who have English songs with funk beats, Eunbi and I just came up with the following KPOP songs that have a slight funk influence and combine it with other beats to give a good song.
1. Something - TVXQ
Although, this song is not in funk style (it is swing jazz), Eunbi recommended it because the lyrics have precisely some lines reminiscent of the song written in this novel, except in the opposite direction, as the song sung by the boys positively encourages to show something remarkable and finish winning him over, while this reference song scolds the other person that has something but if does nothing better, she will not notice them and will leave: 'She got that something', 'You're going to have to do better than that', 'If all you do is look for an opportunity, it will already be too late'.
2. Black Suit - Super Junior
This song is not totally funky either, although the album it belongs to does have that vibe. The song is swing dance pop. However, it was the first one I thought of because at the end of the first verse, there is a descending scale of piano notes, then another final high note and suddenly Eunhyuk starts actively singing. The beginning of that verse is in a similar tone to Donghae's (who sang the first verse of the song); however, he adds a melodic and soft touch at the end of his verse, which makes it quite different from Donghae's, which felt more solid and stiff. That little contrast reminded me of the explanation in the novel of how Ryu GunWoo changed the tone of one verse (and also the arrangement of the musical accompaniment) in the second half of the song to distinguish himself from TaeJoon's.
3. Mr. Ambiguous - MAMAMOO
Finally we have a spectacular debut song with funk and blues rhythms as specified in this novel! It is very hard to find funky blues songs in KPOP, but this one is undoubtedly the most recognizable. Truth be told, the lyrics also urge Mr. Ambiguous to stop giving mixed signals and make his romantic interest clear: 'Don't just tease me, hurry up and come for me', 'Oh, Mr. Ambiguous, stop playing around'. They also play with the words 'show' and 'shoot', making their different meanings playful and fun. Moreover, the vocal power of the members, from low and sensual tones to powerful high tones, manages to captivate the listeners, making this song entertaining and vocally perfect for the Ryu cousins and TaeJoon.
Extra: Musical reference to Ryu GunWoo's solo performance.
At the start of the program <Wise> (episode 373), Ryu GunWoo sang a jazz pop song and I forgot to put some reference. Honestly, I forgot about it until I searched for musical references for this episode, and I couldn't help but feel like showing you this splendid performance of BTOB! The song is 'Blue Moon', but I chose the 'Cinema version' so that you can notice its great vocal quality, as well as great dramatic performance as if all the members were part of a musical. This song is of funky jazz and bebop genres, and both instrumentally and vocally, it is sublime. It is pleasing to imagine GunWoo singing this beautiful song.
The performance of the two successfully inherited the aggro performance of 'Ryu GunWoo VS Jin ChaeYul' and threw fuel on the fire once again.Here, a peculiar phenomenon also occurred.Originally, this agency's survival program worked differently from general survival programs where everyone fights against everyone.There were those who demanded that the group that would end up being formed thanks to this survival be debuted.-I think it would be perfect if everyone debuts like this ㅠㅠHowever, following the different impact of the <Supplementary Class>, especially Cha YooJin, who stands out as a comet, a new general audience has emerged that tends to focus on the individual rather than the team.'It's crazy.'The sudden influx of viewers caused the confusion to continue for several days, which drove existing viewers to corruption.It also had the effect of reigniting the controversy.-It would be a waste to eliminate Jin ChaeYul, so that guy decided GunWoo had no choice but to lose even though there was a boss pass hahaha I can't believe it-Did something bad happen between the CEO and Ryu GunWoo? Why did he have to treat that kid so cruelly when he could have used his pass on him?-All the RGW maniacs are saying he's a victim. Fuck, Wise fans as a group will be fed up when he debutsBut all this conflict was dramatically sealed yesterday with the fifth episode.'The key word 'sexy'!'Heavy viewers had already been excited after seeing just 5 seconds of spoilers for the performances in the trailer.Shin JaeHyun and Cha YooJin performed together again, and Ryu GunWoo was also included.

AAAAAH!'What...?'In the place where the standing microphone that Ryu GunWoo had vacated was, this time Ryu CheongWoo positioned himself.People are puzzled and stimulated by the unexpected appearance, but Ryu CheongWoo simply responded in a gentle way.He began the second verse in a low voice.I'm gonna show you something–His good voice was followed by cheers.Although his vocal ability was not much different from what he showed in practice, he is obviously singing better.The upper class member moved on to the next verse with nerves on edge.But...'Why...do I feel like I'm getting less cheers?'Originally, it's correct that the person who has the most footage of having done stage performances is highlighted.The problem was the change.Audiences get tired quickly.As soon as something new seems to get attention, something that was always there gets old.It becomes like a plain drink, with a boring taste.And toppings, which keep changing in appearance, take the place of the protagonist.'Ah.......'The person who holds his place is just part of a chorus.Unless you do it well, overwhelmingly enough to have the lead role.Ttuk.As soon as he felt it instinctively, cold sweat fell on the back of the young upperclassman.The tension caused him to slow his pace.'Uh.'His habit of singing out of inertia broke and disturbed his mental strength.And that was also visible to the audience.'Hmm....''Is he a little nervous?'Their impression of him, which was boosted by Ryu GunWoo in the first half of the song, collapsed in the second half and is completed as a single image.They concluded with 'He's not as good as I thought...'.Still, regardless of whether the person next to him did better or worse, Ryu CheongWoo sang naturally and calmly.There was nothing he was intimidated by or expected because he knew that his skills are not as good as his opponent's anyway.Then, a third microphone appeared from the back, and Ryu GunWoo appeared on stage again, singing his part while the audience cheered.Ohh– yeah, yeah!And it went on like this until the end with perfect harmony.-WAAAAAH!Applause broke out again, and so the performance ended. And the person everyone predicted would win soon appeared on the electronic screen.-The winner is... Ryu GunWoo, from the <Lower Class>, with 320 votes!The winner was Ryu GunWoo.And it was practically decided who of the losers would be eliminated.* * *At the end of the performance.There was a short break backstage before the real loser came out.-Hyung, this... this is really fun.As soon as Ryu CheongWoo took off the microphone, he ran out of breath and that was the first thing he said.And he spilled out more words without hearing a response first.-I didn't know I would feel like this. Even though... I didn't score well, even if I lose... I feel like I won a game. It's funny.He has an excited voice as if he were a kid, unlike his usual one that sounds more like that of an adult.And with sparkling eyes, he said.-It's hard to expect good results because he's better than me, but... I want to stay and do more. In spite of being cursed.I smiled slightly.-You don't have to worry about that. I don't think they'll curse you.-Really?Ryu CheongWoo's face is full of hope and longing.At that moment, I saw this guy's status window light up, blink and show new words.[The level of his attribute...].No way.[B → ¡A!][Full draw (A)]When you pull the rope, it will be in the correct position.→Composture in performance +120%.-...!Great. It seems that Ryu CheongWoo regained his passion for something and even influenced his attribute.Really... it's a very good thing.-Hmm.......Concern spread on CheongWoo's face, who lost his excitement for a moment.-...Hyung, is there a problem?-No, it's not that.It's not a problem.Although... In fact, I did something on an adrenaline rush.[Your fame is increasing....]+50000 ExpMy fame was calculated just in time.[Hul, hul, oh, hul, hul, you can draw 50 times, hyung!!]I was feeling good because I think the mavo club is going to be eliminated.So I thought it was a bonus, and I did the draws for the adrenaline....Until it came up.[Haha!][★★★★★ Ryu CheongWoo / Lead vocalist]-.......What... kind of signal is this?

KPOP song references for Ryu GunWoo, Ryu CheongWoo and Choi TaeJoon's performance:Quite apart from Bruno Mars and many other artists of different nationalities who have English songs with funk beats, Eunbi and I just came up with the following KPOP songs that have a slight funk influence and combine it with other beats to give a good song.
1. Something - TVXQ
Although, this song is not in funk style (it is swing jazz), Eunbi recommended it because the lyrics have precisely some lines reminiscent of the song written in this novel, except in the opposite direction, as the song sung by the boys positively encourages to show something remarkable and finish winning him over, while this reference song scolds the other person that has something but if does nothing better, she will not notice them and will leave: 'She got that something', 'You're going to have to do better than that', 'If all you do is look for an opportunity, it will already be too late'.
2. Black Suit - Super Junior
This song is not totally funky either, although the album it belongs to does have that vibe. The song is swing dance pop. However, it was the first one I thought of because at the end of the first verse, there is a descending scale of piano notes, then another final high note and suddenly Eunhyuk starts actively singing. The beginning of that verse is in a similar tone to Donghae's (who sang the first verse of the song); however, he adds a melodic and soft touch at the end of his verse, which makes it quite different from Donghae's, which felt more solid and stiff. That little contrast reminded me of the explanation in the novel of how Ryu GunWoo changed the tone of one verse (and also the arrangement of the musical accompaniment) in the second half of the song to distinguish himself from TaeJoon's.
3. Mr. Ambiguous - MAMAMOO
Finally we have a spectacular debut song with funk and blues rhythms as specified in this novel! It is very hard to find funky blues songs in KPOP, but this one is undoubtedly the most recognizable. Truth be told, the lyrics also urge Mr. Ambiguous to stop giving mixed signals and make his romantic interest clear: 'Don't just tease me, hurry up and come for me', 'Oh, Mr. Ambiguous, stop playing around'. They also play with the words 'show' and 'shoot', making their different meanings playful and fun. Moreover, the vocal power of the members, from low and sensual tones to powerful high tones, manages to captivate the listeners, making this song entertaining and vocally perfect for the Ryu cousins and TaeJoon.
Extra: Musical reference to Ryu GunWoo's solo performance.
At the start of the program <Wise> (episode 373), Ryu GunWoo sang a jazz pop song and I forgot to put some reference. Honestly, I forgot about it until I searched for musical references for this episode, and I couldn't help but feel like showing you this splendid performance of BTOB! The song is 'Blue Moon', but I chose the 'Cinema version' so that you can notice its great vocal quality, as well as great dramatic performance as if all the members were part of a musical. This song is of funky jazz and bebop genres, and both instrumentally and vocally, it is sublime. It is pleasing to imagine GunWoo singing this beautiful song.
